I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 299 Anxiety
Coach Tomjanovich looked at Su Yi who was walking towards the court, and thought to himself, whether Artest's defense against Su Yi was successful or not could win the game.

Tang Shuai didn't ask Artest to make a request to hurt his opponent, he just asked Artest to prevent Su Yi from death at all costs. Especially two people, any action may cause injury to the player.

But this is basketball. In the philosophy of the older generation of basketball coaches, at least one of the teams must do dirty work. For example, the Bad Boys of the Pistons were called the most terrifying and "dirty" ball in NBA history. They are famous for playing tough, brutal, rough, and dirty games. Even Jordan was injured by them many times. In their peak era, Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, never stepped over their ball. Team.

There are still many such teams. The most typical one in the post-Jordan era is the Spurs. Bruce Bowen of the Spurs has countless cripples. Many superstars bid farewell to the NBA arena under his black feet, or they can only disappear after recovery. You But in the future, he can become a Hall of Fame player for the Spurs.

Another example is that future Nuggets coach George Karl also asked Iguodala to abolish Stephen Curry of the Warriors to achieve the goal of winning.

This is the basketball concept of veteran coaches. If my team can’t beat you, I can keep you out of the court. Even if you stay on the court, you can’t play your full strength. The villain, and the Rockets also have such a villain, he is Artest.

There is no doubt that Artest's defense is very fierce. Just like Karl Malone is always willing to light up his big elbow when defending, Artest also has such a defensive habit, but last season he was in Michael. Playing beside Jordan, Su Yi, McGrady and other star players does not require him to make such a tough performance. The team can completely rely on hard power to defeat the opponent.

But this season is different. Jordan retired, Su Yi and McGrady were traded away one after another, in exchange for a cold Kobe Bryant who almost occupied most of the ball, which left Artest with no room to play. , Even during the playoffs, he can only do some dirty work, and the team's meritorious coach Tomjanovich is going to retire for medical treatment, which makes Artest want to leave the Rockets a little bit, so He doesn't care what Su Yi thinks about him at all. At worst, he will leave here and start again. He believes that with his own strength, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the NBA.

The game restarted. On the court, after the Rockets made a substitution, the first thing to consider was to score a goal and regain the advantage back to their own hands.

Kobe attacked with the ball. If you don't look at Kobe's iron numbers in this game, his score is still very high, but his efficiency is a bit poor. But Kobe believes that everyone will have low tides, but he dare not shoot when low tides. It's not a superstar to give up the points that are within easy reach and not fight for it, so even if he is attacking with a very low efficiency, he can still firmly control the ball in his own hands.

The team's starting point guard, Chauncey Billups, has rarely held the ball. He has now become a Fisher-style half-court passer, whose only role is when Kobe thinks he has a little chance. When there is none, catch the ball and shoot a fixed-point three-pointer. In fact, shooting three-pointers is not Billups' strong point. Sorting out the team's offense is his greatest advantage. If Billups is only allowed to be a catch-and-shooter, he Maybe not as good as Fisher, at least Fisher's open three-pointers are still very accurate.

Now that Kobe and Su Yi are facing each other, this scene has happened many times tonight. Although Kobe often has picturesque shots, Su Yi doesn't give way too much. The two of you turn around and look up beautifully. , I am a basketball god possessing a difficult fadeaway jumper.

But in general, Su Yi can't defend Kobe. Kobe's breakthrough is more deterrent. Even with the help of defense, it can't stop Kobe's shot. As for the ball not being thrown, it can only be said that Kobe's touch today is really very average. .

If Kobe and Su Yi are good friends who talk about everything off the court, Su Yi is the enemy that Kobe must defeat on the court. Both Su Yi and Jordan are the culprits who gave Kobe a bad experience last season. The culprit is that we can respect each other off the court, but on the court we have to use all our strength to fight for it. Kobe didn't have the idea of ​​humility, that's disrespect for his opponent.

In contrast, Su Yi is more willing to look at the game with a peaceful mind. The victory of a game does not mean everything, but the victory is above all else. The pursuit of victory and the pursuit of the championship is the pursuit of every NBA player. On the stage of the playoffs, no one is willing to hand over the highest honor to others.

Su Yi can also understand that for this championship, there are so many players trying their best on the court every year, and there will be so many players who will win the championship with their thighs in the future.

The players of the Rockets and the Nuggets spread out to both sides of the field in a tacit understanding, leaving the entire middle lane for Kobe and Su Yi to confront each other. Although the game has reached the final stage, the top superstars of both teams will decide the final outcome. It also seems to be an unspoken rule in the NBA arena.

Kobe was about to make a big move, everyone pulled away, and he singled out Su Yi. If this could be prevented, then in Kobe's opinion, his team would not be wronged if they lost.

Kobe lowered his body and made several crotch dribbles in a row to try to trick Su Yi away, but Su Yi wasn't just for nothing. Although Kobe's breakthrough seems to have [-]% of Iverson's demeanor of crossing flowers and butterflies, Su Yi With the help of his familiarity with Kobe, Yi blocked him from changing direction several times in a row.

The offense was beautiful and the defense was tight. Although the road ahead was blocked for a while, Kobe did not stop. His body center of gravity was slightly retracted. It only took a blink of an eye to go from accelerating breakthrough to emergency stop to collect the ball, and then quickly switched to holding the ball. The ball shooting action is like doing gymnastics, and every action is coherent and orderly.

Seeing this, Su Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to block, but just as he jumped up, his eyes froze. Kobe didn't jump up. He made a fake move. He didn't expect that after using so many technical moves, Kobe could still use it. Such a realistic shooting fake, Su Yi who has been so concentrated was unexpected.

Kobe received the ball and lowered his body's center of gravity again, and slipped under Su Yi's outstretched arms. It has to be said that Kobe's waist is peerless. It can be less than a second ahead of time.

Seeing Su Yi's breakthrough, even though the Nuggets players had expected it, they still didn't expect Kobe to rush to the basket like a [-]-meter sprint. Scored two points with a stunning dunk.

With 42 seconds left in the game, the Rockets regained their lead thanks to Kobe's breakthrough dunk, and the Nuggets are now in a hurry.
