NBA: Started as Sakuragi Hanamichi

Chapter 417 Kobe Bryant's Lefty Attack

Yao Ming closed the game with a turnaround jumper in the paint, and it was the Hornets' turn to attack.

Paul Paoge took control of the ball, dribbled halfway, and broke through by himself.

Swimming around, finding a small open spot, ignoring the old fish, and throwing a throw back.

Paul is a player with a high basketball IQ.

The pass should still be played by himself, Paul knew clearly.

Entering the inside this time, Chandler had a pick-and-roll in the low post, which caused the old fish to fail to keep up.

Then Paul made a decisive shot and scored two points from a short and medium distance.

"Kris Queen moves through his dribble, finds the right shot, and puts the ball in the basket."

"Old Fish has no positional interference, and other Lakers players have not switched defenses with Old Fish."

"Causes Queen Chris to have a good shot."

Paul scored the goal and signaled his teammates to return to defense.

The Lakers continued to attack, and Lao Yu advanced with the ball.

Also broke through Paul, got into the inside line, and was surrounded by David West.

Lao Yu had no choice but to pass it on to Yi Jianlian.

After Yi Jian connected the ball, he didn't go up for the first time.

Instead, it continued to pass and gave it to Kobe on the outside.

Kobe held the ball and lowered his center of gravity to break through, throwing Peterson away.

Then, in the short corner on the left, the shot is chic and leaned back.

Peterson jumps to block, fouls the wrist, and Kobe goes to the free throw line.

After two free throws were made, the game continued.

Under the leadership of Paul, the Hornets have an orderly offensive routine and are not flustered at all.

Continuously supporting the high and low positions, the Hornets played a very smooth offense.

This rhythm is not inferior to the Lakers at all.

In this season, the Hornets are a strong team, and the regular record once surpassed the San Antonio Spurs.

Of course, this is also the peak period of the Hornets.

Later, the Hornets gradually declined, and Paul himself asked to be traded.

17:17
At 9 minutes and 22 seconds into the first quarter, the Lakers and Hornets drew at 17:17.

Easy side to fight again, the Lakers have the ball.

Lin Feng led the offense, and neither Yao Ming nor Yi Jianlian had a good chance inside, so Lin Feng made a three-pointer himself.

Peja Stojakovic stretched his arm to interfere, but it was useless, and Lin Feng could enter when he should.

The three-pointer crossed a beautiful arc and got into the basket.

"China Lin made his own three-pointer, which is still so accurate."

"Rao was Peja Stojakovic, who had the advantage of height, stretched his arms to interfere as much as possible, and China Lin still scored the goal."

"Will this be the Lakers blowing the horn of counterattack?"

In the commentary seat, Mike Brin and Kenny Smith looked at each other.

Sometimes, Lin Feng blew a demon wind on the court.

Then the Lakers increased the score until they defeated their opponents.

The Hornets watched Lin Feng make an ultra-long three-pointer. Not to be outdone, Paul seemed to intend to face the Lakers in this game.

After Chandler's high pick-and-roll, Paul dribbles to the weak side for another small open.

Immediately after the three-point shot, this ball also has it.

Hollow into the net, the same as Lin Feng.

"China Lin scored a three-pointer, and the queen bee responded immediately. Is this going to be a three-pointer contest?"

Kenny Smith rolled his eyes.

The Lakers attack on the next turn and hand the ball to Kobe.

In the positional battle, the black Mamba is the first, and Peterson is played in the middle distance.

Continuous feints turned Peterson around, and then made a steady mid-range shot with one hand, ending the battle.

In the first quarter, the shooting percentages of both teams were quite high. Kobe scored 6 points, all of which were mid-range shots.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Lakers did not expand the score, only leading the Hornets by two points.

The game is anxious, so it is more enjoyable.

The second quarter starts.

Hornets players, Paul organized the offense single-handedly.

This time, Chandler assisted Chandler to score an empty basket, but Yao Ming returned one later.

He dunked the rim, Yao Ming's low singles also succeeded in dunking.

And Yao Ming's dunks seem to be much more impressive than Chandler's.

Because Yao Ming dunked, he didn't need to take off at all, and the basketball was in his hands.

With his back against Chandler, he turned around and dunked.

It seems that in Yao Ming's eyes, dunking is much easier.

The entire second quarter was a battle between outside and inside.

Lin Feng was fully fired in this quarter, taking 6 shots and hitting 5 goals.

Two of them were three-pointers.

And Kobe took 4 shots, hit the iron twice, and hit twice.

Lao Yu scored two three-pointers, Yao Ming scored 8 points, and Yi Jianlian also scored [-] points.

As for the Hornets, they did not lose to the Lakers.

They were particularly resilient tonight, with Paul scoring 15 points in the second quarter.

Under Lin Feng's strict defense, Peja Stojakovic did not score too many points, but scored 5 rebounds.

Peterson and David West contributed 11 points together.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Hornets by four points 48:44.

With a four-point lead, I dare not take it lightly, because there are too few four points.

If you don't pay attention, you will be overturned by the Hornets.

At the start of the third quarter, neither Zen Master nor Byron Scott made any substitutions.

Or use the starting lineup to head-to-head with the opponent!
Because Zen Master knows that the most terrifying thing about this Lakers team is that they are very good at counterattacking.

Once the opponent makes a mistake and Lin Feng and Kobe seize the opportunity to counterattack, they can basically score.

Now the point difference cannot be opened because the Hornets did not make a mistake and were caught by the Lakers.

As long as it is caught, the point difference will naturally reach double digits.

Come on!

Shortly after the start of the third quarter, Chandler made a mistake.

The inside line was careless and was blocked by Yao Ming.

Lin Feng picked up the ball in time, looked at Kobe who was running to the frontcourt, and threw a long pass to Kobe.

After receiving the ball, Kobe didn't hesitate, and he singled out the two opponents.

Break through with a snake-like move, and then on the right side, a high-arc throw to score the ball.

"Oumaiga! After watching the entire first half, the Hornets finally made a mistake, and the Lakers seized the opportunity to counterattack."

"Kobe faced two people in the paint, and scored with a left-handed throw!"

"The proficiency of the black mamba's left hand is no less than that of the right hand. This is the result of terrifying training."

"In the NBA, Kobe is the only one who can practice such a stable left-handed shot."

Mike Brin yelled.

Kobe's left-handed throw can be given full marks.

Because the shooting space on the right was blocked, Kobe had no choice but to use his left hand.

This is the beauty of practicing the left hand.

Some guys are just bad, and are used to guarding the right side of the ball handler.

Because the average player is better at attacking with his right hand, but his left hand is very unfamiliar and unskilled, even if he makes a shot, he will hit the iron.

However, this method is useless against players like Kobe.

Kobe's right-handed shooting has long been practiced with great proficiency.

As long as you give him a little space, he can make a smooth shot.

You can even throw the ball in!

It has to be said that Kobe's left hand is awesome and can shoot from any position.
