against the front

Chapter 152 Crazy Thoughts

"It's a great close defense." Although many "fake" fans came to the Staples Center today, when Kobe, who was holding the ball, tried twice in a row, he couldn't get rid of Tony Allen who was sticking to him. Even these fake fans can clearly feel that the guy defending Kobe is definitely not a small character that is easy to deal with.

Tony Allen is very difficult to deal with. Kobe knew this a long time ago, so after Tony Allen played and faced himself, Kobe was already mentally prepared. After two consecutive attempts to break through failed , Kobe quickly took a step back, and after opening the distance with Tony Allen, he used his speed and explosive power to get rid of Tony Allen who was entangled with him like brown sugar.

However, Kobe Bryant, who got rid of Tony Allen, just stepped into the three-point line with his front foot, and saw a black and hard rushing towards him. He originally planned to stop and jump after entering the three-point line. Kobe, looking at Serge Ibaka, who was only about one meter away from him, had to give up his plan to stop and jump and pass the basketball from Serge Ibaka's side to the distance basket. Pau Gasol just two steps away from the basket.

"Beautiful!" Phil Jackson, who was still displeased with Kobe's ball-handling singles against Tony Allen just now, after seeing Kobe's wonderful pass to Pau Gasol, the anger on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by What is full of joy and admiration is that after Serge Ibaka rushed out to defend Kobe, Pau Gasol, who is behind Ibaka, is now in the open, and Paul who received the pass - Gasol, he can wreak havoc on the King's basket by going forward, and he can make jump shots on the spot. It can be said that as long as Kobe's pass successfully reaches Gasol's hands, Gasol will definitely be able to convert it into a score.

And Pau Gasol, who received the pass from Kobe, obviously chose the former. Almost at the moment of receiving the pass from Kobe, Pau Gasol took a step forward, holding the basketball with one hand, ready to smash it hard. Into the king's basket.

However, when Pau Gasol was about to take off, he saw Yan Hua on the other side of the paint area rushing towards him at a very fast speed, but Pau Gasol, whose heels had already left the ground, Now there is no way out. At this time, he has only one choice, which is to confront Yan Hua head-on, or put the basketball in his hand into the basket before Yan Hua rushes over.

With a distance of more than one meter, as long as Pau Gasol swings his arm, he can smash the basketball in his hand into the basket, but with a distance of more than one meter, for Pau Gasol, it is impossible. The distance crossed, because just when Pau Gasol completed the jump, rounded his arms, and was about to smash the basketball into the basket, Yan Hua, who was originally on the other side of the court, had already returned to the defense in time. And completed the take-off in a very short time, and slapped the basketball held by Pau Gasol with a very precise slap.

Feeling the pain from the basketball passing through his wrist and quickly spreading to his arm, Paul Gasol, who was still in the air, went blank for a moment, because Paul Gasol clearly felt just now that the basketball came from him. flying away from his hand.

When the basketball fanned out by Yan Hua was picked up by Serge Ibaka behind Pau Gasol and directly launched a fast break, everyone in the Staples Center, the fans at the scene, and the press box The reporters on the stage, as well as the many big names in Hollywood sitting on both sides of the court, at this moment, all focused on Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka.

In the defense just now, the king's two inside help defense senses are simply terrifying. Kobe just got rid of Tony Allen, and he didn't even have a chance to make a shot. Serge Ibaka's help defense was in place, and After Kobe passed the basketball to Pau Gasol, Pau Gasol got a chance to shoot, but before the basketball that was held high was dropped by Yan Hua from the other side of the court, Give it a slap and it will fly away.

"Reggie, we made it, we made it!" After Yan Hua ended Pau Gasol's dunk attempt with a cap, Tyrone Corbin, who was standing on the sidelines, jumped up excitedly.

Tony Allen's almost crazy one-on-one defense on the perimeter, Serge Ibaka's seemingly reckless but extremely critical supplementary defense, and Yan Hua's last assist defense block, when a series of situations occur at the same time , the king's defense not only has a sense of hierarchy, but also the shadow of the defensive system is very clear, especially the two defenses of Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka just now. If you use one word to describe it, it is omnipresent.

"Yeah, we succeeded." Although in Reggie Toyes's view, the Kings still have many problems on the defensive end, they have indeed seen the shadow of the defensive system now. Defense is not the same as defense that relies on individual ability to fight alone.

But what makes Reggie Toyes feel a little regretful is that Kevin Martin and John Salmons cannot be integrated into this defensive system. Above the average level, but his ability to assist in defense is much worse, and Kevin Martin's defense can't even take care of himself.

If Kevin Martin can have John Salmons' level of one-on-one defensive ability, and John Salmons can also have an excellent ability to help defend and fill up, then with Yan Hua sitting at the basket, Tony- With Allen and Kevin Martin on the perimeter, John Salmons and Serge Ibaka on the left and right sides of the paint, the Kings' defense is definitely among the best in the league.

Thinking of this, Reggie Toyes shook his head, because his idea just now was too crazy, no team could gather such a lineup.

Although Reggie Toyce still had some regrets, when Serge Ibaka cooperated with Tony Allen to score on the fast break, Reggie Toyce still looked at the Kings players on the field with a satisfied face Applause, as for the bench behind Reggie Toyes, after Yan Hua slapped Paul Gasol, the King's bench exploded.

21 to 18, after Tony Allen scored a fast break, the Kings in the away game took a 3-point lead. Phil Jackson quickly called a timeout, because Phil Jackson saw something different in the round just now, and it was something that didn't need to be targeted.
