Chapter 446 Super Defensive Team
On the court, Li Lei finally landed.

He punched the sky, hissing and roaring.

All the Grizzlies players rushed forward and touched Li Lei's chest fiercely to vent their enthusiasm.

And Kwame Brown was lying on the floor, covering his face, and didn't get up for a long time, as if he was injured

The game stalled.

The Lakers doctor went to the court to examine Kwame Brown.

After finishing, everyone saw the team doctor's face became strange.

"There's nothing wrong with Kwame's body, he's not injured. He's just... embarrassed!"

Embarrassed!
Excuse me!
not good!

……

Everyone in the audience looked weird.

Some fans even laughed out loud.

As expected of Kwame Brown, a man who can say "don't pass the ball to me", it's not surprising what happened.

But more fans feel the same way.

If they were the ones who were "murdered" by Li Lei just now, they would probably dig a hole in the ground and never come out again.

This goal is destined to be famous in history, and it will be a famous scene forever in the hearts of fans.

And the name Kwame Brown will be remembered by more fans...as a background board.

At this moment, Li Lei approached.

Fisher and Garnett looked at Li Lei warily.

But seeing Milicic next to Li Lei, and Zhu Fangyu off the court, both of them were very honest and did not dare to pick on Li Lei.

Li Lei ignored the two and walked over to Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown still covered his face, his face was slightly red, just because the dark skin was not obvious.

Li Lei squatted down: "Kwame, get up quickly. Check again, don't get hurt."

Li Lei was also afraid that he would really hurt Kwame Brown with that blow just now.

He just wanted to play ball, and he didn't really want to murder Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown ignored Li Lei, but his face turned redder.

Li Lei knew in his heart that this guy was very sensitive and fragile, and he was even more embarrassed.

Li Lei didn't give up. He almost got down on his stomach and said in Kwame Brown's ear, "You are a real warrior. You are very brave. I admire your bravery."

Kwame Brown finally removed the hand covering his face, but he obviously didn't believe it: "Don't be kidding, I was killed by you, what do you admire about me?"

Li Lei smiled.

As long as you are obedient, there is a chance.

He strikes while the iron is hot: "In my first NBA game, I was knocked to the ground by Allen Iverson. I was also very ashamed at the time. But Allen told me: Only guys who defend with all their strength will be knocked down by him, and all Going all out should not be ridiculed. I also want to say that you will be knocked over by me when you defend with all your strength. This is not worthy of ridicule, but praise.”

Kwame Brown was stunned for a long time after hearing Li Lei's story.

Then, his face turned red.

Even dark skin can't hide it.

Li Lei was still a little puzzled.

Kwame Brown was ashamed.

He knows this story, the league is so big, and some things spread quickly in the player circle.

Kwame Brown heard about this incident at the time, and he and his teammates mocked Li Lei when he was still in the Wizards.

But now, Li Lei actually used this incident to comfort him.

Kwame Brown instantly felt humble, shameless, and rubbish.

And Li Lei exudes eternal brilliance, especially tall.

This is really no coincidence.

If Li Lei knew that Kwame Brown had laughed at him, he probably wouldn't comfort him.

But it was precisely because he didn't know that things developed like this. Kwame Brown was impressed by Li Lei, and the little fan +1.

Then, Kwame Brown got up with Li Lei's support.

There were sporadic applause at the scene.

Los Angeles people hate Li Lei's strength, but they are impressed by Li Lei's charisma.

Kobe Bryant's number one fan, actor Jack Nicholson, took the lead in applauding Li Lei, followed by the Los Angeles stars.

Jay Chou, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, Jackie Chan and others applauded vigorously, their hands were red.

"The stone conquered me!"

Jet Li said.

"Not just the skills, but also the character!"

Jackie Chan said.

Jay Chou complained: "Brother, you don't know basketball."

Jackie Chan laughed: "As long as you are not blind, you can see that the stone is the brightest star in the entire stadium!"

It is!

Jay Chou nodded.

Li Lei is too strong. He scored 14 points in a row in the opening game, three-pointers, cap grabs, steals, and dunks... Even Kobe, who is known as the No.1 active player in the NBA, was all covered by Li Lei.

And Li Lei's strength made these Chinese stars proud, as if they were the ones shining on the court, which made them extremely proud.

After Kwame Brown stood up, the Lakers teammates checked him again and confirmed that there was no problem before the game resumed.

At this time, David Stern on the sidelines looked at Old Bass again: "Old guy, do you dare to say that you don't regret it now?"

Before the opening, Stern once asked Bass whether he regretted missing Li Lei twice.

At that time, the old Buss was very hard-spoken, saying that he had Kobe + Garnett and had nothing to regret.

But now, Old Buzz snorted coldly.

snort!
Nothing was said.

Yes, who are you going to lie to with some nonsense?
It's not that Stern doesn't understand the ball.

In terms of strength alone, Li Lei is no worse than Garnett now.

Speaking of the market and popularity, China behind Li Lei can crush Garnett into slag.

The most important thing is age!

Garnett is now 31 years old, older than Kobe.

Once Kobe gets old, who will take over?
And Li Lei is only 23 years old, 6 years younger than Kobe.

When Kobe gets old and Li Lei takes over, just in time to take over, the Lakers don't have to worry about it for the next ten years, or even 15 years.

But the premise of all this is that the Lakers chose Li Lei in the first place.

Thinking of this, Old Bath didn't even have the strength to refute.

Seeing old Buss deflated, Stern was not to mention how happy he was, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "I want to thank you!"

"If you chose Stone, Stone + Kobe, this combination would make the entire league desperate, and I would have a headache. Thank you for dismantling them in advance, you are my great benefactor!"

Old Bath was furious, pointing at Stern: "You! You! You..."

Suddenly, Old Bath clutched his chest, as if he was going to pass at any moment.

Stern just stopped.

Old Bath's health is getting worse and worse, and he probably won't be alive for a few years, so it's better not to stimulate him.

……

The game continues.

Lakers offense.

Kobe looked up at the 14:5 point difference and asked for the ball.

Kwame Brown actually came out to do the pick-and-roll very discerningly.

Because of his wide and hard body, Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll quality is particularly good.

Bryant took the opportunity to get rid of Hill.

Milicic immediately chose to switch defenses, and Hill also chased after him.

Flanking from both sides.

But Kobe played very decisively, before the two rushed over, he pulled up and shot.

Iconic fadeaway jumper.

Swish!
Have it.

14: 7.

At the critical moment, it was Kobe who turned the tide!

The Grizzlies attack.

As soon as Li Lei stepped on the three-point line with the ball, Kobe rushed over from the side.

Kobe cooperated with Wharton and flanked Li Lei.

After Li Lei scored 14 points in a row, the Lakers finally chose to flank Li Lei.

Phil Jackson realized that Li Lei tonight, no one can defend him one-on-one.

Li Lei was a little caught off guard by the sudden increase in intensity, but subconsciously thought of a sentence: If there is a double-team, there will be a vacancy.

Li Lei threw the ball to Kobe's opponent, Hill.

"Oops!"

Li Lei's expression changed.

It turned out that when Kobe released Hill and rushed to Li Lei, Fisher defended Hill.

The Lakers did not release veteran Hill, but Lowry, who was a little nervous tonight and in average condition.

Seeing Li Lei pass the ball, Fisher made a quick move and intercepted halfway.

Snapped!
Kobe grabs the ball and plays it straight away.

Li Lei chased desperately, trying to make up for his mistake.

In the frontcourt, Kobe jumped up and bombed the basket. Li Lei chased after him.

But at this moment, Kobe seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Instead of hitting himself, he made a clever behind-the-back pass.

Garnett, who was right behind, caught the ball and exploded directly.

boom!
14: 9.

Coach Rick Carlisle stood up and shouted from the sidelines: "Hey, Paul, Grant, the opponent is attacking Stone. You have to stand up and give him enough help."

The Grizzlies attack.

Just as Li Lei got the ball, the opponents rushed forward directly, without any chance.

Gasol took the initiative to respond.

Li Lei passed the ball.

Gasol's free throw line position against Garnett, a breakthrough after the feint.

Garnett defended and retreated. Although he kept retreating, he was always blocked between Gasol and the basket, and he did not lose his position at all.

Gasol got to the basket, feinted again, and shot directly.

However, Garnett didn't hesitate at all, and accurately judged that Gasol's first slap was a fake move, and the second slap was a strong attack, so he slapped him.

Snapped!
block!

Walton tapped the basketball and handed it to Fisher. The Lakers made another fast break and scored another 2 points.

Swish!
14: 11.

"Hoohoho!"

Staples Center boiled directly.

The Lakers scored 6 points in a row, narrowing the point difference to the last 3 points, and they have a chance to overtake.

Los Angeles fans yelled and jumped to cheer for the Lakers.

Uncomfortable became a Grizzlies fan.

Jay Chou said anxiously: "What's the matter with Gasol? Why is it like being hit by a spell when you meet Garnett, and you can't fight at all."

Gasol is not considered a top power forward, but he is also a top-notch player. He can play back and forth with many superstars.

But every time he met Garnett, Gasol would play very badly, be especially restrained, and be too soft.

Chinese fans even nicknamed him "Jiasao" to describe his softness.

The Grizzlies attack.

The Lakers still resolutely double-teamed Li Lei and did not give Li Lei a chance to attack.

Li Lei had no choice but to pass the ball to Hill.

Hill relied on Milicic's cover and rushed directly to the inside.

Regardless of Hill's serious injury and his age, his playing style is really fierce and explosive.

With an acceleration, Hill sprinted to the basket, causing a foul by Kwame Brown and winning two free throws for himself.

Hill walked to the free throw line, hit the first free throw, and the second free throw was also very solid.

Swish!
Swish!
16: 11.

After a few minutes, the Grizzlies finally opened again.

Coach Rick Carlisle on the sidelines finally breathed a sigh of relief.

An old house where a treasure.

At the critical moment, a veteran like Hill has to stand up.

Subsequently, Lowry also steals Fisher, and the Grizzlies quickly pushed back.

The momentum of the Grizzlies is about to rise all of a sudden.

Old Hill personally advanced to the frontcourt and made a layup.

Bang, swish!

18: 11.

Pretty!

Hill scored 4 points in a row.

It is worthy of being the superstar who was regarded as Jordan's successor back then. Even though he suffered from injuries and age, he was still strong.

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun also relaxed.

"Jerry West's vision is really good. The veteran's basic salary is enough to sign such a helper to the Grizzlies, which is a great help to Stone."

Lakers offense.

Walton's mid-range jumper missed.

Milicic protected the backcourt rebound and the Grizzlies attacked.

Still Hill.

Hill relied on his body to forcefully squeeze the fierce Kobe away, and accelerated to break through.

Kwame Brown guarded the basket, jumped up, and tried to block Hill.

If it was six years ago, Hill would probably have dunked directly at Kwame Brown just like Li Lei.

But now, Hill chose to pull up the layup.

It's not easy for a 36-year-old veteran who has suffered serious injuries.

Snapped!
However, at this moment, a slender figure descended from the sky and slapped Hill's drawbar for a layup.

"Wolf King" Kevin Garnett!

This is the defensive ability of the league's top defender!

"Roar!"

The next second, after landing, Garnett beat his chest and roared, his face was ferocious, very scary.

And Hill was full of bitterness: If it was back then...

A hero doesn't mention his bravery!
But when you get old, those things from that year will involuntarily drill into your head.

All the memories in the heart are the past!

In the next round, Hill played a post-up single from inside the three-point line and missed the shot under Kobe's defense.

Bang!

"This……"

I thought that Hill could stand up and help Li Lei, but Hill can't do it now either.

It's really that the Lakers' defense is terrible and suffocating.

Subsequently, Lowry also tried.

But his immature offense was full of flaws in the eyes of the Lakers, and he gave the ball to the opponent with two consecutive turnovers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lakers scored little by little, caught up little by little, and overtook little by little.

18: 11.

18: 15.

19: 19.

21: 25.

The Lakers went from being 7 points behind to leading by 4 points, and they beat the Grizzlies by 11 points inside and out.

In the second quarter of the game, the rotations of the two sides played against each other.

Gay played a good performance, and once helped the Grizzlies tie the score.

But after the two sides returned from the first round.

The Lakers gradually established their lead.

It's really that the Lakers' defense is terrible, giving people a feeling of suffocation. Gasol, Hill, and Lowry are all unable to open.

The Grizzlies are relying on Li Lei to drag four, and it is difficult to score points.

The first half is over,
39: 51.

The Lakers led by 12 points.

The 12-point difference is not much on the basketball court, but facing a super defensive team like the Lakers, it is too difficult to recover these 12 points.

During the intermission, Los Angeles fans rejoiced, drinking beer and eating popcorn.

And some Chinese fans are relatively depressed.
