hall of fame small forward

Chapter 233 Smoke from Ancestral Graves
Totoro saw that there was no chance, so he slowed down and didn't force himself. It's nothing to him if he doesn't have a fast break opportunity. Please, he is also a star anyway. Can't score?

Looking up at the timer above his head, Totoro felt that his score was a bit low. Battier made two three-pointers and increased by 6 points. It would be impossible if he didn't work harder.

Calderon dribbled steadily to the frontcourt. Along the way, Fisher used his strong chest muscles to interfere with the opponent's dribbling. The basic quality of an nba-level point guard, you can just pick a drinking fountain point guard from the bench and he can do it for you. If you can't even handle the ball steadily, this kind of point guard should go to the cba to find his own way out Bar.

Chinchilla received a pass from Calderon and was preparing to attack by himself, when he suddenly found that it was not Ariza who was standing in front of him defending, but Kobe, who was red-eyed and furious.

"Ha ha."

My Neighbor Totoro was immediately happy. Strictly speaking, Kobe's defense is much better than Ariza's. Although his strong offensive ability gave him a label of strong offense and weak defense, Peter Pan, who is serious, only uses defense But it has deflated many All-Star shooting guards.

But his defense also depends on who he is defending. He can do it at the shooting guard level, but he can forget about the power forward level. McGrady is the tallest shooting guard in active service, but Totoro is 2 meters The height of 10 is 7 centimeters taller than Ruanmai, and 13 centimeters taller than Kobe. This is not a player in a position at all.

Chinchilla doesn't have to break through as hard as Kobe does. It just turns around and grinds into it in a sitting and hitting manner.

Before the five-second back-up time was up, Totoro squeezed in near the free throw line to see if it might be double-teamed by an inside player. The Totoro, who didn't want to divide the ball and only wanted to score, immediately leaned back and threw the ball into it. basket.

Kobe looked at the ocean and sighed, saying that he felt that he was not too short, his jump was not too low, and his wingspan was not too short, but he just couldn't cover the ball in Totoro's hands. He didn't even give himself a chance to foul, You can't just punch the other party in order to get revenge, can you?

The inside line immediately huddled together, but Totoro returned to defense without even watching the ball. This whole season has also been played. Apart from the system, Totoro's own shooting ability has also increased a lot. With Wanqiu's muscle memory, he knew he had scored the goal.

Sure enough, the basketball rolled into the hoop through a beautiful arc, and Bynum, who managed to squeeze away the little giant to get to his position, could only catch the ball from under the net.

Little Shark is called depressed. He is a pretentious player. As the 05th youngest player selected in the first round of 10, Bynum feels that his talent is the highest in the entire Lakers team, including Kobe Bryant. Inside.

Volute participated in the draft at the age of 17, but was selected by the Hornets at the 13th place in the first round. He participated in the draft at the age of 18 and was picked away at the 10th place in the first round. Doesn’t this prove that his talent is higher than that of the boss?

In recent years, Bynum's data growth is also obvious, from the dismal 1.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.48 blocks in the rookie season to last year's average of 14.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, his data is geometric multiples Growth, however, just as the Sharks were about to flex their muscles, Pau Gasol parachuted from Memphis to Los Angeles, and Bynum, who still dreamed of becoming the boss of the Lakers, suddenly changed from the second in charge to the third in charge, and even the fourth in charge , How can the little shark bear it?
This game was even better. Seeing that the first quarter was almost over, as the starting center, he didn't even touch the ball once, let alone a single shot. The Lakers gave Peter Pan all the balls. He missed the shot, and the shooting percentages of both sides at the beginning of the quarter were extremely accurate. He hasn't even caught a rebound so far. Bynum, whose life is so high, feels that he has been greatly insulted.

Bynum, like Kobe, is a strong player, so Kobe successfully squeezed out O'Neal back then. Now that the little shark wants to avenge his predecessor, the big shark, it is understandable to squeeze Kobe down. The difference between Bynum and Kobe is that, He is not a person who can train hard in order to become stronger. Compared with staying in the training ground for training in his spare time, Little Shark thinks that the bowling alley is more attractive to him. He conceited that he can handle everything with his talent, but the boss How is it possible to hand over the team to this kind of player?
Kobe publicly bombarded the team for inaction two years ago. He proposed to trade Bynum for Kidd of the Nets. The wolf is back, but the conflict between the little shark and Peter Pan has been buried. Now Bynum has not received the ball for such a long time, and he is running back and forth like an ordinary blue-collar center. The resentment in his heart is even worse. .

On the way back to the defense, Totoro keenly noticed that Bynum slammed the ball hard after he got the ball. He was cunning and immediately realized that some players on the Lakers team might be dissatisfied with the boss's crazy shots. In the round, Kobe stood at the top of the arc and stretched out his hand to signal Bynum to come out for the pick-and-roll, but the little shark stood inside and pretended to be dead or alive, which made Totoro even more certain. This kid must have an opinion.

Volute had no choice but to forcibly miss the three-point line in the end. Although the fall just now did not kill Volute, the impact was still there. At least Totoro defended and found that Kobe's breakthrough was not as effective as before. Going forward, if he keeps shooting outside, it will be even more good news for the Rockets.

The Rockets attacked, and Totoro continued to bully Kobe with being beaten. Gasol would come out to help defend without waiting for Totoro to squeeze inside. Totoro said in his heart that he was waiting for this moment.

He turned around in the opposite direction to Gasol's, and at the same time, he smuggled Kobe's jersey with his left hand. , Totoro broke through the two of them in an instant.

There is a small shark on the inside, but Totoro is not afraid of danger. He doesn't think Bynum will do his best to defend himself, so Totoro seems to ignore such a big man in the penalty area. A bow was bent in midair, and the right hand holding the ball stretched back, which was a precursor to a stunning Tomahawk dunk.

And just like the promised play, Bynum saw Totoro put on a posture, not only did not jump up to block the shot, nor did he make a foul to stop it, but tactfully stepped aside and let Totoro go for a dunk.

"boom!"

This is estimated to be another candidate for the top 10 dunks of the year. If we only talk about the tomahawk dunk, I am afraid that 8 out of [-] people in the NBA can do it. Those who can't do it are point guards. The species jumps so high, swings its arms so straight, curls up its body so hard, and dunks so hard, there aren't many players in the NBA who can make such a perfect tomahawk dunk, not to mention Totoro is In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the slam dunk completed by passing two Lakers players in a row, the gold content was even more explosive.

The Staples Arena was completely silent by this dunk. The only noise was the Rockets fans who flew all the way from Houston to mix among the Lakers fans, especially the little girl Lufa who saw her boyfriend finish the dunk. She yelled after the basket as if she had won a $100 million lottery. The Lakers fan sitting next to her said that if you were not a pretty girl, you would have carnivaled for your opponent in Staples. Don't beat until you doubt your life.

The teammates of the Rockets welcomed Totoro back like a hero. Totoro's impact is too strong. As his teammates, they have seen a lot of Totoro's amazing dunks. You can see Totoro's dunks It's like some kind of poison. Generally speaking, people will get tired of watching it too much, but members of the Rockets will sincerely admire it every time they watch it, "Damn it, it turns out that this guy can make this kind of dunk! "

"Are you a coward? Why didn't you defend just now!"

Compared with the Rockets' happy and happy, the Lakers are in a bottomless abyss. Everyone saw the move of Bynum just now. How could Kobe, who has always been competitive, bear it?
"I can't miss Yao Ming. If I make up for it, Dragon will definitely pass the ball, and they will still score."

The little shark quibbled, but this was not a reason to convince Kobe.

"Then you watch him wreak havoc in our penalty area? Watch him dunk on your head?"

"That's also the person you missed. If you didn't let Dragon break through so easily, how could he dunk?"

The more Kobe scolded, the unconvinced Bynum in his heart became more sophistry. The anger in the boss's heart is intensifying, and there are signs of uncontrollable elbows. He wants to give this softie + coward an elbow to clear his head. .

Zen Master, who was also anxious to get angry on the sidelines, immediately called a timeout again. Losing this game is a trivial matter, but if the two starting teammates fight at his home court, it will make the whole world watch the joke of the Lakers. Since the Western Conference Finals, every game between the Lakers and the Rockets has been broadcast live across the United States, and there are also broadcasts in various countries such as China, the Philippines, Canada, and Europe. Isn't this embarrassing and throw it to the other side of the Atlantic?

Zen master was very upset when he saw Bynum, and felt that the ball just now must have been deliberately waterproof, but the grandfather of KFC was also unhappy with Kobe, because it was because of his constant waves that caused Bynum to have a little emotion, but Phil What can Jackson do?You can't let them all sit on the bench, can you?If possible, he really wants to exchange these two products with Yao Ming and Totoro next door, so that the Lakers probably don't know how many dynasties have been established for a long time.

After the timeout ended, Zen Master replaced Bynum and replaced Mbenga as the center position in place of the Sharks.

But this change is of no use. Even if Bynum can't catch the ball, with his back-up ability, the Sharks can still draw part of the attention of the Rockets' inside players. A blue-collar player through and through, whether he wants to hit back or not, whether he wants to hook or not, whether he wants to make a mid-range shot or not, even his jumping ability makes it difficult for him to complete the alley-oop, even the ability to eat cakes nothing.

The Lakers are attacking, and the Rockets are all on the perimeter defense. Kobe suddenly feels that his life is even more difficult. Even if he passes the Totoro, the Rockets still have layers of defensive players waiting to greet him. Surrounded by five enemies, he is in 1V9?

But Peter Pan is Peter Pan. In difficult situations, he will not kill his fighting spirit, but will stimulate Kobe’s potential. Someone once conducted a data survey on the boss’s shooting and found that Kobe’s shooting accuracy is based on the opponent’s defense. The number of people increases proportionally, that is, if no one is defending, Kobe is likely to miss an open shot, but if there is one person defending him, Kobe's shooting percentage will increase by 5 percentage points. With two people defending him, Kobe's The shooting percentage will increase by 10 percentage points. If five people are defending him, I'm sorry, Kobe's shooting will hit every shot.

Of course, this is just an unfounded joke, but having said that, the boss really has the killer talent to hit that kind of difficult goal. Even if he misses more shots, he will make a few 1V3 and 1V4 shots from time to time. The ball is still very impressive to the fans.

No, under the defense of all the Rockets, Volute hit two unreasonable mid-range shots, a super-long-range three-pointer and a 2+1 dunk, directly in the second place with his own strength. Let the Lakers overtake the score before the end of the first quarter. He scored 19 points alone in the first quarter, and the two teams in the first quarter were 25:23. Kobe scored 19/25 of the team alone.

My Neighbor Totoro was stunned by the outburst boss. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. Originally, he was defending well by himself, but how could he defend like this with a few more helpers?Could it be that the volute really hides the SM attribute, there are not many people and it doesn't explode, and he has to be pressured by others to fight well?Is this bitch still human?Isn't it a spring?
It's just that the Rockets didn't care too much about the 2-point difference. The Lakers just feel hot with Kobe at the moment, and everyone else is still there. Adelman doesn't believe that Peter Pan can beat himself. The people on the team were put to the ground. What Jordan couldn't do back then, Kobe couldn't do it either.

"It doesn't matter, you guys did a good job in the first quarter, I'm proud of you guys, Mr. Bryant wants to score, you just let him score, he can't keep being so accurate, his performance in the first quarter is nothing more than It's just smoke from the ancestral grave. You have to maintain the defensive intensity of the first quarter. When Kobe feels cold, it's when we win the game. Boys, the opportunity is in front of you. Some of you are just entering the league. Little boy, some are veterans who have struggled for 7 or 8 years, but no matter what kind of players you are, you all have one thing in common, that is, you have never won a championship ring!"

Adelman kept giving the Chinchillas chicken soup for their souls. In the playoffs, sometimes the coach can do very little, but no matter what he can do, it is the most basic thing not to let the mentality of his players be unbalanced. , At this point, the legendary Phil Jackson seems to be doing better than Adelman.
