Chapter 168 The Battle of the Eagle and the Snake
The star of the Eagles is called the King of Eagles, just like the star of the Raptors is called the King of Dragons, and the star of the Timberwolves is called the King of Wolves.And the head of the Lakers star Kobe, has a nickname is the Black Mamba.

Eagle King Joe Johnson faced Black Mamba Kobe, and a battle between Eagles and Snakes began.

Eagles and snakes are natural enemies, and both are high-end predators, whichever one is stronger can defeat the other.There are also many such descriptions in Chinese martial arts novels. The most famous one is the Condor Snake War in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", but the winner of that battle was the Condor, and the snake was not only killed by the Condor, Even the snake gallbladder became Yang Guo's treasure to increase internal strength.

But today's battle is obviously not the result. In the NBA, there is no shooting guard who dares to say that he is better than Kobe.Joe Johnson is no exception. He is taller than Kobe, but in terms of scoring ability, Joe Johnson is inferior to Kobe.

In this game, Wu Di thought that he would be the breakthrough point to defeat the Eagles.But as soon as the game started, Kobe exploded!
He is faster than Joe Johnson, constantly breaking through Joe Johnson and hitting the Eagles inside.And Joe Johnson used his height to run and shoot from the outside, and the two even drew a tie for a while.

Kobe is fast and can easily break through Joe Johnson. You must know that the Eagle King is also an All-Star figure, and Kobe has no power to fight back today, which shows how terrible Kobe's outbreak is.

Joe Johnson also knew that Kobe was in good shape today, so he didn't dare to fight Kobe.Joe Johnson's IQ is still good to become a star with an average score of around 25 points per game.

Kobe has been in the defensive lineup for many years. Although there is some moisture in it, the moisture is not a problem with Kobe's ability, but that Kobe did not have the strength to defend for a while.Incompetence and inability to contribute are two concepts. Inability to contribute is reserved, and inability is really bad.

In other words, Kobe's defensive ability is enough to be selected as a defensive first team.Everyone knows that Kobe played after Jordan. Jordan's perimeter defense was very strong, and Kobe's perimeter defense was also developed through hard work.

When the state is normal, Kobe seldom focuses on the defensive end, but now that Kobe is in good shape, Joe Johnson will not bet that Kobe will not be serious about defense.

Careless mistakes are not uncommon in the NBA. The famous McGrady moment is such an example.McGrady's defensive ability is very strong, but since he became a master player, he has rarely paid attention to defense.But when he is in good shape, his defensive ability will also improve, and then one day, McGrady's moment was born.

Joe Johnson cautiously asked his teammates to help him block Kobe, specifically running for open shots.

The state of the other Eagles players is not bad, and Al Horford and Bynum are also inextricably playing.Gasol is not in the right state today, and Josh Smith is about the same.Wu Di's state is not bad, and he can strengthen Morris Evans.

Maurice Evans actually plays the No. 196 position. He is only [-]cm tall. He is at a disadvantage when playing the No. [-] position against Wu Di.But Kobe was in good condition today, and the Eagles didn't trust him to guard Kobe, for fear of being thrown into the trap by Kobe.

As for Wu Di, the Eagles are not very afraid, because Wu Di has not been in a good state recently. Many media are saying that Wu Di is proud of his recent achievements and does not train seriously.

Wu Di was indeed in a bad state during this period. Except for when the hand feeling was overwhelming, he only scored more than ten points in the rest of the games, which seriously lowered Wu Di's scoring average.

In the second quarter, Zen master adjusted the lineup, Wu Di took a rest, and the court immediately became a duel between Kobe and Joe Johnson.The two not only scored by themselves, but also assisted their teammates. The two sides played an offensive battle.

Kobe broke through Joe Johnson, attracted the defense, and assisted Bynum for a dunk.Joe Johnson and Josh Smith played a pick-and-roll, led Gasol away, passed back to Josh Smith, and Josh Smith scored a mid-range shot...

The fans on the sidelines enjoyed watching it very much. Although it was much worse than the All-Star Game two days ago, such a smooth offense was unprecedented.

After Kobe and Joe Johnson left the court, the Hawk-Snake War was temporarily over. From the current point of view, the two sides seem to be in a tie.Kobe had 22 points and 8 assists, and Joe Johnson had 23 points and 7 assists. Joe Johnson relied on three-pointers to score more, but both of them scored high scores in the half.

Wu Di began to lead the Lakers' bench gangsters to harvest. Pekovic, Brad Miller, and Sun Yue are all famous bench gangsters in the league. As long as Wu Di is willing to pass the ball, these three people will definitely be able to Score in double figures.Scoring in double figures is a very good thing for rotation players. You must know that Pekovic and Sun Yue are still positioned as defensive players.

The Hawks' bench lineup was weaker. Facing the Lakers' high-intensity defense, they were immediately defeated, and the score was quickly pulled away.

By the time Kobe Bryant played again in the third quarter, the Lakers already had a [-]-point lead.

After gaining the advantage, Kobe immediately switched defenses with Wu Di, and gave Joe Johnson to Wu Di's defense. He began to focus more on the offensive end.

Joe Johnson was suddenly switched and made two turnovers in a row.He didn't expect Wu Di's wingspan to be so much longer than Kobe's. Wu Di blocked two consecutive passes, and the last step pushed the Eagles into the abyss.

Kobe, who put all his attention on the offensive end, was even more terrifying, making consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line.When Joe Johnson was able to defend in time, Kobe stepped back and shot directly if he didn't defend.

The Eagles were out of luck today, not only did Marvin Williams hurt me, but Kobe Bryant was overwhelmed.In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, the point difference came to 20 points, and the Eagles could only raise their hands and surrender.

The Eagles and Snakes battle ended with a big victory for the Black Mamba. Kobe got a large double-double, 46 points and 12 assists.Eagle King Joe Johnson was restricted by Wu Di, and only scored 34 points and 8 assists. Although it is still very high, it is still not as good as Kobe.

Such a gap can be attributed to Wu Di's defense. Now Wu Di has been hailed as the Lakers' number one defensive champion, and Kobe has been compared.Moreover, Wu Di is also the first in the list of the best defensive players, with the luxurious data of 3.6 blocks and 3.2 steals, which puts Howard firmly under him.

On the 19th, the Lakers took the bus to Golden State to fight the Warriors. Wu Di returned to his normal state and helped the Lakers beat the Warriors.

On the 21st, the Lakers returned to the home court. Bynum was injured during training and needs to rest for two months. It is estimated that he can return before the playoffs.

Pekovic started on the top and immediately performed well. He sent 4 blocks in a single game, scaring the Hornets from the outside to the inside.

The rest of the Lakers also performed well, successfully completing revenge on the Hornets, and after completing the All-Star game, they won three consecutive victories.Pekovic also relieved the Lakers who lost the inside gate, at least not because no one is available inside.

When playing some tall centers, Gasol and Pekovic can also be switched defensively. There is no big problem in the past two months.

On the 23rd, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves. On the 25th, they defeated the underdog Thunder. On the 27th, they once again defeated the Suns, who were still trying new tactics, and won six consecutive victories.
