Chapter 280

In the matchup between the Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers, outside superstars Kobe Bryant and Channing started the game separately, but they both chose to attack inside.

After several rounds of actual combat, the Lakers' internal strength is still better. The main reason is that Philadelphia's power forward Ibaka is just a rookie.

The Philadelphia team made a sideline ball and tried to play the inside again. Yao Ming pushed Bynum, and Gasol hit a small hook through the supplementary defense. Looking back, Bynum mentioned a high screen and pulled Yao Ming out of the penalty area. , Gasol ran back and completed an alley-oop dunk from Ibaka's head.

About 5 minutes into the first quarter, the Lakers firmly took the initiative on the court. Although Philadelphia was only five points behind, the offense relied too much on Yao Ming's strong play, and the defense also made it too easy for the Lakers to score in the paint.

Such an offensive method was unreasonable. Yao's physical strength also declined rapidly after several one-on-two attacks. Coach Cheeks made a bold change and took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

Birdman Anderson and Ibaka partnered inside, Pietrus came on the stage, plus Channing and Lowry, Coach Cheeks made a gesture, and the offensive end will start to focus on Channing.

Phil Jackson also seized the opportunity to make a substitution, Odom replaced Bynum, and Gasol became the center.

The Philadelphia team attacked, and Kobe still defended Channing.

Channing was not in a hurry. He only took one shot in this game. Although Kobe's defense was very aggressive, Channing was very confident in himself. The reason why he didn't attack directly was because he wanted to use a more reliable attack method. .

After all, the inside line does not have an advantage, especially when Yao Ming is not on the court, rebounds are at a disadvantage, and Channing needs to handle the ball carefully.

With a wave of his hand, Ibaka and Birdman Anderson put up double screens from left to right, mobilizing Gasol and Odom.

Ibaka and Birdman Anderson are both flexible insiders, very suitable for pick-and-roll cooperation. After Yao Ming left the field, the Spanish pick-and-roll provided by these two insiders to Channing became the main offensive tactic of the Philadelphia team.

Breaking through to the right, Birdman Anderson briefly delayed Kobe for a while, but the opportunity was fleeting. Kobe is notoriously ruthless and desperate in defense. Channing needs to seize this momentary opportunity to face Odom switched defenses to complete the offense.

A big breakthrough, when Odom retreated quickly, Channing stepped on the brakes instantly, made a sudden stop jumper and hit a steady jumper, scoring the first goal of the night.

Meanwhile, Bryant has emerged behind Channing.

so close!

A little later, I'm afraid Kobe has caught up, and this pick-and-roll will be useless.

Facing the championship-level defense of the Lakers, Channing must be decisive. This is a difficult test for Channing and the immature Philadelphia team.

In the Lakers battle, Gasol once again singled out Ibaka, but this time he failed to make a hit. Birdman Anderson confronted Odom and grabbed a rebound. Channing immediately accelerated to counterattack after receiving the ball.

Kobe swooped down to steal the ball, but Channing dribbled away with a dribble behind his back. Before he could speed up, Ariza rushed over from the stab again.

With Ariza on his shoulders, Channing dribbled the ball firmly. Although Ariza could not steal the ball, Channing's speed-up and one-stop counterattack were in vain.

Fortunately, the experienced Pietrus also rushed out. Channing flicked his wrist and assisted Pietrus for a dunk.

The point difference was caught up to 1 point, the Lakers dribbled through halftime, and Kobe took the ball.

Like Channing, Kobe didn't hold the ball very much tonight. Seeing that the point difference was about to be caught up, Kobe was about to start attacking.

Waving his hand to signal to pull away, Kobe singled out Channing face-to-face. Although he was ten centimeters shorter, Kobe had a lot of aura, and this black mamba would not be afraid of anyone.

The left foot is the axis, and after a tentative step with the right foot, he suddenly exerts force, and Kobe breaks to the right.

Lightning failed to pass Channing in the first step, and Channing blocked Kobe's way with an excellent lateral move.

After a strong confrontation, Kobe took advantage of his strength to turn around in the middle, and dangled the ball with both hands.

Almost being cheated, Qian Ning tried his best to control his desire to take off and block the block, but stuck to it, opened his hands to interfere, and tipped his toes.

Seizing Channing's opportunity to move his center of gravity up, Kobe turned around again to the right, shaking Channing and hitting a jumper, widening the point difference to 3 points.

"Isn't this walking?"

Qian Ning glanced at the referee, but the referee was indifferent.

Well, Channing spread his hands. Although Kobe's movements were smooth, Channing could clearly see that Kobe had changed his pivot foot. Maybe this is the star whistle. At the Lakers' home court, these are all normal.

What's even more exasperating is that Kobe, who took advantage of it, didn't blush at all, but instead spat trash talk at Channing:

"Boy, don't call it a pick-and-roll if you have the ability, it's called a one-on-one like me."

Channing rolled his eyes. It seemed that everyone said that Kobe was careful and held grudges. It was true. In the last round, Channing used the cover of Birdman Anderson to hit Kobe, and was chased and ridiculed by this guy.

The Philadelphia team attacked, Channing held the ball at the top of the arc, waved away Ibaka and Birdman Anderson who wanted to come up for the pick-and-roll.

"Is Channing going to hit Kobe with an answer ball?"

Director Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Qian Ning is really a newborn calf. He is not timid at the Lakers' home court!"

Inside the Staples Arena, Lakers fans also sent their blessings to Channing, who was overwhelmed.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Channing suddenly gave up singles again, passed the ball to Lowry who was outside the three-point line on the wing, and then slid directly to the waist.

In an instant, everyone on the field understood what Qian Ning was thinking.

"Flanker position, post-up singles?"

Facing Kobe who is not tall enough, post-up singles is indeed a very suitable choice.

Birdman Anderson and Ibaka ran to the high post on the other side at the same time, and Pietrus moved secretly to the top of the arc, which involved the defense of other Lakers players, preventing them from coming over to double-team.

After Kobe understood Channing's intentions, he bent down immediately, with all his strength against Channing's left leg, trying to push Channing back, and then adopt a defensive approach around the front.

He was at a disadvantage due to his height, so Kobe used a lot of small moves in defense. He made a secret movement of pulling Channing's pants with his left hand, and was hit hard by the third leg in Channing's crotch, which made him restrain himself.

The referee was close at hand, but turned a blind eye to Kobe's foul.

Unlike the NBA ten years later, in 2008 NBA basketball still encouraged physical confrontation. Channing clearly remembered that Kobe and Anthony had to fight hand-to-hand inside. It was a life-and-death struggle between a black mamba and a big black bear. Life.

It's a pity that Channing is not Anthony. Kobe's fierce positioning may be effective for Anthony, but Channing is not worried at all.
