Junior Basketball says

Chapter 251 This is the Mamba

Although the Timberwolves took the lead in the score, Xu Hao was still a little uneasy because Kobe was too quiet in the first half, not like him in a normal state at all.Throughout the first half, he only took 10 shots and hit 4 goals, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. This is obviously not his true strength. Does he want to paddle the whole game?

If it's other players, it's not abnormal to paddle all over the court, but Xu Hao believes that Kobe can't do it.For him, victory is always the first priority. For this reason, he can endure the pain of pain, will be strict with his teammates, and try his best to find every good opportunity to win.It can be said that he is the least likely to play soy sauce in the league.

That being the case, why did Kobe stop playing in the first half?Is it to create more scoring opportunities for teammates?It doesn't make sense for a player who doesn't like passing the ball so much.In Xu Hao's view, the only explanation is that Kobe will vent all his energy in the second half. He is now a volcano that may erupt at any time.

While Xu Hao was secretly worried about the situation in the second half, a dialogue between two people was going on in the Lakers locker room.Zen master told others to hurry up to recover their strength, while he pulled Kobe aside and asked in a low voice, "What the hell were you doing in the first half? It stands to reason that you should keep shooting and scoring. Our rebounds are guaranteed. "

A smile appeared on Kobe's face: "Coach, since you put Andrew, Paul and Lamar at the same time, it is to open the situation from the inside. At this time, I just need to be a good shooter of the catch and shoot. You see Isn't my physical fitness well maintained now? I feel that the energy in my body is enough to allow me to play the entire second half."

The Zen master stared at him speechlessly, and said angrily: "You'd better not continue paddling on the field in the second half. If we lose to the Timberwolves in this game, we will lose all face. Having said that, you should know How do you do it?"

Kobe didn't answer, just waved his hand casually, indicating that he already knew what he was going to do next.In fact, this is also his favorite thing to do, which is to break through the opponent's defense in various ways and send the ball into the basket.

The intermission time ended soon, and the Lakers fans who had rested for a while began to get excited again. They sang loudly to cheer for the home team, and booed the visiting team that temporarily took the lead.

Before going on the court, Xu Hao deliberately took a few steps down, patted Ellington on the shoulder, and whispered: "Wayne, you have to be careful, Kobe will definitely explode his scoring ability later, it depends on whether he can be restrained." Your performance..."

Ellington laughed loudly and said, "Are you too worried about him? I admit that Kobe is very good, but his performance in the first half was sluggish. It can be seen that he is not in a good state today. Don't you think that Will he find his rhythm in the second half?"

Xu Hao couldn't convince Ellington, so he could only let him go.When the two sides were about to appear on the stage, Xu Hao's inner anxiety became more intense. He couldn't help but look at Kobe who was not far away. There is something hidden in it, maybe the raging fighting spirit and desire for victory at that time.

Soon Xu Hao's worries became reality, and Ellington was blown away before he was ready.Kobe could ask for anything in front of him, such as fadeaway shots, pull-up jumpers, pull-up layups after breakthroughs, dunks... Xu Hao felt that Kobe was as relaxed and freehand as he was on the training ground, and Ai Ling, who was in charge of defending him, Dayton is a background board.

Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers completed the overtake in an instant and firmly grasped the lead.McHale had to call a timeout. He needed to make targeted arrangements for this, and at the same time interrupt Kobe's rhythm.

In fact, McHale didn't have any new solutions. All he could do was to make Xu Hao pay attention to the defense and team up with Ellington to double-team Kobe.In McHale's view, the combination of these two generals should be able to minimize Kobe's influence.

But this time he made a mistake. The backcourt combination of Xu Hao and Ellington had worked hard to stop Kobe, but the latter could always hit shots in unimaginable ways.Even if the shots are missed occasionally, Odom, Gasol and Bynum inside can guarantee the rebounds to the greatest extent. After winning the ball, they can re-hand the ball to Kobe for him to attack with the ball.

After the timeout ended, Kobe scored 6 points in a row. In the first 5 minutes of the second half, he was on full fire. Xu Hao could only smile wryly at this situation.It seems that he guessed right, Kobe was conserving his strength in the first half, whether active or passive, he now has enough energy to support the Lakers' offensive firepower.

Throughout the third quarter, Kobe scored 20 points efficiently, raising his score to more than 30 points in one fell swoop, and there was still the last quarter left for him.Judging from the importance of this game, as long as he is willing, he will definitely be able to play the last quarter. Even if Zen Master creates enough rest time for him, he will not sit obediently on the bench and wait for the call.

It can be said that Kobe killed the Timberwolves by himself, at least in this quarter, the score of the two sides has become 79 to 70, and the Lakers have achieved a 9-point lead. This score also made everyone who came to the scene to watch The Los Angeles fans of the ball were ecstatic, and they waved all kinds of support cards to express their respect and love for Kobe.

In the last quarter, Kobe still didn't hold back his hands. His state tonight was so good that he exploded, no matter how he shot, the double-teaming in front of him was no different from an open spot.McHale didn't have the guts to double-team with three people. If three people double-teamed, the interior would be empty. As long as Kobe found a passing route, wouldn't it be easy for the Lakers to score?

Under such circumstances, he could only watch Kobe continue to make shots.In the last quarter, Kobe scored another 12 points, scoring 44 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. The Lakers also defeated the Timberwolves by 11 points and won the game. So far, the entire Timberwolves team can only pack up and go home.

When the final whistle sounded, many Timberwolves players cried bitterly. They had expected this result a long time ago, but they were still heartbroken until it actually happened.Xu Hao was one of the few players who didn't cry. He just stood quietly on the sidelines and watched the Lakers players celebrate the victory in the other half without any expression on his face.
