The rise of basketball legends

"Kobe and Chen will definitely compete against each other, so we must prepare first and control the penalty scale. The intensity of this game will be very high."

Before the game started, the game referee Joey Crawford pulled the baseline referee and sideline referee to his side to explain.

What Joey Crawford meant was also what David Stern meant. The old man of the president knew that there would be sparks flying between the two on the court, so he specifically told Joey Crawford to pay attention to the penalty scale and not to ruin it. This Christmas battle that everyone pays attention to.

The game officially started after the players from both sides greeted each other briefly.

Garnett won the jump ball, and the ball just fell into Kobe's hands. Kobe took a step and handed it to Fisher.

After halftime, Fisher played a pick-and-roll with Camby and broke through to the left. Camby didn't go down after the roll, and stood directly outside the free throw line. Nate went to storm.

However, Garnett was entangled by Dior's half-circle and couldn't catch the ball for a while. Fisher blew the ball and turned around to quickly pass the ball to the high position Camby.

Camby hesitated for a moment, seeing that Stoudemire didn't rush forward, he raised his hand and made a two-point shot.

Camby's shot is a bit weird, it looks like a crooked machine gun, it is obviously a normal right-handed shot, he insists on putting the ball on the left, in order not to block the line of sight, his elbow has to be raised into the sky , looks very awkward.

I don’t know if it’s because Camby’s shooting coach when he was a child didn’t teach him the basic basketball theory of three 90 degrees, but it’s more likely that he missed the class when he was a child.

"Shh!"

2:0.

Although the posture is unsightly, Camby has a certain mid-range shooting ability, which belongs to the kind that you dare to shoot if you dare to let him go.

The Suns attacked, and Stoudemire made two consecutive attempts with the ball in a high position. After the confrontation, the master made a layup and hit the rebound, and Camby was returned.

2:2.

Camby is a well-known ribbed center. He has poor confrontation ability, but he has excellent size and wingspan, and has amazing jumping. His supplementary defense and defense ability are very strong. He likes to put outside players into the penalty area and block them. He He can't guard big men like Dayao with strong post-back ability, but Stoudemire's face-up offensive inside line is his favorite.

The ball was very difficult, and Stoudemire won the applause of the fans after he scored, and the Suns bench also gave a standing ovation.

The first attack of both sides went smoothly. After seeing these two goals, the fans thought it was a scoring battle, but no one thought that this was the only sports goal scored by both sides in the opening 3 minutes.

Afterwards, Camby tried two mid-range shots with good chances, but the results all ended in blacksmithing. This made Camby feel very embarrassed. Those who didn't know thought that his first shot was just fooled.

The Suns feel terrible tonight and can't pick up the rhythm, but fortunately the Lakers are also in an outrageous state.

In the first quarter, the two sides played an ultra-low score of 21 to 20. If the team name is covered and the score is read, the fans will think that the Spurs and Pistons are playing a Christmas game.

陈炎单节5中2拿到7分，科比6中1连投带罚拿到5分。

Both of them are not in the state. During the first quarter, the camera kept showing Taylor in the audience. Many fans also have their own interpretation of the directing operation. They judged that Chen Yan was not in a good state based on their intuition and experience as a man. More or less has something to do with mildew.

Vanessa didn't come to watch the away game, otherwise the director would probably give her a few close-ups.

Ariza and Raja Bell are the only happy players of the two teams. Ariza thinks that Chen Yan missed the shot because his defensive pressure is too strong, while Raja Bell thinks that he can lock it without the dragon claw Kobe Bryant...

The greatest pride of the defensive vanguard is to see the opposing players feel cold and unable to score points. This is happier than them scoring high points.

The Christmas battle has become a blacksmithing battle, and the excitement is not the same as the fans expected.

Barkley even joked: "The players of the Lakers and Suns have magic. They turned Christmas into Blacksmith's Day."

The fans didn't expect that this game would become so dull. The only thing they expect now is that the players on both sides will feel better in the next time, especially Chen Yan and Kobe.

In the second quarter, the two sides faced off as substitutes. The bench players on both sides had slightly higher shooting percentages than the starting players, but not much higher. After a few minutes, the main force returned. The short rest did not make their hands feel hot.

Kobe continued to use jump shots on both sides to find his touch, while Chen Yan changed his combat strategy and used the impact to cause damage inside.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Kobe continued to work on the basket in the American West Arena, his head was more than a little stronger than Chen Yan, otherwise he would not have said that even if he missed 20 shots, he would take the 21st shot.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson also acquiesced in Kobe's use of his shots to find touch.

It seems more sensible for Chen Yan to break through the basket and create damage, but the effect is not much better. Garnett and Camby are both top rim protectors in the league, and there is a defensive giant Ariza next to him. It is very difficult to add up the speed to break through their defense line in a positional battle.

The inaccurate shooting caused the Lakers to shrink the defensive line very far. Their big men just had to sit back and wait for Chen Yan, which further increased the difficulty of the Suns' game.

In the second quarter, the efficiency of both sides was still not high. D'Antoni simply waved his hand and replaced Jordan and Barnes.

But even with the rebounds of Jordan and Barnes, the Suns still couldn't grab Garnett + Camby.

Garnett and Camby are the two most rebounding players in the league. Garnett won the league's rebounding title for four seasons from 03-07, and Camby's rebounding numbers are also ranked among the top ten in the league all year round.

Not to mention these two people, even if Stoudemire is added, he can't beat the Lakers' inside combination. Stoudemire has never averaged more than 10 rebounds per game in his career.

If the Suns have been slamming rebounds and attacking twice, they can admit defeat in advance, which is equivalent to using their own weaknesses to touch the strengths of others.

The Suns only scored 19 points in this quarter, and the Lakers only scored 24 points. The two sides fought to 45-40.

During the intermission, D'Antoni changed his tactics. He believed that the Suns played too tightly tonight, and it would be a slow death if they played like this. It is better to let go of the defense and let the Lakers take more shots to win more rounds.

D'Antoni admitted that his strategy was a bit of a gamble, but he was right. The Lakers still showed no signs of recovery in the second half. The first three attacks were all irons, and the Suns took the opportunity to hit two of the three counterattacks.

The most exciting of these is Chen Yan's one-stop European step kickback after grabbing the backcourt rebound!

Seeing this goal, the exhausted home fans suddenly became energetic!

This is the scene they want to see when they buy tickets to the scene!

Chen Yan also kept roaring at the auditorium, responding to the cheers of the fans.

Chen Yan's dunk had a refreshing effect, and the home fans chanted "defense" in the next defensive round.

This strategy is a bit desperate. If the Lakers happen to find their offensive touch in the second half, they may take the Suns away in a wave.

Kobe was also stimulated by Chen Yan's wonderful goal, and he wanted to play singles against the noise all over the sky.

Raja Bell used a conventional defensive posture to stand behind Kobe. Kobe's efficiency tonight convinced him that he could defend the ball.

Kobe held the ball with three threats. After two consecutive false shots, he suddenly moved the ball to the right. Raja Bell stuck in front of Kobe. Kobe took a step with his right hand and then stopped the ball at the free throw line. , Fisher ran to the flank to respond, but Kobe didn't mean to pass the ball.

Kobe turned around in the opposite direction, using his left foot as the axis.

Mamba moves?

No, Bryant slams the ball to the backboard as soon as he turns around, and then quickly cuts in.

Garnett blocked Stoudemire behind him very tacitly, no one was defending, and Kobe flew freely!

"bang!"

Kobe completed the self-throw and self-dunk without interference!

Raja Bell didn't react at all, and stood still watching Kobe's performance.

The Lakers bench threw up the towel, and Kobe glared at Chen Yan. This self-throwing and self-deduction was a response to Chen Yan's European step kickback just now.

Chen Yan was not to be outdone, Nash waved his little hand asking for the ball countless times before halftime.

The fans were excited, and the game suddenly became interesting!
