I'm really strong in basketball

2003 11 Month 16 Day.

The Lakers ushered in the 10th regular season game of the season, at home against the Miami Heat.

The Heat are currently rebuilding and have a relatively poor record, with 2 wins and 7 losses so far. In terms of strength, they cannot match the Lakers with 8 wins and 1 loss.

But even so, the Staples Center is still packed.

At a glance, Liu He saw that more and more Lakers fans were wearing the No. 25 jersey.This also shows that Liu He is becoming more and more popular in Los Angeles.

In addition to the fans of both sides, there is another person who pays special attention to this game.

Steve Kerr.

Cole's friend found that Cole was a little nervous, so he persuaded him: "Cole, you are too worried. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the last game, the entire Lakers team helped Liu He get a high score. This kind of thing will not happen again. Don't think too much, go and rest."

Cole breathed a sigh of relief.

The starting lineups of both sides of the match appeared successively on the big screen above the arena.

Hot fire team:

Fifth position: Brian Grant, fourth position: Udonis Haslem, third position: Lamar Odom, second position: Eddie Jones, first position: Dwyane Wade.

Lakers:

Position [-]: O'Neal, Position [-]: Malone, Position [-]: Liu He, Position [-]: Kobe, Position [-]: Payton.

As soon as the game started, O'Neal took the initiative.

Payton pushed upfield, immediately frowning as he saw... Kobe raised his arm for the ball again.

O'Neill's eyes suddenly became uncomfortable.

Phil also covered his forehead. It's only been a few games, and they're going to fight again?There is no way to be the head coach!

Payton sighed and gave the ball to Kobe anyway.

Bryant continued to test the steps, and suddenly accelerated to force Eddie Jones.

The 32-year-old Jones was only half a step slower, and he could no longer keep up with "Peter Pan" Kobe.

Kobe accelerated again, reached the penalty area, and attracted the defense.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree!

Because the person who broke through was called Kobe, Haslem and Grant rushed forward at the same time.

Of course, this also shows that the Heat's defense is relatively chaotic today, and they directly emptied the penalty area.This is also the malady of most big teams.

However, Kobe was not afraid at all, and took off directly against the defender, making a shooting action in the air.

Haslem and Grant took off to block the shot one after another.

Kobe stopped the action and stuffed the ball into the penalty area from the gap between the two defenders.

O'Neill caught the ball radiantly, and the whole person was stunned.

Kobe passed me the ball?

How long has this guy not been doing this.The last time Kobe passed the ball to O'Neal was... the last time.

But just for a moment, O'Neal came back to his senses and easily scored a dunk.

2: 0!

The reappearance of the long-lost "OK Connection" attracted cheers from Los Angeles fans.

This is their memory of invincibility!

When OK was working together, they once built an invincible dynasty.

Los Angeles fans realize: OK is back.

However, the Heat at this time did not know anything.

The Heat attacked, and Wade, who played the first position as a cameo, was as fast as lightning, breaking through Payton, and the Los Angeles fans exclaimed "so fast".

But in a blink of an eye, Wade was blocked by Liu He. Wade felt that he had hit a wall and staggered for a while.

Payton chased from behind and took the opportunity to steal.

The Lakers launched a fast break, and Payton found that Kobe had already rushed forward, and immediately passed the ball to Kobe, allowing Kobe to take the lead.

The Heat's pursuit was fast, Wade wanted to make up for his mistakes, Haslem was naturally desperate for an undrafted pick, and old Jones had always been a model employee...

Kobe was surrounded by the Heat in the frontcourt.

But he didn't stagnate in the slightest. A wonderful behind-the-back pass was passed to Payton on the side and rear, and Payton made an easy layup.

4: 0.

Heat attack!

Wade continued to break through with the ball. He glanced at Liu He, who was on the right back of Payton. He was more than 2 meters tall, had an excellent wingspan, and was excellent in defense and assist defense. He just suffered from this guy's loss.

So Wade chose to go left.

This guy has brains, but not many seem to be.

The left side... that's where Kobe was defending.

Soon, Wade sent the second mistake of the field under the pressure of Payton and Kobe, and Kobe directly launched a fast break after stealing.

The Heat chased and defended even more fiercely, and several people almost completely wrapped Kobe, but Kobe directly smashed the basketball on the backboard, and the basketball bounced back, just falling into Liu He's arms, and Liu He took off and dunked.

boom!

6: 0.

Beep!

Heat coach Stan Van Gundy called a timeout, and the Heat were stopped after just over a minute into the game.

The entire Staples Center was full of enthusiasm, and the fans were so excited.

Not because the team was leading, but because they saw a new and different Kobe, a Kobe who liked to pass the ball.

Although I don't know why Kobe suddenly became like this, such Kobe made the Lakers stronger. Some fans even think that the current Lakers can beat the Lakers during the three consecutive championships.

It's not just the fans who are puzzled, but the Lakers' coaching staff and players are also puzzled.

But at this moment, Kobe raised his head and looked at Liu He proudly: "Rookie, have you seen what is called a real pass? Your little tricks are not on the table at all."

刘河撇了撇嘴：“也就才3个助攻，我上一场可是10个助攻。3比10，3比10，3比10......”

Kobe said with a cold face: "Then continue to watch my next performance!"

It was only then that everyone realized that Kobe's narrow-mindedness had flared up again.

I still remember the press conference of the last game. Liu He claimed to be the second passer of the Lakers, second only to Payton in technology.

The reporter asked again if your pass is better than Kobe?Liu He replied that he didn't know, after all, I had never seen Kobe pass the ball.

Kobe was pissed, so this game frantically showed his passing ability.

Sure enough, Kobe was aggressive and cautious.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

In any case, this is a good thing for the team.

Phil Jackson was very happy. Liu He hit the right way and inspired a pass-loving Kobe. There is nothing better than this.

He looked at Liu He appreciatively.

But at this moment, Liu He also looked at Phil, and blinked mischievously.

Phil suddenly thought: Maybe it wasn't a crooked attack, but Liu He did it on purpose.This guy has figured out Kobe's character, and he can hold him.

But Liu He is only 19 years old, so he can manipulate people's hearts like this, which is too... good.

As long as Kobe doesn't do anything, this Lakers team is invincible, and he can sit comfortably on the sidelines...pretending to be aggressive.

Pause back.

The Heat are attacking, and their offensive tactics have changed. Haslem mentioned the free throw line for pick-and-roll.

Coach "Big Fat" has tactical literacy. He knows that facing a super team with both offense and defense like the Lakers, "young" Wade's personal ability is not enough to solve the problem, and he must rely on the strength of the team.

Not to mention, although Haslem is only 203cm, he is very strong, and the pick-and-roll effect is good, and he blocked Payton firmly.

Malone can only be forced to switch defense Wade.

The speed difference between these two people is too great. The old Ma Long saw a flash of lightning flashing in front of him, and then entered the restricted area. He could only lament that time had ruthlessly killed his speed.

"Tough guy" Brian Grant desperately stuck O'Neal, preventing O'Neal from making up the defense.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wade finally made a layup.

6: 2.

The Heat finally started scoring.

The Lakers' offense is still Kobe Bryant killing the inside and creating opportunities for his teammates.

However, after the timeout, the Heat have not only adjusted their offense, but their defense has also changed.

In response to Kobe's frequent attacks on the inside, the Heat shrank their defense, and a bunch of strong men gathered under the basket.

Kobe was a little caught off guard, overwhelmed by the crowd, and paid for a mistake.

This instead allowed the Heat to play a defensive counterattack and chase another 2 points.

6: 4.

The Lakers were attacking. Kobe did not rush to the basket this time, but put on an offensive to attract the defense and then suddenly made a wonderful pass to Liu He who slipped into the corner.

Liu He catches the ball and shoots it.

Swish!

9: 4.

The Heat shrunk their defensive formation, which gave Liu He an extremely comfortable space for movement and opportunities to make shots.

And Kobe is willing to give, scoring is naturally easy.

The Heat attack.

Wade relied on the pick-and-roll last time to taste the sweetness. This time, he called Haslem to continue as soon as he arrived in the frontcourt.

Once again, Wade threw off Malone, who was switching defenses, entered the penalty area, jumped up directly, and dunked his arms.

This buckle was like a thunderbolt from the ground.

boom!

9: 6.

Wade, who landed, beat his chest and roared, venting his unhappiness at the beginning.

On the other hand, Ma Long could only feel helpless in vain.

At this moment, teammate No. 25 came to Malone's side: "Carl, that kid is just a rookie, so you don't need to take action. I'll deal with him."

Ma Long was taken aback, but before he could nod his head, teammate No. 25 had already run to the frontcourt.

None of these bastard rookies know what it means to respect seniors?

Ma Long muttered in his mouth, but a smile appeared on his face.

On the Heat's bench, the "big fat" coach smiled, saying that the Lakers are strong, but I don't think so.I made some adjustments, and that didn't bring the situation back.

The "big fat" coach has his hands in his pockets, and he doesn't know what an opponent is!

The game continued, the Lakers attacked, and Kobe first observed the opponent's defensive formation.

The Heat still adopt a shrinking defensive formation, obviously they are more afraid of Kobe's breakthrough than the Lakers' long shot.

This made Kobe feel a little proud, but then he despised himself.Is it worth being happy to win against a rookie and weakling like Liu He?

With the help of Payton's cover, Liu He easily ran out of the open space.

Kobe's pass is also very timely, the ball arrives.

Liu He pulled up and voted.

Swish!

12: 6.

So far, Liu He scored 8 points in a row and made 3 of 3 shots, including two perfect three-pointers.

The "big fat" coach changed from confident to hesitant in an instant: should we continue to shrink the defensive formation?Will that Chinese rookie...

Will not!

I don't believe that if the "OK combination" is anti-dead, a rookie can go against the sky.

"Big Fatty" coach intends to continue to let Liu He go, not because he looks down on Liu He, but because he chooses to let go of the No.1 active player in the league, the second best player in the United States, and this year's rookie. 99% of people will make such a choice.

If you have the ability, you vote for me!

Then I also admit it.

The Heat attack.

Wade continued to call the pick-and-roll, and Haslem continued to show high-quality blocking, blocking Payton firmly.

But when Wade shook off Payton, he was dumbfounded.

Standing in front of him is no longer the welfare gift package... the 41-year-old Ma Long, but Liu He, his NCAA sufferer.

"Yo, hello, rookie Dwyane."

It turned out that when Haslem was going to the free throw line, Malone and Liu He switched defenses.

At this moment, Liu He deliberately let Wade take a big step.

At this distance, no matter how fast Wade is, Liu He still has a time lag to react and cut off Wade's breakthrough route.

As for the mid-range shot...Liu He knows Wade too well. This guy's mid-range shot is not as sure as O'Neal's free throw, and it is far worse.

Wade frowned, but he still chose to continue to break through to the basket.

His speed was indeed fast, but Liu He, who left space, blocked Wade's breakthrough route accurately and in time.

Snapped!

The two collided, and Liu He immediately relied on his absolute tonnage advantage to give a physical confrontation and oppress Wade.

Just at this moment, Peyton also wrapped up from the side, attacking from both sides.

In a panic, Wade jumped up and passed the ball in the air.

But the intention of passing the ball was too obvious, and it was directly intercepted by Malone.

The Lakers have another wave of fast breaks and another victory.

14: 6.

In less than half a quarter, Wade has sent three turnovers.But this guy is really tough, and he dares to continue to kill.

Liu He continued to switch on Wade when Wade and Haslem cooperated in the pick-and-roll, and then relied on physical confrontation to delay Wade's speed.

However, Wade still showed amazing talent, squeezed past Liu He abruptly, and hit the basket.

But at this moment, a giant stood in front of Wade... "Shark" O'Neill!

Although Liu He failed to block Wade, Wade was quite embarrassed by physical confrontation, and his speed was not thorough enough, which gave O'Neal enough time to defend.

Snapped!

O'Neal jumped high, waving two giant hands in the air, and directly confiscated Wade's shot.

After landing, O'Neal dribbled the ball to the front court by himself, and then stuffed a ground pass into the basket.

Kobe, who made an air cut in place, caught the ball and took off directly, dunking with both hands.

boom!

16: 6.

It was "OK Connection" again, but this time it was O'Neal's connection, and Kobe ended it.

I have to feel O'Neal's talent, a big guy with 216cm and more than 150kg can organize fast breaks and play like a point guard.Good talent and solid basic skills.

Of course, this also shows the poor defense of the Heat from the side.

Beep!

"Big Fat" Stan Van Gundy called a timeout a second time.

Ran and egg.

This timeout failed to change the situation on the field.After the timeout, the Lakers are still crushing and continue to expand the point difference.

At the end of the first quarter, 31:14, the Lakers have led by 17 points.

Kobe had 2 points, 6 assists and 2 steals

O'Neal had 6 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

Coach "Big Fatty"'s shrinking defensive formation made Liu He feel like a fish in water. He made 6 of 6 shots in the first quarter and scored a game-high 14 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal. He alone rivaled the Heat's scoring.

Wade scored 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers.

Just looking at the data, who can believe that Liu He is the No. 25 rookie and Wade is the No. 5 pick?

Los Angeles fans shouted: Liu He is a gift from God to the Lakers. Kupchak finally did the right thing, that is, traded Liu He.

Only Kupchak said: Thank you Joe Dumars.

Back then, in the notorious Pistons Bad Boys, Joe was known as the only good guy.

Today, among the league's 29 scheming general managers, Kupchak calls Joe a good guy too.

Kupchak couldn't wait to call Joe.
