NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 345 small role light

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe worked for 11 minutes, showing his desire to win at a glance. Facts have proved that his choice was right, and the Blazers are more powerful than the Lakers imagined.

Kobe Bryant scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter. He successfully overwhelmed all the Blazers' perimeter defenders in an all-round way. He also showed the fans of the Rose Garden a textbook-style singles.

What is an offensive kaleidoscope?

That's it!

Led the Lakers 28:22 by himself, temporarily leading by 6 points.

However, Bryant did not take it lightly. He has already treated this game as a playoff and asked other Lakers players to maintain the same attitude as himself.

The reason why the Lakers can temporarily lead, in addition to Kobe's own superb performance, is that the Blazers have a poor feel.

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers made only 8 of 22 shots, while the opposing team made 11 of 25 shots. The former has an overall hit rate of 36%, while the latter is 44%, a full 8 percentage points higher.

Luckily, the Blazers adjusted very quickly.

Just 4 minutes into the second quarter, the Blazers have already made rounds of fierce counterattacks. Before the Lakers can recover, the score on the field has become 32:31...

"It's crazy! There is an endless stream of fast breaks like a tide!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

"It also shows how bad the Lakers defense is right now."

Zhang Lili just shook his head, he was no longer optimistic that the Lakers could win.

No wonder the media concluded before the game: "The Lakers want to win tonight, Kobe Bryant must score 50 points, otherwise there will be absolutely no game!"

It now appears that this is true.

Because the only strength of the Lakers, really can only point to Kobe.

"Kobe, get ready to play. Paul has to rest for a while, and then it's up to you."

D'Antoni waved his hand helplessly, called a timeout, and let the Lakers play again on the 24th.

The Lakers casually said on the 24th, picked up the tactical board, and called the teammates who were going to play next to him.

D'Antoni squeezed for a long time but didn't squeeze in. He could only rub his hands awkwardly, neither standing nor sitting.

One thing to say, his position in the Lakers team is really embarrassing.

Counting down the entire vocational education career, from the former 7-second whirlwind of the sun to the magic ball theory in the Houston era in the future, if you want D’Antoni to play basketball well, you can’t do without a reliable No. 1 position, or the playmaker. ...because he would do it.

As long as the No. 1 position is reliable enough, he has the ability to turn corruption into magic; but if there is no strong No. 1 position, he will only be left with corruption.

Last season, with the card of Tianhu at the beginning, he couldn't even enter the playoffs in the end, making the famous tactician of the league become the laughing stock of everyone overnight.

In particular, the arrogant Angel City fans have been shouting for a new coach from the beginning of the season. Later, due to the good start of the game, this voice gradually subsided.

And since Nash confirmed the season reimbursement, D'Antoni seems to have returned to a state where he can't play. Some media have photographed that the Lakers have reached a critical moment in recent games, and the coach's tactical board is basically in the hands of the Lakers No. 24...

It can be seen that D'Antoni's authority in the Lakers has been low to a certain extent.

On the Blazers side, when Mo Williams came, Terry Stotts praised: "Well done, Williams! You come down and rest for a while, the team still needs you in the second half."

In these 4 minutes, the Blazers played a shock wave of 10:3, of which Mo Williams contributed 5 points and 1 assist, which is not a big credit.

"I see, coach."

Mo Williams nodded excitedly, and when he sat down, he did not forget to glance at the number 3 next to him provocatively, and seemed to say: Look, I am the sixth man in the team, your kid wants to usurp power, Still early!

Beverley, wearing the No. 3 jersey, ignored Mo Williams' gaze and always focused on the team's tactical board.

"It's boring!"

Mo Williams whispered, picked up the Gatorade and poured it in. What he didn't realize was that the Blazer No. 3's fist was always clenched. In fact, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Yes, it is a lie to say that there is no loss, but who made Mo Williams play well in these two games.

In the last game against the Jazz, he made 6 of 9 shots and 3 of 4 three-pointers. He scored the fourth-highest 15 points of the Blazers team as a substitute, and the efficiency value was the first in the team.

Fortunately, Beverly is not ordinary.

Having been able to play all the way from the G League to the present, if he hadn’t been traded to Portland midway through this season, he would have already become a mosaic, a solid starting No. 1 position.

This "mad dog" has long been accustomed to waiting. He knows that he is more suitable for the Blazers than Mo Williams, and it will be a matter of time before he takes the lead.

"Buzz!"

An electronic buzzer sounds and the game resumes.

The Blazers changed to a full lineup, and the Lakers changed to a half-main and half-reserve lineup.

As far as Wang Zelin and the others are concerned, to be precise, the Lakers' current lineup consists of one main force and four backups, and they have to settle for only one: to defend against Kobe Bryant.

It was the Lakers who attacked before this round. Kobe received basketball from the outside. He had a strong desire to score in this game. After all, he played too fast in the first quarter.

The only concern for Lakers fans now is whether Kobe will cool down after sitting on the bench for a few minutes, and that would be too bad...

Well, it turns out they think too much.

Kobe Bryant played Aldridge in a dislocation after the pick-and-roll, obviously looking at the unpleasant speed, but still passed the opponent with a strange rhythm, breaking through and scoring easily.

"Kobe's first shot in the second quarter... Oh, breakthrough! Made a layup! The Lakers overtook..."

After receiving the ball on the 24th, the decibel of Zhang's reasonable commentary sound on the field began to increase consciously. When the goal was scored on the 24th, the decibel was instantly full, which shocked Yu Jia next to him.

Yu Jia: "..."

Pay attention to your face!

When retreating, Kobe blinked at Wang Zelin behind him.

The latter's eyes narrowed slightly: The Lakers' temporary lead has to pay a price!

"Come with me and crush them!"

In the Lakers half court, Wang Zelin took a good position under the basket and roared at everyone present.

"Crush them!"

The next moment, tens of thousands of home fans in the entire rose garden drank in unison.

"Has this guy's influence in Portland reached this level?" Bryant sighed again in his heart. By the way, his desire to defeat the Blazers became stronger.

This is Batum's sudden counter-run on the right wing and went beyond the three-point line.

Lillard's eyes and hands are quick, and he points the ball out.

Batum took off immediately after receiving the ball and made a three-pointer.

With a sound of "Duang~", the basketball smashed into the basket.

Then rebounded, Wang Zelin moved to the reasonable collision zone first, came to the left side of the semi-circle, grabbed the rebound, and took off twice to fill the ball into the basket.

At 34:33, the Blazers overtook one point.

When Pau Gasol is not on the court, the Lakers' already weak interior strength is greatly reduced, and the rebounding protection ability is several grades worse than the Blazers.

"Kobe, you'd better let Paul come out. It's not a good thing to just avoid."

When turning around and passing Kobe, Wang Zelin lowered his head and said something.

"You don't need Paul to beat you, I'm enough alone."

Kobe is not someone who repays grievances with virtue, so he replied instantly.

"Ha ha!"

Wang Zelin smiled lightly, noncommittal.

Lakers attack.

This time, Kobe didn't catch the ball immediately, but turned back and ran through the bottom line first, and got a short-term vacancy.

"Hurry up! Give it to Kobe!"

Zhang Lili now seems to be more anxious than the Lakers who are playing on the court.

Yu Jia doesn't want to say anything anymore, just let it play!

However, Bryant's long-awaited pass did not appear, the ball?

Oh, and it's still in the hands of the Lakers wearing the No. 0 jersey at the moment.

Wait, what is he going to do?

I saw Lakers No. 0 approaching a step forward, suddenly stopped the ball outside the three-point line, and defended against Batum's face, so he shot.

Did he... just do it?

At this moment, not only Zhang Lili and Yu Jia in the commentary booth were stunned, but the audience in the stands and the players on the field were also stunned.

Water Ayudu should?

Kobe spread his hands and looked over with a puzzled look.

Immediately after ~ "Shhh!"

A crisp sound of piercing the net sounded, and the scene that had been silent for several seconds suddenly exploded, and the exclamation of the mountain and tsunami resounded throughout the arena, almost toppling the dome.

Across the ocean.

In the sports section of Hunting Fox Live, a series of telegrams sounded.

"Fuck! Who is this 13? How can he score such a magic ball!"

"It's outrageous! This is the first time I've seen a guy who doesn't pass the ball to Kobe."

"Hahaha, pay attention to the playback, look at Kobe's eyes, sure enough, the eyes that want to kill someone can't be hidden..."

"Brothers upstairs, I remembered, this 13 seems to be called Nick or something, by the way, Nick Young!"

The response from the other side of the ocean was so enthusiastic, not to mention the audience watching the game in the Rose Garden.

"I buy it!"

"What did I see!? Someone can slap Nicholas's defense, and my guy is not Kobe?"

"Although it is an opponent, I have to boast that the appearance of No. 0 refusing to pass the ball to Kobe is really cool!"

The decibel of the sound in the stands soared violently.

inside the field.

"My Nima! Yang Shaoxia?"

Just looking at the person who made the ball into the fairy ball, Wang Zelin couldn't help but let out a foul language.

As expected of you, Yang Shaoxia!

Only this guy dared to refuse Kobe Bryant's hands.

"Cough, Zhang Gui, what do you say about this ball?"

Yu Jia smiled and looked at Zhang Lili, who was hesitant to speak, and asked.

"Well, cough, what is that?" Zhang Lili coughed in embarrassed tactics. "Although this goal was scored, it is not a reasonable choice. No one will just head over it..."

"Yes, yes, only giving the ball to Kobe is the most reasonable choice."

Yu Jia responded very perfunctorily.

Trail Blazers attack.

In the frontcourt, Lillard used the pick-and-roll to easily get to the basket and make a layup.

He felt like crossing the Lakers' defense was like crossing the road, it was so easy!

The score was tied at 36.

next round.

Jordan Farmar quickly pushed through the half, and at this time, Nick Young pulled close to the bottom corner of the left wing.

Jordan Farmar faces Nick Young and feels like he's about to pass the ball. Batum, I immediately sped up and rushed towards Nick Young, trying to steal.

However, Jordan Farmar didn't make the ball, turned his head and threw the ball to the right, and the basketball flew straight to the other side at a 45-degree angle.

Kobe just appeared there, caught the basketball, and made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The Lakers made another three-pointer.

39:36.

beep~

Terry Stotts called a timeout.

Two consecutive three-pointers gave the Lakers momentum, which he would never allow.

"Patrick, come on!"

After Wang Zelin and others came back, he immediately made a substitution adjustment and switched to Beverley to play No. 2.

"Yes, coach!"

Beverly replied excitedly.

His long-awaited opportunity is here!

"Coach Terry redeployed the floor, Beverley came on, eh wait, he's playing the 2!"

After seeing the Blazers' substitution arrangement, Yu Jia's eyes widened.

Coming to Portland, showing his excellent defensive ability, Beverley began to attract the attention of some Chinese fans, and got the nickname as in the original history - "Mad Dog Beverley."

The term "mad dog" is used to describe his clingy defense like a mad dog.

For the first time, even the fans in the stands widened their eyes and said, "I'm not Sister Li!"

But they quickly remembered that the last time Coach Terry asked Beverley to guard Durant, who was more than two meters tall, they looked like this...

But no matter what, they still feel awkward, and it will take a long time to get used to it.

Lakers bench.

"Is it finally time for you to play?"

Although Kobe was motionless in his seat, there were already hot eyes in his eyes.

On December 5th, when the Blazers played against the Thunder at home, the public opinion support from NBA officials and major media was not too big, and it was basically known to the whole rice.

Wang Zelin's buzzer-beating lore made headlines in major newspapers and magazines, followed by the specific performances of other Blazers players that night.

There are quite a few sections in it, introducing the strange players who had a period of confrontation with Durant that night.

Yes, in the eyes of the outside world, isn't it weird to let Beverley, who is in his early 1.8 meters, guard Durant, who is about 2.1 meters long?

However, Durant also gave Beverley a high evaluation in the post-game interview ~www.mtlnovel.com~.

The praise from the league's scoring champion made Beverley a little popular and let him enter the eyes of more people.

Among these people, Kobe Bryant is naturally indispensable.

Before opening the Trail Blazers, Bryant deliberately spent some time researching Beverley, during which he also called Durant.

However, in this private exchange, Durant was not as generous as he was in the interview, and kept repeating one sentence: "That guy is disgusting! I hate him!"

It can make a historical scorer of Durant's level feel sick, and the success has further stimulated Kobe's curiosity about Beverley.

The league has never lacked small roles that occasionally shine, but those are more on the offensive end, such as Nick Young who scored the magic ball just now... but there are very few role players who shine on the defensive end.

Therefore, Kobe is still looking forward to Beverley's defense. He wants to know how bright the small role will be.
