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

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe played for 11 minutes, showing his desire to win. Facts have proved that his choice is correct, and the Blazers are stronger than the Lakers imagined.

Kobe scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter, successfully overwhelmed all the Trail Blazers' outside defenders in all directions, and also showed the Rose Garden fans a textbook singles.

What is offensive kaleidoscope?

That's it!

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

But Kobe did not take it lightly. He has already regarded this game as a playoff game and asked other Lakers players to maintain the same attitude as him.

The reason why the Lakers can take the lead temporarily is that apart from Kobe's own superb performance, the bigger reason is that the Trail Blazers themselves don't feel good.

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

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers adjusted very quickly.

Just 4 minutes into the second quarter, the Blazers had launched round after round of fierce counterattacks. Before the Lakers came back to their senses, the score on the court had become 32:31...

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

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

Zhang Lili just shook his head, no longer optimistic about the Lakers winning in his heart.

No wonder some media concluded before the game: "If the Lakers want to win tonight, Kobe must score at least 50 points, otherwise there is absolutely no chance!"

It now appears that this statement is not false.

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 wear No. 24 to play again.

The Lakers No. 24 made a perfunctory sound, 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 in embarrassment, neither standing nor sitting.

There is one thing to say, his current position in the Lakers is really embarrassing.

Counting the entire professional career, from the 7-second whirlwind of the Suns to the magic ball theory in Houston in the future, if D’Antoni wants to play basketball well, he can’t do without a reliable No. 1 position, or the core of the organization ...because he knows how to do it.

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

Last season, with the card of Tianhu at the beginning, he couldn't even make it to the playoffs in the end, making this well-known tactician in the league overnight everyone's laughing stock.

Especially the proud Angel City fans, who have been clamoring for the management of the team to be replaced by a new coach since the beginning of the season. Later, due to the good record at the start of the game, this voice gradually died down.

And since Nash confirmed his reimbursement for the season, D'Antoni seems to have returned to the state of not being able to 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 No. 24 of the Lakers...

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

On the Trail Blazers side, as soon as Mo Williams came over, Terry Stotts praised: "Good job, Williams! You go down and rest for a while, the team needs you in the second half."

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

"I see, coach."

Mo Williams nodded excitedly, and when he sat down, he still took a provocative look at No. 3 beside him, and seemed to say: "Look, I'm the sixth man in the team. You kid wants to seek power and usurp the throne. Still early!

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

"No fun!"

Mo Williams whispered 1313, picked up Gatorade and drank it. What he didn't realize was that Blazer No. 3's fist was always clenched. In fact, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

That's right, it would be a lie to say that there is no loss in my heart, but who made Mo Williams play these two games really well.

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

Fortunately, Beverly is not an ordinary person.

Being able to play all the way from the Development League to the present, if he hadn't been traded to Portland in the middle of this season, he might have already become a mosaic, the real starting number one.

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

"Buzz!"

The electronic buzzer sounds and the game restarts.

The Blazers replaced the full main lineup, and the Lakers replaced the half-main and half-substitute lineup.

As far as Wang Zelin and the others are concerned, to be precise, the current lineup of the Lakers is one main player and four substitutes. There is only one conclusion for them to settle: defend Kobe to death.

Before this round, the Lakers were attacking. Kobe received the 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 thing Lakers fans worry about now is whether Kobe will feel cold after sitting on the bench for a few minutes. If that is the case, it will be too bad...

Well, it turns out they were overthinking it.

Kobe played Aldridge in a misplaced position after the pick-and-roll. He obviously looked at the unpleasant speed, but he still passed his opponent with a weird rhythm and broke through to score easily.

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

After No. 24 received the ball on the field, the decibel of Zhang Reasonable's commentary outside the field began to increase consciously. When No. 24 scored the goal, the decibel was instantly full, and Yu Jia who was next to him was shocked.

Yu Jia: "..."

Pay attention to your face!

When retreating, Kobe blinked at Wang Zelin behind him.

The latter narrowed his eyes slightly: The Lakers' temporary lead needs to pay a price!

"Come with me and crush them!"

At the Lakers halftime, Wang Zelin settled down 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 out in unison.

"Has this guy's influence in Portland reached this level?" Kobe was deeply moved again, and by the way, his desire to beat the Blazers became stronger.

This is Batum's sudden reverse run on the right wing, beyond the three-point line.

Lillard has quick eyes and quick hands, and divided the ball.

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

With a sound of "Duang~", the basketball hit 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 the second take-off to fill the ball into the basket.

At 34:33, the Blazers went ahead by one point.

When Pau Gasol is not on the court, the Lakers' already weak inside strength is greatly reduced, and their rebound protection ability is several levels worse than the Blazers.

"Kobe, let Paul come out quickly, it's not a good thing to blindly avoid."

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

"You don't need Paul to defeat you, I alone is enough."

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

"hehe!"

Wang Zelin smiled lightly, noncommittal.

The Lakers attack.

This time, Kobe didn't catch the ball immediately, but ran back through the baseline first, and got a short open space.

"Come on! Pass it to Kobe!"

Zhang Lili now looks more anxious than the Lakers playing on the court.

Yu Jia didn't want to say anything anymore, let him do his best!

However, the pass that Kobe had been waiting for did not appear. Where is the ball?

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

Wait, what is he going to do?

I saw that the Lakers No. 0 approached a step forward, suddenly stopped the ball outside the three-point line, faced Batum and defended his face, and just shot.

He... just made the move?

At this moment, not only Zhang Lili and Yu Jia on the commentary stand were stunned, but also the audience who could stand and the players on the field were also stunned.

Walter Ayudo should?

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

Immediately afterwards ~ "Shua!"

There was a clear sound of piercing the net, and the scene that had been silent for several seconds suddenly exploded, and the exclamation of mountains and tsunamis resounded throughout the arena, almost toppling the dome.

across the ocean.

A series of telegrams rang out from the sports section of Hunting Fox's live broadcast.

"Fuck! Who is this 13? He can score such a fairy ball!"

"It's outrageous! It's the first time I've seen a guy not pass the ball to Kobe."

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

"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 live in the Rose Garden.

"I even buy Karma!"

"What did I see!? Someone can beat Nicholas' defense, and I'm not Kobe?"

"Although he is an opponent, I have to boast that the way No. 0 refused to pass the ball to Kobe is really cool!"

The decibels in the stands soared violently.

inside.

"My mother! Yang Shaoxia?"

After just looking at the person who threw the fairy ball, Wang Zelin couldn't help but swear.

As expected of you, Shaoxia Yang!

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

"Ahem, Director Zhang, what do you say about this ball?"

Yu Jia looked at Zhang Lili, who was hesitant to speak, with a suppressed smile, and asked.

"Well, cough, what?" Zhang Lili coughed in embarrassing tactics, "Although this goal was scored, it was not a reasonable choice. How can anyone just hit the head at every turn..."

"Yes, yes, it is the most reasonable choice to hand the ball to Kobe."

Yu Jia responded very perfunctorily.

The Blazers attack.

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

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

The score was tied at 36.

next round.

Jordan Farmar quickly pushed across half-court when Nick Young pulled into the left wing corner for an approach.

Jordan Farmer faces Nick Young and feels about to pass the ball. Batum immediately speeded up and rushed towards Nick Young, trying to steal.

However, Jordan Farmer did not take the ball for a long time, 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 happened to be there, caught the ball, and made a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

The Lakers made another three-pointer.

39:36.

beep~

Terry Stotts called a timeout.

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

"Patrick, you go!"

After Wang Zelin and others came back, he immediately made a substitution adjustment, and changed Beverly to play the 2nd position.

"Yes, coach!"

Beverly replied excitedly.

His long-awaited opportunity has come!

"Coach Terry did a redeployment, Beverley came on, wait a minute, he's playing the 2!"

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

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

The word "mad dog" is used to describe his sticky defense like a mad dog.

Immediately, 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 Beverly to guard Durant, who was more than two meters away, they looked like this...

But no matter what, they still feel awkward, and it may take a long time for them to adapt.

Lakers bench.

"Is it finally your turn?"

Although Kobe sat motionless, there was already a fiery look in his eyes.

On December 5th, when the Trail Blazers played against the Thunder at home, the NBA officials and major media received a lot of support from public opinion, and it was basically known to all.

Wang Zelin's buzzer-beating goal hit the headlines of major newspapers, followed by the specific performances of other Blazers players that night.

There are quite a few sections among them, introducing the wonderful players who had a matchup with Durant for a period of time that night.

Yes, in the eyes of the outside world, wouldn't it be weird to let Beverly, who is in his early 1.8 meters, defend against Durant, who is about 2.1 meters?

But Durant also gave Beverly a high evaluation in the post-match interview.

The praise from the league's leading scorer~www.mtlnovel.com~ made Beverly a little popular, and also made him into the eyes of more people.

Among these people, Kobe is naturally indispensable.

Before playing the Trail Blazers, Kobe also deliberately spent some time studying Beverly, during which he also called Durant.

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

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

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

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