Chapter 94 Anxiety

5:0 At the beginning, the sun took the initiative.

Bynum's two consecutive attacks were blocked, and Fisher did not pass the ball again, because Kobe couldn't see it at this time, and he took the initiative to catch the ball. As soon as Kobe took the ball, the Lakers immediately pulled the space away.

Carter bent down and looked straight at Kobe. At this distance, Carter did not dare to stick to Kobe easily, otherwise, the other party's turn would easily throw himself away.

Kobe dribbled the ball and rushed to the left. Carter moved his feet quickly to stop him. Looking at Kobe's change of direction, Carter moved quickly again. At the same time, he took the initiative to force him forward and did not give Kobe room to change direction easily.

Kobe leaned sideways, put his back against Carter, suddenly turned around and continued to rush to the right.

Carter clung to Kobe's side, and his footsteps moved horizontally. It has to be said that Carter's basic defensive skills are relatively solid.

The two were close to the three-second area outside the bottom line. Kobe suddenly stopped and turned around and jumped.

Carter also jumped up and raised his arm high to touch the ball in Kobe's hand. At this time, Kobe took back the high ball and pushed it out of Carter's side and passed the ball!

Carter turned around and saw Gasol taking Kobe's pass, and then chose to take action under Fry's defense and hit two points.

Looking at Kobe, who did not run back to the half, Carter was not discouraged. In recent years, he was indeed not as good as Kobe because of his physical condition, but he must consume Kobe as much as possible to help the team win the game.

Thinking so, Carter's footsteps did not stop. He was rushing to the other side of the half quickly. Not only him, but all the players of the Suns were rushing quickly. They needed to play fast offensive and defensive cooperation.

Carter rushed through half-time and came to the bottom corner of the right side, while Dragic cooperated with Zhao Yue at the top of the arc.

With the help of blocking, Dragic shook away Fisher for half a step and attracted Gasol's defensive attention. After he passed the ball to Fry. Fry, who got the ball, shook a shot and then dribbled the ball forward.

At the same time, Anthony, who was in the bottom corner on the other side, suddenly cheated Artest after a fake action, and then rushed straight down the basket along the bottom line. Fry, who had just taken a step in dribbling, saw Anthony, pushed it, and the ball immediately came to Anthony's hand.

Artest accelerated forward and stuck to Anthony's side, but he obviously couldn't stop Anthony from rushing to the basket. Looking at Anthony stride and ready to take off, Gasol quickly rushed to the basket and jumped towards Anthony.

Anthony took off. At this time, he had been wrapped in the middle by Artest and Gasol, but he still raised the ball. The next moment, he shot. However, the ball did not fly forward, but over his and Artest's head and backwards!

After taking Anthony's pass from the back of his head, Fry, who was unguarded, certainly would not let go of the opportunity. He took action easily at close range, with a knife and two points.

After landing, looking at Artest and Gasol, who were finally slightly surprised, Anthony shrugged his shoulders.

"Wenixed cooperation! Channing handed the ball to the empty-cut Cameron. Cameron jumped up and pretended to attack and passed the ball back to Qian Ning. Beautiful! Cameron really surprised us. After the opening, he scored 3 points and 2 assists, and every score of the team was related to him. Maybe the Lakers will pay more attention to Cameron!"

"Cameron, that's great." Cameron had a good start today.

At this time, the Lakers scored a goal, and Gasol attacked with the ball at a medium distance. His height had a huge advantage against Fry, so he was particularly resolute in attacking. Seeing that Fry could not stop Gasol, Zhao Yue immediately came forward to assist in defense.

Gasol's response ability was quite outstanding. He found that Kobe cut into the basket along the bottom line at this time and immediately passed the ball. Zhao Yue could not defend back, and Kobe, who received the ball, made a good layup.

The opening was caught off guard by the sudden force of the Suns, but the Lakers quickly stabilized their positions. With the strength of Gasol and Kobe, the whole team entered an offensive state.

The Sun's attack was also relatively normal, but they could not stop the Lakers' attack. In the middle of the first quarter, the two teams fought against each other, which made the fans at the scene very happy, but after the end of the first quarter, the shooting rate of both teams decreased.

With Gasol's second strong inside hit Fry, the score came to 22-24, and the difference between the two teams was only 2 points, with the last 1 minute left in the first quarter.

After Dragic dribbled the ball to the front court, Zhao Yue stepped forward to block it. Fisher gave Dragic a chance. Seeing that Dragic was going straight to the inside line, Bynum hurriedly moved his steps to stop him.

Flet cut the inside line, and Dragic did not let go of such an opportunity and passed the ball to Fry. Fry rushed to the basket with the ball in his hand. Bynum reacted very quickly. When Fry held the ball and was ready to take off, he had already come to Fry's side.

Half a position ahead of Bynum gave Fry a sense of security. He grabbed the ball with his left hand and Fry put it towards the basket.

Just when he thought the goal was a must, Bynum behind him quickly squeezed over, his long arm poked out, and his huge palm slapped the basketball.

"Bang!" Fry's new ball was fanned by Bynum's palm. Before Fry recovered from his consternation, Bynum had rebounded and grabbed the rebound in his hand.

"Wan!" The scene was in an uproar, and the Suns fans were as stunned as Fry.

Zhao Yue was also surprised that Fry's ball was covered, but he didn't have time to think about all this, because the ball had come to Kobe's hand and the Lakers launched a fast attack.

Kobe did not give the ball to Fisher, but chose to dribble the ball forward. Zhao Yue ran forward on the side, and his eyes did not leave Kobe's figure for a moment.

In the fast attack, Kobe has more offensive choices than Zhao Yue. Zhao Yue dares not be careless at all, and even before he reaches the three-point line, he is ready to defend.

Kobe in the rush shook to the left, and then quickly rushed to the right. It was this simple action, but Zhao Yue inevitably lost his position. Defending Kobe's sudden change of direction is more difficult than preventing his starting change of direction.

found a bit of breakthrough space. Kobe would not easily give up such a great opportunity and dribbled forward rapidly. He was always stuck in the front half of Zhao Yue's body, and no one had time to return to the inside defense at this time.

When he came to the three-second zone, Kobe jumped up and flew to the basket with the ball in his hands. Although Zhao Yue also followed him, he could not judge what kind of attack Kobe would choose. Compared with Zhao Yue, Kobe has more diversity in shooting modes and layup methods.

Zhao Yue's hand pressed down, but Kobe's ball had avoided his hand and flew to the rebound, hitting the middle of the rebound and bounced into the basket.

Looking at Kobe's understatement, he dodged his defense. Although Zhao Yue was a little helpless, he was not too annoyed. When these superstars in the league got a chance to attack fast, it was too difficult to rely on one person to defend the other side. The only thing that upsets Zhao Yue is that after Kobe scored the goal, the score of the two teams has become 24-24, a draw.

Quickly receiving the ball, Zhao Yue threw the ball and passed it to Dražić outside the three-point line, while the man quickly stepped into the entrance and rushed to the other half.

Drazic's advance speed was very fast, and Zhao Yue was not slow. When Dragic came to the three-point line, Zhao Yue was almost close, and Dragic passed the ball over at this time.

Zhao Yue, who rushed forward, received the ball and hit it on the ground and rushed to the right. Bynum was still one step away from Zhao Yue, which also gave him enough time to react.

Zhao Yue didn't seem to see that the front had been stopped by Bynum, and his right foot still stepped out. Bynum began to move forward half a step, and he planned to force Zhao Yue to stop.

How could Zhao Yue not understand Bynum's intention? While his right foot landed, his body turned quickly and had stuck Bynum by his side. Unlike those defenders who relied on agility and suddenness, Zhao Yue's turn around and played a role of strength at the same time. Bynum was ready to stay close to Zhao Yue's side to prevent him from rushing to the inside line, but Zhao Yue's power made him unable to stagnate.

Zhao Yue rushed forward with the help of the power from Bynum. At this moment, Zhao Yue's speed was even comparable to the speed when he ran with all his strength, and he was not affected by turning around at all.

Finally got rid of Bynum, Zhao Yue, who was rushing, did not forget to make a fake move. Zhao Yue's action proved to be extremely wise, and Gasol, who was preparing to clip in front of him, shook.

At the moment when Gasol moved his center of gravity, Zhao Yue had rushed past the other side, and Gasol's presence on the side also made Bynum, who had fallen behind him, completely lose the opportunity to defend.

"King Zhao broke through Andrew, cheated Paul with fake actions, dunk..."

"King Zhao, well done!" The Suns fans couldn't help standing up to cheer loudly. Zhao Yue, who shook Gasol, had already jumped and flew to the basket with the ball.

With a loud bang, the dunk was successful.

"The goal is in, good job, King Zhao! Break through Andrew and successfully find space in the face of Paul's bag. It's great. King Zhao's dunk ability will obviously live up to his title of champion of the slam dunk competition. The commentator at the scene shouted.

Fisher's whistle shot missed. At the end of the first quarter, 24:26, the Suns maintained a 2-point advantage and entered the second quarter. The head coaches of the two teams tacitly put Anthony and Kobe off the court.
