Chapter 4 Kobe James breaks his virginity
Zeng Yu, who came back to his mind, looked at Huang Jun, who passed by and said to himself, "It turned out that I was cheated. First, he made me think that he would choose to attack himself for the next attack with firm eyes, and then after I thought so, he chose to pass the ball, and the reason why he chose to pass the ball was to shock me. Let me think about those things, and when I was distracted, James passed the ball back to him again, and then passed me directly before I came to my senses, and then chose to attack exactly the same as I had just now"
After figureing out the reason for all this, Zeng Wei thought that Huang Jun's progress was very great and not under him at all. It turned out that when I was making progress, the other party agreed that he was also making progress.
Next, Zeng held the ball to the half-time, and did not choose to attack by himself. Instead, he passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe, who received the ball, passed the ball directly to Gasol, who was on the inside line, as if he didn't have much desire to attack.
Gasol, who received the ball, did not choose to attack by himself, but passed it inside to Bynum, who was also on the inside line. Gasol was still very good at passing the ball.
At this time, Bynum was completely in the vacancy. Gasol's pass just now was completely just right and impartial, which was just right. And Bynum is also very comfortable to catch the ball. With such a good ball, he will naturally live up to Gasol's pass. Under no one's defense, he directly ended the attack with a slam dunk.
And the defender Ilgosca has just chased Bynum, but his attack has been completed. I don't know what's the point of running back now.
Next, Huang Jun attracted the defense with a breakthrough, and then passed the ball to the big Z who had just run outside the three-point line. At this time, there was no defender around him. It was the same as Bynum's ball just now, which was very empty, but his distance was indeed far away from the basket, and Baina Mze is very close to the basket.
However, everyone knows that Big Z's three-pointer is still very powerful, so with such a good opportunity, Ilgosca aimed well and then shot, and the basketball did not let him down. He fell directly into the net and hit three points.
In the first two attacks, James and Kobe had very few opportunities to touch the ball. Both of them did not attack once. Judging from their performance just now, their desire to attack is very small and they don't want to attack at all. As long as the ball reaches their hands, they will eventually choose to pass the ball. This is Why?
In this way, the first quarter lasted until six minutes. James and Kobe were beyond everyone's expectations. During this period, they did not take a single action. They completely gave all the opportunities to the other players of the team, as if the two were competing secretly, to see who couldn't help but take the first.
In the past six minutes of the first quarter, the Cavaliers were 13 to 12, temporarily one point ahead of the Lakers, and this time the Lakers called a timeout, not because of the delay in the score, but because of Kobe's something wrong. Kobe's failure to take action completely disrupted Phil Jackson's plan. The triangular offensive Kobe's role in the operation is very big, and the terminator of almost every attack is in Kobe's hands. Kobe's score is very important to the Lakers.
The Cavaliers didn't expect much about James's failure to take action, because James usually brings up his teammates first, and then chooses to attack by himself, but the Cavaliers' head coach doesn't think so. Although James did this more than once in the past, at that time James has all assists in the account, and now that the game has only got one assist, and the score is zero points, and the zero shot is naturally zero points.
"Smith, the two protagonists in this game are so tacitly chosen not to take action, but like an audience watching the game at zero distance on the field? I don't know what you think about this?" Barkley said to Smith, who was bored around him. He really didn't understand, not to embarrass Smith.
"I think I know more or less why they didn't take action. I remember that the first attack of this game was launched by the Lakers, and then that attack did not go through Kobe's hand. The final terminator was naturally not Kobe. James must have understood something when he saw this," Smith said here. After a pause, as if he were thinking about something, he continued, "And what I understand is likely to know from it that Kobe's offensive desire is not strong, or because he doesn't want to be the protagonist of this game, but gives the protagonist to his teammates"
"Oh? Then why is that?" Barkley continued to ask.
"It's very simple, because they are all very strong players. If you really want to put them in the right position, then it's natural, but you still can't know who will lose and who wins. This doesn't mean that whoever wins the game wins. If you don't rely on them, which team will win. On the contrary, that player will play a greater role in the team. It's not that the James Kobe team can't win without you, but this is just my guess. It's very stupid. I hope it's not what I guessed, because James and Kobe are indispensable people in the team. Smith said the guess in his heart in one breath.
After listening to it, Barkley thought for a moment and then said, "I don't think so. They are likely to hand over the first half of the game to their teammates, and they will stand up in the second half. The first half belongs to their teammates, and the second half belongs to their duel."
After listening to Barkley's words, Smith also felt that it was very reasonable, but this was just the guess of the two. The real answer will be known later, and they also knew that this timeout, the head coaches of both sides would ask them to start the attack, which is no doubt.
So when the game comes back, Kobe and James will be likely to participate in the attack. Unless they don't listen to the coach's arrangement, they will definitely participate in the attack.
The game is back.
As soon as the Lakers received the ball, they passed it to Kobe's hand, obviously allowing Kobe to attack directly.
Kobe Bryant, who received the ball, glanced at James, then turned to Battier, who defended himself, and said, "Your eye-covering method will really make me very uncomfortable, but in the whole league, I am the only one who can defend me"
Battier didn't know what Kobe meant by this, but he didn't care at all, nor did he think about what he meant, what he should do, and what he did. He didn't distract his defensive attention from meditation because of Kobe's words.
Kobe was not surprised that Battier was not affected by his own words, and what he just said was not to divert the other party's attention. In his heart, there was really no one who could defend him, and he was the only one who could defend himself.
Kobe started, not to change to break through or something, but to choose to hit back. At this time, the position is one step within the three-point line, but it is still very far from the basket.
Kobe didn't care about this at all. He singled Battier with his back and squeezed in little by little. Although Battier said he resisted, he still let Kobe into the basket a little.
After that, Kobe directly turned around and made a fake move. Battier still stood in place and did not deviate from the center of gravity because of Kobe's fake move. Because Battier and Kobe have been opposite many times, he knows Kobe more or less.
Seeing that Battier was unmoved, Kobe directly pulled up, and then jumped back. Battier's reaction ability was still very excellent. When Kobe pulled out, he also rushed over and covered Kobe's eyes with his own feel, and this time it was very successful. Not Kobe's eyes, but in turn, Kobe can't see the specific position of the basket, just pull out the ball in his hand with his feeling.
After watching Kobe's shot, Battier, who landed, turned around and looked at the basketball that flew forward. He brushed and the ball into the net. Even if there was no such wonderful sound, Battier saw the ball score.
Batier didn't care about this at all, and there was no pity on his face, as if the ball had not been scored.
In fact, he thought very simply. As Kobe said, there is only one person in the whole league who can defend him, that is himself. Battier also knows that he can't defend him. He can only do his best to defend, make him uncomfortable, cover his shooting sight, and minimize the opponent's shooting rate. .
As long as he can do one of these, he will be very satisfied. It is impossible to score Kobe Bryant with zero. No one in history will give Kobe and other superstar scorers zero, which is very unrealistic.
It's the Cavaliers' turn to attack. James saw Kobe take action and said, "Since you have taken action, our duel has also begun. I thought you might not take action in the first half or the whole first quarter. I didn't expect you to take action in the end. I don't think it's because of Jackson, but your pressure. I can't stop the heart that wants to attack.
At half-time, Huang Jun passed the ball to James without any hesitation, because he was also very clear about the situation on the court. Seeing that Kobe shot, he thought that James would also take action, so he passed the ball to James's hand and let him deal with the ball.
James, who received the ball, faced Ariza, who was also a defensive player.
He doesn't know Kobe's backward jump shot, so he directly accelerated the direction and directly hit Aliza. He completely wanted to use his physical fitness to deal with Aliza.
And this move was really effective. He hit Ariza's James and made a layup directly to score the ball. At the same time, the referee also blew Ariza's defense, two plus one.
James, standing on the free throw line, will successfully add a penalty, 16-14, and the Cavaliers lead by two points.
