Chapter 66 Iverson and Kobe
At the beginning of the game, the Eastern side took the lead in getting the first point of the game with one cooperation, which undoubtedly gave the Eastern Conference a good start.
Garnett felt very comfortable with Huang Jun's pass just now, more comfortable than Rundo's pass, and even he felt incredible. He knew how comfortable and timely Rondo's pass was, but he didn't expect that Huang Jun's ability in passing the ball was deeper than Rondo's. No wonder he could get nearly 15 assists per game.
In this All-Star Game, the Celtics are a great gain. In addition to the three giants who were selected as All-Stars, the team's main point guard La Jane Rondo was also selected as an All-Star. One team, four players were selected, and one person could form a team. The Celtics were also selected among all teams. The team with the largest number of stars.
Lajan Lundo's performance really deserves the title of All-Star. In last year's finals, the performance of the Celtics' three giants was not as good as Rondo's performance. Rondo completely organized the team's attack. The scalpel-like pass made the opponent lose one. He didn't know who Rundo's next pass would pass, and Lake In this way, he was eliminated by the Celtics.
Paul controlled the ball. Kobe wanted to catch the ball when he came up. After a look, Paul finally chose to pass the ball to Kobe. Because Kobe said before the game that he hoped that the first goal of the opening game could be handed over to him. No matter where he went, he looked like a boss, and he did have the capital. No matter what point of view, he was a natural leader.
Receizing Paul's pass, Kobe faced Iverson with the ball. Looking at the old opponent who had fallen into rumors recently, he also gradually showed his old age, and said, "Iverson, our opponent is always a highlight. Whether in the past, now or in the future, we are all opponents, but I don't think you will be my opponent. "
After saying that, Kobe heard a response from Iverson, "Cabi, I have to admit that you are really excellent. You are the strongest opponent in my life after that man. I know that my body is going downhill. I don't know how many opportunities I have to be with you, but I believe that I will try my best every time I am against you.
"I know I can't defend you, and I'm not your opponent in defense, but it's not so easy for you to defend me. Today is a good game, and our team has excellent point guards. You see, how about we change roles?
"What role?" Kobe replied puzzledly. For those who are not in a hurry to attack now, there is still time, and all the players did not say much, and no one came up to cover up. They are very clear about their opponents. Only their personalities are very similar. Their persistence in victory exceeds their understanding, and neither of them will be injured. Take it seriously.
They still admire Iverson and Kobe very much, whether they are all-stars or ordinary players, or fans, for both of them, black? That's because you are excellent, so someone will hack you. Naturally, no one will pay attention to the players who are not good, let alone anyone will hack him.
"The role is very simple. We are no longer leaders. What do you think of giving leadership to others?" Iverson laughed and said that he was not sure whether Kobe would agree to this request. He knew that he was a natural leader, and it must be very difficult for him to give up his leadership, so he was not sure at all.
"Leadership is given to others?" Kobe looked at Huang Jun and then at Iverson in front of him and said, "Ha ha, Iverson, you are really insidious. You are no longer a leader, and you tell me to give up, hehe. That's impossible. I won't give up my leadership.
After saying that, Kobe started directly. Iverson had long expected such a result, and also saw the time on the timer, so he had been paying attention to Kobe. He knew that Kobe would definitely start in the next time, which he firmly believed. There is no shameless saying about sneaking, because it is on the field, and there are no such words on the field.
Seeing that he didn't get rid of Iverson in the first time, Kobe was not worried, and then leaned his back to Iverson. At this time, Iverson was very small in his eyes, really very small. Iverson's height is really different from Kobe's height, so Iverson is not a threat in Kobe's eyes at all at this time, but just an ordinary opponent. He kept his back against Iverson and squeezed in little by little. At this time, there was not much time to attack, but Kobe did not choose to take a quick shot or anything. Instead, he was very patient. At the moment when the time was coming, he directly turned around and jumped back and shot.
At the moment of the jump shot, the light turned on at the same time, almost 24 seconds of violation. Brush, this whistle backward jump shot directly hit the hollow. Iverson looked at Kobe in front of him and said helplessly, "You're really awesome." After saying that, Iverson turned around and left directly, leaving Kobe looking at Iverson's back in a daze.
You should know that Iverson doesn't praise people very much. The least praise is Kobe Bryant, but today he praised him very unexpectedly, which made Kobe very surprised. He said to his heart, "What's wrong with Iverson today? Did you take the wrong medicine or forgot to take the medicine? Forget it, I don't think so much." Kobe Bryant, who took back his mind, chased directly after Iverson.
It's still Huang Jun holding the ball. Now the ball is in Huang Jun's hands, just like he is in charge of the power of life and death. At half of the game, he didn't mean to organize the team and passed the ball directly to Iverson. Just now, he saw Kobe and Iverson's opposition. The two were enemies. He was still very clear about this. Although Iverson did not ask himself, he knew very well that Iverson really wanted to play against Kobe.
Iverson was also very surprised that Huang Jun passed the ball to him. He didn't expect to pass the ball to him. He looked gratefully and turned to Kobe Bryant. At this time, Iverson's eyes were blindfolded, and his fighting spirit kept converging in his eyes. Then Iverson suddenly started up, but Kobe took the lead and retreated. Yes, it was a retreat. He did not choose to go up tightly, but chose to retreat.
Huang Jun has been watching all the time. He nodded very much in agreement with Kobe's behavior and said to himself, "This is undoubtedly the best way. Although Iverson is old and going downhill, Iverson's explosion is still very fast. And the retreat can be said to be a step forward, which will not be passed by Iverson. On the contrary, it is still the first to react to Iverson's next action, so that Iverson's trouble is very big, at least the trouble in breaking through Kobe's"
Looking at Iverson, he said, "I don't know what method you will choose to face the difficult problem in front of you?" As a player participating in the competition, Huang Jun became interested in this pair.
Huang Jun can understand what other players can understand more or less, and the person concerned Iverson can naturally understand it. At this time, Iverson was not surprised by Kobe's reaction and countermeasures at all, as if he had known it for a long time. Iverson's method of cracking was very simple, and it did not continue as everyone thought. Instead of breaking through something, he pulled it up directly in place, and then made a jump shot. At this time, Iverson's distance was just at the point of a small step in the three-point line.
Although it is a little far away, Iverson's hit rate at this point this season is still very high. As he gets older, Iverson also learned from Garnett and trained his jump shot well. Now his speed is not as fast as at his peak, so the choice of jump shot is undoubtedly a Very wise choice.
It's not a jump shot in the whole game, but a jump shot and a breakthrough are combined, so that the other party can neither advance nor retreat. No matter what the defensive player's reaction is, he will always find the corresponding method in the first time, and choosing a jump shot just now is undoubtedly a good way. Such a way to let one side Huang Jun was stunned. He didn't expect Iverson to choose this.
But after thinking about it, Huang Jun looked at the basketball in the air and got into the basket. Four to two. The East hit both goals at the beginning of the game, and they were both mid-range jump shots. This offensive method made the fans on the scene very helpless. For them, they hoped that every ball would be a slam dunk or something. After all, this is an all-star game, mainly for performance. However, it doesn't seem to be like this now.
At the beginning, everyone is warming up. Naturally, it is impossible to perform slam dunks frequently. Because the body is not hot, the probability of injury is very high, so everyone tries to warm up their bodies, and then it is time to perform. However, this game seems to give people the feeling that it is really not like an exhibition match, but like a real competition.
Paul holds the ball. Kobe didn't choose to ask for anything this time, because it's not in the Lakers, and others are not role players, let alone his men. So Kobe ran straight on one side, and his body ran, and it was what he wanted to do when he got hot. The general still has a way to maintain physical fitness. I can't play the game for a short time and I'm out of breath.
Paul used Yao Ming's block to kill directly under the basket, leaned on Garnett's body and forcibly threw out the basketball in his hand. Paul's breakthrough throw also hit. The main reason why he hit so easily was that Garnett did not take out his real defense to deal with it. In his mind, this game is indeed one at present. A show game.
