Chapter 112 Kobe's Attention

"Nash, you are not suitable for positional warfare at all. You should have a coach who understands you, such as D'Antoni."

After the game, Duke ran over to stir Nash's nerves.

Nash shook his head, and congratulated Duke in turn:

"Congratulations on your victory, but your next game will not be so easy."

next game?Los Angeles Lakers?

Yes, I was short of giving Kobe an elbow!

Duke suddenly remembered this.

At the post-match press conference, Duke felt the difference in the atmosphere at the scene. It seemed that all reporters had excited expressions on their faces.

"Is there any big news?"

Duke was a little suspicious, but soon he knew what it was.

A reporter directly asked a question while his butt was still hot:

"Duke, just now, in an interview, Kobe threatened that he would personally defend you in the next game and limit your scoring to 20 points. What do you think about this?"

Naked conspiracy!

Kobe has talked about this, and Duke will definitely have to face it tomorrow, otherwise he will be sprayed to death by the fans.

And this will be a great disadvantage to the Knicks.

Because Duke is the starting point of the team's offense, the team's offensive threat will be reduced by more than half without him.

Kobe is different, he is the end point of the team's offense, without him, the Lakers, Gasol, Bynum and so on.

"This old coin, see if I don't elbow you to death tomorrow."

Duke cursed in his heart.

Although he was greeting Kobe in his heart, he still wanted to answer:

"Since Kobe thinks so highly of me, then I will score 21 points tomorrow!"

As soon as this remark came out, the reporters in the audience were boiling. This is a challenge to Kobe. They have already thought of the title of today's article.

"Do you think you can beat Kobe? Who gave you such confidence?"

The media in Los Angeles was unhappy and asked.

"No, I don't think I can beat Kobe now, but since Kobe has said so, I don't think I can justify not fighting?"

After answering this question, Duke got up and left.

..................................................

The media in Los Angeles quickly published an attack on Duke.

"Arrogant and ignorant rookie."

"After several outstanding performances, Duke has become extremely arrogant. In an interview after today's game, he even threatened to score 21 points on Kobe's head. I really don't know where his courage is. He said things like that and hopefully he'll be laughing after tomorrow."

Other media also looked down on Duke one after another, and Sports Illustrated compared the characteristics of the two in an all-round way.

"In terms of shooting, both sides have their own signature moves. Duke's is a step-back shot, while Kobe is a fadeaway jumper. From the perspective of defense, it is obvious that Kobe is more difficult to defend."

"In terms of breakthroughs, Duke is good at using speed to overwhelm opponents, while Kobe uses rhythm and skills to make breakthroughs. It can be said that they are not giving in to each other, but in terms of finishing after a breakthrough, Kobe is obviously better."

"Defensively: Kobe blows Duke."

"With all that said, I can't imagine how Duke could score 21 points on Kobe who was going all out."

Even before the game started, Duke had already lost from the media alone.

As for whether he can score 21 points against Kobe in the game, Duke is not sure. Kobe's defense in this period is terrible, and it is his most annoying tough defense, which makes you lose your fighting spirit.

But at this point, you can only go all out.

Oct. 12, Staples Center.

"Shh~~~~~~~~"

"Shh~~~~~~~~"

When Duke appeared on the big screen in the stadium, boos broke out neatly from the audience.

"Hahahaha, Duke enjoys superstar treatment at the Staples Center. The last time he was booed here was LeBron. To some extent, Duke has reached LeBron's level."

Barkley has never been ambiguous about this kind of spectacle.

The ferment of public opinion made TNT attach great importance to this game, and it still sent the combination of Barkley and Smith.

Contrary to Barkley, Smith, a Knicks fan, expressed concern about Duke.

"The pressure on Duke today will be unprecedented. Not only will he have to play under the boos of the away fans, but he will also face Kobe, one of the strongest defenses in the league. This will be a great test for him. I hope He can play normally."

On the field, Duke was very calm in the face of the boos, no matter how loud the boos were, he would not be disturbed, after all, he had experienced big scenes.

"Boy, you have a good mental quality."

At this time Kobe came over from a distance and teased Duke.

"It's not thanks to you."

Duke rolled his eyes, not being polite to Bryant.

"Be prepared, I will not show mercy today."

Kobe turned and left after putting down these words.

"I won't show mercy either."

The warm-up time passed quickly, and the game that everyone was looking forward to officially arrived.

Knicks starting lineup: point guard: Chris Duhon, point guard: Duke, small forward: Marion, power forward: Yi Jianlian, center: David Lee.

Lakers? Starting: Point guard: Fisher, point: Kobe, small forward: Odom, power forward: Gasol, center: Bynum.

Although he was mentally prepared, when Duke looked at the starting five players in the Lakers team, his scalp was still numb.

The Lakers' lineup is terrifying. Except for Fisher, who is a little older in the starting lineup, everyone else is at their peak.

All the positions in the starting lineup can crush the Knicks, and what the Knicks can do is that the bench lineup is a little stronger.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Bynum beat Yi Jianlian to win the ball and gave Kobe Bryant the ball to pass halftime.

As soon as Kobe passed halftime, the current fans were all excited, because it was Duke who was defending Kobe.

"Break him!"

"Break him!"

I don't know which heartless fan yelled such a sentence, and the others also yelled.

The game has reached a climax from the beginning.

Kobe looked at the young boy in front of him full of emotion. It took only half a year for the other party to stand in front of him and challenge him. This kind of progress is really too fast.

The thought disappeared in a flash, and he used his best post-up singles to forcibly pick up Duke.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Kobe, who had an absolute advantage in strength, moved the position one meter inside with just two chisels.

"Hey, if you are at this level, then today......"

Before Kobe could utter the trash talk, he was forced to swallow it by a sharp pain in his waist.

It turned out that Duke secretly gave him an elbow in the referee's blind spot.

"When did this guy learn such a good trick?"

Kobe cursed secretly.
