Chapter 126 126. The Unfinished Game (for Subscription)
Irving started too quickly, and even seized the momentary hesitation of the defender Richard, and steadily sent the ball into the basket.
A duel between the strong is a powerful game from skill to psychology.
Not only physical fatigue, but also mental exhaustion.
Richard took the ball to the outside of the three-point line and let out a long breath.
Dribbled towards Irving, turned his back again, and chose to hit back.
If you don't take advantage of your advantages, you're a bastard. He has an advantage in height and weight. If you don't seize your own advantages, can you use your own shortcomings to provide others with strengths?
Owen lowered his center of gravity and still failed to block Richard's inward footsteps. He was pushed forward two steps in a row, and Richard had already entered the penalty area.
Richard shook his right shoulder.
Owen couldn't see Richard's dribble breakthrough route from his back, so he could only follow his shoulders to adjust his center of gravity and press to the right.
Of course, Richard turned around from the left. Although the shaking of his shoulders is not necessarily a fake move, it is one of the best fake moves.
Owen was also prepared, quickly moving sideways to block Richard's left turn, but because of passive reasons, he had to move ahead of time to the forward direction.
In this way, there is an open space between the two or a position that the defense voluntarily gave up.
The moment Richard was blocked, he immediately changed direction from the open space between the two, turned to the left to break through, and collected the ball for a layup.
Richard received the ball in his hands, but Owen couldn't do anything if he wanted to cut the ball, so he had to jump up to block the shot.
Richard took the ball again and turned around, stepped into the layup from the right side, and put the ball in against the defense.
This is Kobe's footsteps under the basket!
The young Murray and Clarkson stared wide-eyed. In view of Owen's roar just now, they covered their mouths with their hands so as not to make a sound, otherwise they would have yelled loudly.
Kobe was also slightly taken aback. He knew Richard's technical movements like his own, but he used them so confidently in his own training camp. It can be seen that Richard is also a very confident person.
And this technical movement, although it is not very smooth and coherent, you can still see some shadows of yourself in it.
The ball scored, Kobe also showed a gratified smile.
Will the next ball be a fadeaway jumper?
Owen has tried his best to defend, but there is still no way to block Richard. At this time, Owen is a little impatient.
Looking at the few rookies on the sidelines, although they didn't make a sound, they used their actions to show how much they admired the goal just now, and he was a background board again.
This made Owen even more upset.
I lost the No. 6 pick, entered the league for [-] years and played a sophomore, a championship guard and a sixth man. From any identity, I am stronger, but I am constantly teased by the opponent. The audience still thinks that the opponent is stronger!
This made Owen feel very shameless.
But Owen never thought that such a duel itself was a game that made him lose face, and he didn't gain face if he won.
Owen took the ball and launched an attack again. This time Owen directly used the speed to rush out, and Richard moved quickly to keep the defense in place.
This time Owen didn't choose too fancy dribble, instead he kept rushing for three or four steps, and Richard had to speed up continuously to keep up.
At this time, Owen also made a sudden stop, took the ball and turned around, and took a step back, widening the space between the two.
Richard stopped quickly and jumped up to block the shot.
Owen has already jumped in the air, and the ball followed suit.
Richard didn't reach it, and the ball had already flown past his defense.
"Bang" hit the iron.
There was no problem with Owen's step-back, and he had successfully swayed Richard's defense, but the power and angle of the shot changed because of his uneasy mood. If he didn't make it this time, Richard's lead was confirmed.
Seeing the missed ball, Richard couldn't believe it.
If he wins the game because of this, Richard can only say that Owen lost to himself.
But winning is winning.
Irving also had a look of disbelief. Shooting is not Irving's weakness, but now he hasn't made a shot. He has gotten rid of the defense, but he still hasn't made a shot. This makes Owen unable to believe the result in front of him.
But at the same time, it also made Owen wake up. He was already one point behind, and he had to rely on crazy defense to make Richard also lose points. Otherwise, he would lose 4:5 if he relied on counterattack.
As for the faces and mouths of those people on the sidelines, Owen doesn't want to look at them at all, and there will definitely be no good faces.
In fact, it was not. None of the people on the sidelines gloated about their misfortune. Everyone showed regretful expressions. Isn't it a pity that such a good step back was not advanced?
Everyone here is gathering together for basketball, who would have bad intentions?
Even DeRozan, who wanted to stand against Irving, shook his head regretfully.
Kobe kept smiling, his trademark charming smile, because Kobe looked more carefully than others and discovered the problem in the ball.
3:2, Richard still has the ball, as long as he scores again, he will be invincible.
Everyone looked forward to the changes on the field.
Originally, DeRozan and Thomas Jr. didn't pay much attention to watching the game, but were discussing something on the sidelines. At this time, they stopped chatting with each other and turned to watch the competition.
Richard started to dribble, and Owen had already stepped forward. Only a strong defense could make Richard make a mistake. Owen has already given it a go, and just defending for 5 seconds can cause Richard to make a mistake. It doesn't seem very difficult.
Richard was unmoved, and after resisting Owen's crazy temptation with his back, Richard quickly turned around and walked to an empty space to get rid of Owen first.
Then sprint to the restricted area.
Owen's first pounce didn't work, and he jumped in front of Richard again. His quick and sensitive movements instantly occupied the defensive position, and Richard's forcible impact may cause an offensive foul.
Richard also stopped in time, took a dribble behind his back, trying to bypass Owen from the side.
Owen followed suit, clung to him tightly, and did not give Richard a chance to move his phone.
In just a few seconds, the two had already clashed several times.
Feeling that time was running out, Richard could only resort to his unique move, taking advantage of the confrontation between the two, jumping backwards and shooting.
Irving clings to the defense and can't stop the shot.
Richard's body was stretched straight, but his hands were perpendicular to the floor, and his shots were steady without any shaking.
The ball flew into the basket steadily.
This time it was finally Kobe's long-awaited own fadeaway jumper.
"Wow!" Murray finally couldn't help but cheered. Richard's fadeaway jump shot already has [-]% of Kobe's demeanor, except that the angle of the fadeaway is not up to Kobe's peak, and maybe Kobe is doing it by himself now.
Kobe himself enjoyed watching it, knowing that Richard would use this trick, but he didn't expect Richard's fadeaway jumper to be really impressive, even more standard than his previous years. When he learned Jordan's fadeaway jumper at that time, he was not as good as Richard is learning himself now.
Moreover, Richard's fade-away jumper is obviously more proficient than the footwork at the basket, which is also normal. The technique of footsteps at the basket consumes the ball more. Richard is only the third offensive point of the team (it will gradually become the second offensive point later in the season).
It can be seen that Richard is indeed learning from himself in many places, and the same height and similar conditions are also quite suitable for Richard to learn.
But watching Richard play, there is an illusion that he is playing. Although this is a wonderful feeling, it is not very good.
Kobe didn't want his own clones to appear in the league. Basketball skills should be carried forward to show different charms in the hands of different people. This is the charm of basketball.
Instead, Kobe fell into thinking.
4:2, Richard led by two goals.
Although he tried his best to defend, he still failed to achieve his goal. Owen was a little frustrated, but more angry.
As long as you hold on for another step, Richard will be almost 5 seconds away.
But now it is impossible to have such a strict timer, there is no way to judge whether Richard has exceeded 5 seconds.
Although Owen has calmed down, the gap in the score is still naked in front of him, which makes Owen a little conflicted.
It is possible to win the game only by burning up the fighting spirit, but the feeling of chasing points makes me uncomfortable.
"Come on! Kyrie. You can reverse!" Clarkson is a fan of Irving. Irving's reversal three-pointer in the 16 Finals was earth-shattering.
At this time, Irving suspended the attack obviously because he was a little confused, so Clarkson said cheer up.
After all, it would be a pity not to finish such a wonderful duel, and victory or failure is no longer important to the spectators.
Owen only became excited when he heard Clarkson's cheering, and his body trembled unconsciously.
Richard also lowered his center of gravity, watching Owen intently and waiting for him to start attacking.
Irving put the ball down, started dribbling, stepped further on the three-point line, and immediately withdrew back to outside the three-point line, making a straight-back three-point shot.
This is a gamble, and the gamble can save energy for defense.
If you don't bet, you lose directly.
But it's not a gamble, because Irving is very confident in his three-pointers. Don't forget that Irving is also the finalist of this year's All-Star Three-Point Challenge.
The three-point shooter who played Eric Gordon in a playoff to decide the winner.
The ball is firmly hollow into the net.
4: 3.
Irving forcibly kept the suspense of the game, and it was absolutely impossible to tell the outcome until the last moment.
"What are you doing? Are you competing? Why do you have to compete when you come here? Are you not tired after playing for a season? I am so tired. Why do I want to come to this training camp? Why are you joining this training camp?"
"Ah! Kobe is here, I also want to ask you, why do you want to open this training camp? Why did you invite me?"
