Chapter 683 Kobe and Paul's target!Shuhao is too difficult!
Chapter 683 Kobe and Paul's target!Shuhao is too difficult!
It's different from the previous duel in fast break.
This time, Jeremy chose to single out Paul at the top of the right arc with 10 seconds left in the attack time!
Although he has only played against cp3 a few times, Shuhao knows very well that the opponent's hands are very fast and his judgment is very accurate.
If you are not careful, you may be intercepted by it!
Therefore, Shuhao did not use too large a range of movements, but used small and high-frequency shaking to mobilize Paul's center of gravity.
After a one-handed in&out feint, Shuhao lowered his center of gravity and broke through to the right.
Paul moved laterally to block.
The two soon collided.
At the moment of physical contact, Shuhao dribbled the ball with his right hand and pulled the ball back to his left hand.
And Paul's center of gravity was steady, and he immediately took a step forward, not giving Brother Hao any space.
But at the next moment, Shuhao leaned on Paul with his right hand, turned around and successfully wiped him away!
"woo..."
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.
Even Lakers fans can't help but be amazed by this wonderful action!
However, Shuhao still remained vigilant after passing others.
With the experience of being cut the ball last time, this time, he always used his peripheral vision to pay attention to Paul's position, and kept trying to keep the ball concealed, not giving the latter a chance to steal.
At this time, Matt Barnes came to help defend and stood in front of Shuhao.
Seeing this, Shu Hao decisively chose to break the point and pass the ball to George who was in the open position.
Pickled pepper raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!
5:8, the Rockets completed the go-ahead.
In just 2 minutes, they played a small climax of 8:0!
At this moment, Kobe will naturally stand up.
The Lakers' offensive round.
Kobe asked for the ball in the low post.
After receiving a pass from Paul, he turned around towards the baseline and accelerated towards the basket.
George was always with him, never leaving him.
But Kobe was halfway through, stopped suddenly, drifted and shot a fadeaway jumper...
Paojiao struggled to take off, but still missed the ball and failed to touch the ball.
......
......
"Shu~"
Basketball hollow into the net!
This ball is extremely difficult, it is a typical Kobe-style unreasonable goal!
Corvo himself also silently clenched his fist after landing.
The fans at the scene couldn't help but praise:
"Picturesque...seeing this type of singles, I can only think of the word 'picturesque'."
"Kobe's recoil is not alcohol, but I'm as drunk as a dog!"
"George has already defended well, but unfortunately, his idol is still a little stronger."
......
On the court, George raised his right hand, indicating that the ball was his problem.
After the offensive and defensive transition, Pickle also fell to the low post to ask for the ball.
Kobe was behind him, constantly using his body to interfere with George's catch.
George gritted his teeth and started a "hand-to-hand fight" with Kobe.
The two entangled for a long time, and Shu Hao, who had been preparing to pass the ball, had to find another way and pass the ball to Yao Ming.
Dayao hit Bynum with his back, made a hook shot with a forward turn, and hit the ball again!
7: 10!
But before the Rockets had time to celebrate the goal, the Lakers were about to serve the bottom line.
Paul advanced with the ball at high speed, passed Curry with a crossover on the move, and went straight to the Rockets penalty area!
At the critical moment, George rushed back, jumped high, and prepared hot pot to serve.
But in 11 years, Paul's speed and explosive power are at their peak.
He tucked in his belly in the air, escaped George's block by staying in the air, and threw the ball before landing...
The basketball swiped twice on the hoop, and finally fell into the net.
9: 10!
Shen Fei in the stands felt a little emotional when he saw the goal.
After all, in the year he traveled through, Paul was "very old", and basically could only rely on mid-range jumpers after pick-and-rolls and some outside shots to score.
Such a difficult layup after a hurricane dash was almost unheard of at that time.
But having such a strong opponent made Shen Fei look forward to what kind of response Shu Hao and Curry would give!
............
The game continues.
In the next few minutes, the two sides began a defensive battle, or iron battle.
Whether it's Curry's three-pointer, Kobe's singles, or Yao Ming's fallback, the shooting percentage is not high.
With 6 minutes left in the first quarter, the two teams tied at 15.
After an official timeout, Mark Jackson replaced Jeremy, George, and Yao Ming; Thompson, Leonard, and Oden went into battle.
As for the Lakers, Kobe took a break first, and Paul and Bynum led the team to continue the campaign.
And this substitution also became the first feng shui ridge of the game.
After the game restarted, Curry burst out.
In just 2 minutes, he hit 3 three-pointers in a row!
Moreover, in these three rounds, Curry faced Paul's defense.
In front of the opponent's defensive gate, scored 3 three-pointers in a row!
Such a performance will undoubtedly boost the morale of the Rockets!
Although Paul also hit two mid-range shots in response, the lethality of the three-pointer must be greater than the two-pointer.
This is not only reflected in the score, but also in the damage to the opponent's defensive system.
Curry opened up this point, and the Lakers could only double-team him.
And this gives the Rockets other players a better chance to attack.
Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and even Xiaoka all hit open three-pointers during this period!
The Rockets' momentum was like a rainbow, and they hit a 20:10 spurt.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 25:35, and the Rockets took a 10-point lead.
In the second quarter of the game, the two sides continued to change players.
For the Lakers, Kobe is back in battle.
After playing, his eyes were stern, with a faint killing intent.
Obviously, Kobe was not satisfied with his teammates' performance at the end of the first quarter.
Now, he can only fill the 10-point hole.
But this time, it was Leonard who defended Kobe.
At this time, Xiaoka is still relatively immature.
In the first two matchups with Kobe, he was once face-to-face with Kobe and made a three-pointer, and once he was cheated by the opponent's fake action and paid for a foul.
Bryant walked to the free throw line, made two free throws, and rewritten the score to 30:35.
In just 1 minute, the difference between the two teams was only 5 points!
Just when Kobe thought Leonard, a rookie, was helpless...
The third matchup between the two.
When Kobe turned around and broke through, Leonard made a horizontal hand from behind and stabbed the ball away!
The ball rolled to Griffin.
He jumped up and took the ball into his arms.
The next moment, Ci Shiping, who came off the bench, pounced on him.
Fortunately, Griffin reacted quickly and passed the ball to Jeremy Lin beside him before the opponent arrived.
Shuhao quickly advanced with the ball, striding forward, and headed towards the Lakers half court.
He's incredibly fast and can make a variety of dribbling moves on the move.
The Lakers' players went on and on, but they still couldn't stop Jeremy's footsteps.
In the end, Shu Hao passed all the way, and when he reached the basket, there were no defensive players around him.
He easily completed the layup and added two more points for the Rockets!
As soon as the goal was scored, CCTV commentator Yu Jia sighed:
"When Jeremy dribbles, the basketball seems to stick to his hands. He can run at full speed while making all kinds of shaking."
"This kind of basic skills, I have been commenting on the game for so many years, and I have rarely seen it."
"I'm afraid, that is, Paul of the Lakers is comparable to him. Curry's dribbling is also very good, but he is more inclined to agility and rhythm, which is another feeling."
............
Jeremy's goal was beautiful, but it failed to change the situation of the game.
Since Kobe played, the Lakers have firmly controlled the initiative.
After 5 minutes in the second quarter, the score became 47:50, and the Lakers were only 3 points behind!
Mark Jackson reluctantly called a timeout, forcibly interrupting the Lakers' rhythm.
After the timeout ended, Curry and other starters reappeared.
The Rockets laid out: Curry, Tony Allen, George, Leonard and Yao Ming.
This lineup focuses on a flank defense!
Even Kobe frowned slightly after seeing the five players on the field from the Rockets.
Tony Allen is his old rival.
Kobe once said in an interview that he thought Tony Allen was the toughest defender in the league!
As for George and Leonard, Kobe has faced each other in this game.
Although Corvo has the upper hand, the pressure from Pickled Pepper and Xiao Ka must not be underestimated!
In addition, since the second quarter, Kobe has been "single-handedly" for 5 minutes with high intensity (against the small card).
His physical fitness is strange, and he is also a little tired at this time.
In the next few minutes, the situation was predictable.
Under the wheel battle of Mr. Tony, George, and Leonard, Kobe's shooting rate dropped significantly.
And Paul's firepower was completely offset by Curry.
Relying on Yao Ming's advantage, the Rockets steadily expanded their lead.
After the second quarter, the Rockets led the Lakers by 65 points 58:7!
............
Inside the home team locker room.
Kobe sat quietly in his seat, taking a sip of his sports drink from time to time.
The first half of the game took a toll on him.
Especially in the second half of the second quarter, after the Rockets changed, Tony Allen and others took turns to defend him, making it very difficult for Kobe to attack every time.
Moreover, the three Rockets have different defensive styles.
Tony Allen is the most aggressive and has a lot of shots when defending.
When Kobe faced him, he had to spend a lot of energy on confrontation and protecting the ball.
And George likes to cut off the passing line, or through anticipation, give Kobe interference.
Small cards are even more special.
After several matchups, Kobe could clearly feel the young man's terrifying learning ability!
For example, at the beginning, Kobe was able to point him up with a shot fake.
But later, when Corvo used this trick again, Leonard would bully him and cover Kobe with his long arms, forcing Kobe to make a difficult shot!
"Rocket No. 2 will become dpoy in the future."
Kobe said suddenly.
As soon as this remark came out, the Lakers looked at each other in blank dismay.
At this time, Ci Shiping suddenly raised his hand and said, "I think so too."
The two defensive leaders said so, and the other Lakers players naturally believed it.
"In this way, the Rockets may still be the most competitive team this year."
Paul frowned.
He joined the Lakers with only one goal, and that was to win the championship.
In today's league, the two teams most likely to compete with the Lakers are the Heat and the Rockets.
I thought that the departure of McGrady and others would hurt the Rockets.
It now appears that the Rockets have no shortage of opportunities, and the transition has been very smooth.
"Those are too far away, let's think about how to win this game first."
Kobe continued.
Paul nodded: "The young Rockets are talented, but they lack experience. We can use this as a breakthrough point."
"Chris said that well, and I think so too."
New Lakers coach - Mike - Brown took the words with a smile.
Then, he began to explain tactics on the whiteboard.
............
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, the intermission is over, and the second half of the game officially begins!
As soon as the third quarter came up, the Lakers focused on Jeremy Lin.
Whether it is Kobe, Paul, or even Barnes, as long as they are facing the book giants, they will attack decisively.
Although Shu Hao has good physical talent, his defensive awareness is relatively average.
Coupled with his lack of height, he is very passive on the defensive end.
Bryant's back hit...success!
Paul pulls up for a jump shot after a series of shakes...hit!
Barnes carried the dynamite bag and put Jeremy Lin on his back for a layup...causing a foul!
Losing points again and again not only exhausted Shuhao's physical energy, but also caused subtle changes in his mentality.
Shuhao first hit Kobe hard, and stopped the jumper to hit the iron.
In the next round, Paul predicted his pass in advance and intercepted it directly!
In the third round, Shuhao simply squatted in the bottom corner to calm himself down.
But without his participation, the Rockets' offense also failed to succeed.
In this way, relying on the "precise strike" against Shuhao, the Lakers beat the Rockets 6:0 as soon as they came up in the second half.
The score became 63:65, and the Lakers were only two points behind!
On the sidelines, Mark Jackson looked serious and frowned.
But he didn't call a timeout or replace the underwhelming bookmaker.
Because Mark Jackson knows that this moment is very important to young players like Jeremy Lin!
If Jeremy can find a way to solve the problem, he will get a raise!
Of course, the situation may continue to deteriorate.
After all, Kobe and Paul are the kind of people who see each other's weaknesses and will be merciless and keep attacking.
The two of them are like sharks smelling blood, and they want to eat Jeremy Lin dry one bite at a time!
............
At this time, Yao Ming took the initiative to walk to Shuhao's side while serving the ball, leaned over and said:
"Don't have a psychological burden, play at your own pace."
"Playing against Kobe and Paul, it is normal to suffer losses. If you can play back and forth, you will make money."
Shuhao listened carefully, then nodded.
[Brother Yao is right, I’m just a rookie in the second grade, facing two superstars, how can I compete with them? ]
[Type my own style and it's done...]
With this in mind, Shuhao took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then turned and ran towards the Lakers half court.
Soon, Jeremy got the opportunity to attack.
George drives to the free throw line and passes the ball back.
After Jeremy Lin received the ball at the top of the arc, he dribbled the ball twice at Paul who was rushing towards him.
The first dribble is a crotch dribble forward.
The second dribble is a back dribble and a pull back.
This time and again, Paul, who is known for his defense, was directly nailed in place!
Immediately, Shuhao bent his knees to receive the ball and made a decisive shot!
