One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-Five. Strong Will to Fight
This venomous snake has taken all the limelight!
Sun Ce looked at the major websites that were flooded with news about Kobe's contract extension...
"It was such a big deal when he surpassed the second place... Wait, this guy also made a big deal when he surpassed the third place. If he is the first in the scoring list, 60E people in the world will fly to the sky!"
Sun Ce couldn't hold it in and complained crazily.
Kobe suddenly wanted to renew his contract. For the younger generation of players, Sun Ce actually felt that many players who had just entered the NBA would be very happy to be able to play against Kobe. Those who entered the NBA in recent years probably grew up watching Kobe play. Of course, fans of the 03 generation have also gradually entered the NBA, such as Anthony Davis.
For the fans, it is also a happy thing. Duncan and Garnett are likely to retire. There are fewer and fewer players who entered the NBA in the 1990s. They can hardly make up the number of two hands.
Sun Ce ignored this and prepared for the game in the evening.
In the previous opening game, I got a random skill upgrade card, and won the opening game for 7 consecutive years, completing the career event of "King of the Opening Game".
Originally, Sun Ce wanted to use this card on an auspicious day, anyway, there was no rush, hoping to randomly get a skill upgrade that was more suitable for him now, but now I think I'll just use it, just in case it increases the success rate of winning.
As soon as I thought about it, the system prompt came.
"Host uses a random skill upgrade card... Congratulations to the host, skill: Pick and Roll Expert upgraded from level 1 to level 2."
"My luck is really average, so many level 3 skills are not upgraded... It's okay, at least not bad, I didn't upgrade the triple threat."
Sun Ce looked at the upgraded "Pick and Roll Expert".
"Pick and Roll Expert Level 2: When the host, as a pick and roll executor, successfully picks and rolls for a teammate holding the ball, if he chooses to cut into the basket and burst into acceleration, his strength will be temporarily increased by one small level; if he chooses to pull away and shoot, when the host receives a pass from a teammate holding the ball and picking and rolling, his mid-range shooting rating or three-point shooting rating will be temporarily increased by one small level.
Note: New effect added at level 3: Anti-pick and roll speed bonus. This skill can be upgraded through a designated skill upgrade card or a random skill upgrade card."
Sun Ce originally thought that upgrading to a level 1 skill was just average luck, but after seeing the prompt after the upgrade, the effect of the next upgrade was not bad! If it is upgraded again later, it will have the effect of anti-pick and roll.
Pick and roll is one of the most popular tactics nowadays. Many of the offenses of strong teams are centered around pick and roll. For example, the Lakers are a standard pick and roll team, with various pick and rolls with or without the ball.
The skill "Ball Pick and Roll Expert" has no defensive bonus, it is a ball attack skill, but in addition to the bonus as a pick and roll executor, the "Pick and Roll Expert" also has a bonus when defending against pick and rolls. Perhaps the effect of this skill will become stronger in the future!
In this way, luck is not bad! Although he failed to upgrade the level 3 skills such as "Mistake" and "Overlord Dunk", and even the level 2 skills were not upgraded, he knew that the level 3 and 4 of "Pick and Roll Expert" are defensive bonuses, because level 5 is definitely an overall enhancement of the skills.
In this way, Sun Ce decided to use the S-level designated type lottery card!
As a player, Sun Ce now has a clear and long-term plan. Because of the strengthening of his core strength in the past summer, the shooting training effect is very good, but there is not much time to develop the technology, so after the end of this season, he must practice the technology in the offseason, spend the whole summer to polish the technology, so that when he reaches the peak of the theory, he can make the technology more sophisticated, so next summer there will definitely be no time to practice the training card, and can't miss the key progress period.
The S-level designated lottery cards cannot be left idle. Now is the season to defend the title.
As much as possible, the improvement is as much as possible.
After thinking about it, Sun Ce made a decision. As soon as he thought about it, the system prompt came.
"Host uses the S-level designated lottery card. Please specify the type. The specified types are: one-time props (special cards, star experience cards, etc.), long-term props (skill cards, action packs, training cards, etc.), off-field enhancement props..."
This classification is really different from what Sun Ce imagined!
Of course, props with long-term effects are required.
"Host chooses long-term props, randomly drawn... Congratulations to the host for winning the S-level action pack: Kobe Bryant Dunk Pack (S)."
"..."
Sun Ce was stunned when he saw this, and it took him a while to react-"This guy's dunk pack is also considered S-level? Wait, has he won the dunk contest championship?"
...
"Kobe Bryant Dunk Pack (S)", "Vince Carter Dunk Pack (S)".
Sun Ce looked at the two dunk bags and felt annoyed at first, but when he saw that the skill "Performance" was upgraded to level 3, he thought it seemed okay, and it was all right as long as he was handsome.
"Performance level 3: When the host tries to dunk and there is no defender under the basket, the host's bounce is temporarily increased by 4 small levels.
Note: It can be upgraded by equipping an S-level dunk bag. A maximum of 4 dunk bags can be equipped. The current number of dunk bags that can be equipped: 2, equipped dunk bags: Vince Carter dunk bag (S), Kobe Bryant dunk bag (S)."
After strengthening the core strength, his basic bounce is a quasi-first-class B+ level, the best among good bounces, but good, not good in the NBA, but after this skill is upgraded to level 3, it is different when dunking an empty basket, it can soar by 1 big level plus 1 small level to S-level!
Sun Ce felt the same as when he got Carter's dunk pack. He recalled the feeling of doing Carter's various Kuran moves in his mind. He "saw" himself using Kobe's dunk moves when he was young... It was beautiful!
In all aspects, Kobe's playing is good-looking, and his dunks are also very beautiful, mainly because he has many actual dunks, with 116 dunks in a single season.
And compared with Carter's dunk pack, Kobe has some dunks that Sun can do, such as breaking through the basket and facing the defense with a chest pull-up dunk. This is one of the best ways to dunk against the defense in NBA history. Compared with other dunks, this dunk requires not more jumping height and impact, but waist and abdomen strength, as well as timing...
It's a bit regrettable that I didn't draw the skill, but after analyzing it, Sun Ce thinks it's better than expected!
When he first saw Kobe's dunk bag, he immediately thought of Kobe, who has been running around and tearing the defense to catch the ball and shoot in the past two years. Kobe only had 28 dunks last season. The current Kobe has left a deep impression on Sun Ce. There is no need to block James' breakthrough by not entering the basket.
But when he saw Kobe's various flying dunks when he was young, he remembered that Lao Ke used to call him Peter Pan and Jordan's successor.
Practice some of Kobe's pull-up dunks more, and it may help with pull-up layups under the basket...
...
...
After a day of preparation, at 7:10 pm, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court.
When the visiting Lakers entered the court just now, Kobe received cheers.
Although Sun Ce also admired Kobe for playing for such a long 20 years and some of his achievements, he didn't know how the Knicks players survived when he heard fans cheering for other teams at his home court.
But it's not that he's unhappy, because he is very confident, which is the confidence brought by the achievements and honors over the years, and the emotions he feels from his teammates are the same.
Meeting Kobe on such a night, they are more eager to fight!
Winning first, limiting Kobe's scoring second, this is the common goal of Sun Ce and his teammates.
After entering the court, the players of the two teams exchanged greetings. Metta World Peace, who returned to the Lakers and was mainly responsible for helping Leonard further improve his defense, Kobe, the protagonist in the early stage of the new season, and Carter, the flying man of the Grizzlies, chatted together and boasted.
The TV live camera gave a close-up of the picture of these three people standing together. A certain Zhang Komi from the court station who did not want to reveal his name sighed: "There are fewer and fewer games between these three people. I really don't know who will retire first..."
These words triggered countless emotions.
When Sun Ce chatted with Carter before the game, he heard Carter talking about the things he played against Kobe when he was young, and the past when the two played more than 30 overtimes, and played seven or eight times. Sun Ce also sighed.
But after entering the court, Sun Ce focused on the game.
"James S+, offense S, defense A, passing S; Leonard S-, offense S-, defense S+; Kobe A, offense A+, defense B-; Williams A-, offense A+, defense C; Jeremy Lin A-, offense A, defense B; JR Smith B+..."
These are the six best players of the Lakers. The others are Mike Miller, Donatas Motiejunas, Ed Davis, Tarik Blake, Hibbert, Brandon Bass, Metta World Peace, Sacre, and Corey Brewer. Metta World Peace and Sacre are on the inactive list. Except for Mike Miller and Hibbert, the ability evaluation of other Lakers players is between B- and B levels.
Hibbert's C+ level ability evaluation surprised Sun Ce. At this pace, Hibbert may not be able to find a job next year after his big contract expires this season! He played 17 minutes per game, did not score in two games, and only grabbed 9 rebounds and completed 1 block in total.
The pre-match preparation time passed quickly, and at 7:28, the players of both teams came on the court.
Originally, Vogel didn't want to continue to give face to Hibbert, a player he had coached for many years. After the first two games, he wanted to withdraw him from the starting list, but because the opponent's center was tall, he still let Hibbert start tonight.
After wiping off the magnesium powder, Sun Ce walked onto the court and looked at the starting lineup of James, Kobe, Leonard, Brandon Bass, and Hibbert on the opposite side, mainly the opponent's outside three-man lineup. He was already excited and now he was even more eager to fight!
