Chapter 275: 273. Kobe Bryant Time
After Liu Mang played, the Lakers' defense changed. Kobe came to guard Liu Mang, Fisher went to defend Jason Terry, and Raheem was still defended by Fox.
With the experience of fighting twice, Kobe's fear of Liu Mang has reached a level second only to the other three of the four major shooting guards.
Raheem got off to a good start, Jason Terry advanced and gave it to Raheem, and Raheem continued to play singles.
"I miss the ball every day, why are you defending me? Look, Sharif is going to score again." Liu Mang really couldn't get rid of Kobe's defense, so he just stood at a 45-degree angle and watched Raheem's singles, just pull Kobe away. Yes, but it should be sprayed.
However, Kobe has already resisted Liu Mang's trash talk, and said in a very soft tone: "Ace, I heard from Tracy that your salary is only more than 400,000 yuan? Look at the salary that Rahim gets. Your more than forty times, I really feel unfair for you."
Ay ay ay ay ay... Ace?
Liu Mang was intimidated by Kobe's address. Didn't this guy always call himself a rookie, or a brat, or a jerk, or a villain?
Also, are the grievances in the back sowing discord?
This is exactly what the young master really thinks in his heart!
At this time, Raheem just forced Fox to go inside and hit a layup. Liu Mang turned back to defend and said to Kobe: "You are so right. I have always envied Sharif for getting so much salary, but it seems Your salary is not as high as Sharif, it seems to be only half of O'Neill's?"
Damn rookie! Another waste of saliva!
After halftime, Kobe first ran to the inside, then suddenly stopped and turned back to the top arc to receive a pass from Fisher, and Liu Mang made a three-pointer in front of the save.
Before Liu Mang could react, Kobe made the shot.
So treacherous!
It was always a low position before, but this time it suddenly made a counter-run!
What Liu Mang didn't know was that Kobe had watched the video of his game against the Spurs two days ago, and had a deep fear of his strength.
Although Liu Mang was weak when Kobe played against Liu Mang for the first time, but at the All-Star Weekend, Liu Mang also improved himself by relying on the Iverson star card bonus, at least a good level of strength.
Often when many rookies enter the NBA, there will be a rookie wall or something. Not a small part of them are because they cannot quickly adapt to NBA-level confrontation, but they will become stronger if they get used to it. This is very common. Kobe was 17 years ago. This was the case when I entered the NBA at the age of 2, and I got used to it after two years.
And there are also Liu Mang who are very adaptable from the beginning and quickly get used to NBA-level confrontation.
Just after Kobe made the shot, Jason Terry went down quickly!
Liu Mang was stunned by the shot, and immediately followed up quickly, rushing to the bottom corner of the frontcourt, Kobe chased towards Jason Terry, Jason Terry scored the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang made a three-pointer Points hit in return.
Compared with Kobe's shot, Liu Mang's shot was too easy.
Looking back at the Lakers' offense, Kobe continued to single Liu Mang.
Compared with Raheem, Liu Mang did put a lot less pressure on Kobe in the confrontation, which surprised Kobe. The confrontation was not as strong as expected, or was Stephen Jackson really that weak?
However, Liu Mang's enthusiasm, speed advantage, and sloppy defense are very effective in defending Kobe. Kobe's pick-and-roll is not easy to get rid of Liu Mang, and Kobe's shooting percentage begins to decline.
The Hawks played fast today. Without Ratliff, they would have been unable to defend on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, when the three eaglets were on the court, they played much better than when Ratliff was there.
When he fell into position, Raheem would play singles, Kobe was going to mark Liu Mang, and when Fox or Horry, who came off the bench, defended, Raheem was very efficient in singles.
After running, the Lakers are even more vulnerable. Without O'Neal, who averages four offensive rebounds per game and can often help his teammates get stuck, the Lakers are not as strong as the Eagles in terms of offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds. Muhammad and Muhammad are both players averaging double figures in rebounds per game. They also lost a big center who is stuck in a fierce position, and the Eagles still have an advantage.
After Liu Mang came up, with a faster offensive engine and more accurate three-pointers, the Eagles quickly caught up with the score at the end of the first quarter!
After the first quarter, the two teams tied at 35!
Unable to defend, the offensive efficiency of both teams is very high!
Compared with the loss of Ratliff by the Eagles, it is obvious that the loss of O'Neal by the Lakers has greatly reduced their strength!
Even if Kobe scored 13 points and 5 assists in the first quarter, he couldn't withstand the indiscriminate bombing of the three All-Stars of the Eagles.
...
By the second quarter, Kobe could no longer suppress his desire to shoot.
Pass?
no more! Even this group of teammates can't make the shot!
The role players of the Lakers have always been good, but after Kobe entered the Lakers, there has never been a perfect open shooter like Korver, the late Ray Allen, Battier, Mike Miller, etc. When the Lakers When the team has at least two superstars, relying on both superstars being able to attract double-teams, open shooters have enough time to shoot slowly, they can have a good shooting percentage, but when only Kobe is left alone, the Lakers The strength of the team is about the same as the three seasons of 2005-07. At that time, there was Odom at least, but now there is no Odom.
After the start of the second quarter, Kobe began to play hard!
Fuck the tactics, just hold the ball and shoot!
After coming up, Kobe rushed to the basket with the ball, and didn't care about Liu Mang's ability to block shots at the basket. He went to the three-second zone against Liu Mang and forced a layup to score 2+1 against the three-team.
Liu Mang turned around and wanted to fight back. He was anxious, but was intercepted by Kobe's fierce pounce!
Kobe dribbled to the frontcourt by himself, accelerated to the middle distance, and did not get rid of the double-teaming of Liu Mang and Jason Terry. Liu Mang received a reminder from Kobe's second quarter, and Kobe's stubbornness has been triggered. , knowing that he would shoot next, so he directly called Jason Terry to double-team Kobe, but Kobe shot against the two and hit again from the mid-range!
This kind of ball is too frustrating for defensive players!
Immediately afterwards, Kobe made another three-pointer with a chasing body, and scored 8 points in a row in one minute. On behalf of the Lakers and the Eagles, he personally played a wave of 8 to 2!
In just one minute and eight seconds, Kobe came up with a wave of onslaught and stopped the Eagles!
It was not the coach who called the timeout, but Liu Mang, who had received the serve and advanced halfway.
Players and coaches with the ball can both call a timeout.
"What's the matter, Ace, what's wrong?" Coach Kruger didn't expect Liu Mang to call a timeout, and Liu Mang asked concerned immediately after returning to the bench.
Although he scolded and wanted to fight, Coach Kruger really cared about Liu Mang, the student he brought into the NBA from college.
"It's okay, I just want to disrupt that guy's rhythm." Liu Mang replied.
Just after Kobe scored three goals in a row, the system prompt came again.
"Ding... Kobe time trigger, from Kobe Bryant."
Seeing that Kobe is going to prosper, I don't know if calling a timeout will be effective. Anyway, Popovich's way of dealing with Kobe is not very effective, but he has to try. It is clear that Kobe has started to day.
"??" Coach Kruger didn't expect Liu Mang to be so rational!
Aren't young people always getting hit with a few balls, and they are about to come back right away?
If Liu Mang knew what coach Kruger was thinking, he would definitely give a look of contempt, of course it would be secretly.
joke!
That's Kobe! Others don't know that Kobe is about to go berserk, but Liu Mang has a system prompt to make it clear!
For the time being, there is really no one on the Hawks team who can compete with Kobe, let alone the runaway Kobe. He can win a team with 62 to 61 people, and he is still the guy with the number one record in the league like the Mavericks!
Happy new year, happy new year, I wish you all a happy new year~ Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes...
