Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 139 O'Neal's Free Throw
The coach of the Suns stared at the court dumbfounded. After a while, he covered his eyes, lowered his head, and sighed.

Is this still my player?He was just an illusion, so he fell four or five meters away.

At this time, the focus of the whole audience fell on that guy. He was near the middle circle on the right, slowly got up, and ran towards Ling Yu calmly.However, Ling Yu has been slowed down, and has already thrown the ball out, a hollow into the net, and scored another 2 points for the Lakers.

"You were lucky just now." The guy said coldly: "If not, I will definitely prevent you to death."

Ling Yu was stunned again, staring at the man in astonishment, and said in his heart: "This guy fell like that, but he has the nerve to provoke him, he's too thick-skinned."

Ling Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Let's talk when you stand firm."

At this time, Ling Yu suddenly thought of something, oh, he picked up his suitcase and said: "If you can still stay on the court, maybe I can teach you how to walk."

"Hmph." The man drank it unconvinced, and said, "That is."

Before finishing speaking, the coach of the Suns called a timeout, waved his hand at the man, and signaled him to come down.

"Oh. It seems that I can't teach you." Ling Yu pretended to be disappointed and said: "Work harder in the future, and you will be able to stand firm. I will take a step first."

After speaking, Ling Yu did not forget to make a goodbye gesture, and then ran back to the backcourt.

The man froze for a moment, then walked away muttering, couldn't help but glared at the coach, as if he was very angry why he had to be replaced, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

The Suns coach froze again, glanced at the guy, his face darkened, and he said softly, "Not convinced?"

The guy was straightforward and said without any concealment: "I played well, why should I be replaced, I don't understand."

The words were astonishing again, the Suns bench was filled with an atmosphere of astonishment, and everyone's faces were full of weird expressions.

The coach of the Suns was stunned for a moment, looked up and down the house, then shook his head helplessly, said nothing more, turned to face the others, and said, "Let's talk tactics!"

As he said that, he ignored that guy and arranged tactics.

Here, the Lakers are also simply making tactical arrangements. In fact, there is nothing to change, just remind other people to support, open up the gap for Ling Yu, and give him the ball.

The two sides made a simple arrangement and returned to the court. "Brother Sanbuzhan" is now relaxed, sitting leisurely on the sidelines, drinking water and taking energy potions, he is extremely comfortable, and there is no complaint on his face just now, at first glance, only a peaceful look color.

This guy can't be Bynum's uncle, right?

When the timeout expired and the game started, the Suns attacked, served the ball from the sideline, handed it over to Kidd, and went to the frontcourt.However, since the Lakers adopted a triangle position to switch defenses, although Ling Yu was blocked by the screen, Horry made up for it again, forming a one-on-one formation.

Facing the defense of the Lakers, Kidd was very uncomfortable. He asked for two screens from his center in succession but failed to rush through, so he had to make an emergency stop and jump shot.

Or he didn't wash his hands before the game, Kidd's hand felt terrible in the second half, and the ball was missed again, but fortunately, the rebound bounced out and returned to his hands.

This time, Kidd had no intention of breaking through the dribble at all, and he shot directly when he got it, another mid-range shot.A graceful arc went straight to the basket.

"Shua!" Finally entered this time.However, looking back, Ling Yu's direct three-pointer from the outside line was also hollowed into the net and returned one.

With Kidd's opening of the ball just now, the Suns felt a lot of opening. Under the influence of Kidd, others also opened the pot, making mid-range shots, three-pointers, and 5 consecutive throws. It seems that this It's the momentum to chase points!
However, when the Suns scored at this point, the Lakers would always switch back in the next round of offense. Here they hit 5 consecutive hits, and the Lakers even hit 6 consecutive hits, pulling the score to 17 points. .The coach of the Suns saw that the game was about to end in more than 7 minutes, so he hurriedly called a timeout, rearranged a tactic, and fought again.

It is not impossible to chase 7 points in more than 17 minutes. As long as one's offense can be opened up and the defense can limit the opponent, a reversal is inevitable.

After the timeout, Kidd ran up the frontcourt as soon as he got the ball, and with the cover of his teammates, he directly shot a three-pointer.Maybe the touch came back, this time the shot, the basketball hit the net and recovered 3 points for the Suns. In the next round, the Lakers failed to complete the offense. The rebound was taken by the Suns and handed over to Kidd to kill.

"Do you still want to come?"

Ling Yu drank lightly in his heart, and followed without hesitation.When Kidd saw Ling Yu coming up from behind, he hurriedly turned around, stopped his pace and turned around, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a summoning gesture to his teammates.

"It's over!"

Another cover, another shot.However, this time, Ling Yu didn't let what happened just now happen again. He used his keen sense of smell to predict the cover that Kidd asked for, and then rushed forward.

However, Ling Yu didn't rush to Kidd, but rushed to the man who was covering him, tripped his foot on the man, and fell out.

The whistle sounded, the Suns screened for a foul, and the Lakers had the ball.

Seeing the referee awarded the ball to him, Ling Yu got up comfortably and ran towards the sideline.

"This guy flopped."

The Suns coach yelled at the referee unwillingly, kept spreading his hands and muttering about something.

The referee replied coldly and said, "I don't care if he really flopped, but your player committed a foul and moved his feet."

"damn it."

The coach of the Suns knows that his players are covering fouls, but he is not happy with Ling Yu's contented expression.

Back in the game, it was the Lakers attacking again, and Ling Yu was still taking the ball from the outside, dribbling carefully, hovering at the top of the arc, standing in front of Kidd, the two sharp-edged figures, but, this night, it was destined to be Ling Yu. Yu is sharper.

He looked around, looked serious, and dribbled the ball very loosely.However, Kidd could not be sloppy, and his expression was extremely serious, his eyes fixed on Ling Yu.

Ling Yu frowned, and he accelerated to move to the left, and Kidd did not leave an inch to defend himself.Near the 45-degree angle on the left, Ling Yu retreated with his left hand, dribbled the ball behind his back, switched to the right, and ran to the right with his body.

However, Kidd seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the crab moved to the right, completely blocking Ling Yu.However, Ling Yu didn't really intend to rush to the right. With his left foot as the axis, he turned left, changed hands, and then went to the bottom of the basket.

Kidd was not prepared for such a sudden turn around, Ling Yu passed by, and seeing that Ling Yu was about to speed up, in desperation, Kidd had no choice but to make a foul and send Ling Yu to the free throw line.

The two free throws were made steadily, and the point difference came to 15 points, and the time was only 5 minutes and 03 seconds, and the Suns had the ball.

This is the rhythm to fight. The Suns accelerated the pace of offense and rushed forward.

Mid-range shot, three-pointer, breakthrough.
However, this night was destined to belong to the Lakers, and the Suns were in a muddle.On the contrary, the bigger the Lakers are, the smoother they are. Although the shooting rate is not high, compared with the Suns, it is still nothing.With 5 of 15 shots in the last 7 minutes, the Lakers maintained their lead until the last second. The Lakers won the third game without any risk and took the initiative back to their own hands.

Of course, the star of the game was Ling Yu. He played 34 minutes and made 17 of 13 shots. He scored 29 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Such a performance is a well-deserved victory for the Lakers. hero.

As soon as the game ended, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles non-stop to prepare for the next game.

Players are busy training, and the media is busy touting.In the last game, Ling Yu was still accusing Ling Yu of not being able to take on the important role of the core leader of the team. After this game, he kept talking nonsense.

“Heroes of Los Angeles!!”

"No. [-] shooting guard in the Western Conference!"

What's more, he put the title of the league's first shooting guard on Ling Yu's head.

It can be seen how powerful the media is. "How bold people are, how productive the land is"!

Ling Yu just smiled lightly at this. Although he wanted to be the number one shooting guard in his heart, he knew Jordan's divine ability and respect for Jordan in his heart. He didn't care about these flattery at all. Very disgusted.

In the next game, the Lakers will face the challenge of the Suns at home. For them, this is a good thing.However, the most gratifying thing is that O'Neal should be back in the next game, and the league's top center should be all-powerful again.

On the second day after returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers practiced collectively again. One was to let O'Neal, who had been absent from the battlefield for a long time, find out the feeling, and the other was to arrange drills for Dell's paid tactics, and this tactic was to be used in the next game. adopted.

"Shaq." Del yelled at O'Neill and walked over.

O'Neill then stopped what he was doing, gasping for breath, staring at Del with a smile.

Del wiped his mouth lightly, and said lightly, "Shaq, you're going to practice free throws later."

"Ha ha!"

When O'Neal heard the free throw, he laughed and said, "My free throw is great. Those guys are not my opponents."

"Shaq." Del's face darkened, and he said seriously, "I'm not kidding you."

O'Neal was an optimist, he laughed again, and said easily, "I'm not kidding. I've been practicing free throws every day these days, and I've improved a lot."

Are you practicing every day?
Del looked at O'Neill strangely, with disbelief on his face.

"I don't believe it!" O'Neill stood up "whoosh" and walked towards the court, not forgetting to say, "I'll show you the penalty."

Del was stunned for a moment, and followed suit.

Maybe it was really practiced, 50 free throws, O'Neal actually made 46 free throws, which was enough to surprise everyone, Del was not immune to it, he looked at O'Neal in disbelief, and his breathing seemed to be blocked for a moment.

"See it!" O'Neal laughed foolishly, his face full of complacency.

Only then did Del come to his senses, but he felt a little unbelievable. He looked O'Neill up and down like a monster, thought for a long time, and looked serious.

"Shaq, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"
