Defending champion

Chapter 73

Due to a collision with Jack in the air, after landing, Odom staggered and his body was unstable. After staggering back two or three steps, he sat down on the floor embarrassingly, and the out of control The basketball was picked up by Chris Paul who came back to defend him.

Before "Lama" Odom dunked, he never thought that this sure-fire basketball would be slapped off.Moreover, it is still so straightforward!

The passion of the fans at the scene was ignited by Jack's "hot" hot pot. The fans' adrenal glands were constantly secreted, which brought the atmosphere of the fans to a G-spot.

"Dude, you have to say it's a nice hat, a nice crisp hat. It's fucking beautiful." Kenny Smith was spitting into the microphone.

Usually Kenny Smith suffers a lot from Charles Barkley.This time Jack gave him such a big slap, could Kenny be unhappy?

At this time, even Charles Barkley, who was as cheeky as a cowhide, was blushing and so sophisticated that he couldn't say a word.

Jack's wonderful performance also attracted the attention of Kobe Bryant sitting on the bench, but Kobe's face was still very cold. After a long time, Kobe uttered one word: good.

Of course, Jack on the court would not know that Kobe would have such an evaluation of him.Seeing the referee's whistle, he didn't think about it, and he ignored Odom who was sitting on the ground and stared at him fiercely.Ignored Odom directly, and went down quickly.I thought: What's the use of staring at me?Come cover me if you have the ability!

After Odom was directly ignored by Jack, suddenly, anger filled his entire chest.The eyes are full of raging flames, how long has someone covered him with such a big hat?If you don't take revenge, how can you swallow this breath?Odom couldn't blame the pain on his buttocks, jumped up from the ground, and quickly chased Jack. "Don't run away, kid, I won't let you go."

When Jack just returned to the three-point line, the Hornets had already completed the fast break. Paul went straight to Huanglong, directly killing the Lakers' penalty area, adding two points for the Hornets.

After Marsh Parker dribbled the ball for half court, Lama "Odom immediately came up to ask for the ball. After receiving the ball, "Lama" dribbled one step, and at the two-point arc, facing Jack's defense, took off directly A mid-range shot came.

There was a heavy sound of "bang", hitting the hearts of all the soldiers of the Lakers.The Hornets' rebound, after Paul received the pass from Du Hilton, without the slightest hesitation, he dribbled the ball and went down immediately, one-stop forcibly broke through Marsh Parker, and created Marsh Parker's defensive foul.

Paul stood on the free throw line. After making two free throws, the Hornets established a 32-point advantage in the second quarter 20 to 12.

Kobe, who was sitting in the rest area, really couldn't sit still this time. They will win this game no matter what.Before this, they had lost 4 games in a row. If they lost this game, the Lakers would face a five-game losing streak.If this game is lost, the Lakers will not even be able to keep their top eight status in the Western Conference.

Kobe spent his career with the Lakers, and he won three championship rings in a row.Kobe, who is used to the taste of victory, "4 consecutive losses" is already unforgivable.Therefore, it is said that Kobe will win this game of the Lakers no matter what.

Kobe had no choice but to give up the short rest time and go into battle again.Kobe played, to a certain extent, relieved the pressure on the Lakers' offense.

Kobe faced jr Smith's close press, an unreasonable three-pointer.

With a bang, Kobe gave it a steady hit.As soon as Kobe came up, he relieved the urgent need for the Lakers.

Jr Smith helplessly spread his hands and shrugged.Said that he had no choice but who called him Kobe?
The Hornets were connected by Chris Paul. Paul broke through Marsh Parker's defense and distributed the ball to Butler who was ambushing on the baseline.In this position, in normal times, Butler didn't know how many shots he made. After catching the ball, he directly pulled it up.He lived up to Paul's expectations.

With a bang, Butler hit the ball steadily.A score of 35 to 23 is still 12 points behind.

Kobe was in a hurry. After receiving the ball from Marsh Parker, he dribbled the ball alone for half the court.

At this time, anyone who has watched the Lakers game knows that Kobe is going to attack singles.

When Kobe dribbled the ball to the three-point line and there were two meters left, JR Smith immediately stepped forward to defend closely.

Facing JR Smith's close-fitting press, Kobe still seemed unhurried. Kobe took two steps back to dribble and adjusted.

JR Smith saw that Kobe had vacated the space, so he didn't dare to go up and press easily, as long as he was a little careless, he would be passed by Kobe.

However, jr Smith's immobility does not mean that Kobe is immobile. Kobe dribbles a high-arc dribble in front of his body.The basketball in his hand was pulled up by Kobe. The purpose of Kobe's doing so was entirely to attract the attention of defenders.

At this time, the center of gravity of jr Smith's defense has loosened, and the center of gravity of defense has moved a small step forward.That's more than enough for a breakout master.

An extremely fast change of hand and direction has come to the right hand.Kobe was about to rush forward, his body had already leaned forward slightly, and it seemed that he was about to stab forward.

JR Smith, who is also a shooting guard, was naturally very unconvinced by Kobe, and shouted: "Don't even think about passing!" JR Smith retracted his center of gravity, and quickly retracted his right leg that was moving to the right.

However, Kobe had already passed him by the time he finished this series of actions.The inside of the Hornets is very tight, and Kobe has already realized this.At the top of the two-point arc, Kobe had already risen from the ground and scored a shot with an emergency stop.

Even though the Hornets don't have an emperor-level basketball superstar like Kobe, the Hornets win in the team.

Jack comes up to set up a high pick-and-roll for Chris Paul, while the rest of the basketball team lays in ambush beyond the three-point line, ready to rush for a rebound or a point shot after a Paul drive.The division of labor of the Hornets is very good.

Paul relied on Jack's pick-and-roll to easily kill the Lakers' penalty area.Kwame Brown may have been woken up by Kobe's scolding just now.At this time, he actually knew how to defend in the past.Kwame Brown opened his hands, stood on the line of Paul's breakthrough and wanted his body to stop Paul.

A slight sneer appeared on Paul's face, and he shouted disdainfully, "Parallel importer, you haven't improved after playing for so many years!" After speaking, he threw the ball in the air.

People who don't know think Paul is crazy, you dare to shoot this kind of ball!What a mess.But in the next second, they found that they were wrong.

Jack shot out from midair, leaned his body in the air, suspended in the air, as if he had lost gravity, and dunked the ball into the basket.

Kobe's personal ability is indeed unmatched in the league.However, he suffers from not having a good teammate to help him.In the second quarter, except for Kobe, the rest of the Lakers felt frozen.

Kobe encountered three or even four double-teams and handed the ball to Walton, who was completely open, but the latter still couldn't throw the ball in.If you don't say anything once, but twice or three times, it means that the problem is serious.

Kobe also thought about relying on his teammates, but the effect was not good.

Kobe broke through and passed the ball to Odom who followed up. However, Odom may have played too late in the nightclub last night and lost the touch of dunking. Lama” Odom dunked the ball. up.

Kobe was surrounded by the three Hornets, and the ball was handed over to Kwame Brown. For some unknown reason, Kwame Brown still didn't make a mid-range rebound shot.

For his teammates, Kobe was speechless.Kobe couldn't stand watching the score being drawn point by point.Started his own Biao points mode.
