Chapter 185 The Heat scored first and the Lakers broke the game
Snapped!
Wade's layup was pressed by Kobe's hands on the backboard.

In this start, the two sides scored no points, but the fans shook their hands nervously.

The OK duo showed strong determination in defense.

As you can imagine, this game will be extremely intense.

Kobe accepts the basketball and the Lakers attack.

Kobe didn't intend to pass the ball. His desire to attack tonight was extremely strong, and he continued to fight against the old Jones.

Wade, who had just had a big hot pot, helped defend in time.

Kobe is one-on-two and still has no intention of passing the ball.

Old Jones has experience, Wade has the body, and the two blocked all of Kobe's shots.

For ordinary people, they were forced to stop.

But this is Kobe.

Relying on agile footsteps, Kobe kept dancing, turning left, turning right, retreating, and stepping forward... He abruptly gained valuable shot space from the pincers of Jones and Wade, and made a pick shot.

But this ball is a bit more difficult.

Jones and Wade's defense was also very tough, and Kobe's shot came out of the frame.

Bang!

Bryant went 2 for 0 from the field.

O'Neal squeezed Cato away, protected the backboard and held it firmly in his hands.

The Heat attack.

Wade broke through to the frontcourt and dropped the ball to O'Neal in the low post.

Kobe jumped up in an instant to help Cato defend O'Neal.

O'Neal didn't have a chance to make a phone call, so he could only distribute the ball.

Old Jones catches and shoots.

But Kobe rushed out desperately, and the shooting opportunity was fleeting.

Kobe relied on his positive defensive attitude and excellent defensive skills to complete a "one defense two".

Old Jones could only continue to hand over.

The ball returned to Wade's hands.

Wade chose to attack by himself this time.

Defending him is Kaba (Caron Butler).

Kaba is a very gentle person, but his physical fitness is exceptionally strong.

It is worth mentioning that his defensive ability has improved a lot in the past two seasons.

Wade changed direction and failed to break through Kabbah, and the two collided.

Bang!
The sound of muscle clashing is clearly audible.

"what!"

Wade was also tough, roaring, and forced his shot against Kabbah's hand-to-hand combat.

Bang!

Unfortunately, this ball is not easy.The basketball hit the front edge of the hoop and popped out.

Still 0:0.

From the very beginning of this game, they showed a particularly high defensive intensity, and every ball was a hand-to-hand fight.

Although no points were scored, the fans watched excitedly.

As expected of the Christmas War!
"In such a fierce battle, I don't know which team can score first. This is very important for momentum!"

Mike Breen explained.

Johnson and Wharton looked at each other, filled with smoke.

The battle on the court is fierce, and the commentary booth is also hiding murderous intentions.

I have to say that ESPN's arrangement is really in place.

Johnson represents the Lakers, and Walton supports the Heat, which is worth seeing.

Lakers offense.

Kobe continued to attack with the ball.

Jones Sr. and Wade decisively double-teamed.

This time, the two were more determined, and even increased the intensity of confrontation once again.

Kobe turned around continuously and couldn't find an opportunity, so he was forced to pass the ball.

Odom serves as the second point of possession to reorganize the offense.

It was Li Lei who defended Odom.

"I'm coming!"

In front of the CCTV camera, Zhang Weiping shouted knowingly.

Su Qun is a team reporter for the Heat. At this time, he is giving some daily science popularization to Chinese fans.

"The relationship between Stone and Odom is very good. They have been partners in the strike line last season. Fans can also see that Odom has always passed good balls to Li Lei on the offensive end. Li Lei often gives Odom the defensive end. Wipe your ass."

But now, the two are rivals.

Odom dribbles the ball flexibly, and the 208cm big man is as flexible as a small guard, ready to go.

And Li Lei put on a defensive posture and took the initiative to press, forcing Odom to play from the right.

The two of them are too familiar.

Li Lei knows that Odom is left-handed, after all, he is nicknamed "Left-Handed Magician".

Odom's left hand is very scary, but his right hand ability is very average, and it is easy to make mistakes.

Odom was forced to have no choice but to play very uncomfortable. At the last moment, he forced a shot and made a three-point shot.

Haslem protected the basketball and the ball returned to the Heat.

Tang Shuai on the sidelines frowned, he understood Riley's intentions.

Kobe is the core of the Lakers, and Odom is Kobe's most important helper.

Riley asked Li Lei to defend Odom in order to use Li Lei's understanding of Odom to strangle Odom and leave Kobe alone.

"Old Fox!"

Tang Shuai scolded in his heart.

Wade received the ball and wanted to make a fast break, but was directly entangled by Kobe and pressed frantically.

Wade couldn't pass the ball, so he had to give up this fast break, and the Heat fell to the ground.

Facing Kabbah, Wade still couldn't find a flaw.

Seeing this, Li Lei took the initiative to do a pick-and-roll.

The Lakers chose to switch defenses.

Odom followed Wade.

Wade accelerated directly, and his speed was enough to deal with Odom.

No matter how flexible the 208cm Odom is, he couldn't keep up with Wade, and he was passed cleanly.

Wade rose from the ground and bombed the basket.

But Cato, who was under the basket, had been waiting for a long time and slapped Wade with a big slap.

A tank center like Cato's ability to protect the frame is off the charts.

Under the awe of Cato, Wade still missed the shot.

Bang!

rebound!
There were 7 or 8 people gathered under the basket, pushing and shoving, it was like a meat grinder.

A giant like O'Neal can't get any benefits.

If a player with a weaker body gets in, he probably has to lie down and come out.

Everyone rushed to grab the basketball, and the basketball was moved back and forth above everyone's heads. In the end, no one grabbed it, and the basketball bounced out instead.

Li Lei rushed over.

Relying on his sense of smell on the rebound, Li Lei judged the rebound's landing point and grabbed the ball into his hands.

But Kabbah jumped out in an instant, blocking Li Lei's shooting space.

In this game, there were no easy shots.

Every ball has to be hand-to-hand.

At this moment, the additional effect of rebounding smell (intermediate level) was triggered.

At the moment of grabbing a rebound, the host's field of vision is temporarily improved, and teammates with better positions can be found.

Li Lei started to hang up. He was keenly aware that the old Jones quietly retreated from the basket and touched the corner on the other side.

opportunity!

Li Lei tricked Kabbah with a false throw and threw the ball over.

Old Jones received the ball and it was an open spot.

He adjusted and shot.

The basketball crossed a parabola and passed through the frame.

Swish!
Have it.

3: 0.

Jones Sr. opened the scoring for the Heat.

Riley, who seemed to be calm and calm, clenched his fists instantly, showing joy on his face.

Finally got it.

As Mike Breen said, in such a fierce defensive battle, who can score first is very important.

Bill Walton had a winner's smile.

Magic Johnson's face was not very good, but he quickly recovered his smile: "That kid has a good passing awareness, and he is a good rookie."

It's just a ball, don't worry about it!
This is what Johnson really meant.

Lakers offense.

still none.

They fell into a scoring drought.

In turn, the Heat attacked and Haslem missed a shot, but O'Neal grabbed an offensive rebound and smashed the ball into the basket.

5: 0.

The Heat played more and more smoothly. In the next round, Wade broke through the Super League and turned around to shake off Kabbah, and Grant, who was defending against the defense, made a layup.

7: 0.

The sound of the Staples Center arena is getting quieter, and the Los Angeles fans are a little quiet.

The start of the Lakers was blown up.

Drip!

Tang Shuai called a timeout.

Kobe was double-teamed, Odom was frozen by Li Lei, the Lakers must have someone else to stand up and score.

Back from the timeout, Kabbah attacked with the ball.

Cato mentioned the high position to do a pick-and-roll, but O'Neal didn't follow.

Kabbah took the opportunity to enter the paint area.

Haslem jumped out to defend, and the two met shirtless.

Facing Haslem, Kabbah did not retreat but advanced, and directly rose up against Haslem, forcing a mid-range shot.

A head-to-head confrontation between two tough guys.

The ball was a bit difficult. Kabbah couldn't control his hand shape when he shot, and the basketball hit the basket and bounced high.

Bang!

But just as everyone was waiting for the rebound, the basketball fell at a high speed and passed through the hoop steadily.

Swish!
A balloon.

7: 2.

Kabbah finally broke the scoring drought for the Lakers.

"Roar!"

Kaba clenched his fists and roared, very excited.

This ball is very important.

The Lakers have been pushed to the bottom by the Heat and are about to suffocate.

This ball is equivalent to giving the Lakers a pipe and breathing fresh air again.

The Heat failed to knock down the Lakers at once, and the Lakers' counterattack immediately swept through.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei's long shot missed under Odom's interference.

Cato received the defensive rebound and the Lakers attacked.

The Heat still insisted on the strategy of double-teaming Kobe, and did not change the strategy just because of Kabbah's dribble.

Kabbah took advantage of this opportunity and hit another three-pointer.

Swish!
7: 5.

Kabbah scored 5 points in a row to help the Lakers bite the score.

It can be seen with the naked eye that Kabbah's strength is stronger than that of the same period in history.

Historically, Kabbah played as a starter in the second season. He had to share the ball with Odom, Wade, and Jones. There were not many opportunities, and the data dropped compared to his rookie season.

But now, because of Li Lei's existence, Kabbah has played as a substitute, and he handles the ball during the rotation time alone.

With more opportunities, Kabbah achieved results earlier, and the best sixth man is his affirmation.

This season when he came to the Lakers, Kabbah's scoring and rebounding were similar to his rookie season, but his efficiency has improved a bit.

This season, he shot 46.5% from the field, 33.7% from three-pointers, and 88.1% from free throws. He was definitely efficient at the beginning of the century.

Kabbah scored 5 points in a row and was in a hot state.

More importantly, because of Kabbah's excellent state, the Heat did not dare to double-team Kobe.

In the next round, Kobe singled the old Jones and hit a fadeaway jumper.

Swish!
7:7 level.

The Lakers scored 7 points in a row and abruptly brought the game back to the original point.

The Los Angeles fans celebrated wildly, and the cheers almost knocked the ceiling of the arena.

The Lakers are on the move.

The Heat attack.

Wade passed the ball to his teammates, and Kabbah suddenly became more intense, causing Wade's pass to be a bit off.

Kobe had sharp eyes and quick hands, and he broke out halfway, stealing the basketball.

Afterwards, Kobe rushed to the frontcourt in a one-stop manner, and went straight up, a 180-degree reflexive folding dunk in the air.

boom!
7: 9.

The Lakers took the lead.

Kobe's actual dunk is gorgeous, which directly ignited the passion of Los Angeles fans.

Kobe No. 8 is really flying into the sky!
Many fans jumped up and cheered loudly for the Lakers.

"Kobe, you are the only king in Los Angeles!"

"The new king of Los Angeles, ascend the throne tonight!"

"Opang's era has passed, let us look forward to the next beautiful era."

……

Bryant's die-hard fan Oscar winner Jack Nicholson danced excitedly.

And all this in O'Neill's heart, one knife after another.
