You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 724 Bloody Blow

For NBA players on strong teams, there is no Christmas break.

Just like the NFL has the Super Bowl and the NHL has the Winter Classic, the NBA also needs to have its own holiday games, and the Christmas game is born for this.

Being in a strong team, it is impossible to spend Christmas Eve with your family. They need games. They are more eager to rest at home than to come to the field game.

Luis M. Lore is a representative of them. The main reason why he wants to rest at home instead of playing away games is that he will not have much playing time tonight. Facing a strong enemy like the Lakers, his Playing time is bound to be limited.

While warming up, Mo Mengchen paid attention to the situation of the Lakers.

This Lakers team is very different from last season's Lakers team.

After the finals of last season, Glenn Rice's contract expired, and the Lakers had no intention of keeping him. The two sides broke up peacefully. Then, a man named Isiah Ryder came to Angel City.

For the defending champion, this is blind speculation. The Lakers management has no idea whether they can guarantee that they will not be choked to death when they are speculating and selling.

Phil Jackson, who knows how to handle prickly heads, is of course always confident: compared to the madness of his old man who hooked up with Fraser in the 70s, and the fashion gentleman and super prickly head Rhodes in the 90s Man, this Ryder brother is only at the level of their apprentices, and has not made any breakthroughs and innovations in the field of causing trouble.

In addition to Ryder, there are others joining.

The meritorious veteran of the Bulls' first dynasty, Horace Grant, one of the first Big Three, chose to fall into the arms of the old coach, chasing the championship for the last time in his career.

Cobra ran away from the Bulls after 93, and his new partner was Shark, who was still in the Magic. After eliminating Jordan, who had just come back in 95, he was lifted up by the Magic to circle the field for a week.

In fact, everyone knows that the Lakers' power forwards can be described as joyful and worrying: as long as the opponent's low-post ability is not so good, then Horry can play small forwards under the name of power forwards, wandering around at will, From time to time, quietly giving the opponent a gentle knife, Mr. AC Green can continue to play his soy sauce and continue to refresh his records related to the number of appearances. Al Harrington can continue to grow and develop, and one day support half of the sky in California , Sharks can be completely covered by one person in the penalty area.

If it is said that the increase in the depth of power forwards has made the Lakers' dominance stronger, the rise of another person has made OK this season show an unstoppable spirit.

Kobe was originally scheduled to get married this summer, but the loss in the finals made him choose to postpone the wedding. The media asked when he would get married, and Peter Pan made a great wish: The day I lead the Lakers to win the cup is the day I marry Vanessa.

Because of the word "My rate", there was a commotion in Los Angeles. Some people thought that Kobe was unwilling to be a junior and peeked at O'Neal's boss status, while others thought it was just an unintentional remark.

The media had been arguing for a whole summer, but neither Kobe nor O'Neal had anything else to say, and time passed quietly.

After the start of the season, Kobe began to hand over the transcripts of his hard training for a summer.

Throughout November, Bryant averaged 11 shots per game. By December, this data came to 21.5 times.In contrast, there is a crazy increase in score.After the first two months, Kobe averaged 12 points per game.

In Mo Mengchen's view, this is an extraordinary moment.

In the first decade of the 21st century, the most dominant scorer was Kobe Bryant.

For the first time in his career, he appeared at the top of the NBA scoring list.Although it is still some time before the craziest year of his wanton killings, this is undoubtedly an exciting moment, because from this moment on, Kobe really became what most people think of Kobe: a scorer.

Kobe's career was full of changes almost every year, but this change at the end of 2000 was a great qualitative change: from this moment on, Kobe found the most suitable court role for him after four years in the industry.

The increase in the number of shots symbolizes that Kobe has begun to evolve into a real superstar, but the shadow of the Lakers has also taken shape.

Kobe is only the No. 2 male of the Lakers. Secondly, although the Sharks failed to lead the Lakers to the championship last season, they have already opened the eyes of the world to his energy and physique. Secondly, Zen Master has begun to be a little uncomfortable with Kobe who is becoming more and more selfish.And then again, many people have already started asking each other: Did Kobe vote today?

"Did Kobe shoot?" is often read as "Did Kobe take more than 25 shots tonight?".

You know, there is no team that will let the second brother take more shots than the boss, unless the boss is as selfless as Dor. most players.

The media in Los Angeles discussed it to the end and concluded that it was very inappropriate for the 22-year-old Kobe to appear at the top of the scoring list at this time.

Except for Kobe himself and Mo Mengchen, no one supported him to continue this crazy behavior.

Tonight, in the Christmas game, O'Neill took the initiative to ask the Zen master: "Unless I ask for it, don't replace me!"

The lessons the Pistons taught him are unforgettable for his life, and O'Neal spent the most diligent summer of his life because of this.

Now, the game is about to begin.

The Lakers are strong and strong.

Starting Fisher, Kobe, Ryder, Harrington and O'Neal.

For the Pistons, Jerome Williams replaced Rashid, who was automatically suspended for one game due to a cumulative total of 16 technical fouls, and the rest of the positions remained unchanged.

"The players are already in place."

There are three commentators sitting in the commentary booth, they are Kevin Harlan, Danny Angie and John Thompson.

Except for Angie, the other two have played in the commentary industry for many years, and they are golden voices that fans love to see.

Regarding the outcome of tonight's game, the three commentators put the banner of victory on the Lakers regardless of whether they were biased or not.

Even Angie, who came from the Celtics, thought the Lakers would definitely win tonight.

"Rashid cannot play. This is a defect that cannot be ignored." Ainge said, "Strong teams compete, and one more strong point or one less strong point may determine the direction of the entire game."

The surprise started with the jump ball. Although O'Neal caught the ball, the ball did not fall into the hands of the Lakers.

Hill is very alert, and after judging the landing point of the ball, he moves quickly, gets the ball in his hand, turns around and launches a fast break.

"The Pistons are good at it!"

The world knows that the Pistons like to get off to a quick start, and the boos that erupted at Staples Center after Hill got the ball felt like the end of the world, a bunch of hopeless people.

"I'll fucking kill you!"

Isaiah Ryder's mouth was full of saliva and swear words. Just after he spat out this trash talk, Devil Mountain turned sideways and threw his defense behind him in a blink of an eye.

Hill's offense was about to go deep, inside, the referee whistled.

In the opening 15 seconds, Ben Wallace received an off-ball foul.

With the cheers at the scene and Wallace's inexplicable spread of hands, Hill had to put the ball down, and Mo Mengchen remained silent.

He doesn't know what happened inside, but Wallace was called a foul at the beginning, which is not good news for the Pistons. When Rasheed can't play, Wallace is the only inside they can slightly limit O'Neal. I was called out for fouls at the beginning, and the subsequent games will become more and more difficult.

The big sharks also found the opportunity, as if they smelled blood, they took the initiative to ask for a position, and Kobe took the ball and lobbed it in.

O'Neal yelled violently, turned around to suppress Wallace with his height and weight, and made a delicate small hook in the paint. Unfortunately, the feel was not very good, and he hit the side of the basket and flew out.

Sitting at home, the ferocious and vengeful Purple and Gold Corps launched a fierce attack on the rebound. Ryder is a villain on and off the court, but he is really desperate to play, full of aggressiveness like a devil, He raised his hand and hit Hill with a dark elbow, grabbed the rebound ferociously, and threw it to Kobe on the outside.

Kobe took the ball and scored a three-pointer.

"First goal of the night, from Kobe Bryant!"

3 is better than 0
Hill rubbed his shoulder lightly, obviously being elbowed hard.

"If you can't deal with him, I can help you." Mo Mengchen handed the ball to Hill with a condescending tone.

Hill stared dissatisfiedly, what do you mean you can't deal with him?
Ryder barked his teeth and claws at Hill, while Mo Mengchen gestured for others to open space for Hill.

In the low position on the right side, Hill hit Ryder twice, and Kobe's double-team was about to be in place. Devil Mountain's body twisted like a hemp rope. , and the shot was made.

2 is better than 3
"Give me the ball!"

An angry Ryder rushed to Bryant for the ball, but was ignored.

Kobe completely forgot that he was able to hit the opening three-pointer because of Ryder's pass. He held the ball and wanted to break through, but the Pistons' defense was quite consistent. corner him.

Only at this time, Kobe will think about passing the ball.

Even the media in Los Angeles thinks he is selfish, but he feels that what he gets now is what he deserves, and no one can take it away.

In desperation, Kobe made a pass.

Passing is dangerous when cornered.

"Dor.Mo steals it!~" Accompanied by Harlan's high voice, the Piston's counterattack launched like lightning.

Ryder's return defense is very active. This hateful villain is still willing to be taken in by the team in such a bad situation. It has nothing to do with his style on the court.

Mo Mengchen deliberately waited until Ryder caught up, and cast a cold glance.

Ryder only felt a terrible breath approaching.The next second, Mo Mengchen suddenly stopped and made a shooting motion. Ryder, who was chasing up, couldn't stop at all, and hit Dor.Mo's left elbow head-on.

A bloody blow hit his nose, the referee blew his whistle, and Mo Mengchen dunked.

Ryder clutched his nose, bleeding profusely.

Mo Mengchen grabbed the basket with one hand and looked down at his opponent indifferently, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
