Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 166
After O’Neill came down, Duncan just glanced at him lightly, without any expression.
Nash ran over to Duncan and said in a low voice, “Tim, wait a moment and watch my pass.”
“Ok.”
Duncan nodded, reaching out to touch Nash’s long flowing hair, and Nash avoided him flexibly. Nash remembers Kobe’s funny words during the offseason, taunting Duncan’s caressing every teammate into a monk. Nash is scared when he thinks about his bald head.
Rockets attack.
Nash held the ball and quickly dribbled through the half.
Outside the three-point line, Nash beckoned Olajuwon to come out to block people.
Olajuwon ran to a high position to make a wall for Nash, and walked around Barkley, Jones was temporarily blocked.
At this time Carter suddenly speeded up and asked Ray Allen to directly hit the basket.
Nash sent the ball forward, Carter received the ball and crossed the free throw line to prepare for a layup.
At this point Kobe has caught up from behind, and O’Neal has also stood up, ready to block Carter.
However, I saw Carter flipped his wrist in the air and passed the ball.
Duncan, who was catching the ball, has been emptied, and the provocation is a heavy dunk. 6:6.
The Rockets’ cooperation in this ball is very tacit, which makes Smith shine.
“This ball is so beautiful. From Nash’s initiation to Duncan’s dunk, it’s a rush.” Link agreed: “I think the Lakers finally met a close opponent, and the Red Guards really deserved their reputation.”
The Lakers offense.
Kobe took the ball and watched from outside the three-point line. At first glance, the chances were not very good and he had to dribble the ball and start playing Jackson back in the high post.
Kobe slowly approached the basket, leaning against Jackson, and leaning sideways with a hook to hit the ball. 6:8.
This ball disgusted Jackson, and he didn’t know how to defend against this kind of shot.
The audience began to yell in exclamation, and Smith yelled: “Xiao Tian Hook, it is actually Xiao Tian Hook!”
The small sky hook is magic Johnson’s stunt, improved on the basis of Jabbar sky hook. At that time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s magical skill of the sky hook was unpredictable, but the requirements of the users were also very abnormal. Magic Johnson learned part of the sky hook technology and invented the small sky hook. Unfortunately, although the small sky hook is also a stunt, But the distance has been greatly shortened. You must know that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s sky hook can be hooked into the three-point line.
Nash broke through Ray Allen with the ball, attracted Barkley to fill, and then passed the ball to Duncan.
Duncan is not greedy for merit, attracting O’Neal to defend and hand the ball to Olajuwon.
Olajuwon caught the ball and turned around, seemingly about to layup, and Kobe made up the defense.
Olajuwon saw that hard hitting would not work, he turned his wrist and passed a cross. Jackson, who was lying in the corner, received the ball. No one was around.
Jackson still had time to adjust after receiving the ball, and then hit a jumper. 9:8.
Kobe controlled the ball to face Jackson’s defense, suddenly accelerated, changed direction and turned step by step, and the action was done in one go.
When Carter followed, the ball was gone.
At this time the ball had already reached Barkley’s hands. Facing Duncan, who was defending himself, Barkley made a fake pass and the basketball flew directly into the air.
O’Neal stuck Olajuwon to the jump, played an aerial relay, and dunk the ball directly into the basket. 9:10.
In such a confrontation between you and me, both the Lakers and the Rockets have demonstrated amazing discipline and rich and varied tactics.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 26 to 28, and the Lakers took the lead temporarily.
“It’s so enjoyable, this is the real game. The offenses of both teams are so smooth and unsolvable.” Smith praised loudly.
“There are actually two showtime teams on the field now, and the audience watching this game really made money.” Link concluded.
At this time, David Stern in New York was shaking with the ratings report just handed over by the secretary.
“Unexpectedly, the Lakers and Rockets game actually tied the ratings of last year’s Finals, Sam, you go tell the referee, don’t because of factors outside the competition affect the Lakers and Rockets duel.”
David Stern said specifically to Sam Smith. The finals between the Eastern Knicks and the Pacers have been completely blurred. The two teams played defensively, and the scene was very ugly. The audience rating reached 15 million. Sam Smith had previously reported on the sports column and had his own uniqueness in basketball competition. He believes that basketball is just a purely competitive sport, and should not put the cart before the horse and regard political and economic factors as the main body. David Stern is preparing to train Sam Smith as his successor and is currently under observation. Sam Smith is a bit weird. He is not obsessed with superstars like Jordan, but admires David Stern very much.
At the start of the second quarter, the Rockets have the ball.
Nash dribbled the ball to outside the three-point line, facing Kobe’s defensive expression, the ball in his hand suddenly began to change the rhythm, the body’s center of gravity changed two or so in a row, trying to shake Kobe away.
But Kobe was unmoved and stuck firmly in position.
As soon as he couldn’t get rid of Kobe, Nash suddenly accelerated and rushed to Kobe’s left side ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Kobe stared at Nash closely, and the center of gravity of his body also moved to the left.
Just as Kobe moved, Nash pulled the ball back and broke in the opposite direction.
But when Nash surpassed Kobe by half his height, he found that the ball was gone.
It turned out that when Kobe saw that he had eaten Nash’s fake action, he didn’t have time to move the center of gravity. Allen made a quick dribble and scored a three-step layup. 26:30.
Nash is very depressed, but he rarely gets steals.
Rockets players have come to comfort, know that Nash is a favorite on the team, no one hates him.
Rockets offensive, Nash learned a lesson this time, greeted Duncan pick-and-roll as soon as he entered the three-point line.
After Duncan screened, Nash got rid of Kobe and passed the ball back to Carter who ran out of the open.
Carter catches the ball on the right side of the free throw line and shoots without any hesitation.
The basketball is hollow into the net. 28:30.
Kobe dribbled through halftime and used Eddie Jones’s screen to pass Jackson in one step.
While cutting into the basket, Kobe jumped up and left the ball to the right without looking at anyone.
After receiving the ball, O’Neal leaped into the air and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands. Olajuwonla did not hold it.
The whistle sounded, Olajuwon fouled and O’Neal added a penalty.
“Shaquille, do you need me to teach you free throws?” Olajuwon interfered.
“Bang, huh!”
O’Neal’s free throw hit the basket, 28:33.
“Hakim, I can now shoot the ball with my eyes closed.”
O’Neal replied desperately, and turned around and went to the defense.
