Chapter 237 Watching Kobe in Adversity (First update, Happy National Day!)
After being bullied by Yuan Man, Artest's performance on the court became even worse. Originally, he was weak in defense during the matchup, and then found that the opponent was young and suppressed him economically. Artest's mentality Out of balance.
During Yuan Man's breakthrough for a layup, Artest deliberately bumped into Yuan Man's waist behind Yuan Man, causing Yuan Man to fall directly to the ground because he lost his center of gravity before taking off.
Although the referee immediately punished Artest for a defensive foul, the boos of the fans at the scene echoed repeatedly throughout the stadium like a subwoofer.
The Cavaliers players on the scene immediately stepped forward and surrounded Artest. Even for a guy as strong as Artest, it was a bit frightening to be surrounded by four Cavaliers players from different directions. Among them, the players who came to confront the Lakers did not have much confidence.
Cavaliers coach Byron Scott also complained to the referee with an angry face. Mike Brown also stepped forward to chatter, but no one paid attention to him.
But at this moment, Yuan Man, who fell under the basket, was forgotten, lying on the ground quietly and motionless.
The three referees awarded Artest a technical foul after watching the replay of the video. Artest, who was originally in a relatively stable mood, immediately erupted when he saw the referee change his technical foul. The referee yelled, the referee is not used to your bad temper, another technical foul, Artest is about to leave the field.
The angry Artest staggered back to the locker room under the drag of his teammate Mike Roberts. Of course, in the player channel back to the locker room, the "greetings" from the home players were indispensable.
"Artest is an idiot." Kobe couldn't help cursing in his heart.
It won't be long to see Artest with the Lakers.
After Artest was replaced, the Lakers replaced Matt Barnes. Barnes is also a defensive champion and has a three-pointer at the same time. Unlike Artest's defense with his body, Barnes' defense Mainly relying on his own pair of long arms and the small movements of constantly harassing close to the body.
However, Barnes' defense had no effect on Yuan Man's offense.
"Hey, Mr. Matt, what kind of courage makes you dare to stand in front of me." Yuan Man asked Barnes who was defending himself.
"Stop talking nonsense, come here if you have the ability!" How can I say that Barnes has been immersed in the league for many years, let alone a second-year rookie, even if he is a long-established star, Barnes is not verbal at all. won't hold back.
"I'm here to throw the ball in." Yuan Man imitated a line from Larry Bird.
"Ridiculous." Barnes didn't believe it. Yuan Man was able to make the ball at the moment when he was defending tightly. Barnes still has this confidence.
But Yuan Man didn't look like he was joking either.
"Ball." Short but sonorous.
"Here." Owen was showing off a top-like dribble in a circle in front of Blake. It is said that the originator of this trick came from the legendary figure in the Chinese streetball world-Wang Wuyou. After hearing the instructions, he stopped quickly. Takes off his juggling dribble and immediately passes the ball.
After catching the ball, Yuan Man didn't make any moves, and took off on the spot with the explosive power of his calf, which looked like a positive jump shot!
This is too insignificant!Anyway, I, Barnes, am also a well-known defensive champion for a long time!
An angry Barnes jumped high, and the feeling of being stimulated made Barnes use his prehistoric strength in this jump, and even stretched out his hand in front of Yuan Man's shot!
"I tell you to look down on me!" Barnes had a smirk on his face, and the other party's attack route had been blocked by him!
But in the next second after yelling this sentence, Barnes noticed something unusual.
The opponent was still in the shooting posture in the air, as if stagnant in the air, and Barnes himself had already started to fall!
Taking off earlier than the opponent, but falling later than the opponent, Yuan Man threw the ball easily after waiting for Barnes to fall in the air.
"Shua", Barnes knew the end of the ball without looking back.
"Where's the defending player?" Yuan Man spread out his hands after scoring the goal, and in front of him was Barnes with a flushed face.
"Good tactics!" Varejao shouted after Yuan Man scored the goal.
"What tactics?" Curious Hollins asked immediately.
"It's Yuan Man's tactic just now. Facing the defender, he directly jumps and shoots."
"What kind of tactic is this? Then?"
"Then just wait for the other party to fall." Varejao vowed, "Yuan Man often uses this trick."
"." Hollins closed his mouth tightly. This tactic is really useless for ordinary people.
After Artest was sent off, Yuan Man's scoring momentum soared. Coupled with the excellent performances of Irving and Clay, the Cavaliers opened the score in the third quarter. Too awesome.
The performances of Bynum and Gasol are actually not bad, but helplessly, because the Cavaliers' rhythm is too fast, their performances are limited, and they often do unnecessary back and forth on the court. Mike Brown Helpless, Bynum and Gasol can only be played in turns, and only one big man is kept on the court, so that the Lakers' inside advantage will not be able to be used. The Lakers are completely following the rhythm of the Cavaliers.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers played another 6-0 climax, opening the point difference to 14 points!Mike Brown reluctantly asked for another timeout.
But it is a pity that although Brown asked for a timeout, he was unable to give any effective tactics. Instead, Kobe took a few sips of sports drinks, smashed the drink bottle on the ground, and said to his teammates who were looking at him: "Damn it!" Give me all the balls, I want to give the Cavaliers a good look!"
"Yes, give the ball to Kobe, this moment is to watch the performance of a superstar!" Brown said immediately.
The timeout ended, the Lakers did give the ball to Kobe, and Kobe really started his show, with three consecutive attacks, two three-pointers against Klay's block from beyond the three-point line, and scored A mid-range shot, one person shot 8-0, closing the score gap between the two sides. After that, Clay's three-pointer was blocked by Kobe. After the block, Kobe got the ball regardless of his teammates and played a fast break , When he came to the position outside the three-point line of the Cavaliers, without the slightest hesitation, he directly pulled up a three-pointer, and the ball hit again!
"Unbelievable, incredible!" Barkley said again and again, "Look at Kobe in adversity! A player like Kobe, once he breaks out, is so terrifying!"
"After the last timeout, Kobe has scored 11 points in a row, which is terrible!" Smith said, looking at the technical statistics.
"Great performance!" Barkley's saliva spewed out again, "This kind of superstar performance is completely phenomenal. This league can achieve this kind of explosive scoring, that is, Jordan, Bird, Miller, Kobe , Tracy McGrady, Carter, Iverson these players."
After finishing speaking, Barkley added: "And me."
"You've got it." Smith showed a sarcastic smile that Charles said nonsense.
