I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 155 Knicks vs Lakers
Beep!
As the whistle blows, the money battle officially begins.

Chandler and Brown jumped high at the same time, and Chandler won the jump ball by a hair's breadth.

Speaking of which, no matter how good Kwame Brown is, his talent is worthy of the No. [-] pick.

In addition to his small hands and insufficient shoulder width, Brown's dynamic and static talents are all off the charts.

Especially in terms of strength and confrontation ability, Brown is exceptionally strong.

To sum it up in one word... dark, rough and tough.

If you can get the right training, not to mention becoming a star, but becoming a qualified blue-collar worker is more than enough.

It's a pity that the person who selected him was Michael Jordan.

With Jordan's character, ordinary people really can't bear his strictness and oppression.

Brown's self-confidence collapsed little by little under Jordan's curse.

After finally leaving the devil Jordan, Brown came to the evil devil Kobe.

When it comes to being strict with teammates, Jordan and Kobe are exactly the same. We cannot say they are similar, we can only say they are exactly the same.

Poor Brown has just emerged from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again. How pitiful!
So much so that he ended up shouting the famous "Don't pass the ball to me!"

White Chocolate took the ball, advanced steadily to the frontcourt, and handed the ball to Liu He first as usual.

Liu He doesn't need to do much. He only needs to get the ball to attract the Lakers' defensive focus and create easier tactical opportunities for the rest of the Knicks.

But the Lakers' inside line is a bit "meaty" tonight.

Randolph and Mihm spent a lot of effort fighting for position in the low post.

Liu He took advantage of the situation and stuffed the ball in.

Randolph caught the ball, made a feint, and broke through, trying to take advantage of his speed to beat Mim.

Mim's speed is not fast to begin with, and he has suffered serious injuries in the past two years, so his pace can be said to be slow.

At this moment, Randolph ran out of the space, jumped up, and shot.

But at this moment, Kwame Brown came forward, leaped high, and slapped Randolph's shot away.

Snapped!
The Staples Center was agitated, and Brown gave the Lakers a shot in the arm as soon as he came on.

This guy's frame protection ability is really excellent.

If Brown can continue this performance, the Lakers will have a great advantage tonight.

Unfortunately, the basketball that flew away was picked up by Liu He.

Liu He faked a shot and hit Odom, and then made a jump shot without any delay, his posture was as graceful as a normal training session.

A basketball hit.

Swish!
2: 0.

This goal was like a heavy hammer in the hearts of Los Angeles fans.

Wake up, Angelenos.

You are now facing one of the most powerful opponents in the league.

If you dare to relax even a little bit, you will face a devastating blow.

Liu He, who scored the goal, did not forget to taunt Kobe who was returning to defense:

"Hey, man! I love this place so much. I know it so well. Scoring here is as natural as eating and drinking. I'm going to blow up your whole team tonight."

Kobe glared at Liu He fiercely, as if he wanted to eat Liu He alive.

Kobe had only one attitude on the court...it was war.

Kobe, who was provoked, would naturally give a thunderous blow.

Marbury advanced to the frontcourt, and Kobe took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Then near the free throw line, Kobe and Mihm played a pick-and-roll.

Mihm used his strong, thick body to block Hill, forcing Randolph to switch to guard Kobe.

At this time, Kobe's goal was achieved.

Kobe playing Randolph is a standard small vs. big game, with a huge advantage.

Kobe was like lightning, passing Randolph in an instant and entering the penalty area.

Chandler's assist defense was very fast and he made up the position in front of Kobe in time.

Facing Kobe's layup, Chandler jumped high and used his tall body and long arms to set up a dragnet.

However, Kobe flashed around in the air, used an extreme lever to avoid Chandler's defense, and successfully completed the rebound shot.

Bang, swish!

2: 2.

Kobe's waist strength is probably one of the best in the NBA. He can really twist!
After landing, Kobe turned back to find Liu He and mocked triumphantly: "Rookie, you are still too young! Before you can shoot the Lakers, I can kill your whole team!"

Liu He didn't care at all and replied with a playful smile: "Really? Come on then! Others are afraid of you Kobe, but I'm not afraid! I just deliberately angered you, what can you do?"

The Knicks attack.

Liu He also pulled Randolph out of the pick-and-roll.

Randolph blocked Odom, forcing Mim to switch to Liu He.

Liu He accelerated instantly, and Mim subconsciously retreated to open a defensive distance.

Liu He suddenly hit the ball hard, stopped on the spot, and then pulled up from mid-range.

Mim saw this scene and rushed to block the shot.

However, his eyes saw and his mind thought, but his feet refused to obey.

Before Mim could make a move, Liu He had already completed his attack.

Swish!
4: 2.

"See, that's what I'm going to do tonight, what can you do?"

Liu He continued to anger Kobe unscrupulously.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Director Zhang Weiping was very happy to watch.

"King Garnett said that I will trash talk everyone, except Kobe Bryant. Because an enraged Kobe can do anything, enough to make me regret it."

"But tonight, Liu He has been deliberately irritating Kobe."

"As a commentator, I must say: Liu He's behavior is not rational at all. But as a fan, I expect Liu He to be more provocative."

Yu Jia on the side smiled and shook his head: "Director Zhang, do you want Liu He and Kobe to fight?"

Director Zhang shook his head: "No, no, no! Liu He only knows how to fight with thugs, but he uses basketball to talk to real stars."

"Liu He's provocation will bring out the strongest Kobe. And the strongest Kobe will bring out the strongest Liu He. Who can not look forward to the all-out showdown between the two superstars?"

Hearing what Zhang Weiping said, Yu Jia's eyes lit up.

Who doesn’t want to watch super giants fight against each other?
It's just that he has some doubts.

Liu He shouldn't be such a person!
Although Liu He is not a good boy, he usually does not take the initiative to provoke. Why tonight...

Is it just because the opponent is Kobe?

Or is there some other purpose?
Before he had time to think, Yu Jia's eyes were already fixed on the big screen as the real performance began.

Enraged by Liu He, Kobe attacked with the ball, suddenly accelerated, and then stopped near the free throw line.

With a feint, Kobe turned around and passed Hill, took another step forward with his pivot foot, and shot a jumper.

Swish!
4: 4.

Looking back, Liu He continued to fight back.

At the top of the arc, Liu He posed as a triple threat and used probing steps to mobilize Odom's defense.

As soon as Odom was forced to take a step back, Liu He made a move to shoot.

Odom rushed back.

However, Liu He put the ball away and turned out to be a worshipper. He rushed past Odom and took off to take a shot.

Swish!
6: 4.

"Oh ho ho! I heard that Liu He spent a whole summer playing in Locke Park. His ball control and sense of ball have improved so much! He can even do tricks like worshiping Buddha. Who can guard against a 206cm big man doing worshiping Buddha? Can you live there?"

TNT studio, Kenny Smith exclaimed.

"This guy is really improving all the time. As long as you don't relax a little, he will catch up with you and surpass you. There is so much pressure on a star of the same era as him!"

Buckley said.

Smith smiled, nodded, and said, "I suddenly missed Steve a little bit. If he were here, I don't know what he would do to Liu He."

Barkley: "Just don't bother Cole and let him be his assistant in Golden State."

Steve Kerr recently accepted the Warriors' invitation to leave the TNT trio and join the Warriors coaching team.

on the field.

Kobe continued to fight back and confronted Liu He.This kind of super-star showdown with soaring points was so exciting that the fans were so excited to watch it, and even the commentators were exclaiming and praising them constantly.

This year, the 27- and 8-year-old Kobe's physical fitness reached its peak, and his personal ability reached its extreme.

As long as he wants to score, no one can stop him.

In another time and space, Kobe averaged an astonishing 35.4 points per game this season and shot 45% from the field.The three-point shooting percentage was 34.7%.

Just like that, the first quarter ended.

26:29.

Liu He scored 14 points in a single quarter.

And Kobe even scored 17 points in a single quarter.

In this personal duel, third-year Liu He was still at a disadvantage.

In the second quarter, the head coaches of both sides replaced the core players with a tacit understanding, allowing Liu He and Kobe to rest, while the others controlled the offense.

At this time, the Knicks' stronger lineup and more balanced internal and external lineup showed their advantages.

Looking back at the Lakers, their defenders composed of Kobe and Marbury are indeed the most gorgeous defenders in the league, but the Lakers' inside line is too stretched, which seriously drags down the Lakers' overall strength.

On the other hand, the Knicks are balanced internally and externally.

There is Randolph at the basket, Liu He at the forward line, Crawford and Hill at the back line, and the bench lineup is also extremely solid.

Before they knew it, the Knicks had erased the deficit and taken the lead.

Halfway through the second quarter.

40: 38.

At this time, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson replaced Kobe.

Nelson also replaced Liu He.

The two sides changed their generals and continued the main battle.

With Kobe, the Lakers instantly became different. Relying on Kobe's ultimate personal ability, the Lakers did not fall behind at all.

At halftime, 55 to 54.

The second half is almost the same plot.

Relying on a strong lineup and bench depth, the Knicks once again widened the point difference during rotation time.

Three minutes into the fourth quarter, the score was 3:75.

At this time, Zen Master once again replaced Kobe.

In the first round that Kobe played, he forced a shot against Hill and hit a difficult long two-point mid-range jumper.

75: 70.

Immediately, Kobe broke into the penalty area again, causing Randolph's defensive foul and made two free throws.

75: 72.

Later, Kobe stole White Chocolate and completed a fast break.

75: 74.

Kobe turned on the god button and scored 6 points in a row, narrowing the point difference to 1 point in an instant.

The Staples Center arena was filled with excitement, and the Los Angeles fans were so excited that they all stood up and chanted Kobe's name.

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

Seeing that the Knicks were about to be beaten, the morale of the entire team was low.

Liu He stood up.

At the critical moment, Liu He took the initiative to ask for the ball, facing Odom as a triple threat, breaking through the emergency stop, breaking through again, blowing the ball, moving one step laterally, and shooting a jump shot.

Swish!
77: 74.

The Knicks finally broke their scoring drought.

However, Kobe just curled his lips, smiled at Liu He, and then fired from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

Swish!
77:77 level.

When the Knicks attacked, Liu He, without exception, asked for the ball at the top of the key. He relied on Chandler's pick-and-roll to get rid of the defense and completed the shot in an instant.

Swish!
80: 77.

In the last few minutes, the head coaches of both teams resorted to double-teaming defense at the same time without hesitation.

Fortunately, Odom failed to live up to expectations. He failed to seize two good opportunities to open the ball and lost two good opportunities.

On the other hand, the Knicks, the steady White Chocolate, and the ever-strong Hill relied on the opportunities when Liu He was double-teamed to score.

At this point, the Knicks once again widened the point difference.

95: 87.

At this time, Kobe chose to do it himself.

On the first goal, Kobe scored the ball against the double attack of Hill and White Chocolate, one against two.

Swish!
95: 89.

Whoa!
The Staples Center arena exploded instantly, and the scene was boiling.

Barkley exclaimed again and again: "Who? Who else? Can stop this Kobe Bryant? The Kobe Bryant tonight is unstoppable! Unlimitable! Unbeatable!"

In the next round, Kobe held up Hill, floating in the air, and completed a very difficult jump shot.

Swish!
95: 92.

The scene exploded again.

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

Kobe relied on his ultimate personal ability to reduce the score to 3 points.

At the critical moment, it was Liu He who broke through and caused Mimu to foul and made two free throws.

97: 92.

Lakers offense.

The Knicks deployed heavy defense to restrict Kobe, but Kobe scored another super long three-pointer.

Swish!
97: 95.

Looking back, Liu He faced Odom, ran without the ball, received a pass from White Chocolate, and made a jump shot.

Swish!
100: 95.

Immediately, Kobe hit another three-pointer.

Swish!
100: 98.

Then, with little time left, the Lakers chose to foul the Knicks.

Fortunately, the Knicks were prepared, and Liu He, the most accurate free throw shooter, received the ball.

Liu He went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

102: 98.

Until this moment, the game finally decided the winner.

The Knicks defeated the Lakers with a 4-point advantage.

这一战，科比砍下42分8篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽。

Marbury had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

Odom had 16 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Knicks here:

刘河砍下35分6篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽。

Randolph had 17 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Hill had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steals.

Crawford had 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assists and 1 steal.

White Chocolate had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Knicks, with five players scoring in double figures, relied on a more balanced lineup and a deeper bench to win.
