Chapter 79 Leonard's Progress

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Yang Ke didn't control the ball. Ford pushed the ball across the half court, and he just ran slowly to the frontcourt to settle down. He didn't care about Kobe still clinging to him.

In fact, because Borrego was a little worried that Yang Ke would not be able to adapt to the many extra protective gears on his body in a short period of time, he specially ordered the attack to be temporarily handed over to veteran Ford to organize the attack, and once Yang Ke got used to it, he could take the initiative again Take on the heavy responsibility.

Looking at Yang Ke, who was in extremely neat protective gear, Kobe opened his arms to block his possible route to catch the ball, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered coldly: "Rookie, you are all fully armed, it seems that you will not be able to hold on anymore? "

It's trash talking again!
Tilting his head, Yang Ke stared at Kobe blankly. Undoubtedly, talking trash is the most effective psychological tactic in defense. When defending against Kobe in the first half, he could already hear Kobe's trash. cocoon.

Yang Ke knew very well that not only could he not speak against Kobe, but also that once he opened his mouth to fight back, he would be easily taken into the trap by Kobe, so he wisely ignored it and turned to look at Ford, who had just settled down and was about to organize an attack.

Seeing this, Yang Ke immediately started running. Of course, the running speed was not fast and he didn't do it deliberately. He just moved around with Kobe, mainly to adapt to the impact of the protective gear on his body.

Of course, even if this is the case, it still successfully disrupted the Lakers' defensive formation. You must know that Kobe has been closely following him.Moreover, Yang Ke's careless and irregular movement attracted the attention of other defensive players.

After all, in the first half, they saw how fast Yang Ke suddenly started. Coupled with his steady shooting, they suffered enough losses in the first half of defense, so they didn't dare to ignore Yang Ke. every move.

In the end, the Spurs did not even transfer the ball through Yang Ke's hands in this attack. Ford found an opportunity to face the young Sessions. After breaking into the penalty area and attracting the attention of the defense, he passed the ball to Blair. Its an easy layup.

Now, on the offensive end, Yang Ke can only play a deterrent role for the time being. Originally, he planned to run around to see if he could have a chance to shoot a few three-pointers, but with Kobe's unrelenting defense against him See, almost impossible.

Even so, the Spurs' offensive end is still very smooth. The seasoned Ford may be weaker than Yang Ke in terms of personal ability due to his age, but with his rich experience, it is still no problem to organize the offense.

On the contrary, the Spurs have made great progress on the defensive end. Blair and Splitter in the interior rely on their toughness and bloodiness, which makes Gasol very uncomfortable in the interior.As for Bynum, another high tower of the Lakers, they don't need to pay too much attention to it because of their own coping mentality.

But among the Spurs' defensive end, the most obvious improvement is Leonard's defense against Kobe!
Since the hands of the leading star are very hot, and Gasol on the inside is in a state of being suppressed by the team, the Lakers' offense is undoubtedly still Kobe.

At the beginning, Sessions dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, then passed the ball directly to Kobe, and then took Yang Ke away, giving Kobe enough space for singles.

Making a triple-threat move, Kobe protected the ball with both hands, looked at Leonard with a pair of long arms tightly around him, posing in a defensive posture, Kobe smiled coldly, then lowered his center of gravity, ready to attack.

Is it coming again? !

Leonard licked his lips nervously, and the sweat slowly slid from between his forehead. He knew that Kobe would probably use a fadeaway jumper for this ball.After all, this trick is not only his famous skill, but also used by him with great proficiency, the hit rate is extremely high, and it is called unsolvable.

Leonard has already figured out the defensive method he will use, using the blindfold defensive method. The Rockets' famous defensive champion Shane Battier used this defensive method to defend Kobe.

It's just that Leonard doesn't know what the effect will be when he uses it. After all, he has never defended like this before, but he must try it. Otherwise, once Kobe opens with a fadeaway jumper, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Hoo, hoo!"

Leonard breathed nervously, and Kobe began to fake in front of him, his shoulders shook violently, and he took a tentative step with his right foot.

Kobe's fake moves were coherent and extremely realistic, but Leonard insisted that he would use a fadeaway jumper again, so he didn't eat his fake moves, and stabilized his center of gravity without being easily shaken away.

Not surprisingly, this rookie will definitely become the league's top defensive expert in the future!
Taking a deep look at Leonard, Kobe was not going to waste any more time. Suddenly, with a crotch, he accelerated his steps, broke through Leonard's right side, and forcibly cut towards the inside.

Leonard just took a few steps back in small steps, and then he did not give up a sideways movement in front of Kobe, forcibly stuck in his seat, and his long and wide arms wrapped around him again.

Sure enough, it was difficult!
Kobe narrowed his eyes slightly. He never thought it would be very easy to play Leonard single-handedly, but a difficult opponent would often make him very excited. A basketball came to his right hand after a crotch change, and then he turned his back to Leonard. Leonard.

Leaning his back against Leonard, Kobe took a deep breath, pressed his hip against Leonard and slowly chiseled inside, and after controlling the time, Kobe suddenly turned around and took a step back, pulling away The distance between him and Leonard, and then kicked his legs hard on the floor.

Jumping high, Kobe's eyes were habitually fixed on the front of the basket, but in the next second, a huge black palm blocked his view.

Leonard? !
Kobe was not surprised that Leonard reacted and jumped up, and then leaned his body back at some angles in the air. Often when he did this, he regained his vision because of the angle.

But this time Kobe failed. He was surprised to find that even with some added angles, his field of vision was still firmly blocked by the huge palm, and for the first time his cold eyes became a little absent-minded.

It must be done!

Feeling that his body was about to fall, Kobe gritted his teeth, stretched out his arms to meet Leonard's palm, and forcibly pushed the ball out, but at the same time Leonard's palm hit his finger hard.

"Crack!"

"Beep!"

In Leonard's ear, a clear sound and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and then his feet landed. He knew that he had just pressed his arms too much, leaving Kobe with a chance to make a shooting foul. It is because he is not familiar with the blindfold defense method.

However, the price of this active foul is not something that ordinary players dare to try!

A complex expression appeared on his previously paralyzed face, and Leonard looked at Kobe in disbelief, holding the fingers of his right hand in pain.

No one except Leonard knows how much force he just used to press down; likewise, no one except Kobe knows how painful and how bad his fingers are at this time.
