Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 56 Your uncle will always be your uncle

It is worth mentioning that the commentator of this game was replaced by "Skyhook" Kareem Johnson and "Magic" Johnson who returned from illness, and his partner was still ESPN celebrity Matthews.

In fact, as early as during the treatment period, Johnson had paid attention to Zhou Yu. He felt that Zhou Yu's style of play and his own conditions were very similar to his own, and it was very likely to create another "Showtime" era.

"Magician, do you think the current lineup of the Lakers is stronger or weaker than your lineup back then?"

In the opening remarks, Matthews raised a sensitive question.

"The current Lakers team is full of vigor and impact. O'Neal and Kobe have outstanding personal abilities. However, I am still more optimistic about Chinese rookie Wang Zhizhi."

Johnson did not answer directly, but responded tactfully.

"Well, Wang Zhizhi is very good, but his opponent today is the 'Rain Man' Camp, who interprets the violent aesthetics to the extreme, and Kobe is likely to be restricted by the 'Glove' Payton. You must know that Payton's defensive ability is second to none. , the remaining O'Neill may be alone."

Matthews was a little pessimistic about Lake Humanity.

"Slam dunks and steals do not mean victory, more importantly, how to effectively connect the team together, just like I did back then, relying on passing can also lead the team to win the championship."

Johnson's words left Matthews speechless for a moment.

Before the game, Zhou Yu did not take the initiative to provoke the opposing Sean Kemp as before, because he knew in his heart that a player like Kemp is completely passionate, and if he takes the initiative to offend before the enemy's situation is unknown, the consequences will be disastrous .

It's just that although he didn't provoke Kemp, Kobe took the initiative to provoke Payton.

"Payton, I heard that you lost your temper against Jordan in last year's finals. This only shows that Jordan's scoring ability is very poor. Try defending me today, and I promise to score more than 40 points on you."

Kobe said calmly.

When Payton heard it, he immediately blew his hair. He had seen arrogant ones, but he had never seen one as arrogant as Kobe. He and Jordan were almost worthless.

"Kobe, I know you have some skills, but your skills are nothing compared to me. Today I will let you see what is called the top defense in the NBA."

Peyton opened his mouth wide and sneered back.

"Very well, Payton, I hope your top defense doesn't disappoint me too much."

Kobe nodded and sneered.

In fact, the reason why Kobe took the initiative to provoke Payton was to stimulate all his energy and then defeat him, so as to prove that his strength is higher than that of Jordan, and it is his responsibility to catch up and surpass Jordan. final goal.

The game officially started. O'Neill and McIlvaine jumped high in the midfield to scramble for the ball. As a result, O'Neill first touched the basketball and transferred it to Van Exel.

Van Exel passed the half court with the ball, and his teammates settled down one after another.

According to the tactics formulated before the game, Zhou Yu and Kobe moved to 45-degree positions on both sides.Zhou Yu was originally more familiar with the high position support at the top of the arc, but he felt that the biggest advantage of the 45-degree position is that when attacking with the ball, it is more convenient to pass to teammates at the top of the arc and the bottom corner.

Sure enough, Payton came over to mark Kobe with all his strength. Even if Kobe didn't have the ball in his hand, he still played a deadly position and top defense, staying close to Kobe.

Unexpectedly, although Payton's defense was so strong, Kobe did not panic. While fighting him physically, he ran back quickly to find opportunities to catch the ball.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Yu specially used the "basketball superstar growth system" to spy on Kobe's strength, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Kobe's strength and attribute values ​​have exceeded 80 points, and he has entered the gold level, and his comprehensive evaluation has also reached the level of an All-Star player.

It seems that this kid has practiced hard. Zhou Yu thought that he had trained very hard, but compared with Kobe, it was still far away.

Finally, Kobe successfully received a pass from Van Exel through a reverse run.

"Payton, do you have this kind of defensive strength? I thought your way of speaking was very feminine, but I didn't expect your defense to be the same."

Kobe said contemptuously.

"Stinky boy, don't talk big there, try to hit a ball with me if you have the ability."

Peyton gritted his teeth.

Kobe smiled elegantly, then leaned over to join the ball, and tried his best to open up some space with his shoulders. After a few probing steps, he suddenly accelerated with the ball in his right hand.

Payton subconsciously moved back a little, and Kobe immediately pulled back with one crotch, followed by another step back, successfully flashed enough space for the shot, and then shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

Payton rushed to block the shot, but it was too late, and he could only watch the basketball cross a high parabola and fall straight to the basket.

With a crisp sound of "shua", Kobe made a steady three-pointer with a step back.

"3:0", the Lakers got off to a good start, and the Lakers fans immediately burst into cheers, crazy for Kobe's wonderful goal, and many girl fans even played the ambiguous slogan "Marry Kobe if you want to marry".

"Payton, how do you explain the goal just now? Could it be that you are sleepwalking?"

Kobe shrugged and provocatively said.

Payton gritted his teeth and vowed to get back on the next ball.

Teammates served from the baseline, and Payton was ready to dribble across the half court after receiving the ball, but Kobe began to stare at the defense from the backcourt.

In this regard, Payton looked calm. As a point guard, his dribbling skills are naturally not a problem. He just used a few simple turns and successfully brought the ball to the Lakers half.

Faced with Kobe's "death entanglement" defense, Payton resorted to his housekeeping skills-"spinning top style extraordinary".

His body turned left and right like a spinning top. Although Kobe tried his best to get in position, he just couldn't judge his specific rotation position, that is, "three times, five times and two divisions". Payton passed Kobe and rushed straight restricted area.

O'Neal and Zhou Yu didn't dare to neglect, and moved closer to Payton. In the past, Payton might have passed the ball to Kemp, who was in a better position, but this time he didn't. basket.

Then, looking for the right opportunity, he suddenly made a good low-handed high-throw layup. The basketball hit the upper side of the backboard and bounced into the basket smoothly.

The level of excitement of this goal is not inferior to Kobe's step-back three-pointer just now, and it can even be said to be more difficult. Under the chasing and interception of many Lakers, he can still score the ball smoothly, which is enough to see that Payton is superb. Excellent ball skills and super ability to read the game.

After scoring the goal, Payton walked up to Kobe immediately, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Kobe, there is a saying you must keep in mind."

"What?"

Bryant said.

"Your uncle will always be your uncle."

Peyton pursed his lips and said proudly.

"I'll go to your uncle's."

Kobe cursed angrily, then turned and left without looking back.

The game continues, the Lakers attack.Just as Kobe was about to continue the one-on-one fight with Payton, Zhou Yu suddenly approached and whispered:

"Kobe, I advise you not to continue to fight Payton one-on-one."

"Why? Do you think I can't beat him?"

Kobe was a little dissatisfied.

"Of course not. Your strength is only comparable to that of Jordan. I just think that the game has just begun, and the strength of the two teams is almost the same. It is estimated that the winner will be determined at the last moment. If you kill Payton at the critical moment, then It's called handsome and cool.

At this time, you should try your best to conserve energy and play more cooperatively. First, the coach and teammates will not think that you play alone. Second, you can show your talents at the last moment. Why not do it. "

Zhou Yu advised with emotion and reason.

　Sincere thanks to those who voted, thank you.
