NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 152 Who Says You Can't Offense If You Can't Dribble?

The Lakers' defense also changed, and Kobe went to mark Lu Yuanzhi himself.

Originally, Kobe Bryant was either going to guard Turkoglu or Lu Yuanzhi on the court. It was not surprising who he chose.

But after Kobe took the initiative to provoke the offensive burden, he deliberately changed defenders on the defensive end, which made everyone daydream.

"Yes, that's it. It's indeed Kobe. You can see that something is wrong with that kid!" On the sidelines, Jack Nicholson began to cheer for Kobe's decision.

Finally, someone as wise as me discovered that there is something wrong with this rookie kid!

Kobe: I just want to blow him up on both ends!

Yes, Kobe didn't think too much about it, he just wanted to match up with Lu Yuanzhi, and put the greatest pressure on both offense and defense, so that Lu Yuanzhi would not have extra energy to defend.

Several Kings players exchanged glances after seeing Kobe taking the initiative to defend Lu Yuanzhi.

Very good!
The most anticipated counterpoint has appeared!

Kobe wanted to consume Lu Yuanzhi on both offense and defense. Don't the Kings not want Lu Yuanzhi to consume Kobe on both offense and defense?
You only consumed one of my main players, and what I consumed was one of the two main attackers of the Lakers!

Even if it's a exchange, I'm the one who earns it!

The Kings quickly adjusted their strategy and gave Lu Yuanzhi more leverage on the offensive end.

But Lu Yuanzhi doesn't have the ability to play singles with the ball, so what's the use of tilting?

Who says you can't kill someone without a gun?
Who says you can't attack if you can't dribble?

Lu Yuanzhi also knew that it was time for him to show himself, but he was not in a hurry to show it. Instead, he helped Bibi cover first, just like usual.

When the defenders were about to hit him, Lu Yuanzhi suddenly made a "slip" fake cover and really sneaked, but the direction was not inside, but running outside the three-point line.

Kobe was expressionless but sneered in his heart, he knew you would run to the outside!
O'Neill is guarding the inside now, if you don't run outside, where else can you run?
Without hesitation, Kobe followed closely behind Lu Yuanzhi and ran to the outside of the three-point line.

Just when Lu Yuanzhi was about to step on the three-point line, he made a sudden stop, then moved to the side, and ran from the frontal position to a 45-degree angle to the left, where Divac was already standing, waiting for Kobe to head over Hit it.

Bryant certainly noticed the screen, but the placement was a little tricky.

If he goes around from the right side of Divac, although it can cut off Lu Yuanzhi's route to the inside, it will stay away from Lu Yuanzhi and give him a lot of shooting space.

If he goes around to Divac's left side, it's like stealing. He can keep up with Lu Yuanzhi and prevent Lu Yuanzhi from catching and shooting outside the three-point line, but he has to release a direct path to the inside.

How do defensive players generally choose at this time?
Normally, Divac's defenders would help hinder Lu Yuanzhi, so that Kobe would not lose Lu Yuanzhi no matter which direction he went, and would not give Lu Yuanzhi a chance to shoot.

But now, Divac's defender is O'Neal!

O'Neal has already retreated to the basket, how can he help the defense?

In the end, Kobe felt that Lu Yuanzhi could not score easily with O'Neal guarding the paint anyway, and the Kings shot a lot of three-pointers in this game, so he chose to defend against Lu Yuanzhi's shots.

Seeing Kobe bypassing Divac on the left, Lu Yuanzhi accelerated again, changed direction and went straight to the inside, leaving Kobe directly behind.

When he came near the penalty area, Lu Yuanzhi received Bibby's pass and continued to rush to the inside, where O'Neal was ready.

Last time, O'Neal didn't get in a good position, so Lu Yuanzhi and Webb played an internal pass to cooperate. This time O'Neal has already established a good position, and it is not that simple to cooperate.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't care at all, and jumped to meet O'Neill.

O'Neal likes this stupid young man the most, and he also jumped up to block Lu Yuanzhi's layup.

The two confronted in the air. This time, it was Lu Yuanzhi who rushed to O'Neal, so the "End of Confrontation" and "Intensified Confrontation" were launched at the same time. Lu Yuanzhi's center of gravity was damaged to some extent, but he still held the ball firmly in his hands.On the weak side where no one was paying attention, after Bibby passed the ball, he continued to take the defender forward for two steps, passing the good-for-nothing Turkoglu who was cutting in, but had physical contact with the defender George.

Bibby started the ball first with the ball, and finally had a deceleration action. Although he had physical contact with George, he was always on his own offensive line, which could not be regarded as a mobile screen.

Bibby, a small guard, did not completely block George's path, but let him slow down, and finally he could no longer stick to Turkoglu.

After confronting O'Neal, Lu Yuanzhi took back the basketball, used his long arms again, bypassed O'Neal's fat body, and passed the ball behind O'Neal.

O'Neal was not aware of Lu Yuanzhi's little move at all. He was concentrating on it, waiting for Lu Yuanzhi to use his waist and abdomen strength to make a pull rod, and then he took action in time to remove the ball cap.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Yuanzhi's body slipped out of the bottom line, and the expected pull-bar layup still did not appear.

Behind O'Neal, Turkoglu, who sneaked inside, raised his arms high, received the pass from Lu Yuanzhi, directly raised it high and hit it, took off on the spot, and easily put the ball into the hoop.

"NICE!"

"Good news!"

Turkoglu's goal was so comfortable that the ball hit the board, and his defender, George, only took off at this time.

What to guard against!
Kobe's yelling and cursing made George tremble in fright, and he didn't even dare to look up at Kobe.

Okay, okay, next time I will keep an eye on Turkoglu and never give him a break!

If he looked up, he would find that Kobe didn't scold him at all, but scolded himself!

Boss Ke was ruthless to his teammates and even more ruthless to himself. He felt that the root of all the problems was that he had lost Lu Yuanzhi.

O'Neill also had an angry look on his face, Mud, boy, it's the second time, it's the second time to play this trick on me, let's see if I don't kill you next time!

But the next time the Kings attacked, Lu Yuanzhi took advantage of Kobe's observation of the ball holder, suddenly accelerated, and rushed to the basket again.

Kobe immediately started up and chased after Lu Yuanzhi.

In front, O'Neill also moved over, blocking Lu Yuanzhi's front.

But this time, O'Neill was more careful. He saw Turkoglu slipping into the paint with George again, just near the baseline.

Hmm, still want to do this trick?
I don't think about it!

O'Neal moved his steps and saw Lu Yuanzhi taking off from an angle of about 30 degrees to the left. He did not block Lu Yuanzhi directly in front of him. Instead, he moved a step toward the baseline and then took off.

In this position, even if you pass it, Turkoglu will not be able to attack the basket immediately. It depends on how you two cooperate.

After Lu Yuanzhi had another physical confrontation with O'Neal in the air, he took the ball back again.

"George!"

O'Neal yelled and got George ready to steal.

George also stuck to Turkoglu tightly, not giving Turkoglu space to catch the ball.

What about the ball?
Lu Yuanzhi stretched out his left hand, but there was no basketball in his hand!
After Lu Yuanzhi confronted O'Neal from the side, his body continued to fly forward to the other side of the hoop, away from O'Neal. When he was about to land, he suddenly raised his right hand high, and the basketball was exposed.

The ball is still in his hands!
Both O'Neill and George were fooled!

Lu Yuanzhi made a counter-basket, and the ball went into the basket!
Kobe stood behind Lu Yuanzhi, watching Lu Yuanzhi quickly return to defense after throwing the ball, with a dazed expression.

Wasn't this ball the layup by Lu Yuanzhi after the practice confrontation when the two first met?
