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

Chapter 155

"Vlad, Chris, when Kobe comes in, don't cover for me!"

After figuring out Kobe's current state, Lu Yuanzhi took the initiative to find Divac and Webber, hoping that they would pay more attention to O'Neal instead of helping to defend Kobe.

When Kobe reaches the basket, he has a 63.4% finishing success rate in his career, but Lu Yuanzhi is confident that he can suppress his finishing success rate under the basket to below 60%.

But if Kobe and O'Neal are successfully connected, then with O'Neal's success rate of more than 75% at the basket in the early stage of his career, plus Divac and Webber losing their defensive position against O'Neal after making up their positions, I am afraid that every time O'Neal attacks at the basket, Either smash the ball into the basket, or get a free throw opportunity.

That is simply invincible!
And Kobe's ability to pass the ball to people in the paint is also at a historical level.

It's not that Kobe can't pass the ball, it's just that most of the time, he feels that the success rate of passing it is better than doing it himself.

But facing O'Neal, Kobe will still give the ball obediently.

Who doesn't know that as long as O'Neal gets the ball in the paint, he is unstoppable!

Divac and Weber looked at each other and knew that Lu Yuanzhi's suggestion was reasonable, so they both nodded.

Less than 2 minutes into the second half, the offensive success rate of the two teams soared again, and the score also rose accordingly.

At 71:60, the Kings still maintained a double-digit lead.

But it was still early, and the Lakers didn't panic at all.

O'Neal is scoring, and Kobe is also scoring. Both cores are working hard. No one thinks that such a Lakers will not be able to catch up.

But this round, the Lakers were in trouble.

Kobe broke through on the left side and stopped suddenly. At the moment when Lu Yuanzhi stopped the car and chased back, he changed direction in front of his body and broke through from the right side again.

Um?This trick looks familiar!

Did I fall and you will step over me later?

From the emergency stop, Lu Yuanzhi passively changed his focus, to Kobe Bryant's early change of direction, and he passively changed his focus again.

Fortunately, Lu Yuanzhi has good physical fitness and strong core strength. He just stopped his body and kept up with Kobe again.

But when Lu Yuanzhi was about to catch up with Kobe, Kobe stopped suddenly again, used 012 to steal a step, stepped back in a wide range and then fell back, once again widening the distance from Lu Yuanzhi.

Waiting for this is your move!
Lu Yuanzhi was shaken and his center of gravity was unstable, but Kobe did not know this situation. In his eyes, after his first and second emergency stop, Lu Yuanzhi quickly controlled his body and chased after him.

Terrible body control ability!

Don't expect Lu Yuanzhi to stumble and fall. He actually took one big step to catch up with him and re-enter the defensive position.

Therefore, after the third emergency stop, Kobe was afraid that Lu Yuanzhi could still keep up with him, so he deliberately retreated significantly and used his turn to leave Lu Yuanzhi's defensive range.

This is exactly what Lu Yuanzhi wants.

If Kobe had directly taken off to shoot, Lu Yuanzhi, who had been shaken three times, would not have had time to adjust his center of gravity, nor would he have been able to take off in time to interfere with Kobe's shot.

The most I can do is reach out and it will be of no use at all!

But Kobe's 012, who has an excellent sense of rhythm, steals and retreats. Although the distance is far away, for the stability of his own shooting, the speed is not fast.

Lu Yuanzhi stopped his figure and took another big stride, quickly closing the distance with Kobe.

Humph, Kobe, you are a 198cm short guy, I can take you three steps ahead of me!

Lu Yuanzhi, who adjusted his center of gravity with the help of movement, took off with Kobe. With super high bullet speed, he finally reached out to the basketball in Kobe's hand before Kobe took action.

Um?Is this all guarded against?

Kobe's eyelids were twitching, what the hell is this?As a last resort, Kobe could only increase the arc of his shot. As expected, the ball hit the neck of the basket again.

At the beginning of the 21st century, everyone's sneak steps were mostly used to turn around and retreat. The distance seemed to be large, but the speed was average.

And everyone also made such a turn and retreat based on instinct and game experience.

If Kobe was as familiar with the rules as Harden, knew the principle of stealing steps, and directly stepped back to shoot with a fast speed and a long distance, Lu Yuanzhi would have no chance to defend.

"Backboard!"

Lu Yuanzhi shouted, blocked Kobe, and turned to look inside.

I was immediately shocked when I saw this. O'Neal actually squeezed away Divac and Webber and grabbed an offensive rebound.

After O'Neal got the ball, he made a fake move to fly to Weber, and he took Divac away with a confrontation. He jumped up from the basket again, ready to dunk the ball in.

"Don't think about it!"

Lu Yuanzhi had already started rushing to the inside line at the moment Weber was pointed to fly.

After O'Neal took off, Lu Yuanzhi also entered the paint area, followed suit, and slapped the ball from behind.

"beep-"

The referee immediately blew the whistle and called Lu Yuanzhi a foul.

O'Neill never expected that when the defensive player on the inside was pushed aside, there would be someone running back from the outside to interfere with his shot. He couldn't grasp the ball firmly and was directly slapped out by Lu Yuanzhi.

"Is this it again? It's not over yet!"

O'Neal had a headache. It was already very difficult to grab this offensive rebound when Weber and Divac were double-teamed. It was even more difficult to get rid of these two defenders.

Very good, I did it all. When I thought there was no obstacle between myself and the basket, another Max jumped out from the outside and ruined his dunk.

This is so difficult!
Is it easy for me to score at the basket?

I experienced that muscle jungle basket in the 90s, and it was not so uncomfortable!

At that time, as long as the defenders under the opponent's basket were overthrown, they could easily attack the basket.

Now, it's good to overturn the opponent's inside line, and there are outside players to interfere with the shot?

Kings, is there another trick in the second game?
O'Neill looked at the situation on the court again, yes, the Turk also retracted.

If Max is swayed by my fake action this time, the Turk will come to interfere with my shooting next!

I can't do any more fake moves, right?
With another feint, Weber returned to the defensive position, and then the offensive three-second violation occurred.

Go to the fucking Kings!
Who said they are strong offensively and weak defensively? Their defensive strength is higher than any team I have encountered!
This is because O'Neal misunderstood the Kings. If Lu Yuanzhi turned into Stojakovic, the Yugoslavs would not replay it so actively.

Without Lu Yuanzhi taking the lead to rush back to the inside, Turkoglu, a player who doesn't like to go inside, would not care about how O'Neal turned the world around the basket.

O'Neal will, as usual, overturn the opponent's two inside players before he can "easily" attack the basket.

O'Neal cursed and walked to the free throw line, while Kobe was even more annoyed.

Am I not putting enough pressure on you?
That Max, while preventing my shot, still has the strength to go back to the inside to help defend?

One person guarding me and Shaq?
How dare he think!
So, what do I do?
Increase the firepower and leave no room for Max to breathe!
We must not let Shaq be besieged again!
