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

Chapter 156 How to PUA Kobe Bryant Effectively
"Shaq was blocked! Oh, no, it's a pity, this is a foul." On the commentary stage, Barkley completely fell to Lu Yuanzhi, and directly explained from the position of the Kings.

Should the commentator be neutral and impartial?

Shallow and shallow.

If I have two commentators, one supports Team A and the other supports Team B, will it make the fans more involved?

What's more, with Barkley's character design, he has fought with O'Neill, so what if he favors the Sharks' opponent during the commentary?
"Shaq has to be careful. The Kings' perimeter is different from other teams. Max is 206 cm and Turkoglu is 208 cm. They are both height and weight that can pose a threat to the inside."

Now that Barkley has clearly stood on the side of the Kings and the Challengers, then Kenny Smith will stand on the side of the Lakers.

Otherwise, the commentary will be out of balance.

It just so happens that Smith also likes to be on the side of the obviously dominant Lakers, even though the Lakers are currently trailing.

But no fan would think that the Kings are the stronger team!

Even Sacramento fans don’t think so!
"The physical fitness of the current players is much better than when we played. Max and Turkoglu, two players who are close to 7 feet, actually have the movement speed of a 6-foot-6 (198 cm) guard!"

"What Shaq is facing now is not only the two insiders of the Kings, he also has to beware of the two outsiders of the Kings coming to help defend when he is attacking. The offensive pressure is huge!"

"This requires more help from Kobe!"

It is commendable that Barkley did not choke Smith.

Yes, if you think about it carefully, Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu's stature and athletic ability are really cheating.

If I could have their height, wouldn't I have beaten the four major centers back then?
Ma De, it's a pity that I'm really only 198 centimeters!

O'Neal made a free throw, and Lu Yuanzhi stood next to Kobe, thinking in his mind, how to talk trash to Kobe, so as to ensure that he will continue to defend him from the top without making him suspicious.

"Dangdang!"

O'Neal missed a free throw, and there was a sigh in the stadium.

Well, yes, that's all.

"Kobe, you can't catch me!"

Lu Yuanzhi, like Ke Ke, put his hands on his knees and looked forward, not looking at Kobe, but he exuded an inexplicable sense of confidence.

When Kobe heard the voice, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Yuanzhi, just in time to see his expression, and immediately fell in love with him.

What do you mean I can't catch up with you?
Where does this brat get his confidence from!

How dare you look at me?
Next, I have to teach you a lesson!
Seeing Kobe's look of wanting to kill someone, Lu Yuanzhi felt that his goal had been achieved.

Kobe is not an ordinary NBA player whose brain is full of muscles. If you spout excessive trash talk, it will arouse his suspicion.

If you spray "Kobe, you defensive colander, dare you come and stare at me", it seems too deliberate and too suspicious. It is impossible to say that Kobe will really let George defend Lu Yuanzhi.

But this kind of non-salty statement of facts just happened to arouse Kobe's competitiveness.

You say I can't keep up?

I want to keep up and give you a big hot pot!

Yeah, Ray Allen, how am I doing?
Coming to the Kings' offensive end, this time, Lu Yuanzhi took advantage of Kobe's moment of observing the ball holder and once again temporarily got rid of Kobe.

But something is wrong!

Kobe strictly prevented Lu Yuanzhi from attacking the inside, and also kept an eye on Lu Yuanzhi's shots from outside the three-point line. He only relaxed his defense of Lu Yuanzhi in the mid-range position.

what happened?

Lu Yuanzhi was also shocked!
Could it be that Kobe saw through and I couldn't make a CIC?

In fact, Kobe did not!But this series has been almost three games, and Kobe knows clearly that Lu Yuanzhi's only scoring points are at the basket and beyond the three-point line.

Regardless of whether Lu Yuanzhi can make a mid-range shot, Lu Yuanzhi has shown a tendency to be unwilling to take shots from mid-range.

By mistake, Kobe touched the goal of the magic ball.

Like Lillardelli's guidance in the 22-23 season, offensive scoring was mainly outside the three-point line and at the basket. The magic ball was very thorough and the scoring efficiency was very high, but he inevitably encountered a problem.

Although I don't know why, you rarely take shots in the mid-range. If you hold the ball and reach the three-point line, then what I will guard is your attack on the basket, and I don't care about your mid-range shots at all.

Yes, while the magic ball improves offensive efficiency, it also limits offensive options.

Defensive players can judge very simply that you only have two options for rushing and passing the ball, and you will never shoot in the middle distance.

After eliminating 1/3 of the wrong options, defense will be much easier.

Director Li had to solve the problem of mid-range threats in the 23-24 season, and Lu Yuanzhi quickly thought of a solution.

Don't you think I'm not a threat at 15-22 yards?

There is no way to catch the ball and attack the basket directly, nor to retreat from the three-point line. You can choose to shoot a three-pointer directly.

Yes, yes, Kobe, you are awesome, your judgment is very accurate, I really have no offensive means in this area.

But have you forgotten that I am just a rookie this year, a "role player" of the Kings!

I don't have any problems with Lillard at all!

Lillard does not attack with the ball, and the team loses a big core that consumes the ball.

But I, Lu Yuanzhi, don’t have such a high tactical status at all!
Lu Yuanzhi received a pass from Bibby about 15 yards away, but still did not dribble and rushed to the inside without mercy.

Kobe was by his side, and O'Neal saw Lu Yuanzhi rushing over from afar, and he was ready for the basket.

Boy, are you asking for death?

After Lu Yuanzhi, Kobe Bryant, and O'Neal jumped up together, Lu Yuanzhi threw the ball hard towards the free throw line without even thinking about it.

O'Neal, have you forgotten that as long as you dare to block shots, Divac will definitely be wide open!

Divac's ball was responding to the free throw line and did not retreat beyond the three-point line, but better, this position is a more comfortable hotspot for Divac to shoot.

Divac, who was unguarded, went up and down and hit two points.

73:61, the Kings lead by 12 points!
The score did not open quickly, and there was no wave. However, the score was steadily opened point by point, which made O'Neal and Kobe even more anxious.

Damn, that Max, will he still break through the ball?
Of course he will break through and score!

Lillard is a big core. After breaking through, of course he will find a way to consume the ball himself. This is the "dilemma" area from inside the three-point line to outside the penalty area.

But Lu Yuanzhi, who expects him to consume the ball!

There are so many people in the Kings team who can consume the ball!

It's not to consume Kobe, it's not Lu Yuanzhi's turn to attack now!

"Boy, the passing has improved!"

On the way back to the defense, Bobby Jackson and Lu Yuanzhi high-fived and sent compliments by the way.

Lu Yuanzhi gestured and replied calmly, "Because the free throw line is closer than the three-point line!"
