At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 46 Odom, Can You Be Harder?
"This kid really said that?" Hearing a snap, Kobe stood up excitedly.

"It's absolutely true. My reporter friends told me that that kid said that if you score 20 points on him, you have to take at least 100 shots!" Although the veteran Fisher joined the Lakers in the same year as Kobe, he faced Still can't help but tremble with fear at the angry boss.

"This kid is too ignorant!" Artest, who had a bad temper, obviously exploded at the first moment.

After going through several middlemen, Du Zhe's words have been spread more and more outrageous.

"Hey! Kobe, calm down. He's just a clown trying to make a splash in front of the media. There's no need to take his words seriously." Facing the angry Kobe, Pau Gasol was still calm, and he was the only one in the entire Lakers team. Dare to speak out in this situation.

"Hey... I know, but I must teach this kid a lesson today, let him know that there is a price to pay for talking nonsense." Kobe was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and now that he is so despised by a rookie, naturally he will not You may let the other person off easily.

Looking at Kobe's sharp eyes, Gasol couldn't say anything more. After sighing insignificantly, he turned around and continued his pre-match preparations.

As the team's second-in-command, he knows best about Kobe's paranoia.

It can be said that this kind of paranoia has made Kobe as powerful as he is now, but occasionally it will make him get into the corner of fighting alone.

In most cases, Kobe, who got into the corner of the horn, can deal with the enemy like a sharp knife.

But occasionally he will turn into a blacksmith, unwilling to look back and trust his teammates even if he hits the wall, putting the entire team in trouble.

But if we play against the Warriors today, there shouldn't be any problem.

After all, with Kobe's strength, it would be easy to deal with these young guys from the Warriors.

What's more, in addition to Kobe, the team also has strong players such as him, Odom, and Artest. The possibility of overturning can be said to be very small.

Thinking of these, Gasol suddenly felt a lot of peace of mind.

…………

"Hey! Du, are you really not going to play in the first quarter..." Looking at Kobe on the opposite bench who looked as cold as a mamba snake, Ellis asked guiltily.

"I'm the sixth man on the team, why are I up so early?" Du Zhe was half lying on a chair, drinking Gatorade, looking quite comfortable.

I was really tricked to death by this guy Du Zhe...

Ellis, who had forgotten that Du Zhe was now a substitute, couldn't help but call him fooled.

At the beginning of the first quarter, that was when Kobe was at his most energetic and angry. At this time, he defended him by himself, wouldn't that be courting death...

Du Zhe is a real guy, he pretended to be the one, but Ellis is the one who made the wormwood, is that appropriate?Ellis finds this inappropriate.

While Ellis was in a dilemma, Kobe's eyes had already glanced back and forth at the starting Warriors players.

Ellis, Maggette... these two are already well-known players in the league, so he naturally knows them.

Radmanovic, this is his old teammate back then, although his strength is quite average...

Who is the big guy with long hair?Forget it, he is a nobody anyway, so don’t worry about it.

Although Mickey Moore has also played in the league for many seasons, he has always been an unknown role player, and Kobe really didn't know him.

Since none of these four people are Du Zhe, it seems that the short man should be the real owner. Judging from the skin color, there is absolutely no mistake.

We must make this kid regret stepping on the NBA court today!
Looking at Curry's back, Kobe became violent, and the killing intent in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

At the same time, Curry on the other side of the court felt a chill for no reason...

At this time, the Warriors' DJ also began to introduce today's players.

"This young player who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and wearing jersey No. 30 is the Warriors' No. 7 pick this year, Stephen Curry from Davidson College."

What?Isn't this guy Du Zhe?Kobe took a closer look, and from the front, it turned out that Curry's appearance was very different from that of the Chinese, except that his skin color looked a little yellower.

"Boss, Du Zhe didn't start today. He's sitting on the bench." Artest, who had played against Du Zhe, pointed to the Warriors' bench and reminded Kobe.

"I thought I was a great person, but it turned out that I was just a loser who couldn't even make the starting lineup." Kobe smiled contemptuously, and then added: "You're hiding on the bench, right? I'm going to beat you up too!"

From his point of view, Du Zhe was either a good guy who couldn't even make it to the starting line-up, or he was afraid of being blown up and wanted to avoid hitting himself.

No matter which one, it made Kobe feel deeply contemptuous. He has no strength and no courage. Why are you pretending?
He has already made up his mind to play a few famous scenes on this Hua country kid today.

Yes, just like Iverson crossed Tyronn Lue in the finals that year.

We must leave some unforgettable and painful memories for this kid.

…………

Amidst the cheers of the Warriors fans at the scene, the game officially began.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Lakers played extremely excitedly, especially the two insiders-Pau Gasol and Bynum in the three-second zone of the Warriors can be said to be whatever they want.

The old Mickey Moore and Radmanovich in the Warriors were completely unable to withstand the impact of their opponents, and completely gave up control of the inside line at both ends of the offense and defense.

Seeing how Gasol and Bynum of the Lakers were playing, Nelson was anxious in his eyes, but he had no good solution.

After all, the difference in hard power lies here. The annual salary of the two insiders of the Lakers is nearly 3000 million, almost catching up with half of the Warriors. unrealistic.

On the front line, Maggette didn't get any advantage against Artest. Facing this brutal small forward, it was difficult for his proud muscles to play a big role.

The only one who can be said to have taken advantage was Monta Ellis. Although his efficiency was not high, he allowed the Lakers' leading scorer, Kobe Bryant, to score no points.

To be exact, since the opening, Kobe has not even made a single shot.

This also made Ellis very happy. Although he didn't know what medicine Kobe had taken wrongly, at least he was safe now.

The other members of the Lakers also noticed Kobe's abnormality. Although they had more shots and the team's lead continued to expand, they always felt that something was not right.

Although Kobe has never taken a shot, his presence on the court is not weak at all.

As if to vent his dissatisfaction, he became more and more aggressive on the defensive end.

Although the referee will turn a blind eye and close one eye in most cases, some fouls that are too obvious are not bad.

Just over halfway through the first quarter, the referee blew his whistle on Bryant twice, one of which was even a technical foul.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Lakers coach "Zen Master" Phil Jackson had to implement the substitution plan in advance and let Kobe take a rest.

As the second-in-command of the Lakers, Gasol glanced worriedly at Kobe who was replaced. In his opinion, Kobe was still competing with the Chinese kid. This was obviously a little unsettled.

3 minutes later, the Warriors also made lineup adjustments.

The ravaged Warriors' inside twin towers were replaced by Anthony Randolph and Ronnie Turiaf.

Curry, who has not had a high sense of presence since the beginning, was replaced by Du Zhe.

Seeing Du Zhe come on stage, Kobe on the bench narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to see how much this rookie who was talking nonsense before the game really weighed.

At this time, the person facing Du Zhe on the court was the "left-handed magician" Lamar Odom. This 2-meter-tall left-handed general has a flexible body and can be used both inside and outside. He is known to be good at scoring, organizing, and rebounding. Proficient, he can be considered one of the few players who can play from position 08 to position 1.

It's a pity that although Odom is proficient in everything, he is meaningless in front of Du Zhe.

Because if you want to maintain a stable performance under Du Zhe's defense, you must have unreasonable offensive methods and a scoring method that can kill people.

It's a pity that Odom, who is more balanced, does not have this ability. His good everything turned into a loose one under Du Zhe's defense.

In terms of physical fitness, Du Zhe is not inferior in height, wingspan, or strength. This also makes Odom lose his mismatch advantage when he appears on the outside.

After seeing Odom's mid-range shot under the defense of Du Zhe, Kobe was quite dissatisfied on the sidelines: "Is this Lamar awake? Why is it so hard to play a rookie!".

And Du Zhe's defense also made Odom gradually lose his patience, and the physical confrontation between the two in offense and defense became more and more tough.

"Hey! Rookie, don't keep pestering me like a bitch." After several rounds of confrontation, Odom, who couldn't take advantage, could only regain some ground with his words.

However, in Du Zhe's view, the offensiveness of Odom's words clearly needs to be improved.

Since the other party wants to take the initiative to discuss trash talk, Du Zhe doesn't mind showing the other party the results of his practice these days.

While pushing the other person, he said: "Lamar, you are too soft today. Can't you get hard without taking those little pills?"

Du Zhe knew that after divorcing Khloe Kardashian in his previous life, Odom almost died due to overdose of sheep medicine.

As the saying goes, it doesn't take a day to freeze three feet, so Du Zhe suspected that the other party had been dependent on this pill for a long time.

Sure enough, Odom's complexion suddenly changed after being poked in the sore spot. He was so angry that he was speechless, unable to utter a complete sentence: "You...you..., I...I...I..."

In the next round, the enraged Odom directly turned into O'Neal, trying to force Duzhe under the basket, and show his "tough" side by the way.

It's a pity that he doesn't have O'Neal's physique. Instead, Du Zhe took advantage of the chaos to take the ball away during the confrontation, and was hit for a fast break.

"Bang!" Kobe on the sidelines angrily put the towel on the ground. In his opinion, Odom's performance in these rounds was really substandard.

That is to say, Odom has a good personal relationship with him. If it was replaced by other players, I am afraid that Kobe would have been unable to bear the curse.

Soon, the little time left in the first quarter was over.

Although Kobe did not score, the Lakers established a huge lead in the first quarter with Pau Gasol scoring 6 points on 5 of 2 shots and 2 of 12 free throws.

At 22:36, in the first quarter alone, the Warriors trailed by 14 points.

And Du Zhe made 1 of 0 shots in the first quarter, did not score, and only made a steal by stealing Odom.

This kind of performance is obviously difficult for Kobe to take seriously. In his opinion, Du Zhe obviously has no status on the offensive end and can only float on the outside and watch the faces of his teammates.

On the defensive end, although Du Zhe did make Odom suffer a few times, with the Lakers leading by so much, Odom would inevitably feel a little slack, and it is normal for this kid to steal the chicken.

"Lamar, what's the matter with you? You're so embarrassed by a rookie." Although he could understand Odom in his heart, as the team leader, Kobe still expressed dissatisfaction with his abnormal performance.

Feeling guilty, Odom could only explain hesitantly: "When I rushed in just now, the floor was too slippery."

"Forget it, don't be distracted when you turn around on the court, let me take care of this ignorant Huaguo boy." Kobe, who hated iron but steel, didn't want to mention this matter again.

He originally wanted Odom to kill Du Zhe's vigor, but he didn't expect this guy to be so unsatisfactory, and instead made Du Zhe unable to step down.

That being the case.Then he would have to take action himself.

In the first quarter, he did not take a shot and was replaced by the coach due to two fouls. Now he can be said to be full of fighting spirit.

If this is a game, Kobe's accumulated rage points are probably enough to use a hundred ults.

In the second quarter, the Lakers still sent out the starting lineup, and seemed to want to further expand their lead and strive to end the game in the first half.

As for the Warriors, Nelson, who was in urgent need of medical attention, sent Chris Hunter onto the court, trying to see if this black and tough man could fend off Bynum in the paint.

Hunter, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility in a daze, had no choice but to bite the bullet and make his debut.

It can only be said that Hunter had a bad time. His first game in the NBA was against Tim Duncan, a great inside player. Although Duncan was gentle to him in that game, the immature him was still abused to his core.

And in this game, after watching the performances of Gasol and Bynum while sitting on the bench, Hunter's heart felt even colder. It turns out that those who can make a name for themselves in the NBA are all monsters. The coach made Didn't he go up to deliver food?

"Don't be in a daze, Hunter, since you are going to play, you should concentrate on the game."

"Whether the opponent is strong or weak, it has nothing to do with us. All we have to do is to play our best performance and win this damn game."

"The opponent wants to score on our head? Then we have to prepare them to take off a layer of skin. This kind of determination is a must."

Du Zhe looked forward, staring intently at Kobe Bryant, who was about to appear. The words in his mouth seemed to be comforting Hunter, but more like reminding himself.
