Healing Basketball

   Chapter 167 167. Do you dare?

  O'Neal is getting old.

The   OK combination is over.

   Two sentences, Kobe Bryant listened, no problem.

   But what does O'Neal mean when O'Neal gets old and the OK group is finished?

   Kobe doesn't like to hear what this rookie said!

   It's because he, the little blacksmith on the west coast, doesn't want to be a member of the OK group anymore, and he doesn't want the name of the OK group anymore!

  If O is willing to admit counsel, he is still willing to switch and form a KO combination.

   "Rookie, you... are you polite!"

   Liu Xiu wiped some magnesium powder and left without giving Kobe a chance to respond.

  The Lakers sent a combination of Fisher, Kobe, Luke Walton, Malone, and Medvedenko.

  The Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Miles, Randolph, and Tianzun.

   The second quarter began, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

   Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, and Kobe extended the three-point line by two meters for a pressing defense.

   Relying on his good physical fitness, he was not afraid of being passed by Liu Xiu.

   Passing? Looking for an opportunity to break through the fast horizontal pull in the front of the body?

Do not!

   Liu Xiu protects the ball well and fights Kobe with brute force!

   Kobe was very surprised.

   Expanding to press defense is to see if Liu Xiu is not ready and can make a sneak attack.

   Continue to defend aggressively, trying to force the opponent to pass the ball.

   The other party's response... Is he trying to exhaust each other's energy?

   Kobe was excited to play bumper cars with Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu's strength has a certain advantage, but Kobe took the initiative to look for a confrontation, constantly reaching out to interfere with steals, and he was not afraid of being passed by. His explosive lateral movement speed was much faster than he thought... This defense, after 20 years of defense, has to be done once. Defend 6 fouls and leave!

   We fought with Kobe for a while, and there are 9 seconds left in the attack time. Kobe’s defense has also stabilized, and the consumption stage has passed.

Suddenly, Kobe saw Liu Xiu grab the ball.

  This is...Dry pulling?

   Seeing Liu Xiu's sloppy eyes and smiling mouth... Kobe felt a bit like it!

   was even more uncomfortable in an instant.

   When he played against Liu Xiu for the first time, he was upset because of this.

   But he was even more upset...

  Dry pulling?

   Facing the little flying squirrel Liu Xiu dared to pull out.

   Facing Kobe Bryant?

   He hit the ground pass to the right of the three-second zone, Randolph caught the ball, backed Malone, turned over... jumped up and passed the ball!

   Liu Xiu made a pass and cut in the middle. There was no one in the basket. Medvedenko was taken away by Tianzun and couldn't make up for it... Liu Xiu didn't dribble the ball after receiving the ball.

   Kobe was accidentally cut in by Liu Xiukong, but he immediately turned around to chase.

   If Liu Xiu chooses to lay up the ball, or dribble the ball and then grab the ball and dunk, Kobe will have the confidence to cap off!

   But Liu Xiu buckled in!

   This kind of goal is equivalent to Liu Xiu deducting Kobe one!

   Cheers! scream!

   Kobe watched Liu Xiu detonate the audience, and 10,000 alpacas ran past in his heart.

   "If you don't buckle it, it's amazing."

  《The dunking thing starts with the OK combination》

   "Faced with the evolution of the OK combination, the warden becomes stronger when it is strong"

   "Double button OK combination, the name of the general shines"

Etc., etc.

   Kobe had already thought of the news headlines after the game.

   Regardless of whether the Purple and Gold Army wins or loses, they cannot escape this type of news!

   Kobe ran to the frontcourt, met Ruben Patterson's defense, and started a very aggressive confrontation.

   Offensive players press against defensive players? Yes, the brothers of OK group love to do this kind of thing.

  Before winning the championship, Big Brother O was often more active in looking for confrontation than defenders.

   Now O'Neal also likes to play against opponents when he has nothing to do, but he is not so active.

   Kobe is in heat now, how can Kobe Terminator not know what happened?

   Help the warden block the gun!

   As Kobe's terminator, he has never seen such a manic Kobe.

Fisher advanced to the front court and handed it over to Luke Walton at the top arc. Malone went to the low post on the left side of the three-second zone. Fisher passed the ball and moved to the bottom corner on the right. The movement of the triangle offense started...blocked. broken!

   Kobe devastated Ruben Patterson for a while, feeling that it was not enough, he moved to the high post and leaned on Ruben Patterson for the ball!

   Payton and Malone still dare to control the field, but little Wharton dare not follow.

   Kobe catches the ball, turns to face the rim, makes a tentative move, feints…

   Change of direction and breakthrough, pull-up jump shot, explosive acceleration, step-back shot, dry pull-up and direct dry... Kobe Bryant is not the first in the league in any of these face-frame skills, but almost all of them are in the top five or even the top three in the league.

   Coupled with his superb fakes, Ruben Patterson flew!

  The Kobe Terminator, who has rich experience in being hammered by Kobe, responded quickly and immediately reached out to pull Kobe.

   Speaking of which, Kobe is also a wonderful person. He seems to have forgotten what he was trying to do with Ruben Patterson.

   After he swayed Ruben Patterson, he jumped straight away and shot back...

   The referee's whistle blew, Kobe Bryant's shot was destroyed and he got two free throws.

  Liu Xiu, who was shrinking, didn't know how to complain when she saw this picture.

   Kobe made two free throws, 26-30, and the Lakers tightened the score.

   The competition suddenly became… fun?

   For the Lakers, Kobe has opened a mode that is difficult to go up, and no difficulty creates difficulty to go up!

   This is the state the Blazers want - after O'Neal goes down, find a way to keep Kobe Bryant singles.

   Originally, the Trail Blazers wanted to use Ruben Patterson to evoke Kobe’s urge to abuse Kobe’s Terminator mode.

   Those grievances between the two back then were still very interesting.

   Let Kobe play singles, the purpose is to prevent the Lakers from playing a triangle attack with Luke Walton as the tactical core, Malone as the strong point of contact in the interior, and Kobe as the main attack point.

  The triangle offense, to put it simply, is to create easier one-on-one singles opportunities for the stars, and the dislocation is even better.

  In this case, just let Kobe Bryant play infinite singles and it's over.

   That is to say, the purpose of the Blazers has been achieved.

   However, even if Bryant played more than the Blazers expected, the Lakers could still hold on to the score.

   Because this guy is unreasonable!

   In the half quarter, Kobe made 2 of 4 shots, including 0 of 1 from 3-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws, scored 7 points and 1 assist, and led the Lakers to 10 points in the half quarter.

   Normally, when a player plays so alone, his teammates will complain and slack off...but the Lakers don't!

  When Kobe took over the offense, the rest of the Lakers played defense.

  Master Zen adjusted very timely. When Kobe created a difficult single against Kobe Terminator, Zen Master replaced Luke Walton with defensive small forward Brian Russell.

   Moreover, Kobe can also take over the offense while playing defense.

   Lakers players have long been used to this situation.

   And they don't think there's anything wrong with Kobe playing like that, because that's how Kobe played when they created the dynasty.

   For the Lakers, that was the right play.

   This half-quarter, Kobe Bryant beat the Blazers 10-11!

  …

  39 to 34, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 5 points and entered the official timeout.

The    point difference opened by one point, but the pressure on the Blazers was even greater.

  Payton, Fox, and O'Neal relaxed on the sidelines for a full half-quarter!

   Kobe, by himself, created a complete rest opportunity for the three starting teammates.

   Even Malone on the court only needs to stand in the middle distance and wait for the ball on the offensive end.

   Waiting for the official suspension to come back, Liu Xiu looked at the players on the opposite side... Sure enough, the starting lineup was replaced on the opposite side!

  The strongest combination of Payton, Kobe, Fox, Malone, and O'Neal is on the field!

  The Blazers replaced the flying squirrels at this time, Liu Xiu and Tianzun continued to play, and Miles and Dale Davis were replaced.

  The Blazers' rotation is to use three frontcourt players who are above the standard of defense, supplementary defense, and help defense to maximize the Lakers' triangle offense tactics.

   But they underestimated the Lakers' tactical freedom...

   These guys didn't play tactics at all after the official suspension came back. Kobe came up and made a backhand layup that went straight to the basket.

   Immediately after the Trail Blazers missed a shot, when the Lakers attacked, O'Neal singled out Dale Davis and dunked while causing Dale Davis to foul.

   This time, Deku Maurice-Cheeks responded quickly, and after O'Neal recovered the foul, he immediately replaced Miles with an extrajudicial fanatic with better single defense.

  Although O'Neal made a foul, the Lakers still chased the score to 38-39!

  Liu Xiu was wearing a jersey, and the effect of 'physical strength' calmed him down when he was affected by the tyrannical personal ability of the OK group.

  Tianzun grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt to Momo.

   Momonga Singles Payton!

   Payton's defense is better, so he sticks to the dead, regardless of whether the mouse is abrupt or not, their Lakers defense has been better adjusted.

   Momonga jumped to the right side of the free throw line and missed a jump shot!

   But Liu Xiuchong grabbed the offensive rebound!

   Ma Long was robbed of the ball, pulled Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu made a layup...but missed.

   The referee awarded two free throws.

   Ma Long doesn't like Liu Xiu, and there is no other reason, just because of the nickname 'General', he doesn't like other people having this nickname.

   Just like in the original time and space, he gave Arenas a very low evaluation.

   But Liu Xiu swooped in from the other side of the three-second zone to grab the ball...

  Although he grabbed it, as long as his horse Wumian was quicker, he would run away in vain, and it might even be accompanied by a foul.

   This positivity...it's hard to combine with the image of the warden who walks to the free-throw line with a sloppy expression after grimacing with Tianzun, nodding his head in a rhythm and walking to the free-throw line!

   Free throw.

   Liu Xiu made the first free throw!

  40 to 38, temporarily have a one-goal lead.

  Liu Xiu's free throws are very accurate. So far this season, the shooting rate is 87%. Although there are not many free throws, it is very stable. However, the Lakers still showed their championship genes. When Liu Xiu made the second free throw, the Lakers were very active.

But Liu Xiu took a look and stopped, called Kobe, then pointed at the extrajudicial fanatic and said: "A high school student of the Lakers, do you dare to single against him? He is also a high school student, our team's single defense genius. !"
