Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 732



On the night of December 12, the Suns host the Lakers.

TNT broadcast live all over the United States, commentator Buckley introduced the two sides' lineups and said: "the Lakers' summer reinforcement is more successful, with butler for a stronger Artest, their No. 1 position is not as weak as last season. However, I think it's hard for Kobe to get revenge on Jason. The Suns have a stronger lineup this season

Kenny Smith said: "Jason seems to have a kind of magic, the rookies around him can't play. He always has a way to help his teammates play, to help them play with confidence. Roy is the Suns' top rookie in the last 10 years, playing very well

Barkley said with a smile: "Jason once said Roy's template is Kobe, I don't know if they will match today."

After the warm-up, the players of both sides appeared, and the Suns were five: Guo Xu, bell, Roy, Marion, and stadamel.

Looking at the starting lineup, d'antony didn't plan to defend solidly today. He had to fight with the Lakers with all his strength. The two inside lines who were good at defense were sitting on the bench.

Five of the Lakers: Smash Parker, Kobe, Artest, Odom, Bogut.

"Death" Parker is still the starting point of the Lakers, playing 28.6 minutes per game, 10 points 2.6 assists, shooting 43.2%, 3-point shooting 36.5%, 1.2 3-pointer per game.

Parker got the "Zen master" Jackson's reuse, relying on a slightly better three-point ability, the Lakers starting lineup needs to be able to open the point guard. Ellis is the main breakthrough, Farmar also needs time to practice, familiar with the triangle offensive routine of the Lakers.

Defense Guo Xu, the Lakers can only rely on the package, three guards single defense certainly can not, Jackson has no better choice than Parker.

Bogut won the jump and the game began.

Parker passed the ball after half-time, and Kobe himself brought the ball to the right low post. Marion and bell were sandwiched. Kobe Bryant points the ball, Odom's open position, three-point jump shot, and Marion grabs the rebound.

The Suns' consistent strategy is to wrap Kobe around the penalty area and let other Laker players shoot. If Kobe is far away from the basket, he will defend on his first defense.

Sun positional war, Guo Xu with the ball to the front court, the Lakers want to wrap him is not so easy, because the Suns players all have range.

Small Sila to the three-point line to do a cover for Guo Xu, he holds the ball to the right to the weak side, this side only bell in the bottom corner, if Kobe Bryant to assist defense, Guo Xu is the opportunity to pass.

Kobe did not come out, Guo Xu also had a way to make the Lakers uncomfortable, holding the ball to Bogut, the center of gravity lowered to a 45 degree forbidden area, and then passed the ball back to the middle.

Parker can't sit and watch Guo Xu stagger out of the big, from the back of the defense, Bogut do not want him to directly lay up, but also can only follow, the middle small Si empty, receive the free throw line, hollow into the net. 2 to 0.

Even if Xiaosi rest a season, the two are still tacit understanding to close their eyes can cooperate, know the other side's next choice is.

Guo Xu to the forbidden area to attract the big man to change defense, Xiaosi stood in the middle of the opportunity, even if it is not empty, he has height advantage in the face of the other side's guard jump shot. 190cm tall heavy guard is also very difficult to interfere with Xiaosi's jump shot, even can not do an eye block.

The Lakers attack, with the same as just now, Kobe Bryant was wrapped in the low post and then distributed the ball, Odom frame did not throw, Marion rushed out very fast.

Odom points to Parker, who passes Artest and Artest passes to Bogut, who is low on the left.

This routine is good, Bogut single small Si has the height, weight advantage, he leaned back two times to the middle, hook hit. Two to two.

Sun attack, Guo Xu with the ball to the front field organization, to the teammates extended two fingers to play a secret signal, Xiaosi did not pull to the outside line, in the left side for Roy to do a no ball cover.

Artest is a strong small forward, not afraid of confrontation, he will use close to disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm, if there is any weakness, it is limited by weight, speed is not very fast.

Roy running position received the pass without stopping, immediately became eager to break through the inside line, Artest bypassed Xiaosi and ran along the three-point line. Roy's choice completely got rid of him. He accelerated and passed Bogut who was not active in changing defense. He went into the forbidden area and scored with one hand dunk before Odom made up defense. Four to two.

The wonderful dunk set off the atmosphere of the home court, and the audience applauded warmly.

Roy is now outstanding, that is, combat power, there is always a way to get the ball into the basket, efficiency is not low. This year, his physical test data is not bad, but not to the top level.

The disadvantage of his holding the ball is that he can't assist Guo Xujia. Fortunately, Guo Xu doesn't care about the data this season and doesn't want to brush it. It doesn't matter.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe didn't go to the low position to catch the ball. Instead, he caught the ball on the right side with three threats and stopped the jump shot in the face of Bell's horizontal move. He knew that going to the low post would be entrapped. The Suns prevented him in this way last season, and the suns only defended one step within the three-point line.

After adjusting his playing style, Kobe made a move before Marion's defense. Bell didn't shake his hand to interfere, and the ball bounced out of the box.Long distance two-point is not Kobe's strong point, but has always been the highest proportion of his shot technology. No one knows why he likes the big two-point shot so much. Maybe it's because he trained with T-Mac, and this kind of shooting is easy to be described as picturesque by fans.

This season, Kobe Bryant averaged 7.3 long-distance two-point shots, hitting 3.1, with a shooting rate of only 42.6%. It's a career high, but it's far from stable. When the wind blows, he can hit more than 50% at this distance. Under normal conditions, he will strike iron continuously, and sometimes his shooting rate is not even 30%.

Xiaosi grabs the rebounds and passes. Guo Xu pushes at full speed with the ball. He reaches the three-point line with speed of 3 seconds. Parker does not dare to snatch for fear of being crossed. Kobe is attracted to the bottom corner of the right side by bell, unable to assist in defense.

Isn't this still the strength of single defense? Clearly, I look down on me.

Guo Xu in the half-time observation of the opponent's position to think of a good play. He gave a slight stop to the right, left hand holding the ball to the right, and forced a breakthrough into the three-point line.

Parker with defense is no use, can only prevent Guo Xu layup, can not prevent him passing.

Guo Xu saw the right time, close cross to the middle of the follow-up Marion. Hacker's injury is completely healed, the race ahead of Odom half body position, catch the ball to start on the basketball. Six to two.

Odom in the side with the jump slow half beat, in fact, only a slight interference, Marion guest star power forward, all the big man against him will be uncomfortable.

The Lakers attack, Kobe Bryant points the ball to Odom, he holds the ball single, Marion wants to return one.

Odom dangled the ball in the middle, then broke through and forced a layup with Marion relying on his body advantage. Marion didn't jump up from the side and raised his hands to signal to the referee that "I didn't foul".

Odom in the confrontation of the layup deviated from the basket, the right leg first landing, did not find a good balance, staggered for a while, gave up the defense.

Bell picked up the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu. After receiving the ball, Guo Xu did not wait for his teammates to quickly take it to the front court. He snatched the three-point ball one meter away from the left three-point line. Relying on the rhythm, he dodged Parker's block, and the ball entered again. Nine to two.

Home fans applauded and cheered, and retired Laker veteran Rick fox was no exception.

The live cameraman didn't pay attention to Fox and gave a close-up of the back court of the Lakers. Odom limped in the restricted area and waved to the side of the court, injured.

"Zen master" Jackson quickly asked for a pause
