MTL - NBA Backer King-Chapter 605 See also the sideways beating, the admiral's fracture
"Back to defense! Back to defense!" Little Van Gundy shouted loudly from the sidelines.
After completing the attack, the four of Stoudemire quickly ran to the backcourt and returned to the defense in time. The Lakers really wanted to play a chasing ball, but this time they failed.
Kobe held the ball on the right wing, and between dribbles, he swung twice in a row, which messed up Marion's lunge.
"not good!"
Marion secretly thought.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Kobe's sideways iron mountain exploded, and Marion, who was already under his feet, let out a muffled groan, and fell on his back and was knocked over.
"Oh!"
Countless fans of the Suns exclaimed.
"This kid!"
Old Wang couldn't help but shook his head, Kobe's mastery of the plum blossom step has reached a certain level now, the realm should even surpass him, and the lunge defense is useless.
And Kobe's tonnage, he estimated that it may have reached 102 kg to 103 kg, and his strength is greater than that of Marion. With the strength of Tieshan, it is not surprising that he knocked Marion over.
"brush!"
Kobe, who knocked over Marion, took off calmly from beyond the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.
Zhang rationally shook his head and sighed: "Kobe scored five points in a row, Tiejun has really cultivated the most powerful enemy for himself."
"Director Zhang, Kobe looks a lot stronger, his arms are really thick!" Su Qun said.
Zhang Lili was taken aback, he hadn't noticed it yet, he looked at it carefully and then nodded: "It's true."
He thought for a while and said: "Then his tonnage must exceed 100 kilograms, and his strength must be stronger. With this tonnage and strength on the outside, coupled with Tieshan's fighting skills, he can really dominate any outside line. It’s okay to be in the 1st position to the 3rd position, and there should not be many small forwards who can block him.”
"The media said that his knee was injured, should it be related to weight gain?" Su Qun said.
"It should be related." Zhang Lili nodded.
At this time, the Suns advanced to the frontcourt. Nash held the ball past Fisher, interspersed continuously, pulled from the right wing to the left wing, and after tearing up the Lakers' defensive formation, he suddenly turned around and passed the ball, and cut the ball from the gap. Pharaoh at the basket, Pharaoh caught the ball for a layup and hit a goal easily.
Barkley said: "Although zone defense is allowed now, half of the teams are still playing man-to-man. Man-to-man is also the best way to show the personal strength of a star. The Lakers are also man-to-man defense now."
Kenny Smith said: "Nash's ability to break through with the ball is very strong, his speed is very fast, and his pace is very flexible. Fisher can't keep up. I think the Lakers should adjust their defensive tactics as soon as possible."
Barkley laughed: "Whether it is single defense or auxiliary defense, Kobe is at the top. Man-to-man tactics are just right for him, and zone defense may not be suitable for him."
At this time, the Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and Kobe still held the ball on the right wing and singled Marion.
Just being knocked over once, Marion's nerves were a little nervous. He didn't know whether to continue to use lunges, so there were some problems with his defensive position, and his feet were muddy.
Seeing that there was a problem with Marion's positioning, Kobe immediately launched an attack, and the approach was completed in an instant, and Tieshan broke out again by fighting.
"Shet!"
Marion cursed secretly and was knocked over again.
Kobe didn't shoot a jumper this time, but took advantage of the trend and rushed to the flank, changed direction, avoided Stoudemire who came up to defend, and went straight to the paint.
Pharaoh was forced to come to the front right side of the basket. At this time, Kobe suddenly dropped the ball and gave it to O'Neal on the left side of the basket. It was too late for him to turn around.
"boom!"
O'Neal took off to catch the ball, lobbed dunks, and blasted the Suns' basket.
"Old K, you're doomed to lose tonight." After succeeding, he yelled at Old Wang.
"The guy who hugs the thigh." When Lao Wang said something, O'Neill rolled the whites of his eyes angrily.
Barkley said: "7:7, the two sides made all three attacks. I have to say that Kobe has gained weight now and knocked over Marion twice. This is evidence of further increase in dominance.
The current Kobe has reached his peak period, coupled with the old K's relying on playing skills and club steps, his current strength, I even think it can be compared to Michael Jordan at his peak.
Of course, he may have poorer control over the game, and some skills are not up to Jordan's level, but he has his own advantages by combining some of the old K's skills. "
Kenny Smith said: "Kobe hit 50 six times this season, and his offensive firepower is second only to Old K. He actually has the strength to challenge Old K's status as the number one active player."
"That's a little bit worse. The number one active player is not only strength, but also honor. Kobe has not led the team to win a championship. As long as the old K can maintain his current strength, Kobe will have no chance to challenge the old K to be the number one active player." Unless there is a significant decline in the old K's strength. At the peak of the old K, no one in the league is qualified to challenge his position." Barkley immediately shook his head.
With three minutes left in the first quarter, the battle between the two teams was 32:32. The offensive efficiency was very high. No one could defend the other, and no one called a timeout easily.
Holding the statistical table, Su Qun read: "Kobe has made 4 of 6 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 12 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, shooting percentage and three-pointers. The rate reached 66.6%, the Suns were unstoppable outside, Marion was knocked down three times, and he didn't dare to go up from behind."
Zhang Lili wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "The first quarter is in good shape, and it shouldn't be so strong later."
He didn't have enough confidence in his speech, because today Kobe's sideways attack and club step were too strong, and Marion couldn't defend at all. Kobe's six shots were almost all open.
Su Qun continued to read: "O'Neal didn't take many shots, and his efficiency was higher. He made 3 of 4 shots, 75% of the shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points.
Among them, Kobe passed the ball to him after attracting the old K's defense twice, scored all of them, and took a cap from the old K. "
Zhang Reasonable said: "If it weren't for the performance of the Iron Army in the first quarter, the Suns would definitely fall behind."
Su Qun said: "Old K made 6 of 9 shots in the first 9 minutes of the first quarter, with a shooting percentage of 66.6%, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
In addition to the old K's performance, Stoudemire performed well in the first quarter. The Lakers' power forward Samaki Walker is just a role player. He played three fast breaks today. Arrived at 8 points.
Just right, old K and Kobe offset, Stoudemire and O'Neal offset, the two sides tied. "
"The defensive tactics of both sides have failed. The Suns can't defend against Kobe, and they can't defend against Kobe and O'Neal's breakout tactics. And the Lakers can't defend against Old K, and they can't defend against the Suns' fast break tactics." Zhang Reasonable Said.
"Look at the next game. After the physical fitness of both sides declines, the offensive efficiency will definitely drop." Su Qun said.
Speaking of this, he said with some concern: "It seems that the old K's defensive state is not very good today, and he does not invest enough, and his main energy is on the offensive end.
But it’s not his fault. Kobe and O’Neal’s offense is too strong. If he doesn’t score, who else in the Suns can score so efficiently. "
Zhang rationally shook his head and said: "It is still necessary to defend. Defense is the basis of winning, reducing the opponent's offensive efficiency, substituting defense for offense, and playing defensive counterattack. This is also the regular tactical style of the Suns.
It took the Suns a season, and finally they have a little defense, they can't lose, and they can't lose. "
Su Qun said: "The main problem is that Marion can't defend Kobe here. The Suns have a good defense with Old K. He was blown up by Kobe outside, and the Suns' already fragile defensive system was blown up."
Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Yes, just like the old K defending against Jordan and O'Neal back then, one defense and two defenses were basically impossible to defend against. At that time, the Joe Shark combination relied on breakthrough tactics. Using Jordan's strong breakthrough ability, Qiao Sha Can attract defense.
Now the OK combination is the same. Kobe has the iron mountain to rely on, and his breakthrough ability has even reached Jordan's level. It is difficult for old K alone to prevent the cooperation of the two of them. "
"Old K, you need to strengthen your defense to prevent Kobe from going in, and at the same time reduce O'Neal's offensive efficiency."
On the Suns bench, Van Gundy Jr., who was in charge of defense, said.
"How to prevent?" Pharaoh asked.
He didn't make things difficult for Xiao Fan, but really asked him how to defend himself.
It's not that he can't prevent O'Neal, but he can't prevent the cooperation of O'Neal and Kobe.
"Kobe's breakthrough with the ball is too good, we can only use the zone defense, play two one two zone defense." Xiao Fan said.
After seeing Lao Wang nodding, Xiao Fan said again: "Old K and Stoudemire are on the left and right waists, Sean guards the center, Joe Johnson guards Kobe's wing, and Randy Brown is in charge of the other wing."
"OK."
Everyone nodded.
At this time, D'Antoni seized the time and said: "In terms of offense, we must maintain a good rhythm when transitioning from offense to defense. We played a good fast break just now, but we must also pay attention to returning to defense in time."
The timeout ends at this point and play resumes.
The Suns replaced Hardaway, replaced Joe Johnson, replaced Nash, and replaced backup point guard Randy Brown.
The Lakers replaced another power forward, Mark Madsen, a role player like Samaki Walker. In addition, O'Neal also went down.
O'Neal with 150 kg has stronger physical fitness than O'Neal with 160 kg, but he also needs enough rest time, otherwise he will be dragged down soon.
The Lakers replaced the backup center, David Robinson.
The Admiral is three years younger than King Kong, and has more strength. This season, he has played as a substitute for O'Neal. He averaged 25 minutes per game in the regular season, which largely helped O'Neal reduce his physical consumption. He averaged 8 points and 8 rebounds per game. .
The purpose of his playing is not to attack, because the old K is not off, he can't beat the old K, and the cooperation with Kobe has no effect of the OK combination, so he is only responsible for defending the old K, and Kobe is responsible for the offense.
In addition, the small forward was replaced by Devin George and the backup point guard Pargo.
"Old K's physical fitness must be allocated well. The Sharks have generals on the bench and have enough rest time. Ewing can't help you too much." Barkley reminded.
The left wing is in a low position, and Lao Wang wants the ball.
"boom!"
Catching the ball means turning around quickly and sliding down the bottom. The old David Robinson didn't keep up with the rhythm at all. The Lakers' backup power forward Madsen's weak-side defense was not fast enough.
"I remember when the old K met David Robinson for the first time, he was protected enough. He just bombed 2010 on the head of the big dream, and suffered a lot from the general in a blink of an eye, but now the old K is not David at all. Robinson can guard against it." Barkley laughed.
Looking back, Kobe received the ball outside the right-wing three-point line, and immediately ushered in the double-teaming of Joe Johnson and Marion.
"The Suns are playing zone defense, let's see how Kobe breaks the double-team, or makes a strong shot?" Barkley shouted.
"Bang bang!"
While dribbling, Kobe turned around and hit Joe Johnson with his back. Just before Marion's double-team was about to hit his upper body, he suddenly turned around and shot a fallback jumper.
Generally, when playing singles, he mostly uses a more stable step-back jumper, but when shooting in a double-team, he can only use a fade-away jumper with a stronger ability to break the double-team.
This time, neither Marion nor Joe Johnson could guard him.
"boom!"
But the touch is not good, and he missed the hit. This is also one of his weaknesses. The talent is not as good as Jordan, and the stability of the fadeaway jumper is not as good as the trapeze.
Lao Wang protected the backcourt rebound. When the offense and defense were in transition, the Suns played a fast break. Marion and Joe Johnson rushed past Kobe at the same time at the same time. Kobe reacted quickly and immediately turned back to defend.
"Whoosh!"
Pharaoh Wang passed the ball to Marion who was in the front position.
"Snapped!"
Just as Marion was receiving the ball, Kobe tried his best to catch up, stretched out his hand and poked the ball out.
"Ouch, hurry up!" Zhang Lili shouted hastily.
Kobe, Marion, and Joe Johnson chased into a group. In the end, Joe Johnson was lucky and grabbed the ball, but the rest of the Lakers had already returned to the defense.
Pharaoh still wanted the ball. This time, Phil Jackson did not hesitate to order the field to double-team early and release Stoudemire.
Pharaoh reacted super fast. Seeing the Lakers backup power forward Madsen pounced to his side, he immediately withdrew and continued to ask for the ball. He used the action of asking for the ball to attract the Lakers' defense.
David Robinson immediately followed, and Madsen's handling was also appropriate. Instead of following, he returned to the basket to defend.
At this time, the Suns backup point guard Randy Brown showed his strength as a role player. He passed the ball high to Stoudemire who cut inside, and Stoudemire was forced to take off to catch the ball. Sen was already in front of him. He jumped up and threw a shot in a hurry. Although he was not blocked, he failed to make a shot. The rebound was caught by Madsen.
"brush!"
This time, in the double-team, Kobe threw a far two points.
"ball!"
This time, even though he still encountered early double-teaming, this time Lao Wang did not drop low, but moved up a little below the left elbow, above the waist, and firmly demanded the ball.
Randy Brown passed the pass this time, and Madsen, who returned to defend the basket, was in a dilemma. He came to double-team, and Stoudemire had already reached the basket, but if he came to double-team, David Robinson would definitely not be able to stop Old K.
But he didn't have time to think about it, because the next moment, Lao Wang's attack had already started.
Catching the ball, turning sideways, dribbling, stepping down, and stopping between feet, the six forces are in one, and the sideways iron mountain explodes instantly.
"Uh!"
David Robinson cried out in pain instantly, his whole body was like a stake, he was directly felled by huge force, and then slipped on the floor continuously.
"Boom!"
Like a volcano that has accumulated for tens of millions of years, the adrenaline in the American West Arena erupted instantly.
The referee Thomas shrank his eyes, puffed his mouth, and was about to blow it, but stopped again.
The next moment, Lao Wang strode into the paint with the ball, and took off after one step. His momentum was like a tiger preying on him, and Madsen under the basket changed face and retreated.
"boom!"
With an extremely ferocious dunk on the flat basket, the right arm holding the ball slashed downwards fiercely. With the sound of the basket exploding violently, the entire backboard burst into countless small particles in an instant.
"Boom!"
In the American West Arena, the hurricane-like shouts were raised to a higher level.
"He did it on purpose, this is a malicious foul!"
"Violation! This is a violation!"
"It is against the law to hit sideways!"
"Illegal shoulder use violation!"
On the Lakers bench, several assistant coaches roared angrily.
Staring at the field, Phil Jackson looked dumbfounded, but he was actually quite calm, thinking about how to play next.
