Chapter 150 The Consequences of Provoking Kobe
·
Wo Yao Huo Le
After a while, players from both sides came out to warm up before the game.
The Grizzlies, which lost two games in a row, finally returned to their familiar home court.
Looking at the fans wearing the Grizzlies jersey at the scene, I feel extremely comfortable.
Playing at home will have a certain psychological advantage.
It can be seen that the fighting spirit of the Grizzlies players is still very high!
On the other side, when the Lakers players came out, they were immediately booed by the fans.
But the Lakers guys are old fritters long ago, and they are not at all moved by the behavior of the away fans.
However, just as Kobe walked past the front row, a strong man yelled at him: "Kobe, I bet you won't get [-] points in this game!"
The brawny man thought that Kobe would not talk to him, after all he himself thought the words were boring.
Unexpectedly, Kobe stopped and looked at him: "Dude, are you serious?"
The strong man was dumbfounded, and then nodded excitedly: "I don't think you have the ability anymore. If you can do it, I will buy [-] pieces of your jersey and give it to the children in the slums!"
As soon as this remark came out, Kobe immediately agreed: "Then it's a deal, and I hope you will do what you say."
Kobe has indeed not scored high points in the playoffs for a long time, which makes many people subconsciously think that he no longer has the ability to score points.
In fact, even Kobe himself didn't know if he could do it.
The reason why he agreed was because of his paranoia and his unwillingness to admit defeat.
Facing a top perimeter defensive player like Tony Allen, it is indeed not easy to score [-] points.
The conversation between the two was also heard by Qin Xiao who was not far away. He hooked Kobe's shoulder and said, "You also accept such a boring game?"
Kobe shrugged: "I also want to know, how much combat power do I have left?"
"Do you need me to help you?" Qin Xiao didn't want Kobe to lose, even if it was just a small bet.
Kobe shook his head: "No, I can do it myself."
Qin Xiao had already guessed this answer. With Kobe's strong personality, he would definitely not accept other people's cover.
At the same time, the head coaches of both sides are being interviewed by the media.
Hollins and D'Antoni have expressed that they will definitely win tonight's game.
A few minutes later, the pre-match warm-up ended and the starting lineups of both sides played.
Lakers starters:
Point guard: Steve Nash
Score: Kobe Bryant
Small Forward: Qin Xiao
Power Forward: Pau Gasol
Center: Dwight Howard
Grizzlies starters:
Point Guard: Mike Conley
Score: Tony Allen
Small forward: Marreese Speights
Power Forward: Marc Gasol
Center: Zach Randolph
The Grizzlies made a starting adjustment in this game, allowing Speights, who played well in the previous game, to enter the starting lineup.
This change can't help but make people's eyes shine, and almost no one would have thought that the Grizzlies would dare to do this.
"The Memphis Grizzlies have changed their formation and let the 208cm Speights top the third position."
"Although he is two centimeters taller than Qin, his moving speed is not fast. Once Qin breaks through, it is still difficult for him to keep up with Qin's speed."
"Maybe it's because you're too disappointed with the performance of the little prince, Tyshawn Prince?"
"If it's Tyshawn Prince at his peak, he might be able to defend against Qin, but now he really can't."
"I think Coach Hollins is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Maybe such a change can have some miraculous effects?"
In the commentary, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley discussed this lineup.
On the court, after the players of both sides stand in their respective positions, they will jump the ball in the middle circle.
The Lakers won the first wave of offense, and Kobe directly asked for the ball to Tony Allen.
In this game, he had a bet with that Grizzlies fan, so he played it very seriously.
I saw Kobe sitting on Tony Allen with his back, hitting the back ball a few times in a row, and at the same time swinging his shoulders back and forth to the left, confusing the opponent's defensive center of gravity.
Bryant reacted quickly when he sensed Tony Allen's defense drifting to the right.
He turned in the opposite direction and shot a jumper with a deep fadeaway.
"Shh!"
The sound of the basketball entering the net sounded, and the fadeaway jump shot was easily hit.
The next round, it was Kobe again.
This time, he directly chose to take a jump shot from the spot and force it, and the basketball hit again.
"Wow! Kobe's touch after the start tonight is very hot! This is in stark contrast to his performance in the last game."
In the next few rounds, the Lakers were attacking around Kobe.
Many times, Qin Xiao didn't make a shot when he had the opportunity, but passed the ball to Kobe for singles.
He also knows the ways of the world, and sometimes, it is necessary to do so.
Just like in the regular season, his teammates were feeding him the ball, allowing him to reach the milestone of 1000 points in the game against the Warriors!
In the entire first quarter, Qin Xiao only took two shots.
It was his fewest first-quarter field goals since entering the playoffs.
And tonight's Kobe is really awesome, he made 8 of 7 shots in this quarter and scored 15 points.
Following this trend, after three quarters, you can score 40 points!
On the sidelines, the strong man who bet with Kobe saw such a crazy solo show, and instantly felt how stupid his words were.
That's Kobe, he shouldn't question a paranoid!
To be honest, he somewhat regrets it now.
Five thousand jerseys is not a small expense.
Of course, for the arrogant fans who often watch football in the front row, this small amount of money still doesn't matter.
After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers continued to control the initiative of the game.
When Kobe was replaced again, his touch still remained hot.
On the offensive end, various textbook-level singles made Tony Allen bitter.
If this was the home court of the Lakers, the fans would have cheered for Kobe's crazy personal show!
After the first half, 58:47
The Los Angeles Lakers in the away game took an eleven-point lead.
In the eyes of the fans, this is the normal level of the two teams.
As Barkley said, the first half of the last game was the highlight moment for the Grizzlies.
And that kind of moment is destined to be difficult to reproduce.
The game entered the intermission stage. Although the point difference was only [-] points, the Grizzlies fans already had a premonition of the final result.
They tried their best in the first half, but the gap in strength kept them suppressed by the Lakers.
It is worth mentioning that Kobe scored 26 points in the first half. His outburst made Lakers fans vaguely see the No. 8 Peter Pan who was flying into the sky and escaping from the ground!
……
