Chapter 649 Not bad, Kobe
Seeing Kobe again was a different scene.
After the appearance ceremony, Yi Jianlian ignored anyone and walked up to Kobe immediately and hugged him.
"do you miss me?"
"Of course, hahaha."
"Be careful that I beat you up today." Kobe was still the same Kobe, and he couldn't forgive anyone no matter what.
"Will you have a cup of coffee after playing?"
"Drinking coffee is so boring, let's go eat, I treat you."
"OK, then it's a deal."
The two chatted for a while and made an appointment to have dinner together later, and then separated to warm up.
The fans in Madison Square Garden also knew that Kobe was going to retire this season, so they gave very warm applause and cheers when Kobe entered the court just now.
It has nothing to do with other things, this is a respect for a player in the top three levels of NBA history!
And the scene where Yi Jianlian took the initiative to hug Kobe just now moved many people.
But moving is moving, Kobe's iron strike during warming up is still endless.
"Boom, boom, boom," the sound didn't disappear until the warm-up was over.
With the increase of age and the invasion of injuries, Kobe's current shooting percentage has really declined sharply.
In the first five games of the Lakers, Bryant averaged only 32.3% of his field goals and 26% of his three-pointers.
Before the game, Kobe also took the initiative to come over and hug the old Zen master.
The two fell out with the Lakers before, but now that Kobe is about to retire, the old Zen master won the championship again in the Knicks.
Although the two of them are still very blunt, they are no longer in the state of not being in touch with each other.
The game started, and the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen.
In order to show respect, the Knicks went directly to last season's championship lineup!
This was an impromptu decision made by the old Zen master. He originally wanted to let Tony Allen and Robertson take turns to rest.
For the Lakers, Jordan Clarkson and Kobe are on the outside, Russell is used as a small forward, Randall is used as a power forward, and Hibbert is a center.
In fact, from the perspective of future generations, the Lakers lineup should not be weak.
You see, Clarkson is also a more inspirational player, and he has performed very well since the second round pick.
The most important thing is that he plays very steadily, let alone a star player, at least a high-quality role player should be considered.
And Russell will not talk about it. In the future, the "thigh" of the Warriors will be an All-Star player averaging 24 points per game, and Randall is also the main player averaging more than 20 points per game. Even Hibbert was once an All-Star Star Insider.
But the overall strength of the team can't be seen in this way, otherwise the Cavaliers won't be champions every year?
Game start.
Gobert's jump ball is still stable, and the veteran Hibbert wants to get the ball back from his hands, but Gobert is one step ahead.
Knicks possession of the ball.
Bradley brought it over, and Yi Jianlian stepped forward to catch the ball.
Randall is a young player, full of vitality. When he saw Yi Jianlian pulled to the outside line, he followed directly.
Yi Jianlian is also welcome, after receiving the ball, he pulls to the right and directly accelerates the breakthrough!
As for the young players, they still need to be taught some "lessons".
The sudden acceleration of Yi Jianlian caught Randall off guard.
He was already ready to sink his weight and play slowly. Who would have thought that Yi Jianlian's speed would become so fast all of a sudden.
I can't keep up at all!
After going in, he faced Hibbert's supplementary defense.
Hibbert was very brave. After throwing away Gobert, he jumped from the paint in an attempt to block Yi Jianlian's dunk, and the rest of the Lakers also began to close in.
Regardless of Yi Jianlian's disregard, his muscles exerted strength against his defense and it was a dunk!
The opening dunk is now Yi Jianlian's signature move.
Hibbert sent the baseline ball to Kobe, and Kobe brought it over, and all five of the Lakers pressed on.
Kobe called for the pick-and-roll, and Hibbert moved slowly, so it was Randle who stepped up the pick-and-roll.
Bradley doesn't chase, and I will switch defenses when you pick and roll. Anyway, Yi Jianlian is a master who can defend from the first position to the fifth position. He is not worried about being beaten by small players.
On the field.
Kobe holds the ball, and Yi Jianlian stands in front of him.
Yi Jianlian is very serious about defending, he knows Kobe's temperament, letting water is the biggest disrespect to him!
"Come on, Kobe!" Yi Jianlian slapped his palms hard and shouted at him: "Beat me, Kobe!"
This is the first matchup between the two after the opening, I didn't expect it to come so soon!
Kobe didn't speak, just glanced at Yi Jianlian, and then focused on the basket.
He will be very serious about this ball!
coming!
The moment Yi Jianlian saw Kobe's muscles tense, he knew that Kobe was about to start!
Now Kobe wants to play an aggressive ball and has to accumulate energy in advance, and his physical fitness and body can't keep up.
If it was before, he could go to the basket and dunk in the blink of an eye on your side.
Kobe's continuous shoulder-shaking feints broke through from the right!
The speed is also very fast!
Peter Pan's nickname is not for nothing.
Yi Jianlian moved sideways to block it!
Kobe quickly collected the ball and changed his crotch, and then rushed to the left!
Yi Jianlian blocks again!
Yi Jianlian's movement speed is also very fast!
"Can't break through?" Kobe tried to break through on both sides but failed. Yi Jianlian's defense covered a very wide range!
Then Kobe's eyes became fierce!
Receive the ball on the left, dribble a step, look at the time, and suddenly make a jumper!
Yi Jianlian guessed it, but Kobe's fadeaway jumper arc is too high!
He has no choice, unless he throws Kobe to the ground, otherwise he can't stop Kobe from completing the attack!
This is the reason why Kobe is so strong. When he makes a shot, you know what he will do, but you just can't stop it.
But all superstar players are basically like this, such as LeBron, Durant, Tracy McGrady, Jordan, uh, and Yi Jianlian.
Their offense does not depend on your defense but on their own touch.
As always, beautiful poses!
"Shh!"
Kobe scored on his first attack!
"It's not bad, Kobe." Yi Jianlian gave him a thumbs up. He thought the ball should be quite difficult.
Little did he know that Kobe was also very grateful that the ball went in. When he raised his hand, Yi Jianlian rushed forward. His field of vision was still very narrow, but he followed the previous touch and threw the ball out. Fortunately, he scored.
Kobe admitted in his heart that the ball was a bit lucky
The game lasted more than 4 minutes, and at the first timeout, Kobe was already out of breath.
His physical fitness has dropped very badly, and in these rounds, Kobe has intentionally or unintentionally found Randall's pick-and-roll, and then went to match up with Yi Jianlian.
The whole league knows that playing against Yi Jianlian is definitely the scariest thing. However, Kobe only picks the difficult ones. He likes to challenge the difficult ones. He doesn’t want to shoot the easy ones.
