Chapter 4 One-on-One Odom

Chapter 4 One-on-One Odom

Kobe just looked at Li Du with a smile and didn't speak.Li Du knew that Kobe was not joking with him, so he settled down and looked at Odom.Li Du also knows a little about Odom. It is said that he was once known as the "left-handed magician" and admired Pippen, so his style of play is very similar to Pippen's. He is a master with comprehensive skills and physical fitness.

Li Du knew in his heart that his basketball level was not high, at most his shooting was more accurate than others, but facing Odom, who was nearly 10 centimeters taller than him, if he couldn't open his shooting space, he would just wait to be blocked. !

As for defense, Li Du understands the basic rules, but when facing NBA professional players for the first time, Li Du has no idea how strong the NBA players' movements, speed, and confrontation will be?However, basketball does not need to be like a martial arts competition. Once you start, you will always walk before life and death. Li Du can rest assured to exert his strength and explode his strength and physical strength.

Thinking of this, Li Du nodded to Kobe and said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will do my best."

He turned to Odom, who had already taken off his coat and was waiting for him with a basketball on the sidelines, and said, "Mr. Odom, I kept you waiting, let's come."

Odom is a kind person. He threw the basketball in his hand to Li Du and said with a smile, "Come on, you attack first."

Li Du received the basketball, slapped it and walked to the three-point line, passed it back to Odom, and smiled kindly at him, "Thank you for your kindness, you should attack first. I want to try too Just how strong are NBA masters!"

Odom turned his head and looked at Kobe, Kobe nodded slightly, which meant to use all his strength!Odom shook his head helplessly, "Okay, then I will attack first. Boy, be careful."

As he said that, Odom slapped the basketball and approached Li Du, who was already in a defensive posture, step by step. When he was two steps away from Li Du, Odom turned around and dribbled the ball with his back to Li Du.The best way for a big man to beat a small man is to play back, using his body to block the opponent's line of stealing the ball, and at the same time use his tall body to crush into the inside and score.

When watching Li Du play by himself earlier, Odom found that Li Du had good physical fitness, fast speed, and long arms, but there was still a big gap between his height and himself, so he immediately chose hit back.

Seeing Odom with his back turned to him, Li Du instinctively wanted to step up and punch him in the back, but as soon as he had this thought, Li Du forcibly suppressed it. This was playing basketball, not a martial arts competition.In martial arts competitions, the three rules of "no jumping, no jumping, and no back" are universally applicable, because these are taboos in martial arts competitions. Once you take off, you have nowhere to use your strength in the air, and it is even more difficult to change. The direction of body movement, such a flaw in a contest, is enough to die several times!Naturally, the back cannot be exposed to the opponent, otherwise this big flaw will also put him to death.

Suppressing his urge, Li Du immediately knew that Odom was going to hit him back, which is the most commonly used tactic in basketball.

"Let me try the strength of a professional NBA player." Li Du thought in his heart, and his body stuck up. He didn't even grab Odom's waist with his hands, but directly pushed up with his chest. Stand still, don't move like a mountain!

Odom felt a little upset when he saw Li Du coming up directly, "I'll let you see my strength!" So he dribbled the ball with his left hand, exerted force under his feet, and slammed into Li Du fiercely with his right shoulder.

Li Du made a "huh" force, and stood firmly on his feet. With Odom's strength, he couldn't make him take half a step back. Li Du didn't even move his center of gravity!Kobe's eyes lit up, watching from the side, this kid's strength is really good!

Odom couldn't make Li Du move a step even after hitting him twice, instead, he was pushed almost out of balance by the force of the recoil. The opponent fights for strength.When he hit Li Du for the third time, with Li Du's body, Odom suddenly turned around and quickly cut into the inside lane.This movement was extremely coherent and fast, and even Kobe smiled appreciatively.

But as soon as Odom turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly found a hand quickly reaching for the basketball in his hand. He was startled, and hurriedly flicked his wrist back. At the same time, he also stepped back to avoid this dangerous situation. Steal.After opening the distance, Odom realized that his turn did not pass Li Du at all, but was almost intercepted by him.

Seeing that he couldn't break Odom's ball, Li Du felt a pity, but it didn't matter, he already understood in the confrontation just now that his strength and speed are not inferior to NBA professional players, and he is even stronger !

Odom was blocked twice in a row, and his face was a little ugly. He decided to use a big and small trick to solve this ball!

Continuing to hit back, Odom knew he couldn't knock Li Du away, but he never thought of knocking Li Du away this time.I saw Odom's shoulders on Li Du's chest, and when Li Du exerted his strength to bear the force, he turned around with his back, and then he would jump high and throw the ball.And Li Du was bumped, he jumped from the back, and with the difference in height, Odom was very confident that the opponent would not be able to defend this ball!

Li Du was pushed, and it would be too late for him to take off again, but Li Du, who was influenced by the martial arts since childhood, never thought of jumping. Seeing Odom turned his back to take off, he kicked the ground with his left foot and grabbed it in one step. Next to Odom, just as Odom was about to jump and shoot, the basketball was exposed within Li Du's reach.

"There is a flaw!" Li Du's heart moved, and he stretched out his hands to grab the basketball in Odom's hand. With a strong grab, the basketball fell into Li Du's hands!

"Huh! Huh?" Odom just jumped up to shoot when he felt light in his hands. When he looked down, Li Du had snatched the basketball!It wasn't shot, let alone blocked shots, but this defensive method really makes people feel aggrieved.

After Odom landed, he looked at Li Du incredulously, and then turned his head to look at Kobe. In addition to horror, there were endless surprises in his eyes!

Don't look at the offense, it's just that Li Du can easily defend himself. With such a superb defense, Li Du can already become the Lakers' championship puzzle next season!

Bryant also stood up on crutches, nodded to Odom.He watched the battle from the side and saw it more clearly.Odom had already used all his strength, but Li Du had only tried his hand and didn't use his full strength at all.If this person can join the Lakers, the problem of the Lakers' weak perimeter defense next season will be solved!

However, if you only know how to defend, it is a fly in the ointment. Kobe asked Li Du: "Very good defense, but I don't know how your offense is?"

Li Du replied honestly: "My shooting percentage is not bad, but facing Mr. Odom, I think I may not be able to open up the shooting space."

Pure shooter?Kobe frowned. Judging from Li Du's performance just now, he shouldn't be just a pure shooter.Kobe didn't realize that he already regarded Li Du as a master in the NBA.

When Li Du saw Kobe frowning, he knew that his words made Kobe think of him as a pure shooter, and he was also a kind of spot-up shooter, so he quickly added: "I can't say I'm a pure shooter. I'm also very good at running and shooting. The breakthrough wasn't very good."

Running shots, and a good shooting percentage?Kobe's eyes lit up, and he said to Odom: "Lamar, you chase him again."

After ordering Odom, Kobe turned his head and said to Li Du: "I'll pass the ball, try to get rid of Lamar, then catch the ball and shoot quickly, as fast as you can while ensuring the hit rate ,May I?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try."

Kobe had surgery on his feet and couldn’t move, but his hands are fine. When he formed an OK combination with Shaquille O’Neal and swept the NBA, he passed a lot of good shots. His passing has never been a problem, but In recent years, his teammates have been too weak, so Kobe had to take more shots to grab points.

Now, Kobe is standing at the top of the three-point arc, holding a basketball in his hand, closely watching Li Du's running position and movements.Li Du stood at the bottom corner of the three-point line. Starting to run here is the most common way for ordinary people to run, and Li Du is no exception.

Odom followed Li Du closely, and he understood Kobe's intention after a little thought.In addition to wanting to see Li Du's shooting ability, he also wanted to save himself some face.After all, the running position requires a lot of off-ball screens and off-ball movement among teammates to get the best shooting opportunities. Like now, if one runs and one chases and defends, it is difficult for Li Du to get any good shots. Chance.

Kobe shouted and started, and Odom followed closely to guard against Li Du. He couldn't believe that Li Du could run away under his nose!

Li Du didn't start running immediately after Kobe called start, but turned to face Odom, staring at him with a pair of eyes, which made Odom puzzled, what is this kid doing?

Suddenly, Odom felt chills all over his body, and his heart beat suddenly. The owner of those black eyes seemed to want to kill him, and his body stagnated involuntarily, and he instinctively moved back.At this time, Li Du moved. He lifted the three-point line to 45 degrees in two steps, and Kobe's ball arrived.

The sound of "swiping" the basketball and the net against the goal finally began to sound good in Li Du's ears.

"Lamar, what are you doing!" Kobe shouted at Odom.The ball just now was very strange for Odom, who was following Li Du, but suddenly stopped moving, and his body seemed to move backwards.This made Kobe very annoyed, and it was too obvious for Odom to release water like this!

"Boss..." Odom looked at Kobe innocently. He really didn't let the water go. It was true that his body was out of his control just now!

Li Du smiled and said to Kobe: "Mr. Bryant, shall we continue?"

Kobe glared at Odom with a sullen face, nodded and said, "Well, let's continue."

This time, Odom thought to himself: "What kind of magic did this kid use just now? Good! I won't look in your eyes, just stare at you, and see what you can do!" Not daring to be careless, he closely guarded Li Du.

Li Du was still standing at the bottom corner of the right three-point line, the same position as before.Seeing that Odom didn't even look him in the eyes, Li Du felt amused. Whoever said that all NBA players are powerful against the sky, at least this Odom in front of him is cute and silly.

This time Li Du first moved slowly to the outside, and Odom followed step by step.Suddenly, Odom felt that Li Du's figure flickered and was about to cut in from the bottom line, so he quickly followed.Who knows, Li Du's feet didn't move at all. The moment Odom ran to the inside, Li Du stepped on the ground, stepped outside the three-point line, caught the ball, shot quickly, and the ball scored.
