Chapter 548 Optimus Prime under the Basket
On November 15, 2009 local time, Mosaic challenged the Lakers away from home.
The mosaic of the new season feels not much different from the last season. Although Dayao has lost weight, has become faster and healthier, and his deterrence in the interior is stronger than before!
In the visiting team's locker room, although McGrady came with the team, he did not express his opinion because he knew that the countdown to his time in the Mosaic team had begun, and he might be traded that day and then leave.
In the visiting team's locker room, Ariza is the most excited. Today, he will receive the second championship ring of his career. He is the only one in the Mosaic team who has won a championship ring.
Ariza was smiling, sitting next to Yao Ming, smiling and chatting with his teammates.
"Guys, Ariza is going to get his second General Administration ring today. Don't you have a little desire for a championship in your hearts?"
Adelman's purpose is very clear. He just wants to anger the players. He also knows that if the Mosaic team wants to win the Lakers, they can only hope that they can perform exceptionally. Only in this way can they have a chance to win the Lakers.
.
"Kill the Lakers!" Dayao took the lead and shouted. When McGrady had not returned from injury, Artest was given up by the stingy management, and he was the only one left on the team.
After Ariza was signed by Mogou, he failed to meet their expectations and failed to make up for the impact of Tracy McGrady's absence.
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was stirred up by Yao Ming, but the effect was not that ideal.
Lowry looked at the little black bean and felt less comfortable. He had made great progress during the offseason, but Adelman still did not put him in the starting lineup and still put him on the bench. The idea of applying for a trade came up in his mind again.
.
At seven o'clock in the evening, a familiar voice sounded again at the Staples Center.
Before the game started, the team specially held a small award ceremony for Ariza. During the game, some wonderful scenes of Ariza playing for the Lakers for two seasons were played. Most of them were some of his wonderful offensive and defensive performances during the last playoffs.
screen.
The fans cheered and shouted for him!
"Thank you Ariza, thank you for your contribution to the Lakers in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons." Kupchak said.
"I am very happy to have spent the two most important seasons of my career with the Lakers. I would like to thank the team, my teammates and Phil, thank them."
Ariza sincerely expressed his gratitude to his former teammates.
"Man, how are you doing in Mosaic?" Ariza walked towards Kobe. Before he could speak, Kobe asked in advance. After all, he was once his younger brother, and there was no unpleasant incident when he left the Lakers.
"I'm living a good life in Houston. Thank you for your concern, boss." Ariza had a certain amount of resentment in his heart, but this was the right time to express it.
"Believe in yourself, you can do better!" Kobe encouraged as usual.
Turning around and walking in front of Li Tian, Ariza's expression was not that good. When he saw him for the first time, all the anger in his heart surged, and his face slowly turned cold.
"Li, I believe I can do better than you!" Ariza finally said what was in his heart.
When he was still with the Lakers, he couldn't say this at all. Once he said this, he believed that as long as he and Li Tian had a conflict, the team would not choose him in the end. In the playoffs last season, he finally
Seize the opportunity and make the most of what you think you deserve.
He has the ability, which is good, but he also ignores the people around him, Kobe, Li Tian and Gasol, who can help him open up enough space on the offensive end, so that he can get the opportunity to make easy shots. When entering the mosaic
After joining the team, he truly realized that without anyone to help him open up space and lacking offensive ability, it was really difficult for him to achieve anything.
Now that he has the opportunity to play against Li Tian, he will never give up this opportunity. He wants to prove himself at Staples that he is stronger than the opponent. The choice made by the team is a wrong choice.
The last time at Mosaic's home court, under Li Tian's defense, he shot 5 of 21 with a shooting percentage of less than 24%. It can be said that he is the most important reason for the team's loss.
"Haha, Ariza, thank you for your contribution to the team in the past, and I welcome your challenge at any time!" He didn't take Ariza's challenge seriously because the two were no longer on the same level.
Ariza's defense is indeed good, but compared with Artest, there is still a certain gap.
"I will prove that I am stronger than you!"
"Your challenge is always welcome!"
After the ceremony, the competition officially began!
"Lee, what did Ariza just say?" Gasol was curious about what they talked about. Looking from the side, the atmosphere was a bit explosive.
"He told me that he wanted to challenge me and that he was stronger than me!" A faint smile did not have any impact on him.
"Haha, he forgot, did he hit 5 of 21 in the last game?" Gasol even chuckled, thinking that Ariza was crazy and provoking Li Tian would not bring any good results.
"Beep!" walked to the court and the game officially started.
Yao Ming easily won the jump ball, and when he saw Yao Ming snatching the basketball away, Bynum could only stare.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and defend!" Kobe roared at Bynum, and Bynum woke up as if from a dream.
He lowered his head and ran toward the basket. At this time, Yao Ming had already occupied the optimal position.
"Boy, go and stand on the baseline!" After Yao Ming finished speaking, he sat Bynum down on the baseline.
"Impossible!" Bynum was not to be outdone.
Unfortunately, due to the huge gap in weight and strength, Bynum could only lose, with Yao Ming occupying the best position.
"Ball!" After occupying the position, he asked for the ball from Brooks on the outside.
After Yao Ming established the core position of the team, Brooks did not dare to start the attack by himself and could only give the ball to the inside.
"Bump!" After catching the ball, Yao Ming directly leaned back and pushed Bynum, who was approaching again, out of the baseline. With his soft touch, he hit the hook with a small hook!
"That's too cruel!" Sun Yue, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but gasped. He couldn't help but think that if it were him, it wouldn't be as simple as squeezing out of the bottom line. He might just be kicked out.
"Suck!" The same goes for Artest. When he was in Mosaic and during training games, Yao Ming often kicked him out of the court.
Everyone was astonished. Gasol received Li Tian's breakthrough pass. Just as he was about to turn around and take action, he saw Yao Ming move sideways and cover the ball. Facing Yao Ming's cover, he was not confident that he could score against Yao Ming.
The ball was passed to Bynum, who was briefly open under the basket.
After catching the ball, Bynum was about to take action when he heard a loud roar.
"Tomato!" Yao Ming discovered that Gasol was passing the ball, so he had to turn around and return to defense again. When he returned, he roared. He hoped to shock him and buy him a short time to return to defense. It only took a short time for him to complete the return.
Defend.
Hearing the roar, Bynum thought that Yao Ming had already come back to defend and took action without even thinking about adjusting.
"Bump!" Sensing the approaching danger, Bynum hurriedly took action, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
Yao Ming, who had just returned for a visit, easily pocketed the rebound, handed it to Brooks, and ran towards the frontcourt, ready to start the attack.
"Gan! Bynum, what are you doing?" Li Tianzhen couldn't bear it any longer and roared at Bynum.
"Lee, it's my fault, he won't have any chance to score in the next round!" Bynum said hesitantly, knowing in his heart that he didn't do well enough, so he could only swallow his anger.
"Go back to defense! We must not let Yao Ming continue to score. Do you understand?"
"I know!" Bynum nodded unconsciously.
Kobe and Fisher pressed the defense with the entire court, greatly delaying Brooks' advancement.
With the help of Ariza's pick-and-roll, the ball was once again given to the inside, and Bynum simply couldn't get around to defend.
Seeing Yao Ming receiving the ball again, Phil was also thinking about how to solve this dilemma. This was only the regular season, and it was impossible for Li Tian to compete with Yao Ming inside.
"Beep!" Just as Phil was thinking about how to defend Yao Ming, the referee's whistle sounded.
Yao Ming gave up using his weight. He couldn't rely on fighting for the whole game, otherwise his physical fitness would not be able to last until the fourth quarter. The main reason for the opening was to shock Bynum and make him fear him.
Yao Ming used his dream steps and turned around continuously to shake Bynum up. Just as he was about to prepare for a layup, Bynum decisively hugged Yao Ming and refused to give him a chance to lay up.
For Yao Ming, who has a soft touch, free throws are equal to giving away points.
Two free throws were made.
4:0, Mosaic scored 4 points in a row at the beginning.
"Lee, I know you'll feel embarrassed if I let you attack Yao, so let me do it!" Kobe said next to Li Tian, taking the ball away from him.
Kobe held the ball to the outside of the three-point line. Ariza volunteered to defend Li Tian alone. He needed to prove himself. Battier has long been a conventional weapon in defending Kobe.
This is a pair of old rivals. They are familiar with each other and are familiar with each other's every move. However, they can only predict what the other side will do next and trust their own intuition. There is no other way. This is the only way.
There was no extra probing step. Kobe chose to touch the ball directly and break through. With his strong body, he knocked Battier away from his eyes and continued to kill towards the basket with the ball.
Seeing Scola step forward to cover up the defense, Kobe ducked out of the way to avoid Scola's cover up, and continued to attack the basket with European steps.
Emergency stop!
Take off!
At the moment of taking off, Yao Ming squeezed away Bynum and came to defend from the basket.
Seeing Yao Ming come over to defend, Kobe could only choose to stay in the air for a moment. He had no choice but to force himself up.
"Bang!" Yao Ming took off slightly and completed the block on Kobe Bryant's pull-up jumper.
The basketball was slapped outside the three-point line. Li Tian squeezed Ariza away and grabbed the rebound.
There was not much time left to attack, so he had to choose to take action at the last moment.
