140. Boyfriend

Basketball is different from football. As a five-man game, once there is a superstar on one side, it will have a great influence on the battle situation. Although football also emphasizes the role of a superstar, one person will not have that much impact on the team, which is relatively fair.
I thought that the Purple and Gold Legion enjoyed this in the game against my opponents, because the Lakers have never lacked superstars in history. From the first truly super center McCann in the ancient times to the Magic Johnson who led the Purple and Gold Legion to Kobe now, they always have the first-line stars in the league.
But the recent rivalry with the Warriors has changed this. Chamberlain is too fierce and the Lakers can't limit him at all.
After the Zen master sent out three inside lineups, Chamberlain's offensive ability was greatly weakened. After all, he was less than the inside attack level like Tiangou Kareem or Dameng Olajuwon. The double-team between Turiyaf and Mbenga made him feel uncomfortable.
But before Lakers fans could be happy, the Warriors beat them up with a 14:4 run like a flowing wave.
Mbenga and Turiav were not moving fast enough, especially the former, which could not keep up with the Warriors' offensive rhythm at all. They guarded Chamberlain, but the price they paid was too high. Billups discovered their loopholes at the first time and led the team to a fast break. The Warriors seemed to have returned to last season, and a running and bombing defeated the Lakers.
But Kobe was over in the second quarter. This is the characteristic of Zen master using Black Mamba. He will give Kobe enough rest in the second quarter, and then he will host the second half. In this way, the Lakers' counterattack became even more pale and powerless. No matter how Zen master adjusts the lineup, he cannot stop the surging Warriors' army.
After the first half, Kobe was so angry that he couldn't speak. For the strong Black Mamba, these unmotivated teammates were really too unsatisfactory.
Gasol's weakness was also revealed at this moment. He was too weak and had a gentle temper. The team was so much behind and did not lose his temper. Instead, he kept comforting his teammates. The captain of a team must not be such a good person. For example, the captain of the Warriors was Jackson rather than Chamberlain, because the latter was too rookie and too thin to criticize his teammates.
Sitting in the locker room, Kobe got angry. He lifted Odom up, grabbed the lama with his left hand and grabbed Radmanovich with his right hand, and squirted it. He gave his old subordinate Fisher and his new assistant Gasol without giving any comments.
A timely outbreak is also beneficial. Odom and Radmanovich kept cursing and swearing that they would do their best in the second half and never come back to rest without fucking the Warriors.
Kobe interrupted the two of them with a hand and shouted: "You don't need to say this nonsense. You don't have to play in the second half, just have a good rest below. I must not let those teammates who are confused and slutty and drag our teammates down, and whoever is active will play!"
Mbenga was overjoyed. He worked very hard during the time he was present. Although he could not defend Chamberlain, he was not afraid of confrontation and even dared to swing his elbow with the latter, which to a certain extent guaranteed the team's offense and defense, so he still had time to continue fighting in the second half.
Sure enough, Odom and Radmanovic sat on the bench in the second half, which puzzled the commentators on the scene. These two are the core of the Lakers now, and they had enough rest time in the first half. The second half should be the main force of the tough battle.
The Warriors' lineup was rotated, and Billups and Chamberlain were not exhausted finishers, so the second team came out, Ellis and Harrington led the team, Evans, Azubuke and Louis appeared, and the Warriors' substitute lineup was also very luxurious.
At the beginning, Louis suddenly broke out and stole Fisher's pass. Azubuk ran forward like a rocket. Kobe and others couldn't catch up. After he finally entangled Azubuk, Ellis followed him up from the wing. Azubuk passed the ball over, and Ellis played a fancy layup and opened up the score advantage again.
Kobe couldn't hold back his anger. Go to your mother's cooperation. I'm going to go crazy!
Fisher dribbled the ball through halftime, and Kobe came up to ask for the ball. Facing Azubuk's defense, he tried a step forward, and then his foot became the main foot, and his other foot took out like a lightning shot. He rushed forward like a leopard, and threw Azubuk away with two big steps.
Azubuk was also fast enough, and now he had confidence and was not afraid to face Kobe. However, the gap in strength had nothing to do with determination. Azubuk was chasing behind him. Kobe glanced at him with his eyes, and his body suddenly stopped. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and pulled the ball back into his hand, making a jump shot.
The attack was quick and straightforward, and the Warriors bench had to applaud convincingly. Chamberlain asked Jackson beside him depressedly: "Why did the old man let you go? If you are not on the court, continue to stare at Kobe, isn't this looking for abuse?"
Jackson deeply agrees with this. Even if he is not allowed to appear, he should send Barnes. Both of them are outside defensive players.
Kobe continued his outstanding performance. The league's No. 1 scoring player has fallen into a state of killing God.
Louis broke through and passed the ball to Harrington, who missed the jump shot, Evans was stuck by Mbenga, and Gasol took the rebound and passed it to Fisher.
Kobe directly reached out to ask for the ball, and took the ball and quickly attacked the basket. After entering the frontcourt three-point line, he began to change directions repeatedly. Ellis and Azubuk kept chasing and blocking them, but he was still attacked by him. In the end, Evans had no choice but to reach out and pull Kobe down.
But Kobe's eyes were red and Evans rudely pulled his right arm. He grabbed the ball with his left hand, trying to keep his upper body as stable as possible, throw the ball out, the ball entered, the referee's whistle blew, 2+1!
Seeing this scene, the fans in the Staples Center jumped up and the roar of ‘mvp’ resounded again in the gymnasium.
Kobe clenched his fist and hit his chest, looked up at the sky above the brilliant arena, and let out a roar with passion.
Seeing that the boss of the boss entered a rampage, Gasol smartly chose to cooperate. Ellis broke through the basket and hit the ball. He quickly served Kobe and ran to halftime. Ellis and Azubuk double-teamed Kobe from left to right. Seeing this, Gasol reached out to ask for the ball on the wing.
After Kobe passed the ball, he ran savagely from the double team between Azubuk and Ellis. Ellis rushed to the side to switch to Gasol. Espanyol grabbed the ball and passed it back again. Kobe got the ball again. At this time, Evans was right in front of him.
With his right hand, he took the ball to the front and leaned forward. Kobe used the strength of his waist and abdomen to turn around in a gorgeous way. Evans could only move sideways quickly, but Kobe's knees twisted wildly, and his body, which had already completed a half-turn, pulled back again. Not only that, his right shoulder was poked out to the front of his right side again, and the ball in his hand suddenly pulled far to the right side of his body.
Evans had a hideous face and tried to control his uncontrollable body, staggering and retreating.
Kobe's right shoulder stretched out and pulled back again. His left foot forward, his right arm shook gracefully, and the ball in his hand jumped on the floor and fell to his left hand. With the sound of the sole of the shoe rubbing against the rebound, he completed a change of direction under the basket and came to Evans' left.
Faced with this situation, Evans has completely lost his position, and his best choice is to give up this defense.
But Evans did not do this. This rude man has a delicate and ambitious heart. He cherishes every minute on the court. Although his defensive awareness is not good and he does not have the beastly defensive judgment like Chamberlain, he always tries his best to defend, try his best to grab every rebound, and try his best to help his teammates get into the cover.
Even though he lost his position, Evans still gritted his teeth and chased him to the side, but his feet were stirred up with each other and were suddenly shaken to the ground.
Kobe put away the ball and smiled and made a layup. His slender body spread out soothingly. He grabbed the ball with one hand and stretched out his arm. He gently lifted the ball into the ring with his wrist.
"Boom!" The audience burst into intense laughter, and sharp boos sounded like whistles, and sounded in every corner of the court.
"You are so famous now." Gasol, who was following the basket, said to Evans jokingly. Fisher laughed and shook his head, whistled and shouted: "Top Ten Balls, brother, thank God, you have benefited from it with KB, you are going to go to TV stations across the country."
It is undeniable that Kobe is indeed an excellent offense. He even completed a feat that is rare in the NBA and knocked down his opponent. This kind of ball will definitely enter the top ten breakthrough shots of the year.
The atmosphere on the Warriors' bench was as stiff and dull as steel, like the tranquility before the storm, and no one spoke, but the Oakland Tigers led by Chamberlain's eyes were cold and full of bloodthirsty desires.
Ellis pulled Evans up as soon as possible, and the latter looked embarrassed. The large screen above the court kept replaying Kobe's breakthrough just now, showing his clumsy figure and awkward face to the eyes of 20,000 fans in the audience again and again.
"I may really be famous now." Evans laughed bitterly.
Old Nelson asked for a timeout and made a large substitution directly. Chamberlain, Billups, Jackson, and Pitrus all appeared. Before the five, only Ellis remained on the court.
The reason why he didn't send one of Barnes or Jackson to the court was that Old Nelson was waiting for Kobe to explode. Only pressure can bring motivation, and a smooth game can no longer stimulate the potential in Chamberlain's bloodline. However, he did not expect that he was so lucky that Kobe actually knocked down Evans and brought such an insult to his team.
The Lions will not let their opponents provoke. If Chamberlain can meet old Nelson's expectations, he will go wild.
Because this is his team, his brother was insulted. If he treats himself as the master of this team, he must fight back and fight back hard!
"Let Evans stay on top and let him go for revenge with us!" Chamberlain whispered to Old Nelson. His voice was not loud, but his tone was as solid as a rock and could not be questioned.
