Chapter 44 Pau Gasol: The second head of the Lakers!
Just when the Lakers were happy, Pau Gasol on the bench next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and he stood up.
"Coach Chutian, please let me play! I want to pick and roll for Kobe and cover for Kobe, please believe me!"
At that time, Pau Gasol was still the new foreign aid of the Lakers. Although he had a tacit understanding with the team after his hard training, and he was able to play a good level in training games, some aspects of him still need to be improved. !But look at his concerned eyes!Chu Tian also agreed to let him play!
"Well, you go, remember to play nice!"
Seeing that Gasol made such a statement, Odom on the side was unwilling to be a human being, so he quickly made a statement to Chutian!
"Well, Chutian, I will do my best to open up for Kobe!"
On the surface, although Odom is a big guy, he is already the third leading scorer of the Lakers. If it weren't for Chutian letting him play the sixth man as a secret weapon, it is estimated that the stats restricted by Odom would definitely not be there. under Bryant.
But for the team's victory, if there is no sacrifice by one person, it may definitely be bad for a team. Odom is indeed a trustworthy person who used his personal data to make the entire Lakers team thrive!
"Wizards! It's actually not that good, you don't need to be so serious, just take it easy!"
Between the lines of Kobe's words, there is a disdain from everyone on the Wizards team. It is true that these people are very powerful on the surface, but in fact they are a bit exaggerated. At least Kobe felt that way when he was facing Arenas just now.
Kobe's words were like the team's reassurance, and Chutian also made appropriate adjustments to it, that is, to use Mike Brown's star tactics and extremely trust the star's style of play!
But Eddie Jordan is a smart man, obviously he will not just sit idly by Kobe, Kobe seems to have made it difficult for them to deal with the defense of Arenas and Jamison just now, but there is another person on his team that is Butler !This guy must be familiar with Kobe's tactics!
Coach Eddie Jordan thought very well, that is, to use Butler to limit Kobe. After he arranged this tactic, he sneered at Chu Tian of the Lakers.
"Chu Tian, you are still a little tender. Don't you know that you are mistaken for your cleverness? Kobe is great, but I have someone who is familiar with Kobe's offense. Let me see how you attack this time?"
Thinking of what the Wizards coach himself thought, he said a word.
"Butler, the most important person in this game is to defend Kobe and limit him with both body and speed. Kobe is the only one who can score for the Lakers! No one else is worth mentioning! As long as he is defended, the others and The matchup of our players is simply not worth mentioning!"
"But the coach! The Lakers seem to be good scorers!" Butler just wanted to refute when Eddie Jordan slapped him back!
"Listen to me, do you have experience or I have experience!?"
"Well! I will defend Kobe!" Butler could only agree!
Butler is very aware of the strength of the Lakers, and he also understands that it is common for him to overwhelm Kobe in training games. Although he has improved under Chutian's systematic training before, at best he can only Restricting Kobe, but as a secret weapon against Kobe, it is estimated that it is a bit hanging.
But Butler is Butler after all. Although he is not as good as Kobe, he was still the best player under Chutian at that time!
At the end of the exhibition hall, a young player of the Lakers noticed his former teammate Butler. This former teammate was staring at Kobe's position!
Kobe and Chu Tian didn't guess that this guy would use Butler to match up, and they were also secretly surprised. This guy was the most improved and toughest defensive player on the Lakers at the time. Although Butler's skills were average, but His astonishing defense made many people suffer.
This is estimated to be against Kobe under the arrangement of Eddie Jordan.
"Kobe, do you want me to pick and roll for you!" Gasol thought about it.
"No, no one knows Butler better than me. This guy will definitely guard me all over the court. Even pick-and-rolls are just futile. You should run more positions!"
Kobe waved his hand, he could see Butler came prepared!It is estimated that today may be a ruthless hand. (Kobe Bryant didn't want to do that to Butler at the time, but Butler, once his best teammate on the Lakers, obviously couldn't do it himself.)
The audience present also witnessed the spectacular scene where the two former teammates faced each other, and they also whispered to each other.
"It is said that that person is Kobe's former teammate! In my opinion, it is too big! Damn!"
"No, the first time I saw him, I thought it was an ape that ran out?!"
"This monster-like opponent that Kobe faced this time is really uncomfortable!"
It is estimated that the camera lens deliberately distorted the Lakers, and some pictures may be very distorted!Under the background of the camera, Butler is obviously a head taller than Kobe. It seems that as long as he opens his big hands, he can severely restrain Kobe!
Seeing Butler's serious look, Eddie Jordan sneered.
"How did Kobe play Butler this time?! Butler can only guard Kobe!"
One whistle, the game begins!
The Wizards had possession of the ball, and this time it was Misson who held the ball quickly, and Paul Gasol of the Lakers was in charge of defending Arenas. Before Jamison could stop the ball, he heard a familiar voice coming from his ear.
"Jamison, let me do it!"
This sentence Jamison is very familiar with, it seems to be the request of the general, facing the request of the team's favorable scorer, Jamison passed the ball to the position where the sound was made without thinking.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of boos from the audience, and Jamison still hadn't figured out what was going on!Then there was a burst of curses from the sidelines!
"Jamison! Who did you throw that damn ball to?"
Jamison looked back and saw that Kobe was organizing an offense with the ball, and at the same time, a familiar voice echoed in his ear.
"Thanks for the ball! Dude!"
Jia looked back and realized that he had made a big mistake!It turned out that I actually passed the ball to Paul Gasol, and Gasol fed the ball to Kobe!This is a big joke!
Jamison was a little helpless, but fortunately the general's statement was not in the way, and said that he heard this voice just now!
However, Chutian didn't laugh at Jamison's low-level mistakes, because just now when Pau Gasol and Kobe were on the court, a fetter was triggered.
"Magic combination - there is a [-]% chance of causing the opponent to make a mistake!"
