Chapter 42 The Provocation Among the Kings
On the second day after the trading market, the Lakers ushered in their rival Washington Wizards!Arenas and Bryant ran into each other at the home court of the MIC Center Arena.
In Chutian's opinion, these two people are the most similar people in the NBA, and their attitude of not admitting defeat is terrifying!But the results have changed the fate of these two!
But the difference between the two is: Arenas grew up as the team leader in adversity, while Kobe was much luckier than the former, as the second master became the scorer of the Lakers!But the latter is much luckier!
Kobe and Arenas looked at each other and smiled, it was like a hero cherishing a hero!Although it is because of the previous Nate Robinson incident that there is a lot of gunpowder!But the contact between the two is relatively good!
"Are you Agent Zero Arenas? It's very popular recently!" For Arenas, Kobe obviously respected him because the opponent he met this time was very similar to himself!
"The four major shooting guards back then, Kobe! You are also an evergreen tree in the league! As a junior, I have to ask for advice!"
"Yes! You are welcome anytime!"
The short conversation between the two was friendly, but the competition on the field was in full swing!For the two media that promoted it at the time, they called it a struggle between the two great powers of the old and new eras!
At that time, the coach of the Wizards, Maddy Jordan, was the most typical operator of Princeton's fast-break tactics. , the ball moves, and the three-movement policy of running.
Chu Tian could see that this coach was very unusual. His tactics were in line with Arenas and Jamison's style of play!And Butler has extraordinary running ability under the training of the Lakers Chutian!In addition, coolie center Haywood is the blue-collar of this Wizards team!
Obviously this team has reached a new peak after reinforcing Butler!
The audience in the MIC Center Arena was very optimistic about the Wizards at that time. One of the reasons was that the players led by Arenas had a terrifying record of 7 consecutive victories this season. Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block Buddhas!
So some fans put up slogans at that time.
"Who is fighting against Arenas! Kobe Bryant is so weak!"
So judging from the atmosphere of the scene, this game is full of gunpowder.
At the beginning of the game, Chu Tian of the Lakers sent Kobe Bryant, Odom, Fisher, Gasol and Garmim with a defensive lineup of one big and four small.
And the Wizards also dispatched a complete lineup of the Three Musketeers Gamil and Brandon at the time!
Although the Wizards played a vigorous system under the leadership of Arenas, Chutian was not afraid of their lineup!
In fact, Chu Tian thought very simple about the Wizards' judgment at the time!Just react according to Princeton's tactics!These guys must be the main force on the offensive end, and they must be a desperate offensive type.My big four and one small defensive lineup will definitely be able to drink a pot for the Washington Wizards!
At the beginning of the game, Odom grabbed the ball, and the ball was on the Lakers Kobe's side. Kobe was planning to dribble and break through, but Arenas broke his idea one after another.Because the defense of Arenas in front of him is almost impenetrable!
It is worth mentioning that although his palm is not big!But its movements are fast and overwhelming, especially the kind of fake movements that are almost phantom, which makes Kobe a little conservative in dribbling!
He held the ball to the inside of his body, trying to defuse Arenas' offensive, but the latter was the general of the Wizards at the time, and his moves were gorgeous and fast. The latter first gave Kobe a fake move !
Apart from Kobe's move, Arenas had a flaw and wanted to break through quickly, but the latter's next move turned out to be a little embarrassing for Kobe!
Unexpectedly, Arenas turned his back on both sides!Just trying to block Kobe's ball with one hand!
At that time, Kobe knew the strength of Arenas, and he thought to himself.
"This guy is really tall. With his kind of ball handling, I really want to be restrained by him! It seems that I'm going to split the ball!"
At the moment when Kobe was passing the ball, the ball flying in the air was actually passed into the hands of Antawn Jamison, the second head of the Wizards at that time.
Seeing the elegant and agile Arenas link up with the team, Kobe felt bad at the time. At this time, he took advantage of the opportunity to organize the frontcourt attack and looked for Jamison's Odom who was in charge of defense at the time!
"Odom, pay attention to Jamison! This player's style of play is a little smart, and he is very flexible when running!"
"I know that too, but he just slipped away while I wasn't looking! This guy is too cunning."
Kobe didn't blame Odom much, but continued to encourage him to cheer up and continue to defend Jamison, a flexible player!But Chu Tian could clearly see the action just now. Jamison used his running position to limit Odom's vision while Kobe was holding the ball, which led to Kobe's passing error.
And it was that Jamison was in the process of defending against Odom just now, and he threw away Odom with a back run!This kind of reverse running is the essence of Princeton's tactics!
Kobe continued to hold the ball, and Arenas still marked Kobe. This time, he still put on a stance of strict defense to try to limit Kobe, but this time Kobe did not choose to split the ball, but chose to play singles.
This time he seemed to understand Arenas' defensive tactics!Then he suddenly opened the distance and took a step back and made a quick stop jump shot!I want to score a goal quickly!But at this time, former teammates Butler and Arenas raised their hands and jumped together. At this critical moment, Kobe threw the ball out.
A gorgeous arc opened in the center arena!Chu Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief when the ball went in after a click. You must know that the first point represents the momentum of the Lakers. If they can't get back the score on the offensive end at the beginning!After that, the battle will be difficult!
Lakers 2-Wizards 2.
The game returned to the original starting point with Kobe's retaliatory step-back jumper!However, the Wizards players don't seem to be discouraged by the point loss just now. They seem to want to get back the game just now with all their energy!
Because at this time, Caron Butler on the Wizards' court was no longer the Butler he used to be, and Chu Tian beat his chest even more because of the Lakers' trade after he left!Because at this time he has become the Wizards' No. [-] scorer!Just at the beginning of the Wizards, the Wizards began to counterattack, and Butler once again opened the score with a three-pointer!
