One Guard

Chapter 254: Who is the best sixth man

"Peja Stojakovic! three~~~~"

The cries of the live DJ made all the fans excitedly raise their arms high. The Mavericks scored again, and Carlisle's substitution had an immediate effect.

ESPN's photographer did not push the camera to Peja who scored the goal, but gave a close-up of the angry roaring "Zen Master" Jackson.

A few minutes ago, the white-haired old man with glasses was still sitting on the bench, seemingly waiting for the victory.

And now, the old man was flushed with anger causing his blood pressure to soar. He squinted his eyes and put his hands on his hips. This is a signal, a signal that the Lakers are in trouble!

"Lamar!" When Kobe pushed the ball over again, Phil Jackson turned around and shouted Odom's name to the bench.

Odom immediately understood what Jackson meant. He immediately took off his training clothes, tore off the disposable training pants, and went to the technical desk to register. Once there is a dead ball on the field, the best sixth man will appear.

The situation has reached the moment when it has to be rescued!

On the court, due to Kidd's appearance, the person defending Kobe now is Yiyang.

Kobe believes that Yiyang, a rookie, will be a breakthrough for the Lakers' offense. He may be able to prevent others, but rest stops himself!

So he held Yiyang with one hand outside the three-point line on the left, and demanded the ball from Fisher with the other.

Fisher's pass was very decisive, and Yiyang wanted to steal it, but Kobe's hand holding him made Yiben unable to get close to the basketball.

In this way, Kobe held the ball, lowered his center of gravity, and his habitual three-threat pace reappeared.

The next second, Gasol came to pick and roll, and Kobe started immediately!

But the direction of Kobe's breakthrough was not the side where Gasol set up a screen. Kobe knew that Yiyang would be fooled, so he went to the side where there was no screen, a fake pick-and-roll!

Yiyang was indeed deceived, but he immediately turned around and chased after him. To Kobe's surprise, this guy Yiyang actually stuck to him again in an instant! What a terrifying speed!

Yiyang followed closely behind Kobe, and Kobe also knew that Yiyang, like Wade, was a guard who was good at chasing and taking big risks. But this is the end of the matter, Kobe will not be afraid.

After he stepped into the three-second zone, he took off directly and raised the basketball high to lay up.

Yiyang jumped up immediately, but Kobe's layup was very tricky. He tried his best to stretch his hand forward, and Yiben, who was separated behind Kobe, couldn't touch the basketball.

Yiyang couldn't complete the block, and these two points seemed to have become Kobe's pocket. However, the Mavericks' paint isn't that easy to capture right now.

In Kobe's vision, Tyson Chandler suddenly jumped out. In the next second, Chandler slammed the basketball that Kobe had just dropped on the backboard!

"Bang!" The basketball and the backboard collided with a loud noise, and Kobe ground his teeth and landed. Yiyang's post defense greatly slowed down Kobe's advancing speed, and this created the conditions for Chandler's supplementary defense.

"Extremely wonderful blocking! Also and Chandler worked together to defend Kobe. Now that the Mavericks have the ball, can they further narrow the point difference?" From 14 points to 5 points, the Mavericks only took a short time Within minutes the gap was narrowed. Mike Brin stared at Kidd intently, the offensive of this group of guys may continue!

This time, Kidd didn't push slowly.

He runs fast, and the Lakers' defense hasn't fully spread out yet.

Kidd walks in the middle, while Yiyang runs along the left side of the court. Seeing that there was a gap in the left defense of the Lakers, Kidd immediately passed the ball out while running!

The target of Kidd's pass is none other than this year's Sixth Man of the Year winner Yiyang. This guy caught the basketball and smeared into the three-point line, but Kobe's defense could not be defeated so easily.

Kobe has been clinging to Yiyang's side all the time, although it is very difficult, but it doesn't let Yiyang take advantage of it.

Seeing that Kobe could not rely on speed, Yiyang suddenly pulled the ball back under his crotch in the process of advancing at high speed, and stopped abruptly without warning!

Kobe, who was retreating close to Yiyang, also forcibly changed his center of gravity. He staggered, but quickly adjusted himself and jumped up again. Kobe knew that he was almost knocked down by Yiyang just now! The ability of that guy to pull the emergency stop is really outstanding!

After pulling back, Yiyang stabs to the left. But even if Kobe blocks it, it seems that Yiyang, a rookie, still has no chance.

But in the next second, Yiyang suddenly changed direction in a big arc, changing the direction of his breakthrough to the right!

This time, Kobe couldn't guard against him, he hastily followed up, but was still thrown away by Yiyang.

Yiyang jumped up against Kobe with his back, and at the same time, Bynum defended from the other side. Both Kobe and Bynum raised their arms in the air. If Yiyang layup directly, he would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

So, Yiyang, who was leaning against Kobe in the air, raised the basketball, but instead of making a layup, he swung it down in a circle.

After avoiding Bynum's blocking, Yiyang just brought the ball up again, flicking his wrist lightly. The basketball escaped the blocking of Kobe and Bynum, and fell into the net hollow.

At the same time that the basketball fell into the net, the referee standing under the basket also blew his whistle. Kobe Bryant made a defensive foul, and Yiyang made a layup and was punished!

"here you go!"

"This ball is so fucking beautiful!"

"We love you! Also!"

As soon as the whistle fell, the American Airlines Center Arena was boiling. Yiyang used a series of exquisite dribbling moves to break through Kobe, and finally leaned on the "Black Mamba" to complete a beautiful pull-bar layup. Then this pull-bar layup actually gave Yiyang a chance to play 2+1.

The Mavericks players came up to high-five Yiyang one after another, but there was no wave on Yiyang's face.

Kobe did not argue with the referee, but stood still and shook his head. Kobe can't make a mistake. This show is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

At the free throw line, Yiyang, who was as calm as water, made a free throw. This also means that the Lakers, who originally led by 14 points, now only have a 2-point advantage in their hands.

Maybe it was Yiyang's goal that greatly stimulated Kobe, or maybe it was the forced close score that forced Kobe to react.

In the following games, Kobe regained his form. He scored in various unreasonable ways, which also made Yiyang see the real horror of Kobe.

Nowitzki's words are right. From the perspective of fans, Kobe is a good idol. But from the opponent's point of view, Kobe is the kind of "pesky" that no one wants to meet.

The Mavericks managed to get close to the score. After "Zen Master" called a few timeouts and replaced Odom in excellent form, the Lakers also got back on track.

The game began to become tense, the Lakers failed to open the score, and the Mavericks, led by Nowitzki, Yiyang and Kidd, were also clinging to the defending champion.

During the period, the coaches of both sides also made personnel adjustments and different tactical deployments. But the situation has not changed.

The two teams were tit-for-tat and still played inextricably. In the last minute of the game, the two sides tied. At this time, in order for the Mavericks to have a steady three-point firepower at the critical moment, Carlisle used Terry and Yiyang to partner the back line.

Doing so can indeed make the Mavericks' attack points more stable outside the three-point line. After all, Terry's long-range shots are indeed more sure than Kidd. But at the same time, Kobe's obstacles on the defensive end have also become smaller.

In the first three quarters of the game, Kobe scored a terrifying 30 points. But after the game entered the fourth quarter, perhaps because of physical reasons, Kobe's state declined instead.

If it weren't for the two forwards Odom and Gasol, the Lakers might not even be able to keep the tie at this moment.

But the paranoid Kobe would not stop taking shots because of his poor state in the fourth quarter. At a critical moment like the last minute of the game, Kobe naturally took control of the ball for halftime.

"You shoot, just shoot here! What? Don't you dare!?" When Kobe took control of the ball and came in front of the three-point line, Terry, who was defending the "Black Mamba", started his trash talk mode.

He knew that Kobe didn't feel good in the fourth quarter, so he dared to stimulate Kobe's nerves at the three-point line.

Kobe gritted his teeth and looked at Terry, then at his teammates who were running. The playful eyes of the "Jets" made Kobe, who was extremely competitive, feel a great humiliation.

Suddenly, Kobe took off without warning and made a jumper. Terry's reaction was not slow either. He completed the block immediately, and Kobe threw the basketball in his hand under serious interference.

Terry was overjoyed, Kobe's paranoid character really made him great. But sometimes, it hurts myself!

Just when Terry was about to look back and "appreciate" the scene of Kobe shooting and hitting the iron, the basketball fell straight into the net and didn't even touch the basket!

"Fuck, this pervert!" Terry knew that instead of embarrassing Kobe, he made himself the background board for Kobe to stage a good show.

Terry turned his head, just in time to see Kobe wagging his finger gently at himself.

This domineering scene made Mike Brin, who was sitting on the commentary stand, get goose bumps all over his body.

"Kobe's pull-up jumper gave the Lakers a three-point lead at a critical moment. This shot is the best embodiment of Kobe's personal ability. Terry's defense is perfect, but perfect defense still cannot prevent Kobe ball!"

With 50 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks trailed by three points. It can be said that the pressure is now all on the shoulders of the Mavericks.

This time, the Lakers did not defend the position, but adopted a full-court tight defense strategy. The Mavericks must be careful of the Lakers' blocking from the bottom line.

Kobe personally brought up to mark Yiyang, and Yiyang used a quick back run to finally get out of the way and get the space to catch the baseline ball.

Chandler passed the ball, and Yiyang caught it and ran. But Kobe also posted it immediately to prevent Yiyang from getting up to speed easily. Before halftime, the two sides began a fierce entanglement.

The advantage of pressing the defense all over the court is that it can put pressure on the opponent at the first time, and even force the opponent to make a mistake before halftime.

But the disadvantage is that the team's defensive position will be very loose. If the opponent has a defender with strong breakthrough ability, it will directly penetrate the entire defense line!

The physical confrontation that Kobe brought to Yiyang was very intense, and it was very difficult for Yiyang to push forward every step. Seeing this situation, Marion also ran back to his own half and made a pick-and-roll for Yiyang. With the help of Marion's pick-and-roll, Yiyang broke free from Kobe's death entanglement.

But after breaking free, Yiyang was like a runaway wild horse, rushing frantically towards the Lakers penalty area, and no one could stop him.

Due to the use of the full-court press defense, the Lakers' players are very loose. Not long after Yiyang gained speed, he plunged into the restricted area.

Gasol was guarding Dirk, who was standing outside the three-point line and was ready to catch the ball at any time. Odom took a look at the situation on the field and decided to defend the basket himself to give Yiyang a good look!

This year, Odom performed well. When the Lakers lacked a major general, he was always able to step up and help the team tide over the difficulties.

If it wasn't for the fact that Yiyang, a rookie, turned out, the Best Sixth Man Award would definitely belong to him. But when the NBA officially announced that Yiyang became the winner of the best sixth man award in the regular season this season, Odom was very disappointed.

Now, Odom has a chance to prove himself. He wants to stop that rookie's attack with his own hands under the eyes of the whole world! Let the journalists and media who voted take a good look at who is the veritable best sixth man!

Yiyang stepped into the three-second zone and jumped vigorously. At the same time, Odom rushed from the side, trying to slap the basketball in Yiyang's hand.

Two black shadows met in the air from different directions, and finally collided together.

Although Odom is not as good as Yiyang in jumping, he is tall and has long arms. This guy raised his arms high in the air, but unexpectedly, Yi Yang crushed him!

Yiyang gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain from the violent collision in the air. He leaned on Odom with one hand, and raised the basketball with the other and threw it into the hoop. In the end, it was Odom who raised his arm high, and dunked the ball into the frame with one hand!

?Basketball is like a weapon in Yiyang's hands. Yiyang picked it up and stabbed the heart of the Lakers with one blow, which aroused great brilliance.

Odom didn't expect such a thin guy to burst out with such great strength. The blow just now was really too fast, and the inertia was too great... Odom, who was in the air, couldn't stop him at all!

At this moment, the entire American Airlines Center Arena seems to be a pot of boiling water, making non-stop gurgles.

? This time, Carlisle on the sidelines was not restrained. When the basketball was thrown into the frame by Yiyang, he jumped up suddenly. Turning around in the air, after landing, I couldn't wait to hug the people around me one by one.

did you see it? defending champion. Today, we will fight to the end and never give up! 8)
