One Guard

No matter how deep the friendship is usually in private, at this moment, everyone is an enemy when they meet. If you are an enemy, don't talk so much nonsense, and the outcome will be seen on the court. What's more, the personal relationship between Yiyang and Kobe is not good enough to allow them to tease each other on the court.

???? If the Mavericks win today, then Yiyang will hug Kobe after the game. But now, this Chinese rookie won't even give the other party a smile. Even the "Black Mamba" used to be Yiyang's favorite idol.

In the following game, Bynum played a dominant performance in the interior, scoring 10 points in a single quarter. Of course, there is also the help of the referee, which gave Bynum several chances to get to the free throw line. But Kobe's sluggish state still made the Lakers waste too many good opportunities.

Kidd's organization and Yiyang's strong aggressiveness allowed the Mavericks to keep their lead before the end of the first quarter. Whenever the Lakers want to tie the score, Kidd can use a scalpel-like precise pass to cut through the Lakers' defense. Whenever the Lakers are about to tie the score, Yiyang will always use another score to stabilize the situation.

32 to 27, the defending champion Lakers trailed by 5 points at home. And the Mavericks scored 32 points in a single quarter, which shows how weak the Lakers' defense is in front of the Mavericks' jump shots.

"The first quarter belonged entirely to the Dallas Mavericks! In these 12 minutes, although the Lakers got more shots, it was the Dallas Mavericks who really seized the opportunity. They used less In the first quarter, the Lakers still made 0 three-pointers. In the last game, they took the 16th three-pointer and finally hit it. Today, will this number continue to increase? What about it?" Although the point difference on the court was not that big, Mike Breen still expressed his concerns about the Lakers.

Phil Jackson had a gloomy face. It had been a long time since he stood on the sidelines and watched a whole quarter of the game. But today's game made it impossible for "Zen Master" to sit on the bench.

As for Carlisle, he is very excited now. You know, what they are leading is not a cat or a dog, but the Los Angeles Lakers who have just won two consecutive championships and the winning team has not changed much!

But Carlisle didn't show his emotions. He didn't want his players to let their guard down.

"Good job, the Lakers have been beaten by us. Kobe's state is still not good today, the Lakers can't find an offensive core at all. But don't be too happy, with a team like the Lakers, if you don't play You don't know what's going to happen until the last second. In the second quarter, Yi and Kidd, you two continue to partner at the back line. Yi, I want you to put pressure on Kobe on both ends of the offense and defense now! As long as If Kobe is completely crushed, the Lakers will have no hope!" With a big wave of his hand, Carlisle entrusted the most important task to Yi Yang, a rookie.

Yi Yang nodded, beat Kobe... that sounds crazy!

Vanessa and Bryant's two daughters sat in the front row of Staples Center, next to the Lakers bench. At this time, the fans are discussing how the Lakers will play next to reverse the score. But in Vanessa's eyes, Kobe is the only one.

Kobe had a towel around his neck, and he was lying on the chair in a "big" shape, his chest heaving violently.

Even during the short period of rest between festivals, Kobe had to apply ice to his ankles and knees to try to improve his pain in these two places.

Seeing this, Vanessa felt a tingle in her heart. But before Kobe could rest for a long time, the electronic buzzer sounded on the field.

The man had to stand up again and walked towards the fierce competition...

As soon as the game started, the cameras of the on-site photographers pointed at Kobe. Then at the bottom of the screen, Kobe's stats for today were displayed.

1 of 5 shots and only 5 points. This is Kobe's performance in the first quarter of the game. His efficiency value today has naturally become a negative number.

"Bryant is a competitive player. The more intense the competition, the better his performance. I believe that in the next three quarters, Kobe will find his own state." Kyle Thompson is still giving Kobe To put it bluntly, what he said also represents the wish of every Lakers fan.

With swelling and pain, Kobe limped to the court. But after jumping up and down twice on the court, Kobe became just like everyone else.

"Man..." Seeing Kobe running slowly, Yiyang said to himself in his heart...

After the first attack after the opening of the second quarter, the Lakers' tactics became much simpler. Phil Jackson replaced Lamar Odom, which means that all four of the Lakers can open up chances for Bynum to create singles at the basket.

The four stood outside the three-point line, Fisher hit the ground and passed the ball, and Bynum opened his big hand to grab the ball firmly.

In the first quarter, Bynum scored 10 points alone. It can be said that without his outstanding performance, the Lakers may have collapsed by now.

So when the ball came up in the second quarter, Bynum was still the Lakers' first choice. But the tricky part is that Chandler is a top rim protector. It's not an easy way to score Bynum and Chandler.

This time, Bynum pushed in several times. But looking at his feet, he didn't seem to have advanced much. Chandler was determined to fight Bynum to the end. Even if the referee was against him, the "king of boxing" was not as timid as he was at the beginning.

Seeing that the back-up time limited by the rules was about to end, Bynum had no choice but to forcibly hook his hand.

Although Bynum shot the ball very well, but under Chandler's interference and a little distance from the basket, the ball was still a hair's breadth away from the goal. The basketball knocked out of the frame, the most stable offensive point of the Lakers today, and now they don't score any goals!

Bynum missed a shot, and the Lakers retreated immediately, leaving no room for the Mavericks to use. Kidd was not in a hurry, he dribbled the ball slowly and walked forward. While walking, he gestured and directed his teammates to run in place. As soon as he stepped across the midfield line, the basketball in Kidd's hand was suddenly released like a bullet!

The target of that "bullet" was none other than Yiyang who was running along the trend.

Yiyang didn't stop after receiving the basketball, and immediately changed direction in front of his body to the left, trying to wipe Kobe directly.

Kobe's reaction was not slow, but as soon as he started to move laterally, the pain from his ankle and knee made him a little slower and dragged his movements.

This lingering time is completely enough for the extremely fast Yiyang! After changing direction and getting up again, Yiyang successfully broke through his idol, and the rest of the Lakers blocked Yiyang's passing route. They would rather let Yiyang score by himself than let him drive the whole team to score together.

Facing the "big gift" from the Lakers, Yiyang jumped up high, straightened his body in the air, and shot the ball softly.

Kobe, who was once the strongest player, could only watch Yiyang, a rookie, take an easy shot on his head, and finally hit the basketball.

"I don't know why, but Bryant's movement seems to have slowed down a lot in the past two days. Kobe could have blocked the shot just now, but this time, he easily succeeded in breaking through. Bryant's injury seems to be continuing."

Hearing what Mike Breen said, many fans remembered that Kobe's state is indeed not very good these days. He seems to rarely step into the three-second zone, and he has regressed in a mess on the defensive end.

A young man actually attacked a wounded veteran! ? The image of Yiyang as a "bad guy" in the hearts of Los Angeles fans is becoming more and more plump.

"You are so rotten...you are so rotten...you are so rotten..." In the stands, shouts related to Yiyang came out. But Yiyang didn't care, he knew that if the injured person was himself, Kobe would not show mercy.

After Yiyang scored a goal, the point difference was widened to 7 points again. In the next round, the Lakers still followed the arrangement of "Zen Master" Jackson and tried their best to get to the basket for opportunities.

Odom held the ball at 45° from the middle distance on the left, trying to break through Nowitzki with his faster footsteps.

This almighty warrior did indeed do so, and Nowitzki seemed a bit caught off guard by Odom's sudden breakthrough.

When Odom reached the basket and jumped for a layup, Chandler made up for it from the side and vigorously slapped the basketball away from Odom's hands.

Chandler did this ball cleanly, and the referee couldn't find any faults at all. As a result, the defending champions had to silently accept the fact that their offense failed again.

The ball is fanned out of bounds and the Lakers throw the baseline. For this ball, Gasol wanted to pass the ball directly to Kobe outside the diagonal three-point line, because Kobe was on the weak side, and he would have a better chance to break through after receiving the ball.

However, such a long-distance pass, how can Gasol, the inside line, grasp it well? The Spaniard had a good idea, but execution was not the same thing.

Gasol threw the basketball high, and Kobe couldn't help but take two steps back, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch the ball at all. Gasol passed the ball well, because Kobe was close to the sideline, so if Kobe can't catch the ball, the person who grabs the ball is very likely to touch him out of bounds.

Just when the basketball was about to fall into Kobe's arms, as expected, a blue figure flashed out.

The visitor's fingers touched the basketball, but he didn't hold it firmly. The basketball flies out of bounds. Just when all the Lakers players thought it would be a foul, the No. 1 guard flew directly into the audience and got the basketball back!

Yiyang fell into the auditorium. At the same time, the basketball fell into Kidd's hands. Kidd advanced quickly. This is a good opportunity to fight back!

Bryant tried to chase back, and at the same time the Lakers also reacted quickly. Kidd's current speed is not fast, which also creates conditions for the Lakers to return to defense.

Kidd stepped into the three-point line, and Kobe's body slammed into it.

"Bryant, he blocked the Mavericks' fast break!" Kyle Thompson excitedly waved his fist, applauding Kobe's beautiful defense. However, at this moment, a blue lightning flashed across Thompson's eyes.

When the "lightning" turned his back, he saw the number behind that person, 1.

Kidd, a guy with a wide vision, naturally noticed this, and he suddenly jumped directly against Kobe, throwing the ball into the air at will.

Kobe froze for a second, then immediately understood. But... this is simply impossible!

Turning around, Kobe really saw Yiyang jumping high, like jumping up to pick an apple from a tree, and grabbed the basketball with one hand in the air.

After that, Yiyang's body suddenly fell due to gravity. He also took advantage of the trend and swung the basketball hard into the basket!

"A powerful alley-oop dunk, also, when did this guy jump out!?" Mike Brin's surprised voice called out the aspirations of most Lakers fans.

Yiyang had obviously fallen into the crowd just now, but now he teamed up with Kidd to complete a beautiful alley-oop goal. Everyone's mouths are wide open, it doesn't make sense at all.

"It's impossible!" Kyle Thompson put his head in his hands in disbelief. No player has such speed.

But from now on, such a person is officially born in the NBA!

"Damn it, serve!" Kobe picked up the basketball on the ground and handed it to Gasol. At this moment, "Black Mamba" is already full of fire, and the only thing he wants to do now is to rush over and fight back!

Gasol sent the bottom line ball at will, but as soon as the ball was released, Gasol's expression became frightened.

"Small......"

Before Gasol finished speaking, Kobe looked back in the direction of Gasol's eyes. The next second, Yiyang suddenly appeared in front of Kobe, and Kobe hurriedly turned around to hug the basketball with both hands, and passed through Kobe's body, like the sea breeze this morning, rolled up Kobe's jersey.

Yiyang was still one step ahead of Kobe and poked the ball away. After grabbing the basketball, he took three steps directly and scored with both hands hanging on the frame.

"Second steal in a row! It also caused the opponent's mistake directly when the Lakers sent the baseline ball! God, he is too fast, and his judgment on the passing line is too sensitive! It was almost an instant, that is, He rushed to Kobe's side. Even Gasol didn't have time to remind him! The Lakers trailed by 11 points, and the point difference was also widened to two points!"

Accompanied by Mike Brin's passionate shout, Yiyang let go and landed, looking at Gasol and Kobe who were still stunned. Poker-faced, trot back to defense.

Start pressing from the baseline, what ball can't that guy get away with?

The 11-point difference was heavy on Kobe, who was plagued by injuries. The defending champion's road to the playoffs may really come to an end here. 8)
