At the start of the second quarter, except for Shaq and Fisher, the rest of the starting lineup came on stage. Kobe replaced Fisher as the point guard.
Kobe had yet to score. At the end of the first quarter, he was only doing his job of offense and defense. After all, Jones could score on the field besides him.
Now, because Harris had asked him to play as a point guard, his opponent had become John Xun, who was a head shorter than him. It would be a shame if he did not play this natural advantage.
The Suns did not get into the first wave of offense. Big Ben was stuck in position, and Kobe easily grabbed the defensive rebound. This was also the strategy Xiao Yang had arranged for the rookies.
Ben shouldn't take the initiative to grab the rebound on the defensive end. The most important thing was to block the position and let the back position grab the rebound. This was because the guard could launch a fast attack immediately after the rebound, so as to prevent Ben from passing the rebound to the guard and wasting time.
In the future, the Thunderclap, as well as the Los Angeles Clippers and other teams, did the same. The Thunderclap's Adams had more backboards in the front field than in the back field. The Los Angeles Clippers 'Lopes often did not have as many backboards as the defenders. It was precisely because of their spirit of sacrifice for the team that the defenders created fast break opportunities time and time again to score easily.
Kobe did not choose to pass the ball this time. After grabbing the board, he took advantage of the fact that the Suns 'defensive position was not in place to dribble the ball and speed up his fast break.
The good grip of the Heavenly Foot made Kobe feel like a fish in the water. It was as if he was already faster by a few tenths of a second. He was like a high-speed sports car heading straight into the Sun's Forbidden Zone.
John Xun's speed was not slow either. He followed closely behind Kobe. He believed that he would be able to poke the ball away the moment Kobe exposed it.
"Don't even think about it!" Kobe saw John's figure from the corner of his eye and used the rhythm to suddenly stop. It was as if a Ferrari had stepped on the brakes, and the sneakers squeaked as they rubbed against the floor.
John, who was on the defensive side, did not have time to react. The inertia had sent him from behind Kobe to the front. At this time, the two were already inside the Suns 'penalty area, one step away from the reasonable collision zone.
"It's not that easy to miss me!" The veteran's pride did not allow John Xun to give up just like that. He twisted his body forcefully and pounced at Kobe. He did not want Kobe to complete a ten-point shot even if it was a foul.
" You can't stop me." Kobe even flashed a bright smile at John Xun. His white teeth hurt John Xun's eyes.
Kobe took advantage of the situation and dribbled from behind. He switched his right hand to his left hand, and his body instantly separated from John's pouncing body. He dodged the foul in a split second, then collected the ball, took a step, and jumped!!!
dunk!! Kobe's signature backhand dunk!!
"Beep beep beep ~" Defensive foul, valid goal, additional penalty! John fell back the moment Kobe crossed paths with him. He wanted to cheat an offensive foul. The referee knew what these old hooligans were thinking.
Not to mention that John Xun's feet were not clean at all at that moment. He was still walking. He was even standing in the reasonable collision zone. He dared to play this game right under the referee's eyes. He was a thousand-year-old fox. What was there to talk about? Blocking a foul.
Boom! The referee's whistle ignited the atmosphere at Staples. The entire stadium exploded with excitement!
The commentator, Cheekhern, who had the reputation of being the voice of the Laker, even swore in front of the audience." Son of a b * tch, I like this kid. Haha, I love basketball!”
Xiao Yang stared at the red-faced, blue veins bulging out of Hearn in the commentator's seat, dumbstruck. He was afraid that the old man would explode from his excitement.
However, Xiao Yang could understand the old man's excitement, because he was even more excited at the moment. To be precise, if Charaz had not maintained his rationality and held onto Xiao Yang tightly, he might have already started stripping on the sidelines.
F * ck, I've seen another exciting scene of Kobe's career. Xiao Yang, who was a Comet in his previous life, couldn't be happier ~
Kobe was very calm at the moment. Perhaps he was born a cold-blooded killer. He did not feel anything when it came to a goal that had nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
The penalty shot steadily went in, and the score continued to widen.
O'Neal even put on his coat. It seemed that he was very satisfied to be lazy. He hoped that the substitutes of the Los Angeles team could solve the battle and he would no longer be needed to play.
Because of Kobe's slam dunk, the morale of the Los Angeles Clippers was high. If they were playing a game, they would definitely see that the morale bar of the Los Angeles Clippers was full and red. The morale bar of the Phoenix Suns would probably be represented by the cold blue color, and the morale would drop to the lowest.
John Xun stopped chattering with the referee. He knew that it was useless. He just wanted to give the referee a little pressure. He hoped that the referee would be slightly influenced by the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns were attacking. The team's spirit was gone. After a few simple cross-positions, they all stopped moving. John Xun looked at his teammates with a toothache. The point guard was most afraid of teammates standing still. No matter how awesome a player was, they would be caught off guard if they encountered a teammate who did not move.
Do it yourself! John Xun's gaze turned sharp. At this moment, the leader needed to stand up and reignite the morale of his teammates.
Lowering his center of gravity and increasing his dribbling frequency, John kept dribbling in front of Kobe.
Kobe bent down and placed his hands on his thighs, clutching his basketball shorts tightly.
"Come on! Old man, show me your ability! I hope you still have gas in your tank!”Kobe muttered trash talk in a low voice.
"Very good, rookie. I hope your legs are as powerful as your mouth!”Before John could finish his reply, he rushed into the line.
Kobe was about to reply, but in the instant he relaxed, John pushed him half a body away.
"Hey, Danny!"
John suddenly raised his head and shouted at Kobe.
Kobe subconsciously raised his center of gravity, thinking that John was going to give an empty pass and wanted to reach out to intercept.
"Hehe, little rookie!"
John didn't pass the ball out. He only used a look up and a sentence to make a feint to pass the ball. With the experience of a veteran, it was obvious that the rookie had been fooled.
Using Kobe's change in center of gravity, John Xun successfully trapped Kobe behind him. His left hand hugged Kobe's waist tightly, and he used his hand to support the ball as he threw the ball high into the air.
Kobe raised his hand, but his body was caught by John. He could only watch as the basketball brushed past his fingertips.
It was a high parabola, and the basketball hit the board and entered the hoop.
"Newbie, welcome to the NBA!”
John Xun ran past Kobe as he spoke.
Kobe looked at John's back with a dark expression. He gritted his teeth, caught Big Ben's serve, and slowly dribbled the ball to the front of the court.
The Suns players recovered from the shock of John Xun's goal and stopped daydreaming on the court.
The two sides entered a tug-of-war. With six minutes left in the second quarter, O'Neal returned and continued to wreak havoc inside the Suns.
He didn't give up the game, but he wanted to kill Shark.
Obviously, his strategy worked. O'Neal made two of his six free throws. The Suns managed to close the score to 50 - 54 before halftime, only four points away.
" The Sharks 'free throws are such a pain in the ass." Xiao Yang slapped his forehead and looked at the Laker girl who was performing in the middle of the court. He had come from the era of the Laker team in his previous life, which had the lowest free throw percentage in the league. That team had lost many games because of free throws. Now, when they saw players who did not make free throws, they felt a pain in the ass, as if they were allergic.
Soon, the midfield ended, and both sides went on stage to continue the game.
Kobe was still playing point guard in place of Fisher, but no one cared what position he played.
The audience's eyes were on the blue and red shoes on Kobe's feet.
Hearn even exclaimed in the commentator's box," Let's see the shoes our little guy is wearing. Oh my god, did the little guy wear the wrong shoes in the locker room in midfield?”
The big screen in the stadium even gave a close-up of Kobe's feet. The red and blue shoes looked particularly flashy.
Of course, the audience did not think that Kobe had worn the wrong shoes. The two shoes were so brightly colored and had such a huge difference. They did not even need to look at them. They could see the difference in the corner of their eyes.
If it was not a mistake, then this pair of shoes was like this!
Fan A: " Such a flashy color. It's simply tailor-made for me. I wonder where they sell it. I'm going to get a pair."”
Fan B: " This rookie is so awesome. These two pairs of autographed shoes seem to be very good. What manufacturer is it?”
Fan C: " This rookie is quite handsome! I want honey!"
……
……
……
At the same time, outside of the Staples Stadium, next to the advertisement photo of the Heavenly Footballers, the original silhouette photo had changed into a pair of lovebirds shoes. Next to it were the words Kobe: Classic Lovebirds.
Xiao Yang was grinning from ear to ear. It was as if he could see dollars falling from the sky and burying himself in the green Franklin.
Obviously, the debut of these two pairs of shoes had stunned the entire audience. Then, it would definitely shock the entire United States. Under Armand would enter the fast lane of development.
"Honey, let me clear your shopping cart. Is one diamond ring enough for each finger?”Xiao Yang hugged Charaz and kissed him hard.
" What…" It was Charaz's turn to be dumbfounded.
I wish everyone all the best in 2019, good health, smooth work, happy love, and a happy family!!! If you're satisfied with it, I'll give you a fresh flower to collect ~~~
