Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife Chapter 41

"Go around, go around, go around from the other side? Can't he pass the ball if he can't get past it!"

At the end of the first quarter, Kobe took over the white towel handed over by the staff after the bench and complained to Fisher while wiping his sweat.

He was so excited that the Lakers were naturally at a disadvantage.

At 26-30, the Lakers trailed by four points.

Kobe Bryant scored 8 points in the first quarter, Arenas scored 7 points, the score is similar between the two, but Arenas also sent 3 assists.

The rest of the Wizards are also exerting their strength. Throughout the first quarter, the Lakers have been passive.

Fisher, who did not understand his intentions after communicating several times on the field, became the object of Bryant's complaints.

Fisher showed a depressed expression and did not dare to reply.

He did have a responsibility. When the Wizards screened each other on the perimeter, he couldn't get around in time. Kobe switched defenses with him, but he couldn't get around.

Arenas has 3 assists, basically using his weakness of slow lateral movement to make the ball for his teammates.

Caron Butler was "well fed." He scored 6 points in the first quarter, two of which came from Arenas' mid-range passes.

Can…

What can he do? He is 33 years old, and his inconspicuous physical fitness has further declined, and his lateral movement can't be fast.

On the field, at the beginning of the second quarter, Li Wan came on the field with a replacement lineup, including Kwame Brown.

He looked at Eddie Jordan on the sidelines, his eyes full of fighting intent.

In the 2003-04 season, the first season after Michael Jordan retired for the third time, the 21-year-old Kwame Brown averaged a career-high 10.4 points and 7 rebounds per game.

Horizontal comparison of the same period, this season's "Little Shark" Bynum averaged 13 points and 10 rebounds in three games, the gap is not very big.

Kwame Brown is also confident that he will perform better in the fourth season of his career. In the summer, he also specially practiced shooting. It was only an injury before the start of the training game that kept him out of the whole team's running-in, etc. He returned from injury, and Eddie Jordan's lineup has no place for him.

After that, he had a conflict with Eddie Jordan, and the management chose Eddie Jordan and sent him away.

This made Kwame - Brown's self-confidence hit again, and more and more doubts about his ability.

Just seeing Eddie Jordan, thinking that he didn't pay attention to himself at the beginning, thinking that the Wizards chose him between him and himself, no matter how useless people are, they will have the idea of ​​​​playing brilliantly.

This is true even for Kwame Brown.

There was a lot of boos from the audience.

That was the Washington people who had expected the Wizards to do a great job in the 01-02 season. In their eyes, Kwame Brown ruined everything.

Brown, who was quite fighting, instinctively shrank his head, but was slapped on the back, and when he looked back, it was Li Wan.

"What are you doing, it's our turn!"

Li Wan signaled him to stand. Jordan Farmar also dribbled the ball to the front court at this time. After communicating with Li Wan, he gave the ball to him.

Roger Mason stood across from him.

The man who saved the Spurs' backline in the 2008-09 season is still working hard for a stable long-term contract. Li Wan called Kwame Brown for a high-level pick-and-roll.

This is what "parallel import champions" are best at. Combined with his pick-and-roll awareness, those two traits kept him in the league for 11 years.

Roger reacted quickly, stuck in front of Kwame. Once Li Wanrou took cover, he could squeeze past him immediately.

The basics of this pick-and-roll defense are pretty good.

Li Wan changed direction in front of his body, and simply avoided Kwame-Brown's side, lowered his center of gravity, and made a straight breakthrough.

Roger confronted him for a while, but was unable to stop him and watched Li Wan break through to the free throw line.

Andre Blatche on the inside stopped in front of him. When Li Wan was about to get to him, he took the ball with both hands, shoved it to the right, and passed the ball without looking at the ground. When it hit the ground and bounced up, in front of it, a pair of hands that felt too small for perimeter players covered it.

That's Kwame Brown to follow up.

"Good shot!"

Phil Handy clenched his fist and shouted out involuntarily. The Wizards center was chasing after Kwame Brown with great effort. Bratch pulled Li Wan out of the reasonable collision zone again. The Wizards' inside line was completely empty. He's seen the ease with which Kwame Brown hits the ball.

It's just that Kwame Brown, who had the ball in his hand, took a step forward and was raising the ball when it came out of his hand...

slipped!

I knew it!

Phil Jackson is no surprise.

He once said in front of the media, "I won't let Kwame Brown hold my baby anyway," mocking his "butter hands".

Luckily the ball went to Turiaf.

"Butcher" took the ball, jumped high, and completed the dunk.

Kwame Brown's "mistake" turned into an assist in seconds.

Seeing that he didn't lose a good offensive opportunity because of his own mistakes, Kwame Brown breathed a sigh of relief. But he still didn't dare to look at Li Wan, he felt that he had betrayed Li Wan's trust.

The Wizards fans booed mockingly again.

Kwame-Brown is really still Kwame-Brown, it really hasn't changed at all!

"Defense defense, Kwame, if the opponent is also picking and rolling, you don't lift it up, get stuck at the basket, and you can interfere with him."

Li Wan patted Kwame Brown and put him where he wanted him to be.

When Kua Mei saw that Li Wan didn't mention his mistakes at all, the anxiety in his eyes was much less.

The Wizards' current ball handler is Antonio Daniels.

This is a not very well-known parallel importer. He was the No. 4 overall pick in the first round of 1998. At that time, he pressed McGrady and other active superstars behind him.

But so far, the season's best year is the 00-01 season, but only 9.4 points per game.

I don't often see him on the "parallel" list because he helped Tim Duncan win the championship in 1999.

It's just that since leaving the Spurs ~www.mtlnovel.com~ his performance has gone from bad to worse.

Weaknesses: Unable to adapt to high-intensity confrontation, has always been a surprise soldier on the bench.

"If they pick and roll on the outside, then we change too!"

Li Wan communicated with Vujacic again.

"OK!"

Vujacic didn't hesitate at all and nodded in response. The reckless look when he wanted to "touch" with Li Wan was completely gone.

Antonio's thoughts were in Li Wan's expectation. He crossed the screen with Mason on the outside, and Li Wan immediately switched positions with Vujacic.

Bryant's eyes lit up with this quick switch, which was the speed he always wanted in the first quarter.

Antonio's speed was not bad, he took the lead with a heavy shoulder, and passed Vujacic in the confrontation. But in front of him, Kwame Brown took his place early.

Vujacic forced him to break through from the bottom.

It was also at this time that Kwame Brown understood why Li Wan let him sink to the bottom line and not lean on it.

Knowing that he couldn't force it up, Antonio turned back to Mason, and Li Wan waited halfway through and easily intercepted the pass.

The Lakers' fast break opportunity, Li Wan took the lead, the Wizards only Mason returned to the defense, while Li Wan and Vujacic responded to him on the other side, a fake pass, deceived Mason's center of gravity to shift, Li Wan split with one hand dunk and smash the ball into the basket.

It also made the main player sitting on the Wizards bench smashed to his feet.

After Li Wan's goal, they no longer have the lead, and the starters should return to the court.

Phil Jackson followed the adjustment rhythm on the opposite side and greeted Kobe and others to play.

Kwame Brown was reluctant to end the game. In more than 3 minutes, what left the deepest impression on him was the "hands off". He didn't want to leave Washington with such an impression.
