Chapter 766: Battle Between Gods!
In the game between Seattle Supersonics and Lakers, both Yes and Kobe played the entire first quarter.
The score between Lakers and Seattle Supersonics is 40 to 34, but Kobe and Yes scored 24 to 28!
After the first quarter, when Yes and Kobe came off the court, they looked at each other with surprise.
Especially Yes, he and Kobe were one-on-one with each other in the first quarter of this game.
It can be said that Yes was serious in every defense when facing Kobe.
But even so, Kobe still scored 24 points in the first quarter!
Yes now has Kobe's talent on his back. Yes certainly knows what happened to Kobe when one-on-one single defense has no effect on Kobe!
In this game, Kobe's touch is very, very high!
Kobe does not have the talent that I can see the touch, so in the game, many times he will be God in one game and Iron in another. There is no way. I can lock the touch. I am a stubborn talent, so stubborn.
Locked in the bad touch, fortunately this person is Kobe, otherwise the hit rate would be lower. Kobe used his hard power to prop up the hit rate in the game with a bad touch.
It is said that when Kobe's touch is bad, it is ferric oxide. If it were other All-Star players or superstars in the league, they might be ferric oxide under Kobe's touch.
It is precisely because of knowing Kobe's talent characteristics that Yes had a lot of experience in the previous games when facing the Lakers. Even in the first game of his career against the Lakers, facing Kobe with a bad touch, he used the snake release tactic against Kobe.
This can be said to be a tactic that changed the entire league pattern and pitted James to death. It first appeared on Kobe.
Because he knows Kobe's talent, Yes's defense is very good against Kobe. If he detects that Kobe's touch is not good, he doesn't need to defend so hard, giving him a chance to fade away with difficulty. If he detects that Kobe's touch is good, he will stick to him tightly and not give him any easy chance to shoot. Unless Kobe's touch is locked very high, he can still defend Kobe a little.
If Kobe's touch is really locked very high, then with Kobe's offensive skills and experience talent, Kobe is almost invincible on the court.
Just like Kobe in the first quarter of this game, Yes is already defending with all his strength!
He really went all out.
But Kobe still scored 24 points in the first quarter!
He still made Kobe score a lot of difficult goals in the first quarter!
Yes's locked touch in this game was very, very high, and even Yes felt that Kobe's locked touch might not be much worse than his, or even not worse than his!
Kobe is not as surprised as Yes now.
He has psychological expectations for this challenge.
Why must he rush to challenge Yes in this game?
Why did he put his last willful game in this game?
Because the Yes in this game, the most recent Yes is the strongest Yes!
The Yes who scored 88 points again when facing that fat guy!
Kobe could feel that even if the Cavaliers didn't want Yes to score 100 points, Yes would not be able to score 100 points in the face of the Cavaliers' crazy double-teaming and defense, but if Yes wanted, he could become the second player in NBA history to break the 90+ mark!
But in the end, he still chose 88 points!
Because 88 points is a greater blow and slap in the face to that fat guy!
Didn't you say that I can't copy the last game?
I'll copy it for you!
This is a domineering slap in the face that belongs exclusively to Yes!
Yes can perform this level of domineering slap in the face,
which shows that his recent state has really reached its peak.
And he, he can feel that his recent game state and touch have also reached their peak!
Although he, like Yes, could not see the mysterious thing of touch, but in the training game, he tortured Artest and Ariza to death, which was not something that ordinary Kobe could do!
Judging from Yes's defense against him in the first quarter, plus his own performance, he really reached his strongest state in this game!
In this game, he could feel that his touch was better than ever before, even better than the 82-point game against the Raptors!
In this game, he was the strongest in his career!
In this game, he was at the peak of his career skills, experience and touch!
Even if he faced Jordan, he was not inferior!
But facing Yes, he still knew that he was the one at a disadvantage, because he was the challenger!
Before he challenged Yes, he presupposed that he was the strongest himself. The final result was unknown, but in the first quarter, he was definitely at a disadvantage!
Because when he challenged Yes, it was his teammates around him who affected the final result. In the first quarter, it was a simple one-on-one between him and Yes, and his teammates had not yet exerted their strength!
So, he was not that surprised that he was not as good as Yes in the first quarter.
But!
He was the strongest, the strongest in every aspect, but he was still not as good as Yes!
Although he told himself in his heart that he was not surprised, when Kobe came off the court and sat in his seat, Phil Jackson and the Lakers players on the side could still see the shock, excitement and excitement of Kobe sitting in his seat. Excited expression.
Looking at Kobe, Phil Jackson, Randolph Artest and other Lakers players, their faces were full of shock and disbelief.
What words should they use now to describe the first quarter?
Fighting between gods!
"An unprecedented singles duel in NBA history!"
"The ultimate one-on-one challenge that has never been seen in NBA history!"
As the head coach, Phil Jackson couldn't express all the shock and excitement in his heart.
But as the commentator for this game, Barkley doesn't have so many scruples.
All kinds of incredible words were pouring out of his mouth.
Next to him, Kenny Smith, who always likes to complain about Barkley, couldn't find any words to complain about Barkley at this time.
Although he doesn't like Yes very much, nor does he like Kobe very much.
But even he admitted that the words Barkley was yelling to describe the duel between Yes and Kobe were correct, extremely correct.
"No matter how this game develops in the future, no matter whether Yes and Kobe will finally achieve 100 points and win this 100-point game, this game will be remembered by NBA fans forever. !”
"How many times did Yes and Kobe play the magic ball in the first quarter of this game?"
"Before this game, the duel between Yes and Bowen has always been considered the most exciting duel in NBA history!"
"And after the first quarter of this game, everyone needs to revise their opinions a little bit."
"I'm not saying that the duel between Yes and Bowen is not as exciting as the duel between Yes and Kobe. These are two different styles!"
"Kobe and Bowen are two different styles of greatness!"
"Kobe is also the only guy in NBA history who can play the magic ball with Yes!"
"As Michael's closest teammate, I am absolutely convinced that Michael will not be able to compete with Yes!"
"It's not that Michael doesn't have the abilities of Kobe and Yes, but in Michael's heart, he doesn't have the craziness of Kobe and Yes!"
"The shots that Yes and Kobe took in the first quarter were unbelievable to anyone in NBA history except them!"
At the end of the first quarter, the entire Key Arena audience was so shocked that they forgot to shout.
This is especially true for the audience in front of the TV.
At this time, they really don't know how to describe their current mood.
Maybe these words Pippen said in the TNT studio at this time are their current mood!
"I advise all the viewers watching this game in front of the TV, including Michael. I can tell you very clearly now that maybe the showdown between Yes and Bowen can be replicated continuously, but the showdown between Yes and Kobe, this kind of showdown The duel between gods and gods on the offensive end, and between gods and gods, is only this one, and it will never happen again in the future!”
"This unique game will be remembered throughout basketball history!"
Even the people in the Spurs locker room were dumbfounded by Pippen's current craziness.
Pippen is one of the best players in the NBA. They have never seen Pippen be so fair!
"I've said it 10,000 times, you are all misunderstanding me. Any comments I make on TNT are out of love for basketball."
"Those who love basketball will love Yes. If you hate Yes, it means you don't love Yes that much."
"You all say I love Yes, but actually I love basketball!"
"As for Michael, unfortunately, some of my most sincere love for basketball and some of my most sincere expressions of basketball may have had some impact on him, but I can swear that this is all true!"
"I admit that I am indeed short of money. I also admit that after I came to TNT, I got a lot of money, but money cannot insult my love for basketball."
Is this true?
Is Pippen really out of his extreme love for basketball, so much so that he would kill Jordan in a just act of righteousness?
However, after looking away from Pippen, all the Spurs players looked at Bowen.
His eyes were filled with respect and admiration.
Such a divine Yes could actually act like a mortal in front of Bowen!
That's why Pippen said just now that the greatness of the showdown between Yes and Kobe will not affect the greatness of the showdown between Bowen and Yes.
Even the greater the 100-point showdown between Yes and Kobe, the greater Bowen will be!
Many people in front of the TV are watching this game with various complicated emotions. Not only the people from the Spurs, but also many, many people are watching this game with nothing but the expression on their faces. The shock and disbelief are the same, but the thoughts in my heart are completely different.
This is true for the people in front of the TV, this is true for the audience at the scene, and of course the same is true for the players and coaches of both sides involved in the game on the court.
As the head coach of the Lakers, after the first quarter of the game, the whole world can be immersed in the incredible one-on-one showdown between Yes and Kobe.
But he can't be so immersed!
Because he is the head coach of the Lakers, Kobe wants to score 100 points in this game, and get 100 points faster than Yes.
And his goal in this game is to lead the Lakers to defeat the Supersonics and keep his first place in the Western Conference!
In this game, Yes faced Kobe's full defense, took 21 shots, 9 of 21 shots, and scored 28 points in the first quarter!
Look at Yes's hit rate, it doesn't seem so good, the hit rate is not even 45%!
But what if I tell you that in the first quarter of this game, all of Yes's shots were three-pointers?
And they were all super long-distance three-pointers?
All of Yes's shots in the first quarter were in the area two steps outside the three-point line!
All of Yes's points in the first quarter were super long-distance three-pointers!
The reason why the rhythm of the Lakers and the Supersonics in the first quarter of this game was so fast was because Yes didn't fight with Kobe at all.
Whether it was an off-ball or on-ball offense, as long as there was an opportunity, as long as it was past halftime, just throw it directly!
Never make any excessive physical contact with Kobe!
This style of play is almost similar to the unadjusted pull-up shot, one of Yes's five magic skills!
It should be said that Yes's incredible style of play in the first quarter is the combination of the two of his five magic skills, the unadjusted pull-up shot and the unconfrontational running position!
Too confident!
Really too confident!
Yes's confidence in the first quarter really exceeded Phil Jackson's imagination.
In the first quarter, Kobe and Yes were both gods, but they were two gods with completely different styles.
Yes's elegance and swiftness...
Kobe's confrontation and gorgeousness...
Now thinking back to what happened in the first quarter, Phil Jackson still feels his scalp tingling.
Facing such a Yes, how should the Lakers defend? Who should defend?
According to the agreement between Kobe and him, the first quarter is his time with Yes, and the next quarter is Kobe's time with the Lakers!
Kobe will go all out to score, and Yes's defense will be handed over to other Lakers players.
Now, Phil Jackson is very, very troubled, and anyone who encounters such an offensive method that has never appeared before will have a headache!
"It seems that Kobe is still too short and has insufficient influence on Yes!"
Finally, Phil Jackson nodded slightly when he thought of this.
The three remaining defensive players of the Lakers, Artest, Ariza and Batum, are all taller than Kobe!
After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers were led by Randolph, Batum, Ariza, Fisher and Walton, while the Seattle Supersonics were led by Gasol, Millsap, Quentin Richardson, Harden and Barea.
If the first quarter was a fight between Kobe and Yes, and the people watching were stunned, thinking that they were dazzled and came to a different world, then the rotation lineup of the Lakers and the Supersonics in the second quarter was a normal duel that could not be more normal.
Such ordinary and normal just pulled the audience at the scene and in front of the TV back from the incredible emotions.
However, this made Randolph cry.
"I know, every time I play against the Supersonics, it's not smooth!"
As the single inside player and O'Neal of the Lakers' substitute lineup.
It was not so easy for him to play against Millsap before, and now with the addition of Gasol, it is even more difficult.
After five minutes of the second quarter, the score between the Supersonics and the Lakers was tied at 50!
After the timeout, both sides took all the main players again.
"The Lakers have indeed changed their strategy and no longer use Kobe to defend Yes!"
"Now Yes will really face the biggest test!"
A test of one-on-four, or even one-on-five!
In front of the TV, Arenas was very excited and worried.
And at this moment, facing Artest's defense, Yes actually pulled up again in the middle circle!
"..."
Arenas had opened his mouth to an incredible degree at this time.
Artest's height is not Kobe's height!
Although Artest prevented Yes from breaking through, he was at a certain distance from Yes in the middle circle like Kobe, but Artest's interference with Yes's offense when he flew was definitely much stronger than Kobe!
But...
"Swish!"
A crisp sound made the shocked Arenas and the Wizards become sluggish.
On TV, the scene that was once boiling with excitement became dead silent again...
Until, there was a loud explosion!
