Chapter 201: The most fun

The Lakers' plan to "fight for Gary" was completely disrupted due to the successive injuries of O'Neal and Fox.

Because there is O'Neal in the team, they dared to let go and let Gary Payton play the main attack, so that he can have a complete joy, enjoy the fun, and return home in glory.

Then, he used his own performance to slap Schultz and Walker hard in the big mouth.

But at present, the Lakers' most obvious advantage is gone.

Will this plan continue to be implemented?

After all, Payton is not the most stable scoring point in the team, and he is already 36 years old.

The Zen master did not express his opinion.

Kobe summoned everyone, and he is now the leader of the team. What he wants to do is to stabilize the morale of the army.

There are many unfavorable factors in the away game. Once the mentality changes, it is easy to be chased by the opponent and beaten by the butt.

What's more, the Supersonics are still a team with strong outside long shot ability.

"Listen to guys, although we don't have Shaq now, we have to keep our defensive strength and not let them get a three-pointer easily. Remember our slogan tonight?"

"fight    for      gary!" The teammates replied in unison.

"Yes, come on, everyone!" Kobe said firmly.

When other players appeared one after another, Kobe grabbed Chen Cheng and showed a strange smile on his face.

"Brother, do we want tonight? It's a big fun?"

"It's a big fun?" Chen Cheng was a little puzzled.

Kobe glanced at Payton's back.

Chen Cheng immediately understood.

Kobe's intention is still to let Payton attack, and he and Chen Cheng protect the situation.

Doing this requires a lot of risks. If Payton's offensive firepower is insufficient, or the offensive continuity is too poor, it is very likely that the supersonic shooter group will seize the opportunity and suppress it in a wave of time.

"You dare not play, right?" Kobe said "provocatively".

"Don't dare? What a joke, Lewis is handed over to me, Lei Allen is handed over to you, whoever defends scores the most goals tonight, who will invite you to have midnight snacks?" Chen Cheng happily accepted his invitation.

"That's it." The two of them slapped their high-highs and stepped onto the court.

Daniels received the ball, Payton continued to hold on, and the trash words on his mouth kept stimulating his eardrums.

However, he was unmoved and still organized the offense in a straightforward manner and dribble forward.

He was the rookie of the same year as Duncan and was selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies in the fourth pick in the first round.

After only one season on behalf of the Grizzlies, they went to the San Antonio Spurs to be trained by Popovich.

Although he is not the No. 1 player with outstanding characteristics.

However, being able to play for four seasons under Popovich's system and playing time has increased year by year shows that he is definitely a trustworthy No. 1 player with certain defensive abilities.

Daniels used Payton's defense to pass the ball through the half. Ray Allen used Potapanko's cover to catch the ball from the right at 45 degrees.

Kobe could only try hard to bypass the cover. Ray Allen's hand was raised. Kobe no longer hesitated and quickly jumped to interfere.

However, Ray Allen just made a fake shooting move. After tricking Kobe, he accelerated the dribble and broke into the inside. Facing Med's belated fixture, he made a one-handed dunk.

"boom! A powerful dunk from Ray~Allen!"

First he dribbled past Kobe, then rushed into the inside to complete the dunk.

The performance of his own star instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Beautiful job, Allen!"

"You have to do this kind of dunk a few more times to be strong."

"Turn the Lakers back to Los Angeles and don't give them a chance to go wild in Seattle."

While nodding, Allen got up and went back to step in to defend the game.

He is such a player. He rarely sees anyone who is passionate about him on the court. Just like his nickname "gentleman", his behavior on the court is always so gentleman.

However, this gentleman is never ruthless in the game. The three-pointer with one sword is his deadly weapon.

But now, O'Neal, the biggest obstacle to the Lakers' inside line, has already come off the court.

We should firmly implement the coach's intentions and take this opportunity to cause damage to the inside. When the Lakers begin to shrink their defense, their three-point guns will be at their real power.

"Chen Cheng team got one point first!" Chen Cheng stretched out his index finger and gestured at Kobe.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning, and the good show is still coming." Kobe said, running straight to the offensive half.

Med serves outside the border, Payton pushes forward with the ball, Daniels holds his torso and presses step by step.

If it were in the past, such a defense that was pressing forward, Payton could have been cleaned by a sudden acceleration on his back.

Unfortunately, time is unforgivable, so he continued to try to speed up, but Daniels judged the route of travel and blocked it in time.

"How about Gary, why don't he use a dunk to complete the attack like Allen just now?" Daniels fired back at this moment.

Payton controls the ball with one hand, looking for an offensive opportunity, and of course he can't be idle either.

"When I snatched it from Jordan, and then he watched me finish the one-handed dunk, you were still sipping in your mother's arms."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Cheng passed by around the bottom line and found a chance to have a large space.

Payton hesitated a little, but eventually gave the ball over.

According to Chen Cheng's style of play, as long as this ball is given to him, Lewis' defense can't keep up with him, and he can directly complete the shot.

But to his surprise, Chen Cheng received the ball but did not take action, but instead gave a wink at Payton.

The ball was close to the right corner position, and Lewis caught up.

A big man like him is a little unable to keep up with Chen Cheng's pace. Once he speeds up, he will obviously be unable to hold back.

Chen Cheng had a chance to pass his defense in one step.

Therefore, Potapanko, who was inside, immediately moved to the right and was ready to help him make up for defense.

Kobe suddenly started at this moment. Med mentioned that he would come forward to cover him, so that he could come to the right position at 45 degrees to prepare for the ball.

At the same time, Ray Allen and Booth attracted double-teaming Kobe. At this time, the supersonic inside was empty.

Payton instantly understood Chen Cheng's intention, ran back, pulled Daniels away with both hands, and cut directly into the inside line. Chen Cheng made a straight pass and gave it to Payton accurately.

Facing the empty supersonic penalty area, Peyton old man chatted and leaped high with all his strength, and pushed the ball into the basket at the highest point.

Although it was just a slight deduction, it was deducted.

With this goal, Payton's overall complexion immediately became different.

He roared and pointed his hand at the location where Schultz and Walker were.

"There are many such dunks tonight. Open your eyes and look at them."

As he said that, he supported his hands on his eyelids and stared at them, staring at them.

Chen Cheng walked past him, Payton put away his performance and took the initiative to reach out.

"A very beautiful passer, rookie, very good as a brother back then. To be honest, I didn't expect you to pass the ball to me."

Chen Cheng reached out to brim him, responded with a smile: "fight    for       gary! Enjoy your night, old guy! Leave the rest to us young people."

Payton's face instantly smiled, and his expression was exaggerated to point at Chen Cheng and complained to Grant behind him.

"Did you hear it? Horace, this rookie actually called me old     guy. It seems that I must prove it to him tonight, how did my brother play back then, and then he would clean up these little guys from the Supersonics team to obey."

As he said that, Payton once again rushed to Daniels with his claws to defend.
