0172: [Preliminary Influence of the Fallen](1/2)
Jr Smith is quite disgusted with Li Zhen's neither humbleness nor arrogance.
He believes that low-level players like Bruce should look up to him, and should kneel on the ground and offer his real money with both hands. How dare you resist now?
Do you really think you are Bruce Lee in a Hollywood movie?
At this time, Andre Miller had already brought the ball to the frontcourt.
Then, Carmelo Anthony followed the tactics and quickly ran out of the three-point line to catch the ball.
Eddie Griffin faced off against Cameron for the first time.
This is what Bruce recommended to Phil Jackson, who told the Zen Master: "Griffin has long hands and feet, and excellent athletic ability. He is the best wing defender on the planet. He deserves this opportunity, I guarantee him
It will complete this task perfectly.”
Although Griffin only followed Bruce to make music, when he was so recognized by Li Zhen, he actively made a recommendation to the head coach in front of everyone.
The stagnant heart still makes waves.
It has been a long time since he heard anyone praise him like this, even though many years ago, everyone praised him as unique.
He saw the incomparable sincerity in Bruce's eyes. This was by no means the kind of commercial flattery. It was the genuine belief that he could handle the new generation of superstar Carmelo Anthony.
So, screw it, why can’t I guard against this little fat guy?
When Griffin gritted his teeth and pounced on Anthony, Anthony immediately felt strong pressure.
He never thought that this degenerate who had been sentenced to death by basketball experts would actually burst out with such a strong will to fight, his defensive steps would be so dense, and his defensive coverage would be so amazing.
In the original tactic, Cameron's task was to get into the paint with the ball, then attract a defensive switch, and quickly pass the ball to Jr. Smith who used the screen to run outside the three-point line.
Let Jr. Smith, who has a great touch, execute his third attack from beyond the three-point line. Once he hits, the Lakers can be declared dead.
Kobe Bryant's 60-point miracle became a milestone.
Bruce's two staggers were just short-lived.
Both Cameron and Smith will achieve their final redemption through this.
However, Griffin broke out halfway, which made Melo feel bitter. He seemed at a loss under the spider-like defense. Although he still broke through to the paint area, his continuous shaking failed to create any space.
At this time, he subconsciously looked outside the three-point line and saw that Jr. Smith was already running according to the established tactics.
Although Bruce was chasing after him, he believed that once Jr. got around Marcus Camby, who had already stood still, the thin Li Zhen would be ruthlessly placed inside the free throw line.
Therefore, he boldly passed the basketball.
The basketball went straight to the top of the three-point arc.
The moment he passed the ball, Jr. Smith passed through Marcus Camby's screen just in time.
Just when the entire Nuggets team thought Bruce would be blocked by Marcus, Jr. Smith would easily catch the basketball and hit a fatal 3-pointer.
Li Zhen showed his amazing straight-line speed for the first time in the NBA.
Most importantly, Kwame Brown showed his amazing chemistry with Li Zhen.
When Marcus Camby was crossing his position, Kwame Brown suddenly took a step forward, and he actually directly blocked Camby for Li Zhen.
Camby quickly tried to get away.
But in the flash of lightning, Bruce had already flashed a golden lightning, and his explosive speed was like a twelve-cylinder engine suddenly depressing the floor oil, and the torque reached the extreme.
He almost caught up with Jr. in less than 1 second. And when Jr was about to catch the basketball, he suddenly jumped up. Although his jumping height was not high, his bounce speed was extremely amazing...after all
This is the attribute of Rodney Carney, the top dunker in the United States who comes from a track and field family.
Snapped!
Li Zhen swatted the basketball hard in mid-air.
The basketball changed direction instantly and flew to the left of the three-point line.
The Black Mamba takes the lead and seizes the basketball immediately.
When he advanced with the ball, Li Zhen, who landed on the ground, quickly moved forward again. His speed was fully activated... like lightning.
Jr. Smith didn't even react. When he turned his head to catch the ball and shoot, Li Zhen had already galloped away from him.
When cheers erupted from the scene, he realized that Cameron's basketball had long since disappeared.
He quickly gave chase, but Bruce, who turned into lightning, had already ran into the frontcourt, and the Black Mamba quickly passed the basketball.
Li Zhen caught the basketball and made an easy layup... Wow!
Extremely smooth.
Phil Jackson's eyes lit up during this defensive counterattack, and Old Winter and Brian Shaw even jumped up from the bench.
so perfect.
So smooth!
From Eddie Griffin's single defense pressure, to Kwame Brown's well-timed screen, to Bruce's astonishing steal, the Black Mamba's timely and decisive follow-up, and finally Bruce's hearty fast break layup.
Everything is so seamless, smooth and smooth.
"This is a defensive technique!!"
Old Winter couldn't help but use foul language.
The cheers at the scene were undeniable.
There are 57 seconds left in the game.
The Lakers are only 3 points behind.
still have a chance.
Bruce's appearance made the home field ablaze.
Amid the uniform "defense" sound from the entire field, the Purple and Gold Army implemented a full-court pressing defense.
Bruce followed closely beside Jr. Smith, while Kobe completely suppressed Miller. Eddie Griffin did not make Carmelo Anthony feel better... This was the most focused and fierce game he played since joining the Lakers.
moment. He thought to himself: I can't embarrass Bruce, what if he doesn't write songs for me in the future.
That's what he thought in his heart, but in fact... the fire in his heart about basketball has never been extinguished.
When the Nuggets' three perimeter players were tightly guarded, their path forward immediately became difficult.
Andre Miller struggled under Kobe's full pressure, and when he was about to reach the midline, Kobe suddenly increased his defensive efforts. He could only quickly turn his back, use his strong back muscles to open up a little space, and then seek to
Passing opportunity.
And just when his eyes were quickly swimming around the entire court, trying to find the target of the pass.
Golden lightning strikes again.
Bruce Lee suddenly let go of Jr Smith and made an assassination move. Like a ghost, he attacked from Andre Miller's blind spot. When his long arm slapped Miller hard, Jr Smith's warning sound was of no avail.
Snapped!
The basketball was shot down on the spot.
Although Bruce bumped into Miller's strong body during the forced steal, he couldn't restrain the reaction force and staggered back two steps.
But the Black Mamba has quickly taken over the next work. He quickly squeezed out of Miller's body, forced to take over the basketball, and rushed into the frontcourt. Under the defense of Jr. Smith, he used a slow three-step layup to directly attack the Nuggets.
restricted area.
Whoosh!
As the basketball falls into the net.
135:136.
There were 46 seconds left in the game and the Lakers were only 1 point behind.
Staples Arena had already been filled with excited roars. There were no more butts sitting on the seats. Everyone stood up, including Phil Jackson, who had limited legs and feet.
"Bruce's two consecutive steals were so critical. He showed his cunning and ruthless side. He is far tougher than the critics imagined."
Kenny Smith cheered loudly in the live broadcast room: "The Lakers have found a treasure!!"
Old Buss thinks so too, and all Lakers fans think so.
Go explore the parallel imports!!
Is there a better point guard in this class than Bruce?
Beep!
George Karl requested the last timeout of the game. Although they still led by 1 point, Bruce's appearance set off the momentum of the entire home court, and every subsequent offense will be extremely important to them.
"Give me the ball and I'll score it!"
As soon as Jr. Smith came off the court, he urgently said to the coaching staff: "Andre is now in a very difficult situation under Kobe's strict defense. As long as you give the ball to me, I can easily overwhelm the Chinese boy's defense and defeat him."
The ball passed half court. If they didn't switch defense, I would use my hot touch to quickly score the winning goal."
"There is no better way than this. Facing that thin and cunning Chinese boy, the best way is to crush him!!"
Jr Smith spoke with certainty, his tone was harder than his teeth.
