"Provoking Jordan is not a wise thing to do."
This was the conclusion everyone else on the team came to when Jordan was still playing in the league.
The reason is that Jordan's talent and strength were already out of date in the NBA at that time.
When he says he is number one, he will never be like a bunch of people in the future who will argue that he is not worthy of being number one.
Moreover, Jordan's character, which can also be felt in the interaction with Xu Yong, is of the type that must be retaliated against.
It may not be a good thing for such people to irritate him on the court.
Kobe, who behaves very much like Jordan on the court, seems like they are the same type of person.
But Xu Yong can completely feel that they are completely different after contacting him off the court.
The desire to win that Kobe showed on the court was a strict requirement for himself, not his nature.
And because of Kobe's talent, even if he is already the number one player in the league, it is difficult for his dominance of the game to reach the level of Jordan.
These two factors will at some point prompt Kobe to become very independent.
That's right, alone.
Because of Kobe's passing, fans will no longer mention this word out of respect.
But in fact, [ferric oxide] [Milan little blacksmith] [listen to the boss playing] [Kobe Bryant Highlights.MP3] [.look] were all the words used by the Kobe hackers back then.
Kobe prefers to believe in himself. This is his state after being provoked.
So Xu Yong is not worried about angering Kobe, he even hopes to anger Kobe.
Because Gasol is not here tonight and the rest of the Lakers are unable to give Kobe enough support due to state issues, it is the right thing to consume Kobe.
Kobe, after all, is 31 years old.
Ever since, fans witnessed the scene of Kobe and Xu Yong scoring each other in this section.
Although Kobe is obviously better in terms of the scene, Xu Yong's temperament of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers is also very impressive.
At halftime, the score was 43 to 50.
Kobe scored 20 points in the second quarter and already had 30 points at halftime.
Los Angeles fans are cheering for their hero.
At the end of the three quarters, the score on the field was 68 to 73, and the Lakers still maintained the lead.
Kobe scored another 11 points in the third quarter, and by the end of the third quarter he had scored a season-high 41 points.
However, as Xu Yong led his team to tie the score in the fourth quarter, when the Lakers called a timeout, the fans at the scene felt that the momentum seemed to be wrong.
No emotional changes could be seen on Phil Jackson's face at this time, but he did feel a little helpless in his heart.
There are also strategies on the court, some are conspiracies, some are conspiracy, and what is on the table now is the conspiracy.
He misses Gasol's time on the court a little bit. Gasol's strength may not be the best, but he is the most suitable for this Lakers team.
With him here, even if others are not in good condition, he will not be helpless because of this conspiracy.
Bulls bench.
Xu Yong was breathing heavily. This was the most physically demanding game since he entered the NBA. No, it was the most physically demanding game since he was reborn. It was even greater than the defensive battle against UCLA in the NCAA.
Although Kobe is not as good as Jordan, he is still much better than Jordan. Compared with others, guarding him is a very physically demanding task.
Not to mention that he not only has to defend, but he also has to score points on the offensive end, especially on Kobe.
Although he also scored 24 points, the highest score on the team, he knew that he could not be like the first three quarters.
He looked at Rose.
Ross was also looking at him at this time.
There was still no verbal communication between the two, but Ross nodded, knowing what Xu Yong meant.
After the timeout, the main players of both sides came on the bench in advance, and the game came to the final decisive moment.
Kobe was not in a hurry to attack after coming back. A short rest could not make up for his consumption in the first three quarters. Now the score is deadlocked, and he needs to preserve his physical fitness until the final decisive moment.
At this time, Bynum was facing Noah under the basket and hit high, and finally scored a goal off the board.
The Lakers fans at the scene also burst into cheers. They really needed Bynum's performance.
However, their cheers had not yet died down. Rose went straight to the inside and directly caused Bynum's fourth defensive foul.
After Rose got to the free throw line, his statistics for the night were given on the spot, 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
This is his score of 20 again more than half a month after the opening game.
Moreover, he scored a lot, but his physical exertion seemed to be very little. He made two free throws steadily despite the noise of the audience, raising his personal score to 22 points.
The Lakers' frontcourt continued to feed Bynum, and Bynum confidently turned around and hooked the ball before taking another shot.
But this time Noah accurately predicted and touched the ball directly.
This ball was blocked!
The crowd that was still cheering in the last round directly covered their faces with their hands in this round.
The difference between a small shark and a big shark is just a big difference, but the difference is thousands of miles.
Noah turned around and picked up the rebound, and threw a long throw to Rose on the outside. Rose jumped up to catch the ball. After landing, he saw Fisher turn over and pass the ball, and then ran towards the frontcourt at full speed.
Kobe had already chased him first, but couldn't catch up.
First, his physical energy was exhausted by Xu Yong and he could not recover. Second, Ross was too fast!
The feeling of a person running in front and a soul chasing behind, Ross's sense of forward movement is full of visual effects.
And people really don’t slow down.
After running to the three-second zone in the frontcourt, he jumped up, adjusted his posture in the air, and then pulled the ball up with both hands. His iconic belly-open dunk without pulling the frame and landing on one foot completed the finish.gif.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
After so many games, Xu Yong watched Rose's breakthroughs whenever he had the opportunity, and now he finally caught something.
That's why Rose doesn't slow down. It doesn't mean that he has any ability that is different from ordinary people, but that he puts the final adjustment in the air.
This may sound outrageous, but it certainly seems to be that way.
Because most people break through, why should they slow down before the end? In fact, it is an adjustment.
After all, reality is not a game. It doesn't just click the accelerator button and it will pass. Your finishing move takes time to make.
Rose, on the other hand, cleverly took advantage of his good air time.
After realizing this, Xu Yong was very excited.
Because he is actually worried about a problem, that is, Rose is a defender and he is a forward. The difference in height and center of gravity between the two means that even if he learns it, he may fail to learn it.
But now it seems that he can apply what he has learned under this general logic.
Kobe started to slow down at the three-point line and then stopped at the free throw line.
He took a breath and realized that this game would be difficult for the Lakers.
In the end, Kobe, who was forced to exert his strength early, failed to bring the game to the decisive moment, and the score on the court was fixed at 96 to 103.
The Bulls unexpectedly defeated the Lakers on the road, ending their four-game losing streak.
In terms of statistics, Kobe made 15 of 35 shots and scored a game-high 49 points, plus 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
For the Bulls, Rose scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and finished with 30 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Xu Yong had 28 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
Xu Yong set his highest score in a single game for two consecutive games, and the 58 points scored by the two together exceeded half of the team's score.
After the game, the two teams held a post-game handshake ceremony.
The difference was reflected at this time. Kobe did not lose in the tunnel like James, but stayed to shake hands with everyone on the Bulls.
Moreover, when shaking hands with Xu Yong, he also took the initiative to hug Xu Yong, patted Xu Yong on the shoulder and said "well played".
Just as Xu Yong thought, Kobe is not the kind of person Jordan is in character.
Of course, Kobe also has his own personality traits.
Because after shaking hands with Xu Yong, he said to Xu Yong: "I will definitely win it back next time."
Xu Yong smiled and said nothing.
He believed this, Gasol returned, and the Lakers adjusted their condition. Although Artest has become Ariza, they are still the championship team.
But that doesn't matter, what matters is that they won tonight, which will be a huge boost to the Bulls' morale.
Xu Yong and Rose attended the press conference after the game.
The reporters mainly interviewed Xu Yong. Although his score was not as high as Rose's, his and Kobe's offense and defense throughout the game were the most exciting part of tonight's game.
You must know that he is Kobe, the number one player in the league, and a master of all things. There are only a few ordinary rookies who dare to challenge him, let alone singles with him.
However, Xu Yong intentionally or unintentionally shifted the focus of the press conference to Rose.
Because he knows the significance of this game to Rose. Although Rose may not be able to completely regain his form immediately, it will definitely be better than before.
And reporters didn't find it strange at all that he did this. After all, Xu Yong's team attributes are now very clear to the media.
After the press conference ended, Xu Yong and Ross walked outside together.
"Xu, do you have time when we get back to Chicago?" Rose rarely took the initiative to ask Xu Yong.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Xu Yong looked at Ross in confusion.
"I'd like to invite you to my house for a meal," Ross continued.
Xu Yong laughed when he heard this. He knew what Rose meant by what he said. He wanted to thank him by treating him to a meal.
"No problem." Xu Yong agreed readily.
First of all, he also wanted to get to know Rose's brothers. He had received help from them last time, so he should express his gratitude to some extent.
Secondly, he could feel that his [Change direction without slowing down] progress bar was full at this time, and he needed an opportunity to start the strategy, and this was a great opportunity.
