At the beginning of the second half, Grant Hill directly relied on his outstanding personal ability to break through Kobe's defense, and then assisted his teammates after attracting Budao's replacement, helping the team score the first two points.
However, after the alternation of offense and defense, Kobe also sent an assist in front of Grant Hill, and Budo responded with the ball.
From Kobe's point of view, he was not at a disadvantage in this round of confrontation.
Everyone gave assists in the same way, and his teammates got three points, while the teammate assisted by Grant Hill, who was opposite Kobe, only got two points.
In Kobe's mind, not only did he not fall at a disadvantage, but he had a "little" advantage!
Soon, Duke University's main players, led by Grant Hill, launched a counterattack. Facing the assistant coach of the white team, the players on the back line made a simple change of direction and directly accelerated the breakthrough. After attracting the double-team of the white team's insiders, they did not choose to advance on their own, but chose to pass sideways.
The ball was given to Grant Hill who also ran to follow up.
Grant Hill relied on his excellent physical condition to find an opportunity after a ball-free feint in front of Kobe and sprinted into the mid-range.
The position where he got the basketball was not far away from the basket.
Starting with the basketball, Grant Hill grabbed the ball and directed it toward the basket, then quickly dropped the ball. When the basketball rebounded, he quickly grabbed the basketball, turned around and distanced himself from Kobe, and shot a mid-range jumper.
Although Kobe was very fast, Grant Hill gave Kobe some physical confrontation when he exploded the ball, making it impossible for Kobe to follow up when the opponent turned around.
"Snapped!"
The basketball hit the board from the side and fell into the net. Grant Hill, who scored smoothly, smiled and shook his finger at Kobe, and then quickly returned to defense.
"Pass the ball to me!"
After being beaten hard, the young Kobe became angry. After shouting at his teammates, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
Wu Dao also quickened his pace and quickly left the basket. The center of the white team was still thinking about letting Wu Dao serve from the baseline, while he ran forward first. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Wu Dao had already disappeared.
"That yellow monkey!"
"I can't play ball at all!"
Unable to help but curse, the white team's center took the ball to the baseline and quickly delivered the ball.
"Haha, didn't you know this early on?"
"There's no point in getting angry."
"Our job is to test that Kobe Bryant and forget about everyone else."
The defender of the white team got the ball, glanced at Wu Dao who had already entered the frontcourt with Kobe Bryant, said a few words of relief, and quickly advanced with the ball.
In the court, the white team advanced very slowly without a fast break opportunity. Budo planned to set a pick-and-roll for Kobe when his players entered the frontcourt.
Kobe and Grant Hill have played against each other three times, and martial arts has already seen some signs. The gap between Kobe's strength and that of his opponent in high school is not small. It is not easy to rely on his own ability to break through the opponent's defense.
A well-timed pick-and-roll will help Kobe break through quickly.
However, just as Wu Dao stepped forward, Kobe shouted directly at Wu Dao: "Go away, no need to pick and roll!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Dao did not hesitate, turned around as usual and ran towards the bottom corner.
Kobe was overjoyed when he saw the inside line was empty. However, the original running direction of the white team's point player was also to go to the bottom corner on the same side as Kobe.
But after seeing the martial arts, he reluctantly changed direction and went to the other side.
As the white team defender approaches the top of the arc with the ball, the formation also spreads out quickly.
Wu Dao, a power forward, moved a bit strangely, but Coach K didn't say much when he saw the inside line open. Wu Dao has a strong three-point shooting ability. Coach K knows this because he has watched Wu Dao's games.
And as Kobe turned his back to ask for the ball, the basketball also fell into Kobe's hands.
"Bang!"
When the ball exploded, Kobe, who was in the corner position, didn't let his opponent down at all, and directly hit the opponent with his back. Grant Hill raised his arms and easily blocked Kobe's back.
Just when Kobe blasted the ball for the second time, Grant Hill had just lowered his center of gravity and was preparing to withstand Kobe, but Kobe quickly broke through with the ball and got directly under Grant Hill's armpit.
Even though Kobe's height exceeds 190cm, his breakthrough movements give people the feeling of being a cheetah activated, and there is no clumsy state like that of Asians with a height of 190cm.
Moreover, Kobe's center of gravity was very low when he rushed forward with the ball. Grant Hill had no way to steal the ball. He could only quickly follow up, but he was also thrown away by Kobe some distance after following up.
"Excellent first step."
Grant Hill secretly praised him, but his actions were not slow at all, and he was already close to Kobe.
Sensing the pursuit, Kobe quickly gathered the ball, stepped forward, leaned forward, and quickly threw the ball toward the basket.
Kobe's series of attacks gave people a staggering feeling, but the basketball he threw rubbed against the backboard and then bounced into the basket.
Kobe stabilized his body, looked back at the basket, then looked at Grant Hill, and then began to defend.
Although he didn't say anything provocative, Grant Hill could still see the strong fighting spirit in Kobe's eyes, as if he was saying to him, "Come on! Let's fight one on one!".
"There are actually high school students like this."
Seeing Kobe in this state, Grant Hill couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
A high school student, pretending to be a wolf in front of him, a "NBA rising star"? !
How could he endure this kind of thing? !
Soon, the black team quickly launched an attack. Grant Hill was holding back a fire at this moment. He planned to educate Kobe, a high school student who didn't know the heights of the sky. He also took one step inside the three-point line and turned his back directly. Want the ball.
Kobe's entire body was about to fall on Grant Hill, but the referee on the sidelines turned a blind eye to Kobe's action. In this era, this level of defensive confrontation is nothing at all.
The basketball was given to Grant Hill. Just when he was about to get the basketball, Grant Hill felt that the pressure on him was reduced by Kobe.
Without thinking much, Grant Hill's body reacted quickly. He took a big step forward and quickly collected the ball in his hands. At the same time, his body also quickly turned to start the breakthrough.
Kobe's steal itself has the flavor of gambling. If the steal fails, it is directly passed by Grant Hill.
When he turned around, it was already too late. Grant Hill had already picked up his speed and rushed toward the basket with the ball.
Facing Grant Hill who was attacking the basket, Wu Dao just left the basket and took a step forward, and then looked at Grant Hill coldly.
That yellow guy?
Seeing the martial arts under the basket, Grant Hill stepped in step when entering the basket, and then directly grabbed the basketball and jumped up. Grant Hill, who grabbed the ball with one hand, quickly reached the highest point and waved his arm. Just want to put the ball in the basket.
Defender?
Sorry, I'm just a yellow guy, just deduct it and that's it!
That's what Grant Hill thought.
However, at this moment, a cold and handsome face suddenly appeared in Grant Hill's sight. The next second, a big hand pressed firmly on Grant Hill's basketball.
A huge force came, and Grant Hill's tendency to glide forward suddenly decreased, and at the same time, the terrifying power was poured directly on him.
"Bang!!!"
The sound of palms slapping the basketball sounded in the court. Grant Hill, who was in mid-air, quickly fell back to the ground. After staggering, he couldn't stand still and sat down on the floor.
In front of him, Wu Dao hooked the basketball with his right hand and stood firmly in front of Grant Hill, looking down at Grant Hill.
With a solid block, Grant Hill's ball was confiscated by Wu Dao. At this moment, everyone in the stadium looked at Wu Dao in astonishment, not daring to imagine what was happening in front of them.
When some Duke players on the sidelines saw Grant Hill being blocked by the high school student, they couldn't help but hug their heads with shock on their faces.
Even the old coach K on the sidelines stood up from his stool in surprise and opened his mouth slightly.
In the court, Wu Dao casually threw the ball to Kobe, who was still a little stunned. He pointed to the basket in the opponent's half and asked:
"what are you waiting for?"
After hearing this sentence, Kobe reacted, and the other players reacted and rushed towards the black team's half.
There is no such thing as a clean hat with a whistle.
Kobe quickly charged with the ball, and soon reached the opponent's basket with the ball. Under the attack of Duke University's defensive players, Kobe used a change of rhythm to throw away the opponent, and then took off and put the ball into the basket. among.
It wasn't until Kobe scored the ball that Grant Hill slowly came back to his senses. He stood up and stared at the martial arts for a while. Then he patted his butt and directed the direction of the man who was holding the ball. Teammates who advance quickly in the frontcourt.
A yellow man.
A high school student.
Jumping so high? He was banned as a "NBA rising star".
Until his teammates brought the ball into the frontcourt, Grant Hill couldn't accept this fact for a while.
Seeing that Grant Hill seemed to be in poor condition, his teammates used quick transmission to open up the White team's defense, and then passed it into the hands of an open player in the bottom corner for a long shot.
I don't know if it was because other people were also affected by Wu Dao's sky-shielding hat just now, but this open shot crashed directly out of the basket.
As for the rebound, it was also held in the hands of Wu Dao under the basket.
The bounce in martial arts is terrifying, even at the famous Duke University in the United States!
After grabbing the rebound, Wu Dao did not stick to the ball and passed it directly to the players on the back line. And he also followed his teammates in a quick fast break.
Although Duke University's frontcourt players were briefly shocked by Wu Dao's operation, their basic qualities on the court are still there.
The retreat speed is quite fast, giving the white team no chance to play a fast break.
But this time, after Wu Dao entered the inside line, he was also forced to rely on the defender and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
At the same time, Kobe, who was at the three-point line, also raised his hand to ask for the ball.
After a moment of hesitation, the white team's ball holder unexpectedly passed the ball to the expressionless Wu Dao inside.
Until the pass was released, the white team's defender's mind was still somewhat blank.
Even he himself didn't know why he gave the ball to the yellow man. Maybe it's because the aura that Martial Arts exudes now is too powerful.
On the court, every player exudes his or her own momentum.
Some players are affected by their opponents' momentum and will have an emotion called fear in their hearts.
Some players may be full of confidence when they first come on the court, but after missing a few shots, they will lose confidence and their momentum will weaken. And often the less confident you are, the more inaccurate your shots will be, and the less accurate your shots will be, the less you dare to take action.
There are also some players who, after getting on the court and rushing inside and being blocked twice, will be afraid of the opponent's inside. They no longer choose to attack the inside but shoot instead.
Like a certain player No. 77, not rushing inside when there is a gap is not entirely a matter of his choice. The most important thing is that he is afraid of the opponent's inside and is afraid that he will not be able to hit after entering.
Therefore, some teams attack hard when facing weak teams, but are submissive when facing strong teams. This is not entirely a matter of team strength.
Many times, when facing a weak team, players have the confidence to win, but when facing a strong team, they are timid before fighting and cannot display their full strength.
There are very few people who can face difficulties.
And there are even fewer players like Kobe who work hard in the first three quarters and then explode in the final quarter to change the team's fate. Most people stop shooting after hitting a few balls.
People like Kobe and Jordan have strong fighting spirit and are never afraid of any challenge. People like them will only react quickly to chase after being blocked, and will only quickly rush to rebound after a shot is inaccurate.
You will never hold your head while there are three or four seconds left in the game and the outcome is undecided.
Nor would he stand under the basket and wait stupidly for the whistle to end the game, forgetting about the chance of fouling and stopping the clock to use tactics to turn defeat into victory.
The momentum exuded by people like Kobe and Jordan makes people unconsciously trust each other at critical moments and unconsciously give the ball to them.
Because their fighting spirit tells their teammates that they can win.
The momentum exuded from Wu Dao at this time is also the same. After taking off Grant Hill with a slap, in the eyes of others, the player Wu Dao was "terrible."
"Snapped!"
Starting with the basketball, Wu Dao exploded the ball and directly pushed the player who was defending him back a step. Without feeling any defensive pressure, Wu Dao directly pulled out the green onions, lifted up, and at the same time half-turned in the air and dunked the ball directly into the basket.
The defending martial arts player raised his hands and was unable to jump at all.
His explosive power, his jumping, and his strength are simply incomparable to martial arts.
