Chapter 64 Meat, Egg, Scallion, Chicken O'Neal
{
Main mission: OK combination is not OK
Mission description: One chopstick is easy to break, but two chopsticks are difficult to break. It is unrealistic to completely defeat the OK combination, but as long as one corner is destroyed, the combination will no longer exist.
Task requirement: Limit Kobe’s scoring to less than 20 points
Mission props: Magical eye drops
Main line reward: Skill Book: Lean Back (Level 1)
Task status: waiting to be collected
}
When we first got this assignment, STO collapsed.
Limiting Kobe's scoring to less than 20 points is a problem that no defensive player is willing to face.
In other words, this is almost impossible.
Having experienced the time and space when Kobe Bryant scored 62 points in three quarters and slayed the dragon with 81 points, STO knew what Kobe could do on the court.
When the hand feels explosive, even double-teaming may not be able to limit Kobe's scoring.
What's more, it's limited to 20 points...
Shentong remembered a scene from "Slam Dunk".
Before the game, Shoyang's Hasegawa once boasted that he would limit Mitsui Hisashi's score to less than 5 points.
The final result was, of course, a slap in the face.
Shentong doesn't want to be such a villain.
...
However, Shentong discovered that this mission was different from previous missions.
Gave a mission prop: Magical Eye Drops
{
Item name: Magic eye drops
Prop details: This is not an ordinary eye drop. When dropped into the eyes, you can see the hot spots on the court. Players standing in the hot spots will improve their shooting feel.
On the contrary, for players who are not in the hot zone, their shooting feel will drop significantly. Validity period: 24 hours.
}
With this prop, STO instantly gained confidence.
Wouldn't it be possible to significantly reduce Kobe's shooting percentage by pushing Kobe to areas outside the hot zone and allowing him to shoot from these places?
What a genius I am!
Of course, the quick-thinking Shentong also thought of other aspects.
For example, pass the ball to Van Horn who is standing in the hot zone at the beginning of the game.
...
Sun Zhengping: "Place the stage, stage the stage, the New Jersey Nets' away game against the Los Angeles Lakers has officially begun!"
Zhang Weiping: "STO is really amazing. He contributed an assist right from the start. It's Kobe's turn to attack. Let's see how STO defends."
The hot zone is constantly changing, but as Kobe holds the ball, the position of the hot zone gradually becomes fixed.
Shen Tong looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that there was a large hot spot on his right side.
It's hard to imagine that when Van Horn was standing just now, there was only a small area of red.
When Kobe held the ball, a large area of his own half turned red.
horrible!
...
Shentong turned his body slightly, stood to the right, blocked the hot area, and opened up the space on the left.
Kobe, who didn't know what was in STO's gourd, certainly wouldn't let go of such an obvious "defensive loophole."
Take a lunge with your right foot and shake Shentong away.
Pull up the jump shot.
The shooting posture is quite standard.
If Shentong's shooting is elegant, then Kobe's shooting is determined.
Decisive and resolute.
"when"
Kobe's shot went off the rim.
Mark Lodge held on to O'Neal behind him, and Martin grabbed the rebound.
Kidd's three-point shot.
Hit!
Shentong could see clearly that when Kidd was shooting, he "happened" to appear in the hot zone.
5-0
Fisher's outside shooting is off the charts.
After the Nets got the ball, they launched a fast break.
Kidd, Shentong, Kobe.
Two against one!
Kidd leaned on Kobe and rushed into the paint.
I didn’t watch STO throughout the entire process.
But he threw his hand back.
STO took advantage of the trend and jumped up.
A perfect pass!
NO-LOOK-PASS alley-oop slam dunk.
Shentong caught the ball in the air with both hands, arched his body, and slammed the ball into the Lakers' basket!
7-0
The Nets got off to a dream start.
When Shentong dunked the ball in, Sun Zhengping in the live broadcast room shouted excitedly: "Good shot! The Lakers have never had such an embarrassing start so far this season."
The Lakers were forced to call a timeout.
Sun Zhengping: "I think Phil Jackson, the coach of the lagging Lakers, called a timeout very timely. The coach's timeout is to solve two problems: first, how to score to catch up with the score; second, how to stop the opponent from scoring.
.”
Zhang Weiping: "That's right."
...
Pause and come back.
O'Neal pressed Mark Lodge into the penalty area and opened his huge palm to ask for the ball.
Kobe held the ball at the top of the key and hoisted the ball into the penalty area.
Other players are scattered around the perimeter.
After the Lakers timeout, they immediately started playing O'Neal.
O'Neal caught the ball and hit from behind.
Feint to the left to deceive Mark Lodge's center of gravity.
Then he turned to the right and had already pushed Mark Lodge aside.
Pull onions from dry land!
Chicken with meat, eggs and green onion!
This is not cooking!
Instead, a big fat turkey contributed a two-handed slam dunk!
After scoring the goal, O'Neal raised his legs high and swung his body in the air.
It fully demonstrated the fact that he is a flexible fat man.
The entire basket rack was shaking constantly.
terrible.
Big Shark lives up to its reputation.
Even muscular man Martin subconsciously avoided when O'Neal dunked, not daring to get close at all.
...
7-2
Shentong dribbles the ball.
Kobe lowered his center of gravity.
Smile slightly.
A three-pointer on the spot!
Why so confident?
Because STO is standing in the middle of the hot zone at this moment.
Shen Tong, who was full of hope, heard the cruel voice.
"when"
Missed?!
Shentong was surprised.
Are shots in the hot zone not 100% hits?
That’s right!
If you recall carefully the introduction of the props, being in the hot zone only improves the feel of shooting. In other words, it is possible to increase the hit rate, but it does not say that standing in the hot zone will guarantee a hit.
What's more, the pull-up three-pointer is not a routine action for Shentong's shooting.
Over there, Fisher dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Kobe.
Shentong was surprised to find that the red hot zone had been moving with Kobe's footsteps.
It has always been at the feet of Kobe.
Under STO's defense, Kobe made a pull-up sideways jumper.
The difficulty is very high.
But the ball still hit.
7-4
It seems that it is not that easy to successfully limit Kobe and win simply through props.
...
Martin's mid-range shot missed.
The Lakers attacked and took advantage of the Nets' defensive footing. Fisher made a decisive three-pointer from a 45° angle, catching Kidd off guard.
The ball drew a high parabola in the air and hit the target.
7-7
After the timeout, the Lakers relied on O'Neal and Kobe to open up the situation and immediately tied the score.
Shen Tong, who had just felt a little relaxed, quickly tightened the strings.
Why does this mission give me props?
It's not an easy task for me to complete.
But only by relying on props can it be possible to complete the task.
In other words, this is a greater challenge than the previous mission!
...
At the end of the first quarter, the Nets trailed the Lakers at home 24-28.
O'Neal scored 10 points and Kobe Bryant scored 6 points.
Although STO suppressed Kobe's shooting percentage to 3 of 8, it seems that it is not easy to complete the task at present.
...
Chapter completed!
