Chapter 587 How to defend against Kobe's Iron Mountain by fighting? I won't tell ordinary people
"squeak!"
At this moment, while dribbling with his left hand, Lao Wang suddenly started to step forward. As the sharp friction of his sneakers sounded, his right foot moved very quickly to the left.
He really broke through from the bottom, and there was no probing step, it was a strong breakthrough. He wanted to use his speed advantage to beat O'Neal.
O'Neal made an emergency half-turn.
Although he weighs 160 kilograms, his talent is too strong and he is still as flexible as a shark. When he retreated with one step to defend, he kept up with the faster Lao Wang's breakthrough rhythm and was about to force his way into the paint.
When he was in the area, he turned around in time, put his unusually thick chest against the upper side, and immediately squeezed downward with force.
But at this moment, Lao Wang landed on the ground with his first step, dribbling with his left hand, and blocked O'Neal with his right elbow. Before O'Neal could exert force, he exerted force with his feet and increased his speed. Like an arrow from a string, he broke away from O'Neal.
Squeeze and enter the paint area in the second step.
"So fast!"
O'Neal was shocked and hurriedly turned around to pursue him. It was too late and he could only watch as Old K took off on the left side of the paint area.
Lakers power forward Samaki Walker returned to the basket from the weak side, but when faced with such a ferocious flying dunk by Old K, he couldn't help but feel numb.
"Bang!"
After a one-handed dunk, Lao Wang hung on the basket, while Samaki Walker was directly knocked over and slid more than two meters on the floor.
"boom!"
The adrenaline in America West Arena is burning like a volcano erupting.
…
In New York, David Stern was extremely troubled and conflicted when he saw this scene.
This season has been going on for a little over two months, and Old K is in excellent condition, with no signs of serious injuries at all, and his style has changed, somewhat similar to a combination of David Robinson at his peak and O'Neal at his peak.
Although it is not as violent as before, the play style has not been reduced and is very popular with fans. The Suns' national live broadcast ratings are also very high, much higher than the Nets and Trail Blazers, and even higher than the Lakers.
The trouble is that quite a lot of American media are now against Lao K. The root cause is Lao K’s Chinese identity. They simply cannot accept a Chinese becoming the number one player in the NBA. The development of the NBA cannot be separated from the media, and neither can he.
Despite the media's opposition, he continued to praise Lao K.
And he couldn't grasp how long Old K could last in this state, one year, three years, five years. After all, Old K was almost thirty years old. Who knew when he would fall to his peak one day? He couldn't grasp Old K's state, either.
There is no way to make the right decision.
If he praises Lao K despite the pressure of the media, but Lao K is finished after playing for a year or two, then he has offended the media in vain, and this is where his contradiction lies.
After thinking about it, he felt that there was only one way, and he didn't care too much. As long as the Suns were not allowed to introduce important stars, this was also for the sake of balance. What results could Old K achieve with the current lineup?
Just let him go, and then suppress it on some hard honors such as MVP, so that the media has no reason to blame the league.
"It would be great if I could convince Lao K to immigrate to the United States, but it's a pity that this guy doesn't even apply for a green card. He's too stubborn."
He decided to talk to Old Colangelo about this issue and find out why Old K was unwilling to immigrate to the United States.
…
At the American West Arena, in the 8th minute of the first quarter, the Lakers called a timeout.
In order to defeat Lao K, Kobe and Fisher cooperated very well today and gave O'Neal a lot of balls. Within eight minutes, he received 7 passes. He encountered the Suns' cutting tactics, causing Lao Wang to foul twice. Stoudemire
He and Marion each committed one foul, making 2 of 3 shots and 3 of 8 free throws. He scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.
The opponent, Lao Wang, made 4 of 6 shots and 4 of 5 free throws in eight minutes, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 fouls.
"Old K, don't you have the guts to challenge me in a duel?" When the game ended, Shark said angrily.
"Xiaoyugan, who double-teamed me in the four finals from 1998 to 2001?" Lao Wang said disdainfully.
"..."
O'Neal was at a loss for words and had no way to refute. In desperation, he had no choice but to angrily say: "You are guilty twice. Let me see how you kill me next."
"Aren't you guilty of the same crime?" Lao Wang retorted sarcastically.
The timeout ended, O'Neal did not play again, Wang also sat on the bench, and David Robinson and Ewing, the old rivals, came on the field.
Before the timeout, the Suns were still leading by 3 points. At the end of the first quarter, at 33:31, the Lakers led by 2 points on the road.
Kobe broke out and used his powerful hitting skills to defeat Marion, who was switching defenses. Even double-teams could not limit his scoring, leading the score to overtake.
Barkley analyzed: "The Suns have no defense on the back line. Hardaway and Nash are two big and small holes. Later, Marion was asked to switch to guard Kobe, and the effect was not very good."
Kenny Smith was overjoyed and said: "Old K tricked himself and taught Kobe Bryant's relying skills. Now his teammates can't guard against Kobe's relying skills. The advantage in singles is too great."
Barkley also laughed and said: "I think Old K still needs to teach Marion how to defend himself by hitting, he is the best at this.
In fact, in terms of tonnage, Marion has an advantage in guarding Kobe Bryant. He has gained some weight now, and his tonnage has reached 103 kilograms. He can also defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position. As long as the method is appropriate, it should be possible.
Limiting Kobe."
"Boss, teach me some tricks, I want to guard Kobe."
On the bench of the Suns, Marion was humbly asking Lao Wang for advice on how to defend Kobe. He said in annoyance:
"I took a step back to defend or retreat, and he immediately made a jump shot. I held it hard, and he immediately hit me, and then either broke through or took the opportunity to make a jump shot. I took a half-step to defend, and he pushed inside, then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.
There is no way to prevent it.”
Lao Wang had a mysterious look on his face and whispered: "Sean, I don't tell most people, but now I'm telling you quietly, it's not difficult to guard against his attacks.
You have to block his lower body and prevent his feet from getting close to you. If his feet can't get close to you, he won't be able to hit with all his strength. If he wants to forcefully hit, you only need to withdraw at this time, and his
The center of gravity must be lost.”
"foot?"
Marion's eyes lit up.
Yes, every time Kobe hit him, he always approached him with his feet first. That's it!
"Come on, let me tell you some tips on how to guard against Kobe Bryant. You have to strike first..." Lao Wang continued to say with a mysterious face.
"Ah owe! Ah owe! Ah owe!"
On the Lakers bench next to him, Kobe sneezed three times in a row and felt a chill running down his back, which was a bit bone-chilling.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Lao Wang came on the court. O'Neal hadn't had enough rest yet, and David Robinson was still on the court.
Kobe was so competitive that he didn't want to lose the game the first time he faced Old K, so he still went on the court and continued the game.
The Suns replaced Randy Brown at point guard, Joe Johnson at shooting guard, and Outlaw and Tom Gugliotta at the third and fourth positions.
Facing David Robinson, Wang did not hold back against the veteran. As soon as he came on the court, he began to attack the basket and succeeded frequently.
As for the Lakers, Kobe completely took over the offense.
But Kobe also knew the defensive ability of Old K. He rarely hit the basket, and after breakthroughs, he mostly made pull-up jump shots.
After three minutes of play, Lao Wang tied the score at 39 with higher efficiency.
The Lakers called a timeout and then replaced O'Neal. Both sides basically replaced their main lineups.
When the Lakers attacked, O'Neal entered the position under the basket. Wang didn't carry it and went straight forward. At this time, Fisher hoisted the ball to the side of the basket.
With O'Neal holding him from behind, Lao Wang stared at the incoming ball, saw the opportunity and suddenly turned around very quickly, entered the basket, jumped at the same time as O'Neal, and grabbed the falling basketball.
"Crack!"
With his better bounce, he picked up the ball first, then took off a second time and caught the ball.
Kobe returned to defense quickly, and Lao Wang was not in a hurry to launch a fast break.
Coming to the frontcourt, he positioned low on the left wing and asked for the ball.
"Old K, come on, let me see how you can hit me. Can you still hit me?" O'Neal stood behind him and growled in a low voice in Old Wang's ear.
"As you wish." Lao Wang said coldly.
From the moment they met, he was observing O'Neal's body shape. It was obvious that his lower limbs were not strong enough. O'Neal was not gaining weight at all, but gaining weight. Most of the added weight was in his upper body.
He really can't stand up to O'Neal on the defensive end, because it is a hard top and relies more on absolute strength, but on the offensive end, if he seizes the opportunity to continue to rely on it, he can use his strong explosive power to rely on Tieshan's 10% bonus.
Strength may not be enough to hit O'Neal.
"Crack!"
Nash's ball came in, he grabbed it with one hand, immediately turned his back, pushed his butt back, and after sensing O'Neal's position, he stepped back with his left foot at the next moment, and instantly exerted force with both feet, and the six forces merged into one
, the back arch of the iron mountain is activated.
"Crack!"
The thick bear back hit O'Neill's chest hard, making a loud impact.
"Come again!"
The thick fat produced a good force-relieving effect, but O'Neill's upper body was also slightly tilted back by the impact. However, the huge tonnage made his center of gravity very stable, and he did not take a step back. He could not help but feel more confident and said in deep anger.
drink.
This is the tenth season that he has competed with Old K. He has suffered too many losses under Old K. Now it is time to take everything back from Old K. While he is still at his peak, he wants to get back.
Press Lao K on the floor and rub it.
"Crack!"
While dribbling, he arched his back for the second time, and the ferocious power burst out with all his strength thanks to his playing skills. Even O'Neal, weighing 160 kilograms, groaned from the impact.
This time, O'Neal's feet became loose and he stepped back about ten centimeters.
"Crack!"
While dribbling, the third back arch came one after another, and the huge force of the blow completely exploded. The first time was a test, the second time was a charge, and this time it was a real decisive battle.
With a tonnage of 130 kilograms, a strength of level 96, and an explosive power of level 90, with a bonus of nearly 10% of his strength due to beating, Wang Tiejun exploded with terrifying explosive power.
"Well!"
O'Neal groaned after being hit, and the breath he had been holding back could no longer be held in. As soon as his breath was released, his strength was exhausted, and he staggered back.
Wang Tiejun, whose face was already swollen red after continuously exploding with all his strength, took the opportunity to turn around, held the ball in his right hand, stepped forward, jumped up, pressed O'Neal's shoulder with his left hand, used the force to get up again, and smashed the ball violently with his right hand.
In a hurry, O'Neal wanted to pull him away, but Lao Wang's left hand was on his shoulder and became a pillar, preventing him from pulling him down.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the basket in front was blown up.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded.
"Damn it!"
O'Neal was knocked over by Lao Wang, and he could no longer stand. He leaned back directly, and his huge body fell to the floor with a crash.
"boom!"
The cheers from the entire stadium erupted instantly, with nearly 20,000 Suns fans waving their fists and shouting in excitement.
"Oh ho ho ho..."
"The giant beasts face off again, and the winner is still Old K! It's still Old K!"
The roars of the two on-site commentators echoed through the US West Arena.
In the TNT commentary box, Barkley stood up, waved his fist and shouted: "One-on-one, Old K once again dunked Shark O'Neal. He defeated another giant head-on. Even the 160-kilogram shark could not
Withstanding his back blow, O'Neal's challenge to Old K failed again! Failed again! Failed again!"
"A real showdown between behemoths. Old K returns from a serious injury and is still invincible!" Kenny Smith roared with great excitement.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili and Su Qun were equally excited and kept shouting.
"Hoo ho ho..."
O'Neal was lying on the floor, panting like an ox.
"Hoo ho ho..."
Lao Wang, who was standing next to him, was also panting like an ox.
The amount of physical energy consumed in this duel was unimaginable to others, leaving both of them with the feeling that their bodies had been completely hollowed out and their potential had been completely exhausted.
Little Snash and others rushed up, roaring excitedly.
"Shark, tell me, who is pressing whom to the floor and rubbing whom?" After Lao Wang regained his breath, he yelled at O'Neal.
"..."
O'Neal was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die.
"Click, click..." In the media box behind the baseline, reporters were extremely excited and clicked the shutter to record everything.
Kobe stood outside, looking here coldly, with no expression on his face, but his mood was quite complicated.
At this time in the past, he was the one celebrating around Old K, but now, he is Old K's opponent, and his teammates are still lying at Old K's feet and being humiliated by Old K.
He knew that it wasn't that O'Neal wasn't strong enough, but that Old K was too strong. He couldn't understand why the seriously injured Old K was still so strong after his comeback.
Stepping forward, he and Fox pulled O'Neal up, and then asked for a timeout before the free throw. After returning to the bench, he said to O'Neal:
"Shaq, you can't be so defensive about Old K's relying on hitting, and you can't let him play a series of relying on hitting. In this way, his relying on hitting will be superimposed. The result is what you just experienced."
"Then what should I do?"
O'Neill, whose morale was about to collapse, asked quickly as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
Kobe said coldly: "The strength of the iron mountain relying on hitting in place is not very strong. The scary thing is that relying on hitting generates kinetic energy during movement. It is full of explosive power, but in this way, there must be movement of the feet..."
"I know, I know..."
O'Neal looked excited and suddenly realized, shouting: "If you hold his feet, you can prevent him from hitting."
Kobe nodded and said: "It's almost the same. The iron mountain relies on hitting, and the bear steps first. This is what he taught me."
"Then how on earth are we going to hold his foot? If he turns around, I can't keep up!" O'Neal asked hurriedly.
"this?"
Kobe frowned, shook his head and said, "You have to figure it out yourself. Old K never taught me how to crack it."
At this point, he said with some suspicion: "Old K likes to hide his secrets, maybe he has some secrets, so you have to be careful."
"Ah owe!"
Lao Wang suddenly sneezed.
After the timeout, Wang Tiejun hit an extra free throw. At 39:42, the Suns took the lead and the Lakers attacked.
On the three-point line on the right wing, Kobe holds the ball and Marion is ready.
"Bang!"
Kobe turned sideways, protected the ball with his left elbow and started to advance inward while dribbling with his right hand.
According to the cracking method taught by Old K, the hacker took a horse stance, which is a lunge horse stance, with his left foot in front and his left knee in front, directly pressing against Kobe's left leg, making Kobe's foot unable to do anything.
Going inward, Kobe couldn't rely on hitting him at all. Even if he tried to hit him forcefully, that little force wouldn't be able to destroy Ma Bu's center of gravity.
When Kobe saw it, he immediately half-turned around, dribbling the ball and trying to overpower Marion.
When Kobe rushed past, Marion kicked hard with his left foot and quickly took a step back. His left foot changed from the front foot to the back foot, completing the retreat. He just stuck to Kobe's left side and passed Kobe's body with his right hand.
He poked it in the back and knocked the ball away.
The two scrambled together and finally took advantage of Stoudemire, who rushed up to defend. Stoudemire passed the ball to Nash, who immediately stepped down and finally hit a layup.
The Lakers attacked, but Kobe was not convinced and once again took the ball and beat Marion alone.
This time, Marion was still the same as before. Kobe couldn't rely on hitting, so he immediately made a fake shot.
But Marion was not fooled, because when Old K just taught him, he told him to strike later and to wait until Kobe Bryant started to break through before retreating, otherwise it would be easy for him to fake a move, so he used it now.
How to judge whether Kobe Bryant really broke through? Just focus on his left foot.
Kobe used his left foot as the axis, locked his left elbow, stepped forward with his right foot, and started to break through.
At this time, Marion held himself down and did not move. The next moment, Kobe retracted his right foot and quickly reached out to poke the ball. Kobe dodged and saw Nash's double team coming, so he could only force a fadeaway jumper. In a hurry, he had no height.
There is no significant elevation angle either.
"Crack!"
As his figure surged, Marion swung his long arm and blocked the ball.
Nash took the opportunity to grab the ball, hit the fast break again, and assisted Hardaway for a layup.
After two singles failures, Kobe was a little confused. He suddenly saw the smiling old K inside and suddenly realized what he was doing.
"Old K, are you doing this? Did you really hold something back?" He glared at Old K.
"Who are you talking about? We are rivals now, you traitor!" Lao Wang glared back.
"You're hiding something!"
Kobe snorted angrily, it was obviously you who betrayed me, we could win ten championships together, but you want to go back to the Suns, you are the shameful traitor.
