Chapter 22 How did this ball come in? (Supplementary for Sunday)
The second quarter starts.
The Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy sent out the lineup: Eric Gordon, Craig Smith, Kliscaman, Marcus Camby, and Byron Davis.
The Lakers' lineup is: Zhou Mubai, DJ Mbenga, Artest, Odom and Vujasic.
Artest quietly walked to Zhou Mubai and said, "Zhou, don't forget what you promised me."
Vujasic said curiously: "What's the matter?"
Ate glanced at Vujasic: "A small matter."
Vujasic: "???"
Zhou Mubai smiled. At that time, he had a conflict with Artest. He said in Artest's ear, as long as you don't make trouble, I will pass more balls to you.
Under the referee's whistle, the second quarter began.
Duan Ran, sitting in the press room, straightened her waist and stared at the bottom with bright eyes.
Whether it is the summer league or preseason, those stages have a reference effect, but in the end it depends on their performance in the regular season. If Zhou Mubai can perform well in the regular season, he will really be able to stand firm on the NBA stage.
China has not lacked NBA players in recent years, but Yao Ming's serious injury last season has been nowhere to return. Nowadays, Chinese players in the NBA lack a player who can truly represent China.
Sun Dasheng has been fired and cannot even sign a contract. Yi Jianlian can only be considered an excellent role player in the NBA and is far from reaching Yao Ming's influence. Zhou Mubai can probably look forward to it now.
"Kobe, what level do you think Week can do?" Phil Jackson smiled.
Kobe shook his head: "This is his first career show, just let him feel it. The first game was not that easy."
Phil Jackson held back his laughter. He knew what Kobe's first game was going on. Kobe's performance in his career was average. He played only 0 of 1 shots in 6 minutes, but he didn't score a single point.
However, he didn't say much. For most rookies, their performance in their debut is generally normal, and those who are very rare in their debut are excellent.
Kobe glanced at Phil Jackson and said, "For low-couples, it is generally normal for a rookie to perform in his first performance. If a rookie wants to perform well, he must have the ball in his hands.
LeBron was able to perform well because he was highly anticipated before he entered the NBA and could control most of the ball in his debut. This is the key to playing well because he has the strength and the ball."
Phil Jackson nodded and confirmed that this was the point.
Anyone who makes a great debut is a rookie who is highly valued by the team.
Rookies who are not valued even have a rare opportunity to play, so how can they talk about playing?
But no matter what, it is good. Your own strength is the reason for your ultimate performance, otherwise there would be no so-called parallel-makers, the second place.
The game has begun, the Lakers have the ball.
Zhou Mubai received the ball in the midfield and dribbled through half the game, and the defender was Byron Davis.
Davis is a heavy point guard, 191cm tall and weighs 95kg, compared to Zhou Mubai, who is only 86kg in 192cm.
Zhou Mubai had just passed the ball to halftime when Odom brought it up to catch the ball. He is the team's sixth man. In the second team, he was the leader who led the team forward.
Seeing that Odom wanted the ball, Zhou Mubai had to give it to him and then ambush the bottom corner according to the tactical arrangement.
This is Phil Jackson's tactical arrangement. In the Lakers, the role of point guard is not important, and Fisher is the same when he is on the court. In addition to dribbling the ball and passing the half, he just ambushed the bottom line. Sometimes Kobe even snatched the role of dribbling the ball and passing the half.
As for the second team, most of them are Odom who plays the role of the organization, and Famal and Shannon Brown are just decorations.
Davis is an old ball player, and he is clear about the Lakers' arrangements and shrinks back to help other people defend.
Odom broke through Craig Smith with the ball. Davis went over to attack. Odom passed the ball to Zhou Mubai, and then quickly retreated to catch the ball and attacked again. When he turned around, he found that Zhou Mubai had already shot from the bottom corner.
Odom: "???"
Davis: "????"
To be honest, the choice of this ball is not wrong. There is no problem with the open three-pointer shooting, but a rookie is so determined to take action... Is there really no problem?
The orange basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air.
"The shooting posture is pretty good..." Davis thought.
"Swish!" The basketball hit the bull's eye and passed through the net without any delay.
Really entered!
Davis shook his head and said, "I used to catch the ball and travel through half the game. There was nothing to say about this kind of ball. I made an open shot and went in. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
This ball caused a not-so-warming applause from Staples Center.
Duan Ran was very excited and stood up directly.
"Hey, man, you're blocking me." The reporter behind reminded.
"Oh, sorry, sorry!" Duan Ran quickly sat down.
Kobe smiled and said to Phil Jackson: "He is much more determined than my debut."
Phil Jackson stroked his off-white beard, smiled and said nothing.
Davis dribbled over halftime and handed it to Gordon. Gordon missed a breakthrough shot. Odom grabbed the rebound and rushed directly to the frontcourt. The Clippers' defense was quick, and they did not allow the Lakers to form a fast attack. Odom had to slow down.
"Hey, Ron!"
When Atae heard Zhou Mubai calling him, he looked back at the sword Zhou Mubai making gestures with him. He remembered that Zhou Mubai promised to pass the ball to him, so he quickly came down to cover Zhou Mubai. Only when Zhou Mubai catches the ball can he have a chance.
With the help of Atai's cover, Zhou Mubai got rid of Davis and rushed to the three-point line.
Odom was observing his teammate's running position. When he saw Zhou Mubai rushing out to catch the ball, he quickly passed the ball, but he regretted it as soon as he made a move because Zhou Mubai did not look at him.
Odom wanted to raise his hand to cover his face because the ball was already aimed at Zhou Mubai's head. He knew how strong the ball he passed was. Don't make a joke if you hit Zhou Mubai with a concussion in a while.
"Be careful!" the fans off the court shouted anxiously.
But he was obviously worried. Zhou Mubai didn't even turn his head, and directly stretched out his right hand to catch the ball. The basketball spun a few times on his hand, just like a well-behaved dog being comforted.
The next moment, Zhou Mubai shook his wrist gently, and the basketball shot out like a cannonball, bounced back on the ground two meters ahead.
After Artest covered, he ran inside. This was just a running position.
Generally speaking, this kind of running position is just a errand, but when I look back, basketball is already in front of me.
Artest quickly received the ball, and there was no one in front of him, so he jumped up and dunked.
Staples burst into cheers like overwhelmingly.
Chapter completed!
