Chapter 645

"Jump ball!"

The jump ball between Yao Ming and O'Neal.

"Hah!"

O'Neal let out a shout, spotted the opportunity, leaped up, and snatched the basketball before Yao Ming, winning the first possession of the entire game for the Lakers.

Winning the first offensive possession of Game 7.

This is Game 7.

This is the Game 7 of the Finals, so every possession is particularly critical; from the first round, the game must be played with every second counting.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Kobe dribbled the ball forward, arriving at the top of the arc on the right side.

Su Yan stepped forward to stare at Kobe; tonight, besides attacking, he must also provide maximum interference to Kobe on the defensive end.

Even if.

You know Kobe will force shots, take wild shots, force attacks, and play very unreasonably.

But even so, you must give him the defensive pressure he deserves, otherwise the "Little Flying Warrior" who has already grown up will definitely teach you a good lesson.

However.

The moment Kobe saw Su Yan, he immediately gave his teammate a look, and Payton immediately came up to set a screen.

Kobe bypassed Su Yan and faced Hinrich's defense in the middle of the arc.

"Hmm?"

Su Yan felt a bit strange seeing this.

This doesn't look like Kobe's style, and even less like the Kobe who pressured the Lakers' management this season, determined to suppress O'Neal and seize power.

Kobe faced Hinrich, switched hands between his legs, kicked off the ground to accelerate, and rushed out like lightning.

Hinrich gritted his teeth and moved laterally to cover.

"Bang!"

Kobe gave a bit of contact, accelerated again, instantly passed Hinrich cleanly, and without slowing down, rushed into the paint, holding the ball high.

"Boom!"

A one-handed dunk, bombing the rim, sounding the opening victory for the Lakers.

Although Yao Ming was in the paint, O'Neal was also there, so he couldn't pounce too fiercely.

"Yao, Kobe won't pass the ball to O'Neal, so next time when he rushes in again, follow him and give enough defensive pressure!"

Pippen returned to the court to remind him.

"Indeed."

Yao Ming suddenly realized, nodding repeatedly, "Got it, Brother Pippen, I will follow him next time."

However.

In the very next round, Kobe again actively asked for a screen, bypassed Su Yan, and then mismatched against Pippen's defense.

As long as it wasn't Su Yan, Kobe dared to attack.

Continuous crossover dribbling, and the moment he took the ball with his right hand, Kobe rushed out again.

The speed was too fast, the explosion too fierce.

If it were Pippen in his prime, he might have been able to defend a bit. But now he really couldn't keep up, completely couldn't keep up.

Kobe once again shook off Pippen's defense and rushed in again, rushing into the restricted area.

He flew up one step into the forbidden area, about to perform a gorgeous and violent dunk again.

"This is my territory."

Yao Ming pounced in defensive support, his 226 cm giant height giving Kobe enough defensive pressure.

It seemed that as long as Kobe dared to dunk, Yao Ming would give him an invisible, sky-covering block.

Kobe forced the attack, regardless of everything, wanting to attack the rim against Yao Ming's defense?

If this were before.

Kobe would definitely do this.

But now... the "OK Duo" has put down their prejudices and briefly united.

Thus.

The moment Yao Ming really came to support, Kobe's eyes condensed, and then he threw a high lob to the other side.

No one followed.

O'Neal, who had been waiting hungrily, leaped high, caught the basketball passed by Kobe with both hands, and then a heavy dunk.

"Boom!"

A powerful heavy dunk; the rim, no, the entire basketball hoop was teetering, as if it were at risk of collapsing at any moment.

Yao Ming:???

Kobe passed the ball? And passed it to O'Neal, is this reasonable?!

Pippen:???

How is this possible!!!

The Bulls players were all stunned, looking at the alley-oop connection between OK, feeling it was very incredible.

"Sure enough."

Only Su Yan's expression was calm; from the moment Kobe asked for a screen and bypassed his defense, he felt something was wrong.

Now seeing him and O'Neal have cooperation at the start.

Su Yan could already be certain that the "OK Duo" had put down their personal grievances and reunited on the stage of the Finals Game 7.

Then such a Lakers team would be the most powerful existence.

"Beep!"

Coach Skiles also noticed something was wrong immediately and called a timeout.

"Guys, the OK Duo has united, and the current Lakers are in a complete and most powerful state of combat strength.

Full-level alert.

Everyone must get serious and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the game.

Only in this way, facing the serious Lakers luxurious Big Four, do we have a chance to win the game.

Understand?"

"Yes, Coach!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

The Bulls players have always been playing the game seriously.

But when the coach said that the Lakers also started not to play wildly, they would be even more serious, treat every offense and defense even more cautiously, until they win the game.

Soon.

The timeout returned.

The game continued.

Su Yan controlled the ball at the top of the left arc, Kobe came up to defend, defending with full concentration.

Kobe, who has had many All-Defensive First Team selections in his career, also has very strong defensive strength.

Su Yan wants to break through, he needs to be serious.

"Bang!"

Su Yan first gave Kobe a tough confrontation, and after bumping him back half a body length, he planned to accelerate to shake off Kobe.

Kobe stabilized his footing while retreating and followed up again.

However, Su Yan possesses the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, predicted that Kobe would chase over, and made another change of direction, completely shaking off Kobe and killing his way in.

However.

Just after passing Kobe, Devin George's defense supported, and then Karl Malone's defensive support followed.

Everyone was staring at Su Yan.

"Whoosh!"

Facing the three-man encirclement, Su Yan decisively passed back to Pippen at the top of the left arc, then transferred to Hinrich in the left corner.

Wide open.

Hinrich calmed down, raised his hand for a three-pointer.

"Swish!" ===== CHAPTER 647 =====
