Chapter 169 Kobe Terminator?
The conversation between the two ended quickly, and the warm-up was over and the game began soon.

"Hello, everyone watching TV!"

"I'm Coach Zhang! I'm Yu Jia!"

"Today we will commentate on the Celtics vs. Lakers game for you."

"There are many highlights in this game. In addition to the battle between the two giants of yellow and green, there is also Dayu, who is at the top of the scoring list, versus Kobe. This is bound to be a wonderful duel..."

As Coach Zhang's voice came from the TV, the game officially began.

The Celtics' starting lineup: center Okur, power forward Lin Yu, small forward Dio, shooting guard Tony, and point guard Coach Lue.

The Lakers' starting lineup: center Chris Mihm, power forward Odom, small forward Caron Butler, shooting guard Kobe, and point guard Fisher.

In the original history, the Lakers' starting point guard was Chucky Atkins, who was traded from the Celtics.

But this historical Chucky Atkins was sent to the Timberwolves by the Cardinals in the absence of a point guard.

The Lakers chose to renew Fisher's contract and let Fisher continue to play point guard.

Beep!
With the referee's whistle, Okur successfully jumped the ball and the game officially began.

Coach Lu continued to do the work of a dribbling guard. After dribbling across half court, he passed the ball directly to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu held the ball at the top of the arc and began to organize the offense.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was standing on the sidelines, saw this and expressed his feelings to the magician standing beside him.

"A 2-meter-tall player organizing the offense, Irving, this reminds me of you in the past."

When Magic heard what Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's a pity that Lin Yu went to the Celtics. I have seen Lin Yu's games. He is indeed one of the few extremely versatile players in the league."

While the two were chatting, Odom on the court began to get nervous as he watched Lin Yu dribbling the ball slowly.

Odom is also a very versatile player, capable of scoring, organizing, and rebounding, but that is also why.

He now understands how terrifying Lin Yu is!
And he also didn't want to feel Kobe's death glare.

The next moment, facing Odom, Lin Yu directly shot.

Odom jumped up to block the shot, but Lin Yu's wingspan and jumping ability were simply beyond his ability to block.

Swish!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and went into the net.

After landing, Lin Yu started trash-talking Kobe.

"Kobe, Lamar can't defend me, why don't you and Lamar double-team me together!"

Not good!

The Lakers players' first reaction was not good, and then they all looked at Kobe.

They are the ones who know best how Kobe will respond when faced with provocation.

"Double-team? Don't overestimate it. I am Lin Yu. If you really want to feel what top-level defense is, I will satisfy you!"

Kobe himself is a player who has been selected to the first and second teams many times.

When James had not yet grown up, Bowen relied more on black feet to gain a foothold in the league.

Among the perimeter defenders, except for Kirilenko, no player is better at defense than Kobe!

"Interesting, then let me see how strong your defense is, Kobe!"

"You'll see it!"

Kobe showed no weakness at this time.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Fisher continued to do his job as a dribbling guard.

After dribbling across half court, he passed the ball to Kobe.

After Kobe received the ball, he faced Tony with his back to the basket from mid-range. After turning around and passing Tony, he accelerated into the restricted area.

Facing Okur's defense, he directly made a layup in the air.

Swish!
The basketball went into the net, and the entire Staples Center was instantly filled with cheers!
"Well done Kobe! Beat the Boston crap out of this!"

"Boston scumbags! Kobe will destroy you!"

"Boston will never be able to beat the Lakers! And they can't take away any victory at Staples Center!"

Hearing the sound like a surging tide, Lin Yu was not surprised at all.

Los Angeles is also one of the league's famous devil's home courts.

Moreover, the Celtics are the Lakers' sworn enemies, so Los Angeles fans will naturally not give the Celtics a good look.

Kobe's trash talk started again at this time.

"Lin, your teammates can't defend me, you'd better double-team me with your teammates!"

Lin Yu knew that this was Kobe's response to him.

"Kobe, I'm sure Tony will lock you up because he's the 'Kobe Stopper'."

Tony:? ? ?
Tony looked at Lin Yu with a confused look on his face and asked, "Can you please not involve me when you trash talk?"

Kobe's elbow really didn't hit you!
Kobe Terminator! ?

Kobe glanced at the still somewhat immature Tony, his eyes revealing disdain mixed with anger.

"Tony Allen, right? I want to see how you're going to end me."

When Tony thought something was wrong, the Celtics had already started their attack.

Lin Yu held the ball at the top of the arc. With the help of Okur's pick-and-roll, Dio ran into an open space and received Lin Yu's lob.

At this time, Caron and Butler also switched to defend in front of Dio.

Caron, Butler will also be an All-Star small forward in the future, but he is indeed not good at defending players like Dio.

Although Caron Butler and Dio are both currently playing the power forward position, Dio is clearly more of a power forward position, while Caron Butler is more of a power forward position.

bump!
Dio directly chose to back-up Caron Butler. With the sound of muscles colliding, Caron Butler was pushed back step by step.

Seeing Caron Butler being pushed into the penalty area, Dio chose to make a layup, but Chris Mihm was no pushover.

Chris Mihm averaged 24.9 minutes per game this season and averaged 1.4 blocks per game.

As far as rim protection is concerned, Chris Mihm did a really good job.

Bang!

Dio missed the layup due to interference from Chris Mihm.

After Odom grabbed the rebound, the Lakers began to fight back.

Kobe holds the ball and faces Tony, ready to start singles mode.

Even the Lakers during their two consecutive championship periods used typical star one-on-one tactics.

Run into open space with the help of a screen?
Using pick-and-roll to attack the mismatch?
Kobe: Why waste time? Just do it!
Tony looked at Kobe in front of him and started fighting with him without any hesitation.

bump!
Kobe tried to push away Tony, who was as sticky as taffy, but Tony held Kobe tightly and at the same time reached out to pull Kobe's jersey to prevent Kobe from breaking through easily.

Kobe was also very blunt at this time and directly let Tony feel how powerful he was as the Little Malone of Los Angeles.

How strong is Kobe's elbow?
Battier blew blood on the court.

Ginobili was suspended for elbowing him.

To put it bluntly, Kobe is definitely not a good player on the court!
Tony, who had not yet completely evolved into Kobe's terminator, was already a little overwhelmed.

After all, it really hurts when Kobe elbows you!
