NBA Absolute Flood Control Dam

Chapter 42: Cover Kobe

   "Hammer, you hit the fifth position."

   Before the Suns came off the bench, Frank also began to adjust the lineup, first won the rookie pick Zako Kabakapa, let Li Bading to the center position.

   "OK!"

   Li Ba prefers this position now, and his mobility weakness can be concealed.

   "Marion, come on."

   At the fourth position, Frank replaced the main force.

   That's it for the time being, after all, it was only the second minute of the second quarter, and it was not time for the main players to play.

   Instead of Marion, he can use his outside ability to open up the Lakers' inside defense, which is conducive to Li Ba's inside attack.

   At the same time, Marion's defense is also very much needed by the team. His defense can go from the outside to the inside. In particular, his defense ability is very good, and his defense awareness is very strong.

   On the Lakers side, Jackson didn't make a substitution, he changed his tactics.

   "Kobe, don't throw the ball outside, rush in, use foul tactics to solve that rookie, it's easy for you." He said.

   Kobe nodded, but said nothing.

   He thinks that rookie is not enough to let him use foul tactics, which exalts him too much. But he doesn't want to refute Phil face to face. At the moment, his public opinion is not good. He doesn't want the media to tell the media about his relationship with Phil.

   The Lakers attacked, Fei Xiaoyu had the ball over the frontcourt, and Kobe moved to the top arc to catch the ball.

   The Suns are still in the 32 zone defense. Substitute small forward Jacobson defended at the free throw line. At this time, he took a step forward and defended on the three-point line.

   Kobe deliberately threw a three-pointer here. Facing this substitute, he thought it was easy. But then he saw the Suns rookie on the inside beckoning at him, and the fire suddenly burst.

   A cross dribble, Kobe completed a breakthrough from the left side of Jacobson, and began to penetrate the left edge of the paint zone.

   In front of him is Li Ba defending the left wing low.

   Li Ba stuck behind the Lakers backup center Grant. The center weighs less than 100 kilograms and is far less powerful than him. His position is quite relaxed.

   After he took a seat, he saw Kobe take the ball and beckoned and provoked. Then, he immediately saw Kobe coming here.

   He reacted immediately and moved one step into the paint area, blocking Kobe and the basket.

  His arms are raised, roots are growing under his feet, and he stays in his cylinder, waiting for Kobe to come up.

   Kobe has a lot of ways to solve the problem at this time, stopping jump shots or throwing shots. The rookie who is two meters away from him can't beat him, but he still wants to give Phil a face, so he continues to rush up.

   When approaching Li Ba's body, his ankle suddenly turned and his knee folded. He suddenly accelerated and changed direction. He made a change of direction and wanted to attack the basket from the right side of Li Ba.

   This acceleration action, he did it to stimulate the rookie of the Suns.

   Everyone has an instinctive reaction. When he suddenly accelerates, he bet that this rookie is 90% likely to reach out. And he can make a foul, shoot another, and hit a 2+1.

   Kobe accelerates to change direction, hits Li Ba with his left shoulder, then immediately jumps up, and starts to pick the basket with his right hand.

   Li Ba did reach out his hand.

   He didn't move under his feet, even his head didn't move much, he didn't even see where the ball was, and he smashed his left hand to the side.

   "Flute!"

   The referee’s whistle rang, but it failed to prevent the incident from happening.

   Li Ba's long wingspan came into play at this time. It crossed Kobe's body and came to Kobe's right side.

  , like swatting a fly, slapped heavily on the ball just picked out by Kobe. After flying the ball, the giant palm fell on Kobe's head.

"what!"

   Kobe hummed painfully and slammed it on the floor.

   He is wrong. One was that Li Ba's wingspan was wrongly estimated, thinking that he used his right hand to pick the basket and the rookie would not be able to touch his ball, but Li Ba just covered it. Second, although Li Ba stretched out his hand, he went to the ball instead of pulling him.

"Oh!"

   This time the real audience exclaimed, and when they saw Kobe being covered, everyone took a breath.

   Before the Suns bench, Frank was stunned.

   On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson, who was there, opened his mouth wide.

   On the ESPN live broadcast, Brin was taken aback.

   "Flute!"

   The referee blew his whistle continuously.

   All the players on the field gathered around, but unexpectedly, there was no contradiction. This is very strange, no one gave Kobe a head start.

   "Damn rookie, this is a malicious foul!" On the Lakers bench, Karl Malone stood up and shouted at the court.

   O'Neal also threw away the towel and stood up.

  Of course the other Lakers players also stood up, but no one spoke for Kobe.

   "Oh, Kobe, Kobe, he was slapped by a rookie!" Brin finally reacted and began to explain.

   "Sir, I am a normal cover, there is no problem." Li Ba said to the referee with a serious face.

   "Hammer, don't talk, let me come." Penny said as he squeezed between Li Ba and the referee.

   At this time Kobe got up. He was fine, his hips hurt, his forehead was a little red, and his face was gloomy.

   Defensive foul, two free throws and one throw, this is the penalty given by the referee.

   Both parties were dissatisfied with this penalty.

   "Mr. Referee, have you watched the replay? Even if you don't go to the recorder to watch the response, please look at the big screen. Look, it is a good hat, a good hat that can be used as a template!"

   Frank saw the referee's gesture and jumped directly.

   "Sir, he should be punished directly. It was a malicious foul~www.NovelMTL.com~ at least a first-degree malicious foul!" Phil Jackson gave his advice to the referee in a gentle manner.

   "Shh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

   The fans on the scene are the most dissatisfied, because the playback on the big screen above their heads tells them that this is an absolute good hat. They stood up one after another, booing loudly.

   "Boy, you wait for me." Karl Malone shouted at Li Ba off the court.

   He was very angry. He joined the Lakers with a minimum salary for a ring. If Kobe is injured by this rookie, it might affect his ring. So at this moment, he can't wait to play and teach the rookie a lesson.

   Li Ba sneered. Compared with Malone, he is simply too kind.

   In 1989, Malone elbowed a layup, Thomas, the boss of the Knicks Bad Boys. The latter's brow bone was broken by the elbow, and forty stitches were sewn. The scar is still there today, more than ten years later, and the price he paid was only a ban and a fine of 10,000 US dollars.

   In the 97-98 regular season, Dr. Iron Elbow Malone elbowed Admiral Robinson, one of the four major centers who was taking off, in the back of the head, causing the latter to directly shock and concussion afterwards. And he didn't even get a foul. Also in the second round of the playoffs this season, he kicked Robinson on the ground again in the neck, and also didn't get a foul.

   He also elbowed Jordan. Jordan was taken off the field on the spot, unable to open his eyes for a long time, and he did not get a foul.

   There are also such as Nash, Barkley, Grant, etc., all of which have been elbowed by him. Nash changed his teeth and Barkley tore his muscles. He even hit Donnie Marshall's lower body on his knees, causing the opponent to be reimbursed for the season. Even at school, he used an elbow to let a classmate ruin his basketball career.
