Chapter 86 Imperial City Pk! Kobe Vs Jiang Chen

When the U.S. players returned to the bench, Coach K didn't even take out the tactical board, but spoke to Kobe.

As the strongest perimeter defensive player of the US team, Coach K has great trust in Kobe.

Kobe nodded seriously, his eyes filled with a fiery fighting spirit.

Being able to compete directly against Jiang Chen in the Olympics was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Kidd, you go off the court and take a rest. Wade is ready to play."

Coach K continued to deploy his troops and sent out the team's strongest lineup.

Kidd nodded and sat on the bench somewhat frustrated.

Being beaten badly in the Olympic Games was something he had not expected when he joined the US team.

"Guys, show your strength. Don't give the Chinese team any chance to catch their breath. Defeat them directly."

Coach K said this with great authority, scanning the players one by one, expressing his dissatisfaction.

The players all nodded, and were a little anxious.

Clearly they had the initiative in the game at the start, but Jiang Chen's outburst changed the situation drastically.

Now we must respond, otherwise where will the world's strongest dream team stand?

From beginning to end, Coach K never took out the tactical board. After all, if problems can be solved by talent, there is no need for complicated tactics.

The U.S. team's offensive and defensive strategy is very simple. They use strong individual defensive capabilities to force their opponents to make mistakes, and then launch fast break counterattacks.

In positional warfare, players use simple pick-and-rolls or rely on their strong individual singles ability to break into the restricted area to attract the defense and then pass the ball.

Pause back.

The game continues.

Kobe stood next to Jiang Chen.

The audience burst into exclamations.

"Kobe is defending Jiang Chen? The internal competition of the Lakers has begun! I wonder who can suppress whom?"

"The game has become more exciting! The matchup between Kobe and Jiang Chen will definitely be exciting."

"Teammate who fought side by side in the NBA Finals are now competing for gold medals for their respective teams in the finals on the international stage, and they are directly competing against each other. This is really a Hollywood script!"

"Looking forward to it! Looking forward to it! Kobe is my idol, but I still choose to support Jiang Chen and the Huaxia team!"

...

"The US team finally sent out Kobe, the best defensive player on the perimeter, to defend Jiang Chen. Coach Zhang, what do you think of Coach K's adjustment?"

Yang Jian turned his head and looked at Zhang Weiping, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

As we all know, Zhang Weiping is a die-hard fan of Kobe.

In his previous commentary on Kobe's games, there were many hilarious classic commentary lines that were widely circulated and ridiculed by fans on the Internet.

"Without a doubt, this is definitely the most eye-catching and classic duel in this Olympics."

"Kobe's defensive ability is very strong. He has been selected to the All-Defensive Team for several consecutive years. We have to admit that."

"However, I still think Jiang Chen will win this duel! After all, Jiang Chen's offensive ability is too strong, and now he has the ability to break through, so he will definitely be unstoppable."

Zhang Weiping said with anticipation in his eyes, muttering in his heart, Jiang Chen must beat Kobe, otherwise the Huaxia team will lose this game.

The Spanish team in the audience.

"This is truly an exciting and anticipated match!"

"Paul, who do you think can suppress whom?"

Navarro said with his eyes shining.

As a teammate of Kobe and Jiang Chen, Gasol is the most qualified person to answer this question.

"Of course I'm optimistic about Kobe."

"Jiang Chen's performance in this Olympics was indeed explosive and unstoppable, but he was facing Kobe Bryant."

"Hey, that's Kobe! That name means everything."

"If Kobe is put in the Chinese team, I believe his performance will not be worse than Jiang Chen's."

Gasol said seriously, appearing very confident.

Navarro's mouth curled up slightly, thinking of Jiang Chen's explosive performance moments, and thought to himself, is this really the case?

...

On the stadium.

The United States team took the lead in attacking.

Kobe took the initiative to go to the top of the arc to ask for the ball.

The moment he received the basketball, his aura changed drastically and his eyes became sharp, as if he was a black mamba spitting out his tongue, waiting for an opportunity to hunt, full of murderous intent.

No extra words, just get started.

He changed direction continuously under his hips, followed by a fake move of shaking his shoulders, and after a fake shot to the left, he accelerated and broke through from the right. After squeezing through half a body length, he made an emergency stop and fade away jump shot.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

The whole set of movements is smooth and seamless, and the directional breakthrough movements are full of details, making it difficult to defend against.

Even though Jiang Chen had activated the skill [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] to defend with all his strength, Kobe still easily shook him off and made a shot.

Jiang Chen had a strong feeling that in front of a scorer of Kobe's level, [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] had begun to fail.

There was a fiery light in his eyes, full of fighting spirit.

Being able to beat a player of Kobe's level is definitely something to be proud of.

This feeling is even better than playing against James in the group stage.

The Chinese team attacks.

After Jiang Chen dribbled across half court, he signaled his teammates to create space so that he could play one-on-one against Kobe.

Kobe Bryant bent slightly, with his hands open and an extremely cold expression, giving people a suffocating feeling of defensive oppression.

Jiang Chen started the four-finger thunder dribble, and after continuous changes of direction, he chose to break through from the right, but was completely seen through by Kobe. He could only stop abruptly, take a step back, and then jump and shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

Kobe frowned, said nothing, and ran to the front court.

Although Jiang Chen scored a goal, he was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. It was unbelievable that his [Hayama Kotaro Thunderous Dribbling] could not break through Kobe's defense.

Fortunately, he still has the unstoppable [Midorima Shintarō's super high arc three-pointer] and [Aomine Daiki's irregular shot], two skills from the miracle generation, otherwise he would have been restricted to death by Kobe.

The United States team attacks.

Kobe held the ball and played one-on-one. After changing direction continuously, he made a three-pointer and scored an answer ball.

This goal also caused the US team's bench to cheer wildly.

Coach K's frown also relaxed.

It has to be Kobe!

No one else has such dominance.

The Chinese team attacks.

After Jiang Chen dribbled across half court, he no longer insisted on playing one-on-one, but instead called on Yao Ming to move to the high post to set up a pick-and-roll.

He knew very well that if he got into a one-on-one match with Kobe, he would lose sooner or later.

And now is not the best opportunity.

Wait until the second half of the game, that's when the victory or defeat will be decided by individual ability!!
