Between Time Out
"You guys are amazing, young man!
Odin, you have to be careful next time, I guess Danny Angie replaces Wayman Tisdale
Sun attackers love to shoot, you have to expand the defense, got it? ", Delmar Harris made special arrangements for the defense of Michael Udin.
Back on the pitch, as Delmar Harris had hoped, Danny Angie replaced Wayman Tisdale with Robert Horry.
"Good defense, young man!", Michael Udin never expected that Robert Horry would take the initiative to come to his side and say such a word.
"Are you talking to me?", Michael Udin looked confused and shocked
"Is there anyone beside us?,
That old man just now didn't deserve to share my playtime!
I'm very happy, I was swapped with such a team and met such a coach! ", ten seconds before kick-off, Robert Horry actually started chatting with Michael Udin.
It seems that Robert Horry is very unhappy about being traded to the Phoenix Suns. He even gritted his teeth when he mentioned the coach.
Although Danny Ainge gave Robert Horry an early role, his playtime and rotation time is like sixth person.
Michael Udin recalled that Robert Horry did not stay long with the Phoenix Suns. He got into a fight with head coach Danny Angie in one game. Robert Horry is still in front of more than a dozen cameras. A sweaty towel was thrown directly in Danny Angie's face.
"You are an irreplaceable important person in the winning team!
But in Phoenix, Angie actually made you the sixth Player?
This is absolutely intolerable!, If I were you and I had to find a coach to talk about it,
If you don't give enough playing time to your abilities, I think he is deliberately targeting you! ", Michael Udin will never succumb to the weakness of his opponent, the gap between players and coaches is the best to provoke, because there are some words that Robert Horry just wants to ask for the approval of others. Obviously, every word of Michael Udin comes to mind.
"You are a small high school student from Asia, and you still understand these principles. We should have a good chat when we have the opportunity.", Finally, there was someone who could understand him, and Robert Horry didn't care if he was an opponent on the field.
"Business is business, but friends are also friends. The NBA is changing fast. Maybe one day we will be teammates!", Michael Udin smiled mysteriously.
"You really attract Asian men", Robert Horry also smiled at Michael Udin's words.
"I really can't believe that our Phoenix Suns are in a passive position, but Robert Horry talking and laughing with the opposing Asian high school rookie?
Robert Horry has expressed his disappointment after being traded more than once, but as a professional player, he must do his best to win games for the team during the term of his contract. Hopefully for a while, Robert Horry's appearance is not as relaxed as it is now. "
"Seriously, I miss Charles so much now. This would never happen in his team."
Phoenix's local commentary calls into question Robert Horry's professional demeanor, which also poses a hidden danger to an irreconcilable conflict between him and Danny Angie in the future.
Michael Finley serves the ball. After the timeout, the Suns became more stable, and they continued to pass the ball from the outside.
Robert Horry asks for the ball from outside the three-point line. The rest of the Suns were quick to create one-on-one chances for him, as they all wanted Robert Horry, a key player in the Finals, to teach the Lakers rookies.
Against Robert Horry who held the ball outside the three-point line, Michael Udin did not dare to relax one bit, Michael Udin nervously watched his every move, But Michael Udin did not take into account that Robert Horry did not make any adjustments after receiving the ball, and he went straight to the penalty spot !
Michael Udin could only subconsciously reach out his hand, but Robert Horry's shot was much shorter, and he immediately hit a three-pointer!
After an outrageous shot, Robert Horry returned to his own half without looking back.
There was ridicule at the scene, and this onlooker thought that Charles Barkley would not perform such an operation.
"Watch your rhythm, Robert!", Danny Angie commented on Robert Horry's playing
Robert Horry had not made a single shot in the previous game. At this time, he was appointed to aim for Michael Udin but he took the ball and threw it. However, Michael Udin didn't care what his opponent thought, he just tried his best.
"Good defense! Son!"
Eldon Campbell, who works hard on the pitch, appreciates Michael Udin's defensive attitude, and he never hesitates to cheer on his younger generation.
"The stronger the opponent, the more excited I am!
The more excited I am, the stronger I am! ", Michael Udin believes that his defensive defense shown earlier has taken his opponent by surprise.
Cedric Ceballos is a core figure who deserves to be earned.
Los Angeles Lakers attack. Kobe, who had just scored a dunk, was feeling the heat. After the ball was in his hands, he decided to try acceleration. Kobe faced Michael Finley and made three threats.
Michael Udin is also consciously standing at a 45 degree angle on the left three-point line.
"Rookie! Give me the damn ball!", Cedric Ceballos had the core status of second team tactics acknowledged by Coach Delmar Harris, and Shaquille O'Neal's absence was a great opportunity for him to score points.
Michael Udin who was far away, heard Cedric Ceballos' loud voice very well, but Kobe, who was not far from Cedric Ceballos, didn't seem to hear anything.
Faced with Michael Finley's imminent pressure, Kobe didn't hesitate to get started!
Michael Finley moves horizontally at high speed, Kobe pulls his hips down after an emergency stop! retry jumper shot!
Michael Finley had made the quickest response, but he still failed to touch the ball thrown by Kobe!
hit! Ball Not in!
Even though Kobe didn't score this goal, he showed a strong self-confidence that was not befitting of his age!
His dribbling is light and his sense of position is clear. The ball was perfect except for the slight difference on the last shot!
Kobe has perfectly shaped his personality since his first regular season, that is, I will always be a brave forward!
Kobe missed a shot, Michael Udin was off the three-point line, and Elden Campbell, who came into the line, struggled to strengthen his offensive rebound!
Elden Campbell slaps the ball off the three-point line,
Kobe, who had just failed to attack, still made a posture to grab the ball, as long as Nick Van Exel dared to pass, then Kobe still dared to attack without hesitation!
Just like the team's point guard, ball distribution is his first job, and he must consider interpersonal relationships within the team.
Nick Van Exel ignored Kobe's request for possession, he dribbled to find another chance.
Since Cedric Ceballos is the core of the second team, there will be tactics specially formulated for him this time.
Nick Van Exel will also deliver a pass for a rather angry core. Elden Campbell set the screen for Cedric Seballos forty-five degrees to the right of the free throw line.
Elden Campbell not only blocked defender Cedric Syballos, he also cleared the Phoenix Suns inside.
Nick Van Elsell sweeping, his little hands shaking, the beautiful parabola sending the ball to the right of the ring, full run-ups and take-offs, Cedric Seballos dipping the ball into the aerial relay!
"Look Starter, the ball can only be easily converted into a score by passing it to me!
Remember, this is an NBA arena, not a high school league anymore! ", Cedric Cyballos was a little angry at Kobe for ignoring him. The former dunk king who had just cheered on Kobe's dunk, right now, already regarded Kobe as a thorn in his eyes.
Kobe looked at Cedric Ceballos and revealed his attitude in silence.
In NBA player culture, if it weren't for the cocky guy with the big halo like Allen Iverson, it would be hard for a rookie to split the veteran shot right. Not to mention a small regular season, even in the critical moment of the playoffs, Kobe now dared to throw the ball.
"It seems that your team's atmosphere is not so good?", Robert Horry looked at Michael Udin and revealed his views.
"No this is just a player's competitive nature, you must have felt it too!", Michael Udin is very polite, as long as other people are chatting with him, he must stay with him.
Sam Cassell orchestrated the Suns attack he felt obliged to help the former Houston Key return to his best.
Although Danny Angie was quite critical of Robert Horry's attitude, after all, he was a major bargaining chip for Charles Barkley. If Robert Horry plays too badly, Danny Angie will also suffer the pressure of huge public opinion.
Sam Cassel directed the ball to his team-mates to move, and after a few rounds the ball returned to Robert Horry's hands, and the rest of his teammates also made room for him.
Robert Horry has prejudice against Danny Angie, but his feelings for Sam Cassell are still deep. If his old team-mates are keeping him in this way, he will have to reciprocate too.
Michael Udin still maintains Robert Horry's three-point threat. when Robert Horry pretended to shoot. Michael Udin unknowingly moves forward and Robert Horry makes a breakthrough!
Michael Udin tries to defend Robert Horry as much as possible to slow him down!
Robert Horry's breakthrough was not quick. He had used his left body to lean on Michael Udin who was moving horizontally. This is the safest way to attack in his mind.
When he comes to the basket
Although Michael Udin did not lose his position, Robert Horry's body was getting stronger and stronger, Michael Udin could not escape at all, he could only watch his opponent layup!
Just as Robert Horry was finally about to get his first two points on the court, Elden Campbell suddenly hit out of a diagonal jab!
The ball hits just as it hits the backboard!
Nick Van Exel can only stop the ball, which is closest to him. Michael Udin ran for the ball, and Nick Van Exel passed the ball.
After receiving the ball, Michael Udin dribbled forward, although the ball had been taken, Sam Cassell still pressed Nick Van Elsell and Michael Udin could not pass the ball back.
Robert Horry was moving his knees at the moment, and he seemed to have been pushed a bit during the confrontation earlier.
It makes sense that if Nick Van Exel couldn't catch the ball, Kobe as the shooting guard had to dribble.
But Kobe didn't care about Michael Udin who was advancing dribble, instead he chose to play fast!
Cedric Ceballos, a longtime veteran, saw that Kobe made the wrong choice, he bragged and played fast from the other side. If the ball ends in a mistake, then Kobe and Michael Udin will end up in vain.
But now Michael Udin is dribbling! Despite being seven feet tall!
Although Michael Udin's dribbling skills cannot be compared to NBA-level combo guards, his dribbling skills are not inferior to Shaquille O'Neal's. At SMA Michael Udin's dribbling was one of the best.
Even in the NBA arena, no attacking defense is naturally easy. Seven feet tall Michael Udin has an average speed but a huge stride speed!
NBA defenders like to stand outside the normal collision zone for offensive fouls when dealing with big guys dribbling, because big guys have high inertia and slow speed in disguise, especially for such long range attacks. This situation is generally common. It ended in a big man offensive offense.
Seeing Michael Udin about to hit him, Michael Udin took off 90 degrees vertically, he glanced at Cedric Saiballos, and then he threw his left hand!
Michael Finley noticed Michael Udin's eye movements and immediately defended Cedric Saiballos!
Unexpectedly, the ball in Michael Udin's hand was thrown over Kobe's head
Kobe immediately grabbed the ball and did a Dunk
BAAMMM loud noises are heard in the arena
Dunk dunk with both hands!
The high-speed ball hit the foot of the floor and off the court, which also gave the two rookies time to celebrate!
Kobe and Michael Udin high five excited!
Michael Udin's No-Look Pass and Dunk Kobe created cheers among the Lakers players, this made viewers who watched the replay sigh at the Lakers rookie combination.
"Odin, don't get too excited about your assist, it's not a good choice.", Cedric Ceballos spoke loudly to Michael Udin as he backed away.
After all, it made this unhappy old veteran even more unhappy.
"If we win the opponent by two points, I will play the ball inside. It will be a good goal.", said Michael Udin could not cover his cold face to Cedric Ceballos.
