Chapter 176: Chapter 119 "Shooting" (Requesting ten thousand daily votes and monthly tickets today!)_3

Guy’s layup after getting past Artest veered off, and Odom grabbed the defensive rebound.

Kobe continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, while also noting Odom’s position.

Kobe wasn’t a great organizer, but number 24 was very willing to share the ball, especially with teammates who were in good form.

"I bet you can’t make this shot, $500,000," Hansen said to Kobe at that moment.

In fact, he could’ve collected Anti-Fans points from Kobe fans not necessarily before the game, those words could’ve been said after the game.

Especially if the Grizzlies won the game, the effect would be even better.

But the reason he said those words before the game, and even picked words that Kobe cared about, was because he needed to provoke Kobe in this way, to get Kobe to engage in one-on-one with him.

This was the key to victory he summed up from the two games against the Lakers last season.

However, after Odom came on, Kobe started to connect plays and he had to "disrupt and correct."

Sure enough, Kobe didn’t pass anymore.

If he remained unmoved by such a rookie’s provocation, then he would not be Kobe, he would be James.

What Hansen didn’t expect, however, was that Kobe gestured for Gasol to set a screen.

Are you possessed by James?

Randolph definitely couldn’t switch fast enough on defense; it was up to Hansen to scramble over.

But Gasol and Kobe had a high level of understanding and, even though Hansen had rushed over quickly, it still gave Kobe an instant shot opportunity.

That moment, to others, was not an opportunity, but it was for Kobe.

Hansen leaped to interfere, but the extent of the interference was clearly not as great as the previous two shots.

"Swish!"

Kobe scored the shot.

Hansen saw the Anti-Fans points in the Anti-Fans System suddenly increase by two thousand.

Kobe’s basket might be a tough one, but it set off a climax among the Kobe fans.

And his pre-game hunch was right; because of his extreme taunting, although the game wasn’t played in Los Angeles, who knows how many Kobe fans were watching on TV, waiting to see him embarrass himself.

Now that he failed to defend a shot, it was enough to cause some people to fervently criticize him.

"$500,000," Kobe said, looking at Hansen.

Normally, he wouldn’t have taken such words seriously, but Hansen’s words before the game had touched his bottom line.

"I remember, the last time I made a bet with VC, that guy still owes me $500,000, go ask him for it," Hansen said, his face impassive.

Anti-Fans value +10.

A number popped up in the Anti-Fans System.

Those two thousand Anti-Fans points popped up as +1+1, this sudden jump in points obviously came from Kobe.

Randolph drew a foul from Odom underneath and hit both free throws.

On the Lakers’ next possession, Kobe signaled for everyone to clear out.

He respected Hansen, but now he was agitated.

This time Kobe continued with a post-up attack, but unlike before, he used a jump stop to reset his pivot foot.

This killer move, derived from Olajuwon’s Illusion Step, helped him shake off Hansen successfully.

But Hansen, after a boost in physical ability, leaped and stretched out to interfere with Kobe’s shot.

However, Kobe, in mid-air, made an adjustment to avoid Hansen’s block and released the shot before landing.

This astonishing core strength was breathtaking.

"Swish!"

With the sound of the basketball netting again, a wave of amazement swept through the crowd.

Hansen also couldn’t help but marvel; this is why the mid-range shot was a killer move.

As long as your mid-range game was strong, even the best defense was ineffective.

This shot also earned him three thousand Anti-Fans points.

It seemed the more difficult Kobe’s shot, the more eager Kobe fans were to criticize him.

"Your defense has certainly improved, but it’s still not enough," Kobe said coldly to Hansen after making two consecutive shots.

"Is that so? I don’t believe it, unless you drop 30 points on me," Hansen retorted disdainfully.

Anti-Fans value +10.

points! Who are you underestimating!

Kobe truly wanted to tear Hansen’s mouth apart.

But Hansen merely spread his hands and turned back to the baseline to inbound the ball.

On the Grizzlies’ offense, Guy shook off Artest for a mid-range shot and kept the Grizzlies’ lead at eight points.

This time Kobe directly took the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and faced off against Hansen.

Hansen also put forth his utmost concentration.

He wasn’t sure if his previous reasoning was correct, but playing tough defense against Kobe was the right move.

This time Kobe didn’t post up, but instead faced up and drove.

Hansen’s footwork was solid; though he didn’t know the "Little Dog Steps," his improved physique gave his slides rhythm.

Kobe’s excessive desire to attack played against him this time because Hansen didn’t have to be distracted by watching for his passes.

Finally, Kobe reached the free-throw line but was stopped by Hansen.

Kobe exhibited his signature move: a physical, forceful jump shot.

A fake, followed by another fake, then a jump shot after the final fake.

If it came to mid-range shooting ability, Kobe was second to Jordan, but his strength in forced shots was unmatched in history.

However, a fully focused Hansen successfully anticipated the shot, jumping almost simultaneously with Kobe and blocking his shooting angle.

Kobe attempted to lean back again, but Hansen’s hand, which moved forward a bit, touched the ball as Kobe released it.

Kobe’s forceful shot was blocked!

The basketball ended up out of bounds without touching the rim, a complete miss.

The ball remained with the Lakers, but the venue was filled with cheers from the fans.

This was a head-to-head block, and the one being blocked was Kobe!

Hansen didn’t see a +10 Anti-Fans value this time, but his Anti-Fans points in the system had skyrocketed by five thousand!

Kobe’s scoring was enough to thrill the Kobe fans, but Hansen’s block just doubled the number of Kobe fans criticizing him.
