Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 110

Perhaps O’Neal is now focusing on the MVP of the regular season, and in the second game with the Sonics, he played abnormally.

O’Neal was assisted by Vin Baker and missed many hook shots. Kobe could only move the ball to the periphery to increase the number of shots taken by his outside teammates. However, everyone may have been infected by O’Neal, and many open shots were shot.

Kobe originally wanted to increase his breakthrough and attack and disrupt the supersonic defensive formation, but found that his teammates seemed to have lost their souls collectively, and even dunks could dunk.

The Sonics players have regained their offensive feel, Payton is responsible for guiding the pass, and other players have more interspersed runs.

This solved many problems. Payton’s single waterproof accuracy was not low, and other teammates could also help defend Kobe’s side. This made Kobe’s shooting space greatly compressed and forced him to score the ball to the outside. The teammates had a collective failure again, which was very helpless. The contraction of the Supersonic formation made O’Neal unable to catch the ball and dunk freely, the hook missed his head again, and the free throw was worse than the previous one.

Wen Baker burst out of his full strength, both offensive and defensive ends are like the gods descending to the world, and in the second quarter he even covered O’Neal two big caps.

In this game, the referee’s penalty scale is also very strange, in addition to the foul whistle against Kobe is very tight, the Supersonics often ignore the small movements of other Lakers players.

The Lakers’ bench also has problems. Perhaps the main players have not been able to take advantage, causing the benches to be afraid of taking responsibility, playing fiercely, and making many mistakes in the fast counterattack.

In the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally recovered their feel, but unfortunately the situation has gone, and they have been unable to recover.

Kobe played 40 minutes, 7 of 14 shots, 3 of 7 3-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 22 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal.

O’Neal played 43 minutes, made 9 of 26 shots, 3 of 12 free throws, 21 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Only four of the Lakers scored in double figures. The other highest-scoring player was Rick Fox, who had 19 points and 3 rebounds.

88 to 94, it seems that the point difference is not big, but everyone who has watched the game knows that the Lakers have not led the entire game even once, and the total score of the two teams has become 1 to 1.

For the Sonics, Vin Baker made 16 of 29 shots, 7 of 9 free throws, scored 39 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks. Payton was not bad, 9 of 23 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 20 points and 4 rebounds. With 11 assists, his greatest achievement is to limit Kobe.

The old Nelson was helpless. The Lakers had a collective disorder. This is very rare. He can only try to relax the players’ mentality. The only thing that makes him gratified is that Kobe has not lost his direction and is still stable and mature.

After winning, the SuperSonics are still relatively low-key. After all, they also know that this game is a bit out of the ordinary. George Carr said in an interview: “We still need to continue to work hard. The Lakers are stronger than us. Once we become proud, we will fall into The abyss that cannot be restored.”

On the second day of training, Sr. Nelson gathered all personnel for a meeting, and O’Neal, as the team boss, took the lead in speaking.

“Everyone, I played very poorly yesterday… We all lost our common sense. We must win the championship this season. I hope everyone can continue to give me more help in future games.”

O’Neal’s words are worthy of scrutiny. What he meant was that yesterday’s game because he did not shoot from the outside line, he was also double-teamed and lost its effect. Not only that, but O’Neal’s words also showed that he wanted to win the finals. The ambition of MVP.

Kobe looked at other teammates’ complexion and turned out to be ugly, and immediately came out to round the field. “Don’t mind, yesterday’s game was just an accident, because I couldn’t concentrate, I was a little distracted, and there were many mistakes in passing to everyone that shouldn’t be made, so I want to apologize to everyone.”

Old Nelson glanced at Kobe, smiled with satisfaction, and said loudly: “Everyone understands that every team will lose. Everyone will work together. We will definitely win this series. Everyone will go back and take a good rest. Excellent, it will be us who will eventually enter the finals!”

On the 8th, the day the Lakers moved to Seattle and the SuperSonics in the third game, the major awards of the 1997-1998 regular season were selected one after another.

The Rockets’ Tim Duncan scored the Rookie of the Year with an average of 21.1 points and 11.9 rebounds per game. The second place on the rookie list is Tracy McGrady, who swaps with Duncan. He averaged 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.9 assists. 1.2 steals have become the core of the Celtics offense and defense.

The Eagles’ Dicambe-Mutombo re-elected the best defensive player, but unfortunately the Eagles have been eliminated, the African mountains also went home early and started fishing.

The best sixth man was won by John Starks of the New York Knicks. He averaged 13.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists, shooting 39.3% from the field and 32.7% from the three-point range.

The most improved player is Alan Henderson of the Eagles. This buddy will have a season of highlight, and then he will take a sharp turn and become the marginal man of each team.

The biggest MVP of the regular season was won by O’Neal. Jordan ranked second and Kobe third.

This season the Lakers have become the holder of the best record in the regular season. If the team leader does not win, it will be very controversial.

Bryant ranked third, indicating that the league has fully recognized his strength, he will also become the leader of the league outside players after Jordan.

Many people complained about Kobe, thinking that O’Neal could not win this award without Kobe’s full help.

“I deserve this award~www.mtlnovel.com~ Bryant and his teammates have helped me a lot, but I don’t think there is any super personal ability, no matter how many people help you!”

O’Neal is very disgusted with the doubts from the outside world. If he didn’t know Kobe’s usual personality, he would have thought that Kobe guided the media to say so. After all, Kobe has this ability.

“Shaquille’s award is not controversial. If it were not for the low exposure of inside players, he would be the first person in league history to ban Michael.”

Kobe has repeatedly compared O’Neal with Jordan, making the first man in the league very disgusting, which will further lower his historical status. At the same time, he also realizes that O’Neal’s scheming is his brother in front of Kobe.

“Congratulations to Shaquille for winning the MVP, I hope he will continue to work hard, I hope that his future MVP number can be comparable to me, but I am most optimistic about McGrady, I think he is the player most like me, and Bryant , I think he should be the successor of the magician. Hope that all the rising stars of the alliance can inherit the fine traditions of our predecessors and let the alliance continue to glory.”

Jordan stood in the predecessor’s position to comment on the heroes of all walks of life, even Kobe has nothing to do, this is naked to use seniority to play gangsters, worthy of senior gangsters.
