Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 121
Since the establishment of the NBA Business League, only one player in the league has scored 60+ points in the playoffs, and that is Jordan.
In the 85-86 season, it was the age when Jordan was leveling. Also in the playoffs that season, the Celtics and the Bulls met in a narrow way. Compared with the powerful Celtics, the Bulls seemed weak. But in this round of the series, Jordan made 22 of 41 shots and 19 of 21 free throws, scoring a total of 63 points. However, the result of this game was that the Bulls regretted losing, making Jordan’s 63 points look rather dim. But Jordan’s 63 points are still the highest score in a single game in NBA history, and it was not broken until the year when Kobe was reborn. Today, Kobe hopes to break this record.
Magic said: “The fans who are watching this game estimate that many of the fans are still in chaos. The shift of the Lakers’ offensive focus today may create a new history.”
Chickhearn said excitedly: “Yes, if Kobe breaks this record in front of the league’s single-game scoring recorder in the playoffs, Michael Jordan, I think this will have a huge blow to the Bulls’ morale.”
Magic said: “If the Bulls don’t want to complete Kobe, I think they can only double-team, and they have to follow Kobe in the second half, but Kobe’s passing is second to none in the league. This effect can only make the Lakers other Players score more easily and the Bulls may lose the game.”
Chick Hearn agreed: “Kobe’s shooting ability is terrifying. This is a type of player that has not appeared in NBA history. He has no dead corners, accurate and unpredictable passing. His style of play opened a new way for latecomers. New door.”
The timeout ends and the game restarts.
Harper took the ball for half of the game and immediately handed it over to Jordan. Kobe defended Jordan alone. Jordan tried two times and didn’t find a chance. Pippen came over to cover. Jordan got rid of Kobe and was entangled by Jones.
Jordan’s physical fitness is much better than Jones, Jones tried his best and was squeezed away, Horry immediately helped defend him.
Jordan quickly divided the ball to Barkley before Kobe caught up, and Barkley made an open shot. 69:78.
The Lakers attacked. Kobe ran into the three-point line and received a pass from Van Exel. Under the cover of Jones, he got rid of Jordan and went straight inside. Pippen stepped forward to help defend. Kobe scored the ball to Jones who was open, and Jones missed it. In, O’Neal grabbed the rebound to make up the score. 69:80.
The Bulls attacked, Kobe forced Jordan from outside the three-point line, and Pippen came up to cover. Jordan got rid of Kobe and successfully broke through Jones and dunked the basketball with one hand before Horry interfered. 71:80.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe caught the ball in the backcourt, he encountered a double-team just after he dribbled through the center line, and a single-handed pass to Van Exel who was emptied.
Van Exel dribbled the ball to a step beyond the three-point line and was blocked by Harper. Van Exel passed the ball. Kobe didn’t stop receiving the ball and forced a breakthrough in the face of Pippen, who was in place.
He smashed Pippen with all his strength, and then passed Barkley by a speed change, leaping to pick up the basketball. 71: 82.
This time, Kobe completed a series of actions under high-speed running. Before landing, his body had lost his balance. He bent his legs, landed on his hips, and slid directly in front of the audience. After buffering, Kobe avoided injury. Then Kobe directly stretched his legs and swayed a horse, lowered his waist and legs, and stood up again. This slightly showy gesture drew a huge cheer.
The Zen master stayed on the sidelines to watch, he didn’t know how to deploy defensive tactics against Kobe.
Many people thought that the biggest gap between Kobe and Jordan is the impact of the basket. Now it seems that Kobe has been hiding his strength and he has played everyone.
In fact, Kobe did not use him as a conventional weapon for the breakthrough and change in high-speed sports. The lessons of the later generations of Ross are vivid. As for why Iverson has been playing for so many years, it is mainly because Iverson is light. The center of gravity is low, and the damage to the knee is not too great, but even so, Iverson also suffered frequent injuries due to excessive pursuit of this highly ornamental play. In the end, his strength fell sharply and the team was swept out.
Jordan moved to catch the ball and was followed by Kobe. He failed to get a direct call out. After playing the pick-and-roll with Rodman, he broke through and scored. Barkley caught the ball and scored to the basket, but O’Neal withstood the ball.
Barkley tried to play O’Neal with his back and turned around for a jumper after two hits.
O’Neal put more energy on the defensive end in this game. As soon as the ball was shot, O’Neal was fanned out of the penalty area. Pippen took advantage of his height and arm length to assign the ball to Jordan, and Jordan took the ball and jumped directly into it. 73:82.
Bryant drove the ball to the frontcourt at full speed, Jordan interfered close, Bryant took the ball outside the three-point line and faced Pippen for a three-pointer. He avoided the block, but the ball went wide and O’Neal grabbed the rebound and passed Kobe.
Kobe cut to the center to catch the ball and shoot, Harper pulled the foul from behind.
Kobe relied on surpassing ordinary people in the air, before landing, the right hand pushed the ball out, and the referee blew the whistle, 2+1.
Zhang Yangyi praised: “Kobe’s speed is too fast, and his waist and abdomen are strong enough. Ladu couldn’t remember that he glanced at Zhang Yangyou slantingly, and curled his lips without saying a word.
Kobe also hit a penalty, 73:85.
During the dead ball, Zen Master replaced Ron Harper with Judd Buickler. The Bulls really lack capable players at the point guard position. They usually control the ball in Jordan’s hands. The star point guard is also functional. But now the Zen master regrets not recruiting a good player at the first position, and regrets that he easily let Kerr leave for Barkley. With Kerr this three-pointer, it will not prevent the Lakers players from shrinking and the Bulls outside efficiency will be greatly reduced. .
To be honest, in addition to the four starters such as Jordan, the Bulls are very worried about the strength of the other players. This has caused Jordan, Pippen, Barkley, Rodman and others to play four per game when they are over 30. After ten minutes or more, reaching the finals, these veterans had physical problems, and many technical movements began to deform.
On the Lakers’ side, the bench can play more than ten minutes per game~www.mtlnovel.com~ This allows the main team to get a lot of rest time and enter the finals. Only O’Neal played around 38 minutes per game.
The Bulls attacked, Van Exel let go of the newly added Judd Bujcler and Kobe to double-team Jordan, Jordan passed the ball to Pippen, Pippen scored to the basket to attract Horry and then scored to the right. , Barkley made a mid-range shot. 75:85.
Up to now, the Bulls are the most desperate except Jordan Barkley. For the championship, Barkley pulled his face down to beat his rivals. After losing again this time, he should really think about his future way out.
The Lakers attacked, Van Exel dribbled the ball through the half, Jones and Horry went off the ball to screen together, helping Kobe break the double team and receive the pass.
The Lakers only have O’Neal in the penalty area, and the remaining four players are all on the outside. Bryant catches the ball on the right, two moves outside the three-point line flicker, Pippen jumps out to interfere, and Kobe has the ball to become an extraordinary success.
With other players, there is no need to bother with the ball in this position, but Kobe used his enchanting three-pointer to make the Bulls dare not relax. He can shoot in the midfield, and two steps beyond the three-point line are nothing at all.
After Kobe broke through, Jordan interfered personally. He lowered his center of gravity and leaned on Jordan to pull the ball. After a forced jump, he turned against Rodman’s blocking palm and directly pushed the ball to O’Neal.
After receiving the ball, O’Neal pulled the green onions on a dry field and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands. 75:87.
In fact, it is very taboo to jump and pass on the basketball court. First of all, it is easy to cheat with teammates. After all, teammates often don’t know whether you want to pass or shoot. Secondly, the time for jumping is too short. The ball line is difficult to control. Kobe often plays this way in the league nowadays, which is based on O’Neal’s super personal strength and the tacit understanding between the two.
