Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 124

The reason why the Lakers desperately double-teamed Jordan was to test his selflessness and trust in his teammates. As a person in Lianbi, Jordan is well-known for his persistence in data. He has brushed points and triple-doubles, but he has never brushed assists.

In fact, the legendary stars in the history of the league are all brushes, and they can’t become superstars without the ability to be a brush. Data brushing is a recognition of ability.

Jordan made a three-pointer backwards in front of Fox and Van Exel. He can’t make a low attack now. The penalty area has been blocked by both players.

Fox’s defense was better than the previous round. The defense against Jordan did not miss. Although Jordan made two three-pointers from the outside, Jordan’s three-pointers really couldn’t kill the Lakers.

Five minutes later, the point difference between the two teams widened to 11 points. The Bulls’ number one position pitted them to death, and Harper’s shooting percentage was barely close to 30%.

It’s not that Jordan’s physical fitness is not as good as Kobe. Jordan’s current body is still at its peak; it’s not that Jordan’s ability is not as good as Kobe. Just offense from the low post. Jordan is better than Kobe. Kobe is offensive. Almost not in the position, but because Kobe’s style of play is too different. The body of the forward and the technique of the shooting guard are similar to the point guard who controls the rhythm.

Jordan also tried to pass the ball to Pippen and Barkley, but the Lakers just let Harper and Rodman go, and they took good care of his two teammates.

Bryant took the bench to deal with the Bulls’ main team for half of the game, and the Bulls only caught up to seven points. Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the old Nelson replaced the main players one after another, and the main attack point was also transferred to O’Neal.

Kobe began to rush to the bulls’ weak side to attract double-teams, and scored the ball to O’Neal who cut in the middle. O’Neal finally broke out after resting for most of the quarter. A dunk at the basket, a strong beat of Rodman, and another attracted Barkley. After the defense, the ball was scored and Horry made a three-pointer with an assist.

The Bulls could only replace Harper, who had nothing to do with him, and replaced him with Luc Langley in order to strengthen the defense in the penalty area, but in this way, he would not be able to effectively defend the Lakers’ perimeter attack group led by Kobe. As soon as Luc Langley came on the court, Kobe speeds up the ball, so Jones and Van Exel have a lot of open opportunities.

At halftime, the Lakers extended their lead to 15 points.

Magician commented: “Initially, many people thought that the Bulls would definitely make adjustments in the second round of the game. The Lakers would no longer have any advantages, but they did not expect that it was because of Kobe’s restraint that the Bulls did not have the upper hand. Suppressed by the Lakers.”

Chickheun laughed and said: “Perhaps the league really has reached the time for a new generation. If Kobe can take over the banner of Jordan, it would be a good thing for the development of Lianmei.

David Stern was unconvinced about Chick Hearn’s preference for the lake, but he was extremely acknowledgment of what he said. His son doesn’t want to play anymore. It’s time to find a new godson. The league wants more Furthermore, no attention is not enough. Kobe’s personality is not as vulgar as other black players, and there is no bad behavior outside the court. He is rich and talented. In addition, he looks more in line with the aesthetics of Europe and the United States. They are all very tall, they are the perfect successor to Jordan.

“Adam, what’s the ratings for this show?” Stern asked.

Adam jokes hurriedly and said: “The last game when Kobe broke the record was watched by 42 million people. This game started with 38 million people.”

“Very good, very good, watch me anytime.”

David Stern is very excited, he has always wanted to turn the NBA into North America and even the world’s first league. Originally in history, in the finals of this season, Jordan beat the Jazz in the sixth game, setting a record of 36 million people watching.

“If we continue to fight like this, it will be difficult for Michael to gain an advantage in the next game. Should we inform the arbitration…”

Adam’s jokes have begun to wonder about the ways of crooked doors. He was quite shocked by the ratings of the finals, which also made him wish he could play seven games.

“Don’t, we must ensure that the judgment of the game is fair and fair. I don’t want any stains in this classic finals.” David Stern said righteously.

The fact is that he and Adam have the same jokes, and hope that the finals will be decided at the last minute. But before the playoffs, he called to inquire about Kobe’s need for extra care, but Kobe refused categorically, and Kobe also emphasized to him that if the Lianmei game can’t guarantee basic fairness, Kobe feels he will There is no need to fight in the league anymore. It is better to make movies, sing and become an exclusive literary star.

Kobe’s words scared David Stern at the time. Jordan retired and Kobe left again. Who else could the league rely on to maintain commercial value? Like Iverson? The fledgling McGrady? Duncan who plays ugly? Love the funny O’Neal? Or those old ball ruffians who are in their twilight years? They can’t afford the void left by Jordan.

Kobe took a rest in the second half. Hurao’s offense immediately fell into a quagmire. Whether it was Fisher or Van Exel, they would never become a first-class point guard. Their overall view of the situation was not enough, and their passing vision and ability to read the game were not good. , Once forced by the Bulls outside players, the basketball can’t pass. Without Kobe, the fast break can’t be played.

The Bulls took the opportunity to recover eight points, reducing the difference to within ten. Old Nelson could only exchange Kobe back in advance, the situation was immediately reversed, and the points difference widened again.

Zen master racked his brains in order to restrict Kobe, so that Jordan tried both single defense and double-teaming. No one can restrain one-on-one. Kobe played too maturely. He always knew how to play to make the Bulls uncomfortable and make the Lakers run more smoothly. The main reason is that Kobe’s outside three-pointer is too abnormal and makes him bigger than Reggie Miller.

And when Kobe is off the ball, Jordan can’t keep the defense. Jordan keeps running with Kobe, how much energy can he keep on the offensive end? Jordan is an iron man, and his physical fitness can’t keep up with the young Kobe.

In the last quarter, Kobe played for ten minutes, the point difference widened to 22 points, Kobe was replaced and rested, clocked out early.

In this game, Kobe played 40 minutes, 13 of 19 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, 36 points, 3 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals. The efficiency was terrifying. O’Neal played 41 minutes and scored 29 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.

The Lakers beat the Bulls 125-107 by 18 points, and the Lakers had six handicap in double figures.

For the Bulls, Jordan played 43 minutes, made 16 of 38 shots, 9 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, 43 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and a game-high 5 turnovers. Other players Barkley 26 points, Pippen 21 points, the rest did not score in double figures.

At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked about Kobe’s predictions for the next game.

Kobe is serious: “It’s too early to talk about the championship. We may not be so lucky in the Bulls’ home court. Never underestimate the heart of a championship. The team where the **** of basketball belongs does not allow you to have a slight slack. “

The reporter asked: “You have greatly reduced the number of shots in this game. What prompted you to change your style of play?”

“Change the style of play? No, no, I just chose the style that is best for the team.”

Everyone in the Bulls interviews said that this is only the second game and they still have a chance to comeback.

The third game was played at the Bulls’ home court. Hurao’s style of play remained unchanged. On the offensive end, Kobe relied on the screen to catch the ball or make a breakthrough, attracting double-teams and then split the ball; on the defensive end, Harper and Rodman shots, double-teaming guards. Jordan.

The Bulls have been suppressed again. Even if Kobe’s three-pointer is not as sharp as the previous two games, the Bulls still can’t stand it. He can also launch a fast attack to assist teammates or break through points by himself.

O’Neal broke out this time, scoring 41 points and 10 rebounds. Rodman needs to help defend Kobe’s breakthrough at any time. Luke Langley is too slow, basically a flexible fat man.

106 to 97, the Bulls still lost 9 points.

Jordan’s performance outside the three-point line was a mess. He made 2 of 10 three-pointers. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make a breakthrough inside. The mid-range jumper would always encounter double-teams. This is his most embarrassed finals since entering the league. Can’t play at all.

David Stern felt helpless and didn’t want the Bulls to be swept away. In the fourth game, the referee gave the Bulls a lot of free throws~www.mtlnovel.com~ O’Neal even graduated from six offenses in less than two minutes in the last quarter. On the score of 82 to 84, the Bulls lead by two points.

Old Nelson saw that the league did not want the Bulls to be swept away, so he simply raised Kobe to the fifth position and assigned Horry, Van Exel, Eddie Jones, and Fisher. When defending, they all shrank inside. When attacking, many people gave Kobe three-pointers on the wall, turning the game into a shooting contest between Kobe and the Bulls.

The final score of the game was 109 to 107, and the Lakers won the game in a strange way. In fact, after seeing O’Neal being sent off, Kobe felt that the game was cool. He simply broke the tank and made several dribbles before half-court shooting. He also dangled from the three-point line. In the final stage of the game, his hands were so hot, and many shots made by feeling from long range were scored.

Jordan originally had a chance for a lore, but it was a pity that in the end the lore three-pointer that was thrown unguarded turned out to be out of the basket.

At the end of the game, O’Neal roared and ran onto the court, directly slamming Kobe on his shoulders and ran around the field. He was so excited that he finally won the championship.

Joan Barry also left tears of excitement and got the championship ring before retiring, which made him very fortunate to have come to the Lakers.

Charles Barkley knelt on the floor and wailed, he almost gave up everything, and finally fell on the finals.

At the end of the game, Jordan glanced at Kobe, who was holding his fists high, and silently walked into the player’s channel. With only one championship away, he could establish a second dynasty and become the first man in league history. Unfortunately, he met. Kobe, met Kobe Bryant who was reborn!
