Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 12: End of winning streak

   Malone stretched out his hand for the ball while running. Stockton knew he wanted to show the Lakers a bit of color and vent his dissatisfaction with his new sitting. Before Kobe was seated, the ball was handed over to Malone.

   Malone's strength, confrontation, and impact were stronger than those of Corsi, who was in the opposite position, and Corsi was hit by Malone's hidden elbow. While Corsi was out of breath, Malone only took a dribble, pulled the ball and went into the net hollow. His action is very simple. With a little space out, he can shoot the ball. This is how Malone can dominate the basketball world. Years of dependence. To say who in the league can compete with Malone in mid-range shooting, maybe only the old gangster Jordan can be slightly better.

   You came and went, the score was bitter. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 25:22 and the Lakers only led by three points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides were placed on the bench. Perhaps it was the reason for the altitude sickness. Nick Van Exel, who came on the bench for the Lakers, was extremely inefficient. The basket was almost smashed by this madman. Kobe was on the court. Looking at the toothache, this old man is too stubborn, the more he can't make a shot, the more he makes a shot. Halfway through the second quarter, the score was 31:33 and the Lakers were overtaken by two points.

   Kobe and O'Neal re-appeared, the two played a match, after Kobe broke through and threw the ball into the air, O'Neal jumped up the air relay and smashed the ball into the basket.

   Stockton picked up the basketball and quickly led the half-court. Kobe immediately reached the high post and let Stockton take a step, blocking his passing route, preventing a sudden and unexpected shot. Stockton suddenly pulled up to shoot, and the ball went into the rim with a "swipe" sound.

   Kobe dribbled to the three-point line and used a lost step to rush towards the basket. Stockton knew Kobe's movements were too late, so he had to gently stretch out his hand to pull Kobe's jersey and stretch out his right foot.

   Stockton’s occupational disease has committed again.

  The road of life is not smooth, and it is OK and cherished.

   Stockton looked at Kobe's movements when he stretched his feet, there was something weird that couldn't be said, it seemed a bit wrong. What's wrong?

   Before Stockton could react, there was a tingling pain in his knee.

   Kobe lost his weight, sat down on the ground, hugged his knees and screamed, it hurts. Stockton also fell to the ground, covering his right knee and his face changed.

   Someone in the audience saw that something was wrong, and there was a burst of boos.

   "He did it on purpose." O'Neal was the first to be anxious and shouted to the referee.

   After O'Neal rushed forward, he wanted to beat Stockton. He was so familiar with this scene. During the Magic, his teammate Thomas was injured by Stockton in the knee.

   Malone hurriedly stopped O'Neal, and the referee hurriedly blew his whistle to terminate the game, and blocked the Lakers and Jazz players to avoid conflict.

   The referee gestured for the team doctors of both sides to come on the court to see if there were any problems with the players.

   Before the Lakers team doctor came over, Kobe got up by himself and jumped to the sidelines with one leg staggered.

   Stockton was also helped by the Jazz doctor to the sidelines, his expression was very painful.

   "Derek, help me get the backpack." Bryant shouted.

   Xiaoyu Fisher hurriedly handed him Kobe’s backpack, Kobe opened the backpack, took out two iron bottles, opened the bottle cap and started spraying on his knees.

A replay of the shot was given on the court. When Kobe broke through, Stockton's right leg wanted to miss Kobe's left leg. Unexpectedly, Kobe reacted very quickly. Kobe's left knee directly collided with Stockton's right knee. Come together.

   The Jazz doctor asked Stockton to stretch his right leg twice and initially determined that the bones were all right, but the muscles were severely strained. This game cannot be played.

Kobe's situation is similar, but the situation is much lighter than Stockton, but the muscle is slightly strained. Originally, Kobe wanted to continue playing, but was rejected by Harris. It was just a regular season. Harris couldn't take Kobe. Joking about his career prospects.

   Kobe can only be replaced by Fisher.

   Jazz substitute player Jameel Watson helped Stockton back to the locker room. Sloan was very dissatisfied with this, standing on the sidelines yelled, Karl Malone also asked the referee to reason, saying that Kobe deliberately injured people, the referee ignored them.

   Seeing the replay of the camera, the audience was silent. Link didn't know what to say. After a while, he said dryly: "Fortunately, Kobe doesn't seem to be seriously injured, Stockton seems to be seriously injured."

   Bill said disdainfully: "Stockton has a lot of small defensive moves. The defense is recognized as dirty, and he will have to pay it back sooner or later. He didn't expect Kobe's knee to be harder than his."

After watching the slow motion, the referee didn’t know how to make the penalty. He thought about it, instead of calling Kobe and Stockton fouls, he blew a T each for Malone and O’Neal. The Lakers and Jazz each got a technical foul. For free throw opportunities, the Lakers have the ball.

   The Lakers were in a bad state today. Kobe will play again and the game will not be good. Harris could only replace Van Exel to step up his offense, but the situation was not satisfactory.

   Malone and Brian Russell run on the perimeter together, with Hornacek in the middle of the organization. Soon the Lakers were dragged down, and O'Neal alone was a drop in the bucket.

   Although Hornacek has never played point guard, it is Fisher who is facing him, and he is completely crushed by him in terms of height and golf quotient.

   Hornacek made two consecutive three-pointers with the help of Malone's screen.

   Fan lunatic has made two mid-range shots. If O'Neal grabbed two offensive rebounds, the score would have been further expanded.

   At the end of the game, Malone scored a game-high 43 points, as well as 14 rebounds and 3 assists. Apart from O'Neal's 36 points and 12 rebounds, no one on the Lakers scored more than 20.

   75: 101, the Lakers' eleventh straight victory was ended.

   After the game, Jerry Sloan denounced Kobe for being too dark. "John was injured. Kobe was obviously deliberate. He didn't even eat a normal foul. I felt incredible. They said he was the Jordan of the new era, but he had to learn to play cleanly."

   Sloan has always been a bad temper, and all the players in the team have been scolded by him. The coaching style is very strict. But when outside, he protects shortcomings very much. Will stand out for his disciples, especially Stockton is also the leader of the Jazz.

   When talking about Jerry Sloan, praise is definitely indispensable. He is the recognized super coach of the NBA and the coach of Qiansheng. But Kobe has no good feelings about Sloan.

In addition to Sloan clinging to the pick and roll tactics all the way to the black, the rest may only say to the players: "Be more strategic or defensive more fierce", not to say: "We must pay attention to professionalism on the court. "

   Stockton and Malone injured a lot of people, and Sloan never stopped them, and he was proud of winning in this way.

   Where can the character of this old man improve? Obviously a man who is unscrupulous for victory.

   Harris was also a violent temper, and he had a fight with Sloan unceremoniously.

   The reporter asked: "Mr. Jerry said Kobe deliberately injured Stockton. Harris, do you have anything to say?"

Harris retorted unceremoniously: "As everyone knows, Stockton is a very strange player. He often accidentally stretches his legs between the opponent's legs, waiting for the opponent to fall, and his hands often I like to do weird things with the opposing player. I really doubt his sexual orientation."

   The reporter took photos of Harris frantically, which was too provocative.

O'Neal next to him added: "I know that some fans respect John. I think he is not dirty, but hard work, such as a Jazz fan. I am sorry that John is injured, so I want to remind him here. Be careful when playing in the future. You will be allowed to stretch your legs every time. He has to fix this problem and don't stretch it anymore. After all, his legs are not long."

   The reporter asked O'Neill: "Do you think Stockton is dirty playing?"

O'Neal said with a cold face: "I don't know if it's dirty. You can watch the video of his playing. I don't know why. After every game, the opposing player will be bruised and bruised all over. I think everyone is definitely not. Masochism."

   The reporters were all taken aback, and O'Neill’s words were too direct.

   Ke did not attend the press conference after the game, but approached Stockton.

   "John, this is Huaxia's trauma medication. The effect is very good. I just finished spraying the medicine. You see, the swelling has disappeared now."

   Kobe took out two iron bottles and exposed his knees to the Jazz doctor and Stockton for inspection.

   Stockton suspiciously asked Kobe to spray twice on his injured right knee. He immediately felt a chill and relieved the pain a lot.

   Looking at the squares on the bottle, Stockton asked: "This is not made by our American Emperor!"

Bryant handed the two medicine bottles to Stockton and explained: "This is a drug produced by Huaxia, called Baiyao. It is estimated that it will be certified by the U.S. Drug Administration next month. UU read www.uukanshu.com if If you think it’s good, I’ll notify you when the medicine is on sale. For these two bottles, spray the red bottle first, and then spray the white bottle after half an hour."

   After delivering the medicine, Kobe left amidst Stockton’s doubts and gratitude. Kobe didn't want to turn the enemy into a friend with Stockton, but to promote the drug, because this wound medicine was jointly produced by Kobe Bryant and the Qujia of China Dian Province, and Kobe provided the formula, production technology and part of the funds. Kobe didn't remember when the baiyao sprays were produced in the previous life. This time, the baiyao sprays produced by him in conjunction with the Qujia are better than the original ones in the previous life. After all, the formula was taken out of the brain by Kobe.

   When the news came out the next day, there was an uproar across the United States.

   "Bryant shouldn't play basketball anymore. It's too dangerous. His suitable career is to be a singer."

   "John Stockton almost ruined Bryant. He should come out and apologize."

   "Stockton stretched out the guilty right leg first, and Sloan actually said that Kobe fouled maliciously. This is ridiculous."

   "Shameless Stockton, shameless Sir, they will be retributed."

   Sloan read the news, his mouth almost crooked with anger, but his disciple Stockton was very strange and showed a face of shame.

  The league did not make any statement, and it was an accident if it was mentioned.

  President David Stern warned the Jazz privately to stop them from making similar mistakes.

   Among the stars of the league, Jordan, Grant Hill, Thomas, etc. have all passed Stockton’s iron knee.

   Fortunately, it was Stockton who was injured. If it were Kobe, the president would definitely make the Jazz look good.

   Kobe is now no less than Jordan in the eyes of Stern, and he also wants to guide the hype about the dominance of the East and the West this season.
