Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 14: Advanced

   Iverson’s goal was so beautiful that it provoked a lot of cheers from the 76ers at home. Stackhouse was rather dissatisfied, and complained loudly to Iverson: "You should pass this ball. Didn't you see that I was already open?"

   Iverson’s eyes were like staring at an enemy, and he pointed to Stackhouse and shouted: "Shut up, you coward, what else do you do besides reading data?"

   Stackhouse looked at the hostile Iverson and didn't dare to say anything, turned and ran back to the Lakers halftime.

   Iverson knew very well that he could not beat the OK combination alone. Kobe's strength alone surpassed every point guard he encountered in the previous games. It is no wonder that people would call them the "enemy of life." But today he will try, even if he fails, he will not regret it, and tomorrow he will go to the management to make a statement, Stackhouse and him simply can't coexist.

The game continued, Kobe took possession of the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Eddie Jones, who was shielding the running position without the ball. Coleman changed defense to keep the distance and defended against the shot. Kobe suddenly broke into the inside from behind, and Eddie Jones passed the ball smoothly. The pass was passed to Kobe, Kobe took the ball and jumped, Clarence stepped forward to block, Kobe passed the ball out of the back of his head in midair, and O'Neal, who had already rushed up, received the ball and dunked it directly. Ground.

Iverson dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and again used the change of footsteps to throw off Kobe. Although O'Neal was waiting at the basket, he did not choose to give the ball to the open Stackhouse this time, but directly Jumped up a drawbar to layup and threw the ball into the basket, and he also caused a foul by O'Neal and successfully scored 2+1.

   Iverson got up from the ground and yelled to the sky while pulling his jersey, and everyone in the audience cheered and screamed.

   Iverson also made a free throw, the score became 23:10, the 76ers still trailed by double digits.

   O'Neal picked up the ball and passed it to Kobe, Kobe steadily led the half-time, played a pick-and-roll with Campbell in the middle, and broke through with the ball on the left.

   Coleman knew that Kobe was fast and he changed defense to keep up, but after all, he was a little slower and couldn't push Kobe directly beyond the three-point line. Kobe brought it to fifty degrees and observed Iverson chasing from the corner of his eye. He took a step towards Coleman and pulled the ball up. He found a double hand and threw the ball to the center.

   Eddie Jones received the ball open and made an easy shot from a little behind the free throw line.

   25:10, Kobe added another assist.

   Magic Johnson discussed: "This pass is really beautiful. Kobe attracted a misplaced defense and the pass broke the double team."

   Moses Malone said: "Iverson's performance in the two rounds just now shows that he did not live up to the number one pick. He is fast and has an elegant style. None of the Lakers team can defend him one-on-one."

   The two were talking, Iverson once again changed direction and broke through Kobe's defense, broke into the inside and jumped up the lever, the ball scratched into the net, and O'Neal again fouled. Harris had no choice but to replace the two offenders O'Neal.

   Iverson steadily took the ball in and scored 25:13.

The Lakers attacked, and the ball was dropped by Kobe to Sean Lukes who had just played. Perhaps it was not a sufficient warm-up relationship. Lukes dribbled the ball to the foot. Iverson took the opportunity to steal and quickly dribbled the ball through half the court. Eddie Jones escaped the interception and slammed the ball into the basket. 25:15.

   Kobe grabbed the corner of his clothes with a solemn expression. He knew that this game could not go on like this. The 76ers had already started and he had to keep this momentum down.

   Kobe dribbled to the top of the arc of the three-point line, his body pressed very low.

   It may be that I was afraid that Iverson would lose the limelight. This time Stackhouse took the initiative to stand in front of Kobe.

   "Boy, I am not that short. It is impossible for me to let you pass by me!"

   Seeing that Kobe is getting closer and closer to him, and Iverson is also encircling Kobe at this time, the 76ers small forward is very confident.

Just when Stackhouse was already thinking about how to use Iverson’s defense and directly cut off the basketball in Kobe’s hand, Kobe, who rushed towards him, faced him and Iverson were about to form. The Lakers point guard suddenly became shorter. Kobe, who was dribbling the ball quickly, directly touched the basketball with his fingertips when Stackhouse and Iverson greeted him. With a light shot, the basketball slipped under Stackhouse's crotch!

"how is this possible?"

When Kobe was slightly shorter and used his fingers to dribble through Stackhouse, the face of the originally extremely confident 76ers suddenly changed, and when he was recovering and preparing for a foul Kobe didn’t give him and Iverson any chance at all. He turned his back and broke through in front of him, and then he was short again. The fingers of his left hand lightly patted the basketball. He was about to roll on the ground. Basketball actually jumped up from the ground like a spring, and when this scene was seen by all the fans in the stadium through the big screen on the scene, the crazy 76ers fans were already stunned, and even some fans’ faces were already exposed. Looks like mesmerizing!

   That kind of fingertip control over basketball, that kind of rhythm of dribbling, fans who know a little about the NBA know what this skill is!

   "Fingertip dribble? This is fingertip dribble!" Moses Malone has stood up.

   "How could this kid do this? Who gave it to him?" The magician also opened his mouth wide.

When Kobe passed Stackhouse and Iverson and directly completed a heavy cut, in Chicago, the old gangster Jordan who had just finished the game had stood up from his seat, and the Zen master at this time But I was dumbfounded watching the TV replay.

   Jordan was gradually sublimated into the **** of basketball after being killed by the Pistons led by Isaiah Thomas. Although Jordan successfully passed the Bad Boys Corps later, he still couldn't forget the rhythm and attitude of the dribble, but he never thought that this kind of dribble would appear in the NBA again, and it would appear directly in the NBA that he hates most. Of the players.

   "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

  O'Neal on the sidelines was also taken aback by this action. Although the Smiling Assassin was about to retire when O'Neal entered the league, only the Pistons led by the Smiling Assassin were the only ones who could mess up Joe Great.

   After Kobe got off the rim, he yelled at the sky directly in the face of the silent scene. The originally silent Wachovia Center boiled again, and the fans all got up and gave Kobe a violent applause.

   "This bastard!"

   Stackhouse, who was humiliated by Kobe, can only complain like a grudge.

   Iverson shook his head with a wry smile, but the warrior's heart was already ablaze.

   "Kobe, my good brother! Let's have a fun match!"

   76ers offensive, Iverson directly singled out Kobe twice to quickly change direction to get rid of, then forcibly squeezed Jones into the basket, tossing and hitting the board.

   The defense of both teams has improved by a notch. Stackhouse has also begun to actively participate in the 76ers' defense, he wants to wash away the humiliation just now.

The Lakers attacked, Bryant broke through and was double-teamed by Stackhouse and Iverson, and scored the ball to Eddie Jones. Jones missed an open mid-range shot. Iverson grabbed a backcourt rebound and took advantage of the fast break. Stark House also got off in the middle.

   Kobe quickly caught up with Iverson, Iverson saw the opportunity to pass the ball.

   Stackhouse received the ball near the free throw line and made a three-step dunk.

   27:19, the 76ers have chased the score to single digits, at this time the whistle at the end of the first quarter also sounded.

   Moses Malone said: "This is really an unexpected game. The 1996 rookie was called the golden generation by the media. It seems that it is not a boast."

  The magician said with emotion: "Iverson and Kobe are really close rivals, and they will meet Liangcai. Maybe they will become the assassins and trapeze of the new era."

   After the start of the second quarter, O'Neal played again.

   76ers offensive, Iverson singled out Kobe with the ball from the outside, and when no one was doubled, he changed to a sudden stop and made a shot under interference.

   Iverson has no choice but to cast his hot hands. Kobe has nothing to do, because you can't lock a person's hot hand.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe played a pick-and-roll in the middle and then passed to O'Neal on the left. O'Neal turned around to take a step on the ball and took a small step to the right with the ball in his left hand. Then he changed to the left and jumped to the bottom line. The shot started and went wide under the interference of Scott desperately.

Although the ball did not score, O'Neal attracted two defenses in the low post. Eddie Jones grabbed the offensive rebound from the midfield. The second attack was missed by Stackhouse interference. Coleman grabbed the backcourt rebound. The 76ers struggled to defend the next round.

   76ers offense, Iverson broke through Kobe and gave Stackhouse the ball, Stackhouse broke through and turned to shoot, hitting a mid-range shot under Jones interference. 27:23, the score is only four points away.

   Kobe immediately returned the color, not a strong hit, but an assist.

He played with Scott in the middle of the pick-and-roll and jumped to the left. Jones slipped to the bottom line and ran to the left corner with O'Neal without the ball. Kobe saw the opportunity to pass to Jones, who aimed for a three-pointer from the corner and made a shot. !

   30:23, this is already Kobe's fifth assist.

   The 76ers attacked, Iverson ran from the left and received a three-pointer from Stackhouse. He ran out of the screen by the screen. Kobe didn't have time to jump and interfere, and the ball went into the net.

   Next, the Lakers and 76ers began a tug of war.

   Both teams played very positively, and the score was always stalemate. At the end of the second quarter, the score was 45:41. The Lakers led the 76ers by only four points.

   "Boy, don't be too arrogant, it's better for young people to be honest!" Stackhouse rushed towards Kobe with a grim expression.

   At the beginning of the third quarter, the 76ers changed their defensive strategy and used Stackhouse to defend Kobe alone. Iverson was always ready to steal Kobe's pass.

"Excellent overall defense. The 76ers used the overall defense to keep Kobe's passing line. Kobe has a long time holding the ball. Time is running out!" Moses Malone nodded with satisfaction when he saw the 76ers' state. .

After Kobe took two steps behind the three-point line, Stackhouse had already expanded directly. At this time, the entire 76ers' defense also expanded by two steps. Although Iverson did not pinch Kobe, Kobe As long as he dares to break through, then he will not hesitate to go up and grab the basketball with his speed!

   "Boy, how about it, I said. You can't continue to be mad in this game!"

   Facing the somewhat crazy Stackhouse, Kobe's face didn't change much at this time, just frowned.

Kobe's fingertip dribbling is indeed quite proficient, but he is not a real Isaiah Thomas after all. Isaiah Thomas can dribble against the ground, but Kobe may not be able to do it. After all, Kobe's height has exceeded two. Meter.

When the fingertips of Kobe's dribble right hand almost reached the position of Kobe's knee down, Stackhouse, who was obsessed with Kobe, forcibly bypassed Kobe's side and prepared to initiate a steal against Kobe's low fingertip dribble. , And Iverson also watched.

   "Not good!" Iverson exclaimed.

Stackhouse walked around behind Kobe with great confidence, and dribbled the ball to Kobe, who was knee-down. The moment he grabbed on Stackhouse, he dribbled the ball low enough. Suddenly lowered again, the basketball passed through the bottom of Stackhouse's hand as if it had disappeared from his big hand, and the empty Stackhouse rushed forward under the influence of inertia. Looking back with a horrified face, Kobe, who was dribbling down his knees just now, was already completely against the ground.

   is really almost the palm of the hand is completely attached to the ground!

When Stackhouse was extremely horrified and ready to force his body to turn around, Kobe, who was originally protecting the ball in a very low posture, suddenly touched the basketball that was almost on the ground with his finger gently, and the whole basketball flew all at once. Going into the air, when Iverson rushed over, Kobe had got up to the bottom corner and shot a three-pointer. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and plunged into the basket.

Kobe’s protection and control of the ball just now are really shocking. The control of the basketball between his fingers, the superb arm span and the terrifying physical confrontation ability, in the eyes of many fans, even Isaiah Thomas His fingertips dribble are more agile, but if you really say the effect of protecting the ball, I am afraid Kobe is even more frightening!

   Iverson sighed slightly. He thought Kobe, just like himself, broke through a layer of shackles in this game and his basketball ability was further improved.

   Stackhouse looked at Kobe and suddenly felt a sense of confusion. At the same time, there was a fear in his heart. He had begun to lose confidence in himself.

   In the next few rounds, although Stackhouse was still desperately defending Kobe, but several outside shots were shot, the 76ers' offense can only be supported by Iverson.

   At the end of the third quarter, the score was 75:60. Not only did the 76ers fail to catch up with the score, but the Lakers pushed the score to double digits again.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Lakers' core players were all off the court. Harris put on a full bench led by Van Exel. Iverson saw that he was incapable of recovery, and shook his head helplessly. He applied for the end and returned. Bench. Iverson was very depressed. He felt that his performance in this game was better than that of Kobe, but his teammates were too pitted. Stackhouse had only risen for one quarter and was beaten by Kobe. Iverson actually wants to understand that Kobe's fingertip dribble can't be used as a conventional weapon because it consumes energy and energy. But Iverson really admired himself as a rookie in the same class, and he even mastered such difficult moves.

   The final score of the game was fixed at 112 to 88, and the Lakers won by 24 points.

   Kobe played 34 minutes, 7 of 13 shots, 5 of 9 3-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 25 points, 4 rebounds, 16 assists and 2 steals. Iverson played 38 minutes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com made 16 of 29 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, 45 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.

   O'Neal played only 30 minutes, scoring 31 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

At the press conference after the game, the 76ers players and coaches were cold-faced throughout the whole process. They were perfunctory to face any problems. Although Iverson got a new season high score, he was not happy at all and was thinking about it. How to trade Stackhouse with 76ers' management request.

   The Lakers coach and players were interviewed. Everyone was very happy and thanked each other a lot.

   The reporter asked Kobe: "How do you feel now?"

   "I feel Iverson is too fierce, my god, he is simply the answer that can't be faulty on the basketball court!"

   Kobe told the nickname that the future belongs to Iverson, he hopes Iverson can continue to improve, after all, invincibility is very lonely.

   The reporter asked: "Did your fingertip dribble learn from Isiah Thomas?"

   "No, I haven't seen Mr. Thomas himself until now, including my backward jumper and other movements, all I learned from watching the video, my imitating ability is still good." Kobe smiled.

   The reporter asked: "You and O'Neal, who are the Lakers' players now?"

   Kobe said with a smile: "The boss of the Lakers will always belong to O'Neal. He is the emperor of basketball in the new era, and I am just a first-year rookie. The road ahead is still very long."

   The reporters applauded Kobe's speech one after another, very united and selfless.

   O'Neal was applauding for Kobe. He felt that Kobe was really his confidant. He felt that the previous Magic teammates were all idiots. It is unforgivable to use such a handsome successor as Russell.
