Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 15: Rivals

After the victory over the 76ers, the Lakers came to the away game to challenge the Celtics. Not to mention the grievances between the two teams, the recent duel between New Bird and New Jordan, which has been hotly fired recently, has already made many people look forward to it. Up.

   This game was broadcast live on TNT throughout the United States, and the TV station also brought in former rivals Jabbar and Larry Bird to explain.

   To tell the truth, Larry Bird is very indifferent to the current Celtic management. Since the retiring of the cardinal, this former traditional giant has been completely reduced to a fish belly.

"In this game, the Lakers are obviously dominant. Although it is an away game, because of the arrival of the new Emperor O'Neal and the sudden emergence of Kobe, the Lakers suddenly had two superstars inside and outside. And we saw the magic in the last game. In the scene, Kobe would actually smile at the assassin’s unique dribbling skills, and I also asked Thomas specifically, he clearly told me Kobe had never met him, and he was also extremely surprised by Kobe’s basketball talent, thinking that Kobe’s current strength is already Not worse than Jordan."

   Jabbar proudly boasted on the sidelines, which made Big Bird very uneasy.

   "Although the strength of the Lakers on the court is dominant, we should not ignore it. Basketball is round after all, and Anthony Walker is also a very promising player."

   Big Bird Larry Bird began to counter-attack Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but it was clear that Bird's tone was not firm.

   When the two were arguing, the players had already begun to enter the field. After introducing the players from both sides, the game officially started.

   Away Lakers five-man Kobe, O'Neal, Eddie Jones, Van Exel, Eldon Campbell.

   There are five home team Celtics, Anthony Walker, Eric Williams, Dino Radia, Rick Fox, Dana Barros.

   O'Neal unexpectedly lost to Dino Radia during the scramble, and Kobe immediately ran back and blocked the fat head Anthony Walker.

Walker is a player who is not well positioned. Say that he is a power forward. He always likes to go outside, especially for three-pointers, and he is very inaccurate. You must know that the league has not been reformed at this time. The three-point line is similar to the distance set by the FIBA. The NBA will modify the rules next year and the three-point line will further increase the distance. You have to say Walker is a small forward. He is not active in running, not active in assists, and even less active in defense. He is a famous defensive star in the league. To put it plainly, he is a data brush.

   Kobe is about the same height as Anthony Walker at this time, but Anthony Walker is a lap stronger than Kobe. When Walker saw Kobe take the initiative to defend himself, he immediately leaned against Kobe with his big butt, and turned around outside the three-point line. Kobe stepped forward to block, Walker raised his hand and made a three-pointer, and the ball went upside down in the basket. After two clicks, he rolled into the net.

   Kobe dribbled the ball through halftime and Van Exel blocked Dana Barros. Kobe had already observed Walker's position and chose to break through from the left.

   Walker changed defense a little bit slower, Kobe rushed over as soon as he accelerated, and went directly to the basket with the ball. Eric Williams followed Eddie Jones without defending, and Kobe made an easy layup. 2:3.

   This offense easily made Kobe feel unbelievable. The Celtics have always been known for their defensive toughness, but today they are all missing.

   The Celtics attacked, Walker and Dana Barros pulled out together. Compared with Kobe, there is nothing commendable about Walker's low post offense. His original past life is known as the little Malone. Although this nickname does not happen, Kobe has also practiced wrong direction, but you can't help but say Kobe's ability to play at the basket. Not good.

  Dana Barros broke through Van Exel and then scored the ball to the center. Rick Fox followed Jones, Campbell followed to defend against Eric Williams, Bryant met Walker in the high post and interfered in front. Kobe didn't have personal defenses, it didn't help. The opponent's physique could resist him at once. Don't look at Walker's slow pace, his physical fitness was great, but he was willing to be lazy and easily injured.

   Walker turned around without dribbling the ball, and flickered to face Kobe and directly drew a jumper. 2:5.

   The Lakers attacked, O'Neal pulled to the outside screen, this time Walker changed defense, Kobe took the ball and walked to the left to bypass Dino-Ladia, Van Exelnete. Walker immediately retreated to block Eddie Jones. As soon as he withdrew, Kobe shot a jumper. The two seemed to have negotiated. Rick Fox caught up from the side and was too late to block.

   Kobe calculated the opponent's psychology. He shot the ball comfortably, with perfect rhythm and hollow into the net. 4:5.

   Commentator Bird complained: "Kobe scored two more points. How did you defend this ball? The Celtics opened the game and exposed the problem of pick-and-roll prevention, and they were beaten into two by the Lakers."

   Kareem Abdul-Jabbar smiled and said: "The Lakers' change today was very successful. Kobe used Kobe to play the third position, and Kobe was also more aggressive."

   Dana Barros dribbled the ball through halftime and Van Exel defended close. He started the game today and was very excited.

   Dana Barros is a traditional point guard who faithfully executes his tactical intent and will not play indiscriminately. With this shot, Rick Fox came out to cover and Eddie Jones changed defense. Rick Fox lobbed a high ball to Walker, UU reading www.uukanshu.com turned out that as soon as he took the ball, Kobe jumped up with all his strength and directly shot the ball to the frontcourt.

   Kobe expected Rick Fox to pass in the middle. He also knew that Walker had a habit of catching the ball. This can make a quicker shot without having to spend effort to fight back and sit inside.

   Walker has a height advantage. It is generally no problem to face the ball, but Kobe is now the same height as him. Kobe took off with all his strength, and a hot pot slapped the ball out in front. Walker turned around when he landed. Kobe had picked up the basketball and jumped out, leaving Walker behind, leaning on the chasing Eric Williams, fast break The layup succeeded. 6:5.

   Larry Bird shook his head and said: "These two **** the Celtics played too simple, there was almost no cooperation, and the defense could not keep up."

  Johnson smiled and said: "O'Neal hasn't exerted his power yet, so it's easy to waste time for the game to continue."

   It was the Lakers' turn to defend. Eddie Jones was turned around by Rick Fox. O'Neal was blocked by Dino Radia at the basket and watched Rick Fox hit a right jumper. 6:7.

   In the next round, Eddie Jones faced Eric Williams in the low post and stretched out for the ball. He hasn't touched the ball in the past few rounds.

   Kobe passed to O'Neal, who slid to Jones singles in the post. After receiving the ball, Jones arched twice inside and turned to the center.

   Anthony Walker stepped forward to double-team, Jones took the opportunity to pass the ball to Kobe, Kobe quickly threw the ball to the upper edge of the basket, O'Neal soared into the sky, and slammed the ball into the basket. 8:7.

   Harris applauded loudly from the sidelines, the ball passed so beautifully, there was almost no pause. There was a huge boo in the audience, the Purple and Gold Corps vs. the Green Lantern Corps, and the Lakers and Celtics have never lacked something to watch.
