My Name is Kobe Bryant

Lakers 76:71 Bulls.

The fourth quarter officially started, Del Harris and Phil Jackson replaced all starters at the same time!

It's just that Luke Langley has been fouled 6 times and was dismissed. He was replaced by "Chief" Robert Parish.

The veteran has scored 11 points and 4 rebounds in 11 minutes of playing time, of which 9 points were scored against Tyrese Knight, and the efficiency is very high.

O'Neal was forced to stay on the court. He only rested for 3 minutes at the beginning of the second quarter. He played 33 minutes and scored 37 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. There is no doubt that he is the reason why the Lakers lead.

However, his efficiency began to decline from the second half of the third quarter. In the first half, his shooting percentage was close to 80%, but at the beginning of the third quarter, his shooting percentage was only about 60%.

O'Neal's movements began to be slow, his footsteps began to falter, and his scoring efficiency gradually declined, and the Bulls also began to erode the Lakers' lead.

Kobe knew it was time to step up, even if he was guarding him in the prime of his life, Michael Jordan.

Then why be afraid!

The referee blew the whistle to start the last quarter.

The Lakers have the ball, from now on, every ball, every round is very critical!

Bryant came to the top of the key with the ball, and he rarely challenged Michael's defense in the second and third quarters.

And now it's coming!

Horry, who crossed the ball up, held the ball at the top of the arc for a three-pointer.

Kobe made an air cut to the basket and used O'Neal to pick and roll the outside bomb.

Mid-range catch! Jordan followed closely!

"Nice movement off the ball, but useless!"

"Really?" Kobe didn't expect to be able to create openings without the ball.

Kobe turned his back on the frame, leaned against Jordan, was squeezed back by his strength, took advantage of the momentum to step back, and shot a jumper!

Hollow into the net!

78:71.

Jordan couldn't believe it, how could this lean-back and back-up technique be exactly the same as his own?

And Kobe was able to use his strength to retreat after being confronted, which Jordan did not expect.

interesting.

"Kobe, do you know? I don't know how to carry the basket." Jordan took the basketball directly from Pippen who made a free throw from the sideline, and dribbled it to the frontcourt by himself.

Bulls players spread out, they know the triangle offense is over, now it's Jordan's show!

At this moment, the Bulls are no longer Phil Jackson's team.

It's Michael Jordan's one-man team!

Chewing bubble gum in his mouth, Jordan dribbled the ball in the face of Kobe. In order to integrate into the tactics, he can give up the opportunity to attack with the ball, but when the tactics are ineffective, he will start the singles killing god mode.

Kobe felt the pressure coming to his face, which was not experienced by the defensive back Jordan.

Even at the age of 33, Jordan's speed burst is the top, and what is even more terrifying is his control of the rhythm.

Break through! Not a lot of speed, and Jordan breaks to the right.

Kobe sidesteps and blocks!

Jordan's ball protector resisted Kobe, and directly ignored Kobe's defense with strength and continued to break through!

Press to the free throw line area, stop the ball after dribbling under the crotch, and hit the mid-range jumper steadily.

Kobe was suppressed by Jordan's power! When Jordan stopped the ball, in a secret action, the ball protector pushed Kobe, so that Kobe, who was a little out of control, lost his defensive position.

Relaxed, freehand, confident. Jordan's offense is always so beautiful.

Kobe's secret channel is bad. For Kobe, Jordan's offense with the ball is much more lethal than without the ball.

Running without the ball can rely on the understanding of tactics to destroy the ball in advance, and can rely on the judgment of back-up skills to interfere as much as possible.

But Jordan, who faces the frame, is a perfect combination of speed and strength. Kobe's current physical fitness can't limit him at all!

But that can only be defended bravely. At this point in the game, there is no room for adjustment at all!

As long as you score more points than Jordan, you can win!

Bryant held this belief and advanced to the Bulls half.

Eddie Jones and Kobe handed each other, and with the help of Horry's defense, Kobe struggled at the top of the arc on the right, throwing Jordan a position away!

Too late to adjust! Before Jordan pounced, Kobe made a three-pointer!

"Duang!" The basketball strikes the iron.

"My rebound!" O'Neal beat Parish, got the rebound, and passed back to Kobe.

Kobe's eyes lit up! Rodman was dragged to the perimeter by Horry! The Bulls have loopholes in rebounding and inside defense!

Pass the ball to Horry again and make an empty cut to the basket!

Horry's touchdown pass evaded Rodman's steal and went straight to Bryant's hands, while Jordan followed suit.

Catch the ball without stopping! Kobe Eurostep!

Left!

right!

Left! Get rid of Jordan! Take off and put the ball in the hoop!

"That's a good move." Jordan's eyes lit up. Kobe's offensive choices and changes were great. Even himself, who had seen this snake-like layup for the first time, was stumped.

80:73.

The offensive and defensive transition, Jordan crushed Kobe again, one-stop to the basket, and under O'Neal's supplementary defense, he scored the ball steadily.

Kobe and Horry pick and roll high, and the Bulls switch defenses! Rodman appeared in front of Kobe.

"Boy, feel the pain." Rodman with colorful hair stuck out his tongue.

"Ouch." Seriously, Kobe was disgusted.

But there is a chance of internal and external misalignment, so we must fight resolutely at this time!

Hesitation step! Breakthrough on the right! Rodman's footsteps are very fast, but Kobe's speed change is faster!

Dribble behind your back and pull! Rodman rushed forward, Kobe still leaned back slightly, and made a three-pointer!

Kobe tried his best to increase the arc of his shot to avoid Rodman's block. There is no doubt that this is a successful defense, but Kobe is not a player who can be limited by a successful defense!

The basketball presents an exaggerated parabola, falling straight into the basket!

"Shua!"

Kobe made 4 of 5 three-pointers!

Come, feel come, Kobe's hands are hot.

Whenever Kobe felt that way, he hit the next string of shots.

"OMG, the Bulls' front four, Jordan, Pippen, Harper, and Rodman were singled out by Kobe in turn!"

"It seems that only Jordan can limit Kobe! Another hit! Kobe and Eddie Jones cooperated hand in hand, and hit the difficult mid-range shot again in front of Pippen!"

"Superstar! There is no doubt! Kobe and O'Neal Jordan, both played the same level of performance in this game!"

"Michael fought back. He made all seven shots in the fourth quarter! Scored 14 points!"

"The Lakers don't double-team! The Bulls also don't double-team! This game has become a duel between Jordan and Kobe!"

"O'Neal's rebounds have greatly helped the Lakers. Kobe has more shots than Jordan!"

Los Angeles Lakers 93:91 Chicago Bulls.

1 minute left in the game!

Jordan sat firmly on Mount Tai, and once again pushed Kobe to the basket!

"Don't think you won!" Bowen burst out suddenly! This is a move outside of Harris' tactical instructions!

Jordan received the ball, escaped Bowen's press, turned over and shot a jumper!

"Come down!" Kobe found his chance! Although Bowen's press was unsuccessful, Jordan's shot was forced to be hasty.

Take off is not enough! Bounce height and recoil range are limited!

But this is Jordan, and he is about to be taken out! Jordan's waist and abdomen tightened, and he made a second effort in the air, retracted the ball, and then threw it again!

"Shua!"

tie!
