My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 118 Aftermath

"Actually, I have nothing to say." Phil Jackson still had a confident posture at the press conference.

"The reason for the loss in this game is on my side. I was not prepared for the Lakers' tactics. Harris's elevator tactics and all-around shots are very exciting." Phil's eyes wandered to Del Harris.

old fox!

The term appeared in the minds of the two coaches at the same time.

"Harris knows our tactics very well, and our team's various running positions are well understood. But we are ignorant of the Lakers' tactics. The Lakers' offensive methods and tactical arrangements defeated us."

"The Bulls lost the opportunity at the beginning. Although they overtook for a while, they lost the game in the end, didn't they?"

"In the next game, I will lead my players to respond to the various tactics of the Lakers."

"For the Bulls, losing one game is not the end of the world. It's just a regular season. No one can keep winning in a long season. We even lost ten games last season."

"Shaq's performance is undoubtedly excellent, and Kobe's performance is even more unexpected. Michael's 43 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists are even greater, but we lost."

Phil's speech not only appease the media in Chicago, but also appease the emotions of the players in the team, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. In the end, he praised Kobe and O'Neal's performance and ended the interview.

Phil Jackson knew that the impact of this game was very far-reaching. First of all, the Bulls cannot compete for the number one position in the league in the short term, and secondly, Kobe's lore, whether it has luck or not, will have an impact on the Bulls' players.

He has to go back and think about it, how to deal with the tactics of the Lakers. Now it seems that the opponent of the Bulls in the finals is either the Lakers or Houston!

. . .

In a private casino in Chicago, Jordan is spending money like water with a cigar in his mouth and red wine.

"Michael, that ball is a bad luck ball!" The gambler looked at Jordan who was distracted from time to time, and kindly comforted him.

"I know." Jordan pursed his lips, and it was a good goal to score.

After playing this hand, I will go home and watch the video!

Jordan intends to study the video of the Lakers game carefully. In this game, Kobe's judgment on the running position and offensive selection with Jordan are too accurate!

Jordan was a little puzzled, did an insider in the team leak the tactics?

It's probably that guy Cole, who doesn't look like a good guy at first sight!

"21 o'clock! The banker kills!"

Falk, Michael looked at the few dollars left on the table and secretly thought it was bad luck.

. . .

Won! we won!

The Lakers players continued to celebrate on the team bus. Jordan is a mountain in the hearts of a generation of players. And today, they personally defeated this god-like man!

Shaq O'Neal played 44 minutes, scored 41 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists, the best performance of the season, resisting the first three quarters of the game by himself!

Kobe Bryant played 37 minutes and scored a large double-double with 27 points, 3 rebounds and 13 assists!

But the stats don't matter under his clutch performance in the final quarter.

Offensive and defensive ends against Jordan! Although not dominant, the last ball hit the buzzer and scored a three-pointer against Jordan.

This ball can blow for a year!

Bryant knew that winning this game was a bit of a fluke.

The Bulls' defense made it almost impossible for him to break through! No matter which defensive player, Kobe's strength was strongly suppressed. If there is a confrontation in the breakthrough, you will definitely be hit, which will affect the ball control and subsequent offense.

So Kobe can only use jump shots to solve the problem, which is very difficult for him. Fortunately, Kobe feels very hot in this game! He can make shots when he has a chance, and he has scored a lot of balls without a chance.

In the next game, the Bulls will definitely adjust their tactics. Whether it is Kobe or O'Neal, they will kill one. It is impossible to let the Lakers' double stars shine.

The game between O'Neal and Kobe fully played the flavor of the cooperation between two superstars. The tacit chemical reaction makes each other better.

O'Neal is also very happy. You must know that he defeated Jordan in the first year of Jordan's comeback, but last year he was swept by the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals 4:0!

The average point difference in the four games reached 20 points! It was a massacre, and the magic had no power to resist.

Although O'Neal played a strong performance, the scores in the four games were 27, 36, 17, and 28 respectively. The performance is not inferior to anyone, but the Magic's outside line was exploded!

The three of Jordan Pippen and Harper defeated the Magic on both offense and defense, and even Penny Hardaway was powerless.

revenge! This is the mentality of O'Neill.

Although the picture of being dunked will be published in the newspaper, the poster will become another achievement of Jordan.

But fortunately, Kobe's last shooting screen, in front of Jordan's lore screen, will become the cover of newspapers and magazines!

Today is literally my lucky day!

Los Angeles, Lakers office, Jerry West and Sir Bass are toasting.

"Proud of our team, cheers!"

"cheers!"

"Jerry, let me ask you a question, do you think it is possible to win this year?"

"Of course, of course." West smiled.

A historic center, a historic rookie. Isn't this configuration the same championship configuration as SHOWTIME back then?

There is no doubt that the Bulls, Lakers and Houston are in the same class.

The Bulls are even better, but basketball is round, and it doesn't mean that you can win the championship with strong strength on paper. This is also the greatness of the three-peat dynasty.

West doesn't think that Jordan will win another three consecutive championships, otherwise he will really surpass all players in history and become the number one player in basketball.

It is not difficult to keep the team leading the league in strength for three years, but it is very difficult to win every game that should be won without accident while leading.

Injuries, touch, tactics and other factors are all accidental.

An injury to a key player can mean that a whole season of hard work is wasted.

"The next three road games? I can't wait until they get back to the Great Western Forum."

"Yes, they are the Bucks, Timberwolves, and Suns. The Bucks are currently 13-9, and they still have good strength. Then the third game of this season is against the Timberwolves, and the first two games are crushed. After the Suns changed their coaches, the momentum Yes, Kevin Johnson came back, Kidd came, they gave the team a new energy."

"The No. 5 pick of the Bucks, Ray Allen played well."

"That's right, his style of play is a bit similar to Kobe's. He is also a very talented player, and he has a brilliant three-pointer. It's just that he doesn't have Kobe's defensive and organizational skills."

"Kobe's defense will be famous after this game. Although he didn't strangle Jordan and was blown up in the fourth quarter. But no player in the league can do better than him."

"That's right, even Payton isn't necessarily better than Kobe."

"Cheers to Kobe! Cheers to that great game!"
