My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 168 The game begins!

Bryant kicked his feet in the locker room, and Garivetti's bandages were tight enough to make his feet feel great.

"Boss, do you think we can win today?" Fisher was a little uneasy. The experience of losing to the Trail Blazers in the last game made him feel uneasy.

"Xiaoyu, what are you talking about? It's impossible to lose today's game!" Nick Van Exel spoke up. As the backup guard who partnered with Fisher, Fan Crazy also started to catch up with Kobe and his group.

"Don't underestimate your opponent, Nick." O'Neal looked cautious. He was named by Harris before the game. In this game, he had to blow up the opponent on the offensive end and defend Sabonis' long-range shots. The task was very heavy. He knew Sabonis was not an easy player to deal with.

Kobe looked at O'Neal, who was being treated cautiously, and let out a sigh of relief. If the fat man still winds up water skiing like the last game, it will be really difficult to win this game.

As long as O'Neal can output stably inside, Kobe believes that this game will be won.

"Guys! It's time to play! The fans of the Great Western Forum are waiting for us!" Kurt Rambis's thick voice came from the door of the locker room.

That's right! Time to win this game!

Jordan's Law? Do you really think I can't break it?

"WHAT'S TIME?" O'Neill stood in the middle of the team, and all the players put their hands on their shoulders, forming a circle.

"IT'S GAME NOW!"

"WHAT'S TIME?" O'Neal continued to yell, putting his hands to his ears as if he couldn't hear the shouts of the Lakers players!

"IT'S GAME NOW!" Every player was yelling with all his might, and Kobe knew that the momentum of the Lakers team had come out.

This may be the game where the Lakers shouted the most vigorous slogans this season.

Kobe Bryant misses the slogan of ONE TWO THREE, CHAPION.

It's decided, let them shout this if they reach the finals!

"Get in! Guys! Kill the Blazers!"

After the players from both sides have entered the field, they are waiting for the start of the game near the center line.

"Kobe, there is only one winner in today's game, and that is me!" Isiah Ryder was full of confidence, and the analysis of head coach P.J. Carlesimo made him believe that winning this game could not be easier.

Kobe threw up. I don't know when the process of making harsh words before the game will end. He really doesn't want to talk to Isiah Ryder.

If players like Payton and Stockton speak harshly, Kobe may still be interested in talking back.

And Isiah Ryder?

He's just a quasi-all-star guard, so what qualifications do he have to speak harshly here?

Bryant looked at Isiah Ryder with disdain, a disdain that made Ryder more angry than the spat.

Wait! I'll see you later!

The two were thinking in unison in their hearts.

"Wait, how could it be, how could they start with Robert Horry!" P-J-Carlesimo saw the list of players on the big screen, and his heart trembled.

It shouldn't be! This is not what I planned!

Even if Campbell's performance is bad, he often starts this season. Why is Horry replaced in this game?

P-J Carlesimo shuddered at the sight of Del Harris smiling on the sidelines.

As cunning as a fox, no wonder it has the nickname of Silver Fox.

It really is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname!

The way Harris smiled made P-J-Carlesimo feel like he was hiding a knife in his smile.

old fox!

Don't panic! It's just a change in the fourth position, let's see how you use it to make a comeback. P-J-Carlesimo collected himself, he knew that the most important thing at this time was not to mess up, so he quickly called Rasheed Wallace to give instructions.

"When Horry plays, then you are the main attack point, use your height to force him, understand?"

"Understood the coach." The second-year Roaring Tianzun already has a very good shot, averaging 15 points per game with a 55.8% shooting rate, but in post-up singles, Rashid can only catch the ball with one hand Back turn ace jumper.

In such a tense atmosphere, the game finally kicked off.

Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup: PG Kobe Bryant, SG Eddie Jones, SF Bruce Bowen, PF Robert Horry, C Shaq O'Neal.

Portland Trail Blazers starting lineup: PG Isiah Leder, SG Gary Trent, SF Clifford Robinson, PF Rasheed Wallace, C Arvedas Sabonis.

The Blazers also made a small adjustment, allowing Isiah Ryder, a player who is closer to Kobe in size, to serve as PG against Kobe. The 1.83-meter Kenny Anderson was replaced, and the No. 11 pick in 1995 was added, the 2.03-meter Gary Trent.

The height of the Blazers lineup is 1.96 meters, 2.03 meters, 2.06 meters, 2.11 meters, 2.24 meters. A terrifyingly tall lineup with an average height of 2.08 meters per game!

This lineup is designed to double-team the stars and lock the inside line!

On the offensive end, the organization of the small point guard was abandoned, and Sabonis was used as the core of the first offense.

Del Harris has some admiration for P-J-Carlesimo's ability to match such a top defensive lineup. I believe that any outside star in the league, even Jordan, may be deflated in this lineup!

For the jump ball, although Sabonis is taller than O'Neal, the 32-year-old Sabonis has all his feet injured, and his take-off height may only be as high as a matchbox.

O'Neal easily won the jump ball, and Eddie Jones picked up the ball that O'Neal pointed over and handed it to Kobe.

folder!

Just after halftime, Isiah Ryder and Gary Trent rushed towards Kobe!

This is no ordinary double team! Both defensive players have very good physical fitness and defensive ability! Their double teams are very decisive and lethal! Ordinary players don't talk about protecting the ball, even passing the ball may be intercepted by two tall forwards and guards!

Sure enough, as Kobe expected, the Blazers continued to choose to use Jordan's law to double-team in advance!

Kobe seemed to be petrified, standing in the middle circle, waiting for the double-teaming of the two to complete.

Seeing this scene, Isiah Ryder is even more excited!

You boy wait to steal the ball!

No, why is Kobe's lips curled up, he's smiling!

The reason Kobe waited there was to wait for the double-teamer to completely miss his position, while watching for holes in the defense.

Eddie Jones' defender Gary Trent steps up to double-team, so is he open?

No! How can there be such a simple double team!

Clifford Robinson rotated to Eddie Jones from the first moment of Gary Trent's attack, waiting to intercept Kobe's pass!

If it's just a starting-level point guard, then he will definitely be stopped or even intercepted at this time!

If it is an All-Star point guard, he may be able to pass the ball and let Eddie Jones receive it, but there is no way to penetrate and sell it.

What about Kobe? It was as if there was a heavenly eye in his mind! All the tactical rotations of the Blazers defensive players on the court can be seen clearly!
