My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 288 Meeting Rahim Again

"I made it clear to you! On the court, just be a dumb! Don't try to provoke Kobe! Anyone who provokes him, he will give a devastating blow! He is a narrow-minded bastard! Don't Give him a chance to get revenge on you!" In the Vancouver Grizzlies locker room, this year's No. 2 pick, Sherif Abdul-Rahim, is giving a pre-game speech, but the content of his speech is a bit out of the ordinary.

"COME ON! Sharif! He's just a rookie who played well, he's not a god!" Anthony Peeler was dissatisfied with Raheem's behavior of embarrassing others and destroying his prestige.

"Dude, I suggest you watch the tape of the last game of the Lakers. And the tape of the last time he played against our Grizzlies." Raheem had a look on his face that you want to die. Don't take me. You can see what kind of person Kobe is.

The Grizzlies are currently 11 wins and 45 losses, and they are racing for the No. 1 pick this season. Compared with the Lakers with 46 wins and 6 losses, they are simply not a level opponent. The current Grizzlies team configuration is undoubtedly nonsense to win in front of Kobe, and ending the game decently is what Raheem wants to do.

He was very worried that his teammates would provoke Kobe as soon as they got a headache, and would end up being beaten up like the Cavaliers. This is the Great Western Forum, the home of the Lakers. The Lakers want to please the fans. Once they have the opportunity, they will not stopped.

Fortunately, the last two games of the Lakers are tough battles. Raheem can only rely on the Lakers to preserve his physical fitness. He will not do his best in this game.

"Guys, listen to me, really" Raheem continued his lobbying work, which lasted for nearly an hour.

"MAGIC, why are you here!" The Lakers players were pleasantly surprised to see the magician walk in in the locker room.

"Ha! Let me see the kid who broke my record! It's a big regret for me that I didn't come to the scene last game! I won't miss the next home game!" The magician smiled, his slightly raised face Small belly, like a black-skinned Maitreya Buddha.

After Kobe broke records in a row, the magician has mixed senses. He is lost, and he is no longer the protagonist on the historical stage. There is also happiness, it is the torch that the younger generation I agree with and admire has taken over from me. If the record will eventually be broken, then Kobe breaking the record is undoubtedly the best choice.

And what is the magician doing now? He is now a businessman, and a businessman seeks profit. As Kobe's business partner, a magician as a businessman is happy to see Kobe perform brilliantly.

The Lakers players are still very happy to see Magician, an approachable Lakers legend.

"Okay, guys. Then we must contribute a wonderful game to MAGIC." Curt Rambis also clapped his hands with a smile.

"no problem!"

7 p.m., February 21, 1997, at the Great Western Forum.

The fans in Los Angeles are already full. Now the Lakers are the glory of Los Angeles. After many years, the Lakers have finally entered a new peak from the SHOWTIME era. This is a grand ceremony for Los Angeles fans who love basketball.

When the Lakers players came out, bursts of crazy cheers and shouts made the morale of the players high. Especially when Kobe came out of the player tunnel, everything reached a climax, and the ceiling of the Great Western Forum was almost lifted by the high-decibel noise.

The Grizzlies players cringed and walked out amidst DJ's feeble shouts.

They had no morale, their eyes were empty, and they didn't dare to look at Kobe.

Kobe glanced at Raheem, only to see Raheem singing the national anthem with his hands drooping. Look like I am very good, I am an obedient child.

The starting lineup of the Lakers in this game has not changed. Harris absolutely trusts and approves the current starting lineup of the Lakers. Horry acts as the sixth man, replacing Campbell at any time in the five small lineups, and at the same time connects the substitute group. The Lakers are very proficient in this system, and the effect is very good.

George Lynch of the Grizzlies suffered an injury. The lineup for this game is PG Greg-Anthony SG Lawrence-Moten SF Roy Rogers PF Shareef-Abdul-Rahim C Bryant-Levis.

Except for Raheem, there are not many famous and powerful players. Except for Raheem, this group of players will gradually fade out of the NBA in a few years. Raheem is the absolute core of their team. In his rookie season, he averaged 18.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. His rookie scoring is second only to Kobe's 29.3 points and Iverson's 23.5 points.

It can be seen that Kobe Iverson has opened up more than one level of gap with these rookies. Raheem can be the leader of rookies in any year, but facing monsters like Kobe and Iverson, His performance this year isn't even mentioned much.

The last game was George Lynch's defense of Kobe, this time it was replaced by Lawrence Morten.

Bryant watched Lawrence Morten silently, waiting for him to come up and talk trash like 90% of players in this era will do.

Lawrence Morten didn't, and he lowered his eyes. He decided to listen to Raheem and not mess with Kobe.

This surprised Kobe a bit. He didn't know that Raheem had done a full hour of homework before the game to let his teammates play this game honestly.

Big Ben won the jump ball. Although Bryant-Levis is 2.13 meters tall, he is too bulky and his weight of 125KG makes his jumping very difficult.

Kobe still gave the opportunity to attack to his teammates at the beginning of the game. The Lakers made two back-run cuts, and Eddie Jones made a mid-range shot.

As the Lakers' No. 3 arrow, Eddie Jones played better and better after O'Neal left the game. His off-the-ball offense has done a lot for Kobe.

The next game was just as Raheem expected. The Grizzlies worked hard, and the Lakers and Kobe didn't show much interest. After all, the more intense the prey's resistance, the more interested the hunter is in hunting. Facing a shrinking turtle, most people would choose to keep out of sight and out of mind.

Grizzlies 17:24 Lakers in the first quarter.

44:51 at halftime.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies 87:101 the Lakers. A small point difference, the two sides played very friendly and harmonious on the field, the defensive actions were not big, and they played some wonderful performances, which made the Lakers fans present very happy.

Raheem wiped the sweat from his forehead, and managed to avoid Kobe, the big devil.

Kobe was a little listless. He didn't exert his strength, and his teammates crushed the Grizzlies. Played 31 minutes, made 8 of 15 shots, scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal and 0 turnovers.

In this game, Kobe played more of a role as a traditional point guard, and his style of play made the magicians on the sidelines clap their hands again and again.

"Raheem, are you cracking down on a fake game?" Kobe said to Raheem in a non-soft manner.

"What? You actually suspect that we are playing fake matches! You are provoking the dignity of my players!" Raheem sternly sternly, but his erratic eyes betrayed him.

"Next game, I hope you can do your best." Kobe touched his chin and walked out of the court. If that's the case next game, Kobe doesn't mind teaching the Grizzlies a lesson.
