My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 294: Fight the Storm and Defeat Ewing!

At the end of the halftime game, the Lakers locker room was full of laughter at this time. Even though their team was blown inside, they still suppressed the New York Knicks, leading by 8 points 53:61. Such a situation is undoubtedly something to be proud of and worth celebrating. The Lakers' full-court pressing tactics have been fully formed. Under the leadership of Kobe as the arrow, they can face most teams in a short period of time. Defensive counterattack tactics have been included in Harris' routine tactics, and Harris will take the initiative to press on many occasions.

80% of the Lakers' full-court press relied on Kobe's suppression and prediction of offensive players. When Kobe concentrated on defense, he was too powerful to suppress the short and thin point guard! And this kind of short offensive guard is the mainstream of the current league.

With his 20-year career prediction and his tenacity to follow up immediately after losing his position, Kobe can always contribute wonderful steals without losing his strength! Then lead a fiery offense, such a smooth offense will undoubtedly feast the eyes of the Lakers audience.

As the head coach of the team, Harris was extremely happy to see several players back in the locker room, sitting in their seats, hammering Kobe's shoulders and legs. Kobe not only played well, but also led the team. The ability is also so strong, the Lakers players are almost becoming Kobe's little fans.

"Hahaha! It's so cool, you didn't see Alan Houston's expression after being overtaken by us!" Fisher giggled while pinching Kobe's leg.

"Gorilla Ewing's panting expression in the second quarter is more funny!" Campbell winked.

"Boss, you have to rest! Beat them in the second half!"

"That's right! Get out of the way! I'm familiar with pinching your shoulders!"

When the second half of the game started and players from both sides returned to the court again, the cheers of the Lakers fans became even crazier! Especially when they saw the energetic Kobe, they were going crazy!

The gorilla Ewing's expression was very embarrassing. He did not expect that the team would still be greatly suppressed by the Lakers even though he ruled the penalty area. This has never happened before.

Will it still be pressing? Every New York Knicks player is silently asking in his heart. They were relieved to see that the Lakers settled normally and retreated to their own half.

It was too hard, breaking the Lakers, breaking Kobe's tight defense was too hard. The Knicks players seemed to have a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. Although they did not fall, their nerves were always tense, for fear that the Lakers would suddenly start pressing.

Abandoning the tight Lakers, the offensive rhythm is still fast. They just start to waterproof and preserve their energy on the defensive end. The young Lakers players are still running back and forth with the two big guys Oakley and Ewing! consume their energy.

"Run! Run!" Kobe shouted loudly, taking the lead and rushing back and forth. Aunt Larry Johnson's defense completely collapsed under Kobe's sensitive running position. Can't keep up with his footsteps, facing Kobe, who is slippery and galloping on the court, no matter how powerful he is, he has nowhere to use it!

All the Knicks could do was knock Bryant to the ground with a vicious defense one by one.

What's the matter! Every time he falls to the ground, Kobe will look stubborn, slap his butt, and hit a free throw steadily! If you feel like you continue to foul, the Knicks with eight players in rotation, Kobe wants to see how long it takes for the Knicks to have players sent off.

Seeing that the foul tactics of the tried and tested Braun, it doesn't work in front of Kobe. Van Gundy couldn't help sweating profusely. As a fat man, it's hard not to sweat when his mood fluctuates violently. The sweat on Jeff Van Gundy's forehead was sticking to the ends of his hair, making him look so embarrassed.

"This is the greatness of Silver Fox Harris! He made Van Gundy, a rookie coach, realize the cruelty of the NBA, and taught Van Gundy a good lesson!"

"Van Gundy really needs to improve his on-the-spot response. I only saw his tactical adjustments on Starks and Ewing. These two tactics are ineffective against the Lakers!"

"Harris built two complete tactical systems this season with O'Neal and without O'Neal! He is simply a genius!" In the commentary booth, the Lakers' live commentary praised Harris. This season, Harry Smith's performance is so amazing, there are rumors that even if the Lakers lose the No. 1 throne in the Western Conference, the honor of the best head coach will still fall to Silver Fox Harris.

In the first half of the third quarter, the Lakers were still a little behind. Ewing gritted his teeth, persisted, continued to output, and continued to beat poor Campbell.

Campbell has almost become the goalkeeper of the league's starting center, and he has been blasted. Fortunately, his movement speed and ability to eat cakes are still very good. He can run tirelessly, which is rare among big men. It suits the Lakers' style of play.

New York Knicks 72: 74 Lakers! 4 minutes left in the third quarter!

Harris announced that the audience is pressing!

The Lakers and Kobe once again broke up the Knicks' back line, even Starks lost the ball again and again in the face of Kobe!

"8 steals! Kobe has 8 steals! The steals are fast! Wonderful one-armed windmill! Both agility and strength!"

"Starks was spoiled by Kobe! Kobe wants anything in front of him!"

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers once again hit a wave of climax through the full-court press, pulling away the must-point. Facing the Lakers' pressing tactics, the Knicks have no ability to resist at all. At least the current Van Gundy can't think of a way to resist.

New York Knicks 75:83 Lakers!

This is the score difference at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Lakers' starters were all replaced, while the Knicks continued to rotate with eight players. Ewing continued to try to save the situation on the court.

With 8 minutes left, Kobe finally appeared on the stage amidst cheers. The must score at this time was 83:87 Lakers! The Lakers' offense has stagnated. Facing the increasingly fierce confrontation with the iron-blooded Knicks, the Lakers' players' shooting touch has been greatly affected.

"Beautiful break! Kobe hits the basket again! He's got eight fouls in this game! Ewing has 4 fouls, Oakley has 5 fouls, Larry Johnson has 5 fouls. They dare not stop Kobe !Kobe goes to the hoop for a layup!"

"Too fast! Kobe's breakthrough speed is too fast for Larry Johnson!"

With 5 minutes left in the game, the Lakers used the full-court press again. Ewing's jersey was already soaked in sweat, and he closed his eyes in despair—there was no way to recover from this game.

At the end of the game, the Knicks lost 97:113 to the Lakers.

Kobe played 38 minutes, 7 of 12 shots, 13 of 15 free throws, 29 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

Ewing played 45 minutes, made 14 of 23 shots, scored 34 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 blocks and 5 turnovers.

The Lakers are nearly a dozen behind in rebounds, but their steals and fast break data are equally astonishing! The team had 18 steals and scored 54 fast break points.

Hit the storm! The Lakers beat the Knicks!
