My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 298: The seventh defeat

Than broke through! Beautiful front change! But Jim Jackson's response was equally quick! Continuous sliding steps to fill the position, pulling and withdrawing with the hands, firmly guarding Kobe's attacking direction! "

"Barkley double-teams! Kobe didn't want to be caught in a double-team attack. He made a decisive decision and used Jim Jackson to block Barkley. He leaned back and made a jumper!"

"Mario Eli shot out from the side! It seems to have interfered with Kobe!"

"Miss! It's a strike! At the beginning of the game, Kobe's first attack was a rare strike!"

"Olajuwon didn't even do anything, just hit Campbell! A layup and scored again!"

"Kobe got double-teamed! Passed! Passed to Ben Wallace at the basket!"

"Ben Wallace is ready to dunk! Olajuwon made up the defense in time! The young and vigorous Ben still soars into the air!"

"Two people jumping at the same time! Olajuwon is obviously taller! The palm of your hand pressed down on Big Ben's dunk!"

"A stalemate! Dameng holds Daben firmly with his palm!"

"It was blown away! The basketball was blown away from Ben Wallace by Dameng! Amazing block! This block is enough to be selected as the best block of the season!"

"Drexler counterattacked! Ben Leibu went straight to the Lakers half court! Only Kobe on the Lakers reacted and kept up!"

"Drexler throws the ball high against Kobe! Barkley follows up! Alley dunk!"

"6:0! The game just started 2 minutes, Harris chose to pause!"

—————

The fans at home in Houston cheered like thunder! This is their invincible Big Three! Even the league's No. 1 Lakers are on the verge of collapse in their hands! This season, Houston once again has a great chance to win the championship, and the situation on the court proves this! The strength of the Lakers is unquestionable. Even without O'Neal, their winning percentage in the last 10 games is as high as 80%.

Facing strong teams, even if the Lakers lose, they have never collapsed. This has something to do with their current leader being Kobe. Kobe's willpower is gradually infecting other Lakers players. From training to the game, Kobe leads by example. In the beginning, it was only young rookies, and gradually added a few young players, and finally even some veterans began to be influenced by Kobe. The Lakers team can be said to not need anyone in terms of willpower.

It's just that under the crushing of Houston's absolute strength, everything about the Lakers and Kobe seems so powerless.

"Hold it! Campbell, don't take off! As long as Olajuwon jumps, it is impossible to miss this opportunity!"

"Open! Your defensive players are attracted by Kobe, you have to run to get open! Then throw that damn open ball!"

Kirtland Biss hated iron but steel, and Harris looked at Kobe on the side.

Kobe stared at the coach innocently with his eyes wide open.

Neither do I!

Three top perimeter defensive players, plus Barkley to help defend. What can Kobe do? In this formation, even Jordan Pippen was easily slaughtered. Houston's system is almost invincible against a team without a top center.

Harris said a few symbolic words, pay attention to the defense of the penalty area, pay attention to transferring the ball, and the game continued.

Los Angeles Lakers 16:29 Houston. After the end of the first quarter, the must score has been dropped to 13 points! An exaggerated point difference, the Lakers rarely start this season like this.

Bryant was just getting used to Jim Jackson's defense in the first quarter, and Houston coach Rudy Tomjanovich immediately switched the defender to Drexler.

After adapting to Drexler, the defender was immediately replaced by Mario Eli.

Three different perimeter defenders, three different styles of players.

Jim Jackson has excellent physical fitness, light feet and fierce strength.

Drexler has seasoned experience, accurate defensive predictions, and his height and wingspan crush Kobe in all aspects.

Mario Eli's defense is comprehensive and balanced in all aspects, it is difficult to find a place to target.

3 people take turns defending Kobe! It can ensure the continuity of physical fitness, and it can also keep Kobe's defense against Houston in a tentative stage. Coupled with Barkley's pincer attack and Olajuwon's position at the basket, Kobe's situation in the first quarter was very difficult. Even so, Bryant can only choose a large number of shots.

Because Ben Wallace's offensive range is only at the basket, after Barkley's defense, Ben Wallace is in a completely empty state. As long as he catches the ball and dares to attack, Olajuwon is already waiting at the basket.

This is equal to 5 against 4. Under the premise of 5 defenses and 4 defenses, the Lakers' tactical movement is somewhat blocked. Eddie Jones and Bowen did not open the three-pointer on the outside. Houston's three outside defensive players played very badly. , At the same time, Barkley acts as a flanker, no matter who holds the ball, he will go up and do it twice.

Other players will harass Kobe when they get close without losing their position. Instead of Kobe, any player who holds the ball will stand in their defensive position.

With a very targeted defense, Rudy Tomjanovich made full preparations for this match. This series of combined punches not only blasted the Lakers inside on the offensive end, but also had an advantage on the defensive end.

And Kobe has no way to challenge Olajuwon. The peak Jordan is deflated in the regular season. Of course, Kobe knows that he wants to face two people to break through, reach the basket and challenge Olajuwon. This is the scoring efficiency The lowest way is almost impossible to succeed.

Kobe made 2 of 8 shots and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

His teammates made 4 of 15 shots and scored only 10 points.

Unspeakable offensive performance, Kobe and his teammates misfired. I have to say that Rudy Tomjanovich's targeted defense is very good.

The Lakers and Houston scoring ratio in the restricted area is 2:18!

It can be seen from here that Houston already has an absolute advantage on the scene.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers' substitutes were rarely misfired in this game. It seems that the performance of the starters also has an impact on them.

Houston's bench is led by AC Green, who was traded from the Suns in a three-way trade, and the Big Three lead the team in turn. The Lakers' substitute is no match for the Big Three, and it is impossible for any one of them to face the Lakers. If it is normal, the Lakers' bench may still explode with Houston. However, today, the Lakers' bench, which feels bad, continues to dig holes.

Harris had no choice but to switch to the starting lineup ahead of schedule. The double-starter fights against each other, and the situation is no different from that in the first quarter. Kobe felt cold. In the second quarter, he continued to fight against the defense of Houston, even so Kobe never gave up.

Kobe's crazy shot gave the situation a little bit of improvement. However, with a large number of mid-range, it is always no match for the high scoring efficiency at the basket.

In the end, the Lakers 79:113 Houston, swallowed the seventh loss of the season.
