My Name is Kobe Bryant

In the third quarter, Olajuwon dominated the game by himself with the unparalleled dominance. The 5-point difference at the end of the half was stretched to 14 points by Olajuwon. Kobe hit two super goals Difficulty, three-pointers and 2+1 under double-teaming. In the end, the point difference was controlled to 8 points.

At the end of the third quarter, Houston 87:79 Lakers.

Olajuwon scored 27 points in the half, making 11 of 15 shots.

11 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, 4 of 7. So far, he has scored 38 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.

It's still a full quarter of dominance, but Kobe has already seen his fatigue. Olajuwon is already at the end of his battle! His scoring efficiency began to decline. Even though he still had a shooting percentage of nearly 60%, it was still significantly lower than the exaggerated shooting percentage of nearly 80% in the first half. After all, he is a 34-year-old veteran. Olajuwon can carry the team to such a point alone. The physical consumption is very significant. The opportunity Kobe wants to wait for is gradually coming!

At the end of the third quarter, Kobe remained silent and scored 25 points, 9 of 17, without an exaggerated high shot. Kobe's offense was completely integrated into the Lakers as a whole. Although Kobe's scoring efficiency is not as good as that of Olajuwon, it is definitely a very high efficiency for the perimeter and for always facing two defenders. In particular, Kobe is cruising outside the restricted area. Except for fast breaks or air cuts, he does not score in the restricted area. Under such a situation, he can still shoot more than 50% of his shots, which is enough to illustrate Kobe's outside Offensive skills have also reached the extreme.

Kobe's offensive selection diversity is unique in history. He is truly proficient. Note that he is proficient, not just good at all the offensive skills needed by outside players. Like Olajuwon, Kobe has exercised every skill to the extreme, which allows him to choose different offensive and defensive strategies for different defensive arrangements. At the same time, it will be adjusted according to your own feel. If you feel good, you will shoot more long shots. If you feel bad, you will attack closer to the basket.

In this game, Kobe faced the defense of two heavy players such as Jim Jackson and Barkley, so Kobe chose to give the ball to Horry and Eddie Jones when they were on the court, and act as a defenseless player himself. The role of the ball running offense. When the double-teaming he encountered was not decisive enough and an open space was formed, Kobe would also quickly perform singles.

Kobe's statistics at the end of the three quarters were 25 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Both offense and defense are very balanced. Jim Jackson was completely ruined by Kobe in this game. He almost became an invisible man on the offensive end. This is what Kobe is good at. Not only can he dominate the game on the offensive end, he can also use defense to dominate the game! This game is a very typical example, because of Rudy Tomjanovich's target, Kobe really has no way to directly use offense to dominate the game.

The game started in the fourth quarter, 87:79, if it is said in later generations, it is simply not worth mentioning, and it can be easily caught up with a few three-pointers. In this era, the 8-point difference means that all 3-4 offensive opportunities need to be hit, and the opponent has not scored during this period, in order to complete the catch-up. In this era of fierce confrontation, it is actually not easy to achieve.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rudy Tomjanovich thought again and again, and still pulled Olajuwon down. So far, Olajuwon has played 32 minutes in this game, but only took a 4-minute break in the second quarter. If you continue to play the fourth quarter, it will be too serious for the 34-year-old veteran's body.

"Coach, I want to play the fourth quarter." On the other side, Kobe's eyes were full of desire to win, and he was bound to win this game!

"Hakeem will rest for a while, why not wait for him to play and you play together?"

"I'll play him, it's time to close the net." Kobe looked calm, but the fire in his eyes made Harris nod involuntarily. When Kobe walked on the court, Harris realized what had just happened. He was persuaded by an 18-year-old rookie?

On the other side, Houston's bench.

Olajuwon looked at Kobe who returned to the court, and angrily hammered his thigh. Damn it, is it possible that the score I worked so hard to score will go to waste again?

"Coach, the next dead ball, replace me!" Olajuwon's tone was unquestionable, Rudy Tomjanovich shook his head, but still reluctantly agreed.

In the two rounds when Olajuwon was not there, Kobe used the front of the body to change direction continuously, broke through the frame, reached the basket and completed a difficult layup. Without Olajuwon, the Houston penalty area cannot prevent Kobe. With the bulky Jim Jackson and Barkley, Kobe has many ways to break through them. Even if it is a double-team, Kobe is confident to reach the basket.

87:83. In just two offensive and defensive rounds, Houston couldn't stand the offense, and the score difference returned to 4 points.

Olajuwon returned to the field, and the fantasy footsteps swayed left and right to score the ball.

Kobe narrowed his eyes, and the footsteps of 'Dameng' seemed a little staggering.

"Eldon! Pick and roll!"

Kobe was ready.

Confront Olajuwon!

Soldier against soldier, general against general, now is the time to challenge the big dream head-on. It was a risky move, but Bryant was never afraid to fail.

pick and roll! Switch defenders!

Olajuwon waved his hand, and also told Barkley, who was preparing to help defend and double-team, not to come over.

Since you dare to challenge me! Then I'll give you a fair one-on-one chance.

Olajuwon's slender but powerful body lowered his center of gravity, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Kobe.

How many years, Hakim can not remember since when, no perimeter in the league dared to challenge themselves. Those overreaching guys who challenged themselves were blown to the ground. Even Michael Jordan, who was in full swing, would avoid the restricted area when he met Houston.

The basketball in Kobe's hand was swinging under his crotch, and he also leaned slightly.

This goal is of great significance. The direct dialogue between the bosses of the two teams will affect the morale of all the players present. And it's a very big impact.

"Olajuwon switched defenses in front of Kobe! Kobe challenged Hakeem directly! Kobe has given us a lot of shocks! His confidence in daring to challenge Hakeem is something young players should learn from!" Thompson said Anticipation oozes excitement.

"I think Kobe is a little too big on this goal. What if Kobe can't score? It is not so rational to face the behavior of challenging the strongest defender of the opposing team. Although the benefits are great, the risks are equally astonishing!"

"Maybe this is why Kobe was able to establish himself in the NBA and become a superstar at such a young age? Face the most horrific dilemmas, instead of choosing to escape like most people would do, such a What can you blame your mentality?"
