My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Shaq, why are you holding me back? I want to give that guy a good look!" Ben Wallace gasped like a calf, his face flushed. Payton led the Sonics players to provoke him, which made him furious. If O'Neal hadn't pulled him, he was worried that O'Neal's injury that had just recovered would be affected again, and Big Ben would have rushed forward to give Payton a sack!

"Hey, calm down. Ben, do you want to be suspended and cause the team not to win 70 wins?" Although O'Neal was also a little angry by Payton's provocation, he still clearly knew what the team needed. It's not a moment of bravery and fierceness, but to break the record and compete with the Bulls for the league's first place in the regular season this season.

"Shaq is right." Kobe also knew that Payton was deliberately provoking! Come to arouse the anger of the Lakers players! This is a tactic, perhaps a psychological tactic arranged by George Karl. The purpose is to stir up the mentality of the young Lakers players. The young people are very angry. Now they are provocative, and there is some dirt on the field. In the end, a conflict broke out between the two sides. The Lakers were sent off and suspended several players. It is impossible to complete 70 wins.

insidious! This is why Kobe just raised his head and stared at Payton indifferently, and he didn't want to waste any more words on it.

Although supersonic is strong, it is not invincible. For basketball matters, use your performance on the court to speak!

"Kobe is very mature. He didn't let this conflict escalate. Kobe didn't look like an 18-year-old player at all. Payton seemed to be just a clown with his teeth and claws in front of him." Old Thompson was amazed. At Kobe's age, as long as he If someone provokes him, he will definitely fight back in a rage.

"Kobe is indeed too mature. In all aspects, his maturity makes people feel a sense of contrast. The young and strongest rookie king is actually mature like an old player who has played for more than ten years. This may be Kobe's attraction. Well. Kobe’s fans are not just young people and kids, unlike Penny and Hill. Kobe’s fans cover all age groups. Young people like Kobe’s chic and elegant style of play, middle-aged people like Kobe’s perseverance and never give up The spirit of giving up, the old fans appreciate Kobe's kind of American workers who seem to have come out of the last century to work hard, and to try their best on the offensive and defensive ends, that kind of vitality."

"This is also the reason why the number of Kobe's fans is blowing out. It is definitely not just that Kobe played a few good games. Kobe has a kind of magic that people can't help admiring."

"This game may be the most difficult game Kobe faces. The tiredness on the faces of the Lakers players cannot be concealed, and the Sonics are waiting for work. Payton and Kemp will definitely aim at suppressing Kobe's offensive space. .Payton locks the mid-range, Kemp locks the paint. So where is Kobe's offensive space?"

Players from both sides began to warm up on the court. Payton and some Sonics players have been looking at Bryant maliciously. Although George Karl is an academic coach, he does a lot of dirty work.

"Gary, do you think the mentality of the Lakers players has been affected?" Sean Kemp asked meanly, covering his mouth.

"Of course! No one can ignore the great Gary Payton! Kobe looks calm, but in fact he's flustered inside!" Payton said firmly.

"Then come as planned?"

"According to the plan!"

The Lakers' starting lineup has not been adjusted. Harris will not adjust this five-man team with a high tacit understanding until O'Neal rejoins the team rotation.

The Sonics starting lineup is PG Gary Payton SG Jose - Hawkins SF Detref - Schramff PF Sean - Kemp C Elvin Johnson.

This year's All-Stars, Payton, Schramf, and Kemp were selected for the All-Stars. It is the team with the most All-Star selections in the league. And Jose Hawkins was also an All-Star guard in previous years.

Theoretically speaking, the Sonics' starting lineup has 4 All-Stars in their prime!

A squad of absolute quality. And their substitutes also have super blocking guards like Nate McMillan, defensive champions. A space-based power forward who beat Michael Jordan's Sam Perkins.

Such a lineup is no worse than any team. They also relied on this team to suppress a bunch of superstars in the West last year and won the first place in the West. Their record has dropped a lot this season, from a 64-win Western Conference champion team to a visually estimated 55-60-win fourth in the Western Conference. The biggest reason is Sean Kemp.

Sean Kemp has always had a big disagreement with the team on the matter of the contract. He wants a 100 million yuan contract, and the team certainly knows what Kemp's private life is like. They will not give Kemp such a possibility at any time. A long-term contract of 100 million yuan for a player with a serious decline. This makes the team's atmosphere very bad. Sean Kemp is always the second in charge of the team. When he is not playing happily, it is difficult for the team to make progress.

But in this game, Sean Kemp must go all out and even show 120% strength. Scoring a top stat against a team like the Lakers that has attracted the attention of the entire league! Isn't it more proof that he is worthy of a 100 million yuan contract?

"I'll jump the ball!" Camp geared up and pulled Elvin Johnson away.

"It seems that Sean is very active in this game." Payton thought to himself, Kemp is a quasi-superstar in the games where he doesn't swim! A superstar with flawless offense and defense.

"Uh, okay."

Kemp rarely jumps the ball this season, but he is definitely a BUG-level jumping monster! He is 2.08 meters tall, has a historical level of bounce speed, and has excellent reflexes. As long as he can concentrate, few people in the current league can jump the ball better than him.

"This game has been full of sparks from the jump ball!"

"Ben Wallace and Kemp stared angrily, and the two confronted each other on the center line, as if they were talking about something."

The referee threw the ball high into the sky.

Ben Wallace and Rain Man Kemp go toe to toe! Take off almost at the same time!

Jump fast! Neither man touched the ball.

After falling, take off again!

Kemp's bullet speed was faster than Ben Wallace, who had not yet reached his peak, and gave the ball to Payton.

Peyton advances rapidly!

Supersonic wants to speed up and play faster!

Payton passes the ball decisively before Bryant's defense is in place, and Jose Hawkins catches it.

Keep up with Kemp's pick and roll!

Jose Hawkins evades Eddie Jones on a Kemp pick-and-roll, drives to the hoop, grabs Ben Wallace's attention, and tosses the ball high.

"Boom!" Kemp hung on the basket.

"Wait, where's the ball?" Kemp felt that his hands were empty, and he didn't feel the pleasure of completing a slam dunk at all.

What about basketball?

The basketball was not picked up by Kemp!

Bryant leaps into the air and embraces a pass from Jose Hawkins before Kemp catches it!

Air intercept!

This is a no-fly zone right now!
