My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 52 Bloody Battle

At the beginning of overtime, the Lakers' lineup is PG Kobe Bryant, SG Eddie Jones, SF Bruce Bowen, PF Ben Wallace, C Shaq O'Neal.

Campbell's physical fitness has bottomed out, and he can get anything he wants in front of Barkley. Harris can only let Ben play to mark the effect.

Houston did not adjust the lineup, and their stars were unwilling to rest.

At the beginning of overtime, O'Neal successfully jumped the ball in front of Olajuwon.

"Old guy, are you tired? Why don't you go down and watch me perform?"

"Little fat man, wait a minute and don't cry."

Bryant handles the ball, and Drexler is the man to defend. As long as Drexler is willing to continue to defend, Rudy Tomjanovich will not undermine the confidence of his star players.

Kobe looked directly at Drexler. His defense had reached the extreme, but his physicality made his footsteps start to slow down, and his center of gravity began to change uncontrollably. This is an important reason why Kobe can explode in the fourth quarter. A Drexler at his peak is not what Kobe can explode now.

But now, Drexler is not an opponent Kobe needs to consider.

Kobe was short and broke through from the left with a change of direction. His strong explosive power and physical coordination allowed Kobe to instantly distance himself from Drexler.

Damn, this kid is really difficult to deal with. Drexler turned and could only see Kobe's back.

Kobe faced Olajuwon's defense, and Barkley went to fill O'Neal's position. As long as he passed the ball, it would be a mistake!

Kobe didn't pass the ball, he jumped high, drifted back, and threw the ball to the limit in front of Olajuwon's block.

Come on!

The ball was almost taken away, and Olajuwon's ability to help defend and block shots is too strong.

"I won't be so lucky next time." Olajuwon stared at Kobe.

Kobe shrugged.

Houston had the ball, Drexler threw the ball to Barkley, Barkley held the ball in a high position, and the team's outside players quickly cut to the basket.

Barkley didn't pass the ball, and said to Big Ben in front of him, "Hey, that old Campbell dare not guard me anymore? Guarding me is not a good job."

Big Ben didn't dare to say a word, he stared at Barkley firmly.

Barkley saw that Ben Wallace was not distracted and was fooled, so he turned around and started hitting Wallace with his back.

"Can't hold it?" Barkley was a little surprised when he felt the force coming from the arm behind him. Barkley has the power to crush most of the insiders of this era, and he was beaten in front of an undrafted pick?

Then use footsteps, Barkley raised his shoulders to the left and swayed, quickly turned to the right and cut in.

blocked! Ben Wallace stuck in Barkley's way! Barkley even almost lost the ball under the fierce physical confrontation!

This kid's strength and speed can keep up with me! Barkley's steady turn was blocked, and the time was running out, so he had no choice but to score the ball outside Mario Eli.

Mario Ellie misses a jumper in front of Eddie Jones.

Kobe held the ball, called O'Neal to pull out the pick-and-roll, and Houston switched directly.

Olajuwon defends against Kobe alone!

Kobe remained composed, dribbling back and forth on his crotch.

Olajuwon didn't speak either, he focused on marking Kobe, Hakeem didn't know how long he hadn't shown such a state in the regular season.

left, right, left. Kobe's rhythmic dribbling prevented Olajuwon from pressing forward, and adjusted his pace back and forth with Kobe's footsteps.

Kobe strolled in the court, and at the moment when Olajuwon was a little staggering, he made a two-step shot from outside the three-point line!

What? Olajuwon, who didn't expect Kobe to make a shot, didn't even have time to take off, watching Kobe's artistic jumper.

Go in again! A super long three-pointer! In the arena, there was a sound of gasping on the court.

Rudy Tomjanovich requests a timeout.

O'Neal rushed over, jumped up and wanted to hang on Kobe, but Kobe turned his back deftly to avoid it.

"Go away, fat man." Kobe was terrified. If O'Neal pounced on him, his rookie season would be over.

The coaches of both sides did not arrange tactics, so the game at this time is left to the players to control themselves.

Olajuwon caught the ball from the baseline, dribbled half court, crossed away from O'Neal, and scored a layup in front of Ben Wallace's cover. 2+1!

Kobe lobbed the ball to O'Neal, and O'Neal knocked Olajuwon away, with Olajuwon and Barkley hooking to score.

Barkley made a fake jumper from outside the three-point line, Ben Wallace was kicked off, broke into the inside line and scored a layup.

With the help of O'Neal's pick-and-roll, Kobe went inside and scored.

"Their defense can't keep up with us!" Kobe, who jumped from the basket, tore his jersey, venting the fire in his heart.

Olajuwon let out a low hum, and passed it to Drexler, who was cut from mid-range, and Drexler made a short-range throw under the basket.

Under the performances of the superstars of both sides, the overtime game came to the last half minute, 112:112 tie. Olajuwon controlled the ball and changed his footsteps continuously at the basket. O'Neal was kicked off and scored a layup with no defense.

112:114, the Lakers trail by two points! 15 seconds left.

The Lakers called a timeout and served in the frontcourt.

With the help of Ben Wallace and O'Neal's screen, Kobe caught the ball under the flank.

Staggering to control the ball to the inside, under the attack of Drexler and Olajuwon, he jumped back and made a mid-range shot.

Equalizer, double overtime!

Damn it! Olajuwon watched Kobe in front of him score another key goal, and he hammered the floor regretfully.

Physical fitness is really not enough. . . Am I getting old? If you are 5 years younger, don't just be 3 years old. I can take this ball down.

In the second overtime, Houston has shed the last drop of sweat.

The Lakers scored 13:2 in the second overtime, and the Big Three's consecutive missed shots brought the game to an end.

"Kobe, is that your name?" Drexler found Kobe. He was very optimistic about the young man's performance. This young man would be the future of the league.

"Yes, that's right."

"Swap jerseys, you played great! But next time you won't win!" Drexler smiled.

"Little Fatty!" Olajuwon stepped forward and hugged O'Neal who scored 34 points and 15 rebounds.

"Old rascal, what are you doing?"

"Old rascal? Damn, that's what you call senior?" Olajuwon stared wide-eyed and swallowed the praise from his mouth. It seems that the next game will teach this little fat man how to play basketball.

"Hey, the defense is good." Barkley found Daben, and Nakamoto Wallace's defense against Barkley was very good in double overtime.

"Hey." Ben Wallace stroked his afro honestly.

"Even if you lose the draft, you can still play the future, do you understand what I mean?"
