My Name is Kobe Bryant

"24 seconds! All the Bulls players are looking for Jordan's position, but Jordan has no chance to catch the ball!"

"When they realized that time was running out, they lost the opportunity to take action."

"Triangle offense! Michael Jordan's off-ball move was blocked by Kobe Bryant!"

Kobe held the jersey in his mouth and nodded vigorously!

Michael! With Pippen, you are no match for me!

"Fake." Jordan hammered his thigh. If he were five years younger, his explosive power would be able to throw off Kobe. But now, Kobe's high mobility and defensive anticipation really make Jordan somewhat powerless.

Is it possible that after attacking with the ball in front of the frame, Kobe will also block off-ball movement?

And the only way to score stably is the fadeaway jump shot?

However, the scoring efficiency of fadeaway jumpers is not as good as Kobe's fadeaway three-pointers. This has been proven in the last game.

what to do!

how to spell!

Jordan gritted his teeth.

The Lakers' second offense was also a running tactic.

Eddie Jones got rid of Harper after continuous zip-up tactical moves, got a mid-range shot, and hit again.

"It seems that the Lakers' third-leading player, Eddie Jones, is becoming more and more stable. Last year he was still a player who averaged 12 points per game in front of the Bulls, but now he can score stably."

"Something's not going well with the Bulls. Kobe hasn't exerted his strength yet, and their defense is showing signs of collapse."

"Phil Jackson was frowning on the sidelines. It looked like he wasn't happy with the defense."

"But I can only say that the Lakers' tactical understanding is getting better and better. It seems that it is not easy to completely block the Lakers' regular offense. The reason why the Lakers can win 34 consecutive victories is not that every Relying on OK in every game can change your fate."

Blacksmithing!

Can't catch the ball!

Mistake!

The Bulls missed all 4 of their opening shots!

On the other side, the Lakers scored 3 of 4. Under Jordan's strict defense, Kobe mobilized his teammates and scored three assists.

"Smart! Kobe played smart!"

"It seems that the Bulls' defensive focus in this game is Kobe. Kobe saw through this and cleverly made the Bulls' defense in vain."

"This is called game reading ability. This ability often appears in stars with top golf intelligence and veteran players over 30 years old. And Kobe, who is less than 20 years old, can have this kind of game reading ability. I can only It can be said that he is gifted.”

pause!

6:0!

Phil Jackson suddenly chose to pause.

Master Jackson's timeout timing is different from most coaches. He always chooses a timeout suddenly when the team is making good progress, or never calls a timeout when the team is at a disadvantage.

This confusing pause choice also puzzles many people.

And no one can understand this pause.

If there is no timeout, the game will be over!

"Michael! Scotty! Stop focusing on Kobe. We can't care about him anymore."

"clear!"

"On the offensive end, Scotty, you hold the ball and attack! Michael, if you don't have a chance, don't force it. Reserve your physical strength until the end and prepare to take over the game at the critical moment."

"good."

Pippen's face was a little flushed, the color of excitement.

It's time to prove yourself! Pippen's contract is about to expire! The next contract will be the last big contract of his career!

Pippen currently only holds a cheap contract of US$2.78 million, which is not even 1/10 of Jordan!

And what is his role? It goes without saying that Jordan never won a championship without Pippen.

No Pippen! There is no Jordan!

This is what Pippen firmly believes!

And now is the best time to prove yourself!

"Scotty has the ball!"

"Breakthrough! Scotty suddenly accelerated! He pushed Bowen into the inside!"

"Beautiful basket lick! Pippen completed the layup under the confrontation with Bowen!"

"Hit him from behind! Pippen hit Bowen from behind!"

"Shake! Shake! Turn around!"

"Passed! Bowen was passed by Pippen and dunked with one hand! Pippen dunked the ball into the basket with one hand under Horry's defense!"

"Scotty suddenly shot a three-pointer! Hit!"

"He's in hot shape! Pippen is in hot shape! Bowen was a little stunned by him!"

"This is how the second leader of a dynasty team should behave! Pippen single-handedly provoked the Bulls' offense when Jordan was blocked by Kobe!"

At the end of the first quarter, Bulls 24:27 Lakers.

The Lakers' advantage is invisible! For a dynasty team like the Bulls, the three-point advantage is almost negligible.

The score between the two sides in the first quarter was not high, but don't think that the confrontation between the two teams was not intense. Fans watching this game can say that this is the most intense offensive and defensive confrontation they have seen so far in 1998!

Neither Kobe nor Jordan scored high! But they were running like crazy! The ever-present fake movements, involvement on the offensive end, and desperate efforts on the defensive end make the knowledgeable audience excited!

On the other side is the stage for O'Neal and Pippen. In the first quarter, O'Neal was in a god-like state. O'Neal, who is in full physical condition, has no solution without encountering a top center!

The overlord inside! Even if Luke Longley and Rodman hang on O'Neal together, O'Neal can force the score!

Dominance!

This is O'Neal's dominance after gaining weight!

In a single quarter, he scored 6 of 8 and 4 of 7 free throws, scoring 16 points and 7 rebounds! For a center, this kind of explosive scoring power is almost impossible!

The inside line is the most important defensive area in this era. If a team's inside line is blown out like this, it is almost impossible to win.

Often after some inside players make consecutive hits, what awaits them is constant double-teaming and malicious fouls, trying to get them to play the ball as much as possible.

And O'Neal, double-teamed by these 2 or 3 people, still exerted such dominance, and only the peak dream can compare with it.

The Bulls' ability to hold on to the score relied entirely on two points from Pippen and Rodman.

Rodman went crazy and grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in a single quarter in front of Horry! Abruptly, the Bulls' total shots were increased by 1/5!

4 shots means 4 offensive opportunities! This is also the reason why the Bulls can still hold on despite O'Neal's stormy attack.

On the other side, the second-in-command of the Bulls, Batman Scottie Pippen, is on full fire!

breakthrough! Back slap! Pick and roll! Score the ball!

omnipotent! everywhere!

Because he rested until early January, Pippen's physical fitness is more abundant than any player on the court!

It’s equivalent to a new force!

4 of 7 in a single quarter, 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals!

"Michael, you are not fighting alone!"

When he walked off the court, the scene of Pippen banging his chest and roaring at Jordan has become another classic of the NBA.
