My Name is Kobe Bryant

February 27, 1998.

The Lakers traveled to Minnesota again to face the Timberwolves for the fourth time this season.

In the previous three games, the Lakers had 2 wins and 1 loss, but that defeat made many experts believe that the Timberwolves are a team capable enough to defeat the Lakers.

Under the encouragement of experts, Garnett is an omnipotent being. He can easily defeat the Lakers' power forward position, dominate the game in both offense and defense, and finally end the Lakers' winning streak.

After Garnett was selected as the All-Star starter, he teamed up with Kobe to defeat the Eastern Conference All-Star team. In that game, Garnett was the out-and-out third man on the team, and his performance on both offense and defense overwhelmed all the superstars. Without Garnett, there would be no victory in that game.

People finally realized how powerful this No. 5 pick in 1995 in distant Minnesota was!

As a power forward, Garnett's defense runs throughout the three-point line. He can even pull outside the three-point line to chase defenders.

On the offensive end, Garnett's iron-blooded jump shot also left many blue-collar workers with no good way to defend.

Too high!

Kevin Garnett's real height is 2.16 meters, like a tower! Making it extremely difficult to defend his shots.

In other words, Garnett is not interested in attacking! If he devotes all his energy and training to the offensive end, he may be as unsolvable an offensive killer as KD!

Wolf King Garnett! Hailed by experts as the only man who can end the Lakers' winning streak!

Praise!

Garnett felt the adulation of the media for the first time!

How many people support the Lakers, and how many people stand against the Lakers!

The praise from these people instantly brought Garnett's reputation in the public opinion section to a peak!

"Double-team Kobe! Stanley and I will take care of Shaq!"

Before the game, Garnett patted his chest confidently!

Recently, he has listened to the comments of many experts. In the opinion of these experts, the Lakers team has only two enemies. A Kobe, an O'Neal.

The other players are not good at all!

As long as Kobe and O'Neal are killed, the Lakers will collapse!

Garnett thinks so!

So I repeatedly requested from head coach Flip Saunders that the defense must be arranged in this way in this game.

Coach Sanders smiled bitterly.

How could he not know the theories advocated by many experts recently? These sensational theories can fool Garnett, who is experiencing the media propaganda for the first time. Coach Sanders knows that this is all fart!

The Lakers have so many shooters! If you double-team OK, isn't that a gift?

But he couldn't bear Garnett's request. The example of madman Sprewell was right in front of him. Now is a time when league coaches are in danger.

Coach Sanders knows that Garnett is still very good and a player who respects the coach. But he was unwilling to force Garnett and make him feel dissatisfied.

"That's all, that's all. Let you experience it for yourself, so that you can understand how outrageous the analysis of those bullshit experts is."

So a crazy game took place!

The first time Kobe shot the ball into the paint, it felt wrong. Horry and Bowen were directly left open, and all the defense was focused on himself and O'Neal.

interesting!

Kobe didn't even think about it, and swung the ball behind him like eyes in the back of his head.

Horry raised his hand and shot!

middle!

Kobe attracts double-teams and Eddie Jones makes a three-pointer!

middle!

Bowen made a three-pointer from the corner!

Hit again! ~

The Timberwolves gritted their teeth and persisted. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Lakers' three-pointers, they relied on Garnett to face Horry's crazy crushing and clung to the point difference!

The Lakers made 8 three-pointers in a single quarter!

Even so, the Lakers only led by 3 points at 31:28!

Section 2! The OK combination, which didn't exert much effort at all, took turns leading the bench.

Old Curry and Mullin were still let go!

They seemed to be practicing three-pointers, hitting crazy shots!

I can't stop the bleeding!

When Garnett realized that this kind of game was about delivering food.

But the shooting skills of the Lakers' shooters can no longer be stopped!

"23 three-pointers!"

"The Lakers made 23 of 47 three-pointers!"

"Historical single-game team three-point field record!"

"The Lakers once again created a legend! A miracle!"

"This is the strongest three-point team in history! The Lakers players used this game to tell the entire league that they are more than OK!"

"The best shooting team! Listen to the league! Never double team!"

Garnett's face was so green that it seemed like it could explode with juice!

Careless!

He really didn't expect the Lakers' shooter to be so accurate.

"Kevin, what's going on with your coach? How did you set up the tactics?" O'Neal clapped his hands. He was a little unhappy in this game. He only scored 26 points and 13 rebounds under Garnett's double team.

Garnett made a hahaha, and in the confused eyes of Kobe and O'Neal, he retreated and ran back to the locker room.

"This month's Player of the Month is out."

"who is it?"

"There is no doubt whether it is a Laker player, so who is it, Kobe or Shaq?"

"Kobe averaged 29.7 minutes per game in February, scoring 34.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 3.4 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers with a 52.1% shooting rate and 43.2% three-point shooting rate."

"Shaq averaged 31.5 minutes per game, scoring 35.6 points, 16.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.4 steals and 3.1 turnovers with a 65.3% shooting rate."

"It's so strong! In this era when other teams only average around 90 points per game, Kobe and Shaq can score 70 points together!"

"The Lakers' average points per game are equally terrifying, averaging 127.5 points per game in a single month! 29.2 assists! Their assists per game are almost catching up with the Lakers in the SHOWTIME era, and SHOWTIME only averaged around 30 assists!"

"A month with explosive statistics. Not only Kobe and O'Neal, but other Lakers players also performed magnificently this month! Eddie Jones scored 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists in a single month, living up to the All-Star honor!"

"Horry averaged 13.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. As the Lakers' jack-of-all-trades player, without Horry, I believe this Lakers would be a level weaker!"

"Bowen can hit 1.2 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 38.2%, Mullin can hit 1.8 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 43.5%, Xiaoyu can hit 1.1 three-pointers with a 37.2% shooting rate, and Lao Ku It's even more terrifying! He hit a three-point shooting rate of 50.1% in a single month, averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game! Their existence makes opponents afraid to double-team OK! This is also the reason why the Lakers' scoring average per game explodes! "

"Three-point craze! Under OK's offensive containment, the Lakers' shooters have found their best form. This Lakers has become the best three-point team in the league, and perhaps the strongest three-point team in history. Team."

"When we played against the Timberwolves, we scored 23 three-pointers in a single game, breaking the team's single-game three-point record!"

“There’s nothing more pleasing to the eye than seeing a basketball fall smoothly into the hoop from beyond the three-point line!”
