My Name is Kobe Bryant

"This is impossible!" Popovich's eyes widened as he watched Kobe, facing double or even triple teams in the fourth quarter, still hitting unreasonable shots one after another.

This doesn't follow basketball logic!

The ironclad theorem that the more people are defending, the lower the shooting percentage seems to have lost its meaning in front of Kobe.

Although the so-called superstar can still score 20+30+ no matter how you target him, Kobe's 21 points in the third quarter and 39 points in the second half are a bit outrageous!

39 points at halftime! This is the highest score in a half in the playoffs since the establishment of the NBA's 50th anniversary!

The previous record was held by Flying Pig Barkley! Barkley scored 38 points in the first half of the Suns' playoff game against the Warriors on April 5, 1994!

Swinging to death!

In Popovich's view, the Spurs were sure of victory, and their huge advantage was wiped out by Kobe's superstar ball after ball!

Although Popovich is a new coach, he has also played professionally! This is simply outrageous, and there is such a way to win?

Let's just give you four top defensive players and watch you throw the ball by yourself. Can you average 40+ per game like Chamberlain?

Duncan showed a rare expression of gritted teeth!

Kobe faced him, and one second before he completed the block, he used an acrobatic movement to throw the ball into the sky.

The basketball was spinning, dodging Duncan's big hand and hitting the board into the net!

"It's a pity. If you had been faster, you would have been able to guard against me." Kobe spread his hands and shrugged.

The Admiral was sweating profusely. He and O'Neal fought hand-to-hand for a whole game, leaving O'Neal with only 18 points and 14 rebounds in this game. This result is definitely very good.

But he doesn't have much room left to support Duncan on the offensive and defensive ends.

Lost.

When Kobe Bryant hit that heart-wrenching floater, the Admiral knew all was lost.

Even though coach Popovich's defense of O'Neal was perfectly implemented in this game, the Lakers' shooters did not shoot away, and their own twin towers had a huge advantage in the penalty area.

Still lost.

"I'm convinced, Kobe is really good." O'Neal sat at the media conference, shaking his head and sighing, as if he was still thinking about the game just now.

San Antonio Spurs 87:99 Lakers.

The Lakers won. Kobe scored 21 points in the third quarter, 18 points in the fourth quarter, and 39 points in the second half alone. Kobe's god-like performance directly caused the Spurs and Lakers, who were originally evenly matched, to win. burden.

39 points at halftime! Postseason half-time scoring record!

Kobe once again created a legend!

O'Neill was convinced.

A good leader is not like Zhuge Liang who does everything and does not give others a chance to perform. In this case, your younger brothers will have nothing to do but water skiing.

A real leader is like Kobe, just go for it! If you can't beat me, I'll take care of it!

Kobe is like this now, and James will be like this after he evolves!

Leaders with such a mentality often have to wait until after the age of 30 to mature mentally in all aspects. Don't like to show off, you can only do it after you know how to stimulate the state of every player under you.

O'Neal was impressed by Kobe like this!

After all the hard work, I couldn't beat the Duncan + Robinson combination. As a result, Kobe came up and took over the game with two waves of offensive climax!

If it was before he was punished by the Spurs, O'Neal might have thought it was nothing, and I could do it.

But when O'Neal experienced the historical twin towers in the first half of the game, he deeply felt the greatness of Kobe.

Kobe's explosive scoring power is simply terrifying!

The Spurs don't just sit there and let you chase points! Duncan scored 27 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals and 2 turnovers in this game. The Admiral scored 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

Two people scored 40+20 together! The hit rate is extremely high!

In a slow-paced game, scoring 40+20 from the Twin Towers can almost guarantee victory!

Kobe, on the other hand, shot 16 of 27 from the field and 8 of 13 from three-point range, scoring 47 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, and 4 turnovers!

39 points at halftime in the playoffs!

O'Neal had never seen such a performance!

Even though the Spurs' forward and defensive line is below the league level, Kobe's ability to produce such a terrifying stat makes O'Neal in awe.

too strong!

Even No. 1 center O'Neal felt that Kobe's performance in this game was savior-level. If Kobe's shooting percentage is lower or his shots are lower, the outcome of this game will be difficult to say.

This was the first time O'Neal felt that he could win even while water skiing! The score was less than 20 points, the shooting percentage was less than 50%, and the team's shooter did not take a shot and the result was a win!

This was something that was simply unimaginable in magic in the past!

It was so awesome, O'Neal almost worshiped Kobe. He could even imagine how the media would criticize him tomorrow if this game was held down by Duncan and the Admiral!

The media won't care whether the Spurs blocked them by one person or two people. They will only say that they are not worthy of their reputation as the number one center! The first center should be the Admiral!

Fortunately, there is Kobe! Kobe not only saved the team! Saved myself too!

The position of the first center is saved!

Chicago, Bulls vs. Hawks.

Michael Jordan made 19 of 36 shots, 6 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 51 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 4 turnovers!

51 points!

Michael Jordan scored 50+ in the playoffs again!

Made 6 three-pointers!

This is Jordan's three consecutive playoff games with at least three three-pointers!

The sword is not old yet!

No one who has watched this game thinks that this omnipotent basketball god is old!

He is just at his peak!

Although his athletic ability has declined, his golf IQ and skills have risen to a higher level again.

A version of Jordan with upgraded three-point shooting and improved ball-handling ability!

Kobe, the Lakers, forced out the strongest Jordan!

Just after the game ended, Jordan did not go to the press conference, but turned on the TV.

This was the last quarter between the Lakers and the Spurs. Faced with the Spurs' crazy stranglehold, Kobe still knocked down one ball after another!

"39 points at halftime."

But even Jordan, who scored 51 points, couldn't help but be speechless.

He knows better than anyone that scoring is not difficult. Both he and Kobe have the ability to score 50+ points against any defense when they are in good condition.

Just like facing the Hawks, even though Mutombo dominates the inside, Jordan can also score 50+.

Facing the Spurs' level of perimeter defense, it didn't surprise Jordan that Kobe scored 40+50+.

But 39 points at halftime was a bit scary. This requires very high scoring power from players!

Barkley was 11-for-11, and he was able to score the victory without any defense in the interior.

And 80% of Kobe's offense relies on jump shots!

Can you do it yourself?

It seems difficult for Jordan to ask himself.
