My Name is Kobe Bryant

Before Kobe exhausted Richmond's physical energy, the Lakers and Jazz were still in a 50-50 state.

Even Kobe has a very good touch and hits consecutive shots. Malone and Richmond's offense also left the Lakers unable to defend.

As Kobe Bryant consumed Richmond infinitely in both offense and defense, knocked down Richmond, and completed a legendary 360° pass-through dunk, the Jazz collapsed!

The result of Richmond's physical decline was that Malone fell into a solo fight!

On the Lakers side, Kobe began to take over!

In front of a physically exhausted Richmond! Kobe can do anything!

Harris replaced Ben in the last 3 minutes!

Let Bowen switch to guard Richmond!

This became the last tactic that determined victory or defeat!

When Kobe and Bowen teamed up to press the Jazz full court, Kobe blocked Stockton, and Bowen stole the basketball from the depleted Richmond, everything came to an end.

Jazz 131:143 Lakers!

A game with super high scores, super fast pace, and a lot of shots!

The total score is 274 points!

It's terrifying!

The Lakers took 112 shots in total! The Jazz took 106 shots in total!

Karl Malone scored a game-high 47 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 5 turnovers.

O'Neal scored 36 points, 21 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.

Kobe scored 31 points, 12 rebounds, 17 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers.

Richmond scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.

Eddie Jones scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Bowen scored 18 points and 6 rebounds.

Mullin scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Old Curry scored 12 points!

Three pairs!

Kobe Bryant scores another big triple-double in the playoffs!

Under the leadership of Kobe, 6 Lakers scored in double figures! OK scored 67 points together!

In this game, the Lakers' offensive capabilities were fully demonstrated!

In front of a veteran defensive team like the Jazz, he scored 143 points!

This score may be the highest score Jerry Sloan has ever scored in his life!

There are only a few teams in history with this kind of firepower.

Too beautiful! This game was simply the most exciting game of the year, and the situation was entangled until the last moment to determine the winner. There are superstars! Have tactics! There are ups and downs of the plot! There are superheroes!

The collision between inside and outside! Countless offensive and defensive tactics are staged in turn! Although everyone scores very high, this does not mean that the defense is poor at all!

The defenses of the Lakers and Jazz are also among the strongest in the league! The confrontation between the players on the defensive end made these scores seem hard-won!

Fighting between gods! Only a superstar like Kobe Malone O'Neal, who is very high in history, can perform like this!

"This is the best playoff game of the year!" Larry Bird came out to speak unwillingly after being eliminated.

"Kobe's basketball IQ is so terrifying. He counts Richmond to death." Perhaps only a few people have seen Kobe's hunt for Richmond! Grant Hill is one of them.

Take a bite first! Let it run again, consuming all physical energy and bleeding every last drop of blood! Then eat him!

This is how Kobe played this game!

Grant Hill never thought basketball could be played like this.

"This is what I want, the future of basketball." Stern watched the game between the Jazz and the Lakers repeatedly with eyes burning.

A wide space for attack! Fierce offensive and defensive confrontation! Stars and tactics are interdependent! The game between coaches! Smooth game rhythm!

This is the basketball fans love to watch the most!

This is the future of basketball!

"Coach, are we really not going to change our tactics?" Stockton, with a stubble on his face, asked his coach with vicissitudes of life.

Sloan glanced at his proud disciple and sighed.

In this series, if Kobe continues to defend Stockton, all his protégé can do is become a spot-up shooter.

This is simply an unimaginable devastation to the arrogant Stockton! If the series can be won, Stockton may be able to accept such a result, but no matter how you look at it now, the Jazz are at a huge disadvantage!

Although the winner of the last game was not decided until the last half of the quarter, Sloan knew that the Lakers still had a lot of cards!

Whether it is to replicate last year's victory, put the big man in the starting lineup, or completely hand over the offense to O'Neal, letting O'Neal play IN-OUT will be a very troublesome response for the Jazz.

Harris hasn't made a big splash yet! There is a trend that the Jazz cannot deal with.

This gave Sloan a headache.

The Jazz only has one trump card.

Once that card is played, there is no way out. If you don't succeed, you will succeed. Jerry Sloan didn't dare to use that tactic directly in G2!

Now! It’s not time to use that trump card yet!

In the second game, Sloan wanted to try again! Try the tactics from the last game again.

After preparing for the Lakers and Kobe for so long, even if he unfortunately lost the first game, Sloan felt that he could try again. If you give up after just one game, then the Jazz's arrangements in training will be in vain!

But in this game, Richmond can't be allowed to bear so much pressure on the defensive end. Russell is defending Kobe! Richmond helps defend against the attack!

Sloan hopes that this will reduce Richmond's consumption and allow him to play until the end!

As long as Richmond can hold on and prevent Malone from fighting alone! Then the Jazz may defeat the Lakers!

May 16, 1998, Lakers VS Jazz, Great Western Arena, GAME 2!

"Win! The Lakers won again!" Magic shouted loudly!

The plot of G2 is very similar to the first game!

In the first half, it was still Kobe who teamed up with the whole team to attack Marlon Richmond!

This time, the Lakers led by 5 points at halftime.

Jazz 63:68 Lakers!

Because the defender was replaced by Russell, Kobe's handling of the ball became stronger and easier. Richmond's physical advantage is still very obvious, but with Russell, Kobe doesn't have too many worries!

Breakthroughs just got easier! Richmond also didn't seem to have fully recovered from the physical exhaustion in G1. It may also be that he was not good at assisting in defense, and Kobe played very easily.

The first half of the series! Kobe didn't play without the ball in the second half!

Playing without the ball in G1 was to consume Richmond's physical energy, while in G2 facing the defense of role player Russell, Kobe's choice was to blast everything!

The third quarter became Kobe's personal offensive performance!

Scored 26 points in a single quarter! Almost completely tore the Jazz's defensive arrangement to pieces!

And the fourth quarter! Marlon Richmond, who had high hopes from Jerry Sloan, still couldn't match Kobe's scoring efficiency in the pick-and-roll!

The defender changed from Richmond to Russell! Kobe's performance has gone up a notch!

Can't help it!

Kobe scored another 19 points in the fourth quarter! 45 points in the second half!

52 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers, leading the Lakers to defeat the Jazz again!

Jazz 117:133 Lakers!

The Lakers scored 130+ back to back!
