My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Kobe!" Before the game started, Reggie Miller found Kobe with a wicked smile on his face.

"?"

"Are you ready to be blocked by the strongest shield in the league? How many points are you going to score in this game? 20 points? Or 10 points? I bet you can't score more than 25 points." Reggie Miller muttered.

"?"

"Haha! You don't dare to speak, do you? The great Pacers will become a haze that hangs over the entire league! No matter whether they are superstars or ball kings, they will only become a beast that cannot be captured when they encounter us!"

"Oh." Kobe nodded and continued shooting practice.

humiliation!

Reggie Miller's blood pressure soared in an instant!

Even though Reggie Miller's historical status is far inferior to that of Kobe, he was still an extremely bright star in the 1990s! He is Michael Jordan's main rival (self-confessed), and he is the pioneer who created the league's three-point ball-free running game!

I am such a big boss! You, Kobe, are ignoring you!

If this wasn't Los Angeles, Reggie Miller would have wanted to go up and punch Kobe Bryant twice!

"Come on, come on." Bowen pulled away Reggie Miller who still wanted to say something.

"Farke! Bruce! I'll kill you in this game! I'll kill you!" The enemies became even more jealous when they saw each other! Reggie Miller screamed, slightly losing his temper.

"Okay, I got it, I got it." Bowen looked helpless. Why does Miller like to humiliate himself so much?

There are too many players who provoke Kobe, but which one ends well?

"Forget it, Reggie, forget it." Kidd quickly pulled Miller back.

The point guard has always been a legendary character in a basketball program.

What is a point guard? The one who controls the ball!

There is only one basketball, and the player who controls the ball played the most important role on the original basketball court.

In the ancient basketball era, because there were no rules such as three seconds, ball interference, three-pointers, etc., the role of the point guard was to pass the ball to the big man.

This style of play that exists to serve other players is the most traditional point guard.

They control the tempo of the game, make their teammates more comfortable, control the team's turnover rate, and are the first line of defense against opposing offensive players.

Kidd is such a traditional point guard.

Maybe his statistics are not luxurious, but his role on the court is magical!

You must know that Kidd is a man who can keep pace with Grant Hill in his rookie season.

The point guard has always been the brains of the team, and countless legendary coaches were born as point guards.

As a sober player, Jason Kidd knows who he can mess with and who he can't.

Even if Reggie Miller is the totem of this team, Kidd is not willing to let him anger Kobe!

Angry Kobe and normal Kobe are two different players.

"Jason! Why did you pull me away?" Miller angrily.

"Be patient, Reggie. Close the door and let Artest go." Kidd whispered softly next to Miller.

Reggie Miller's eyes lit up.

That’s right!

How can I compare with Ke?

We have the strongest perimeter defender in the league - the beast Ron Artest!

"Ron! It's all up to you later! You are the team's hope for victory!" Reggie Miller began to walk next to his younger brother Artest and began to crazily feed Artest chicken soup.

The young and energetic Artest was praised as the savior of the team!

The master of this game!

The strongest shield of the alliance!

Artest's face turned red: "Look at me, Reggie. I will definitely help you get revenge!"

"Yao, in this game you will face off against the fastest center in the NBA." D'Antoni was explaining to Yao Ming on the sidelines.

Jermaine O'Neal!

The 25-year-old weighs 2.11 meters and 113 kg. He started playing at the age of 18 and 1 month. He is the youngest player in the history of the NBA.

His talent is undoubted!

His dynamic talent is the best in the entire league, not even worse than some forwards!

At the center position, O'Neal Jr. is slightly slower than Big Ben, a short and atypical center, but he is faster than other players in the entire league!

Don't think his name is O'Neal and think he is a bulky center.

O'Neal Jr. is the fastest center in the entire league!

As for Yao Ming, what he fears most is this kind of highly mobile insider.

In particular, O'Neal's strength and defensive sense are not weak at all.

O'Neal Jr. is Yao Ming's nemesis.

D'Antoni was mentally prepared that Yao Ming would be blown away.

"It should be noted that his defense is the same as Garnett's and can cover the entire three-point line. Your mid- and long-range organization and shots will be greatly affected."

"Understood." Yao Ming nodded. He also knew something about O'Neal Jr., the strongest center of the 1996 golden generation.

This season's center rankings include Shaq O'Neal, the tough guy Mourning, and then there is O'Neal Jr., who can attack and defend the Pacers.

finally!

Game start!

O'Neal and Yao Ming walked to midfield.

Jumping the ball, O'Neal instantly rose from the ground and won easily!

Kidd advanced with the ball.

In this game, the Lakers' defensive matchup was Xiaoyu - Reggie Miller, Kobe - Kidd, Bowen - Artest, Wu Sheng - Harrington, Yao Ming - O'Neal.

Minnow is going to guard the old Miller who is aging and only acting as a shooter.

And Kobe went to defend the absolute core of the Pacers, Jason Kidd!

Kidd watched Kobe coming in front of him and smiled bitterly.

Damn old Miller!

Provoke Kobe! In the end, it was me and Kobe who faced each other!

"Jason!" O'Neal Jr. walked briskly and pulled outside the three-point line to pick and roll with Kidd.

Kobe and Yao Ming contracted at the same time.

After Kidd completed the pick-and-roll, he found that O'Neal had removed him, but there was no defender in front of him.

Bet?

Kidd's three-point shooting percentage this season is also 34.1%!

Averaged 3.6 shots per game and scored 1.6 goals.

And it can't be considered as basic but not offensive.

But if he takes action, Kobe will definitely be able to catch him and interfere more or less.

Kidd doesn’t feel like he can maintain a shooting percentage above 30% in this situation.

There is no way, give it to Reggie Miller.

Miller pretended to make a three-pointer without taking a shot and passed it to Artest.

Artest did a crab step and went for a layup against Bowen, but was interfered by Bowen and missed.

"It seems that the Pacers' offense is still a little difficult to face the Lakers." Goodrich, who was sitting in the commentary box, said.

"The Pacers are not a strong offensive team, defense is their foundation!" Barkley was a little excited.

As time goes by, the league has more and more offensive teams and fewer and fewer strong defensive teams.

The only two teams that can be called top defensive teams this season are the Pacers and the Spurs.

The Spurs are a defensive system supported by Duncan alone.

The Pacers are very clear team defense.

"Let's see what the Lakers' offense will look like when faced with the league's strongest shield!"

Lakers attack!

The little fish advances!

Leave it to Kobe after halftime!

Kobe faces Artest!

Artest's eyes are fierce! Muscle knots!

"Ron." Kobe looked at the green-headed Artest in front of him and really felt a little nostalgic.

In his last life, Artest was also impressed by Kobe, and later became a player that his teammates also respected Kobe.

Of course, Kobe always felt a little embarrassed about Artest's tendency to come over and chat with him while he was taking a shower.

"Come on! Kobe! Duel like a man!" Artest roared.

Kobe raised his eyebrows. This scene appeared countless times during training.

Of course, Kobe beat Artest every time.

This is why Artest is so convinced of Kobe.

This time, it’s no exception!

Kobe took a step outward from the three-point line, and Artest followed immediately!

The next moment Kobe speeds up!

Artest can resist Kobe's path! The unicorn arms waved up and down!

It looks fierce to outsiders! Fierce!

And Kobe saw Artest's flaw at a glance!

Emergency stop! Kobe directly faked the shot!

Artest was shaken up!

Kobe leaned on Artest and threw the ball directly!

"beep!"

"AND ONE!"

familiar!

Kobe looked at Artest's disbelieving expression and felt more and more that this scene was very familiar!

Artest was bullied countless times during training, and his expression was like this!

Fierce yet silly!

"Be careful! In front of you is the most powerful fake master in the NBA." Kidd pulled Artest and said. Kidd was panicked. If Artest was beaten by Kobe, he would have to defend Kobe.

Every time I defended Kobe, it was a painful memory.

"Kobe's hand feels very good today!" Goodrich is a shooter, and he can see that Kobe's hands are very hot!

2+1, fadeaway three-pointers, jump shots after various feints.

Kobe executed Ron Artest, a young defensive powerhouse.

Kobe played too easily!

Goodrich even had the illusion that Kobe was playing a training game, not a strong confrontation between the second in the Western Conference and the second in the Eastern Conference!

After halftime, Kobe had made 11 of 18 shots and scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists!

Crazy scoring performance!

The Lakers also took a slight lead.

Pacers 42:47 Lakers!

The scores for both sides are not high!

Kobe's 25 points seemed terrifying!

"Damn it! How does that guy feel like he can predict all my defensive habits?" Artest has already committed three fouls. This is because Kobe was playing casually and did not deliberately cause fouls.

"Can't you handle Kobe? That Asian big man made 1 of 4 shots in the first half and only scored 2 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists!" O'Neal muttered dissatisfied.

"Don't just focus on the big man, you should also help guard Kobe Bryant from the double flank!" Reggie Miller said.

"At least two people are flanking Kobe, you still want me to come?" O'Neal Jr. directly pushed back.

Larry Bird rubbed his temples with a headache.

Little O'Neal didn't learn anything else from the old hooligans of the Portland Trail Blazers, but he learned everything about being unruly.

Plus the old bastard Reggie Miller.

Artest is a stupid young man.

Without the sensible Kidd and Harrington, these Pacers are simply a group of gangsters!

The Pacers have started a crazy double attack on Kobe, but it doesn't have much effect.

Larry Bird knew this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

At this time, Kobe seemed to let Larry Bird understand the psychology of the players who had faced him.

Powerless!

No matter what method you use to defend, one person, two people, or three people, Kobe will always be able to throw the damn ball in the end!

The defensive system that the Pacers were proud of and the personal defense that Artest was proud of were completely useless in front of Kobe.

The strongest shield.

The Pacers guarded the Lakers' second core Yao Ming and the Lakers' run-and-gun system, but they couldn't guard Kobe.

Kobe easily destroyed all the doses alone.

The slogan "The Strongest Shield" is like a joke in front of Kobe.

"Is this the strongest player in history?" Larry Bird has always disagreed with the statement that Kobe is the strongest player in history. In his eyes, he was the strongest during his peak period.

Above and beyond! Kobe, Jordan, Magic, Russell, Chamberlain!

King B must have such confidence.

Every legendary superstar feels that he is the strongest. Without this kind of confidence, you cannot achieve greatness.

But Larry Bird now feels impressed by Kobe!

powerful!

Sweep everything!

No matter what the team lineup is, how the teammates perform, or the strength of the opponent.

Just sweep it all by yourself and push it flat!

It seems that as long as he wants to, he can easily score 50+60+, and if he is under pressure, he can score 70+.

How many points Kobe scores depends not on defense, but on how many points he wants to score.

Larry Bird even had a feeling that if Kobe really let go and completely ignored the team's victory, he could average 50+ per game!

The Lakers locker room was filled with cheers. Except for Yao Ming, who was a little downcast, the other players were very excited.

"So what about the strongest shield?" Xiaoyu's eyebrows danced with joy.

"That old Miller guy is really not very good."

"Kidd was struggling under the defense of his boss."

"If you ask me, we are the strongest shield!"

The Lakers players were laughing and making a fuss.

And suddenly, Pelinka ran into the locker room with his cell phone.

"BOSS, I think you have to listen to this call." Pelinka looked serious. He knew that Kobe's habit was not to look at his phone or answer calls from an hour before the start of the game to the end of the game.

This is Kobe's way of staying focused.

Social media can cloud your judgement, and it's important for a player to maintain peace of mind.

But when Pelinka asked Kobe to take the call, something very important must have happened.

Kobe picked up the phone and walked out of the locker room.

"Hey! Brat!" Old Qiao said in a very loud voice.

"Old Joe, what's wrong?" Kobe was a little surprised, because Old Joe never called him during games. This is a tacit understanding between father and son. No one knows what basketball players need to do better than Joe.

"What's wrong!!!??? You ask me what's wrong!! Vanessa is going to give birth!" Lao Qiao's words almost came from the other end of the phone.

Kobe was stunned for a moment.

"Is she okay?"

"It's not a big problem, but she's about to give birth, and she said she doesn't want to interrupt your game! But this is a big deal! We're getting a new member of the Bryant family!"

"I understand, I will come as soon as possible."

Kobe hung up the phone.

His eyes became sharp.

The game needs to end early.
