My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 99 The End of Magic

"Fight back! Penny!" At this moment, a group of high school students gathered around to watch the game at Montesaone Christian School.

A high school student with a slender body and eyes that could not be opened clenched his fists. On the TV, his idol Penny is being eaten by Kobe infinitely.

"Tracy! Don't think about it, your idol Penny can't beat Shark and Kobe!" The young people sitting in a circle inevitably had Lakers fans.

Although he has just played about 20 games, Kobe, whose style of play attracts fans, has already gained a lot of small fans.

"Impossible, Penny is the strongest."

"Penny can't do without the shark."

McGrady pursed his lips stubbornly. He always believed that his idol was the strongest.

And Orlando, Penny, who returned to the field after a timeout, had flames in his eyes.

After being reprimanded by the coach and questioned by the general manager on the sidelines, he had no way out.

You want to fight! Then fight!

Hardaway's eyes were different, and Kobe saw it, and immediately took a defensive posture.

This opponent! Don't be careless!

Penny fiddled with the basketball back and forth, as gently as he would his own lover.

Moved! Hardaway, who seemed to be strolling in the back garden, started off in the blink of an eye, with a speed as fast as thunder, and the audience on the sidelines seemed to see afterimages!

If Grant Hill's breakthrough is compared to the rising sun, the panic is irresistible. Then Hardaway's breakthrough is a bolt from the blue!

At the moment you least expected, a thunderbolt exploded, changing the color of the world.

Too fast, too sudden, Kobe has never seen such a good combination of movement and movement.

Faster than the first half! Kobe was able to interfere to a certain extent last time, but this time, Kobe was completely overwhelmed!

After Hardaway broke through Kobe, he raised one hand high, faced O'Neal's supplementary defense, and scored with a throw.

Throwing is a common technique for small guards, and it requires extremely soft touch. It can still maintain the touch at such a high speed, and it is impossible to defend such a tall throw.

The basketball crossed a high parabola and fell into the net.

Is this your true strength?

At this moment, Kobe felt the same aura from Penny Hardaway as Grant Hill, the aura of a superstar.

Hardaway returned to the half without saying a word, as if he wasn't the one who beat Kobe and O'Neal this time.

"Kobe, don't be careless. Hardaway is the man who defeated Jordan and Pippen." O'Neal knew Hardaway well. When he focused on attacking, even Jordan and Pippen couldn't lock him together.

It turns out that Hardaway is stronger than expected.

But so what? Kobe Bryant firmly believed that he was always the strongest.

Offensive and defensive transition, Kobe singled out Hardaway at the top of the arc!

At this time, all tactics were left behind by Kobe.

1 on 1, face to face.

Killing, killing the heart!

Kobe's eyes were cold, and Hardaway was not afraid to meet his eyes.

Tentative step! Simple techniques are full of changes. After taking a tentative step to the right, Kobe can keep up with more than a dozen changes according to the defender's movements. The more variables, the more difficult it is to defend.

Bryant's tentative step was just a start, and Hada was ready to retreat to the left.

wrong! Kobe's tentative step to the right was transformed into a step to the left, a step back and a three-point shot!

hit!

So strong, I've never seen such a strong rookie, especially his aura, as if he wants to kill me!

Hardaway secretly reflected that he was disturbed by Kobe's indomitable momentum at this tentative step, and his reaction was too violent and he retreated too much.

Offensive and defensive transition, Hardaway in the same position, suddenly accelerated again.

This time it was stopped by Kobe!

With the same trick, how could Kobe have no precautions, retreated continuously, and would rather release the shooting space, Kobe still stopped Hardaway's breakthrough.

Hardaway had no choice but to make a super long-range mid-range shot.

Miss! O'Neal grabs the rebound and passes it to Kobe.

Kobe sprang out like a black panther! The vigorous posture went straight to the Magic's half court!

There is only one person on the court who can keep up with Kobe's speed.

Penny Hardaway ran back to the restricted area!

brake? It didn't exist, Kobe went straight to Hardaway.

Going to hit it! Hardaway stood outside the reasonable collision zone, and he was already waiting for the referee to give Kobe an offensive foul.

Kobe collected the ball, turned around in an instant, and swiped past Hardaway as if oiled, and made a low-handed layup under the basket.

Hardaway attacked again, with the help of Ronnie Seikali's cover, he went to the basket, twisted his body and scored the ball.

Kobe handed the ball to Eddie Jones, settled in the elbow area, and scored with a behind-the-back jumper!

Hardaway hits the shot!

Kobe breaks through dunks!

What is superstar duel, just look at this game.

Two stars in the same position and with a similar physique exhausted their eighteen martial arts skills and scored against each other.

This is the charm of the NBA. The audience on the sidelines, the audience in front of the TV, and the audience in front of the radio cheered for the two stars. At this moment, the home team and the away team are not important, and the outcome is not important. Enjoy the superstars. The magic show is the only thing the audience can do.

For the first time, Kobe felt that he was playing so smoothly, and it was so rare for an opponent like Penny.

Too strong, the performance of both players was too strong.

"This kind of duel should appear in the finals!" Jerry West sighed in the office.

"I can't wait to play against them." The God of Chicago, his hands were itchy.

Strong confrontation can often burst out more beautiful sparks.

In the third quarter, Kobe scored 17 points in a single quarter and Penny scored 14 points in a single quarter! The performance of both of them is worthy of the title of superstar.

The Lakers still maintained the lead, leading by 8 points at 81:73.

In the fourth quarter, the coaches of both sides were very conservative and used substitute lineups in the opening stage.

Hoss Grant, who won a big contract this summer, was pinned to the ground by Ben Wallace's big palm, which became the epitome of the fourth-quarter substitute matchup.

In the first half, Horry stepped up as a substitute who had no touch, scored two goals in a row, and then assisted Fisher to hit a three-pointer.

90:75! This score can basically be sentenced to death!

The doubles started playing, Kobe began to press the tempo, and Hardaway wanted to bring a fast tempo!

The two top talents showed their influence on the rhythm of the game. They put away their offense and began to influence the game by controlling the rhythm.

In the end, the Lakers relied on the dual-core advantages of Kobe and O'Neal to firmly stabilize the score, and Hardaway's efforts were in vain.

104:91. The Lakers won an away game in Orlando.

Kobe scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists for the top point guard, while O'Neal scored 35 points and 12 rebounds.

Penny Hardaway's performance was the only highlight of the Magic, with 27 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Very comprehensive and excellent.

But like so many games this season, it didn't give the Magic a win.

The panting Penny Hardaway was a little unwilling. Even if he changed his style of play and threw up the team basketball, would he still not be able to win?

"Penny! You played great." O'Neill gave his former little brother a hug.

"Shaq, maybe you were right to leave." Hardaway felt helpless in his heart and turned into a sigh.

Kobe came through, this is the most even match he has faced this season, and Penny deserves a better future.

"Hardaway, do you have a sore left knee?"

"Did you see it?" Hadaway smiled wryly.

"Don't play with an injury, your knee will be useless."

"If it were you, would you leave the team behind to recuperate?"

"I do not know either."
