I am Really an Insider

Chapter 160 157 Shaq is indeed right (5K votes requested!)

Kobe had 25 points at halftime, but the Lakers trailed by 11 points.

This is probably a microcosm of the Lakers' season.

After watching half of the game, O'Neal felt much happier.

What else is there to say? Wayne really sucks.

This is the first time O'Neal has seen someone who can make Kobe angry by talking trash.

Although Kobe's 25 points in the half seemed very cool, it was actually a good thing to put him into unlimited singles.

Is it possible that Kobe Bryant can still score 70 or 80 points in a single game?

It’s not realistic!

O'Neal is really impressed by Wayne. I don't know if he can become the best player. O'Neal.

But he definitely deserves a place in the Trash Talking Hall of Fame.

The last time the Heat beat the Pacers, Wayne complained about Wade being autistic.

This time, it's Kobe again.

Can you believe that this is just the strength of a first-year rookie?

Just by talking trash, O'Neal thinks Wayne is enough to make the rookie first team!

At this point, Wayne didn't know he was getting O'Neal's praise.

But he knew that Kobe had played very hard.

The Lakers' rotation under Hamblen is simply the most classic main force that fucks to death.

As expected of me, I started my career with a Zen master, and my personality has been cultivated very well.

Zen Master called a timeout and I lost, while Han Bron called a timeout and I lost.

Since he took over the Lakers, except for the incompetent Mihm, the other four members of the Lakers' starting five have often played around 40 minutes or even more than 40 minutes.

In the second quarter just now, Kobe played the entire quarter.

Therefore, if you say that Kobe's consumption is not great, that is impossible.

Artest only focused on defense today and almost paddled all the time on the offensive end. He was already so exhausted.

Kobe had to attack and defend at the same time. No matter how hard his physical strength was, he would exceed his limit.

No one can compete with Artest for 40 minutes in this period, not even Kobe!

So in the second half, if the Pacers want to win firmly, the best way is to send Artest to continue to be beaten!

"Why are you all looking at me like this?" Artest found that everyone looked at him strangely.

Full of admiration, but with a hint of compassion.

"Ron, you are doing a good job. The organization will remember your contribution." Wayne, who was sitting next to Artest, patted Artest on the shoulder.

Tonight, I would like to call you Gangtai!

"Ron, continue to restrict Kobe in the second half. You did a good job in the first half. He has started to hit the iron continuously. If you keep it up, we will be able to escape from Los Angeles." At this time, even Carlisle also spoke.

Artest rubbed his ribs, which were bruised by his elbow, and wanted to cry but had no tears.

Captain, Xiao Ao has become the captain.

Kobe, Wayne sprayed.

But it was me who received the hardest beating.

Artest couldn't help but look up at the lights in the locker room, with tears in his eyes.

"Well, I'll get on with it, guys."

At this time, Artest felt that his image was quite tragic.

If he wants to make a documentary or write an autobiography in the future, he must tell this paragraph vividly!

The first sentence begins with: "At that time, the Pacers were facing the biggest disaster. Then, the whole team was counting on me!"

At the beginning of the third quarter, although the Lakers trailed by 11 points, the fans in Staples Center were still enthusiastic.

Kobe seems to have regained his physical fitness at this time. At least on the surface, you can't tell that he feels tired at all.

But what surprised Kobe was that No. 91 was actually the same as him.

When Kobe passed the midfield line with the ball, Artest remained calm and the intensity of the confrontation did not drop at all.

He still clamped down on Kobe, regardless of physical strength or consequences.

"Oh, it's really difficult!" Kobe cursed secretly. He had no choice but to give the ball to Odom.

Don't get me wrong, Kobe didn't want to give up this scoring opportunity, he simply wanted to beat Artest without the ball.

Kobe does need a lot of shots, but he doesn't necessarily need the ball.

Even without the ball in his hands, Kobe can still score.

Without the ball or with the ball, Kobe has no problem.

Kobe leaned on Artest and sat in the middle distance, seemingly trying to hit Artest with his back.

At this time, Kobe was not yet fully developed as a back-up player, but he was not completely incapable of playing.

Artest tried his best to hold up Kobe and prevent him from catching the ball.

But at this moment, Kobe suddenly pushed Artest and ran away immediately!

Reggie Miller looked at it and thought, oh, I’m following the same example.

Because he pushed Artest away, Kobe got a shooting opportunity after running out.

Odom tacitly handed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe caught the ball and shot!

Let’s get the point difference back to single digits!

"Huh?" Kobe was about to take action when his vision suddenly went dark.

Although Kobe's anti-interference ability is extremely strong, it does not mean that he can directly ignore the defense.

Being hit so suddenly still disrupted Kobe's shooting rhythm.

The basketball finally deflected a little, hit the side of the basket and bounced out.

Keep shooting!

In the Staples Center, the continuous blacksmith concerto was really played.

"Wei, his defense turned Kobe's almost certain goal into a blacksmith."

The commentary provided by the American commentators has no originality and no passion.

To really listen to the commentary, you have to listen to CCTV’s guidance Zhang.

"Although Kobe didn't score this goal, we have to play like this!"

This goal made Coach Zhang feel mixed in his heart. On the one hand, Wayne played excellent defense against Kobe, and he was happy.

But on the other hand, Kobe missed the shot and he was a little sad.

This is probably called the Two Heavens of Ice and Fire.

"Don't try to score easily again, Kobe. We're about to close the game. You have no chance."

"Haha, I missed this shot purely because of my bad touch. It has nothing to do with your weak defense, Chu'er."

"Soft? Are you sure?"

"Is it possible that you still think you are a tough guy?"

Kobe and Wayne exchanged some words with each other, and Wayne found it quite interesting!

Meeting an opponent who can fight you back and forth is much more interesting than an opponent who only knows how to take advantage of you.

This time the Pacers attacked, Wayne set up an off-ball screen, Miller cut out, and after receiving the ball, he shot.

But Kobe also immediately defended his opponent, causing Miller to miss the shot.

Although it was Miller who interfered, Kobe glared at Wayne after completing his defense.

Damn it, kill Mi Zhenwei?

"Kobe can actually complete such a defense, as if he will never get tired. The Lakers counterattacked, Lamar Odom shot from the mid-range on the right, and Wayne pounced on it in time, interfering with Lamar's jump shot. ,still none!"

"Brat" Kobe watched Wayne actively chase after him and complete the defense. Although he was very unhappy, he suddenly felt that he admired that kid?

Although his mouth is a little bit broken, his attitude is indeed worthy of praise.

Well, Kobe is such a strange person.

The more you make him uncomfortable, the more he appreciates you!

"I said you have to do it yourself, Kobe. Don't expect anyone to help you. They can't help you."

The same goes for Wayne. Although it was Odom who interfered, it was Kobe who complained.

The bar is up, the bar is up, the bar is up!

Kobe is both angry and excited now. This kind of opponent makes him feel very satisfied!

Therefore, when Wayne broke through Odom and entered the penalty area this time, Kobe immediately shrank back.

He's going to get to know this No. 99.

Wayne's shot was very beautiful. It was still a breakthrough after using a triple threat action to shake off Odom's center of gravity. Skill is better than explosive power.

After the breakthrough, Wayne did not notice Kobe and Artest at the top of the key.

He thought that Kobe wouldn't come all the way in to defend him.

So, when Wayne took off for a layup, he saw Kobe's face.

In terms of height and wingspan, Wayne has the advantage.

But in terms of jumping, Kobe is undoubtedly better than the current Wayne.

In the air, Kobe tried his best to reach the ball in Wayne's hands, but he always missed it by a little. Wayne only needs to gently throw the ball towards the basket to complete this layup.

But at this moment, Wayne felt something suddenly hit his ribs.

"Woot!" Wayne's originally soft touch was no longer soft. Kobe, you are so cruel!

Oh, I seem to do this to others too

Under Kobe's veritable "strong" interference, Wayne's layup also missed.

The two sides fell into a vicious circle of crazy fights with each other.

"How's it going? I told you that you're a weakling, and this is the result of playing against me." After landing, Kobe immediately took off twice to grab the rebound, and then continued to spray!

"You are just like what Shaq said, hahahaha." Wayne rubbed his chest. Although it hurt, he still responded.

If you give in at this time, others will slap you on your nose.

"Shaq? What did that guy say to you?"

Before Kobe got an answer, Wayne quickly retreated.

This time, Caron Butler fired from outside the three-point line, but still failed to make a shot.

The rim at Staples Center is under more pressure than ever.

The offenses of both teams are very fast, but they are very chaotic. They often take action before the formation is even established.

"What on earth did Shaq say to you!?" Kobe took advantage of the transition of offense and ran to Wayne again. Wayne now really affected Kobe's mentality.

However, Wayne just smiled and shook his head and did not respond.

Just hang him like this and drive him crazy!

This time, Payton stabilized his rhythm on the court. Now that the Lakers are lagging behind, there is no need for the Pacers to play fast with them.

Wayne stepped forward to cover, preparing to play a classic PG+PF combination with Payton.

Kobe was focused on making Payton or Wayne pay regardless of who got the chance.

Payton used the screen to break through, but Wayne did not cut in, but bounced outside the three-point line.

Odom immediately pressed forward and cut off Payton's passing route to Wayne.

However, Wayne did not sit still and immediately ran to the right corner.

Odom was about to follow, but bumped into O'Neal.

No ball screen!

"Get rid of it, Payton broke through and scored, and Wei in the right corner was completely missed!"

The on-site commentators couldn't help but applaud. Payton and Wayne's cooperation had already been played with so many variables by Carlisle.

Wayne catches the ball and shoots, but how can Kobe let Wayne go so easily.

Since you don’t say it, I’ll hit you until you do!

Kobe jumped towards Wayne with all his strength. To block this kind of shot from an anti-aircraft turret, it would be impossible to interfere without taking off with all his strength.

However, after Kobe flew into the air, Wayne took the basketball back and put his tiptoes back to the ground.

"Fake shot? But there is no chance!" Kobe flew straight towards Wayne, still staying in front of Wayne. Even if Wayne wants to take action again, he will be interfered with.

Now, Wayne has two options.

Either pass the ball or draw a foul.

But at this time, Wayne calmly bent down and took a step to the right.

He chose to take the third path!

"I'll rub it!" Just like that, Kobe, who jumped too hard, rolled over the back of Wayne, who was hooking his waist, and fell directly to the Pacers' bench.

But Wayne was not affected. After Kobe fell out, he still took the shot calmly and hit a three-point shot.

"Oh my God, Kobe didn't fall lightly on this ball. He rushed too hard!"

"Wei made no problem with this shot. This shot was similar to the one when Wang Zhizhi made Garnett have 12 stitches on his head. But in fact, both Wang and Wei's actions were very clean.

I just hope Kobe won't be as tragic as KG. "

After making the shot, Wayne turned his head and glanced at Kobe, who was lying next to him. At this time, Kobe's upper body fell out of bounds, but his legs were across the court.

Wayne really didn't do any dirty work just now, otherwise Kobe would have fallen even worse.

Strictly speaking, Kobe committed a defensive foul on the ball just now.

Everyone thought Wayne would pull Kobe up, and even Kobe vaguely felt so.

However, after seeing that Kobe was fine, Wayne stepped over Kobe's legs!

Everyone was shocked, that was Kobe Bryant!

The most vengeful and competitive man in the entire league!

Wayne actually stepped over him!

Although it was just across his legs, the humiliation index was not that high, but it still made Kobe grit his teeth.

"Protect yourself well. You're injured. What fun is there in this game?" After stepping over, Wayne shrugged at Kobe.

Kobe was shocked. He suddenly felt that Wayne's ranking on his "hatred list" had surpassed Ray Allen and was second only to O'Neal and Malone!

But the key is that Kobe hates Wayne, but at the same time thinks he is really tough enough.

If Wayne had just reached out to Kobe, Kobe might have felt that Wayne wasn't that special.

What a jerk! Feeling angry and secretly happy at the same time.

Wayne's three-pointer gave the Pacers a 12-point lead.

Kobe stood up again with Odom's help, looking disgraced.

Carlisle looked at Kobe's angry expression and silently praised Wayne.

Artest looked at Kobe's angry expression and cursed silently.

After being humiliated by Wayne, of course Kobe chose to play singles!

But this time, Kobe failed to get rid of Artest, and his steps were obviously much slower than in the first half.

The physical strength of the physical monster has begun to decline!

"Oh!" Kobe was unwilling to let Wayne win just like that?

So unhappy!

So, Kobe leaned on Artest and forced a layup.

Can this goal be scored? Even for Kobe, it's a bit too difficult.

But the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

Kobe threw himself out and yelled.

"ah!"

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle and Kobe went to the free throw line!

"Damn, did I commit a foul? He hit me on purpose!" The emotional Artest hurriedly yelled at the referee.

On the other hand, Wayne's heart was untroubled.

It doesn’t matter, you have never seen the future “Kings of Porcelain” play.

"Kobe Bryant stood on the free throw line. He has made 32 consecutive free throws without missing a beat! In the first two games against the Celtics and Mavericks, Kobe made 12 of 12 free throws and 16 of 16 free throws respectively!

Coupled with today's 4-for-4 shooting, Kobe's free throw shooting percentage is really terrifying.

Let's see if Kobe can continue his record! "

Kobe took a deep breath, stood at the free throw line, and wiped his hands on his jersey.

He raised the basketball, paused, stared at the basket, and then slowly raised the ball over his head.

Regarding free throws, Kobe is still very confident and has not missed 32 consecutive free throws. This is not an achievement that just anyone can achieve.

"Shaq said Wade's breakthrough was ten times better than Kobe's."

But just when Kobe was about to take action, Wayne's voice came to Kobe's ears leisurely.

"This" Kobe was furious when he heard this.

That bastard Shaq!

O'Neal: "Why do you feel like Kobe is scolding me?"

"Duang!"

The basketball hit the front of the basket, and Kobe, who lost his rhythm, missed the first free throw!

What Wayne just said is no less powerful than what Pippen said to Malone, "The postman doesn't work on Sundays."

"What!? Kobe actually missed the first free throw. His record of 32 consecutive free throws ended here."

Kobe was out of breath, and the double torture of physical strength + Wayne made it impossible for Kobe to completely calm down and defend.

There is no one in this world who is not affected by trash talk.

Well, if I have to say it, Duncan may be an exception.

"I didn't expect that you could only rely on your elbows to defend. It seems that Shaq was right."

Immediately afterwards, Wayne launched a second round of offensive.

In the past, countless players chose to provoke Kobe when he took free throws.

But most of them end in failure, and those who are unlucky will be criticized by Kobe.

But today, Wayne was victorious.

"I didn't make the second free throw, what happened!?" The on-site commentator was confused. From making 32 consecutive free throws to missing two free throws, what on earth did Kobe go through?

When Kobe's free throws began to be affected, it can be seen how far his mentality has collapsed.

The last thing he wants to hear is for people to say Wade is better than him.

This is not because Kobe hates Wade, but because this statement is a denial of him.

If Shaq and Wade are really more successful, doesn't that mean he is the Lakers' cancer?

In the following games, Kobe's shooting percentage continued to decline.

His impatient mood, coupled with the physical energy consumed by Artest, greatly reduced his offensive stability.

Although the free throw shooting percentage has not collapsed, it has also dropped a lot.

On the other hand, the Pacers have stronger physical strength than the Lakers, so they are getting smoother and smoother.

When the game entered the 10th minute of the fourth quarter, Stephen Jackson's breakthrough layup put the Pacers ahead of the Lakers by 18 points!

"There were two minutes left in the game, but Kobe looked overwhelmed. I thought this game was probably sealed."

Watching Jackson score, Kobe looked helplessly at the big screen.

40 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, but the shooting percentage was only 38%.

At this point, Hamblen stopped the game and replaced Kobe.

He didn't want Kobe to take risks anymore for the slim possibility of victory.

With Kobe's personality, he will definitely rush wildly regardless of the risk of injury, and this is not what Hamblen wants.

So, Kobe exited. This also means that the Los Angeles Lakers raised the white flag!

Before leaving the game, Kobe took a look at No. 99, who was brave enough to fight on the court and was bad to the core.

I don’t know why, but Kobe suddenly felt that it would be great to have such a teammate around him.

Thanks to Chen Ye alone and woofer for the tip, thank you~
