My Name is Kobe Bryant

Danny Ainge calculated that O'Neal would explode, but he didn't expect O'Neal to blow up the Suns' inside line at all! The inside line of the Suns is not too weak, with Danny Manning, Kevin Willis, Holt-Rod Williams, Mark Bryant and a group of giants, but O'Neal's outbreak made Kevin Willis and Danny Manning, the two starting insiders, both had two fouls and ended up resting in less than half a quarter.

"Damn, damn." Danny Ainge can't live without rice. As a recruit coach, his adaptability is not very good, and he relies more on the team's two on-court brains, Kevin Johnson and Jason Kidd. Make on-field adjustments.

But the inside line was pierced by Shaq O'Neal, what adjustments can the outside players make? Kevin Johnson looked helpless, his two breakthroughs were blocked by Kobe, he was able to fight against Kobe in the preseason and the beginning of the season, now he feels that Kobe's defense is completely helpless.

One reason is my own injury. I have just returned from injury, and my explosive power and speed have not recovered. It is difficult for me to recover to the peak at my age.

Another reason, Kobe's progress is too fast!

This progress is all-round! Traverse speed! Hand pressure! Fight against the power!

Kobe has made considerable progress in these three aspects, which has raised Kobe's perimeter defensive pressure to another level. Kobe deserves the title of the first player in the league in point guard defense.

Try again, Kevin Johnson gritted his teeth, the team needs to open up the situation by itself as a rusher, and the running tactics alone will not be able to play momentum and recover the score.

Even knowing that he is not Kobe's opponent! But Kevin Johnson has his own pride.

accelerate! change direction!

Unfortunately, Kobe stopped him again this time!

Bryant puts a physical confrontation and takes the ball out of Kevin Johnson's hands!

Live grab!

Immediately after stealing the ball, he accelerated, and no one could keep up when he rushed to Phoenix's half court.

In this empty half, Kobe is the only player!

Two steps to collect the ball inside the three-point line!

Jump into the air, a windmill with one arm!

"Boom!" The basketball was smashed straight into the basket by Kobe without even making contact with the basket. The sound of the basketball breaking through the net and hitting the ground is so crisp.

"My God, the way Kobe flies into the air is so elegant, it makes me feel refreshed. If the dunks of most players in the league are like eating steak, they are brutal, violent and full of power. And Kobe's The dunk gives people the feeling of eating ice cubes, it’s so cool! The heart is flying!" The magician can be said to be the league’s top scorer, and as a partner, he praised Kobe as a person who spared no effort.

"MAGIC, although Kobe's windmill one-arm dunk is very beautiful, it reminds me of Dr. J's dunk. But your steak ice is too ridiculous." Westphal couldn't help complaining, the magician put This national live broadcast became Kobe's presentation.

"Aren't you hungry? Paul, it's Christmas Eve. Wouldn't it be nice for me to talk about this and serve the audience?" The magician spoke plausibly without feeling embarrassed at all.

"Well, you're right." Westphal covered his head. The Lakers beat Sun on the court, and he was beaten by the magician in the studio. Could it be that Sun was naturally restrained by the Lakers?

After Kobe's slam dunk, the score between the Lakers and the Suns came to 21:13. And this has just passed half a quarter, and the dominance effect formed by the crazy O'Neal on the offensive end and the invulnerable Kobe on the defensive end is really terrible.

Most of the Suns' scores came from the cooperation of Kidd and Sabalos, who played several times in a row at the beginning. But when the Lakers began to shrink the defensive line, Kidd and Ceballos, two players who did not have a stable long-range shot, were embarrassed.

Especially when the team's two shooting insiders were taken off the field by O'Neal and the Suns were replaced by Holt-Rod Williams and Mark-Bryant, the Suns' offensive space on the court became even more crowded. Danny Angie couldn't help scratching his head looking at such a space.

This is not the basketball I want! How did my team become like this!

constipate!

The Suns' offense can only be described in these two words. Five players without three-point ability are crowded together, and the Lakers' taller and stronger physique can suppress them to death.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 35:22. It was almost a massacre without suspense. O'Neal had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, and Kobe had 6 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists and 2 steals.

The substitute players came on the field, and Horry showed no mercy to his former owner. He hit a three-pointer on the field, and then organized a series of Fisher and Van Exel to attack successfully. The three musketeers on the Lakers' bench have become the core of the league's bench lineup. reaper.

As long as you use the bench, there is almost no way you can stop the Lakers' three Musketeers on the bench. A series of three-pointers is enough to destroy you. If you start with a substitute, the Lakers don't care. Even if you lose points, it consumes your main force's energy anyway, and Kobe and O'Neal can chase after you.

On the Suns bench, Nash still organized the offense in his own way, so that the scene would not be too ugly. Nash's shooting ability was very good in his first season. The three-pointer and Van Exel's confrontation made the Sun fans on the sidelines feel gratified.

When they started playing, the total score had reached 49:34. Some of the fans at home even left at halftime. There was no way for them to watch their beloved team being tortured and killed during the Christmas festival.

When the starter came on, Bryant dropped Kevin Johnson and went straight to Ceballos, who received a pass from Kidd.

Ceballos just pushed Bowen away, ready to turn over and shoot a jumper.

come down for me!

Kobe jumped high and cleanly fanned Ceballos' jumper out of the field! Give this unconvinced Lakers veteran a Christmas spicy hot pot set meal.

This ball Ceballos feels very familiar, as if there was an exact same scene in the team training game. At that time, he was still a Lakers star, and Kobe was just a young rookie.

How did it become like this now?

Kobe has actually seldom assisted in defense this season. The Lakers' inside defense is enough to defend against most opponents. The ones that cannot be defended are players such as Olajuwon.

So Kobe's assisted defense this time is a purposeful revenge!

Danny Angie looked at the ashen-faced Ceballos, and finally made up his mind!

Changes!

And as soon as it changes, play big! Since we are so far behind, it doesn't matter if we lose more!

3 defenders!

Phoenix's field lineup became PG Steve Nash, SG Kevin Johnson, SF Jason Kidd, PF Cedric Ceballos, C Danny Manning.

Play a small lineup! Everyone can handle the ball!

You are so good at Kobe, how many people can you guard against?

Since O'Neal can't be guarded, Angie decided to give up on O'Neal and fight each other! fast paced! start running! Can O'Neal run a whole game even if he is so good?

This lineup really caught the Lakers off guard when it came up. Neither Harris nor Kobe expected that the Suns would put three point guards on the court at the same time. Nash's shooting and passing the ball brought the team's rhythm to a higher level at once, and the offensive space was also opened up a lot. The Suns continued to play fast offense.

The Sun's offensive method is to quickly serve from the bottom line after O'Neal scored a low-post offense. Kidd made a long pass to the Lakers in the half court, and completed the offense before O'Neal and Campbell returned to the court.

The Lakers were stunned at once, and at the end of the second quarter, the Suns seized the opportunity and seized the opportunity. A beautiful 15:8 counterattack wave was played, and the audience who were about to leave the field sat back on the sidelines again.

Lakers 57:49 Suns. The Suns entered the second half with less than ten points difference, and their small lineup worked wonders! If the Lakers can't respond effectively, then this Christmas game will be a classic comeback!
