My Name is Kobe Bryant

"What, your coach still asks you to guard me? What about Kobe?" Grant Hill held the ball at the top of the arc, leaning slightly to the left, posing in a relaxed three-threat posture.

"It's enough to have me." Bruce Bowen still put Grant Hill one step away. Grant Hill's long-range shooting ability is not strong. Er's breakthrough is the most lethal.

As for three-pointers, Hill only took 0.4 three-pointers this season, which is nothing to be afraid of.

"You? Not enough to see." Grant Hill said confidently, as if it was a fact.

Then, Grant Hill used cash to prove that what he said was the truth!

Break through! With absolute confidence, Grant Hill crushed Bruce Bowen's defense, hung on Bowen and rushed to the basket, suddenly took the ball, stayed in the air, and threw the ball.

"AND ONE!" With a roar, Hill's throw shot hit the backboard, and then fell into the basket.

Kobe on the sidelines shook his head. This is the crushing of absolute talent, but Bowen has improved. The behavior of challenging the inside line can still be used in this way.

"Ben! Pay attention to the defense!" Kobe shouted from the sidelines.

Ben Wallace gave a thumbs up, Kobe didn't say that he was also ready to start assisting defense, there was absolutely no need for the bench lineup to stick to the third-rate role players of the Pistons.

Now the Lakers' bench lineup is to let Bowen play the third position, Horry tops the power forward, and Ben Wallace tops the center. Tyrese Knight goes off.

In this way, the team is a standard small lineup, and the offensive speed and rotation speed will be accelerated. Harris wants to use a faster pace of offense and defense to consume Grant Hill, who leads the bench.

"Bring up the rhythm! Accelerate! Accelerate!" Grant Hill's 2+1 did not stop the Lakers' offense from the bench, and immediately pushed back to the frontcourt after Hill hit a free throw.

The basketball moves quickly, with only two or three passes, an attack will be completed within 10 seconds, and a large number of outside shots make the pace of the game very fast.

The Pistons are pressing the rhythm, and Grant Hill controls the ball to ensure the success rate as much as possible.

Facing Ben Wallace's double-teaming, Grant Hill found that his offensive pressure increased sharply!

What's going on, this guy's defensive awareness and lateral movement speed are too fast!

Grant Hill drove to the rim, twisted, and scored with an improbable reverse pull-up layup.

almost! He was almost taken by Ben Wallace!

Harris folded his arms and smiled on the sidelines, Grant Hill, you have fallen into a cage without knowing it.

In the contest between the two substitutes, the Pistons had an extra Hill, so they had a slight advantage, but the fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions and Ben Wallace's defensive threat made Hill exhausted.

What Harris wants is this situation, consume Grant Hill, drag the game to the end, and then use Kobe and O'Neal to decide the outcome!

In the past 4 minutes of the second quarter, O'Neal took the lead to play, received a pass from Horry, dunked strongly at the basket and scored 2+0, announcing his strong return.

Immediately after Kobe appeared on the stage, the offensive performance began!

The score at this time was Detroit Pistons 33:27 Los Angeles Lakers, the point difference has expanded to 6 points.

After Kobe came on the court, he used his back first, and he backed Joe Dumars from the three-point line!

"Are you Barkley?" Joe Dumars was stunned, and was caught off guard by Kobe and pushed to the free throw line. Then Kobe's shoulders faltered, and then he took a step across and threw the ball in with a graceful backward shot.

Picturesque!

Although this is only a two-pointer, Kobe's graceful and coordinated shooting movements like a textbook still attracted a burst of cheers from the fans of the Great Western Forum Arena.

At the same time, this is also a signal, they know that Kobe is going to start attacking hard.

Sure enough, Kobe was invincible. After more than half a year of hard training, his strength was finally able to not be suppressed in front of Joe Dumars!

When the power attribute is not suppressed, then Kobe is the strongest form!

20 years of technical experience can all be displayed! Even the old-fashioned Joe Dumars had nothing to do with Kobe. Kobe had a trick all over the world, and he scored 11 points at the end of the second with just a turnaround jumper.

Score in a row! Joe Dumars can't interfere with Kobe's back-up skills at all, and Kobe's fiery touch has repeatedly made difficult turn-around jumpers!

"My board!" O'Neill jumped high, picked up Eddie Jones' shot from the basket, made a one-handed dunk in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket!

Grant Hill snorted, a little envious of the Lakers, who have so many outstanding players.

In the Detroit Pistons, he was both a father and a mother, and it was really hard to play.

At the end of the second quarter, under the efforts of Kobe and O'Neal, the score was recovered to the Detroit Pistons 48:41 Lakers.

The Lakers scored only 41 at halftime! It's not that the shooting percentage is not high. On the contrary, Kobe and O'Neal's shooting percentages are quite good, the reason is the offensive rhythm. The Pistons kept the offensive tempo to a minimum, playing every ball for almost 24 seconds, resolutely not giving the Lakers a chance to counterattack and play fast breaks, so that the Lakers, who averaged the first fast break points per game this season, have no chance in this game. Fast break opportunity.

Kobe scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the half, and the low-tempo game made him feel very unhappy. Joe Dumars was completely unable to interfere with him. Kobe felt that in the second half, Joe Dumars should be able to play more easily after his physical decline worsened.

"Bruce, you did a good job." During the halftime break, Harris rarely praised Bowen's defense. Even though he had allowed Grant Hill to score 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the half, Bowen's defense did give him a good impression. When it came to Hill's pressure, it made his offense not so easy.

This is completely enough. Harris knows that it is impossible for Bowen alone to guard against the fiery Hill. As long as he can consume him like this, the tactical purpose has fully achieved its effect.

Bowen clenched his fists, feeling a deep shame.

Why? Why? The shame of being powerless even with all your strength.

Damn it, damn it. Is there really no way to prevent Hill?

Kobe patted Bowen on the back. What he needs at this time is the silent support of his teammates. As long as he can come out, his defensive skills will enter a new level.

And if you want to win the championship, you must need Bowen's defense at its peak strength!

These hardships are the best whetstones, and Kobe firmly believes that Bowen, who has experienced these, will go further.
