My Name is Kobe Bryant

At the beginning of the game, the referee threw the ball high. This time, Big Ben lost the jump ball. Will Perdo's super long wingspan won the jump ball for the Spurs.

Little general Avery Johnson dribbled the ball forward steadily, defending him was fisher Fisher.

Fisher tried to attack Avery Johnson's dribble, but it was useless. The experienced little general helped each other firmly with the ball, waiting for his teammates to move.

Dominique Wilkins, who played extremely well in the last game against the Lakers, asked for the ball in the elbow area, and the general passed the ball immediately.

Dominique Wilkins VS Ben Wallace!

There is no nonsense between the two of them! The start is to do it!

Wilkins leaned back against Big Ben, felt an extraordinary force, and then turned around wisely.

So fast!

Big Ben is still preparing to fight! He didn’t stop, and he lost his position!

Wilkins' back-up skills may not be top-notch! But his experience is the best power forward Da Ben has met this season.

It took only half a second to complete the seamless switch by pushing back and turning around, and reached the basket for a throw, which solved the offense.

Clean and crisp, Wilkins' years of career have left out all the tedious and unnecessary tricks.

0:2. The Spurs got off to a good start.

"Another one!" Bryant received a pass from Fisher at the top of the key, guarded by small forward Sean Elliott.

"Teaming!" Popovich yelled from the sidelines, and Mad Max quickly threw Eddie Jones in the corner to double-team.

too slow!

Kobe didn't pass the ball!

Catch the ball in an instant! Kobe took a big step to the right with explosive force, followed by a large fadeaway jumper!

Step back jumper!

The shot was completed before the double-team was even formed.

"Shua!" The clear and crisp sound of entering the basket made Kobe smile. The feel of this game seems to be very good.

Popovich on the bench frowned. Kobe's offensive choices were too fast, and even double-teaming was difficult to solve the problem.

what to do? How to solve this Kobe?

It was a headache that would haunt Popovich for two decades, waking him up from a dream of Kobe hitting a fadeaway and sneering at him.

For the second ball, the Spurs chose a pick-and-roll, the general and Wilkins picked and rolled, and then split the ball outside Madman Max.

Max tries, no chance, pass to Sean Elliott on the cut.

Elliott cut to the basket, the layup was interfered by Ben Wallace and missed.

Kobe couldn't help sighing that Big Ben in his rookie season was really a godsend, and his upper limit and lower limit were too far apart.

Another attack, the second ball, Kobe and Eddie Jones played a hand-off, Kobe feigned a shot in the elbow area, and jumped up to pass the ball to Fisher.

Three-point hit.

"Oh yeah! Levi Babe!" Fisher jumped happily. Under Kobe's urging, Fisher, who had undergone devil training, had greatly improved his ability to open three-pointers, catching up to the peak of his career.

"Shut up!" Kobe went over and stroked Xiaoyu's bald head.

"Stop masturbating! I'm still waiting for my hair to grow out!"

grow out? Want to get out of the bald gang? Want to reverse?

Kobe sneered.

Stop dreaming.

As long as I'm on the team, you all have to be as bald as I am!

In the next attack of the Spurs, they began to try outside shots. Crazy Max ran empty-handed and received a three-pointer.

Just when he was about to make a shot, Kobe had already gotten rid of the pick-and-roll and stuck in front of him.

"Difficult to deal with." Max is not an idiot, in this position, if he makes a move, he will give Kobe a risk!

Get the ball in Wilkins' hands again!

Still the same elbow area, still the same back body.

Wilkins VS Big Ben rematch!

The same is the top! Try turning around and cutting in!

This time Wilkins was seen through by Daben, firmly stuck in the position, and stopped the ball after a violent reload.

Wilkins is a little unbelievable! Make a strong jump shot!

"Crack!" Ben Wallace bounced quickly. His bullet speed was so amazing that he took the ball off Wilkins the first time he shot it.

The two tangled and fought over the blocked basketball, and eventually the referee blew his whistle.

Scrimmage!

Kobe nodded in satisfaction. Ben Wallace's defensive enthusiasm is very good. This kind of defense can boost the morale of the whole team.

Ben Wallace easily won the jump ball.

"Damn!" Wilkins was very dissatisfied. As long as he was five years younger, or the Achilles tendon had not been ruptured, the result of this ball would not be like this at all!

He will use a mid-range shot with a super high jump height, **Ben!

Instead of being covered!

Even a jump ball! Wilkins asked himself that he would not lose to Big Ben in his jumping at his peak.

Time is not forgiving, and Wilkins is very envious of a young rookie like Da Ben.

The Lakers attacked again, Kobe used the pick-and-roll, cut to the basket, pulled the backhand, and scored two more points.

Can't help it! Popovich tried a variety of methods, there is no way to prevent Kobe!

Bryant's scoring climbed steadily, unhurriedly, unlike the explosive scoring or interruptions of the past, because he integrated the offense into the team.

"Kobe played too smart." Harris felt that such a basketball IQ should never appear in a rookie.

Handy!

This is what the audience watching Kobe's game thinks. As long as he has the ball in his hand, everyone thinks that Kobe can find a way to get the basketball into the basket.

Every attack of Kobe has spare power, not an explosive flying style of play, but a bit of floor flow.

A few crotch dribbles, empty-handed runs, turnaround jump shots, and easily scored.

Whether it is a single defense or a double-team, Popovich has no way to contain Kobe.

And the offensive efficiency of the Spurs is not bad. After Popovich's training, they play very layered. Every player has the opportunity to touch and handle the ball. Wilkins and Big Ben played well. A 50-50 split, neither side can suppress the other.

Elliott scored more points. The small forward used his height and wingspan to overwhelm Eddie Jones and scored consecutively at close range.

With the progress of the game, the outcome has been divided. The Spurs, who were determined to be bad, gave up the game and started targeting Kobe instead.

If two people can't guard against it, then three!

Kobe didn't force himself when he saw this, and began to rationally connect his teammates to attack.

After halftime in the fourth quarter, both sides replaced all the starting players, and the game entered garbage time.

Lakers 99:82 Spurs.

Kobe played 31 minutes, made 15 of 26 shots, scored 38 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

In the end, due to limited playing time and limited confrontation intensity, Kobe still did not complete his 30 shots.

Popovich smiled wryly, what can he do for a shooting guard like Kobe.

"Bobo, your coaching is great. See you next time." After the match, Coe cheerfully found Popovich. Sure enough, no matter what time it is, defeating this old man is a pleasure!

"You also played very well." Popovich squeezed these words from his teeth, and I believe he will always remember this moment.

Kobe, who was still a rookie, and Popovich, who was still a rookie coach, completed their first match in their careers at the end of January 1997.
