My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Harris, the Suns have replaced the starters. Do we need to let our starters play?" Rambis suggested to Harris when he saw that the Suns had adjusted their lineup after being overtaken.

"No hurry, let's see Kobe's performance." Harris wanted to see how the Lakers' substitutes performed against other starters.

The Suns' starting lineup is led by Kevin Johnson, who just turned 30 at the peak age of a point guard. 3-time All-Star. Selected to the All-NBA Second Team 4 times and to the Third Team once, he is the leading point guard in this era.

With a height of 1.85 meters, extremely fast speed and precise shooting are his style of play. In the third year of his career, he played a super point guard data of 20+12.

Bryant still man-marks the ball handler, which is Kevin Johnson.

Kobe didn't have many opportunities to face this great point guard in his last life. When Kobe reached his peak, this player was no longer as brave as he used to be. Kobe wants to take a good look at this point guard who claims to be second only to Magician and Stockton.

Kevin Johnson was in control of the ball. He saw Kobe Bryant leading the bench to overtake the score just now, and he admired this energetic kid very much. But they are rivals now, and Kevin Johnson wants to teach Kobe a lesson.

A gesture was made with the left hand, and Danny Manning and AC Green Qi Qi raised it.

"Damn it, double pick-and-roll." The double pick-and-roll tactic is very suitable for the situation where the opponent has a tall center and the defense is difficult to come out, especially when the team has a stable shooter, it is more practical.

Kevin Johnson found the defensive loopholes of Tyrese Knight, the Lakers' substitute group, at a glance. Although he is tall, he lacks speed and strength. With his slow footsteps, he couldn't pull out of the penalty area at all.

Bryant sprinted through the pick-and-roll, barely keeping pace with Kevin Johnson. But Kevin Johnson jumped up and threw the ball to Danny Manning, who was unguarded in the mid-range, and the latter made an easy mid-range shot.

Kobe frowned, AC Green and Danny Manning both have good mid-range shots, and Tyrese Knight can't defend, this is troublesome.

"Hey, kid. Welcome to the NBA." Kevin Johnson shouted to Bryant, who hadn't forgotten the scene where Kobe taught his younger brother Steve Nash just now.

Kobe was a little irritated. After halftime, Sam Cassell was defending him. The alien Cassel is only 1.91 meters tall, and Kobe intends to eat him by force.

After a lap around the baseline, Bryant was in position at the pivot. After receiving the ball without too much entanglement, he turned over and shot a jumper. Cassell was completely unable to interfere with the leaping Kobe, and the ball crashed into the basket.

"This kid...and his post-up skills?" Harris felt that Kobe was giving him more and more surprises, and this turnaround jumper was exactly the same as Jordan.

Kevin Johnson dribbles across half court only to find Fisher in front of him.

"Oh? That high school student of yours doesn't want to guard against me? Leave this job to you? It's not a good job."

With firm eyes, Fisher clapped his hands on the ground and shouted, "Come here!"

Kevin Johnson was amused by Fisher, and suddenly accelerated and broke through Fisher's defense.

Ben Wallace stepped forward to defend, Kevin Johnson repeated his old trick, passed the ball to Danny Manning, and a figure came out from the flank and almost succeeded in stealing the ball.

Under Kobe's defense, Danny Manning couldn't find any opportunities in the middle distance. When he passed the ball to Cassell, the Lakers' rotation defense was in place, Bowen covered him, the time was up, and Cassell missed a shot under Bowen's interference.

In the last round, Kobe called his teammates to change their defensive strategy. Still defending against breakthroughs and not shooting, forcing people to Ben Wallace to make up defenses. After being broken, the outside players quickly rotated. The disadvantage of this defensive strategy is that it is easy to cause open outside shots, and it takes a lot of energy to run back and forth to defend.

Kobe Bryant's defensive strategy of pincer rotation was slightly effective. Although from time to time due to lack of proficiency, there were big gaps, but the Suns did not make too many offensive climaxes. All five of the Suns have good offensive capabilities, and the current Lakers' bench is hard to lock down.

On the offensive end, Bryant didn't feel any pressure. So he continued to use his back to force Kassel in the middle distance. Kassel, who was too short, had nothing to do with Kobe. After hitting consecutively, the Suns even began to double-team the rookie.

Kobe calmly connected the team's offense under the double-team, and distributed the ball to Fisher Bowen who was open outside. The scene became back and forth, both sides maintained a high offensive efficiency, and at the same time strictly guarded against the opponent's fast break.

"They didn't lose the wind." O'Neill opened his mouth wide on the sidelines. They were just beaten by the sun in the starting lineup. However, the bench led by Kobe and a group of rookies played back and forth with the Suns.

Harris compared Kobe's performance with the starting players, and began to have some thoughts in his heart.

Coach Suns called a timeout, and he figured it out, and Cassell acted as Kobe's cash machine. He quickly replaced Wesley Person, the tall and strong shooting guard who defended Kobe just now.

The Lakers replaced the bench and replaced the starters, allowing Cotton Fitzsimmons' punch to hit the open space.

Bryant off, O'Neal stepped forward to give him a warm high five.

"Dude, you played really well. Let's watch mine next." O'Neill winked. This little brother will definitely be his right-hand man in the future.

"Wait and see." Kobe also grinned.

The starters who played again finally got on the right track under the stimulation of Kobe and his team. Consecutive high lob passes, straight to the basket, O'Neal holds the ball, and when double-teamed, he divides the ball to the outside shooter.

On the defensive end, without the firepower of the alien Cassel, the threat posed by the Suns is also much smaller. At halftime, the Lakers lead 57:49.

Changing sides to fight again, the Lakers still firmly control the rhythm of the field. A top center is the best rhythm regulator. When the ball is in O'Neal's hands, the Suns cannot bring the rhythm of the game up.

A group of substitutes led by Kobe still slaughtered each other in the second half. Seeing that the victory was hopeless, the Suns did not struggle too much in the preseason.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won again at 91:77. Kevin Johnson was unable to recover, while O'Neal's 22 points and 12 rebounds and Kobe's 18 points and 6 assists were double stars.

"Hey, Steve, to be honest, let's play football together when we have time." After the game, Kobe found Nash, who had been targeted by him miserably.

Nash's face turned black, he really didn't want to talk to Kobe who targeted him for the whole game, but good upbringing still allowed Nash and Kobe to exchange communication numbers.

In response to everyone's reminders, I will explain that the author is currently in Wuhan, and there is no way to print the mailing contract. Therefore, there is no recommended place, and it is nowhere in sight to be on the shelves. I wrote this book entirely out of love.

At present, there is only one new book list that can be seen by readers. If the book has too many words, no one will be able to see it. So I hope everyone will vote and collect more. When the epidemic situation stabilizes and the contract can be printed, it will definitely explode after it is put on the shelves for everyone to enjoy.
