My Name is Kobe Bryant

During the intermission, O'Neill was laughing and playing with Van Exel, and the atmosphere in the locker room was extremely relaxed.

Rambis walked into the locker room, "Guys, I have two news for you. Bulls 107-98 Celtics."

"This is expected." O'Neill disagrees, he believes that only he has the ability to beat the Bulls. In fact, in the four years since Jordan's comeback, only Hardaway and O'Neal have beaten them in the playoffs.

"This year's No. 1 pick, Allen Iverson of the 76ers scored 30 points and 6 assists in the first game against the Bucks, 12 of 19, 2 of 4 three-pointers."

Kobe's face changed. Iverson's phenomenal debut performance was much better than Kobe's performance in the first half.

Kobe doesn't want to lose to Iverson, and Kobe doesn't think he is worse than this year's No. 1 pick. He can score 30 points, can't Kobe do it?

Kobe's fighting spirit was aroused by Iverson's performance, and there was still halftime left in the game against the Suns. How can I make myself outperform Iverson?

"Hey, Kobe. Iverson played well, but I don't think you are worse than him, do you understand?" O'Neal saw that Kobe's face was a little bit wrong, and stepped forward to comfort him.

"Shaq, in the second half, I'll be the main attacker." Kobe gave Shaq a fiery look. O'Neill was a little taken aback. It was the first time he saw the young and mature Kobe showing such eyes, and he nodded subconsciously.

No, isn't today my Lakers debut? How did I give Kobe the right to attack? Forget it, the great Shaq is willing to train Kobe like Penny Hardaway. It's just one game, and the scene has already led by 22 points, so let this kid perform.

"Head, as you expected. Kobe was stimulated after learning about Iverson's performance." Rambis secretly found Harris.

"Very well, it seems that this kid has a very strong sense of competition." Harris deliberately asked Rambis to stimulate Kobe, wanting to see if Kobe would care about it.

Halftime was fleeting, and Bryant stepped onto the court. It's the Suns' possession.

Kevin Johnson looked at this rookie boy who was covered in air-conditioning, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that they were 22 points behind? No, we are behind.

Kevin Johnson's performance in the first half was very good. Kobe's body completely covered him, and Kobe, whose speed was not weaker than him, made it difficult for him to get comfortable shots. The young Kobe was not afraid of confrontation at all, and repeatedly took the initiative to bump into Kevin Johnson.

Of course, Kevin Johnson will not be caught without a fight. He continuously trained the Lakers' insiders Campbell and O'Neal with the help of dislocation after the pick-and-roll.

The whole world knows that O'Neal is unwilling to jump on the pick-and-roll. Kevin Johnson scored 12 of the Suns' 40 points in the first half against the Lakers inside.

Kevin Johnson discovered in the second half that Bryant's defensive strategy was different. He began to quickly raise his personal defense from outside the three-point line, and he was very aggressive. Kevin Johnson failed to break through in consecutive disguises.

"Damn it, are you sick? Leading by 22 points and playing so hard." Kevin Johnson couldn't help cursing at Kobe.

Bryant did not respond to Kevin Johnson, he is now full of Iverson's 30 points. And Kevin Johnson's stature and skills are somewhat similar to Iverson, so Kobe can't help defending with all his strength.

Kobe is very experienced in dealing with this kind of small point guard, and confrontation is a very important point. You have to physically hit each other all the time to keep them out of the paint and block shots.

The oppression of Kobe in a regular defensive state and Kobe who is fully marked is completely different, and Kevin Johnson feels it. Kobe's pressure was so strong that it reminded him of Payton the glove.

Kevin Johnson still called a pick-and-roll, and AC Green secretly grabbed Kobe with his hand when he raised the pick-and-roll. Kobe was immediately blocked. These are the small defensive moves of the old fritters who have been in the league for many years. The referee can't see these small moves in his field of vision.

Kevin Johnson cut into the middle distance with small steps, and O'Neal shrank under the basket. After being humiliated many times by the American point guards of the NBA in the early days, O'Neal finally understood that the best way to be a big man who doesn't want to be the background board is to hide in the paint.

Kevin Johnson jumped up and made a mid-range shot. This happened many times in the first half.

wrong! As soon as the ball was shot, a vigorous figure jumped high. You are waiting!

Bryant walked around Green and came to the back of Kevin Johnson, a sturdy volleyball cap, and Kevin Johnson was dumbfounded.

The shot was picked up by O'Neill, and O'Neill quickly played the ball and passed it to the fast-down Kobe. Kobe swung past Michael Finley at the three-point line and slammed the ball into the hoop.

Falk, this kid is a beast. O'Neill is crazy, such a fiery performance can not be seen in Anfernee Hardaway who is as quiet as water.

Harris stood up from his seat and led the applause to Bryant from the bench. Kobe's offensive and defensive performance against All-Star backcourt Kevin Johnson was too good. How much energy is contained in this kid's body.

The bench and the audience are crazy.

"This No. 8 is my son, it's my son!" Old Joe jumped up, and Kobe's old-fashioned style of play in the first half made him a little unhappy. Old Joe is a show-loving person, and he has already regarded himself as a showman during his career in the NBA.

Kevin Johnson's face was livid, and it was too embarrassing to be blocked by a rookie player. He knew that on the big stage in Los Angeles, this scene would soon be played repeatedly on every TV in every household, and even be made into a poster.

"The Beginning of the Legend" Kevin Johnson has even thought about what kind of headlines these damn media will write.

Kevin Johnson didn't dare to attack again, and passed the ball to Michael Finley, who made a steady hit under Ceballos' eyes.

Kobe glared at Ceballos angrily. It is an insult to the Lakers team that this player can still start. But thinking of some things West had said to him in private, he endured it.

Kobe took over the game offensively without much action. No tentative steps, no feints. Simply rely on the height advantage to shoot a jumper over Kevin Johnson, and Kevin Johnson has nothing to do with Kobe.

17 points in a single quarter was Kobe's answer in the third quarter. Kobe made three 3-pointers. Even under the double-teaming of the Suns, he still forcibly hit multiple difficult jump shots regardless.

"Damn, damn. You have nothing to do with an 18-year-old kid? We can lose to the Lakers, we can lose to O'Neal, but we can't lose to a high school rookie!" Cotton Fitzsimmons, the head coach of the Suns, said. All the players roared.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe continued his fiery touch. Facing the strict defense of the Suns, he made a quick shot before the double-team was formed. The Suns moved more and more. Harris worried that Kobe was injured and hurriedly replaced all the starters in the third minute of the fourth quarter.

Kobe hit a mid-range shot and a three-pointer in the fourth quarter. The total score came to 31 points! Just surpassed Iverson. The audience data was 31 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. All-star guard Kevin Johnson was eclipsed in front of him.

The game ended with the Lakers 112:78 Suns.

The Great Western Forum arena was boiling. While they welcomed O'Neal, they also harvested a young outside talent rookie.
