My Name is Kobe Bryant

In the past 4 minutes of the third quarter, Jazz 72:87 Lakers, because Jerry Sloan chose to double-team Kobe, the Lakers' outside shooters were empty, and the score was further opened.

Sloan adjusted his tactics and chose to defend Kobe alone.

And from this moment on, there was no suspense about the game.

single defense?

Stockton?

Kobe didn't need to run without the ball at all, and just started with the ball.

"The Jazz didn't attack Kobe with the ball! They couldn't take the risk of letting the top shooters like the Lakers open and attack Kobe. Now the point difference has reached 15 points. If they score 20 points, then the game will not continue. It makes sense. At the Lakers’ home court, the Lakers will not give any team a 20-point comeback with such a good touch. They have the double insurance of Kobe and Shaq, and they will never have to worry about offensive interruption.”

Kobe did not break through the frame against Stockton. Stockton is shorter and the two-time steals champion is not a joke.

Standing back is not enough, don’t look at Stockton as a white guard, his strength is definitely at the BUG level, he and Malone’s favorite thing is to work hard in the gym, Stockton’s unicorn arm ratio Kobe has a big circle.

Then pick and roll!

Return the body of the person in the way of the person.

O'Neal raised the ball, and OK single-blocked the screen.

Stockton chose to go behind the pick-and-roll to cover. Shaq's wall is too wide in lateral area, so it is not so easy to get ahead.

Kobe just drew his gun and shot!

Three points!

Hit again!

Nine consecutive three-pointers!

"Nine three-pointers! So far in this game, Kobe has scored nine consecutive three-pointers! UNBELIEVABLE! I have no words to describe it. There is only one thing that this game may prove, and that is that Kobe is not a human athlete. "

"MAGIC, that's why I asked you to practice more three-pointers." Tiangou patted the magician. If this fat boy worked harder and practiced his shooting, then SHOWTIME would definitely have more than 5 champions.

"Hey!~Karim, my three-point shots never drop at critical moments!" The magician is right, his shot-like three-point shots have actually had many ultra-long-range three-point shots. The picture of killing, maybe this is the ability of superstars, no matter whether they are good at it or not, if this skill is needed at a critical moment, then you can enter!

"Nine three-pointers, my dear, Kobe is going to break the record." Ma Fu looked at it, and the current record of three-pointers in a single game is nine three-pointers created by Kobe, which is now tied, so Next, we can expect Kobe to create a new history!

"Witnessing the legend is really embarrassing." The magician shook his head.

"MAGIC, there will be many such moments in the future." Tiangou smiled slightly.

The Jazz bit the bullet and continued to play, but Stockton still forced the ball to Malone. Malone's movements became bigger and bigger, and Horry had no choice but to be run over abruptly. While being crushed to the ground, he was called a defensive foul because of his unsteady footsteps. Malone scored 2+1, so Horry made 5 fouls.

Horry wanted to play as much heat as possible before leaving the court. Kobe gave him the ball and pressed himself to the elbow.

"This running position is a bit like a triangle offense. Horry acts as a version of Pippen with enhanced shooting ability."

Kobe received a pass from Horry at the elbow area, took advantage of his height advantage to turn over and make a jumper, and hit it again.

Next, Malone attracted double-teams, passed the ball to Hornacek, and Hornacek made a three-pointer.

The scoring efficiency of both sides is very high, and they entered the offensive situation again at the beginning of the third quarter.

Kobe seized the opportunity and stepped back for a three-pointer, but missed a hit. The record of consecutive three-pointers hit 9 goals.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I came out of the basket. I almost made ten consecutive free throws. You must know that it is already a very difficult thing to make ten consecutive free throws, let alone three-pointers."

"Kobe has a chance to create a record that no one can break, but it's also exaggerated now. I don't think anyone can break the nine-pointer in a row."

Malone grabbed the rebound, handed it to Stockton, pushed himself down, sat on Horry with his buttocks, turned around and crossed his elbows as soon as he caught the ball, made a strong hit, and made 2+1 again!

Malone's superb performance was not concealed by Kobe. He is the biggest reason why the Jazz have not collapsed completely until now. He has scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

After Kobe's consecutive mid-range record was interrupted, more came to the middle distance, using height and back-up skills to attack Stockton. Stockton's defensive pressure was still sufficient, and Kobe didn't want to make wild shots and cause the Jazz to fight back. If Kobe was so young at this time, he wouldn't care about anything.

Kobe is looking for opportunities, and the three-point shot will never be indispensable.

Horry and Bryant handed each other, and Bryant feinted to cut in, then stepped back and made his tenth three-pointer of the game.

"Ten! Ten three-pointers! Kobe set a new single-game three-pointer record! This moment will be written into history!"

Even Stockton, who is the most resolute, has cold sweat streaming down his forehead non-stop.

this

He has lost his ability to think a little bit. Stockton thinks that his defense has no loopholes, but he is still penetrated by Kobe time and time again. In the third quarter, Kobe made 2 of 3 three-pointers, but made 4 of 6 two-pointers. He turned over and made a fadeaway jumper, which made Stockton, who was short and weak in jumping, sigh.

That's why he was tricked by Kobe's inside cut and took a step back to give Kobe room for his tenth shot.

At the end of the third quarter, Kobe found an opportunity again, ran empty-handed, and with the help of O'Neal's pick-and-roll, he directly caught the ball and turned over and shot.

Again, 11 three-pointers!

Malone has beaten Horry down, and the Lakers' lineup has been replaced by O'Neal and Campbell with the inside. This lineup is also relatively easy for Kobe. The existence of two high-quality walls allows him to play more off the ball.

Then Kobe made another three-pointer and missed.

The third quarter is coming to an end, the Lakers' lead is as high as 18 points, and the confrontation between Kobe and Malone is the melody of the third quarter.

O'Neal also charged Utah center Ostertag for his fifth foul in the paint, and Sloan replaced him. The Jazz continued to double-team Kobe because Horry and other shooters were replaced, and the Lakers' offense shifted to Shaquille O'Neal.

O'Neal scored consecutive baskets and directly opened the score to 20 points.

Kobe finally gave the Jazz a fatal blow, a final ball.

The last 8 seconds of the third quarter.

Under the pincer defense of Stockton and Russell, Kobe received the ball from the backcourt and dribbled the ball to the midfield LOGO.

Push the ball out with one hand.

Basketball across a nearly perfect arc.

into the basket.

buzzer.

12 three-pointers.

The difference is 23 points.

Stockton fell to the ground with his head in his arms in despair.

Malone angrily threw the towel handed to him by the caddy on the floor.

Jerry Sloan was silent.

In the fourth quarter, both sides tacitly did not replace the main force.

Jazz 98: 127 Lakers victory.

Kobe made 16 of 25, 12 of 15 three-pointers, 51 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

Everyone else became a supporting cast, including superstars like O'Neal and Malone.

The carnival at the Great Western Forum seemed to win the championship.

70 wins! The Lakers got it!

Kobe Bryant scored 51 points and hit 12 three-pointers in the key battle of 70 wins against Utah, the second place in the Western Conference. This is a miracle.
