My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Wait? You said I was dunked by Kobe?" O'Neill had just recovered from the joy of victory, and he was surprised by the words of the reporter interviewed after the game.

"That's right, Shaq, the image of you being dunked by Kobe may be selected as the annual image of this year's playoffs! This shot will not be avoided in the promotional videos of the subsequent series."

"Me! Me! That's me and Kobe winning the game together! That's me helping Kobe get Kemp and Jim McElvine! Without me, can Kobe catch the rebound?" O'Neal's face There were bursts of panic, and serious nonsense began.

"It turned out to be Ashak! That's great, you will be happy to see this scene in the newspapers and on TV later! It's a good memory for you and Kobe."

"Yes... yes... I will be very happy." O'Neill's facial features curled into a ball, as if he had eaten a sour lemon.

Kobe smiled secretly, and at the same time, the supersonic glove Peyton had a distorted face.

"Gary, why didn't you get in a good position! How could you put Kobe in?" Kemp was not happy, and directly questioned Payton in the locker room. This ball is clearly Payton's problem.

"Damn it, how did I know that Kobe would grab offensive rebounds! Look at his average offensive rebounds per game? Is there one?" Get into the penalty area and grab the rebound! ?

That thin body is not afraid of being broken by an elbow?

Kemp was aggrieved. Payton still didn't admit his mistake at this time? Isn't it a basic defensive principle to block your opponent's player when defending and keep him from rushing to the board?

I slapped O'Neill's last chance to make a move! That jump may be the highest he has jumped this year! And everything was ruined by Payton's negligence. If Payton hadn't stuck Kobe, he would be the supersonic hero now! And now no one will remember his shot blocks, just laugh at them.

Payton and Kemp broke up, and George Karl smiled wryly.

Neither Peyton nor Kemp are traditionally players with good personalities. The excellent tacit understanding between them is because they have always been able to win, and they have also experienced many seasons of running-in. But since they were brutally slaughtered by the Bulls in the finals last year, both Payton and Kemp have been feeling a little unhappy. Payton can't understand Kemp working all day for a big contract. Kemp, on the other hand, can't understand Payton occupying so many possessions by himself.

This conflict may not break out completely now, the two still know that they are the most reliable partners for each other if they want to win the series, but if they continue to lose, and continue to lose in such a dramatic way, then the problem is really big

Especially this summer, whether Kemp can get a satisfactory contract and stay in the Sonics is also a very big question.

George Karl could only sigh helplessly, turning his head to study the loss of the game.

The headline on the second day, of course, was the picture of Kobe riding on O'Neal's back, with his left hand down and his right hand raised, and the ball was poured into the basket.

So classic! One picture showed O'Neal's bewildered expression, Kobe's cold expression, Payton's wide-eyed expression, Kemp just fell from the sky, and there was a smile after he successfully interfered with the ball.

The whistle light is on! Kobe's 0.1 seconds later, the ball is an overtime!

Classic moment!

This shot and the scene of Kevin Johnson killing Barkley have become the two must-use materials for this year's NBA to promote the subsequent series.

On May 7, after a day off, the Lakers and SuperSonics ushered in G2.

The situation in the second game was completely different from the first.

O'Neal ushered in the first big explosion in the playoffs!

As if to wash away the psychological scars left by Kobe's dunks, O'Neal used 120% of his energy in this game, and under Kobe's go-betweens, he repeatedly dunked in the Supersonic penalty area.

At the same time, Kemp's production volume and efficiency in low-post singles have been greatly improved compared to the first game. He scored 7 of 9 in the halftime and scored a double-double of 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.

Kemp was stunned by O'Neal in this game. O'Neal's strength is actually greater than the previous game? Kemp was continuously squeezed away, and 80% of the collisions between the two resulted in Kemp being crushed.

O'Neal finally played the dominance of a historical-level superstar inside, and Kobe was very willing to feed him the ball under this situation. What Kobe wants is to win! And he is also very clear that O'Neal is very restless inside. In order to appease this boyish fat boy, Kobe had 8 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the half of the game, almost filling the scoreboard.

The Sonics' offense was also suppressed in this game. When O'Neal crazily dominated the penalty area, crushed Kemp, and put the rebounds in his arms, the Sonics players were a little timid. They worry that their shot will turn into a quick counterattack on the Lakers side. Hesitation is a taboo for pitchers, and their shooting touch is far less good than in the first game.

Fortunately, Sam Perkins on the Supersonics bench came up and hit Horry several times in a row. This key man who once killed Jordan became a life-saving straw on the Supersonics bench.

In the third quarter, O'Neal grabbed 7 rebounds in a single quarter, 4 of which were offensive rebounds. And after grabbing the offensive rebound, it was a powerful dunk. Such a simple and rough play made George Karl on the sidelines grit his teeth.

How to prevent this! ?

What kind of tactics is this arrangement! ?

Both of them pulled the ball into the basket and scored 2+0. The only thing George Karl can do is to keep pouring chicken soup on the Sonic insider who is on the verge of collapse.

And Payton was still suppressed by Kobe in this game. Although he was warmer than the first game, he still didn't make any noise.

Kobe knows that this kind of suppression of Payton is getting more and more used to it. He has no way to suppress Payton for a series. Maybe Payton will find a way in the next game.

But in this game, the Lakers still easily won.

Sonics 86:103 Lakers.

O'Neal scored 41 points, 23 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal and 2 turnovers. With a shooting rate of 74%, he scored such an astonishing statistic.

Payton had 13 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

Kemp had 12 points and 5 rebounds.

Schramff and Hawkins scored 18 and 16 points respectively.
