My Name is Kobe Bryant

Kobe looked at his sluggish teammates around him, feeling a little helpless. He has fed the opportunity to his teammates, but they still can't make a goal, which makes Kobe helpless.

Harris also has some headaches about the team's state. The team's back-to-back state is really not good.

Harris sent PG Derek Fisher, SG Van Exel, SF Bruce Bowen, PF Ben Wallace, C Tyreth Knight to this lineup in the first half of the second quarter. He pinned on Van Exel's ability to open up his hand, and he gradually discovered that the seemingly strong Lakers lacked the ability to adapt.

They didn't have a player who could stand up and adjust the team's rhythm after falling behind in the starting lineup, especially after O'Neal was restricted, the team's offensive rhythm completely relied on Kobe. And he can't let the 18-year-old Kobe play 40 minutes per game. The playing time of close to 30 minutes in the first three games has already made him a little worried.

Kobe's physical fitness is very abundant, and his devilish training intensity makes him the most normal player on the Lakers. Kobe has experienced the NBA for 20 years, and this kind of schedule has long been accustomed to him.

Kobe, who played the first quarter, wanted to continue playing, but was seriously rejected by Harris. Kobe knew that Harris was thinking of him, so he didn't say more.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Lakers watched Van Exel play alone. There is a big difference between Kobe and Van Exel. On the defensive end, Kobe can create a very strong pressure on the opponent's substitute, while Van Exel makes the opponent play very comfortably.

Although the offensive end is all singles, Kobe has the ability to catch offense and defense transitions. Van Exel can only play pick-and-rolls, and then find opportunities to jump shots. The offensive efficiency is worlds apart.

This also caused the other four players to remain unchanged, only the position adjustment. But the style of the Lakers' bench has changed a lot. Sure enough, the performance on the field was also a bit of a collapse.

Van Exel was shot two three-pointers by Dell Curry, and he wanted to fight back. Van Exel, who is 1.85 meters tall, actually played a dry pull in front of Dell Curry, who is 1.93 meters tall.

The ball came out of the basket, but the teammates didn't expect Van Exel to force a shot with 20 seconds left in the attack time, and the Hornets seized the opportunity to quickly counterattack and score.

Kobe couldn't bear to look directly, feeling his eyes were hot.

Harris couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly changed to the Lakers' starter, and it would cost him no more starting games.

"Shaq, I need you to blow up the opponent's inside line. Do you understand?" Kobe said to O'Neal. Can attract enough defensive attention.

O'Neal blushed. He knew that his performance in the first quarter was really bad, so he patted his chest and said, "Look at me."

"Bruce, I want you to lock up Glen Rice. I know you can do it." Kobe found Bowen. Bowen didn't match up with Glen Rice in the first quarter, and Harris finally replaced him in the second quarter. Wen goes to limit Queen Bee Glen Rice.

"No problem." Bowen's eyes sharpened, he really wanted a starting position. The current poor performance of Ceballos has given him a chance, and Bruce Bowen, who has been struggling for many years, is eager to seize this opportunity.

Kobe knew that these two people were the key to the team's reversal. As long as O'Neal can create enough space inside, the team's offense will flow smoothly. And restricting Glen Rice, the Hornets' offensive momentum will be hindered.

Harris looked at Kobe, who was directing his teammates, and was a little surprised at the kid's leadership. At such a young age, is even O'Neill willing to listen to his command and dispatch?

Kobe knows how to speak to O'Neal and he will listen. This fat man is proud and arrogant, and he doesn't take soft and hard things. He must be provoked by aggressive methods, so that he can listen.

Kobe holds the ball and faces Dell Curry's defense. The sixth man of the Hornets has plenty of playing time, and it is even said that he is the real starting shooting guard.

Kobe called O'Neal, let O'Neal catch the ball at the top of the arc, and then played a hand-off tactic to get rid of the defense.

Kobe took the ball from O'Neal and quickly went inside. Divac knew about Kobe dunking Ewing, so he didn't dare to be careless.

At this time, Kobe seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and passed the ball behind his back to O'Neal who was plugged in.

"Boom." O'Neill took the basketball, didn't hit the ball, and took off with big strides, his huge body hanging on the basket. The basket creaked, and O'Neal wanted to vent all his anger in the first quarter through this ball.

Divac, who was focused on Kobe, had no way to help defend again, and could only watch O'Neal wreak havoc on the basket.

"Very good, just play like this!" Harris on the sidelines was full of praise when he saw the ball. This ball seems simple, but it is too perfect from a tactical point of view. Tactics start from hand-to-hand at the first time, to defenders attracting defense inside, and then to air cuts by inside players. Played a very layered offense, and academic coaches like this kind of basketball very much.

The Hornets' offense was blocked, and Divac received the ball in the axis area to support. Surrounding the surroundings, they found that the bug Boggs was firmly covered by Kobe. Dell Curry was followed to death by Eddie Jones. Glen Rice, who performed well in the last quarter, couldn't catch the ball at all under the close defense of Bruce Bowen.

"Damn it, I'll do it myself." Divac tried to pass the ball twice and was almost cut off, but he couldn't make a mid-range jumper under O'Neal's defense.

Replacing Ceballos and replacing Bowen is really helpful for the Lakers' defense. At small forward, the Lakers' bleeding stopped.

Kobe knew he wanted to win in this situation. It is useless to rely on his own performance. He actively plays for O'Neal. Breaking through Dell Curry is still very simple for Kobe, but he did not force Curry.

Instead, he played a duo with O'Neal, and Kobe made O'Neal appear at the top of the arc, in the axis area. Kobe started pick-and-roll and hand-off tactics around O'Neal, and passed to O'Neal who was running down after breaking through to attract attention.

When a giant starting at 2.16 meters and 130 kilograms rushes towards you, it is difficult for defensive players to have the courage to block it. Given the choice between ICU and getting out of the way, most people would choose the second.

The score was overtaken in the second quarter, and the Hornets did not have a good way to stop the rising O'Neal.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Hornets tried to use Glen Rice to defend Kobe. Kobe didn't play so comfortably in front of Glen Rice, who was far taller and heavier than himself. He changed his tactics and let O'Neal sit down directly. Glen Rice couldn't prevent Kobe's pass. O'Neal, who has opened up, does not need any tactics, and Divac is vulnerable to the hot O'Neal.

Kobe didn't have many performance opportunities in the second half. He only scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the game. O'Neal came from behind, and his dominant performance of 31 points and 14 rebounds was very impressive.

Glen Rice and Dell Curry only scored 22 points and 14 points respectively. Bruce Bowen defended Glen Rice very well, and their offense was a bit misfired.

At the end of the game, the Lakers 88:79 Hornets won four consecutive victories, and they ranked first in the Western Conference.
