My Name is Kobe Bryant

"If Houston wins Game 1, they will sweep the Lakers!" This is the prediction of Rockets star Ralph Sampson before the start of this round of the series.

After Kobe defeated Houston in the first game, he immediately changed his statement.

"Hakeem will give Kobe and O'Neal a good look, one against two, which he did a lot when I was playing with him!"

Ralph Sampson, who is now sitting in a high-end apartment in Houston, is a little restless.

No way! No way!

You won't milk your team to death!

The game between the Lakers and Houston on TV has progressed to the end of the third quarter.

In the first three quarters, Olajuwon alone withstood the fierce attacks of Kobe and O'Neal.

But at the beginning of the third quarter, he finally felt powerless.

Kobe has 17 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists

O'Neal had 24 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.

Olajuwon had 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks and 4 turnovers.

Except for OK, the Lakers shot 41% from the field.

In Houston, except for Olajuwon, the other players' shooting percentage was only 29%!

Less than 30%!

Drexler only scored 7 points in 3 out of 13 games!

Not to mention the other players, none of them scored in double figures!

The Lakers' defense couldn't lock up Dameng's dance steps, but their youthful running made Houston's players in other positions exhausted!

In addition, Javey's penalty scale in this game is very strict, and Houston's veterans have been called fouls for some small jobs, which makes them have to rely on hard power to fight against the Lakers!

As for hard power, the Lakers' OK combination already has 90% dominance at its peak!

Kobe is still a little thinner, and O'Neal is a little more immature.

But compared with the peak, there will not be much difference!

After all, except that Kobe's physical fitness is a little worse than that of the OK Dynasty era, other skills can be said to be fully updated!

From shooting, to organization, to defense, to key balls, to tactical understanding. Kobe's role on the court is definitely better than his own in the OK era

Even better!

Can you imagine the OK Dynasty, what would be the result of a team with a single superstar?

Olajuwon's performance in this game proves everything.

In the first three quarters, he fell into a passive situation where the team's offense completely collapsed if he didn't take over the game.

And when he carried the team, with one against two, forced a burst and hit a 55 with the OK combination, his physical fitness finally began to decline at the end of the third quarter, and he couldn't keep up with O'Neal.

O'Neal played too smart in this game!

If he goes hard, digs into Olajuwon's position hard, and with AC Green's defense, it is impossible to achieve such an effect.

Not only will the efficiency be very low, but even the effect of consuming Olajuwon's physical energy will not be very obvious.

But O'Neal followed Kobe's advice and ran up to fight!

Empty cut! Run back! Get off!

Kobe is the incarnation of the court commander, plus an assaulter.

Before the critical moment, put the ball in O'Neill's hands!

O'Neal took 17 shots! Kobe Bryant only shot 12 times!

But Kobe's offense has always been a threat, a sharp knife hanging over Houston's head, Houston has already been beaten by Kobe.

They dare not guard against Kobe!

As long as he is negligent for a moment, Kobe will hit the shot with every stitch.

Olajuwon was frantically consumed by Kobe and O'Neal on the defensive end.

It is not an easy task to drag a 200 kg prehistoric monster.

On the offensive end, one person has to carry the whole team. It is definitely not easy to play O'Neal alone. O'Neal's body is there, although he can't guard against Big Dream. But every time Dameng makes an action, he consumes more physical energy than other normal players.

Especially the indispensable blocking and pushing between the centers.

It's too difficult, it's too difficult to fight with such a giant beast!

Olajuwon misses his teammates Ralph Sampson and Thorpe.

If they are still there, they can go to the front line of O'Neal and help defend themselves. The defensive efficiency will be higher that way.

But AC Green has a bamboo pole-like figure and is 35 years old.

How could it stand up to O'Neill? Olajuwon can only rely on himself.

But after three quarters of fierce competition, Olajuwon has no way to maintain high efficiency.

At the end of the third quarter, under a series of indiscriminate bombardment by Kobe and O'Neal, the score was stretched to 8 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Tomjanovich planned to put Olajuwon off the court to rest for 4 minutes.

But Kobe and O'Neal did not end!

They are young and energetic! It is not a problem to play the whole game in one or two games!

When O'Neal squeezed away AC's two-handed dunks to complete 2+1, Olajuwon had no choice but to play again.

But how can such a tired Olajuwon be OK's opponent?

Even though Jim Jackson broke out a few shots, crushed Eddie Jones, went inside and forced a layup, but Bowen's defense quickly made him misfire.

Kobe kept choking Drexler to death.

Olajuwon also fell into the embarrassment of continuous strikes.

"Kill them all in one wave!"

Under Kobe's call, under the support of fans in the Great Western Forum Arena.

The Lakers are pressing!

ferocious! Vigorous defensive streak success!

Dazed!

Houston was stunned by the Lakers in the fourth quarter!

A 13:2 climax was played directly!

In one fell swoop, the score was stretched to more than 15 points.

Then Houston attempted to steal a three-pointer.

There was no result, but the Lakers made more quick counterattacks.

Olajuwon gasped for breath while holding his knees. He has scored 34 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists in this game.

But his efficiency continued to decline, and his shooting percentage in the fourth quarter was less than 40%.

it took.

The game was beaten by OK!

Dominance, the OK combination thoroughly demonstrated their dominance in such a crucial game!

Then the two sides replaced the starting players, and the last three minutes of the Western Conference finals actually entered garbage time!

big win!

The Lakers won a big victory at home!

Houston Rockets 89: 117 Lakers!

A big victory of nearly 30 points!

Olajuwon made 14 of 29 shots and scored a game-high 34 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks and 6 turnovers.

O'Neal made 13 of 21 shots, scored 31 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers.

Kobe made 12 of 20 shots, 29 points, 8 rebounds, 16 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers!

A super efficient performer!

"The era of Houston is over!" This is the sigh of the magician after the game.

"See you next time." Olajuwon said to Kobe and O'Neal with cold eyes.

"Sweep Houston!" This is the call of Curry, who has become the mascot among Lakers fans!

Lillard is too arrogant. A few years ago, I thought he had the qualities of a killer. This year, he has evolved super giant.
