My Name is Kobe Bryant

The bench lineups of the two sides also did not tell the winner. The Hawks' bench tactics are extremely high-quality, and Joan Barry came off the bench and scored three-pointers again and again. This Eagles team averaged 22.4 three-pointers per game, which is absolutely the highest in the league.

Wilkens' coaching philosophy is very advanced. He knows that the Eagles, which lack offensive superstars, want to gain an advantage on the offensive end, so they have to shoot more three-pointers and make more three-pointers. Superstar teams play defense, and civilian teams play bombardment can often achieve better results than the paper lineup.

Without the Lakers bench led by Kobe, only defense is left. Their offensive performance is completely dependent on the sky. Van Exel plays well if he feels good.

In the second half of the second quarter, the substitute came off the field. The score when the Lakers started was 31:28, and the Eagles led by 3 points.

Wilkens quietly ordered before starting the game, "The Lakers are careless. They didn't enter the state. They ran and hit a three-pointer. We can win this game."

The game situation was changing rapidly, and the somewhat relaxed Lakers were pulled back by Laettner and Steve Smith's consecutive three-pointers.

In the starting lineup of the Lakers, Bowen performed very well on the defensive end after replacing Ceballos. But in the first quarter of this game, Bowen was used to deal with Tyrone Corbin, a role player small forward, which is undoubtedly overkill.

"Bruce, you switch defenses with Eddie, you guard Smith! He made three three-pointers in this quarter!" Kobe was a little angry, he didn't want to lose the game at home.

"Okay, don't worry, boss." Bruce looked fierce, this was his first start in the NBA, and he didn't allow anyone to spoil it. Tyron Corbin didn't even have a single shot in the first quarter with Bowen's close defense.

Angry Kobe decided to come by himself, Mucci - Blaylock is 15 centimeters shorter than Kobe. But the player defended very hard, forcing his way through O'Neal's pick-and-roll and stopping Kobe.

Kobe's breakthrough was blocked, so he simply ignored it, pulled it up and shot. Kobe's basketball philosophy is that when you don't have a better offensive option, it's better to use the jumper to solve all problems.

"DUANG!" The ball hit the basket hard, and Kobe shook his hand. Kobe believed that this kind of ball should be a must, after all, only one player was defending him.

Damn, looks like I'm going to have to take a few more shots to get my touch back. Kobe bit his jersey, dissatisfied with himself and his team.

In the previous few games, Kobe's hand feeling was very good. On the rest days of these days, Kobe conducted intense strength training under Jeff's leadership, which caused his hands to feel a little sore.

Kobe didn't think these would bother him. These soreness were much more comfortable than dislocations and finger tendon tears. But if the offensive end can't play high efficiency, Kobe will focus on the defensive end.

At the end of the second quarter, the Atlanta Hawks made 5 of 9 three-pointers in this quarter. And the score became 52:45. O'Neal had 12 points and 4 rebounds in the half, while Kobe missed 3 shots in the second quarter and only scored 7 points in the first quarter.

"Coach, we need a point to limit Laettner, let's play for another." During the intermission, Kobe suggested to Harris. Atlanta's three offensive arrows, Bowen will solve Steve - Smith. Bryant tackled Mookie Blaylock himself.

And Laettner's fiery touch opened up the Eagles' offensive end in the second quarter. Campbell couldn't keep up with the flexible Laettner. Laettner's mid-range and three-point shots were the reason why the Lakers fell behind.

Harris doesn't like players interfering with his tactical command, but Kobe is the darling of the Lakers, and his opinions are very reasonable. Harris decided to try what Kobe said.

The lineup of the Lakers in the second half became PG Kobe Bryant, SG Eddie Jones, SF Bruce Bowen, PF Ben Wallace, C Shaq O'Neal, the defense of this lineup is very good, but O'Neal's offense in the paint will be disturbed, only Kobe At the same time, an excellent performance on both ends of the offense and defense can liberate O'Neal.

O'Neal doesn't like to play with Ben Wallace, he knows that the big man has endless strength. He also often defended against him during training. To O'Neill's surprise, Ben Wallace's strength was enough to interfere with him.

But Ben's offense is so bad that even the second offense and the empty cut at the basket are often missed because of the stiff touch. This season Ben Wallace's shooting percentage is only 34.8%, and all of these are shots in the penalty area!

This shooting rate is too scary, and the presence of such a player on the court will make the team's offensive efficiency drop sharply when offensive points are needed. And in the Lakers, a team that has O'Neal as the main offensive point, opponents will even double-team O'Neal without any scruples from the start of the serve.

"Lock them!" Kobe roared in a low voice. He knew that if he wanted to win the Eagles, he had to destroy their three-point offensive.

Kobe took the lead, and Mucci Blaylock passed the ball to Laettner. Kobe intercepted it with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers are full of momentum, and their defense is extremely aggressive. The Eagles' offense has stalled, and the Lakers have repeatedly counterattacked successfully.

Wilkens quickly called a timeout, "Steady, guys. We have the lead, let the ball pass!"

Wilkens knew that when the defensive strength came up, passing the ball was a helpless move. When every defensive player is highly nervous, it is difficult to create an open space through defense.

But the Eagles lack a player who can break the deadlock one-on-one. If Wilkens has such a player, Wilkens is confident that he can lead the Eagles to a higher level.

But all ifs are just ifs, the Lakers' lineup defense firmly locks every offensive point of the Eagles. There was no good chance on the outside line, and the ball was passed to the inside line Mutombo under the rotation.

Dikembe Mutombo stopped the ball and observed it. He didn't have a good chance and prepared to play by himself.

And Kobe came quietly, quietly came behind Mutombo. Mutombo didn't notice, he pushed O'Neal twice, turned around and threw the ball out.

The No. 8 jersey is flying in the wind, and Kobe is about to take off when he finds the right time. He is waiting for Mutombo's shot.

Here comes the ball! It's now! Kobe leaped high and vigorously fanned Mutombo's throw out of the field like a volleyball! It's like what Mutombo usually does to other players.

"Fack." O'Neal exclaimed immediately. The timing of the defensive prediction was too accurate. How did he know that Mutombo would make a shot at this time.

Mutombo looked back at Kobe in disbelief. He usually slaps others. How long ago was he blocked like this?

Kobe looked indifferent, raised his left hand, and shook his index finger at Mutombo. Killing and punishing one's heart, that's all.
