My Name is Kobe Bryant
Chapter 50
Mosaic team coach Rudy Tomjanovich is composed on the sidelines. It's just a few fast breaks, and he believes his players can adjust themselves right away.
The coach was the glory of Houston in the player era. During his 11 years in the NBA, he was selected as an All-Star five times. He is currently the third leading scorer in team history, behind Klein Murphy and Hakeem Olajuwon.
The championship coach is known for his instinctive management style and excellent use of bench players. He was hospitalized several times for exhaustion. His eclectic, easy-going demeanor with players earned him a reputation as a "player-coach," and as a result, some senior players were eager to play with his teams.
But soon his complexion changed a little, the Lakers' offensive speed was too fast. O'Neal even participated in the fast break, no matter whether the opponent scored or not, it was immediately a counterattack after the fast serve.
The players on the Mosaic team have experienced strong winds and waves, and they can completely deal with a fast offensive running and bombing. But the Lakers' outside players were hot. Kobe Bryant and Eddie Jones made 11 three-pointers and hit 7 goals in the first quarter.
The star shots of the Mosaic team are concentrated in the low post and the penalty area, whether they hit or not. Both Olajuwon and Barkley were unable to participate in the team's retreat for the first time.
And Kobe seized this fleeting opportunity and played brilliantly in consecutive offensive and defensive transitions. 5 of 7 in a single quarter, 3 of 4 three-pointers and 13 points.
This feeling is too exaggerated, even if Barkley penetrated Campbell, Olajuwon and O'Neal exploded each other. The Lakers still took a 30:23 lead in the first quarter.
"Nice job!" O'Neal and his teammate on the field high-fived. Their running and hot touch caught the opponent by surprise.
"They'll adjust right away." Bryant knew there was no doubt that the opponents would not let the Lakers continue to maintain this offensive. This kind of offense may be useful against some regular big teams, and the old teams may be useful, but this championship team can only gain a temporary advantage.
To bombard, the Lakers lack a space for the fourth position. So the current running and bombing is easy to target.
Coming off the bench, the Lakers' bench played well this time. Ben Wallace guarded Kevin Willis firmly. Before the Lakers switched to the starting lineup, they maintained their score advantage.
Van Exel felt hot in this game, and he came off the bench to attack Tracy Moore, an unknown player.
"The game has just begun." After Kobe played in the second quarter, Drexler stood in front of Kobe. The young man's performance in the first quarter was too eye-catching. Matt Maloney obviously couldn't guard him, and Drexler took the initiative to apply to guard Kobe.
Kobe was a little dignified, and the glider was not easy to deal with.
The Lakers had the ball, and Kobe handed it over to Eddie Jones. Crazy ran under the cover of O'Neill and Campbell.
Drexler followed Kobe closely, but Eddie Jones handed the ball to O'Neal, and O'Neal made a throw at the basket.
Bryant has long been prepared to deal with Drexler, run! Not running out of open space can also greatly consume Drexler's physical energy, and at the final decisive moment, the young Kobe can still have the physical energy to change the situation of the game.
After Kobe was blocked by Drexler in the second quarter, the situation became less optimistic. The Lakers' fast break arrows were contained, and the Lakers, who couldn't make fast breaks, no longer had the upper hand on the offensive end. And Olajuwon and Barkley still do whatever they want inside the Lakers.
49:49 tie! This is the score at the end of halftime, and the 7-point difference was evened by the Rockets.
O'Neal had 17 points and 8 rebounds in the half, and Kobe had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.
Charles Barkley had 21 points and 8 rebounds, and he beat Campbell. Olajuwon had 15 points and 4 rebounds. Drexler put all his energy on defending Kobe in the second quarter, and only scored 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting under Bowen's defense.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe and O'Neal played a pick-and-roll. O'Neal's performance in the first half and Olajuwon were in a state of mutual explosion. Olajuwon in the regular season did not show the defensive state of his heyday, and O'Neal has grown enough to score crazy points under Olajuwon's single defense.
The reason why Campbell has been kept on the court is that it can liberate O'Neal on the offensive end. With Campbell in Barkley, he dare not help defend O'Neal without any scruples. If the Lakers' fast break is contained, only O'Neal's can break the line.
If you put Ben Wallace, the Lakers' offense will collapse immediately when Kobe and O'Neal can't score smoothly!
Kobe and O'Neal's pick-and-roll consumed more energy from Drexler and Olajuwon. Drexler did not dare to let Kobe Bryant's outside shot, and O'Neal who blocked the impact to the basket also consumed a lot of Olajuwon's physical energy.
"Fatty, you've made a lot of progress." Panting Olajuwon shook O'Neal away and said after hitting the shot.
O'Neal ignored Olajuwon, who had already scored more than 20 points in front of him. Interacting with a veteran in his thirties is not what O'Neal wants.
"Shaq, hold on. They can't survive us." Kobe firmly believed that the victory in this game would belong to him. After Drexler changed speed with Kobe for half a day, he began to compete with O'Neal again. Olajuwon also consumed a lot of physical energy on both offense and defense, and the decisive victory is at the end.
In the third quarter, only O'Neal was able to score for the Lakers. Kobe's pick-and-roll was caught by Drexler very fiercely. Kobe held back his desire and did not make a strong shot. O'Neal's scoring efficiency is very good, but the Mosaic team Olajuwon and Barkley are scoring at the same time.
The Lakers trailed by 5 points 71:76. Entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers directly replaced the starter, while Rudy Tomjanovich tried to replace the bench, trying to buy time for the tired starter.
Kobe knew it was time. Kobe's hands were already hot, and he dribbled the ball halfway to face the short defensive player and directly shot a three-point jumper.
"I dare to shoot." O'Neal on the inside was still preparing to catch the ball one second, and was ready to grab a rebound the next second.
"Shua." The ball crossed a perfect arc and fell straight into the basket.
Kobe looks back chicly, this is just the beginning.
"Beep!" Rudy Tomjanovich called a timeout immediately after Kobe scored. Put on the starting lineup.
Facing Campbell's defense, Barkley scored two points again.
Kobe has the ball and Drexler is in front of him.
"ISO!" Kobe gestured for singles, then dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, trying to shake Drexler's center of gravity.
"Left!" Drexler judged the direction of Kobe's dribble and quickly slid to the left.
wrong!
After taking a step to the left, Kobe actually pulled the ball back and came outside the three-point line. Pull up, jump shot.
Hit again!
Bryant punches, Drexler is silent.
There will be a recommendation tomorrow~ In the new week, I ask readers for recommendation tickets~ Only when the grades are good during the recommendation period will there be the next recommendation.
Thanks to the book friend Little Airplane, and danced a waltz again, only Nianwang, Mingxin Tianze's reward~
