My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 533: Double Kill the King!

After the Lakers easily defeated the Jazz in the opening game on October 31, the Lakers ushered in a few days off.

"Hey, the game between the 76ers and the Bulls is so intense."

On November 1, the Bulls faced the 76ers back to back. The Lakers players also sat around to watch the game.

The 76ers can be described as a shotgun change this season.

Starting lineup: point guard Iverson, shooting guard Stackhouse, small forward Witherspoon, power forward Odom, center Coleman.

Coupled with Adelman's coaching, the team has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"There's something about the left-handed magician!" Seeing Odom holding the ball in the high position, juggling the ball to his teammates to complete the offense, and Rodman has no way to interfere with him because of his height. The Lakers players instantly felt that Odom was the best rookie of the year.

"Odom is very suitable for Adelman's Princeton system. Adelman is also confident. He actually took half of the offensive from Iverson and handed it over to a rookie to handle the ball."

"Iverson's half-ball-holding, half-off-ball style of play is more threatening. His speed advantage is fully reflected without the ball. Odom's height, vision, and passing awareness are also in place. There are no more than five power forwards in the league who can do that."

Kobe nodded in relief, Odom acted as the axis of Princeton, perhaps this is the best position for him.

Under Adelman's coaching, Iverson did not give up three-pointers, but made more three-pointers. This is a very big difference from the previous life. A large number of three-point shooting can not only make Iverson's scoring efficiency more efficient, making shots less difficult, but also effectively reduce his physical consumption, so that Iverson will never fall to the top just in his early 30s up.

I have to say that Adelman's Princeton system is really suitable for this 76ers. They actually drove the bull into a hurry!

Odom will be in poor form, and Rodman, who has not adjusted from the off-season, has blown up.

Iverson threw Harper out of sight.

Stackhouse guarded Jordan in a dedicated manner.

Coleman seemed to be rejuvenated, frantically grabbing rebounds at the basket for a second attack.

At halftime, the 76ers led the Bulls by 8 points 54:46!

Angry.

Kobe could tell Jordan was angry.

Sure enough, the reporter said that they heard a fierce quarrel in the Bulls locker room in the middle of the field.

In the second half of the Bulls, several players appeared with dark circles under their eyes, and their aura was different.

Jordan took the lead and strangled Iverson himself!

When the sharpest knife of the 76ers, Iverson was blocked, and the other players obviously lost their backbone.

Under Rodman's ruthless aggression, Odom was still able to hold the ball steadily, but his teammates could no longer run out of a suitable gap.

"It's overturned."

"A bull is still a bull after all."

"Michael was so strong on both ends of the floor in the second half."

At the end of the game, the Bulls beat the 76ers 105:91.

Jordan scored 32 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 5 turnovers.

Iverson scored 17 points in the first half, and only scored 6 points in the second half under Jordan's defense. The audience had 23 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.

Odom had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

Stackhouse had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

"Although the 76ers lost, their future is really bright."

"That's right, maybe they'll make it to the playoffs this season."

This is not nonsense, as long as the 76ers can implement Adelman's coaching. Honestly playing according to this Princeton system, reaching the playoffs is definitely not a difficult thing.

"The Bulls are struggling." Many players have seen this. This is not a problem of Pippen's absence alone, but a problem with the spirit of the entire team. The ambitions of the players are not there, obsessed with past glory, and as they age, their physical fitness declines. It is obviously not enough for Jordan to play hard alone.

"Don't think about it too much, Jordan and Zen Master will get it all done eventually." Kobe stood up and walked out of the video room.

"Yeah, never expect the opponent to become weak, let us become stronger!" O'Neill followed.

On November 4, the Lakers played away against the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings announced in the summer that they were bad, and all the core players were put on the shelves, and as long as they had a little trade value, they were all sold out.

This game is still a massacre without suspense.

The Lakers didn't even use their signature defensive play, and OK didn't do much either. Just relying on a team basketball, the king was slaughtered.

At the end of the game, the Lakers 113:56 Kings.

Double kill!

A difference of 57 points!

Six Lakers scored in double figures.

Kobe scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover.

O'Neal had 23 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 2 turnovers.

Mullin had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Dell Curry had 16 points and 4 rebounds.

Horry had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Campbell had 11 points and nine rebounds.

In this game, the two rookies of the Lakers, Wu Sheng Stephen Jackson and Dejuan Witt, both played for a few minutes.

"Steph played pretty well."

"Yeah, it's okay to be able to sign such a potential rookie with this pick."

In the middle of the game, the King's home court has become the Lakers' home court.

Sacramento is not far from Los Angeles, and there are a large number of fans here from Los Angeles.

In addition, the Lakers players played so wonderfully that many fans turned their backs.

So it became a situation where everyone was cheering for the Lakers.

With two big victories, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

On November 7, they will face the Knicks.

The Knicks didn't make much moves in the offseason this season, and still retained the previous gorilla Patrick Ewing, CIC king Alan Houston, and aunt Larry Johnson as the core of the Big Three combination.

Just 3 million signed Chris Mills, the Cavaliers' starting small forward last season, as a supplement to the bench.

With John Starks, Charles Oakley, Charlie Ward and many other titans. The strength on paper is still very good.

They're bound to be a powerhouse in the East, too. There are cores, role players, and a large number of bench killers.

But Kobe knew that their biggest flaw was the lack of an organizer.

And this point, facing the Lakers, is a dead spot!

The New York Knicks without a ball handler may be worse than the Jazz under the Lakers' historical defensive line!
