My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 534 The Tragedy at Madison Square Garden

The Knicks this season are aiming for the Eastern Conference Finals.

They know that no matter facing the Bulls or the Magic, the team's lineup is inferior, and it is very difficult to win, but the team has the Big Three after all.

Compared with the Bulls' Jordan Pippen, the Magic's Penny Webber has one more core and an extra superstar salary. The team management can certainly hope that they can break through their limits and reach the Eastern Conference finals.

At least in the East, except for the Bulls Magic, other teams are at most on the same level as them.

This is Jeff Van Gundy's third season in charge of the New York Knicks.

He took over at the end of his first season and only played 23 games, winning 10.

In the second season, Alan Houston and Larry Johnson were brought in, and they won 57 games.

This season, the management's goal is to win 60 wins!

Under the guidance of Van Gundy, the team built a set of offensive and defensive systems based on Ewing's core, and played very hard. On the offensive end, there are also players with both appearance and strength like Alan Houston. The support of fans is the highest in recent years.

New York is one of the largest football markets in the league. Even though it has been poor for many years, New York still tops the league in terms of market value. This shows how terrifying the fans' spending power is in the Big Apple.

"It's so prosperous." Entering New York City, all players can feel a completely different style from Los Angeles.

The towering buildings, the elites in suits and leather shoes everywhere, the ubiquitous luxury cars, and the homeless people living on the streets have constructed a masterpiece of magical style.

"Who is the best mid-range pitcher in the league, Kobe or me? I will let him know in this game." Alan Houston still spoke his inner words under repeated press from the media.

"Patrick is the strongest. Shaq, that little fat guy who can't even make free throws, dares to call himself the No. 1 center?" Jordan's former No. 1 thug, Charles Oakley, yelled.

"That's right, our Alan and Patrick are the best inside and outside combination in the league!" The New York media has always been arrogant.

Before the game against the Lakers, a lot of rumors were generated between the two top traffic teams.

Experts expressed their amusedness one after another. Is it possible for New York to win against the Lakers?

Yes, even the worst team can beat a strong opponent. There are no underdogs in the NBA. These players are the best basketball players on the planet.

But what are the odds?

Look at the current state of the Lakers, unless there is an extremely low probability event that Kobe O'Neal is beaten to six fouls. The Lakers' fault tolerance rate is simply too high!

They have several ways to beat the Knicks, even without too many cards.

"Okay, guys, enjoy the performance at Madison Square Garden." Harris was calm before the game. Although New York is a top team, it is not qualified compared with the current Lakers.

"Okay!" All the soldiers of the Lakers had high morale! Big Apple City, live broadcast across the United States, the attention of countless wealthy businessmen and celebrities, the holy land of basketball!

This kind of stage does not exist all the time, coupled with the clamor of opponents before the game, it undoubtedly makes the Lakers players full of fighting spirit.

Not only to win!

Still have to win beautifully!

When O'Neill and Ewing met, their eyes collided instantly.

"Boy, you're getting fat." Ewing teased.

"Hehe." O'Neill didn't want to argue anymore, just be fat, and he was used to being teased every time he met an acquaintance.

Ewing knew that last year O'Neill had taken the crown of the era of insider kings from Hakim, and the throne of king of kings already belonged to the young man in front of him.

But Ewing refused to accept it!

It's not like Olajuwon who has become famous! Ewing has yet to win a championship.

The coaches changed one after another, and the teammates changed wave after wave. But he never won the championship. This is the eternal pain in Ewing's heart. The peak of his career is only a few years away. Ewing knew that these few years were the last chance to win the championship.

war!

If you want to become the real king of kings, then defeat us old guys!

"The Lakers have a different starting lineup than they did last game against the Jazz -- Kobe, Jones, Bowen, Campbell, O'Neal."

"Knicks starting lineup -- Charlie Ward, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing."

"Although Ewing's statistics have declined last season, he is still unstoppable in the playoffs. The four major centers are the four major centers after all, and they strongly suppressed Mourning."

"Let's take a look at Ewing this season, how is his state?"

The referee threw the ball high, and the two prehistoric giants, the gorilla and the big shark, jumped up at the same time!

Basketball was pointed to the Lakers by O'Neal, but the gap between Ewing and him was almost only a hair's breadth!

"Patrick was in very good form in this game."

"Looks in good spirits."

Kobe Bryant advances with the ball.

Charlie Ward, the 1.88m defender, posted it!

Want to steal!

Kobe smiled dismissively.

Dribble behind your back!

Pull the ball from behind the left side to the right, one stride past Charlie Ward.

Advance!

Breakthrough damage is always stronger than projection!

Oakley assists in defense.

Kobe bows to Oakley! Another Mencius into the basket!

take off!

"Don't even think about it!" The gorilla Ewing waved his palm-sized hand, sealing Kobe's sky.

Kobe turned his body into a spinning top!

Turned directly from Ewing's side in the air, and then lightly threw the ball into the sky.

"boom!"

O'Neill Tyrannosaurus in general! Fill the basket vigorously with both hands!

2:0, OK used a classic cooperation to score the first goal of the game.

"The full court press! There it is! The Lakers used the full court press from the beginning!"

"Panic! The Knicks are very flustered in handling the ball! The basketball came to the hands of Alan Houston!"

"Eddie Jones' defensive speed is very fast! His defensive skills have become more aggressive after experiencing those epic battles last year and the ravages of many top superstars!"

"The CIC king didn't dare to dribble, he passed the ball!"

"Bowen Steals! Bowen blocked all the receiving lines of Big Mom Larry Johnson!"

"Pass to Kobe! Kobe pulls up and shoots!"

"Three points! The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit a three-pointer! 5:0!"

"Charlie Ward accelerated with the ball! He tried to pass Kobe with his height and speed! Kobe hit Charlie Ward with his chest! Fumbled the ball in the confrontation!"

"Kobe lobs the ball in the air! Eddie Jones catches it!"

"Pass the ball from behind, Kobe plugs in!"

"Kobe slams the ball into the floor, the basketball hits the floor and bounces off the backboard!"

"Eddie Jones waiting for the ball in the air! Tomahawk dunk!"

"Crazy! Playing crazy! The Lakers gave the Knicks 7:0 at the beginning!"

"The Knicks are so vulnerable against the Lakers!"
