My Name is Kobe Bryant

"I did it, I did it!"

"That's right, and you'll defend him again, again!" Kobe was happy for Wallace. No one knew how much Ben had paid for growing up from being an undrafted pick to defending Stockton alone.

"Thank you, boss." Big Ben knew that without Kobe's example, he couldn't do it.

On the Jazz's side, Stockton had a sullen face.

"John, it's just a ball." Malone comforted.

Most people thought it was just an ordinary defensive success, but in fact, the ball started and the wind of the game changed.

The Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics were used by the Lakers to switch to anti-interference with infinite rotation. They fought on their own, and the efficiency of singles was not high.

On the Lakers side, the morale is booming. Not to be outdone, O'Neal set off a bloodbath in the interior, receiving Kobe's pass and repeatedly scoring dunks at the basket.

Malone's repeated impacts made Kobe's body ache, but this did not affect Kobe's efforts to defend next time.

The offense and defense of Stockton and Ben Wallace, the big Ben also wins more than loses less. After all, Stockton is not a player who is good at scoring. When he faces Ben Wallace, who is superb in body and defensive awareness, he Caught in a scoring drought.

Bruce Bowen locked Hornacek tightly, so that he didn't get any shots.

When your team's ball handlers can't attract enough offensive attention, it's hard for off-ball players to perform.

The playing time of the substitutes on both sides is limited, and the coaches of both sides intend to do their best to win the game. In this era, it is not uncommon for the main players to play more than 40 minutes.

Halftime, Lakers locker room.

Kobe was sweating profusely and slumped on the seat.

After Karl Malone got into trouble in Stockton, he frantically attacked Kobe at this point. Back up, mid-range shot, cut-in and attack Kobe Bryant.

Kobe tried his best, but he could only slightly limit Malone's scoring efficiency.

He made 5 of 14 shots in the half, 13 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. This is Malone's data, the efficiency is not high, and his personal offense is completely separated from the team.

This is why the Lakers led the Jazz 49:41 at halftime.

Kobe's offense was stagnant in the first half, scoring 4 points and 3 assists on 2 of 6 shots. Malone consumed all his energy, and he did not perform well under Stockton's defense.

O'Neal propped up the Lakers' offense, making 6 of 13 shots, scoring 14 points and 8 rebounds. The firepower he and Eddie Jones released on the offensive end was ferocious.

"Kobe, can you still persist?" Harris couldn't bear it. An 18-year-old boy was struggling to survive under Malone's iron elbow.

"Yes!" Kobe's eyes were still determined. This game is not far from victory, and he is willing to do everything for victory.

In the second half, the confrontation between the Lakers and the Jazz became more intense, but their scoring efficiency declined instead.

The Jazz's strong counterattack did not break the Lakers' defense, and Kobe and Ben Wallace still gritted their teeth to limit the Utah Shuangsha's singles attack.

"Damn it, we can't do this." Stockton was anxious.

"Coach, we need to adjust our tactics."

Sloan also frowned, he couldn't find a way to attack and defend the Lakers for a while. But it won't work if you don't change tactics.

"Ma Long held the ball in the high post, and the pitchers ran! Cross screens, we no longer have dislocation singles, shoot shots!"

Simply put, the trailing Jazz decided to gamble on outside shooting.

Seeing the Jazz adjust their attack point, Kobe let out a long sigh. He was almost at his limit, and now he was aching everywhere. If the Jazz persist, it's hard to say who will win.

It would be much easier to defend by switching to outside shooting, and Kobe returned to his opponent Stockton. Compared with Malone, Stockton's confrontation is simply not at the same level.

"Boy, you are very good, you are the toughest rookie I have ever seen." Stockton and Kobe leaned together on their knees.

"And the strongest?"

"Also the strongest. Michael was not as good as you when he was 18 years old." Stockton laughed.

"Fake Oufu, you have never played with 18-year-old Jordan." Kobe pretended to be angry, pushed Stockton away to catch the ball, ran out of the open and made a mid-range shot.

Stockton, he got fucked by an 18-year-old rookie. The senior is obviously praising you, why don't you play your cards according to the routine?

"I take that back, you are the most oily rookie I've ever seen." Stockton lamented that this kid's routine was too much.

Kobe shrugged.

The game came to an end the moment the Jazz chose to gamble on outside shooting. The Lakers' outside defense was too tough.

Kobe vs. Stockton, Bowen vs. Hornacek, Eddie Jones vs. Brian Russell, all three points can lock each other.

With Bryant liberated from the defensive end, the Lakers' offense became sharper. The Jazz's desperate attempt failed.

At the end of the game, the Lakers won this hard-won victory 89:75.

Bryant scored the lowest scoring season, 12 points and 7 assists. But everyone knows that he and Big Ben are the key to the team's victory.

O'Neal had 26 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists. The Jazz did not restrict him very well this time.

Malone handed over 9 of 21 data, and his performance of 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists was far lower than the season average. Stockton scored 16 points and 8 assists. He took a few shots in front of Ben and was completely unable to effectively organize the team's offense

You must know that his average assists per game is 12 times.

Ben Wallace is the hero of this game, with 4 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. It can be said that he played the best game of his career.

"You have a good student." Sloan hugged Harris.

"No, I have a group of good teachers." Harris' words made Sloan a little confused.

Harris looked at Bryant, who was chatting with Stockton after the game.

He realized that the championship temperament was gradually forming in this team, and all this was brought by Kobe.

Be tenacious, work hard, and never give up. This is Kobe's way of basketball, and he is engraving it in the hearts of everyone on the Lakers.

. . . . . .

"Fack, Jeff." Kobe was wrapped up in rice dumplings and collapsed in the physical therapy room.

"Lie down, Kobe. You've had a lot on your body today and you need ice packs for relief. You don't want to be bruised all over the next week, do you?"

"Gary, Kobe's physical condition?" Harris asked Gary Vitti on the sidelines.

"It's all flawed. There may be some muscle soreness for a while, but it's okay." Garivetti examined Kobe carefully, and he was frightened by Kobe's move to force Malone. Fortunately, Kobe survived. You must know that there are countless dead souls under Malone's iron elbows.

"Shit schedule." Harris swears, continuous fierce games, but there is no time for the players to rest.

Two days later, the Lakers will face the Spurs on November 22. Against Houston on the 24th and the 76ers on the 26th.

Count yesterday's Warriors and today's Jazz.

The Lakers have 5 games in 8 days, and they have a championship team like Jazz Houston.

The schedule was so insane, Harris began to worry about the physical condition of the players.
