My Name is Kobe Bryant

In the Lakers' opening offense, Kobe still hit as many balls as possible to the basket.

No matter what outsiders think, without O'Neal, it would be difficult for the Lakers to defeat such a Hornets.

O'Neal's advantage in positional warfare is too great! It is impossible for Kobe, who has been a professional for more than 20 years, not to make a fuss about this.

"Again?" Divac was pushed to the basket by O'Neal again!

This time, O'Neal opened his heart and stood up straight from the ground!

Push the ball hard into the basket with one hand!

overbearing!

At the beginning of the game, O'Neal's fatness did not become his weakness at all, but made him more aggressive!

Button!

With a 2.16-meter heavy center, he pushed all the way to the basket, and it was a dunk!

Lakers 4:2 Hornets.

"Get back on defense!" Kobe yelled, and O'Neal hurriedly ran back before he even had time to do a celebration.

run!

If you don't run faster, you'll get hit again!

In this game, even O'Neal, who is often lazy, dare not be careless!

"It seems that Divac didn't target Shakoa very well." The Zen master pursed his lips.

It is true that Divac defeated O'Neal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, but that was a FIBA ​​rule, and O'Neal was not that strong at that time!

Now O'Neal is invincible offensively!

It's hard to guard against it. Divac could guard against O'Neal in 1996, but he really couldn't guard against the Shaq in 1998!

Unless Lord of the Rings Bill Russell or Big Dipper Wilt Chamberlain returns to his peak, I am afraid no one can guard against a fully physically capable Shark in a positional battle!

Looking at it this way, O'Neal's final achievement will not be the top three centers in history. Phil Jackson has a headache.

"Positional battle! The Hornets didn't start a fast-break counterattack on this shot!"

"Two top teams, when they have precautions, it is impossible for the opponent to counterattack every ball."

"Positional warfare is always a regular duel that we have to face!"

Hill holds the ball!

Bowen defended.

Divac pick and roll!

O'Neal squatted inside to defend.

Hill took an exaggerated stride and threw Bowen away and reached the middle distance!

O'Neal quickly made up the defense!

Bowen also chased desperately from behind!

But Hill didn't look at anyone and threw the ball behind his back.

Divac catches the ball.

Take a deep breath.

Adjust and take action.

Hit from mid-range.

"Here we come! This is where Divac can best restrain O'Neal!"

"Hill and Divac's pick-and-roll can be used as a regular tactic to restrain the Lakers!"

"Michael can even paddle! Wait for the game to get into the heat, then come out and take over!"

"Perfect! The Hornets have the most perfect lineup system for the Lakers!"

Harris frowned.

Fast break and center pulling out to shoot?

It's a bit interesting, these are indeed the two best ways to deal with the current Lakers.

These two attacks sounded a wake-up call to all Lakers players and the coaching staff!

The Lakers are not invincible!

The Hornets have found the Lakers' weak spot.

"The Lakers are in danger. Phil has prepared too much for this game! Maybe he started preparing for this game from the day the finals ended!" Magic looked solemn.

"Michael and Kobe have not yet exerted their strength, but the game is already so fierce. I look forward to the confrontation when the two teams play their trump cards!" Kenny Smith.

In the first quarter, the offensive rhythm under Kobe's control was handed over to O'Neal.

O'Neal scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block on 6 of 11 shots in a single quarter.

The Hornets' offensive idea is that Hill holds the ball, picks and rolls with Divac, and other players move around to wait for opportunities to catch the ball.

Hill scored 5 points and 3 assists.

Divac scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Both Jordan and Kobe only took a few shots to find their touch.

At the end of the single quarter, the Lakers beat the Hornets 23:27.

"Boy, you are lagging behind." Jordan raised the corners of his mouth and showed a domineering smile.

Kobe Bryant: "It's just a 4-point difference, just two goals."

"Both sides have quite a few trump cards." The magician silently analyzed.

The Lakers only used IN-OUT tactics, and they had a lot of systems that were useless.

The Hornets only played the pick-and-roll of Hill and Divac, and also chased O'Neal on the fast break.

Hill's singles breakthrough

Divac's high-level support

Jordan's moves without the ball

These tactics are hidden.

The two sides seemed to be fighting fiercely, but they were still testing!

This is a battle between two of the best teams in the history of the league, and every step is taken with care.

"In the second quarter, let's see the competition between the league's strongest rotations."

"The Lakers are still five up and five down!"

"Xiaoyu, Manu, Wusheng, Daben, Campbell."

"The Hornets are led by Ryder!"

"BJ Armstrong, Isaiah Leder, Ricky Davis, Derrick Coleman, Brad Miller!"

Old Miller.

No, now Miller is also with the Hornets.

He is this year's undrafted player. This white center who made two All-Star appearances in his previous life is currently ignored by everyone because of his physical fitness.

"Come on! Guys! Come on, Ollie!" Xiaoyu roared angrily and entered the stage aggressively.

"What is Oligo?" Manu was confused.

"Whatever it is, it's Ollie! Just shout and that's it! Ollie is here!"

Shouting incomprehensible slogans, the Lakers players took the court with confidence!

Unlike the Hornets' substitutes, most of the Lakers' substitutes have already played in two finals!

Except for Wu Sheng who only fought once, Demon Sword has never fought before.

They are players who have seen big scenes!

Dynastic temperament!

This is why many teams like to poach role players from dynasty teams.

As for the Hornets' bench, the lineup may be really good on paper, but for them to face a group of proud players with dynastic temperament like the Lakers, it's still a bit weak!

"Lakers bench! Leading!" Kenny Smith exclaimed!

As soon as the substitutes from both sides came on, Manu used a weird Z-shaped cut for a layup and scored the first point of the second quarter.

Then Ryder's single was beaten by Stephen Jackson with a hot pot! Got slapped down!

“Stephen’s growth is amazing!”

"This physical fitness! This defensive anticipation! He should definitely be a top-five player. How did he get selected by the Lakers? Just because he is an NCAA Division II player?"

Fight back!

After blocking the shot, Xiaoyu pushed back to counterattack!

Campbell followed up with an assist. Campbell shook off the slow-footed Derek Coleman and rushed in for a two-handed dunk!

Hang it on the basket!

"Campbell is getting hard!"

Phil Jackson's expression changed.

The Lakers' substitute exceeded his expectations.

Is this really a bunch of late first and second round picks?
