My Name is Kobe Bryant

"How long has Shaq been like this?"

“It’s been like this ever since the final defeat.”

Looking at the big shark with his head covered and wearing headphones that no one wanted to talk to, Byron Scott had a headache.

G3 between the Lakers and Houston has ended. At the last moment, Dameng scored a key goal, and then the Lakers had a chance to make a final attack.

With O'Neal's strong request and Kobe's humility, the final shot went to O'Neal.

The confident Shark seemed to have seen the final kill! The excited expressions of Lakers teammates and fans! It was like seeing the praise in newspapers and magazines the next day! It’s like seeing the sigh of a big dream!

But the last second! Olajuwon's defensive interference caused O'Neal's throw to miss the basket.

Shocked first!

Then there was the guilt after watching the celebrating Houston players and the disappointed Lakers teammates.

O'Neal's mood seemed to be on a roller coaster, falling from the clouds to the bottom!

"Shaq, you only saw the brilliance when I hit the buzzer-beater, but you didn't see all the responsibilities I took when I shot." Kobe's words made O'Neal deep in thought.

O'Neal indeed only saw Kobe's demeanor after he succeeded in making a buzzer-beater, but what would happen after he failed?

Now O'Neal understands that no matter how high you climb, you will fall as hard as you can.

This goal made him the Lakers' sinner!

Not everyone is Kobe! They can all shoot for sure without fear like Kobe! Because they are afraid!

They're afraid they won't make a shot!

Can't make a shot! You are the biggest sinner!

Don’t vote! You can never go wrong!

But if you vote! You may be criticized by thousands of people!

It's Kobe! He has always quietly assumed such a role.

O'Neal didn't understand before, but now he finally understands that Kobe is definitely not trying to take credit for the limelight, but acting as a shield in front of the Lakers players.

You don’t dare to take action now!

I'll vote!

Players you dare not defend!

I'll defend you!

Are you dead? Then give me the ball!

Let me take care of the whole damn thing for you!

O'Neill suddenly felt that his behavior was very childish.

Why?

Why must we seize the last chance to take action?

Obviously Kobe did it for them every time.

What's there to fight for?

But

What if it's just this time I'm unlucky?

What if Lady Luck isn't on my side?

If I hit, would everything end differently?

O'Neill was caught in contradictions and entanglements.

If there is such an opportunity again, will I take action again?

. . .

"Hakeem! I see hope of winning this series!" Barkley was excited! The flesh on his face trembled.

"Yes." Olajuwon smiled slightly, as he expected.

O'Neal, something went wrong.

O'Neal's mentality is the Lakers' biggest weakness.

The last ball! If it was Kobe Bryant who made the shot, even if Kobe didn't make the shot and missed the buzzer-beater, Dameng felt that it would be difficult for the Houston Rockets to defeat the Lakers in a 7-game series!

At most, I won 2 or 3 games.

Even being eliminated 4:1 is not impossible.

How many games were there in which Kobe Bryant felt bad?

Will there always be games where the referee blows the home whistle like this, allowing Pippen to act unscrupulously?

impossible.

These are all accidental.

These accidents can only allow Houston to steal a few wins. Returning to reality, Houston cannot win this series without injuries.

Dameng knows this, and Feizhu also knows this.

but!

Now!

There is a problem within the Lakers, and the strongest fortress will always disintegrate from within.

The Lakers' current situation is that O'Neal and Kobe are competing for the last shot!

O'Neal's little thoughts cannot be hidden from Da Meng!

Can Kobe and O'Neal's key performances be compared?

As long as the Lakers lose a key killer like Kobe, the team's dominance will drop by several levels in an instant.

And with O'Neal like this, Dameng is confident to suppress him just like G3! Even beat him up!

Big dreams are old! Facing a shark that is not in peak condition, there is still some confidence!

It is definitely not a fantasy for Houston to win this series!

If the Lakers continue like this!

At the last moment, Kobe and O'Neal competed for the right to take the shot!

Then the Lakers are not the team that is undefeated at critical moments!

The most powerful thing about a veteran team is its key ball ability, which was completely destroyed by Kobe Bryant alone in Houston before.

Even Dameng, Fliggy, and Glider all have top-notch key ball abilities, but they never won against Kobe at the critical moment!

It’s different now!

As long as the Lakers are not the undefeated team at critical moments!

This group of veterans in Houston are confident of dragging the Lakers into the quagmire! Kill!

"Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets GAME 4! There are currently 35 seconds left before the end of the game!"

"Lakers 101: Rockets 102! Lakers have the ball!"

"The Lakers still have two chances to attack! Their choice is crucial!"

Another key goal!

The plot of this game is almost the same as the previous one!

With the tacit approval of the home referee, Pippen bit Kobe like a mad bull after being castrated!

Even so, Kobe slowly adjusted and forced his shooting percentage to above 50%, but only scored 33 points because of the pitiful number of free throws.

Under this kind of defense, Kobe made 13 of 25 shots and scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block!

And the other side!

Flying Pig feels like victory is in sight! This game is crazy!

He beat Horry to 6 fouls!

This directly caused connection problems in the Lakers' offensive system!

After Ben came on the court, he slightly restrained the flying pigs, allowing him to score 27 points and 22 rebounds with a domineering 20+20!

Dameng’s game is still solid! Scored 31 points and 8 rebounds.

O'Neal is 27+14! Still maintaining the performance of a superstar! But he didn't achieve absolute dominance!

In the end, the game situation was still fought to the last minute! Dameng and Feizhu attracted a lot of defensive attention from the Lakers! In the end, Drexler made a 1V1 mid-range jumper and Eddie Jones hit a jumper.

"The last two offenses! Who will the Lakers give it to?"

This question lingers in the minds of every spectator watching the game!

O'Neill bit his lip and hesitated to speak.

"Hit Shaq!" Kobe said firmly!

Or Shaq?

Harris' eyes were a little shaken, while O'Neal looked at Kobe in disbelief.

Even if I missed the buzzer beater in the last game, Kobe still believed in me?

O'Neill took a deep breath.

beat?

Or not?

Was the last game an accident?

still

"Then, leave it to me." O'Neill nodded vigorously.
