My Name is Kobe Bryant

This summer, Philadelphia moved from First United to their new arena, the Wachovia Center.

New arena, new stars, new coaches, everything is fresh.

This has greatly stimulated the local football market. Tickets to the First United Center for this game are hard to find, and the seats are full.

In such a strong basketball atmosphere, the game between the Lakers and the 76ers continued.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Philadelphia 76ers 44:38 away.

The Lakers had the ball, and Kobe caught and dribbled it across half court. He looked around, it was time.

Show time is about to begin!

The 76ers chose Allen Iverson to defend Kobe in the first half. Johnny Davis thought that Allen Iverson's defense in the first half was very good, and the midfielder praised Allen severely.

Bryant took few shots in the first half, and Johnny Davis credits Iverson with that.

Kobe and Iverson haven't exchanged a single word in the whole game so far, but the collision of eyes is everywhere.

Two players who are always full of fighting spirit, their offensive and defensive collisions have attracted the cheers of a large number of spectators.

When Kobe dribbled again to the 76ers' half, Iverson clearly felt that Kobe's momentum was different.

If Kobe's momentum in the first half was a rock, he maintained the team's operation steadily and without mistakes.

So now Kobe is the sword in the stone!

With only one out of ten blades exposed, its sharpness stung Iverson's eyes.

"Are you finally going to attack by yourself?" Iverson muttered to himself. In the first half, Kobe had no desire to attack, but Iverson made 12 crazy shots!

Iverson is provoking Kobe!

It's just that Kobe's defense made his provocation go in vain, and his 3-for-12 shooting made Iverson a little uncomfortable.

Now, Kobe is not only defensive, but also on the offensive end.

Kobe took the ball to the top of the arc and waved: "ISO."

O'Neal thought to himself, that's fine, I showed so many balls in the first half, you can play if you want to play in the second half, anyway, I am happy and leisurely.

The wind was a bit noisy last night, and the big diesel engine was too much to bear!

Iverson stared at Kobe, not daring to take it lightly.

How would Kobe handle the ball?

Kobe used a way that no one thought of.

Dribble behind your back, turn around, arch, arch, arch, arch!

Every time Kobe arched, Iverson took a step back. The strength gap between the two was too great.

Arch to the restricted area turned over and hit a jumper.

Iverson was dumbfounded.

The coach on the sidelines was stupid.

The fans in the arena were also stupid.

What the coach thinks is that Kobe still has this back-and-forth attack? It seems that the tactics have to be adjusted again.

What the fans think is, is it a bully? Isn't it, how much taller are you than Iverson, and you still use fadeaway jumpers?

It's like an adult beating a child with a unique skill!

There were boos.

Kobe didn't care, the efficiency of singles like Iverson is the highest. Without double-teaming, Kobe blasted 80% of his shots with his back in front of Iverson.

If there is a frontal breakthrough, Iverson's lateral movement is too fast, and Kobe can't shake him. I can only go in with Iverson, it is difficult to create a perfect shooting space, and the efficiency must not be as high as this.

And Kobe hasn't used post-up singles in a game for a long time. Kobe's hands are itchy. You must know that Kobe's main offensive method in the later stage is post-up.

In this life, due to lack of strength, opponents used large-muscled swingmen to defend Kobe. It is rare to find a thin defender like Iverson.

After Kobe Bryant used the same tactics, the same method, and made the same shots for three consecutive attacks, the 76ers chose to pause.

Iverson kicked the courtside chair hard, damn Kobe.

"Stackhouse, you and Allen switch defenses!" Johnny Davis had no choice but to arrange a new defensive strategy.

"Okay, Coach. I'll crush Kobe's bones! Jerry Stackhouse remembers the humiliation of being blown up when Kobe came to tryouts in the summer when the team was coached by John Lucas.

Now that Starks has a different coach, he feels a lot stronger around Johnny Davis.

It's time to get rid of the shame!

Back on the court, Iverson fed the ball to Coleman, and Coleman made a layup against Campbell.

Kobe holds the ball and Starks bites it.

"Finally it's my turn! Kobe, today I will beat you to the bone!"

With Kobe's indifferent face, how can his defeated opponent speak bravely?

Jerry Stackhouse thinks he has become stronger, but now Kobe is stronger!

Kobe's dribbling rhythm was adjusted. It was no longer a fast dribble with a low center of gravity. Instead, he straightened up and opened and closed.

The raised center of gravity can explode faster, but it is also easier to be intercepted!

Bryant's dribble put disdain for Stackhouse on his face.

"Damn it!" Starks couldn't stand Kobe's mocking dribbling style, and wanted to steal it with a lunge.

Still so frizzy.

Bryant dribbles behind Starks, switches dribblers, changes center of gravity, speeds up the start all in one go.

When Starks tried to get back to the defensive position, Bryant was already a few steps away.

Bryant went inside and jumped up.

Coleman came to the defense, put his hands on the platform, and jumped straight up.

This is a standard defensive position, and the vertical take-off ensures that the attacking cylinder will not be violated. At the same time, his height and wingspan are enough to interfere with outside players.

But what he met was Kobe.

Glides past Coleman.

Pull the bar, lick the basket and score.

"WOW." The ball was beautiful, impossible to score without perfect ball control, coordination, and staying in the air.

The boos of the arena finally began to be mixed with applause, and many Philadelphians began to applaud Kobe.

"Eddie, let's switch defenses."

"OK."

Bryant came to the front of Starks.

Don't you want to get back on the field?

I give you a chance.

Both offense and defense give you opportunities.

Stackhouse understood what Kobe meant and asked Iverson for the ball.

Iverson hesitated and passed it to him.

Stackhouse's tentative step to the right is pretty standard.

But Kobe was unmoved.

Upon seeing this, Stackhouse directly converted the tentative step into a breakthrough.

Bryant steps to the left and quickly finds a defensive position.

Stackhouse's breakthrough was blocked. He turned around and tried to hit Kobe with his back.

Bryant still put his left hand on Stackhouse's hipbone.

Stackhouse arched twice, but the effect was not counted, and Kobe just backed away slightly.

Damn, this kid's strength has also become stronger!

Helpless, Stackhouse turned over and shot a jumper. He has no other offensive options.

Kobe waited for a long time, and at the moment Stackhouse turned around, he jumped up at the same time as Stacks.

Boom!

Clean and crisp cap.

Stackhouse fell to the ground.

The basketball slides toward the 76ers half court.

Kobe looks down at Starks.

This moment freezes.
