My Name is Kobe Bryant

"That's what I meant." Kobe's eyes full of fighting spirit looked directly at His Majesty the Flying Man!

In this game, Kobe planned to end the battle early!

Since Jordan is exerting his strength, Kobe will of course have to step up!

In G1, two of the strongest players in basketball history only scored mediocre 39 points and 41 points. Compared to the phenomenon-level confrontation last year, it was still a lot worse.

This is related to many factors. It's not that the two's combat power has become weaker. As long as they think about it, they are still the GOAT who can watch 60+70+.

First, they need to let their teammates find the feeling of confrontation in the finals. You also need to integrate into the team's offense and let your teammates participate.

This year's Lakers and Hornets are the teams with the deepest lineups that Kobe and Jordan have ever played in their careers!

For these two, they will certainly take advantage of their team's depth.

The management has spent so much money to build a lineup, but if two people end up playing alone, it's completely unnecessary.

Their teammates! Also has the ability to change an entire series.

On the other hand, it is the shark-killing tactic.

The battle between Kobe and Jordan was mostly concentrated in the decisive moments in the second half of the game.

As soon as the shark-cutting tactic came out, the critical time was fragmented.

Kobe didn't miss the ball.

Jordan also had no way to find a rhythm with continuous offense.

But this game is completely different!

"Michael Jordan invited Kobe to fight! How will Kobe respond in the next round?"

Kobe advances with the ball.

It's still Grant Hill's defense.

"Hill defended Kobe and Bowen defended Jordan. The two were competing against each other in the air!"

"Based on what I know about Kobe, Kobe will definitely hit this shot himself!"

"It's open! The four Lakers players are open!"

"There is no strategy! Kobe just wants to fight one-on-one!"

The basketball jumped back and forth in Kobe's hands.

Lean over!

Lower the center of gravity!

His eyes seemed to exude murderous intent!

A black mamba aura emanated.

Grant Hill bore the brunt.

Hill opened his hands and slowly adjusted his center of gravity to the rhythm of Kobe's dribbling.

"Moved!!!"

Kobe switched from dribbling slowly to accelerating in an instant!

Such an abrupt change of pace!

Hill's reaction was a little slow!

One step slow!

Step by step slowly!

Kobe blocked Hill with his left hand!

At the moment of contact, his left foot kicked the ground and his left hand swung!

Throw Hill behind him!

This is a little tip for a defender to break through!

Use the ball protector to control body contact first, and then grab the opponent behind you!

"Damn it!"

Hill didn't give up!

Although he was thrown away by Kobe!

But he followed Kobe closely!

His height, wingspan, and jumping advantage are all he needs as long as he can follow behind him! He has the confidence to give Kobe a nail-biter!

Divac makes a defense!

In front is Divac, behind is Hill!

Kobe Bryant!

Take three big steps!

Kick the ground hard with your right foot!

Soar into the sky!

Hold the basketball high with your right hand!

Divac puts his hands up! His giant-like height and weight make him intimidating!

Hill jumped up from behind at the same time!

He can jump higher than Kobe!

"Glide! Kobe is gliding!" Dr. J shouted.

Kobe Bryant soared to the highest point!

But suddenly he put the basketball ball in his right hand into his chest!

Hill's big hand slapped the air!

Then he used an incredible stretch to move the ball to his left hand!

Use your waist and abdomen to exert force! Soar into the air for the second time!

Treat Divac as nothing!

Dunk the ball into the basket with your left hand!

The whole person also fell down!

"beep!"

"AND ONE!"

The ref's scoop sent Charlotte Coliseum into a tizzy.

Then some fans applauded involuntarily.

"This is why the NBA is so fascinating!" Larry Bird clenched his fists.

This shot reminded him of Jordan's pullover when he leaped over Magic's head!

"This is stuck in the air! I saw the shadow of my past!" Dr. J, the first-generation flyer, exclaimed. He was originally a strong supporter of Hill, but he had to admit that Kobe's shot was too strong!

"Here it comes! Kobe's response is here!" The fans who were watching the big screen at the Great Western Forum shouted wildly!

"Viewers in front of the TV! Please remember this moment, this will become one of the greatest dunks in the NBA in the 20th century!"

The Lakers players rushed over and pulled Kobe up from the ground.

Jordan and Hill looked a little ugly.

This kind of ball is too demoralizing.

It was far more heart-wrenching than the mid-step shot Jordan just made!

Kobe pouted proudly!

He patted the non-existent dust on his jersey.

This ball! After spreading his belly, he was planning to pick up the basket!

But the basket was at hand, and he dunked it in as soon as he was ruthless.

If Kobe were to try this kind of dunk again, he might not be able to dunk it!

The difficulty is too high!

This kind of dunk is the kind of dunk that can win the slam dunk contest!

A solid free throw!

His eyes glanced at Jordan.

Danzi!

ITS YOUR TURN!

How can Jordan be the one who can endure it!

Keep beating Bowen!

He simply changed direction in advance to shake Bowen away, then pulled him outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer!

Jordan's three-pointer has become one of his regular weapons!

The three-point shooting percentage has also increased to 42.5%, averaging 1.8 three-pointers per game!

Compared to Kobe's 8.9 three-point attempts! 40.2% hit rate, 3.5 hits!

The hit rate is even higher!

"It's going strong! Kobe and Michael are going strong in the second quarter!"

"Currently Jordan 5:3 Kobe!"

"This gorgeous swing and smooth three-point shot are simply art!"

"Bowen was confused by Jordan!"

"Facing Hill, Bowen could still defend like a champ. But when facing the furious Michael Jordan, he looked clumsy!"

"It's not that Bowen's defense is bad, but Jordan's offense has reached another level."

"Kobe and Michael won't compete like last season!?"

"If this continues, which side do you think has the greater advantage?"

"Assuming there is not much difference in the offense between Kobe and Jordan, the defensive pressure from Bowen and Hill may affect the final result."

That’s right!

Facing Bowen's defense, Jordan made every shot very easily!

A few simple movements can create shooting space.

When Kobe faced Hill, he still racked his brains for the second ball before using a difficult fade-away three-pointer.

The difficulty of shooting that two people need to make is completely different!

The more this happens, the more excited Kobe becomes!

"Facade three-pointer! Pull-up layup! Dreamy footsteps! Every shot made by Kobe is extremely difficult!"

"Jordan is like an ordinary defender, using the simplest test steps! Mid-range shot! Three-pointer! Occasionally, he will rush in for a basket!"

"These are the two extremes of basketball!"

"Kobe's skills were pushed to the extreme! Countless tedious little moves were intertwined into one difficult attack after another!"

"Jordan is back to basics, the ultimate in basic skills! It's not gorgeous, but it's terrifyingly practical!"

"Both of them play the basketball that suits them best based on their physical talents!"

"Kobe's wingspan is limited, so he has to create shooting space with such difficulty."

"Jordan is a crushing talent. In order to maintain efficiency and physical fitness, every action is streamlined to the extreme!"

Halftime is over!

Peak showdown!

Jordan and Kobe competed against each other again!

Kobe scored 26 points on 10 of 17 shots in the first half!

Jordan scored 21 points on 8-of-15 shooting in the first half!

The performance of the two people is very close!

But the game didn't go the way Jordan and Jackson expected.

Lakers 61:51 Hornets!

Still a 10-point difference!

The battle between Kobe and Jordan did not allow the Hornets to recover a single point!

The 10-point gap is like a natural chasm, spanning in front of Jordan!

"Damn it! How come this guy can hit such a high shooting percentage against Grant's defense?"

Jordan's dark and shiny bald head was dripping with sweat. He wiped it with his jersey, still looking puzzled.

In the training game, even if Jordan and Hill were dueling, it would not be so easy to score!

Hill's innate hardware conditions are great!

Moreover, Hill's defense against Kobe in the second quarter, even if it was as strict as Jordan's, could not find a single fault.

Hill pushed Kobe into a desperate situation with almost every ball, forcing him to use extremely difficult shots to finish.

This defense is definitely a success!

For any player, being defended like this almost means being locked up!

And Kobe just made it!

Super difficult!

The body twists in the air!

Many technical action basketball coaches will scold you when they see it!

But Kobe used it!

Just ignore defense!

Just can get in!

"This is the MVP who averaged 41.9 points per game!!! Kobe beat Hill in the first half, locked up Hill, and even went toe-to-toe with Jordan to score 26 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block!!!"

"Can do anything! This is the level of the NBA GOAT! Jordan also scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the half, which also prevented O'Neal from getting too many chances to take action!"

"Kobe and Jordan are equally great! However, Kobe locked up Hill when he exploded. Jordan defeated Bowen and restricted O'Neal at the same time!"

"Both of them performed at a dominant level! It is difficult to find two players like this in history, who can change the situation of the game on both offense and defense!"

"The Hornets trailed by ten points! The Lakers entered the second half with a double-digit point difference!"

"But the duel between Jordan and Kobe has not yet decided!"

"See you in the second half!"

"There was no clear winner between Jordan and Kobe in the second quarter! I'm afraid they will continue to fight in the third quarter."

"Not necessarily. The Hornets will definitely make adjustments because they didn't catch up with the score. It would be more appropriate for Jordan to start at the beginning of the fourth quarter."

"Jordan may rest, but Kobe won't."

In the Great Western Forum Arena, countless Lakers fans are eagerly looking forward to a victory!

If the Lakers can return home with 1:1! So the hope for this year’s championship is too great!

If we return to Los Angeles 0:2, even if we have the home court advantage, we are likely to be overwhelmed by the Hornets!

Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, is not the kind of player who can easily make his opponents comeback.

Once he has the advantage, Jordan will put pressure on him to the death!

At this time, in the Hornets' locker room, Jackson and Jordan also had different opinions.

"Phil! Let me go on! I can get Kobe in the third quarter."

"No! Michael, you rest and hand over to Grant in the third quarter. I need you to work hard at the beginning of the fourth quarter! Until you enter the shark-cutting rhythm in the second half of the fourth quarter."

"In the third quarter, we don't let the score open up."

"In the fourth quarter, Michael, you work hard to recover the score. Then, use the shark-slashing tactic to kill the Lakers!"

There is no doubt that the Zen master assigned the task of the second half.

Although Jordan was unhappy and wanted to decide the outcome with Kobe, he could only agree.

Jordan still has great trust and respect for Zen Master.

The Zen master had his own considerations at this time.

After all, Jordan is older, and his physical fitness cannot be compared with that of Kobe, who is less than 21 years old.

We can't let Jordan and Kobe compete for a whole game!

The finals of last season have proven that if the two of them fight against each other, the final winner will definitely be Kobe!

Hill must be allowed to protect Jordan!

As long as the score difference does not exceed 5 points in the second half of the last quarter, Master Zen will be fully confident that he can use Shark Slash to win!

In this way, you only need to worry about two points in the second half!

After Jordan resumes his regular scoring mode, can Hill keep the score at around 10 points?

Can Jordan get the score back in the fourth quarter when Kobe's physical strength is severely exhausted?

"Coca-Cola! Your best choice for exercise!"

"That's right! Drink Coca-Cola! You will become fat, and when you are fat, you will want to lose weight and exercise! So there is no problem that Coca-Cola is the best sports drink!"

“No dog drinks Pepsi!”

"Okay, let's stop it. The second half is about to begin." Penny Hardaway stopped the slightly exaggerated advertisements of Dr. J and Ma Fu.

"The Hornets have the ball! Let's see if the Hornets will make any changes in the second half?"

"Changed! Ryder holds the ball!"

"Leave it to Grant Hill down low!"

"Hill changed his style of play! Instead of holding the ball to attack, he dropped to the low post and attacked Kobe alone!"

"I hit Kobe twice in a row, then turned over and shot a jumper!"

"Hit!"

Kobe touched his chest.

Hill's strength is indeed that of a heavy small forward! A small forward who averages 10+ rebounds per game! Even in the era of poetry explosion in later generations, few players could do it!

Antetokounmpo! That kind of bug can do it!

James can do it when he goes all out, but he likes paddling too much in the regular season.

Durant may be able to do it, but it can easily lead to injuries.

Anthony and Kawhi are both a little behind. They can often achieve 10+ rebounds, but averaging 10+ rebounds per game in a season is not enough.

And Hill was 9.8 once and 9.0 once!

This season, he averaged 27.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.9 turnovers per game!

This was accomplished in today's era of iron-blooded fighting!

When Hill started to wake up and hit Kobe in the low post!

The most severe defensive challenge has arrived!

The pain in his chest made Kobe curl his lips.

Black Mamba is never afraid of challenges!

Kobe can go inside to beat Malone in his rookie season!

Why don't you dare to go to Ding Hill now?

Not only does he have to withstand Hill on the defensive end!

He will also expand the score to a point where the Hornets can't catch up in the third quarter!
