My Name is Kobe Bryant

Looking at Kobe, who was surrounded by stars, O'Neal, who was sitting on the bench, didn't feel that way.

Today's Kobe Bryant's influence is still rising steadily after the disintegration of the OK dynasty.

After leaving the Lakers, even though he averaged 30.8 points, 14.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.7 steals, 2.5 blocks and 3.3 turnovers per game, he could only sit on the bench.

A substitute who averages 31+15+5+3 per game?

This is a huge joke.

He should be the protagonist!

He is the one who should be the center of attention!

Now, the spotlight is away from him, and this feeling makes him very uncomfortable.

"Is this the price of leaving the Lakers?" O'Neal suddenly doubted whether leaving the Lakers was a bad decision.

"Is Houston's ball market still too small?" O'Neal suddenly felt that his decline in influence was due to the ball market. Only New York and Los Angeles will have the largest markets and the most attention from fans.

"Yao Ming and Mourning appeared in midfield!"

"The 2002-2003 season, the All-Star Game officially begins!"

As Philadelphia fans cheered, the referee tossed the ball high.

Mourning won the jump ball easily.

Iverson advances with the ball!

The All-Stars in recent years are very different from the past.

After Kobe Bryant joined the league, Kobe and Jordan had to compete to win or lose almost every time they met in the All-Star Game.

Two extremely competitive players raised the level of All-Star confrontation to a new level.

It’s no longer just a performance!

The vast majority of players will pursue victory as much as possible!

Of course, there are still some player exceptions. For example, as soon as he arrived at the All-Star Game, he listened to Popovich's words and was so dumbfounded that he was water skiing.

The vast majority of players are still very eager for All-Star victory!

This is Philadelphia!

This is the answer to Iverson's home court!

This year's Philadelphia 76ers rank fourth in the Eastern Conference, behind the Celtics, Pacers, and Heat.

Philadelphia's record is not very ideal, mainly because the team's role players and rotation are too poor.

The team has three stars: AI, Odom, and Uncle Mu, but the other players are almost unknown by name.

Such a winning rate undoubtedly does not satisfy Iverson.

Defeating Kobe at home and winning an All-Star MVP is undoubtedly a very good choice.

Kobe's defensive AI!

The two of them are undoubtedly the two players with the strongest scoring ability and the most durability in the league!

iron Man!

Kobe once advised Iverson not to play too much time, but AI did everything it could to compete!

A fighter who averages 43.7 minutes per game! No matter in any era, he deserves everyone's respect.

Even without taking a shot, running back and forth on the basketball for 43 minutes can kill half of a person's life. Not to mention that every game is like AI running all over the field!

attack!

Steal!

Assist!

Some people question him for not training?

When he was questioned by this, the AI ​​was so humiliated that it became incoherent!

This is a humiliation!

A disgrace to everyone who loves basketball.

The reporter who asked this question should be thrown in the trash.

If a person puts his all into every game and fights as if it is the last game of his life, will he not train?

A player who relies on his height of less than 1.8 meters to gain a foothold in the crowded NBA, will he not go to training?

A player who came out of the slums and achieved everything because of basketball would not go to training?

ridiculous!

Basketball is everything to AI.

He just wasn't good at expressing it.

There are many great perimeter players in the league now, but there are no more than three players that Kobe really finds difficult to deal with.

AI, McGrady, Carter.

Because AI has the Princeton system, its inexhaustible physical fitness, and its center of gravity that is nearly 20cm lower than Kobe, it is the most difficult for Kobe to defend AI.

If it's 1 vs. 1 SOLO, Kobe can also block the AI ​​in a short period of time.

It is simply impossible to block Iverson for a whole game under the Princeton system, unless Kobe stops scoring.

This is the story that played out in the finals.

"It's open!!! Host AI, the first ball, open the singles match against Kobe Bryant, the strongest player in the league!"

The four stars of McGrady, Penny, Hill, and Mourning pulled away in unison!

Leave the stage to the masters of Philadelphia!

"This is a showdown between two fighters!"

"Butterfly step! The AI ​​swayed continuously, then took a step at super speed, and instantly stopped for a jumper!"

"Quick! Too fast!"

"Kobe's defense is airtight! But the AI ​​still caught the slightest crack and forced a goal!"

"Philadelphia is cheering! Tonight in Philadelphia is destined to be a sleepless night!"

In!

Iverson's face was expressionless, and his pure eyes revealed unruliness.

This is my place!

"Kobe responded!"

Kobe looked at Iverson and raised the corners of his mouth.

In the next round, facing Iverson's defense, he easily pressed his back to the mid-range, turned over steadily and hit a jumper.

Iverson was helpless.

Kobe's height and strength are much higher than his own, and there is no way to defend him with his back.

"Uh... Kobe beats AI too easily..."

"The AI ​​may be able to score in front of Kobe with great difficulty, but there are countless ways for Kobe to defeat Iverson alone."

AI saw this and did not continue to force itself. All-Stars still wanted everyone to participate.

It's impossible for him and Kobe to fight from the beginning to the end. Stars and fans will have opinions.

On the next ball, Iverson and McGrady pick and roll.

Then the ball was handed off to Grant Hill.

Hill passed Duncan in one step, attracted Yao Ming's defense, and threw the ball high.

“Alley-oop!!!”

Mourning dunks with both hands!

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!" Mourning roared!

Yao Ming was expressionless.

Kobe was a little unhappy.

Someone who bullied me?

In the next round, Kobe directly crushed Iverson and broke through the basket.

Pull onions from dry land!

Leap high!

Unstoppable!

The tough guy Mourning was frightened when he saw this posture!

"Forget it, it's just All-Star, let him dunk."

Exit the bottom line in a flash.

"Bang!"

Kobe's tomahawk dunk!

The scene of the tough guy Mourning retreating was caught on camera, which caused roars of laughter.

Mourning, on the other hand, was indifferent.

How many centers have been dunked by Kobe over the years? He wouldn't be stupid enough to get into trouble.

At the beginning of the All-Star Game, the stars started to fight with real swords and guns!

Iverson hit Kobe on the head, Kobe must return it!

McGrady pulled out Carter, and Carter hit the inside with the next ball and hit a big windmill!

Hill broke through Duncan, and Garnett, the Wolf King, flew up to block the shot!

Pass control!

Cooperate!

Individual ability!

These stars know how to play together!

As Pat Riley said, never worry about great players not being able to work together, they will find a way to play together!

gorgeous!

The best players on the planet, contributing to the most beautiful games!

"Let's show off! Every star is showing off!"

"The intensity of the game is very high! These are the best players in the world, playing their best games!"

Dunk!

Three points!

Block shot!

Steal!

empty link!

passionate!

Passionate!

The stars played so selflessly!

The fans watched with excitement!

This is basketball at its best.

Even Michael Jordan, who was far away in North Carolina, couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

If it weren't for the Hornets owner who was planning to sell part of his shares to Jordan, and the owner of the shares would not be allowed to play, otherwise Jordan would really be considering whether to make a comeback.

"Drink!" Garnett, the wolf king, flew into the sky, caught Kobe's basketball that bounced off the backboard, and slammed the ball into the basket!

Violence! Iron-blooded! Vigorous!

Drop your feet and stretch your chest! Look up to the sky and scream!

"Kobe! It's so great to play with you!"

"One day, will we have a chance to be real teammates?"

The current Wolf King has been struggling in the Western Conference for many years, but the team's reinforcements have not yet seen results.

As Tom Gugliotta ages, Wally Szczerbiak fills the gap.

The current Timberwolves have a trio of Garnett, Marbury, and Wally Szczerbiak.

But there is some opposition to Philadelphia. The core players are good, but the outstanding role players are not willing to come to Minnesota, a place of ice and snow, to play for the Wolf King.

After all, if the contract is similar, why not go to the southern ball market with higher exposure and more comfortable living environment?

The Timberwolves have struggled in the past few years between third and sixth in the Western Conference.

But this does not affect the greatness of Kevin Garnett!

Garnett, the Wolf King, has become the most popular power forward in the league!

His popularity even far exceeds that of Duncan.

The Wolf King's style of play is so popular.

Almighty, iron-blooded, and with a handsome face that is rare among black people, he has become the most popular power forward in the league!

Although the current Wolf King still wants to stay in the Timberwolves, he communicates with so many top stars at the Mamba Academy every summer, and he also has his own ideas in advance.

The Wolf King believes that if he partners with Kobe!

That will be a stronger combination than OK!

"Maybe one day." Kobe smiled.

Compared with the bulky O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, who is highly mobile and has more options in pick-and-roll options, is undoubtedly a more suitable teammate for him.

"Big Yao! Fuck him!" Kobe forced the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming, who was a bit reluctant to let go in the All-Star Game, was told to hit him!

"Hey! Rookie! The NBA is not as simple as you think. This is a stage for adults! Are you ready to get your ass kicked?"

"I'm not bulky like Shaq, I'm the best defensive player!"

"Cena! You talk too much nonsense!" Even good old Yao Ming was irritated!

Why is this alliance always being teased by these guys wherever it goes? ? ?

Arch hard!

Massive collision!

Mourning is stronger!

But he obviously didn't realize that Yao Ming would confront him in the most aggressive way!

In his eyes, Asians are weak!

But Yao Ming's huge power shocked him!

He will stick to it in the next second! He knows that Yao Ming is good at fadeaway jumpers! He has seen such fadeaway jumpers countless times after a confrontation!

Yao Ming did not choose to lean back!

Instead, turn around!

The steps were like a tango, passing by Mourning!

Get into the restricted area!

Pull the ball behind your head with both hands!

Powerful dunk!

"Bang!"

Yao Ming hung on the basket!

Mourning, who stayed where he was, was stunned!

The audience in Philadelphia cheered wildly for this giant who was close to 2.3 fans!

"Beautiful! Beautiful! I have never seen a big man move so gracefully!"

"Violent dunk! The rim is shaking!"

"This is the little giant of the East!"

Wonderful!

In particular, his opponent is Mourning, the tough guy with the best defensive position in the league and first-class speed and strength!

He is a gatekeeper who can average 3.7 blocks per game!

Even the All-Star players present found this shot exciting.

This made many stars look at Yao Ming seriously for the first time!

Maybe this guy really has star-level abilities!

The situation in the first quarter of the All-Star game was evenly matched between the players on both sides.

In the second half of the first quarter, Pitino and Curt Rambis began to substitute.

An inside beast with 30.8 points and 14.6 rebounds! Come on bravely!

I’m so suffocated!

"Ha! It's my turn to perform!" O'Neal was furious as soon as he came on the stage!

Facing O'Neal Jr., the Shark received consecutive passes from Francis and completed dunks!

Francis is excited too!

It’s like an elf moving through the whole place!

Dunk!

Pull the lever!

In the second half of the first quarter, the Houston duo dominated the bench!

West 35:31 East, slightly ahead by 4 points.

Then enter the second quarter.

Alternate starting and rotation lineups.

In the West, Pierce and Webb continued to play wonderful coordinated hits!

On the Eastern side, Jason Kidd assisted Ray Allen and Eddie Jones and scored three-pointers in turn!

But O'Neal Jr. here in the East has no way to stop O'Neal!

It's like a younger brother meets an older brother!

O'Neal is no match for the Sharks!

O'Neal Jr.'s biggest advantage is mobility, but O'Neal completely ignored it and simply crushed him.

Then Ben Wallace was replaced to fight against O'Neal!

These former teammates began a brutal collision between flesh and blood!

O'Neal is going crazy today, what he wants is the All-Star MVP!

Won AMVP as a substitute! I'm afraid Kobe is going to be so angry!

For this goal, O'Neal tried his best!

And the big book is also very simple!

He knows the grudge between Kobe and O'Neal, and he is 100% on the side of his former boss Kobe!

Thinking of O'Neal bullying him as a rookie, Ben became even more determined!

"Hey! Ben! You want to stop me too?" O'Neal stared at Ben Wallace fiercely.

But Da Ben didn’t say a word! The meaning is very obvious!

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!"

Two tough guys!

Crazy impact!

That kind of collision simply made Philadelphia's First United Center tremble!

In the end, O'Neal forced himself against the target and stuffed the ball into the basket!

His weight and height advantages are still very obvious.

In this era, there are no players inside who can guard O'Neal.

O'Neal is invincible, especially in a short period of time.

But O'Neill frowned.

If Big Ben competes with him like this for every ball, even the Sharks won't feel comfortable.

tough!

Big Ben's toughness far exceeded O'Neal's expectations.

In his memory, Ben was still the little brother who could be bullied casually.

Now, he seems to be the best defensive center in the league.

The plan to win AMVP seems to have been severely blocked.
