My Name is Kobe Bryant

On December 2, there is one day before the game against the Sonics.

The players gathered in the training hall to prepare for tomorrow's game together.

Rambis led everyone to watch the video and analyze it.

"This is the latest video of the SuperSonics. They are currently ranked third in the Western Conference with 14 wins and 4 losses. They have only lost one of the last ten games, and they lost to the Jazz."

"When we study their game, they are a dynamic offensive team. They are running and playing under the leadership of George Karl! They solve team after team with their excellent physical talent and shooting ability. "

"Their defense depends entirely on Payton and Kemp, and these two people really support the team's defense! Sean Kemp is currently averaging 18.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks per game!"

"Gary Payton averaged 21.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.4 steals per game."

"These two guys build a cage! A cage that's both inside and out. If you want to beat the Sonics, you have to break through the defense of these two people."

"Let's talk about their role player, shooting guard Jose Hawkins, 1.91 meters and 85 kilograms. At his peak, he averaged 22.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game. This season he also averaged 15.6 points per game."

"Small forward Detlef Schramf, a 2.06-meter big shooter, averaged 16.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. The range is very long."

"Center Jim McIlvaine. A 2.16m and 116kg giant inside, he will mainly defend O'Neal, and Kemp will wait for an opportunity to help defend."

"This is the Sonics lineup. There are four players who can easily score more than 20 points, and there are two top defensive players."

"This is the strength of last year's Western Conference champion. A strong team that fought against Jordan in 6 games."

The players fell silent. This team was in its prime and seemed difficult to deal with.

Rambis felt a little guilty when he saw the atmosphere of the team fell silent. He just wants the players to be more vigilant and not to underestimate the enemy, but it seems that he is a little bit overwhelmed by other people's ambitions.

Kobe's low voice resounded through the video room: "But, we are stronger!"

"That's right!"

"We are number one in the league!"

"The Jazz can beat the Sonics, and if we beat the Jazz, we can win."

Kobe's words made the teammates full of confidence. We have O'Neal and Kobe, so what do we need to be afraid of?

Time passed quickly, and night was about to fall.

Under the spotlight of the Great Western Forum, the game between the Lakers and the Sonics is about to be staged.

This battle for the top spot in the Western Conference is still live broadcast across the United States. The number of live broadcast games in the United States this year for the Lakers is second only to the Bulls, which shows the popularity of the team.

"The first player to play is, Lower Main High School, Wonder Boy, No. 8 Shooting Guard, Kobe——————— Bryant!"

"WOW~" cheers and applause resounded throughout the stadium, the sound of the DJ and the shouts of the audience made Kobe intoxicated.

The commentators for this game are Goodrich and James Worthy.

"Look, what is our Wonder Boy doing?"

"Shooting in the middle circle? LOGO SHOT?"

"Count how many he has entered?"

"Seven out of 10 shots! Incredible touch."

"Are you saying this will be his regular weapon?"

"Don't be funny, the shooting coach will kill him."

Kobe looked at his right hand, which felt a little hot today.

"Stop acting like a monkey! Your kid is just like Kobe." A shiny black braised egg approached.

"SHUT UP!"

"Let me tell you, you don't even want to score in this game. Look at my biceps, look at my casserole-sized fists. If you dare to make a shot, I will press it down for you. Believe it or not."

"Shut up, braised egg."

Gary Payton continued to spout trash talk. In his opinion, the average rookie would definitely explode under his trash talk.

"It's terrible, the marinated egg has a mouth." Kobe looked contemptuous.

"Who are you talking about? Young hair is amazing. Bald is strong, don't you know?"

"So it's bald, not shaved. Tsk tsk."

"Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, what a mess!" This time, Gary Payton's mentality exploded, and he rushed forward to make it clear to Kobe.

Seeing this, the referee quickly separated the two. The game was so hot before it even started.

The referee puts the players in position and throws the ball high.

Like a fat dragon in the sky, O'Neal quickly bounced off the point and flew the basketball.

Kobe held the ball, and Gary Payton posted it before halftime.

"Do you know why I'm called a glove? You'll soon find out!"

Body collisions, jersey jerks, knee locks and other small movements were used by Gary Payton with great proficiency, but Kobe had already guarded against them. Kobe turned his back to avoid Payton's pounce, and directly wiped it with a stride.

pass? Payton was too confident, and Kobe found a chance to pass through too aggressively.

hateful! It's not that simple, Payton turned his head and Kobe chased after him. Kobe ignored it and went straight to the basket.

Kemp assisted in the defense, Kemp's speed is definitely not like an insider, and he appeared in front of Kobe in an instant.

Kobe only had eyes for the basket, Kemp? Peyton? He doesn't even care.

Receive the ball one step outside the free throw line, and take a big step to fly up.

Seeing that Payton behind him couldn't stop Kobe, he reached out and grabbed Kobe's jersey!

Kobe's jersey was pulled in the air and he lost his balance! Kemp jumped high, covering the sky and the sun!

Still useless!

Switch the ball from his right hand to his left, dodge Kemp's block, and throw the ball high off-balance.

"Shua." The basketball went into the net hollowly, and the referee whistled.

2+1!

This can also enter? Peyton was dumbfounded.

"Thirty-thirty, twenty-seven points left." Kobe made a free throw under the applause of the whole house.

Payton's face was flushed, and the zero-block announcement was a failure from the first offense and defense.

In the transition between offense and defense, Payton decided to single out Kobe.

how to spell? Of course it's back, such a thin 18-year-old rookie, doesn't he have to use his body to force him?

Kobe knew Payton definitely didn't watch the Lakers-Jazz game

The low-post defensive ability that Malone can't beat is something you, a small man with a height of 1.93 meters, can beat.

Gary Payton's post-up jumper was directly pushed to the ground by Kobe. He didn't realize that the other players in the Sonics had no time to retreat, and Eddie Jones scored a fast break.

Be honest, now Gary Payton is being honest, and started to organize the team's offense, playing a pick-and-roll with Kemp.

The Lakers' pick-and-roll defense against the Sonics is to go back. Gary Payton averaged 4.6 three-pointers per game but made 1.5 hits. The hit rate of 31.3% is nothing to fear.

Payton made a pass to Detlef Schrempf and made a three-pointer in front of Bowen.

"DUANG!" The bullet came out, a long rebound!

Bryant grabs the rebound, throws it to Eddie Jones, and Eddie Jones dunks again in front of little Jose Hawkins!

7:0!

The Sonics chose a timeout.
