My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Boy, did you see how I insulted your teammates? You can't help it, you're finally on the court." As soon as he arrived on the court, Payton's trash talk followed him to find Kobe.

"I saw you were cheated by Da Ben."

"That's a tactical move. You can't understand my tactics with your life experience."

"You were cheated by Big Ben."

"Why are you so stupid, as an American basketball player, is it embarrassing to be taken for a ride?"

"Hehe, you've been fooled by Big Ben."

There was no way to talk anymore this day, Payton closed his mouth and waited for the next opportunity to rant.

It's a pity he couldn't find this opportunity.

33:35 The Lakers lead by 2 points.

In the contest between the Lakers' substitutes and the opponent's starting lineup, they inevitably fell into a disadvantage and were chased by the supersonic starting stars.

But this is a test for the substitute players. The Lakers want to aim for the championship, and the substitute is a group of recruits. They have to go through these high-intensity confrontations in order to thrive.

Both Kobe and Harris know this, which is why Harris tried to shorten the playing time of the OK combination while ensuring the results.

Bryant's average playing time this season is 31.8 minutes, O'Neal is 34.5 minutes. Both of these times are far below the playing time of the current league stars.

Under this kind of training, Daben has grown into an excellent defender, and his single defense and assist defense are very outstanding. The only shortcoming is his ability to finish at the basket.

Fisher's current three-pointer is relatively stable, and Kobe feels that he needs to continue to improve his defense.

Back on the court, the Lakers have the ball.

Kobe held the ball, turned half his back, and leaned against Payton, making Payton's flailing defense ineffective at all.

Look up and watch the players move up the field and pass the ball to Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones passes to O'Neal in the low post.

O'Neal pretended to play back, and passed the ball straight to Kobe in the middle without looking at people. Kobe caught the ball and went to the basket for a layup.

Easy and freehand.

Benefiting from Kobe's familiarity with O'Neal, O'Neal's tacit understanding of Kobe is also gradually improving.

The main tactics of the Lakers team have also become more abundant. It is no longer Kobe's unilateral series, and he has also begun to benefit from O'Neal's offensive involvement.

This is a beautiful high-low combination of air-cut tactics, using O'Neal's offensive containment and Kobe's off-the-ball ability. Harris applauded from the sidelines. This is the team's offense he hopes to see.

Payton was annoyed, this kid was as slippery as a loach, and he couldn't get stuck at all.

Kobe's scoring methods are too many and too complicated, pick-and-roll with the ball, three-pointers without the ball, cuts to the basket and changing methods, leaving Payton at a loss as to what to do.

Turning around, Payton and the pass Detlef Schramf, the tall pitcher hit the jumper again against the defender.

Detlef Schramf went crazy today, and neither Eddie Jones nor Bowen could stop him.

But how long will his touch last? Few players can maintain the feel of the whole game, and there will be very big ups and downs in the first half and the second half.

At the end of the second quarter, the Sonics maintained the score with Detref Schramf's good touch.

On the Lakers side, Kobe began to connect the team. It was no longer a two-man game between Kobe and O'Neal. Eddie Jones and Campbell stood up and scored again and again.

At halftime, the Lakers led by 3 points at 58:61, and the two teams scored a very high score. Few teams can match the Sonics offense, and the Lakers did.

Kobe, as the arrow on the offensive end, tore apart Payton's defense in the glove, and then connected the team into a whole, playing a very high offensive efficiency.

In the half, he had 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His performance can be said to blow Payton off. Payton made 1 of 5 shots in front of Kobe, and he had no power to fight back.

O'Neal still scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists under the defensive strategy of Jim McElvine, a big tall man who defended against him and Kemp waited for an opportunity to help. When Kobe took more responsibility for finishing, he shared some of the ball Team organization.

Jim McElvine scored 17 points and 4 rebounds in the half, which can be said to be the biggest contributor to the Sonics' offensive end.

Sean Kemp had 11 points and 7 rebounds, Jose Hawkins had 8 points and 2 assists, and Gary Payton had 6 points and 5 assists.

The Sonics' offense is really terrifying. This is the first game this season that a team can face the Lakers' defense and score 58 points in the second half.

"The Lakers' offense is very beautiful, but they need more to contain the Sonics' scoring." Goodrich analyzed in the midfield.

"The Sonics' offensive is getting more and more fierce. The third quarter is the key. The Lakers must withstand this wave of Sonics' offense."

The plot of the second half was as expected by Goodrich. At the beginning, the Sonics quickly launched a counterattack.

First, Kemp knocked Campbell away from the basket and scored a dunk, and then Jose Hawkins hit a three-pointer, instantly overtaking the score.

"Focus, focus!" Harris jumped anxiously on the sidelines.

Kobe frowned, and his teammates were a little confused.

Then use your own way to wake them up!

Wonderful goals, difficult goals are the most able to improve team morale.

Kobe came to Payton with the ball.

This ball!

Kobe intends to fight head-on!

Payton took small steps to stick to Kobe, not daring to let Kobe go too far. Kobe's three-plus-one at the end of the first quarter was still vivid in his memory, and he didn't dare to take the risk of letting Kobe take a three-pointer.

Kobe didn't use the rhythm to adjust the dribble. This offensive method will not please the experienced Payton.

The center of gravity is lowered, the left foot is exerted, and the body breaks through to the right.

Payton took his time and stepped to block Kobe.

Kobe disguised himself in front of his body, switched ball holders, and went left!

Payton took a step back to the right and sealed it again!

Waiting for your step back, Kobe pulled the ball back and took a quick step back.

If it is an ordinary defensive player, this action can create a very large offensive space.

But Payton seemed to have violated his inertia, turned his body around, and once again defended himself in front of Kobe.

Sealed! Kobe's three changes of direction were blocked!

This is the defensive ability of the best defensive player with the ball!

There is no room left! Everyone thought Kobe would stop the ball!

But Kobe didn't, and changed direction again!

The left-handed ball was crossed with the right hand, and while avoiding Payton's steal, it passed from Payton's side.

Peyton still wanted to back up, but his footsteps didn't listen to him. He leaned back, staggered and fell to the ground.

impossible! He can't break through me!

Bryant made a steady mid-range shot from the free throw line.

Here we go!

Kobe's CROSSOVER knocked Payton down.

The audience didn't know what happened, and the slow motion on the big screen showed Kobe's actions.

Change direction 4 times in 5 seconds!

All the movements were done in one go, and Payton seemed to be rehearsed with him, dancing back and forth with Kobe's footsteps, and finally fell to the ground.

Too bad, the Sonics players stepped forward to help Payton.

"This mid-range shot counts as 10 points!" Goodrich stood up from the stool in the studio, pulled off his tie, and wanted to rush to the court with enthusiasm.

"This ball-handling performance, 10 points is no problem!" James Worthy hurriedly grabbed his friend.

What a shame! Payton's face darkened two degrees, and this ball will engrave him on the pillar of shame.

"Gary, you look so funny." O'Neill laughed, rolling back and forth on the floor imitating Peyton's falling to the ground.

"Don't be ashamed!" Kobe and Campbell worked together to stop O'Neal's trickery and pulled him up from the ground.

George Karl saw that the players on the field were in a bad mood and hurriedly called a timeout.
