Reborn My Name Is Kobe

In the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, Shaq and I could only sit on the bench and watch our teammates play. But fortunately, the Raptors also encountered a scoring drought that lasted for several minutes after the fourth quarter, so even though we

The scoring efficiency here is not high, but the score is still closer to 6 points.

In the last 7 minutes of the game, the opponent's coach called a timeout. At this time, the score difference between the two sides was 7 points. I was quite satisfied with this. I thought that the rest would be left to me and Shaq. We will definitely do it.

I will fight back hard.

After the start of the second half, Shaq's foul count has been quite well controlled. He has still committed three fouls so far, which allows him to fully exert his power after recovering his physical strength.

After coming up this time, Shaq learned a lot. He no longer went crazy for the ball and played in isolation. Instead, he took the initiative to play a pick-and-roll with me. Seeing this, I also understood and used the pick-and-roll with Shaq to make continuous shots.

Made two mid-range jumpers near the free throw line.

In today's game, I rarely tried to shoot three-pointers. I mostly broke through to the inside to cause damage. After all, the players who the opponent just started to defend me were shorter, but then they sent forwards to attack me.

Defensively, my offensive options began to gradually expand to the outside.

Now Shaq is finally willing to take the initiative to cooperate with me in pick-and-rolls, which makes the game a little simpler. Although Shaq and I's personal playing ability can indeed directly determine the outcome of the game at critical moments, if the entire game

If we complete the game in singles, it will consume too much physical energy on us, because I found that many opponents seemed to start to double-team the two of us in advance with high intensity.

At this time, the pick-and-roll efficiency of Shaq and I is very important. This can help us decipher most of the opponent's defensive strategies, turn the situation into a one-on-one situation again, and also allow Shaq to get the opportunity to cut inside and easily catch the ball and dunk.

.

Speaking of this, I actually made some adjustments to some of the later small ball tactics, and then added them to my own style of play. In fact, in the games of this era, Shaq is obviously not the kind of player that Capela is.

He is a center who is a pie, but obviously if Shaq is willing to become a pie-eating role like Capela during a certain period of the game, then his own offensive burden will be reduced a lot.

But to be honest, if he hadn't been physically exhausted today, I don't think he would be willing to come over and play a lot of pick-and-roll tactics with me, because it would make him feel that his dominance has been reduced, and he prefers

The goal is to catch the ball inside and then carry the opponent's two or three defensive players to smash the ball into the basket.

In any case, our tactics paid off quickly. The score difference was only 2 points at this time, and the opponent's coach once again called a timeout. At this time, there was less than three minutes left before the end of the game.

.

At this time, Shaq returned to his original self. He kept telling the people around him that we would just drop the ball to him later. We only need to wait outside, and he alone can completely destroy the opponent's inside line.

Break through.

I can only shake my head helplessly. Who is this guy? He is the boss of the current Lakers team, and he always appears to be particularly stubborn at critical moments, just like a stubborn and willful child.

I don't want to pay attention to the truth.

temporarily

After the stop, our offense once again returned to the rhythm of Shaq holding the ball and playing in isolation. This made me very unhappy. After all, I hoped that the ball would be in my hands at the last moment. The buzzer beater in the previous game made me very unhappy.

It has increased my self-confidence a lot. If I have the opportunity to hit the winning goal again, I will take it without hesitation.

Unfortunately, the opponent didn't have time to change their defensive strategy. Shaq hit two consecutive 2+1s in the paint, but unfortunately he couldn't hit the free throws. His free throws in this game were simply terrible. He seemed to hit all 20 free throws.

He made 6 free throws, which is simply terrifying. He also always boasts that his free throw shooting percentage can increase to more than 80% at critical moments. I think it is very high.

Sure enough, the opponent directly started to use the shark-cutting tactic in the next round. In this era, the shark-cutting tactic has just emerged, and the league has not yet imposed any rules restrictions on it. Even if the game has entered the last 2 minutes, the opponent can still do it.

Unscrupulously fouled Shaq.

At this time, we already had a 3-point advantage, and the remaining time in the game was less than 30 seconds. However, in the next two rounds, Shaq was unwilling to obey the coach's instructions and return to the bench. He insisted on claiming that his

I can definitely get my free throw shooting feeling back.

However, the fact is that he did not take even one of the next four free throw opportunities given to him by the opponent. It was already 10 consecutive free throw attempts and he missed a single one.

Horrible! Simply terrible!

I mean, the highlight opportunity at the last moment of the game came to the opponent. Camby received a difficult lob from Stoudemire in the last attack. When the first ball was not caught securely, Camby

The second attack also resulted in Shaq's fourth personal foul. I really can't figure out why he fouled the ball. There were less than 10 seconds left in the game, and the opponent was 3 points behind us.

So what if I give up two points to them?

As a result, Camby hit a free throw, and the score between the two sides reached 97. The coach immediately stopped the game. I saw the black line on Shaq's face very clearly, so I didn't dare to touch him at this time. In fact,

No one on the team dared to accuse Shaq head-on.

The coach arranged a final attack tactic for me, and I was still confident about it. I felt that taking action myself was definitely the best choice.

But when the timeout came back, the problem that had troubled people all over the world for many years reappeared. I was not able to receive the serve. The guy who was serving was simply testing my receiving ability. A long ball hit the ball and was passed directly to the opponent.

In my hands, I tried my best to defend, but the guy wanted to run long distance and directly attack our basket.

I didn't know how fast I was running. When he took off, I seemed to be still one to two meters behind him, but when his body was rising, my block was already on schedule.

Okay, I admit that this last-minute block was beautiful, but it didn't let us win the game, it just dragged the game into overtime.

At the beginning of the overtime, I was not able to play. I could only sit on the bench again and watch my teammates perform. I couldn't say anything about it. After all, I was just a substitute now. The coach replaced me.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with having all the main players on the field.

Lakers vs.

The Raptors' score remained deadlocked, but time flew by quickly. There were less than 2 minutes left in the 5-minute overtime, and the score between the two sides reached 103. At this time, the coach called a timeout again.

"Kobe, you'll be up later."

I have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and now I smiled a little happily, but I quickly suppressed this smile and devoted all my attention to the game in front of me. After all, only

Only by winning this game can we have the last laugh.

After entering the second half of overtime, almost everyone on the field looked very tired, but for me who didn't have much playing time, this was just the time to exert my strength.

Shaq seemed to be too tired to catch the ball, so I had no intention of passing the ball to Shaq in the next few balls, nor did I call Shaq over to play pick-and-roll tactics, because with his current physical condition, even

I couldn't fully exert my power when I came over for a pick-and-roll, so I decisively signaled to my teammates to pull away and let me play in singles.

I turned my back and hit the inside. The small forward who was guarding me was a few centimeters taller than me. He wanted to use his longer arms to get the ball from me, but I completely lowered my center of gravity.

The basketball was probably no more than 20 centimeters off the ground. When he tried to take it hard, it was a good time for me to take the opportunity to start.

He lost his defensive focus because he wanted to steal the ball, and I kicked off my back foot, leaving him behind. There was only one defensive player left between me and the basket.

This guy was Marcus Camby, this year's No. 2 pick. He saw me rushing toward him quickly and was ready to jump to block me. But what he didn't expect was how determined I was to hit the ball.

Let you be the second pick, and I can only be the 13th pick. I will dunk on your head!

Okay, I was a bit bullying because he didn't have enough physical strength, but this flat-frame dunk that directly pressed against him should also be included in the collection of best dunk shots of the year. The title is that the 13th overall pick actually dunked No. 1

A shot-blocking genius with the 2nd overall pick.

At this time, the entire Raptors arena fell silent. The previous boos and shouts suddenly disappeared. Until the end of the game, there were no more sounds in the arena.

Can make a sound.

Because in the end we won the final game with a 3-point advantage, and the Lakers' season record has reached 4 wins and 1 loss, temporarily ranking first in the Western Conference, but tied for first with the Jazz.

In the next game, we will return to Staples and face the relatively weak Hawks at home. At that time, we will have the opportunity to further consolidate our position in the Western Conference.

While I was still immersed in the joy of dunking just now, my teammates had already rushed over and threw me into the sky. I accidentally glanced out of the corner of my eye and seemed to see a familiar figure.

Yes, I just remembered the bet Jessica made with me before, but today I put all my energy into the game and completely forgot about the bet I made with her. I didn’t see her until now

, it seems that I lost this bet.

So, what kind of wish would she want me to fulfill?
