Reborn My Name Is Kobe

At the end of halftime, the Lakers were already leading 55-40 by 15 points. Shaq scored 27 points and 15 rebounds at halftime, and I also scored 20 points and 2 rebounds. In other words, Shaq and I took the whole game.

The team scored 47 points out of 55, which is indeed a bit scary when you think about it.

During the break in the locker room at halftime, the smile on Shaq's face looked so bright. From time to time, he used his huge palms to gesture in the air, describing how he had just ravaged the opponent like a rubber toy.

Insider.

I shook my head, thinking that Shaq's laugh point was indeed a bit too low, and his personality was very easy to satisfy. Of course, with his talent that was much beyond normal people, he did have the capital, and his astonishing

Talent allows him to have everything without much effort, but it seems that I am not that kind of person.

Kobe's physical talent is definitely not the best in the NBA. This is one of the reasons why he was not selected by the Hornets until the 13th pick and then traded to the Lakers. Originally, NBA teams would give priority to interior players during the draft.

players, and between immediate combat ability and potential, they will be more inclined to choose the latter. Unless they have super immediate combat ability, players who are temporarily weak in skills but have particularly outstanding athletic talents will be selected earlier.

Although Shaq and I were basically in superb form in the first half, I couldn't laugh at all. In fact, in my previous life, I had more than ten years of experience watching and playing football, and I knew very well what was going on.

A good half-time performance may not necessarily be a good thing. Considering Shaq's huge weight and not-top-level physical fitness, once the opponent starts to double-team or foul him in the second half, if one of the team members

If other people cannot stand up to help him, then this game will not be so easy to win.

It was for this reason that when Shaq pouted again and looked at me with disdain, I just shook my head, wondering if this guy was thinking of making a bet with me again.

"Rookie, you performed pretty well in the first half. How about it? Are you interested in betting with me in the second half?"

"What do you want to bet on this time?"

I didn't reject him directly, but wanted to hear what he wanted to bet on.

"I already scored 27 points and 15 rebounds in the first half. Let's bet on whether I can score 40 points and 20 rebounds by the end of the game. How about I let you choose first this time?"

"Okay, I can't pick you to score 40 points and 20 rebounds. Don't ask me why. If you lose, well, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Haha, do you think you have a chance of winning? Rookie!"

Shaq showed his two rows of white, straight teeth, and other Lakers players around him laughed along with him.

"Then it depends on your performance."

I reluctantly walked out of the locker room first, but I didn't panic at all. I really didn't believe that the opponent would not take care of him after experiencing such a tragic first half.

After the start of the second half, I could only sit on the bench and watch the court silently. Obviously my previous judgment was quite accurate. From the first Lakers offensive round, the opponent began to cover Shaq crazily.

Come on, if two people can't do it, then three will do it. If three people can't do it, then four will do it. Even if most of the place is empty, we won't hesitate.

Because Shaq's position is relatively deep every time he catches the ball, and he is focused on

Wanting to score a high score, when facing the double-team players who were rushing towards him, instead of passing the ball back to the open space on the outside in time, he continued to use his strength to face multiple defenders.

What is staggering is that in the first three goals, Shaq actually dunked two people against three or four defenders, and then caused two shooting fouls. Unfortunately, he only made one of the four free throws.

His score also reached thirty points.

However, I also found that Shaq was already out of breath at this time. It was obvious that even with such a strong body, he would not be able to stand facing multiple inside double-teams and strong beatings.

And because Shaq consumed too much energy on the offensive end, he was basically unwilling to exert force on the defensive end. The other coach was also quite smart and directly asked Garnett to face Shaq on the offensive end.

Garnett would play a pick-and-roll with the defender, and then move outside to catch the ball near the free throw line, while Shaq would not leave the penalty area at all. This allowed Garnett to hit four consecutive mid-range shots near the free throw line.

The coach also had to call a timeout.

However, in the face of the coach's doubts, Shaq was quite disdainful and insisted on letting his teammates continue to pass the ball to him. The coach and other teammates were quite helpless at this time. Shaq's kid-like character really makes people love and hate him.

Sure enough, this timeout was basically in vain. Shaq, whose physical strength declined further in the next few balls, began to make mistakes without even being able to commit fouls. However, the Timberwolves took advantage of these mistakes to allow Marbury to score consecutive goals.

After two 2 plus 1 counterattacks, the difference between the two sides was only 3 points.

At this time, the coach called a timeout again. After the timeout, Shaq was pinned down on the bench, and I once again got the chance to play. I saw his face was extremely ugly, and I was really worried about this.

Will the guy get angry and just tear down the bench?

However, even if the coach made timely adjustments, the overall momentum on the field has completely shifted to the opponent's side. Not only are their offensive ends getting smoother, but their defensive moves are also getting bigger and bigger. Facing us,

The referee ignored his complaint at all, as if he couldn't see the opponent's almost wrestling action at all.

Seeing that the Timberwolves were about to take the lead, fortunately, I made two magic shots in a row. One of them was a hasty shot with less than one second left in the twenty-four seconds. When the ball entered the basket,

At that time, I took a long breath and told myself that the game had just begun, so I just needed to relax and perform to my level.

Seeing that my touch was still as hot as the first half, the opponent also started to double-team me. In fact, I didn’t want to pass the ball when facing the double-team. However, the opponent’s double-team came very quickly and decisively.

, without giving me any extra time to think, I would either pass the ball in time or it would result in a dead ball or a mistake.

It seems that the superb performance of Shaq and I in the first half has completely stimulated the fragile nerves of the opponent. This kind of defensive intensity is obviously the intensity that can only be seen in the playoffs. Of course, I think this is quite good, in limited situations.

The stronger the opponent I face in my playing time, the faster my progress will be. I am also afraid that the opponent will be too weak to fight well.

In the subsequent games, the two sides were in a stalemate. Shaq, who played again, finally calmed down a little. When the opponent's multi-team double-team had not yet formed, he passed the ball to the outside gap in time. However, it may be because of the long time.

There was no shot, and the outside shooters couldn't find any touch. In the third quarter, they made 1 of 8 open three-pointers, which also caused the opponent's inside to double-team Shaq even more unscrupulously.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent invested too much physical energy in defense and therefore couldn't find the touch when attacking, I believe they would have overtaken us long ago.

The game entered the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, and we were still 3 points ahead of the opponent. At this time, the coach seemed to have finally figured something out, and sent me and Shaq on the field at the same time. I shook my head, if he could

If we had figured it out earlier, we wouldn't have played so hard in the second half.

To be honest, although this Lakers team has several outside All-Stars, their overall performance is not that good. Even when Shaq created a huge shooting space for them, it is difficult to make long-range shots with stable shooting from the outside.

.

Just like that, my first performance with Shaq was about to begin. I went up to express my friendship and prepared to fist bump with Shaq, but this guy completely ignored me with an arrogant look on his face and just walked swaggering towards the court.

go.

I was a little embarrassed and followed him. Anyway, let’s win this game first.

When Shaq and I were on the court at the same time, the opponent was indeed in a dilemma. No matter who he chose to double-team, it would mean that the other player would get a relatively loose offensive opportunity.

After Shaq was once again double-teamed by three people and almost made a mistake, he finally passed the ball to my hands. A steady and picturesque pass on the backside did not disappoint him. My hands were so hot in this game.

Hot, under normal circumstances, I am confident that I can hit even if the opponent is guarding me with two people. Now the opponent leaves one person to guard me in order to double-team Shaq. This is simply equivalent to no defense.

After I hit two goals in a row, the opponent quickly changed tactics and double-teamed me in advance to prevent me from catching the ball. However, the defense against Shaq was very weak.

After being dunked twice by Shaq, the other team also started to panic. They double-teamed me, then double-teamed Shaq, and then switched back to man-to-man marking. Soon the difference between the two sides was reduced.

It came to 9 points, and there was less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

I was holding the ball less than two steps away from the midfield. The opponent found it and left to double-team me, because the position I was standing in was a very easy place to make mistakes due to double-teaming.

At this time, I saw Shaq asking for the ball under the basket, so I simply threw the ball into the sky.

He NNDX saw Shaq soar nearly one meter into the air, with his entire arm almost above the basket. He actually took the ball from me, which was obviously a bit too big, and smashed it hard against the basket with one arm.

basket.

After Shaq landed, he knocked the two opposing insiders directly to the ground, then exposed his two rows of white teeth and looked at the helpless look on the opponent's face with a playful look.

I rushed over again and prepared to fist bump with Shaq, but this time he didn't answer the punch and just said:

"Good job, rookie."

As the last second ran out, we won the game against the Timberwolves 107-96. During the post-game interview, a reporter asked me why I was able to perform so well in this game. I told him a little mysteriously,

Because I met a very powerful opponent, he made me grow up quickly.

When the reporter further asked who this mysterious opponent was, I just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
