The rest is just noise

Kobe's opponent was neither Jordan nor Chapman, but the Trail Blazers' substitute, an unknown player named Mitchell Butler (SG/SF).

This person was an undrafted player in 1993. Like all players who have NBA dreams but have no chance to enter the NBA, they insist on staying in the United States and working hard, even if they have less money and less to do and no guarantee for their future.

Laili gave Butler a contract with a full minimum salary guarantee this year. The main thing they valued was his versatility in playing multiple positions and his hard-working and masochistic tendencies.

At this time, the absolute main players on the wings of both sides are not present. It is the time for the substitutes to express themselves. If they can perform well in the title stage, they may be further appreciated by the coaching staff and gain a higher status in the team.

Butler came on the court with this idea. Unexpectedly, his opponent was a high school student, and after he came on the court, he said like Loki in "Avengers 1" before being thrown by the Hulk, "That's enough, I'm

God, you despicable human beings" and said something incomprehensible to him.

Butler thought to himself, he is indeed a high school student, he is too immature, and he must be taught a lesson today.

Because of Fei and Meng, the two played the entire first quarter, and Laili asked them to take a rest at the beginning of the second quarter, leaving Clifford Robinson to lead a group of substitutes to deal with the Lakers.

It would be best if you can hold on for a few minutes. If you can't hold on, then Jordan will have to step in to put out the fire.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers first hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Afterwards, Barkley controlled the ball in the high post just like Garnett before him.

The Trail Blazers did not let Clifford, who had committed two fouls, defend him. Instead, they let second-year power forward Jason Caffey act as a target.

Unlike Garnett, Barkley has reached perfection in all his skills, and even his competitive state is not at its peak. He knows what to do.

Barkley took advantage of Caffey's irresistible resistance and broke inside.

If the Blazers want to keep their paint, the defense will have to shrink.

At the moment when the Trail Blazers shrank their defense, Barkley passed the ball to Liu Yuqing on the outside.

Liu Yuqing caught the ball and jumped up to shoot.

The three-pointer went into the basket.

"With Jiang Duo's shooting ability, we really should put him in the starting lineup." Don Nelson said, "He is like a younger version of Dale Ellis."

35 to 32

The Blazers chose to let Jason Caffey attack in the low post on the next possession.

Kafei contributed a textbook-level amateur low singles game to everyone.

There is no rhythm change, no footwork combination, just rely on brute force to hit in.

Barkley, who was responsible for guarding him, was already very poor in defense. As long as Caffey didn't use brute strength to attack like he is now, and played a ball-handling attack facing the basket, he might have scored.

Caffey didn't do that.

He gritted his teeth and looked ferocious, as if it was important to use brute force to score a goal on Barkley.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

!

"

"Why are you so impatient?" Louis was stunned.

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Kafei turned around and tried to draw the bow.

As a result, Barkley chipped the ball.

Louis wished he could give him a thumbs up in front of Lali. What an outrageous arrangement.

Can Jason Caffey's offensive ability be used in singles? You really don't treat our Sir Charles as a human being.

Oh, by the way, if you think about it carefully, maybe Laili really doesn't regard Barkley as a human being.

After Barkley cut off Caffey's ball, Liu Yuqing picked it up.

I saw Kobe descending quickly, raising his right hand and shouting: "Jiang Duo! Jiang Duo! Jiang Duo! Hey! Hey! Hey hey!

"

Liu Yuqing couldn't see the high school boy's eager desire to catch the ball. He only saw that two of the Blazers' players had already retreated. Passing the ball to Kobe would not have good results.

"Hey! Jiang Duo! Hey!"

Stop being so arrogant!

Liu Yuqing made a reasonable choice and gave the ball to Dana Barros.

Kobe was greatly disappointed. When Liu Yuqing ran to the frontcourt, he still complained, "If you had passed the ball earlier, we wouldn't have to fight in the position!"

Liu Yuqing retorted harshly: "I'm not interested in watching you get blocked in a fast break one-on-two."

"You should believe in your teammates!" This has become one of Kobe's mantras. He pointed at Butler, "Even ten little shrimps of this level can't guard me!"

Kobe Bryant's rant angers Mitchell Butler.

Butler immediately stepped forward to put pressure, "It seems that no one has taught you how to respect your opponent for a long time!"

Kobe was completely unafraid and took the initiative to fight back, even cursing: "You loser moron, don't teach me a lesson!"

"It's right! It's right! Bean, this is the rhythm!" Garnett booed wildly from the audience.

When Bird saw this, he went up and gave him a headbutt.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Sit down!"

On the sidelines, Louis crossed his arms with a playful expression on his chest, making a gesture of "listening to the music."

Butler, who was infuriated by the words of a high school student who didn't hold his tongue, soon paid an unnecessary foul on Kobe.

"This is why you were voted out!" Kobe shouted arrogantly, "I can kill you with one hand!"

Butler was furious and retorted: "You little bastard, you just rely on your mouth. Is there anyone passing the ball to you?"

No one passing the ball?

Kobe really can't expect a rigid guy like Barros to pass the ball to him just because he needs to dominate an "arrogant" undrafted imbecile like Mitchell Butler.

After Reggie Miller's three-pointer to save the Knicks in Game 6 of the 1993 Finals, he said something that Kobe couldn't agree more with.

Miracles (opportunities) are always and will always be created by your own hands.

The Lakers' sideline ball, Barkley's screen, and Ostertag's outside line was intended to create a chance for Barros to catch the ball. Unexpectedly, Kobe suddenly appeared from the center line and yelled at Liu Yuqing: "Pass the ball! Quickly!"

Violation!"

Kobe Bryant has already occupied Barros' receiving position. If he does not pass the ball to him, Liu Yuqing will have to risk passing the ball to his teammates who have not escaped from the defender.

Even if she didn't want to do anything, Liu Yuqing had no choice but to pass the ball.

After getting the ball, Kobe turned around and found that Clifford Robinson was guarding him. He actually named him and said: "Let that undrafted imbecile come over to guard me. I want him to know how to speak politely to a lottery pick."

!”

Bird suppressed a laugh and said: "He is the most rude person on the court, right?"

Clifford ignored Kobe's shouts, and the defense gradually pressed forward, trying to use his own strength to force Kobe to submit.

He obviously underestimated Kobe's explosive power.

Considering that he is 210 centimeters tall, it is very difficult to put pressure on a 196 centimeter second position player.

Kobe's sudden burst of action pinned Clifford's defensive focus outside the three-point line like a nail. After getting to the basket, he was double-teamed by two people, but all he could see was the basket. His long-distance gliding body showed his talent.

, changing hands twice in the air to pull the lever further proves that he is indeed a die-hard Jordan fan.

However, such a difficult shot is difficult to hit.

The ball spun around the basket and fell out.

"Bean, what are you doing?!"

Louis shouted.

Kobe pretended not to hear and retreated at full speed.

Ignored by Kobe, Louis clenched his fists and his blood pressure began to rise.

Kobe Bryant caught up with Mitchell Butler, but the Blazers' fast break was completed by a swingman named Tracy Moore (Tracy M/SF) through the pass.

Barros angrily yelled at Kobe: "What were you doing just now?"

Kobe said with a guilty conscience: "You have no chance to catch the ball, I will help you make a save..."

"Damn it, can you stop doing stupid things that even high school students can't do!" Barros's blood pressure seemed to be higher than Louis's.

Kobe knew that Barros wouldn't look at him again tonight.

It's impossible for him to receive the pass from Barros, so he needs to be strategic when trying to touch the ball.

For example, try to stay on Barkley's side as much as possible.

Because Barkley has no answer in one-on-one action, the Trail Blazers have to double-team if they don't want to be defeated by him in a single line. Who else is more suitable to double-team Barkley than Mitchell Butler, who is close to Barkley's end?

When Barkley is double-teamed, if you look around with your eyes wide open, you will see a little sweetheart on the outside who is always ready to help these old guys who should retire.

Usually the one who stands on Barkley's side is Liu Yuqing, because his three-pointers are the most accurate.

Therefore, if Kobe wants to stand in that position, he must rely on grabbing and positioning in advance.

"That kid is causing trouble again!"

Louis could see clearly at a glance what that little bastard was planning.

Sure enough, when Liu Yuqing saw Jiu occupying the magpie's nest, she had no intention of communicating with Kobe and consciously went to the other end.

Don Nelson laughed and said, "Bean worked really hard to get the ball!"

Bird complained: "All that IQ is used here!"

Louis' fist became harder and harder.

Barros felt bad when he saw Kobe standing on Barkley's side, but he had to pass the ball.

Barkley received the ball and prepared to play behind the ball.

Everyone knew that Jason Caffey couldn't guard Barkley, and Butler glanced at Kobe.

There is no need to think about whether a superstar like Barkley is more important than the arrogant, arrogant, pretentious, and extremely stupid high school student behind him.

Sure enough, everything went as Kobe planned.

Sure enough, Butler ran over and double-teamed him.

Kobe picked up his hands and prepared to catch the ball. Come on, let me help you, a bad old man.

Cazzo! Are you trying to fight one against two?

Fat guy passing the ball!

Have faith in your teammates!

CCCCCCCazzo!

!

!

Kobe watched from the best position in the game as Barkley forced a 1-on-2 score.

"I'm open, why don't you pass the ball to me? Your play is unreasonable at all. The coach will scold you later!"

Kobe yelled at Barkley as he retreated.

"You are the last person to say such a thing!" Barkley laughed, "You are the one who will be scolded when I see you trying to grab positions and run tactics!"

"I was helping you out!"

Then, Liu Yuqing ran past Kobe and said, "When the coach scolds you later, no one will help you out."

Kobe immediately looked at the position of the coaching staff. Louis' expression full of anger and eyes that showed no tenderness dealt a heavy blow to his young heart that was not strong enough.
