Reborn as Kobe

After the Lakers entered the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets also led by Duncan to knock out the Jazz with a total score of 4 to 2. In the East, the Knicks continued their dark horse journey and swept the Eagles 4-0. The Pacers also fought four games and swept. The 76ers, this disappointed David Stern, because the peak matchup between Kobe and Iverson failed to appear.

It is said that after the 76ers were swept by the Pacers, Iverson rarely went out to chase, but contacted the trainer to start three-point shooting training. He was too unwilling to lose in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Pacers always insisted on the tactics of defending and shooting him. This completely exposed Iverson's instability in shooting from a long distance.

The Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Rockets sparked a huge audience boom. One is the re-emerged Purple and Golden Army, and the other is the renewed Red Youth Guards. Both teams focus on fast breaks. Many fans want to see both teams. What kind of exciting game can be played.

On May 29th, the first battle between the two sides started at Staples Center.

The visiting team's Rockets changed the starting lineup, with Olajuwon as the starting center, Duncan as the fourth position, Stephen Jackson as the small forward, and Carter and Nash in the backcourt.

For the Lakers, center O'Neal, power forward Barkley, small forward Eddie Jones, Kobe Bryant as the point guard, Ray Allen as the shooting guard.

beep……

The whistle sounded and the game officially began.

O'Neal jumped the ball to defeat his old rival Olajuwon, and gave the ball to Kobe.

Kobe controlled the ball, then slowly advanced to the Bulls' halftime.

"Bryant, you are not so lucky this time, I will definitely prevent you from death."

Stephen Jackson, who was in charge of guarding Kobe, clung to Kobe and prevented Kobe from easily organizing the offense.

"Stephen, determination is important, but we must also recognize reality."

After Kobe finished speaking, he passed the ball to Jones, who started to move to the left.

"Hey, Bryant, why not go heads-up, are you scared?" Jackson mocked.

"You are too weak, it's not that I haven't played before. I am not interested in singles with you. I can still feel some challenges if Michael does not retire."

Kobe's face was light and windy, with a sense of loneliness and arrogance of a master, taking advantage of Jackson's irritation to catch the ball and break through to the high post.

Duncan immediately came out to help defend, Kobe took the opportunity to hang the ball to O'Neal. In the interior competition, Olajuwon was obviously at a loss and O'Neal was stuck in position.

After receiving the ball, O'Neal quickly turned around and smashed Olajuwon directly. The dream that his body began to decline could not stop the brutal collision of the big sharks.

O'Neal jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket, leading the way. 0: 2.

There was enthusiastic applause from the Staples Center.

The Rockets attacked, Nash quickly advanced beyond the three-point line with the ball, without stopping the ball, and directly assigned to Carter

Carter held the ball and looked at Eddie Jones in front of him and said: "The soft guy who can only defend. You can't stop me. This uncle will definitely kill you."

"Hehe, a rookie who can only jump around, be careful to get his feet."

Although Eddie Jones's mouth was disdainful, his nerves were tight, and Carter's power he knew well.

After the start, the Rockets and the Lakers used similar defensive strategies, which was to use the strongest defensive player on the perimeter to defend against the opponent's arrow characters.

"Then I will show you how good this uncle is."

After Carter arrogantly finished speaking, he crossed Eddie Jones and cut directly into the Lakers' penalty area. It was a strong dunk in the air. 2:2.

The domineering, elegant and handsome dunk caused many Lakers fans to scream.

Later generations often say that there are two types of dunks, one is Carter's and the other is someone else's. The half-man, half-god dunk can be said to be unmatched in the league.

The ABC commentator who was responsible for broadcasting the game to the United States said loudly: "It's so beautiful. Michael didn't have such a domineering dunk back then. Carter is really great."

Smith commented: "It's really shocking. We all know that Grant Hill, Iverson, McGrady, and Kobe have the best offensive ability with the ball in the league, and their dunk ability is also very strong, but we have to say To be domineering and beautiful, Carter is still a step behind."

Link said: "I don't agree with this. Kobe just doesn't like dunking, but McGrady and Hill are mainly about organizing offense. It is said that the league will resume the dunk contest next year. I can guarantee that if Kobe and McGrady take part by then, It must be a battle."

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Kobe passed the ball to O'Neal just after halftime.

O'Neal grabbed the ball inside and turned around to attack. Duncan suddenly contracted inward and doubled O'Neal.

"Shaquille, you will always be my defeat." Olajuwon gritted his teeth against O'Neill and whispered trash.

"Hakim, don't let Tim help if you have the patience. I think you're getting better and better, and now holding Tim's thighs are still so arrogant."

O'Neal was also unwilling to show weakness. As soon as his voice fell, he passed the ball shaking his hands.

"Be careful!" Jackson yelled.

Before Olajuwon could react, Kobe, who broke into the basket, escaped Duncan's block and dunked the ball into the basket through Olajuwon. 2:4.

"Oh my God, what did we see? Did aliens attack the earth? We actually saw two UFOs." Link screamed.

Smith said loudly, "Michael, have you seen it, your Throne of Flying Man is no longer guaranteed."

Nash came to the Lakers halftime with the ball and handed it to Carter.

In a disguised form, Carter made a breakthrough to the left. Watching Eddie Jones's center of gravity shift to the left, he quickly pulled the ball and jumped into the inside to dunk ~www.readwn.com~ Just as Carter approached the basket, a A huge black shadow rose into the air, slamming the basketball out of the court, a beautiful hot pot.

The fans at the Staples Center began to scream loudly.

"Boy, this is a no-fly zone."

O'Neal stared at Carter, who looked a little sluggish and said coldly.

"Vince, don't worry about it, you'll be back later."

Duncan came over and touched Carter's head, and said comfortingly.

Kobe had a toothache from seeing him next to him, and he felt that Carter's very few hair had begun to leave him.

"Don't worry, I will definitely return this ball." Carter said blankly.

Re-start the ball, the Rockets continue to attack, but there is not much time.

Carter held the ball, forced Jones, used his physical advantage to squeeze a position, and forced a shot.

Carter was a little too anxious for the ball and fell out of the basket.

At the basket, O'Neal and Olajuwon, Barkley and Duncan are all vying for positions.

Several big guys are all preparing to rush for rebounds.

Carter, who was entangled with Eddie Jones on the perimeter, suddenly threw Jones away and rushed into the paint. Carter jumped high, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and gently tossed the ball into the basket. 4:4.

This ball Carter jumped too high, Kobe who rushed over can only sigh.

The Lakers attacked, Bryant broke Jackson and passed the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal held the ball and tried to lean back a bit to feel Olajuwon's defense.

O'Neal suddenly turned around and put Olajuwon behind him. Olajuwon failed to keep up with O'Neill and lost his position.

In the face of Duncan's defense, O'Neal did not hesitate to be a dunk. 4:6.
