Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 37: Battle against the "New York Gangs" Legion

   On February 12, the first game after the All-Star Game against the Timberwolves, the Lakers ushered in good news, and Shark O'Neal finally returned from injury.

   Although this game is away, the Lakers still easily won the Timberwolves with 100:84.

   O'Neal played only eight minutes in this game, but he scored 12 points and 4 rebounds efficiently. Unfortunately, O'Neal's injury recurred during the game. Kobe played in the first three quarters and scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists. Now Kobe is more and more of a general demeanor. If you cross over from 2010 and see Kobe at this time, you will definitely think of yourself. I saw a fake Kobe, because at this time Kobe's way of playing is increasingly becoming a mature version of Nash.

   For the Timberwolves, Garnett played 41 minutes, but only scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Marbury played 34 minutes and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. Although the political commissar Ma was a bit unique, he has not evolved into a "cancer", but next year, Garnett won the sky-high contract. It's easy to say.

   On February 13th, the Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets 132:117 away in a back-to-back game. In this game, both sides played very unrestrainedly, almost abandoning the defense and launched a super attack. In this campaign, the Lakers scored in double figures. Kobe scored a game-high 37 points plus 4 rebounds and 18 assists. In the absence of O'Neal, Kobe has become the strongest point for the Lakers.

   This season the Lakers have experienced many back-to-back games, which shows how unreasonable the league's arrangements are. However, Kobe knew that David Stern still had a bottom line. When Adam's joke came on stage, not only did he have no bottom line, he also took off his underwear.

   On February 16, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles and beat the Seattle SuperSonics by 103:102 at home. In this game, Kobe was once again restricted by Gary Payton. He made only seven of his 18 shots and scored 16 points and 15 assists. If it hadn’t been for Kobe’s last class to cover Payton’s mid-range shot, It is estimated that the Lakers will sing a cool song in this game.

   On February 19th, the Lakers ushered in a challenge from the Cavaliers at home. After a tough game, the Lakers finally won 109:103.

   In this game, Kobe once again played the fifth position. Four quarters of the game scored 22 points, 17 rebounds, 18 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals. But this game was not easy for the Lakers to win. Without O'Neal, the deterrence of the Lakers' basket was greatly reduced.

   On February 21, the Lakers easily defeated the Vancouver Grizzlies 110:91 at home. This year's Tanhua Sharif Abdul Rahim scored 30 points and 11 rebounds. Kobe didn't give up too much, getting a super double-double of 20 points and 22 assists.

   On February 23, the Lakers ushered in a challenge from the New York Knicks at home. The game was also broadcast nationally. After all, every collision between the two most expensive teams in the league attracted much attention.

   Before this game, President David Stern once again greeted the referee team and asked the referees to watch these "villains" inside New York. Although the head coach of the New York Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy, can be regarded as a Confucian marshal, the "gangster" culture in New York was established by the previous coach Pat Riley.

Although the boss of the "Bad Boys Army" Lambir is known as the worst person in the NBA, he has exhausted all kinds of insidious tricks on the court, but he rarely sees real battles with others. Every time he only needs his opponent. As soon as he pushed, he covered his face in pain and rolled around the door. But the Knicks are not the same as the old ball rascals, they pursue the demeanor of the northeast man who can do it.

   The game officially started after the players warmed up.

   The iron-headed Van Gundy put on his usual defensive formation in this game. Perhaps the stodgy Van Gundy has not dared to try offensive basketball in his whole life. Maybe he is disdainful, but more likely he may not.

   Knicks starting: Chris Childs, Charles Oakley, Alan Houston, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson.

   Almost none of the Knicks starting players have three-point ability. It is not difficult to see from here that this is a team that relies on defense and has a very single offensive tactic.

   Lakers starting: Campbell, Kobe, Eddie Jones, Robert Horry, Nick Van Exel.

   O'Neal is not there, and the inside line can only be supported by Campbell and Kobe's cameo. The Knicks are very disdainful of the Lakers without O'Neal, and they think the reason why they lost at home in the last game is closely related to the referee's penalty.

   The Knicks lineup is complete, it doesn't seem to have many weaknesses, and the actual situation is similar, but the Knicks have a fatal weakness, that is, their head coach. Jeff Van Gundy is a workaholic. He eats, sleeps, and even breathes in the arena. He is dull in material aspects, conscientious in basketball, and stubborn in employing people. Van Gundy is sometimes inexplicable and sometimes laughable. No matter how serious the fans abused him, he still clung to his beliefs and followed his understanding of basketball.

   Campbell lost in a jump ball with Ewing. The game started and the Knicks advanced.

   The magician on the commentator said: "O'Neal was injured and the Lakers' internal strength was greatly reduced. Although Kobe has played the fourth and fifth positions in recent games, and has performed very well, it is not a long-term solution."

  Maybe the Knicks have not yet entered the state, when Ewing passed the ball to Oakley, Kobe actually penetrated the pass and cut the basketball off.

   Kobe quickly dribbled the ball through the half, and was blocked by the chasing Childs at the three-point line.

   The Lakers opened up, Kobe broke through Childs with the ball, and Campbell came out for a pick and roll.

   Ewing had just landed and hadn't reacted yet. He was completely overtaken. Kobe quickly took off and scored a dunk with one hand. 0: 2.

   This wonderful goal drove the atmosphere of the audience, and the Lakers fans cheered together with great momentum.

The Knicks attacked, and Childs took the ball in the middle. Ewing went to the side and screened for Houston. Childs glanced at Houston and pretended to pass the ball, but suddenly changed direction with the ball to the right. Van Exel moved slowly. Half a beat, was broken through.

   Childs went straight to the basket, UU reading www.uukanshu.com attracted Horry to fill the defense and then divided the ball to the left corner, Johnson made an open jumper. 2:2.

   Childs rushed to the left for half the time, dribbled the ball from the back of his right hand to the left, and then turned to the right and passed Van Exel.

   Houston stood outside the three-point line to attract Jones' defense, and Atkins cut directly into the middle for a layup. 4:2.

   The Lakers attacked. After the players opened, Kobe played singles with the ball in the low post, leaned on Oakley twice, turned to the bottom line and made a jumper. 4:4.

   Although Kobe's move is to imitate Jordan, he is a man of two lives. This move has already been trained by him and it is difficult to prevent one-on-one.

   Knicks position battle, Childs took to the front court, waiting for his teammates to pull away, he singled out Van Exel in the middle.

   Childs continued to dribble the ball down the hips, Van Exel was positioned relatively back, preventing a breakthrough and a shot. Childs turned to the left and Ewing stepped forward to make a wall.

   As soon as the screen came, Jones changed defense speed a little bit slower, Childs made a mid-range jumper, and Kobe stepped forward to interfere and miss.

   At this time, Ewing turned around after blocking and rushing to the basket, grabbing an offensive rebound, and Campbell posted it in time.

   After landing, Ewing did not make a second attack, turned around and passed the ball to Johnson.

   Johnson took the ball and didn't make a shot, and then divided the ball to the center. Houston happened to be open when he received the ball. He made a mid-range jumper with a perfect arc. The basketball was hollow into the net. 6:4.
