Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 38: Mr. Key

   Johnson is known as an aunt. This name is not a flicker. Before a major injury, Johnson was fierce and tough, and he almost dared to challenge any strong player in the basket. So this mid-range shot really has the meaning of Zhang Fei.

Van Exel really wanted to make another one. Although he has paid attention to the problem of cooperation now, he occasionally makes waves. This is something that cannot be changed in his bones, but it is naturally much stronger than those of later generations. .

This time Van Exel wanted to return a three-pointer, and suddenly shot a jumper against Childs on the middle road. He avoided Childs' block, but this time the shot was also disturbed. The ball bounced off the frame. Out.

   This offense was too simple. Kobe knew that he would never mess with an experienced team like the Knicks. He pointed his head to Van Exel and signaled the opponent to calm down.

   Ewing grabbed the rebound and the horse passed it to Houston, who passed Childs straight.

   Childs took a fast break with the ball, and succeeded in changing direction while running. Van Exel was a little anxious and pulled Childs at the three-point line.

   Magic Johnson said: "Van Exel needs to calm down. He was a bit too impatient in this game."

   Perhaps after hearing Johnson’s words, only two and a half minutes into the game, Harris replaced Van Exel with the fisher Fisher.

  Fisher is not tall enough, but he is more stocky, a bit similar to the later small steel gun Lowry, but compared to the latter, his organization and shooting are a bit worse.

   Fisher is better against Childs. After all, Childs is not a star player, just an ordinary player with better organizational ability.

   Childs scored the ball to Houston. The latter caught the ball and jumped. The chasing Kobe almost blocked it. The ball popped out of the basket and Horry grabbed the rebound.

   Fisher dribbled the ball through halftime and quickly handed it over to the Kobe organization. Kobe glanced at Jones who was running. After attracting Houston's defense, he went straight to the basket and was blocked by Johnson who was in position.

   Kobe singled out Johnson, dribbled back to top the opponent twice, turned around before Ewing came to help defend and hit a jumper, 6:6.

   Childs quickly dribbled the ball through halftime and passed it to Johnson. Johnson is known as the king of shots, and his shooting posture is not only standard, but also very accurate.

   Johnson did not pass the ball, but met Eddie Jones. He tried two bursts and found that Jones was in a stable position. He directly pulled out a jumper. The basketball drew an arc and went straight into the basket with a "swipe" sound.

   The Knicks played a very sharp defensive counterattack, and the Lakers started running and bombing under Kobe's control.

   Although the Lakers rotated the ball very quickly in the first quarter, their offensive efficiency was average. On the contrary, the Knicks had a high success rate, but almost twenty-four seconds were exhausted in each round. At 24:23, the Knicks led by one point at the end of the first quarter.

After the start of the second quarter, Childs and John Starks formed double guards, Larry Johnson took a rest, and the Lakers replaced Van Exel with Kobe as the axis and played the Princeton strategy. .

   Although Princeton led by Kobe is a bit simplified because it lacks the strength of O'Neal, the offense is a lot stronger.

   In order to restrain the Lakers, Ewing started to defend Kobe alone, hoping to reduce the success rate of Kobe's pass in this way.

   The two sides fought a battle of positions that consumed each other, until the official timeout, the Knicks only led the Lakers by one point at 34:33.

  The game with the Knicks led by Van Gundy was very painful. Kobe didn't like a meat grinder game, but there was no way. At this time, the Knicks were at their peak and were able to drag any team into the offensive quagmire.

   Harris began to fight Van Gundy on defense. The old gentleman met his favorite rhythm and felt a little bit happy. In the past Lakers games, because of Kobe's existence, Harris was almost a laissez-faire approach to offense, relying on Kobe to control it, but now Kobe is facing a team like the Knicks that just fights defense with you. , The built-in running and bombing and the Princeton system could not be effectively played, so for the first time Harris felt really in control of the team.

   After the start of the third quarter, under the strategizing of the head coaches of the two sides, the two sides made a big battle and the offensive efficiency dropped.

The Lakers could not collectively find a sight in the high-intensity defense, and only scored 18 points in a single quarter, but under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers rely on tenacious defense to make the Knicks only scored 19 points in a single quarter. Did not pull away.

   In the fourth quarter, the two sides compete for every goal, the defensive moves are getting bigger and bigger, and the gunpowder is full.

   Harris kept yelling from the sidelines, changing players at any time to adjust his defense. Van Gundy walked around the sidelines, staring at the court, gesturing from time to time.

   Kobe felt so tired for the first time. Both sides shot again and again. In the last forty seconds, the two sides reached an 85 tie. The ball was in the hands of the Knicks. Van Gundy requested a timeout.

Today’s commentator, Smiling Assassin Thomas, commented: “The Lakers’ lineup today is not as strong as the Knicks because of the lack of O’Neal. Only Kobe is a superstar. Although Kobe is only a rookie, this freshman feels amazing. Under Kobe's leadership, the Lakers worked hard to save the suspense of victory until the end. This game was really exciting."

   The magician nodded and said, "Both sides have shown their full strength today, and there are almost no mistakes in tactics."

   Van Gundy arranged inside singles tactics, allowing Houston to attract double teams and then divide the ball to Ewing. At the moment of deciding the victory, he put the treasure on the head of the star, everything depends on Ewing's personal ability.

   Harris also asked the Lakers to keep an eye on several of the Knicks' star players and must not lose their defensive position.

   The game continued, Houston took the ball from the outside, and the four Lakers contracted to the penalty area together. Only Van Exel and the guard against Childs.

   Houston saw that there was no passing line, so he had to force a mid-shot under Jones' defense, and the ball bounced out. At this time Johnson smashed into Horry, took off to point the ball to the hoop, "swipe", and the basketball went straight into the hoop.

   Johnson yelled, lightened his muscles, and his teammates stepped forward and hugged him.

   Harris quickly called a timeout, leaving the Lakers with sixteen seconds, and he needed to deploy an offensive tactic. Harris looked around the Lakers players, and finally said: "Bryant, you control the last goal."

   The timeout ended and the game began. Van Exel quickly dribbled the ball through halftime. Bryant came out of the penalty area to catch the ball. The other four Lakers pulled away. Houston followed Kobe to prevent him from shooting a three-pointer.

   Kobe controlled the ball and pressed the rhythm. He started with the ball in the last five seconds. He continued to dribble down to the right to change direction. After attracting Houston, he dribbled the ball from the back of his right hand to the left hand and returned to the center.

   Because of Johnson's quick defense, Kobe's back almost always hits the floor before he throws the ball.

   "Swipe", Kobe seized the last chance and scored! At 87:87, the two sides entered overtime.

   Overtime began, and the Lakers and Knicks began to fight again. In the last half minute of overtime, the two sides tied again at 96:96.

   Kobe didn't call a timeout, and his final dribble went straight to the basket. Oakley's defensive pull-up succeeded in a layup, leaving only twelve seconds for the Knicks.

   Van Gundy called a timeout and arranged the final attack.

   After the start of the game, Childs made a direct pass to Houston. Houston made a mid-range jumper with Ewing's pick and roll. It was a 98:98 tie. The two sides entered the second overtime.

   Obviously, after the second overtime game, the Knicks and the Lakers were at the end of the game. Both sides made frequent mistakes on both ends of the offense and defense. In the last 34 seconds, the score was 109:109, and both sides had one offensive time.

   Van Gundy called the time as usual, scratching his head and arranged the final attack.

After the whistle kicked off, Childs dribbled the ball for half the time and passed the ball to Houston, who ran to the left corner under Oakley's pick and roll. After receiving the ball, Houston stepped on the three-point line to make a jumper and hit 111: 109.

   Harris called a timeout. At the moment, Silver Fox also wanted to call his mother. This game was too tough.

   "Coach, let Robert perform the last ball. I will cover him." Kobe said suddenly.

   "Can this work?" Harris was somewhat worried.

   Kobe explained: "I did the last shot before. The Knicks never thought I would pass the ball last time."

   There is one thing Kobe didn't say, Robert Horry is a famous key man in later generations, and a famous big heart.

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game. Kobe started to beat the rhythm after the dribble. When there were seven seconds left, he started to break through. After attracting Ewing and Johnson to double-team, Kobe took off from the free throw line. The right hand in midair transferred the ball to Horry, who was 45 degrees left outside the three-point line. Horry took a deep breath after receiving the ball, jumped slightly, and threw the ball to the basket. The red light was on and the basketball Draw an arc in the air, "Boom, swipe!" The board fell into the basket. 111: 112.

   Holly yelled and jumped onto Kobe's body, shaking his fists hard, and there was a huge roar from the entire Staples.

   Kobe sent a lore assist, Robert Horry lived up to expectations, lore the New York Knicks.
