Reborn as Kobe

　　 The Lakers' victory over the Suns was something that was expected, but it was beyond everyone's expectations to play so easily.

　　 "The offense and defense of the Lakers in this game was perfect. The kid is stronger. I didn't expect his and Shaquille combination to be so strong." Jordan looked solemn after watching the game video.

　　 Pippen continued: "Other Lakers players shouldn't be taken lightly. Let alone Horry and Jones, the two All-Stars, haven't you found that Crazy Fan seems to have changed a lot?"

　　 Zen master thought for a while, and said: "The Lakers are just as good as we are now, but they have a fatal weakness."

　　 Jordan finally heard the answer he wanted, and quickly asked: "Phil, where is their weakness?"

"Head coach Del, Del is the biggest weakness of the Lakers. If it is an ordinary strong team, Del's ability is completely sufficient, but for the championship team, he is the biggest hidden danger. Del is a defensive coach. It’s also good in training young players, but he is really lackluster in offense. Players like Kobe who have two offensive systems don’t cherish it, but blindly emphasize defense. Didn’t you find that Kobe this kid is very awkward in many games? ?" The Zen Master explained.

　　 "So, if I were the kid Kobe, I would have had a showdown with the coach." Rodman said triumphantly.

Jordan said in a huff: "So you will stop here, and you can't become a legendary star. Ke's doing this just shows that he is not only broad-minded, but also shows that he is very rational and cherish feathers. Such opponents are the most terrible and powerful. Ambitious, and there is no lack of the will to control both."

"Michael, Kobe has become your strongest opponent. There is no one. Stop treating him as a rookie. Maybe we can beat them with confidence this year, but next year, we won't know who will die." Phil Jackson sighed. Tao.

　　 Pippen was also worried and wondered: "You said, how come there are such enchanting characters in the world? It seems that after Michael, the league will have another dominant player."

　　 At the same time, the Lakers' biggest competitor in the playoffs, the Jazz, is also in a meeting to discuss how to beat the Lakers.

　　 Sloan said solemnly to his disciples: "Tomorrow we will have another competition with the Lakers in the regular season. If we lose, we will lose our position as the leader and we will also lose home court advantage."

　　 "I can't prevent Kobe, and I can't use outside tricks, don't forget David Stern's warning." Stockton smiled bitterly.

　　 "Carl, I can only work hard for you. You have to help Greg stare at the shark inside, and John also needs your help to defend the kid Kobe." Sloan exhorted.

　　 Malone wanted to say that his concubines could not do it! But opening his mouth still promised: "Don't worry, I won't let everyone down."

　　 On April 13, the Lakers ushered in the Utah Jazz, the first rival in the Western Conference.

　　 The last big victory drove the enthusiasm of the fans. One hour before the start of the game, the Staples Arena was full.

　　 Los Angeles reporters interviewed several fans on the spot. The Lakers fans are generally optimistic about the home team's winning streak.

　　 "The Lakers played so beautifully on the court. I really hope they can keep this style and win on offense. It was so dull without Shaquille and Bryant before."

　　 "With Shaquille and Bryant's lake talents to be called the Purple and Golden Corps, the previous game was too ugly. I hope we have to win and win beautifully."

　　 "I think the Lakers may win a championship this season. Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman are great, but we have Bryant and Shaquille, they are stronger."

　　 Everyone is optimistic about the Lakers. When the reporter interviewed Harris, Harris only said that he tried his best, not the goal, let alone the championship.

　　 Harris is a veteran coach. He has a lot of experience in dealing with reporters. He doesn't easily draw conclusions or speak words of defeat.

　　 Some reporters also approached Kobe, "Bryant, the Lakers have achieved excellent results this season. Do you have anything to say about tomorrow's opponents and the playoffs?"

　　 Kobe thought for a while and smiled: "The Jazz is very strong. We can only unite and try to beat them. As for the playoffs, I am just a rookie. I will play every game with a learning attitude."

　　 Another reporter asked: "Some people say that the reason why the Lakers have improved so much this season is vital to you. What do you think?"

"The team's change is the result of the whole team. Shaquille and the coaching staff are crucial factors. I just filled in a layer of bricks and tiles. My growth was achieved with the selfless help of my teammates. "

　　 The reporter asked: "Many fans are very optimistic about the Lakers. Do you think the team can win this season?"

　　 "It is too early to predict the record. I can only say that we will take every game seriously."

　　 The starting five for the visiting Jazz in this game are Karl Malone, John Stockton, Brian Russell, Greg Ostertag and Jeff Hornacek.

　　 For the home team Lakers, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, and Robert Horry are the starting five.

　　 After the game started, O'Neal played mediocre and both sides played dull.

　　 Malone and Ostertag teamed up to limit O'Neal, and the Lakers were also defended by the Jazz.

　　 The Lakers and the Jazz grind their positions at the same time. You come and go, and the efficiency of the defending opponent is greatly reduced. The fans on the scene booed, and I don't know whether it is for the away team or the offensive dissatisfaction of the team's home team.

　　 In the first quarter, the players on both sides did not hesitate to entangle the opposing players personally, and the physical energy was very high.

Stockton was prevented by Kobe from breaking into the inside and passing the ball out. Except for Malone, the other players lost their sights. ~www.readwn.com~ The Lakers' first quarter offense was equally bad, relying on the off-ball screen, the outside line was constantly Looking for opportunities to move, the Jazz players can always keep up with the rhythm, only Kobe broke through the inside to pass a few good shots to O'Neal.

　　 Kobe wanted to take a foul strategy against the Jazz inside, but almost hit Malone's invincible iron elbow during a strong dunk, which made Kobe sober instantly. He doesn't want to be injured unnecessarily.

　　 Although Sloan is rigid, the Jazz's discipline is really strong, coupled with the invincible pick-and-rolls of Malone and Stockton, Kobe will have nothing to do for a while.

　　 The two sides tied for 19 in the first quarter. The score was ridiculously low, and the dull match made the home audience breathless.

　　 "Brother O'Neal, can't go on like this anymore. It's not realistic to expect them to drag Malone to death." Kobe whispered to O'Neal during the intermission.

　　 "Brother, what are you going to do?" O'Neill asked, he also hated this way of playing.

　　 "If you run, do you have a problem with the two quarters?" Kobe asked.

　　 Many people say that O'Neal is big and can't play a run and bomb tactics. For example, when O'Neal transfers to the Suns, it will be incompatible with Nash. It depends on how to say it. O'Neal is very exhausted due to height and weight, and is not as good as Iverson and Kobe outside players who can fly the whole game. This problem is also a problem for later generations of Yao. But to say that O'Neal can't fight running and bombing, that is pure nonsense. O'Neal in the sun has been getting thinner and can't run at all. And now O'Neal has not yet played that much weight, plus it is at the peak, as long as the time is not too long, No problem at all.

　　 "There is no problem at all, brother, let's get rid of the two old yin men of the Jazz before the fourth quarter." O'Neill said excitedly, at this time he had completely ignored Harris in his heart.
