Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 44: Clippers first round

   Although the individual awards of the regular season have not been awarded this season, many awards have been determined. Originally, Kobe could compete for the award of the best player in the regular season, but because of his absence in the final period of the regular season, coupled with the scoring data of the last few games, he failed to complete his rookie season and won the MVP feat. .

This season, Michael Jordan won the ninth career scoring leader with 29.6 points per game; Rodman averaged 15 rebounds per game and won the sixth career rebound leader; Bryant averaged 14.1 assists per game and won the assists leader; the Eagles Mucci Blaylock won the top steal with 2.6 steals per game, and Shawn Bradley of the Mavericks won the top steal with 3.4 blocks per game.

   The regular season MVP has not yet been announced. If based on history, Karl Malone should have won this season, but because of Kobe's random entry, the Lakers' record came from behind, I don't know how the league will select it. It is estimated that the best sixth man will be picked by Fan Madzi in all likelihood. He will play as a substitute with the starting strength, which is somewhat bullying. Although he has played as a starter many times this season, he still meets the league's sixth man selection. Standard, Van Exel played as a substitute this season, averaging 21.4 points per game, which is far more than other players.

   The 13-man roster for the Lakers in the playoffs has been determined, and the regular season rotation has basically retained a dozen-man lineup. As for those who are not selected, they will leave the team next season.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers’ opponents were replaced by the Clippers. This made the Lakers very happy. In addition to the Clippers’ fatness, the more important thing is that the Lakers do not have to leave Los Angeles. Both home and away games are in an arena. But just changed the floor.

  Tickets for the Lakers vs. Clippers quickly sold out. Although there is no suspense in this series, Los Angeles is the entertainment center of the United States, and many stars sitting on the sidelines are more than just watching the ball.

Since the game is on the same venue, this has caused two very embarrassing situations. One is that ordinary fans, even though they are fans of the Lakers home team, immediately booked all the tickets for the away team because the Clippers tickets are much cheaper. . The second is that the Clippers playoffs can be said to have no home court, because now almost all Los Angeles fans are supporting the Lakers. However, the Clippers owner Donald Sterling is very ambitious. The racist who was kicked out of the league in the future is also very happy now because the Clippers’ tickets are sold out. His biggest wish now is to have more games. After a few games, he can earn more.

   The NBA has not been restructured in 1997. The first round of the NBA still uses a five-game three-win system, which makes the home team more obvious.

   When the Los Angeles media predicted the game, it turned out to be concerned about what points the Lakers can play, how many points O'Neal and Kobe can get, as for the Clippers to win, let's talk about when China Football Club can break out of Asia.

Clippers coach Bill Fitch feels more embarrassed. Los Angeles almost forgot that there is a team like the Clippers. This makes the future Hall of Fame coach feel very ashamed. After all, he has won a championship, but he has a quick start. What can he do with such a wonderful team?

   The Lakers had two days of adaptive training, during which Harris almost never communicated with Kobe, which made the old Buss, who came to watch the training, feel very bad.

   "Jerry, how is the new coach's investigation?" Old Buss asked Jerry West in a low voice.

   "I have a goal, but I need to ask Bryant and Shaquille, after all, Harris's situation can't happen again." The LOGO man replied.

   Harris felt like deliberate in training, blindly emphasizing defense to win the championship. Although Kobe did not agree with this, he did not raise any objections. He didn't want to leave any bad handles. If the Lakers are still dizzy with Harris coach next season, he has a big deal of considering retiring temporarily or applying for a trade.

   On April 25th, the first round of the Lakers and Clippers playoffs started at Staples.

   Lakers starting: Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Eddie Jones, Van Exel, Robert Horry.

   Clippers starter: Lloyd Ott, Marek Healy, Darryk Martin, Lorenzen White, Rodney Rogers.

   In order to save money, the Clippers owners have signed very ordinary players. By comparing the starting lineups, it is not difficult to see the gap between the two teams.

   O'Neal jumped the ball and won and the game started.

Kobe passed the ball to Eddie Jones, he started to go straight to the basket, O'Neal screened in the middle, the basketball passed to Kobe again, Kobe threw the ball to the top of the basket, and then O'Neal jumped up to the air relay, directly The ball dunks into the basket. 0: 2.

   The Clippers attacked, the Lakers started man-to-man, O'Neal sat at the rim, and the Clippers didn't dare to fight inside.

After several passes, the ball was in Rodney Rogers' hands, Horry failed to defend the shot, Rogers made a jump shot after a faltering, the basketball popped out of the basket, O'Neal grabbed the rebound, and handed it to Kobe the first time. .

   Kobe dribbled the ball quickly and passed halftime and passed a long pass directly to Van Exel. Van Exel was unguarded in front of him and made a direct layup. 0:4. This time the attack took less than five seconds.

   Clippers offense, Darrick Martin used Lloyd Otter's pick and roll to hold the ball to break through ~www.readwn.com~ and Van Exel was followed by a change of defense. Martin was shorter than Van Exel and couldn't get in at all. He could only pass the ball to Rogers on the outside. Rogers was close by Horry and could not make a shot. He took two steps and hung it directly to White.

  White singled out O'Neal, leaned back, turned around to shoot and was interrupted, but missed the shot.

   Horry got the rebound and handed it directly to Kobe. Kobe dribbled the ball down again, hitting the ball at the three-point line and passing it to Jones. Jones hit the board from the open basket. 0:6.

   The attack took seven seconds, and the audience burst into applause. These two fast breaks are like mercury flooding, which is really beautiful.

Harris' expression was very cold, because he repeatedly asked the Lakers to be at both ends of the game before the game, but everything changed when he arrived on the court. He knew this was the reason why Kobe refused to implement the tactics, but the Lakers played beautifully and led the score. He can't blame Kobe.

   The Clippers attacked and Martin still held the ball. After there was no good pass line, Martin forced Van Exel and took a jumper from the free throw line. 2:6.

   The Lakers attacked, Kobe ran into the penalty area and flickered around after receiving a pass from Van Exel, attracting White to defend. Kobe passed the ball to O'Neal from the crotch, and O'Neal hit a hook. 2:8.

   The Clippers’ offense was still weak, and there were no good chances for a few passes. At about twenty-four seconds, Lloyd made an emergency stop jumper and missed and Kobe got the rebound.

   This time Kobe handed the ball to Van Exel, and he quickly ran across the center line without the ball.

   Outside the three-point line, Kobe received a return pass from Van Exel, drew a jumper, and with a "swipe", the basketball hollowed into the net. 2:11.

  Bill Fitch had no choice but to call a timeout, and the Lakers would be crazy if they continued like this.
