Reborn as Kobe

　　 Back home, Kobe found that Liu Yufei had already fallen asleep. After washing up, he lay in bed but couldn't sleep for a long time.

　　 Kobe laughed self-deprecatingly. He didn't expect that his two lifetimes together would lose strength in female sex. Liu Xiaoli is not by his side now, which has made him more angry recently, otherwise he would not have played so hard in the first duel with the Supersonics, after all, this did not meet his planned plan.

　　 Kobe really does not regard the Sonics as an obstacle to winning the championship. The Sonics’ tactical play is no different from other ordinary teams. It is based on defense and rarely shoots from the periphery. This is not because George Carr is a veteran defensive coach, but because of the strength of the SuperSonics on paper. The biggest stars are only Sean Camp and Gary Payton. Gary Payton is also biased towards defense, against the Lakers. How can a team with few flaws win?

　　 Except for the Jazz and Rockets, there is really no team in the West this year that can compete with the Lakers. The Blazers may be able to, but their veterinarian and coaching staff have weakened the strength of this team.

　　 In Kobe’s previous life, the Jazz made it to the Finals this season. Unfortunately, they encountered the Bulls led by Jordan in six battles and finally lost the game. This is also the closest time to a championship in Jazz history.

　　 What Kobe needs to pay attention to now is not to run into injuries, after all, his body is far from reaching its peak. Although Payton likes to spit trash, there is really no hurtful action on defense. After all, the head coach of the Sonics is not an old **** like Sloan, Popovich, and Pat Riley, but he still Be very careful. After all, many accidents can be avoided. The reason why Kobe rarely dunks is because of fear of uncontrollable factors.

　　 Malone’s iron elbows, Stockton’s top knees, Mourning’s trip legs, Bowen’s black feet, Green’s chasing eggs, etc., are all masterpieces of these insidious coaches.

　　 Before the second game, the Lakers players were very high-profile in an interview, thinking that the Sonics were not a threat at all.

　　 O'Neal said: "We are the best team. I didn't play much time for some reasons in the last game. I think I will set a record in this game."

　　 Harris smiled and said: "Although I think I should be humble, in fact I have already begun to think about the next opponent."

　　 On May 6, the Lakers and the Sonics played in the second game. Kobe played for O'Neal and other teammates throughout the game, and he attracted Payton to outside the three-point line and waited for opportunities.

　　 The entire game became O'Neal's dunk highlights. The supersonic's weak inside line couldn't stop the bloodthirsty shark. O'Neal vented all his dissatisfaction with the game.

　　 Kobe focused on assists and defensive end in this game. With O'Neal's response, Payton and Camp can't defend Kobe's pass at all.

　　 At the end of the game, the score was 118:86. The Lakers won easily and led 2-0.

　　 Kobe made four three-pointers and scored 18 points and 22 assists. O'Neal scored 47 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, winning the game.

The pressure is all on the Sonics side. Although Payton and Camp can score more than 20 points per game, and the shooting percentage is about 50%, the Sonics team does not have a third strong attack point. It can't pose a threat to the Lakers.

The worst performance of the Sonics was center Schramf. He was beaten miserably in the matchup with O’Neal. In this game, he only scored 11 points and 8 rebounds, and was fouled at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Full graduation. The second and third positions of the Supersonic also had problems, and were completely suppressed by Van Exel and Eddie Jones.

　　 Supersonic's bench was also completely blown by the Lakers. All the benches added up to less than fifteen points. What a tragedy!

　　 On May 8, the Lakers came to Seattle. The SuperSonics team played very tenaciously in this game. O'Neal was tricked into a foul by Gary Payton in the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, and six fouls left the game. However, the Lakers persisted to the end under Kobe's control, and the Lakers finally won 108 to 102 away games.

　　 In this game, six Lakers scored in double figures. Kobe made 4 of 5 three-pointers and played 38 minutes. He scored 20 points and 19 assists and almost got double 20.

　　 O'Neal has 37 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and his performance is still invincible.

　　 Van Exel made 9 of 22 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 23 points, 5 assists and 2 steals.

　　 Horry had 18 points and 6 rebounds, Eddie Jones had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Campbell, who came off the bench, had 17 points and 9 rebounds.

　　 The five SuperSonics scored in double figures, of which Gary Payton had 26 points, 12 assists and 4 steals, and Sean Camp had 24 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks.

　　 After the game, the SuperSonics management was not discussing how to win, because everyone could see that the SuperSonics was over. The first problem for the SuperSonics now is to find a strong inside and stable outside scorer. Only Sean Camp and Gary Payton can no longer make an impact on the championship.

　　 The SuperSonics general manager believes that starting from next season, if the team can't limit O'Neal, then the OK combination for the Lakers is still worrying.

　　 On May 10th, in the fourth game between the Lakers and the Sonics, O'Neal was once again troubled by fouls. The league did not want to let the game down side by side, which had too much influence on the ratings. O'Neal has a problem with this point. Kobe can only take up the offensive task again. In this game, Kobe made 11 of 26 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, 33 points and 15 assists.

　　 All five of the Lakers scored in double figures. Although O'Neal played less than 30 minutes, he scored 26 points and 13 rebounds.

　　 The Lakers defeated the Sonics 101-94, swept their opponents 4-0 in the second round, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals first.

In this game, Payton made 8 of 22 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 23 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists; Sean Kemp made 11 of 20 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, 29 points, 14 rebounds and 3 Assists.

　　Even though Payton and Camp have almost lost their old lives, the others are helpless, and they have no chance to find face.

　　 At the post-match press conference ~www.readwn.com~ George Karl congratulated Harris. He didn't comment much on the game, but everyone could tell that he was unconvinced.

Gary Payton said depressed: "The Lakers have two superstars, and they are all-star players in other positions. The lineup is too strong. Even with the Bulls led by Michael, I don't think he can beat the Lakers. "

　　 Harris seemed a bit high-spirited, smiling and interacting with reporters all the time. O'Neal didn't have much joy in winning. It was a bit miserable for him to be targeted in this round of the series, but he couldn't complain. The president of the league was not muddled.

A reporter from 　　 Entertainment Weekly asked Kobe: "Which team do you think will be your opponent in the next round?"

　　 In another game, the Jazz and the Rockets played 2 to 2, each defending the home court.

Kobe thought for a while, smiled and said: "I am optimistic about the Rockets. They have almost no shortcomings. The penalty area guarded by Olajuwon and Barkley will become a nightmare for any team. They also have Drexler outside. , No one can ignore the power of jets."

In fact, Kobe is more optimistic about the Jazz in his heart, but the Rockets are indeed very strong on the surface, but except for Barkley, everyone else has lost the spirit to hit the championship. The funny thing is that Rudy Tomjanovich just said The old guy who never underestimates the heart of a championship, he will become a cancer fighter and continue to be active in basketball.

　　 The reporters are also very optimistic about the Rockets. After all, the Rockets have been the Jazz's hardest player in the past few years.

　　 But Kobe's answer made the reporters extremely excited. For them, they are good at taking things out of context. So the headlines of many newspapers the next day carried articles about Kobe's low jazz prowess.
