Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 70: Run and boom showdown

   On November 13, the Lakers came to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs away.

In the shameless match last season, Cardinal Arnold Auerbach successfully defeated Popovich. In order to get the No. 1 pick, the Celtics only scored eighty-two wins last season. The worst record in the negative league.

Originally, David Stern did not want the Celtics, an anti-trend team, to win the No. 1 pick, but Auerbach personally went to the NBA headquarters for a detailed discussion with David Stern, and finally did not know the two. What agreement was reached, the Celtics with the worst grades finally got the No. 1 lottery, and with this precious lottery won the senior student Tim Duncan of Wake Forest University Demon Deacon team.

   It is said that Auerbach failed to achieve his goal with Kobe, and he ran to observe Duncan himself. In the end, he actually saw the shadow of Bill Russell and Larry Bird on Duncan. That's why the old man made a series of crazy actions.

   Popovich didn't know what he had lost. After getting the pick, he chose Chauncey Billups, a point guard with almost no shortcomings.

The life trajectory of Chauncey Billups has changed. Under Popovich’s tuning, Billups’ play style is very close to the future Chris Paul, so the Spurs have David Robinson and Billup. The catch is that David Robinson is a bit older and has passed his peak.

In this game, Kobe gave a good lesson to Billups, who is very heartened. Both of them are masters of rhythm control. The gameplay in this game is similar. The pass is the main pass plus the outside line puts three points, but Kobe not only hides a lot of strength, but also appears to be able to do both offense and defense. On the other hand, Billups is more strenuous, and his lack of experience has made him suffer a lot from Kobe. The Spurs lineup itself also has a lot of shortcomings. Without Duncan, the inside defense has dropped a lot. Shooting guards and small forwards are also unbearable. Before Popovich contacted Dawson and wanted to use the young general Ivor. Lee Johnson and Sean Elliott exchanged Stephen Jackson, but Kobe directed Dawson to refuse.

   In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 109-91. O'Neal had 34 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks in the face of David Robinson. His only regret was that he had seven turnovers. Kobe scored 21 points and 15 assists in less than 30 minutes. For the Spurs, David Robinson had 27 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, Billups had 18 points and 13 assists, playing 39 minutes.

   After the game, the Lakers took a special plane to Houston, because the next day they had to start a battle with the rocket youth army rising in the league.

Since Kobe bought the Rockets, although outsiders don’t know, the league has noticed something. In several meetings of team owners, Liu Xiaoli played on behalf of the Rockets. Everyone is not blind. The relationship between Liu Xiaoli and Kobe is very important. I understand that Liu Xiaoli is Kobe's butler. In fact, for the fund registered in Hong Kong in the name of Liu Yufei, the largest shareholder is Kobe, occupying 90% of the shares, and the rest will be shared equally by Scarlett, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yufei. All the funds invested by Liu Xiaoli in China are used. All are the accounts of this fund.

   Many bosses of the alliance proposed to investigate the source of the rocket acquisition funds, but David Stern rejected it. Just kidding, the Rockets’ acquisition did not violate the regulations. These bosses just want to investigate the investment of this fund through this method. This is enough to steal trade secrets. David Stern is not stupid, and naturally will not give People are gunners, and as for the boss to use other means to test, it has nothing to do with him.

   This game between the Rockets and the Lakers has attracted the attention of almost all the news media. Now there are two teams in the league playing mature and gorgeous running and bombing. One is the Lakers and the other is the Rockets. Many people want to see which team is playing better.

   On the night of November 14th, the Compaq Center was almost crowded. Since the Rockets have become more and more beautiful, every home game has been packed.

   Before the start of the game, Corbett had a chat with Nash. Now Nash is full of spirits, completely devoid of the twilight of the sun. It seems that the environment has really changed people.

   The whistle sounded and the game officially started.

   The starting players of the Lakers: Kobe, O'Neal, Robert Horry, Eddie Jones and Van Exel.

   The Rockets’ starting five: Nash, Olajuwon, Tracy McGrady, Stephen Jackson and Ben Wallace.

O'Neal easily defeated the opponent in a jump ball with Olajuwon. Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and dropped the ball to O'Neal for the first time. O'Neal took the ball to the inside and defended him... defending O'Neal. It was actually the rookie Ben Wallace, which caused an uproar in the audience and in front of the TV.

  Isaiah Thomas in the commentary screamed: "Does the Rockets want to commit suicide?"

   ABC TV host Bidder was also surprised: "I think there is no more stupid idea than this."

As soon as the voice fell, an incredible scene appeared. Ben Wallace actually withstood O'Neal. Although it looked very difficult, you should know that there is no player in the league who can compete with this shark in strength~www.readwn.com ~ For a time Ben Wallace became a monster in people's eyes.

   O'Neal had a fire in his heart. Although Ben Wallace's power surprised him, he didn't pay much attention to each other. After all, O'Neal didn't rely on power alone to eat. O'Neal relied on Ben Wallace to dribble the ball, forcibly turned to the bottom line, and scored dunks with both hands on the opponent. 2: 0.

   O'Neal's physical fitness is called the league's historical level. Not only is he strong, but he turns very fast. Once he turns, he can't defend it. Ben Wallace suffered a big loss in height, and he did not succeed in reaching out to interfere. Despite this, Olajuwon patted him on the shoulder with encouragement. Because the goal has been achieved, Tom Thibodeau arranged for Ben Wallace before the game. The task is to fight against O'Neill as much as possible and consume his energy.

   Rockets attacked, Nash dribbled the ball over the half-court, passed it to McGrady, and started running.

   Kobe and Van Exel switched defenses and watched McGrady personally.

   McGrady took a big step with his left foot and dribbled past Kobe. McGrady’s first step was too fast. Although Kobe had prepared in advance, he still failed to guard.

   Horry kept up with the defense, McGrady took the opportunity to hand the ball to Stephen Jackson in the left corner, Stephen Jackson took the ball and shot a jumper, three-pointer into the net. 2:3.

   Just talk about physical fitness, if this time and space Kobe didn't use drugs to make the body develop through the original body, it would not be comparable to McGrady. McGrady is superior to Kobe Bryant in terms of golf business and physical fitness. Only Grant Hill and McGrady’s cousin Carter can compare with him. Kobe in the original time and space is a bit similar to Ronaldo on the football field, relying on hard training to turn himself into a superstar. It's a pity that God won't make a person too perfect. McGrady's congenital scoliosis prevented him from showing his talents and was ultimately destroyed by injuries.
