Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 9: people like you

   The day after the first game, Kobe made the headlines of major print media, not because of his outstanding debut performance, but because his music album sales exceeded 20 million.

   Speaking of the influence of the NBA at this time, it has not reached two thousand years later. In addition to the fact that the Internet has not fully emerged, it also has a lot to do with the lack of international players. At this time, the league teams lack confidence in basketball players other than the US.

   Maybe many people say that there is a TV as a carrier? The first is that there is no complete cable network in the United States. Second, the first choice for TV stations is current affairs news and celebrity gossip. The US NBA is only the bottom of the four major leagues in North America. Otherwise, Stern would not always go to the eastern powers. I visited, but unfortunately Stern spent so much effort to make the NBA the most concerned overseas league for China, but was messed up by a joke and a dataman.

As Kobe’s popularity grew, the attention the Lakers received increased a lot. Buss said more than once that Kobe is the flag of the Lakers, and even Jeanie Buss has invited Kobe to participate in his dances many times. But Kobe declined.

   Now when Kobe has no competitions, he is either engaged in creation or training hard. There is no time to fight with people who do not know the so-called.

   On November 3rd, the Lakers continued to stay at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

   The home team Lakers consist of O'Neal, Kobe, Eddie Jones, Eldon Campbell and Cedric Ceballos. For the Timberwolves, Garnett, Terry Porter, Doug West, Stojako Frankovic, and Tom Gugliota are the starting five.

   To be honest, Kobe is somewhat indifferent to the Timberwolves except Garnett's crooked melons, and his "big brother" Marbury did not appear on the team's roster.

   At his peak, Garnett was extremely versatile. It can be said that he can play in all five positions on the court. Although Garnett weighs only 99 kilograms, because his height is 2.08 meters, he has to fight against some superstars on the field. Malone, Camp, Weber, Ewing, and Olajuwon have all made him suffer. Of these people, he is most afraid to face O'Neal.

   Two lines are drawn on the wall of the general manager's office of Timberwolves, one is 2.10 meters away from the ground, and the other is 2.14 meters away from the ground. The role of these two lines is to measure Garnett’s height. The Timberwolves club’s idea is that when Garnett’s height grows to 2.10 meters, he will adjust his position on the field from small forward to power forward. At 2.14 meters long, Garnett was used as a center forward. Therefore, since Garnett’s height exceeds 2.10 meters, in the weekly routine of measuring his height, Garnett has never straightened his body. His explanation is: "Hey, you know that no matter how taller I grow It's time to defend O'Neal! God, don't let my body grow up." Therefore, the fate of the Timberwolves today is doomed.

   This live broadcast on TNT radio. Link said with a smile: "Now Kobe has become the most famous player in the league, but not because of his skills, but because of his singing."

   Magic Johnson nodded in agreement, but he immediately added, "But you can't ignore Kobe's talent in basketball because of his talent in music. I can guarantee that after Jordan, Kobe will lead the league."

   After the players warmed up, O'Neal jumped the ball and won and the game officially began. Kobe dribbled to the free throw line and dropped the ball to O'Neal. Garnett had to defend O'Neal together with Stojako-Frankovic.

   "Big brother, kick him in the ass, Kevin is a soft guy, he doesn't dare to challenge you alone.

   Kobe's voice was very loud, and Garnett almost didn't get angry. He was always known for his toughness, but when he came to Kobe, he became a bummer.

   O'Neal grinned, twisted his thick waist twice, pushed against Frankovic, and easily hooked the ball into the basket with his right hand. Regardless of O'Neal's five big and three rough, others think that he is relying solely on strength to feed, in fact, this is just the appearance. O'Neal's basic skills at the basket are quite good, especially the footwork and hooking skills under the basket. Each of the four major centers in the league now has solid skills. They are far different from those centers after Yao Ming. They are like Howard, except for physical fitness, or they are like Brother Nongbrow, drifting to the outside. Of course, some people will say that it is the development trend of basketball for centers to shoot from outside. This makes sense, but it is not because of the decline of top centers!

Terry Porter took the ball beyond the three-point line, and Garnett made a pick-and-roll in the middle. Terry Porter broke through with the ball and was stuck in the position by Kobe. Cover and run to the bottom line.

   Garnett is one of the most capable insiders in the league. He is like a big point guard. He is tall and has a wide field of vision. He sees the ball passing through the corner.

   Eddie Jones was slow to change defense, but Doug West missed the basket with an open jumper.

   O'Neal scored a rebound to give Kobe a fast break, the latter singled out Terry Porter, swayed into the penalty area, took off and dunked the ball into the basket.

   Garnett personally challenged Kobe with the ball, forced a layup, and missed the basket under O'Neal interference. Campbell immediately got into position and controlled the rebound.

   Lakers offense, Kobe receives the ball after O'Neal screens, and Garnett changes defense in time. Kobe can't make a breakthrough. It's a bad idea to face Garnett.

   Kobe passed the ball to Eddie Jones, who missed the jumper.

   Both sides did not have a high opening rate. The Timberwolves now rely on Garnett on both offense and defense, and the others feel cold.

   The Lakers relied on Kobe's quick counterattack, and O'Neal's positional warfare relied on O'Neal's inside line. The division of labor was clear and guaranteed a certain amount of offensive firepower.

   Kobe defends Terry Porter, once counterattack is dislocation, positional battle and O'Neal pick-and-roll, Kobe can get rid of Garnett, Frankovic is too slow to prevent it.

   In the first quarter, both sides played well, with a score of 16:22. The Lakers at home were slightly better.

   O'Neal took a break in the second quarter. Bryant came off the bench and scored two three-pointers. Then he scored two mid-range shots. He made two free throws for a breakthrough and scored 12 points in five minutes.

   Garnett couldn't help but, taking advantage of O'Neal not on the court, made a sudden shot and bit the score tightly.

   At the beginning of the third quarter of the second half, the Lakers players suddenly exerted their strength to increase the score to 16 points.

Doug West’s outside defense is useless, Stojako-Frankovic has a poor pick-and-roll defense, Terry Porter is too short and bad offensive against Kobe, and can be freed at will. Tom Gugliota Strong offense and weak defense.

   On the offensive end, the Timberwolves' role players always shot iron. Sam Mitchell, who came on the bench, faced Kobe's defense several times, making the team unable to cooperate.

   Garnett watched his teammates behave like this, but Kobe scored assists and became more and more angry.

   Garnett is going to be overwhelmed. He thinks that although he is not as good as Jordan and O'Neal, he is better than these predecessors. He thinks that one day he will become the ruler of this league.

   But today, another rookie who slapped him in the face appeared on the court, and that was Kobe. This is how he can bear this wolf king.

  Garnett started to look for Kobe to match up. Kobe made a lot of small moves, elbows, kicks, and everything was done.

   Garnett also keeps small moves when defending, but he thinks that a rookie has far less experience in the field of sneers than him. He didn't expect that he almost suffered a big loss after some tricks. Kobe is no ordinary rookie, the original basketball experience is not white-understood.

   Garnett made a high pick-and-roll, Kobe again misplaced the defense and withstood Garnett. This is the only restriction method he can use. The height difference is a bit big. If the "Wolf King" is given enough room to turn around and frame a jump shot, he can only watch, and absolutely can't cover it.

   Garnett spews trash talk in Kobe's ear whenever he has a chance. He says trash talk is often his team's offense. When he misses the ball, or when he switches offense and defense, offensively, he runs into the half court.

   "Can you be a rookie to prevent me?"

   Garnett reached out for the ball after saying that, he pushed against Kobe, and turned to the right. Kobe lowered his center of gravity and leaned on without losing his position.

   Garnett made the signature iron-blooded jumper. With a height of 6-11 inches and a wingspan of 7 feet 5 inches, he still leans back and has a very high shot point. In the NBA, this is almost impossible to block a jumper.

Kobe knew this naturally. He didn't take off and block shots. He only squeezed Garnett at the moment Garnett turned around, causing Garnett's body to shift slightly, and then Kobe jumped back gently, giving people a kind of Hide Garnett, there is no illusion of physical contact.

   Garnett's shooting rhythm was affected and his jumper missed. Kobe immediately turned around and blocked Garnett, preventing him from rushing to grab the offensive rebound. O'Neal took the ball down.

Kobe turned around and made a fast break. O'Neal made a long half-court pass. Kobe caught the ball and broke through Terry Porter. Seeing that the Timberwolves were empty inside, he started to jump directly from the free throw line, his body stretched out in the air. The hand dunks the ball into the basket.

   After landing, Kobe pulled up his shirt and shouted, and the whole Staples screamed and applauded.

   "Oh my God! Did you see it? This is superman!" Link cheered loudly.

   The magician next to him also said loudly: "Unbelievable! Kobe is the flying man of the new era, maybe he can challenge the guy in Chicago in less than a year."

   Garnett was depressed. Kobe felt that he was more mature and powerful than himself.

   The game continued, Garnett gave his teammates a side screen, received the basketball from the air cut, and faced Kobe in the low post.

   "I like your mother's doughnuts!" Garnett sprayed directly, this is his signature words.

   Garnett often said such nasty things on the court, so many people said that he was not worthy of being an athlete.

   Garnett flickered and turned to a low position, before he jumped up, he was pulled down by Kobe. The foul was clean and neat and did not give Garnett a chance to make a second move.

   Waiting for Garnett to get up to prepare for a free throw, Bryant replied: "I heard that you peeked at the grandmother next door to take a bath when you were three years old. You started to do postpartum care for old sows when you were four, and you started selling butts when you were five and six..."

   Garnett had never heard such vicious trash talk before, his lungs were about to explode by Kobe. Most of the black players are not well-educated, and the trash talk is just a few words over and over again, which is far less colorful than my Chinese language.

   Garnett made two free throws and the score was 66:82.

   The Lakers attacked. After a few passes, O'Neal missed a hook under Frankovic's desperate interference.

   It was the Timberwolves’ turn to attack, Sam Mitchell’s shot missed, and Kobe grabbed the rebound.

  When he returned to the defense, Garnett shot Kobe again. "Why don't you die? Then your whole family will be free!"

"I found out that what you scolded was not cheap enough. You, a **** who had no home since you were young, are only worthy to go to prison to pick up soap. By the way, you should be locked up with the female orangutan in the zoo. I heard that it is your best Love." Kobe is not to be outdone.

   There are unspoken rules for talking trash on the court. Family members, mothers, fathers, children, especially spouses, these are not allowed to be said, which is an unwritten taboo.

   Garnett often greets his opponent’s mother, UU Reading www.uukānshu. Com is now targeting Kobe's family again. This is not a trash talk, but a personal attack, so Kobe also uses Garnett's family to fight back.

  Garnett hates someone saying that he hasn't been in charge since he was a child, because Garnett's parents are indeed very irresponsible. Kevin Garnett's parents parted ways when he was very young. Garnett followed his mother, but she didn't have much ability to raise Garnett and his sister Eisley. Later, the mother married again, and the stepfather did not treat the Garnett brothers and sisters well. From the age of thirteen, Garnett had to go out to work every day to make money and support his family. He has done more than a dozen different jobs, from carrying luggage to scrubbing cars, as long as it is allowed by law and can support himself and his sister's errands, no matter how hard and tiring work, Garnett will rush to do it. During the holidays, he used to work 20 hours a day.

   "Who do you think has no home since childhood? Go to die!" At this moment, Garnett lost his mind and elbowed Kobe fiercely.

   Kobe had already guarded Garnett, and when he saw it, he flew out in the direction of the force of the elbow, and there was a small twist in the air, and then he lay on the floor, his legs shaking from time to time.

   "Asshole!" Almost all of the Lakers violent, O'Neal even caught Garnett's neck.

   The referee kicked O'Neal and Garnett out of the field for the first time, avoiding the expansion of the situation, and Kobe was also carried on a stretcher.

  Although the Lakers do not have O'Neal and Kobe, the Timberwolves have lost even more, because the Timberwolves with Garnett and without Garnett are completely two teams.

   The final score on the court was 80:95. The Lakers won at home, but at this moment people no longer care about these, but instead focus on the Kobe who was carried out.
