Reborn as Kobe

O'Neal beat Rodman with a jump ball. The Lakers attacked first. After the formation opened, Kobe dropped the ball to O'Neal on the right side. O'Neal caught the ball and played Rodman in a single shot. He leaned back twice and turned into the penalty area with one hand. Slam dunk into. 0: 2.

Rodman is completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength. O'Neal eats raw, and he has nothing to do with it.

Barkley wanted to come over to help defend, but he was stuck behind Rick Fox. When he squeezed the opponent away, O'Neal's attack was over.

Sitting down the court, Luke Langley showed a mocking smile, very gloating, obviously he was very upset that he was removed from the starting lineup.

This is not good for teams that have won championships. Most players will lose their fighting spirit. Except for Jordan, Pippen and Rodman, the Bulls have established a dynasty in their hearts. The other old players have already passed away. After all, whether they succeed or not, they will be perfect. It will always be the man named Michael Jordan, with Pippen and Rodman at most.

The Bulls attacked, Barkley pinned O'Neal out of the basket, Rodman screened in the middle, Jordan got rid of Kobe, changed to help Rick Fox, and scored a layup. 2:2.

Kobe took the pass from O'Neal, squeezed Harper, and broke through Pippen in a continuous change of direction, and scored on the tie bar before Jordan assisted, 2:4.

The Bulls attacked, Rodman and Barkley both pulled out to cover the outside players, Harper saw the time to divide the ball to the left, and Pippen made a three-pointer with a jumper from the left corner. 5:4.

Shaquille O'Neal lacks skills and can only follow Barkley. After all, Barkley has a good CIC, which is very threatening. In order to prevent Jordan, Kobe couldn't return to the defense, and Fox was blocked by Rodman again, which allowed Pippen to get an open chance.

The Zen master Phil Jackson is definitely not a vain name. Many people in later generations believe that he established two dynasties by holding the thighs of a superstar. This is biased. If Jackson had no real facts, how could he make a superstar like Jordan? convince.

Before the game, the Zen master led the coaching staff to systematically study the Lakers' lineup and play. He believed that although the Lakers were excellent, they were not strong enough. As long as they strangled Kobe and O'Neal, the others should not be worried.

The Zen master blew a whistle, and the Bulls' Rodman and Barkley began to double-team O'Neal in the low post. The outside players retreated to the middle, Jordan marked Kobe, and Pippen always paid attention to help defend.

It's not that no team has targeted the Lakers in this way. In the past, O'Neal would attract double-teams and then take advantage of the opportunity to score the ball outside. Other players saw the right time to shoot. But today may be an opening relationship. Van Exel and Rick Fox The two felt poorly, and the vacancies were struck again and again.

The old gangster Jordan defends Kobe alone. Jordan can be said to be the rare guy in the league who can achieve the ultimate in offense and defense. Kobe still has shortcomings, mainly because his experience is not as good as the opponent. The original inheritance just keeps him away. After a detour, the experience of hundreds of thousands of games requires him to personally understand. Jordan seems to have been studying Kobe for a long time. He kept close to his body, so Kobe could only be forced to pass the ball.

Although Phil Jackson’s on-the-spot command is often criticized, under his guidance, the Bulls players cooperate very tacitly. There are almost no loopholes at both ends of the offense and defense. The Bulls players on the field are all old fritters. With experience, Mi can make up for many shortcomings. .

The purpose of the Bulls is very clear, is to watch the OK combination, let the other players of the Lakers take shots, curb the Lakers' speed, and strive to land in every round.

Running and bombing tactics require speed, seemingly chaotic, but in fact have their own passing lines, which requires the personal ability of the point guard to far exceed others, and rely heavily on the middle and long distance baskets to eat. Kobe's possession and passing were all in place. As a result, Van Exel and Rick Fox were diarrhea. Jones was watched to death by Pippen. The home team Lakers played very frustrated in the opening game.

Chick Hearn sighed: "The opportunity has been given, but the situation of the other Lakers players is too bad, the old Nelson needs to adjust the lineup."

Magic Irvine Johnson also agreed: "Kobe and O'Neal alone can't beat a strong team like the Bulls. Now the Bulls have average point guard Harper ability. Players in other positions are all Hall of Fame superstars. This was unimaginable in the past."

The old Nelson didn't seem to worry about the team being at a disadvantage. He didn't call until the fourth minute of the game, only to replace Rick Fox with Horry.

Rick Fox really fell out of standard in this game. He made 1 of 5 shots in the opening and missed many open shots. On the defensive end, he also played very hard. He was played by Barkley many times. Although Barkley is almost fattening the ball. , But still very capable, facing Fox, he made 4 of 6 shots, scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

The Lakers are 14 to 21 behind. Old Nelson doesn't care much about it. In his opinion, the skills and tactics have been played out. It is not a big deal to feel bad. Players will inevitably encounter unstable conditions, and no one can avoid it. , It’s just that superstars will adjust more.

When the ball was dead, Zen Master Phil Jackson also adjusted the lineup, Luke Langley replaced Rodman and continued to defend against O'Neal.

This game attracted many media. Since Kobe entered the league, every match between him and Jordan has been talked about by everyone. Since Jordan returned, Kobe has been the only player who can play against Jordan one-on-one, and It has never been a disadvantage.

The NBA belongs to a business league and needs to have enough selling points. In the past, Jordan was the only one. In fact, it is not a good thing for the further improvement of the league. Everyone still likes more people than gods~www.readwn.com~Kobe holds the ball, and old Nelson is on the sidelines. Shout: "Bryant, run!"

This picture is very similar to the movie "Forrest Gump", and Kobe naturally speeds up the rotation.

That is to say, O'Neal has not gained a lot of weight yet, otherwise the Lakers will not be able to get up.

Jordan can prevent Kobe's breakthrough, but he can't limit his passing. Kobe first broke through to attract Pippen to double the ball to Jones, who made a three-pointer open, and then he rushed to the basket, passing the ball back to assist O'Neal dunk successfully.

The Lakers finally broke the Bulls' defense, and the game became more intense.

The Lakers were 7 points behind the Bulls 27-34 in the first quarter. O'Neal had 6 points and 5 rebounds, and Kobe Bryant had 4 points and 6 assists. For the Bulls, Barkley scored 14 points and 7 rebounds. Jordan was limited by Kobe's efficiency. He only scored 5 points and 3 assists. In this Lakers start, except for the OK combination, the other players were really not in good shape.

However, Kobe also noticed that, except for Jordan and Pippen, the Bulls are still declining, especially the substitutes. It feels like the setting sun is setting and their youth is finally gone.
