On March 29, 2003, Kobe played Jordan for the last time. The young No. 8 Kobe played 41 minutes, 29 for 15, 13 for 9, 18 for 16 free throws, 55 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, leading the Lakers to a 108-94 victory over the Wizards at home.
That game, Kobe seemed to be trying to prove his ability in front of Jordan for the last time. There is no doubt that Kobe made it.
And this 55 point game has become a classic in many people''s minds.
But a not so good fact is that in that game, Kobe and Jordan played against each other very few times. Most of the time, Kobe''s opponent is Jerry Stackhouse, another wizard guard.
Jordan and Kobe''s real match in those several times, there was a steal, a foul, and a defense of Kobe. On the whole, Jordan wasn''t really beaten up by Kobe.
At that time, Jordan was very lucky, at least beside him, there were people like Stackhouse to help him resist Kobe''s attack.
Now Kobe is not so lucky, because from the first round, he has to face link directly!
Kobe didn''t expect linkgang''s counterattack speed is so fast, that kind of ball is not only the embodiment of a player''s excellent level, but also the embodiment of a player''s strong competitive spirit.
After being scored by Kobe, link did not have the patience to play any positional warfare slowly, but directly rushed up to return Kobe "a punch.". Link this also is to show his own attitude, he will not complete Kobe today.
Kobe Bryant this round by link defense is very dead, connecting the ball space can not flash out.
Kobe became too slow or too slow.
However, Wesley Johnson had to give the ball to Gasol. Pau Gasol played Randolph in the low post, and the Spaniard said he would fight with Kobe today!
Pau Gasol pushed his head back hard. People haven''t seen him play so aggressive for a long time.
Last season, Gasol almost became a catcher and shooter because of Howard. Moreover, he is a catcher who can only shoot in the middle distance. This wonderful style naturally makes Gasol struggle.
This season, though, Michael D''Antoni still hasn''t found Gasol''s instructions. But at least, the inside of the Lakers is not so crowded, Gasol has a lot of free play.
When Gasol reached the basket, he turned the hook skillfully. Randolph had suffered from the height, Gasol also chose to hook this kind of hard to be blocked offensive means, Randolph had no way to interfere.
Basketball hollow into the net, into no muddle. Gasol roared and waved his fist, as if the "Golden Lion" was back in the world.
"Shit, can you defend your brother later? He''s too tall!" Randolph picked up the basketball and rushed to Gasol to make complaints about it.
"Leave it to me, Zach." Pau Gasol patted Randolph on the shoulder, and he could clearly feel that his brother was in an unusual state today.
Kobe and Gasol excitedly high five, just that attack, as if let Kobe find the feeling of two consecutive championship period. Whenever he can''t open up the situation, Gasol will come forward in time to help himself. Then they were invincible and ruled the League for two years.
Gasol did what he said. He said he would fight with Kobe and he would never be lazy! Today they don''t have to rule the league, they just rule the FedEx stadium.
It seems that the "script" of today''s game is specially prepared for the Lakers. Kobe and Pau Gasol dream back to the top to give the Grizzlies who are the No.1 in the League for two consecutive defeats. Let them see what is the immortal of the big family. What a perfect story!
But link never follows the script given to him. Is there a few good stories that he destroys?
Link is still very excited, Kobe feels that the boy seems to be more excited than himself. The excitement was like that night in 2003, when he met Jordan...
just as Kobe was putting on his posture, link raised his hand to ask for the ball.
For the second consecutive round, link wanted to take the initiative to attack with the ball. Kobe found himself a little nervous, which he hadn''t experienced for years.
But in front of the strong desire to attack link, Kobe also experienced this kind of tense feeling.
As soon as link got the ball, mark Gasol''s cover was in place. Jordan Hill had to change his defense, and Kobe''s ability to get out of cover is not as good as he was.
Link breaks through, hill and Kobe both chase after link. At the same time, Gasol also made up to the basket!
It''s not the first time link has "enjoyed" such treatment this season.
Pau Gasol is not only on the offensive side, but also on the defensive side.
For him, such a professional attitude is very worthy of recognition. After all, Gasol has been involved in transfer rumors since a long time ago. As a player who helped Kobe to create the last two consecutive titles, Gasol has been put on the shelf almost every year.Ordinary players would have been fishing if they had been treated like this. You don''t want to see me, and I don''t want to work hard for you.
But Gasol is still doing his best for the Lakers in such a situation, one of the most important reasons is Kobe!
Gasol feels like he''s not playing for the Lakers, he''s playing for Kobe.
Gasol raised his arms and stood under the basket, never avoiding. Even if he was knocked down by link, he could win an offensive foul!
Kobe thought that link would stop the jump shot, but he didn''t slow down and ran towards Gasol!
Gasol was ready to fall back, but link suddenly jumped up and jumped high!
It''s a feeling that Gasol is so familiar with, because of this kind of fucker encounter, Gasol has to meet several times a season.
"I''m Cao, merciless..."
just after Gasol''s heart muttered, he felt a huge impact. The Spaniard forgot to fall back, but was flustered off the baseline. The next second, the basket made a loud noise, link hands hanging frame, the ball into!
When Pau Gasol, who is 2.13 meters tall, stands under the basket with his arms raised, link ignores the defense of the inside players and dunks directly!
"What an explosive scene! Link ignored Gasol''s defense and smashed the ball well! Paul Gasol, who is a great player, is also the most common background board in the spacer collection
watched Linke make complaints about Gasol''s roar, and Hube and Brown were not too willing to tuck up. Pau Gasol is a bit of a good player. It seems that anyone who plays the Laker has to buckle one on Gasol''s head.
"Shit, this Spanish soft egg!" Bill Simmons also scolded in front of the TV. How could link score so easily?
Simmons would not think Gasol was a soft potato if he went up and played link in person.
"Are you all right, Paul?" Kobe immediately went up to ask about Gasol.
Gasol waved his hand awkwardly. He was just a little hook. As a result, he encountered a spacer. Link was so vindictive!
But it turns out once again that link doesn''t want to be behind even one round today. As long as the Lakers score, link will find a way to get it back.
Kobe began to find things wrong, link today''s momentum... The score is expected to be high!
In the next few rounds, the Lakers struggled with the Grizzlies'' tough defense. Although each attack is not easy, but somehow can continue to score.
And what about Grizzlies? Link started his personal performance.
After Gasol''s interval, link stopped on Kobe''s head and shot successfully. A few minutes later, link broke through Kobe''s baseline and made a layup.
Gasol was just breathing when link came back. This time, link directly hit the basket, Gasol La did not pull, and finally gave link a 2 + 1.
Bill Simmons was more and more nervous. His hands were covered with sweat. He managed to get a city back because of the Grizzlies'' loss to thunder, but he didn''t want to be beaten up by link.
However, the results of the first quarter were still disappointing.
When link was removed from the field in the tenth minute of the first quarter, he had already shot down 11 points!
Kobe''s performance in the first quarter was excellent, scoring 8 points from 4-out-of-6 shots on link''s head! But Kobe didn''t expect that link was more ruthless than himself!
People say the black mamba will be very angry today, but Kobe feels that link''s anger even overshadowed himself.
Look at Durant and Simmons. What kind of monster have they forced out.
After being provoked by Jordan, Kobe didn''t talk to his teammates for two weeks in a row, so he waited for the next meeting with Jordan to complete revenge.
But link is different. He can''t wait to meet Durant the next time. Today, whoever is in front of link will have bad luck.
This kind of undifferentiated revenge makes Kobe feel innocent.
In the end, the Grizzlies stormed 30 points in the first quarter and entered the interval with a 7-point lead.
Gasol and Kobe looked at each other on the bench, an opponent they couldn''t contain together? It really hasn''t happened before.
Kobe wants to be or even surpass Jordan, but he doesn''t want to be shot 50 points at the top of his head by a young boy like Jordan www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
