Chapter 196: For the superstars of those years, there was no such thing as garbage time
"21 points, let me take a look at Zhang's stats, 11 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, steals, 2 blocks, oh my God, I feel like I'm going to witness a miracle, I hope the damn McMillan doesn't let Zhang go down prematurely, although the game will soon go into garbage time, but he should be reasonable, and now Zhang is the age when he needs data.

The players returned to the dressing room to rest, leaving the rest to the commentators, with Ross Barkley picking up the conversation with a clear banner. The NBA needs confrontation, and so does the commentary work as an add-on.
"It's just 21 points, Charles, you're rejoicing too soon, for some great players, 21 points isn't a big deal at all, you don't see how pathetic that sophomore rookie was in the second quarter, he was deducted four balls on his head by Kobe. ā
Barkley's words really annoyed Doug, and he began to fight back angrily.
In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant played really tough, and when his teammates couldn't provide him with much help, he staged several times when he singled out the whole supersonic team.
Ray Allen has no way to stop Kobe Bryant, who opened the invincible scoring champion mode, and pulled Chamberlain into the water, the outside line has a great natural advantage on some levels in terms of the inside line, speed, bounce, great knee joint, as the first victim of Chamberlain's foul in the real sense, Kobe Bryant proved to Chamberlain with practical actions that this kind of little trick is okay to deal with Ao Fat, and he is completely inqualified to deal with him.
"Dear Charles and Doug, there is one thing I want to remind you two of, the protagonists of this game are Kobe and Ray, not Kobe and Zhang, a scoring guard and an interior player, which is unfair to anyone, just like Jordan's main opponent is Reggie Miller, never Charles you. ā
To see that Smith, who is about to be excluded by Zhang Fan and Comi, belongs to the wallgrass, and is unwilling to find a topic for himself to talk about. Smith's story tells us that if you want to please both, you will often encounter the dilemma of not pleasing both.
"Okay, Kenny, let's take a look at Kobe Bryant's stats and Ray's stats, though I'm not interested in them at all. ā
Barkley looked at the data sheet in his hand, shaking his head at Kenny, who made this proposal, and he obviously thought that the inside line should be the biggest attraction in the game.
Ray had 29 points, 1 steal and 2 rebounds, and Kobe Bryant had 29 points, 2 steals, 2 rebounds and 1 block. ā
It's hard to imagine what the conversation would take if Barkley were left to recount the data, and Smith decided to be self-sufficient.
"Obviously, Kobe Bryant won, and he's going to have to face Ray and Zhang, and Ray just needs to run out of the open spot, and that rookie will help him score points. ā
Doug proudly spread his hands at Barkley.
"That shows Zhang's selflessness and greatness, he is a player who can make his teammates better, and that tells us about the point difference on the field. ā
The great Zhang Fan Barkley shrugged in response.
"21 points, damn 21 points, Kobe Bryant will tell you the answer, he's going to slap that rookie in the face. ā
Doug roared wildly, and the second half began.
The purple and gold No. 8 who came out of the locker room returned to the court with an unusually resolute expression, and his sharp eyes swept coldly towards the somewhat lax Seattle five.
While dribbling the ball, Kobe Bryant looked at Ray Allen, who was focused on defense, and his heart burst out with an unusually strong desire to win.
21 points is not a big problem for some players, because they never accept the fighting spirit of defeat.
Changing hands under the crotch to dribble, taking a big stride with his right foot, leaning forward sharply with his upper body, Ray Allen decisively chose to retreat to defend and break through, and his teammates' control of the rebound ball made Kobe's outside jumper much less lethal than the breakthrough.
Retracted with his right foot, stepped on the ground, bent his left foot upright, exerted his strength with both feet, leaned back, and raised the basketball with both hands, ignoring Ray Allen's interference, Kobe Bryant made a quick shot.
The crisp sound of entering the basket made Chamberlain's card position useless.
After dribbling beyond the three-point line, Ridno dodged past Atkins and hoisted the ball into the basket.
After Chamberlain received the ball with his back, he forcibly broke through Odom, and the eyeing Meme stepped forward to make up for the defense, Chamberlain hit the ball and passed the ball to Ray Allen, who was vacant on the outside, Ray Allen was hurriedly shaken by Kobe Bryant and missed the shot, Chamberlain stepped to catch the rebound and scored with one hand.
Bryant forced a rush from the left side of Ray Allen to the three-point line, shook Chamberlain away from his body, and hit a jumper layup.
Switching offense and defense, Ridno dribbled the ball across the half court, changed hands to control the ball to avoid Atkins, but did not guard against Kobe's fast and urgent black hand.
The steal was about to go down, and Kobe disappointed the fans who were expecting him to dunk and were ready to cheer, and he ended the battle with a simple civilian layup.
Ray Allen accelerated inside, forced his way past Odom to the three-second zone, picked up Chamberlain's high throw after attracting hatred, and strode up to split the dunk with one hand.
It was Kobe Bryant who caught the ball and broke through, he faced Chamberlain and Ray Allen's front and back shots, and after a calm dummy shake, he hooked his hand sideways to shoot, and the ball bounced a few times on the basket, and he still got into it.
"Kobe, great Kobe, look, look, I'll just say he can, you're the best in the world, Bryant. ā
Bryant's performance made Doug, who was holding his breath in the commentator's seat, forget it, and he yelled loudly in the ears of Smith and Barkley.
"Okay, Doug, you should be quiet, you must know that the current score difference is still 16 points, and the supersonic has called a timeout, Zhang will definitely not give him a chance to continue to be arrogant. ā
A firm stance is a must, and Barkley deeply understands the truth that a dead duck has a hard mouth.
"16 points? It's a big joke, do you think it's hard for Kobe to get 16 points, Sir Charles? ā
Doug, who finally raised his eyebrows, seized the opportunity to taunt Barkley. At this point, the timeout was over and the main players of both teams were back on the field.
Ridno steadily pushed the ball into the midfield, faced the Atkins defense, and stuffed the ball into the arms of Chamberlain under the basket with a fake pass.
Chamberlain's body resisted Odom, his right hand controlled the basketball, his waist slammed into force, pretended to turn around, and instantly deceived Odom's defensive center of gravity, breaking through to the three-second zone, and the hidden one-handed back-stuffed basketball bounced into Ray Allen's hand through Odom's crotch.
