Kenny Smith said: "Just look at O'Neal's size to see how much wear and tear his feet have. Although he often wore a no-fight card and often did not train in the latter stages of his career, which prolonged his career in disguise, his competitive form also declined as a result. At this time, retirement is only an inevitable choice. ”

"On the other hand, Kobe, the legendary training maniac, can despise countless players who don't take training seriously with the phrase 'Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning'. A lot of training allowed him to keep him in good shape, and after that big injury, he started to lose weight, the burden on his feet was lightened, and it became easier to play. There's a reason why people's careers still haven't come to an end. ”

Barkley also taunted O'Neal: "You don't have to envy people who haven't finished their careers yet, and there is still hope of competing for the sixth championship, after all, he has already won five championships, and he has already surpassed you!" ”

O'Neal gave Barkley a kingly contemptuous look, "People who haven't won a championship are not qualified to talk to me about a championship." ”

Smith also came over to make up for the knife at this time: "Especially the kind of person who puts down his face and hugs his thighs but can't win the championship." ”

Barkley's whole person is not good......

Fortunately, the game that was about to start saved him, he cleared his throat and said: "Hello viewers and friends in the United States, welcome to the NBA games broadcast live for you by T-N-T television, I am the commentator, your 'Jazz' Charles." ”

He didn't seem to hear O'Neill and Smith's teasing, and he faced the camera seriously and began to get down to business-

"Well, we saw that the Lakers at home won the jump ball and got the first opportunity to attack!"

Barkley said alone, "Roy, the Lakers' big center, seems to be performing well today, but from last season's All-Star level to now, he is almost unstable in the starting strength, why did he fall so quickly?" So far, this is a mystery. ”

"Oh-"

Barkley suddenly let out a subdued cry, as if it were an orgasm.

"The Lakers' first offense was so wonderful! Kobe Bryant is the man closest to God! ”

O'Neill and Smith looked at each other, embarrassed to see Barkley so engaged in commentary. It's working time, after all!

Immediately, they also engaged in the commentary of the game.

On the Lakers' side, Hibbert won the first wave of offensive possession of the game after Hibbert's jump ball win over Younas Valanciunas.

Today's Kobe Bryant is alive and well. I don't know if it's because he agrees with his fan Dero, or because his former teammate O'Neill is sitting on the sidelines, in short, he actively asked for the ball at the beginning of the game, and his desire to attack was so strong.

The boss asked for the ball, and Clarkson, as the younger brother, naturally didn't dare not give it. obediently gave the ball to Kobe, who was in a good position at the horns.

Defending Kobe Bryant is Demarre Carroll.

Carroll entered the NBA in the same year as DeRozan, having been drafted by the Grizzlies with the 27th pick in the first round in 2009 and has since moved through multiple teams, playing for the Grizzlies, Rockets, Nuggets, Jazz and Hawks.

This year, he came to the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors offered him a four-year, $58.07 million contract.

The reason why the Raptors can offer him a contract with an average annual salary of more than 10 million is because of his ability.

He's very aggressive, often goes over and over the box on the court, is good at using his strength and physicality to create scoring opportunities, has plenty of power on the defensive end, is quick on his feet, and is a great pass blocker.

While he's not a top-tier wing defender like Andre Iguodala, he's pretty good defensively. Even though his physicality isn't top-notch, his positive attitude also makes his defense better.

Coupled with the fact that he also has a certain three-point shooting ability, the tens of millions of annual salaries paid by the Raptors are not a loss.

Bryant held the ball in both hands, turned his head to look at Carroll behind him, leaned his back against him, and felt his defense.

After making a judgment, he suddenly exerted his strength and ate twice, and then his shoulders shook violently from side to side.

This continuous action made Carol directly stunned.

couldn't tell where Kobe Bryant was going to turn next, so he could only wait and see. Although it is unchanged to respond to all changes, in the final analysis, it still falls into a passive position.

Bryant turned his back directly, and Carroll was left behind after he turned.

Striding to accelerate, one jumps to shake up the defense of Younas Valanciunas, licking the basket with his right hand and hitting.

Kobe's goal was very morale-boosting.

Because since the start of the season, he has rarely taken the initiative to attack after the opening. After the transformation, he played more of a behind-the-scenes organizer, and he hadn't been a hard-blooded attacker like this for a long time.

But a legendary scorer is a legendary scorer, and with a little seriousness, the bloodthirsty fangs can make people shudder.

The Raptors' first offense didn't work. Lowry's final shot burst into the basket.

Then the Lakers' second offense was still executed by Kobe Bryant.

This time he held the ball in front of Carroll and tapped a tentative step.

In the past two or three seasons, Kobe Bryant has rarely tried to break through after the tentative step. Because after a major calf injury, his explosive power is not as good as before, and the first step of breaking through has greatly reduced its power.

He's more of a sudden pull-out after trying to test the step, although the hit rate is not high, but the victory is sudden, so you can't guard against it. And once he gets his hands dirty, it's going to be a nightmare for his opponents.

In the face of Kobe's tentative step, Carroll was cautious. After all, in front of him, there is an offensive master, and if he takes it lightly, then he will be taught a complete lesson.

Suddenly, Carol's pupils shrank!

Bryant took a big step to the right with his right foot after a few tentative steps!

Carroll had the instinct to step back before Bryant's right foot could be stepped on.

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant jumped directly after his right foot touched the ground.

The irregular jump of his feet did not affect the shooting action of his upper body.

The shooting skills honed for decades have almost been carved into his blood and bone marrow, without the slightest awkwardness, and his shooting is always so picturesque.

Swish!

Carroll, who didn't have time to stop Kobe Bryant's shot, heard the crisp sound of the basketball going into the net.

After Kobe Bryant licked the basket and hit a shot, he hit a long two-point shot, and he hit two shots in a row to help the team play a 4-0 mini-climax, leading the visiting Raptors by 4 points at home.

After switching offense and defense, the Raptors finally seized the offensive opportunity.

Veteran Luis Scola singled Randle in the low post, and his flashy footwork shook Randle to the point where he couldn't find the north, and finally hit an easy layup.

Looking back, Kobe Bryant raided the frontcourt, and after receiving Yi Feng's long pass, he beat the Raptors with an unstable foothold and chased down a three-point shot!

In just two minutes, Kobe Bryant scored 7 points in a row! (To be continued.) )
