In the locker room, Rivers summed up the first half briefly.

He said that he was satisfied with everyone's expressions except for the last few minutes of the second quarter.

Perkins's face instantly turned bad, and everyone could see that Paris was the point that was exposed. Thinking about Joe's appearance at the beginning, he is not as good as a small forward when he plays center, Perkins feels that he is worse than Bynum, it is really the world that is declining!! There are also those who grab positions like this!!

Rivers named the lineup for the second half: "Tony Allen plays point guard. JOJO, YOU SCORE, KOBE BRYANT IS UP TO YOU TO DEFEND. Ray, you play small forward. Glenn, you play power forward to defend Gasol and use your body against him. Kevin plays center. OK That's it, discuss it yourself. And JOJO, you come with me. ”

Joe was stunned for a moment, and then followed.

Rivers patted Joe on the shoulder and said, "Your table is good today." ”

Joe was not complacent after listening to Rivers's praise, although it was affirmed that Joe's heart was ecstatic, but Joe's soul was a Celestial Empire man, and he had the character of the Great Celestial Empire, that is, humility. "I'm just trying my best to play."

A talented player is loved by every coach, and if this player is humble and polite, it is a joy to be happy. This is one of the reasons why Rivers loves Joe. "Well, that's good. Then I can rest assured. JOJO, YOUR NEXT TASK IS HEAVY, HEAVY ENOUGH TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND LOSING THIS GAME. ”

Rivers said so, and Joe listened more carefully.

Rivers couldn't help but nod after seeing Joe's watch, and then said, "You're going to face Kobe, are you confident?" ”

It is false to say that there is confidence, and Joe is still a little powerless in the face of Kobe's 98 offensive ability. "All I can say is I'll do my best."

"Well, I'll give you the ball, and I want you to fight him next."

Hearing Rivers' words, Joe was surprised to be "Coach, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Now Kobe Bryant has minimized his shots because of Phil Jackson's request, and I want you to force him to shoot and make the whole game a Celtics vs. Kobe. I think you know what I mean. ”

Joe wasn't stupid, and certainly understood what Rivers meant. This is also the Celtics' tactic against the Lakers in the Finals. Let Kobe Bryant enter the crazy cancer mode, only knowing that he can fight alone and have no sense of teamwork at all. No matter how strong you Kobe Bryant is, he has no chance of winning against the entire Celtics team. When the time comes, victory will not come easily.

Originally, this task was done for Pierce, but it turned out to be in Joe's hands. Rivers thinks too much of himself. But Joe was still very excited, he didn't expect to have the opportunity to face Kobe Bryant in the first NBA game, it's really hilarious!! ……

"Oh, look!! JOJO IS NOW ACTUALLY OPPOSITE KOBE!! The strongest rookie is facing the current first person in the league!! Barkley didn't expect Joe to face Kobe Bryant when he played again, and it was on fire all of a sudden.

Kobe Bryant was a little unhappy in his heart, what do you mean, look down on me so much, and actually let a rookie defend me. Good!! Watch me teach this rookie a lesson.

Bryant posted the ball after he got the ball early from Fisher.

Bryant said in an extremely mocking tone, "Hey, rookie, are you Celtics nobody?" Actually let you a rookie to defend against me, did you give up the game? ”

Joe's mouth is not lost to Kobe, "I came to see you to strike iron, Iron King!" ”

Kobe Bryant = striking iron, this is a recognized thing in the league, and it can be said that Kobe has booked the title of the first iron king in history in the future in advance.

Kobe Bryant hated it most than anyone talking about his striking iron, and he vowed to teach the arrogant rookie a hard lesson.

I saw Kobe Bryant come directly in front of Joe with a backward jumper, Joe didn't jump up, Kobe's backward jumper is difficult to defend, the best way is to seal the eyes to defend. But Kobe Bryant is Kobe, and the step-back jumper is his confidence.

"Brush!!" There is no controversial hit. Kobe glanced at Joe haughtily, "Rookie, this is the NBA!" ”

Joe didn't say anything, speaking with strength at this time was the key.

Tony Allen dribbled the ball past half court and passed the ball directly to Joe, and Rivers explained that the only way to wait was to give the ball to Joe, and Joe decided the next step.

After receiving the ball, Joe turned his back directly against Kobe. Kobe Bryant was driven by the huge force, and his body involuntarily took a step back.

Joe took the opportunity to hit a turn-back jumper, and everyone cheered Joe on. Joe scored in the face of Kobe Bryant, and it was also a step-back jumper. In the face of Kobe, the god of backward jumpers, use backward jumpers, one word, cow!!

Joe didn't forget to provoke Kobe Bryant, "Kobe, you're right, this is the NBA." ”

How harsh this sentence was in Kobe's ears, Kobe vowed to blow Joe.

This time, Kobe Bryant directly asked Gasol to serve him. When he dribbled in front of Joe, he hit another step-back jumper directly in front of Joe.

And Joe did the same, scoring a back-to-back jumper with his back to Kobe Bryant.

Barkley excitedly began to shout "Look, JOJO and Kobe Bryant are on the bar!" The two of them actually started a back-up jumper battle!! Oh, the two of them seem to be evenly divided. ”

Magic Johnson also shoots backward jumpers, and he sees the difference between Joe and Kobe Bryant, and he also admires Joe even more: "JOJO HAS A HIGH BALL QUOTIENT, HE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY TO HIS ADVANTAGE, AND HE KNOWS HOW TO USE HIS BODY AGAINST KOBE. ”

Bill Wharton finally spoke, "Look at Kobe Bryant now, he is already angry, just now Ariza was going to come over to help defend him, and he was directly glared back by Kobe's eyes." ”

Now the court has become a one-on-one situation, Kobe Bryant has been facing Joe's backward jumper, and Joe is not inferior, flying with his back to the back jumper.

Both hit five goals in a row, and the others wanted to watch like visitors. However, even if it is a spectator, the table of the two teams is not the same.

The Lakers players are very anxious, but they don't dare to touch Kobe, so they can only keep running in the hope that Kobe Bryant will suddenly open the ball to pass, but they feel that it should be impossible to let Kobe Bryant pass the ball in this state. The Celtics players were very calm, after all, Rivers explained that at the beginning of the quarter, he wanted Joe to play Kobe Bryant alone, just quietly watching the performance, saving his body and preparing to play the next game.

Rivers is calm, this is his tactic, Kobe Bryant has fallen into the pit. Perhaps the only thing that surprised them was that Joe actually played back and forth with Kobe. It seems that he still underestimated the strength of Joe, the strongest rookie.

Zen master Phil Jackson's face also became more and more solemn, and he knew that the Celtics were deliberately provoking Kobe Bryant and letting Kobe Bryant play alone. But it's useless to know, Kobe's temper is more stubborn than Jordan's, and he won't stop if he doesn't blow up that rookie today. Phil Jackson already had a hunch that the game was lost. But what surprised him even more was Joe.

Phil Jackson has been following Joe since he was playing the UCAA. It's excellent in every aspect, it's an all-round hand like Odom, you can play 5 positions inside and outside, and each position is very strong, and Odom's guy who is too good is much stronger. Phil Jackson really wanted to coach Joe, who was simply born for the core of the triangle strategy.

Phil Jackson already had a hunch that the league would belong to Joe in the future.
