"Kobe, don't think that King Richmond's offense and defense are at the level of the playoffs." Payton slapped the ball in front of Kobe Bryant and said viciously.

KOBE WAS EXPRESSIONLESS, SLIGHTLY SANK HIS WEIGHT, HE DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHATTER WITH THIS GUY WHO TALKED A LOT LIKE A PUSSY.

THERE'S NO NEED, THERE'S REALLY NO NEED TO MAKE YOURSELF SO LOW.

And Peyton saw that Kobe Bryant didn't speak, as if he thought he was afraid, and directly shouted a block.

"Sean!"

Camp pulls out, Payton and Camp duo turn to pick-and-roll.

Defending Camp was Campbell, who squatted directly with O'Neal under the basket without pulling out.

This is Harris's pick-and-roll defensive setup in the opening game, and the interior players shrink the box!

Bryant slid down on his feet, delicately moving, and went around behind Kemp.

And Glove Payton suddenly got up, shot up from a long distance, and hit the ball.

"See, Kobe! That's the power of superstardom! That's what I'm good in the playoffs, I'm the kind of key player, I'm in the regular season and I'm in the playoffs, I'm two different level players, are you ready to be in the playoffs, in front of your fans and fans......." Payton started chattering as soon as he scored.

Kobe Bryant pouted, you blow, score a goal and blow for a night.

"One more!"

Bryant took Eddie Jones' pass and advanced directly with the ball.

And the moment Kobe Bryant turned around, Peyton appeared behind Kobe like a ghost!

"Sa!" Peyton's paws gripped the basketball, and for a moment there was a faint sound of breaking through the air.

Kobe Bryant got goosebumps all over his body!

Fast! So fast! Payton's steal was so fast!

Surprisingly, Payton was the first point guard in the league to dare to press Kobe Bryant all over the court.

Kobe Bryant is Kobe Bryant after all, he held the ball with both hands for the first time, and then turned sideways to block Payton's black hand with his arm.

"Yo, the kid actually reacted. Not so lucky next time. Payton saw that the steal was unsuccessful, and retreated directly and decisively, even if Kobe had stopped the ball, he did not try to block Kobe Bryant to pass the ball, Payton knew that even if he did, there was no way to prevent Kobe from the ball, it was just a waste of physical strength.

Payton's sudden pressing steal made Kobe's adrenaline rush accelerated.

He is a defender of the historical level, and he is one of the few who can be selected as the best defensive player by virtue of the defense applied by the defender position.

Glove Payton may have a broken mouth, but he does have two brushes in the playoffs! Kobe Bryant believes that this sudden steal will make at least 90% of the league's starting guards.

Payton stepped back, and Bryant transitioned the ball to Eddie Jones, who returned to the halfcourt, and then advanced to the Jazz half with the ball.

Peyton made a bright move, and of course Kobe Bryant will return the color!

"Kobe Bryant holds the ball and heads-up gloves Payton!" Zhang Weiping, who was far away in the far east, shouted in surprise.

"It's not easy to play! This is Payton, last year's best defensive player. Han Qiaosheng answered.

"It's not good to fight! This is unreasonable, what kind of heads-up does a point guard play in the opening game? This can only show that Kobe Bryant is young and still too young! The first goal should have been for O'Neill! Look at that big ass, sit inside, hook it, and the ball should be there! ”

"That's right, it's O'Neal. It makes sense to give it to O'Neill! ”

"Oh, I'm going to suffer, Kobe Bryant's ball is going to be finished!"

Before Zhang Weiping's words fell, Kobe Bryant cut into the middle distance under his crotch, and then flew Peyton with a dream footstep, and a super large backlash hit!

"This one, he played really patiently, you see that he is really reasonable, but he is not in a hurry. Don't say this, it's really amazing, I just voted, and I went in, hehe. Zhang Weiping smiled and swept away the embarrassment.

"Peyton's face is a little ugly, let's see the Jazz's response!"

"Peyton's ball doesn't make sense! He doesn't play with Kemp, he doesn't pass the ball to Schramf! Bullfight with Kobe Bryant! ”

"Wow! It's broken! It's broken! Kobe Bryant is horizontal! Raw robbery! Buckle! It's a dragon! ”

"Jianlibao moment! Bring you today's best slam dunk, the new slam dunk king Kobe Bryant steals Payton, and the next dragon is about to split Huashan! ”

。。。

Payton gasped and braced his hands on his knees.

He found a problem.

Singles.

He really can't beat Kobea!

The first half of the first quarter was a bullfight between Payton and Kobe, and under the indulgent chanting of the audience at the Great Western Forum Arena, Kobe completely suppressed Payton.

Bryant was 3-of-4 for 8 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover.

Payton was 2-of-5 from the field, with 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 turnovers.

Suppress! It's not as simple as data suppression. Although it can't be said to be crushed or blocked, Kobe Bryant suppressed Payton to death on the court. Both steals went to Payton.

"Peyton Bang Broken by Kobe Bryant again! Why doesn't Gary Payton have a long memory? ”

Han: (interrupting Zhang's words, he said excitedly) "Coach Zhang, after my calculations, I found an interesting phenomenon, Kobe's steals are the same as Payton's turnovers!" ”

Zhang Weiping was stunned, %¥%¥#¥#·#¥. Do you have the Lakers scoring as much as the SuperSonics conceding in your next sentence?

Of course, Director Zhang still did a lot of work on the surface, "That's right, Kobe Bryant proved that he is the best candidate for the best defensive lineup." Glove Payton is strong defensively, but Kobe Bryant is stronger. ”

"Toot!" The referee blows the whistle.

George Karl called a timeout.

"Gary, don't fight Kobe." Kemp didn't end up and said directly to Payton, with a disgusted expression, showing that he didn't think Payton was stronger than Kobe.

Payton blushed, but he was indeed comprehensively suppressed in the direct confrontation with Kobe in the first quarter, not only offensively, but he even had the most confident defense compared to Kobe.

But this damn fat man, why do you say me?

George Carr hurried to appease his beloved.

"Gary, calm down. Play with reason, our team is a better team! We are more united! Greater! Don't fall into Kobe's trap. ”

Gary Payton gritted his teeth and nodded.

The two sides came on the court again, handed over the ball to Hawkins, walked back and forth in the restricted area themselves, and used the power advantage to hit Kobe Bryant with his back when he found an opportunity, although the effect was mediocre, but at least the overall offense of the SuperSonics returned to normal.

Hawkins picked Eddie Jones to hit a few, and Schramf also hit a three-point shot, instantly bringing the court back.

The background of the supersonic team is absolutely impossible to ignore, three All-Stars plus a quasi-All-Star Hawkins, such offensive firepower is difficult for the Lakers to completely strangle.
