Chapter 168: The Game Begins!

Bryant kicked his feet in the locker room, and Gariverti's bandages were tightened properly, making him feel great on his feet.

"Boss, do you think we can win today?" Fisher was a little uneasy, and the last loss to the Trail Blazers kept him uneasy.

"Xiaoyu, what are you talking about, it's impossible to lose this game today!" Nick Van Exel took the lead, as a guard who partnered Fisher on the bench, and Van Crazy also began to join the circle of Kobe Bryant's group.

"Don't underestimate your opponent, Nick." O'Neal was cautious, he was named by Harris before the game, and this game was a very heavy task to blow up the opponent on the offensive end and defend Sabonis's long-range shot. He knows Sabonis is not an easy player to play against.

Kobe Bryant looked at O'Neal, who was treated carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief, if the dead fat man still pulled the gate and waterboarded like the last game, this game would be really difficult to win.

As long as O'Neal can output steadily on the inside, Kobe Bryant believes that this game will be won.

"Guys! It's time to play! The fans of the Great Western Forum Arena are waiting for us! Cortlambis's deep voice came from the door of the dressing room.

That's right! It's time to win this game!

Jordan's Law? Do you really think I can't break it?

“WHAT'S TIME?” O'Neill stood in the middle of the line, with all the players holding their shoulders in a circle.

“IT'S GAME NOW!”

“WHAT'S TIME?” O'Neal continued to roar, putting his hands to his ears as if he couldn't hear the cry of the Lakers players!

“IT'S GAME NOW!” Every player is roaring hard, and Kobe knows that the momentum of the Lakers team is out.

This is perhaps the hardest game the Lakers have shouted their slogan this season.

KOBE BRYANT MISSES THE SLOGAN OF ONE TWO THREE, CHAPION.

It's decided, let them shout this if they reach the finals!

"Let's get in! Guys! Kill the Trailblazers! ”

......

Players from both sides enter the stadium and wait for the start of the game near the halfway line.

"Kobe, there will only be one winner today, and that's me!" Isiah Ryder is full of confidence and the analysis of head coach P.J. Callesimo has convinced him that it couldn't be easier to win this game.

Kobe Bryant vomited, and he didn't know when the process of saying cruel words before the game would end, and he really didn't want to deal with Isiah Ryder.

If players like Payton and Stockton speak harshly, Kobe Bryant may still be interested in talking back.

And Isaiah Ryder?

It's just a quasi-All-Star guard, what qualifications do you have to talk harshly here?

Bryant glanced at Isiah Ryder with disdain, a disdainful attitude that angered Ryder more than exchanging harsh words.

Wait! You'll look good later!

The two of them thought in unison.

"Wait, how could it be, how could they be Robert Horry starters!" P-J Callesimo saw the roster from the big screen and suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

It shouldn't be! It's not what I planned!

Even if Campbell's performance is bad, he has often started this season, so why did he replace Horry in this game?

P-J Callesimo couldn't help but be creepy when he saw Del Harris smiling on the sidelines.

Cunning as a fox, no wonder it has the nickname of the silver fox.

It's really only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname!

Harris's smile made P-J. Callesimo think he was hiding a knife in his smile.

Old fox!

Don't panic! It's just a move in the number four position, and it's up to you to turn it around. P-J. Callesimo was calm, he knew that the most important thing at this time was not to mess with himself, and hurriedly called Rashid Wallace to give him advice.

"Horry plays, then you are the main point of attack, use your height to force him, understand?"

"Got it, coach." The sophomore's Roar Tianzun already has a very good shot, averaging 15 points per game with a 55.8% shooting rate, but in the back-to-back singles, Rashid can only catch the ball with one hand and turn over a high-handed jumper.

The competition finally kicked off in such a tense atmosphere.

Los Angeles Lakers' starting lineup: PG Kobe Bryant, SG Eddie Jones, SF Bruce Bowen, PF Robert Horry, C Shaq O'Neal.

Portland Trail Blazers starting lineup: PG: Isaiah Rydell, SG, Gary Trent, SF, Clifford Robinson, PF, Rashid Wallace, C, Avidas Sabonis.

The Trail Blazers also made a small adjustment, allowing Isiah Ryder, a player whose size is closer to Kobe, to play PG opposite Kobe. Replaced Kenny Anderson at 1.83 meters and added to the No. 11 show in '95, Gary Trent at 2.03 meters.

The height of the Trail Blazers lineup is 1.96 meters, 2.03 meters, 2.06 meters, 2.11 meters, and 2.24 meters. A terrifyingly tall lineup with an average height of up to 2.08 meters per game!

This lineup is to wrap up the stars and lock the existence of the inside!

On the offensive end, he abandoned the organization of small point guards and instead used Sabonis on the inside as the core of the first offense.

Del Harris is a little impressed that P-J Callesimo can match such a top defensive lineup, and I believe that any outside star in the league, even Jordan, may be deflated on this lineup!

Jumping ball, although Sabonis is taller than O'Neal, the 32-year-old Sabonis is full of foot injuries, and the jump height may be as high as a matchbox.

O'Neal easily won the jump ball, and Eddie Jones picked up the ball that O'Neal had clicked and handed it to Kobe.

Clip!

Just after halftime, Isaiah Ryder and Gary Trent pounced on Kobe!

This is no ordinary bag clip! Both defenders have very good physical fitness and defensive ability! Their bags are very decisive and lethal! Ordinary players, not to mention protecting the ball, even the pass may be intercepted by two tall defenders!

Sure enough, as expected by Kobe, the Trail Blazers continued to choose to use Jordan's rule to wrap up in advance!

As if stunned, Bryant stood in the center circle, waiting for the two to finish.

Isaiah Ryder saw this scene and was even more energetic!

You kid wait for the ball to break!

No, why is Kobe's lips curled, he's laughing!

The reason Bryant waited in place was to wait for the packer's complete disposition while watching for defensive holes.

Eddie Jones defender Gary Trent stepped forward to pack, so is he open?

No! How can there be such a simple bag clip!

Clifford Robinson rotated to Eddie Jones from the first moment Gary Trent was pinched, waiting to intercept Kobe's pass!

If it's just a starter-level point guard, then at this time it will definitely be forced to stop or even intercept!

If it's an All-Star level point guard, he might be able to pass the ball and get Eddie Jones to catch it, but there's no way to get through it.

What about Kobe? It was as if there was an eye in the sky in his mind! All the tactical rotations of the Trail Blazers defenders on the court are clear!
