After the game, O'Neill attended a press conference.

"What do you think of your 18-year-old teammate? He had an excellent performance of 25 points and 8 assists in this game. The New York media didn't wait for Kobe, so they had to grab O'Neal and ask.

"He's a natural powerhouse, and Penny didn't have that much in his rookie season." O'Neill's big mouth is starting to fire, and he likes to say things to get the attention of the media.

The New York media was excited, and they loved to watch the off-field battles between the players. And O'Neal, who has just left Orlando, has a lot of news to break out, and only they know what the relationship between him and Penny is.

This year's pennies are in desperate need of a way to prove themselves, and he has been able to sustain the team on his own since O'Neill's departure. O'Neill's intentional and unintentional comparison, the media will tell pennies in an instant. The New York media even came up with a newspaper headline the next day, "O'Neill admits pennies are not as good as a certain 18-year-old rookie."

The media continued to ask, "What do you think of Kobe Bryant's goal on Ewing?" ”

"Oh, you know. That's just fantastic, and it's rare for anyone to accomplish such a feat at the head of the big four. O'Neal's eyebrows fluttered, and he was a little excited at the thought of that dunk.

This is the impact of Kobe's style of play, which can boost the morale of his teammates and discourage them. Maybe not as efficient as some other players, but his murderous style of play will really bring great help to the team.

For the same two-pointer, the impact of jump shots and dunks on the team is completely different. The opposing coach won't care if he hits a jumper, unless he hits a succession or makes a three-pointer. The dunk can change the opposing team's defensive strategy, and it is very important for a star to make the opponent change his defensive strategy.

One kind of star is simply looking good with his own stats, and they can't bring qualitative change to the team. The other is to draw the defense to yourself and still play well or let your teammates play well.

Ewing, who was sitting on one side, had a green face, not only losing to his junior boy O'Neill. was also ridden by the rookie, which is simply a disaster. The ball he was blocked by Jordan caused a great sensation, and the consequences of this ball are unimaginable.

The New York media didn't like Ewing the gorilla, they felt that Ewing's appearance was too vulgar to match the demeanor of the Big Apple. The uncrowned kings of New York have not been waiting to see Ewing, and they are counting on the team to have a handsome player who can play.

Alan Houston, who joined the team this year, met their needs, and the mid-range shooting king, who scored 3-of-5 from three-point range and scored 19 points in this game, was the target they wanted to support. And Ewing, they don't want to deal with it at all.

Ewing watched as the New York media repeatedly asked O'Neill questions, and there were few reporters in front of him. Success or defeat, so obvious.

After the press conference, the Lakers hurriedly boarded the team bus. They need to get to Charlotte right away for a back-to-back game against the Hornets tomorrow.

On the bus, O'Neal quietly found Kobe.

"Hi buddy. I'm going to let it go, and the rookie penny is not as good as you. Keep doing this and we'll surpass what I've achieved in Orlando." "O'Neal beat Jordan in Orlando and reached the Finals. He believes that he and this Lakers team will definitely win championships in the future.

"Shaq, we're going to be the best ever." Bryant and Shaq gave each other a high-five.

"I believe in you, brother." Shaq's face was serious, and he couldn't help but look abrupt in front of Kobe's words. He thought Kobe Bryant was a player similar to Penny, but now he slowly discovers that Kobe Bryant's heart is much stronger than Penny. Bryant gave him a very trustworthy temperament, which pennies didn't have.

At this time, the Bulls' locker room, Jordan, who led the team to beat the Vancouver Grizzlies 96:73, leaned back in his seat.

"Hey, boss, you need to take a look. The Lakers' No. 13 rookie rode Ewing. Steve Kerr called Jordan to the TV, and a bunch of Bulls players were watching Kobe Bryant's performance.

"This kid's body movements are a bit like Jordan's when he was young." Scottie Pippen glanced at the brilliant goals of the four center forwards, and even they were shocked.

Jordan was noncommittal, but the rookie name of Kobe Bryant was in his heart. Ewing has been his rival for many years, and he has tried to slam Ewing and succeeded once. He knows how hard it is to dunk on the heads of the big four.

For this goal alone, Bryant's name deserves to be remembered. The league has touted several Jordan successors, such as Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill. Jordan thinks that the style of play has nothing to do with him.

But this kid's domineering breakthrough dunk made Jordan feel a little interesting.

At the First Union Center in Philadelphia, the Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers game entered the decisive moment.

81:81 drawn, with 15 seconds left in the clock.

Grant Hill was in possession of the ball in midfield when he suddenly shortened past Jerry Starkerhouse. Jumping in the middle distance, the ball flies out of your fingertips and goes straight into the hoop.

Whistle blows! Ball in! Grant Hill killed the 76ers. Hill's super performance of 22+14+9 in this game made the Philadelphia 76ers, who had worked hard all night, scoreless.

Allen Iverson returned to the locker room, and with 24 points, seven rebounds and two assists, he still couldn't bring a win to his team.

He looked up at the TV, where Bryant's shot against Ewing was being played over and over again. He knew that the Philadelphia-born No. 13 rookie, Kobe Bryant suppressed his 30-point lead with 31 points in the opening game. And this time, with a dunk and a 25-point performance, he outperformed himself again.

Allen Iverson stared at Kobe Bryant on the TV, and he wanted to keep this rookie in his class in his heart.

。。。。。。

Los Angeles, a high-end villa complex in Beverly Hills. Dr. Bass watched Kobe's performance flutter with eyebrows, and he really didn't expect the rookie that West had drafted to take on the heavy lifting so quickly.

"Jerry, your vision is really great." Bas picked up his glass of wine and handed it to Jerry West, who was watching the game with him.

"No, I didn't expect him to grow so fast." Jerry West thought it would take two to three years for Kobe Bryant to become an All-Star caliber player, and he was willing to take that time to wait. But Kobe Bryant's performance in every game now plays at the level of an All-Star or even a superstar, which surprises Jerry West.

"Then a toast to our rookie genius, the Chosen One." Bass knew that the championship he wanted might not be far off.

"Jerry, do what you think, I'm for you."

At Raulmayne High School in Philadelphia, Joe Sr. and a group of players are repeatedly watching the video of Kobe Bryant's several games.

"See, this breakthrough is from me. This slam dunk is also something I learned. This three-point has my 7 success. If you want to play in the NBA and become a star, you have to learn from me, you know. ”

The players in the seat looked at Lao Qiao who scolded Fang Yu with admiration, they didn't expect that this usually funny middle-aged fat man actually had such a powerful son, it seems that we have to learn from him.

Old Joe looked proudly at the group of players who were suppressed by him, and looked up at the TV. The ball that dunked Ewing really looked like himself when he was younger.
