"Fight back! Penny! "At this moment, at Montesion Christian School, a group of high school students gathered around to watch the game.

A high school student with a slender body and some eyes that can't be opened, clenched his fists. On the TV, his idol penny is being eaten by Kobe Bryant.

"Tracy! Don't think about it, it's impossible for your idol penny to beat the big shark and Kobe! "The young people who sit in a circle will inevitably have Lakers fans.

Although he has just played more than 20 games, Kobe, who has attracted fans in his playing style, has already gained a bunch of small fans.

"No way, pennies are the strongest."

"Pennies can't do without sharks."

Maddie pursed her lips stubbornly, he always believed that his idol was the strongest.

And Orlando, the penny who paused to return to the field, had a fire in his eyes.

was reprimanded by the coach and questioned by the general manager on the sidelines, and he had no way out.

You're going to fight! That's the battle!

Hardaway's eyes were different, and Kobe Bryant saw it and instantly made a defensive posture.

This opponent! Don't be careless!

Pennies play the basketball back and forth, as gently as he would a lover.

It's moving! Hardaway, who originally seemed to be strolling in the back garden, started in the blink of an eye, and the speed was as fast as thunder, and the audience on the sidelines seemed to see an afterimage!

If Grant Hill's breakthrough is compared to the rising sun, the panic is irresistible. Then Hardaway's breakthrough is a bolt from the blue!

At the moment you least expected, a thunderclap exploded, and the sky and the earth changed color.

It's too fast, it's too sudden, and Kobe Bryant, a player who handles such a good combination of movement and static, has never seen it.

Faster than in the first half! Last time, Kobe Bryant was able to interfere to a certain extent, but this time, Kobe Bryant was cleaned up!

After Hardaway broke through Kobe, he raised his hand high in the air, faced O'Neal's reinforcement, and threw a shot to score.

Throwing is a common skill for small guards, which requires a soft feel to maintain the feel at such a high speed, and it is a throw of such a height that there is no way to defend at all.

The basketball crosses a high parabola and falls into the net.

Is this what you're really capable of?

Kobe Bryant felt the same aura as Grant Hill from Penny Hardaway at this moment, the aura of a superstar.

Hardaway returned to the half without saying a word, as if it wasn't him who beat Bryant and O'Neal this time.

"Kobe, don't be careless, Hardaway is the man who beat Jordan and Pippen." O'Neal knows Hardaway inside out, and when he is so focused on attacking, even Jordan and Pippen can't be locked up.

It turned out that Hardaway was stronger than he thought.

But so what? Bryant is convinced that he is always the strongest.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Kobe Bryant singled out Hardaway at the top of the arc!

At this time, all tactics were forgotten by Kobe.

1-on-1, face-to-face.

Kill, punish the heart!

Bryant's eyes were cold, and Hardaway was not afraid to look at him.

Tentative step! Simple tricks are full of tricks, and after Kobe Bryant tentatively steps to the right, he can keep up with more than a dozen changes according to the defender's movements, and the more variables, the harder it is to defend.

Bryant's tentative step was just a starter, and Hadda stood in front and stepped back to the left.

Wrong! Bryant's tentative step to the right translates into a stride to the left, and a three-point shot from a step-back step!

Hit!

It's so strong, I've never seen such a strong rookie, especially his momentum, as if he wants to kill me!

Hardaway secretly reflected that he was disturbed by Kobe's indomitable momentum in this tentative step, and his reaction was too violent and he retreated too much.

The offense and defense switched, and Hardaway was in the same position, and he suddenly accelerated again.

This time he was stopped by Kobe!

With the same trick, how could Kobe Bryant not be guarded, retreat continuously, and would rather release shooting space, Kobe Bryant still stopped Hardaway's breakthrough.

Hardaway was helpless and shot from a long distance.

Miss! O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant is like a panther rushing out! The vigorous posture went straight to the Magic half!

There is only one person on the entire court who can keep up with Kobe's speed.

Penny Hardaway ran back into the box!

Brake? Non-existent, Bryant rushed straight to Hardaway.

It's going to crash! Hardaway was standing outside the reasonable impact zone, and he was already waiting for the referee to give Bryant an offensive foul.

Kobe Bryant collected the ball, turned around in a split second, smeared Hardaway like oil, and hit a layup with a low hand under the basket.

Hardaway attacked again, took advantage of Ronnie Secali's screen, got to the basket, twisted and scored the ball.

Kobe Bryant passes the ball to Eddie Jones, elbows it down, and scores a back-to-back jumper!

Hardaway hits the shot!

Kobe Bryant breaks through the dunk!

What is a superstar matchup, just look at this match.

Two stars in the same position, similar physique, used up eighteen martial arts and scored each other.

This is the charm of professional basketball, the audience on the sidelines, the audience in front of the TV, the audience in front of the radio, cheering for the two stars, at this moment the home team and the away team are not important, the victory or defeat is not important, and enjoying the magical performance brought to them by the superstar is the only thing the audience can do.

For the first time, Bryant felt that he was playing so freely, and an opponent like Penny was too rare.

It's too strong, both players are too strong.

"This kind of matchup should be in the finals!" Jerry West sighed in the office.

"I can't wait to fight them." The god of Chicago, hands itch.

Strong confrontation can often burst out more beautiful sparks.

In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 17 points in a single quarter and Penny scored 14 points in a single quarter! The performances of both men are worthy of the title of superstars.

The Lakers still held the lead, leading by eight points at 81:73.

In the fourth quarter, both coaches were very conservative and used substitute lineups in the opening stages.

Horsgrant, who won a big contract this summer, was knocked to the ground by Ben Wallace's big palm, which became the epitome of a fourth-quarter bench matchup.

Substitute in the first half, Horry stepped up and scored two goals in a row before assisting Fisher for a three-pointer.

90：75！ This score is basically a death sentence!

The double starters played, Kobe Bryant began to press the rhythm, and Hardaway wanted to bring a fast pace!

Two top talents showed their influence on the tempo of the game, and they put away their attacks and began to influence the game by controlling the tempo.

In the end, the Lakers relied on the advantage of Kobe Bryant and O'Neal to firmly stabilize the score, and Hardaway's efforts were in vain.

104：91。 The Lakers got a win away from Orlando.

Bryant finished with 31 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists as a top point guard, while O'Neal had 35 points and 12 rebounds.

Penny Hardaway's performance was the only bright spot for the Magic, with 27 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Very comprehensive and very excellent.

But like so many games this season, it didn't give the Magic a win.

The panting Penny Hardaway is a little unwilling, even if he changes his playing style and throws up team basketball, can't he still win?

"Penny! You're playing great. O'Neill gave his former little brother a hug.

"Shaq, maybe your departure was the right one." Hardaway's helplessness turned into a sigh.

Bryant has come along, and this is the closest opponent he's faced this season, and Penny deserves a better future.

"Hardaway, do you have a sore left knee?"

"Did you see that?" Hardaway smiled wryly.

"Don't play with an injury, your knee will be scrapped."

"If it were you, would you throw the team off the field to recuperate?"

"Neither will I."
