Chapter 346: One Man Destroys the Team! (Three more!) 6/7! )
Give up the resistance!
The Seattle SuperSonics were ready to give up resistance after the second quarter, and they didn't want to win this game. The players led by Gary Payton watched the Golden Rooster stand alone and hit a three-pointer with such a beautiful but completely inconsistent projection that did not conform to the current basketball philosophy, and they fell to the ground in despair!
This scene is very unexpected, but it is reasonable. Kobe Bryant has broken through the sky in the half and made 9 three-pointers! You must know that Larry Bird, known as the No. 1 three-point shooter in history, has a single-game three-point shooting record of 8! Reggie Miller, who is known as the league's strongest three-point shooter, has a single-game three-point shooting record of 7!
Kobe Bryant broke their record in half a game!
Miracles! There is no other way to describe this performance. If it was 9 three-pointers in the half of the game brushed on the head of the bad team, maybe everyone could still understand it.
But Kobe's opponent is the Seattle SuperSonics! Glove Gary Payton! Last Year's Best Defensive Player! And not alone, Kobe's last three points were scored under the bag!
Miracles! Black Christ! Kobe fans in front of the TV hold their heads up!
The Supersonic Key Stadium was silent, and there was not even the slightest noisy atmosphere at halftime. The fans mechanically left their seats, went to the toilet, and then returned to their places with a cold face and no emotion.
Terrible.
Kobe Bryant destroyed a city alone!
This is not an exaggeration, at halftime, Kobe Bryant interrupted the backbone of Payton, the invincible glove, interrupted the confidence of the supersonic management who was ready to trample on the first team in the league and stepped on the Lakers, ruined the confidence of the supersonic players to continue playing, and broke the respect of Shayattle fans for the team.
The score at halftime was 69:57 SuperSonics for the Lakers.
The score gap is not big, and it can be said that these supersonic players who are in their playing years have seen countless times lose by 12 points at halftime. But this time, the 12 points seemed to weigh on my heart with unbearable weight.
How to fight? Gives you 9-of-13 three-pointers at halftime! The two of them caught the Golden Rooster and hit a three-point shot independently!
I can't play anymore!
No one will play against you like you!
Don't want to play with Kobe Bryant anymore! You play alone! That's what Peyton thinks right now.
"Black Christ mode! Kobe Bryant has turned on the Black Christ mode again! The SuperSonics should be thankful that Kobe Bryant's shots are not too many, and Kobe's half-time shots are all concentrated outside the three-point line, and there are only a few fast-break opportunities to hit the basket. ”
Perhaps this is also a success in the supersonic defensive set-up, Payton and Kemp did block Kobe's mid-range and under-the-basket scoring, and Bryant's mid-range and under-the-basket scoring were only in single digits at halftime, which is indeed a success. It's just that the price paid for this success, is hypersound acceptable? Is George Carr acceptable? ”
No!
George Carr can't accept it!
9 three-pointers, one shot and one ball, as if they were thrown in his heart. Every goal has left him with a knife, he is not a rigid coach, he has adjusted his defensive strategy in time, driving Kobe Bryant to the middle distance, to the inside, to Kemp.
But Kobe Bryant didn't go to the empty door arranged by George Karl! You have to defend three points in strict defense!
Ball after ball! The more you throw your hand, the hotter it gets!
George Karl wanted to vomit a little, and he wanted to vomit even more when he thought that there was still half of the game.
A bet? Let's see if Kobe's touch will last in the second half?
No way! At this time, George Karl didn't dare to block, bag clip! Wrap in advance! A bag that doesn't care about winning or losing! Use Payton and McMillan to get Kobe Bryant out of the team!
"Are you sure you want to?" At the beginning of the second half, Bryant had not yet received the ball. Payton and McMillan, the two All-Defensive Team level guards, hung one after the other beside him, and couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm sorry, Kobe, you were asked out of the game." McMillan followed Kobe Bryant for continuous running, and Bryant hung two people who couldn't run out of the empty space either with their bare hands or with the help of pick-and-roll.
If it's an ordinary double combination, Kobe Bryant still has a way, it feels so hot, shoot a few more, and you can always get in.
But glove Payton plus McMillan, this defense is a bit strong!
"Okay." Kobe Bryant thought about it, just win the game, break the half-court record, and leave the record of three-point shooting in the whole game to the next team!
The current Kobe Bryant does not have the opportunity and ability to force scoring in the face of Payton and McMillan, which requires Bryant's physical fitness to be taken to a higher level. Kobe Bryant also regretted a little, as if in this case, he lost the opportunity to dunk Kemp.
When the SuperSonics opted to use Payton and McMillan to pull Kobe out of the game, it actually meant that they gave up the game.
Eddie Jones was completely empty, and Harris was immediately replaced by two top three-pointers, Dell Curry and Horry.
The team's barrage of three-pointers directly destroyed the SuperSonics in the first half of the third quarter, stretching the margin to more than 20 points.
Then SuperSonics signaled to replace all the starters, and Harris didn't dwell too much and replaced all the starters.
Amid a hail of boos, Payton and Kemp left the table early in towels and walked into the tunnel of the players.
"This shame, I will pay it back to Kobe Bryant one day." Peyton gritted his teeth, and the bloodshot inside of his eyes was frighteningly red.
"Hmm." Kemp let out a heavy nasal sound.
At the end of the game, the Lakers beat the SuperSonics by 35 points 127:92!
Bryant played 25 minutes and scored 38 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
"Is that why the Lakers have consistently topped the league record list in the regular season?" At the Boston hotel, Michael Jordan turned off the television after Kobe Bryant hit his ninth three-pointer.
What would happen next, he knew all too well.
The supersonic have no chance of turning the tables, and their despair can be seen in their eyes. It looks like four All-Stars, but each of them is a soft egg, which was proven in last year's Finals.
And the next trend of the game is nothing more than whether Kobe can continue to break the record, or whether George Karl gives up the game and uses everyone to surround Kobe.
In both cases, Michael Jordan didn't want to continue watching, and Jordan didn't like to watch his opponent break records.
"We're going to have to figure out how to stop Kobe's three-pointers." Pippen's words echoed the hearts of the Bulls in the audience.
"It's just a hand-feeling outburst and he's not going to have it in the playoffs."
"Not necessarily, Kobe Bryant has done a lot of things that people don't think he can do."
"It's better to be cautious, at least be prepared for how to strangle Kobe once he finds his touch outside the three-point line."
"No need to discuss, I'll take care of Kobe." Jordan slammed the cigar on the table, the cigar went out instantly, and the smoke rose in silence.
Soldier against soldier, general against general.
Defending Kobe Bryant is not something that other players are capable of and qualified to do.
After Isaiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Big Bird Bird, Michael Jordan finally put a player on an equal footing with himself.
