Chapter 81: The Veil of Fate
Iverson handed Starks, who had fallen to the ground, a hand.
"Brother, stand up. I'll help you get revenge. ”
Starks held out his hand.
The 76ers opted for a timeout, and Bryant's block and Eddie Jones' quick drop gave the team an even worse blow.
The score is already 10 points behind, 56:46.
"Jerry! Kobe Bryant, don't attack if you defend you! Focus on defense! Aaron Attack! Johnny Davis roared, and Bryant's offense and defense against Starks directly paralyzed the team.
"But, coach, I ....." Jerry Starkerhouse was unwilling, but he couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Kobe's covering the sky.
Then let Aaron fight.
It was the first time Jerry Stackhouse was willing to give up possession to Iverson.
Although the team has decided to have Iverson as the core of the team, Jerry Starkerhouse has been a little unconvinced.
If Allen can lead me to defeat Kobe, then what's the point of me helping you?
Switching offense and defense, Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Kobe Bryant went to defend Jerry Starkerhouse, so it was Eddie Jones standing in front of Iverson.
Eddie Jones' defense is also very good, but his lateral speed and familiarity with Iverson are nowhere near as good as Kobe.
Iverson nimbly broke through Eddie Jones' defense and got inside to draw a foul on Campbell.
“COME ON。 Campbell, don't paddle. O'Neill pretended to reprimand Campbell.
"Okay, no problem!" Campbell's old face was red, and he was a little embarrassed to perform today, but I couldn't help it if my feet were soft.
Then don't cooperate in defense, squat in the pit to defend to the end!
Bryant attacked, shouting O'Neal to block and dismantle.
O'Neal slowly snorted to the perimeter, not blocking Starkerhouse at all.
Bryant's mid-range shot was interfered with by Jerry Starkerhouse, who was struggling to pounce, and missed.
Bryant glared at O'Neal, who pretended not to see it and ran back to his own half in small steps.
Iverson also blocked the pick-and-roll, with Derrick Coleman blocking Eddie Jones and Iverson hitting a shot in front of Campbell in the pit.
Kobe Bryant served, these two old actors.
Teammates play, then do it yourself.
Kobe and Iverson began to fight each other in the third quarter, with Bryant eating Stackhouse alone, while Iverson and Derrick Coleman blocked and played.
The game was deadlocked.
Something wasn't right, and Bryant found himself being led into a trap by Jerry Starkerhouse.
hurriedly switched positions with Eddie Jones, and Iverson's offense was stopped by Kobe.
Iverson's breakthrough made it difficult for the slow-moving Campbell and O'Neal to deal with, causing the Lakers to foul inside one after another.
Bryant also used extremely efficient mid-range shooting to get in front of Jerry Starkhouse.
The two sides switched to the bench at the end of the third quarter, and Bryant went off the bench. And Iverson is still on the court, and he is ready to play the third quarter!
Iverson is averaging 40.1 minutes per game this season, and it is with him that Philadelphia's weak bench is led to prevent it from collapsing.
Fisher rubbed his hands together, and finally came to deal with this guy who had repeatedly stolen the limelight from me.
"Guys, it's time to show off the real skills!" Fisher yelled in style and led the Lakers' bench onto the court.
"Nick! I'm here to defend Iverson! Fisher crossed his hips, and he felt that he was the most beautiful boy on the field at this moment.
"Really? All right. Nick van Exel thought about it and agreed to Fisher's request.
"Miserable, little man. I met my second boy in Stone City, and then I'm afraid it will be difficult for you. Fisher trash talk at Allen Iverson with the ball.
Iverson didn't reply, staring at Fisher with wide eyes.
"What do you see, I'll ask you what you see. You've been here, you've been here. Fisher snapped his finger at Iverson disdainfully.
And then.
It was passed by Iverson.
Kobe Bryant looked at the dumbfounded Fisher, and his hands were a little itchy.
This guy seems to be in arrears.
At the end of the third quarter, Bryant scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Iverson also exploded in the quarter, scoring 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting.
In the third quarter, Iverson was only 1 of 3 in front of Kobe. He scored almost exclusively against other players, and Lakers players don't have a lot of experience dealing with this kind of speedy little man.
The average height of the Lakers is too high, and Fisher was suddenly turned into a sieve by Iverson, so it is difficult to prevent Iverson, who is on the rise.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had a narrow lead of 72-67.
Bryant's total came to 21 points, while Iverson had 22.
Entering the fourth quarter, Bryant returned to the court to replace Fisher. He and his coach applied to come and take a few minutes off the bench, and he was ready to play the full fourth quarter.
The Lakers' lineup is PG Nick Van Exel, SG Kobe Bryant, SF Rob Horry, PF Ben Wallace C, Tyrese Knight.
Bryant was very fit, he handed the ball to Van Exel, and then ran wildly and played a three-pointer off the ball.
Jerry Stackhouse rushed to the court to defend after Kobe Bryant came on the court.
But Bryant's off-ball play left Jerry Stackhouse a little blind, and Ben Wallace and Tyrese Knight's pick-and-roll style was very different from O'Neal Campbell.
Their energetic pick-and-roll Jerry Starkerhouse was in pain, and Kobe Bryant took the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.
Hit.
8 points ahead.
Iverson gritted his teeth, he wanted an equaliser.
Quickly dribble the ball to the front court, where Bryant is already guarding.
Iverson's continuous change of direction offense was broken up by Kobe Bryant, and he shot iron in desperation.
Bryant broke through Stackhouse's defense and scored a layup under the basket.
Ten points ahead.
Iverson called a pick-and-roll, only to be slapped down by Ben Wallace.
Bryant picked up the ball and scored on a fast-break dunk.
With a twelve-point lead, Philadelphia opted for a timeout.
With 8 minutes left in the game, both sides switched to the starting line-up for the final showdown.
There is not much time left to be born, but the score is as many as 12 points.
The Philadelphia 76ers were in a hurry, and Iverson, who had just been taken a chance, stood up to Kobe's defense and made a three-point shot.
The ball slammed into the basket, and O'Neal picked up the rebound and threw it to Kobe Bryant, who was about to go.
Bryant took the ball across half court at great speed, and Iverson and Starkerhouse fought to catch up.
Kobe Bryant ran too fast, but the dribbling didn't slow him down in the slightest. Shake off Iverson and dunk with a backhand.
The game spent.
At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the 76ers 95-79 and won the first game in three straight road games.
Kobe Bryant had 32 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and told Philadelphia with Jordan-level performance who is the king of the 96th session!
Iverson's 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists seem good, but he probably added up to less than 10 points in front of Kobe.
"Aaron." Bryant called out to Iverson, who was about to leave.
"What?"
"Swap jerseys, you're playing great."
The two grim faces on the field smiled at the same time, and the scene of them holding each other's jerseys and hugging each other was recorded by the camera.
The twin stars of the 96 generation have opened the curtain of fateful showdown.
