Chapter 452: Jordan Loses, G6 Begins!
At a time when most of the media was still criticizing Kobe, Jordan's loss made the media's attention focus on Chicago again.
The Bulls lost to the Heat 80-87.
The Lakers and Chicago are like brothers, losing one after another!
Compared with Kobe's last three misses, Jordan's performance this time is even more black!
9-of-35 from the field, 0-of-8 from three-point range, 29 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers (historical real data, God also has times when he strikes iron).
25.7% hit!
That's a shooting percentage of 35 shots!
It's insane!
"I don't understand what Michael and Kobe are doing, they can pass the ball." The corners of ESPN's reporter raised slightly in disdain.
He has never played professional basketball at all, but he is like an expert, judging Kobe Bryant and Jordan's playing options.
"It's ridiculous, they're wasting their talent. They are the cancer of the team, and without them, maybe the Lakers and Bulls could have won this game. β
"Jordan and Kobe Bryant are hurting their team, and if I were their coach, I'd let them sit on the bench and cool down."
ESPN's remarks instantly drew Iverson's displeasure.
βBULLSHITοΌ What are they saying? Don't understand the ball at all, damn it. AI scolded and scolded, in his opinion, Kobe Jordan's style of play is the style of play he wants to pursue, and he was scolded by these reporters for being worthless.
"They should really have played Kobe Bryant on the court, and these sunspots will understand."
"Aaron, EASY."
Iverson's eyes widened, he really didn't understand why Kobe and Jordan became public enemies of the United States in an instant.
Everyone has a bad hand, and people are never machines. How is it possible to maintain a super-god performance all the time? Kobe Bryant and Jordan's stability is almost historic, but they are still not accepted and recognized by the media, and it is ridiculous to be judged for the slightest flaw.
Immediately dialed Bryant's phone.
"Kobe, ignore the stupid media. THEY'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT BULLSHIT, AND THEY CAN FIGHT AS MUCH AS THEY WANT. Iverson hung up the phone instantly.
The corners of Bryant's mouth rose in the Houston hotel, and he had received a lot of calls lately.
Although Bryant was completely unaffected by the media, he was very grateful for the greetings of these friends.
The next game is just around the corner.
Kobe's eyes seemed to see through time and space, seeing tomorrow's game scene.
...
"It's just a normal loss, and Jordan has his moments of fatigue." Phil Jackson held his chin helplessly, and after the game, Jordan shook his head and left, leaving himself here to deal with the media.
"Phil, Jordan took 35 shots and he shot just 25.7 percent, is that style of play hurting the team?"
Of course not, Michael's shot is mostly the team's tactical arrangement, and he will naturally choose to shoot when he has the opportunity. It's just that today's luck wasn't on our side, and a lot of the goals that should have been scored were not made. β
"Will Michael still shoot so many times in the next game?"
"It depends on the selection of the team and the defensive arrangement of the opponent."
"What do you think of the Lakers on the other side of the West? Kobe Bryant's performance on a late-minute miss. β
"Man, you're overplaying Kobe Bryant and Michael's mistakes. Anyone has a bad hand, even the best players in the league, but they're going to bounce back in the next game, that's for sure. β
"Phil, are you saying that Michael and Kobe Bryant will bounce back strongly in the next game, defeat doubts, and dominate the game?"
"Of course."
...
"Hello everyone! Here is the live broadcast of the American Basketball Pro Basketball Game brought to you by NBC, the Lakers vs. Houston G6, after Houston pulled the score back to 3:2! If they can defend their home stadium, then they will head to Los Angeles for a tie-break! β
"The veterans in Houston are calm, and it seems that the victory in the last game has restored their tired spirits to some extent."
"The Lakers players on the other side also came to the court, their faces were calm, and it looked like Kobe Bryant was not disturbed by the previous game."
"The game is about to start, and the Lakers are still starting with Big Ben against the blocking of Barkley and Hakim."
"Houston's starting lineup remains the same, so let's wait and see for the next game!"
At the start of the game, O'Neill beat Olajuwon to win the jump ball.
Except for G1 O'Neal's careless mistakes, the other five games O'Neill won the jump ball by a landslide.
The basketball came to Kobe's hands, and Kobe calmly dribbled across the half court.
The calm face, as if completely unaffected by the defeat in the previous game, also gave Harris and Rambis a sigh of relief on the sidelines.
"What a steady child." Harris sighed that if there had been Kobe Bryant a few years ago, maybe his hair would still be black now.
"If Kobe Bryant plays normally, then the game should be able to be won, and I really don't want to be dragged into a tie-break with Houston."
Kobe dribbled past half court, and Houston's side was still the same old-fashioned defensive setup.
"Shaq." Kobe shouted an O'Neal block, and O'Neal came to the outside line with a fart.
Although Drexler has faced O'Neal's blockade many times, he feels a little painful every time he encounters this big wall.
Front or back?
If you go around the front, you will have to fight hand-to-hand with the prehistoric beast, and if you go around the back, you will put Kobe Bryant three points.
Drexler hesitated for a moment, then chose to go back.
Cast it, try your hand, and if it's as bad as the last game ended up, you're ready to win the game.
Bryant got the space, rose decisively, formed a beautiful angle with his legs, and pushed the ball out with one hand.
"Still so decisive! Kobe Bryant's shot didn't seem to be disturbed by the last minute of the last game. β
"Shot! Kobe Bryant shot! β
The basketball arc is high and sharp.
"Huh."
Hollow into the net.
Drexler bit his lip.
Damn, I still can't put it.
But in the next performance, Kobe Bryant made Houston understand what it means to ignore the defense of the offense.
"It's in again! Kobe Bryant's hand is hot! At the beginning of this game, the absolute offensive core of the Lakers was Kobe! β
"Unlimited right to fire! Harris still relieved to give Kobe Bryant unlimited firing rights! Kobe Bryant's shot in this game is decisively not like words! If he continues like this, will he take 35 shots like Michael? β
Full fire!
Three-pointer, mid-range shot, go to the basket and challenge the restricted area!
Kobe Bryant chose to take charge of the offense directly in the first quarter!!
