Chapter 217: Strangling Kobe! (Four more, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a reward)
Campbell's strong rise made the pressure on Kobe Bryant's offensive end slightly less, at least without starting the takeover mode in the first quarter. This season, who averaged only 12+9 per game, has become the Lakers' Optimus Prime today.
Australian giant Luke Longley is somewhat similar to Bogut in later generations, but lacks Bogut's ruthlessness and playmaking ability with the ball. In the face of the menacing Campbell, he actually coaxed.
"Fake, can you guard against that guy, if not, I'll be killed!" Jordan pointed at Luke Longley's nose and scolded, ignoring that it was a public occasion and did not give face to his teammates at all.
On the Bulls, Jordan is the sky. He's going to give face to Phil, he's going to give face to Pippen, Harper, and Rodman. Other players, he was never a good talker.
Arouse? In such a critical battle, you actually softened. Your weight of 2.18 meters and 120 kilograms is just for seeing?
"Forget it, boss, we're still ahead." Harper and Pippen worked together to persuade Jordan, who was wearing a red jersey, and the scene was somewhat similar to Wade of the Heat in later generations.
Half quarter passed, Bulls 14:13 Lakers.
Campbell scored eight points on 3-of-4 shooting.
Kobe Bryant was 1 of 2 for 3 points, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Eddie Jones hits a throw.
Bowen made 0 of 3 shots, and Big Ben didn't shoot.
Tough, the Bulls' defense has made the Lakers' group of rookies who have had a smooth ride this season feel the pressure.
The reason why the Bulls didn't pull away from the score was that they were obsessed with singles Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant gasped, and in 6 minutes of play, he experienced 7 singles!
Half of the Bulls' offensive options are singles Kobe Bryant!
The Bulls' three top outside linemen take turns to single out Kobe!
Jordan and Pippen, with blocking and dismantling, find Kobe Bryant to go head-to-head!
Jordan hit 3 times and hit 2 balls!
Pippen was 1 of 2 and was tackled once.
Harper was 0 in 2 and was covered by Kobe Bryant once.
The efficiency is not high, Kobe's defense is not vegetarian, and neither Pippen nor Harper can eat well in front of him.
Phil Jackson was very satisfied with this simple, simple, old-fashioned style of play. Since the triangle attack has been leaked, let's use the most primitive superstar heads-up!
is to rely on the advantage of having more stars, that is, to bully you with only one Kobe.
In just half a quarter, Bryant was already out of breath.
You must know that these players are not ordinary people, each of them leads the team alone, and they have the ability to cut an average of 20+ per game in the next season.
It is conceivable that if Kobe Bryant did what Phil Jackson thought and faced the Bulls in the first quarter, then the physical strength would definitely not be enough.
"No, we can't go on like this." Bryant felt he had to make some adjustments, the Bulls were playing too comfortably, and the Lakers were too passive.
All the players had their eyes on Kobe.
"Tight!"
"What? Pressing on the bulls? "The players think it's a fantasy and that anyone else can break the ball out of Jordan Pippen Harper's hands?
"It's not about breaking the ball! Don't they want to consume Kobe, if they continue to play like this, the whole Bulls team and Kobe Bryant will compare their physical fitness! Kirtambis's glasses flashed, and he was the first to understand what Kobe meant.
"And pressing is to let the whole Bulls team run with us! Don't press for the purpose of breaking the ball, but force their offense to speed up! I don't have that much time to slow down the pick-and-roll and switch the defense heads-up Kobe! ”
"Let's consume the physical strength of the whole team with the physical strength of the whole Bulls! Can't we outrun these old men in their 30s? ”
"That's right, these old guys take turns to take on the boss, and we're just standing by and watching?" Ben Wallace was indignant, and as Kobe's number one bodyguard, he was the most uncomfortable. In particular, some small actions of Dennis Rodman made him very angry.
"Speak by the head." Bowen thought for a moment and said.
"Bruce, your mission is to keep Jordan at bay! Can't let him find a chance to go head-to-head Kobe, be careful! ”
"Good!"
"Let's go! Give these old guys some color looks! ”
"Crazy? Are Lakers players crazy? James Worthy looked at the Lakers players who were frantically pressing the Bulls, and was stunned.
"What? The Lakers are actually pressing the Bulls, and pressing is often a tactic that will only be used when one side is fully crushed by physical fitness or physical fitness, why are the Lakers pressing the Bulls with these small arms and legs? ”
"Pippen doesn't care! All the way to the top of the arc with Eddie Jones! Crush! I saw a bison on a rampage! ”
"Pass the ball! Pippen doesn't look at the ball on the ground! Exactly came to Jordan, who was blocked by Luke Longley! ”
"Jordan pushes Bowen away and shoots from mid-range! Hit! ”
Jordan spread his hands, as if to say that Bowen's defense is not worth mentioning!
"Pressing? Why are the bulls pressing for several Hall of Fame-level ball carriers? ”
"No, Harris has his deep meaning, you don't find it, after the pressing, the bull is running! It's no longer a slow position to play Kobe Bryant! The Lakers used the team's physical energy to protect Kobe! ”
"Very clever tactical change, worthy of Silver Fox Harris." The magician complimented from the bottom of his heart.
And Kobe Bryant on the court, after relieving the pressure on the defensive end, he is ready to start attacking!
You can't expect Campbell to play all the time.
After the Bulls' defense began to crunch, Bryant had to step up and do something!
The defender in front of Kobe Bryant is Jordan, in the first half of the quarter, Jordan locked Kobe Bryant tightly, Kobe Bryant did not get a chance to shoot in the open position, and Pippen often came over to help defend it.
Bryant took on the historic level of defensive pressure, and even the Magic led by a single core collapsed under this pressure.
However, the more pressure there is, the more motivation Kobe Bryant has.
Isn't the greatest pleasure of returning from rebirth against countless superstars spanning 20 years?
The star of the stars, Michael Jordan, is the object that Kobe Bryant wants to defeat the most!
Hold the ball with his right hand and lean slightly sideways to block Jordan's attack.
Hasten!
Jordan's defense didn't allow Kobe to make any extra moves to adjust the pace! Too much tedious dribbling will only lead to mistakes!
Kobe Bryant's movements are refined to the extreme!
The right hand pulls the ball out, the left foot kicks the ground hard, and the whole person accelerates to the right.
The ultimate explosive power! Kobe Bryant's step has reached a peak speed of 9 percent!
Jordan sliding step! Exaggerated stride length and arm span, in the case of losing the opportunity, forcibly stuck to Kobe!
Two people go to the inside line at the same time!
Jordan didn't lose his position! Always follow Kobe! Hand movements, ready to snatch the ball from Kobe's hands!
Kobe Bryant didn't care! Two more steps, and Pippen will be wrapped up again!
Turn around on the left side in reverse and hold the ball high!
Feints!
Jordan didn't jump, but the center of gravity was lit up!
Kobe Bryant turned to the right again! Get ready to shoot again!
Jordan jumped!
It's still a feint! Kobe Bryant shook Jordan!
Again turn to another one.
Jump with one leg support.
Jump shot.
A figure appeared in front of Kobe!
Michael jordan!
After jumping, Jordan bounced quickly again and defended himself in front of Kobe!
Exaggerated reflexes! Exaggerated bullet speed!
The basketball is thrown from the tip of Jordan's finger.
It's just almost capped!
"Huh!"
in.
