Chapter Ninety-Seven: O'Neill's Revenge (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)

At the beginning of the game, O'Neal gave his old club Orlando Magic a dismissal.

The jump ball beat Ronnie Secali, and after the fly ball, he quickly whipped up and killed the Magic basket.

Bryant received the ball without pausing, throwing the ball vigorously to the frontcourt like a football quarterback, O'Neal jumped up to catch the ball, and contributed a powerful two-handed dunk under the basket.

O'Neal roared hard, tearing the basket with both hands, and the basket shook back and forth as if it was about to fall apart.

After landing, John Gabriel, the general manager of the Magic team, glared at the sidelines amid boos, and the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.

Don't think that you run the Magic team well, the results of the Magic team depend on me!

"Wow, that's amazing!" Fisher on the sidelines waved his towel wildly, and this passing dunk throughout the court was too exciting.

"Shaq is the king of Orlando, and without Shaq, Orlando fans don't know what a dark end awaits them." Horry has seen it thoroughly, this game is O'Neal's farewell to the past, and he will do his best to show Orlando fans how terrible it is to lose the king's rule.

It's like meeting an ex and you always want to show them the best and make them regret what they missed out.

Kobe Bryant was very supportive of understanding O'Neal, and he decided to give O'Neal all his strength in this game. Ronnie Secali is a strong center forward who doesn't move very quickly, and O'Neal will play very easily against him.

The opening kickoff didn't affect Anfernee Hardaway, who held the ball through the half, and the defender was Kobe.

It was the first time Bryant had played up against a point guard of similar physique, and he knew that Penny was very difficult to deal with, so he took a defensive stance.

Hardaway, on the other hand, did not stick to the ball at all, and carried the ball through the half-court. The ball went through two or three passes, but did not create a good shooting space, and the Orlando player saw that Penny had no intention of making the first shot, so he passed the ball to Dennis Scott, and the three-point shot was seriously interfered with by Bowen.

"That's how you led the team?" Kobe Bryant wondered if Penny Hardaway, who had the dual identity of an offensive initiator and an offensive finisher, didn't play the first ball. If Kobe Bryant hadn't averaged 30 shots per game, he wouldn't have understood what Penny was thinking.

"Play reasonably, Kobe." Penny patiently persuaded that he felt that Kobe's style of play was a bit unique, although the data was luxurious, but it was too sticky.

Kobe Bryant used O'Neal to block and dismantle, went straight to the basket, attracted the defense and threw the ball back, and O'Neal followed up with an empty dunk.

"I played reasonably." A 20-year career has taught Kobe Bryant when to play and how to play, as an offensive initiator, he has to break down the defense, and then attack himself or attract the defense and pass it to his teammates.

If you look at defense as a glass cover, Kobe's current style of leading the team is to hammer out cracks with a sledgehammer, and then let teammates stick nails into it, and if I can't get in, I will continue to hammer.

And Anfernee Hardaway's style is more like taking turns with his teammates to take the hammer to hammer, everyone takes turns to take the hammer, whoever wants to hammer twice, and he will not act as a pioneer.

Which style is better, of course Kobe Bryant thinks that it is the first one, American professional basketball is not a playhouse, fairy tale basketball does not exist. The role of the star is to take the lead, and if he doesn't break through the defense, how can his teammates with poor ability play comfortably?

This is Kobe Bryant's basketball philosophy.

Hardaway frowned, he wanted to reprimand Kobe, but he didn't know how to say it.

Isn't it what basketball should be like to grow with your teammates and make them better? Brother basketball, average basketball is Hardaway's basketball philosophy.

Let me wake you up!

No one knew that Kobe Bryant and Hardaway both had this idea at the same time.

Hardaway reached the Lakers half again with the ball, and this time he played a high pick-and-roll with Ronnie Secali. This is the Magic's main tactic this season, and Ronnie Secali's 17.3 points per game is also based on this.

Ronnie Secali's body width is huge, and Kobe Bryant was overlooked for a moment and hung up by him.

It was too late to make up for it, and Hardaway strode into the basket.

O'Neal has been waiting for Hardaway in the penalty area, although they are very good brothers, but this time, he wants to win everything back in Orlando!

Hardaway only has O'Neal in his eyes, the former Orlando twin stars, at this moment, the winner is going to be decided!

Hardaway's movements are very concise and efficient, facing the 2.16-meter giant-like O'Neal, worshiping Buddha and shaking, and then bowing his head into the penalty area.

O'Neal held his hands high, close to Hardaway, Hardaway took the ball on the right side and pretended to throw, shook off O'Neal, and then quickly turned to the left and leaned back!

With the right foot as the axis, the body is free, and there is a lot of room to shoot.

Oops! This recline is too great, and O'Neill has no way to interfere!

Everyone thought Hardaway's dashing step-back jumper was going to go in!

Kobe, who bypassed Ronnie Secali, quietly appeared behind Hardaway!

Hardaway didn't notice it in the slightest, turned over and jumped, and the ball was held down by a black hand before he could shoot!

Bryant pressed Hardaway's step-back jumper!

O'Neal picks up the ball and throws it to Eddie Jones, who is running fast, and Eddie Jones slams the score!

At 6-0 in the opening game, Magic coach Brian Hill called a timeout.

O'Neal was so excited that he ran over and was about to hit Kobe Bryant's chest!

"Wait, stop!" Bryant couldn't dodge and was knocked to the ground by a happy O'Neal.

"Fack, I didn't dodge it this time." Bryant's eyes went black, and a behemoth hung on him, and he briefly lost consciousness, feeling like he was on the edge of hell.

O'Neal hurriedly pulled Kobe Bryant up, and he smiled embarrassedly.

"Idiot, are you trying to kill me?"

"Isn't that too exciting?" O'Neal touched his head, Kobe's block was murderous. If the penny had scored the ball in front of him, Oran Multimedia would have to say something tomorrow.

On December 6, O'Neal knocked me down on the field, and it seemed that the matter of blocking O'Neal was going to be on the agenda.

Bryant wrote this line down in his notebook after preparing for the game.

Hardaway looked at the two Kobe O'Neals who were fighting, and couldn't help but feel a little fresh.

The game continued, and this time Hardaway didn't attack again, he passed to Horsgrant, and Grant scored a layup with an empty cut.

The Lakers possessed the ball, Kobe avoided Hardaway's interference, and passed to O'Neal, who was sitting in the low post, O'Neal was like a beast, swallowing Ronnie Secali in one bite, knocking Ronnie Secali away, turning around and instantly rising into the air, and the whole person hung on the basket.

Magic can't stop their former king!

"Still not yet?" Bryant provokes Hardaway.

Hardaway took a deep breath.

It's coming! Kobe Bryant is keeping an eye on Hardaway's movements!

Rightward! Bryant stepped back.

No, Hardaway's breakthrough to the right instantly converted to a left with a crotch dribble!

Bryant twisted his center of gravity and forced himself to follow Hardaway's rhythm.

Not yet! Hardaway followed closely in front of a body in disguise, breaking through on the right!

Bryant reversed his position again, but was pushed away by Hardaway's ball protector.

Hardaway took a big stride, and his slender legs created a lot of space for him to reach the middle distance and shoot!

Bryant struggled to keep up, but his defense didn't bother the pennies who jumped high.

Hit the shot!

Kobe Bryant smiled slightly, which was a little interesting.
