Chapter 184: Kobe Bryant and Iverson
(Ask for subscription!!! )
"Lin, are you really not going to stop these two?"
When everyone on the court got off the court, only Iverson and Kobe Bryant were left on the court in the entire target center, and it was the first time in history that two high school students were head-to-head in front of so many media and fans around the world on the home court of an NBA team.
And when Lin Han walked off the court, Larry Bird on the side also looked at Lin Han with some curiosity and asked, with Larry Bird's IQ, how did he not know that Lin Han had been extremely resolute on this issue before in order to protect Iverson, Iverson's name He had also heard that last year in the national high school rankings in the United States today, this small man ranked in the top five in the United States with an average of 32 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists per game.
is indeed a genius, but a genius who has been in prison for half a year, although he doesn't want to admit it, but Larry Bird's idea is still the same as that of other American experts and media, that is, a young man who hasn't played for so long should really be useless, so although he has always been a little worried about Lin Han's selection of Iverson, he has always thought that Lin Han is to encourage Iverson, so he doesn't really resent Lin Han, even if it's him, If possible, I would actually like to encourage these young people who are somewhat depraved.
The key point is that if Kobe and Iverson really fight each other this time, if Iverson loses, Lin Han's efforts will be in vain, as far as Larry Bird is concerned, he doesn't think that Iverson is now Kobe's opponent, although he doesn't know what Kobe's specific strength is, but the two leading players who can beat the 76ers, even if these two are really a little underestimated and released, these two are both quasi-All-Star level players, and Kobe Bryant can beat a young man who will definitely not be so simple.
"Even if I want to stop it now, I can't stop it. I'm the same kind of person as these two guys now."
At that time, although Lin Han was angry with Kobe, after seeing Iverson agree to challenge, he really thought about forcibly taking Iverson away. But eventually, when he saw Iverson's equally persistent and determined eyes. Lin Han gave up this idea.
Because of this Iverson, he thought of himself when he led the team against the Rockets alone, and that kind of look made no one have any reason to let him give up his persistence.
At this time, Lin Han and Larry Bird can really only worry about Iverson, who is now weak, on the sidelines, and the other players on the sidelines, except for the players of the legendary team who did not coax for the sake of Iverson is his teammate, almost all the others coaxed, and at this time, looking at the group of reporters, players and fans around them. Bryant, who was dribbling at the top of the arc to attack Iverson, was extremely happy, and he finally waited for this opportunity.
"Hmph, coward, let me show you how much the gap between us really is!"
Kobe Bryant was really excited to look at Iverson, who was a head shorter than him, the most exciting period of his 16 years of life, in the team coached by his father, he became the core of the whole team, only 16 years old, the sophomore year of high school, he became the core of the team. And he has already made his mark in the whole of Philadelphia as a first-day talent, and then defeated his opponent with NBA quasi-All-Star level players, plus a lot of public opinion in the United States in recent times. Some have even begun to add to him the status of the future No. 1 high school student in the United States.
And if he wants to become the No. 1 high school student in the United States, or to prove that he has the strength of the No. 1 high school student in the United States, he needs a broader stage, for him, the 76ers are still too small, defeat Lin Han, defeat Jordan, that is the best proof!
Of course, now he also knows that if he wants to defeat Lin Han and Jordan, he needs to defeat the short man in front of him now. So when I think of this, I cheered on all the hecklers on the sidelines. Bryant started with the ball almost instantly.
"Coward, let me crush you!"
In the moment of Kobe's start. Iverson, who had already been ready, did not wait, although his defensive skills were indeed not very good, but with his height and degree, he was able to keep up with Kobe, but just when Iverson met Kobe and was about to paste Kobe, at this time, Iverson was extremely surprised that Kobe, who had just been added in a short instant, immediately made an emergency stop before he met Iverson, and then after throwing Iverson who continued to move forward because of inertia, the teenager from Philadelphia added another moment after the emergency stop, directly broke through Iverson, who was faster than him, and directly hit the basket and dunked!
And Iverson, who was broken through by Kobe Bryant at this time, stood behind Kobe Bryant with a look of horror at this time, this kid was able to make such a move just now?!
Not to mention Iverson's shock, even the reporters who coaxed Kobe Bryant and Larry Bird Hardaway on the sidelines were surprised, as for some other high school players such as Garnett and Carter and Raheem, it was already incredible at this time, especially Carter, who had a strong breakthrough ability, at this time it was even more unbelievable.
"Awesome, this kid is really powerful, at such a short distance, complete a plus, an emergency stop and then turn around and add again, and there is no jerky feeling, this kid is a character"
Larry Bird also said excitedly after a short period of distraction, Kobe's action is actually not difficult, most of the players, even some fans can make it, the key is in that kind of high, in such a short distance, it is too difficult to complete such an action, because this is too much to test a player's flexibility and balance and the combination of explosive power, no degree and explosive power can not get rid of, without strong flexibility and balance, it will definitely fall, just a move, Larry Bird can see a lot of things, even if you look at the NBA as a whole, there are not many that can do this, maybe among these rookie players on the floor, Lynham or Hardaway can do it.
After Kobe Bryant easily defeated Iverson with the first goal, almost everyone in the audience was stunned, only Lin Han shook his head helplessly at this time, others don't know Kobe, but he knows Kobe very well, although now his variation breakthrough is not as strong as the peak Kobe Bryant in the system. It's still a little jerky and not mellow enough, but there is already that prototype, so Lin Han is not surprised that Kobe can make such a move.
The only thing that surprised Lin Han was that Kobe Bryant was only 16 years old now. There is already such an ability, which is indeed very difficult. And the most difficult thing now is probably Iverson on the field.
Now in the cheers of reporters and fans in the audience, Kobe's fighting spirit is quite high, at least when he walked to the free throw line to defend Iverson, the teenager really didn't take Iverson seriously.
"I said, this time I will completely defeat you, hmph, dare to compete with me for a place!"
Although Kobe Bryant looks down on Kobe Bryant very much, he is a master in the heads-up world. When one-on-one with other people, Bryant's attention is extremely focused, so when he returns to his defensive position, he has already made a defensive stance.
And seeing that Kobe Bryant had already stood in a defensive position, and was still slowly dribbling just now, Iverson, who basically couldn't see any intentions, was the same as Kobe Bryant before, almost no preparation time, and he could directly add it from this extremely loose dribbling state!
And when he saw that Iverson was also able to complete the action he had just made, Kobe Bryant was also a little stunned, after all. Don't look at this dribble start, it seems very simple, but there are not many players who can really do it, and many players who break through need to prepare for it. You also need to find the rhythm of the dribble first, only those players who have almost an upside sense of the ball don't care about these at all, just like in music, musicians who don't have absolute pitch need to do very tedious tuning before playing, while musicians with absolute pitch don't need to go through that trouble at all.
So after seeing that Iverson was able to start directly without preparation, Carter on the sidelines looked shocked again, just Kobe Bryant has an absolute ball sense, even if Iverson actually has an absolute ball sense, when is the absolute ball sense so worthless?! To know. Carter himself has this kind of thing, although there are quite a few NBA players who have the talent of absolute ball sense. But there are definitely not many, and even less in high school basketball. At least among the players he came into contact with, even those level talents, such as last year's high school No. 1 player Jerry Starker House, did not have an absolute sense of the ball, so Carter has always been proud of this, and Carter's high school coach has always been proud of this, thinking that Carter is a genius among geniuses, others need to train for a very long time to maintain the ball sense, but he does not need so much training to be able to maintain his ball sense, and this is the so-called talent of a class genius.
Originally, Carter thought that he and his cousin Tracy Maddie were the only talented players in this age group to have such talent, but now it seems that he still underestimates the heroes of the world.
"What a strong guy!"
After Iverson's very sudden start without any preparation, Kobe Bryant was stunned for a while, and Garnett, who was extremely disdainful of Iverson, did not dare to underestimate his future teammate at this time, at least he knew that his teammate Ronnie Fields would never be able to do what Iverson did, at least not at this step.
And Kobe, who was a little stunned, thought that even if he was a little stunned just now, he would definitely keep up with Iverson with his talent, Iverson almost directly used his purity and explosiveness to leave Kobe behind directly, if Kobe Bryant showed his flexibility and balance in front of Iverson just now, then at this time Iverson showed in front of him the degree and explosiveness of the limit.
And now he is the same as Iverson just now, he can only look at it with a horrified face behind him, this coward who is despised by him not only has an absolute ball sense, but also has such an anti-heaven degree, although Kobe's degree and explosiveness are not his strongest, but it is definitely not weak, many people who are 1.8 meters or even 1.7 meters are not as fast as him, and Iverson can't even see the hope of chasing after he started without paying attention!
So when Iverson broke through Kobe Bryant and easily completed a layup, the reporters on the sidelines who were still booing Iverson and ridiculing Lin Han for choosing Iverson was an extremely embarrassing decision at this time all shut up in amazement.
"This ball sense, this kind of ball control, and a level genius with an absolute ball sense, Lin, it seems that your worries are superfluous, with such a talented player. Even if they don't have professional training and regular games for a long time, you don't have to worry about his ball sense."
Larry Bird said with a wry smile on his face after seeing Iverson easily defeat Kobe. Originally, he thought that Iverson was definitely not as good as Ronnie Fields, who was one of the three biggest dunks in high school basketball, and Ronnie Fields was also a talented player. According to Larry Bird's vision, the 1.88-meter-tall point guard is taller than the league's best bounce potato Webber in terms of jumping, Potato Webb is the league dunk king who can beat Dominic Wilkins, if it weren't for this guy's height is a hard injury, with his skills and bounce, he will definitely be a first-class figure in the league, and Ronnie Fields is a strengthened version of Potato Webb, even if he graduated from high school and entered the NBA, he is also a genius.
Although Larry Bird admires Garnett more than Ronnie Fields. But now it seems that Iverson's talent is still stronger than Fields, although both are talented, but there is also a difference between talent and talent, players with absolute ball sense, as long as they don't die early, basically there is no problem in becoming a star in the NBA, of course, being able to judge whether a player has an absolute sense of ball, this is also a very test of eyesight, after all, the gap between genius and genius is not big. Some players who don't have an absolute sense of the ball are often able to force a straight start in a low-intensity game without preparation, but this time, Larry Bird definitely won't think he's gone too far.
"It seems that this guy is after getting a stage where he can show his abilities. I'm afraid that it will really soar in the future."
After watching the extremely fierce fight with Kobe Bryant on the field, Iverson, who had come to a white-hot and almost indistinguishable victory, Larry Bird also nodded secretly and thought that he didn't expect to really choose a very good person.
Of course, at this time, Larry Bird had some appreciation for Lin Han's vision, but Lin Han couldn't be happy at this time, Kobe Bryant was a talented player Lin Han knew, and Ellie also sued him. But Iverson is actually too, and he is a talented player at almost the same level as Kobe. When did the talent become so worthless, and he himself has no talent now. Although he is now the No. 1 young talent in the NBA, Lin Han felt that his first-day talent was a little unworthy of his name after seeing Iverson and Kobe Bryant's heads-up.
Lin Han is now stimulated by Kobe and Iverson, and Kobe and Iverson on the court at this time did not think so much, in fact, to the extreme surprise of both of them, neither of them thought that their opponents were so strong.
Kobe didn't think about it, he thought Iverson was a waste, and Iverson didn't think about it, the reason why he didn't accept Kobe's challenge in the first place was indeed because his ball sense didn't find it at the time, but with his talent, after honing himself almost day and night with extreme hardship, in fact, his ball sense was found back two days ago, although he didn't reach his peak, but it wasn't bad, in his opinion, it was really not interesting to go head-to-head with a young man in high school, after all, he was several years older than Kobe, In his opinion, his strength to bully a young man doesn't seem to be very authentic, so he hasn't shown up.
And now, what Iverson didn't expect is that this young man's talent is no worse than his own, although his strength is not as good as his own, but because Kobe Bryant's height is much taller than him, and on the offensive end, he can't prevent Kobe, so this directly leads to the fact that the heads-up between the two is almost equal, of course, it is Iverson who is slightly ahead of him.
Because the two are now more and more focused, and the confrontation against strong teams is getting bigger and bigger, and the various heads-up moves of the two are becoming more and more complex and difficult, it is impossible for Iverson to use his degree and explosiveness to completely get rid of Kobe, and it is also impossible for Kobe to use his balance and flexibility to easily defeat Iverson, in this case, when watching two high school players make many actions on the court that NBA players may not be able to do, At this time, the group of reporters on the sidelines who originally wanted to instigate Kobe Bryant to defeat Iverson and humiliate Lin Han were all stunned and speechless at this time.
And Garnett, a senior high school player who was selected by USA Today as the future No. 1 high school student in the United States, was even more speechless at this time, he really didn't expect that he would be able to see two geniuses who were even more talented than his teammate Fields, and one of them was a Cun Zài whom he despised very much.
"This attack, I must score, this attack I must score!"
At this time, everyone in the target center was intoxicated with the heads-up between Kobe and Iverson, but Kobe, who had been slowly suppressed by Iverson on the court, was a little red-eyed. Originally, in order to defeat Iverson more openly, he has always sealed his strongest move, because when dealing with Iverson. It is extremely shameless to use this trick no matter how you look at it. Even if he defeated Iverson with this move, I am afraid that it will discredit his glorious record.
So in all the offenses before this heads-up, Kobe Bryant never used his strongest back-to-back jumper, and when he and Iverson's heads-up score became 8-1O, when he lost one more shot and was about to completely lose this heads-up, Kobe Bryant finally used his strongest trick.
When Bryant held the ball at the top of the arc, he almost half-turned and pushed Iverson sideways inside, almost giving up all the skills and physical talents he had used before. When he simply and rudely used his height and strength to attack Iverson, the group of stunned reporters on the sidelines at this time already had an extremely bad premonition when they looked at Kobe's movements, because Kobe's actions at this time were too familiar.
Not only are these reporters familiar, but even Iverson, who is opposite Kobe, is extremely familiar, and he has seen on television more than once that the person he greatly respects has used this trick.
And just when Iverson was slightly pushed by Kobe Bryant and retreated behind the free throw line, and Kobe Bryant came to the free throw line, just like Iverson had a hunch, Kobe barely hesitated after coming to his own range, and jumped directly in front of Iverson. Then, after completing the turn, Bryant threw the ball almost in the air in a very picturesque position.
And when the ball thrown by Kobe Bryant almost drilled into the Nets in a perfect parabola, everyone on the sidelines fell silent, and after a brief silence. Whether it was the fans on the scene, or reporters from all over the world, or the players of the legendary team and the challenger team on the sidelines, almost all of them looked at Lin Han at this time, and the doubts and puzzles in the eyes of these people were just like when Lin Han used this trick, everyone thought of whether Lin Han and Jordan were related.
Even if Lin Han's move is very similar to Jordan, but there is still a difference with Jordan, then when Kobe Bryant uses this move, it is no longer a matter of difference, it is exactly the same!
9 to 1o!
When Kobe Bryant scored a point with the strongest trick sealed by himself, everyone looked at Lin Han, and they were very puzzled about the relationship between Lin Han and Kobe, because no matter how similar one person's imitation of another person's actions is, it is impossible to reach the exact same point. Therefore, at this time, even Iverson was a little confused. Many of his movements have also been learned from Lin Han, such as the straight line breakthrough with and the increase crushing. But no matter how much he imitated it, he couldn't imitate Lin Han's momentum.
And Kobe, this offense, whether it is posture or action or even temperament, is almost exactly the same, this is really not something that can be imitated by imitation.
"Lin, what is your relationship with that arrogant boy?"
Looking at Lin Han with a wry smile on his face, Larry Bird was also puzzled at this time.
"I said I had nothing to do with him, do you believe me?"
After Lin Han finished speaking helplessly, whether it was Larry Bird or the other players of the legendary team standing next to Lin Han, they all shook their heads, just like when he said that he had nothing to do with Jordan, and others didn't believe it.
"Originally, I didn't think of using this trick in this challenge, but you forced me, I admit that I underestimated your strength before, but in today's challenge, the winner must be me, and it can only be me!"
After Kobe Bryant's back-to-back jumper was successful, looking at Iverson in front of him with a somewhat stunned face, Kobe said proudly, this time he has to go all out, not only on the offensive end, but even on the defensive end, he needs to go all out, because Iverson scored one more goal, and he lost!
And he absolutely allowed himself to fail in this challenge, absolutely not!
When Kobe Bryant was ready to go all out without any spare hands, and was ready to use his better comprehensive body to suppress Iverson, it was very difficult for Iverson at this time, after all, the two are now technically better than Iverson, but they are not much stronger. And Kobe Bryant is ready to bully people with his body, and Iverson's difficulty comes.
At least in the eyes of many, when Bryant threw in a Limham-style turnaround and backward jumper. Iverson wants to beat Kobe Bryant, and it seems that it is a little difficult. Although Iverson was leading 1o-9 at this time, as long as he scored one more goal, he would have won.
It's just that scoring a goal in front of Kobe, who is almost preoccupied at this time, is definitely not that easy.
And even Iverson himself knows very well that although he has improved his body a lot and regained a lot of ball sense under more than ten days of almost inhuman crazy training, there is still a gap from his peak. At least there are some actions he can't do now.
Therefore, at this time, after Kobe Bryant stood in a fixed position, although Iverson could have attacked a long time ago, but at this time Iverson was still dribbling in place, and there was still no intention of starting, and everyone on the sidelines was also staring at Iverson at this time, not knowing what tricks this little man was going to come up with to deal with, at this time Kobe Bryant who had adjusted himself to the strongest state.
And just when everyone was a little confused, Iverson, who was still not moving, suddenly gritted his teeth, and almost in everyone's surprise, he was not ready to use his strong ball sense to start again. Kobe Bryant was no longer surprised at this time, he would no longer let Iverson pass by his side because of his underestimating enemy, even if Iverson was a butterfly. He also wants to be like a big net to lock Iverson firmly in the net!
So when he still firmly stood in his position under Iverson's two extremely high direction change feints in a row, and opened his hands with all his strength to almost cover Iverson, all the players on the sidelines were all in shock at this time.
For the fans, they saw Iverson's excellent direction change technology and Kobe's good defense, but for these rookie players, they saw more than that, Iverson's continuous change of direction just now, even they had no way to guarantee that they would not be fooled, and at this time, Kobe, who was engrossed in his attention, was able to completely stand in his position. It's nothing short of a miracle.
"Very good defensive awareness and technique, this kid has a great future!"
At this time, even Larry Bird was stunned. And just when everyone was amazed by Kobe's extremely defensive awareness and defensive skills, Iverson, who was originally trapped by Kobe, was like a butterfly through the flowers. turned around in front of Kobe, and the basketball in his hand almost disappeared directly in front of Kobe, and when this scene was staged in front of everyone in the target center, Larry Bird, who was still cheering for Kobe's strong defensive awareness, was completely stunned and speechless at this time.
As for the other rookie players who have almost the same expressions as Larry Bird at this time, even Lin Han is the same.
And at this time, when Lin Han once again recalled what Ellie had told him about several purple-gold direction change skills, one of which was a small man of 1.83 meters, and then when he saw Iverson crossing Kobe Bryant like a butterfly at this time, he instantly understood something.
disappeared, Kobe Bryant watched Iverson disappear in front of him, but he couldn't take a step at all, when he looked back with some trembling all over his body, at this time Iverson was already going to the basket directly after crossing him, and when Iverson scored a layup, the heads-up score between the two sides became 9-11, at this time Kobe Bryant already knew very well that this time the heads-up, he lost.
And when Iverson finished the layup, those who were waiting to see Iverson and Lin Han's jokes all looked at Iverson from the basket to Lin Han on the sidelines with an unbelievable face, and when Iverson came to Lin Han, he forgot about Lin Han under everyone's eyes.
"Lin, thank you"
And at this time, Kobe Bryant, who was standing alone on the court, was a little dazed at this time, since his debut, he encountered such a setback for the first time, and was defeated by a player who he considered to be a waste, although he was a little light in this heads-up, some hidden strength, but from the point of view of Iverson's last attack that terrifying change of direction breakthrough, Iverson also did not go all out.
Looking at Iverson who thanked him in front of him, Lin Han was also a little surprised, he didn't choose Iverson in for his thanks, but judging from Iverson's appearance now, it seems to be a little different from the Iverson that Alex said.
"You don't have to thank me, I think the person you should thank the most is your mother, no matter what happened before, no matter what will happen in the future, don't make your family sad"
Lin Han said with a smile after patting Iverson on the shoulder, and after Lin Han finished speaking, hearing Lin Han's words, Iverson really regretted it at this time, he had also said that he would protect his family, and in the end everything he did was hurting his family, and now Lin Han gave him a chance to regret it, compared to when he was younger, he knew more about what he had done.
"What a wonderful coach, Anferne, I didn't expect that the current high school students have such a strong strength, it's incredible"
At this time, after the heads-up between Kobe and Iverson ended, Iverson was thanking Lin Han, and Kobe Bryant left the court with some loss, and the players of the challenge team such as Chris Webber and Hardaway were a little shocked when they looked at the back of Kobe Bryant's departure at this time.
Such a level of heads-up is not just a high-school student-level heads-up, and even among NBA-level players, it is already considered a very good level, I thought that last year's first high school student Jerry Starkerhouse was the peak of high school students, but now it seems that this Iverson is no worse than Jerry Stark House at that time, and Kobe's potential even looks even more terrifying.
"However, although Iverson is really good at heads-up, we do look away, and Lin Han's selection is also good, but this time the All-Star rookie game, we still won, although the players of the Legend team have very good individual ability, but their most fatal problem is that there is no player who can pass the ball."
"Hahaha, George is right, Mashburn, Linhan and even Allan are very good, but they don't have a team of people who can organize the attack, do they have to hand over the ball to Van Axel to organize? Or is it to give the ball to this high school student named Iverson? Hahahaha"
Although Iverson's performance surprised the players of the Challenger team, this time the coaches of the challenger team and the legendary team are not only competing for individual ability, but in terms of personal ability, no one in the challenger team is Lin Han's opponent except Hardaway, but the integrity of the challenger team is not comparable to the legendary team.
With Lin Han's ability and the staffing of the legendary team, there is a reason why most people are more optimistic about the challenger team before this game.
Because as the leader of the team, Lin Han has no passing ability, and the Legends team does not have a Stockton to help Lin Han, so Lin Han can watch his teammates fight alone in addition to being alone.
"Alright, let's start training, our goal in this game is to win, the perfect win!"
After Iverson and Kobe Bryant finished the heads-up, Barkley shouted at his players with excitement after a faint glance at Lin Han not far away.
Although it was a pity that he couldn't play in the All-Star this year, it was still very cool for him to defeat Lin Han, who was in the rising prestige of the All-Star Game.
"Boy, it's just getting started!" (To be continued)
