The Hornets' video editing room.

"This is Kobe's video composite video, which has some of Kobe's habitual positioning, shooting, running without the ball and other technical characteristics, I believe this will be useful to you in tomorrow's game."

Bruce Bowen turned on the monitor, plugged the USB drive into the interface, and turned on the video, in the picture, Kobe Bryant faced Sean Battier's defense, continued to test the step, and then suddenly accelerated to the right to break through, just at the moment when Battier started, Kobe suddenly braked sharply, turned his back to try, and turned forward and backward to score a jump shot!

The whole singles process is smooth, but Kobe Bryant's strong offensive ability can be seen in the easy freehand, Kobe can freely disassemble and combine various offensive techniques, and then splice them together without the slightest trace of stiffness.

In the next picture, Kobe Bryant was hit by Pistons players Prince and Hamilton outside the left three-point line, Kobe did not choose to pass, but dribbled to find a breakthrough point, Prince was on the front, Hamilton was on the right, Kobe rushed out of the left side of the dribble, Rasheed Wallace hurriedly made up for the defense, the stubborn Kobe still did not pass, a back turned to make Wallace who rushed up quickly, and then turned around and then stepped back and scored a backward jumper!

As soon as the picture turned, Kobe Bryant turned out to be Bruce Bowen's single defense, outside the video, Bowen wore this black-framed glasses, at first glance he looked like a cultural person, and when he saw the monitor broadcast the showdown between Kobe and himself, Bowen coughed twice in embarrassment, and quickly turned off the monitor.

"Ahem, let's not look at the next one......"

Zhao Qiang had a cold face, he twisted his head to the empty basketball hall outside the window, was silent for a long time, and said lightly,

"Third uncle, I just want to know, Kobe...... Bryant...... What kind of person is Kobe. ”

Uncle Bao was a little stunned when he asked this question, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer Zhaoqiang, and a thought suddenly flashed in Bowen's heart, that is, before he retired, he had fought with Kobe Bryant countless times, but when someone asked what kind of person Kobe was, what kind of words should he use to describe Kobe? Sometimes good and sometimes bad, is it depreciating or praising it?

"Kobe Bryant...... Kobe, Kobe Bryant is a very good and strong person, or a person with a very strong desire to win," Bowen licked his lips, thought for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Qiang, who was looking at him with an extremely complicated look, and said,

"There is no doubt that Kobe Bryant is the strongest player of this era, he has extremely strong and well-rounded offensive and defensive skills, he has won many scoring titles, ...... Two or three times...... He has been selected as an All-Star more than a dozen times and has been named to the league's All-Star team almost every year...... Grace ......"

"I don't want to hear this," Zhao Qiang unexpectedly interrupted Bowen's words, "I've heard these things countless times, Third Uncle, you used to compete with him, I want to hear something different from your mouth." ”

"Something different?" Bowen's eyebrows furrowed, and his brain began to think slowly, silent, time seemed to freeze at this moment, Bowen was thinking, Zhaoqiang was also thinking,

"What is really strong about Kobe Bryant is not in his impeccable technique, but in his heart, in his spirit!"

"Spirit?" Zhao Qiang frowned slightly and looked at Bowen.

"Kobe Bryant is very strict with himself, and his goals are also very high, he is always working hard for one thing, that is, to win, he can do anything, so his teammates around Kobe Bryant never dare to slack off, because Kobe is like a whip, whipping their butts, which prompts them to constantly improve themselves, this is one of Kobe's spirits."

"One of them? What about the second one? ”

"Kobe Bryant is born with a sense of arrogance, on the court, unless it's an old friend like Tracy McGrady or Caron Butler, no matter anyone else stands on the court, he won't take the initiative to greet you, he will laugh at you in various ways, ridicule you, hit you psychologically, just because you didn't make a shot, I want to say that this you, on behalf of, not only the opponent, but also teammates."

"What? Teammate? Why? Why is he like this, the good leaders of the older generation have the responsibility and obligation to develop new players. ”

"Because he looks down on you!" Bowen said categorically, "In front of him, you are too weak, the NBA is a world of the jungle, Kobe has always believed in the respect of the strong, in his eyes, he does not allow himself to be a weakling, of course, he will not sympathize with the weak, this is Kobe's thinking, this is Kobe." ”

"Kobe Bryant...... Kobe Bryant......" Zhao Qiang's mouth muttered, and suddenly, his gaze became very firm, and Zhao Qiang said word by word, - "What about Kobe, my goal is to become the strongest person in the league, and Kobe Bryant is the one I must defeat!" ”

"NO, NO, NO, NO," he shook his head vigorously, and said with a slightly wry smile, "Your defense can make Kobe Bryant only score 10 points in a game, or 8 points, but so what, what you beat is only Kobe's technique, not Kobe'......s spirit, Kobe Bryant's person, will never admit defeat, even if you beat him a thousand times, he will still stand up for the thousandth and first time!" ”

Zhao Qiang's gaze began to become solemn, he put away his scattered gaze, looked at Bowen intently, and said, "Then, you have to tell me how to defeat Kobe Bryant completely!" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question," Bowen looked at Zhaoqiang's serious gaze, his thoughts began to become solemn, he thought for a while before he said slowly,

"In this world, in the field of basketball, I'm afraid no one knows how to beat Kobe, Jordan may be able to, but unfortunately, Jordan is already in the past, the current era is the era of Kobe, who can beat Kobe, the former O'Neal can't, Duncan can't, the same generation of Iverson can't, Nowitzki can't, Maddie, Carter can't, the new generation of James, Anthony, Wade can't, I think about the question of "who can beat Kobe", no one can answer you, But I can show you the way. ”

"Road? What way? How about beating Kobe Bryant's way? ”

"No, no, no, if you want to beat Kobe, you must first get Kobe's respect, and the only way to get respect in front of Kobe is to make yourself stronger, so strong that Kobe Bryant will look sideways at you, so that he will not dare to underestimate you and despise you."

Bowen pressed his hand on the case of the VCR, looked out the window at the empty arena, and said,

"If you want to get a way to defeat Kobe, you must first get Kobe's respect, you have to understand, trillion, the weak, in front of Kobe Bryant, you can't get respect."

……

"Toot toot!"

The referee signaled that the third quarter of the game was over, Zhaoqiang violently pulled off the towel covering his head, tried to withdraw his thoughts from his body, and then stood up, from the end of the bench, step by step to the position of head coach Monty Williams, the stubborn to stubborn temperament of Zhaoqiang made the Brightins, Thorton, Sangeira, Ariza, and even the well-informed Paul and West all look sideways, that is a temperament that will never admit defeat!

"Coach, I'm going to play!"

Zhao Qiang said word by word,

"I'm going to play, and then I'm going to beat Kobe Bryant!"

Monty Williams looked at Zhaoqiang with a look of amazement, and couldn't say a word for a while!

"Coach! I'm going to play! Now is the time! ”

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the opening lineup of the Hornets was Thorton, Iverson (No. 2), Brightins (No. 4), Okafor (No. 5), and the No. 3 position, the small forward position, is Zhaoqiang!

"Boy, you're here again!" Kobe Bryant's contemptuous words made Zhao Qiang feel very uncomfortable, and Zhao Qiang shot back,

"Yes, I'm here again, I haven't defeated you yet, how can I leave alone!"

Hearing such a murderous sentence, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but look sideways!

"There are so many people in this league who want to beat me, but most of them can't do it, and I wonder where you got your confidence when you say you're going to beat me."

Kobe Bryant's eyes looked at Zhaoqiang, and the expression on his face became solemn.

Zhao Qiang walked to the sidelines, steadied his horse, spread his hands, and said with a firm gaze,

"Then I want to ask you, when you singled out Jordan, where did you have confidence in your heart at that time!"

Kobe Bryant was speechless when he asked a sentence, his thoughts were like smoke, and some pictures of the year slowly emerged in Kobe's mind.

It was the All-Star Game in 1998, when Kobe Bryant, who was only a 19-year-old and just a sophomore rookie, held the ball at the top of the arc and wanted to single-handedly challenge Michael Jordan, the god of basketball.

"Put away your damn block, I'm going to go head-to-head with Jordan!"

Although more than ten years have passed, when Kobe Bryant recalled this incident and recalled the words he said back then, he could still imagine in his mind how confident he was on his face at that time. The Chinese with yellow skin and tattoos all over his body became himself back then.

"Alright then, boy," Kobe Bryant's face no longer relaxed, and he said to Zhaoqiang

"Boy, I'll make you pay for that!"

Zhao Qiang clenched his fists and confronted Kobe Bryant with his eyes, facing Kobe Bryant with a powerful aura, Zhao Qiang was not afraid at all, he said word by word,

"Kobe, I need your respect for me, so! Please do your best to up! That's the greatest respect for me! ”

"Roar!"

The 20,000 fans at the Staples Center let out the loudest cheers, the sound was earth-shattering, the game has reached its best, the fourth quarter of the game is about to begin, the Hornets are 88:98 behind by 10 points, will they win the final victory? What kind of sparks will Zhaoqiang and Kobe collide again! Let's wait and see!
