The Lakers defeated defending champion Houston Rockets 105-104 and ended the Rockets' 12-game winning streak that they had not lost since the start of the season, handing them their first loss of the season. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"We played a little bit sloppy, we ignored the power of Tony and his Lakers and they caused us quite a bit of trouble and we lost as a result." Olajuwon looked frustrated at the press conference, in fact, he played 24 points and 10 rebounds in this game, and his performance was not bad, but in the end, he missed Tony in a row, causing Tony to hit two three-pointers in a row to complete the kill, and he naturally became the team's sinner.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, because so far, Tony has not shown his three-point shooting ability, so Olajuwon was caught off guard this time.

The 12-game winning streak was ended, and the Rockets had disappointed expressions on their faces from the coach to the players, and they never dreamed that they would capsize in the Lakers gutter.

On the other side, the Lakers' press conference was much more relaxed and happy.

"I used to practice three-point shooting when I was fighting with Kobe." Talking about the two three-pointers that saved the team tonight, Tony said with a smile, "I wasn't too sure I would score, but they did, maybe God took over the game tonight." ”

As for his performance in this game, Tony was deliberately stunned for a moment, "What? I got 26+14? How did I not know? I thought I only scored 6 points. ”

"Tony, this guy, he's always going to surprise us." Jones smiled, but thankfully Tony completed the stunner, so that his career high of 38 points did not become a milestone. "I can't wait to kiss him the face."

.......

The win over the Rockets made the Lakers look very easy for the whole team, and although they have another back-to-back away from home, the good news is that Fisher and Kobe Bryant's injuries are almost better. They will play in the next game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Speaking of the Philadelphia 76ers, Tony also remembered that he hadn't been home for a long time. Despite the tight schedule, he decided to visit his parents.

After being away from home for so long, Tony also missed his parents a little, and came to Philadelphia, Tony and Kobe Bryant each prepared a gift for their parents, these two have big contracts in their bodies, so they will naturally not be stingy with their parents. Of course, they didn't stay long before they had to report to the team.

For Bryant, this game has some special significance.

He is a Philadelphia, a true son of Philadelphia, but his hometown team did not choose him, but chose a small 183cm point guard, which made him very unconvinced.

He desperately wants to get revenge on the 76ers, and he wants to prove that he is stronger than that Iverson, and that it was a bad decision for the 76ers not to choose him. So even during the truce, he still tortured himself like a pervert. He's been preparing for this must-have match.

Even in training, Tony could still feel the endless anger in Kobe's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for the 76ers.

He didn't know if the little man named Allen Iverson was really better than Kobe, so much so that the 76ers gave up Kobe to choose him. But he and Kobe Bryant have been together all these years, which has given him a blind trust in Kobe.

Because in his cognition, there is never anything that Kobe Bryant can't do, even in the NBA, the highest temple of world basketball, Kobe Bryant is still unstoppable.

When Tony saw Kobe's eyes, he understood that the next game would be a Kobe Bryant's solo show.

......

Sure enough, as soon as the game began, Kobe Bryant showed an unparalleled desire to attack.

As soon as he received the ball, he went straight to Stackhouse, who was defending him, and then made a pull-up jumper. After hitting the shot, Kobe Bryant glanced at Allen Iverson, and the provocation was unmistakable.

As if sensing Kobe's aggressive eyes, Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant glanced at each other.

He didn't understand, he didn't know this guy, but he seemed to regard himself as an enemy, but Allen didn't care, in this league, there was only one opponent in his eyes, and that was Jordan.

His agile figure is like a ghost, flickering left and right, making people unpredictable. Fisher struggled to get up to the task, but he could only find himself and the other party's insurmountable chasm.

Iverson made a super big change of direction, Fisher wanted to defend but found that he couldn't keep up with his speed at all, but he still tried to go forward to defend, but the next second Iverson pulled back to the other side, Fisher's center of gravity was unstable, and he tripped himself.

Watching Iverson float away after an easy shot on his head, the corners of his mouth were a little bitter.

A palm reached out in front of him, it was Kobe.

"I'll defend him." Bryant pulled Fisher up from the ground and said lightly.

Seeing the vigorous fighting spirit in Kobe's eyes, Fisher nodded silently.

With Harris's acquiescence, Bryant completely took over the ball, and he seemed to return to the days of high school when he dominated the game on his own.

Unlike Iverson's agility, Kobe Bryant's movements are more chic, and he seems to be able to complete every shot with ease.

Step-back jumper, stop-back jumper, pull-up layup in the air, turnover jumper in the bottom corner, lick the basket with another hand, turn around with your back to break through the dunk...... He showed all his weapons to the world one by one, and he could do anything.

For a while, Iverson's eyes were a little confused, as if the guy who scored fancy points in front of his eyes coincided with the figure of the god in the East, one would be Kobe, and the other would be Jordan.

Such an opponent can be called an opponent.

Iverson smiled happily, this was called the golden one, but he was dismissive, Marbury? Ray Allen? Walker? No, no, no, none of them deserve to be their own competitors.

Their pattern is too small.

But this explosive-headed boy wearing No. 8 is constantly provoking the belligerent nerves in Aaron's heart, and he seems to be able to do everything.

Such an opponent is called an opponent!

Allen Iverson officially accepted Kobe's challenge.

Like two ancient knights, they showed their swords to each other and began a duel in the most ancient way.

And their teammates also chose to cooperate with the times, leaving the battlefield to the two of them.

........

Throughout the game, Bryant hit 13 of 27 shots and scored 35 points, and Iverson hit 12 of 28 shots and scored 31 points.

The Lakers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 100-91 to make it three wins in a row, and Kobe Bryant also won the matchup as he wished, and he successfully completed his revenge.

Listening to the boos from the Philadelphia fans in the stadium, Kobe Bryant opened his arms and closed his eyes in enjoyment.
