The first game is finally over, and the 76ers can rest well, after all, they have already won one game.

That's how the 76ers started to slack off a bit. The foreshadowing was laid for their defeat in their next match.

"Babble! With a loud bang, O'Neal shook off Rashid and Big Ben next to him and dunked the ball directly into the basket.

In the second game of the finals, O'Neal was very unhappy with the loss in the last game, especially the two people on the inside. So in this game, O'Neal, who usually only plays with eight points of strength, used ten points this time, which made Big Ben quite uncomfortable. The current Big Ben is not the player who can completely dominate the interior in the future, and Rashid has proven when he was with the Trail Blazers that he has the ability to defend, but in the face of O'Neal, who has fully released his combat ability, Rashid's strength is still a little unable to keep up.

However, the two still limited O'Neal's scoring, if O'Neal wanted to score, 40 or 50 points would be absolutely no problem, and he would have to add more than a dozen or twenty rebounds, as well as more than 5 blocks. But O'Neal also knew the data of 35 points and 10 rebounds in this game, although it was very glamorous, but it was still a little insufficient for him to do his best. In this game, though, Bryant broke out.

After being stimulated by Luke, Allen, and Reed in the last game, Kobe Bryant exploded, scoring 30 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks. In this game, Reed's inexperienced disadvantage completely exploded, and Kobe Bryant came and went completely freely in front of him. How you want to pitch and how to enter. And when Luke came to defend, Kobe Bryant's scoring was not so easy, but it was even more unrealistic for him to defend Rick Fox, just when Luke was defending Kobe, Rick Fox scored three three-pointers in a row in front of Reed, which seriously hit the morale of the 76ers and forced Larry to replace him, and in the whole game, Reed played less than 17 minutes, which was quite dismal for a player who had entered the rotation.

But even O'Neill turned the tide on the inside. Larry still did not agree with the 76ers to use the "shark slashing tactic", and Larry still stubbornly implemented his bottom line. Didn't give up. And Larry also hid Dennis Rodman, so that although it was not easy, the Lakers still won the second game, and now the score is 1:1.

And now. The 76ers also ended their schedule in Los Angeles. I'm going to Philadelphia.

7 June 2001. The third game of the Finals, the venue of this Finals, was the home court of the Philadelphia 76ers. But there's one more thing. Because this day is a special day.

Aaron's birthday.

"Aaron. Happy birthday! Luke, who is a fan of Ai, thought about it first and congratulated.

"Thanks, Luke!" Aaron replied politely.

"Wow. Is it Aaron's birthday? How I didn't know! Reed on one side spoke.

"What you know, you know you play on your own!" Big Ben "mocked".

"What about you? I don't think you know! Reed shot back.

"I ...... Of course I do! Happy birthday to you, Aaron! Big Ben hurriedly said.

"Okay, Michael, you don't have to quarrel with Ben, we're all good brothers!" Aaron said.

"yes, Michael doesn't say a word, and so does Big Ben." Luke also stood up and said, "Since Aaron has a birthday today, then let's win this game to make Aaron's birthday present!" What do you think! ”

"That's a great idea!" Big Ben said.

"Yes, let's do it!" Reed agreed.

But Aaron looked a little opener, "It's okay, whether you win or lose this game, I'll treat you after that!" ”

"Good!"

Vojovia Arena, the home of the Philadelphia 76ers, has never been as good as the home of the NBA's devils, but it's not a good place for away teams either. Especially now Allen has captured the hearts of most fans, especially those in Philadelphia. Even fans from all over Pennsylvania came here to cheer on Allen and cheer on the 76ers.

"Welcome to our Philadelphia heroes! 1.83 meters tall, regular season MVP, leading the team to the finals - A-Lun Ai Ver Sen! "The DJ deliberately dragged the sound out.

"Wow!" The audience gave a standing ovation and welcomed Aaron into the arena. Like a king, Allen ran into the field, shook hands with all the players, and then stood at the far left end of the team. When the national anthem was played, everyone present lowered their heads and waited quietly.

After the national anthem was played, the game really began.

O'Neill is still on the inside against Big Ben plus Rashid. After the lesson of the last time, Big Ben seems to work harder, almost never leaving O'Neal, he will go wherever O'Neal goes, he will play when O'Neal plays, O'Neill will rest and he will rest, as long as O'Neal is on the field, then Big Ben will follow, use his own strength to resist, try not to let him score.

Due to Reed's poor performance in the last game, especially when defending, it was very difficult to deal with the swingman of the striker. Jones, Larry's alternative defensive gate, is on the court, although his defensive skills are not as strong as George Lynch, the No. 1 defensive gate prepared by Larry at the beginning, but his defense is still quite good, and a beautiful three-point and half-volley, as well as a good speed breakthrough are all scoring points, so as to share Allen's offensive tasks.

And Luke also incarnated as a super defensive player, and went up to defend Kobe, and Kobe Bryant is important. Compared to Reed, Luke is taller, although Kobe Bryant is said to have 1. 98 meters. But you have to know that Kobe Bryant was only 18 years old at that time, and now he is only 23, although he is not taller now, but he is more than 1.98 meters tall, about the same as Luke. The height of a complete small forward.

In Luke's view, Kobe is a copy of Joe Bryant, but now Kobe does not use technology as often as Joe Bryant, and more often than not, Kobe is playing by talent, breaking through, and jumping, which is completely based on physical fitness. Although Kobe's dream dance steps are swaying and relying on playing, coupled with the flip back jumper, it has begun to bear fruit, but it is still not as terrifying as later, and not to mention that Luke has studied under Joe Bryant for so long, that is, in his previous life, he has watched Kobe's video no less than 100 times, and he has not talked about the number of times he has practiced, just talk about Kobe's popularity in China.

How popular is Kobe Bryant? There has always been such a joke before, but I don't remember it too clearly, it was about how popular a Korean boy group was, and then Kobe Bryant laughed. Next is a picture of Kobe Bryant meeting Chinese fans in Shanghai. I only thought of one thing in that scene, and that was the scene when Chairman Mao met with Red Guards from all over the country on Tiananmen Square. It's enough to believe Kobe's popularity.

So many of Luke's friends, partners, and teammates around him watched Kobe Bryant's videos together, imitated Kobe's movements together, and also pulled Luke to practice together. I don't know how many times Luke's cap has been over.

Even if Luke is asked to close his eyes to defend Kobe Bryant now, Luke probably knows Kobe's movements.

Of course, Luke can't have his eyes completely closed, so he can't defend at all. However, the defense of Kobe Bryant is still relatively simple. Luke's game is playing as a feint,

Raid when Arun encounters a trap, and then pass the ball for Arun when Arun has a chance, creating opportunities for Arun even when Arun doesn't have a chance. In this game, Luke incarnated as an invisible man, a super assistant, allowing Aaron to attack and score, and others gradually understood what Luke meant, and like Luke, helped Aaron create opportunities, keep scoring, and brush data.

And Larry did not mean to replace Allen, and Allen almost did not end the game in the whole game.

The fans were even happier to see that Aaron was not on the field.

Allen didn't disappoint either, scoring 64 points in the game. Surpassed Jordan's playoff scoring record. A great gift for his birthday.

Luke finished the game with 17 points, including four three-pointers and, of course, 17 assists, most of which came from Allen.

When the game ended, the 76ers audience stood up and began to sing "Happybirthdaytoyou, Happybirthdaytoyou, Happybirthdaytoallen, Happybirthdaytoyou."

"Thank you! Thank you! Aaron said with tears in his eyes.

And so the game ended, and the 76ers won one more game. 2:1 for the time being. (To be continued......)
