The showdown between Shay and Kobe Bryant looks like a continuation of the showdown with Jordan in the eyes of fans.

After all, Jordan in this history has only three crowns, and it is also a maximum of two consecutive championships, which is far less magical than in the original history.

In terms of the number of championships and the number of consecutive championships, Kobe Bryant has been on par with Jordan.

Even the timing of the championship is very similar, Jordan was two consecutive championships in the early 90s and one in the mid-to-late 90s.

Bryant was a two-time champion in the early 00s and a mid-to-late one.

Although in terms of personal honors, Kobe Bryant is far inferior to Jordan.

But Kobe Bryant's terrifying scoring performance in the team in those years was very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

9 consecutive 40+ games, 4 consecutive 50+ games, and the earth-shattering 81-point single dragon slaying battle.

This series of inexplicable performances has skyrocketed Kobe's popularity, making people ignore his lack of personal honor.

Therefore, the current Kobe Bryant has been treated as the Jordan of the 21st century.

Therefore, the whole world is discussing whether Jordan in the 21st century can do what Jordan failed to do in the 90s - defeat Shay!

Although this is already a 38-year-old Shay, it is Shay after all.

No one will dislike the 38-year-old goddess, and no one will dislike the 38-year-old basketball god. As long as I have the opportunity, I still want to go!

If Kobe Bryant can defeat Shay in such an important game as the Christmas War, public opinion will undoubtedly push him to become the first person in the league at this stage!

Don't ask why Dumb won Shay in the playoffs last season, he wasn't called the first person, it's too low-key to ask.

There is such a thing as alliance status, and everyone generally can't remember him.

It's like in history, it's easy to forget that he twice defeated the Goat in the Grand Finals.

Facts aside, isn't Duncan just a waste who hugs the admiral's thigh in the early stage, the demon knife and sports car thigh in the middle stage, and the kawaii thigh in the later stage.

Shay is also well aware that the media is frantically hyping his matchup with Kobe, so he must not lose this game. Another loss to Kobe Bryant was worse than last season's playoff loss to Duncan.

Moreover, Shay decided to continue to compete in the NBA because he was unhappy with the ending of the Olympics, and he was bound to get back the lost dignity and championship.

If you lose to Kobe Bryant again, doesn't that just set off Kobe's strength? Doesn't that just show that Kobe Bryant has completely overshadowed Shay in both FIBA and NBA?

So this Christmas battle is Shay's battle to gamble on his godhead.

Or take Kobe Bryant and prove that he is the strongest player in any era.

Or, it will completely become a stepping stone for Kobe Bryant to become a god!

Shay and Kobe Bryant will not let each other go easily on Christmas Day!

And on the Internet, more people want to see a miracle of a black python slaying a dragon.

Some have even compared Kobe to the earthly giant python Jörmungadri in Norse mythology, because in mythology he devoured Odin, the king of the gods.

Kobe Bryant's nickname happens to be the Snake, and Shay happens to be the god of basketball again. I have to say that this metaphor is quite vivid.

It seems that the tragedy of Ragnarok will really happen to Shay.

Shay has been a winner for far too long, and in the world of competitive sports, the one who wins too long will always be the enemy of the nation.

Although Shay lost in the playoffs for the third time in his career last season, the world knows that it was Shay who was still finding his form.

Watching such a Shay lose, the fans did not have the slightest sense of accomplishment and coolness.

But this year is different, Shay led his Lakers to become a Western powerhouse again.

Shay himself, also topped the MVP charts.

If Kobe Bryant can beat Shay like this, then fans can only say that this matter is really, Thai pants are spicy!

People don't want to see the same person winning all the time, they want to see someone take the scepter from Shay's hand.

Therefore, in addition to Lakers fans and Chinese fans on the Internet, almost everyone is looking forward to Kobe Bryant's ability to preach the gods!

In such an atmosphere, the whole of New York is extremely restless.

They lost humiliatingly to the Lakers twice in the Finals in the '90s, and were shaved once in '99, which has always been a pain in the hearts of New York fans.

And now, the opportunity for revenge has finally arrived.

Although Shay retired, the Knicks were the only team in the league to win back-to-back championships and won three championships in the 21st century.

Became the most valuable team in the league.

But these are not enough, only by tearing apart the Lakers and Shay with their own hands, the victory will be considered complete!

When Shay arrived in New York the day before the game, the team's bus passed outside Madison Square Garden.

Outside the arena, a huge poster stands out.

This poster is very simple, the overall background is pure black, and a few simple words are written in white letters on the black background:

"Ragnarok! History has changed! ”

Next to the word, there is a venomous snake with its mouth open and its fangs exposed.

Shay is convinced, the comments on the Internet, the Knicks' advertising and marketing department is really copied!

It's really a copy of Norse mythology, right?

Nix Advertising & Marketing Department: You know a hammer, this is called coincidence!

Shay smiled disdainfully, it's about to be 2009 A.D., and he still has the whole set of ghosts, snakes, and gods?

As a staunch materialist, Shay scoffs at such metaphors.

Earthly python? Chop off his head!

In order to prepare for the competition seriously, Shay even turned down several invitations from young models tonight.

No way, Shay is now somewhat famous in the fashion industry, and many Ono models are looking forward to taking the position by completing the link with Shay.

Although Shay adheres to the principle of never putting chicken essence in fried noodles, he has not overturned so far.

But this kind of thing, what if you win the lottery? In order to fight this probability, there are still many girls who follow one after another.

In order to get NBA players, in order to get hush money or alimony, these women are doing everything.

Don't you see that in the future, in order to completely bind the fat tiger, a star directly tattooed Zion's name on her face.

Therefore, if someone is not familiar with the invitation, Xie Yin would rather not stack this layer of Buff.

Moreover, Shay really wasn't in that mood tonight.

At this time, he was only thinking about Kobe.

Absolutely, we must not let our historical status be ruined in the hands of Kobe!

The next night, Christmas Eve.

In the snow, the grievances of half a year ago continued again.

Kobe, the hero of the redemption team and the man who is considered the closest to Jordan, stands in front of Shay at this moment.

Fans in Madison Square Garden are booing Shay like crazy, and even though it's been years, the fans here are still very unfriendly to Shay.

Almost 10 years ago, New Yorkers failed to witness O'Neal and Bryant meeting to drag Shay to the throne.

But now, they have the most powerful Kobe Bryant!

Before the game, Kobe and Shay didn't even say a word, and they didn't politely hug or anything.

This surprised everyone.

After all, Kobe Bryant is the spokesperson of Shay's brand, and the relationship between the two is very good.

In the years when Shay retired, Kobe Bryant was often photographed eating and playing with Shay.

But now standing on the court, the two of them really seem to be enemies, completely ignoring each other.

Gasol is convinced, no wonder Shay has so many girlfriends.

You really play this trick of not recognizing people!

The two cores are so serious, and the other players of the two teams naturally don't dare to giggle.

The two teams started their own positions, and everyone was not smiling.

For the fans, today is Christmas.

But for Kobe Bryant and Shay, today is the day of destruction for each other!

On the Knicks' side, the starting lineup is Lao Yu, Kobe, Artay, Gasol and Bynum.

The Knicks in this history simply took the script of the Lakers in the original history.

And this history belongs to the plot of the Lakers. Will be written by Shay!

Kobe Bryant has been staring at Shay since he came on the court, but after kickoff, it was not Kobe who was responsible for defending Shay.

It's Kobe's unsmart version of Pippen, the league's only outside DPOY after Shay, Ron Bryant. I'm empty. Artest.

As soon as Atay came up, he directly started a fierce hand-to-hand fight with Shay, a crazy man with extremely high defensive enthusiasm.

It's the type of defender who is particularly aggressive.

People have once compared the difference between Shay and Atay, the two outside DPOYs.

When it comes to Shay's defense, most people would rate it as "perfect crime".

As for Atai's defense, people's evaluation is "violent and brutal robbery"!

From this, it is not difficult to see what kind of defensive style Artai is.

Atai's defense is very fond of physical confrontation, which truly explains what it means to fight with the ball.

No, Shay just ran to the right side of the court without the ball, and Atai was already chest to chest with Shay, face to face, arms intertwined with each other.

Shay pushed Atai away, but because Atai's strength did not suffer, he was not pushed too far away. So when Shay continued to run to the other side, Atai immediately followed, entangled him again.

And as soon as Shay stops, he will start to fight with Shay's muscles again, and Shay can't even catch the ball.

After all, it was the man who shot only 35% of the series from the field when he was a teenager, and after all, he was the man who made Pierce want to vomit.

Shay couldn't catch the ball, so Roy handed it to Randolph.

Randolph faced Gasol, leaned back twice, and then rolled over and made a jumper.

But in the next second, Randolph thought that someone had turned off the lights on the stadium, because it was pitch black in front of his eyes!

Gasol, who is 2.13 meters, and Bynum, who is 2.15 meters, both reached out to cover it, so that Randolph, who was only 2.06 meters in shoes, said Alexander.

The Knicks, the twin towers with a height of more than 2.10 meters on the inside, are quite explosive when you look at history.

Under this interference, which is like turning off the lights on the court, Randolph's best turnaround jumper also popped out of the frame.

Now in this league, there are only Da Yao who can deal with the Knicks' three highs.

All the other insiders, including the peak Howard, have to be beaten twice when they meet the Knicks.

Shay was locked up by Atay, and Randolph's inside attack was also limited.

The two offensive points that the Lakers rely on the most are in trouble at the beginning!

Bynum protected the rebound, and the Knicks counterattacked.

The Zen Master's team has always been slow at the tempo, preferring positional attacks.

And as soon as the Knicks' offensive position was laid out, Shay had the feeling of traveling back in time to more than a decade ago.

Triangle offense, again triangle offense.

It's no wonder that Li Nan will engage in horn diamonds in the future, and the Zen master has been engaged in triangular attacks for more than ten years.

Gasol responded in the high post, Artera in the corner, and Bryant roamed off the ball.

This is the standard triangle offensive routine.

But

The Knicks' offense didn't go well either, as Bryant was also in a tough battle and couldn't catch the ball.

From the first round, Shay went straight to defend him!

The Triangle Attack Zen Master used more than ten years, and Shay also fought with the bull throughout the 90s.

So, Shay knows as much about the triangle offense as he does about these Knicks players.

Triangle offense, to put it bluntly, is not to concede 1VN to stars, not to pursue 1V0, not to exclude 1V1.

Creating heads-up opportunities for stars and creating conditions for receiving and finishing is the ultimate goal of the triangle attack.

In that case, Shay let Kobe Bryant and himself 1V1!

You have the ability to beat me to death one-on-one!

Why was Shay able to take the bulls to the ground in the late 90s? Because Shay already has the ability to contain Jordan in 1v1.

When Jordan gets a 1v1 opportunity and a catch-and-shoot opportunity but still can't kill the game, the triangle offense is completely wasted!

Shay chased Kobe Bryant the whole time, and Kobe Bryant saw that he couldn't get rid of Shay, so he asked for the ball with his back in the low post on the right side, ready to play with his back to the single.

Kobe Bryant tried hard to jam Shay, and after receiving the ball, he shook his shoulder to the left, and then suddenly turned over to the right and made a jumper!

Kobe Bryant's back-to-body skills are really superb, but.

Shay still raised his arms and jumped up in time, and his whole hand was completely covered in front of the basketball!

Kobe's shoulder shake didn't confuse Shay at all, and Shay interfered with Kobe's shooting at the first time!

Bryant forced his back in the air, but even if he fell back, he still didn't have the angle to shoot.

There was no way, he had to adjust the shooting arc in the end to ensure that he was not blocked.

But in doing so, Kobe's shot smashed directly to the front of the basket.

In the first round, Shay's defense didn't let Kobe score either!

The Lakers gave the Knicks the 1v1 opportunity they dreamed of, but whether this 1v1 can be scored or not is not necessarily.

Shay put together a good defense and wanted to fight back and break the scoring drought.

But when Shay had just run to the other half and was about to attack, Atay came again!

He was the first to find Shay, and used his strong body to continue making contact.

Roy saw that he still couldn't give the ball to Shay safely, so he passed the ball to Elvis.

In charge of defending Elvis Presley, it was the Knicks' defensive iron gate, the first person to defend the "center of gravity and trouser leg" flow, Derek. Fisher.

Facing Elvis Presley, who was holding the ball outside the three-point line, Lao Yu lifted his trouser leg again. Although he didn't speak, he always felt like he was saying, "Today I want to see what you can do!" ”

However, Elvis did not get past the old fish in one step.

Because the old fish directly put Elvis Presley two steps, he bet that Elvis Presley was unstable for three points.

Elvis Presley did not directly pull out three points, but broke through directly.

The third position is the first position, no matter what, the advantage is mine!

The No. 1 position is against the No. 3 position, which is undoubtedly a pot of raw rice, which is difficult to swallow.

But Lao Yu is just a person who likes to eat raw rice!

You let the old fish defend the number one position, he is almost just a decoration, because the traverse speed is simply a crime.

But the old fish is strong, he can really carry people!

Even Ajan during the heat rush up and hit the old fish, which had to fall two heels.

So the Zen master asked Wallace to not change direction so quickly in defense and shoot so well, and he can really withstand it for you.

The moment Elvis rushed up and hit the old fish, he was forced to stop!

Wallace was a little surprised, is this bald donkey so fierce!?

Nonsense, just Fisher's negligible looks, this obscene temperament.

If he is not in good health, how can he pry other people's wives? The old fish wears a risk, just one trick - let Mrs. you get an experience that you have never had before~

Fisher was stunned to carry Wallace, and Elvis Presley was not the kind of person with particularly delicate skills.

The bankrupt version of Ajan is not called for nothing, he wants to dribble the ball, and he doesn't even know how many steps to take.

A cat can practice shooting is already considered a reward for hard work, if he can practice holding the ball again, then what does he need talent for?

In desperation, Ah Mao had to give up singles and start looking for teammates.

He glanced at Randolph on the inside, but between the big plus and the little shark, the big black bear even had a little birdie feeling.

Forget it, playing the inside line is looking for death, so thank the boss. Well? Where is my big brother?

At this time, Shay was hugging Atai around the three-point line.

Although there is no music, the waltz is still elegant.

Since Shay fell in love with a dancer, his hobbies of elegance have really increased.

Well, it's actually because Shay and Atay are wrestling wildly, but no one can get rid of each other, so a picture of hugging each other and going around in circles is formed.

Normally, this kind of defense is definitely a foul.

But Stern deliberately confessed today and let the referee play a little large-scale.

After all, who wants to watch a Christmas battle that has been interrupted by the whistle?

Therefore, the principle of today's referee is to blow less, blow well, and don't blow if you can.

Ah Cat people are stupid, eight people play basketball, two people play wrestling, each playing their own right?

In the end, Meow can only return the ball to Huang Mamba.

Roy looked at it and didn't have much time to attack, so he could only play alone.

So, the showdown between Yellow Mamba VS Black Mamba begins!

Although Kobe Bryant once boasted about Roy, saying that he was "the most difficult player to defend with no shortcomings", in fact, Roy has been embarrassed when he met Kobe so far in his career.

The most exaggerated time was that before Shay's comeback last season, Roy was beaten by Kobe Bryant with a score of 65-14!

Roy was 6-of-21 from the field and shot just 28.6 percent.

Bryant was 23-of-39 from the field and scored 65 points on nearly 60 percent shooting.

What Kobe really appreciates is Roy's ruthlessness as himself.

What slow mamba, red mamba, and mouth mamba are just ridicule.

Only the yellow mamba is really like Kobe.

But if you really want to talk about the level, Roy is just a poor man's version of Kobe.

So this ball, when Roy used the change of rhythm to shake Kobe Bryant's half of the body and then stopped for a jump shot, Kobe Bryant immediately reached out from the side to interfere with Roy's shot.

Roy's every move seemed to be expected by Kobe.

Basketball hit the iron again, and the Lakers missed two consecutive shots.

Dajia won the rebound, and then launched a long pass directly in the backcourt!

It turned out that the old fish had already run forward and was about to steal the house.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that Lao Yu is indeed a master of stealing houses, and you don't know when he sneaked attack!

Thanks to this history, Barnes will not necessarily come into contact with the old fish again, otherwise he will probably have to top the green grassland.

Dajia's long pass in the backfield is very accurate, and the long pass in the backfield is considered the basic skill of the top interior line in Europe.

So Lao Yu easily received the basketball, and ran towards the empty basket, and then jumped up to break the scoring drought with a civilian layup.

As a result, what greeted him in the next second was not the first goal of the game, but a shameful nail board!

The old fish turned his head, and it was Gerald who had already caught up. Wallace!

The bankrupt version of Ajan inherits Ajan's shortcomings and also inherits Ajan's strengths.

But when it comes to athleticism, Wallace is very good at it.

Meow may be one of the few outside lines that can knock O'Neal over.

With his speed and height, it's more than enough to chase an old fish!

In this way, after a few back and forth games, the score of the two sides was still .0-0!

The Lakers and the Knicks, two top defensive powerhouses, didn't give each other the slightest chance to score!

In the next few rounds, the two teams were still playing wildly.

Bryant singled out Shay, but was cut to the ball.

Shay broke through Atay and was teamed up by Gasol, who was assisting in the defense.

Bynum forced a strong inside line, and as a result, he hooked up three shots under the Birdman's tough defense.

Wallace made a three-point shot, but was interfered with by the old fish and struck the iron.

Both teams defended to the extreme, and the pitch was full of people on their backs, but they couldn't see a goal.

The gears rub against each other, making a terrifying sound of "zizz". Only by crushing each other can it run smoothly.

In the 10-year finals, Green Kai and the Lakers played 89-67 and 83-79 at every turn.

And today, the Lakers and Knicks are undoubtedly replicating that rhythm!

In this way, the first quarter of the game ended with 22 seconds left, and the score of the two sides was an exaggerated 17-14!

The Lakers are temporarily 3 points ahead of the Knicks!

The first quarter was almost over, 17-14.

From the score, it is not difficult to see what the first quarter of the game was like.

The triangle offense can't help Shay, who has super single defense ability, and Kobe Bryant struggled to play one-on-one today.

In the first quarter, he was stunned and only made 1 of 5 shots.

And the Lakers' positional version of Showtime is powerless in the face of the defense of the Knicks' championship twin towers. The inside line can't be played at all, and even if you cut in, you won't have a chance. Outside? Kobe Bryant and Arteko are also top outside gates.

The only one who is a little weaker is the ball style of Ke Meow.

Although Shay's shooting percentage is higher than Kobe's, his production is not high, and he only scored 6 points on 3-of-4 shooting.

Throughout the first quarter, the two teams played extremely hard.

At this time, watching the Lakers control the ball of the last attack, Kobe Bryant was extremely angry.

Although Shay didn't score much in the first quarter, it was better than his own 1-of-5!

At the beginning of the game, Shay defended 1 of 5, does Kobe Bryant not want to lose face?

So this time defensively, Kobe Bryant was quite focused.

He wants to wait for an opportunity to fight back!

Roy stalled outside the three-point line until there were eight seconds left in the first quarter, and then tried to pass the ball to Shay, who was pocketing out.

However, the eyes of the viper were already fixed on him.

The moment Roy passed the ball, Kobe Bryant was really like a poisonous snake, attacking quickly and reaching out to slap the ball that Roy had just passed!

Mamba bites Mamba, this wave is called black eating black!

The Knicks instantly got a chance to counterattack with a fast break, and Kobe Bryant picked up the basketball and rushed forward.

But Shay reacted faster, and he sprinted forward with all his might the moment Roy made a mistake, and quickly retreated.

At this point, Shay was right near the free-throw line, stepping back in small steps while adjusting the direction of the defense.

And Kobe, Atai and Lao Yu have also rushed forward, Shay is equivalent to a backcourt with one defense and three defenses, and there is no chance of winning at all!

If Kobe Bryant directly shoots a three-point shot, then Shay really can't prevent it. But there was no way, Shay could only shrink the frame now. After all, the Knicks are definitely still more willing to hit the ball under the basket on a fast break.

Bryant saw that Shay blocked his breakthrough route, so he passed the ball to Atay, who was following up in the middle.

Atai dribbled two steps into the penalty area with the ball, and Shay had to temporarily let Kobe Bryant block in front of Atai.

After seeing Shay's defensive position attracted to him, Artai took the opportunity to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant on the side!

At this point, Shay could no longer stand in the way of Kobe's breakthrough. As long as Kobe Bryant can receive the ball, he can easily hit the basket and score a layup.

Even if this goal is scored, Kobe's shooting rate is only 2 of 6 in a single quarter, but at least it is better than 1 of 5!

Kobe Bryant thought that his attack must have been done, and the next second.

At the moment of Atai's pass, Shay immediately fell sideways to the ground, straightened his arm, and was stunned to cut off this pass that couldn't be simpler! Although it is not the first time that Shay has shown this kind of goalkeeper saving steal on the court, this picture of one defense and three in the backcourt still makes Knicks fans gasp!

Mike. Brin was also shocked to the point that his scalp tingled:

"It's done, it's done! Shay defended three in the backcourt, and was stunned to prevent this fast attack, making the Knicks' almost 100% chance to become 0%!

Oh, my God! At the age of 38, he can still complete such an incredible steal!

The god of basketball can always do things that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve!

In the first quarter today, he was simply putting Kobe Bryant in jail!

In the first round, Shay won completely! ”

After Shay's steal, the first quarter of the game was just over.

The No. 23 of the Lakers roared excitedly and stood up from the ground, then grabbed the basketball with one hand and walked up to Kobe Bryant with a helpless face: "Today, don't try to take a point from me easily!" Now, God is angry! ”

Can Kobe Bryant not be helpless? This kind of great opportunity was so magically prevented by Shay.

It's a pervert!

After many years, Bryant finally felt God's wrath again.

In the end, Bryant still couldn't score the second athletic goal on Shay's head!

In this way, the score remained 17-14 until the end of the first quarter.

Kobe Bryant's embarrassment of 1 of 5 in the first quarter also remained until the end.

Although Shay only scored 6 points in the first quarter, on the defensive end, he has undoubtedly taught Kobe Bryant a lesson!

From this point of view, Shay suppressed Kobe Bryant in the first quarter and went down first!

In the face of Shay's provocation, Bryant did not speak. He just stared at Shay viciously, and after a few seconds, he pouted and turned and walked off the field.

Looking at Kobe's eyes after walking off the court, at that moment, the Zen master was in a trance, and he thought that it was the Chicago braised egg sitting in front of him.

The terrifying defense of the two teams in the first quarter made it clear to the old rivals Carlisle and Zen Master that this ball could not be played by relying on the system.

Next, there's only one way to do it – play the role of a star!

Only a superstar can solve this perfect defense.

Although Kobe Bryant was 1 of 5 in the first quarter, he was still playing according to tactics most of the time and failed to fully play his 1-on-1 ability.

Although Shay's defense was good in the first quarter, the one-defense three in the final moment was even more amazing. But on the offensive end, because he was still driving his teammates, he also didn't play his full strength.

And what Carlisle and Zen Master did with this timeout was to simplify the tactics, simplify the offense, and decide the winner. It's all over to Shay and Kobe!

Originally, both coaches wanted to save the power of taking over the game until the final quarter and then give it to the two stars.

But who would have thought that the defense of both teams would be dead as soon as they came up.

Now the battle between Jörmungård and Odin may have to be staged in advance!

Next, Shay and Bryant faced each other for three full quarters. Bryant had plenty of time to salvage the defeat.

Both the Zen master and Carlisle swallowed.

A three-section long standoff. God knows what an earth-shattering scene it will be!
