Kobe Bryant is an unruly person, but he envies Suhi, and he envies all young people who can get core treatment when they enter the league.

Although during his upbringing, the Lakers also cultivated him carefully and made him the prince early.

However, his path forward is 'slow'. Until now, he has not become the absolute leader of the team, and he still lives under the pressure of Shaq O'Neal. No one would say that the Lakers are Kobe's team, at most they are OK team.

In fact, the vast majority of people decided that it was Shaq O'Neal's team.

This has become Kobe's inner demon.

Kobe Bryant was a man of arrogance.

"You've had very few challenges within the Pacers, and there's never been a leader like you who quickly became a championship team." After Bryant transferred with Arenas, he sighed to Suhi.

Arenas has been looking for Kobe Bryant to go head-to-head, and this guy is somewhat obsessed. Before Kobe Bryant's arrival, he proudly said in front of Suhi that he was the best scorer in the NBA.

But after Kobe Bryant came, he had already lost 7.

Kobe Bryant didn't really want to fight him, and said to him: "You don't want to see my taillights in terms of scoring for the rest of your life." ”

"And your skill is built on talent, and when you lose your talent, it's hard for you to eat in the NBA."

Kobe Bryant doesn't speak much.

After speaking, he also looked at Su Xi's face and made amends: "I'm not targeting you, what you represent is just a common phenomenon." ”

“……”

Su Xi was dumbfounded when she heard this, Kobe's emotional intelligence is indeed... Too direct and frank.

Arenas is not guilty of this.

Thanks to Arenas' strong heart, he was more energetic: "I will definitely stick to my own path, and I will beat you in my own way." ”

"Whatever." Kobe Bryant was reluctant to talk to Arenas.

Paranoid people usually don't like another paranoid, and Arenas is an outgoing paranoid.

In contrast, Bryant likes to chat with Suhi.

Suxi is quieter, understands him, and can give him a lot of emotional value.

"I feel like your offensive skills have reached the next level, and you're about to reach the next level."

Suhi said to Kobe: "In terms of pure offensive skills, I think you have the potential to be better than Jordan. After all, Jordan is physically stronger than you. You are a representative of hard work, you have brought out your talent to the extreme, and your technique has surpassed your own top talent. ”

Suhi speaks from the heart.

The whole world knows that sincerity is nirvana.

Kobe Bryant also talked a little deeper, and he sighed: "This is all practiced." Without actual combat and crazy shots, how can technology be successful? Jack, if you want to be a true superstar, you need to take at least 22 shots per game. ”

"Be brave and make bold moves, regardless of whether he can enter or not."

Kobe Bryant encouraged Suhi: "If you want to become a superstar, a historical superstar, this is an essential path. You're never going to be a superstar in history. ”

Su Xi nodded first.

Then he raised his eyelids: "No, Kobe." You're playing a heart-to-heart war with me, aren't you? ”

Hahahaha.

Kobe Bryant laughed heartily: "Didn't you play with me first?" ”

The two played tricks on each other.

Obviously it was a three-person training, and Arenas felt out of place: Is it because I endorsed Adidas?

…

On the night of June 6, 2004, basketball fans around the world were all focused on Consecco Arena in Indiana, where Pacers fans flocked from far and wide to fill the home court.

Before the game even started, it was already full of people.

Excited Indianas flew around the arena under a variety of banners, the most prominent of which read: 'It's Time'!

For Pacers fans, they've waited too long, and their desire for the first championship in history has skyrocketed.

Although they are facing the Lakers, who have at least three all-time superstars.

The players from both sides soon took the stage, and when Suhi and Reggie Miller came on, the cheers were loudest.

One of them represents the past and the other represents the future.

The starting lineup of the Pacers tonight is: Suhi, Artest, Reggie Miller, O'Neal Jr., Foster.

The Lakers' starting lineup is: Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Devin George, Karl Malone, Shaq O'Neal.

Karl Malone aside.

Sushi and the other Lakers players did not smell of gunpowder outside the game, and in the exchange of salutes before the start of the game, O'Neal also exaggerated Suhi a hug and said to him with a smile: "Jack, thank you for eliminating the Pistons." ”

"You're welcome."

Suxi also replied with a smile.

Backbite!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

Shaq O'Neal and Foster jump ball.

O'Neal managed to get the ball for the Lakers.

Gary Payton dribbled across half court.

Payton was Suhi's defensive teacher, and when he dribbled across half court, Suhi defended it, but Payton didn't fall in love and he passed to Karl Malone.

Karl Malone faced O'Neal Jr. at the free-throw line, and the big shark was in the paint zone to get into position, and he immediately passed into the box.

The big shark received the basketball, and Artest hurried over to attack, but the shark directly pushed Foster... Foster has defended himself very well.

However, in the face of absolute tonnage absolute power, he was knocked out of his defensive position.

Shaq O'Neal burst into the air with great explosiveness and coordination, smashing the basketball into the basket with one hand.

That's dominance.

When he's in the depths of the box to get the ball, one-on-one doesn't work.

This is also the result of the shark's weight gain, explosiveness and speed.

At his peak, even more violent.

Even more defenseless.

Foster is a good physical force in the center, but he still can't stand it.

TNT's camera caught Carlisle sighing at the bench.

It's an opponent that no manager wants to face.

Yibian fights again.

Gary Payton defends Suhi, and he wants to force Suhi to play positional attrition.

Suhey forced his defense back with a single acceleration... Suhi is not afraid of winding, first of all, he knows how to wind, and secondly, his explosiveness and speed are not what Gary Payton can resist now.

However, after Suhi took a step inside, he quickly passed the basketball to O'Neal Jr., who was pulled to the free throw line.

Then, he quickly ran to the baseline, and Reggie Miller crossed him to cover the Lakers when they formed a change of defense. Suhi received a pass from O'Neal Jr. from outside the three-point line, and he quickly shot a shot... Devin George defended hard.

But it's a little bit off.

Swish!

Three-point hit.

As Suhi's off-ball movement and catch-and-shoot ability have improved dramatically, Carlisle has become more and more fond of making fuss from the outside.

Looking back, the Lakers still played O'Neal.

O'Neal catches the ball, develops, turns, and hits the ...... with a small hook Coherent.

The Lakers are very determined to play O'Neal at this point.

The Pacers, on the other hand, are constantly executing outside strategies.

The two sides go back and forth, alternately leading.

Suhi still only played 7 minutes in the first quarter, and he went to rest.

At this point, he still has some stamina.

The Lakers didn't consume Suhi's physical energy like the Pistons, they didn't have that defensive quality.

The quality of the Lakers' defense is lower than that of the Pistons.

They prefer to focus on the offensive end.

19：18。

When Suhi went off, the Pacers trailed by one point.

The game continues.

Kobe Bryant started to increase his shots after Suhey went off, but he didn't feel hot.

Iron strikes one after another.

Reggie Miller hit two three-pointers in a row to give the Pacers the lead.

The first quarter was played quickly.

The Lakers didn't crumble, and the Pacers didn't take the lead.

27：29。

The Pacers lead by 2 points.

"The Pacers continue their tenacity in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they're still playing at their pace. Jack's tactical role from beyond the three-point line is becoming more and more prominent. The Lakers also continued their usual style of play, exerting more power and crushing their opponents with absolute talent. ”

"These are two very different styles. The outcome is difficult to predict. But if the Lakers win, it is likely to be a big win. A win for the Pacers is likely to be a small margin advantage. ”

Charles Barkley was very focused on the analysis during the inter-segment timeout.

Kenny Smith said: "I think the Pacers are going to win big tonight. Suhey the sheep hasn't made a lot of effort yet. The Lakers' tactics are good to say are triangular offense, and bad to say are fighting separately. Although they found the third point outside of the OK combination, Karl Malone has never accomplished anything in the finals. ”

Moreover, the Lakers' rotation is too weak compared to the Pacers. The Pacers' roster depth is much higher than that of the Lakers. ”

Kenny Smith seems to be a different person, and he now praises the Pacers exclusively, with a focus on Suhey.

Although he knew very well in his heart that the reason why he said this was because he didn't like Su Xi and wanted to kill.

However, it has to be said that his analysis is 'very reasonable'.

And, right away.

The Lakers made substitutions in the second quarter, with O'Neal, Gary Payton and Devin George coming off for the break.

Replaced by Derek Fisher, Fox, Medvedenko.

Featuring Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone.

The Pacers have also made personnel changes, Tony Barty, Bender, O'Neal Jr., Artest, Kenny Anderson.

As soon as the game started, Kenny Anderson and Tony Barty played a pick-and-roll and assisted Su Bao to complete a mid-range jumper.

Then, Bender and Kenny Anderson suddenly caught Fisher in the arc, Fisher rushed out the ball, was cut off by O'Neal Jr., and Artest squeezed under the basket to make a foul.

Phil Jackson rushed to replace O'Neal.

Artest hit both free throws.

The Lakers re-played O'Neal to stabilize the morale of the army.

O'Neal's strength allowed the Lakers to gradually recover the score.

When the Lakers were about to complete the comeback, Suhi returned to the court.

In the first round of the game, Sushi held the ball into the paint zone, and he jumped up in the air to collide with O'Neal, and he was one of the few players who dared to challenge O'Neill head-on.

And, he withstood O'Neal's first wave of suppression and passed the basketball to Tony Barty in the back, who put the basketball in the hoop.

Although Suhi stumbled a little when he landed after being hit, it was not a big problem, and he pioneered a new style of play... It's dark under the lights.

O'Neill was a little depressed, and he asked Suhey, "You bumped into it just to pass the ball?" ”

"That's right." Su Xi replied as he should.

This left O'Neill depressed.

Even more depressing is... In the next round, Tony Barty began to foul, he first went around the front frantically, O'Neal finally got the basketball, and was about to go to the basket, he pulled it down.

Tony Barty is a tough guy with a strong body.

He is one of the few players who can pull O'Neill down.

O'Neal walked to the free-throw line and missed two free throws in a frustration.

Then on the defensive end, Sushi continued to attack the restricted area, still colliding with O'Neal, still passing, or handing it to Barty, who completed the layup again.

It's exactly the same as the last offense.

The difference is that O'Neill pushes harder.

Suxi landed a little staggered.

But he was happy that his super strength talent, which he hadn't let go of for a long time, was showing signs of breaking through under O'Neal's impact.

Sure enough, we still have to let O'Neill, who has natural divine powers, come.

In the next round, O'Neal singled again, he finally bypassed Tony Barty, turned and jumped, Suhi suddenly flew over from one side and pressed on his ball, O'Neal although he was born with divine power, still broke the basketball out of Suhey's grasp and threw the basketball out... But the throw was disorderly, and he didn't even touch the basket.

The basketball goes straight out of bounds.

If it was ten years later, it would have been a foul.

But the referee didn't move tonight and awarded the Pacers the ball directly.

O'Neill's breath was smoking.

He said cruelly to Su Xi: "Do you still dare to attack me?" ”

Su Xi couldn't ask for it.

Now the breakthrough of the strength talent is just around the corner, and this confrontation just now has brought him to a critical level.

The further the super talent goes, the harder it is to fuse.

The reward is so great, Suxi has no reason to refuse.

So, when Sushi held the ball again, he still broke through.

But on the way to his breakthrough, Kobe Bryant came over to attack, Suxi hurriedly passed the basketball to Atai, attracting Kobe's retreat, Atai passed the basketball again, Suhi received the basketball, filled up his strength, and stepped directly into O'Neal.

O'Neill was ready, he even let go of Tony Barty behind him, he had to give Su Xi, who had repeatedly broken ground on Tai Sui's head, a little color.

Burst!

The two bumped into each other.

O'Neill used all his strength, and he was going to sink Suhey directly.

O'Neal's tonnage plus strength, even if Suhi's current strength is rare among defenders, there is a sprint blessing.

But I still lost my center of gravity in an instant... But at the moment of losing her center of gravity, Suhi got the most joyful thing: super strength talent +1.

Suhi was about to pass the basketball to Tony Barty, but found that Karl Malone quickly filled in the past, as long as Suhi passed, it must be a steal.

Karl Malone has been lying in ambush on one side for a long time.

This is a trap designed by O'Neill and him, and they can't possibly make Suhi succeed three times in a row.

But... Bang!

Suhi smashed the basketball directly to the ground.

A figure galloped in, and O'Neal Jr. grabbed the basketball and cut directly into the gap between O'Neal and Karl Malone: smart was mistaken by cleverness.

They designed the trap, but the door was wide open.

Rumble!

O'Neal Jr. completes the dunk.

Suhi sat on the ground with a butt.

O'Neill's power lives up to its name.

However, the camera passed, and Suxi was full of smiles. He looked at Shaq O'Neill with a clear look in his eyes: I won again.
