Chapter 92: [Do You Dare to Fight Me Alone]
Kwame Brown's sadness is like a fish against the current.
It's weak, but it's still strong.
Because he is not strong, Kobe Bryant will scold him and verbally violence him. Phil Jackson would also talk about him, saying that he wouldn't let his kids hold him.
Who is rare?
In Kwame Brown's heart, these top basketball players are dirty. Jordan destroyed him back then, Kobe Bryant didn't let him go, and so did Phil Jackson.
He thinks Sushi is not bad now, at least there have never been rumors of him abusing his teammates. All his teammates praised him and all the players who were with him played well.
Even Milicic has gone from being a parallel commodity to a legendary centre-forward.
Why didn't I meet Sushi the goat?
I also want to get rid of the hat of parallel import.
This hat is not what I wanted, it was given to me by Jordan.
If I hadn't been selected by the Wizards, I wouldn't have been the champion, I'd at least be a lottery, the money wouldn't have been much less, and the pressure wouldn't have been so great, maybe I could have really become famous!
Kwame Brown has a lot of mental activity, and he and Lamar Odom are both players with a lot of inner drama, so they often wander away.
Fortunately, the current Lakers have Yao Ming and Kobe, and it doesn't matter if they wander off occasionally.
Kobe Bryant singled Suhi, he showed peak offensive skills, Suhi's defense has been perfected, but Kobe still found space to shoot.
And he didn't attack, but passed the basketball to Yao Ming, who turned around and hit a hook shot.
This made Suxi very helpless.
He said to Kobe, "Is this necessary? You're passing the ball for the sake of passing. β
"Nope. I'm passing the ball to break you. Bryant said to Suhi, "I'm going to see how resilient your nerves are." β
Bryant said to Suhi, "Come and beat me, goat!" β
Suhi said to him: "I have never seen such a request. But I'm not going to satisfy you, I've already done it when I defeat you. Now, I'm going to destroy you. β
Suhi went to the front court to hold the ball, he quickly attacked the penalty area, and he didn't fight with Kobe.
Lamar Odom subconsciously came over to make up for it.
Sushi quickly passed the basketball out, Stephen Jackson received the basketball, and Kobe Bryant had already filled in the position... He anticipated Suhi's pass.
But it didn't work, he just made up for it.
Jackson passed the basketball to the corner.
Suhi had already run there, and Suhi made a move...... Swish!
Three-point hit.
Lamar Odom was like a headless fly after a pinch and he didn't fill in the position.
Odom has been described as an all-round player, saying he can play in all five positions.
But such praise often implies another fact: his sense of location is erratic, and his presence may be missing.
Bryant angrily reminded Odom to focus.
Odom nodded.
He promised he would do it.
The game continues.
Bryant was still singled out Suhi, and he then passed the ball again, and he passed to Odom, who went to the basket, and he didn't get a layup, but Kwame Brown pressed Randolph to make up for the basket.
There is still merit in Kwame Brown.
He's physically, he's defensive.
He can be a first-class blue-collar center if he wants to.
Zach Randolph was robbed of a frontcourt rebound and was upset.
Suhee passed the basketball to him in the next round, and he showed off his delicate pace and Kwame Brown was shaken away. Randolph jumper... Bang!
Didn't go in.
However, he quickly got to the basket and grabbed the rebound with the help of Milicic to add the basket to the basket.
The Lakers and Knicks have an advantage over each other.
The game was scorching.
At this time, the tone of CCTV's commentary was beaming.
For Americans, this is the top showdown between the two major cities of the East and West.
But for Chinese fans and Chinese ball commentators, this is a battle between the palms and the backs of the hand, whoever wins, and whoever wins is a great victory for Chinese basketball.
So, their tone was full of happiness and excitement.
"The Lakers are now focusing on Yao Ming, and the Knicks are now Suhi leading the team. This year's finals are a big show for our domestic fans. Whoever team wins, we're winners. Coach Zhang, who do you support? β
"I support Yao Ming, I think Da Yao should have a championship, he is a year ahead of Xiao Su in the NBA, and his draft pick is higher. If Da Yao gets a championship ring, we'll have three players with a championship ring. β
Director Zhang said.
The three he said, the other one is Battle who won the championship with the Spurs.
But now Battle doesn't play in the NBA anymore.
In fact, some people ridiculed that since 2003, Chinese players have monopolized the NBA championship.
Now, this statement has been verified.
After Battle, Sushi won three championships, and whether the Lakers won the championship or the Knicks won the championship this year, there were Chinese players who lifted the trophy.
"I still hope Sushi wins. Why? Because I think Suhey is the leader of the Knicks, and once the Knicks win the championship, he will be the Finals MVP. If the Lakers win the championship, the MVP is likely to be given to Kobe. I still hope that the Chinese players will win the MVP trophy. β
"Of course, the most important thing. Suhi has become a basketball god in Asia, but he is still a bit unconquered on the American side. Everyone felt that Jordan's two triples were stronger than Suhi's two teams in a three-game winning streak. But what if Sushi completes her four consecutive championships? β
"I changed two teams and won the MVP of the Finals for four consecutive years. Isn't that more difficult than Jordan's two triple wins? β
At this time, Director Zhang said: "The mouth grows on people's faces, they are shameless, and they can say anything." At that time, Su Xi won four consecutive championships and won the MVP of the finals for four consecutive years. Some people will say that six are better than four, and some people will say that if Jordan did not retire halfway, he would have won eight consecutive championships, and he would have won eight Finals MVPs. β
"But didn't he get it?" The moderator said.
"Then this thing, who said clearly, Americans are the ancestors of scoundrels."
"I think Sushi should have won four consecutive championships, five consecutive championships, six consecutive championships, seven consecutive championships... They were speechless. I believe Suhi has this ability. β
The host said very seriously.
He said this in a very loud tone.
However, in the hearts of the fans in front of the TV, they did not think it was such an arrogant statement.
Because, it's doable.
It's not that it's untargeted, everyone believes in the strength of the Knicks and Suhi.
While the two CCTV commentators were talking about the sky, the game was also going on.
The two sides fought very anxiously.
You come and go, fist to flesh.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed by 2 points.
In this quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming played strongly and were quite good.
In the second quarter of the game, Sushi led the Knicks to recover the score and entered the locker room by 1 point.
Suhi, Milicic, Zach Randolph and Stephen Jackson played very strongly in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, both sides made adjustments and used a rotational lineup.
The Lakers let Yao Ming rest, and the Knicks had Zach Randolph and Gary Payton and Stephen Jackson make short adjustments.
The Knicks started to go on a rampage.
Raise the tempo.
Milicic played a vital role in this period, linking the whole pitch, Susiy constantly racing, and using his off-ball playmaking ability to lead the team.
The Knicks' offensive efficiency is phenomenal.
At one point, the margin stretched to double digits.
"That's the scary thing about the New York Knicks, they have a couple of killer rosters at once, they can switch at any time, and they seem to have a constant flow of power off the bench," Charles Barkley said on television. In contrast, the Lakers are cautious when using rotations, for fear that the tactics will not advance perfectly. β
Everyone could understand what Barkley was saying, and they could see it clearly against the game.
That's just the way it is.
The Knicks have a rich lineup, a tactical style of play, and a weird and changeable style.
But when the Lakers were about to finish the third quarter, the point difference gradually recovered.
Because Kobe Bryant began to soar, Kobe Bryant felt very good tonight, even under Suhi's high-intensity defense, he still maintained a strong output.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers trailed by just three points.
Bryant had an astonishing 37 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block at this time.
You know, the Lakers' total score is only 75 points.
He alone scored more than half of the points.
Yao Ming also scored 17 points.
In other words, except for Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming, all the other Lakers players combined for only 21 points.
This can be seen from the high concentration of the Lakers' scoring.
On the other hand, the Knicks' side scored very evenly and each player had excellent output.
This is also why Kobe Bryant deliberately walked in front of Sushi and said trash talk when he got off the court: "Jack, you're not a goat at all." You can't beat me at all, I'll always be No. 1 in scoring. You beat me in the regular season, and people will say you're the top scorer. But they will never compare you to me. β
"I'll always be the active leading scorer."
Kobe Bryant provoked Sushi with such words.
He knew that such words were useful.
Suhi just smiled at him and said, "You're so naΓ―ve. Do you think this kind of talk will have an effect on me? β
"I don't know about others, but it definitely has an impact on you!"
Kobe Bryant said very firmly.
Suhi didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Suhi went back to the bench, and when he sat there, his heart was really fluctuating, he was going to beat Kobe, he was going to beat the Lakers, and he seemed to have to make a trade-off between the two.
Suhi's scoring ability will not be worse than Kobe's, and Suhi's scoring threat will not be weaker than Kobe's.
However, in today's league, no one is better than Kobe.
So is Suhi, who only unlocks 97 right now.
He knows how strong Kobe Bryant is.
However, from the level of the game, why does Suhi want to compete with Kobe Bryant for his ability to solve problems?
yes, why compare.
But Su Xi still couldn't help but want to compare.
Kobe Bryant knows Sushi too well.
He understands how proud Sushi is, and he knows very well that Suhey's heart wants to be a GOAT.
If you want to become a GOAT, it's useless to kill James over and over again.
James is just the chosen one who was blown out.
Kobe Bryant is the real mountain.
Just climb over this hill to have a chance to talk about goats.
Sitting on the bench, the Knicks didn't set up tactics, because tactics have long been in mind.
Isaiah Thomas couldn't help much, he just stood there quietly and wiped Suhey's sweat.
Backbite!
The whistle blew and the fourth quarter began.
The game continues.
The Knicks are still playing a strong offense, and they're still playing with all the guys.
It's silky and smooth.
The Knicks' offense tonight was very hearty.
Zach Randolph and Stephen Jackson returned to the Circle to deepen that fluidity.
Yao Ming, who had rested for most of the game, also returned full of blood, and he beat Milicic in the paint area. Although he also couldn't prevent Milicic from moving near the free-throw line.
But his lethality is undoubtedly greater than that of Milicic.
After all, he's closer to the basket.
The Lakers are still Kobe Bryant's singles, Yao Ming's singles, and Yao Ke's three offensive modes, and the other three players are all assisting them in their running.
It's a simple way to play, but it works well in the finals.
Because both of them are strategic strengths.
At one point, they overtook the difference.
But the Knicks then always found an opportunity to get the score back and pull away.
This is the case until the countdown stage.
There were 47 seconds left.
Kobe Bryant singled out Suhi and hit a turnaround jumper to narrow the score to 2 points.
He looked directly into Su Xi's eyes at this time, and he said to Su Xi, "Come and fight me alone!" β
Suhi smiled, he took the basketball, and he pulled away the singles.
But when Milicic ran out of a great position, he passed the basketball.
And, he ran quickly to the top of the arc, Milicic passed the ball, Suhi received the ball and shot, facing Kobe's block and shooting three-pointers...... Swish!
Arrested.
The Knicks lead by five points.
At this time, Kobe Bryant stimulated Suhi: "Does Suhi the goat only dare to do the work of these shooters?" β
"Can you do the same job?" Sushi asked Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant was right: "I'm not a GOAT!" β
Kobe's words shocked Suhi, he didn't expect Kobe to say such a thing as a proud person.
This means that Bryant no longer puts himself on top of the team, and he is starting to become a superstar who is truly looking for victory. Although, when he said this, it also meant that he would never be able to set foot at the top of history.
But for him, perhaps, there was something more meaningful.
He's going to win the championship, he's going to win the Finals MVP, and he's going to be the ultimate patron saint of the Lakers.
"As you who want to win the GOAT, don't you even have the courage to single me at the last moment?" Bryant continued to irritate Suhi.
Back in the half, Bryant continued to single Suhi.
But the moment he shook half of Su Xi's body, he passed the basketball to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming made a layup... Bang!
No.
Kwame Brown took a big credit and grabbed the rebound.
Backbite!
Then, he asked for a pause.
There are 19 seconds left in the game.
His rebound was crucial, but his timeout made the Lakers a little passive.
Because this is the last timeout for the Lakers.
At this time, Kwame Brown heard the voice he most wanted to hear.
Kobe Bryant actually gave him a thumbs up: Good job, Kwame!
Kwame Brown was dumbfounded.

Ask for a commuter pass! Brothers! It's the end of the month!
