Chapter 785 Kobe Bryant ([-])
"In the 1996 NBA Draft, the No.13 pick of the Charlotte Hornets was~, Kobe Bryant~!!!"

As a player of the golden generation of 96, the Hornets selected Kobe on draft night, bringing the then 17-year-old high school player to the NBA.

However, Bryant did not play any games for the Hornets, and did not even participate in any interviews.

On draft night, the Los Angeles Lakers traded the team's All-Star center Vlad Divac for Kobe, bringing Kobe to California and Los Angeles.

The Lakers fans and management at the time probably didn't expect that this young man, who had been imitating Michael Jordan's playing, would become one of the brightest stars in the history of the Lakers.

In the early days, Kobe and "Shark" O'Neal won three consecutive championships for the Lakers and created a Lakers dynasty. After that, there were ups and downs for several seasons.

The re-emerged Lakers won the championship again last season.

Kobe led the current Lakers, thinking about another dynasty.

In the opening game of the defending season, the Lakers were challenged by their city rivals, the Clippers.

With 7 points behind at halftime, Kobe began to explode, and that fierce look was to take over the game.

Whether it's Hill or Johnson defending, Kobe can always score the ball.

After a wave of 7:0, the Lakers have tied the point difference.

And it looks like it will overtake.

I saw Kobe once again broke through Johnson's defense, and took advantage of the emergency stop and Johnson's physical contact to create a foul.

If it was another player, maybe make a subconscious shooting action, the offense can get two free throws is already very profitable, but that is Kobe, he always has the ability to send the ball to the basket.

I saw Kobe tilted his body and threw the ball very hard.

"Beep~~"

The referee immediately blew his whistle, and the ball fell towards the basket.

"Brush~"

Another hollow hit~! !

The Lakers overtook the score.

Kobe has another chance to add a penalty~! !

"Yeah!!!!!!"

The fans at the Staples Center stood up and cheered. They might have thought that Kobe would explode, but they didn't expect it to come so fast, so unexpected~
Kobe sat on the floor, gritted his teeth fiercely, and clenched his fists. That fierce state looked really scary and aggressive.

"The situation is not good. Kobe is in full swing. He can score such goals. As a head coach, I really don't know what to do at this time~"

Lan Shengli bit his lip nervously, sighing inwardly.

Perhaps this is the first time Lan Shengli has felt helpless and helpless since he became the head coach.

I have thought of all the methods that should be thought of, and used the defensive strategies that should be used, but they still have no effect. I can only watch Kobe defeat the entire Clippers alone. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Kobe was pulled up by his teammates, walked to the free throw line, and was about to add a penalty.

"M~V~P~!!"

"M~V~P~!!"

Staples Center once again sounded the voice of MVP, Bryant really deserves such a voice.

"Brush~"

After steadily making additional free throws, the Lakers have already surpassed the Clippers by 3 points.

About 3 minutes into the second half, the Clippers still failed to score.

"Kobe's current offense is like the triangle offense in the first half. It is obviously unreasonable to use defense to limit it, so he has to use offense to counteract it like in the first half, and he has to replace a few pitchers. Besides, Now that we are behind, we must hold on to the score during this time and cannot be pulled away~!!"

Lan Shengli kept calm as much as possible, thinking of countermeasures.

"Bru, hurry up and figure out how to limit Kobe, otherwise we will basically explain the opening game~"

The general manager is also worried.

It seems that the Clippers management really wants to win this game~
Here the Clippers were attacking. After Harden used the pick-and-roll, he did not choose to be reckless, but gave the ball to Novak on the outside.

Here, Gasol was just about to make up the defense, and saw that Novak had already shot a three-pointer with a very fast shot.

"Swipe~!!"

Finally, the Clippers opened.

Novak hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the Clippers tied the point difference.

"It's just like this, it's simpler, shoot when you have a chance, it doesn't matter if you miss, just shoot~!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli immediately encouraged him.

"Being able to hit a three-pointer in such a critical situation, Novak is indeed a player with a big heart. This season's rookie contract expires. If you want to complete the contract extension with him, you need to prepare some money~"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

"Harden can still pass to Novak calmly at this time, and it really allowed me to see his growth. This kind of game intensity and atmosphere can accelerate the progress of young players~"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

Novak's three-pointer also allowed the Clippers to temporarily stabilize their position.

But if you want to regain the initiative on the court, you must limit Kobe on the defensive end.

Although this thing sounds a bit difficult, but still have to do it.

Kobe is still holding the ball here, the other four players pull away, and Kobe hits Johnson with his back.

Johnson has better size and strength, so it's not so easy for Kobe to create shooting space easily.

"This ball must be guarded. After all, Kobe is also a human being. It is impossible to maintain high efficiency all the time. As long as he breaks the rhythm once, it will be fine~!!"

Lan Shengli thought in an almost prayerful tone.

Kobe Bryant saw that Johnson was dead, so he chose to attack the frame.

After turning around, he dribbled the ball with his left hand, and after a feint to speed up the breakthrough, he suddenly made a pull-up jumper.

This action has some shadows of McGrady.

Johnson was very focused and directly took off to block the shot.

Although it didn't cover the ball, it made Kobe's shot turn up the arc.

"Backboard~!!"

Lan Shengli's ball tracked a little crookedly, so he immediately shouted.

But the players on the field were hard to hear.

After Johnson finished blocking the shot, he stood still and didn't go inside to grab a rebound. The main reason was that he didn't get stuck, allowing Kobe to go inside.

This is where young players lack experience.

A defensive link can be done well, but it does not necessarily mean that the entire defensive round can be done well.

"Clang, da~!!"

The ball here really hit the basket, bounced off the backboard, and flew out.

Because Jordan was stuck with the Twin Towers, he didn't have a good chance to take off with all his strength to grab this rebound.

When Jordan judged the landing point and was about to take off, he saw Kobe suddenly soaring into the air beside him~~
