Chapter 220 Kobe and Jordan's Confrontation (Fifth Watch! More to Come!)
"Incredible! Incredible footsteps! Kobe waltzed like he was on a basketball court! He shook Michael so dizzy!"
"Top ten shots! Not the five best shots of the day, but the top ten shots of the season! I have never seen a guard who can play such a gorgeous feint under Jordan's defense!"
"Jordan's second take-off speed is also exaggerated! How can he appear again when he is completely out of position, have you seen it? He almost covered Kobe!"
The roar of the magician and Worthy made every audience in front of the TV excited, it was too strong!
Whether it is Kobe or Jordan, their offensive and defensive performance stunned a group of people.
Can basketball still play like this?
This is unreasonable! ?
Three feints?
The coach can let me sit on the bench for three months!
Can you make up for the block in time if you are clicked?
Area 51 can grab me and slice it for research!
Kobe and Jordan stared at each other coldly, while the other players on the field stared at them both blankly.
They wonder, are we playing the same sport?
The referee even forgot to throw a throw-in, only to be awakened by the cheers of the fans!
Jordan took the basketball directly from Pippen and started to accelerate from his own half!
Bowen gritted his teeth, trying to stop Jordan's frantic acceleration.
"Boom!" The two collided together! Bowen fell to the ground! And Jordan staggered and continued to move forward!
"Fack, isn't this an offensive foul?" Philadelphia's Joe Bryant angrily swears in front of the students.
"Terrifying power! Bowen seems to be a primary school student in front of Jordan!"
"It's unbelievable that a shooting guard can knock a forward down!"
Jordan speeds up again! Eddie Jones abandons Pippen and comes to help defend!
Jordan was calm and composed, dribbled the ball behind his back, and simply avoided Eddie Jones' pressure!
Entering the middle distance, Ben Wallace helps defend!
Yi Ran is not afraid! Jordan holds the ball high!
"Come down!" Ben Wallace, who flew into the sky, found Jordan with a sneer on his face, leaned forward, and threw the ball while leaning on Ben Wallace.
Hit the board!
"Doo! 2+1!" Jordan was knocked to the ground by Big Ben, got up and glared at Kobe before hitting a free throw.
"Did you see the way Jordan looked at Kobe? That's how he looked at me back then. He already put Kobe on the same level as himself! And Jordan, who is very competitive, will not let Kobe go easily! ANSWER BALL! This One shot was Jordan's answer to Kobe!"
"The Lakers have three rookies on the field, and Michael, the rookie killer, will definitely teach them a lesson in this game."
"Can Kobe really be taught a lesson? I don't think so."
Kobe and Bowen picked up Ben who had fallen to the ground.
"I'm sorry, boss, I still jumped." Ben Wallace showed a trace of embarrassment on his fierce face. From the summer training game, Kobe repeatedly emphasized that you should not take off casually when you meet outside stars, but he saw Jordan Still can't help being deceived by his fake moves.
"It's okay, if you don't jump, he will shoot." Masters of fake moves like Kobe and Jordan have the ability to fake a fake show at any time. The ball was passed by two people in a row by Jordan. Jordan didn't choose to pass the ball, but just wanted to hit a response ball.
This is no longer a question of jumping or not jumping. Jordan's response to the ball is unstoppable.
"Today's Michael seems to be twenty years old! He is no longer a meek terminator in the triangle offense. He is like a flame that will ignite the Lakers!"
"Kobe inspired Michael's competitiveness, and that competitiveness is what made him so accomplished!"
"Shua." The free throw was made cleanly, and Jordan retreated to the defense while watching Kobe.
This response ball! How do you like it?
Since he regards Kobe as an opponent of the same level, Jordan will never let it go! Go all out! It is Jordan's respect for Kobe!
"It's so interesting! How many years haven't you seen Michael and outside stars face off? The last time was Michael vs. Drexler in 1993!" the magician gushed, wishing to return to the field and fight side by side with Kobe.
"Tough! Kobe is attacking again! Cut in and step out quickly, the golden rooster is independent, and he makes a three-pointer!"
"Go in, go in again!"
"Pippen backed Eddie Jones again and passed the ball to Michael in the low post."
"Michael's shoulder feint! Turn over jump shot! Bowen can't interfere at all!"
"Kobe and Campbell hit a pick and roll, cut inside, Pippen in the front, Michael in the back, Kobe rode and shot! Go in again!"
"Jordan is angry! He has the ball! He passed Bowen with a stride! He went to the basket and dunked with one hand!"
"Crazy! Kobe and Jordan are crazy!"
"Beep!" The whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, and the audience and players realized that the time was over.
Bulls 26:25 Lakers!
Don't fall behind!
The second half of the first quarter! The confrontation between Kobe and Jordan did not fail!
Kobe scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers in 6 of 9 in the first quarter!
Jordan scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 steals and 0 turnovers in 6 of 8 in the first quarter!
There is no doubt that the performance of the two people is evenly matched.
Kobe was panting heavily, taking over for only half a quarter, and he felt that he had consumed more energy than usual for half a game.
Jordan was sipping Gatorade, and he was a little tired too! At the age of 34, Jordan's physical fitness has dropped a lot compared to his peak.
Especially today's style of play is not an easy score in the triangle offense, today it is more about taking the initiative to attack with the ball! There is also Bowen pressing the audience, sticking to Jordan!
And many response balls, Jordan forced one to two, one to three!
This style of play consumes a lot of energy.
"Boss! Watch me perform!"
The whistle sounded at the beginning of the second quarter, and both sides went up and down at the same time!
Fisher stepped onto the court with a confident and determined face.
Kobe didn't know why, every time he saw Fisher's expression, he felt a little flustered in his heart.
Both teams' benches are top five in the league! Both ability and configuration are top-notch, even if they form a team, they will be on the verge of the playoffs.
Lakers send PG Derek Fisher SG Nick Van Exel SF Jerome Kersey PF Robert Horry C Tyrese Knight. Because of Daben's promotion, Horry played the role of the fourth position.
The Bulls' bench lineup is PG Randy Brown, Steve Kerr, SG Steve Kerr, SF Jason Caffey, PF Tony Kukic, and Robert Parrish. A big lineup!
At the same time, they are hoarding high-quality centers like Bill Wennington.
The thickness of this lineup is the key to the Bulls' ability to win 72 wins. Without such an excellent substitute, the Bulls would have been exhausted to win 72 wins.
Both sides have very similar bench lineups, with two shooting guards, a defensive small forward, and a shooting playmaking power forward.
"Death order! Tyrese, resist Parish for me!" Kirtland Biss repeatedly emphasized that in the last game, Parish defeated Tyrese and let O'Neill play early.
"Um, next time for sure?" Tyrese was a little panicked.
