Chapter 679 (1/2)

On March 29, 2003, Kobe played Jordan for the last time. The young No. 8 Kobe played 41 minutes, 29 for 15, 13 for 9, 18 for 16 free throws, 55 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, leading the Lakers to a 108-94 victory over the Wizards at home.

That game, Kobe seemed to be trying to prove his ability in front of Jordan for the last time. There is no doubt that Kobe made it.

And this 55 point game has become a classic in many people's minds.

But a not so good fact is that in that game, Kobe and Jordan played against each other very few times. Most of the time, Kobe's opponent is Jerry Stackhouse, another wizard guard.

Jordan and Kobe's real match in those several times, there was a steal, a foul, and a defense of Kobe. On the whole, Jordan wasn't really beaten up by Kobe.

At that time, Jordan was very lucky, at least beside him, there were people like Stackhouse to help him resist Kobe's attack.

Now Kobe is not so lucky, because from the first round, he has to face link directly!

Kobe didn't expect linkgang's counterattack speed is so fast, that kind of ball is not only the embodiment of a player's excellent level, but also the embodiment of a player's strong competitive spirit.

After being scored by Kobe, link did not have the patience to play any positional warfare slowly, but directly rushed up to return Kobe ”a punch.”. Link this also is to show his own attitude, he will not complete Kobe today.

Kobe Bryant this round by link defense is very dead, connecting the ball space can not flash out.

Kobe became too slow or too slow.

However, Wesley Johnson had to give the ball to Gasol. Pau Gasol played Randolph in the low post, and the Spaniard said he would fight with Kobe today!

Pau Gasol pushed his head back hard. People haven't seen him play so aggressive for a long time.

Last season, Gasol almost became a catcher and shooter because of Howard. Moreover, he is a catcher who can only shoot in the middle distance. This wonderful style naturally makes Gasol struggle.

This season, though, Michael D'Antoni still hasn't found Gasol's instructions. But at least, the inside of the Lakers is not so crowded, Gasol has a lot of free play.

When Gasol reached the basket, he turned the hook skillfully. Randolph had suffered from the height, Gasol also chose to hook this kind of hard to be blocked offensive means, Randolph had no way to interfere.

Basketball hollow into the net, into no muddle. Gasol roared and waved his fist, as if the ”Golden Lion” was back in the world.

”Shit, can you defend your brother later? He's too tall!” Randolph picked up the basketball and rushed to Gasol to make complaints about it.

”Leave it to me, Zach.” Pau Gasol patted Randolph on the shoulder, and he could clearly feel that his brother was in an unusual state today.

Kobe and Gasol excitedly high five, just that attack, as if let Kobe find the feeling of two consecutive championship period. Whenever he can't open up the situation, Gasol will come forward in time to help himself. Then they were invincible and ruled the League for two years.

Gasol did what he said. He said he would fight with Kobe and he would never be lazy! Today they don't have to rule the league, they just rule the FedEx stadium.

It seems that the ”script” of today's game is specially prepared for the Lakers. Kobe and Pau Gasol dream back to the top to give the Grizzlies who are the No.1 in the League for two consecutive defeats. Let them see what is the immortal of the big family. What a perfect story!

But link never follows the script given to him. Is there a few good stories that he destroys?

Link is still very excited, Kobe feels that the boy seems to be more excited than himself. The excitement was like that night in 2003, when he met Jordan...

just as Kobe was putting on his posture, link raised his hand to ask for the ball.

For the second consecutive round, link wanted to take the initiative to attack with the ball. Kobe found himself a little nervous, which he hadn't experienced for years.

But in front of the strong desire to attack link, Kobe also experienced this kind of tense feeling.

As soon as link got the ball, mark Gasol's cover was in place. Jordan Hill had to change his defense, and Kobe's ability to get out of cover is not as good as he was.

Link breaks through, hill and Kobe both chase after link. At the same time, Gasol also made up to the basket!

It's not the first time link has ”enjoyed” such treatment this season.

Pau Gasol is not only on the offensive side, but also on the defensive side.

For him, such a professional attitude is very worthy of recognition. After all, Gasol has been involved in transfer rumors since a long time ago. As a player who helped Kobe to create the last two consecutive titles, Gasol has been put on the shelf almost every year.Ordinary players would have been fishing if they had been treated like this. You don't want to see me, and I don't want to work hard for you.

But Gasol is still doing his best for the Lakers in such a situation, one of the most important reasons is Kobe!
