Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 109 Kobe is back!

Los Angeles, Staples Center.

On the night of December 12th, Kobe returned to play against the Raptors.

After a simple appearance and warm-up, Li Mu couldn't wait to change into the blacksmith team.

Billups, Kobe, Bowen, Big Ben, O'Neal.

Strangely, on the Raptors side, Christie, known as Kobe's nemesis, was absent due to injury.

The five starting players are Di Brown, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Oakley, and Antonio Davis.

The game started, and Kobe singled out McGrady with the ball.

Take a sudden step, make a two-point fadeaway jump shot...

Dodged McGrady's block, but couldn't escape with a bang, Kobe's back fell and hit the iron.

Although Kobe became the "four Yanghua three irons", Li Mu was very at ease.

The rebound was grabbed by Daben and continued to be distributed. Under Carter's revenge-style defensive interference, Bowen also went wide.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound, landed on the ground, turned around and lifted the ball, flying Davis, carrying the block, and while scoring the basketball, he also got a chance to add a penalty.

Boom-!
O'Neal played normally and missed the free throw.

0 to 2! !
Staples Center, although the familiar sound of iron strikes sounded again.

The situation on the court quickly fell to the Lakers.

Facing Kobe who had just returned, McGrady was completely stared down by Kobe's impenetrable defense.

He can only use his extremely fast first step to break through and make a two-point shot...

Kobe didn't want to block it, but covered McGrady's eyes.

The two sides were very familiar with each other, and with a bang, McGrady's shot also missed.

The Lakers have obvious inside advantage.

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe made 8 of 2 shots, scored 6 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds.

In the second quarter, Li Mu asked Kobe to stay on the court to find his status.

Bring in Fisher, Lewis, Horry and Brad Miller.

On the Raptors side, they can only fuck Medicart's two cousins.

When Christie was absent, the Raptors' only perimeter advantage disappeared.

Curry's father doesn't have the style he used to, and his defense is useless.

Kobe started to score points with Carter, and then was slapped in the face by Carter.

Carter broke through, rushed to the basket and dunked, very efficient.

Kobe had just come back, his hands were a little cold, and he was changing again and again.

After the second quarter, the score was 55 to 45. The Lakers relied on their lineup to expand the point difference to 10 points.

In the second half of the game, the Raptors only relied on Carter to carry the team forward.

He beat Bowen in the matchup.

Carter is just too athletic.

It's no wonder that Bowen wants to chase Carter to step up.

If you don't step up, with Bowen's physical talent, he will be blown to pieces by Carter.

Fortunately, McGrady was guarded.

Kobe is not in good shape, and his defensive skills have not been lost.

McGrady was terribly guarded.

After the first three quarters, the Lakers have expanded the point difference to more than 15 points.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe continued to be the Lakers' main attack point.

When the shot is not good, Kobe began to hit the basket frequently, causing damage to the free throw line.

Kobe Bryant broke through with all his strength, McGrady couldn't stand it.

hum~~
The buzzer sounds, and the full game time is over.

With a score of 117 to 104, the Lakers beat the Raptors by 13 points.

科比20投9中，罚球13中10，轰下28分5篮板4助攻。

奥尼尔20投9中，罚球15投8中，轰下26分13篮板5助攻。

No problem, O'Neill is also very strong in this state.

The Lakers, however, were able to win easily.

McGrady made 10 of 2 shots and scored 8 points. Carter made 29 of 12 shots, 7 of 2 three-pointers, 10 of 7 free throws, and scored 33 points. The two scored 41 points together. The Raptors still lost The Lakers led by the OK combination.

……

December 12, North Shore Rose Garden Arena.

The Lakers play back-to-back away games against the Celtics.

The Lakers were lucky. When Kobe came back, he not only played the game, but the Raptors had an uneven lineup. Pierce also failed to play against the Celtics.

You ask if Pierce got 11 hits?

Not yet, until September 2000, 9, and it's not yet that time.

Therefore, the only thing the Celtics can play is the volute.

That's right, it's the volute Antoine Walker.

Likes shooting [-]s and twisting his ass.

Tonight, he was frequently hit by Bowen, and the Lakers picked up the rebounds and hit a quick counterattack, one hit at a time.

If you push the position, O'Neill blasts Tony Batty without the slightest temper.

Against their mortal enemy, the Celtics resisted fiercely, and the Lakers were not polite. With a score of 118 to 90, they slaughtered their opponents by 28 points, extending their winning streak to 7 games per game.

奥尼尔继续狂爆表现，轰下36分20篮板4助攻，科比27分4篮板4助攻4抢断，表现全能。

January 12th, Los Angeles, Putai Pusi Center Arena.

The Lakers finally ushered in a tough battle against the Spurs led by Duncan.

Li Mu started with five players, still the Iron Squad, Billups, Kobe, Bowen, Big Ben and O'Neal.

On the Spurs side, Popovich ranked the young generals Johnson, Mario Eli, Jalen Jackson, Duncan and David Robinson.

In the jump ball, O'Neal beat Robinson and scored the first attack for the Lakers.

Billups went up the court and hoisted the basketball to O'Neal.

Bang-!
With great force, he knocked Robinson, who had a lighter foot, into the air, turned around to face Duncan's help defense, and rode the buckle directly. With a bang, his whole body hung on the basket.

At the peak of O'Neal, Duncan couldn't defend offensively.

0 to 2! !
Looking back, the Spurs attacked.

The Lakers shrank their formation, forcing the Spurs to shoot from the outside.

The little general Johnson lobbed the ball to Duncan, and Bowen rushed to hit it.

Duncan points the ball out of the perimeter, and Jaren Jackson makes a three-point jumper from the bottom line...

Boom-!
Without Sean Elliott in the lineup, the Spurs' three-pointers were even weaker.

The rebound was grabbed by Daben, and the Lakers pushed fast, so it doesn't matter if they can't make it.

In the positional battle, Kobe played off the ball, received the ball from the weak side, broke through Duncan's defense zone, slammed, gliding and dunking, and scored two points.

0 to 4! !
Off the court, Li Mu nodded.

In the 98/99 season, the Spurs could not beat the Lakers.

It's even harder to beat the Lakers now.

The Spurs attacked, and Johnson and David Robinson played a pick-and-roll tactic.

O'Neal didn't come out, Robinson caught the ball, and in the hands of Billups, a jumper hit two points.

2 to 4! !
Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.

Billups hit Johnson, who is 1 meters tall, with the ball on his back.

Step by step, hit the shooting sweet spot, immediately turn over and shoot a jump shot...

Swish-!
Billups made a strong two-pointer.

Next, Kobe singled out Mario Ellis and made a two-point fallback.

Kobe hit back, turned around and hit a two-pointer.

On the outside, the Spurs have nothing to do with the Lakers.

Mario Elli, who was born in 1963, is almost 37 years old, and he is also powerless in the face of Kobe's impact.

The outside line was blown up, and the inside line couldn't withstand the impact of the peak O'Neal.

The more the Spurs play, the more confused they are, and they don't know where to go?

With two superstar insiders in hand, the championship is nowhere in sight!
