Reborn in 96, I started by taking charge of the Dallas Mavericks.

"Welcome back!"

As they retreated on defense, Nash gave Kobe a high-five and said something.

Seeing Kobe announce his return with such an explosive dunk over an opponent right at the start of the game, Chen Fang could finally sit down with peace of mind.

"Brothers, today is the day for our revenge!"

Back in his own half, Kobe didn't become arrogant; instead, he encouraged his teammates.

CCTV Sports Channel Studio.

Coach Zhang was already excitedly standing up to watch the game.

"My God, that was an absolutely amazing shot!"

"Kobe Bryant scored the Mavericks' first point of the game with a thunderous dunk over an opponent!"

"Coach Zhang, don't get excited, let's sit down first."

"Even though viewers in front of the TV can't see our studio, you still need to pay attention to your image."

Sun Zhengping offered his advice with a helpless expression.

Back to the competition venue.

Iverson, who had just been outmaneuvered by Kobe, showed no anger whatsoever; instead, he smiled.

"That's more interesting. It would be boring if I could defeat you so easily."

The 76ers are on offense, and Iverson brings the ball across half-court.

In fact, the 76ers were determined to rebuild after the 91-92 season, and their record in the past few seasons has not been ideal.

After the end of last season, the Philadelphia 76ers made four major adjustments.

Former owner Harold Katz sold the team to Concast for $1250 million.

Johnny Davis and Brad Greenberg were hired as the team's head coach and general manager, respectively.

They selected Allen Iverson with the first overall pick in this summer's NBA draft.

This also means that the 76ers will build their championship-contending roster around Allen Iverson.

In a way, the 76ers are quite similar to the current Mavericks.

Both teams changed owners and underwent significant changes in management after the end of last season.

Both teams selected young core players with high draft picks in the draft.

However, the Mavericks' rebuilding was more thorough. Under Chen Fang's requirements, the Mavericks not only underwent a major overhaul of the management team, but also a major overhaul of the players.

The 76ers retained their original roster and added Iverson, so it can be said that the 76ers have better player chemistry than the Mavericks.

But the truth is, the Mavericks showed tremendous strength at the start of the new season, and at one point even topped the Western Conference.

In contrast, the 76ers suffered a series of losses at the start of the new season, seemingly returning to the state of previous seasons.

However, as the game progressed, the two teams suddenly took a dramatic turn.

The Mavericks began a losing streak, while the 76ers, led by Iverson, achieved their first three-game winning streak since the start of the season.

Not only the team, but even Kobe and Iverson experienced a reversal.

Initially, Kobe was the darling of the media, with all the reports praising and commending him, while Iverson was met with doubt and criticism.

Now, the tables have turned completely. Iverson has become the media's new darling, while Kobe seems to have been relegated to the sidelines, as if anyone can step on him.

As media coverage of Iverson increased, he gradually gained confidence.

Iverson brought the ball up the court, and like Kobe, he didn't call for his teammates, but decided to take the shot himself.

Allen Iverson is not tall, only 1.83 meters, but he has unparalleled speed.

Facing Nash's defense, Iverson didn't use any fancy dribbling moves. He simply changed direction and used his absolute speed to get past Nash in one step.

In later years, Nash's defense has always been criticized by fans; the better his passing, the worse his defense.

But since arriving in Dallas, Chen Fang has had Coach Bu coach Nash on defense, especially now that he has players like Ben Wallace and Kobe Bryant, who are excellent defenders, by his side.

Nash's individual abilities have improved significantly, but even so, he still can't stop Iverson when he gets serious.

After Iverson broke through Nash, Ben Wallace immediately came over to help defend.

Seeing Ben Wallace blocking his path, Iverson didn't slow down at all and charged towards him like a wild horse.

The base was positioned outside the fair zone, already standing still.

If Iverson had charged at that speed, he would undoubtedly have been called for an offensive foul.

Just when everyone thought Iverson would slow down, he not only showed no sign of slowing down but instead became even faster.

The next second, just before he was about to collide with Ben Wallace, Iverson spun around, blew past Wallace, and scored a layup.

Handsome!

So handsome!

After scoring, Iverson looked at Kobe provocatively.

Feeling Iverson's gaze, Kobe made no response and silently ran towards the frontcourt.

"The competition has only just begun, and I will prove that I am stronger than you!"

Ben Wallace serves, and Nash leisurely dribbles the ball forward.

After the Mavericks players were in position, they began to run their tactics.

Kobe slid along the baseline from the strong side, then circled out from the weak side after using Zydrunas Ilgauskas's screen.

Nash arrived at the ball, Kobe caught it and slammed it in for a three-pointer!

Kobe scored in two consecutive possessions, but the 76ers didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation, only thinking that Kobe was just in good form today.

Turning back, the 76ers went on offense.

This time, Iverson called in Coleman for a pick-and-roll, and they started a two-man show.

Using a screen, Iverson drove into the paint, Coleman received a quick pass from Iverson on a cut-to-the-basket move, and scored with a hook shot under the basket.

The ball changed and the Mavericks attacked.

Ben Wallace inbounded the ball from the baseline, at which point Allen Iverson suddenly applied a full-court press, forcing Wallace to pass the ball to Kobe.

Kobe had just dribbled the ball past half-court when the 76ers started to double-team him.

"Double-team?"

Kobe smiled slightly, waved to Nash who had come back to receive the pass, and then pulled up and shot from a step away from the three-point line.

……

"That's... a super long-range three-pointer!"

"When Kobe was double-teamed, he didn't pass the ball to a teammate who came to receive it, but instead chose to take a three-pointer from a great distance. This was not a reasonable choice!"

Seeing Kobe raise his hand and launch a long-range three-pointer, Zhang Weiping once again uttered his favorite phrase.

As soon as Zhang Heli finished speaking, Sun Zhengping, who was standing next to him, immediately started swearing.

"Holy crap, it's in!"

"That ball went in!"

No one expected that such an unreasonable shot would actually go in!

First, he dunked over someone, and now he's hitting a long-range three-pointer.

Kobe's actions ignited the passion of the fans in the arena, turning the quiet Reunion Arena into a sea of ​​cheers once again.

"Kobe! Kobe!"

"MVP! MVP!"

A month later, the cheers for MVP resounded again at the Reunion Gymnasium!

Kobe waved his hands, enjoying the cheers from the fans!

Seeing Kobe's strong performance, Chen Fang sat comfortably on the bench with his legs crossed, looking completely relaxed.

This is Kobe Bryant at an S-level skill level; even double-teaming him can't contain him now!
