knife point guard

Chapter 354 [Goat Suxi must challenge]

If Kwame Brown had a tail, he would have lifted it up and swung it hard at Kobe Bryant.

However, Phil Jackson's face is still clouded.

The team is now 5 points behind. Although there are still 19 seconds left, it is theoretically possible to overtake.

But once the shot misses.

That's it.

So, he deploys tactics.

He arranged for Kobe Bryant to play in isolation, but Kobe Bryant gave the opportunity to Vujacic. He asked Vujacic to catch the ball and shoot in the bottom corner... Tonight, Vujacic hit 2 shots from this position.

Kobe made such an arrangement, which was unexpected.

However, it is the most reasonable.

However, the moment Kobe ran inside, Su Xi glanced around.

The tide is gone.

In the past, Kobe didn't have a pass button. But now he made such a decision at such a critical moment.

beep!

Jordan Farmar hit a long three-pointer that didn't even touch the net.

Staples Center was filled with frustration.

But the time is only 5.6 seconds.

Sure enough, Yao Ming passed the basketball to the bottom corner.

This is very difficult for Kobe, and it can be said to be a complete change.

Susie is chasing Kobe Bryant, who is the most dangerous offensive weapon anyway.

The whistle blows and the game begins.

Phil Jackson is impressed by Kobe Bryant.

His hard-solving ability is the best in the world.

Hit 3 points.

His teammates came over quickly and passed the basketball to him. Su Xi pressed him and he took a quick shot... Whoa!

The Lakers replaced the main force.

Lowry caught the basketball in the frontcourt, and it was too late for the Lakers to foul.

At the last second, the Knicks sent the basketball to Su Xi.

He caught the ball, slowly entered the penalty area, and put the basketball into the basket when the Lakers players couldn't wait to catch up and foul.

Yao Ming serves from the outside.

Kobe's face was livid, and he did not argue with Su Xi.

Yao Ming scored 28 points and 16 rebounds.

In the last few seconds, the Lakers didn't need to play.

The Lakers were 7 points behind and there was no timeout.

beep!

Swish!
Swish!
Su Xi made two free throws.

The point difference is only 4 points.

He believes that Kobe has really matured, and to an unprecedented level.

There are only 10 seconds left in the game.

But the moment he passed the basketball, Su Xi, who was following Kobe, suddenly turned his gun, and he flew out and went straight to the bottom corner.

Especially when Vujacic and Kobe cross-covered, Kobe suddenly ran to the outside again, and Su Xi made a decision.

Su Xi was sour and his remarks were very harsh.

Fly right out of bounds.

Kobe Bryant scored an astonishing 52 points in this game.

Then he yelled a quick break.

He jumped up, jumped up, and grabbed the basketball before Vujacic.

The whistle blows and the game is over.

Su Xi came to Kobe and said to Kobe: "Kobe, you have changed. How could you do this? You actually passed the ball, are you still the number one defender in the league?"

Lowry quickly ran towards the frontcourt, and Su Xi passed the basketball.

He was not in the mood.

Su Xi caught the basketball, but Kobe still stepped forward and fouled.

But the Lakers lost their first game 109:115.

The Lakers' dual-core style of play is very successful, and their combat effectiveness is even better than that of the OK combination back then.

However, the players around them are not as strong as the role players during the three consecutive championships.

The Knicks won, and the Knicks' style of play was called 'one super, many strengths' by Charles Barkley.

The super star is of course Su Xi, a superstar and a historical star.

How strong are Zach Randolph, Milicic, Stephen Jackson, David Lee, Lowry, Ariza... these players have different functions but extremely excellent performance on the court.

Isiah Thomas couldn’t wait to show off.

"It feels good to win the first victory in the Finals in Los Angeles. The Lakers are very strong, stronger than imagined. The combination of Kobe and Yao Ming surpasses the OK combination. This is a fact."

"But another fact is that no matter how powerful they are, they must accept the rule of the goat Su Xi. Su Xi is the only ruler of this era and the greatest ruler in NBA history. Who dares not to be convinced?"

"Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, and Kobe Bryant are all elites of the era, but they are nothing in front of Jack."

Isiah Thomas is silent during the game and arrogant after the game. This is his unique working mode.

This is what he earns.

The players love it, the owners love it, and the fans love it even more.

Isiah Thomas' job is the most envied by all coaches and even general managers in the league: This guy has obviously done nothing, but he has won everything.

Best coach, best general manager...he got them all.

What else does he have to regret?

As long as Jordan is surpassed by Su Xi, his playing experience will be immediately unsealed, and people will recognize him as one of the rulers of the 1980s and 1990s.

Because he did lead the Pistons to two consecutive victories, and he did kill three rulers in the 1980s and 1990s: Bird and Magic all lost to him in head-to-head matches. Jordan was suppressed by him for several years.

The reason why he did not receive widespread praise as a player was because the Pistons' bad boy reputation was not good. On the other hand, media publicity and league promotion must cater to the 'basketball god Jordan's historical view'.

But if Su Xi overthrows Jordan, as the coach and Bole of the goat Su Xi, he will be completely released.

His honors and achievements will also be publicized again, and they will even be widely publicized because of Su Xi.

This work has already begun in New York State. Isiah Thomas has been touted as the best player, head coach, and general manager in NBA history.

Who can argue with this?

Although Bird is also very strong,... Su Xi is in the Knicks now, and he has not led the team to win the championship as the head coach.

Although Magic has been a player and head coach, he has never been a general manager.

As for Jordan, he is indeed a very strong player and is still the god of basketball. But his management skills are so bad that the Washington Wizards are still "paying off" his debts, and the Charlotte Bobcats' draft picks in recent years are even more difficult to describe.

Compare that to Isiah Thomas’ elation.

The Knicks players seem to be relatively low-key.

Milicic said: "Yao Ming is very powerful. It is not easy for someone with his size to still maintain such flexibility. I am often shocked by his movements on the court."

"What's even more surprising is his shooting. His touch is so soft. He can fire from any position, and once he catches the ball smoothly and takes aim, all you can do is pray to God!"

"I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can block him. It's unrealistic. He's like standing on the second floor and throwing stones into the pond."

"But I will try my best to interfere with him. I can't let him catch the ball comfortably or perform moves comfortably. This is what I can do on the defensive end."

He has proven himself to be the top center in the league.

Although he modestly said that he could not compare with Yao Ming.

But in fact, Yao Ming was also helpless on the defensive end.

He played his own style and truly entered the realm of superstardom.

One criterion for entering the superstar field is: you only blow each other up on the court, not being bombed.

Later, Su Xi also spoke highly of Kobe and Yao Ming.

Su Xi said: "They are the strongest inside and outside combination currently in service. I think they have performed the inside and outside play to the extreme. Yao Ming is the most suitable inside partner for Kobe, and Kobe is also the most suitable outside partner for Yao Ming. They have achieved such achievements, I'm not surprised at all."

It's rare for Su Xi to praise an opponent like this.

Especially such heartfelt appreciation.

However, Kobe Bryant did the opposite at this time.

He was present at the press conference.

He was openly challenging Su Xi.

"I think Suzy is still not the best player in the league."

"Although he won the scoring title, he still didn't dare to confront me head-on!"

"If he can't beat me in scoring, he's never going to beat Jordan."

"Maybe his style of hiding behind his teammates can win him some victories, but he won't win my respect."

Kobe made these remarks at the post-game press conference, and reporters were stunned.

Didn’t Kobe have a very good relationship with Su Xi? Why did he suddenly fire on Su Xi? And how could he say that Su Xi didn't dare to confront him head-on? Didn't Su Xi just defeat him?
Su Xi also had a triple-double of 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in this game.

Not worse than Kobe.

What on earth is Kobe talking about?
A reporter from TNT quickly asked: "Kobe, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Jack just won the scoring title. He scored a record-breaking 40 points. This is a rare honor in history. Why do you say he is hiding behind the scenes?" What about behind his teammates? He is the leader of the Knicks, and that's something that no one has ever doubted."

Kobe calmed down and said: "I mean, he doesn't dare to challenge me one-on-one. Do you understand? He doesn't dare to defeat me by one person versus two people or three people. He doesn't have that." Ability, he only dares to use his physical fitness to make some quick attacks and score at the basket. He only dares to use his ability to run without the ball to quickly get shots and score."

"A true basketball god should face the most brutal defense in the most difficult place on the court and hit the shot!"

Kobe said decisively.

At this time, the TNT reporter understood. He said: "In other words, you want Jack the Goat to become a lone wolf, not pass the ball to any teammates, score 60 or 70 points by himself and then beat the Lakers? Beat you too, right?"

Kobe nodded: "You can understand it that way."

Even though this is Los Angeles, even though this is the home base of the Lakers.

The reporters below were also a little unable to hold their nerve, and burst into laughter.

Kobe's request is really incredible.

This doesn't conform to basketball logic.

As strong as Jordan, he didn't do that. Before Pippen grew up, no matter how strong his personal scoring was, he never won the championship.

Why do you ask Su Xi to fight like this?

Doesn't this make Su Xi give up the Knicks' greatest advantage and compete with you on the bayonet?
Su Xi is not a fool, why should he listen to you?
Therefore, some Los Angeles media said: "I don't think Jack the Goat will listen to you. He will not let himself become a lone wolf. Because in essence, he is a point guard."

But Kobe showed a mysterious smile, shook his head, and said: "No! I think he will definitely do that! He is an ambitious guy, and if he wants to become a super basketball god, he must do this. He has to convince me that I am the last single super competitor in his career.”

"Do you understand what I mean? Only by defeating me one-on-one can he win the title of the strongest player in the league and take off the crown from Jordan's head."

Kobe explained to reporters that he was worried that reporters would not report enough.

Su Xi watched Kobe's interview in front of the TV. He had only one thought at the time: Old Fox! Damn old fox.

Kobe really figured out his psychology.

Although the media thinks Kobe's statement is ridiculous and illogical.

But, for Su Xi, it is indeed the case.

If he doesn't defeat Kobe head-on, then he really won't be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.

As Kobe said, Kobe has become the last single competitor on Su Xi's road to GOAT.

Kobe represents the ultimate one-on-one, the ultimate hard-hitting scoring ability.

Su Xi's scoring skills came from Kobe, and he has now integrated them to 97.

He is already one of the top scorers in the league today. Coupled with his better physical fitness than Kobe, stronger offensive ability than Kobe, ability to move without the ball, and ability to take open shots...his overall score must have surpassed Kobe, even though his height is a little more than three centimeters shorter than Kobe.

However, if it is hard to unlock the ability in positional combat, enter the lone wolf mode of fighting alone.

Su Xi is definitely not Kobe's opponent.

Kobe started out playing this game. From the moment he came into contact with basketball, he was already a lone wolf.

He didn't even pay attention to O'Neal.

Therefore, when he proposed this challenge, most of the media thought that he was a fantasy. It was impossible for Su Xi to accept the challenge, let alone pay attention to him.

But at this time, Kobe's former teammate, Shaquille O'Neal, threw out his remarks. "I think Jack Su will rise to the challenge, and he must rise to the challenge. He has reached this position, and he must defeat all unconvinced opponents in every aspect."

"Although Kobe is a bit shameless in doing this, who made Kobe himself give up on being No. 1 in the league now?"

"This is a big gamble. If Jack can't beat Kobe, Kobe is still the star of the league. If Jack enters the gamble, the Lakers are very likely to win the championship."

"Kobe has a great chance of winning."

"Does Susie the Sheep dare to bet on the championship and the trust of her teammates?"

"Does he dare to do this? I'll wait and see."

Shaquille O'Neal's words are somewhat provocative.

Moreover, he actually favors Kobe and the Lakers.

Who let the goat Su Xi sweep him twice without mercy?
