The Fifth Point Guard

  Chapter 479 OK Wild History (4000-word chapter)

  Many years ago, in a shameful year, named Kobe Bryant, he came to the Orlando Magic locker room.

  Don’t ask how he got in, just ask someone.

  He has a camera, a signature pen and a magazine in his hands.

  There were not many people in the magic locker room at this time, but the person he was looking for happened to be here.

  "Penny" Anfenni Hardaway.

   Kobe walked to Hardaway's side and asked for an autograph and a group photo.

  Because of seeing her idol, Sao Nian's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

   is like when looking for a hole for the first time.

   "Well, hurry up." Hardaway said impatiently.

  The contract and signature only took a short ten seconds.

  Kobe didn’t even get a chance to talk to his idol.

  Since then, "Penny" is no longer an idol that Kobe worships.

  Among countless important moments neglected by the official history of basketball, this is definitely one of the most important moments.

   Hardaway’s indifference made Kobe never worship anyone again.

   And he did not expect that in the few minutes after that, he met another person who was destined to change his life.

  Vani was wrong.

  That is, Shaquille O’Neal.

   Seeing a Sao Nian with a lonely expression, the big man’s heart was slightly moved.

  At this moment, this big guy will not know that in the future, his heart will be blown up by this year.

  O'Neal walked to Kobe's side, he saw Sao Nian staring at "Penny" out of the locker room, and did not even say hello to his admirers.

   Kobe’s disappointment and embarrassment at the moment were written on his biting lips. Although O’Neal did not know the origin of this teenager, he decided to talk to him.

  "Hello, boy, how have you been recently?"

   Kobe turned his head and raised his face.

  What catches the eye is O’Neill’s big smiling face.

  The disc like the sun radiates warmth.

  O'Neal and Kobe talked for about 5 minutes.

  In fact, these 5 minutes were mainly Kobe talking about his basketball dream in front of O’Neal.

  Farewell, O'Neal said to Kobe: "It's nice to meet you, and good luck. See you in the NBA."

  This is like an agreement between two men, which has taken root in Kobe's heart.

  Entering the NBA and becoming a professional player has become Kobe's extremely determined goal.

  At that time, O'Neal was in the inside of the Magic.

  Heavier than 300 pounds, but extremely flexible.

  This is simply the flexible fat man who is afraid of everyone.

  After he became the No. 1 pick in 1992 and joined the Magic, he formed an inside and outside combination with Hardaway.

  This pair performed very well, and soon they reached the NBA Finals.

It's a pity that in the finals, the Magic lost 0-4 to the Houston Rockets and missed the championship.

  In this regard, O'Neill is very sorry.

  Because he feels that in addition to himself, the attack power of other players in the team is very average.

  But Hardaway didn't think so. He felt that O'Neal played too badly in the finals and was completely fooled by "Big Dream" Olajuwon.

  If you ignore the inside factor, the outside line you lead definitely has the upper hand.

  Since the defeat in the finals, a rift has arisen between the pair.

  In 1996, O'Neal left the Magic to join the Los Angeles Lakers with a center tradition.

  O’Neal told the media that the reason he came to the Lakers is very simple, that is, to win the championship.

  Although there are factors for Jordan's second comeback in the Chicago Bulls, the Lakers do have many better players.

  What O’Neal did not expect is that one of the best high school players in NBA history, Kobe Bryant, has fulfilled that agreement and is waiting for his arrival in the Los Angeles Lakers.

   That year, Kobe graduated from high school and directly participated in the NBA draft. He was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall pick in the first round, and then exchanged with the Lakers' Divac and came to Los Angeles.

  Look, this is fate.

  A promise that no one may remember back then turned out to be a reality in the future. It can be seen that there is providence in the dark.

  The year O'Neal joined the Lakers, the year Kobe became a rookie, the two began to work together.

  At that time, O'Neal was the big brother, and Kobe was just a little brother.

  O'Neal recklessly showed his dominance at the basket on the court, and Kobe also showed his extraordinary talent and potential on many occasions.

  In 1997, Bryant won the All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest. In 1998, Bryant was selected as the starting lineup for the All-Star Game and became the youngest All-Star player in history.

  From that time on, Bryant began to be mentioned at the same time as O’Neal.

  This pair of inside and outside lines is hailed as an "OK combination" by fans.

  Before "Zen Master" Phil Jackson came to the Lakers, O'Neal and Kobe played more alone, so although the Lakers could make the playoffs every year, they could not achieve satisfactory results.

  Even if both are talented players, if they can’t maintain consistency with each other, then they can’t succeed.

  For the Lakers' predicament, old Buss, then general manager of the Lakers, thought of Phil Jackson.

  Jackson made the Bulls Dynasty in one hand. In his hands, Michael Jordan, Scott Pippen and Dennis Rodman formed the famous trident of the alliance.

  In fact, Pippen and Rodman had a bad relationship before, but under Jackson's rule, when Rodman came to Chicago, the two quickly shook hands and made peace.

  In this way, the Bulls who were thinking about it immediately became the best team in the league.

  Considering this, Buss is very sincere in asking Jackson to come out.

  In order to show his sincerity, he even specially invited Jackson to come and sit at home.

  Jackson, who was still vacillating, made a decision immediately after seeing the coquettish and beautiful Jenny Buss at the family banquet of the old Bath house.

  Of course, he still agreed with pretentious consideration after a period of time.

  In 1999, Jackson's first season coaching the Lakers, he approached O'Neal and Kobe as soon as he arrived on the team.

   Jackson said: "Kobe, you are still young, the future is yours, but now, the team must identify a core player, I think that player is Shaquille O'Neal."

  O'Neal glanced at Jackson coyly, then looked sideways at Kobe's reaction.

   Kobe angrily said: "Why can't it be me?!"

  Jackson faintly replied: "Because I have a championship ring, you don't. When will you have a championship ring, when can you question my approach."

   Kobe was subdued on the spot.

  In the subsequent press conference, Jackson announced in front of many media that the absolute core of the Lakers is O'Neal, and the team's offense and defense must be based on O'Neal. Of course, Kobe is also an indispensable part of the team.

  O'Neal is very satisfied with Jackson's way of stabilizing the military's morale.

  He sang praises to Jackson after the press conference.

  "He is our mentor and leader. He will lead us to win the championship! I believe him."

   Although Kobe was a little unconvinced, he was still young after all, and Jackson's aloof status made Kobe had to accept a tactical arrangement with O'Neal as the absolute core.

  Since then, O'Neal also made some remarks to Kobe.

   "There is no contradiction between Kobe and I. Although we are not good friends, we are teammates fighting side by side."

  It was this statement that made Kobe really stand on the side of Jackson and O’Neal.

   "OK combination" is really on the right track.

  In training, Jackson brought the triangle offensive tactics, which gave Kobe ample room for full play.

The   OK combination also broke the psychological barrier, gradually grinding and forming a chemical reaction.

  In 2000, Jackson's second season in charge, the Lakers won the NBA championship.

  In this season, the OK combination performed very tacitly.

   Jackson said in an interview after the championship that the combination of O'Neal and Kobe is of great significance to the Lakers. Without them, the Lakers would not be able to succeed. He even said that O'Neal and Kobe are indispensable to the Lakers.

   Jackson’s remarks made O'Neal and Kobe very happy, after all, they are both the core of the team.

  So, Jackson’s ability to coax people is first-rate, which is why Jenny Buss fell.

  In 2001 and 2002, the Lakers won consecutive championships.

  Three consecutive championships made people realize that as long as there is an OK combination, the Lakers can win.

  However, there is no permanent banquet in the world.

  As the Lakers lost to the Spurs and Pistons in the playoffs, the Lakers dynasty collapsed.

  Jackson announced his resignation on June 18, 2004.

  Next, O'Neal traveled east to Miami, and the OK group was officially disbanded.

  Kobe stayed and proved his ability to lead the team alone.

  O’Neal teamed up with Wade to form a new duo inside and outside.

  On the second day of the game against the Pacers, the Cavaliers came to Miami.

  The sun, beach and beauty here have somewhat relieved some fatigue.

  On the day, Silas did not arrange training, so that the players can get enough rest time.

  But in fact, none of the Cavaliers’ players rested. They got up early on the second day of their arrival in Miami and came to the beach for a morning jog.

  If you were playing on the beach that day, you might see such a scene.

  A group of sturdy young people topless, wearing only a pair of sports shorts, running on the warm beach by the sea, full of strong hormones.

  And it is like a strip of mature cucumber, which swings up and down with the movement of running, the amplitude is larger or smaller, which arouses a lot of sassy people around.

  The team atmosphere of the Cavaliers is very good.

  The second battle back to back.

  Miami Heat.

  This is their first game of the season, and they must have worked hard to get a good start at home.

  It is very unfavorable for the Cavaliers that O'Neal, who was squeezed out by Kobe, must prove his strength in Miami, so this game is a very severe test for the inside of the Cavaliers.

  Before the game, Wade took the initiative to run in front of Shentong and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Shentong.

  "Shin, thank you for your training camp, I can't wait to beat you on the field!"

  Shen Tong smiled and said, “For you, I’m afraid it’s a little difficult. After all, you’ve never beaten me in the entire training camp.”

  "There are always exceptions to everything. Today is the first time."

"I'm waiting for you."

  The dialogue was tense, but the two of them were smiling.

After the hug, Shen Tong turned around.

  James: o(╥﹏╥)o, without me, the boat of friendship overturned.

  The starting lineups arranged by both sides in this game are:

   Cavaliers: Center: Ilgaskas, power forward: Gooden, small forward: James, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Wagner;

  Heat: Center: O'Neal, power forward: Haslem, small forward: Eddie Jones, shooting guard: Wade, point guard: Damon Jones.

  Being able to partner with O'Neal in the second season is something that Wade can't even dream of.

  For O'Neill, the humble character Wade has plenty of potential and is a good partner for him.

  At this moment, Wade is just a low-key young man, not the greasy 9-pointer man.

  The rookie season 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals fully demonstrated his potential.

  Wade's goal in the new season is to go to the next level, 20+5+5 is his goal.

  Although O'Neal's performance has declined last season, the Lakers are still able to average 21.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.5 blocks per game in the internal and external troubled Lakers.

  Although this pair is not as good as the OK combination at its peak, but looking at the entire league, only Yao Ming and McGrady’s Yao Mai combination can be compared.

  Before the start of the game, the Lanshen Space refreshed the latest missions.

  {

  Main mission: Reach out to the world

  Task description: "Qi" originates from human innate endowment and can depend on acquired cultivation. After opening the bloodline of the basket god, and then through the beating of the spirit and the time house, the host's antagonistic ability has been greatly improved, and it has a magnificent atmosphere that swallows thousands of miles! In the face of O'Neal's defense like a copper wall and an iron wall, you have to meet the men, show your proud style, forcefully pull the mountain out of the world, and knock down this huge mountain!

  Task requirements: When O’Neal is on the court, complete at least three dunks

  Main line reward: Spiritual Deed: Shark Giant Boots (Purple Epic)

  Task status: pending

  }

  This task

  It seems a bit difficult.

  This means that you have to fly in front of O'Neill at least three times, and have to complete the concentrated goal.

  It's still two if you can't finish it. If this is hit by O'Neill's elbow, it may be half of your life.

  But look at the mainline rewards.

  Wow, after the wedding dress magical skill combines all the previous props, a new purple epic prop is in front of you.

  Moreover, this item is still a foot equipment that Shentong has never obtained.

  Forget it~www.ltnovel.com~ Let it go!

  Unsuccessful, you will become benevolent.

  The players of both sides stand still.

  As the referee’s whistle sounded, the game officially began!

  O'Neal deserves to be the most flexible fat man. In the face of a big Z who is taller than himself, O'Neal jumped higher to win the ball for the Heat.

  O'Neal, who won the jump ball, took the domineering step and wandered all the way to the basket.

  Big Z pushed hard, but still couldn't shake O'Neill's position.

   Wade dribbled the ball to the outside line, immediately raised the ball with both hands, and dropped the ball into the penalty area.

After getting the ball, O'Neal didn't look at anyone at all. He jumped up, turned around in the air, dunked the ball with a very aggressive and fierce one, and dunked the ball with one hand!

  Big Z did not even dare to reach out to cover the ball.

  O'Neal opened his hand after scoring and ran to his own half.

  His action seemed to say: Look, I am a big shark, no one can prevent me, the Lakers let me go is the worst decision! And I, here, will take Miami to the throne of highest glory!
