When he was young, Kobe had a very hot temper.

After hearing Allen Iverson's words, he immediately became angry.

Take him with Tyronn Luby?!

yes!

He admits it!

Allen Iverson was very strong back then!

So strong that the Lakers need Tyronn Lue to specifically guard him.

However, this does not mean that Tyronn Lue can be compared with him!

Is this comparable?!

Apart from anything else, just looking at their annual salary, the two of them are not on the same level!

Allen Iverson's words can be considered an insult to Kobe.

Kobe gritted his teeth and stared at Allen Iverson, and said in a deep voice: "If you have the ability, let's see who scores more points!"

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, Kobe has to say that Allen Iverson has a very strong scoring ability!

Besides, according to what Allen Iverson just said, let's see if we can guard against him.

This is quite unfair to him.

His defensive ability is not bad.

But the strongest thing is his scoring ability.

Isn’t that putting the cart before the horse when it comes to defense?!

If you want to compare, you have to compare your offensive abilities!

However, Kobe's words played right into Allen Iverson's hands!

Seeing the furious Kobe in front of him, Allen Iverson felt happy.

He thought to himself: "It's really just like what Han Ning said. Such a simple provoking method has been used?!"

If Han Ning heard what Allen Iverson was saying, he would probably complain about it.

What about others?!

A year ago, you would have been worse than Kobe!

Thanks to his good training!

Allen Iverson nodded lightly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's compare!"

After saying that, Allen Iverson started to speed up and rushed towards the right side.

Kobe immediately came up to guard him.

Immediately afterwards, Allen Iverson fished the basketball back from behind with his right hand.

The basketball came to Allen Iverson's left hand.

Then he took a step back.

Put the ball together with both hands and stand up for a jump shot.

Allen Iverson's sudden stop and step back was very fast, and Kobe was not able to follow up and defend immediately.

"Swish!" sound!

The score was evened.

From this moment on, the battle between Allen Iverson and Kobe officially started.

In the next half of the game, the offenses of the Lakers and Knicks were basically completed by these two people.

The offensive efficiency of the two is basically the same.

In other words, the hit rate is about the same.

but!

The difference in scores is not small!

The two teams have been fighting until now, and the score has reached 24 to 17!

The Knicks lead by 7 points!

You know, this game just lasted less than seven minutes!

Such a score difference and such a score are rare.

Han Ning also had to admit that Kobe's touch was not bad today.

Among these 17 points, 15 were scored by Kobe.

There were only two points, which were scored by Shaquille O'Neal in his second attack after grabbing another rebound.

And what about the Knicks?

Allen Iverson scored 16 points!

This is a lot of points.

But it's only one point more than Kobe.

So where did the rest of the points come from?!

It's actually very simple!

When Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant were competing, Kurt Thomas and Mutombo, who were the starters, had only one task left.

That's rebounding!

At this time, Kobe only wanted to compete with Allen Iverson, and wanted to lead the Lakers to victory with his own strength.

Even when Shaquille O'Neal reached out for the ball, he subconsciously turned a blind eye.

In this way, Kurt Thomas and Mutombo don't have to worry about Shaquille O'Neal attacking with the ball.

When he's not defending Shaquille O'Neal's offense with the ball, but when he's just fighting for rebounds.

Kurt Thomas and Mutombo are much better than Shaquille O'Neal!

With the cooperation of these two people, the Knicks grabbed most of the rebounds.

In this way, even if Allen Iverson's offense fails to score, Kurt Thomas and Mutombo can try a second offense.

Or pass the basketball and let Allen Iverson play again.

Over time, the Knicks took more shots. Kurt Thomas and Mutombo had more shooting opportunities than Shaquille O'Neal.

Sometimes, when Allen Iverson saw an opportunity inside, he would pretend to be blocked by Kobe Bryant and pass the basketball to the basket as a "last resort".

This can not only guarantee points, but also make Kobe more excited and want to compete with him to win or lose.

In this way, the score will naturally surpass the Lakers.

The most important thing is.

Whenever Kobe wanted to pass the basketball to another teammate, Allen Iverson would say something to stimulate him from time to time.

In his rage, Kobe didn't notice these details.

Of course, this entire process is inherited from the work of Han Ning, the master of psychology.

The Knicks fans at the scene saw their home team playing so well at the beginning of the game. Every one of them became excited and began to cheer for the Knicks crazily.

On the contrary, Phil Jackson saw the clues.

He hurriedly reached out and called a timeout.

"beep!"

Both players returned to their respective benches.

Shaquille O'Neal glared at Kobe with dissatisfaction.

Kobe didn't take it seriously after seeing it.

After all, in his recent memory, he led the Lakers to play well.

At least, his goals are no less than Allen Iverson's.

When Phil Jackson saw Kobe like this, he felt a surge of pressure.

With this kind of temperament, he can indeed assume the role of leader of the team sometimes.

But when he met Han Ning, he was like a catfish on a sticky board, ready to be slaughtered!

Phil Jackson came to Kobe and said in a deep voice: "Kobe, what do you think of the game you just played?!"

Hearing this, Kobe raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

But the look on his face clearly showed that what he had just done was very good.

Phil Jackson couldn't help but sigh.

Then he pointed to the data frame next to the stadium.

He said in a deep voice: "Look at the score, how far behind we are."

After hearing Phil Jackson's words, Kobe also noticed something was wrong.

When he turned around to look, his eyes suddenly widened.

His face was full of disbelief.

In his impression, the team should be similar to the Knicks.

Even if we are lagging behind, we can't lag so far behind!

But now, the facts were before his eyes, and Kobe was dumbfounded.
Chapter completed!
