Chapter 1386 Jordan VS Kobe

Chapter 1386 Jordan vs. Kobe "Kobe, what do you think? Do you want to play one-on-one?" Jordan smiled slightly. (Read novel)

Kobe's mind was immediately heated. You know, the outside world has always given him the title of Jordan II, but he doesn't want to be anyone's second generation, but wants to be Kobe I. Therefore, he worked hard. No matter what game he faced, he would try his best and never admit defeat. Unless the game whistle sounded, he would never give up. In this way, he just wanted to prove one point, that is, he is no worse than Jordan, and even better than Jordan.

But no matter when, there are always people comparing him with Jordan, and then saying that he is not as good as Jordan in some aspects, and he is not as good as Jordan in some aspects. This kind of speech makes him crazy, but he has no chance to prove it. Because, when he won the championship, Jordan had retired. And after Jordan finally came back, he was no longer as brave as he was in the past. It was already the end of the world, and the hero was old. Facing such a Jordan, if he wins, the outside world will think that it is because he is young and it is natural; if he loses, the outside world will ridicule him for not being able to beat even the old Jordan, let alone Jordan in his prime.

Such remarks are undoubtedly very deadly, especially for Kobe, it is even more intolerable. But he has no choice but to tolerate it. After all, Jordan is really old and he can no longer prove himself.

Therefore, when Jordan made these provocative remarks at this moment, Kobe's blood boiled. He knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might never have the opportunity to challenge Jordan again in his life. If he can defeat the "full state" Jordan now, it will at least be a step up for his career evaluation. In the future, there will undoubtedly be a hand in his career-he has defeated the high-spirited Jordan.

This evaluation is undoubtedly very important to Kobe. However, now is the critical moment for the team to hit the championship, and he cannot be willful. If he is entangled in a one-on-one match with Jordan, it will bring many unpredictable results to the team. After thinking about it, Kobe gritted his teeth and retreated.

Huh~~~, Phil Jackson breathed a sigh of relief.

No one knows a son better than his father, and no one knows a disciple better than his teacher. Phil Jackson knew that Jordan was provoking Kobe when he saw Jordan's expression and gesture just now. With Michael Jordan's basketball IQ, he can definitely see that the close cooperation of the "OK" combination is the current Houston Rockets cannot beat. Therefore, the only possibility to win is to split the "OK" combination. And to provoke one of them is undoubtedly the most appropriate possibility. However, as of now, the Houston Rockets' inside line facing the Great Shark O'Neal is a dish. Whether it is Yao Ming or Olajuwon, facing the Great Shark in his prime, they can only be completely defeated. Therefore, only the target is Kobe on the outside.

As for the current Houston Rockets lineup, James and Wade are far from enough in terms of strength and fame. If they want to provoke Kobe, they will only be ignored by Kobe. Only Jordan, the "God of Basketball", will make Kobe's blood boil.

But what reassures Phil Jackson is that Kobe was not provoked by Jordan.

For the team's victory, he gave up this best opportunity to challenge Jordan.

He finally matured! -- Phil Jackson was secretly pleased. If Kobe matured, the Lakers' current lineup could still be maintained.

"Hey, what's wrong, are you afraid of losing or are you too cowardly?" Jordan shouted.

The key to this game lies in the "OK" combination. If the "OK" combination is split, the Houston Rockets will see the dawn of victory. And after the split, if they defeat Kobe, the Houston Rockets will definitely win this game. Therefore, Jordan set his sights on Kobe from the beginning.

Kobe frowned. It is not his character to not fight back when provoked in person. However, Kobe glanced at Phil Jackson from the corner of his eye, thought about it, and continued to retreat with gritted teeth.

"Ha, so the so-called successor of mine is just like this. If it were me, I would never avoid the challenge. As for the team's victory, as long as every shot goes in, there will be no problem. Kobe, it seems that I still think too highly of you. You can only compete with the two rookies of our team." Jordan stretched out his index finger and shook it at Kobe.

"James, Kobe is left to you. This kind of stuff is not qualified for me to defend." Jordan shouted at James and made a gesture of switching defense at him.

Humiliation, this is naked humiliation! ——Kobe's face suddenly turned livid. Although James is known as the most powerful high school student in history and has played All-Star data this season, he is still just a rookie, a young rookie. And Jordan actually compared him with himself. If he can still tolerate this kind of humiliation, he is not Kobe.

"Michael, don't underestimate me! It's just a one-on-one duel, I'll accompany you!" Kobe came back to his senses and pointed at Jordan and yelled.

"Leave him to me. Also, give me the ball later, and watch how I shoot him to death!" Kobe shouted to Malone, Payton and others.

"Payton, this is not good!" Malone came for the championship and was about to enter the finals, but this happened. You know, one-on-one duels usually don't happen in the playoffs. After all, although the NBA is full of personal heroism, this kind of pure street basketball behavior is still despised by the head coaches of NBA teams. Therefore, it may happen occasionally in the regular season, but it will never happen in the playoffs.

As a result, today, in the seventh game of the Western Conference Finals, a duel broke out, which really surprised Malone and Payton.

"Karl, if you face such a provocation from the opponent, what will you do? I think you will definitely fight. What's more, the person who is provoking you is Jordan. It is the Jordan that Kobe wants to defeat the most!" Payton can understand Kobe's feelings.

"Then who do you think will win?" Malone thought about it and nodded.

"I don't know. According to common sense, it should be Kobe. After all, this is already the fourth quarter of the game, and he is already 42 years old. But he is Jordan after all, and I don't know what will happen in the end." Payton shook his head helplessly.

When your opponent is Jordan, everything is possible!

"Chauncey, give me the ball!" When Billups dribbled the ball across half court, Jordan hooked his finger at Billups, and Billups immediately passed the ball to Jordan. Kobe immediately stretched out his hands and stood in front of Jordan with his shoulders down.

A peak showdown is about to begin!

On one hand, there is Michael Jordan, the former "God of Basketball", who has won 6 championships and two consecutive three-peat championships. On the other hand, there is Kobe Bryant, the strongest shooting guard after Jordan and the "Little Flying Man" hailed by the media as Jordan's successor. The duel between these two is undoubtedly full of drama and suspense. Who will win?

Staples Center suddenly became quiet as Jordan began to dribble rhythmically. All the audience did not want to miss every second of today's game, which is likely to become a masterpiece of the ages.

Phil Jackson knew that everything was irreversible at this moment. If he intervened forcefully, he would have to let Kobe go off the court. But if Kobe went off the court and faced the "full state" resurrected Jordan, it would be hanging. At this time, Kobe must be on the court. Therefore, now we can only choose to believe in Kobe and hope that he can defeat Jordan, who is already 42 years old. And if Kobe can defeat Jordan in this game, then Kobe will have a qualitative leap in spirit. From now on, he will officially enter the ranks of the league's top stars.

"Hey, Jim, Kobe is going to have a one-on-one duel with Jordan! Who do you think will win?" Jeanie Buss asked curiously.

"Kobe! Jordan is old, and he can never stop the Lakers from moving forward." Jim Buss said with a fist.

Throughout the 1990s, the Los Angeles Lakers did not win a championship. Jordan finally retired, and the Lakers won three consecutive championships. Now Jordan has come back again, and the Lakers lost a championship last year. Is Jordan destined to be the Lakers' nemesis in his life? Jim Buss will never admit this. You know, last summer, he recruited Malone and Payton just to deal with the Houston Rockets who have been making great efforts in the transfer market in the past two years!

At this moment, NBA President David Stern was sitting in the box with a mysterious smile on his face. I don't know what he was thinking. For him, this peak duel between Jordan and Kobe is undoubtedly a heavy weapon to attract fans around the world. Tonight, the ratings of this game may rise by several percentage points because of the duel between Jordan and Kobe. But how to expand this situation? ——This is what David Stern wants to do most. But he has no idea.

Maybe he can ask him to see if he has any good ideas. ——David Stern glanced at Lin Feng in the first row. This young man has done amazing things today. Maybe he can help him solve this problem.

"Lin, do you think Jordan can win?" Jessica looked at Jordan and Kobe, who were on the court, and worried.

"Don't worry. Since Jordan took the initiative to provoke Kobe, Jordan will win this match! And if Jordan wins, the Houston Rockets will also win!

At this moment, the audience around the world held their breath and silently watched the two people on the court, including the referee who quietly walked away and left the court to the two. As for the other eight players on the court, they also stepped aside very tactfully. The last 6 minutes of this game belonged only to them.

Of course, if there is only one person in the world who is unhappy now, that is Shaquille O'Neal.

He was playing happily, but this happened suddenly. As a result, the world's focus is now on Jordan and Kobe, and he, the strongest center on the earth today, is completely ignored. How embarrassing for him. However, whether it is the players around him, the coach, or the fans on the scene, they all recognized Kobe's approach, so he could only stay honestly. But in the finals, I must become the MVP again.

Just as O'Neal was muttering, Jordan moved.
