Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 50 Competing with Team Leading Ability
At this time, Iverson seemed a little struggling to block the defense with his body, and he couldn't keep up with his pace.

Kobe had the opportunity to take advantage of Iverson's unsteady footing and directly break through for a layup, but he suddenly found that Byron Scott, who was outside the three-point line from the bottom corner, was open.

So, with a beautiful direct pass, the ball was passed to Scott's hands.

Scott bent his knees and started with a three-pointer.Although he is a few years old, the long-range shooting sight is still there. After the basketball crossed a high parabola, it went hollow into the net smoothly.

"28:19", the Lakers widened the point difference to as much as nine points in the blink of an eye.

"Kobe! Didn't you say you were going to challenge me one-on-one? Why did you suddenly change the pass?!"

Iverson walked over quickly and asked angrily.

"Leading the team to win is more proof of personal strength."

Kobe smiled and responded with a few words.

"Okay, that's what you said, whoever loses has to take off his clothes and run around the stadium naked."

Iverson smiled confidently. He was originally a point guard. He only changed to a shooting guard because of his strong scoring ability.

"It's a word."

Kobe and Iverson high-five.

In fact, the reason why Kobe is like this is because he found that his offensive ability and Iverson's offensive ability can be regarded as half a catty match.

In addition, the reason why Zhou Yu is highly valued by Harris is because of his strong overall view and good passing awareness. If he can connect his teammates well in this game, his hope of becoming the team leader will greatly increase.

In the subsequent games, Iverson also strengthened his passing assists. Compared with Kobe's well-regulated passing, Iverson's passing was more weird and tricky, and sometimes even his teammates couldn't react.

In the second quarter, Kobe and Iverson's assists rose sharply. Kobe sent a total of 7 assists, and Iverson sent 8 assists, but there were 3 turnovers.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides became "51:48", and the Lakers still temporarily led the 76ers with a three-point advantage.

After the first two quarters, Kobe and Iverson had double-doubles at the same time. Kobe scored 21 points and 10 assists, while Iverson scored 22 points and 11 assists.

During the intermission, Zhou Yu quietly approached Harris and suggested in a low voice:
"Coach, in the third quarter, shouldn't Kobe come down and have a good rest, and O'Neal and I will go up and play."

"No, I'm still going to put Kobe on the court in the third quarter."

Harris shook his head, speaking firmly.

"Coach, can we stop joking, are you going to let Kobe play the whole game?"

Zhou Yu said in disbelief.

"Why not play the whole game, if you want to become a real superstar and the core of the team, you must have the ability to play the whole game."

Harris spoke earnestly.

Zhou Yu nodded subconsciously. Harris is right. As the core of the team, he must have the ability to play a full game.The situation on the field changes rapidly. Once the own team is difficult to open the situation, it is necessary for the core players to come forward, or even fight from the beginning to the end.

It's just that he was a little worried about Kobe's physical strength. After all, Kobe had never played for so long, and he was still the number one core.

"Kobe, is the third quarter acceptable?"

Zhou Yu walked up to Kobe, patted his shoulder, and asked with concern.

"No problem, I don't feel tired at all playing against Iverson."

Kobe said calmly while pouring mineral water into his mouth.

Seeing him sweating profusely and panting, Zhou Yuzhun knew that he was deliberately trying to be brave, so he immediately said:

"Brother, in the third quarter, remember to break less and pass more. If you want to attack, use fadeaway jumpers to score more. This can save energy."

"Wang, I see, thank you for reminding me."

Kobe nodded, eyes full of gratitude.

"Mr. Chamberlain, judging from the first two quarters, Kobe and Iverson's performances are comparable. They are both the absolute core of the team and outstanding representatives of the 96 rookies. Do you think there is anything they need to improve?"

The narrator George asked with great interest.

"What Kobe needs to improve is breakthrough ability, and what Iverson needs to improve is shooting ability."

Chamberlain pointed out while seeing blood.

"Breakthrough or shooting ability, which do you think is more important?"

George continued.

"For players with better physical fitness, breakthrough ability is more important, because players can break into the inside to score; for players with average or poor physical fitness, shooting ability is more important. If they Without a stable shooting ability, it is difficult to have room to play on the court."

Chamberlain analyzed objectively.

"Well, you're quite right."

George nodded with great benefit.

After the intermission, the third quarter started immediately.

Seeing that Kobe was still on the court, Iverson naturally refused to leave the court easily, and the competition between the two sides continued.

Kobe, who knew he was exhausted, followed Zhou Yu's advice, reduced the number of breakthroughs with the ball, and used half-turns and shoulder-shaking fakes to frequently fall back and shoot jump shots.

Coincidentally, Iverson thought of going with him, and after shaking off some space, he also frequently shot back jumpers.

But the sad reminder is that due to excessive physical exertion in the first two quarters, the shooting percentage of the two plummeted and they slammed the basket.

In contrast, Kobe's shooting percentage was slightly better than Iverson's due to the cheats given to him by Zhou Yu, basically maintaining around 35%, while Iverson dropped directly to around 30%.

O'Neill sat on the sidelines and watched sleepily, covering his mouth with his hands and yawning non-stop.

"Brother Shark, can you sleep through such an exciting game?"

Zhou Yu bumped O'Neill with his elbow and said.

"What's exciting is nothing more than rookies pecking at each other."

O'Neill snorted coldly, dismissively.

"Brother Shark, don't you think Kobe's strong fighting spirit is worth learning from?"

Zhou Yu instilled chicken soup for the soul.

"A talented player like me doesn't need to play hard like a mediocre player. I only need to make a shot at a critical moment to determine the outcome of the game."

O'Neill held the back of his head with his hands, with a confident expression on his face.

Zhou Yu's heart sank when he heard this, thinking back then, O'Neal wasted training because of his excessive self-confidence, which caused his body to gain too much weight, his peak period ended early, and he had to wander around many NBA teams in the end.

"Brother Shark, do you know that there are a lot of pretty girls asking if Kobe is single recently?"

Zhou Yu lowered his voice and spoke in a serious manner.

"Oh? Really? Is he so attractive?"

O'Neill immediately widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

"All the beautiful sisters say that Kobe knows how to be romantic, and he often gets up at four o'clock in the middle of the night to look at the stars in the sky."

Zhou Yu explained seriously.

"My God, is he crazy? He got up at four o'clock in the middle of the night to look at the stars. At that time, I was still sleeping in bed like a dead pig."

O'Neill opened his mouth wide and exclaimed.

　Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass.
