My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 49 The Big Three

Houston is the largest city in Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States, and the largest economic center along the Gulf of Mexico.

Houston is known worldwide for its energy sources (especially oil), aviation industry, and canals. The Port of Houston is the sixth largest port in the world and the busiest port in the United States. The tonnage of foreign ships ranks first, and it ranks second regardless of nationality. Second only to New York City for Fortune 500 headquarters. Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the world's largest and most important concentration of research and treatment institutions. Houston also has the lowest cost of living and housing prices among the 27 major U.S. metropolitan areas with a population of more than 1.7 million.

The Urban Institute, a think tank, describes Houston as "one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse metropolises in the country." Houston's diversity is driven by high levels of immigration, which it attributes to its relatively low cost of living, strong job market, proximity to Latin America, and role as a center for refugee resettlement. Houston is now known as a center of African-American political power, education, economic prosperity and culture, and is often referred to as the next black mecca.

And Olajuwon's influence on Houston is huge. As soon as the Lakers and his party got off the plane, many fans put up banners.

"Sweep Out" plus a pig's head.

"You are not as good as Iverson"

"Houston Without the Sea"

Kobe and O'Neal looked at each other, these fans are really

"Guys, don't be affected, they are earning the No. 1 position in the Western Conference with us. These things are here to disturb the mind." Rambis hurriedly stood up. He was worried that a large number of rookies on the team had not experienced this kind of scene and were affected interference.

Kobe didn't care, but he saw that O'Neal's neck was thicker, and this game would be very interesting.

In the hotel where the Lakers stayed at night, O'Neal found Kobe.

"Kobe, help me win this game." O'Neal looked serious. Olajuwon had become his demon. He didn't know why he had hope for an 18-year-old rookie. He couldn't even do the top penny. He actually believed that the 18-year-old boy could do it.

But O'Neal was born with a keen intuition. He felt that Kobe might really help him win this game. O'Neal wanted to win Olajuwon too much. With the laurels in hand.

O'Neal and Kobe talked late, and they brought Eddie Jones, Bruce Bowen, and Campbell over. Several starters plan to play a game that is very different from the past.

There is no chance of winning if you fall into the position with the Big Three. They have countless ways to disintegrate your defense one by one. On the defensive end, they have Olajuwon on top. Referees often give privileges to these historically high stars, and they have rich experience to perform some small actions.

To win, you have to run.

In this game, Kobe will lead the Lakers to fight and run.

. . . . . .

"The first player to play is our MVP power forward, Rebound Hill, Charles Wade Barkley!" Barkley, with a fierce face, bounced onto the field.

"Now playing, from the University of Houston, the glider, Clyde Drexler!"

"The finale is our King of Houston, Big Dream, Hakeem Olajuwon!"

The Compaq Center cheered like thunder, and their Big Three gave them infinite strength to cheer.

"The formation is not small." Fisher ran to Bryant's side and said to him.

"Relax, we're going to have a lot more big scenes than this in the future."

The Lakers' starting lineup for this game has not been adjusted. The starting lineup of the Mosaic team is PG Matt - Maloney SG Mario - Elie SF Clyde - Drexler PG Charles - Barkley C Hakeem - Olajuwon.

Before the midline jump ball, Olajuwon said to O'Neal, "Boy, are you going to be swept by me in the West this time?"

O'Neill's neck became thicker again, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. This old hooligan is really disgusting. O'Neal really wanted to win the first center position, but this Olajuwon blocked him like a mountain for many years.

Olajuwon easily hopped the ball away in front of distracted O'Neal, Matt Maloney had the ball half court, and it was passed to Drexler at the top of the key.

Drexler handed the ball to Hakeem Olajuwon at the basket, and the legendary center started the showdown.

Olajuwon knows that the current O'Neal's physical fitness can suppress him, but Olajuwon is not empty at all. He has never been a player who relies entirely on his body.

Olajuwon holds the ball with his back, his shoulders shake to the left, but he quickly turns to the right and cuts in.

O'Neal didn't hesitate and blocked Olajuwon's way forward. But Dameng turned around again deftly with his feet, turned left again and turned over to shoot a jump shot.

O'Neal's center of gravity has retreated, and there is no way to interfere with Olajuwon's fadeaway jumper, and the ball crashes into the net.

O'Neal picked up the ball quickly, exited the baseline, and threw the ball vigorously forward.

Bryant was already running forward when Olajuwon made the shot. Bryant jumped up in the open half court to receive the pass from O'Neal, took three steps to the inside and flew the ball into the basket.

"Boom."

"Hey, your little brother has two brushes. But can this kind of stealing win the game?" Olajuwon said to O'Neal beside him.

"It's better than the old guys who come to hug your thighs by your side."

"What, do you want to beat Shaq?" Barkley's eyes widened. The proud and arrogant Jazz disliked hearing about hugging his thighs and joining the enemy.

"Before you came in, they were champions." Bryant, running back to the halfcourt, broke into the conversation.

Barkley couldn't say a word for a long time, and his heart was racing.

Barkley decided to use his performance on the court to fight back against this kid. This kid is sharp-tongued, and he might not be able to please him with his words.

Barkley catches the ball at the elbow, faces Campbell, and plays with his back. Campbell was pushed back again and again by Barkley, and Barkley hit the throw after hitting the penalty area.

"Boy, did you see that? This is the power of the great Sir Barkley." Barkley made a bodybuilding move to show off his biceps, and turned to look at Kobe. Kobe sprinted to the frontcourt with the ball.

Matt Maloney followed Kobe closely. He knew that if the ball missed, he would be repaired by some old hooligans in the locker room after the game.

Bryant didn't care about Matt Maloney's defense, and two big cross dribbles passed him, and Drexler came back to defend him.

Kobe was not greedy for the ball, and passed the ball to Eddie Jones outside the three-point line without looking at the pass.

Eddie Jones hit the ball and hit a three-pointer!
