The Fifth Point Guard

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 hand.

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.

As she saw her idol, Sao Nian's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Just like when looking for the 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 Kobe worships.

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

Hardaway's indifference kept Kobe from admiring anyone again.

And he did not expect that a few minutes after that, he would meet another person who was destined to change his life.

Varney... 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 still doesn't know that in the future his heart will be blown up by this Sao Nian from time to time.

O'Neill walked to Kobe's side, and he saw Sao Nian staring at "Penny" out of the locker room without even saying hello to his admirers.

Kobe's disappointment and embarrassment at the moment were written on his biting lip. Although O'Neal did not yet 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 caught the eye was 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 five minutes were mainly Kobe talking about his basketball dream in front of O'Neal.

When bidding 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, taking 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.

Over 300 pounds of weight, but unusually flexible.

This is simply the flexible fat guy that everyone is afraid of.

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

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

Unfortunately, in the finals, the Magic lost to the Houston Rockets 0-4 and missed the championship.

In this regard, O'Neill is very sorry.

Because he feels that in addition to himself, the attacking 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, there has been a gap 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 his reason for coming to the Lakers is simple, 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.

See? This is fate.

A promise that no one might remember back then? Turns out to be a reality in the future? It can be seen in the dark? There is providence of its own.

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

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

O'Neal recklessly showed his dominance at the basket on the court? 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 the "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, Sr. 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 strongest team in the league.

With this in mind, Bass very sincerely asked 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 talked to 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 said angrily: "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.

At 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 was 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, and he will take us to win the championship! I believe him."

Although Kobe was a little unconvinced, he was still young, coupled with Jackson's detached status, so Kobe had to accept the tactical arrangement with O'Neal as the absolute core.

Since then, O'Neal also made some remarks on 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" has truly embarked on formality.

......

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

After the OK combination broke the psychological barrier, it gradually grinds and has 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.

Therefore, 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.

With the Lakers losing to the Spurs and Pistons in the playoffs, the Lakers dynasty collapsed.

Jackson announced his resignation on June 18, 2004.

Then, 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 with the Pacers, the Cavaliers came to Miami.

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

On that 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 arriving in Miami and came to the beach for a morning jog.

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

A group of healthy young people topless, wearing only a pair of sports shorts, are running on the warm beach by the sea, exuding strong hormones all over their bodies.

And because of the strips of ripe cucumbers, they swing 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 be struggling to get a good start at home.

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

Before the game, Wade voluntarily ran 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 am afraid it is a little difficult. After all, you have 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 conversation was tense, but the two of them were smiling.

After the hug, Shen Tong turned around.

James: o(╥﹏╥)o, 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 his good partner.

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

The rookie season's 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, it is probably only Yao Ming and McGrady's Yao Mai combination that can be compared.

......

Before the start of the game, the Blue God Space refreshed the latest mission.

{

Main Quest: 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!

Requirement: Complete at least three dunks when O'Neal is on the court~www.ltnovel.com~

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

Task status: pending

}

This task...

It seems a little difficult.

This means that he has to fly in front of O'Neill at least three times, and he has to complete the goal of concentration.

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

But look at the mainline rewards.

Wow, after the wedding dress magical skill has integrated all the previous props, a purple epic low-level prop is in front of you.

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

Forget it, let it go!

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

......

Both players 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'Neal'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 domineering and ferocious one, and dunked the ball with one hand!

Big Z didn't even dare to reach out to cover the ball.

After scoring, O'Neal opened his big hand 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!
