My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 18 Summer League Ends

A week has passed since the game against the Chinese team, and Kobe will lead the team to two victories in the next two summer league games. After playing four outstanding performances, he gradually gained the first batch of fans.

In the third summer league game, Kobe started with a cold hand and missed consecutive shots.

But the Lakers' press and defensive counterattack tactics are still full of impact. The defense line under the leadership of Kobe is indestructible, and Kobe is like a sharp knife piercing the opponent's heart in the fast break.

Pure defense is useless. What Kobe brought to the team was the ability to transform successful defense into counterattacks. With this style of play, the Lakers' defense in the summer league has initially established dominance.

In the positional battle, Kobe, who has a bad touch, acted more as the initiator in the offense, holding the ball for pick-and-rolls. After the breakthrough, Kobe chose to jump up and distribute the ball outside instead of going hard.

The Lakers shooters who played abnormally against the Chinese team seemed to have opened up in this game, catching Kobe's points and throwing them into the basket one after another. Fisher made 3 of 7 three-pointers and Bruce Bowen made 4 of 8 three-pointers.

Their brilliant performance also created enough space for the team's offense. Kobe, who felt warmer, hit the basket continuously in the third quarter, twisted his body in the air and threw the ball into the basket. The Lakers also easily won a game from an overweight defender.

Kobe scored "only" 21 points in this game, but he had 11 assists when he dominated the ball.

In Game 4, the Lakers played against the Phoenix Suns.

After Kobe made two consecutive three-pointers at the start of the game, he realized that today's touch was hot, and he decided to attack by himself in this game!

Kobe dominated the ball in the first half, first with the ball pick-and-roll attack, with the help of the high-quality screens of Ben Wallace and Tyrese, after gaining space, he directly shot a jumper.

After the opponent adopted a double-team defense, Kobe turned to an offense without the ball, making an air cut and making a three-pointer. After catching Fisher's pass, Kobe seemed unable to stop, making difficult shots one after another.

At the beginning of the second half, the Phoenix Suns could only strengthen the aggressiveness of the defense. Although the tough defense limited Kobe's shooting percentage, it created many opportunities for Kobe to make free throws. Kobe made every free throw steadily.

It was another easy three-quarter clock-out. Kobe played super efficiently, 13 of 19, including 6 of 8 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. Easily scored 41 points.

The summer league was over and he won the championship smoothly. Kobe returned to his Los Angeles apartment and heard a familiar voice in his ear.

"Ding."

"Restart Life Branch 1: Win the Summer League Championship Complete"

"The host asks a question, does it replace the ability to improve to answer the question?"

"Of course! Tell me, where did Jaina go?" Kobe finally waited until this day, and he was urgently worried about Jaina's safety. The daughter who inherited his Mamba will is the love of his heart. Kobe thinks about Gianna every day after his rebirth. If they didn't take that plane that day, what would the story be like?

"Gianna Bryant was born on May 2, 2006. On January 26, 2020, Gianna died in a helicopter crash in California at the age of 13." The voice of the system came from an emotionless voice.

"Fuck, I'm sitting next to her. What I want to ask is, is there no way to save her?" Kobe was a little anxious.

"Analyzing"

"Solution: After the host completes the life restart main task, the system can be transferred to anyone for use. After completing the life S+ achievement, the host can restart Jaina's life."

"YSE! It's great!" Kobe cheered, overjoyed and saddened. The thing I've been worrying about is finally resolved, so Kobe Bryant has to make enough achievements for his daughter and for her daughter to be born again! Is the life of S+ right? The achievement of the 5 champions in the previous life was S-, so in this life, how many championships do I have to win before Jaina can be reborn? Anyway, the more the better, Kobe Bryant is ready.

The neon lights of Los Angeles are shining at night, sitting on the street and blowing the summer wind, Kobe can't help but wonder, so who restarted my life?

. . . . . . .

Bryant, who scored a total of 124 points in four games, did not attract much attention from the basketball media. Because at this time, the "Dream Three" team has been successfully formed, aiming at the Atlanta Olympic men's basketball championship.

The Dream Team didn't lose its luster after its biggest star, Michael Jordan, turned it down. Although the stars in the team are not as dazzling as the Dream Team 1, the Dream Team 3 has almost all the superstars who are at their peak in the league, including five MVP-level players, and the lineup is still very luxurious.

The Dream Team includes the three major centers of the year, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, and Shaq O'Neal, plus the world-recognized best powerful power forwards Karl Malone and Charles Barkley. The year team is as good as it gets.

The perimeter players are composed of Penny Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, Reggie Miller, Scottie Pippen, Gary Payton, Mickey Richmond, John Stockton and a group of young and vigorous players.

The lineup of players is luxurious, and the coach is no less. Lenny Wilkens is the head coach of this dream team.

He is the first thousand-win coach in NBA history, and he is also one of the first players who can be both a player and a coach. His player career was as exciting as his coaching career. He was one of the representatives of all-round guards from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. He once set an average of more than 17 points, more than 5 rebounds and more than 8 assists per game for six consecutive seasons. amazing record. In his 15-year career, he averaged 20+5+9 per game in the peak seasons, 9-time All-Star, 1-time assist leader, one of the top 50 superstars, and a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (inducted as both a player and a coach).

Kobe looked at the star players who ruled the game on TV, and he couldn't help feeling a little itchy. He really wanted the season to start as soon as possible, so that he could compete with the top players.

The US team in later generations has fallen to the point where it only finished seventh in the Men's Basketball World Cup. It perfectly confirms what Kobe said, don't think you are stable.

And this Dream Team 3 seems to be really stable. There are too many legendary stars on both ends of the offense and defense who can dominate the game, and with the legendary coach Lenny Wilkens in charge, it is difficult for them to mess up.

The result of the game was also as Kobe expected. The Dream Team was the best in the Atlanta Olympics, winning more than 20 points in each game.

First they beat Argentina by 30 points, then Angola by 33 points and Lithuania by 22 points.

In the last group match, the United States beat the Chinese men's basketball team 133-70.
