My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 96 Penny Hardaway (please recommend, please collect!)

"Brother, long time no see." O'Neill and Hardaway met on the court and greeted each other with hugs.

"Shaq, your recent performance is really great! Leading the league and double-killing Houston, I'm happy for you." Hardaway was sincerely happy for O'Neal, who finally defeated his inner demon Olajuwon.

"You are also very good. It is not easy to lead a team with a single core!"

"Come on, Shaq, the team management questioned me yesterday, why the team's record is not as good as last year." Penny Hardaway shook his head, and he couldn't understand the team's management at all.

"Are they serious?"

"Seriously, they told me I should average 27 points a game and win 60 games, which is what Jordan did."

"Don't take the opinions of these idiots to heart, they're just a bunch of snows." O'Neill was speechless.

Anfernee Hardaway secretly thought, you are not on the team, of course you can ignore them, but I can't help myself.

Do you want to give up your basketball philosophy? Hardaway was struggling, especially after the team management saw Kobe's performance, they were even more jealous and forced themselves to get better data.

From the perspective of the leadership, an 18-year-old high school rookie can play so well. You, Jordan's successor, who averaged just 20 points per game must be paddling.

A layman guides an expert, and the harvest is often a tragedy.

Kobe knew that Penny in his previous life was under such pressure and forced to play a game that was not his style, which caused cartilage damage in his left knee and required surgery.

After the operation, Hardaway needs at least four weeks of recuperation after surgery. However, 20 days later, due to the team's poor record, Hardaway was forced to play early, and Hardaway injured his left knee again after only playing one game after his comeback, and had to rest for another three weeks.

As a result, after he came back, he played a game and injured his left knee again, and then he came back and was injured again. The pain of left knee tendonitis has been with him for the rest of the season. He played 59 games with this injury, still Lead the team to the playoffs.

It can be said that this year is a turning point in Hardaway's career. If he hadn't been so competitive, if he hadn't listened to the management's game with injuries, Hardaway should have achieved even more legendary achievements.

Kobe couldn't help using the system's query function on Hardaway.

"System, check Anfernee Hardaway's capabilities."

"The host used the ability check function on Anfernee Hardaway, and the use was successful."

"Anfernee Hardaway, basketball player, position matching degree PG100%, SG100%, SF90%, PF50%, C50%."

"Physical fitness S-, layup skills A+, dunk skills A-, mid-range shooting skills A, three-point skills B-, ball handling skills S, organizational skills S-, defensive skills A."

"Current physical condition, weak, extremely high risk of injury, serious potential injury to the left knee."

"The ability is used up, and the cooling time is 7 days."

Three historical-level abilities, like Grant Hill, deserves to be a man who can beat Jordan, except for three-pointers, he has almost no weaknesses. The 123rd position can be perfectly adapted, showing the comprehensiveness of Penny.

Kobe ignited the fighting spirit, such an opponent is interesting.

With a height of 2.01 meters and a weight of 88 kg, he has an excellent wingspan, fast movement speed, excellent jumping ability, and extremely high core control ability. The only weak point is his strength.

With a thin body and lack of muscle protection, some joints will inevitably be injured under continuous high-intensity confrontation.

Hardaway is already on the verge of injury, and if he doesn't rest for a period of time, every game he plays may lead to serious injuries.

The game was broadcast live by a local Orlando TV station, not all over the United States, and the invited speakers were not very well-known. The Magic team lacks historical precipitation, and they are also mainly agricultural, and they also lack some local celebrities.

As the game was about to start, the Orlando Arena was booed and fans held up some insulting signs.

"Shaq Go Back to Los Angeles"

"Soft Egg Shaq"

"He doesn't deserve 120 million"

O'Neill's face was a bit dark. The young man couldn't accept the fans who loved him so much a few months ago. After only one summer, they sweared at him again and again.

Kobe patted O'Neal on the back.

"Stop their mouths with performance and make them cheer for you again."

"I will."

The Lakers' starting lineup remains unchanged. Although Horry's performance in the last game was very impressive, at least Harris has not changed his mind about starting.

Putting a power forward with a salary of 7 million on the sidelines is too extravagant.

The Magic's starting lineup is PG Anfernee - Hardaway SG Nick - Anderson SF Dennis - Scott PF Hoss - Grant C Ronnie - Sekali.

Nick Anderson is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. He is a standard shooting guard. In both the 91-92 and 92-93 seasons, he averaged 19.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. With the addition of Hardaway, he handed over part of the ball, and his data has declined, but his shooting is the team's outside protection. His average three-point shots per game in the past three seasons are 5.7, 5.6, and 6.4 times. , is a very prolific three-point shooter.

Dennis Scott is 2.03 meters and 104 kilograms. Last season, he scored 17.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He averaged 7.7 three-pointers per game and could hit 3.3 times, leading the league. However, with the departure of O'Neal, he lost the restraint of the inside, and his three-point shots and shooting percentage plummeted, from 42.5% of 3.3 goals to 39.4% of 2.2 goals this season.

Hoss Grant is 2.08 meters, the starting power forward of the Bulls' first dynasty, an All-Star substitute in 1994, and was selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team for 4 consecutive seasons from 1992 to 1996. Is a very comprehensive defensive power forward. In order to prove to Jordan and Pippen that he could win the championship without them, he resolutely left the Bulls in 1994 and joined Orlando. Then defeated the Bulls in the first season and entered the finals.

Ronnie Sekali, a 2.11-meter Lebanese big center, has served as the core of the inside tactics after O'Neal's departure in the Magic this season. Under Hardaway's feed, he scored 17.3 points and 9.5 rebounds. The best performance of his career. It is the second scoring point of this Magic team. The Magic signed him for only 2 years and 7.75 million US dollars, which can be described as high quality and low price.

On the Magic's bench, they also signed Gerald Wilkins this year, a 1.98-meter forward swingman who acts as the sixth man. Averaged 10.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Judging from the lineup on paper, this is indeed a lineup with luxurious equipment, but they have never achieved excellent records and performances.

Leaving O'Neal's inside involvement, all pitchers struggled a bit.

At critical moments, Hardaway rarely stood up and led the team to victory.

This will lead to a decline in the cohesion of the team, and there may be only a thin line between all the people fighting against each other.
