Coach Lee

Chapter 219 Who is the protagonist?
The first Christmas game was so exciting, and the second Christmas game is even more exciting.

When many viewers switched to NBC TV, the first quarter of the game here had just finished.

"Wow!"

"Yeah! go! go! go!"

"Let's go! Lakers!"

The Great Western Forum Arena boiled up, and all the Los Angeles fans stood up and cheered enthusiastically.

When many viewers who had just switched channels in front of the TV saw the scores of the two sides, they were suddenly taken aback.

"16-36?"

"The Lakers lead by 20 points?"

"Stop messing around! That's the defending champion, and that's the Bulls with Jordan, the god of basketball!"

They rubbed their eyes, then looked hard again.

It's really 16-36!This home court is also the home court of the Lakers, the Great Western Forum Stadium!
just,

"How is this going?"

"Why are the Bulls trailing by 20 points?"

Many new fans expressed disbelief.

At this time, the familiar voice of the narrator came out.

"Friends in the audience, maybe you just switched the channel, maybe you just turned on the TV, but please believe your eyes, you are not mistaken!"

The live TV camera was aimed at the commentary booth, and three old guys from NBC TV station appeared.

The old horseman also helped the new spectators describe the game process in the first quarter.

"Compared to the China Derby broadcast live on the TV station next door, this high-profile confrontation between the East and the West is a bit disappointing. Just after the first quarter, the Lakers caused a huge damage to the inside of the Chicago Bulls .”

Immediately afterwards, the TV station also gave the data of the first quarter of the game.

"O'Neal, 8 of 7, 16 points and 4 rebounds,

Longley, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 fouls,

Wennington, 0 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists, 2 fouls,

Klein, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 fouls,

Rodman, 0 points, 5 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 foul. "

"Longley fouled twice, and the substitute centers Wennington and Klein both received two fouls. Later, the Bulls had to rely on Rodman to defend the inside. So, everyone saw the current score."

Having said that, the old horseman also knows what the current fans are thinking, and he also turned to say:
"Of course, you might ask, where's Michael? Where's Scott? Well, let me tell you."

Again the data is on the TV,

"Jordan, 14 of 4, 12 points, 1 rebound and 2 turnovers,

皮蓬，5中1，3分2篮板3助攻3失误，”

In the first quarter of the game, the performance of the Bulls players was really terrible.

When the old groom said this, he also turned to look at the two guys beside him.

"You two, what do you think the next game will be like?"

Matt Gaucas took the lead, "I think the Lakers will continue to take advantage of Shaq's advantage in the interior to continue to open the score. A reasonable collision zone is really useful for O'Neal, and this is designed for him .Nobody on the Bulls can stop Shaq."

Bill Walton said: "The reasonable collision zone does bring convenience to O'Neal. However, the Bulls are the defending champions, and they will definitely adjust their status quickly."

The old groom hurriedly changed the topic, "Okay, what you both said is very reasonable. So in the end, whoever loses and who wins, let's move on."

Then, the game quickly verified that Matt Gokas is a crow's mouth!
In the second quarter, O'Neal was misfired by Longley, who had two fouls.

The Bulls quickly narrowed the score gap.

At the end of the half, the score of the two sides was 50-56, and the Bulls were only 6 points behind!
At this time, the old groom and Bill Wharton also habitually turned their heads to look at Matt Gaucas.

Matt Gaucas is also uncomfortable to watch. "Hey, what do you mean? It seems that the game is under my control."

Groom Albert said, "You can't control the game, but your crow's mouth can change the situation on the field."

"Me? Crow's mouth?" Matt Gaucas was also annoyed, "Huh! Then I say now, the Bulls caught up to the score in the second half, overtook the score, and finally won the game!"

The old groom and Bill Wharton also hissed immediately, "Oh~ Chicagoans are in danger.

It's the second half.

O'Neal played so-so, but the Lakers continued to maintain the lead, and the Bulls couldn't catch up.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded.

Bulls center Longley fell to the basket and was carried off the court.

The old groom and Bill Wharton turned their heads at the same time, looking at Matt Gaucas with wide eyes.

Matt Gaucas does not believe in evil, "Shaq~"

Before Gaokas could say anything, the old groom and Bill Wharton quickly covered his mouth.

On the field, without Longley, it was supposed to be the time when O'Neal showed his power, but in the end, O'Neal was inexplicably misfired, and was misfired by the Bulls' backup center Klein.

"Uuuuuuu~"

Gao Kasi wanted to say something more, but the two old grooms refused to let him go.

However, Gao Kasi's previous "crow's mouth" is still being fulfilled.

Originally, O'Neal was defended, and the Bulls would take the opportunity to catch up with the score and go ahead, but they didn't.

Jordan and Pippen played so badly that the entire Bulls were out of shape.

And the Lakers don't seem to be performing well.

The score increased slowly, and the scene was very ugly.

At this moment, someone from the Lakers suddenly stood up.

No. 8 for the Lakers!
Kobe Bryant, who was 8 of 1 in the first three quarters, suddenly broke out in the fourth quarter. He hit two consecutive three-pointers, two mid-range shots, and a breakthrough dunk.
When facing Jordan once, he also yelled away Robert Horry who was about to cover him.

"Get out of the way! I want to fight him one-on-one!"

Kobe singled out Jordan!

A difficult back turn and fadeaway shot with a very, very high arc.

Whoosh!
The ball goes into the net hollow!
Kobe hit Jordan with Jordan's trick.

The Lakers fans in the audience are also boiling.

"Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!"

In the Great Western Forum arena, the No. 8 teenager put his hands next to his ears, enjoying the voice of the audience.

It is precisely because Kobe Bryant scored 18 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter that the Lakers successfully gnawed down the tough bone of the Bulls at home.

Beep beep beep! ! !
competition is over.

112-98
The Lakers beat the Bulls by 14 points at home.

This Christmas battle was originally played by O'Neal and Jordan as the protagonists, but no one expected that Kobe Bryant would steal the show in the end!
The post-match news reports also came out soon.

"Christmas War, who is the main character?"

"In the Chinese Derby, Double Stars won a triple-double, but he was the one who won the match."

"The Lakers fought against the Bulls, and as a result, the light of O'Neal and Jordan was overshadowed by him."
