Kobe Bryant Full 2000 Finals Highlights vs Pacers - 1st Championship

Now I think what we have to see here before what the matchups will be Reggie Miller told us yesterday that Kobe Bryant was on guard, but let's see how the Lakers face the Pacers Miller in Bryant goes to the baseline here is his change for tie the game Kobe Bryant the Lakers know it remember now she the athletes back there changing shots this is straight to the basket I was waiting for O'Neil to scramble he recovers you're saying once he's that deep it's almost impossible to wrap him up spit a change here Shaq is there for the lead in jump shot at 2614 Neil turns around and he also dominates you inside you can also leave the white flag of surrender just as the guys approach, he leaves it and it's a layup or a dunk Jackson against Jaylen Rubble, come on some breathing room six D to wait for the buzzer even though Smiths is 7/4 they have Davis at 611 jumps against O'Neal and the Lakers handler dunks rice in the lane watches tan Mark Jackson drives on Kobe soft green approaching block It's six on the shot clock.

Reggie defends and fries Kobe Bryant and you will see Frick Smith come out to contest the shot and he leaves what he does. Shaquille O'Neal needs a basket for the power duck and foul. what you have to do is force Kobe to make that shot and stay home on Shaquille O'Neal here are Glenn Kobe's rights Bryant sprained his ankle when Kobe fell he is on the ground and writhes in pain holding his Meanwhile , left ankle Rose gums three on the other end chat takes the rebound the Lakers have a break he leaves it but the biggest concern is Kobe Bryant now Kobe fell when he shot that jump shot now they will have to take the foul tell me how can this happen you have five on four you shoot a jumper and they shoot a layup at the other end with one of their players down on the floor how can the Lakers do that where is Indiana's defense getting a quick update on Kobe Bryant like we mentioned previously, moderate spray radiographs were negative.

I spoke to trainer Gary BD and he said they have already started this therapy. They have used two or three different types of ice. They put him on range of motion exercises, hope

y he'll try it. to prepare for Sunday, but right now it's day to day, Bob goes with this team to India, looks at Rick Carlisle, the Indiana assistant, before the game, he said they were going to try to run a couple of plays early. to play with script Mark Jackson is going to play a screen roll two screens are going to appear they are going to test Kobe's ankle early so let's see what I have I throw it to Rice who makes the jump shot plus the foul that Bryan hits a Jackson I I Think that as the game goes on, if Kobe can get his ankle to loosen up, it seems like he's already starting to feel a lot better than he did in the first few minutes.

It's not so much that Bob's ankles slow him down, but that he's rusty, you can see. he's a little off balance, he's going in, he marks that Jackson gets, he can't finish here while he's going to the basket and he doesn't get into the rotation, defensively, you see, normally he would step up and maybe try to block that shot, so when What I see here is that he's trying to get back into the game after being out, you know, since game 2 he only played nine minutes, let's talk to him, Bob Rashad, am I okay? Thanks Doug, you know one of the things Kobe said like something like that.

A side effect of this ankle thing is that in the last few days he has been receiving treatment 24 hours a day and has not slept due to the different treatments that are alternating in his head and he said that if there was anything else, he was a little tired to enter. today's game, so he's a little worried that that might be a factor. Also, Derek Fisher is in the Lakers Hill matchup against the best and that has been a great matchup. Kobe Bryant, that's his second basket, he's 2 of 5 under control, his feet were balanced. under him he has his shoulders squared, that's what he'll have to do now as he gets back into the game and Kobe goes up and blocks it, but it ends up in the hands of Dale Davis, whose open jumper doesn't allow Brian to accelerate. to the baseline and shooting the jumper we played two minutes of the second half Indiana by five Kobe Bryant cuts it to three, you see Kobe here as he goes to the basket, now that is his left ankle that he has to plant when goes in that direction. he comes back so it seemed like he was confident and in this way he would plant that right foot to go up to this jump shot he stays suspended in the air what a harder shot he knocks down two jumpers ac green looks for Bryant but Jackson has pushed him away the basket no It takes her a long time to get into the lane and she is suspended in the air with another not so bad beauty for the Pacers now Kobe commits his fourth foul and it almost excites him, it's like he's going to the basket now, something we did.

I don't see in that first half Kobe passing to Miller, who was quick and powerful with the shot, and you're seeing Kobe work on the game. Koby spinning into the paint, another hard, tough hoop. This is Chicago's old play for Michael Jordan Kobe. It doesn't look too bad running in it, but they opened up the field once again. He has all the means there to work without help on defense. A little spinner picks up and he hits an open jump shot. Jack is the kind of guy, a nice guy. a lot of guys would have R up there and get really angry.

Jack tells him to keep playing with the glass jump hook and the Lakers got him within one. Kobe Bryant has an answer, so he has that little mid-range jump shot that we talked about. a lost art at the end through the three and all the way to the basket, he has that pull-up shot. Kobe hits the jumper and gives Los Angeles the lead. Kobe Bratt, we've seen him on so many big shots that we saw in Portland. In the series we saw the winner of the game against Phoenix. The memories are just coming back. He steps on the line with tremendous confidence in his ability and again, that's what you miss when you miss Kobe Bryant being out of the lineup.

A little pity at the end. game in addition to launching Shaq's shot to activate it, they looked for Shaq, he makes the catch, throws a hook and we go to overtime. Robert Horry faked the three getting closer and gave the Lakers the early lead in overtime called. Me between two defenders Mark Jackson took a step there and caught him and forced him to kick that ball to Ron Harper he misses it Shaw grabs the rebound it's a loose ball foul on Shaq who will be number six what a great play that is Phil Jackson with his hands in his pockets looking at Steve Javi with apparent disbelief now remembers in the second game Kobe gets hurt he only plays nine minutes over Ferris Jack receives his sixth goal Bob remembers in the second game Kobe plays only nine minutes Shaq misses 21 free throws and they win the game well now Shaquille O'Neal fouled out with 33 left, you're down three, you've got to find a way to win this game if you're the Pacers, he throws the bait, he's got 20 points. and the Pacers are within one, now you know Kobe will take over the game, he is aware of Glen Rice's three point shot, but Kobe will try to attack by shaking Miller and hitting a two point basket that was just inside the line. the Lakers' lead is three again look at Reggie Miller facing him these two guys played one on one all summer in Los Angeles Kobe takes him between his legs, throws him back, hits the jumper and hits it, you know , take your time everything is fine, I'm not going to let us lose this game, the poise of this young man who this year would only be a senior in college, head, he went to college, I'm amazing, Kofi is going to come back to work, here it is, surpassed Jackson.

How good is this guy? Well, now Mark Jackson is playing here and you know that defensively he's not a good defender. He faced Kobe on that play, but he just stepped up and hit huge shots. Miller delivers it inside the 14th post on the shot clock. as the ball was knocked out, the shot clock was at 12, so you don't want to foul now because you have one to give, they won't take three shots, Shaw running with one hand, followed by Kobe Bryant again, offensive rebounds, Rose will launch. Mark Jackson four seconds Reggie off the screen for three the Lakers have a 3-1 lead the Lakers to me if they play this game like they have a cushion they only have to win one of the next three, it could really cost them the idea. process should be closed this tonight Brian counts the basket plus the foul Macy green from Bryant's assist you just can't stop that shot went up Lofton Brian Jackson is back kofi turns and scores this man shouldn't But this took his time, he didn't try to jump on it, he didn't spin the ball right where he wanted it, and he got a good angle to use the glass.

Quince Brian tries to answer and this young man is so good that he is using the NBA Finals stage here to show everyone what a great player he is, the air comes exploding towards hope and moves his hand out of the way as he hits her, those are the type of plays that energize your team it won't be going straight to the basket the patient felt like he was going to shoot the extra pass that's what caused the Kelly violations what's causing Pokémon accidents right now for his team is that somehow way they can find some rhythm to finish this game something to feel good about when they go home, especially Kobe and Shaq, here's John Salley, his replacement and his first two points, and now they stand up in the Fieldhouse , they sang louder the last game here in Indiana as coach of the Pacers and now the same, thank you, thank you for recovering sir.

Flint to get the game sex night started. What we're going to put in the damn early start. Mom is taking 47 shots over the last two games and hasn't shot a free throw against Reggie Miller. Can't she? The important thing is that he doesn't understand himself. too excited to get the game Ron Harper taking three looks at Kobe to give them more offense and ACC rookies also a good shot blocker Kobe Bryant a little bit of everything the jumper Papi's curiosity can't get to the free throw line a liquor store near Regime Jews, especially if it's a 30 to everything good in the first half, followed only perhaps by sneakers, one can't be happy when it gives 13 points.

Kobe Bryant entered the painted goal. He's 16. Kobe, one of the best one-on-ones. players in the league and he has the ability to come in and he also has that little mid-range jumper that he can pick up and take the little jumper and go all the way at that point, he's going to be Bryant's double team looking for sources. of help. faith increases there and you talk about confidence and he hasn't thrown the ball well tonight he knows the clock is running out look, he's very not in the place to go the ball comes loose he picks it up the foul on his wrist to concentrate the opportunity for the three point play and it makes sense it will be a three point game another big change at the end of the quarters the end of the halves Kobe in traffic gives me what the Lakers are capable of doing with Kobe Bryant, he is their point guard , trap your defender in his triangle, they break it and he has the life to go one on one and create.

This is when the Lakers are really scary. Indiana did a good job defending their set pieces, but Kobe The one-on-one play has really picked apart their defense Koby to tie the game Jalen Rose curls into twit sets up the chakras he seems to be saying just give me a second both teams are o approaching triple digits today 8580 things here I'm hopeful again, but he cuts off Brian's hands, he runs into traffic so hard he can't make shots for everyone ladies, and a fumble foul, he'll go to the line to shoot two even though he shot a very cold seven to 24 because it's obvious. can still have an effect on the game.

He's doing a lot of what Michael used to do in Chicago. He plays that triangle for three quarters in Hat's fourth quarter. He said I'm going to make some things happen. That's what he has done. The Lakers are leading. Kobe Bryant is so confident that he's going to stimulate penetration and he's going to make the jumper to put it up six and he's going to go up. I have it under control and Phil fucked his trainer, I waited waiting for him, I knew a feeling was reading his feet. He said run the offense Kobe said okay, I'll do it coach, he knows the confidence Kobe has and he doesn't want to take it away for now use the talk and the power of that ball inside Davis off balance on Bryant. waiting for the fire to take some time to do it there a free throw for being the champions if he loses the pot the Pacers have a timeout left that's not going to happen seconds in a Piercy the Pacers will fight until the end the last time Jackson He looks to throw and again Shaq Reggie turns and drives you.
