If this dispute between Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant was in a few years in the future Jake would want to watch, after all, in the future, Kobe would be an excellent defensive player and would also attack even better, but in this game, Jake preferred to defend against Allen Iverson.

"Welcome to everyone who came to watch this game this NBA season, in this game the Philadelphia 76ers team that is playing at home faces the Los Angeles Lakers team."

"The Philadelphia 76ers team is having a good season with 13 wins and 9 losses, with Allen Iverson as the big star of this team they have been achieving good victories and can reach the playoffs this season."

"The Los Angeles Lakers team is playing the fourth game as a visiting visitor, yet they haven't lost any of the last 3 games, they have a great start to the season with 24 wins and just 1 loss in 25 games."

"So half of this season is over and the Los Angeles Lakers team has just 1 loss, with Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Jake Smith the Los Angeles Lakers team has the best attack that has worked very well this season."

"The Philadelphia 76ers team has one of the best saves this season and with Allen Iverson, they can beat this Los Angeles Lakers team."

The Los Angeles Lakers team would start that game with Jake Smith playing as PG, Kobe Bryant playing as SG, Rick Fox playing as SF, Robert Horry playing as PF, and Shaquille O'Neal playing as Center.

The Philadelphia 76ers team would start this game with Eric Snow playing as PG, Allen Iverson playing as SG, George Lynch playing as SF, Tyrone Hill playing as PF, and Matt Geiger playing as Center.

The game started with Shaquille O'Neal winning the first ball possession for the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaq passed the ball to Jake who started organizing the attack, Jake moved forward and passed the ball to Rick Fox on the left.

Rick was not playing very well in those last games, he knew that coach Rambis just did not replace him because he had no other good players in the SF position to play as his replacement and because Rick was scoring more than 10 points in most games.

Rick received the ball and George Lynch arrived pressing on defense, Rick held the ball a little and passed it to Kobe Bryant on the right, Kobe received the ball and Allen Iverson arrived pressing on defense.

Kobe tried a feint to try to deceive the opponent and made a crossover to try to advance to the internal area, Iverson was not deceived and managed to continue well in the defense, Kobe made another feint and managed to advance for the left quickly.

Kobe drive to the basket and tried the layup to make 2 points for the Los Angeles Lakers team, Kobe didn't play well in the last game and wanted to have a good performance in that game, especially because he wanted to show Jake that he was able to defend and attack.

Of course, Jake knew better than Kobe how skillful he was and how he would be even better in the future, but Jake knew that although Kobe is currently a player who helps in defense he did not play as well against very skilled opponents in the attack.

Soon the Philadelphia 76ers team went on the attack to try to tie the game, Erick Snow advanced with the ball and passed to Allen Iverson on the left, Iverson received the ball and Kobe came pressing on the defense.

Iverson did not expect this intensity in defense since the beginning of the game, Iverson held the ball and passed it to Lynch on the right, Lynch received the ball and Rick arrived at the defense, Lynch made a feint and managed to trick Rick, so Lynch tried a mid-shot range to score 2 points for the Philadelphia 76ers.

The two teams were pressing in the attack and the Philadelphia 76ers team were better in defense, Jake advanced with the ball and passed to Kobe on the right, Kobe received the ball and Iverson arrived pressing in defense.

Kobe held the ball a little and passed the ball to Rick from the left, Rick tried to make a feint to deceive the opponent, but Lynch was not deceived, so Rick passed the ball to Jake further back.

Jake received the ball and Snow arrived pressing in defense, Jake advanced with the ball and made a feint to deceive the opponent, Jake deceived Snow and advanced using his speed for the attack.

Snow still tried to keep up with the defense, but Jake was faster and advanced with the ball, Jake advanced to the inside area and Matt Geiger tried to defend against him, Jake saw Geiger coming to defend and passed the ball to Shaq later on.

Shaq received the ball without anyone defending against him, so Shaq advanced and scored 2 more points with a dunk for the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaq praised Jake for the good move and they went back to the defense.

Even though Jake was the highlight of the team today and scored more points than all his teammates, Jake was highly respected by his teammates and no one was jealous of him.

This was because Jake was not a player who didn't know how to play as a team and just wanted to score and didn't bother to pass the ball, Jake was the player with the most assists in the NBA today and it showed how he passed the ball in most plays.

Everyone knew that Jake was the player who scored the most because he was the player who made the least mistakes in attacks and also played 48 minutes in every game while his teammates couldn't stand to do that.

For the other players on the Los Angeles Lakers team, it was normal for Jake to be the best player on the team because he was an excellent player who worked harder than the other players in training him.

In another play, the Philadelphia 76ers team was on the attack, Snow advanced with the ball and passed it to Lynch on the right, Lynch received the ball and Rick arrived pressing on defense, Lynch held the ball a little and passed it to Iverson on the left.

Iverson received the ball and Kobe came pressing on defense, Iverson tried to trick Kobe with a feint, but Kobe was attentive on defense and was not deceived, Iverson did not understand why Kobe was defending so intensely since the beginning of the game.

Iverson tried another feint and made a quick crossover and advanced from the left, Kobe was unable to follow in defense, but soon he recovered and returned to defend against Iverson, Iverson made a feint and tried a fadeaway shot to make 2 more points for the team Philadelphia 76ers.

The fadeaway shot was a move that Kobe made many times in games and it was difficult for him to see Iverson making that move against him, this was not the first move that Iverson made the points and Kobe began to realize that maybe he was not able to currently defend well playing against Iverson.

The two teams were very balanced in the game, even so, the defense of the Philadelphia 76ers team was better and Allen Iverson was playing very well in that game, so the Philadelphia 76ers team finished the first quarter by winning with the points advantage.

In that first quarter Jake played for 12 minutes and made 8 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals, Jake played well in that first quarter, but even he was having trouble attacking and assisting.

"The first quarter ends and the Philadelphia 76ers team is winning with a small advantage in points, few times this season the Los Angeles Lakers team ended the first-quarter loss."

"The players of the Los Angeles Lakers team are not playing very well, but that was not much different than in the last games, Jake Smith and Kobe Bryant are playing well in that game and Shaquille O'Neal is also playing well despite having played for fewer minutes."

"Rick Fox and Robert Horry are not playing very well in the attack, but they help the defense and help in the attack as well as in the last games, even so, the Philadelphia 76ers still have the advantage in the game."

"In the attack by the Philadelphia 76ers team, only Allen Iverson is having an excellent performance and scored 11 points in that first quarter, in defense the Philadelphia 76ers team is playing much better and all the players are helping in the defense."

"We will continue to follow this game to see if the Los Angeles Lakers team will have their second loss of the season in that game or if they can recover and get another victory."

Just as commentators said the Los Angeles Lakers team was playing normally as it did in the last few games and it was the Philadelphia 76ers team that was playing better in defense and Allen Iverson who was playing really well.

Coach Kurt Rambis had to replace Shaq in that game for a few minutes because the medical team had said that Shaq's fatigue was too great and he could be injured if he played normally.

Even though players had a day to rest between games, this Los Angeles Lakers team streak as a visitor was tiring the players with travel.

The second quarter started with the Philadelphia 76ers team pressing in the attack, the Philadelphia 76ers team wanted this home win against the strong Los Angeles Lakers team to have more courage to continue winning the games.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers team was on the attack, Snow advanced with the ball and passed it to Lynch on the right, Lynch received the ball and Rick arrived pressing on defense.

Lynch tried to trick Rick with a feint, but Rick was not fooled and remained strong in defense, so Lynch decided to pass the ball to Snow further back, Snow received the ball and Jake arrived at the defense.

Snow held the ball for a bit and passed the ball to Iverson on the left, Iverson received the ball and Kobe came up to press on defense, Kobe was still trying to defend better in this game and wanted to help the team win this game.

Iverson tried to deceive Kobe with a feint, but Kobe was not deceived and continued to press in defense, Iverson tried another feint and pretended he was going to advance to the inside area and stepped back and tried an outside shot to make 3 more points for the Philadelphia 76ers team.
