On the Court With... Kobe Bryant
““There are no limits,” he said wistfully.
Downer’s summation appeared correct as the Aces knifed through the competition to reach the state semifinals with ease. But in order to reach the championship game, they would have to defeat their old nemesis Chester, regarded as perhaps the best defensive, team in the state.
The previous season, Chester had embarrassed Kobe and Lower Merion, beating them by 27 points. To remind themselves of that, each member of the Aces wrote the number 27 on his basketball jersey.
Early in the game it appeared as if Chester still had Kobe’s number. They swarmed over him, daring him to shoot through double- and triple-teams. Kobe began pressing, and instead of involving his teammates in the game, he tried to do everything himself. Rather than passing the ball to another player, he’d drive and try to cut between defenders and throw up spectacular-looking but incredibly difficult shots.
