Staples, with the appearance of McGrady and Kobe, the whole arena was boiling.
Trailing 2-3, the team was on the verge of despair, but the team's two leading players were willing to play through injuries. This is definitely moving for the fans.
Even Popovich in front of the Spurs bench, although he kept saying he was stupid, he really felt a little guilty.
Kobe and McGrady played injured in this game. They really worked hard to win this game!
Kobe is working hard, Tracy McGrady is working hard, anything can happen!
If they really do everything they can to win a game for the Lakers, there are too many unknowns.
Until now in this series, Popovich never imagined that this series would be so difficult.
It was still confusing until the sixth game.
Popovich looked at the big screen.
Looking at the Chinese figure on the big screen, Popovich gritted his teeth.
If Coach D hadn't stolen the wins in those two games.
The Spurs have already swept the Lakers 4-0 and advanced!
When he thinks about those two games being stolen by Coach D, Popovich's heart aches to the point of bleeding.
On the court, the starters of the two teams have already arrived.
The starting lineup for the Lakers is Yao Ming, Oden, McGrady, Kobe and Roy.
The Spurs' starters are Duncan, Gasol, Leonard, Danny Green and Parker.
There are no changes to the Spurs' starting lineup.
However, there have been changes in the Lakers' starting lineup. Olajuwon is still sore after playing Game 4. He will not be able to come back until this series reaches the tiebreaker.
Olajuwon also really worked hard.
But after the hard work, his recovery ability was indeed unable to play in every game.
Olajuwon couldn't play, so Clifford decided to start Oden.
The four Pacers veterans really couldn't convince Clifford completely in their usual training.
The experience of the young people on the team is beyond belief.
The strength of the team's veterans is beyond belief.
Without open eyes and a system, coaching the Lakers created by Coach D will be too difficult for other coaches.
Therefore, no matter Nash, Hamm or Clifford, no matter who becomes the acting head coach, they will subconsciously want to kill several core players of the team.
In the playoffs, it's even more true.
At such a moment, Clifford actually supported Kobe and McGrady to play.
Their bodies did sound an alarm, but this could only be considered a minor injury at best. The players themselves are willing to play, and if the team needs them to play, they should play.
"As long as there is any glimmer of hope, we cannot give up. We have to drag on the game. Even if all our players fall down one by one, we have to wait until the coach comes back!"
Looking at Kobe and McGrady on the court, Nash clenched his fists tightly, and he could feel their thoughts.
At this time, they didn't think about anything black and white at all.
Now they just want to drag it out game by game and keep the Lakers in the playoffs. As long as they stay in the playoffs for 24 games, they can bring back the great coach D.
"If it were me, I would make such a decision too!"
"The Lakers cannot be eliminated. As long as we can still stand, the Lakers cannot be eliminated!"
On the court.
Yao Ming and Duncan jump ball.
After a jump ball between the two jump ball fairies, Yao Ming finally defeated Duncan and won the first wave of the ball for the Lakers.
In the Lakers' first offense, Roy did not choose to single out Parker.
Kobe Bryant indicated that he would fight Danny Green in a singles match!
On the Lakers' first attack, everyone pulled away to watch Kobe Bryant play in singles!
Seeing this scene, fans who have not watched the previous five games will definitely feel that Kobe is too alone.
Only fans who watched the first five games will understand why Kobe started playing in singles.
Roy's efficiency in singles against Parker was not very high.
After 2009, Roy basically never played core again.
Although his body has recovered now, he still needs to find his game status.
In this series, Roy played against Parker in isolation, and his mid-range shooting rate was only about 35%.
After so many years, he is once again the core of a playoff team.
This is the first playoff series in so many years, and the opponent is a team like the Spurs.
Roy's efficiency is actually not low.
But, it is definitely not enough.
Therefore, in this series, Roy ended up fighting inside.
The Spurs' defense is too tight from the free throw line!
But Roy just relied on his burning knees to fight inside. He averaged 6 shots at the basket per game and shot 70% from the field, giving the Lakers a glimmer of hope.
In the two games where the Lakers won the game, Roy's lethality was very crucial to have the chance to win the game and to fight the Spurs until the last moment.
Roy kills.
Kobe and Tracy McGrady singles.
This has slowly become a style of play that the Lakers rely on.
That's what the playoffs are like.
At the beginning, everyone is trying out the most appropriate way to play. The later you go, the clearer the play will be.
Now the Lakers know clearly that when playing against the Spurs, they need to attack from the outside. The singles between Kobe and McGrady is the most effective.
The Lakers gave up all the pretense, any cooperation, any pick-and-roll, any pass and run, get away!
I just want to play solo!
I think this game starts from the first second, and we must fight it as the decisive moment of the last second!
In front of the TV.
Seeing the unusually determined look on Kobe's face at this time, Jordan frowned.
"Is this kid?"
In front of the TV.
Mayfair Jackson's eyes lit up with excitement.
Or in front of the TV.
The expressions on the faces of James, Wade, and Anthony became more and more surprised.
"This is still the first round!"
"This is the playoffs in the Western Conference!"
"This is the brutal Western Conference playoffs!"
On the court.
Kobe looked at the old rival who had been pestering him for a series, no, two series.
Last year's Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers also played the Spurs!
"Do you want to see what a Goat is?"
What? !
Danny Green was stunned for a moment.
But soon, Danny Green came back to his senses.
Almost at the same time, Kobe, who had just been holding the ball and looking at him, had turned his back to him.
Not just leaning on him!
Bang!
Kobe made a fierce confrontation, and Danny Green couldn't stand steadily and almost fell down!
And Kobe, who just fought hard against Danny Green.
He was actually able to stabilize his body shape, and not only did he stabilize his body shape, but he also completed the step-back dribble with his back turned!
You know, this is dribbling under strong confrontation!
99% of NBA players can't even protect the ball under such strong physical confrontation, but Kobe can not only control the ball steadily, but also continue to perform difficult dribbling movements!
This is Kobe's way of killing oneself to become a god!
This is Kobe's Goat style of play against Jordan in the All-Star Game!
Danny Green didn't expect that he would be so honored today, forcing the best Kobe to come out!
And in the first quarter, I saw the strongest Kobe, the Goat-level Kobe!
As an excellent defensive player, although Danny Green was knocked away by Kobe, he quickly recovered and pounced out immediately.
It's just obvious that although he defended very hard, Kobe's shots were too fast!
When Kobe steps back to a three-pointer, he doesn't pause like James Harden or Pierce. He kicks his feet, jumps high, takes a quick shot, and throws the basketball in his hand!
Danny Green, who worked very hard to defend, didn't even force Kobe's fade away!
A swipe!
Three point hit!
3 to 0!
The Lakers hit a three-pointer in the opening game!
Seeing Kobe's opening attack, all the Lakers fans at the scene were stunned for a moment before bursting into violent cheers.
Du Kang in the stands looked at Kobe who didn't celebrate after making the shot, and he was also applauding.
This is the first time Kobe has shown his full strength in the playoffs this season.
And the game had just begun, and Kobe showed all his strength.
It's easy to guess Kobe's intentions.
"Kobe just wants to save the best for his strongest self!"
"Kobe didn't even plan on playing the second half!"
"Pop, Kobe's style of play is so heroic!!!"
Even as an opponent, Budenholzer had to admit that players like Kobe are indeed worthy of respect.
only……
Just like Bobo said.
So silly!
Too naive!
If Kobe Bryant collapsed at halftime of this game.
What do the Lakers do to win the game?
Kobe's efforts and efforts are meaningless at all!
What Kobe did, apart from moving himself and moving the fans, his style of play has no meaning!
Just now, Kobe's incredible offense helped the Lakers get a three-pointer with difficulty.
Looking back, Duncan covered Parker from the 30-degree three-point line on the left. Gasol mentioned the free throw line. Parker broke into the basket and attracted Oden's help to pass the ball to Gasol at the free throw line. Gasol did not. Stopping the ball, he passed the ball back to Parker who came out from outside the three-point line. After passing the ball, Gasol went to the basket.
Roy was blocked by Duncan from outside the three-point line on the other side. Gasol cut to the basket. Parker, who did not dare to follow Oden, went out to the three-point line.
At this time, Parker returned to the 30-degree three-point line on the right side, and McGrady could only rotate.
Facing Tracy McGrady who flew over, Parker did not take a three-pointer, but passed the ball across to Leonard at a 45-degree angle on the right.
Leonard's defender McGrady switched to guard Parker.
Kobe, who was guarding Danny Green at the top of the arc, could only switch to Leonard.
Leonard didn't take a shot after Kobe made a crazy recovery, but instead hit the ball to Danny Green at the top of the arc.
At this time, the only person who can replace Danny Green is Roy, who was dumped by Parker.
However, when Roy came over, Danny Green was already jumping in the air and shot a three-pointer.
When people move, the ball moves!
This is the Spurs' UCLA cut this season!
In last year's playoffs, Danny Green's three-point shooting percentage was 48%.
In this year's playoffs, in this series, Danny Green's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 55%!
A swipe!
Three point hit!
Seeing the Spurs hit this three-pointer, the Lakers fans at the scene were silent.
In the TNT commentary booth, the three TNT commentators were extremely excited at this time.
"This is the Spurs' UCLA cut!!"
"If it weren't for Coach D's last-minute shots in those two anxious games, the Spurs would have swept the Lakers by now!"
"The Spurs' offensive system this year is definitely the strongest offensive system I have ever seen in NBA history. The Spurs run and cut like this, and in the end they pass and pass, and they can always pass good opportunities!"
"Without Coach D, the Spurs' UCLA air-cutting tactic is invincible!"
Even though the big score between the two sides in this series is 3 to 2, the Spurs seem to have only won one more game, but anyone who has watched the previous five games can feel that the Spurs played too easily!
The Lakers have all kinds of strong attacks and all kinds of attacks against people.
On the Spurs' side, there are all kinds of open opportunities.
Although the Lakers players look bigger, in terms of final offensive efficiency, the Spurs are better.
And this is where the Lakers despair.
It's not just the three TNT members who think the Spurs' tactical system is awesome this season.
Phil Jackson in front of the TV felt the same way.
"Now that I think about it, it's really incredible that Coach D was able to lead the UCLA cutter that the Lakers used to defeat the Spurs last season!"
Phil Jackson sighed.
With the way the Spurs play, even if they encounter the Knicks, they will have a headache.
The Spurs don't care how many stars you have.
As long as the Spurs can hit those chance shots with high accuracy, you can't beat them no matter how many stars you have.
"The Spurs in 2014 really brought the team's offensive tactical system to its extreme!"
Even Phil Jackson thinks there is no problem with the praise of the three members of the TNT team.
Staples.
After the Spurs hit this classic UCLA air-cut style three-pointer, Popovich glanced provocatively at Du Kang on the big screen.
Coach D, see it, this is the new Spurs!
Any struggle by the Lakers is meaningless!
The final struggle will only make you more desperate and painful!
On the court.
The Lakers continued to attack.
In this offense of the Lakers, the ball still hit Kobe's hands.
But this time, Kobe did not activate the way of killing and becoming a god like he did in the first attack.
This time Kobe chose to pick and roll with Yao Ming.
After the Spurs switched defense, Duncan defended Kobe and Danny Green defended Yao Ming.
Kobe faced Duncan's defense and had no chance to break through.
Kobe's current frontal breakthrough burst and speed are not enough.
Kobe now relies on rhythm to play.
When playing against Duncan and now Kobe, turning his back is the best way to break through.
With his back leaning on Duncan, and after turning around and passing Duncan, Kobe pulled up on the spot and prepared to make a sudden jump shot!
Kobe doesn't dare to dribble more. His breakthrough speed is not that fast now. If he dribbles two more steps, the defense can catch up.
If you don't adjust after passing it, emergency stop on the spot is the best choice.
It's just that Duncan's defense is really excellent.
Even though he was passed by Kobe, Duncan was not completely out of position.
Facing Duncan's defense, Kobe drifted and leaned back in the air, throwing the basketball in his hand!
"It's so difficult! The Lakers' offense is so difficult!!!"
Kobe's offense is indeed difficult to watch.
Fans who have not watched the previous five games will definitely think that Kobe is too unique in attacking like this. He should pass the ball to Yao Ming down the line or Oden in the mid-range. Gasol switches to guard Yao Ming under the basket, and Green misplaces the defense. Oden, it is better to let Oden shoot big and small than to let Kobe play extreme shooting like this.
However, the fact is that Oden was not that effective against Danny Green's strong shots in this series.
Danny Green cuts down the lane, and Oden is not allowed to adjust after receiving the ball, so he needs to shoot against people.
This is worse than Kobe taking advantage of his physical strength to throw one!
What's more, although Duncan's defense was in place, he did get rid of Duncan just now. Kobe felt that he still had room, quite a lot.
It just seems a little harder.
A swipe!
The mid-range pull-up jump shot with a drifting back hit!
5 to 3!
After two difficult singles in the opening game, Kobe's strong offense made the Lakers fans at the scene go crazy.
Just look back.
The Spurs' UCLA cut, and the opportunity presented itself to Parker.
This time the Lakers' Oden didn't make up for it.
Parker hit a long two-point turnaround jumper!
There's almost no space!
A swipe!
Hit!
5 to 5!
The Spurs' offense is still in sharp contrast to the Lakers' previous extreme singles.
Seeing the Spurs score two points so easily, Clifford, Nash and Ham were all numb.
How did our great D coach stop the Spurs' UCLA cut last season?
The Spurs' offensive system is really Diaw!
Playing against a team like the Lakers with two slow-moving centers is really a casual game.
"Steve, let's go to the back five!"
A back five?
Facing Ham's proposal, Clifford shook his head quickly.
"None of us are Coach D!"
Yes, Coach D can use fantastic ideas to defeat the enemy, which none of them can do.
"Darwin, remember, there is only one Coach D in the world! Since Kobe is still persisting, we need to persist too!"
Clifford does not think he is an excellent head coach, but he knows that he cannot treat headaches and footaches like rookie coaches like Hamm and Nash.
In the NBA, continuity of the game is important.
When Kobe can no longer continue the Lakers' score, then it's time for the Lakers to make changes!
This is the NBA game, it changes rapidly, or the coach makes a decision at any time.
Or the players are making decisions all the time on the court.
Clifford's current choice is to let the team's superstars such as Kobe and Tracy McGrady decide how the game should be played on the court.
Since the game is now beyond his ability, he will honestly be a head coach.
Never mess around and disrupt the team's superstar's form and style of play.
On the court, the Lakers continued to attack.
This time it was Kobe who was still attacking.
Kobe, who had a rest in the last round, once again used his killer skills. After a fierce confrontation with Danny Green, Kobe once again retreated to the three-point line.
But this time, Kobe's pull-up three-pointer missed.
"Kobe is too impatient! Bet on his own three points at the beginning of the game!"
"It's not that Kobe is too impatient, it's that the Spurs put too much pressure on Kobe!"
"Kobe wants to maximize his energy too much. Since he has used all his strength, he should score the most points!"
"Whether it's because you're too impatient or under too much pressure, this style of play is destined to be short-lived!"
When playing against a team like the Spurs, one person can carry the entire team's offense.
This is simply unbelievable!
Not even Goat Kobe can!
After all, although Goat Kobe has an invincible style of play, he is not the peak Kobe.
Although Kobe Bryant's playing style at his peak was not so invincible, his athletic ability and physical strength were even better, which may be even more useful at this time.
"With Kobe's style of play, I estimate that in the first quarter, the Spurs will establish a winning streak in the game!"
Phil Jackson said with a smile in front of the TV.
He understands Kobe. Kobe's suicidal style of play will eventually kill himself and the team.
"If Coach D still wants to win this game, he should stop Kobe's crazy style of play in time!"
Mayfair Jackson looked at the man who appeared again on the TV.
It can only be said that the live broadcast footage can indeed speak for itself. In fact, at this time many people want to see what Coach D thinks of Kobe's style of play after the game starts.
On the court.
Kobe was also very upset about this good opportunity to strike, but this annoyance was quickly dispelled by him.
"Yao, Brandon, Greg, please forgive me for not being able to pass the ball to you now. In this game, if I fall, the team will depend on you!"
He just wants to win this game!
When your condition and physical fitness are at your best, one-on-one defense is all about offense!
He didn't know whether the offense in which he sacrificed himself like this could lay the foundation for victory for the team, but he knew that if he didn't do this, the team would definitely not be able to win without a coach!
Now, he is still extremely determined!
Looking at Kobe's back.
The Lakers players had nothing but respect on their faces at this time.
In such a desperate moment, most players in the NBA have collapsed. There are very few players who can shoulder the greatest pressure on their own and then carry the team on their backs.
According to many experts before the game, the Lakers might collapse in the first quarter of this game.
Because the first five games have proved that persistence has no meaning.
We won two of the first three games thanks to the magic of Coach D.
In the next two games, if the Spurs don't give the Lakers a chance to play at critical moments, the Lakers will never be able to beat the Spurs, or even delay the critical moments.
The gap between the two teams is too big.
After all, without Coach D, the Lakers are indeed a team that is barely eighth in the Western Conference.
The Spurs are first in the Western Conference.
It is normal for the gap to be so huge.
At this moment, the Lakers players on the court heard huge exclamations.
In front of the TV, Spoelstra was also surprised at this time.
Because on TV, Coach D was still applauding!
Smile and applaud Kobe!
“Coach D is supporting Kobe’s style of play!!”
Spoelstra looked at Du Kang on the TV in disbelief.
Just the strength shown by the Spurs in this series.
Spoelstra believes that last season's Big Three of the Heat would have been swept by the Spurs!
This is definitely no joke.
Spoelstra even believed that the Heat, led by the Big Three last season, would probably collapse every time they encountered the Spurs.
This Spurs' style of play is so strong!
Most teams in the league can't stand it!
Almost every offense is a chance ball attack. Who can stand this?
Every offense the Spurs make is a simple offense.
As for the Lakers, every offense is a super difficult offense.
With this comparison and style of play, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers will definitely not last.
Isn’t Coach D a discerning person?
Coach D must be a discerning person!
And perhaps the most discerning person in the world.
But Coach D made such a choice!
What does it mean?
"Coach D believes Kobe will create miracles!"
"Miracle is part of competitive sports! Coach D believes that Kobe can create his own miracle!"
Spoelstra's eyes twinkled.
Staples.
Looking at Du Kang applauding him on the big screen, Kobe had a smile on his face.
The feeling of being trusted is very, very good!
"As a head coach, it is unqualified to have such faith in miracles!"
Seeing Popovich gnashing his teeth at this time, Budenholzer did not speak, but was deep in thought.
He didn't support Popovich in that regard.
Of course there was no objection.
Instead, I remembered Popovich's decision to replace Duncan at the last moment in the playoffs with the Lakers last season.
Pop doesn't believe players can perform miracles.
He didn't believe that Duncan, who was already exhausted at the time, could perform miracles, so he chose to replace Duncan.
Now, Kobe's situation is almost the same as Duncan's at that time.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see Kobe's style of play. If he can't hold on for long, he will definitely collapse.
If it were Pop, he would definitely not let Kobe do this.
But Coach D...
His decision comes as no surprise.
Bobo is definitely not surprised, but Bobo is unwilling to accept Coach D’s coaching style.
Coach D's coaching style will only make Bobo feel like salt has been rubbed into the wound.
Duncan thought he was okay, but Bobo thought Duncan was not good, so he replaced Duncan.
Kobe thinks he is okay, and Coach D also thinks Kobe is okay, so now Kobe is still playing singles!
The Spurs attacked, and this time the opportunity appeared for Leonard.
Leonard received a pass from Parker. Facing Kobe who rushed to help defend, Leonard made a feint, pressed into the three-point line, got stuck, and faced Kobe's second shot in the mid-range position. Duan defended, leaned back and threw the basketball in his hand.
Seeing Leonard's fadeaway jumper, the Lakers audience was a little confused.
"Kobe?!"
"Still a bit stuck Jordan?!"
A swipe!
Leonard's fadeaway jumper hits!
After Leonard's hit, the Staples venue was once again silent, even the quietest moment of the night.
Leonard's goal really hurt the Lakers' morale.
The Lakers' defense worked really hard this time, and finally did not allow the Spurs to have a good opportunity.
McGrady defended Parker.
Roy also caught Danny Green.
But Leonard here...
Leonard actually has such strong singles ability! ! !
Although Kobe's defense is not stable, even with Kobe like this, not everyone in the league can play alone!
And it’s this way of humiliating Kobe in singles!
In the eyes of Lakers fans, Leonard's singles attack on Kobe in Kobe's way is humiliating Kobe!
Regarding the relationship between the Spurs and the Lakers, if you want to say that Leonard is paying tribute to Kobe, Leonard himself doesn't believe it.
Regardless of whether Leonard's offense was humiliating Kobe or not, it is true that Leonard's offense made the Lakers desperate.
The Spurs have a team offense, and if the team offense doesn't have a good chance, they can still use Leonard to play superstar ball.
How do you manage a team like this?
In front of the TV.
At this time, Phil Jackson, Scott Brooks, Steve Kerr, these NBA super team head coaches are now stunned.
"This old guy Popovich actually created such a terrifying team this season!!!"
Mayfair Jackson stood up excitedly.
Before, he thought about killing Popovich in the finals.
Now……
Damn it!
Coach D, I’m scared!
This Popovich makes me very scared!
Staples.
Leonard hit a single against Kobe.
The Spurs took the lead 7-5.
On the court.
The Lakers continued to attack.
This time, the Lakers still let Kobe attack.
This time, Kobe chose to play a pick-and-roll with Maizi, switching Leonard in front of him.
Facing Leonard's defense, Kobe didn't have to do that much.
Two consecutive crotch thrusts to the right. After being blocked by Leonard, he immediately switched to his back, and then leaned hard against Leonard behind him!
It has to be said that Leonard's strength is better than Danny Green.
When Kobe Bryant leaned on him like this, he didn't rely on Leonard. He just made Leonard take half a step back.
However, even if he only takes half a step back, for Kobe, this space is as vast as the sea!
It's almost the same fadeaway jumper as Leonard just did.
A swipe!
Kobe Bryant hits a fadeaway!
7 to 7!
The Lakers tied the score again!
After the hit, facing the expressionless Leonard, Kobe wiped his sweat with his jersey in his right hand and pointed angrily at Leonard with his left hand.
"Boy, if you have the ability, try another one!"
Kobe's Answer Ball to Leonard had already shocked the audience. Now after Kobe finished throwing the Answer Ball, he actually actively provoked Leonard!
Is Kobe provoking Leonard?
Kobe is provoking the entire Spurs!
"Oh my God, Kobe is really ready to play alone for a team in this game!!!!"
In the TNT commentary box, O'Neal was stunned.
Where does this poisonous snake get its confidence from?
The power of this Spurs team can be felt by professionals, right? !
Even Jordan can't do this Spurs alone, right? !
"Is this kid crazy?!"
O'Neal is shocked.
Popovich on the sidelines was also shocked.
Kobe Bryant provokes Leonard and the Spurs?
After being shocked by Kobe’s arrogance.
Popovich chuckled.
Haha, feel free to provoke.
He doesn't care at all.
Maybe the person who cares about this time is Coach D?
Popovich looked at the big screen again.
Of course Coach D will always be on camera when he is at Staples. Staples also hopes that Coach D can give the team more codes.
So every move Coach D makes at Staples will be interpreted.
After seeing Kobe actively provoking Leonard, the world immediately turned its attention to Coach D.
Then, everyone saw Coach D’s thumbs out!
This is too obvious!
There is no need for commentators to interpret it, the audience can figure out what Coach D means.
Of course Popovich watched it too.
"Bobo, do you want Kawhi and Kobe to play?"
"Need not!"
Popovich smiled and continued: "Kawhi is a low-key and reserved person, he doesn't care about this kind of thing!"
"..."
Seeing Popovich look so confident, Budenholzer didn't know what to say for a while.
Although Kobe was provoking the Spurs, he also slapped Leonard in the face!
No matter how low-key and reserved Kawhi is, this...
Well, let’s hope Kawhi is the same as Tim.
Pop's practice of replacing Duncan at the last moment of last season's playoffs would have exploded if replaced by an ordinary superstar.
But Duncan didn't care.
With Kobe slapping him in the face like this, Kawhi should be able to hold it back, right?
The team comes first, there should be no problem, right?
Since Bobo thinks there is no problem, then there should be no problem.
On the court, the Spurs attacked and faced Kobe's personal defense, which was such an obvious signal for a duel.
Leonard looked at the sidelines and noticed the gesture made by Popovich. Leonard was silent, did not speak, did not object, and had no intention of asking for the ball to beat Kobe alone.
Seeing Leonard like this, Kobe became even more energetic.
"soft, try me!"
But no matter how provocative Kobe was, Leonard remained unmoved.
Popovich on the sidelines was very satisfied to see Leonard being able to remain calm despite being humiliated by Kobe.
The Spurs' offense didn't hit the target.
Parker's long two-point jumper missed.
Saw that Parker's shot didn't hit.
Leonard's fists were clenched, but soon, Leonard's fists were released.
Parker's blacksmithing doesn't matter.
This is a team effort, and Popovich can accept it.
But in the Spurs, what is absolutely unacceptable is that kind of vicious singles play!
After Yao Ming picked up this backcourt rebound, the Lakers continued to attack.
It’s still Kobe’s offense!
And Kobe is still looking for Leonard!
And, he is still trash-talking Leonard!
"Boy, it seems that your head coach Bobo also thinks you are not worthy of a duel with Kobe."
Leonard, who has always been expressionless, was still expressionless this time, but Leonard's defensive actions could not fool Kobe.
Leonard, angry!
Boy, I really like seeing you angry!
Leonard's defense was working hard. Kobe, who had been waiting for Leonard to use his strength for a long time, turned around and was about to wipe out Leonard. I have to say that Leonard's death coil is really powerful, and he turned sideways. Lateral movement stuck to Kobe again.
only!
Now Kobe has taken the initiative.
Leonard was already exhausted when he came up again.
Kobe took advantage of the situation and made a vigorous confrontation. This time, Leonard flew directly!
Fighting hard and retreating, Kobe's killing style is almost superb!
By the time Leonard stabilized his body, Kobe had already retreated to the three-point line!
Take off!
Lean back!
Kobe faced Leonard's flying dive and threw the basketball in his hand!
A swipe!
Three point hit!
10 to 7!
Facing such a powerful Spurs, Kobe relied on his own singles in the opening game and scored 10 consecutive points!
"Only Coach D in the world believes that Kobe can stop the Spurs with his own offense!"
"Kobe won't really be able to stop the Spurs' attack by himself, right?"
The game continues!
On the court, Kobe is still attacking wildly!
Kobe wanted the ball in the low post to hit Leonard. After sitting twice in a row, Kobe hit the ball to Roy outside the three-point line and immediately ran outside the three-point line. Leonard quickly followed up and Kobe took advantage of the situation and made a run back. !
It was not an ordinary run back, but a confrontational run back. During the run back, he even deliberately confronted Leonard!
Running back at such a high speed, Kobe also deliberately sought a confrontation. After such a confrontation, Kobe and Leonard almost fell down.
But Kobe relied on his super balance ability to avoid falling, and even took advantage of the situation to put distance between him and Leonard!
Leonard has played in the NBA for so many years, and he has never seen such an offensive method before!
Seeing Kobe who had already caught the ball, Leonard ran and crawled after Kobe.
However!
A swipe!
late!
Kobe scored 12 points in a single quarter!
Facing single defenses like Leonard and Green, Kobe scored 12 points in a row in the opening game!
This really shocked Popovich on the sidelines.
"Goat Kobe! This is Goat Kobe!!!"
Killing oneself to become a god, this is indeed powerful!
"Bobo, do you want to attack from a flank?"
"No flanking attack. As long as you don't hit Parker, you absolutely can't flank!"
On the court, Kobe is still attacking!
This time Kobe didn't hold the ball from the beginning. Roy held the ball, and Roy and Kobe picked and rolled.
Parker and Leonard double attack!
Kobe quickly passed the ball to Roy and then ran around Roy.
After receiving the ball, Roy blocked Leonard and then passed the ball back to Kobe.
Facing Parker's pursuit, Kobe broke through to the three-point line and then took a step back and pulled outside the three-point line!
After completely shaking Parker away, Kobe once again pulled up from outside the three-point line!
There was another crisp sound of brushing the Internet!
Kobe Bryant scored his 15th point in a single quarter!
"Bobo, do you want to attack from a flank?!"
Looking at Kobe Bryant who was killing so much on the court at this time, Popovich's hands were trembling now.
too strong!
Kobe showed his Goat strength from the very beginning of this game. His scoring ability is so strong! ! !
"Except for Jordan at his peak in the All-Star Game, no one in the world can guard Goat Kobe!!!!"
At this time, the entire Staples and all the spectators watching this game saw the power of Kobe.
That Goat Kobe!
In that Battle of the Gods, one Kobe can beat Jordan and Olajuwon!
Even in the playoffs, in front of a team like the Spurs, he is still so strong!
"Bobo!"
Budenholzer's heart trembled as he looked at Kobe who was still killing him wildly on the court.
"Hold on! Hold on, as long as we hold on, Kobe won't last long!!!"
"The Lakers without Coach D can't be our opponent anyway!"
Popovich is determined.
He was sure that Kobe wouldn't last long like this!
five minutes?
ten minutes?
Kobe can't last a whole game!
However, Popovich's heart was also trembling at this time.
His UCLA cut to the Spurs was actually beaten by a player like this! ! !
It wasn't just Popovich and the Spurs who were shocked.
In front of the TV, Phil Jackson, Scott Brooks, and Cole were also shocked.
They felt the strength of the Spurs.
However, such a powerful Spurs was indeed suppressed by Kobe!
Staples.
At this time, the entire stadium was in crazy cheers.
Regardless of the final result of this game, Kobe is now suppressing the all-powerful Spurs!
With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the Lakers attacked.
Kobe is still attacking!
After Kobe's pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, he used Kobe's screen to seize the opportunity. This time he chose to accelerate directly and break through Duncan!
Why not attack from behind?
Because Kobe felt that his back was numb at this time!
The constant back confrontation makes Kobe feel like his back has lost all feeling and he cannot control the force of the back confrontation at all!
"My back is gone, but my legs are still there!"
With such straight-line acceleration, after breaking through Duncan, Kobe did not dare to slow down and stop suddenly.
With his current legs and knees, he simply couldn't withstand such a high-speed emergency stop.
Therefore, he chose to penetrate it to the end!
Gasol is helping to defend in front.
Kobe still doesn't stop!
Seeing Gasol's help, Kobe smiled.
So familiar!
Kobe directly hit Gasol's body, using Gasol's body as a brake pad!
Kobe, flying in the air, threw the basketball in his hand smoothly!
Gasol blocked the foul!
A swipe!
Kobe's off-balance fadeaway shot hit!
2+1!
"This is Kobe's 25th point of the game!!!"
"Oh my God!!! Incredible personal performance!!! One person scored all 25 points of the Lakers! Kobe also had to add penalties!"
Looking at the 2+1 played by Kobe on the TV, James, Wade and Anthony in front of the TV, I felt like I was going crazy.
Faced with such a Spurs, Kobe actually relied on himself, and he really suppressed the Spurs! !
"This is Goat! Kobe is the only Goat of the NBA now !!!"
Listening to the crazy shout on the TV, James held his hands tightly at this time.
Take the defensive player as a brake pad!
Even if the balance has been lost, the first thing I want is not to protect myself, but throw the basketball on my hand into the basket!
Kobe's attack was too shocking.
Or, in the face of powerful Spurs, in the face of despair, Kobe's performance is too shocking.
"This is Goat's strength ..."
James gritted his teeth. This time he felt the gap between himself and GAOT again. It was not only the gap in strength, but also the spiritual gap!
Seeing that Kobe has entered such an incredible offense, the Lakers fans at the scene were already preparing for Kobe's penalty to shout MVP!
After the opening of this game, Kobe's performance was too crazy!
Crazy made the Lakers fans at the scene incredible!
They know Kobe is strong!
Unexpectedly, Kobe was so strong!
Just now.
Gasal wants to pull Kobe up.
But……
Kobe covered his groin with his left hand and stretched out his right hand with a smile ...
Looking at this Kobe, Gasol stunned.
Looking at this kind of Kobe, the lake who was ready to cheer stunned.
Looking at this kind of Kobe, the whole world has changed from Kobe's wonderful 2+1 crazy to silence!
And right now.
"Paul, don't be stunned, help me get up."
Kobe gritted his teeth and endured his pain, sweating, his face still had a painful smile.
"I, there is a free throw!"
Silent ...
This world is shocked by Kobe again!
