Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen took the ball across half court and threw it to Jokic.
Jokic wanted to give it to Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen signaled to give it to Kobe.
Zhao Chen stood on the right side, waiting to watch Kobe Bryant's performance.
Zhao Chen faced the attention of two to three people, while Kobe's side was one-on-one.
Defending Kobe is the tough Robertson.
Robertson can indeed bring some minor troubles to Kobe, but they are just minor troubles.
Kobe changed to the left and missed Robertson, then adjusted his back dribble to the right and then passed him.
Kobe's passing skills are not as fancy as Zhao Chen's, but they are more concise and practical, and his combination of rhythm and physical talent is great.
Kobe rushed to the free throw line, but the Thunder's defense did not come up.
It's not that the Thunder don't want to help defend Kobe, but they don't have enough manpower.
When Zhao Chen is flanked, it is impossible to flank Kobe.
Kobe adjusted his rhythm, pushed his feet on the ground, leaned back a little, and then flicked the basketball after reaching the highest point.
A picturesque shot!
The basketball draws a beautiful arc!
"Uh-huh!"
Fans at Staples Center were treated to that mesmerizing gesture once again.
77 to 86,
Kobe's consecutive scoring quickly opened the score.
"Kobe, that's right, just do it." Zhao Chen came over and patted Kobe's butt.
"Hey, let me play first in this quarter." Kobe smiled at Zhao Chen.
Kobe felt that there was still a lot of energy in him that had not been vented.
"Come on, do your best." Zhao Chen chuckled.
By the time you finish this session, you will probably need someone to help you walk.
Thunder offense.
Westbrook used Ibaka's pick-and-roll to get rid of Zhao Chen.
Jokic covered up the defense and Westbrook passed the ball to Robertson who was cutting through the air.
Robertson scored on a layup.
79 to 86.
Even Zhao Chen didn't expect that Robertson would have so many roles on the offensive end.
It seems that the Thunder's players are improving.
Lakers offense.
Thunder doesn't dare to be careless at all now.
Zhao Chen didn't attack, but Kobe kept attacking wildly.
Do you want to flank Zhao Chen?
Zhao Chen continued to open up space for Kobe to play.
Kobe holds the ball two meters outside the three-point line on the right side.
Robertson stepped on the three-point line to guard seriously, and inside Ibaka was always paying attention to Kobe's breakthrough.
Looking at the opponent's defensive formation, Kobe decisively chose a long three-point jumper! !
Kobe was very bold today, he felt he was sure to make such a shot.
Everyone in the Thunder never imagined that Kobe would shoot like this.
It didn't put any defensive pressure on Kobe.
The basketball draws a beautiful arc.
"Uh-huh!"
Super long three-pointer, hammering the Thunder.
79 to 89.
"If you don't guard against that guy, you won't have to fight tonight." Zhao Chen said to Westbrook in front of him with a smile.
"It's just good luck," Westbrook said.
"You seem to have forgotten who he is." Zhao Chen said.
"Hmph." Westbrook was unwilling to admit the failure of his tactics.
Brooks admitted it, though.
Very decisive.
Coach Brooks took the initiative to stop the game and rearrange tactics.
Kobe's ability to score continuously is so scary.
When Zhao Chen didn't attack, the Lakers' score actually widened. How could they still fight?
Kobe's hand was hot after the start of the third quarter, and he immediately shut down the Thunder.
This also caused heated discussions on the Internet.
"Kobe seems to be back in the Western Conference Finals last season!"
"Is this a veteran who is about to retire?"
"Kobe is so fierce!"
"How dare the Thunder be so careless with Kobe?"
"Haha, Zhao Chen is watching the show, so he doesn't need to contribute at all."
"The Lakers are in trouble and have to rely on a retired veteran to support the situation."
Fans are talking about Kobe's explosion.
On the bench, Kobe enjoyed the adulation from the young Lakers.
Tonight, Kobe once again played like the superstar he once was, which is impressive.
Pause back.
Both sides have carried out certain rotations. Booker came up, and the Lakers only had Jokic in the inside. The Lakers played a small lineup with one large and four small.
Coach Brooks still hasn't changed his defensive strategy.
Coach Brooks doesn't believe that Kobe can continue to explode like this.
He felt that Zhao Chen would fight next.
Thunder offense.
Zhao Chen and Kobe formed the Lakers' super defensive line on the outside.
Westbrook's consecutive breakthroughs were blocked by Zhao Chen.
If there is a cover, Zhao Chen will go around the cover!
Westbrook had to give the ball to Durant.
Durant was attacked by Kobe Bryant and Kaoru Wen.
Durant gave the ball to Robertson who cut inside.
This time Jokic was on guard, and Robertson's layup was directly blocked.
The rebound was taken by Booker.
Booker carried the ball across half court.
Without Zhao Chen's command, Booker gave the ball to Kobe and then pulled away himself.
Booker is also a fan of Kobe, and he is eager to see such a scene.
Zhao Chen stood in the midfield position in the distance, chatting with Westbrook.
"Russell, has your child's birthday passed this year?"
"pass."
"I forgot to prepare a birthday gift for him. I'll make it up for him later."
"No sincerity, no need."
....
Zhao Chen chatted with Westbrook on the court.
This scene was also captured on the big screen at the scene.
"Haha, Zhao Chen, you are so embarrassed, Naochai is fighting for life and death there, and then you are paddling!"
"Suddenly the look of the game was different."
"Kobe! That's right, let Kobe play."
The fans at the scene shouted loudly.
Kobe ignored Zhao Chen with the ball and continued to attack.
Jokic's move blocked Robertson, and Kobe used the screen to break in.
With Ibaka's help, Kobe pulled the ball back from the mid-range.
Kobe's rhythm was great. Although Ibaka came to help defend, he did not follow Kobe's rhythm.
Kobe's fadeaway shot went smoothly!
Standard backward posture!
"Uh-huh!"
79 to 91.
Zhao Chen signaled to the fans at the scene to continue cheering louder.
"Well done!"
"Please keep doing this and don't stop."
"Zhao Chen is too crazy to let a retired veteran do this and paddle the water by himself."
"Haha, Kobe is awesome."
"Zhao Chen is actually chatting with Westbrook."
"In today's urine test, Zhao Chen is the most arrogant."
Zhao Chen plays the role of containing the defense. With him on the court, Kobe will not encounter the strongest flanking attack.
As long as it's not the strongest double attack, Kobe can easily defend like this.
"Don't flank Zhao." Brooks was also a little scared by Kobe's beating.
Kobe seemed to be back at his peak today.
This kind of Kobe gave Brooks a headache.
The Thunder's offense comes again.
This time Durant finally attacked.
After continuous changes of direction in front of his body, Durant faced Covington's defense and shot a three-pointer!
Durant didn't take a shot for several rounds, and the ball hit the front frame very bluntly.
Zhao Chen got the rebound and threw it directly to Kobe.
Kobe sprinted at high speed, faced Westbrook and Robertson in a decisive one-on-two in the frontcourt, and broke through their defense with a one-handed dunk! ! !
"frame!"
79 to 93.
The score continues to be opened by Kobe!
