In the locker room.
Zhao Chen called on: "In the second half of the game, we all passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe, you catch the ball and play it yourself. You don't have to think about passing the ball."
"no problem!"
"OK!"
"Just do this, Kobe, you want 50+ tonight!"
Rose, Jokic, Covington, Tucker, Booker and many other rotations have expressed their opinions.
Kobe also nodded and was not polite to everyone.
Everyone knows that this night belongs to Kobe.
The third quarter started quickly.
Hayward rested off the court.
Zhao Chen strengthened his defense and succeeded in consecutive defenses, while Kobe succeeded in singles on Mark in the low post.
In the first three minutes of the second half, the Lakers launched a 10-2 offensive climax to open up the score.
Scott saw that the score was almost up and replaced Zhao Chen.
The Jazz replaced Hayward.
Without Zhao Chen, the Lakers' offensive and defensive ends were obviously limited, and the Jazz played very hard. During the halftime break, they learned that in another game, the Rockets were lagging behind, which made them even more nervous. It's chicken blood.
Kobe's efficiency is indeed not high, he may score one goal every three goals, but every time he scores a goal, he will cause cheers from the fans at the scene.
Fans just want to see Kobe like this.
It's rare that they don't want to see Zhao Chen's performance.
Kobe Bryant’s games are less common now, but Zhao Chen’s games can still be watched in the future.
The Jazz's tenacity is very strong, their touch is also very smooth, and they continue to hit long shots from the outside.
At the end of the third quarter, the Jazz chased the score to 95-95. The two teams were tied, and the Jazz always maintained hope of a comeback.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Zhao Chen looked at Kobe and stopped making ink marks.
"[The Youth of a Veteran]—Kobe Bryant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kobe felt that his tired body had regained its energy.
Except for Kobe and Zhao Chen, everyone else on the Lakers was breathing heavily.
Kobe's efficiency is really average, they all have to rush for rebounds and defend.
These jobs are tiring.
...........
"Kobe's condition has declined significantly. This is the key for the Jazz to catch up with the score."
"It's time for Kobe to retire after all. He failed to grasp many balls."
"Zhao Chen was paddling all the way tonight, but his assists came up very quickly."
"Vote, if you have to vote, vote. I'm here to see you tonight."
Lakers fans have no complaints about the Lakers being chased by points because of Kobe.
74 wins were won, but Kobe was let go in the last game.
Rest between sessions.
Jazz head coach Schneider said: "Yes, just defend like this, let Kobe shoot, resolutely flank Zhao Chen, don't let Zhao Chen open up."
Bryant's inefficiency in the third quarter made Schneider feel that their defensive strategy was successful.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Zhao Chen, Kobe, Booker, Harris, and Arab League started the final quarter.
Obviously, the Lakers' lineup is to open up space for Kobe.
On the Jazz side, Hood, Ingles, Hayward, Lyles, and Vichy.
The Jazz are trying to win this game and increase the time for their main rotation.
In the fourth quarter, the Lakers had the ball. Zhao Chen passed it to Booker. Booker made a mistake when passing the ball to Kobe and was directly intercepted by Hayward. Harris did not keep an eye on Hayward, who was at the three-point line. The outsider successfully clicked on Harris, simply made a three-pointer, and the knife fell with his hand!
98 to 95.
The Jazz came back from being behind by double digits.
Jazz's momentum is getting stronger and stronger.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen pushed forward with the ball, and Ingles defended Zhao Chen.
The Jazz's defense was really desperate. They started chasing Zhao Chen from the bottom line. They were deeply afraid that Zhao Chen would open up.
As long as Zhao Chen doesn't open it, they won't worry about others.
Zhao Chen used continuous back dribbles and changes of direction to cross the half-court line. Stepping on the LOGO, Zhao Chen distributed the ball to Kobe.
Zhao Chen stopped moving and completely opened the space.
Kobe held the ball on the left side and faced the frame. Looking at the Jazz's loose defense against him, he seemed to be encouraging him to take action.
Kobe's face looked a little ugly.
It is undeniable that in the third quarter it was because he was too tough that the Lakers were chased by points.
Although he may take the blame for losing, Kobe is never afraid to take action.
Kobe accelerated and rushed directly to the right side of Hood. Hood did not chase Kobe back, but focused on Zhao Chen in the distance.
Lyles went to help defend Kobe. Although he was assisting in defense, Lyles did not press forward and had the intention of encouraging Kobe to make a sudden jump shot.
This is the Jazz's defensive strategy. Kobe's eyes are full of murderous intent. The opponent wants him to shoot, but he refuses to shoot. Kobe directly holds the ball and hits the inside.
At this time, Kobe felt that his rhythm and physical condition were very good.
Lyles was also stunned by Kobe's choice.
However, he didn't hesitate much and raised his hands directly to face Kobe in the three-second zone.
Kobe collected the ball, kicked off the ground and jumped into the air. He grabbed the ball with one hand and smashed the ball towards the basket through Lyles!
"frame!!"
98 to 97
"Beep!!"
Kobe dunked the ball in and also caused a foul on Lyles.
Players on both sides didn't expect Kobe to complete the dunk so cleanly.
Too domineering!
Kobe's cold eyes fell to the ground, not caring at all.
Kobe felt that it was normal for him to do such a thing in his current physical condition.
Fans at Staples Center were stunned.
Is this still a veteran who is retiring?
When it comes to buckles, it’s buckles!
Although Kobe scored a lot tonight, most of them came from shooting, and he barely dunked once. This dunk is obviously not comparable to a dunk.
Kobe stepped to the free throw line.
Staples Center fans give MVP shouts!
"Awesome, Kobe!"
"It's buckling again."
"You can obviously play for a few more years, but you have to quit this year, hey!"
"The Jazz underestimated Kobe. I can feel the anger on Kobe."
Domestic fans also tapped their keyboards to express their surprise.
Kobe made a steady hit and added a penalty!
"Uh-huh!"
98 versus 98.
When Kobe returned to defense, he said to Zhao Chen: "I feel like I'm in great shape tonight."
Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Just attack decisively."
Kobe nodded.
Jazz attack.
Kobe is guarding Hayward.
Zhao Chen kept an eye on Hood.
Hood felt tremendous pressure while dribbling.
Hood gave the ball to Hayward, who had a similar feeling.
I can't do it when I want to, and I can't do it when I want to.
Hayward encountered Kobe's suffocating defense.
Hayward's continuous changes of direction were blocked by Kobe. Hayward wanted to throw the ball, but the moment the ball was released, Kobe had quick eyes and quick hands and copied the ball directly!
Kobe's defense has returned to his peak, and Hayward's judgment of Kobe's defensive ability is based on his understanding of the defensive intensity in the first three quarters.
After Kobe finished stealing the ball, he gave the ball to Zhao Chen, who rushed forward at high speed.
The Jazz players were all trying to retreat. Ingles and Hood were both very fast, but Zhao Chen was faster in passing.
Zhao Chen changed direction without slowing down and passed between Ingalls and Hood.
Ingalls and Hood both chased Zhao Chen.
After arriving inside, when everyone thought Zhao Chen was going to perform a dunk, Zhao Chen threw the ball toward the backboard.
"boom!"
After the basketball rebounded, it was in the hands of Kobe who was following behind!
Kobe reached the highest point, caught the ball with both hands and smashed it directly!
This time, Kobe was separated from Hood and Ingles!
"frame!"
Violently punching the frame between two people! !
98 to 100.
