The outcome of this game will have no impact on the Jazz or the Lakers. The Jazz, like the Lakers, have no playoff missions, and their rankings have been determined.
The Lakers currently have a record of 28 wins and 53 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference. Behind the Lakers are the Timberwolves and Suns.
In the original history, the Lakers only won 17 games this season, which was also the worst record in the history of the Lakers. However, because of the emergence of Li Hao, the Lakers won 11 more games. If they also won the game against the Jazz, it would be 12 games. .
And this is still under a suppressed situation. Although Li Hao takes more free shots this season, Kobe is always there above him.
Then there is the game after the All-Star Game. Li Hao's playing time has been significantly reduced compared to the first half of the season. Before the All-Star Game, Li Hao averaged 36.6 minutes per game, but after the All-Star Game, Li Hao only averaged 31 minutes per game.
………………………………………….
In the end, Li Hao did not let go. Facing Li Hao who was fully defensive, Hayward expressed that he wanted to compete with Li Hao on the game field.
"Man, did you not do this in the last game?" Hayward, who only scored 6 points in total at the end of the third quarter, looked at Li Hao with a depressed look.
"I just do what I should do. Besides, this is Kobe's retirement battle. No matter what, the victory must stay in Los Angeles," Li Hao said, spreading his hands.
"You have already overtaken the lead." Kobe Bryant scored 15 points in the third quarter, and Li Hao shot a 3-pointer. Counting other players, the Lakers scored a total of 24 points in the third quarter, while the opposite Jazz only scored 18 points.
72:76.
The Lakers overtook the Jazz by 4 points.
In fact, if you really want to say it, this game is not exciting, but as far as this game is concerned, it doesn't matter whether it is exciting or not, as long as Kobe can keep scoring, it is enough.
In the fourth quarter, the Jazz wanted to counterattack. The Jazz responded well in this game and did not let off steam because it was Kobe's retirement battle. It can even be said that the Jazz's defense against Kobe was quite good.
The reason why he didn't guard it was because Kobe borrowed time from God and returned to his peak state. In the first three quarters of the game, Kobe took 35 crazy shots.
These 35 shots are also the most this season, but these are only the number of shots taken in the first three quarters. According to the current score, Kobe will continue to take shots in the fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter started quickly, and Kobe returned to the court directly. The game lasted three minutes, and in order to protect Kobe, Kobe went up, Li Hao went up, Kobe went down, and Li Hao also went down.
As soon as the fourth quarter started, Kobe completed a first iron. This was a first iron from Li Hao. After the first three quarters, Li Hao scored a total of 10 points, 9 assists, and 10 rebounds. He was one assist away from reaching the 30th achievement.
In order to achieve this achievement, Li Hao decisively attacked Trevor Booker, cut off the basketball, and then passed the ball to Kobe, who launched a quick counterattack.
Achievement achieved.
Kobe steadily put the basketball into the Jazz basket and scored his 47th point in the game.
With the triple-double achieved, Li Hao had no desire or desire. In the following time, the ball seemed to be a hot potato for Li Hao and would never stay in his hand for more than 3 seconds.
"You want to tire me out?" Although Li Hao meant well, Kobe couldn't help but complain to him.
"Shaq didn't ask you to score 50 points in this game before, but now you're only 3 points away." In fact, when Kobe scored the 47th point, O'Neal stood up excitedly on the sidelines.
"Kobe, I believe in you. 50 points is definitely not your limit. You can do 60, 70 or even 80." He said and patted Kobe on the shoulder to show encouragement.
"I'm curious, what did Lee say to Kobe?" Barkley said curiously, sticking to his post.
In fact, there are two major games starting at the same time on the last day of the regular season. One of them must be Kobe's retirement battle, and the other is the Warriors' game against the Grizzlies.
If the Warriors beat the Grizzlies, then they can tie Jordan's best record in the league with the Bulls. As for losing, there is nothing to talk about.
Because of Li Hao's appearance, the Warriors would have set a new best record in the league, but all this was ruined by Li Hao, and many media in San Francisco put the blame on the Lakers and Li Hao.
No way, who told Li Hao to explode when he beat the Warriors, scoring a season-high 66 points in a single game, and the Lakers are also the only team to beat the Warriors at home and away this season.
In fact, there is no suspense for the Warriors now. At the end of the first three quarters, the Warriors already led the Grizzlies by 21 points. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors' main players were sitting on the bench.
Oh, by the way, there is another reason why the Warriors hate the Lakers, and that is that in the last game, everyone seemed to be focusing on Kobe's retirement, and no one cared about the Warriors tying the best record in the league's history.
………………………………………………………………………….
mvp—mvp—mvp.
Huge cheers rang out again in the Staples Center stands because Kobe had just hit a three-pointer, and this three-pointer also brought Kobe's score to 50 points.
However, Kobe's scoring performance was not over yet, with 52 points, 55 points, 58 points, and 60 points.
Today, Kobe is dreaming of returning to his peak.
With 2 seconds left in the game, Scott replaced Kobe, and Kobe's score was finally fixed at 62 points.
At the age of 37, in his retirement battle, Kobe scored 23 goals in 50 attempts, bringing a perfect end to his career.
90:103.
This is the final score of the game.
The Jazz were destined not to be the protagonist in this game, so they quickly exited the game after losing the game.
………………………………………………………………
mvp—mvp—mvp.
The cheers in the stands never stopped, and at this time, Kobe was hugging his teammates one by one.
After Kobe hugged everyone, Kobe returned to the court, but this time he was not playing, he was holding a microphone in his hand.
“I can’t believe it’s been twenty years in the blink of an eye, it’s crazy.”
"On this court, I am very grateful to you for going through this with me. Thank you for accompanying me to the top of the mountain. Thank you for accompanying me through the valley. Thank you for never giving up."
"Compared with those champions, what makes me more proud is that our village is in the dormant period at the bottom~~~~"
…………………………………………..
"A very interesting thing happened today. In the past twenty years, countless fans have complained about me not passing the ball, and tonight, everyone actually told me not to pass the ball. This is really wonderful for me."
"I love you all."
………………………………
"And to my family, I want to thank Vanessa, my daughters Natalia and Gianna, for the sacrifices you have made for me."
………………………………
"By the way, I also want to thank Li, my little brother. I know your energy is much more than what you show now, but you have been patient for me, but from next season you can unleash your abilities to the fullest, I also believe The Lakers will move to glory under your leadership."
……………………………..
"Finally, what else can I say?"
"Mamba, out."
