Facts have proved that sometimes bold decisions are right!

In the second quarter, Kobe really went berserk!

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers sent the little flying squirrel. With Liu Xiu's defensive containment, the little flying squirrel scored continuously from the outside and faced off against Kobe!

Liu Xiu and Xiao Fei Squirrel have obvious strength gaps compared with Kobe.

Kobe can do it alone, but Liu Xiu and Xiao Fei Shou need to cooperate with their teammates.

But the two of them have teammates to cooperate with! And there are many of them!

At 11 minutes and 41 seconds of the second quarter, Kobe turned around and hit a long two-pointer against the defender, raising his personal score in the single quarter to 15 points, chasing the score to 53-60, and clinging to the score.

.

Kobe's current goal is to hold on to the score until the end and hit the key ball.

But then, Rahim hit a three-pointer from the sideline, and the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 10 points!

On the last possession, Odom received the ball and missed three points from the backcourt.

The halftime buzzer sounded, 63 to 53, and the Trail Blazers led by 10 points heading into the intermission!

Maurice Cheeks' bold rotation prevented the Trail Blazers from being pierced by Kobe Bryant!

This is based on lessons learned from the Mavericks.

The Lakers and Mavericks played against each other three times this season, with the Lakers winning 2 and losing 1. In both of the Lakers' wins, Kobe went berserk, while the Mavericks responded steadily, only to be defeated by Kobe.

The only game the Mavericks won was when Nelson rotated eight players for the entire game. In the last eight players, seven of them scored in double figures. They responded with the strongest firepower throughout the game, and finally won the game with 118 points.

However, to gain the lead with Kobe's 4-of-7 shooting performance (including 2-of-3 three-pointers), plus 5-of-6 free throws, and a single-quarter performance of 15 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, and 1 block, he had to rely on the Lakers coach.

Rigid rotation.

And this is why Kobe, who scored 24 points and 6 assists at halftime, is now furious.

He had 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter!

Their entire team scored only 28 points in a single quarter!

The more Kobe thought about it, the angrier he became. Because of the effect of Liu Xiu's 'Reverse Conqueror', he was much more sensitive than usual tonight.

If it were another opponent, even if the situation was the same, he would have far fewer negative thoughts.

The head coach was replaced by Frank Hamblen from Tomjanovich. Kobe, who was particularly sensitive tonight, felt the gap as big as ever before!

He really felt that it would be better for him to vote alone!

He might as well do it himself!

Maybe he can score more points than his opponent by shooting alone!

After passing through the player tunnel and about to enter the locker room, he stopped, took a deep breath, and said silently: I am the boss, I want to be calm, and I want to lead the team forward. I can't be careless and petty like before. No one

Help me to support...

Support?

A figure of a fat man appeared in Kobe's mind.

Why do you think of him?

Kobe, who had just tried to calm down his emotions, became excited again. When he saw the fire extinguisher hanging on his waist, it was blazing red, like the face of the fat man wearing the red jersey, and he punched it.

"ah……"

The Lakers coach and players in the visiting team's locker room heard a scream...

…

In the home team's locker room, although the Trail Blazers players were leading by 10 points, they did not dare to be careless.

In the second quarter, Kobe went berserk and the point difference was once only 3 points. The advantage was thanks to the Flying Squirrel's 9 points in a single quarter and Raheem's 5 points in a single quarter to hold up the situation.

Liu Xiu's performance of 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter is not bad. It is basically his average performance in a single quarter without breaking out, which is quite good.

The first game in the second half of the season must be won. If you fall behind from the beginning and fail to come back in the end, then there is nothing you can do if you don't accept it. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it.

But tonight they had such a big advantage from the beginning. If they were overturned by the opponent alone, where would they put their face?

24 points and 6 assists in the half, thanks to the opposing coach's poor response and rigid rotation. Atkins was defeated by the Warden...

The Trail Blazers players concentrated on preparing for the second half. After the coaching staff arranged the lineup and tactical adjustments, the players spontaneously gathered together to discuss how to deal with Kobe.

Suddenly, the door of the locker room was pushed open with a bang, and a staff member rushed in.

The coach yelled at the staff member: "Damn it, what are you doing?"

This is not a matter of status. Anyone who is interrupted by someone other than the participants during a meeting will be angry.

The staff quickly said: "Bryant was injured and went to the hospital!"

watt?

The Trail Blazers coaching staff and players collectively asked, "What's going on?"

The staff continued: "It seems that Bryant punched the fire extinguisher and broke his palm!"

Everyone present:???

…

With Kobe and Tomjanovich, the strength the Lakers have shown is at the 50-win level; with Kobe and without Tomjanovich, the strength the Lakers have shown is probably at the 40-win level, plus Kobe.

If they don't agree, they go berserk, and they can barely be regarded as a playoff-level team; but without Kobe...

The strength displayed by the Lakers is probably a little better than the three bad first-tier teams of the Hawks, Hornets, and Bobcats, but not comparable to the Jazz, Magic, and other second-tier teams.

Strength advantage.

Without Kobe, the Lakers' best player is Odom.

Odom has a very high ceiling, but his average performance in a season will not be much better than the current Hill, and even worse than Kirilenko who leads the team alone.

Odom's upper limit of strength is very high, which is more terrifying than his lower limit...

Kobe was suddenly injured and left the arena, and the Trail Blazers' halftime adjustments were in vain. There was nothing subtle about the hasty and impromptu adjustments - to strengthen defense in case of trouble.

As a result, the Lakers performed avalanche. Inside pillar Odom had 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers in a single quarter. Compared with the performance of 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the first half, it was shocking!

If the opponent's player is injured, but the star is still the star, the Trail Blazers players will not sympathize with the opponent because of this. Winning is the key.

The Lakers, who had a back-and-forth game with the Trail Blazers in the first half thanks to Kobe's 24 points and 6 assists, collapsed in the third quarter.

The Trail Blazers scored 25-11 in a single quarter! After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers 88-64, sending the game into garbage time!

Liu Xiu played half of the third quarter and scored 5 points and 1 assist. He played 26 minutes in the third quarter and scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Liu Xiu did not play again in the final quarter. Derrick Anderson, Fred Jones, Delfino, Outlaws, and Varejao started in the final quarter. In the middle, Little Flying Squirrel and McDyess played a few minutes. The top five starters

Didn't play again in the last quarter.

Even so, the Lakers were only tied with the Trail Blazers in the final quarter.

In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's 20+5+5 in three quarters, Raheem scored a team-high 22 points, and Xiao Fei's 18 points and 6 assists... The Trail Blazers easily defeated the Lakers 114-90 and won the championship.

Victory in the first half-way battle!

Liu Xiu was very happy to win the game, but also regretful that Kobe had already gone berserk. Liu Xiu played very well in the first half and was looking forward to competing with Kobe in the second half, but Kobe actually hit the fire extinguisher and broke his handle!

Liu Xiu failed to fight against the violent volute for the whole match...wait, fracture?

After a hundred days of muscle and bone injuries, is Kobe probably going to be reimbursed for this season?

Look at the Lakers' performance in the second half. Without Kobe...the biggest obstacle to the Lakers' failure has disappeared!

Liu Xiu asked Randolph next to him: "Butcher, do you think the Lakers will choose Bogut or Marvin Williams when they get the No. 1 pick?"

"..."

Randolph looked at Liu Xiu speechlessly... The butcher really understood the warden's brain circuit this time!
Chapter completed!
