Chapter 1014

But when the second game ended, these people who cheered for the Lakers completely dropped their eyes to the ground!

Look at the big score displayed on the electronic scorer in the Staples Center arena - 117:95. When the 22-point gap was presented in front of people, fans who originally thought that the Knicks would not win finally knew that the Knicks' first game was not a fluke, but on the contrary, it was God's favor that the Lakers could force the Knicks to that extent.

Before the start of Game 2, almost all the media thought that the Lakers, who had already lost for a while, would definitely fight back at the second home court to tie the overall score. Even the articles published in the local New York newspaper were not optimistic about their home team, the Knicks.

After all, the Lakers are also a super strong team, and not everyone can solve it casually, not to mention that the Lakers still occupy a favorable location. The Knicks want to win two straight games on the Lakers' doorstep, and that's basically not going to happen.

Basically, fans and pundits and media are on the same page that the Lakers will be bombarding the Knicks from the start of Game 2, and that the Knicks will be resisting for a while, possibly starting to fall behind until the end of the fourth quarter. Then the Knicks, who were pushed to the cliff, had to resort to shark slashing tactics, but in the end, the Lakers would still win.

It's just that their wishes were ultimately frustrated. They did guess the beginning - the Lakers launched a crazy attack on the Knicks as soon as they came up, and for a while the Lakers couldn't hold down the Knicks' offense. But they didn't guess the outcome - the Lakers quickly paid the price for their recklessness, the Lakers, who consumed a lot of physical energy on offense, and the Knicks, who were on a desperate counterattack, paid a heavy price for their defensive negligence.

In the final three minutes of the first quarter, Lamar, who had been on the sidelines for the previous game, finally began to pull out his machete and hit three consecutive three-pointers to help his team equalize the score.

The second quarter of the game was entirely the personal time of rookie Wade, who completely dominated the game during the rest of the main players on both sides, such as Lamar and Kobe.

Wade first used a lost step to clean up the small fish Fisher, and then frequently broke through the inside line to score consecutive points and caused Scola's foul.

Finally, in the fifth minute of the second quarter, the Lakers' main interior substitute, Scola, was substituted off the break because he had accumulated three fouls.

Medvedenko, who came off the bench, was even more incompetent than Scola, and he had to use foul tactics as a last resort.

Perhaps God thinks he should take care of this hard-working little guy in the Knicks lineup, Wade's eight consecutive free throws didn't miss all of them.

Finally, when the second quarter ended, the Knicks extended their lead to 13 points with Wade's astonishing 19 points in the first quarter.

After the start of the third quarter, the Lakers, who were cornered, began to fight back.

This time it wasn't just Kobe Bryant, everyone on the Lakers team showed super individual ability.

O'Neal, who was back on the court, showed no mercy in the face of Anderson, hitting a series of small hook shots.

Joe Johnson finally showed his worth in this quarter, hitting back-to-back three-pointers from the outside.

Karl Malone also began to play, and although his mid-range shooting skills were poor, combined with his strong body, the Knicks' defense was also turned upside down by him.

Of course, I can't help but mention Kobe, who felt the danger, the black mamba showed his extremely fierce side, and his hideous fangs instantly poisoned Flash Wade.

The Lakers launched a big counterattack, and the Knicks were not far behind.

Lamar stepped up again when the Lakers pressed the score to three points, hitting the inside in succession, and although he missed both shots, it caused O'Neal to be fouled twice, forcing Jackson to replace O'Neal again.

Although the Lakers, who lack the core of the interior, are not at a disadvantage in rebounding, but without O'Neal's high-level response, the Lakers' tactical cooperation is obviously much more monotonous. With no choice, the Lakers began to rely on Kobe Bryant's continuous strong attacks to try to save the score.

Kobe Bryant is a great attacker, the best attacker in the league, there's no doubt about that. But he is not a qualified court leader, Kobe Bryant can use his own efforts to lead other players to play together, but he can't let his teammates around him play to their potential and show the strongest attacking power.

Without O'Neal, Joe Johnson and Karl Malone never got a chance on the outside again, and could only watch Kobe Bryant attack the opponent's defense again and again, but they couldn't help at all.

But no matter how powerful Kobe Bryant is, he is just a person, and he still has a long way to go before he is God. Kobe Bryant's attack is strong, but there is no guarantee that his physical strength is as tough as his spirit. When Kobe Bryant's physical strength is exhausted, it is inevitable that the Lakers will fall apart

The entire fourth quarter was completely under the Knicks' domain, and Van Gundy, who had the chance to win, even began to rotate the lineup.

On the Lakers' side, except for Kobe, everyone else seems to have lost the courage to fight, and the situation on the court has completely become Kobe Bryant alone against the entire Knicks team.

Lakers fans are completely quiet now, they can only honestly sit in their seats and watch Kobe Bryant break into the Knicks' heavy defense again and again, fall again and again, and return again and again in vain.

With five minutes left in the game, Jackson had no choice but to give up, and his calculations became vulnerable in the face of the Knicks' great strength.

watched O'Neal, the interior pillar who was regarded as his spiritual pillar, be ejected from the game with six fouls, watched Joe Johnson, who was given the second point of attack by himself, completely dumb under Battier's defense, watched Karl Malone, who joined the Lakers at the beginning of the season to reduce his price for the championship, become a broken fishing net in front of Lamar, and looked at Kobe's angry eyes!

Jackson knew he had lost this time, and even though the team had two games to go, he really didn't have the confidence to walk away from Madison, the Knicks' hellish home court.

As soon as the game ended, Bryant left the court. He didn't go back to the locker room, he drove straight home, he didn't want to stay here anymore, he didn't want to face failure.

After getting rid of Lamar, he thought that he could naturally become the centerpiece of the Lakers' future, and O'Neal would recognize his strength and willingly hand over the scepter in his hand.

However, the truth is always so cruel. Not only did the dead fat man not have the slightest intention of giving way, but he even had to continue to assist him willingly. For this reason, the once intimate OK group broke out into the strongest and most lasting conflict in history, and even made everyone know about it for a time.

Although under the persuasion of Lakers management and Phil Jackson, the two chose patience for the championship. But after the season, Bryant suddenly realized that his patience didn't seem to be paying off.

Although the Lakers have not yet gone through the final trial, it is estimated that no one is optimistic about them anymore. With two straight home losses, the Lakers seem to have lost everything.

"Bang bang bang!" In Kobe's personal training gym, the Black Mamba is venting his physical strength.

Kobe Bryant hated failure and hated life without honor. Although he had three championship rings at his age, even Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball god at the time, did not do it. But in the face of the power struggle within the team and the impending defeat, those three championship rings seemed like a sarcasm to him.

Kobe Bryant's girlfriend stood at the door of the training gym, watching her boyfriend go crazy, and she didn't say a word. For Kobe, a seemingly arrogant man, she knows better than anyone else.

Tenacity is just Kobe's disguise, in fact, Kobe is just a stubborn and somewhat willful child. Although he seems to be very cold about anything other than basketball, Brandi knows that what Kobe Bryant wants most is cheers from others.

But now the pride in Kobe's heart has been trampled under the feet of one of the most powerful enemies in his life, which is simply a big blow to Kobe. Brandi hoped Kobe Bryant would pull through, but it seems like it's really hard right now.

"Kobe!" I think you should be quiet now, what you need is to calm down and think about it, not go crazy like you are now!" When Bryant fell to the ground again due to extreme fatigue, Brandi finally couldn't help but speak. She walked over and grabbed Kobe, who was still trying to pick up the ball, and shouted loudly.

"You go away!" Bryant flicked his arm and broke free.

Bryant was just about to bend down to pick up the ball, but his head suddenly felt dizzy and he fell to the floor. He had just played a game, and his physical exertion was already very large, and after coming back, he had such a desperate vent, and he was already seriously out of strength.

"Okay! Kobe, stop being willful! You're just torturing yourself right now, and this stupidity won't help your game!" Brandi squatted on the ground and tried to help Kobe Bryant up, but Kobe didn't appreciate it.

Bryant pushed Brandi out of the way and struggled to get up, but couldn't.

"Damn, damn it, damn it!" Bryant shouted, trying to vent all his frustration and depression through shouting.

In fact, Kobe Bryant admires Lamar very much, but at the same time he hates Lamar very much. Vanessa and the alliance would have been his, if that person hadn't shown up, but now Lamar had robbed him of everything.

Especially this time, just when Kobe Bryant endured the humiliation and was full of confidence to attack the championship, it was Lamar who came out to disrupt the situation.
