Phil Jackson sat down dejectedly, he knew that Kobe Bryant had gone crazy in this game, just like Jordan in the big year! The game has been taken over by Kobe, Kobe is the leader of the whole team at this moment, that is, he sees that Kobe Bryant's physical strength has been overdrawn, and he wants to replace him to take a break, but he can't do it at all, not to mention that Kobe Bryant will not agree, even the Los Angeles fans in the stadium will not agree.

Kobe Bryant's counterattack soon came, it was still a landmark continuous disguised breakthrough, people couldn't see the shadow of the person who even struggled to walk just now, at this moment he seemed to be full of strength, and the bag defense of Battier and Chauncey Billups seemed to have all become ornaments in his eyes.

"Sean, keep an eye on your left!Keep your weight down and don't be fooled by his feints!" Chauncey, a former member of the Defensive Team of the Year, is now using his experience to help his teammates on the spot.

Battier followed Chauncey Billups' instructions and reacted quickly, doing everything in his power to prevent Bryant from scoring.

But God destined Kobe to be the god on the court today, an omnipotent god, even in the face of Battier and Chauncey Billups, he still found an opportunity.

Seeing that he couldn't break through, Kobe Bryant suddenly stood up straight, looking as if he was going to take a break.

Seeing this, Battier couldn't help but be distracted for a while.

In less than a second, Kobe Bryant still accurately grasped the opportunity, kicked his right foot with a short body, and took advantage of Lamar's relaxation to drill through the gap between the two people.

"Oops!"

Battier secretly screamed bad and hurriedly chased back, and while Kobe Bryant jumped up to shoot, he also jumped up, waving his hand at the right time to block.

But at this moment, Kobe Bryant made an unexpected choice, and with a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball to Sprewell, who was ambushed outside the three-point line.

At this time, Sprewell didn't even have a defender by his side, and when he received Kobe's pass, he didn't hesitate, and shot a three-pointer with a fingertip.

"Huh!"

As the basketball entered the net, Van Gundy on the sidelines and Lamar on the court realized: This is bad!

Choosing to pass the ball at the last minute really equalized Lamar's expectations, and there was a very good opportunity just now, and with Lamar's understanding of Kobe, he should be desperate to shoot. But the opposite is true, he chose to trust his teammates at this critical juncture.

What a tough guy!

Lamar crossed his hands on his waist, looked at Kobe Bryant who slowly retreated to the halfcourt, and finally shrunk the score to three points, just this time the defense Battier almost blocked Kobe, he thought that the initiative of the game would be reversed in this offensive and defensive conversion, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Kobe Bryant.

"I didn't expect Kobe Bryant to choose to pass the ball? That's not his style!" Chauncey Billups said, dribbling forward.

Lamar looked at Kobe's almost collapsed appearance and immediately understood. It turned out that he couldn't hold on to pass the ball, maybe that breakthrough just now had exhausted his physical strength?!

After half the ball, Chauncey Billups handed the ball to Lamar at the first time, and Lamar did not pause and rushed directly to the defense area in charge of Shaq.

"Kurt, you go defend Lamar!"

Phil Jackson saw that Shaq was lazily on the field and didn't even move, and shouted loudly in a hurry, he didn't care about Shaq's dignity. He just wants to win the game, nothing else matters to him.

Cote Thomas hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Shaq. But he was glared back by Shaq, who understood what Shaq meant and stood still and continued to follow Dampoter.

But at this time, Kobe Bryant moved, as if Saint Seiya Xiaoqiang was burning his own life, he almost jumped out of his body's instinct and pounced on Lamar, and quickly stretched out his hands to the basketball.

Steals?

The physical exertion has reached this point, and he still thinks about helping to defend and steal?

Lamar, of course, understands Kobe's thoughts, and instead of letting Shaq do meaningless tricks to defend, it is better to gamble on his own character.

It's just that such a gambling steal is also meaningless for Lamar, just a simple pull ball and turn around makes Kobe's steal useless.

Seeing Lamar break through, the rest of the Knicks players quickly got moving. Battier moved a few steps sideways to make a pick-and-roll for Chauncey Billups. Chauncey Billups took advantage of this gap to move quickly to the bottom left corner, and Sprewell was stunned by the two of them switching positions and running, and he couldn't keep up in time

Lamar saw that Chauncy Billups was unguarded and passed the ball as soon as possible.

After Chauncey received the ball, he immediately jumped up and made a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

The basketball swept the net, and it looks like Chauncey Billups still has a big heart!

"Good shot!" Lamar complimented with a smile.

"You're the one who made the pass!" Chaunsibilups said with a smile, not expecting Lamar to pass the ball in time when he was running, only to move instinctively.

Who knew that Lamar's vision was so broad, and he accurately found his identity.

Kobe Bryant couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that the score gap was narrowed to three points again, but he quickly regained his spirits.

"Kurt, give me the ball!"

Cote Thomas could also see that Kobe Bryant had reached the limit of his physical strength, but he still faithfully carried out Kobe's order and sent the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant took a deep breath after catching the ball, he was so tired that his brain felt a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen. It's been a long time since I've felt like this, not even in the finals. It can only be said that this game was too hard, and his spirit was always in a tense state.

Except for a break in the first quarter like Lamar, he could only force himself to stay on the court at other times because of the huge pressure given by the Knicks, knowing that the game was coming to an end, he didn't get even a second of rest.

Although Lamar is the same as him, because he has changed his playing style, he is much easier than Kobe.

Bryant stood in place for a few seconds and dribbled forward again, trying to make his steps look light.

After half time, Battier and Chauncy Billups pressed up, but because of his assist just now, Chauncy Billups seemed a little scrupulous, and did not forget to take care of Mark Jackson at any time while approaching Kobe.

Bryant smiled slightly, he knew that the assist he had just made had had worked, at least Chauncey Billups had been forced to be distracted.

Chauncee Billups was distracted by Mark Jackson, who was ambushed on the outside, and there was an opening in what should have been a tight defense between him and Battier, which was unavoidable, after all, the old guy Mark Jackson's three-point shooting was not vegetarian.

Kobe Bryant accurately grasped Chauncey Billups's scruples, rose up and attacked decisively, forcibly passing between Battier and Chauncey Billups.

Battier was broken through one after another by a Kobe Bryant who had reached the limit of his physical strength, and he was also a little annoyed.

"Is this another trick? How can it make you happy!" said Kobe Bryant, jumping up at the same time, stretching out his arms to block Kobe's shot.

Chauncey Billups also gave up on chasing the defense and rushed to Mark Jackson's position to prevent his three-pointer.

Kobe Bryant also felt Battier's big hand getting closer and closer to him, and he was about to play the basketball in his hand. Kobe Bryant made a decisive change, only this time he didn't choose to pass.

Just as Battier was about to hit the ball, Bryant handed the ball to his left hand and blocked Battier's blow with his right hand. Then he tossed the ball with his left hand, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket after crossing an arc.

The fans at the scene could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts and shouted loudly. Some emotional fans were also moved by Kobe's insistence on fighting, and tears came out of their eyes.

After landing on the ground, Kobe Bryant slipped and fell heavily to the ground, panting heavily, and he completely collapsed.

The referee's whistle also sounded at this moment, and Battier was fouled on defense and added a free throw.

Bryant was pulled up by his teammates and was thinking about making a free throw. Unexpectedly, Phil Jackson called a timeout at this time.

Kobe Bryant glanced at Phil Jackson suspiciously, but still returned to the rest area with the help of his teammates.

"Get some rest!" said Phil Jackson, who had only said that, and sat still.

"What? are you going to replace me?" Kobe Bryant felt a burst of anger for no reason, the game was going on at the most critical moment, and when the victory or defeat between himself and Lamar was about to be decided, he actually had to replace himself, which made Kobe Bryant can't help but question loudly.

Phil Jackson was not annoyed, but said lightly: "I didn't say that I wanted to replace you, I just said that you should have a good rest." ”

"Coach, please make it clear what you mean, I don't want to miss the fight against Lamar, I don't want to miss a second! You should know how important this game is to me, as long as I win Lamar, I win everything. ”

"I know, so I'm going to use up all the timeouts in my hand to give you a good rest!"

Kobe Bryant was stunned, he didn't expect Phil Jackson to do this for him! In fact, he already knew last year that in Phil Jackson's heart, Lamar was more suitable than him to be the future leader of this team. So after the start of the new season, he went out of his way on the court, just to prove to Phil Jackson that he was better than Lamar.

Kobe Bryant was stunned for a while, just lowered his head and said, "Thank you!"

While the Lakers are playing a tie, the players on the Knicks' side are also taking time to rest. They all knew that when the timeout was over, it would be the decisive moment.

"Sean, isn't Kobe Bryant difficult to deal with?" Van Gundy asked knowingly as he looked at Sean Battier.

He doesn't really care about winning or losing this game, and it is more important for him to gain a playmaker Lamar than to win the game. So Jeff's mood is now lighter.
