After Delon hit both free throws, the score became 57-48, and the Jazz led by nine points, with 53 seconds left before the end of the first half!

Bryant looked at the Zen master holding his hands on the sidelines, the plan was ruined and the tactics needed to be changed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info Zen master also understood what Kobe Bryant was thinking, so he folded his little fingers and whistled!

This whistle was short and sharp, piercing the noisy shouts of the fans at the scene! When the Lakers players heard this whistle, they understood that they would change the established tactics and let Kobe Bryant decide everything on the court!

Li Du ran forward and glanced at Kobe. Bryant nodded lightly and then dribbled across half the court himself. Brewer followed all the way, but he really couldn't stop Kobe.

Leaning sideways against Brewer and protecting the ball, Bryant beckoned to Odom.

When everyone thought that Kobe Bryant was asking Odom to cover with him, Odom and Li Du suddenly ran towards each other at the same time!

Odom and Lidu passed by, and then Odom blocked Kirilenko, who was following Lidu, and Lidu blocked Boozer, who was following Odom. Then, Odom immediately pulled out, and Li Du turned sideways, letting Odom go at the same time, and blocked Kirilenko again!

This time, Li Du blocked two people at the same time! He was like a tree that had taken root, standing firmly in place, no matter how hard Boozer and Kirilenko pushed him, Li Du didn't move at all!

Odom, who was empty, received a pass from Kobe Bryant and scored the ball smoothly!

57-50, the Lakers are still 7 points behind, and there are 33 seconds left in the first half!

Li Du did not follow his teammates back to defend this time, but directly stuck to Delong!

Delong had heard of Li Du's reputation for a long time, and he had never confronted Li Du head-on today, and when he met this time, he immediately realized that Li Du was worthy of his reputation! No matter how Delong swayed and ran back, he couldn't get rid of Li Du.

Seeing that the penalty time was approaching, Kirilenko hurriedly threw the ball to Brewer, who rushed back from the front to pick it up.

When Brewer received the ball, Fisher had already posted it!

Defend tightly! In the last 33 seconds of the first half, the Lakers suddenly changed their defensive state and actively fought hard!

Brewer held Fisher on top of him, dribbled the ball hard past half court, and immediately picked up the ball and passed it to Oku, the big center who was standing at the top of the three-point arc. That's a breath of relief!

Delong was not well entangled by Li Du, and only came to the front court at this time, but he couldn't receive the ball, Li Du followed the defense, and he didn't have any chance. In desperation, Delon had to let Oku decide how to attack for themselves, as long as they attacked with the last seven seconds left in 24 seconds.

Oku is a European interior lineman, in addition to his physical height, he also has delicate dribbling and passing skills. Seeing that Delong couldn't get rid of it, he didn't care, holding the basketball high with both hands, and waited until there were only 7 seconds left in the offensive time, when Oku moved.

He topped Kwame Brown twice in a row, just slightly opened up a little space, turned his back and threw with his hands open!

With a "bell", the back edge of the basketball frame popped up, and Kobe Bryant jumped high and hugged the basketball tightly.

Seeing that there were only 14 seconds left in the time, Kobe Bryant didn't dare to stop, dribbling and running across the front court, under the block of Brewer, Kobe Bryant didn't wait for anyone else, he changed hands under his crotch two times in a row, his body swung left and right sharply, and at the same time moved forward!

Brewer was shaken by Kobe's set of actions, and was carried by Kobe Bryant on his shoulder, and almost sat on the ground! Kobe Bryant took the opportunity to shoot outside the three-point line!

"Bell"! The basketball hit the back edge of the hoop and bounced straight up!

"Rebounding!" Interior players on both sides rushed desperately to the basket, ready to grab the rebound.

"Knock, knock, knock" The basketball tossed three times on the rim before reluctantly rolling into the hoop!

57-53, with Kobe Bryant's astonishing three-point shot, the difference between the two teams finally returned to within 5 points!

There were only two seconds left before the end of the first half, and after the Jazz sent the ball, they had no time to dribble and could only shoot directly, and the ball missed, and the score between the two sides was fixed at 57-53 in the first half, and the Lakers trailed by 4 points.

At halftime, Barkley and Smith were analyzing the good and bad performances of the Lakers and Jazz today, and the two of them were talking. Magic Johnson and Malone rarely spoke, and they both seemed to be worried about something.

What the Magic is worried about can be seen in the on-court statistics. On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant played 20 minutes in the first half alone, and the other starters also played at least 17 minutes.

Moreover, Kobe Bryant shot 6 of 14 in the first half, and the shooting rate was obviously much lower than in the previous game, and the shooting rate of other Lakers players was good, but there were not many opportunities, and there was a lack of a person who could take the initiative to attack and tear apart the Jazz defense.

But this is not a problem that can be solved in one game, and the Lakers will either trade for a player who is strong enough to attack, even if the defense is not good; Or just wait for the players in the team to gradually mature and gradually improve and enrich their offensive skills.

The Jazz are more blossoming, except for Kirilenko, who has been entangled with Li Du throughout the first half, everyone else has scored. Especially Deron and Boozer, their blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation is still unsolved today, plus it is Fisher, who is weak in the Lakers' defense, Delon got 16 points and 7 assists in the first half, and Boozer also got 18 points and 5 rebounds.

However, the Jazz are not without hidden dangers, starting from the second half of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant and Li Du started to exert their power one after another, and the Jazz led by up to 12 points to only 4 points. was chased back 8 points at once, in addition to Kobe and Li Du having no solution on the offensive end, the Jazz also had some problems when defending Kobe and Li Du, especially once Kobe was ruthless, Brewer couldn't limit Kobe Bryant at all.

How to better limit Kobe Bryant in the second half and how to stop Li Du's near-every shot is a problem that the Jazz need to solve.

In the Jazz locker room, Sloan was yelling at the players, "Are you all sleepwalking?" The 12-point advantage was chased in a few minutes and only 4 points remained! This is our turf, how long do you want the Lakers to be arrogant here? Or want to get straight to your ass kicked by them! ”

Sloan, who has always been known for his strict discipline, and this time against an old rival, he couldn't tolerate the Jazz being tied by the Lakers in the second half of the second quarter. He pointed at everyone and yelled, "Do you want to lose face at home? Would you like to see the home fans put on a poor performance for you? If you don't want to, show me your attitude! ”

Delon, Boozer, Oku, and the others looked at each other for a moment, but did not say anything. This is Sloan's usual tactic at home, and when the situation is unfavorable, he will encourage the players to strengthen their physical confrontation and even savage defense!
