During the break, the TNT commentators analysed the game.

Barkley laughed: "Most of the media was desperate to promote Kobe Bryant's 'rebirth' and try to convince people that Kobe Bryant was happy to share the ball, and his desire to win made other players bow down. They're always trying to get fans to think, 'Kobe Bryant is the greatest star you've ever seen,' 'Kobe Bryant is as old as a coach on ......the court,' and it's intriguing that the media does that, right? But now Kobe Bryant has a feeling of being beaten back to his original shape. ”

Smith said: "I think Kobe Bryant is good enough, his stats are still the most beautiful for the Lakers, and Gasol played well today, and the two helped the Lakers bite the score." But the Warriors are better overall. ”

Barkley said: "Kobe's shortcomings are still the same as before, and everyone is tired of talking about it. It's hard to say exactly what the relationship between Kobe Bryant and Jackson is. Until now, this has been a very complex and difficult issue to articulate. One of the images I remember the most was in Game 2, when Kobe Bryant tried to play four and barely missed the shot, and Jackson had that look of 'Should I tell him Jordan would definitely pass in that situation?' And the next few games, Jackson would have that look on his face, and I think it means that he said nothing. ”

Smith asked, "What do you think their relationship is?" ”

Barkley said: "In my opinion, the relationship between a coach and a player is like marriage. When you spend too much time with someone, you will find their strengths, but their shortcomings must not be hidden. For Jackson, Jordan was his first 'wife' and Kobe Bryant was the second. So you see, when Kobe Bryant is doing stupid things on the court, Jackson is like a husband seeing his wife who does the wrong housework, with frustration and dissatisfaction written all over his face. Maybe you can't sum up what Jackson did to Kobe Bryant with 'change', but Jackson did push Kobe in the back and steer him in the right direction. It's a shame that Bryant is playing the right way and lacks some consistency. ”

Smith asked, "So what do you think Kobe Bryant can leave on NBA history?" ”

Barkley shook his head and smiled, "It's hard to say. Kobe Bryant is indeed great, but the greatness here is mainly to say that he works hard. Since he turned down Chicago's invitation, he has been working at full speed. Winning an MVP, an Olympic gold medal, giving up a summer break, 164 games plus 40 playoff games in two seasons, and the summer Olympics, Kobe Bryant has not rested at all for two years. But I don't know how many of Kobe's revealed qualities have been artificially distorted. I don't know if this guy is still as selfish as he was a few years ago. I don't know if Kobe Bryant has learned how to be a leader and, like an actor, make everyone feel like he's thrown away his selfish qualities. I don't know what he thinks, 'I'm going to win my fourth championship' or 'I'm going to lead the team to win the championship'? If he doesn't say it, maybe we will never know the Tao. But one thing is for sure, he really is not as good as Jordan. ”

Smith asked, "Who do you think is the core of the Warriors?" ”

"Zhou Xuan. There's no doubt that he's a super guard, can assist and score, and as long as he's on the court, the Warriors' offense will never be chaotic. He's been no worse this season than Paul was when he first entered the league, and given his age, he should be improving. ”

In the last quarter, the Clippers replaced Azubuke in order to strengthen their defense. The other four are Zhou Xuan, Jackson, Marion, and Randolph.

The rest of the Warriors didn't feel good, Zhou Xuan stepped up to score, and old Nelson shouted thank God. And he also gave Zhou Xuan unlimited shooting rights in the fourth quarter, as long as his teammates have no obvious opportunities, he can choose to play alone.

As soon as Zhou Xuan came up, he asked for a double block, and the coach arranged it, so he had no reason not to play. It was the perfect game to get the super stats and send the Lakers out.

As soon as it was brought to the frontcourt, Marion covered, Zhou Xuan got rid of Kobe Bryant and went to the middle, and Randolph covered again, blocking Fisher. Lao Yu finally played, and in the crucial fourth quarter, he was more reliable on the offensive end than the other two guards. But the defense is not so reliable.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball to the bottom line by relying on Odom, found a good step point in front of the free throw line, pulled the ball and jumped towards Odom. This kind of jump under high-speed movement is easy to lose balance as long as the body is in contact, and as long as Odom does not dodge, Zhou Xuan can make a foul. If he dodges, then Zhou Xuan will be able to go to the basket and go to the basket. Odom was at a disadvantage in speed, how could he think of the option of "dodging", and collided with Zhou Xuan solidly, Zhou Xuan tilted his body and threw the ball to the basket, but he didn't score, but the referee blew the whistle and made a successful foul.

Odom had a sad face and was very helpless, so he could only watch Zhou Xuan go to the free throw line, he kept his touch, hit both free throws, and scored 34 points, 93-87.

The Lakers attacked, the ball was handed to Gasol, the Warriors compressed the defense, Zhou Xuan retreated to put pressure on Gasol, Gasol knew that he didn't dare to let Kobe Bryant go, unmoved, and turned to the middle hook shot. 93 to 89.

After two minutes of playing, Kobe Bryant hit a shot again, and singled Zhou Xuan in a one-step stop-and-go jump shot within the three-point line. 93 to 91.

Zhou Xuan dodged Kobe Bryant after blocking and dismantling, dribbled the ball to the left side, and the person who changed the defense became Fisher. After a few offenses, he found that this was an opportunity, although the Lakers did not let Fisher defend him directly, but after blocking and dismantling, Kobe did not dare to bypass to wrap the clamp, otherwise Marion's periphery would be directly emptied.

Zhou Xuan pretended to pass the ball to Randolph who wanted the ball in the low post, and after shaking it for a while, he suddenly took the ball and shot it on the periphery.

What Fisher is most afraid of is that the opponent will pull out, Zhou Xuan's shooting rhythm is very good, although he was blinded by Fisher, he still scored! 96-91, 37th personal score.

Su Qun said: "This Zhou Xuan is too strong, whenever the Lakers chase close, he can shoot a key shot to suppress the momentum of the opponent's chasing points, and today he shot three points, which is the fourth in the individual." ”

"It's harder to score in the playoffs than in the regular season, but today he has a good chance of scoring more than 40 points and breaking his career scoring record," Yang said. ”

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant received the ball on the outside, and Gasol was still consuming physical strength to grab a position with Randolph, and Randolph's top defense was very good. Bryant hoisted the ball inside and Gasol turned and missed a jumper.

After only a five-minute break, Gasol's stamina began to drop. He's been playing this series for too long, and he's already a bit overdrawn.

Odom got stuck in the basket, grabbed the rebound in the front court, leaned on Marion, forced a shot in the middle, and Randolph jumped with all his strength to cover the ball. Odom always felt that Randolph was no threat under the basket, and he was careless. In fact, Randolph can also jump, especially since he has Turiaf as a substitute, and his playing time is only 24 minutes so far.

Azubuk picks up the basketball, and Ariza follows him. He didn't see a good chance to attack quickly, so he handed it over to Zhou Xuan's organization.

The Lakers stepped up their defense and said they had to defend the ball. Zhou Xuan observed the situation on the court and gave the ball to Jackson, who did not force his shot in the face of Fisher, he felt average today, dribbled a step to see Randolph's position, and passed it back to Zhou Xuan on the periphery.

Randolph pulled to the perimeter to cover and blocked Kobe, and Zhou Xuan got rid of the ball laterally.

Gasol defended and blocked the breakthrough route, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball out of the road again. After two passes, the warriors did not find a vacancy, there were 5 seconds left, and the ball was in Zhou Xuan's hands again, he calculated the time, did not panic at all, and chose to bring it to the bottom line.

Now the field is out of place, and it is Gasol who is defending. Zhou Xuan almost reached the bottom line and stepped back, pulling up. Gasol also calculated the time, he believed that Zhou Xuan was going to throw, so he rushed out of the ball to block, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to shoot very far and give it to the middle.

Marion and Jackson in the middle covered without the ball, cut in the middle, blocked Fisher behind, Zhou Xuan passed a half-high ball, below the basket, Marion received the basketball in the air. 98 to 91. Zhou Xuan's 9th assist in this game.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant was still depressed, Jackson arranged for him to see the right time to pass the ball to his teammates, but Gasol couldn't squeeze Randolph and could only shoot outside the restricted area. Who else can he give but Gasol?

Fisher struggled with the outside singles. Ariza doesn't attack with the ball, otherwise the shooting percentage is rubbish. It is rumored that Odom has a certain advantage in single-handedly beating Marion, but this advantage is too small, and Odom has a terrible hand today. Kobe Bryant thought about it, but he couldn't beat Zhou Xuan alone.

Zhou Xuan followed the defense very strictly, Kobe Bryant broke through with the ball and walked on the right side, dribbled under the crotch and changed direction, Zhou Xuan followed this step, Odom came out to cover, Kobe Bryant rushed to the middle again, and Marion blocked it.

Bryant paused, dribbled the ball under his crotch and broke through to the left with his left hand, jumping and shaking the distance. Jackson let go of Fisher to catch up with the block from the side, Marion also jumped up the block from the middle, Fisher was released at a 60-degree angle, but Kobe Bryant would not pass the ball to the back of his head, he chose a difficult backward jumper, and the ball went in! 98 to 93.

Zhou Xuan first covered with Marion and brought to the side to face Fisher, Kobe Bryant was worried that Zhou Xuan would jump from Fisher's head again, bypass the defense to chase the defense, and Zhou Xuan immediately passed to Marion who cut in the middle. The zone defense can't leave the position casually, but Kobe Bryant didn't trust his teammates and directly let go of the defender, Marion threw in the middle before Odom came up to make up for the defense, and the posture of stretching his neck was a bit weird, but it went in. 100 to 93.

Kobe Bryant wanted to return the color after half court, and ran directly to the right low post to ask for the ball, Ariza hoisted the ball in, and under Marion's interference, Kobe Bryant turned and missed a backward jumper. Randolph grabbed the rebound and passed the ball nearby, and Jackson took the ball and threw it to the frontcourt.

Zhou Xuan completely shook off Odom, Jackson passed a little big, Zhou Xuan had already reached the basket when he received the ball, his back to the basket did not jump, and he threw the ball to the basket with his right backhand, he could only do this, otherwise he would rush out of bounds by inertia. The ball hits the board and falls into the basket. 102 to 93. A near-missable pass made for a beautiful attack.

Zhou Xuan's personal 39th point, the Los Angeles home stadium once again heard the applause and cheers of Chinese fans.
