The situation remained firmly in the hands of the Warriors in the second half.

Kobe Bryant went to help defend again and again, because Zhou Xuan didn't break through and didn't shoot, he just pulled outside and waited for his teammates to run, and then passed the ball. This makes Bryant completely useless on the defensive end. And as long as the Lakers change Fisher to defend, Zhou Xuan waved his hand, "Let's pull it away, I'll do it myself." ”

In the second half, Zhou Xuan had already stopped chattering, but Kobe Bryant looked at his face and felt that he had his own mockery skills. The Warriors are still guarding against Kobe Bryant and letting others shoot, Ariza performed well in this quarter, hitting two three-pointers, and also stealing and directly launching a fast-break dunk.

Fisher also hit a three-pointer and a layup.

In the last round of the series, Fisher was considered to be a statistically discolored Lakers player like Odom, and actually scored no more than 5 points in 4 games. However, considering that Lao Yu's opponent is Billups, his performance of only 12 turnovers and 29 assists is already good. When it came to the key game, Fisher stepped up instead, with 148 playoff games and a very good mentality. If there is a vacant seat, you can throw it in silently.

Gasol singled Randolph and scored 10 points, the Lakers' offense improved, scoring 34 points in a single quarter, but the Warriors' offense was not bad, the two guards fought back, Ellis scored twice in the face of the bag and broke through the layup, Margeti also threw a three-point whistle, and the Warriors still maintained a 12-point lead into the fourth quarter.

Without Bynum, Gasol played longer and began to lose his stamina in the fourth quarter. In order to ensure the team's momentum of chasing points, the "Zen Master" did not dare to replace Gasol, otherwise the Warriors would be more unscrupulous to wrap Kobe Bryant, and it is impossible to expect Powell to involve the defense. Odom has also not averaged as many points per game this season, focusing more on defense.

The loss of Bynum is by no means as simple as just one less person, but directly disrupts all the pre-game deployments of the Lakers. And the mentality of the players, the mentality of the coaching staff, has all been affected. No matter how determined the mind is, it is inevitable that people will think, what if Bynum is suspended, can we still win against the Warriors without a big general?

And the Warriors are missing Turyaf, and the Warriors coaching staff thinks that there is one less blue-collar who can block, and someone else has to fill the vacancy. No matter how good a player is, he can't cover 4 caps per game, and Turiaf's playing time can cover two caps is the limit, how much worse can it be? There were even people on the bench who were happy, and that was Randolph Jr. and Wright, and in the absence of Turiaf, they could get more chances.

They are all high-pick rookies, especially Wright, who was the eighth pick last year and is not willing to be a fringe player. The absence of the "butcher" has almost negligible psychological impact on the players.

Now Turyaf can't watch the game, take a shower in the dressing room and wait for news. He found that Zhou Xuan was right again, he and Bynum died together, and old Nelson didn't scold him, and he seemed a little happy. Although he may also be banned, he admits it.

Turiaf has a grudge against the Lakers. The contract renewal salary he asked for was not high, and the Warriors only offered 17 million for 4 years, an annual salary of about 4 million a year, and the Lakers were unwilling to match, so they were only willing to give him a two-year final salary, and he left. But back in Los Angeles, the fans booed him, as if he was a traitor to the Lakers.

Was he a slave in Los Angeles? If others don't give money, he still has to be loyal to the end? The NBA is a business, what loyalty? If Kupchak renews Kobe Bryant's contract and offers an annual salary of 10 million, Kobe will leave immediately.

In this series, Turyav turned his back in an alternative way. If the Warriors finally eliminate the Lakers, it is estimated that he will be a thorn in the side of Lakers fans, but what does it matter? He won't be back with the Lakers.

In the fourth quarter, the battle between the two sides continued, and Kobe Bryant only scored 4 points in the third quarter, and so far 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, he was limited by the Warriors' tactics.

As soon as Kobe Bryant catches the ball, Marion blocks in front and one person comes up from the side. He's been packed, and if you want to score, you have to play hard or fast, and the Warriors players are more mobile than the Lakers, and they are quick to defend, and if Kobe Bryant breaks one-on-one, they will also use fouls to stop them.

It is much looser to deal with Gasol's defense, that is, Randolph's single defense, if Gasol pulls to the periphery, Randolph will not go out on the bottom line and help cover Kobe.

Rub, didn't you say that Gasol is the core, you go and wrap him. Kobe Bryant thought depressedly.

The Warriors won't do that, because he's just trying to do it in vain. Gasol is not an avid stats enthusiast, and he is very selfless with the ball as soon as he encounters a pack or a defense. It is precisely because of his selflessness that he can't get super data, but he can ensure efficiency.

Gasol faced less pressure this time, increased the number of shots, and scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the third quarter. Statistically, he is indeed more of the core of the Lakers.

Four minutes into the fourth quarter, Bryant began to attack again. Although his hand is not smooth, although the defense is tight, he wants to score and lead the team to victory on his own. Kobe Bryant has a characteristic, the more he gets to the time when the score is anxious, the more critical the time, the more he distrusts his teammates, and it is better to rely on his teammates than on himself. He hopes to lead the team to win like he did in the 81-point game against the Raptors.

Many people say that Kobe Bryant has a big heart, but in fact, as long as you analyze the data, you will find that on the contrary, Kobe's mentality is a little abnormal.

If James has a poor hand and a strong shot, he will limit his shots to 15 shots, let his teammates shoot more, and help the team with passing and defense, so the Cavaliers have the best record in the league despite the average lineup.

On the other hand, Kobe Bryant, his teammates are hot and in good shape, and when he is in a sluggish state, he will still make more than 20 shots to become the team's shot king. If he doesn't feel good and passes to Gasol and Bynum to play more, and he doesn't shoot the most, is he still the boss? It's important for him to win the game, it's just as important to be the boss.

What is admirable about Kobe Bryant is his diligence and desire to win, which makes him inclined to paranoia, and in many cases it is Bryant's paranoia that causes the Lakers to lose. Many people say that Kobe Bryant's key shots are more daring than James' shots, but he only dares to shoot.

Facing the bukkake opponent in the bag seems to be very powerful, but when I saw that Kobe Bryant's shooting rate in the fourth quarter was only 31%, he was about to become an undercover agent, and it was better to pass it early if he had this confidence.

At 7 minutes and 13 seconds, Kobe Bryant hit an iron stop jump shot in the face of Marion after the block, the rebound was obtained by Randolph, the Warriors counterattacked, and Zhou Xuan assisted Ellis to score a layup.

At 6 minutes and 34 seconds, Bryant turned around in the low post and missed a backward jumper, the Warriors counterattacked, and Jackson misplaced Fisher to score a jumper.

At 5 minutes and 59 seconds, Kobe Bryant turned around in the low post and missed a backward jumper, the Warriors counterattacked, and Zhou Xuan passed Odom and scored a layup.

At 5 minutes and 13 seconds, Kobe Bryant broke through the ball and made a mistake, the Warriors counterattacked, and Zhou Xuan scored a layup.

The Warriors went on a 13-4 run in the fourth quarter to stretch the margin to 24 points, and the game went into garbage time.

Barkley commented: "The Lakers pulled out today, and the Warriors still kept the two in the low post, and if Odom and Ariza can get in, they will admit it." Ariza scored 18 points today and was in very good shape, but that didn't allow the Lakers to win. Against the Warriors, Kobe Bryant can't keep playing low back, and once he doesn't score, the Warriors counterattack will form a dislocation. If Ellis or Zhou Xuan singled Odom and Gasol, the success rate was very high, and they were too fast. ”

Smith said: "Kobe's back-to-back skills aren't perfect. In almost the same position, Jordan does moves widely, fast, and rhythmically. And Kobe Bryant generally has a small amplitude, many movements, and a slow rhythm, although Kobe Bryant has excellent physical flexibility and good ornamentation, but there is still a gap with Jordan. And he played too alone today, it can be seen that he is still very concerned about the remarks of the previous Warriors. He wants to prove that he is the No. 1 core of the Lakers. ”

The Warriors replaced all the main players in advance, and Azubuuk, Morrow, Dolby, Wright, and Randolph Jr. played on the court. "Zen Master" Jackson also replaced the main force, and today the Warriors bench was out of pressure and played very actively. Randolph Jr. had a height advantage over Powell and showed his excellent physical qualities, scoring twice. The Warriors continue to extend their advantage.

The final score was 118-90, and the Lakers lost by 28 points at home.

The results of the two games were like two extremes, which surprised people, and before the game was over, a large number of fans left the stadium.

Randolph's form has improved from the last game, with 15 points and 14 rebounds, and he has focused more on the defensive end. Margeti was outstanding, making 11-of-12 free throws and finishing with 23 points and five rebounds. Ellis had 18 points, Jackson 14 and Azubuke 10. Zhou Xuan had 12 points and 16 assists.

Lakers Bryant Bryant had 21 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, shooting only 6 of 27 and hitting 21 irons. Gasol made 12 of 17 shots and finished with 28 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks.

After a big victory, the Warriors were all three teams happy, and the atmosphere in the locker room was very relaxed. After Zhou Xuan was interviewed, he was still elated, and when he left the passage, he greeted acquaintances from time to time, and his joy was overflowing.

The old Nelson, who had never been smiling, walked in the aisle, smiling like a flower, and hugged some players passionately. This is not his usual solemn style, but such a big victory makes him really happy.

Back in the locker room, the players quickly took a shower and changed their clothes. Old Nelson waited in the locker room.

Zhou Xuan asked, "Coach, what are you talking about?" ”

Old Nelson whispered: "Talk about how you discussed with Ronnie before the game, I really convinced you, you can think of this kind of thing, and you really did it." I have to say, well done. ”

He went into the locker room to talk to Turyaf.

"Let's keep quiet, shall we?" Zhou Xuan also whispered.

"Of course, too many people know the inside story of Ronnie, it will seem that we are despicable, and we are not good for Ronnie's image, so keep a low profile. Don't explain to anyone else what is going on, the fewer people who know the Tao, the better. I talked to Ronnie about it. Nelson Sr. said.

Players often transfer, even if they don't say it now, and if they talk about it in the future, it will seem that the Warriors are not going to win. Bynum's foul is really vicious, so let people scold him as a thug.

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Kobe Bryant's data today is not as beautiful as Gasol, in this case, should we say something more?" ”

"Say what? Don't be photographed by reporters when you're laughing like this, you don't look like a good person. Old Nelson said hehehe.

"Coach, you smile like a villain."

"Hohohoho." The old and the young laughed. (Do you sing Huo Yuanjia?) ）

This laughter...... Turyaf got up goosebumps and quietly stood away, as if something bad would happen if he approached them. No wonder the old Nelson reuses Zhou Xuan, these two are a bit similar.
