Fisher dribbled the ball less than half the court, and Bryant reached for the ball again.

Lakers fans are also cheering, hoping that Kobe Bryant can return the favor with a goal.

Fisher would prefer that Bryant can run to find cover and find space through passing. But as soon as the ball reached Kobe's hand, it stopped. This time, facing Marion and Zhou Xuan's two-man package, he hit the iron with a high jumper.

Barkley said: "It seems that Kobe Bryant wants to shoot more than 30 times today, but his efficiency in playing alone like this is not high, Odom has pulled out the space just now, and even if he can't shoot directly to attract Turiaf to make up for the defense, Gasol in the low post will also get an empty position." ”

Smith shook his head: "If Kobe Bryant can keep cooperating and not play hard, I think the Lakers will be stronger." He shot too much in the last game. He played well before, why is he working alone now? ”

The two commentators didn't know what to say, and Zhou Xuan and Marion took turns chatting beside Kobe.

Marion provoked as soon as he was close. "Waste wood. Enter one! "I'll kill you!"

Zhou Xuan didn't say trash talk, but it made Kobe more disgusting. He was saying "24 to 18, 24 to 18......"

This is his and Kobe's score. Kobe Bryant is the scoring champion, Zhou Xuan is pass-oriented, and now he scores more than Kobe, how can Kobe stand it? Knowing that Zhou Xuan was deliberately provocative, he still had to continue shooting. If you vote, you may be able to get back your feel, but if you don't vote, you will lose face.

Kobe Bryant never cared what others said about him, and vindictiveness was a common thing. The most classic is that Kobe Bryant once made a stir in the second half in the seventh game of the playoffs with the Suns in 2006, and they were dragged into the seventh game with a 3-1 lead over the Suns, and were finally eliminated.

Some fans said that Kobe Bryant won the regular season MVP last season, and his mind has matured. That's impossible, even if he already has teammates to help him, there's no need to prove anything through one game, and he often does extreme things. Because that's who he is.

Kobe Bryant began to score points desperately, and Gasol on 9-of-13 shooting and Bynum on 6-of-8 shooting were left aside.

Kobe, who had all his attention on shooting, was really powerful, and suddenly broke out and hit two three-pointers in a row, and then got a three-point opportunity on Marion, leading the team to play a 10-2 attack wave and overtake the score in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the Lakers' defense also had big problems, and the old Nelson replaced Margetty and Marion, and replaced Ellis and Randolph. After returning from a timeout, he went back 13-0.

Bryant relied on his individual ability to play singles, reducing the number of blocks and air cuts, and Randolph's defensive weaknesses were not exploited too much.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant went off the court, and the Warriors also replaced Marion and Zhou Xuan. As a result, the Lakers once again launched an 11-2 attack wave to overtake the score 104-102. Nelson Sr. was forced to ask for a timeout.

During this time, the Lakers role players were all turned on, Odom and Fisher shot three-pointers, and Ariza broke through and played a 2+1.

Barkley said: "There are two people in the Warriors who can't get off the court, one is Zhou Xuan, and the other is Marion. As soon as Zhou Xuan is concerned, the Warriors' offense will become a little chaotic, and Ellis, Watson, and Duby will not be able to organize the offense well. Margeti played the No. 4 position, and the defensive defense breakthrough was not as good as Marion's. Margeti was stronger, but he wasn't fast enough. Odom also played well at the top of the arc. ”

"I think the old Nelson will be replaced by Zhou Xuan after the timeout," Smith said. Before Kobe Bryant returns, the Warriors have to try to find a way to pull away from the score, and once Kobe Bryant finds his touch at the last moment, they are likely to lose, and in our impression, Kobe Bryant is easy to score consecutive points at critical moments. ”

After the timeout, Zhou Xuan, Marion, Jackson, Azubuuk, and Randolph came on the court.

Margeti and Ellis were on the bench. These two had just been on the scene together and had a terrible fight. The two of them are the most prone to conflicts, and together they both feel that they should attack with the ball.

Just now Margeti didn't receive the ball on a run, Ellis chose to hit a strong shot and missed, and when he returned to the defense, Margeti yelled at Ellis to "pass", and Ellis ignored him. Old Nelson is going to let them all calm down now.

The Lakers seem to have a good momentum in chasing points, but there is actually a hidden danger. That's Odom's foul count. Now that he has five fouls, Ellis is misplaced on the court and does not break through to make fouls, but instead makes a jumper attack, which is the main reason for Nelson Sr.'s dissatisfaction.

The only tactic that Nelson Sr. emphasized to the crowd was to "block the offense, no matter who is against Odom, try to make him foul and knock him down." ”

Zhou Xuan dribbled past half court and beckoned to Randolph to find cover, Randolph blocked Fisher, Zhou Xuan broke through to the right, Odom changed his defense, and his defense was better than Gasol's.

Come on, let me complete the task assigned by the coach, Zhou Xuan thought to himself, dribbling the ball to Odom, this style of play he doesn't usually use, he learned from studying the game video of the Kings Martin.

Odom immediately thought that Zhou Xuan wanted to make himself foul, but he couldn't retreat, as soon as he retreated, Zhou Xuan might change direction, and then he could go directly to the basket. So he chose to take a step forward, and was ready to use his body to fight against Zhou Xuan to interfere with the shot, this is the home court, and the referee generally won't blow him for a foul easily.

Odom is very experienced, Zhou Xuan half-turned around and when Odom came up, he suddenly became a ball-holding frame, took the ball and moved a step to the right, this step is impossible to withdraw from the vacancy, and Zhou Xuan's purpose is not to find a vacancy, but to hit the ball with Odom's left hand that he did not raise.

He didn't care about the distance or anything, he stopped and jumped up with the ball with both hands, and hit Odom's outstretched left arm with both hands, and made a shooting move, and the ball fell.

It looks like Odom reached out to knock his ball off, and of course he hit his hand, but in fact, Zhou Xuan estimated that he touched Odom's hand, which was an out-and-out foul. Odom didn't expect him to do that, and he couldn't dodge it.

The referee's whistle blew and Odom was sent off for six fouls. Odom looked a little innocent with his head in his hands, but the fight was undisputed.

Zhou Xuan went to the free throw line and hit both free throws. 104 to 104.

Barkley smiled: "This ball is played smartly, just looking for fouls, Odom, the Lakers are not playing well, and the situation is on the side of the Warriors." ”

Smith agreed. Things quickly turned out to be their predictions. The Lakers don't have Odom, and they can only replace Bynum on the inside. The "Little Shark" has poor anti-blocking and dismantling resistance, and is often invisible at critical moments.

The Warriors left Randolph alone under the basket to guard the perimeter. Bryant missed three consecutive shots, Zhou Xuan countered and sent two assists, Azubuike cut to the basket, and Marion hit a three-point shot. Randolph forced a foul and hit both free throws, and the Warriors took the opportunity to play a 9-0 shockwave to pull the score away again.

After that, the Warriors continued to guard the interior, compress the defense, and defend Kobe Bryant. Bryant took on the offense of the whole team on the perimeter and clung to the score. But he hit two consecutive low-post step-back jumpers in the last two minutes, and the Warriors fought back to seal the victory 121-113.

Bryant scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and the number of shots in this game hit a season-high high, shooting 15-of-36, hitting 21 irons, and 5 turnovers. Gasol contributed 25 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, Bynum had 15 points and 8 rebounds, and everyone else scored in single digits.

Zhou Xuan had 28 points, 4 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals, and the Warriors scored 6 double-doubles. Randolph had 17 points and 11 rebounds, Ellis 16, Margeti 14, Marion 13 and Morrow also scored 10.

After the game, Zhou Xuan became the focus again. His performance has continued to rise, and he has already won 20+10 data several times, and this time it was almost 30+10.

At the press conference, Zhou Xuan said: "The performance in the star game gave me confidence. Sean's arrival, Stephen's return adds to the depth of our squad, we put all our energy on the pitch and the way we played on the pitch tonight was exactly the right way to do it. Winning over the Lakers means a lot. We are confident that we will be able to achieve even better results in the playoffs. ”

Lakers head coach Phil? Jackson was unequivocally critical of his players' performance after the game. "It's about the focus of the game, and it's all about not being able to bring out the best in the team, which is limiting our interior players. Pau [Gasol] scored 18 points in the first half, but he didn't get many shots in the second half. For a game like this, a player like him is undoubtedly the best weapon on the field. ”

Judging from these words, the "Zen Master" is criticizing the other players of the Lakers for not passing the ball well to the Spaniards. Last season, the "Zen Master" complained many times that Kobe Bryant shot too much, and after returning from the star game, he took more than 30 shots in two consecutive games.

After the game, Kobe Bryant's shots once again became a hot topic among fans and experts, and the question of whether Kobe Bryant should shoot more or shoot less has been debated for many seasons. How many shots are reasonable for Kobe?

ESPN cited this season's stats: The Lakers have a 3-6 record when Bryant shoots more than 30 times, and a 22-5 record when Bryant shoots 20-29. When Bryant had fewer than 20 shots, the Lakers had a 20-0 record. Statistically, the fewer Kobe Bryant shots, the higher the Lakers' winning rate, and the hard facts seem irrefutable.

Since the beginning of this season, Kobe has deliberately reduced his shots, helped his teammates score more, and made fewer turnovers, but so far this season, Kobe has had to face a happy embarrassment, the fewer shots he takes, the greater the Lakers' winning rate.

From this data, it can be directly concluded that as long as basketball is shared more reasonably, the Lakers can achieve the best state, and there is no need for Kobe Bryant to carry all the pressure on his shoulders. Why not be able to win as a leader without having to carry too much pressure?

If Kobe Bryant doesn't make any adjustments, ESPN experts believe that the Lakers may miss out on the championship again and even fail to reach the Finals.
