"Boy, do you see how I insult your teammates? I can't help it, I'm finally on the field. As soon as he arrived on the court, Payton's trash talk followed Kobe Bryant.

"I see you've been taken by Ben."

"That's a tactical move, and your life experience doesn't understand my tactics."

"You've been by Ben."

"Why are you so axial, as an American professional basketball player, is it a shame to be offended?"

"Hehe, you've been taken off by Ben."

There was no longer any talk for the day, so Peyton kept his mouth shut, waiting for the next chance to squirt.

It's a pity he couldn't find this opportunity.

33:35 Lakers lead by 2 points.

Under the competition between the Lakers bench and the opponent's starters, they inevitably fell into the disadvantage and were chased by the supersonic starters again and again.

But this is a grind for the bench players, the Lakers want to be aiming for a championship, and the bench is a bunch of rookie eggs. They have to go through these high-intensity confrontations in order to thrive.

Kobe Bryant and Harris both know this, which is why Harris is trying to keep the playing time of the OK combination as short as possible while ensuring the results.

Kobe Bryant is averaging 31.8 minutes per game this season, to O'Neal's 34.5. Both of these times are far lower than the playing time of the league's stars right now.

Under this kind of training, Big Ben has grown into an excellent defender, with outstanding individual defense and defense, and the only drawback is the ability to finish under the basket.

Fisher is now relatively consistent in three-point shooting, and Bryant feels that he needs to continue to improve his defense.

Back on the court, the Lakers possessed the ball.

Bryant held the ball, turned half-back, leaned on Payton, and let Payton's teeth and claws have no effect at all.

Look up at the players on the pitch and pass the ball to Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones then passes to O'Neal in the low post.

O'Neal pretended to hit the back, and a behind-the-back pass that didn't look at people went straight to Kobe Bryant, who was inserted in the middle, and Kobe Bryant received the ball and scored a layup.

Effortless.

Benefiting from Kobe's familiarity with O'Neal, O'Neal's tacit understanding with Kobe is gradually improving.

The Lakers' main tactics have also become more abundant, no longer Kobe's one-sided tandem, and he has also begun to benefit from O'Neal's offensive involvement.

It was a beautiful high-low and air-cut tactic, using O'Neal's offensive containment and Bryant's off-ball ability, and Harris clapped from the sidelines, which is what he wants to see the team attack.

Peyton was annoyed, this kid was as slippery as a loach, and he couldn't stop him at all.

Kobe Bryant's scoring methods are too many and too mixed, blocking and dismantling with the ball, three points without the ball, and changing the way to cut the basket in the air, so that Payton doesn't know what to do.

Turning his head, Payton and the pass Detreve Schramf, the tall pitcher hit another jumper against the defender.

Detreve-Schramf went crazy today, and neither Eddie Jones nor Bowen could stop him.

But how long does his feel last? Very few players can hold the game for the entire game, and there will be a lot of ups and downs in the first and second halves.

At the end of the second quarter, the SuperSonics held on to the score thanks to Detreve-Schramf's good touch.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant began to string up the team, no longer a double turn of Kobe and O'Neal, Eddie Jones and Campbell stepped up and scored one after another.

At halftime, the Lakers led by three points at 58:61, and the two teams played a very high score. Few teams can match the SuperSonics offense, and the Lakers did.

Kobe Bryant, as an arrow on the offensive end, tore apart Payton's defense, and then strung the team together as a whole, playing a very high offensive efficiency.

With 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the half, his performance can be said to blow up Payton, who shot 1 of 5 in front of Kobe Bryant and had no power to fight back.

O'Neal still scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists under the defensive strategy of Jim McIlvain, a big tall top defense and Kemp waiting for opportunities to help defend, and when Kobe Bryant took more responsibility for finishing, he shared some of the team's organizational responsibilities.

Jim McIlvain, on the other hand, had 17 points and 4 rebounds in the half, arguably the biggest contributor to the SuperSonics' offensive end.

Sean Kemp had 11 points and seven rebounds, Jose Hawkins had eight points and two assists, and Gary Payton had six points and five assists.

The SuperSonics' offense was terrifying, and it was the first game this season that a team could face the Lakers' defense and blast 58 points in the second half.

"The Lakers' offense is playing very well, but they need more points to curb the supersonics." Goodrich was analysing in midfield.

"The supersonic offense is getting more and more intense, and the third quarter is the key, and the Lakers must withstand this wave of supersonic offense."

The plot of the second half was as Goodrich expected, and as soon as it opened, Supersonic quickly launched a counterattack.

First, Camp hit Campbell under the basket and scored a dunk, and then Jose Hawkins hit a three-point shot to instantly overtake the score.

"Focus, focus!" Harris jumped to his feet on the sidelines.

Kobe frowned, and his teammates were a little confused.

Then wake them up in your own way!

Brilliant goals, difficult goals are the most morale-boosting for the team.

Bryant walked up to Payton with the ball.

This ball!

Kobe Bryant intends to hit head-on!

Payton stuck to Kobe Bryant in small steps, not daring to put Kobe too far, Kobe Bryant's three plus one at the end of the first quarter is still vivid, he didn't dare to take the risk of letting Kobe Bryant shoot three points.

Bryant didn't use the rhythm to adjust the dribble, and this offensive style was not pleasing to the experienced Payton.

The center of gravity is lowered, the left foot is forced, and the body breaks through to the right.

Payton didn't panic and strode to block Kobe.

Kobe Bryant disguised himself in front of his body, swapping ball holders and going to the left side!

Peyton takes a step back to the right and seals again!

Waiting for you to step back, Kobe Bryant pulled the ball back and quickly stepped back.

If it's a normal defensive player, this move can create a very large offensive space.

But Payton seemed to defy inertia, twisted his body, and once again made up for Kobe Bryant.

It's sealed! Kobe's three changes of direction were blocked!

That's what the best defenders can do with the ball!

There's no room left! Everyone thought Kobe Bryant would stop the ball!

But Kobe Bryant didn't, and changed direction again!

The left-hander ball crotched down to the right hand, dodging Payton's steal and passing past Payton's side.

Peyton tried to retreat, but he didn't listen to his steps, leaned back, stumbled and fell to the ground.

No way! There's no way he's going to break through me!

Bryant hit a solid shot from the free-throw line.

It's dangling!

KOBE BRYANT'S CROSSOVER SHOOK PEYTON.

The audience didn't know what was going on, and it was the slow motion on the big screen that showed Bryant's move.

4 changes of direction in 5 seconds!

All the moves were done in one go, and Payton danced back and forth with Kobe Bryant's footsteps as if he had rehearsed them, and finally fell to the ground.

It was so miserable that the supersonic player stepped forward to pick up Payton.

"This one counts as 10 points!" Goodrich got up from his stool in the studio, ripped off his tie, and was ready to rush onto the court.

"This ball control performance, 10 points is no problem!" James Worthy hurriedly grabbed his friend.

Shame! Peyton's face darkened two degrees, and this ball would have etched him on the Pillar of Shame.

"Gary, you look hilarious." O'Neal was amused, imitating Peyton's falling to the ground and rolling back and forth on the floor.

"Don't be ashamed!" Bryant and Campbell worked together to stop O'Neal's trickery and drag him off the ground.

George Karl saw that the players on the field were not in the right mood and hurriedly called a timeout.
