"Isn't there a way to restrain him a little?" Popovich's eyes are red, he is currently 48 years old and in the prime of life, and he is still a rookie coach, far from the scheming Zhuge Vic of later generations.

Although he is a rookie coach, it is a great achievement for Popovich to lead the team to the second round, but Popovich is still trying to win against the Lakers! Win this series!

Popovich studied under Larry Brown and Don Nelson! It can be said that it is a top coach who integrates offense and defense. After so many years in professional basketball, Popovich has also seen countless superstars.

No one has been able to give Popovich such a headache as Kobe!

Stay up late! Overnight! Popovich frantically watched every game Bryant scored less than 30 points this season.

As long as you can limit Kobe Bryant to less than 30 points! Spurs have a chance of winning!

What made Popovich a little desperate was that Kobe Bryant couldn't score 30 points, and most of the games were played early! Or the feel is so bad that you can't hit no matter how you shoot.

Kobe Bryant felt normal, was suppressed by the defense, and the number of games that couldn't score 30 points was - zero!

This result made Popovich desperate!

Whether it is the Bulls using Jordan Pippen to block together, or the single defense of the former best outside defender Glove Payton, or some teams using 2 or 3 people to take turns to mark Kobe, the final result is that Kobe Bryant uses various offensive methods to complete the score!

It's so comprehensive! Kobe's offensive means are so comprehensive that Popovich can't trust a player under the age of 20 who can master all the scoring methods! Singles, pick-and-roll, no ball, breakouts, layups, mid-range shots, three-pointers, back-to-back play! All of these offensive skills, Kobe Bryant seems to have honed countless times under high-intensity confrontations!

Kobe Bryant can always find a way to get rid of the defense!

The only one who can guard against Kobe is Kobe himself.

Popovich recognized this fact, and Kobe Bryant, who has a feel, is incomprehensible.

Popovich turned off the video, his bloodshot eyes slowly closed.

This year's Spurs, there is no way to solve Kobe.

...

"It's over. Tim, it's over. David Robinson's words were full of reluctance.

This is the G5 between the Lakers and the Spurs, with 5 minutes left in the game, the Spurs are already trailing by 21 points, and Duncan is still frantically pounding the basket, as if trying to recover the score.

The admiral smiled bitterly, and seeing Big Brother smile like this, Duncan gritted his teeth unwillingly and put down the basketball in his hand.

Lost.

Not only this game, but also this round of the Spurs series, and this year's season for Spurs will end here.

Duncan put a towel over his head.

This moment of shame, he will remember.

San Antonio Spurs 1:4 Los Angeles Lakers, this is the final big score of this round of the series.

G1 Kobe Bryant scored 39 points in the half, and 47 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers led the team to victory.

G2 Popovich used two people to ignore it, staring at Kobe Bryant all over the court and preventing Kobe from receiving the ball!

However, Kobe Bryant still used a more skilled off-ball running position than Reggie Miller, and scored 37 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover. And Bowen, who was completely empty, made 5 of 9 three-pointers in this game, hitting a playoff career high of 21 points and 7 rebounds.

G3 returned to San Antonio, and the Spurs finally pulled back a game! Duncan, who was cornered, went crazy and cut a GOAT performance of 41 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 7 turnovers on the Lakers' head! Bryant didn't have a good hand, scoring just 21 points on 8-of-23 shooting, and ultimately lost the game.

Everyone thought that G3 would be the dividing point between the Spurs and the Lakers! The Spurs, who defend their home court and bring the big score back to 1:2, will next keep the next home court and pull the score back to a 2:2 draw, so this series is not easy to say.

After all, Duncan and Robinson's advantage over O'Neal is very obvious, plus Kobe Bryant's poor hand, no one can say what will happen next!

No one thought that Kobe Bryant would be able to regain his feel so quickly!

G4！ When everyone was not optimistic, Kobe Bryant made a crazy shot 41 times!

41 shots! Score 23 goals! 7-of-15 from three-point range! Scored 58 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers!

This is the second player in this season's playoffs to score 50+! After Jordan scored 51 points, Kobe Bryant scored 58 points!

It's crazy! This was hailed by commentator Ma Fu as the craziest off-ball projection performance in American professional basketball.

The Spurs' Oliott and the little general ran with Kobe Bryant all over the court!

There is still no way to limit Kobe, Kobe Bryant relied on running without the ball, catching and shooting the ball in the middle distance, and three offensive methods of three points back, and scored 58 points!

"The best off-ball scorer in NBA history!" The magician has a big stroke of the pen! Directly King Kobe!

Before Kobe Bryant's appearance, Reggie Miller was the strongest template for scorers off the ball, but his peak was a 20+ player! It's hard to even score 30 points.

Kobe Bryant directly pushed the off-ball scoring to another level, and people found that the original off-ball shooting can also score so many points!

"Bryant has once again created a new school of offense." Larry Bird is also a projection style of play that combines ball-holding and off-ball play, and he thinks he can't score so many points purely with off-ball projection, but Kobe Bryant did! Still in the playoffs, the Spurs got the ground under the desperate defense.

Kobe Bryant hits every shot! The bloodshot in Popovich's eyes was as if there was one more!

Blood pressure is full!

Unstoppable!

It's like what Popovich got after analyzing it all night in the video studio! The only one who can defend Kobe Bryant is himself!

G4 ended, and the playoffs between the Lakers and Spurs became 1:3.

The die is cast.

Except for Duncan and the Admiral who are still insisting, the other players have been beaten by Kobe Bryant to the point of losing energy.

G5, Popovich didn't dare to let Kobe continue to play without the ball! Change the defensive strategy, defend Kobe Bryant alone, and block the other players of the Lakers.

Such a defense allows Kobe Bryant to play more freely!

Playing without the ball, Kobe Bryant can ensure that he hits about 5 percent, no matter how high it is, it is unrealistic.

But attack with the ball! That's different!

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers' lead reached as many as 20 points.

Kobe Bryant, who attacks with the ball, has fewer shots! But more efficient!

He finished with 47 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers on 19-of-27 shooting.

Win!

Lakers 5 games! At the Great Western Forum Arena! Victory over the Spurs!

Kobe averaged 42 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.4 turnovers per game in the series!

Phenomenal level performance!

Average 42 points per game in 5 games!

In the case of O'Neal's series averaging less than 50% shooting per game and only 18.2 points and 11.4 rebounds, he brutally bombarded the Spurs Twin Towers!
