"It can't be!" Popovich's eyes widened, looking at Kobe Bryant, who faced a double or even a three-person package in the fourth quarter, and still hit a very unreasonable shot one by one.

This doesn't follow basketball logic!

The iron-clad theorem that the more people defend, the lower the shooting percentage, seems to have lost its meaning in front of Kobe.

Although the so-called superstar is no matter how you target it, you can still cut 20+30+, but Kobe Bryant's 21 points in the third quarter and 39 points in the second half are a bit outrageous!

39 points at halftime! This is the highest score in a playoff half since the establishment of the American professional basketball team 50 years ago!

The previous record was held by Fliggy Barkley! Barkley scored 38 points in the first half of the Suns vs. Warriors in the playoffs on April 5, 1994!

Killed!

In Popovich's opinion, the Spurs have a big advantage, and they were killed by Kobe's giant star of one goal at a time!

Although Popovich is a rookie coach, he has also played professionally! This is simply outrageous, and there is such a way to win?

Just give you four top defensive players, and watch you pick up alone, can you pick out an average of 40+ per game like Chamberlain?

Duncan gave a rare look of gnashing of teeth!

Bryant met him, and a second before he completed the block, he threw the ball into the sky with a juggling move.

The basketball spun, dodged Duncan's big hand, and hit the board into the net!

"It's a pity, a little sooner you can guard against me." Bryant spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

The Admiral was sweating profusely, and he and O'Neal fought the whole game, allowing O'Neal to score only 18 points and 14 rebounds in this game. This result is definitely very good.

But he doesn't have much room left to support Duncan on the offensive and defensive ends.

Lost.

When Bryant hit this murderous throw, the admiral knew that everything was lost.

Even if the game perfectly executed coach Popovich's defense of O'Neal, the Lakers' shooters did not shoot away, and their own twin towers played a very big advantage in the restricted area.

Still lost.

...

"I'm convinced, Kobe Bryant is really good." O'Neill sat at the press conference, shaking his head and sighing, as if he was still reminiscing about the game he had just played.

San Antonio Spurs 87:99 Lakers.

The Lakers won, Kobe Bryant scored 21 points in the third quarter, 18 points in the fourth quarter, and 39 points in the second half alone.

39 points at halftime! Playoff Half Scoring Record!

Kobe Bryant has created a legend again!

O'Neill was convinced.

A good leader is not like Zhuge Liang who gets everything done and doesn't give others a chance to perform, so that your little brothers have nothing to do but water skiing.

The real leader is like Kobe, you just have to fight! If you can't beat me, I'll do it!

Kobe Bryant is like this now, and Lao Zhan in later generations is like this after he has evolved!

Leaders with such a mindset often wait until after the age of 30 to mature mentally in all aspects. I don't like to show, and I can only do it after I know how to stimulate the state of every player under him.

O'Neal was impressed by such a Kobe!

The Duncan + Robinson combination, which he couldn't beat with all his hard work, turned out to be Kobe Bryant and took over the game, and the two waves of offensive climaxes were taken away!

If it was before being cleaned up by the Spurs, O'Neal might have felt that it was nothing, and I could do it too.

But when O'Neal experienced this historic twin towers in the first half of this game, he deeply felt the greatness of Kobe.

Kobe Bryant's scoring explosion is simply terrifying!

Spurs aren't just sitting there and letting you chase points! Duncan scored 27 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals and 2 turnovers in this game. The Admirals had 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

Two people together to cut 40+20! The hit rate is incredibly high!

In a slow-paced match, a 40+20 slash from the twin towers is almost certain for victory!

Kobe Bryant shot 16-of-27 from the field and 8-of-13 from three-point range, scoring 47 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers!

39 points in the half of the playoffs!

O'Neill had never seen a performance like this!

Even if the Spurs' forward line is below the league's level, Kobe Bryant's ability to blast such a terrifying statistic also makes O'Neal in awe.

It's too strong!

Even O'Neal, the first center, felt that Kobe's performance in this game was savior-level. But if Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage is a little lower, or the number of shots is a little less, the outcome of this game is difficult to say.

For the first time, O'Neill felt like he could win a water ski! scored less than 20 points, shot less than 50%, and the team's shooter didn't shoot the result to win!

This was unimaginable in the past!

It's too hanging, O'Neal simply worships Kobe. He can imagine how the media will spray himself tomorrow if this game is pressed to death by Duncan and the generals!

The media doesn't care if the Spurs are one person or two people who have sealed themselves, they will only say that they are not worthy of the name as the first center! The first center should be an admiral!

Good thing there is Kobe! Kobe Bryant didn't just save the team! Saved myself too!

The position of the first center is saved!

...

Chicago, Bulls vs. Hawks.

Michael Jordan was 19-of-36 from the field, 6-of-8 from three-point range, and finished with 51 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 4 turnovers!

51 points!

Michael Jordan once again cut 50+ in the playoffs!

Hit 6 three-pointers!

This is the third consecutive game in the playoffs where Jordan has made at least three three-pointers!

The sword is not old!

Anyone who has watched this game will not think that this all-powerful basketball god is old!

He's at the top!

Although his athleticism has declined, his ball quotient, his skill has risen a notch again.

Three-point shooting upgrade, ball-holding ability upgrade version of Jordan!

Kobe Bryant, the Lakers, forced out the strongest Jordan!

Just after the game, Jordan did not go to the press conference, but turned on the TV.

At this time, it was the last quarter of the Lakers and the Spurs, and Kobe Bryant faced the Spurs' crazy strangulation, and still shot down one ball at a time!

"39 points at half..."

But even Jordan, who scored 51 points, couldn't help but be a little speechless.

He knows better than anyone that it's not difficult to score, and both he and Kobe have the ability to cut 50+ when they're in good shape.

Just like facing the Hawks, although Mutombo is a pillar on the inside, Jordan can also cut 50+.

In the face of the Spurs' level of outside defense, Kobe Bryant's 40+50+ hit did not surprise Jordan at all.

But 39 points at halftime is a bit scary. This is a very high demand for the player's scoring explosiveness!

Barkley was 11-of-11 from the field, and the inside attack was unguarded to win.

And 80% of Kobe's offense is based on jump shots!

Did you do it yourself?

Jordan asked himself... It seems to be a bit difficult.
