When Kobe Bryant was broken by Li Zhen, he let go of his obsession and no longer regarded scoring as the first major event in his life.

He evolved.

If the previous Kobe Bryant was in the stage of wooden swords, flying flowers and picking leaves could hurt people.

Then the current Kobe Bryant is a bit like a lonely man who wins without a sword and has a sword.

At the end of the peak of his career, he finally found the highest level that he had been striving for in his career under the stimulation of Li Zhen, and he finally had the mellow posture of Jordan's post-triple championship period.

从某种程度，或者说从某种特定时刻，他真正的进入到神之领域。

This caught Li Zhen by surprise.

At the same time, it also caught Lakers fans by surprise.

Kobe Bryant's performance was unprecedented, and his whole person was sublimated. In the past, he attacked with the ball, and you can clearly tell that his first choice is to attack.

But now...... He quickly passed an assist from the bottom line.

He has a kind of calmness in judging the situation.

Li Zhen sighed.

He suddenly felt sorry for Kobe Bryant, and he felt that Kobe had evolved too late. 如果他在25岁明白这一点，他的职业生涯会有机会冲击历史前五的位置。

Now, he's old.

Moreover, he has not been very deep in honing his passing skills over the years, nor has he focused on improving his game vision.

The most important thing is that he met Li Zhen, who has officially entered his prime. The two were still in the same city.

This is the misfortune of the Black Mamba!

It was also his luck that he was forced to be a better version of himself at the end of his career, and to meet an opponent who could dominate the league, how fortunate it was for a proud killer!

Li Zhen used all his energy, and he and Kobe Bryant had the strongest two-person duel ever.

When Bryant completed a beautiful assist, Lee Jin responded with a clean three-threat jumper.

Then, Kobe Bryant entered the penalty area, faked a fax to deceive Li Zhen into a foul, and made two free throws.

Then, Li Zhen quickly broke through Kobe's defense and went deep into the basket, passed to Griffin, and hit a jumper.

Neither side spared.

They showed the best matchup ever for the shooting guard position.

From the breakaway, to the triple threat, to the back, to the pass...... It is impossible to find a more skilled and refined player in the world's active players.

Michael Jordan watched and danced in front of the TV, and he felt extremely familiar with every move and style of the two, he couldn't help but stand up and simulate, and his sense of victory and defeat that had been precipitated for many years was strongly activated. Even wanting to exchange all his current wealth for the body of 20 years ago, he can't wait to join this confrontation.

This is the only time he has had such a strong urge in all these years of retirement.

At heart, Michael Jordan is a 100 percent contender.

He loves to conquer opponents, especially strong ones.

Since last summer, the league has gradually formed a pattern of fragmentation, with superteams abounding. Boston, Miami, Orlando, Chicago, New York in the east. Thunder, Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers in the West... The strength of these teams has increased dramatically...... It can be described as a big dispute.

As a GOAT in basketball history, he knows all too well that the league is more competitive today than it was in the '90s.

And once a certain strongman forms a rule in this era of strong people, even if it is only to establish a three-crown dynasty. are likely to threaten his GOAT status.

So, he wants to be twenty years younger, and he wants to continue to rule in this era.

Unfortunately, the flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young.

Watching Li Zhen and Kobe Bryant have the purest and most pinnacle showdown, he was extremely envious. However, just after a few imitations in the living room, I found that my old waist could not bear it, so I quickly lay back on the sofa.

The matchup, which represents the highest level of productivity ever seen by a shooting guard, was a delight for the crowd and was a treat on both ends of the floor.

Even the most die-hard Lakers fans have to admit that Li Zhen is already the first person in the league. Because he is not inferior to Kobe Bryant in scoring ability, he is even faintly suspected of pressing Kobe Bryant by virtue of his youth and strength.

And no matter how hardcore Clippers fans are, they have to be in awe of Kobe Bryant at this time. At the same time, they also had to take a deep breath in their hearts and sigh that if Kobe Bryant was a few years younger, Bruce might not necessarily win him.

"I feel like I'm going to play extra time tonight." Aubrey silently wiped his hands, still using Kobe's No. 24 jersey.

Lambert next to him nodded approvingly, and he complained at the same time: "Kobe Bryant has too few helpers around." ”

Forehead... It's the familiar 'boss did his best' style.

But this time, Aubrey did not refute.

Bryant did his best, and he did his best to pass the ball.

It's just that... I don't know if everyone doesn't like him passing the ball very much, or because the way he passes the ball doesn't quite match the receiving habits of his teammates, anyway, the Lakers didn't play as smoothly as they imagined tonight.

Similarly, the rookies of the Clippers also had a situation of not adapting to the soil after the second half. After all, this is a bunch of raw melon eggs, and the playoff experience is either none, or pitiful, or before... I have never been the main force.

Therefore, the two sides are on equal footing, and it is difficult to separate.

Fight to the last moments.

Let's go back to the part that the fans are thinking about. With 30 seconds left in the game and the two sides are tied, who will you give the basketball to?

Kobe, Bruce Lee.

These are always the two names at the top of the league's list.

The whole world knows that Kobe Bryant is a cold-blooded killer.

The whole world also knows that Li Zhen often goes berserk at critical moments.

So.

Reggie Miller spread his palms, and he asked Bill Wharton: "Now that the two sides are tied, 101:101, who do you think will have the last laugh?" ”

"My emotions tell me that Bruce Lee is younger, stronger, he has more firepower. However, my sanity reminded me that Bryant was more experienced and that he had the initiative. He's going to be the one who succeeds. ”

"The most important thing is that Bryant has evolved in this game. He deserves to take the victory. Bill Wharton expressed his point.

Bryant had a triple-double tonight, his nineteenth career triple-double and his only playoff triple-double.

He played a little more James tonight than James.

He proved one thing with his actions: the top scorer wants to get a triple-double, far more than... It's easier for a point guard to get a triple-double.

In the 1988-89 season, Jordan and Magic Johnson played point guard in 11 games, during which he averaged 33.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 10.8 assists, 2.5 steals and 10 triple-doubles.

Kobe Bryant played more freely tonight than Jordan back then, after all, the god of basketball was running for a triple-double at that time.

Reggie Miller disagrees with Bill Wharton's claims. "In my eyes, there is only one real killer in the league today. When it mattered, as long as Bruce had the ball, I thought he could hit it, and he had this kind of magic. ”

"With such a high level of play tonight, I think they're going to go to extra time. Then, the Clippers won a hard-fought victory with a more youthful and vigorous physique. ”

"It's going to be a tough series. Both sides are tough to chew on, and with Kobe Bryant's prime going to continue to stretch and Bruce growing rapidly, I think it's going to be hard to tell for years to come. ”

Reggie Miller emphasized.

There is no doubt that Los Angeles has become the league's biggest competitive area.

甚至很有可能演变出一种结果：得洛杉矶者得天下。

In fact, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Reggie Miller was already there: I think it's a bit like the finals are playing out early. At least the Western Conference Finals are playing out in advance.

Backbite!

McBrown's last timeout ends.

The Lakers are back on the court.

McBrown had a very strange feeling in his eyes at this time, as if he saw the shadow of LeBron James from Kobe.

It's a strange delusion.

Because the whole world knows that Kobe Bryant's personality is very different from James.

But why did Kobe Bryant make such a decision?

Usually, only LeBron James among superstars will shake the pot at a critical moment.

Andrew Bynum was also surprised, he didn't expect Kobe Bryant to give him the chance to kill him thirty seconds ago.

Tonight's game made him realize that Kobe Bryant is not old, Kobe's tank is full of gas, and he is far from being able to replace him.

But why did he pass the ball to me?

The little shark couldn't figure it out.

他走到场外，将篮球发给科比。

The Clippers' defense is very tight, and Li Zhen is still close in front of Kobe.

他的直觉告诉他，科比今晚会做出不同寻常的打法。

However, Kobe Bryant is notorious after all, and no one dares to take risks.

So, the defensive focus is still on the Black Mamba.

The coaching team has always believed that it is necessary to pinch at the last moment, and Li Zhen agreed.

Time ticks and ticks.

When there were 8 seconds left on the offensive time, Kobe Bryant suddenly started.

And at the moment he started, Li Zhen quickly pressed, and Li Zhen's defense was blameless.

However, after all, his opponent was Kobe, who had reached the realm of scoring points, and he paused slightly, and gently wiped the defense sideways, and shook a thousand pounds in fours and twos.

At this time, Paul George quickly stepped up, and he had already formed a flank with Li Zhen.

But Kobe Bryant jumped up suddenly in the crack, and Li Zhen and George blocked it at the same time.

But it still didn't stop Kobe's shot.

When Kobe Bryant hurriedly threw the basketball out.

Li Zhen shouted: Under the basket!!

He's all too familiar with Kobe Bryant, it's definitely not shooting, it's definitely passing.

However, it was still a beat slower.

Lee's reminder reached Jordan Jr.'s ears under the basket, and Bynum also received the basketball.

The little shark received the basketball and did not force it in, but lightly hooked it.

Gently send the basketball out with the Sky Hook that Abdul-Jabbar has been teaching him since '05...... This ball carries the hopes of all Lakers fans of Stamps as much as they hope for Bynum.

Everyone's heart hangs in their throats.

A few tenths of a second later.

There was an uproar at Staples Arena, and the basketball got into the hoop, but it spun and bounced.

Jordan Jr. quickly picked up the rebound under the basket.

And shout before the opponent comes to foul: timeout!!

There are 6 seconds left in the clock.

The Clippers also have a chance to make a final hit.

Even if you don't hit, you can go to overtime.

Bynum messed everything up.

He turned an advantageous situation into a disadvantage.

The Lakers fans at the scene were extremely disappointed.

Why does this damn ball spin out? Why not go straight to the Nets.

Obviously the opportunity has appeared.

Bynum can shoot with a board, such an empty spot misses...... It's too uncompromising.

Kobe Bryant has already done that.

Alas!

Lakers fans are full of distress for the Black Mamba and disappointment for Bynum...... It's like Bynum's growth rate. You must know that for Bynum, the Lakers can be said to have given up on Jason Kidd, Bruce Lee, and Chris Paul...... Outcome.

There is no veteran Lakers fan who doesn't scold his mother.

"It was an absolute mistake for us to go out of our way to develop Bynum, he never had the potential to be a super center, and we wishfully thought that he could replace Shaq O'Neal, who was an All-Star stroke at best." Lambert said to Aubrey next to him in disappointment.

Aubrey had a look on his face that I had already seen through.

But at this time, an unexpected scene happened.

Bryant on the court didn't even scold Bynum, although Bynum was already cowering and his eyes kept dodging. But after Kobe Bryant walked over, he actually reached out and patted his head: You have completed the lore. It's just that the luck wasn't so good, and it just popped up again.

"It's been a wonderful fit. Come on! ”

Kobe Bryant encouraged the rookie from the bottom of his heart.

Since being broken by Li Zhen, the black mamba has become lenient. Because he found that there are many ways to solve the problem.

"We can defend this offense."

He stressed on the bench.

He believed that Li Zhen would definitely solve the attack with his own hands.

He couldn't fake someone else.

"I've been through his phase, and he's at the moment when he's swept the world without a blade. 他绝不可能将篮球传给任何人，在关键时刻。 ”

Bryant was very arbitrary.

Therefore, he asked the team to equip him with helpers to flank Li Zhen, as long as he restrained his first wave, the Clippers would be out of play.

Kobe Bryant was right.

Li Zhen really didn't plan to fake others, although he arranged for two Griffin, George, and Hayward to play with him.

But he just wanted to kill the Lakers with his own hands.

It's not that it's sweeping the world.

The main thing is to kill the Lakers with his own hands.

It's just that little George is a little puzzling.

He was a little confused by the boss's linear thinking.

Maybe it's because my IQ is too low.

When Paul George has a problem that he can't understand, he blames himself. He's a man who gets tangled up and gets around, and that's how Griffin taught him.

Soon.

Backbite!

The final six seconds of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs began.

[Next shift, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.] Ask for a monthly pass, and there is also a ball tip. 】
