At the start of the fourth quarter, Bruce returned to the bench.

Phil Jackson was very cautious with Bruce's use, and he knew where Lee really had strengths and where his weaknesses were. He didn't intend to let Lee Jin play 15 minutes in any game.

In this regard, whether it is the coaching staff, management, shareholders, owners, and even fans, all support it.

The Lakers have been through so many stories that they have a lot of patience to wait for a flower to bloom.

In particular, they now have Kobe Bryant in the Chinese army, what are they afraid of?

The Black Mamba came on in the fourth quarter, and after a period of rest, he showed his superb waist on the first ball of the court.

He slammed into the paint zone and pulled a pull to the top for a nice layup under the combined attack of Marcus Cambe and None.

Bryant's ability to lower the waist is fantastic, and his movements are impeccable.

The only thing that can be nitpicked is that the movements are not too stretchy. His aerial movements never showed Michael Jordan's sense of stasis like a pause in time.

In the history of the NBA, it may be Michael Jordan who gives people that feeling that when he jumps into the air, you can clearly feel that time is slowing down.

It's something Bruce has always aspired to.

I don't know when I'll be able to have it.

……

After the Black Mamba scored, Carmelo Anthony was quick to launch a counter-attack, singled out Luke Wharton in the Horns.

Luke is a decent forward with a decent basketball IQ. However, his talent was not enough to sustain him in defending against Anthony's attack.

When Melon showed his rich aggression, Kobe Bryant didn't hide anything.

The two top scorers began to compete frantically for their scoring skills.

Whether it is the fans at the scene or the fans in front of the TV, they are pleasing to watch.

This back-and-forth answer-ball is heart-warming.

It's the best of times.

The NBA is divided, and no one wants to be at the top, and no one wants to take the 'hardest path'. The superstars on one side of the divide have their own things to defend, and they follow the old truth: whoever provokes me, I will fight back myself.

You score a jumper.

I'm going to have to turn my back back.

You get a layup, and I'm going to do a tumult in the box.

Even the pick-and-roll is rarely called.

Although this style of play is not efficient, it is not as neat as throwing three points.

However, the screams of the fans could not be hidden.

Li Zhen sat on the bench and watched the melons and black mambas you came and went, and his heart surged: When can I be like them to ignore defense?

But then, I thought... Even if I had their tenacious scoring ability one day, I probably wouldn't have engaged in such endless heads-up.

……

After the main theme of the game evolved into 'Black Mamba goes 60 points, Carmelo Anthony goes 50 points', the rhythm also began to sharpen, and the time passed quickly.

When the Black Mamba hit his 25th shot of the game (not including free throws), he finally scored more than 60 points.

He became the first star to break the 60-point mark this season.

However, the Lakers trailed by 5 points at this time.

There was 1 minute and 13 seconds left until the end of the race.

Carmelo Anthony scored only 49 points, but in the past two rounds, he helped J.R. Smith hit two consecutive three-pointers.

This pushed JR's score beyond 20 points.

He became the Nuggets' second-leading scorer. It has also become an important driving force for the game.

If the Nuggets hold on to the final victory, then JR's name will be written as well. Although he appeared twice in the duel with Bruce, he helped Cameron to win anyway, and Bruce just watched from the sidelines. He will be seen as the one who wins the 'big picture'.

Backbite!

However, at this time, George Karl actually asked for a timeout, and he decided to strengthen the defense and not let the Black Mamba take it like that.

Despite the team's five-point lead, he was still afraid of Kobe Bryant and thought that the defense should be strengthened. (Interestingly, Carl George's son is also named Kobe.) ）

This timeout gave Bruce Lee, who had been waiting for him to play, a chance.

In the end, Phil Jackson still didn't resist the insistent Li Zhen and Bryant's burning gaze.

From the middle of the fourth quarter, Li Zhen threw a hot look at Phil Jackson. He always wanted to come on the pitch to help the team, and when there were three minutes left, he even deliberately got up and walked back and forth.

With two minutes left, he couldn't wait to tell the Zen master, "I can't sit back and watch this game lose, it's about my reputation." ”

His determined gaze made Phil Jackson a little stunned. He clearly saw the shadow of Michael Jordan.

Then, he shook his head.

He wanted to be sober.

But Li Zhen thought it was a refusal, his expression became more anxious, and he even said to Jackson: "Sir, I have to play." I can't accept that. ”

Then, the Black Mamba hit a golden, mid-range jumper.

Then George Carr called a reassuring timeout.

Bryant returned to the bench and made the decision to let Lee Jin play.

Then, Phil Jackson pushed the boat down the river.

He made arrangements, Bruce Lee, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Eddie Griffin, and Kwame Brown.

In a sense, this is already the strongest roster for the Lakers.

The only thing that worries is Lee's defense, and if Andre Miller is forced to eat, the Lakers will be very uncomfortable.

So, when it's time to play.

Li Zhen suddenly said to the black mamba very seriously: "Let's do a substitution defense." I'm going to defend J.R. Smith, and you're defending Andre Miller. ”

Kobe Bryant was a little surprised, and now JR Smith is feeling hot, hitting 2 three-pointers in a row, and it is time to guard it tightly. You're going to change people?

Then, he made up for it himself: Sure enough, he is my favorite partner, tough enough! JR Smith provokes before the game, you have to guard against going back! I like it!

Bryant nodded in realization.

Although Li Zhen did not interpret the mood swings of the black mamba, the result he wanted had been achieved.

So, he took the initiative to walk towards J.R. Smith.

Compared to Andre Miller's back-to-back singles, JR Smith's 3-point can still interfere.

"I officially declare that you are finished."

J.R. Smith watched Lee Zhen come over, and his pride burned with two crucial three-pointers. "I'll shoot you right here!!"

He even learned Larry Bird's pretending to be forced, and he pointed to the top of the three-point arc and said to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen smiled slightly, and then said, "I guarantee that you don't have this ability." ”
