After all, there is still a gap between the second formation and the opponent's main force in terms of combat power.

But to the discomfort of some Hornets fans, Russell's ability as a player is indeed different from before.

And the players on Charlotte's side are close to madness at this time! They feel how humiliated they are by the Lakers!

Aggressive offense! Walker, on the other hand, doesn't play much and lets his teammates attack more.

Because he can't keep up with the current Lakers team in terms of speed, Russell's individual breakthrough ability didn't expect to be so good now.

In this quarter of the game, Russell obviously had a hard time, he began to think about the team, but his own offensive efficiency could not keep up, and there was a significant gap between the current Lakers lineup and the opponent.

Later in the first quarter, the Lakers basically watched their opponents attack.

30:21！ Russell looked at the 9-point deficit on the spot and walked back with his head shrugged.

Wharton: "When Kobe Bryant was younger, he missed a lot of shots. Some are even more critical.

It's not a big deal, you're playing well, and you're usually going to see if you can make a difference in the team. Let's go down and rest first. ”

With that, Wharton put his hands on Russell's shoulders and patted him on the back.

Young Russell felt that Coach Wharton at this time was like his own brother. After the game, he comforted him in time.

It kept him from feeling too depressed.

A warm current rose in my heart. Without looking back at Wharton, Russell just nodded quietly and sat back on the bench.

Clifford watched the scene all the time, and the players on the Hornets' side relaxed a bit.

Such a score is still worthy of the strength of their main lineup.

But seeing Wharton's reaction on the Lakers' bench, Clifford always felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

It's like playing Go, and Wharton probably knew this was going to be the case by this time, and he probably had already figured out how the rest of the game would play.

And the Lakers, who have a good lineup of teammates, don't have many options on the Charlotte Hornets side.

The way they play now is to try to stay ahead in the first half.

With their team, there are characters like Li Feng and Kobe. At least the score difference should be about 15 points.

The players, who had been more relaxed just now, were not happy to hear Clifford say this.

A 10-point difference they can fight for. The lead margin of about 15 points is ...... It's a bit out of the box for their abilities.

After all, there is a reason why teams are hovering around 9-12 places in the current seasons.

Where is it so easy to play with such a team to the heights that Clifford demands?

Randle thought he would be able to play this quarter, but Wharton still didn't let him go.

The Hornets returned to the second quarter with Hawes, Marvin, Batum, Lamb and Belinelli.

The Lakers' lineup is Lore Deng, Ingram, Kobe, Calderon, Ennis!

Bryant: "......"

He doesn't understand Wharton anymore, what does that mean now?

Want to exhaust him?

Is the combination of Lore Deng and Ingram serious? And Calderón...... He had a good back injury and tonight was his first game.

There is also a three-team back Ennis......

Naturally, Li Feng chatted with his former teammate Ennis just now.

The opponent doesn't know whether to be happy or angry when he sees a lineup like this from the Lakers!

But in the end, most of the players chose to be happy. Because as long as you restrain Kobe, it's over. Although the difficulty is a bit bigger.

At the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant came to the front court with the ball and hit a three-point shot against Batum and Marvin!

Hoyss immediately passes the ball out! Lamb received his pass and saw Bryant pass decisively near him to Belinelli, who got up and easily returned a three-pointer!

Then Calderon held the ball across the half court, passed Lamb and Batum and went straight to the basket and was slapped by Marvin's blood cap!

Batum suddenly ran like crazy! As he expected, Hoyce got the rebound and passed the ball to Lamb, who turned the ball in his direction!

This transition between offense and defense played very well! Batum rushed over and dunked directly to score points!

Bryant took the initiative to ask for the ball, but saw that Ingram had been staring at him, and he threw the ball over after halftime.

The latter jumped basketball directly and did not stick out of bounds......

Ingram: "Boss, listen to me......"

Kobe: "Ruthless, you." ”

At this time, Belinelli and Lamb ran together! Belinelli's jumper is covered by Kobe!

Not far from him, Lamb got the basketball and used Belinelli's body to get up and shoot a three-point shot!

Clifford: "Excellent! Just hit it like that! Just guard against Kobe! He's not so accurate in every game! ”

The difference suddenly widened to 14 points! Wharton let Bryant pass the ball on the sidelines, but Bryant didn't want to.

After getting the ball, he went to the front court, and all four players of the Hornets rushed over!

But Kobe Bryant didn't pass the ball, facing Marvin in it, Batum and Belinelli got up and shot a three-point jumper!

Marvin got the rebound and threw the ball hard! On the other side, Lamb took the basketball and hit a long-range three-point shot!

41:24！ If the rest of the players on the court can't score, and Kobe Bryant can't score, the game will go to garbage time!

Wharton was a little uneasy on the sidelines at this time, and he even wavered a little.

I don't know if my decision will make the Lakers lose this game quickly.

Kobe: "Give me a lift!" ”

Looking up at Wharton, Kobe Bryant felt that he was out of breath! Even if you have three three-player players coming up.

As long as there is Li Feng and he fights in the arena, there will be a fight. At this time, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness with four bronzes.

The key is that the other party has several diamonds.

There was no way, Kobe Bryant could only fight with the opposite side.

There was really no chance of attacking this time. Ingram got a pass from Bryant right away, but immediately hit a 2-pointer.

The basketball also bounced into the hands of the opposing center.

Hawes's pass was finally cut off directly by Kobe!

The latter then turned around and scored a jumper from Marvin!

Then Kobe Bryant can't go to the other Hornets players to make up for it.

This time, Batum's long-distance 2-point popped out of the frame, Kobe Bryant grabbed the rebound one step ahead of Lore Deng, bypassed Belinelli's defense, and ran to the front court after passing Batum!

After glancing at the time, Kobe Bryant got up directly and hit a long-distance three-point shot!

Kobe Bryant also felt that there was nothing he could do, and the game suddenly became his own.

How to fight a king with four bronze?

The five-person team game suddenly became a dozen nines.

Kobe, who was very tough on defense just now, suddenly stepped back to watch their Hornets attack, which made people feel quite unaccustomed for a while.

Finally Lamb scored on a close-range jumper!

According to Clifford's request, almost all the Hornets players present now are staring at Kobe Bryant!

The latter will not pass the ball even with the ball!

In less than 5 seconds of entanglement with Lamb and Belinelli, two players were thrown away by Kobe!

The away fans cheered for Kobe Bryant at this time!

The shouts of "MVP" rang out at the scene.

And the rest of the Lakers players all stood on the sidelines at this time, where they watched Kobe Bryant single-handedly take on the five.

Lakers players on one side of the court, and Hornets bench players on the other side of the sideline......

The confrontation between Batum and Kobe Bryant lasted for 6 seconds and was directly passed by the black mamba!

At Marvin's, Kobe Bryant got up and shot backwards after a turn!

With a standard shot, a long-range 2 points went into the net!

43:31！ Clifford shook his head from the sidelines.

Looking at Kobe Bryant, who is not young, is fighting so the field. The combat power is so high again. He wants to cheer for the Black Mamba!

Although it was at the home of the Charlotte Hornets, there was a certain amount of confusion after the fans at the scene saw that Bryant began to erupt.

On one side, the fans were cheering for Kobe, and on the other side, they were cheering for the Hornets.

The rest of the Lakers players were also embarrassed at this point, as they felt completely redundant on the court at this point.

Kobe Bryant wants the ball, can you not give him the ball?

After giving him the ball, the Black Mamba ignored them.

Batum and Lamb are constantly cooperating!

In the end, Lamb suddenly rushed to the basket and was directly slapped by Kobe Bryant and fanned the basketball away!

But neither side spoke, and in order to win the Lakers, the players on the Hornets' side also fought!

At this time, five to one, it is definitely going to come out with results!

Hoyce served to Lamb, who hit the ground and passed to Belinelli, and Batum hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball on the other side!

46：31！ The Hornets, for their part, have been able to keep the margin above 10 points.

When the five of them combined to score three points again, there was a sudden burst of boos at the scene!!

Playing against the Lakers at this time, the Hornets did have some wins on their side. But they can't help it.

It's not that they let the Lakers players on the scene not play.

Then Kobe Bryant went to the front court and directly broke through to the layup, causing Hawes to foul and play 2+1!

The fans at the scene immediately cheered for Kobe!

At this time, many fans began to feel sorry for Kobe.

But there wasn't much expression on the black mamba's face.

His thoughts are still the same as they were before the game. The Hornets must win tonight!

......

In the end, the game ended at 61:50!

The two teams seem to have reversed in terms of scoring. Hornets players are confident!

Even if they welcome the main players of the Lakers in the second half, as long as the team pays more attention, it is not impossible for the team to narrowly beat the Los Angeles Lakers.

This quarter of the game allowed the fans at the home of the Hornets to see Kobe's strength at this time again!

Just like Wade and James, as they get older, their combat power doesn't seem to be affected too much.

......

At halftime, Bryant didn't pay attention to anyone, and quickly returned to the locker room and contacted the team doctor.

Bryant then walked out of the locker room with a staff member who was going to apply ice and muscle stretches for a short period of time.

Now in the early stage of the game, Kobe Bryant has to come to the team early to stretch his muscles.

Obviously he had a lot of exercise tonight. You need to pay attention to your body to avoid injury.

The rest of the players in the dressing room were silent.

In the past, Nick Young could joke in the locker room, but today he didn't come.

Calderon was embarrassed, he and Ingram played the full 12 minutes of the second quarter today, but didn't score a single point......

Lore Deng and Ennis scored some points in the latter stages.

There was an awkward silence, the break was over, and the players didn't see Coach Wharton come in and talk to them.

When they returned to the scene, the players didn't see Kobe Bryant, and the fans in the audience also left a little.

Then Wharton and Bryant appeared down the hallway together.

Wharton turned back again and asked Kobe Bryant something. The latter shook his head, indicating that Wharton did not have to worry about his appearance.

Randle: "Oh my God, can I play tonight?" I feel like I'm going to get cobwebs. ”

Wharton: "Li Feng and Kobe Bryant play two positions: playmaking and scoring guard. Nance II small forward, Randle and Lore Deng are in position.

I thought the Hornets could stretch the margin to 20 points. And they are nothing more than that. Li Feng"

Li Feng: "Hmm. How is it arranged? ”

Wharton: "The opponent's interior players are not strong. So we can get into the driver's seat right away!

Score on Kobe Bryant's early words to give him a break. ”

Bryant: "No. ”

Wharton: "...... It's good, too. That, Li Feng, are you looking at it? ”

Looking at the head coach squeezing his eyebrows with himself, Li Feng understood in seconds. Directly gestured to him with an "ok".

......

In the first half of the game, the Hornets fought hard! Several players have lost their fitness so much!

So Clifford swapped for Batum and Marvin, both of them.

In the third quarter, the lineup on the Hornets' side was Hawes, Zeller, Lamb, Walker and Belinelli!

Because Batum is out of the game, the team's pace of play will slow down accordingly.

Seeing Kobe Bryant's face on the Lakers' side, the players here inexplicably felt a kind of fear crawling up with their backs......

Basically, as Clifford expected, the Lakers held back two full quarters of the game in order to wait for the next game to give their team a heavy blow!

This season, the Lakers' Nance Jr. and Li Feng both have good scoring ability, and Kobe Bryant needless to say that fans know it.

And Randle and Lore Deng also have a certain strength to defend!

Walker: "Let's just do our best. Don't overthink it.

It's like what the head coach in the dressing room said. Remember in this section, Kobe Bryant don't go to the bag! I'll just guard against him! ”

As Clifford thought, after the Lakers changed a number of key players in the third quarter, it was unrealistic to defend Kobe Bryant like they did in the second quarter.

Kobe Bryant has changed a lot this season. He made more passes.

But this is selective, such as playing at the same time as Li Feng, Kobe's passes began to be frequent.

And when he played with those teammates in the second quarter today, Kobe Bryant chose to play by himself......

Generally, some tactics are targeted to deal with the opposing team.

For example, the "shark slashing tactic" was developed because O'Neal's free throws were inaccurate.

But when a team has good players in all positions, a lot of tactics don't work that much.

Seeing the Lakers' players on the scene at this time, fans began to cheer for their team~

Kobe Bryant didn't fight alone, he was with the team, so the team that "needed care" at this time became the Charlotte Hornets.

Walker came to the front court quietly, and faced the volute not far away, and the two were directly entangled!

Almost 24 seconds, Walker passed Kobe, and his shot was directly interfered with by Lore Deng next to him!

In the second quarter, Lore Deng felt very embarrassed, and they just watched Kobe Bryant compete against his opponent five most of the time.

But I can't do anything for my teammates.

And since Coach Wharton's tactics have been arranged very clearly in this section of the game, let's perform well!

Li Feng got the rebound directly, and then bypassed Zeller's defense and immediately passed the ball to Kobe!

The latter ran over to Walker and finally hit a three-point hollow shot under the opponent's defense!

Walker felt like he was going to break out in a cold sweat! What kind of existence is Kobe Bryant?!

He was on a near-desperate defensive front, and he was right both times!

It's just that when Kobe Bryant took off, there was a slight backward movement!

It can only be said that Kobe Bryant has played too many games! In a one-on-one situation, there are too many times when one person is entangled with multiple people!

This made Bryant much more relaxed in terms of muscle memory and experience in dealing with similar situations!

Walker wanted to go over, but saw his teammates all running over right away......

Only Zeller was standing on the sidelines...... Walker immediately turned back to receive his teammate's serve. Then signal your teammates not to act rashly!

In this quarter of the game, the overall combat power of the Lakers soared! If the Hornets still want to play like that in the first half, they will definitely suffer a lot!

The fans at the scene were also nervous about their team.

Seeing that Walker was slow to attack there, Kobe Bryant rushed up directly, forcing Walker to take three steps back in a row and almost return to the court!

Lamb immediately rushed over to receive Walker's pass, and immediately stopped to shake off Nance Jr.!

Then the ball was passed to Hawes, who had a jumper jammed by Randle!

After getting the rebound, Lore Deng made a long pass to Li Feng, who rushed straight across the half court and passed the ball to Kobe Bryant under Belinelli's defense.

The latter easily got up and hit a three-point shot! Then gritted his teeth and pointed at Li Feng!

Even if the Lakers are 20 points behind, Kobe Bryant's murderous expression at this time will make the opponent frightened!!

What's more, the score difference is already 5 points away at this time!

Clifford: "Walker! ”

Walker: "??? ”

Clifford: "Pass the ball to a team-mate on the outside. It seems that under the basket, you guys don't attack easily!

Our ability to play under the basket is relatively limited now! You can also fight with the Lakers for three points! ”

Time is running out for the Hornets! And he didn't want a timeout, so he had to take a risk and fight with his opponent to score!

Do they have any other way?

The Lakers' defense has risen more than one notch!

And the offensive side is also very threatening! This time, Lamb received a pass directly from Walker and then tossed the ball high into Belinelli's hands under the defense of Nance Jr.

The latter hit a three-point shot right away! Finally scored!

And before they were happy. Before the cheers of the fans at the scene passed, Xiao Nance directly received Li Feng's pass in the midfield!

Lore Deng ran a few quick steps and scored a layup after getting a long pass from Nance II in the air!

64:58！ Clifford sighed when he saw this.

It can only be said that their team still suffers in terms of player quality.

He then motioned for a timeout. Kaminski immediately began to warm up on the sidelines.

Clifford: "The offense was changed to a high-low play, and Kaminski and Walker worked together a little bit more. Outside passes to Lamb and Belinelli.

Be sure to pay attention to offensive efficiency. You have to be patient with a Lakers lineup like this......"

As long as they can maintain the lead with their opponents, they can be more relaxed mentally.

Kaminski went straight to the basketball in the midcourt, then tossed the ball to Belinelli and ran to the Lakers box and Randle.

Several times Randall was unsuccessful. In the end, the opponent successfully stuck in the position.

Belinelli passed the ball in under Li Feng's defense, and Kaminsky directly scored Randle with his back!

The moment he landed, he immediately ran in the direction of the front court!

When the teammates saw it, they also unconsciously accelerated the pace of defense!

Li Feng immediately told Randle to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant with his eyes, and the Black Mamba slowly passed the half court after receiving the ball.

In the end, he got entangled with the opposing player. When Belinelli wavered a little and ran a few steps to Kobe's side, the basketball flew directly to Li Feng, who was already in the bottom corner.

The latter got up and scored a three-pointer, cleanly!

Kaminski shook his head, and immediately received a serve from his teammate, and Randle ran over to defend him in the backcourt, a little unconvinced.

But it didn't work out on several occasions, and in the end Kaminski rushed straight to the front.

Seeing Kobe Bryant coming over, he passed the ball to Walker, but it was only a few seconds before Kaminsky took Walker's pass and rushed to the basket to throw it to score points!

Although the number of starts is not much, Kaminski's flexibility is still good!

Li Feng started to run laps in the front court at this time~

Hornets Players Present: "......"

Walker and Lamb glanced at each other, then stared at Li Feng tightly to see what his next move would be.

Li Feng: "No one guards me?" Then I'm going to score~"

Saying that, Li Feng jumped up quickly after rushing directly into the three-second zone!

Zeller, Lamb and Walker jumped in the direction of Li Feng almost at the same time!

But when they were in the air, they saw Li Feng pass the ball out.

Nance Jr. was like shooting drill, he was already waiting there for a long time to catch the ball and hit a jumper three-point shot!

The 11-point lead is still 6 points away from this time!

Although the Hornets are also constantly scoring, they can't stand the Lakers throwing threes all the time......

Clifford kept shaking his head at the start of the third quarter.

It's too hard to lead a team to the top eight in the league right now......

All kinds of things to consider, even if your team has put together a very good lineup from the previous 10 years.

But you have to keep your team adapting to the changes in the league right now.

He thought of shooting three-pointers, and the Lakers would certainly not let go of such an opportunity.

With each round, the pressure on the Hornets players on the floor increased a bit......

Although Walker is very capable of confrontation, he ...... against Kobe Bryant He also has to weigh and weigh and act carefully.

The Hornets began to pass the ball constantly, and Kobe Bryant kept standing next to the three-second zone, and finally ran straight over after seeing the basketball in Belinelli's hands!

After hesitating for almost 2 seconds, Belinelli saw the Black Mamba rushing towards him.

In the end, his shot was directly fanned out by Kobe Bryant at the termination!

Lamb wanted to serve to Zeller, who was not far away, but Nance Jr. flew straight over and knocked the ball away!

Kobe, Li Feng, Walker and Belinelli ran over to the basketball together!

Kobe Bryant got the ball, and then split up with Li Fengbing, and finally Li Feng received the basketball and shook Walker, who flew directly over.

Embarrassment from Walker +523!

Li Feng aimed at the basket at this time, and then got up and scored three points directly into the account!
