Less than two minutes after the first quarter, the fans on the sidelines could already clearly feel the change in Kobe's style.

Kobe Bryant actually made assists for his teammates in several offensive rounds in a row?! This makes fans feel like they have watched a fake game, is this still Kobe?

Big Gasol and Artest, with the assistance of Kobe, hit one after another, and they have gradually taken the lead.

And Leonard continued to meticulously carry out the task assigned to him by Richard, that is, to stare at Kobe Bryant and not let him score 20......

Judging from the current situation on the court, Kobe Bryant is really likely to score no more than 20 points in this game, whether he is really defended by Leonard, or if he wants to play more selflessly, anyway, after the first half, Kobe Bryant only scored 8 points.

8 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, quite an all-round statistic, so versatile that it doesn't look like Kobe Bryant's play.

If Kobe Bryant's teammates are all weak, then Kobe's selfless style of play is obviously self-defeating, and now the other players on the court are not bad, and they are all playing with quite good efficiency.

Gasol Sr. won the game head-to-head with Horford, scoring 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting in the first half.

If you really want to talk about it, in fact, the styles of Horford and Big Gasol are still somewhat similar, but at the moment Horford has not yet reached his peak, compared to Big Gasol, who is in his prime, the strength is naturally not enough.

As for Monroe, this second-year blue-collar insider is completely inadequate in front of the historical-level blue-collar Big Ben.

Although Ben's state is declining now, it is easy to clean up a raw melon and egg Monroe.

The inside line was blown up across the board, and the outside Thompson faced a one-on-one defense by Artest, a historical outside defender, and the game was also quite tormenting, with a somewhat embarrassing 3-of-11 shooting percentage in the first half.

Leonard was not bad, shooting 3-of-6 in the first half.

Richard knew the game was over, and with the Lakers leading by fifteen points at halftime, the Clippers basically lost hope of a comeback.

"Toot toot!" The referees blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the game went into garbage time at the start of the fourth quarter, with the Clippers losing the game by a whopping 22 points.

It was Richard's biggest loss to the Lakers since entering the NBA.

There is really no way, the new melon egg has never experienced the playoffs, even Horford, a half-veteran who has completed the execution of his rookie contract, has no playoff game experience before.

At present, there is only one player in the Clippers team who has combat power and playoff experience, and I am afraid there is only one Sun Yue.

But although Sun Yue has won a lot of championships with the Pirates, he actually has only a handful of playoff minutes, after all, he is a complete soy sauce role in the Pirates......

If it weren't for soy sauce, Jordan wouldn't have let Sun Yue go at that time.

And the Lakers' playoff experience, that's really too much to say, Big Ben and Kobe Bryant have never missed the playoffs since they entered the league, and they are regulars in the Finals.

The gap between the two sides in terms of playoff experience alone is already desperately large.

So no one was surprised to lose this game......

In the next G2 and G3, the Clippers lost the game again, especially G3, which is the home of the Clippers......

Well, in fact, these two teams don't have any home and away games, and they both play at Staples Arena anyway.

It seems that the rhythm is already going to be swept away, after all, the 3:0 deficit situation must have no chance of turning the tables around.

However, Richard has not given up hope, and his goal is to win at least one game, not more, just one win.

Even if it is only one win, it is enough to make these new melons experience the thrill of winning the playoffs, and let them remember this feeling, which is good for the championship next year.

……

Now, if you want to win the game, Leonard and Thompson are naturally the top priorities.

Richard needs Leonard's defense, as well as Thompson's offense, to help the team open up the situation.

……

"Sit down, man." Richard said with a solemn expression at Leonard, who pushed the door in.

Leonard sat in front of Richard a little shyly.

"Do you think we still have a chance to win this series?"

Richard asked a question that Leonard was difficult to answer......

After a while, Leonard's face turned red, he was not good at words, and he really did not know how to answer Richard's question.

In the current situation, don't think about advancing anyway, as for being able to win the next game, even Leonard is not very optimistic.

"Young man, I gave you the task in the first game, and you did it beautifully."

"And in this game, I will assign you another task, which is to lead the team to win the Lakers!"

Richard said with a rather serious expression.

In the first game, Richard assigned the task, naturally, to limit Kobe's scoring, and in that game, Kobe Bryant scored 17 points at the end, and Leonard completed Richard's task.

And now Richard has given Leonard a task that sounds incredibly daunting: to win the Lakers.

Hearing Richard's words, Leonard's face was full of shock......

Looking at Leonard's shocked expression, Richard continued to say solemnly: "I won't tell you ...... truth"

"You may not believe it yourself, but you are the leader of this team, you should know what this means?"

"I, Richard, have never missed a person's eye, which means that you will become the leader of a dynastic team, a superstar who will forever go down in history!"

"In that case, I think your father should be extremely pleased in the spirit of heaven."

When it comes to Leonard's father, Richard is also embarrassed.

A few years ago, in '08, Leonard's father was shot dead in his family's car wash.

At that time, Leonard was only 16 years old, and when he encountered this kind of thunderbolt from the blue, he would definitely not be able to stand it.

Before the age of 16, Leonard was quieter, but he was not as withdrawn as he is now.

His expression and gaze were full of loneliness, even though more than three years had passed since this incident, Leonard still could not come out of the shadows.

To this day, the killer is still at large......

Jordan's father was also shot, but at least the killer was found.

Every time he thought about it, Richard felt sad for Leonard, a child suffering this kind of pain, maybe the death of his father was tormenting him every moment.

If this had happened to him, Richard felt that he might have become more withdrawn than Leonard.

……

Hearing Richard mention his father, Leonard's eyes immediately reddened, and he could see that this was an eternal scar in his heart.

"Boy, work hard, you have more energy in your body than you think!"

"Playing every game and trying to be the best player in the league is definitely what your dad would like to see."

"This is the first time you've made the playoffs in your career, and as the leader of the Clippers, I don't want you to hand in a swept report card!"

"So, no matter what, in this next game, you have to lead the team to win!"

……

Leonard was shocked, what Richard said was not wrong at all, isn't what his father expects is that he can get ahead?!

And now that Richard has promised to become the leader of the Clippers, the only thing he can do now is to prove himself and prove that he has the ability to lead the team as a leader!

Leonard also firmly believes that his father must be watching every game he plays, just like before he was 16 years old, his father would never miss any of his games even if he had a job at hand.

Leonard gritted his teeth, and if he wants to win this next game, he must win.

For nothing else, just for his father's expectations and Richard's trust.
