Basketball, a game of zero-sum games, is destined to be life-and-death on the court.

No matter how intimate you are off the pitch, you have to compete on the pitch and see each other as enemies.

As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons on the court... No, there are no brothers on the court.

The most famous example is the 1988 NBA Finals, where Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas, who had excellent off-court relationships, had to hug each other in a routine manner before the first few games of the Finals.

But as the game progressed and the two sides fought more and more fiercely, the intimacy made them feel disgusting.

They were cut off for quite some time and didn't recover until long after the finals.

These superstars in the United States have just formed a team in London to win the championship and will have to go their separate ways back in the United States.

Kobe Bryant and Paul are both competitive people, and they are both in Los Angeles, and they will definitely compete openly and secretly.

Kobe Bryant is far ahead in honor and is a well-deserved son of Los Angeles.

And Paul is young, and he has a chance to catch up with Kobe, although it is difficult to reach Kobe's achievements.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 80-77, with the Lakers leading by three points.

Clippers coach Negro is feeling a bit of a headache.

I thought the third quarter would be the time for the team to get up.

But the team's momentum was cut off by the No. 28 kid and Kobe Bryant.

Li Liang's foul on Paul on the defensive end, as well as his close follow-up, made the Clippers' offensive efficiency decrease.

Except for the 9:2 at the beginning of the third quarter, there has been no continuous output in the back.

And Bryant regained his form after a period of offensive slump.

In Los Angeles, he didn't want to give up the crown of the city's king easily.

He played ferociously and aggressively tonight, not the Kobe Bryant who had been playing the ball in the first two games.

That's the fake Kobe, this is the real Kobe.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Liang was put on the bench by Mike Brown.

He needed a break.

In these three games, Li Liang was not on the court, and he would be forgotten on the court as soon as he played.

No way, the Lakers' bench is really too lacking in energy.

Ibanks, who played well in the preseason, couldn't withstand it at all in the regular season.

The defense is really not good, as soon as he gets on the field, he will be blinded, and he is not at the same level as Li Liang at all.

Sure enough, strength is the only criterion for testing the technical and tactical level of a player.

Li Liang sat on the bench and drank a lot of water, and the duel with Paul consumed a lot of his physical strength.

However, this kind of duel is a reward for him.

You can always learn a lot by playing against the masters.

At this point, the game between the Lakers and the Clippers continued on the court.

Both sides are bench players, with the Lakers rotating nine players and Negro starting the 11-man rotation.

First, because the Clippers do have more people who can play, and there are many powerful players such as Odom, Crawford, Barnes, Turiaf, Hollins, and Bledsoe on the bench.

The second is Negro's style is that he likes to expand the rotation, use more substitutes, change the rhythm, and like the feeling of on-the-spot command.

Mike Brown is relatively conservative, and both styles have their pros and cons, and the key is who can win.

It's up to the players.

The main players rested off the field, and the substitutes launched an attack on the field.

The Clippers are led by Crawford, and on the Lakers' side, Jamison and Ci Shiping are two charges.

The field was once mired in chaos, and the score rose alternately.

Ci Shiping does not play the starting line with a substitute, and the effect is actually very good.

He was originally a more versatile player, with breakouts, shots, three-pointers, and strong offense under the basket.

It's just that I'm getting older, my defense is degrading, and then my outside shooting is very unremarkable.

If the inside line is cleared, Howard and Gasol are not there, and he rushes in with the ball alone, which is still very powerful.

After three games, Mike Brown already has the idea of letting Tzu Shiping play the sixth man.

It's just that he has relatively high qualifications, so he still starts fakely.

Fortunately, Mike Brown knows that Ci Shiping has a bad temper, but he admires and likes Li Liang.

The two have a good relationship in private, and there is no problem of competing for position.

It was Gasol and Howard who gave Mike Brown more headaches.

Howard's style doomed Gasol to play more uncomfortable, but he couldn't put Gasol on the bench for nothing.

It's hard, it's really hard.

The fourth quarter lasted more than 4 minutes, and the two sides were difficult to solve, 90:88, and the Clippers still trailed by 2 points.

Mike Brown took the lead in calling a timeout, replaced the bench, replaced the main team, and had a showdown with the Clippers!

The atmosphere in Stepups has reached a peak, and everyone knows that the climax of the game is coming.

Who killed the deer? Who is the real king of Los Angeles?

The main players of both sides reappeared, and the Clippers still kept Crawford on the court.

Although his defense is really not good, the offense cannot do without him.

Otherwise, the outside line only relies on Paul for a point of possession, and it will be troublesome to be marked like in the third quarter.

On the Lakers' side, Morris went off the court and Li Liang appeared.

The same lineup as the last lineup against the Trail Blazers in the last game, the lineup of three forwards.

Bryant plays point guard and controls the offense.

Li Liang and Ci Shiping formed a double gate, and leaving Li Liang on the court was also a very threatening three-point point.

In the last 7 minutes, the Lakers served the baseline ball.

Kobe dribbled across the half court, and Paul directly opposed Kobe.

Li Liang wanted to come over as a cover, but Kobe Bryant waved his hand directly and motioned for Li Liang to get out of the way.

This is Paul, and Kobe Bryant is going to compete with Paul.

Back then, even when Karl Malone came to block and dismantle, Kobe Bryant could let him get out, let alone Li Liang?

But Li Liang won't get out!

He insisted on going to the middle to cover Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant insisted on not using Li Liang's cover.

He dribbled directly and accelerated from the left, which amounted to a fake screen, and slashed into the three-second zone from the middle.

The Clippers defense shrank, and Bryant turned around and made a pass to the outside.

At the top of the arc, Li Liang just received the ball.

There is no one in front of him, he will not be polite, open his hand and shoot three points!

"Huh!"

A crisp goal!

Bryant contributed his second assist of the game.

"I said it, I don't need your cover, I said it." Kobe Bryant ran back to the backcourt and showed off to Li Liang.

Li Liang didn't hesitate to ignore him, and scored a goal anyway.

It was the second three-pointer Li Liang hit, plus a fast-break and a foul after a frontcourt rebound, and he scored 10 points.

It's a double!

It's a pity that the system didn't react at all, why didn't you give an achievement to score a double, let me draw a prize?

Just thinking about the draw, Chris Paul has launched a quick counterattack.

Paul is a very smart player and he knows the importance of rhythm.

After being hit with a three-pointer to stretch the margin to five points, he immediately turned back and made a single shot to the basket.

Caused a foul on Howard and made a free throw from the free throw line.

Scoring points at the free-throw line is the safest and can press the rhythm.

Paul sensed that the Lakers wanted to get on the ground.

Howard looked a little depressed after the foul.

He was average today and didn't get any attacking chances.

In the last game, he also killed all sides, scoring 30 points, and only got 6 shots today.

The fouls have reached 5 because Paul's organization is too permeable and there are always holes in the inside.

Paul hit both free throws to keep the margin at three.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant still controls the ball, and he seems to be in control.

As the saying goes, a ball in hand, there is no one in the world.

Kobe Bryant is still better at playing with the ball, and this time he did not refuse Li Liang's blocking.

Anyway, Howard doesn't like to come out as cover, so let Li Liang do the wall.

The significance of Li Liang's wall is that his external threat is very great.

There are Howard and Gasol on the inside, and if Li Liang cuts in again, it will be too crowded inside.

He cut out and made a good three-pointer in one hand, which greatly expanded the Lakers' offensive space.

Kobe Bryant dribbled directly after blocking and wiping it in, facing the little Jordan who came over to make up for the defense, he accelerated and changed direction, and then dunked with one arm!

After the goal, Bryant roared, hammered his chest hard, and pulled his jersey.

It's as if he's saying, I'm the king of Los Angeles!

The Lakers fans in the stadium bowed to their dynasty with cheers.

Li Liang shook his head, thinking that he was unstable, not stable at all.

Pompous, frivolous.

But the boost to the Lakers' momentum is huge.

The Clippers immediately returned one, Paul and Griffin blocked the high position, Griffin went down, received Paul's pass, and also blew up the basket with one arm!

Although his arms are short, he jumps high!

The emerging power of Los Angeles flexes his muscles to the old king.

Howard didn't dare to defend easily because he had five fouls on his back.

The fight between the two sides became more and more intense, and the physical confrontation became stronger and stronger.

Kobe Bryant was already red-eyed, and he scored back-to-back inside points and drew a foul on Griffin.

And Paul is still calmly controlling the court, passing, and assisting.

But the scales of victory are tipping in favor of the Los Angeles Lakers.

With two minutes left in the game, the Lakers led the Clippers by five points at 101-96.

Negro called a timeout to set up an attack.

5 points, if you score, there will be a fight, and if you can't score, the situation will be more dangerous.

This situation is similar to the last game in which the Trail Blazers played the Lakers.

It's a crucial defensive moment again.

From the fourth quarter onwards, the burden of defending Paul has shifted to Kobe.

After all, he's the Lakers' best perimeter defender, a viper who is good at biting opponents on both ends of the floor.

The 34-year-old Bryant came to the crucial moment of the game and raised his defensive rating to the state he was in when he was 24.

Paul vs Kobe, the two met in the playoffs two years ago.

At that time, the Lakers were at the end of their power, and their strength was still there, while Paul was at his peak, and the Hornets were already in the prime of life.

In the series, Paul did everything a point guard could do, and the Hornets still lost the game.

This series made Kobe Bryant feel what it means to "the team won, I didn't win." ”

Kobe Bryant is keeping an all-out focus on Paul, his movement speed is higher than Li Liang's, his center of gravity is lower, and he is more aggressive.

Griffin and Jordan Jr. stepped forward to double cover for Paul, Paul walked to the middle, and Kobe Bryant chased after him desperately.

The action of both sides was not small, but the referee did not blow the foul, leaving the superstars of both sides to decide the trend of the game.

Paul went in from the middle and Kobe followed!

Paul stepped back with the ball and tried to jump, but Bryant's arm came up.

In the air, Paul felt the ball was going to be covered, and immediately used his waist and abdomen to twist the ball out.

The Lakers are empty in the middle, and Griffin has cut in.

When you catch the ball, it's another hoop bombardment.

But Li Liang appeared between Paul and Griffin!

The ball was broken by him!

He used his hand a little, and the ball flew straight to the baseline.

Seeing that he was about to go out of bounds, Li Liang flew to save the ball and threw it back to Howard!

Then someone else rushed straight into the audience, knocking down a photographer and knocking over two audience members.

But he was okay and immediately got up.

He could hear the fans cheering him on.

The Lakers have launched a counterattack, and he must keep up.

Bryant dribbled to the three-point line, one shook his shoulders, and the other passed.

Then Bryant made a sideways step-back jumper from 10 feet away!

The pose is picturesque.

"Tou Nima! Breakthrough! ”

When Li Liang followed from behind, he couldn't help yelling when he saw Kobe Bryant choosing to shoot.

The ball really missed, and Howard, who was following behind, grabbed the rebound in the front court, but the rebound still missed!

A ball is grabbed under the basket, the ball flies in the sky, and a bunch of hands underneath.

I don't know who pulled the ball out, and flew to Li Liang on the outside impartially.

People stand on the outside, and the ball comes from the sky!

Of course, Li Liang will not let go of such an opportunity, Lao Tzu voted!

Just now asked Kobe Bryant not to shoot for him to burst, he took the ball himself and threw it.

Don't talk about stopping, organizing an attack, and consuming time.

But it can't be helped, who made him shoot three-pointers?

87 three points, plus the bonus of "Ray Allen's zero-second shot", as well as the feel rune, and the right state!

The ball is in the heart of the basket!

Three-point hit!

After scoring the goal, Li Liang raised his right hand and made a three-point gesture!

The Staples Center was jubilant and deafening.

Who is the king of Los Angeles?

It's me!

At this moment, Li Liang said loudly to himself in his heart.
