Halftime, Magic locker room.

Everyone realized that this game was the "No. 1 in the world" battle between Sun Zhuo and Kobe, although Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant were tied in the first half, but the players of the Magic team believed that Sun Zhuo must win in the end, and it would be Magic who won the game.

Not long ago, they all saw the scene of Sun Zhuo scoring 70 points, which is really unstoppable, the Celtics can't stop Sun Zhuo from scoring, and the Los Angeles Lakers naturally don't have this ability.

Artest, who was fouled three times, said with a smile: "Sun, the second half is going to start to open the gap, right?" We're just waiting for you to get into shape, and then we're going to crush the Lakers together. ”

Monta Ellis also looked relaxed: "I also think that in terms of individual strength, you have surpassed Kobe, he can no longer compare to you, and there will be a win or defeat in the second half." ”

Kevin Durant did not express an opinion, Kobe Bryant is a star he admires very much, but Sun Zhuo's horror, this season, he has also seen it completely, he just sat quietly on the sidelines, watching Sun Zhuo's demeanor change, trying to read something from Sun Zhuo's expression, with a learning attitude, just like a few years ago when he watched Maddy's video and learned Maddy's shooting posture.

Durant is thinking that one day in the future, he will become the boss of a team, and he will start to experience this kind of moment, and he will also be like Sun Zhuo at this time, confident, determined, and calm.

The clarion call for the battle in the third quarter was quickly sounded, the two sides sent their starting lineups, and there were still two full quarters to go before the game was decided, however, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant seemed to be unable to wait in the first minute of the third quarter.

Kobe Bryant and Gasol were blocking and dismantling on the line, and after changing defenses, Kobe Bryant changed direction and pulled out his hand directly outside the three-point line, well, three-point hit!

This time, the Magic team didn't expect Kobe to shoot a three-pointer so decisively, so the defense was not in place, and there was little interference for Kobe.

However, in the next ball, Kobe Bryant obviously felt the pressure outside the three-point line, but he still forced his shot and hit again!

"Kobe Bryant's concentration is so high." Sun Zhuo completely saw Kobe's goal this time, he found that when Kobe Bryant attacked this time, although he forced a shot, but his prediction of defense was very accurate, and it can be seen from his eyes that Kobe Bryant is very focused, and he is also a super scorer.

The Lakers' defense of Sun Zhuo was very fierce, Sun Zhuo still didn't have time to respond, but he didn't expect the Magic offense to miss, the Lakers' defensive counterattack was very fast, and Kobe Bryant this time, when he reached the three-point line, he pretended to break through, but suddenly stepped back and shot a three-pointer, and hit another three-pointer!

"Ahh Bryant tugged at the gold No. 24 jersey with both hands, excited again, and the audience cheered along with his roar.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant hit three three-pointers in a row, and his personal score changed from 32 points to 41 points!

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ The MVP call once again rang through the Staples Center Arena, a place that once belonged to Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo is also MVP, he is also a two-time MVP winner, seeing Kobe Bryant instantly widen the distance, and the audience called him MVP, his heart was naturally a little stimulated, but he is still very confident that he can catch up.

"Shooting three three-pointers in a row is a bit like playing Game 7 against the Celtics, and the way Pierce played two minutes off the court was interesting." Sun Zhuo chuckled lightly, and had already decided to start responding.

However, when Sun Zhuo got the ball again, he was caught in a double bag!

Sun Zhuo's position is not suitable for direct one-two, first quickly divide the ball, and then find a chance to catch the ball, but when his teammates pass it to him again, the ball is broken!

"The Magic have never had a good passer." Phil Jackson had a smile on his face, and there was a big reason why he was able to break the ball successfully this time, and Sun Zhuo's teammates were a little hesitant.

After the Lakers broke the ball, Phil Jackson blew his little finger again, this time the warning was made for Kobe, as early as when he was in the locker room just now, he also explained Kobe, if this is the case, Kobe Bryant will go to his favorite side of the low post with his back to one-on-one, if no one is trapped, he will shoot by himself, with his current state, the shooting rate must be good, if he is trapped, he must divide the ball and let his teammates attack.

"Phil intends to let his teammates fight this time." Kobe Bryant scored 9 points in a row, and he actually wanted to continue playing on his own, but Phil Jackson asked for it, and he had to comply.

Kobe Bryant only hopes that the Magic will not come forward to attack, but how can the Magic let Kobe Bryant shoot in that position?

"Kobe Bryant is trapped."

Kobe Bryant quickly distributed the ball to Fisher at the top of the arc, and Fisher also made a decisive and direct three-point shot!

Swish!

Hit!

"Another three! The Lakers hit four three-pointers in a row! Why are the Lakers suddenly so penchant for shooting threes? I originally thought that the Golden State Warriors and the Orlando Magic were the teams that liked to shoot three-pointers, but I didn't expect the Lakers' three-point shooting today to be even crazier than the Magic, haha. ”

The Magic were forced to call a timeout, and Phil Jackson took the initiative to praise Kobe and Fisher: "Well done, our goal has been achieved." ”

Phil Jackson is trying to make Sun Zhuo impatient at the beginning of the third quarter, and Sun Zhuo is impatient, maybe even more unstoppable, but Phil can guarantee one thing, the team can win.

As expected by the Zen master, Sun Zhuo really became very urgent, on the court, the offensive end was extremely obsessed with getting the ball, and on the defensive end, he also became particularly pursuing steals.

"He's slowly getting unreasonable." Phil Jackson knows Sun Zhuo too well, he is the one who knows Sun Zhuo the most among all NBA coaches, and Popovich can't compare, not only because Popovich has never taken Sun Zhuo, but also because Popovich is completely inferior to Zen Master in terms of understanding human nature.

There's a reason the Lakers can win against the Spurs every time.

In the following time, because Sun Zhuo deliberately pursued scoring, pursuing to be on par with Kobe Bryant in personal data, and even surpassing him, he did a lot of unreasonable and unfavorable things for the team, and the Lakers also deliberately suppressed Sun Zhuo and did not give Sun Zhuo a chance to score, but Sun Zhuo's personal strength is too strong, unless the Lakers are really willing to completely give up the magic and others to contain Sun Zhuo, otherwise, any form of defense is not a problem for Sun Zhuo.

A few minutes later, Sun Zhuo suddenly returned to the top scorer and scored continuously!

"Sun is also 40 points, the Lakers' defense wants to limit Sun, but he still can't do it, I didn't have much impression of the brothers Pau Gasol and Mark Gasol, and today I watched their matchup, and I feel that my brother is not as tough as my brother." O'Neill said off the court, like a commentator.

Wade smiled, O'Neal is a guy who always likes to analyze the toughness of a player, "I agree with you, it seems that it is difficult for Sun and Kobe to distinguish the winner for a while, and it depends on the performance in the fourth quarter, but during this time, the Lakers have pulled the score away." ”

O'Neal snorted lightly, seemingly only focusing on the duel between the two, ignoring the gap between the teams, he looked at the Zen master who was standing tall and straight in the Lakers player's seat, and whispered: "This old guy ......"

Sun Zhuo finally caught up with Kobe Bryant in scoring, and the catch up is not over, he still wants to take advantage of the situation to surpass Kobe!

"Surpass Kobe, Sun, your offensive ability is already above Kobe, go shoot, go steal." Phil Jackson looked at Sun Zhuo, his eyes showed the same desire as him, wishing that Sun Zhuo would do such a thing.

At this time, Sun Zhuo fell into the trap of the Zen master again, and the number of mistakes and fouls began to increase.

Syllable!

Sun Zhuo steals and the thug fouls.

Rumble!

Odom was knocked to the ground by Sun Zhuo, apparently on purpose.

Stan Van Gundy is also complaining to the referee that it shouldn't have been an offensive foul!

"Huh." Phil Jackson smiled faintly, his plan had been achieved, Sun Zhuo had fallen into his trap, and even Stan Van Gundy was starting to get impatient.

In contrast, the Zen master appears more calm and calm, and everything is under control.

But Sun Zhuo is not a mortal after all, on the court, his own mistakes, usually can be made up by himself, gradually, Sun Zhuo became more cautious, and did not reduce the desire to attack in the slightest, with his performance, the point difference is gradually narrowing, because Kobe's state began to decline, and the Lakers began to make mistakes.

The Zen master is not alarmed, no one can always be unmistaken, and the Lakers are the same, but they can accept it, and the situation is still under their control.

Soon, the game entered the decisive stage of the fourth quarter.

Kobe Bryant and Sun Zhuo are still scoring......

"Damn, this guy can still run like this!" Artest defended Kobe Bryant, he was already a little miserable, this is the first time in his career that he has been so tired, this time, he fought with Kobe Bryant very fiercely, it was hard enough, and it consumed Kobe's physical energy, but I didn't expect Kobe to be now, and his physical fitness still looks very abundant.

Fast running, catching, dangling, jumpers, Artest has been impatient with Kobe's feints, Kobe is definitely a master of feints, and there are too many moves to deal with Artest.

Backbite!

Another whistle blew, Kobe Bryant got a free throw, and Artest had already committed his fifth foul.

"Ron Artest is about to leave the field with six fouls, and they are really fierce in this game."

"Kobe Bryant is about to score his 50th point, and he will soon catch up with Sun's 55 points."

At this time, Sun Zhuo had already scored 55 points, and after Kobe Bryant hit both free throws, he scored 51 points, and the two were still neck-and-neck.

But at this stage, the gap in scoring ability between Kobe and Sun Zhuo is gradually reflected.

Sun Zhuo can still continue to score like he did in the first quarter, because he has many tools and can score from any position, while Kobe Bryant is relatively a little more single.

What's more, Bryant had a lot of difficult goals at the beginning, and he was able to score in the face of Artest, and he was still able to score in the face of the three-man bag defense.

But now after scoring 50 points, Kobe Bryant's difficult goals no longer exist, due to the consumption of physical energy, it is difficult for him to hit these difficult goals again, and sometimes, some difficult shots will be very outrageous, and there will even be a three-not-stick situation.

Therefore, when Sun Zhuo scored 60 points, Kobe Bryant was still in the stage of more than 50 points and did not catch up.

O'Neal saw this and said: "Kobe Bryant's scoring is gradually weak, and Sun's scoring means are still so many, the scoring ability of the two should have been divided." ”

Wade also nodded, he naturally stood on the side of his good brother Sun Zhuo.

And Kobe, although he is already a little tired, does not have the slightest sign of admitting defeat.

"It's only 50 points, so where is it?" Kobe Bryant is the one who has scored 82 points, although it was in the regular season, but for Kobe, it makes no difference, but today's defender is Artest, so let him consume a little more physically.

"Artest, this bastard, if it weren't for him, I would have scored 60 points a long time ago, I have to let him go quickly." Kobe Bryant held his breath in order to let Artest commit six fouls, and he wanted to beat one strongly.

Kobe's skills are still a big part of his foul making, you don't know when he's going to shoot, you don't know what he's going to do next, Kobe Bryant tried his best to cheat Artest for another foul.

Artest was fouled by six.

Artest was very depressed and unwilling, Sun Zhuo came over and comforted: "You have done a good job, leave the rest to me." ”

In Artest's absence, the win rate for the Lakers has increased.

"Kobe Bryant's final score will be lost to Sun, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can hit a few shots in the final moments." Phil Jackson is still thinking about the outcome of the whole game, and he doesn't care about Kobe's personal victory or defeat, not that he doesn't care, but in his heart, he already has the answer.

In terms of shooting alone, near and middle distance, Kobe Bryant is about the same as Sun Zhuo, and even Kobe is a little better, but in long-distance shooting, Sun Zhuo is much better than Kobe.

Then, everything went just as the Zen master had predicted, Sun Zhuo scored 60 points, and soon again 70 points, and he once again tied the playoff single-game scoring record he had set!

"Oh my God, Sun has been crazy this season, scoring 70 points twice in the playoffs! I thought he wouldn't be able to appear again for nearly fifty years after the last time he got it, but I didn't expect it to be a few days later......"

"Kobe Bryant has just reached 60 points now, although he is already great, but compared with Sun, I'm afraid it's still a little worse."

The game is coming to an end, and in this game, Kobe and Sun Zhuo both tried their best, and the result was that at the end of the game, Sun Zhuo once again reached the highest score record in the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant was 10 points less.

This can already show that in terms of personal scoring ability, Sun Zhuo is slightly stronger than Kobe.

At this time, the Magic still trailed by 6 points and still had a chance, but at this time, Kobe Bryant hit another game-killing three-pointer and his personal score came to 63 points.

"The magic is over."

Sun Zhuo saw that the game was about to be buried, and couldn't help but enter the penalty area, the opponent fouled, only scored one free throw, and finally scored 71 points in the whole game.

Bryant also fixed at 63 points.

The Lakers won the first game!
