"Kobe's physical strength should be in trouble, in the last few minutes, his scoring efficiency has been greatly inferior to before, and his backward shots after several back-to-back turns have been ironed, and it is obvious that Kobe's physical strength is now exhausted."

"The Spurs' consumption of Kobe is too great, in the first quarter of the game with Leonard to defend Kobe, in the second and third quarters with Meng Xu to defend Kobe, after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, Leonard began to defend Kobe Bryant, the Spurs have maintained a high-intensity defense against Kobe from beginning to end, with Kobe's current physical condition, I don't want a few minutes, Kobe's physical fitness will be exhausted."

"Kobe Bryant's physical fitness is exhausted, then the Lakers have no chance at all, although there are many star players in this Lakers team, but when it comes to critical moments, few can stand up."

With the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the situation on the court is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Lakers, after experiencing the failure of the previous strategy, D'Antoni finally gave up the run-and-gun tactics, and after the start of the fourth quarter, arranged a lineup with Kobe Bryant as the core, ready to use the superstar single tactics to do the last game.

Since the birth of the NBA, there have been many tactics, but at the critical moment of the game, most teams and head coaches will give up all tactics and routines, and let the strongest point in their respective teams hold the ball alone, don't look at D'Antoni in the first three quarters of the game, no matter what the situation is on the court, he is very stubborn and asks the players under his command to strictly follow their own tactics to execute, but at the end of the game, D'Antoni can't care about so much, in a word, give the ball to Kobe! Although D'Antoni also wants to replicate the mercury offense of the Suns in the Lakers, but in the face of the cruel reality, D'Antoni has to make a compromise, because today's game cannot be lost no matter what.

However, the situation after the start of the fourth quarter made D'Antoni realize that he had compromised too late, if D'Antoni could have made a compromise in the second half of the third quarter, and when Pau Gasol was chasing the score with the bench, he would not continue to try to use run-and-gun tactics to deal with the Spurs, maybe the Lakers would have overtaken the score by now.

But it's too late to say anything now, the Lakers' defeat was doomed in the second half of the third quarter, and Popovich himself has a lot of experience in dealing with run-and-gun tactics, and the Lakers' run-and-gun tactics are not even half-finished now, so in this case, it is difficult for the Lakers to defeat the Spurs with run-and-gun tactics.

There are 5 minutes and 40 seconds left in the game, the gap between the two sides is 11 points, the game between the Spurs and the Lakers has basically been decided, but when the official pause, Kobe rejected D'Antoni's plan to replace him, although Kobe's physical fitness has been problematic, but Kobe still chose to continue to stay on the court, with Kobe's character, if he does not play to the last minute, the last second, he will never admit defeat, especially today's opponent is Meng Xu, Kobe Bryant is even more unacceptable to such an ending.

"Old fellow, I knew you weren't reconciled!"

After the pause, when Kobe Bryant reappeared with Gasol, he saw the Spurs players who were walking on the court not far away, in this official timeout just now, Popovich replaced all the main forces except Meng Xu, and let Meng Xu reappear with a group of substitutes, and Meng Xu, who walked on the court, did not go directly to the Spurs' half to prepare for defense, but walked directly towards Kobe, with an expression that I had already seen through your conspiracy.

"Old fellow, do you think you've won?" Looking at Meng Xu who was walking towards him, Kobe Bryant felt a little moved in his heart, but on the surface, Kobe Bryant still looked unforgiving, especially looking at Meng Xu's smug expression, Kobe Bryant's heart became more and more unhappy.

"I'm sure I've won, isn't that obvious?" Meng Xu is really not afraid of stimulating Kobe, the stronger Kobe's strength and fighting spirit, the happier Meng Xu is.

"Hmph." After snorting heavily, Kobe Bryant ignored Meng Xu, but turned his head to look at the sidelines, where Pau Gasol was ready to send a sideline ball.

As the whistle blew at the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant, who was originally near the halfway line, immediately turned back towards the Lakers' halfcourt, and after receiving Gasol's pass, Kobe stopped and began to advance with the ball to the frontcourt.

However, after Kobe Bryant just reached the center line, he encountered Meng Xu's defense, Meng Xu's height and arm span surpassed Kobe, and the movement speed seemed to be a little faster than Kobe, so when Kobe Bryant encountered Meng Xu's defense when he held the ball for a long time, there was a great chance that Meng Xu would break the ball, but in this attack, Kobe did not pass the ball to his teammates after encountering Meng Xu's defense, because passing was not Kobe's style at this time.

"It's time for Kobe to pass the ball, if he continues to dribble like this, he will definitely make a mistake." When Kobe Bryant continued to advance with the ball under Meng Xu's defense, in the press box on the sidelines, those reporters who supported Kobe Bryant had already begun to worry about Kobe.

However, just when they were still discussing, Kobe Bryant, who was under Meng Xu's defense, suddenly stopped his footsteps, stepped back and jumped, and made a shooting posture when he was about to reach the top of the arc with Meng Xu's forehead defense.

"Three-pointer, is Kobe going to use a three-pointer to steal points?"

"Brush!" When Kobe Bryant faced Meng Xu's defensive three-point shot, the Staples Center instantly erupted in cheers, Kobe's three-point shot was undoubtedly a very good omen for the fans on the scene.

Kobe Bryant began to steal points, which undoubtedly means that this is the last struggle between the Lakers and Kobe, as long as Kobe Bryant's last counterattack momentum is held, then this game will be completely over.

"Although Kobe Bryant hit this three-pointer, it is still very difficult for the Lakers to catch up with the score in a short period of time." The three-point shot by Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly a boost for the Lakers, but Magic Johnson is still not optimistic that the Lakers can reverse the game, because the Lakers have no way to solve the Spurs' offense, as long as they can't prevent the Spurs' offense, even if Kobe Bryant throws more three points, there is no way to change the situation on the court, because the current situation on the court is completely biased towards the Spurs.

And in this round after Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer, Meng Xu quickly hit back Kobe with a three-point shot at the place where Kobe threw a three-pointer.

As expected by Magic Johnson, in the next game, Kobe Bryant hit two of three three-pointers, but the difference between the two sides was not narrowed much, Kobe Bryant scored 9 points on 3 of 4 shots, and Meng Xu also scored 8 points on 3 of 4 shots.

After three of the four shots, Kobe Bryant hit the iron with two consecutive shots, although on the Spurs' side, Meng Xu only shot 1 of two, but the score on the court has been stretched to 12 points, and the time left for Kobe Bryant is less than two minutes.

"The Lakers lost, but they didn't lose to the Spurs, they lost to themselves, they lost to their extremely chaotic tactics and execution, and if they don't make changes in the next games, then they are doomed to fail this season." Although the whistle at the end of the game has not yet sounded, Magic Johnson in the commentary seat is already making a post-game summary, and Magic Johnson is quite dissatisfied with the Lakers' performance this season.

"That's true, the Lakers' performance this season is far from what the crowd expects from them!" Before the start of the new season, Michaels was also one of the people who shouted about the Lakers championship, but the Lakers' performance after the start of the new season could not even be described, not to mention Magic Johnson, even Michaels was disappointed in the Lakers.
