"Kobe, don't you think you played a little too many singles in the first half?" When the game entered the halftime stage, just walked into the locker room and sat in front of his locker closet, O'Neal opened to Kobe Bryant with a displeased face, throughout the first half, Kobe Bryant was obsessed with the heads-up between Meng Xu, and in 21 minutes of playing time, Kobe Bryant made as many as 21 shots, accounting for half of the Lakers' shots. Although Bryant hit 12 of 21 shots, including three 3-pointers, he scored 32 points in the first half of the game, and the shooting percentage was good enough. But Kobe's behavior of ignoring his teammates still made O'Neal very dissatisfied, especially what made O'Neal feel indignant was that he had already occupied a very good offensive position under the basket several times, but this guy just didn't pass the ball to himself, but chose to single Meng Xu, so after walking into the locker room, O'Neal immediately put on a big brother and taught Kobe Bryant a lesson with a straight face, hoping that this kid could make a little change in the second half.

"Kobe, you have to trust your teammates, you know, even if you are as great as Michael, he can't beat a team alone, basketball is a five-person sport, and everyone on the court can influence the outcome of the game。。。。。。" After O'Neal taught Kobe Bryant, head coach Phil Jackson also walked up to Kobe with a tactical board and began to instill chicken soup for the soul, hoping that Kobe Bryant would be able to repent after drinking this bowl of chicken soup.

Listening to Phil Jackson whispering in his ear, Kobe Bryant not only did not wake up in the slightest, but had a sense of disgust for Phil Jackson, in Kobe's opinion, Phil Jackson's heart, O'Neal will always be the strongest, no matter when and where, O'Neal will always be the core of the team, and even if he performs well, he is not as good as O'Neal in his eyes, he can only go forward according to the route he planned for himself, he can only be Pippen, and he can only give O'Neal a hand and be a little brother. As his strength gets stronger and stronger, the outside world praises him more and more, and in Kobe's heart, he hates this feeling more and more, especially after watching his opponent Meng Xu become the boss of the Pacers, this feeling is even stronger. And Kobe Bryant also hates others to compare himself with Jordan, although since he entered the league, Kobe has been labeled as Jordan's successor, but in Kobe's heart, Jordan is Jordan, Kobe is Kobe, and he will never be the so-called Jordan second.

"Hmph." Listening to Phil Jackson's chatter, Kobe Bryant twisted his head to the side a little impatiently, neither contradicted Phil Jackson, nor made some promises to him, Kobe Bryant is now in the period of middle two and rebellion, and Kobe Bryant can't listen to anything that doesn't meet his expectations.

"Okay, let me tell you what you should pay attention to in the second half。。。。。。" After seeing that Kobe Bryant was very faceless, Phil Jackson got up and left a little helplessly. In fact, the Lakers played well in the first half, relying on Kobe's excellent shooting percentage, at the end of the half, the Lakers were 2 points ahead of the Pacers, and the situation on the court still looked favorable to the Lakers. But according to Phil Jackson's experience over the years and his understanding of Kobe, it is impossible for him to maintain such a shooting rate in the first half throughout the game, so once Kobe's shooting rate fluctuates, the situation on the court is likely to be reversed, which is basically a common problem of single-play tactical teams. And according to Kobe's style of play, by the crucial fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant is likely to have no physical strength. This game is a must-win game for the Lakers, so Phil Jackson has to plan ahead and take into account any factors that affect the game, but it is clear that Kobe Bryant can't understand his painstaking efforts, and in his heart, he must be the bad guy who united with O'Neal to suppress him.

"Kobe, isn't that your style?" When the third quarter of the game began, Meng Xu, who originally wanted to lure Kobe Bryant to continue to fight with him, found that Kobe not only did not hold the ball alone, but also did not shoot, even if he ran out of a very good position, Kobe, who received a pass from his teammates, did not shoot, but passed the basketball again, which made Meng Xu very embarrassed, if this was not the game, Meng Xu would even ask Kobe Bryant what kind of situation happened to make a person who only had a basket in his eyes become not even a vacant position.

"You have to take care of it." After hearing Meng Xu's words, Kobe Bryant pushed Meng Xu hard, and then ran towards the bottom line, the third quarter has been played for nearly 4 minutes, Kobe Bryant did not make a single shot, although he did not shoot, but Kobe Bryant did not slack off on the defensive end and the offensive end, but continued to run according to the team's established tactics.

"Kobe, why don't you come to the Pacers next season, you and I will join forces to abuse this big fat man, in the Pacers, no one will restrict you from shooting, you brush scores, I brush assists, the best of both worlds, and you and I can win 6 championships together." Meng Xu gave full play to the style of watching the excitement and not making a big deal, and after being pushed away by Kobe, he immediately followed.

"Get out, whoever wants to join forces with you, my goal is to bring you down and trample you under your feet, forever..." After hearing that Meng Xu was going to recruit himself, Kobe Bryant's anger immediately came up, even if I wanted to leave the Lakers, I wouldn't go to the Pacers, join forces with you, and be your big dream of spring and autumn.

"Kobe, you'll never be able to take me down, never..." After Kobe's voice fell, Meng Xu, who was originally smiling, immediately became serious.

"Idiot." After scolding Meng Xu viciously, Kobe Bryant finally got rid of Meng Xu who was stalking him through the cross run with Fisher, but Kobe, who appeared in the vacant position, still did not shoot after receiving a pass from Rick Fox, but passed the basketball to Fisher.

"Idiot!" Looking at Kobe Bryant, who looked indifferent, and Phil Jackson, who was blue on the sidelines, Meng Xu could guess a rough idea, it must have been at halftime, Phil Jackson criticized Kobe Bryant for making too many shots, and then made a twisted Kobe, and simply stopped shooting in the third quarter, don't you think I have more shots? Then I won't make a move, it's okay if the team wins, and once the team is behind, you can go back and beg me to make a move. I have to say that Kobe Bryant is a second-class fantasy, or a person full of personal heroism, at this time, he is still thinking about being a hero, and he has to rely on his own strength to save the team.

"Is something wrong with the Lakers?" As the third quarter of the game progressed, in the case of Kobe Bryant's obvious reluctance to shoot, the Pacers began to frantically pinch O'Neal, O'Neal in the off-ball state is a double bag, as long as he catches the ball, it is immediately a three-person bag, for a time the Pacers' basket is almost crowded, from the official timeout in the third quarter, O'Neal is playing more and more difficult, the Lakers are not only overtaken by the Pacers, the difference between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, looking at this increasingly weird scene on the court, Magic Johnson's brows are almost squeezed together.

"Is Bryant conserving his energy so he can take over the game after the start of the fourth quarter? After all, he took more than 20 shots in the first half, and if he kept playing this way, his physical strength would not last long. Although Michaels is not as smart as Magic Johnson and can see everything, he only needs to look at Phil Jackson's and O'Neal's faces, and Michaels will roughly understand what the reason is, but some words cannot be said directly, so Michaels can only choose to open his eyes and say nonsense.
