At halftime, the Zen master didn't blame Kobe too much, and he didn't even say anything serious, because he knew that Kobe's character would never forgive him for his poor performance in the first half. Of course, he guessed right, and Bryant stubbornly considered his performance in the first two quarters to be a disgrace, and he was determined to change that maddening situation in the second half.

Seeing Kobe Bryant sitting in his position clenching his fists and clenching his teeth, the Zen master nodded slightly, although Kobe's personality is not very pleasing, but this is also the fundamental reason why he can quickly grow into a top star in just a few years. Of course, he also has a very strong talent, but his personality is the most crucial factor that determines him to get to where he is today.

After giving everyone some advice, the Zen master asked the players to do their own things, which is the way he has been managing the team, it seems that there is some inaction, but the effect is still very good. Zen Master has a good understanding of philosophy, so this is the reason why Chinese fans call him Zen Master, and the most important thing for Lakers players now is to recover their strength, calm their minds, don't take the 12-point gap at the end of the first half to heart, and focus on every round of the second half.

What the Zen master didn't expect was that at the beginning of the third quarter, the 76ers' offense was like a tidal wave, and this time they were desperate to kill the basket, even after Reed got the ball on 4-of-6 three-point shots in the first half, he kept rushing inside. This was undoubtedly what Brown told him at halftime, because O'Neal only had two fouls in the first half, which was quite rare in previous games, so he wanted to get O'Neal to carry as many fouls as possible.

Brown's adjustment was effective, and soon O'Neal received a foul for defending Iverson less than three minutes into the third quarter, but at the same time, the 76ers' outside shooting also dropped more than a notch, Lewis's three-point shot was very accurate, but Grant's defense was still in place, and he was not like Reed who could force a shot in front of the opponent, but fortunately, several guys under the impact basket had a good shooting percentage, which continued to maintain the lead in the score.

Seeing that the point difference was about to go to 20 points, Kobe Bryant suddenly broke out, in fact, it can't be considered sudden, he has been constantly trying to find his touch before, but the continuous iron makes his teammates feel miserable, but now he seems to have found his touch in the iron, and several mid-range shots hit the basket. And Kobe Bryant is obviously getting more and more confident, his shot point is getting farther and farther away from the basket, and more importantly, there is still no one to stop his offense.

Snow and Reed couldn't do anything with Kobe before, but at that time, Kobe's shooting percentage was very bad, and even if he couldn't prevent it, there was nothing to lose. However, it's different now, Kobe Bryant continued to score points to help the Lakers chase points frantically, not only performed well on the offensive end, but also was not ambiguous on the defensive end, and even Reed, who had always dared to shoot in front of him, was caught off guard and ate a block, and finally this block caused the Lakers' conversion offense, and Kobe Bryant assisted Fox with a long pass across the court to dunk it.

The expression on Brown's face was uncertain, and he didn't know whether he should continue to believe in the three-guard lineup or compromise the game and switch to Bale to defend Kobe. After thinking about it carefully, Brown gritted his teeth and continued to let Snow and the other three defenders stay on the court, but replaced Lewis with Bell, and began to play a very strange big and small lineup.

In fact, one big and four small is not a wonder, but many teams only use a wing to replace an interior line, but the 76ers have already put three guards on the court before, and replacing Lewis, the big forward, with Bell's wing, undoubtedly greatly reduces the average height of the lineup on the court, obviously Brown is extremely reluctant to give up the super offensive power of the three guards, and hopes to limit Kobe's scoring, so he even does not hesitate to let Reed or Snow go to Grant on the defensive end.

Brown's decision was almost predictable, at least Chang Wei guessed his thoughts in advance, but he didn't guess that Brown would replace Lewis with Bale, because he believed that the old coach would not be so crazy, but Brown went crazy, making Chang Wei, who was sitting next to him, stunned: This lineup is really special...... Wonderful! How can there be such a big and four small?

But Bale only made Kobe Bryant a little more restrained when he played, and there was no obvious decline in the shooting rate, the only good news was that Grant's scoring ability was not strong, and he only passed the ball out after a little bit of fun when he faced Snow and Reed, after all, his positioning was not a scorer, but a transit station, and he was really uncomfortable with giving him empty space. That's why Brown is relieved to let Lewis go, and his defense can be ignored anyway.

Chang Wei secretly sighed that Kobe Bryant deserves to be the top scorer in the league, although his performance in the first half was rubbish, but in fact, his scoring ability cannot be ignored at any time. Even if Kobe Bryant played iron throughout the game and didn't score a point, he was still the most threatening point in the game, or at least one of the most threatening.

The feeling of Bale, who was on the court against Kobe, was clearer, in the previous games, he had always been responsible for defending Kobe, and there were times when he couldn't prevent it, but there was never a time when he felt like this that he couldn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes. Brown is also very helpless, even the number one outside gate Bell can't limit Kobe, is there anyone else on the team who can do it?

Under Kobe's leadership, the Lakers played a wave of scoring climaxes, a wave of 10-2 and then narrowed the gap to single digits, and now the third quarter is only a little more than halfway through. The sharpness of the Lakers' offense surprised Brown, he didn't expect Kobe Bryant to lead his teammates to score even though he was crazy about scoring, this is not his style, but such Kobe is more terrifying.

In the face of the Lakers' offense, Brown can only ask the players to attack with all their strength and compete with their opponents in scoring. The previous team's lead cannot be wasted, and seeing that it is only a little bit away from the O'Brien Cup, how can it choose to give up at this time? The players on the court of the 76ers also thought the same, although the Lakers' offense overwhelmed them a little, but each of them was ruthless, even if they were tired to death, they had to die on the court, and persevered until the last moment of this game.
