When the final whistle blew, the arena erupted in jubilation, with 76ers fans recklessly celebrating their team's victory over the mighty Lakers, but the 76ers quickly burrowed into the tunnel as if they were the losers of the game. The reason is very simple, the 76ers have already held an intra-team meeting before the Finals start, and everyone knows that winning one or two games against the Lakers is not a big deal, even if it is 3-0, you must be careful of the opponent's counterattack.

So they simply celebrated and hurried back to the locker room to change clothes and go back to rest. For them, it's just the first win, there's nothing to brag about, and the next game is the most important thing. The 76ers' home record this season is very good, and the league's No. 1 regular season record can fully maximize this advantage, and they don't want to be directly erased by the opponent's home-court advantage.

The 76ers are waiting for the battle, and the Lakers are even more prepared for a shame, they didn't expect that they would lose the first game of the Finals. Of course, the 76ers have a better regular season record than them, but they always think they are better than their opponents, and losing is completely unacceptable to them, even if it is the Finals.

And the most unacceptable thing for the whole team is naturally Kobe. Although he is only the second leader of the team now, his competitiveness is completely at the level of the team boss, not to mention that he himself did not play well in the first game. However, he didn't dare to say these words in the locker room, but silently buried them in his heart, ready to find his way back on the field in the second game.

A lot of people say that Kobe Bryant is a paranoid, and that's exactly right, because his hunger for victory has gone berserk. Now he hasn't shown such a trait when he was with O'Neal, and when he leads the team alone in the future, the strict requirements for his teammates will be unacceptable to many people, but that's his character.

If he weren't paranoid, he wouldn't be Kobe Bryant, and he wouldn't be recognized as the greatest scoring guard since Jordan. So the first game was a shame for him, and since it was a shame, he had to pay it back immediately. For this reason, he even went to the Zen master privately, hoping that he would be the team's main attacker in the second game, but the Zen master did not agree, in his opinion, O'Neal is closer to the basket, has a higher shooting percentage, and is more dominant, and choosing the big shark is the best decision.

Kobe Bryant was not discouraged, he didn't have any hope, he just came to ask routinely, even if the Zen master didn't agree, he would go his own way on the field. Kobe Bryant has always considered himself the savior of the team, and of course it is the same now, in his opinion, the team must rely on his own offense if it wants to win the second game, and he has made up his mind to go it alone before the game starts, if the effect is not good, well...... Let's see, passing is a late option for him.

After a day's rest, the two teams played Game 2 of the Finals on the 76ers' home court. This time Brown didn't send the twin towers, some tactics will not have a good effect after being used once, and the 76ers' twin towers have been swept away by O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's blocking in the second half of the first game, so it's better to switch back to the regular starter at this time. Brown didn't change the starter, and neither did Zen Master, and although Horry didn't perform well in the last game, Zen Master didn't plan to put him in the starting lineup, and Grant helped the OK combination much more than Horry.

According to the Zen master's arrangement before the game, the Lakers' offense still had to open up the situation on the inside at the beginning, plus the 76ers did not sacrifice the twin towers in this game, and giving the ball to O'Neal was the first choice of every Lakers player. But there are people who don't take his arrangement seriously. With Mutombo going around the front defense, it was difficult for Fisher to give the ball to the inside at the first time, and he had no choice but to pass to Kobe Bryant, who was standing at the top of the arc, but the latter did not intend to give up the ball again.

This time it was Bell who was responsible for defending Kobe, and when he saw that Kobe Bryant was stepping on both feet outside the three-point line, he habitually conceded half a step to prevent Kobe from using continuous feints to complete the breakthrough. But what he was waiting for was not Kobe's feint, but ...... Shooting!

Kobe Bryant had no intention of breaking through at all, and directly rose up on the spot and put on a very standard shooting posture, which startled Bale and quickly pounced to prepare for interference. Although he was fast, but in fact it was too late, Kobe's right hand plucked gracefully, as if playing the most beautiful piano music in the world, and the basketball obediently left his hand, drew a wonderful arc in mid-air, and then plunged into the basket in front of everyone's attention!

Seeing the basketball fly into the hoop, Bryant did not make his usual celebrations, but strode back to his own half to prepare for defense. Looking at Kobe's distant back, Bell stood in place for a long time before shaking his head in frustration. He didn't expect Kobe Bryant to pull out a jump shot directly outside the three-point line, which completely caught him off guard, and more importantly, this three-point shot actually went in, is this guy going to turn on the three-point shooting mode in this game?

The 76ers' offense was very team, Mutombo made a cover for Iverson, who burst into the interior and passed the ball to the follow-up Bale, Bell picked up Fox and then moved the ball to the corner, Lewis dribbled through Grant's defense, went to the baseline and made a small throw, and the basketball also fell into the basket with a "bang".

However, in retrospect, Kobe Bryant is a simple and rude three-point pull, although there is no tactical coordination, but people can score, what can you do with him? The Zen master on the sidelines was pale, but he didn't plan to stand up and correct Kobe's style of play, he was angry that Kobe did not follow his instructions and held the ball alone at the beginning of the game, but since Kobe Bryant can score, he is inconvenient to correct, as long as you can win on the basketball court, it is king, and no one will care what tactics you use.

Now the most depressed player on the court must be Bale, he was complacent in the last game because he defended Kobe, but now Kobe Bryant used unreasonable shooting to tell him what a star is. But Bale doesn't plan to raise his hand to surrender, it seems that Kobe Bryant will be the Lakers' scoring arrow in this game, if he is guarded, will it make the opponent's offense more difficult?
