Bryant's resurgence has taken the excitement of this local derby to new heights, and the enthusiasm of the fans has been ignited.

A few rounds later, Bryant held the ball again and made a solo stance.

Staples, the cheers of the fans burst into cheers, cheering for Kobe Bryant.

Opposite Kobe, Matt Barnes was slightly hunched with a serious face, staring at Kobe's movements seriously, and the whole person was like a cheetah, ready to go.

Barnes is a tough player, having spent two years with the Lakers in '10 to '12 and doing quite well. The relationship with Kobe Bryant is also very good, but as an opponent at this time, Barnes will not have any compassion at all. After all, on the basketball court, kindness to the opponent is cruelty to oneself.

Even though Bryant suffered a devastating Achilles tendon injury, he would still give his all to defend.

Judging by Barnes's dictionary of life, it's a sign of respect for Kobe.

Barnes is known for his tough defensive style, while his nimble footwork combined with his excellent physical condition allows him to have a lot of range. And his experience on the court is crucial, and he is often the one you can rely on when you need to step up defensively.

However, this official face-to-face confrontation with Kobe Bryant ......

Bryant simply dribbled the ball and kept a safe distance from Barnes.

His Achilles tendon has just recovered, but it can't be compared to before. He knew that his explosiveness had been greatly reduced, and that the first step had been much slower to start.

If you want to break through the opponent directly, it is simply impossible.

However, Kobe's strength lies in his skill and understanding and use of offensive means, and sometimes he can completely ignore his body.

I saw Kobe Bryant use the cross-step to shake off Barnes, and then a step-back jumper was completed.

The basketball fell into the bag, and Staples instantly turned into a sea of joy.

"Kobe, Kobe, Kobe......"

The crazy fans shouted loudly, and Kobe's goal made him feel excited.

Chu Xuan, who was in the middle of the crowd, couldn't help but applaud, he felt that Kobe's state was back, which made him see the hope of winning.

After a round.

The Lakers successfully defended and launched a quick offense.

Nash, Kobe, and Meeks formed a V-shape and advanced rapidly through the halfcourt.

Nash has a good grip on the court, and his passing experience allows him to quickly find Bryant, who has just fallen to the right three-point line. With his hands up and down, Bryant hit his first three-pointer of the game.

On the timer, the clock froze, and this attack took just over 6 seconds.

With fast advancement, rapid shots, and wild offense, the Lakers successfully played a classic 7-second run.

Chu Xuan smiled and couldn't help but look at the bench on the sidelines, D'Antoni was looking happy and couldn't stop nodding. Obviously, such an attack is what he is most satisfied with.

And for the Lakers fans on the scene, being able to witness Kobe Bryant's consecutive goals is the most unexpected thing.

This is known as the star effect, and sometimes the outcome of a game is relatively unimportant.

A single mid-range shot from Barnes and an open three-pointer.

Bryant's sudden performance didn't go unnoticed enough.

Why? Because in the future, the Clippers' defense has not changed in any way.

Obviously, the Clippers, including Rivers, thought that Kobe Bryant only occasionally found some sense and did not pose much of a threat.

However, Kobe Bryant, who took the next step, slapped his face with his actions.

The Clippers' defense is still using Barnes to put pressure on Kobe Bryant.

And Barnes's defensive strategy is also very simple, and he does not use a stalker-style close defense.

However, this relaxation made Barnes regret it immensely.

In the middle of the third quarter, all three of Bryant's three shots were made from the outside. And he made two shots, and these six points gave the Lakers an absolute lead in one fell swoop.

And when he hit the third three-pointer in the first quarter, Bryant waved his arms upwards to signal that the cheers on the scene were more enthusiastic.

And his domineering appearance seems to tell everyone that even if Kobe's Achilles tendon has been ruptured, his energy is still not to be underestimated.

******

"I have to say, the Clippers played a little bit big today. Their players are completely sleepwalking, they can't score in offense, and they defend in good and bad times, which is really bad. The Lakers already have a 12-point lead, and for the Clippers, this final quarter adjustment is very crucial. I think the Clippers can replace Jamal, and his shooting in this game can completely smash the hoop. Kenny Smith, with a headset, was quite upset. I just don't know if he's angry at the Clippers or sad about the upcoming happy hot dogs.

James Worthy laughed, this was the first game he played live as a commentator, and the Lakers played so well, he really had no reason to be unhappy.

"Jamal deserves to be replaced, but you have to accept the fact that there's nothing wrong with trusting Kobe. Under his leadership, the Lakers scored 31 points in the quarter. I must say that it is an irreparable mistake to despise the Black Mamba at any time. ”

Kenny Smith's eyelids drooped slightly, but he was speechless to retort. Bryant was 6-of-6 from the field in the first quarter, including three three-pointers, and scored 15 points in a single quarter.

Maybe this score is very average for a star of his level, but considering that this is Kobe Bryant's first performance since his comeback, it can only be described as magical and amazing.

After all, Bryant injured his Achilles tendon, which is an injury that can end an athlete's career.

But Kobe Bryant miraculously survived, and this comeback was perfect.

*******

Sitting on the sidelines, Chu Xuan looked at the field from afar.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Lakers sent Thackeray and Jordan Hill on the inside, while at the small forward position, it was Ibanks, and the two guards were Steve Blake and Xavier Henry.

In this lineup, except for Blake who has not yet played, the performance of the other four is remarkable.

Especially Thackeray and Jordan Hill, the performance of this game can only be described as excellent.

In terms of bench depth on both sides, the Lakers are inferior to the Clippers.

But in this arena, it's all about play. Strength is not absolute, and playing well is often the key.

After the opening, Thackeray continued his fiery performance in the first three quarters, grabbing rebounds, blocks, and scoring inside, and he seemed to be starting to delight.

In the backcourt of the Lakers, Blake hit two three-pointers before being substituted.

Under such a powerful bench performance, Chu Xuan felt that the Lakers, who had blossomed more, encountered the Clippers who were not in good shape, and it was a little difficult to win.
