"Kobe, you're going to be in trouble, do you want me to leave you on the court for the time being?"

Returning to the arena and feeling the murderous gaze from the Clippers, Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel a tingle in his scalp, Kobe really dared to argue with the opposing team.

Kobe Bryant seemed to be unaware of the hostility of the Clippers, he looked at Chu Xuan seriously, and said, "Chu, if you don't leave me on the court, I promise to hate you." ”

Although the tone was very masculine, it made Chu Xuan feel a certain resentment.

You know, he doesn't seem to limit Kobe's playing time, and in the entire first half, Kobe Bryant only rested for less than six minutes.

"Kobe, it looks like I have to keep you on the court in order for you not to hate me." Chu Xuan smiled: "If possible, I will let you stay on the court in the second half, but you have to honor the 50 points you said." ”

50 points? Kobe chuckled, he definitely wanted to score 50 points.

However, now he wants to win more than 50 points.

********

After seven battles with the Thunder, from a desperate 1:3 deficit to the final reversal, Kobe's state of mind has undergone an unprecedented transformation.

He's aware of the status quo and at the age of 36, with so many great team-mates around him, there's no reason why he shouldn't take advantage of it.

Now he understands how to fit in with the team and the individual.

Actually, to put it simply, it is a combination of James in the first 36 minutes and Kobe Bryant in the last 12 minutes.

"I feel a hunter's breath, there's blood in it, the Lakers are definitely going to be in trouble, it's up to Kobe Bryant to deal with the Lakers."

As the game began, players from both sides took the field, and the harmonious atmosphere of the scene completely disappeared, and the smell of gunsmoke began to fill the sky above the Staples Center.

Obviously, the smell of gunpowder is coming, and the real playoff battle is coming.

Both sides are the owners of this arena, but at this time, when they completely let go of their baggage and tear off the packaging of hypocrisy, the playoff-level confrontation and defense are on display.

Barnes was quite tough on Kobe's defense, he moved a lot, and when he couldn't help it, he would rather foul fiercely and let Kobe go to the free throw line than give Kobe an easy chance to score.

Bryant's scoring started to get tough, and the Clippers held the Lakers down again in the first three minutes to extend the margin to 10 points.

With a 10-point difference, the game entered a turning point.

Chu Xuan called a timeout without any hesitation, he had to make a change.

"The focus of the opposition defence is very obvious, we are blocked from the outside, and in this situation we need to increase our attack on the inside. In this game, the opponent scored too many points in the penalty area, far more than us. In the future, we can't let them score easily on the inside. ”

Judging from past games, Rivers' strategy is very obvious, that is, to focus on the inside, and then use the threat of the inside to create opportunities for the outside shooters. It's a little different from the Clippers used to play.

Griffin's offensive form was very good, he suppressed Knoll with his excellent individual ability, and teamed up with Jordan Jr. to make it difficult for Whiteside to perform well for a while.

Obviously, after the weakness of the inside, the Clippers dared to be so bold to guard against the outside players led by Kobe.

"The next players on the court, Giannis plays point guard, Kobe Bryant is the main attacker, and then Norris, Paul, Hassan, the three of you sit on the inside."

Chu Xuan arranged it this way, and the work of defending the outside players certainly fell on Noll.

After all, Knoll's flexibility, speed, and individual defense ability are far better than Whiteside's.

When the Lakers were replaced with three insiders and two outsides, the Staples Center suddenly fell into a frenzied discussion. Chu Xuan's approach was very bold, and he even sent three inside lines. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Chu Xuan actually used Antetokounmpo to play the No. 1 position.

A point guard who is nearly seven feet tall is really unprecedented.

"If Greece's brother is not able to do a good job as a point guard, then this substitution, the Lakers will definitely end in failure."

Here's the thing, and it's not about what kind of threat the three inside lines can pose to the Clippers' restricted area, but whether Antetokounmpo can successfully organize this team.

Antetokounmpo is too tall and has a tall dribble center, which is a huge flaw.

After the game started, Paul tried to break the ball, but failed several times in a row.

Antetokounmpo's possession surprised everyone in the audience, how skillful he was with the ball? And especially when he takes a step out of his two long legs, he can take the ball across the half court in a few steps.

That kind of speed like the wind is completely beyond the reach of Paul, who is only 1.83 meters tall.

Antetokounmpo has been in the limelight, but for these people on the outside, they don't know that Antetokounmpo has been working hard for an entire season under Nash's guidance.

As it turned out, the three inside lines did play a big role, and Antetokounmpo's playmaking passes were remarkable, allowing all three inside players to more or less get the opportunity to attack in the penalty area.

With the play of the three insides, the Clippers had to divert their defensive energy, and Doug Rivers had to give up for the purpose of wrapping up Kobe.

The three inside successfully relieved Kobe Bryant's pressure, giving Kobe Bryant another opportunity to attack, and he scored a series of shots outside the three-point line, causing great damage to the Clippers.

Soon, the third quarter of the game ended, and Bryant's personal score came to 38 points.

In the third quarter alone, Bryant hit three three-pointers.

I have to say that Kobe's shooting percentage is too high, in the third quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant shot 12 of 14 and only missed two balls, which has not been seen in the whole season.

Obviously, Kobe Bryant is going to be supernatural, and his state today can only be described as magical.

There is no doubt that Kobe's touch has lasted for three quarters, and the fourth quarter will definitely not disappear in an instant. So, in other words, he is going to score high in this game.

The fans are crazy, 38 points in the third quarter, even if Kobe Bryant only scores 2 points in the fourth quarter, then Kobe's personal score will exceed 40 points.

And as an opponent, the Clippers felt tricky.

Kobe's state can obviously not be stopped, and he is stuck in a very good rhythm, which is the so-called Kobe Bryant's supergod rhythm.

"He has to be stopped, he can't be allowed to score any more."

Rivers was in a mess, and he searched his head in the hope of finding a way to deal with Kobe.

You know, against Kobe, he thinks he is still very experienced, after all, the Celtics and Lakers have staged classic duels in the past few years. (To be continued.) )
