Since losing the 2004 Finals and disbanding the Lakers F4, the Lakers have become Kobe Bryant's one-man team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In the seasons that O'Neal has just left, Kobe Bryant has fallen into a career slump, not because of his individual performances, but because the team's record has disappointed everyone. If Kobe Bryant, who teamed up with O'Neal to win the championship before, is a god, then he has become a demon when he leads the team alone, and miraculous scoring feasts such as 62 points in the third quarter and 81 points in a single game all occurred during this period. It wasn't until 2008 that the Lakers acquired Gasol through a trade that they played their peak performance since the disbandment of the "OK group".

Even now, Kobe Bryant is the one who speaks to the Lakers, and sometimes Phil's speech doesn't work for him. But on the other hand, as long as the team is in trouble in the game, Kobe Bryant will always stand up as soon as possible, even if his shooting touch was not good before, he will still stubbornly take over the team's offense, just like now. The rest of the Lakers' players are under tremendous pressure, in fact, not only the inside, but also Fisher in the No. 1 position and Artest in the No. 3 position also feel a lot of pressure when facing Bayless and Ye Feng, and it is not surprising that they can't play at a normal level, so the only thing the Lakers can rely on is Kobe.

To cheer up the Los Angeles number one star, Lakers fans who came to the Staples Center to watch the game stood up and began their usual "show". Of course, this is not unique to Kobe, local fans in Los Angeles have always been very picky, but in this game, Kobe Bryant's single-handedly crazy scoring performance conquered every Lakers fan, and the stands rang out with a deafening "MVP!" MVP！ "Almost every Lakers fan seems to have exhausted all their strength, and just wants to use their voice to inject more power into the Lakers' No. 24.

The fourth quarter was still the same plot, the small lineup on the Trail Blazers' side ran very crazy, and even Aldridge hit straight arm jumpers in a row from the high post, so it can be said that everyone on the team played their own level; The Lakers were completely suppressed, except for Kobe, as for their luxurious interior line, only the function of fighting for rebounds remained. In fact, there is a reason why everyone thinks that Gasol's style of play is softer, just look at them fighting for rebounds, although they play for the same team, but Gasol can't even grab Odom, which is a bit too much.

In fact, Kobe's shooting rate is not very high, but although Odom did not score much in this game, he grabbed a lot of rebounds, and the fight for offensive rebounds also made the Trail Blazers players sigh. His offensive rebounds undoubtedly provided Bryant with more offensive rounds and shots, which didn't make the Lakers' offense look too ugly. Originally, Phil wanted to replace Gasol with Bynum, but when he saw Bynum's resentful look on the bench, he thought that he had already had five individual fouls and one technical foul, so he could only continue to let Gasol serve as the center of the lineup.

Bryant's focus on the offensive end led to another result, which was that Roy was freed up and he was finally able to break through with impunity. However, in order to make Kobe unable to distract his teammates to help defend his teammates, he still made Batum the third point of possession after Ye Feng and Bayless most of the time, after all, although Odom can defend it, he is still inferior to Batum in terms of speed, so that Roy, as a shooter who runs and catches the ball and shoots with empty hands, can get plenty of space on the outside, and also contains Kobe on the outside.

Any team that thinks Kobe Bryant's defense is mediocre will be punished, and with his stubborn attitude and unnatural physicality, coupled with a strong desire to win, Kobe Bryant has always been a very important outside defender for the Lakers. Plus this season, he's been named to the All-Defensive First Team eight times, the All-Defensive Second Team twice, and he's been named to the All-Defensive Team for the last seven seasons, which is already an all-time honor. In the face of such a top-tier perimeter defender, Roy made the right choice and would rather let Kobe pester himself than let him cause trouble for his teammates.

However, Roy is obviously overthinking, Kobe Bryant has been struggling to support himself in the case of offense and defense, although it is impossible to completely give up defense with his character, but the intensity has dropped is an indisputable fact. Coupled with the fact that Aldridge pulled high up from time to time to make room for others to break through, Roy did get a lot of easy shots with his cover. In this kind of physical exertion, whether it is squeezing or bypassing the screener is a very devastating thing, Kobe Bryant still gritted his teeth and followed Roy, but he was half a beat slower to bypass the screen, which gave Roy a chance. Everyone knows that Roy's long-range shooting ability is very strong, and although he has suffered injuries this season, it has only affected his impact, and there is no problem with shooting at all.

Looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, Kobe Bryant was a little desperate, the point difference had been stretched to 10 points by the opponent, which was a very fatal thing when there were five minutes left before the end of the game, not to say how big the point difference was, but it had an immeasurable negative impact on the team's morale. But Kobe Bryant quickly eliminated the weakness in his heart, his eyes became firm again, and he continued to reach out to his teammates for the ball. Even the Trail Blazers players who are opponents have developed a heartfelt respect for Kobe, this feeling that everyone does not want to experience when they are alone against the whole world, but as long as someone can do it, they will be pushed to the altar by everyone, even if he will lose the game in the end.

Kobe's persistence didn't pay off in the end, because he alone couldn't close the difference, and other players were trying to contribute to the team, but most importantly, they couldn't contribute points, which kept Kobe Bryant in a lonely situation. Although Bryant scored 42 points, five rebounds and five assists, only Gasol and Odom scored double-doubles on the team except for him, and neither of them scored more than 15 points. On the other hand, the Trailblazers, under the leadership of Ye Feng and Miller, had seven players in double figures, and three of them scored 20+, and the dispersion of firepower was rare, which also allowed them to successfully win an away game and get a good start to the Western Conference finals.

So basketball is ultimately a five-person sport, and if one person can save the world in a low-level game, then such a thing will become rare in a high-level game, because everyone needs teammates who are fighting alongside them, and one person can never be used as a five-person game.
