Billups was elbowed and bleeding profusely.

Bryant didn't react at all, with a "nothing to do with me" expression after the shot. In this case, the three referees did not know how to punish the ball, so they could only let the team doctor enter the field first.

After an initial examination, Billups was initially diagnosed with a fractured maxilla and was rushed to a local hospital in Los Angeles for examination. Billups and Hamilton have been buddies for too long, and at the Pistons he often said that Hamilton's mask was very handsome, but he also had the opportunity to wear a mask.

If the diagnosis is correct, Billups will miss the remainder of the finals.

The game was interrupted for a few minutes, did Kobe Bryant's ball happen on purpose? No one can be sure. Because Kobe Bryant didn't look in the direction of Billups after shooting, it looked like a subconscious action after shooting. But this time it was too heavy, and Billups was directly knocked out at full HP. Fortunately, Kobe Bryant is not a "ghost boy boy", and there is no King Kong horn on his elbow, otherwise Billups would not be able to save Brother Xinchun.

Kobe Bryant can and may be intentional, because the same elbow incident has happened many times, often when Kobe is blocked, such as elbowing Ginobili, Jarich, Nowitzki.

If the elbow is a physical confrontation, sometimes even if the blood is splashed, he will not be suspended, and he will not even be fouled, but Kobe Bryant has a lot of criminal records.

In 2000, Bryant was suspended for one game for elbowing Chris Charles of the Knicks. In '02, he was banned for 2 games for elbowing Reggie Miller. In '05, he was banned for 2 games for taking revenge on his surname for elbowing Mike Miller. In the 5 weeks of the 07 season, Kobe Bryant elbowed Ginobili and Jaric were banned for 2 games. The elbow to Korver was added to the first level of malicious foul because it was rumored that Bryant was heard elbowing Korver and saying, "I made you sorry for Avril ......" (When did Korver have a leg with Avril?). It's crossing, right? In '07, he also elbowed Richardson, Wallace and so on...... It was also discovered that Kobe Bryant was seen greeting Tony Jal, a Muay Thai master who performed at the All-Star Game that year, and this wouldn't be Kobe's master, right?

Billups was injured, but Hayes still controlled his emotions and pulled Wallace, who was about to rush forward to theorize, and didn't let him trouble Kobe.

D'Antoni was furious and asked for a timeout.

"This ball is absolutely accidental, and the elbow man after shooting is this guy's patent, why are you pulling me?" Wallace said.

"If you do it, it's only the lynx that will be unlucky. The Lakers players didn't move, you did it, we were justified but we were going to turn it into a loss, if you were suspended, it could lead to a change in the tide of the game, we are now leading 2-0 in total, and if we want to avenge Chauncey, we will prevent Kobe Bryant and sweep the Lakers. Let them lose and lose. Don't mess with it for the sake of the moment, we can appeal to the league after the game. As long as it is determined that Kobe Bryant did it on purpose, he will be banned if he can't run. Hayes exclaimed.

"Chuck is right, I immediately called a timeout because I was afraid that you would be too impulsive, how did the Lakers win us the only time in the regular season, you shouldn't forget it, right? I'm sure Chauncey doesn't want you to avenge him with your fists. D'Antoni said coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Win this game!" Sweep the Lakers! ”

"Sweep the Lakers!" The Bobcats players shouted together. Not only did he mess up because of Billups's fate, but his momentum became stronger!

"Rajan, Chauncey isn't here, and you're the only regular point guard on our team. You have to focus on defense, offense, use cover to break through to the inside, contain the defense, you don't need to score a lot of points, but you must prevent the Lakers from controlling the position, I believe you. D'Antoni said, pressing Rondo's shoulder.

"Understood!" Rondo entered the playoffs averaging just 15.2 minutes per game. Now it's time to be ordained.

"Chuck, you come down and rest first, if necessary, you need to play point guard." D'Antoni added: "Andries comes on and pulls to the outside. Increase the height of the offense and resist Bynum when defending. Gerrard, you have to pay attention to the help defense Kobe Bryant, don't let him be too arrogant! ”

Wallace nodded, his face gloomy.

Seeing this, D'Antoni added. "Use proper means, don't learn from Chuck to hold Bowen!"

The famous black-footed Uncle Bao on the rivers and lakes was retired after that fall. Kobe Bryant has a lot of fans, and if he falls Kobe, it's not a joke.

The game resumes. The Lakers also replaced Kobe Bryant and Gasol with Capono and Odom.

Van Gundy sat next to Hayes and whispered, "Chuck, do you have some superpowers?" Before the game, you said that your eyelids jumped with an ominous premonition, but now it has really come true, are you able to pull Wallace immediately because of this? If he starts to beat Kobe, the consequences are really unimaginable. ”

"It just so happened." Hayes sighed.

"I'll have to be careful when my eyelids are jumping in the future." Van Gundy sighed.

"Chuck, don't relax at this time, you have to be ready to play at any time, and if necessary, I want you to play a little longer." D'Antoni said from the side.

"Don't worry, I'll play the whole game. Kobe Bryant's elbow is not me, he can't win the Bobcats. Hayes said lightly.

"What if he elbows you next?" D'Antoni smiled wryly.

"As long as he dares to elbow me, he will be sent out by the doctor next." Hayes sneered. His expression was chilling.

Artest's fist Hayes easily dodged, and Kobe's fist was no exception. He doubted that his current reflexes should be very good to practice martial arts or something.

After Hayes went off, the Lakers had the upper hand, and Odom stepped up and successfully singled Bagnani in a row. Capono didn't do much on the court, just shooting three-pointers. Towards the end of the first quarter, he also hit a three-pointer.

At 33-35, the Bobcats trailed by two points to end the first quarter.

After 4 minutes in the second quarter, Lakers bench player Bleche scored 6 points in a row, and the Lakers played a wave of 8-0 small ** to extend the difference to 10 points.

The Bobcats made quick substitutions, bringing in Hayes, Wallace, who had just a four-minute break off the bench, and center Lopez. The Lakers also replaced Kobe Bryant and Gasol.

"You're going to lose this game." Bryant said as he passed by Hayes.

"Really? Didn't you hurt your elbow when you elbowed the head so hard just now? I'm really afraid that you will retire directly. It's a pity that you can't win until you beat me down. Hayes sneered.

"I hope you don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to hit Billups." Kobe Bryant said with a face.

"Whether it's intentional or not, the league will give us an explanation after this game. I hope you don't ban the game, sweeping the Lakers without you will reduce a lot of fun! Hayes said that, without looking at Kobe Bryant again, he ran to the low post and shouted to Rondo: "Pass!" ”

The Bobcats attacked, and Hayes went inside to ask for the ball. Gasol came on as a substitute centre-forward Chris Anderson to pull up high to defend Lopez, and it was Odom who defended Hayes.

Odom was under a lot of pressure, having trained with Hayes in Los Angeles and the pair went head-to-head together, with Hayes having the absolute upper hand.

Hayes received the ball and observed the situation, dribbling with his back, and such a shot appeared: Hayes singled with the ball with his back, pouted his ass and arched twice, and suddenly turned around beautifully, Odom seemed to be a little absent-minded, and he didn't understand what was going on at all, so he could only watch Hayes complete a low-handed layup and score. 37 to 45.

Jackson immediately shouted at Gasol to "change the defense inside". Let Odom defend the high post, and Gasol defend Hayes.

Odom's biggest characteristic is his versatility, which is reflected on the defensive end, that is, he can "defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position". This is no exaggeration, Odom has the height and movement of his feet, and often works wonders when defending in misposition. But it's a pity that his worst link is his confrontation ability, and his style of play is soft. Hayes is a player he's afraid to face.

The Lakers offense, and Fisher hoisted the ball to Gasol. The man who defended Gasol was still Hayes.

"Come on." Hayes shouted.

Gasol squeezed the ball with his back and turned for a jumper. Hayes is still the old tactic, pushing the waist with his left hand and blocking with his right hand. If he is asked to defend against Garnett, Randolph, Nowitzki and others, he will also use this small move.

Nowitzki himself shot backwards, and it was useless to push. Randolph had too much meat on his stomach, and pushing it didn't work. So in an interview with the media, Hayes said that the two big men who hate defense the most are Randolph and Nowitzki, and Gasol's hand is not good enough to be that way, and this shot is off again. Camby grabbed the rebound and passed to Rondo.

The Lakers quickly returned to defense. The Bobcats fell into positional warfare. This time, Hayes pulled up to the high post to get the ball, and Butler followed. Durant stepped forward to cover.

It's different from other players' screening methods. Durant just stepped in lightly, attracting Kobe Bryant and Butler to switch defenses, and immediately disassembled and ran inside. Hayes immediately knocked the ball to the ground and passed it to the middle.

Durant took three steps to catch the ball and jumped up to dunk the basketball with one hand. 39 to 45.

The Lakers attacked, and Gasol didn't ask for the ball in the low post. He felt that it was not easy to single Hayes, so he pulled up to the high post to cover Kobe.

'Hayes, I'm not going to lose to you. I'm going to defeat the Bobcat! Kobe Bryant muttered in his heart, breaking through with the ball. Pull-up jumper. Hayes jumped up to interfere, but Bryant still threw the ball into the basket. 39 to 47.

The man who defended Kobe Bryant has become Wallace. He is very strict with the defense, but if Kobe Bryant relies on blocking, he can only switch to Gasol.

'This guy can shoot anything. If he hits the ball, he's going to have to foul him. Otherwise, it's really hard to let him find his feel. Hayes thought to himself.

Rondo plays with the ball and organizes the attack. He's more playmaker than Billups and much more physical. Dribbling the ball through the half, or leaving it to Hayes to deal with, he ran like an inside line.

As soon as Hayes lowered his head, he often dribbled inside, used Lopez to cover and shake off Butler, accelerated the dribble parallel to Gasol's position, and then took two small steps and threw the ball in. 41 to 47.

Bryant attacked himself with the ball, or broke through through with cover, and hit a jumper before Hayes could make up for it. 41 to 49.

Kobe Bryant turned on the scoring mode, and Hayes also showed his offensive prowess for the first time in the Finals, using Lopez's cover to hit a pull-up jump shot on the right side. 43 to 49.

"Jordan's successor, nothing more!" Hayes laughed.

Although the two are not officially facing each other, the battle between Hayes and Kobe Bryant has begun!
