Sitting in a corner of the Staples Center, they all hope that the Pacers can use that kind of sweeping [***] momentum, easily take out the Lakers with 4-0, take the most precious O'Brien Cup, and let everyone know that the Pacers are powerful.

But if the Lakers are so easy to deal with, they are not Lakers, let alone if they have a full lineup.

The Pacers' first game in the City of Angels suffered a heavy blow, and the Lakers played very aggressively from the beginning.

They also know that this is their home turf, and it would be a shame to lose at this time!

At the beginning of the third game, the Lakers could not tie their hands on their own home court, even the most powerful Celtics in 07 did not let them raise their hands and surrender without even playing, for them, they had to win the third game.

As soon as the game began, Bynum and Gasol on the inside bombarded the Pacers' interior line.

Kobe Bryant passes the ball to Bynum, who dunks! And then Fisher also sent an assist that was the same as Kobe's action just now, to Gasol, Gasol turned around and hooked his hand, and the West Yamen also scored two points, and then Kobe Bryant scored three points in Dundee-Jones's tough defense, and Granger on the Pacers' side just hit a rebound, Kobe Bryant singled, facing Dundee-Jones's entanglement, made Dennette Jones foul, two free throws and two hits, but then Zhang Kong rushed into the inside, causing Bynum's foul, two free throws and two hits, but then Bynum seemed to be angry, Blocked the Pacers' two offenses in a row.

The Lakers took advantage of the situation to slowly pull the score away, Zhang Kong broke through the slip line and hit a layup at a critical moment, but he didn't wait for Zhang Kong to return to the defense, Kobe Bryant had already returned a two-point throw after a breakthrough, Bynum's side was still pressing Hibbert on the inside, Hibbert was so big, he was pressed by Bynum like his grandson.

Al Jefferson also suffered under the basket, and his step-back turn shot was mercilessly blocked by Gasol.

After the bench players came on, Odom, the core of the Lakers' bench, hit a shot after coming off the bench.

The Drawer's defense of Kobe Bryant was replaced by Zhang Kong to execute, but Kobe Bryant is no longer paranoid about Zhang Kong.

He no longer struggled with Zhang Kong, because he knew that if he was entangled with Zhang Kong, the other players of the Pacers would have a chance, and he would waste a lot of shooting opportunities and ball possession time, so this time he chose a double pick-and-roll.

In the face of Zhang Kong's kraft candy defense, the most effective way is to block and dismantle twice, whether it is Kobe Bryant or James, players of this level, as long as they get rid of Zhang Kong's kraft candy, even if they are facing the two of the Pacers, they will never be stunned!

Because the guy with the strongest defense of the Pacers is Zhang Kong, and the rest of the people are floating clouds! Bryant gave up his singles against Zhang Kong.

Instead, his stats rebounded, and at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Pacers by four points at home at 28-24.

Kobe Bryant scored 11 points in the first quarter of the game, which is quite eye-catching, and Zhang Kong also scored 10 points in the first quarter of the game, but there were only a pitiful 2 assists, and he could see that the Pacers players were too nervous.

Playing in the finals, it was okay on his home court, although he was also nervous for three quarters, but it was not too miserable.

And after coming to Los Angeles, in the face of the earth-shattering boos of Los Angeles fans, the Pacers players were really a little stunned.

They didn't know how to play, and this hesitation allowed the Lakers players to seize the opportunity.

The Pacers aren't playing well as a team right now, despite Jim O'Brien's constant dictates from the sidelines.

But the players on the Pacers' side are still sleepwalking on the court, and Zhang Kong's RP today is obviously not as unfavorable as the first game, and now his three-point shot is 2 of 5, although these two three-pointers are very important, but they did not appear in the key point!

In the second quarter of the game, the benches of the two teams faced off, Odom, who came off the bench, appeared in the position of the ruler for the first time, broke through and made an easy layup, and also caused Dunleavy to foul, and Gasol, who had been staying on the court, also made Murphy and Tyrus Thomas extremely adaptable, and grabbed offensive rebounds in a row.

And Murphy's protection on the rebound was not as good as expected, and there was no way to replace Granger first.

However, after Granger came on the court, he had to withstand Odom's three-point shot first, and Tyrus Thomas on the inside could only foul when the defense was unfavorable, and after a small ** of 8-2, the Lakers directly stopped the Pacers.

After 8-2, the Pacers were already a full ten points behind the opponent at 26-36, and the Pacers' problem arose.

After the timeout, the players on the Pacers' side played a major role on the defensive end, and since they don't feel good now, and they can't shoot nervously, then let the defense go, and if they don't score, they don't let others in...... Five minutes into the second quarter, Zhang Kong and Kobe Bryant's opponents in the series came on the court at the same time, and after they got on the court, Zhang Kong made a wonderful pass to Murphy, who hit a hook shot.

But Kobe Bryant played a double block again, blocked the empty and then went straight to the inside, his own throwing hit at the same time, but also caused the defensive Murphy foul, hit three points successfully, the Pacers' offense continued to miss, and Gasol scored two points on the inside layup, taking advantage of the Pacers' chaotic time, Kobe took advantage of the chaos to pass the ball to the left side of the basket, Gasol, who was already unmarked, completed a very domineering air catch, and after another wave of 16-4 offense in the second quarter, Jim O'Brien was helplessHe couldn't sit still at all now, so he could only stand up and call a timeout.

But the timeout obviously doesn't play much of a role now, at the end of the first half, the Lakers still led the Pacers by as many as 12 points at 54-42, Kobe Bryant scored 20 points at halftime, and his excellent play today is the key point for the Lakers to win, and Zhang Kong is a little helpless today, his RP is not very good, he also scored 18 points in the first half, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and the last two balls must have one in and one in not...... Not particularly on point.

scored 15 points in a row and scored a total of 15 points in the game, although it was 15 points after the game, but the former can bring confidence to other players, while the latter can only barely keep up with the rhythm of the opponent, Jim O'Brien kept asking at halftime to strengthen the rebounding defense, the Pacers gave the Lakers too many second offensive opportunities, the Lakers are not a bad team.

In such a situation, the second chance to attack is simply the same as giving away points! This is something they absolutely cannot allow.

At the beginning of the blue eye half, the Lakers continued to take advantage of the disadvantage of the Pacers' interior, hitting the Pacers and Walkers, and the offensive rebound was still one of their big killers. Kobe Bryant got consecutive free throw opportunities, Zhang Kong and Deng Tai Jones both had a foul, and then Zhang Kong entered the Lakers' restricted area in the hope of turning the situation around, but the Lakers' defensive quality was really tough when the wind was down.

There is Kobe Bryant on the offensive end, Bynum, Kobe and Artest on the defensive end, and several players who can score on the Pacers' side have made them die, Kobe personally dealt with Zhang Kong, and at the same time, someone on the inside line can come to help defend at any time.

Even if it is open, it will be difficult to break through the opponent's defense...... And Kobe Bryant here is playing at home like a fish in water!

The continuous breakthrough attracted the opponent's firepower, and Zhang Kong finally returned to the position from the opponent's double block, but Kobe Bryant passed the ball at this time, first Fisher hit a three-point shot on the outside, and then Kobe Bryant broke through and passed the ball to Bynum with a low hand, and the little shark took advantage of the situation to dunk another ball, 68-49, and the score has been stretched to 19 points...... From this point on, the Pacers' side officially entered the rhythm of collapse, although once in the first quarter, Zhang Kong hit three three-pointers in a row with the Pacers' players to play a wave of 14-0 attack**, pulling the Pacers into only eight points, but Bryant, with the help of the referee, with four consecutive free throws and a breakthrough, poured the hope of the Pacers' final life.

The Lakers finally won 108-99 at home, with a 9-point advantage, a shame! The victory over the Pacers leveled the score at 1-2.

They made a total of 51 free throws, and Bryant made 23 free throws.

Kobe Bryant scored 35 points in the game, 20 of which came from free throws, and his shooting can only be described as miserable, 1 of 7 three-point shots, which is quite harmonious, and the Lakers won this game, the Pacers made a series of mistakes because of nervous shooting, and secondly, they adjusted their offensive focus to the whole team, except for Kobe Bryant today, the Lakers did not score more than 20, Fisher scored a total of 16 points today, this old boy has 3 shots on the outside, Let the furious Zhang Kong cover two in a row, and then he will be honest! Gasol had 13 points and 10 rebounds, four of which were front rebounds.

Bynum had 12 points and 10 rebounds, five of which were frontcourt rebounds, which was the main reason the Pacers lost.

Even Odom had 12 points, one three-pointer and two frontcourt rebounds.

His backcourt rebounding protection was unfavorable, allowing the Pacers to suffer the first defeat in this crucial game! The aggregate score became 2-1.
