The hit in the last minute of the first half once again strengthened Kobe's confidence.

In the locker room, Nelson Sr. was a little messy: if Kobe Bryant's hand didn't come back, then his confidence would become a hole in paranoia, but if he felt back, then the second half would be ready for the bloody baptism of Kobe's projection.

In the second half, Kobe Bryant was no longer expressionless in the first half, but confident.

It started with the Lakers' possession, Fisher controlled the ball and cut to the sideline, and Bryant ran out of the open space at the wing three-point line with Odom's cover.

Lao Yu saw that there was an opportunity, and immediately passed the ball to him, and came with a pass that ran through the half.

Bryant got the ball, West also went around Odom and pounced, and the two cut almost face-to-face - West caught up, and Bryant ran forward with all his strength, just past West.

Rushing to the vacant position, Kobe Bryant jumped up as soon as he pulled back, his slender body was like a bowstring pulled out, his arms were slightly bent and his wrists flicked, and he made a wonderful stop-and-go jumper.

The ball flew out with a graceful arc and plunged headlong into the hoop under the watchful eye.

“MVP！” The Lakers fans immediately cheered, and Kobe Bryant raised his arms high, his fists clenched, and his face full of pride.

The Warriors shot back, and Chamberlain saw that the situation was not good, and he couldn't count on the outside, so he set up Bynum on the inside to ask for the ball.

Although it was only two games, Bynum had been ravaged by Chamberlain, and he felt that he had not been so tired after playing four games with the Mavericks before.

But Chamberlain worked harder, playing the playoffs so far, playing the Thunder in the first round, facing the youth Janissaries in Oklahoma, the Warriors were struggling on the outside, and he had to be a father and a mother at the same time, both scoring offense and paying for his teammates' poor defense.

The second round was even more tiring, his opponent was the second center in the West - Oden is the real second center in the West, not comparable to Dampier's self-styled parallel second center, and Auden's confrontation, Chamberlain had to come up with twelve points of spirit.

In fact, after eliminating the Suns, Chamberlain was a little overdrawn, but fortunately, he rested for a week, allowing him to get enough rest.

Chamberlain's physique is also known for being strong in the NBA, missing only two of the 82 games in a season, averaging 42 minutes per game this season, and he is a standard iron man on the inside.

Therefore, after receiving the ball again, Chamberlain did not take care of himself as before, and last year's championship allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience, for example, the championship depends on five people, and only one person is strong, so unless that person is God, it will be too difficult to win the championship.

Understanding this, Oxlade-Chamberlain held the ball and slashed inside, Gasol had to be caught from the flank, and Chamberlain passed the ball to Ibaka.

Ibaka's shot was a natural fit, but unfortunately it didn't feel good, and the ball bounced off the hoop.

Mark Jackson shook his head and said, "Z might as well come by himself, his teammates' shooting percentage is really unsatisfactory." ”

Barkley and Smith looked at each other, and the former said: "Obviously, Z is starting to encounter physical bottlenecks, and the playoffs have entered the most brutal moment so far, as long as they survive the division finals, then their bodies will adapt to this intensity of the game, and they will be much more comfortable." ”

Smith nodded approvingly and said, "Fortunately, Z is an inside player, if he is an outside player, then with his contribution to the team, I am afraid that he is tired and paralyzed by now." ”

Hearing this, Buckley was immediately upset and asked, "Man, what do you mean by that?" Fortunately, Z is the inside line? If you want to talk about me, the unfortunate thing is that Z is the inside, if he is a defender, then the current body will be better. Don't you know? Interior players have to play against taller, heavier opponents who have more turns and changes in footwork, and when defending, they have to pay for your outside line, which can cost a lot more than the outside line. ”

Smith immediately retorted: "But the outside line also has to take into account more rapid starts, stops, changes of direction, cover, and acceleration, isn't it?" In particular, you should know that many of the movements of the outside players need to be moved sideways, and unlike the "vertical" bounce of the inside players, the horizontal bounce is obviously more tiring. ”

All of a sudden, the topic of the three shifted from the game to the physical exertion of the inside and outside players, Barkley was the inside, Smith and Jackson were the outside, and naturally neither side was willing to budge.

Jackson added: "Charles, I agree with Kenny this time, you know, one of the things about the inside and outside is that even if they lose some of their athleticism as they get older, their height and weight don't change, and they can still maintain a high level of competition with their height, weight, playing awareness and court experience that they have grown with age. ”

Smith was the number of emperors, and immediately said: "Let's take it as an example, between the ages of 32 and 35, Wilt-Chamberlain, Olajuwon, O'Neill, and Garnett, they can still dominate one side. Not to mention the evergreens of Abdul-Jabbar, Marlon, and Parish. ”

"And what about the outside line, especially those hot outside lines, there are many cases of a significant reduction in the level of competition after losing athleticism, the former little beetle Hardaway, the glider Drexler, the essence of human movies Wilkinson, the current AI, Maddie, Carter, Francis, etc., including the current Kobe, we all say that his 1VS1 ability is far inferior to before, what is the reason? Because the interior players have less physical wear and tear. ”

"Your example is not accurate, it's just an extreme case, what's the use of that?" Barkley interrupted Smith as he spoke.

"You say 32-35 years old, Jordan was leading the team to build his second dynasty at that time, and Pippen was also in the top 10 of the efficiency list at that time, not to mention the old monsters like Stockton and Reggie Miller."

In fact, Barkley had a headache with Smith and played with him the number jù analysis, because he likes to explain a thing with subjective consciousness, let him record the number jù, it is better to let him lose weight.

Smith obviously knows this, and he is probably more familiar with the old partner than Mrs. Barkley, and he continued: "Okay, you think it's too extreme for me to give a few examples, then let's look at the top 10 of the all-time scoring list, there are only three outside players, Jordan, Dr. J, Irving, and Kobe; So what about the top 10 appearances? There are only three outside players: Stockton, Reggie Miller, and Payton; So what about the top 10 appearances? There are four outside players: Stockton, Reggie Miller, Payton, and Havlicek! ”

Barkley suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait, didn't we say that the internal and external players are compared in terms of physical consumption?" Why is it on the topic of physical injury again, my language is taught by the physical education teacher, don't lie to me. ”

Barkley looked full of brains, but in fact Barkley was very clever, he seized the opportunity to fight back, and said: "And we are talking about the current era, everyone knows, now the league is constantly improving the speed and rhythm of the game, you say that they are all running, and they all require ten seconds to run eighty meters, is it the inside line is harder or the outside line is harder?" ”

Smith was a little speechless, and Jackson came out to play the round court and said, "Look at the ball, watch the ball, the Lakers are starting to fight back." ”

Bryant scored six points in the first four minutes, and he started with two jumpers and a fast-break layup.

The next score was crucial, after the Warriors played a wave of offensive play, equalizing the score in the middle of the quarter, Kobe Bryant grabbed a backcourt rebound, attacked a dragon, rushed into the restricted area and scored a layup.

This is also the reason why Jackson said that 'the Lakers began to fight back', after Chamberlain made frequent waves on the inside, making Bynum and Gasol miserable, and he kept passing the ball in the end, Ibaka felt that he was not feeling good, so he covered his teammates and created a lot of opportunities for his teammates.

Bryant's highlight of the quarter came with just over five minutes to go, when Chamberlain had an offensive opportunity on the inside, Gasol was led out of the box by Ibaka, and Chamberlain faced only Bynum.

For Chamberlain, facing Bynum was like having no defenders in front of him, and he turned his feet nimbly, and his body swayed from side to side under the basket like a nimble butterfly. Bynum was almost stunned, and then Chamberlain jumped and dunked, and it was clear that this was going to be a big dunk.

However, things did not happen as expected.

Just as Chamberlain was about to dunk, Kobe flew up from behind him and slapped the ball out of the restricted area with one palm!

It's a big hat, and the face of Chamberlain is gone, and for a moment the Lakers fans dominate the arena with cheers.

In the constant entanglement, the two teams played the third quarter, and the Warriors trailed by two points at 84-86.

In the last quarter, the Warriors' ball possession, Chamberlain was very iron-blooded on the inside, Gasol, Odom and Bynum all thought he was going to play alone to equalize the score, so they stepped forward to unfold a three-man bag, 360 degrees without dead ends to block Chamberlain.

As a result, Chamberlain first took a step towards the high post, then turned and cut back into the basket, and Billups threw the ball to the hoop with a flick of his hand.

With a bang, Chamberlain rode Bynum and hung Odom to smash the ball into the hoop!

This violent dunk won the crazy screams of the fans, and the cries of 'MVP' resounded through the arena, and the Warriors fans screamed especially vigorously, as if to avenge the screams of the Lakers fans when Kobe Bryant blocked Chamberlain.

Chamberlain stepped up to the free-throw line again and hit a free throw to give the Warriors an 87-86 lead.

If it was a previous game, it would definitely be Kobe Bryant who stepped up and used the score to pull the score away.

But in this game, Kobe Bryant changed to a different way, and he used assists to help the team chase points.

Just like the Lakers' focus on defending Chamberlain, the Warriors' defensive focus is also on Kobe, but after the Black Mamba held the ball, he passed the ball to Gasol, who ran back into the restricted area.

The Spanish men's basketball captain was very flexible, he caught the ball under the basket and then went to the basket in less than a second, which is amazingly fast.

Half a minute later, the same shot appeared on Odom, and it was the same person who passed the ball to them - Kobe!

Old Nelson finally changed his face, and he shouted to Hill and Jackson on the court: "Bag Kobe, don't let him get the ball, keep up with him for me, stick to him!" ”

Hill and Jackson also understood that they had to cut off Kobe's passing lane, and the two did the same, Hill pestered Kobe Bryant and Jackson kept roaming on the wing, and whenever someone from the Lakers ran out of position, he would get stuck early.

All of a sudden, the Warriors' pressing caused the Lakers a huge problem, seeing this, Kobe Bryant's handsome face showed a cold murderous aura, and he simply controlled the ball and attacked.

In the face of Hill's veteran defense, Kobe Bryant first dribbled forward on the left side, and Hill lowered his body center of gravity and leaned forward, quickly moving sideways to follow Kobe's side.

At this point, Bryant first dribbled to the right and then changed direction from behind, and in the process, his body kept pressing forward, forcing Hill to step back to defend.

When Hill stepped back, Kobe Bryant put away the ball and stepped back, stepped back and made a jumper, and hit!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides strengthened the intensity of the competition on the basis of fighting bayonets, and it became a situation where the opposite side slashed each other.

But Bryant's wonderful cooperation with Gasol in the second half changed the trend of the game.

With 5 minutes and 46 seconds left in the quarter, Gasol had a cooperation with Kobe, Gasol cut inside to receive a pass and scored a layup, and also caused the opponent to foul and hit a free throw.

Only a little more than a minute later, the same offensive routine was Gasol's layup, which caused Xiaosi to foul and hit the free throw again......
