The sudden clash brought the game to a temporary halt, and the managers of both sides began to rearrange the game on the sidelines, but of course, the more important task was that both Phil and Doug needed to enlighten the players' mentality to avoid subsequent conflicts.

Ben Wallace always seemed to want to say something, but Jackson arranged for him for a while before he finally fell silent.

After Kevin Garnett was sent off, the feelings of Lakers fans were obviously a little intense, after all, in this conflict, although Garnett provoked the trouble first, if he was sent off, it should not be a one-sided person who was sent off the court.

The home fans felt that this was unfair and began to deliberately boo the referee.

"The atmosphere at the scene was a bit bad, and this clash obviously made an originally intense game lose some of its color, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant is still there, and the battle between him and Wu Di will still go on."

In terms of the significance of this game, it is mainly the battle between Kobe Bryant and Wu Di, so even if Garnett is missing, it is just a little less colorful.

When the conflict occurred, although Kobe Bryant also quickly stepped forward to help, he was extremely calm from beginning to end, obviously, he had no intention of stepping forward to help fight.

In this case, it can only make people feel that Kobe Bryant is an extremely calm guy, and he keeps a clear head.

"Obviously, in Kobe's mind, winning this key game is obviously the most important thing."

This view was soon confirmed......

The game restarted, because the turmoil caused by the previous fight had subsided a little, after all, this focus confrontation was still going on.

Wu Di did not play immediately. Collins put Ellis on the bench.

The game starts on the field. Wu Di's face was full of helplessness. He was communicating with Corinth.

"Doug, really, I don't have a problem. I just wanted to fight back, I'm calm now and I'm in good shape......"

Collins also seemed a little worried, but after Wu Di finished speaking, he chose to believe.

After nodding, Collins patted Wu Di on the shoulder and said, "You rest for a while." Wait for you to play, let's see how the opponent is playing. ”

When Wu Di heard this, he didn't say more, obviously, he is not a coach, and all he can do must be obedient.

Wu Di sat on the sidelines to rest a little surprised, after all, this is a year-of-a-kind focus game that the world is paying attention to, you know, Lakers vs Raptors, there will only be two regular seasons in a season.

Apparently. No one wants Wu Di to stay on the field like this.

As for Kobe, during the period when Wu Di was off the court. Obviously extremely ruthless, he showed his side of the scoring maniac, that is, tearing the Raptors' outside blockade again and again, using various scoring methods to score.

Originally, when Garnett was there, Kobe Bryant needed to pay attention to maintaining the balance of shots between superstars.

However, at this time, Garnett was sent off, and Kobe Bryant was completely free of any pressure, after all, Big Ben did not have any offensive power, and Peja was completely an off-ball offensive player...... Therefore, it can be said that even if Bryant is not willing to attack too much, it will not work.

As the basketball was planted in the basket again and again, Bryant's points quickly accumulated, and by the time Collins called a timeout, he had already scored 14 points.

Bryant's bootstrapped wave helped the Lakers tie the score at 27-29, giving the Lakers a two-point lead.

Because the first quarter was less than clock, Collins called this timeout mainly to stop the team's decline, so Wu Di was sent to the court.

After Wu Di came on the court, Kobe's interest was obviously strong, but to his regret, Wu Di didn't seem to have the intention of fighting alone with him.

I have to say that after Wu Di came on the court, he did bring a lot of improvement to the Raptors' offense and defense, and more importantly, he was extremely calm, ignoring the boos of the fans and the provocation of some Lakers players on the scene.

Wu Di spent the rest of the first quarter shooting and scoring more with the help of his teammates' cover, and judging from the course of the game, his shooting touch was very good.

Wu Di contributed two three-pointers after coming on the court, and finally helped the Raptors steal the lead.

In fact, because of the previous conflict, the smell of gunpowder was very strong in the game, and the physical confrontation of the players was very intensive, and there was no shortage of pushing and trash talk, which can be seen in the number of fouls and free throws in the game.

After a short break, the two sides started the second quarter with a score of 35:32.

As soon as Kobe Bryant saw Wu Di, he immediately expressed his contempt.

"Wu, if your style of play can be half as tough as when you fought just now, he will just cower and hide behind his teammates."

When Wu Di heard this, he knew it in his heart. Obviously, Kobe Bryant desperately wants to be able to be one-on-one with him, which is why he is so excited and impatient.

"What does it mean to be tough? Dominate the team like you do, right? ”

Wu Di smiled lightly, with a playful look on his face.

Bryant was angry at Wu Di's pretense, and after taking a deep breath to force himself to calm down, Bryant made a low hoarse voice in his throat.

"Come and face my defense, you can't score, so you don't dare to face it."

Feeling the toughness and confidence between Kobe's words, Wu Di couldn't help but feel full of fighting spirit in his heart.

"I think I can satisfy you as you wish, but you're ready to be abused."

Kobe Bryant smiled disdainfully and shot back without hesitation: "I hope you have this ability." ”

Wu Di didn't say much, just waited for Delong to pass the ball to him.

In fact, for Wu Di, he and Kobe Bryant have never been at peace with each other, and the two will always have-for-tat situations.

And this one is nothing more than that.

While Bryant was talking to Wu Di, DeLong was already advancing with the ball.

When Wu Di fell into the hands of Wu Di, the fans at the scene were extremely excited, they hated Wu Di enough now, and naturally hoped that he could be deflated under Kobe's defense.

"Kobe Bryant and Wu Di one-on-one?"

Barkley was slightly surprised and excited, as it was from the first quarter of the game. Wu Di had no intention of fighting alone with Kobe Bryant at all. And now. It seems that he has changed his mind.

"I don't think Wu Di will let people block him anymore, the seriousness on his face conveys his will to fight."

In the hot arena, on a huge field, Wu Di and Kobe Bryant have become the focus of the world.

Wu Di held the ball behind his head in one hand, and saw him lean over slightly to test it, but Kobe Bryant didn't move.

Knock knock~

The basketball hit the ground, and Wu Di relied on the advantage of his big hand and long arm to make a reverse crotch change, which surprised him a little. Bryant's reflexive defense almost touched his possession, which caught him by surprise.

In fact, Wu Di also understands that this is Kobe's ability, after all, he is a frequent visitor to the best defensive team, which is enough to prove that his defensive ability should not be underestimated.

While Wu Di was cautious in his heart, there was no pause in the movements of his hands.

The atmosphere of the scene became more and more hot with the entangled figures of the two people.

Judging from the situation on the field, it was difficult to tell the winner for a while. What makes fans always make regretful voices is that Kobe Bryant almost touched Wu Di's possession several times.

……

Bryant could feel the ease in Wu Di. This made the fighting spirit in his heart even stronger.

However, his prediction always seemed to be a little slower than Wu Di's movements......

Just when Kobe Bryant's heart was slightly impatient. Wu Di's movements suddenly fastened, and the whole person shook in front of him, and then rushed to the side of Kobe's body.

Such a scene provoked an urgent shout from the scene.

However, if that noise can stop the opponent from scoring, I don't think every home team will lose on their home turf.

Wu Di directly tore Kobe's defense, which made all witnesses feel slightly surprised, after all, everyone knows Kobe's difficulty in defense.

Ben Wallace was as alert as a cheetah when he saw Wu Di break through to the inside line, and he moved his steps, ready to jump at any time.

Wu Di naturally saw Ben Wallace, even if the opponent was a winner of multiple Best Defensive Players, Wu Di did not have the slightest fear in his heart.

As he strode out, Wu Di's footsteps suddenly stagnated, and at the same time, his body arched slightly, and his hands were already holding the basketball.

"Damn, he jumped. Ben, stop him. ”

The fans didn't care if Ben Wallace could hear it or not, but they still chanted nervously.

However, Ben Wallace jumped into the air in an instant at the moment when Wu Di Teng approached the basket.

What is surprising is that Wu Di did not mean to make a move at all, but bumped into Ben Wallace hard.

A muffled sound rang in his ears, and the pain transmitted from Wu Di's nerves made him understand the power of Ben Wallace.

"Is this guy made of steel?"

Wu Di clenched his teeth, and his hands holding the basketball became even harder.

For Ben Wallace, he didn't expect Wu Di to directly confront him in the air, because in the previous years when the two of them fought in the east, Ben Wallace had never seen Wu Di fight like this.

Slightly surprised, Ben Wallace still relied on his natural defensive sense, stretched out his round and thick arms like a woman's waist, and slammed them towards the basketball in Wu Di's hand.

"Wow~"

The fans didn't have time to sigh, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were extremely close in the air.

Many people's first reaction is that Wu Di is afraid that he is going to eat hot pot.

However, the surprising results occurred......

Wu Di's body in the air suddenly thrust, and at the same time, his arms swung left and right, maintaining a backward posture to avoid Ben Wallace, and then came to a wipe to score.

"Beautiful, Wu Di scored a goal with his strength this time, completely showing his physical element. Being able to confront Ben in the air and complete the goal, Wu Di is really indescribably good. ”

In fact, Wu Di's goals are often the tricks of players with good physique, who can rely on their strong bodies and slight stagnation in the air to stop the momentum with the help of defenders and then score.

And now that Wu Di has done this, he is still facing Ben Wallace, which is really surprising.

"Ben's defense is so good, and it's disgusting that this guy gave it his way."

A wave of complaints rose in the hearts of the fans, and it was clear that their expectations had been disappointed once again.

Barkley laughed out loud in the commentary box: "The change of direction under the crotch during the forward rush, the combination of technique and body in the air against a strong inside line, Wu Di is really good now. His every move reminds me of Michael, who has been able to do as well as Michael in terms of the combination of basketball skills and body. ”

Under some rhetoric, Barkley did not forget to sigh: "This is his fifth season, it's terrifying, his talent, his progress, will make many people ashamed." ”

on the field.

Kobe Bryant's face was a little ugly, and Wu Di actually completed such a goal in a heads-up with him, which really made him feel embarrassed.

Wu Di was also a little cautious in his heart after seeing Kobe's expression, because he knew Kobe's character, obviously, in the next game, Kobe Bryant would definitely find a field.

As for Ben Wallace, who was scored by him on the head, he was also visibly excited.

Wu Di knew in his heart that these guys were obviously going to compete with him.

……

Because after Wu Di ate Kobe Bryant alone, the scene of the game was obviously much more popular.

Kobe Bryant increased the number of times he faced Wu Di head-to-head, which made fans feel excited.

For Wu Di, he felt a strong desire to compete, and he began to increase his shots. The second quarter of the game was destined to be quite good-looking, especially in the second half, Wu Di and Kobe Bryant once scored, which made people extremely excited.

However, Kobe's shooting is not as good as Wu Di's, and now Wu Di's hand is hot, it is obviously more difficult for Kobe to let go of him than to ascend to the sky.

So, in the second half, Kobe Bryant simply turned defense into offense and put all his energy on offense.

Although Wu Di's defense has improved rapidly, he still has little confidence in defending against players like Kobe, but his several successful defenses still make people look at him impressively.

When Wu Di began to maintain a steady firepower output, the Raptors' side could be said to be extremely active.

Coupled with Kevin Garnett's exit, the Lakers were completely unable to resist the Raptors' indiscriminate bombardment, so this focus game still allowed Wu Di to achieve a win-win situation.

The reason why it is said to be a win-win situation is mainly because of Wu Di's performance in this game.

Post-match press conference.

Wu Di was extremely indifferent to the reporter's interview.

"Wu, this is the third time you've scored 60+ in Staples, and you know, in the entire history of the NBA, there have only been 4 times in this situation."

In this game, Wu Di played in the fourth quarter and contributed 7 points, 16 points, 20 points, and 22 points in a single quarter, which is a season high of 65 points.

Hearing this, Wu Di chuckled and said: "I just played hard, and to be able to play like this against this team full of history, I believe it is an honor, it can prove that I am excellent." ”

For Wu Di's self-confidence, the reporters just smiled kindly, obviously Wu Di has the capital to say this.

"Wu, what do you think about the conflict with Kevin?"

Wu Di said: "He said that there are still three people who can beat me. I think I'm still going to have what it takes, so we sparred. ”

"But you took him down, and you were more of a belt champion at the time."

The group of reporters burst into laughter. (To be continued......)
