"Kobe, face the defense, hit a two-point shot!"

"Kobe Bryant, continuous dribbling at the top of the arc, three-point shot! Kobe Bryant! ”

"Layup, Kobe Bryant's layup, score against defense!"

In the second quarter, the Staples Center kept thinking of the DJ's high-pitched "Kobe Bryant~" sound.

When the whole team is not very good at attacking.

The 38-year-old Bryant used his exquisite skills to score non-stop.

And it's all difficult to score, without any tactics.

It's a one-on-one with the ball, and Klay Thompson is eaten raw.

In the second half of the second quarter, Bryant scored 13 points.

But the audience looked up at the scoreboard: 61:45.

The gap of 16 points is clearly in front of you.

Bryant's scoring streak didn't turn the tide around.

It's just that the Warriors' lead doesn't continue to expand.

At halftime, the Warriors returned to the locker room with a 16-point advantage.

They played a great attack in the first half.

The Lakers look unusually bulky in front of the Warriors.

Hibbert and Randolph's twin-tower lineup didn't have any positive effect.

On the contrary, as the series deepens.

Hibbert's shortcomings in moving slowly are magnified.

The playoffs are all about playing against each other.

Once the other party finds out that you have a certain vulnerability.

will keep staring at this loophole.

Hit the position where you can't put the hole.

If you can't make it up, use this loophole to kill you.

In slow-paced races.

Hibbert can also play to some advantages.

His frontcourt rebounds are also good.

Pair with Wang Shuang and Randolph.

The threat under the basket is huge.

Occasionally, I can pull out and throw two mid-range shots.

Squatting under the basket on the defensive end is a deterrent.

But once the warriors picked up speed, the passing began to play with power.

There began to be sharp counterattacks.

Hibbert is a pure burden.

On Hibbert's current state and role.

It's a miracle that the first three games can hold up.

Comparatively speaking, Randolph is better.

The defense is like that anyway.

But his offense in the low post is an unobtainable pillar for the Lakers.

It's just that Randolph wasn't very efficient tonight.

Without Wang Shuang's feeding, it became difficult for him to eat in the low position.

In short, the Lakers' three-high interior line was contained.

Only Kobe Bryant on the outside is struggling to support.

Intermission.

Lakers locker room.

The atmosphere was a bit solemn.

The Lakers can play like this.

The task has long been exceeded.

But no one wants to lose the series.

Everyone knows the importance of this one.

If there is a draw, the next game will be to go to Oracle to fight Tianwang Mountain.

Curry's comeback, the Lakers will have a very tough time.

If you can win this one, go to Golden State with 3:1.

The pressure is all on the Warriors' side.

Even if he loses, he will return to Staples in Game 6.

The Lakers will have a chance to finish the Warriors at home.

I understand the reason, but the difference of 16 points at halftime.

It was like a mountain pressing on top of my head, and I felt that it was difficult to turn over.

Scott didn't even know what to say to encourage the players.

The Lakers players are already doing a great job.

In fact, he was ready to lose this game.

At this point, the silence was broken.

"Kobe, do you remember the game that was reversed in Stamp in 2008?"

The person who spoke was Wang Shuang.

He was asking Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was stunned and said, "Of course, of course I remember, I will remember it until I die." ”

2008, Finals Game 4.

At that time, the Lakers were 1-2 behind.

At the Stamp Center, the Lakers were on fire in the first half.

At one point, the difference between the two sides was stretched to 24 points.

As a result, the Celtics played super defensively in the second half.

reversed the 24-point difference in one fell swoop.

As soon as the Lakers lose this game, the general trend is gone.

1:3 behind, even if the fifth game is barely won.

The sixth went to Boston, but was still massacred.

This 24-point reversal is an eternal pain in Kobe's heart.

Of course, he will remember it until he dies.

"How did they do it? Why didn't you get points at that time? Why? ”

"Their defense is too good, the Bostonians have super defense."

"Didn't they defend well in the first half? Did their people change in one intermission? If they can do it, why can't you do it, why can't the Lakers do it? With 24 points, we are only 16 points behind! We had 24 minutes to get back what we had lost, little by little. Like this season, we used to stand on the precipice with single-digit wins and stay away from the playoffs. Now that we're in the playoffs, we have a chance to push the best team of all time into the thro. In this game, we were in the same situation, we messed up in the first half, but we still had half a minute to go. It's like we messed up the first half of the season and the second half of the season. Of course, I played so badly in the first half that I didn't play like that anymore. ”

Wang Shuang is a person who rarely talks at length in the dressing room.

On weekdays, only on the field he will trash talk.

But in private, he is never a big mouth when he gets along with his teammates.

He's not going to talk like those black people talk rap.

It's also hard to give white elitist speeches like Pat Riley and Larry Bird.

But this time, Wang Shuang was not silent.

He was first ashamed of his poor first-half performance.

Iguodala's marking made him very uncomfortable.

He didn't do his job well.

But he knew he had to pull himself together.

If you want to be the boss of the team.

In such headwinds, it is necessary to be able to withstand pressure output.

Rather than icing on the cake when the wind is down.

Bryant did it in the second quarter.

At the age of 38, he still has the ability to explode in a single quarter in the playoffs.

But he could only break out in one quarter, and he couldn't break out in the whole game.

It's time for Wang Shuang to stand up.

Wang Shuang's speech was abrupt and powerful, which boosted the morale of the whole team.

The originally dull and gloomy atmosphere was swept away.

Everyone didn't say much, just hugged in a circle in the players' tunnel.

Cheer each other on, cheer each other on, and you're bound to win this victory!

"Hello everyone, this is the NBA arena column in Tencent's live broadcast room. Today is Game 4 for the Lakers vs. the Warriors. At the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Lakers by as many as 16 points. At present, the big score between the two sides is 1:2, and it is the Warriors who are behind. ”

In the domestic live broadcast room.

Wang Meng and Yang Yi commented on the progress of the game.

"But judging from the situation in the first half, it will be more difficult for the Lakers to turn the tables around."

"It's really difficult, it's kind of like Game 2, once the Warriors take the lead, the Lakers are in a rout. It is mainly caused by the difference in strength between the two sides. ”

"The Lakers were ahead, and the Warriors were chasing the points quickly, although they didn't catch up in the end. The Warriors are ahead, and the Lakers can't catch up, it's difficult. ”

"It's still a Curry. In the next game, Curry is going to come back, and the two sides are going to play Tianwang Mountain. ”

Wang Meng decided that the two sides would fight Tianwang Mountain 2:2.

On the forum, most fans are also in tune.

thinks that the Lakers are done with this game, and the series is even more "glorious despite defeat".

The phrase "glory despite defeat" is actually a shame in competitive sports.

A kind of "second place is the biggest failure" shame.

The Lakers' starters made a change in the second half.

Hibbert was pinned to the bench by Scott.

Replaced with Green, and played one big and four small.

At the same time, Scott also made a bigger adjustment.

It was to change Wang Shuang to the position of center forward.
