Chapter 224: Drama Mamba (9600 Words Chapter)
In the NBA, emotions have always been a double-edged sword, with some players playing better after being provoked.
Just like a bunch of budding new members who provoked Michael Jordan back then, most of the time the god would have the last laugh in the end, and said extremely arrogantly:
"Don't provoke the Black Jesus..."
As a big fan of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant naturally has to imitate his idol, for example, in most games, he doesn't bother to talk trash with opposing players at all, and after encountering provocations, most of them increase physical confrontations and shots.
At Kobe's peak, he was at the peak of his offensive and defensive ends, and he could beat almost all the outside players in the league, but unfortunately, the current Kobe Bryant is about to turn 33 years old, and Li Ze, who is opposite him, is not an ordinary player, and the MVP has no parallel goods!
The first quarter of the game was about to enter the official timeout, and the head coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines frowned at this time.
Kobe Bryant took 5 shots in the first half of the game, although he hit two mid-range, but the number of shots was still too high, and the big man turned around and ran on the court, which was completely different from the game strategy he had formulated before the game...
This time the Lakers attacked, Gasol finally received the pass in the low post, Fisher is still relatively clear-headed, of course he knows where the team's advantage is.
After receiving the ball in the low position on the left, Gasol released the ball with his right hand, pretended to go up the line to break through, immediately closed the ball and turned around, using his long arm to hook the left hand of the basket to the bottom left of the basket.
"Shh
The Russian fans at the scene still think that it is better to let Kobe continue to attack, and everyone prefers to watch Kobe play iron.
In the case of 1-on-1 single defense, Ibaka still suffers a little, and in the case of the Lakers' strong interior play, the Thunder's defense does not have a very good way.
"Just control the foul! We need frontcourt rebounds! ”
Li Ze came to the baseline to serve, and by the way, he encouraged Ibaka, so that the opponent kept his head clear, and in the case of Kobe Bryant being defended by Li Ze, defending the twin towers is the first priority of the Thunder team.
“OKC! OKC! OKC! ”
In the rhythmic cheering, the turtle slowly dribbled through the halfcourt, noticed that the Lakers did not change their defensive strategy, and still defended half-markedly, and immediately made a tactical gesture.
Both Durant and Li Ze interspersed from the baseline and then used Perkins and Ibaka to cover and catch the ball.
Durant successfully received the ball at the left elbow of the free throw line, and the turtle immediately moved to the left bottom corner, taking away Fisher's defense, and Li Ze came to the right wing outside the three-point line.
After the three threats, Durant chose to accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, but Artest kept a tight right hand, and Bynum also began to shrink inside.
After Durant dribbled the ball into the wall, he did not reluctantly attack, but took advantage of the situation to protect the ball and began to move to the right wing, still a simple hand-to-hand tactic on the outside.
Kobe Bryant, who was outside the three-point line, couldn't directly pull Li Ze, seeing Li Ze suddenly accelerating, he could only hurry up, Li Ze suddenly paused when he moved to the top of the arc, his body shook to the right, and he made a fake action of catching the ball by running back.
At this time, Kobe's defense was forced to stop, and before he had time to adjust his body's center of gravity, he saw Li Ze start again and move quickly to the top of the arc.
scolded in his heart, and then immediately chased the defense desperately, and Li Ze, who came to the top of the arc, easily completed the hand-to-hand hand with Durant, Artest naturally noticed that Kobe's defense was not in place, so he immediately changed the defense, and Kobe had to follow Durant to the left wing outside the three-point line.
After receiving the ball, Li Ze released the ball with his left hand, moved his left shoulder back, made a half-turn feint, and at the same time moved the center of gravity of his body backwards, and quickly stepped with his right foot.
The sudden sudden stop made Attest, who was not moving fast, completely numb, and before he even had time to pull the defense, Li Ze easily passed him in one step.
Bynum, who was on the inside, had just returned to the bottom left of the basket to continue to defend Perkins, he didn't expect Artest's defense to be like paper paste, and he broke it with a stab, and saw Li Ze take off directly to the restricted area, and subconsciously jumped to block.
But Bynum, who was in the air, soon discovered that due to insufficient jumping, he couldn't reach Li Ze's right hand to catch the ball, but only hit Li Ze's right shoulder...
In the exclamation of the fans at the scene, Li Ze and Bynum were not affected at all after the aerial confrontation, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, condescendingly, and smashed the ball into the basket!
"Boom!"
"Squeak..."
“Kayce Gets inside! OH! Slam duck! That's good! ”
In the huge cheers of the fans at the scene, on the ESPN commentary seat, Mike Brin, who has been in a state of excitement since the opening, shouted passionately for Li Ze's dunk.
"Oh!"
After landing on the ground, Li Ze first screamed, then beat his chest angrily, and posed for the camera under the basket, while Bynum on the side was a little annoyed, and received two fouls in less than half a quarter...
Coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines was also speechless, and you pulled the opponent down when he fouled, but he was still scored 2 points, and Li Ze got a chance to add a penalty.
As soon as Li Ze stood on the free throw line, the Russian fans at the scene began to cheer loudly again:
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
Adjust his breathing, score the ball steadily, and then the game entered the official timeout, Kobe Bryant was still pulling his face, seeing that Mamba seemed to be getting more and more angry, Li Ze chuckled at the other party, and then slowly walked to the bench of the Thunder team.
"The Lakers should slow down their offensive tempo, and at the same time, the perimeter defense must be more aggressive and try to give the ball to the interior, oh! Bynum has already picked up two fouls, which is not good news for the Lakers. ”
Taking advantage of the timeout, Jeff Van Gundy began to criticize the Lakers' defensive state again, but he also saved Kobe Bryant's face and did not point out too many things on the outside.
"It may also be a good choice to take Odom in advance, so that the Lakers can also open up the offensive space on the court, but the Thunder are in such a good state in this game, this kind of game rhythm is exactly what they like, Kayce has not missed a shot yet!"
Mark Jackson has been paying attention to the situation of the Thunder, and unlike his pre-game analysis, the Lakers seem to have not had enough intensity on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends to play the suffocating defense he expected...
On the ESPN commentary bench, the three began to analyze again, but when they came back from the timeout, the Lakers' performance once again left them completely speechless.
Maybe it was the shouts of the MVP that stimulated Kobe Bryant again, and when the timeout came back, the Lakers' lineup became one big and four small, the offensive space was released, and Kobe Bryant began to ask for the ball frequently again, singled Li Ze.
After the cover came out, Kobe Bryant came to the left elbow of the free throw line to receive the ball, Li Ze lowered his body center of gravity, and at the same time stared at Kobe's movements, after two tentative steps, Kobe Bryant quickly released the ball with his right hand, and took the right side of the cross step to dribble and break through.
Li Ze easily predicted Kobe's movements, and while sliding backwards, his left hand continued to step forward to interfere, just approaching the paint area, Kobe Bryant pulled the ball back with his right hand, his shoulder shook confusingly, and then his body twisted, and he immediately threw a backward jumper.
The moment Kobe Bryant shot, he found that the situation was wrong, Li Ze didn't shake at all, his set of beautiful feints didn't seem to work on Li Ze, in order to avoid being blocked, Kobe Bryant was forced to adjust the arc.
"Bang!" Still striking iron.
Perkins under the basket firmly stuck Gasol, Ibaka easily protected the backcourt rebound, and the Thunder quickly launched a transition offense amid the cheers of the fans at the scene.
The game of running up made the Lakers a little uncomfortable, and the turtle rushed across the half court to find that the Lakers' defensive position had not been completed, and the right hand crotch changed to accelerate with the ball in his left hand.
Fisher was once again passed by one step... After the turtle entered the penalty area, he jumped with both feet, dodged Gasol's block in the air, and picked up the basket with his left hand.
After the goal, the turtle was very excited, and after making a strange scream, he slowly retreated into the half, Kobe Bryant didn't say a word, this ball was indeed his problem, but Kobe Bryant, who had the spirit of Mamba, didn't care about hitting the iron, he still firmly believed that his next shot would hit.
In the remaining minutes, Kobe Bryant began to catch the ball non-stop, always looking for an opportunity to teach Li Ze a lesson, but in the face of Kobe's offense, Li Ze became more and more excited the more he defended, and put most of his energy into the defensive end.
Kobe Bryant seemed to be restrained by Li Ze, and then kept playing iron, and when the pace of the game became faster and faster, Turtle and Durant were like fish in water.
At 22:28, the Thunder easily led by six points.
Li Ze was 3-of-4 in the single quarter, 1-of-1 from three-point range, and 1-of-1 from the free-throw line, easily scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
And Kobe, who shot wildly, was 3 of 9 in a single quarter, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws, and only scored 7 points...
"In comparison, I feel that the Grizzlies seem to be stronger, Kobe Bryant's state is not right!"
During the interval, the media reporters of the Celestial Empire were discussing Kobe's state, which was a bit too iron...
"In the second half of the quarter, Kobe Bryant didn't seem to score in the sports battle, Li Ze is really amazing! The single defense limited Kobe. ”
On the Lakers' bench, Coach Phil Jackson directly pressed Kobe Bryant to the bench during the rotation phase, and if he continued to play like this, the game would really be gone...
"Matt, try to limit Lee on the defensive end! We're going to play harder! ”
Coach Phil Jackson doesn't put much emphasis on tactical play, and in his opinion, falling behind is just a lack of defensive intensity.
In the rotation stage, due to Bynum's two fouls, the Lakers took Gasol early, and the outside line was mainly defensive, Steve Blake and Odom controlled the tempo, and Matt Barnes and Artest took turns against Li Ze.
The Thunder's side is still in the normal rotation, with Li Ze and Dai Kun Cook partnering in the backcourt, Sofrosa and Ibaka on the front line, and Nick Collison at center.
"Kayce, play a few more times with the No. 5 block, try to continue to speed up the game, Serge, pay attention to the number of fouls."
Coach Brooks was pleased with the team's performance, and the trio played very efficiently in the first quarter, and he believes that the team has a good chance of winning at this pace.
The most important thing is that Ibaka on the inside only received 1 foul, and Perkins was the same, no foul trouble, survived the second quarter, and could let go in the second half.
Hearing the head coach's words, Li Ze immediately nodded to show that he understood that in the lead, he would most likely still play more than 6 minutes, and at this time remember to shoot more and strive for a stick to the Lakers to the ground.
After the start of the second quarter of the game, the Thunder took the lead in attacking, Collison served from the bottom line, and followed Li Ze through the half court slowly, still in a simple "V" position.
Daqueen Cook was in the left corner, Sofrosa was in the bottom right corner, Ibaka was elbowed to the left of the free-throw line, and Collison was on the right side of the free-throw line immediately after half-time.
With the inside line cleared, Gasol also had to follow up, and Li Ze saw Matt Barnes looking at him viciously from outside the three-point line, and he was suddenly a little speechless in his heart:
"You outside defenders, you can always come up with some new tricks, no matter how fierce your expression is, it's useless..."
“OKC! OKC! OKC! ”
In the rhythmic cheering, Li Ze dribbled under the crotch continuously outside the three-point line, and Matt Barnes immediately chose to stick to the defense and did not give Li Ze a chance to find rhythm.
Seeing that the opponent was sticking up, his right hand suddenly made two extremely fast back dribbles in a row, and then lowered his body's center of gravity, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand, Matt Barnes noticed that Collisson's block had been raised, so he slid to the right with all his strength to try to squeeze past the screen.
But at the moment of sliding to the right, Matt Barnes saw Li Ze suddenly turn sharply, and subconsciously wanted to adjust his center of gravity to continue to defend, but due to inertia, he crashed directly into Collison, and Li Ze easily got rid of the defense.
Gasol is numb, and he said that he would strengthen the outside defense? As a last resort, he could only raise his hands high again and make a big delay on Li Ze, but Li Ze on the three-point line pretended to push the ball with his left hand and changed direction, and his body also shook to the right, which made Gasol's defense subconsciously shift to the right.
Successfully deceived the other party, Li Ze's left hand was in and out instantly, quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
The Russian city fans at the scene only saw Li Ze's body in the march to the right and left, and with two snaps, Gasol was broken through, and noticed that Li Ze rushed into the penalty area, and everyone cheered loudly.
At this time, there was no one under the basket, and after the double jump, Li Ze flattened the basket with his head, grabbed the ball with his left hand, stretched his body in the air, stayed in the air for a short time, easily stepped down and changed hands, and then used his right hand to press the ball into the basket fiercely!
"Boom!"
Crotch dunk success!
“OH!!”
"God! Am I in the Slam Dunk Contest? Crazy dunk, incredible performance! ”
On the ESPN commentary seat, Mike Brin, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson first screamed in unison, and then called out to God!
The wonderful dunk completely ignited the atmosphere of the Ford Center Arena, and the fans at the scene shouted excitedly.
Especially the front-row fans under the basketball hoop, after seeing Li Ze complete the dunk, they looked paralyzed, posing cool at the camera, and almost rushed up to hug Li Ze to celebrate together...
Li Ze saw everyone's reaction, and smiled in his heart, sure enough, fans like stars who pretend to be cool with facial paralysis.
On the bench of the Thunder team, the turtles and Durant waved towels wildly with the atmosphere group, while on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant still pulled his face, but the small flame in his heart began to rush up again, making such a fancy dunk in the playoffs, and the provocative intention was very obvious...
Matt Barnes saw Li Ze's back to defense, and felt a little embarrassed, this round was definitely his defensive mistake, which led to a series of subsequent consequences, and raised his hand to his teammates, indicating that it was his problem.
The Lakers who rotate the lineup, the main attacker on the offensive end has become Odom, this lineup is not good at three-point shooting, so after the outside line continues to pass the ball, Odom receives the ball, uses Gasol's blocking, and accelerates the breakthrough with his left hand.
The Thunder naturally also made a targeted defense against the left-handed magician, and Ibaka was ready to stick to the defense immediately, and the same height made Ibaka not suffer on the defensive end.
Odom was also prepared, and after rushing up in three steps, he faked a real pass and gave the ball to Gasol under the basket, who received the ball, held it high, and scored easily with two points.
"Shh
Every time Gasol scores, the Russian City fans on the scene will erupt into huge boos, after all, in the playoffs last year, Gasol almost single-handedly blew up the Thunder's interior line, which made the Russian City fans already have some psychological shadows.
Quickly sent the baseline ball, Li Ze quickly rushed across the halfcourt, and then directly outside the three-point line on the right wing to block and dismantle, Matt Barnes also ruthlessly this time, although he failed to squeeze through the cover at the first time, but with the help of Gasol's big delay, he finally successfully chased the defense and continued to interfere on the right side of Li Ze.
Matt Barnes wanted to cooperate with Gasol to let Li Ze hurry up with the ball, but when Li Ze, who had been protecting the ball, came to the top of the arc on the three-point line, his left wrist flicked, and the ball passed directly through Gasol's crotch.
After taking a big step with his right hand and dribbling, Li Ze took off directly, ignoring Steve Blake, who was assisting in the defense under the basket, and after a big circle of the ball in the air, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and slammed the ball into the basket!
"Boom!" The windmill burst the buckle!
Seeing Li Ze pounding his chest and roaring under the basket, Matt Barnes was numb, how to prevent this? Bag clips are useless?
Phil Jackson on the sidelines was a little helpless when he saw Matt Barnes's melancholy look, he had come up with the best defensive lineup, but the effect was not very good, and after looking at Kobe Bryant with a calm look, Phil Jackson felt that he should wait a few more minutes.
"The Lakers have had some problems with the pick-and-roll, and like we mentioned before, the defenders have to bite Kayce, disrupt his dribbling rhythm, and add some fouls if necessary!"
Mark Jackson heard Jeff Van Gundy say something different:
"I think the Lakers' perimeter defense has done their best, and we can't ask role players to limit MVPs, so the Lakers should get Kobe!"
While the two were talking, the Lakers scored two more points through Gasol, and Ibaka lost his temper in the middle of the free throw line after blocking the pick-and-roll.
The Thunder were not affected, quickly sending out the baseline ball, Li Ze made an offensive gesture, and then quickly passed through the half.
This time, all four of the Thunder were on the line, with Ibaka and Collison still on the left and right elbows, while Daquin Cook and Sofrosa stood on the left and right wings outside the three-point line.
After half time, he immediately gave the ball to Soflosa, who was on the right wing, and then immediately received the ball outside the three-point line, and at the moment of receiving the ball, he released the ball with his right hand.
After dribbling a big step, Li Ze pushed the ball with his right hand and changed direction, and then changed direction with his left hand at a very fast crotch, and at the same time turned his hips, he quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, and accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his right hand.
This time, Matt Barnes did not completely lose his defensive position, but Li Ze's continuous shaking easily stuck half of the opponent's body, and while cutting in on the flank, on the other side, Daqinn Cook also moved quickly from the left wing to the bottom corner under the cover of Ibaka.
Because Li Ze's breakthrough speed was too fast, Gasol's assistance defense was just in place, and he found that the ball in Li Ze's hand was gone.
And Daequine Cook, who had just gotten rid of Steve Brett's defense and came to the bottom left corner, received a pass from Li Ze, adjusted it slightly, and shot an open three-point jumper.
"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.
"The wonderful Hammer action tactic, Kayce's continuous breakaways, forced the Lakers to focus their defensive attention on him, and Cook on the weak side simply covered and got the opportunity to shoot in the open position to see if the Lakers could respond on the outside."
Jeff Van Gundy briefly interpreted the tactical coordination of the Thunder team, and by the way, blew the role of Li Ze.
In the next few minutes, the Lakers did not mess up because of the Thunder's offense, all the offense was rushed inside, and the Thunder's side combined with sudden shots, Li Ze's aggressiveness was full, and Matt Barnes was almost pressed to the ground and rubbed.
By the time it came to the official timeout, the Thunder had extended the margin to nine points, which made everyone on the bench smile, it was too easy!
And Li Ze was 4 of 5 in the first half of the game, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists efficiently, and Coach Brooks also replaced Li Ze in advance, after all, according to the plan, the main lineup will play the second half.
Coach Phil Jackson took Fisher and Bynum after a timeout, while Bryant also rotated on the court.
In the second half of the game, Durant and the Turtle played well, taking turns to attack the Lakers' interior, and Kobe Bryant, who was resting in the half quarter, seemed to have withdrawn from the Mamba state, played very reasonably, and also hit a three-point whistle in the second quarter.
At 48:54, the Thunder entered the second half with a six-point lead.
Coach Phil Jackson was very happy with the second half of the second quarter, what a championship coach! The Mamba with the head iron can also be tamed by him, and the reasonable Kobe Bryant returns!
At half-time, on the side of the media gallery, everyone was also talking about the performance of the two teams.
"Kobe Bryant scored 12 points in 4 of 12 in the half, this performance is really not as good as Li Ze, in the end, he is still old."
"7 of 9 in the half, 16 points, to be honest, I don't even feel like Li Ze has any strength, it is estimated that it will break out in the second half, the first half of the two sides can be regarded as a trial, the Lakers have also withstood the foul crisis, and the next game is estimated to be better!"
When Director Zhang heard the words of the two, he immediately said happily:
"MVP is not a blind choice, Li Ze is the No. 1 scoring guard in the NBA league this season, look at it, it will definitely break out in the second half!"
In the third quarter of the game, the two sides once again took the starting lineup, the Thunder team took the lead in attacking, Li Ze could clearly feel that the referee seemed to relax the scale of the penalty, in the three-second area, Kobe Bryant began to pull the covert upper hand, such an action happened under the nose of the linesman, but the other party did not mean to blow the penalty.
"Blowing penalties in favor of the underdog, increasing the spectacle of the game, the NBA league whistle is really nothing new..."
Li Ze complained inwardly, and then stealthily crashed into Kobe, and at the same time exerted force at his feet, with the help of Perkins' cover, he quickly came to the left blocking area position and turned his back to ask for the ball.
The speed of the turtle's passing was extremely fast, Kobe's defensive rotation was just in place, Li Ze had successfully received the ball, leaned back hard, his shoulders shook confusingly, and then turned on the spot with his left foot as the axis, and took a big stride with his right foot, pretending to break through with his right hand.
Kobe's defensive center of gravity just moved to the right, Li Ze quickly retracted his feet, raised his head to aim at the basket, and the realistic feints made Kobe subconsciously pounce, and then immediately realized that something was wrong.
Before he had time to adjust the center of gravity of the defense, he saw Li Ze quickly release the ball with his right hand, break through in a step, and after dribbling, he made a slightly backward stop-and-go jump shot in the paint area.
"Huh!" The two-pointer was easily scored.
Hearing the huge cheers from the scene, Kobe Bryant was very unhappy, and then Li Ze's frivolous voice came from his ears:
"Someone seems to have said that it is easy to restrain me? I've got 18 points, man, how many points have you gotten so far? ”
The little flame in Kobe's heart rushed up, but he didn't pay attention to Li Ze, just ran to the front court expressionlessly, Li Ze of course wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase at this time, and when he was retreating, he came to Kobe Bryant's side again, and said in a low voice:
"It's okay, I'll help you remember that, you used 12 shots and got 12 points, which is really good scoring efficiency!"
Kobe Bryant used his death gaze, but Li Ze was indifferent, anger surged in his heart, and he instantly turned on the Mamba mode again, and his heart was ruthless:
"This rookie must know the fate of provoking the Black Mamba!"
The two of them began to tear up in the left blocking area again, in order to prevent Kobe from receiving the ball easily, Li Ze continued to use the half-around front defense, which made Fisher a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Kobe had excellent ability in the card position, turned around dexterously, and stuck Li Ze behind him, which received Fisher's pass.
After the three threats, Kobe Bryant found that Li Ze was not shaking at all, so he put the ball directly with his right hand, hit it twice, difficult, close to the paint area, and then pulled the ball back with his right hand, quickly turned around and closed the ball, adjusted the arc, and threw a backward jumper.
"Huh!" Two-point goal!
After the goal, Kobe Bryant didn't have time to pretend to be X, and Li Ze's smiling voice rang in his ears again:
"14 points! We're four points away from catching up with me..."
After speaking, without waiting for Kobe Bryant's reaction, Li Ze quickly ran to the front court, and such a move made Kobe's heart fire again.
When the Thunder attacked, the three of Turtle, Li Ze, and Durant began to circle the figure-eight and continuously make hand-to-hand passes away from the three-point line, while Ibaka and Perkins stood in the two elbow areas.
The three of them went around in a circle, and finally Li Ze received a hand-handed pass from the turtle at the top of the arc, suddenly lowered the center of gravity of his body, his left hand quickly changed direction under his crotch, and while his body shook to the right, his left foot strode forward, and then his right hand changed direction under his crotch again, and his left hand accelerated with all his strength.
shook twice in a row, successfully jamming Kobe Bryant's half of his body, and Li Ze crushed Kobe's defense to the free throw line.
Then he immediately protected the ball with his back, slammed Kobe twice, took his right foot as the axis, quickly pulled the ball backwards with his left hand, shook Kobe Bryant slightly, and then twisted his body, exerted force under his feet, ignored Kobe's block, and threw a mid-distance backward jumper.
“Twenty!”
The moment he shot, Li Ze directly spit out a word.
"Huh!" Steady hit from mid-range!
Such an arrogant performance completely angered Kobe, he is a person who has scored 81 points, and the rookie also wants to score with him?
"Wow! It's pretty much the same technical move, which is really pleasing to the eye, and I love this set of matchups, but our MVP seems to be trash-talking all the time, and it seems that he managed to off Kobe! ”
On ESPN's commentary bench, Mike Brin got more and more excited, and it had to be interesting to have such a matchup, and Coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines was very helpless, thinking that if Kobe Bryant calmed down for half a quarter, the situation would improve, but he didn't expect the game to become like this again in the third quarter...
Kobe, who entered the Mamba mode again, only had the basket in his eyes, and Li Ze kept chattering in his ear to help him score, Kobe Bryant began to ask for the ball frantically and kept shooting.
"Good shot, 16 points!"
"Bad shot selection, 0 points!"
"It's useless to increase the arc, it's still 0 points!"
"I finally got 18 points, and it's still a 4-point gap..."
Unlike Kobe, Li Ze focused more on the defensive end, and when there was still a quarter of the game, he was going to consume Kobe's physical energy at this time.
Amid the exclamations at Ford Center, the third quarter of the game ended quickly.
Kobe Bryant in the third quarter completely entered the Mamba mode, making 4 of 10 in a single quarter, including 2 of 4 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, and slashed 14 points and 3 rebounds.
And Li Ze didn't shoot too much, 3 of 5 in a single quarter, only scored 6 points, the Thunder had many options on the offensive end, Durant played well in this quarter, 10 points in a single quarter, and Turtle Turtle also scored 6 points.
Therefore, after the third quarter, the two sides fought 76:82, and the difference was still 6 points...
At the intermission, on the Lakers' bench, Kobe Bryant was gasping for air, and then began to replenish water tons by ton, 10 shots in a single quarter, and every offense had to be entangled with Li Ze, Black Mamba was tired enough, after all, he was going to be 33 years old, and his physical fitness was going downhill.
On the Thunder team's side, Durant looked at Li Ze, whose face did not change, and almost turned into lemon essence again, what kind of physical fitness is this? In the case of Kobe Bryant's single defense, he didn't even pant for breath, beasts...
"Kayce, is it okay?"
Coach Brooks asked with a concerned face, and when there was 1 minute 02 seconds left in the third quarter of the game, he replaced Li Ze, and when he played almost the third quarter and always defended Kobe Bryant, he couldn't help but worry about the physical condition of Kim's thighs.
"It's going to be okay to play the fourth quarter, don't worry, coach!"
Li Ze immediately stated that this is the effect of the golden badge, with various bonuses that reduce physical consumption, so that Li Ze can output at full strength, and he wants to end the Mamba in the 4th quarter.
When the excited turtle heard Li Ze's words, he immediately began to applaud passionately, encouraging everyone to continue to strengthen their defense and strive to play a wave in the fourth quarter.
After the start of the 4th quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant, who was completely up, came up to attack, faced Li Ze's defense, broke through after receiving the ball, and then changed direction twice in a row, and shot a mid-range pull-up jump shot.
"Bang!" Hit a piece of iron.
The rebound was directly accepted by Ibaka, and the Lakers immediately retreated, but Li Ze was overjoyed, and Kobe Bryant's physical fitness really couldn't stand it.
Turtle Turtle rushed across the half court and made tactical gestures, Li Ze and Durant began to intersperse the baseline between the two, Li Ze quickly left the baseline from right to left, and then with the help of Ibaka's cover, quickly popped up to the left wing outside the three-point line.
Kobe Bryant chased the defense all the way, but was hung up by Ibaka's cover, so he was still half a beat slower, and when Li Ze received the turtle pass, Kobe's defense had just rotated in place, Li Ze quickly lowered his center of gravity, and crossed steps to break through with the ball in his right hand.
Kobe Bryant hurriedly slid backwards, but found that Li Ze suddenly dribbled behind his back after taking a big step, and hurriedly adjusted his defensive center of gravity and defended forward.
And at the moment when Kobe Bryant moved, Li Ze changed direction under his left hand very quickly, pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand, and then dribbled vigorously on the spot, exerted force under his feet, and quickly retreated to the three-point line.
“That's good! Kayce Hits the three! ”
Commentator Mike Brin saw that Li Ze hit a three-pointer after the opening and immediately shouted passionately.
"25 points! I'm going to overtake you! ”
After scoring the goal, Li Ze whispered to Kobe Bryant beside him, seeing the black mamba staring at death again, Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, and then quickly retreated.
When the Lakers attacked, Gasol's blocking and dismantling was directly squeezed by Li Ze's agility, Kobe Bryant was about to make a mid-range stop-and-go jump shot, but found that Li Ze's defense was already in place, and Kobe Bryant on top simply shook it, then twisted his body and forced a jump shot!
"Bang!" One more hit!
At this time, the basket was almost two-to-one, Perkins firmly stuck Bynum, Ibaka easily won the rebound again, and the Thunder quickly launched a switch.
The turtle noticed that Li Ze was rushing quickly and went directly to the ball, but Kobe Bryant didn't dare to be careless when he saw Li Ze receiving the ball, and stared at Li Ze's movements.
On the left wing outside the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly sent the ball forward, then quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, pulled the ball with his left hand, and adjusted his footsteps, and after adjusting his pace, the fancy Sam Golder directly passed Kobe's defense.
Kobe Bryant just wanted to chase, but found that Li Ze made a stop-and-go jump shot directly outside the three-point line.
Watch the ball draw a beautiful arc and finally fall into the net with precision!
“OH! Kayce From Downtown! ”
The three-point stop was thrown in, the commentator Mike Brin screamed, and the Russian City fans at the Ford Center Arena also screamed, converting three-point shots, Li Ze's signature move!
"Come and restrain me!"
threw in a three-point shot, Li Ze shouted to Kobe Bryant excitedly.
Infuriated!

But just a minute into the fourth quarter, head coach Phil Jackson decided to watch another round.
Of course, the turtle knew that the good brother was hot, so he signaled to Li Ze to play a double cover tactic, and Li Ze, who was on the line, cut directly from right to left, and used the cover of two big men to successfully catch the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line.
Kobe, who was completely on top, chased the defense very fiercely, and Li Ze just got the ball and immediately stuck to the defense.
Li Ze on the three-point line put the ball with his left hand, suddenly raised his body center of gravity and then dribbled behind his left hand sharply, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand.
“BANG! BANG! ”
“Another three! Kayce From Downtown! ”
Narrator Mike Brin screams excitedly...

Kobe Bryant, who returned to the bench, scolded in a low voice:
"Fack!"
Then he threw the towel in a rage, and then kicked the Gatorade bottle at his feet...
Everyone on the Lakers dared to be angry, and Mamba was angry!
And Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, accepted the compliments of everyone, it was too good, it exploded in an instant, this scoring ability is too strong!
After taking the kettle handed over by Byron and taking a big sip, Li Ze, who was in a good mood, directly leaned back and laughed in his heart:
"That's the strength of an MVP! Mamba is already out of gas! ”
