Chapter 172: Kobe Bryant is in a hurry

He didn't shoot much in the first half, but he was also building up energy and preparing to take over the game in the second half or the fourth quarter.

Who knows, Zhou Yang took the lead.

If the momentum of the Warriors is not contained, the difference in the first half will be widened.

Bryant began to fight back.

In the next Lakers offense, Kobe Bryant scored a difficult three-pointer under Zhou Yang's defense and temporarily stabilized the situation.

However, Zhou Yang was not to be outdone, and immediately responded with a breakthrough dunk, which also caused Gasol's blocking foul.

The game has become the pinnacle showdown between Zhou Yang and Kobe Bryant again!

At the end of the first half, the score came to 57:50, and the Warriors led by seven points.

Kobe Bryant scored 21 points in the first half and Zhou Yang scored 24 points.

Both are the team's top scorers, and Kobe Bryant also has 5 assists and Zhou Yang has 7 assists.

Intermission.

In the five sets of sports live broadcast rooms of Huaxia CCTV, Director Zhang and Yu Jia are commenting on the game.

"Coach Zhang, can you summarize the first half of the game."

This round of the series is a kind of enjoyment for Director Zhang.

As a double fan of Kobe and Zhou Yang, his commentary is particularly fair, rather than obviously biased towards Kobe Bryant as before.

"Hehe, this game is good-looking, the Lakers and Warriors have played at a very high level, Kobe Bryant is more mature, and Zhou Yang has also shown extremely high potential!"

"If there is any deficiency of the two teams, it is the Lakers' outside scoring ability, except for Kobe, the others are too bad, but fortunately, the defense is not bad. On the Warriors' side, Curry's three points are very important to the Warriors' offense, otherwise Zhou Yang will fight alone! ”

After all, Coach Zhang is a basketball celebrity, and he can see the advantages and disadvantages of both sides at a glance.

Yu Jia nodded and said: "That's right, the Warriors do lack offensive points, but as a team that was still competing for the top spot last season, it is already good, with great potential, and it still needs a few years of run-in and training." ”

"This offseason is very important for the Warriors, and I hope the Warriors management can give some effort to build a championship team around the Splash Brothers, and next year's game will definitely be good!"

"As soon as Zhou Yang entered the league, he was almost a finished product, and Curry is a semi-finished product, I can't imagine what kind of team the Warriors will be in two years!"

"If I'm a Warriors manager, I'm going to have to trade for a top blue-collar inside, at least be able to defend and be athletic, and a big forward with a strong defensive ability, and that's pretty much it."

"Also, the bench also needs to sign one or two veterans with independent offensive ability, at least not to be embarrassed in the bench stage."

"Your analysis is reasonable, as long as you have long eyes, you can see that the Splash Brothers will definitely be able to achieve something, it depends on the management!"

"Speaking of which, I still admire the old Nelson, he had a unique vision at the time, he fell in love with Zhou Yang at once, and he also traded Curry, which is simply a god operation!"

"Haha, that's right, but at that time, I was scolded a lot for this operation, and many media and fans thought that Monta Ellis was better, and Zhou Yang and Curry should not be wanted."

"So, Nelson Sr. really has a reinvention for the Warriors, otherwise, the Warriors may continue to rot."

……

The second half began.

Bryant saved a lot of energy in the first half and increased his individual offense in the third quarter.

The Warriors were helpless, as long as Kobe Bryant was also in the bag, Zhou Yang and Margeti chased after him and kept sticking to Kobe.

However, the mature Kobe Bryant did not go up, and he only attacked himself when he had the opportunity.

On the Warriors' side, the offense still relies on the Splash Brothers.

Curry felt okay in the first half, but in the third quarter, the power suddenly went out again, and he missed three consecutive shots.

The Warriors' offense tightened all of a sudden, because Zhou Yang was also frantically trapped.

The Lakers slowly caught up with the score.

The third quarter played more than five minutes, and the score came to 74-72, and the Warriors only led by two points.

Old Nelson quickly called a timeout.

This is the Warriors' first game, and they must try to win it, even if it is difficult.

"Stephen, how about the two of us in the bottom corner?" Zhou Yang pulled Curry to his side and whispered.

"Squatting in the corner?" Curry didn't get it.

"Yes, the Lakers are now focusing on the two of us, so let's squat in the bottom corner and find an opportunity to come out with a lethal shot!"

This is a tactic that the two of them occasionally used when they were in college.

When playing at Davidson College, the two will often receive special defensive treatment, so they will choose to crouch in the bottom corner and let the opposing defense take care of each other.

"Good!" Curry suddenly understood.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Warriors attacked, but Zhou Yang didn't touch the ball and ran directly to the bottom corner.

Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Margeti, and ran to the other corner.

The Lakers players are a little confused.

Kobe, Mehta, and Fisher had to follow to the bottom corner, so the rest of the Warriors players would be 3 to 2.

Margeti dribbled to the paint and made a pass, and Bynum and Gasol had to give up their defenders and pounce.

Sou!

Margeti easily stuffed the ball to Andris under the basket, and Andris scored with a dunk!

The Splash Brothers suddenly crouched in the bottom corner, leaving the Lakers players at a loss, and it had a good effect.

Lakers offense.

Zhou Yang shouted, and the warriors suddenly strengthened their defense and pressed all over the court.

Zhou Yang clinged to Kobe Bryant and used [Death Entanglement] again, and at the same time, Margeti also gave up Meta and pounced on Kobe.

Bryant hurriedly passed the ball to Mehta, but Curry was quick and suddenly shot out and broke the ball

Curry's ball breaking has always been underestimated, and his flexibility and anticipation ability actually allowed him to snatch the ball in chaos.

After breaking the ball, Curry did not hesitate and made a three-point shot after halftime!

The ball was in good rhythm, and Curry didn't live up to the expectations of the home fans, hitting a three-point shot from a long distance!

The difference is back to 7 points!

The Warriors took the Lakers by surprise by changing formations on both offensive and defensive ends.

The Zen master stood on the sidelines, touching his chin, his brow furrowed into a big pimple.

The ability shown by the Warriors greatly surprised the Zen master.

But the Zen master didn't call a timeout, because Kobe Bryant is in good shape right now and should be able to deal with it.

He was right, Kobe Bryant quickly calmed down, commanded his teammates, ran aggressively, and received the ball quickly.

The Lakers attacked, and the Warriors didn't press all over the court.

This is Zhou Yang's cleverness, one is relaxed and one is relaxed, and what he plays is a change in rhythm.

Kobe dribbled past half court, faced Zhou Yang and Margeti, changed direction, and hit the penalty area, and before Zhou Yang pounced, he drifted out!

Classic Bryant-style goals.

The score came to 79:74, and the margin returned to 5 points.

Kobe Bryant is going to make a move!
