62 to 55

The SuperSonics went into the second half with a seven-point advantage.

That's the same margin as at the end of the first quarter, and the Lakers' efforts in the second quarter looked like they were in vain.

However, it's not a big margin to the point of despair.

It's just that Yu Fei's last goal of the first half gave the opponent a bad premonition, and they felt that nothing good might happen tonight.

In the away locker room, Kobe Bryant stared at his almost unconscious fingers, thinking back to tonight's game, what he did well, what could be improved, but no matter how he thought about it, the question would eventually return to the root - is he better than Yu Fei?

His answer is yes, but no one agrees.

Even his body doesn't agree with this point of view.

His physical exertion was severe, and his finger injury clearly affected his attack.

But do you want to give up? No, it's early, they have every chance of changing the outcome of this game.

In the home team's locker room, there are still many people talking about Yu Fei's midfield LOGO shooting.

But Yu Fei had already put this matter down.

'If you think you're going to be okay with a seven-point lead, we're going to be sad in the second half. Yu Fei said loudly, "We have to play better in the second half!" ”

When miracle makers ignore the miracle itself, others don't cling to it.

Yu Fei never underestimated his opponent, and he expects tonight to be a four-quarter match.

The Lakers aren't going to collapse with a three-pointer from halftime.

This psychological expectation of putting the opponent high allowed the SuperSonics to go into the second half with a good mentality.

In the third quarter, the Lakers played like an invincible championship team after the trade deadline.

Bryant's glow dimmed, and a finger injury affected his efficiency.

However, a scoreless Kobe still attracts a lot of defensive attention from the SuperSonics.

This gives the rest of the Lakers a scoring opportunity.

Jermaine O'Neal exploded with the momentum, singled in the low post, ate cake in the pick-and-roll, and scored on the second offense after grabbing the offensive rebound.

Everything the Lakers could get on the inside in this tough time, they got it.

Xiao Ao proved that he is still part of the immortal 1996 Golden Generation.

"I'm the No. 1 center in the West!" Xiao Ao yelled at Brown arrogantly, "And you're just a dog next to Fry!" ”

The Lakers narrowed the gap to one point with an inside advantage.

With a few minutes to go until the end of the third quarter, the SuperSonics were in a scoring drought, and the panic and worry of the fans spread in the Key Arena.

Then, Yu Fei took over the ball from Roy's hand, and when he dribbled through the half, the gesture clearly compared to "ISO".

The Lakers' pinch came and went, and the SuperSonics' sluggish shooting percentage in the third quarter exacerbated their pinch tendency.

Yu Fei broke through directly from the middle, forcibly tore a hole in the bag, and dribbled to the free throw line to score a jumper.

"Your defenses are like!" Yu Fei sarcastically sarcastic, "Do you want to add another Kobe?" ”

There is a force that is exploding on the field.

Or rather, it's something the Lakers have been waiting for.

Only when Yu Fei goes all out is the time when supersonic speed is the most powerful.

Since the opening, Yu Fei's sense of existence has been terrifyingly strong, but it is still not what people remember him.

The figure of the overlord of the Bucks period has dimmed.

Yu Fei in the supersonic period restrained his strength.

But it was just suppressed, not gone.

Wharton was blown up.

Kidd's bag clamp didn't help.

Kobe's arrival could not stop this force.

A few years ago, when Kobe Bryant's scoring exploded, it was a serious discussion about who was stronger, he or Yu Fei.

But with Kobe Bryant stopping in the first round for two consecutive years, and Yu Fei winning two more consecutive championships, discussing strength and weakness is a disrespectful performance for the latter.

But the Los Angeles media share similar arguments with James' camp.

If the two teams are of equal standard, Kobe Bryant will not be worse than Yu Fei.

Friend, for those who have reached the top, this is an offense.

Yu Fei will not allow anyone to be in his position.

In the last few minutes of the third quarter, Yu Fei handled all the supersonic offense, scoring 14 points in a row, and the Lakers, who had already chased 1 point, trailed by 8 points at 89-81 at the end of the third quarter.

Yu Fei scored 35 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in the third quarter, once again putting the SuperSonics in the lead.

The most watched game since the start of the 2008 playoffs entered the fourth quarter.

"Fry, let it go." Marion said during the intermission, "Leave us alone. ”

Brown no longer cares about competing with Xiao O, and he completely agrees with Marion's suggestion: "That's right, let's defend well, Da Fei just go on offense!" ”

Yu Fei looked at Roy, as the other core of the team, what did he think?

Roy noticed that everyone was looking at him, so he said, "As a waste of 5 shots and 0 in the third quarter, I think the only thing I have to do right now is pass the ball to Big Fly." ”

At this moment, George Carr is the most relaxed basketball coach in the world.

He really doesn't need to exert too much personal influence on the team.

Because it wasn't his turn. Wherever he goes, the team will follow him, and his personal imprint is already everywhere.

"Then, our offense in the fourth quarter is to give the ball a big fly, and the others get out of the way!" Karl's focus is on the defensive end, "but defensively, we can't let them do whatever they want."

Karl's layout is very simple, he changes his defense when he is blocked, dismantles and covers, gives up offensive rebounds and retreats at full speed without giving the Lakers a chance to rhythm, and infinitely forces the opponent's position to fight singles and fight for the star's ability.

Extreme set-ups lead to extreme plays.

The Lakers started from the inside, and Xiao Ao scored points again.

But Yu Fei maintained the hot hand at the end of the third quarter, throwing the ball in the front court, and still scored a three-pointer.

92 to 83

The Lakers trailed by nine points, and then the two sides played iron with each other under high-pressure defense, Kidd missed a three-point shot, and Yu Fei passed Roy on the way to counterattack, and the latter missed a layup. Xiao Ao attacked the basket again, this time was blocked by Brown, and Foster grabbed the offensive rebound and was stealed by Marion.

The offense and defense became scorching, and for a while no one scored.

Hit the iron, drop the ball, fall to the ground.

The high-pressure situation for nearly three minutes made the nerves of both sides tense, and Yu Fei defended in front of Kobe, but was broken through. But Kobe Bryant has lost his absolute speed, and although he elbowed against Yu Fei, he lost his protection before he could shoot.

Yu Fei jumped up and capped it.

Just in an instant, Yu Fei picked up the ball and threw it to the frontcourt, and Roy, who had shot 0 out of 7 so far in the third quarter, broke his dilemma of consecutive misses with a simple layup.

94 to 83

"Come on, Kobe!" Yu Fei roared at the sky, "Isn't this your favorite one-on-one?" ”

Few people would dare to make such a request to Kobe, not even his teammates.

More than one player who has been teammates with Kobe Bryant has said that if you beat Kobe Bryant in heads-up, you won't be at peace. Kobe Bryant will keep playing with you. If you win him once, he will win ten.

Kobe, who was plagued by physical strength, affected by injuries, and limited by the system, was suddenly beaten with chicken blood.

Anything can be sloppy, but one-on-one? He won't lose to anyone!

This is a backlash from the old forces, an assault on the already established royal power.

A dozen seconds later, Bryant scored on a jumper on a flying head.

94 to 85

"Come on!" That's what Kobe Bryant said.

"Good!" You can see how warm the smile on Yu Fei's face is, like an assassin who sees a target.

He turns around and lets his teammates serve.

The others took the initiative to pull away, and they knew that Yu Fei would not be able to pass the ball.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Yu Fei once again one-on-one with Kobe.

Yu Fei viciously changed direction in advance, like a tall version of Allen Iverson shaking Kobe's defensive center of gravity to one side and pulling out three points.

97 to 85

Kobe Bryant had a cold face, and he also came to Yu Fei, and it was his turn to respond.

Compared with Yu Fei, Kobe Bryant is not tall enough, not strong enough, and does not even have a speed advantage, this is a deal made by a guy who has been standing up for years and has made a deal with the old man of time.

You give me experience, skill, maturity, and I give you a part of my great talent.

Fair enough.

Kobe Bryant first shook Yu Fei's defense with a tentative step, and then rushed to the basket and scored a layup with Yu Fei's body like an explosive.

"Come again!" Bryant yelled, "Go on!" ”

Of course you want to continue, how can you not continue? has reached this point, Yu Fei will not give up until Kobe Bryant is defeated.

It's another positional battle, and it's a heads-up between the two, and this time, Kobe's defense collapsed faster than expected.

Yu Fei tore apart Kobe's defense in one step, and his strong body instantly seized the opponent's position, and then smashed into the basket like a beast.

"Good shot! That's it! Carl roared excitedly, "Keep an eye on the others, don't let Kobe Bryant get into the basket!" ”

Yu Fei will not lose, this is the ideological steel seal that he has spent seven years laying for the people around him.

How did he get revenge on Jordan? How did he put an end to the O'Neill myth? How did he beat Duncan in the 2003 Finals? There are too many examples, think about those, how could he possibly lose to Kobe Bryant tonight?

"Frye vs Kobe, how many times has this been?"

"I don't know, but whoever wins or loses, they show the fans the best side of basketball!"

The best part? No, that's not the best side, Mike Brin, far from it.

The best basketball is always the interpretation of dominance. Think of Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game, think of the gods in the finals of the Magic's rookie season, think of Bird's humiliation of Dr. J, think of Jordan's change of hands in the air in front of the Magic. The strongest personal ability, the best rookie story, the most cruel alternation of the old and the new, and the best performance of the gods.

What does Kobe have?

Seriously, what does he have?

He's nothing now, just a reformed rapist, a half-human, half-demon who desperately needs to prove himself, and defeating him here isn't even something worth writing on Yu Fei's resume.

But something still has to happen.

The attrition of the past three quarters, injuries to the body, and the deterioration of the adrenaline effect made Bryant completely lose his rhythm in this single.

He couldn't break through, couldn't find space, and the only thing he could do in the end was force a pull-up jumper.

He was greeted by Yu Fei's cover.

This was followed by a supersonic counterattack.

99 to 85

The scales have been broken.

Kobe's energy is fading, he is not reconciled, why can't he be at his best at this moment? Why can't he use all his strength to share the victory with Yu Fei?

He didn't believe he was going to lose.

Age, injuries should not be an excuse.

The invincible paranoia of the world made him more and more crazy, and he kept dribbling, from the eighth to the twentieth second of the attack time, and finally launched the attack, but it was a strong attack full of adventure.

Yu Fei's elbow pads didn't open the top, and he came to the basket, but the threat of defense was still close at hand.

Unfortunately, the Black Mamba has given up on thinking.

He roared and tried to force his shot, as if his opponent would be intimidated by his momentum.

But Yu Fei had already jumped to a higher position, and his hands grabbed Kobe's head for his layup, and took it into the palm of his hand shockingly, causing a riot in the key arena.

“@#￥@#￥%”

Kobe Bryant chased after Yu Fei desperately, he was fast, it was hard to imagine that he could still have this speed, he caught up with Yu Fei, but the two had already come to the forbidden area, and then?

The size gap is too big, and it is impossible for Kobe Bryant to stop Yu Fei in this position.

But he is Kobe, when he is calm, he can distinguish what is right and what is wrong, but now, he has lost his mind and forcibly jumped into the air, but he immediately collapsed the moment he came into contact with Yu Fei. His body fell uncontrollably, followed by Yu Fei's god-like dunk against the unbalanced Kobe Bryant.

Yu Fei roared angrily and ripped off the basket, shouting at the complete loser in front of him: "It's all over, Kobe!" ”

Yes, it's all over.

The discussion about Yu Fei and Kobe, the controversy over who is the strongest high school student, and the question about who will win the West this year.

This moment is over.
