Defending champion

Chapter 145 Kobe is on fire
Hilton picked up this dead chicken, and the Hornets got another chance to attack.

The Hornets are attacking!
The ball was still in Jack's hands, and Odom was always deflated by Jack, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.Always thinking about how to make Jack pay a heavy price.

However, Jack just failed to make Odom do what he wanted.

Jack's post-up singles, feinted a shot, and Odom already knew that Jack had this trick.Start to prevent it in advance.This time, Odom was a little better than the previous one, and he was not shaken down.However, after Jack feinted, there was still a gap for shooting.Jack bent his knees and jumped up, his upper body leaned back slightly, his wrist shook slightly, and the basketball rolled out of his hand.

Odom's hands were almost on Jack's face, but Jack was still not afraid, and his face was still very calm.

The sound of "shabu" is very crisp!
8-10, in a blink of an eye, the Hornets had already relied on Jack's personal ability to hit an 8-0 spurt, closing the score to only 2 points.

The Lakers' offense has been stagnant for some time, and at this time, Kobe still chooses to trust his teammates.However, there is no way for his teammates to trample on his trust time and time again.The Lakers collectively misfired in the second half of the first quarter, except for Kobe.

"Bah... bah..." The sound of the Lakers' hammering resounded through the Staples Center.

The Hornets seized the opportunity and successfully overtook the score.At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets led by 8 points, 20 to 28.

In the first quarter, Jack woke up the Hornets with his own strength, and very successfully opened the score between the Hornets and the Lakers.Jack scored 14 points in the first quarter, and also had 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block.

Kobe scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 assists and no blocks.However, there is still no way to avoid the decline of the Lakers falling behind in the first quarter at home.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Hornets entered the rotation time, and both sides replaced the rotation lineup.The Hornets' bench showed their characteristics as a bench gangster as soon as they came on the court. As soon as they came up, they played a wave of 12-0 spurts, directly pulling the difference between the Lakers and the Lakers to 20 points. According to the current Judging from this situation, the Lakers are doomed to tragedy today.

However, the Hornets dare not underestimate them at all, because they have Kobe Bryant, the most terrifying basketball player in the league.The general manager of the Mavericks, Kak Cuban, once said - as long as there is a team with Kobe, then the game will not end until the moment the whistle blows.

What's more, the Lakers still have face. Phil Jackson, one of the greatest coaches in history, for such a Lakers, anything can happen.

Phil Jackson, a well-known coach, has a habit when he is coaching. If it is not a very critical moment in the game, he will not easily call a timeout. He will let the players on the field solve it by themselves.For this reason, he also won the nickname of Zen Master.However, at the same time, he also ushered in a lot of scolding-the leader's coaching ability is not good.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers were opened up by the Hornets' second team.

At this point, even Phil Jackson, who was as stable as a mountain, couldn't sit still, and asked for a timeout.Less than 4 minutes after the opening of the second quarter, the main players of the Lakers returned to the court immediately.The Lakers also knew that this was a game they couldn't afford to lose, and at this time, they also started to get serious.

Byron Scott is not a conservative head coach, and he also has considerations for this situation.At this time, the Hornets also replaced all the main players.

Byron didn't want the Hornets to establish a lead with great difficulty, allowing the Lakers to close the score again.That kind of situation is very unwilling to see the Hornets.

Lakers attack!
Kobe saw that his team was in danger of losing.You can clearly see the burning fire in Kobe's eyes.Kobe couldn't help scolding a few times when he saw his unsatisfactory teammates.However, this has no effect at all.On the contrary, the Lakers players became even more depressed after hearing Kobe's cursing.

Kobe broke through JR Smith's defense, split the ball, and the ball was delivered to Kwame Brown under the basket.Kwame Brown didn't realize that Kobe would pass the ball to him, he didn't hold the ball firmly, and was caught by Jack next to him.

Immediately after Jack and Paul's pick-and-roll, they did it very well.It's no wonder Kobe is so angry, the Lakers' rotation is a mess of misplaced.

Jack was on his shooting position, and without any defense, he made an easy hit, and the basketball hit the net with a bang.

Seeing the performance of his teammates like this, Kobe is really popular this time, really popular.

Kobe's expression became extremely cold, as cold as ice, and he didn't say a word. As long as Kobe passed by, the surrounding air would quickly condense...

At this time, as long as people on earth know that Kobe is going to do it alone.At the same time, this also means that the Hornets successfully cut off the connection between Kobe and the Lakers, and the Hornets successfully pushed Kobe to a desperate situation.

Bryant stoically took the basketball from the Lakers point guard, Chris Bash, and dribbled for half court by himself.

Kobe came to the sixty-degree feet of the three-point line with a blank face.

JR Smith looked at Kobe's posture like this and knew that Kobe wanted to break through.Quickly lowered the center of gravity of the body and took a small step back to prevent him from breaking through the basket.

Kobe ignored jr Smith's defense at all, Kobe vented his anger on the defender jr Smith, his eyes kept provoking, jr Smith, his shoulders kept shaking, and he looked unwilling to die jr Smith, luck The arc of the ball is also constantly increasing, but it is very deceptive.

Seeing Kobe dribbling in ecstasy, Jack made up his mind to learn to dribble like Kobe in the future, he must!

Jr Smith felt that the distance back was not enough, so he took another small step back.

At this time, Kobe suddenly stopped dribbling, his legs rose from the ground, he shot calmly, his wrist shook slightly, and Kobe's iconic shooting posture.

With a sound of "shabu", the basketball hit the net.
