I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 286 Kobe's Helper

Phil Jackson wanted Odom to be aggressive, but Kobe couldn't sit still. He directly asked to play. Fortunately, at this time, two minutes and 30 seconds of the second quarter had passed, and with the intermission, Kobe had rested for nearly 5 minutes, and this 2-minute timeout.
Moreover, even if Phil Jackson wanted Kobe to rest for another minute and a half, Kobe would not agree to it. The point difference came to 5 points. In his opinion, it was useless to rely on the guys that the Lakers played just now, and he had to play by himself.

Kobe’s personality is like this. If his teammates perform well and allow the team to gain a sufficient lead, he will not have any doubts no matter how long he is allowed to rest off the court.
So Phil Jackson didn't say much. Speaking of which, when he came back, it seemed that he had reached a settlement with Kobe, but if he really wanted to say it, it wasn't a settlement, it was more like a compromise between the two parties. I can listen to you within a certain range, but at a certain point, you can no longer ask me, you must follow what I say!

The delicate relationship between the two also made Phil Jackson point to Shannon Brown when Kobe said he was going to play, and put the latter off the court.

At the same time, "Old Fish" Fisher was brought into the game!

Kobe in this mode is really only Lao Yu who can cooperate with him, because if he fails to score a sudden pass, then this guy will definitely jump in anger, and the only player who can withstand this pressure is Fisher!
After all, he was the one who beat the Spurs in 0.4 seconds!

Fisher can be regarded as a representative who has nothing but a big heart!

Because if I really want to say, his career average of three-pointers is only 30.00%. There are seasons with more than 40.00%, but there are not many, and they are all in his early 80s, and it is really impossible for him to take too many three-pointers. Divide more than 100% of the ball, and how many shots are left, so Fisher's average number of shots per game is estimated to be about nine to ten, and he will shoot more than [-] three-pointers in a season.

But at the critical moment, he was able to enter!

Of course, goals at critical moments are always so special. This may also be the reason why Fisher is accurate at critical moments, because everyone only remembers the goals he scored at critical moments!
But no matter what, Kobe is in this state, Phil Jackson chose to put Fisher on the court, because the Lakers will enter a high-pressure state in the next period of time!
If Kobe is in a hurry, he will bite!
Carlisle also brought back Marion in position [-] after the timeout. Kobe came up. He had to increase the defensive strength of the flanks. Caron Butler was obviously not a suitable candidate!
……

"Come back from the timeout, Kobe really played!"

Bill Walton wasn't surprised that Kobe chose to play at this time. On the contrary, if Kobe didn't play at this time, he would feel strange, because this guy has done this too many times, pushing the entire team on his shoulders to move forward!
The timeout of the Lakers is also the possession of the Lakers. Kobe took the ball directly in the backcourt. This time, Fisher was not allowed to dribble for him, which shows how bad this guy is currently.

Of course, it’s no wonder that Kobe felt aggrieved. He fought hard in the first quarter, and managed to catch up to 1 point left. But in less than 3 minutes, the team’s point difference was 5 points. He always helped his teammates fill in the holes on the court, and no one could bear it!

Kobe faintly felt that he was a bit back in 05!
The field is full of my teammates, but I can't count on them all!

The Mavericks guard him here is Jason Terry.

Kobe, who was in a bad mood, did not choose to play the latter directly, but called Gasol's pick-and-roll, and then went directly to the inside, and the small tie rod sent the ball into the basket.

The point difference came to three points!

Carlisle was surprised to see Kobe's style of play!
This is what he didn't expect, Kobe in this situation actually knew how to find the cooperation of his teammates.

"This should be where Kobe is more mature. He still puts the team on his shoulders, but he already knows how to make it easier for himself!" Drexler was very satisfied with Kobe's goal. In fact, as a swingman, it is really necessary to cooperate with his teammates in pick-and-rolls, because a proper pick-and-roll can really make scoring easy!
Nowitzki raised his hand, indicating that it was his problem.

But no one can blame him.

The reason is also very simple. Kobe followed Pau Gasol's pick-and-roll to throw Terry away. It is too difficult to post Kobe in the high position with Nowitzki's moving speed!
And even if Nowitzki posted it, it probably won't be of much use. To be honest, Kobe's core strength is not necessarily worse than him!

After recovering two points, the Lakers had two more waving towels on the bench. At this time, especially in the away game, the cheers must keep up!

Kobe turned his head and glanced at the scorer. Seeing the added two points, he nodded slightly, and there are still three points!
"Slow down and don't rush!"

Kobe scored the goal very quickly just now, Lin Yang deliberately slowed down, if he deliberately kept up with Kobe's rhythm to respond to the score, he would inevitably enter the opponent's rhythm.

Of course, he can always give the ball to Nowitzki to play singles and forcefully match the offense and defense of the Lakers. However, there is one thing to say, the current situation of the Lakers is that they can only play this way, or in Kobe's view, they can only play this way, but the Mavericks are different.

Lin Yang slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Fisher, he was very confident that he could break through directly, but from the side where Fisher gave way, it could be seen that this guy was cooperating with others in defense.

He is not that stupid!

He simply continued to move laterally from the time Fisher was defending. Fisher watched him move and followed him. In this way, the entire Lakers defensive lineup had to follow suit!

But the Mavericks' outside line opened up even more at this time. Seeing that the two players on the Mavericks' outside line were out of the range that the Lakers could defend from the outside line, Kobe and Barnes had to run back in front of them again. However, in this way, the Lakers' pocket against Lin Yang was torn apart.

Lin Yang didn't hesitate any more, he stuck to Fisher's empty side and went straight in to kill, with just one step, Fisher was passed!

I actually have such a time!
Lin Yang also didn't expect that he would also pass the matchup in one step.

Odom had to make up for it at this time, but his remedy at this time meant a leak. Lin Yang hit the ground and gave it to Tim Thomas on the inside. The latter dunked with both hands and vented fiercely!

He had a chance just now, but was disturbed, and he has been holding back his breath until now!
Only after this goal, Carlisle made a substitution and brought Tyson Chandler on the court.

Kobe just entered the basket too easily, he needs to give the opponent a little interference, Tyson Chandler's movement speed and grasp of the space are not comparable to Tim Thomas, so Carlisle made a substitution!
"Good job, leave the rest to me!"

Tyson Chandler came on the stage, first glanced at Lin Yang with a smile, and then ran to his position to defend.

On the Lakers side, Kobe is naturally attacking again.

Jason Terry came up because of Tyson Chandler, and he no longer worried about being passed by Kobe, so he posted it directly. Kobe was still holding the ball to make some tentative moves, but now he had to hold the ball and pull it back.

Jason Terry continued to press forward, giving plenty of pressure.

However, Kobe, who was retreating at the moment, had more space to break through. He took a step to the right and tricked Jason Terry into moving in his direction. After that, he suddenly made a sharp forward change to the left, and Terry was directly shaken away.

With full force, Kobe went in to kill, and the entire defensive formation of the Mavericks quickly shrank, but just after they shrank, Kobe ended the attack with a step-back jumper.

"Shh!"

Unguarded, the ball fell into the box again!

"Wow! Kobe tricked the entire Lakers defense, this guy is so strong!"

"His offense is really proficient. He can connect every technical action. This guy is really amazing. I really don't know how to describe this guy. I can only say that in the history of the NBA, I am afraid that only Michael Jordan can overwhelm him!"

"This kind of offensive performance really makes people feel speechless, what a pity! Why can't Kobe find some good teammates, damn the Lakers management!"

The Kobe team watching the game was amazed by this goal, and they all expressed their sincere admiration.

"I have to say that it is a pity that he was not born in our era. I think he could have found more opponents!" Although there were "four major shooting guards" in the league at the beginning of the 21st century, in Drexler's view, Kobe was born in the wrong era. He should have been born a few years earlier and played in their era.

Yes, Drexler has some regrets. He really wants to play against Kobe in this period. He believes it will be a pretty good feeling.

"It's just a pity. If the Lakers rely on him alone, they probably won't be able to last for too long. We can't expect Kobe to score 81 points tonight. What's more, what he's facing is not the Raptors!"

It was only after Drexler sighed that his thoughts returned to reason. He could see that although the Lakers are currently in a stalemate with the Mavericks relying on Kobe, this situation is not enough for the Lakers to narrow the point difference, and it is even more impossible for the Lakers to overtake the point difference!
The reason is also very simple, because Kobe can't keep scoring!
"Dangdang!"

Kobe missed the third attack. He used a little more strength in the layup. Tyson Chandler protected the rebound and handed it to Lin Yang. Lin Yang quickly launched a fast break. The Lakers were unable to retreat.

Coupled with the response to Kobe's goal just now, these 4 points helped the Mavericks widen the point difference to 7 points!
Kobe continued to get the ball, but he didn't score a layup just now, which increased the Mavericks' confidence in defending him. More importantly, from the very beginning, Kobe had never passed the ball after he got the ball. So this time, the Mavericks suddenly chose to double-team after Kobe held the ball. Terry, who had the ball, had no choice but to foul and force a stop.

There was a huge cheer at the scene!
Kobe, who returned to defense amid the cheers, shook his head helplessly. He has no other thoughts besides this idea.

Fortunately, Bynum came on the court during the re-serve gap, and the "Three Towers of the Lakers" were on the court at the same time, which made the altitude of the entire team a lot higher.

And such a height is obviously dominant. The Mavericks did not adapt to the crowded inside when the Lakers' "three towers" were on the court at the same time. This time the offense ended in a strike.

Kobe was relieved that the point difference was not further widened, so he didn't have to think about the impact of that mistake just now!

Kobe continued to attack, because he was double-teamed and made a foul, so when the Mavericks double-teamed him this time, he moved the ball very quickly, and the ball was transferred to Bynum several times.

The point difference is back to five points!

Bynum made a contribution!

Kobe quickly ran over and gave him a high five again.

Bynum's condition is really good tonight. He just connected with Kobe. Now, at the most critical moment for the Lakers, he came up and hit a very important goal, which relieved Kobe's pressure. It really played a very important role!
