Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 328 It's time to test your talent!
In Game [-] of the Lakers-Thunder War, Kobe's sudden outburst gave the Thunder a headache.

Intersection timeout, Thunder bench.

"Then what to do, let Kobe keep scoring?" Durant's forehead was covered with sweat.

Just now, Kobe found a chance to pass several balls to the unguarded Nick Young. Without Durant's supplementary defense, Nick Young could at least score two three-pointers.

Donovan was also very helpless, he stuttered, and Durant's disappointed eyes flashed past.

The Thunder did not find a solution to the problem for a while, the whistle blew, and the second quarter began.

Kobe took a break for the first half of the game, and the Thunder took advantage of this opportunity to play a few strong shots from Durant to close the score.

"Kobe, Kobe, Kobe!"

"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

The fans began to call Kobe's name, and the main screen on the big screen cut to Kobe, and the fans shouted frantically. The atmosphere at home tonight is almost two grades higher than those two games in Oklahoma City.

Kobe wiped off his sweat and went into battle again.

He was as full of energy as he was in his first game in Los Angeles 20 years ago.

Kobe came on the court, and his teammates continued to pass the ball to him. Kobe still shot regardless of the cost. Although his shooting percentage was mediocre, the Lakers were willing to let him shoot.

Everyone else focused on rebounding, especially Yuan Qingshan, who grabbed 8 rebounds, far surpassing Westbrook.

This made Westbrook very upset. What do you mean, is this kid going to get a triple-double in front of him?
Westbrook's temper came up again, he took the ball away from Durant's hands, forced Yuan Qingshan, and made a domineering dunk.

This kind of Qiuyuan Qingshan is convinced. At present, he has no skills, and his body is indeed not as good as others.

Whiteside kicked off and Yuan Qingshan dribbled the ball forward from the middle.

Kobe ran back, successfully threw away Robertson, and cut to the basket along the bottom line on the right. Yuan Qingshan sent the ball to the basket immediately, and Kobe broke through and made a layup.

"Attack, attack!" Donovan yelled from the sidelines. Scott glanced at him and folded his shoulders thoughtfully.

Offense, offense, the coach called two offenses in a row, which meant that the ball was handed over to Er Shaoqiang, and the Thunder wanted to hit the giant planet.

Waiters didn't believe that Kobe could keep attacking. He felt that Kobe couldn't have the physical strength to consume himself on the defensive end. Now the Thunder should focus on the second position, but it's a pity that the coach wants to play star tactics.

Waiters reluctantly handed the ball to Durant. Durant made a tentative step and easily threw the ball in against Towns.

The ball was exchanged, Kobe made continuous fake moves on the left wing, and scored another three-pointer against Robertson.

At halftime, the Lakers led by 10 points, and Kobe scored 24 points on 23 shots.

You know, he averaged only 17.5 shots per game in the regular season, which is less than halftime tonight.

The players of the two teams returned to the locker room, but the atmosphere on the court did not decrease at all. The home team played a 10-minute documentary of Kobe, from 1996 to 2016.

The director turned on the picture-in-picture, and the camera tried to capture the expressions of the fans watching the documentary, but some fans in their 40s were secretly wiping away their tears.

Come back from midfield and change sides to fight again.

Bryant's firepower became more ferocious. He first dodged two defenders in the air and hit a pick basket, and then hit a 9-foot jumper against the defense.

In the subsequent round, Kobe scored another two-handed layup. If it were the former "Peter Pan", this ball should have ended in a thunderous abuse of the basket.

Yuan Qingshan came over to give him a high five, and asked in a low voice, "Is your physical strength okay?"

Kobe dangling his collar: "It's absolutely fine."

Yuan Qingshan glanced back at Scott, Scott raised his hands, with two fingers on his left hand and four fingers on his right hand.

Give the ball to number 24.

Westbrook kept staring at Yuan Qingshan, but Durant's eyes were very flexible. He saw Scott's gesture, and he was secretly happy: let Kobe vote, Kobe can get the data, but the Lakers will lose time to comeback.

Commentary seat.

"Do you think Kobe's physical strength is okay?" Barkley asked the magician.

The magician pondered for a while and replied: "Coach Scott should let him rest. He did score a lot. He got it back with high shots, and most of the shots had to face Robertson and Waiters' double-teams. It was too exhausting. I bet Kobe is holding on with one breath now."

Barkley: "Was the Lakers' tactics successful tonight?"

Regarding this question, the magician was not ambiguous at all: "Unsuccessful, they are desperate. Although Kobe increased his offense, it did not consume Durant and Westbrook. Kobe is tired like this, and they are currently only leading by 9 points. Look at the Thunder. Westbrook and Durant have just scored 20 points. The Thunder can at least get back 20 points on the second youngster."

O'Neal: "Does that mean the Lakers' focus is wrong?"

Magician: "Yes, Kobe should contain the defense instead of endless offense. If the Lakers want to win, they can't put all the pressure on a 37-year-old old man. If Yuan Qingshan and Towns don't play, the Lakers can't go far."

"Give the ball to Kobe" was absolutely true 10 years ago, but it's debatable now.

Kobe hit two consecutive three-pointers at 45 degrees to the left and the top of the arc.

With 5 minutes and 41 seconds left in the third quarter, Yuan Qingshan held the ball at the top of the arc, Kobe ran without the ball, passed through the siege of two people, received a pass near the penalty area, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop.

45 points!
Kobe has scored 45 points, but the difference between the two teams has narrowed to 5 points instead.

Scott called a timeout, and he would replace Kobe anyway.

When Kobe was off the court, the fans exclaimed, they still wanted to watch Kobe play.

"Kobe, Kobe, Kobe!"

The 2 people started calling again, but Scott pretended not to hear.

Kobe adjusted the adhesive tape on his finger expressionlessly. Careful people could find that his finger was swollen more than it was at the beginning of the game.

Next, Huertas was replaced to the second position, and Yuan Qingshan and Downs continued to stay on the court.

Scott told Yuan Qingshan that he and Downs must attack firmly to deter the Thunder.

Yuan Qingshan's energy in this game has always been on assists and rebounds. He didn't take many shots, didn't feel hot, and didn't make a wide open outside the three-point line. After that, he focused on creating opportunities for Towns.

Whiteside was stationed at the basket, Huertas and Nick Young were responsible for bringing the defender to the weak side, and Towns continued his usual style of play, wandering in the high post.

Yuan Qingshan cleverly lobbed two balls to Towns, Towns hit one, and Durant blocked the other.

The sound of the basketball being shot has been lingering in Towns' ears, and his shots became hesitant, and his shooting percentage was lower than Kobe's.

On the side of the Thunder, the second youngster continued to play singles, and at the end of the third quarter, they overtook by 1 point.

This is the first time the Thunder overtook the score, 77 to 76.

O'Neill hugged his head: "My God, it's overtaken, and the Thunder are going to exert their strength."

Barkley: "It's time to test your talents, and the Thunder's talents are even stronger."

The cheers gradually stopped, and it wasn't until this moment that the fans realized that the goddess of victory was not tied to their side.

Now she's going to start swinging between the two teams.
