Chapter 246 Show off again in the third quarter!
"Today's Kobe is more determined," Barkley said in surprise.

Curry quickly brought to the frontcourt!
Kobe came over and posted it immediately!

Presti saw this smile. To be honest, he was really not afraid of Kobe's strict defense. Since Curry's defense was very difficult, Presti has been letting Curry continue to improve his off-ball ability!Although it is not as terrifying as the previous life, it is enough!

Kobe defended Curry as the strongest point of the Lakers. This is what Presti really wanted to see. Curry ran all over the court, and Kobe had to follow, repeatedly, which was a huge challenge to Kobe's physical strength.

Curry quickly handed the ball to Paul George who came out to meet him!
Paul George moved the ball to the left in an arc, and Curry, who handed over the ball, started running!At the same time, Thompson is also running back and forth!
Whiteside sets a screen and blocks Sessions!

Thompson out!

Paul George immediately passed the ball!
Three shots!

But, miss!Gasol got the rebound and handed it to Sessions to advance!

Give the ball to Gasol!
Gasol back David West!

Turn around and hook!

hit!
The Lakers took a 4-point lead with Kobe and Gasol's goals!Immediately after David West missed a mid-range shot, Kobe hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc again!

7: 0!

"The Lakers are in great shape today!" Barkley exclaimed.

"Why hasn't Presti called a timeout yet, head iron?" David Wesley said helplessly.

At this time, Presti didn't mean to call a timeout at all. When Curry was defended by Kobe, the team would experience short-term discomfort. This is what Presti clearly told the players before the game. Once there is a scoring shortage, they can use singles to solve it!

Later, Paul George took the ball and singled Ebanks, and scored 5 points with the ball from inside and outside to break the scoring shortage!

After that, Paul George made consecutive mid-range shots. David West resisted Gasol at the basket and rebuilt 2+1 to help the Hornets overtake the score!
Beep!The Lakers pause!

"Haha, I said why Presti's head was ironed, so it was planned long ago." David Wesley laughed awkwardly.

Barkley: "..."

After the timeout, the Lakers continued to use Kobe and Sessions' breakthroughs to score points. Kobe made a three-pointer and gave the Lakers back the lead!

Not to be outdone, Thompson came out to catch the ball and made a three-pointer!
Ebanks and Bynum scored two points each. After the first quarter, the Lakers led slightly 28-24!

Barkley said: "In the first quarter, Curry's data was only 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist! Kobe's defense is really good!"

"I believe Curry will bounce back," David Wesley said firmly.

In the second quarter, Matt Barnes scored four points first!Gordon made a breakthrough layup!

Then Lima Te Barnes and Steve Black each scored a three-pointer to help the Lakers expand the point difference to double digits!

"It seems that the Lakers have made sufficient preparations in the past two days. Today's offensive efficiency is really high!" Barkley praised, and then continued: "The Lakers can actually lead the Hornets by double digits!"

"Presti actually has a starting lineup, my God, there are all three starters on the opposite side!" David Wesley was speechless.

Then Bradley responded with a three-pointer, but immediately after Gasol scored four points with penalties, the Lakers led 42-29 by 13 points!
At this time Presti finally called a timeout!

During the timeout, Presti asked Jack to control the team's rhythm, and Jack also knew that this opportunity was rare, so after the timeout, he actually made two consecutive mid-range shots!
Jack continued to score points and at the same time assisted Okafor to score points inside to narrow the point difference to single digits!

Beep!The Lakers pause again!

"This Jack finally broke out today!" David Wesley excitedly said.

"I almost forgot about this person, I didn't expect Presti to inspire again!" Barkley said in surprise.

After the timeout, the Lakers changed into the starting lineup, and Kobe and Sessions teamed up to score six points!

Thompson responded with a three-pointer from the top of the arc.
Since then, the shooting percentage of both sides has declined, but the Lakers can rely on attacking the inside to score points!
Soon after another dead ball, Presti also changed back to the starting lineup!
After switching back, the two sides started a tug-of-war but the point difference remained at 16 points!
In the final attack, Paul George faced Ebanks at the top of the left arc,

Continuous crossover! , suddenly moved laterally!

Flash location!

Take a three-point shot!

hit!

Help the Hornets reduce the point difference to 13 points at the end of the first half!
"I think the Hornets will definitely not have the magic of the last game in the second half, because today's Lakers are too good!" Barkley affirmed

"Haha, I still firmly believe that the Hornets will counterattack in the third quarter!" David Wesley said very confidently.

In the locker room, Presti took out a tactical board and said, "In the third quarter, we played fast, pushed and counterattacked, and kept less ground! They spent enough in the first half, and they defeated them in one fell swoop in the third quarter!"

In the Lakers locker room, D'Antoni said: "No matter how the opponent plays in the second half, we must hold down the rhythm and don't follow the opponent's rhythm!"

Soon the second half will begin!

As soon as he came up, Kobe intercepted Curry's pass and made a counterattack!

Curry advances to the frontcourt and hands it to Paul George!

The Hornets played a wave of 8:2! !
The Hornets fans who had been silent for half the time finally broke out again!For a moment, the New Orleans Arena was overwhelmed by warm applause and shouts!

"This...the third quarter of the Hornets is still so fierce..." Barkley was speechless in surprise.

"Haha, I just said that the Hornets will definitely recover the score in the third quarter!" David Wesley said excitedly.

On the Lakers coach bench, D'Antoni said angrily: "Press the rhythm, press the rhythm! Don't compare speed with the Hornets!"

And Presti said to the players: "Keep playing like this!"

After returning from a timeout, Kobe catches the ball at the top of the arc
To the Sessions around! ,

Kobe who hit the ground back and cut in!
Catch the ball and pull up a jumper!
