Chapter 140 Fighting the Mamba Snake Alone

Because Kobe couldn't find the touch all the time, the contest between the two super scorers seemed a bit lacking in passion.

Just over 6 minutes into the first quarter, the Warriors made a substitution. Because the advantage was too great, the old Nelson was late to rest.

This irritated Brother Snake, the contest between our two super scorers, how the hell did I lose?
How can you bear this!

But Brother Snake calmed down in such an extremely angry situation.

He took a deep breath to calm himself, then glanced at his teammates.

Don't even think about Baron Davis. Now that the conflict between the two is well known, Kobe has no intention of continuing to partner with him, and he will never pass the ball to him.

It seems that only Lamar Odom can give him some help-don't get me wrong, why did my brother Snake hand over the burden of offense to others, he just thought that Odom would attract opponents Attention, so that he can get a better shot, so Odom is just a tool man.

Do tool people understand!
At his peak, Odom was known as a left-handed magician, a super all-around fighter, and was once an All-Star player.

It's a pity that his willpower is really bad, and he often makes some inexplicable actions. If he can have one-tenth of Kobe's desire to win, maybe his achievements will not be limited to what he is now.

His talent is really amazing, but now there is not much left, and Kobe is already a little tired of him.

Last year in the game against the Rockets, Odom's competitive state quickly sank, and now he is not enough to be a qualified starter.

It's ironic that Kobe has to try to cooperate with such a hot chicken player.

The Warriors were still very strict on Kobe's marking. As soon as he passed halftime, two people came to double-team him.

Kobe Bryant finally chose to pass the ball in the face of Stephen Jackson and Michael Dunleavy's double-team.

Odom's position is good, and Hill immediately followed closely.

Odom's eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly turned around and passed the ball to the bench.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter mixed with boos in the Oracle Center Arena, and Kobe's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

But Odom looked like a normal person, with a faint smile on his face, looking stupid.

Phil Jackson finally couldn't pretend to be Maitreya anymore. In just half a quarter, the team was already behind by a big score. Kobe and Davis still didn't want to talk to each other at all. Odom was still wasting his talent. Wharton Although dedicated, but limited by talent, the effect is not great.

This made Phil Jackson, who led the Bulls to establish two dynasties, feel extremely headache.

The team's lack of capable players left him with no room for tactical deployment. The triangle offense he is best at is simply useless in the current Lakers.

"Kobe..." Phil Jackson called Brother Snake to him, was silent for a moment, and then said affectionately, "In the future games, you have the right to fire unlimited fire, as long as you want, you can choose your own way to end In the game, I will no longer limit your tactical play."

Kobe was taken aback, and stared at Jackson with wide eyes: "Phil...you..."

"You have also seen that the team's lineup can no longer play the triangle offense. In this case, it is up to you to solve it. In my eyes, you are the closest player to Jordan, and you alone are enough to rule this alliance."

After filling Kobe with a wave of chicken soup, Phil Jackson had to admit that he really had no choice now.

Back on the court, Kwame Brown tried his best at the basket, defended against Biedrins' offense, grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Kobe immediately.

Kobe dribbled the ball straight into the Warriors' half, and under the double-teaming of Stephen Jackson and Dunleavy, he made a three-point shot from outside the three-point line.

But this did not affect his determination. In the next round, the Mamba Snake made a comeback and hit the iron again under the double-teaming of Dunleavy and Jackson.

An interesting scene appeared. When Kobe was hitting the iron, the TV broadcast shot was shown to Odom, and he was raising his head and giggling. I don’t know what made him so happy, probably thinking of Kardashian Big ass bar.

Kobe didn't notice this, but re-did the shooting action a little annoyed, as if he wanted to find the touch.

After leaving the field late, Milicic and Hill also went down to rest, which caused the Warriors' offensive efficiency to drop significantly. The Lakers defended the Warriors' offense and Kobe once again dribbled the ball across the half.

There are many people who criticize Kobe, saying that his offensive efficiency is not high, and he does not choose to pass the ball when facing double teams, and his style of play is too poisonous.

In fact, there is no way to do this, because Kobe really doesn’t have any good teammates now. He has conflicts with Davis. Whoever changes it will definitely not pass the ball to Davis. Kwame Brown is left. The famous parallel import champion, the expectations are too high, he did not play the value that matches the expectations, he has been in the league for several seasons, and now he is just a blue-collar player who can only eat cakes.

Odom seems a little unsuited to the starting role, and his performance has been getting worse recently.

This time Kobe did not choose to force himself, even if he is as confident as he is, it is impossible to always challenge other people's double-teams.

When he was holding the ball on the outside, the Warriors only used Jackson to defend him. When he chose to break through inside, the Warriors players closest to him would immediately come over to double-team him. It was obviously bullying Kobe’s poor three-point ability. How stable.

If Kobe wants to win this must-have victory, there must be teammates who can stand up and help him.

He drove inside from the right side of the court, drew the Warriors' double-team again, and passed the ball to Walton.

Luke Walton is not strong in confrontation and has almost no offensive ability with the ball, but he is currently the most accurate player on the Lakers outside the three-point line.

The Warriors' perimeter defense immediately rotated, and Michael Pietrus was in place.

Without any hesitation, Walton passed the ball to Odom.

Odom's expression was a bit strange, as if he had taken too much medicine, and he used his height advantage to beat Matt Barnes. He dribbled the ball sideways and made a mistake, and the ball hit his sneakers and rolled out of the baseline.

Kobe's eyes were almost bulging out of anger at that time. I was fighting to the death on the court, and finally attracted double-teams and points. Is this how you ended our offense?
Odom looked strange, lowered his head and went back to the defense honestly.

Phil Jackson shook his head helplessly on the sidelines. Odom is one of the bargaining chips for the Heat to trade O'Neal. His talent potential is very good, but it seems that he is almost useless.

Fortunately, the Warriors missed the attack this time, and Murphy's three-point shot was interrupted by Kobe's interference.

Kwame Brown grabs the defensive rebound and immediately passes to Kobe.

Kobe dribbled the ball madly, relying on his advantage in confrontation to push away Michael Dunleavy, and made an easy layup.

The Lakers finally broke the scoring shortage and narrowed the score by two points.

For a long time to come, Lakers fans felt worried.

Kobe is like a warrior fighting alone, constantly challenging the Warriors' defense. The Warriors can double-team him unscrupulously. In the worst case, even four Warriors players sandwiched Kobe in the middle.

However, other Lakers players failed to give Kobe effective support, causing Kobe to fight alone, scoring free throws again and again.

Fortunately, the Warriors' lineup has poor protection for rebounds. Kobe often hits the basket after taking shots to grab rebounds, disrupting the Warriors' rhythm and getting many second chances to attack.

At the end of the first quarter, Kobe took 13 shots and only hit 4 goals, but with up to 16 free throws, he still scored 22 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers to 29 points behind [-]:[-].

"Kobe's offensive efficiency is not very high today. He seems to be unable to find the shooting target, but his breakthrough threat is very great. The Warriors also paid the price of several fouls in order to limit him." Pippen summarized the first quarter During the game, I still helped Kobe explain a few words, "Even if Jordan came, there is no way to lead such a Lakers to play better. Their lineup is too bad. The triangle offensive system that Phil (Jackson) is good at I can't play at all, I think the Lakers must make adjustments as soon as possible and select some capable players in the free market, at least they shouldn't let Kobe continue to fight alone like this."

Van Gundy immediately counterattacked: "But when the Rockets suffered from injuries last year, the players led by the single-core team lately were not much better than the current Lakers (Van Gundy showed mercy), I think Kobe should give his teammates More trust."

"Hehe, he has been running to the basket for rebounds. Do you think he doesn't trust his teammates enough? Just in the first quarter, he got four offensive rebounds. I think Kobe's performance today outstanding."

Neither of the two can convince the other, and Van Gundy is different from Pippen, he is a late honey, but he will not black Kobe without brains, so it is difficult for him to convince Pippen.

The three commentators on TNT were not so tit-for-tat. They quickly reached a consensus that Kobe was not in a good state today, but he still caused a huge damage to the Warriors with his sharp breakthrough, but the Lakers are currently Internal and external troubles are still the biggest problem.

Late's performance was stable and amazing. When facing the league's top defensive backs, his lateness was extremely efficient today. If it hadn't been for an early rest, the score between the two sides might have been opened.

But in Kobe's peak season, no one dared to say that the Lakers were doomed.

As long as Kobe is still on the court, he can beat his opponents by himself.

Sure enough, the second quarter had just begun, and Kobe's style of painting changed suddenly.

The iron man who strikes iron turned into the all-powerful Mamba Snake. He scored three magic balls in a row, including a three-pointer with a fadeaway drift, chasing the difference between the two sides to only two points.
