NBA bench saves national team

Warriors interview room.

"Curry, what do you think of Kobe's retirement?"

a reporter asked.

"Unfortunately, Kobe is a symbol of this league. He has an unparalleled status in this league. He is one of the players I respect most."

"His retirement is a huge loss for the league."

Curry said that he was not stingy with his praise for Kobe, and his expression was very devout.

"Thompson, what do you think?"

a reporter asked.

"Kobe's retirement is a loss to the basketball world. You know, I have lived in California since I was a child. I grew up watching Kobe's game!"

"Kobe's retirement means the end of my youth, and it also means the end of an NBA era."

Thompson also said with a serious face.

"What kind of way will you pay tribute to Kobe in this game?"

a reporter asked.

"We will try our best to play the best performance to win this game. I think it is the best tribute to Kobe."

Thompson said seriously, full of fighting spirit.

then.

The reporters asked a few more questions before ending the pre-match interview.

Since Kobe announced his retirement, basically every game is a part of the team's tribute to Kobe.

All players want to pay tribute to Kobe.

This is what Kobe has achieved in this league over the past 20 years.

After completing the pre-match interview.

Players from the two teams came to the court and started the pre-match warm-up session.

Soon the pre-match warm-up is over.

The starters of both sides came on stage.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Qin Feng, Kobe, Lowry;

The starting lineup of the Warriors is Bogut, Green, Barnes, Thompson, Curry;

Jokic and Bogut jump the ball, and the latter shoots the basketball.

The Warriors took the lead in attacking.

Curry dribbled the ball through half court, played a pick-and-roll with Bogut, and passed the basketball to Bogut.

Bogut responded from a high position at the top of the arc and passed the basketball to Thompson, who ran back through the screen and got an open hand. The latter did not hesitate and raised his hand to throw a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Thompson showed his excellent shooting touch at the beginning.

Lakers offense.

After Lowry dribbled the ball for half court, he passed the basketball to Kobe.

Corvo held the ball at the top of the arc, facing Thompson's fierce and fierce defense, and after changing direction twice in a row, he suddenly stepped back and shot a three-pointer.

Very difficult.

The basketball arced high.

bang.

Out of the basket.

After Bogut grabbed the rebound, he passed the basketball to Green, who dribbled quickly across half court.

The point guard Curry ran frantically towards the frontcourt, looking for open shots.

After crossing a screen run with Thompson, Curry got his shot from beyond the [-]-point line in the left corner.

Green also passed the basketball very accurately.

I have to admit that the player Green is really easy to use.

He has defensive, offensive, organizational and other abilities. He is the lubricant of the team and the core of the team's small ball system.

Can go to the outside to defend small men, and can also defend big centers in the penalty area.

The strength is very versatile.

After Curry received the basketball, he raised his hand and threw an open three-pointer.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

Less than 1 minute into the game, the Warriors' backcourt double-gun Splash Brothers fired one after another, playing a very strong performance.

It can also be seen that these two players are determined to win the game.

Lakers offense.

After Qin Feng broke through the penalty area, he distributed the basketball to Kobe, who made a sudden stop for a mid-range jump ball.

bang.

Still strike iron.

The Warriors set off another counterattack.

After Thompson received a pass from Curry, he stopped outside the three-point line and shot a chasing three-pointer.

The basketball draws an arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net again!

The whole audience is exclaimed.

The commentary on the scene was also full of surprises.

If the backcourt combination of Thompson and Curry explodes on the offensive end at the same time, the power is simply devastating.

Very scary.

In less than 3 minutes, the Warriors played a 14:4 offensive climax.

Gained a 10-point lead directly.

On the Lakers side, only Qin Feng scored 4 points by relying on personal strong play.

The performance of the remaining players is very hip.

Especially Kobe, who performed well in the Christmas game, has yet to score 4 of 0 shots.

resignedly.

Qin Feng could only turn on the personal offensive mode. He scored 2 points in a row in 8 minutes by himself, and responded with a wave of 8:2 offensive climax.

Reduce the point difference to 6 points.

If Thompson and Curry are allowed to score like this, there will be no suspense in the first quarter of this game.

Driven by Qin Feng's super personal ability, other Lakers players also gradually recovered and began to play at their true level.

The two sides fell into a stalemate.

It took more than half a quarter.

The Warriors still failed to widen the lead, only leading by 4 points.

During a timeout, the head coach suddenly changed his game strategy, strengthened his defense against Qin Feng, and went directly to double-team.

Such a change effectively curbed Qin Feng's performance.

The efficiency of the Lakers on both offense and defense has also declined rapidly.

Just through these few minutes of the game, it can be seen how much the Lakers rely on Qin Feng now, especially when facing a top team like the Warriors.

Curry and Thompson broke out again, scoring consecutive three-pointers.

After a wave of 11:2 offensive climax, the Warriors extended their lead to 13 points.

For the next 2 minutes.

The Lakers couldn't close the score again.

The first quarter is over.

42: 29.

The Warriors led by 13 points.

The players felt unbelievable. In their impression, this was the first time the Lakers fell behind to double digits at the end of the first quarter this season.

Is it possible that this game is really going to lose to the Warriors and give up the league's number one throne?

The Lakers fans at the scene began to feel uneasy.

Although there are still three quarters left in the game, the hip-stretching state of the Lakers team today does not seem to be the feeling of reversing the win.

如果不是秦风单节10投8中，三分球4投3中，罚球2罚2中，砍下21分。

I'm afraid the Lakers have collapsed now.

After a short intermission, the second quarter began.

Lakers head coach Steve Kerr is also very cautious to continue to let Qin Feng appear, trying to chase some points during this rotation period.

But the Warriors still sent Thompson with an excellent touch.

Qin Feng did start his own attack mode, using various methods to score consecutively.

But Thompson's touch is still hot, and he scored two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, which directly destroyed the Lakers' goal of chasing points.

in this way.

The Warriors still maintain a lead of more than 10 points at all times!

There was a stalemate for three to four minutes.

The head coaches of both sides began to replace the starting lineup one after another! !
