It's a pity that calling timeouts continuously and having teammates enter Kobe's time has no effect. Otherwise, there would be no Lakers in the 21st century. Until Kobe's Achilles tendon rupture, the Lakers almost won all five or six games against the Spurs in the playoffs.

There's no way to prevent it!

Kobe can play inside and outside no matter how he plays, and once Kobe's offense goes smoothly, his defense becomes more fierce, and his clothes will kill the opponent's posture.

After halftime, Kobe scored 39 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds, leading the Lakers to a 63-50 away lead over the Hawks by 13 points!

…

Home team locker room.

"SHXTSHXTSHXT!!!" Jason Terry cursed loudly.

After scoring 35 points in the first quarter, the Eagles only scored 15 points in the second quarter.

Kobe mobilized all his teammates, who only had to defend. Kobe could throw the ball against two or even three people by himself!

After scoring 13 points in the first quarter, he scored 26 points in the second quarter, which is simply terrifying!

Liu Mang, who mainly defended Kobe, was naturally the one who suffered the biggest blow. Although he knew that Jason Terry was not scolding him, but was dissatisfied with the entire team being suppressed by Kobe alone, Liu Mang still felt very unhappy!

"Okay, stop complaining, let's take a look at our defensive problems." Coach Kruger entered the locker room, first of all to stabilize the emotions of the players and try to make the second half a fresh start.

The main emphasis is on defense, and everything must start with defense.

"Ace's defense, Jason's double-teaming, and Sharif's complementary defense were all timely and in place..." Coach Kruger had a headache when he saw the three men double-teaming Kobe.

Liu Mang can't stand up to Kobe! He can keep up with his speed, but Kobe's strength is one of the best among shooting guards. He can withstand James' post-up play in his old age. This kind of explosive power is at the top level in the entire history of the NBA.

.

What a headache!

The four best players plus Newbell, Strickland, Alan Henderson and others have all played. Only Liu Mang has a slightly better effect against Kobe. At least he can keep up with the speed and can provide cover for others.

Although the time is limited, Kobe's passing is also top-notch. He is an all-around puzzle player for the championship team. He may not be able to serve as the core of tactics, but his scoring ability ranks in the top five or even higher in the entire NBA history.

"Ace, please focus on offense..." Coach Kruger can only arrange it this way. Focus on offense and defense without a big center. It really doesn't work! If Kobe is squeezed to rush to the baseline

Basketball, this blacksmith can dunk the ball directly through the eagle's short inside line!

"Hmm..." Liu Mang responded casually.

Let Kobe Bryant score?

impossible!

But it's too difficult. The key is that when O'Neal is not around, Kobe is still very careful to share the ball even if he goes berserk. Fortunately, the rest of the Lakers are really tough today, otherwise the point difference would not have been widened long ago.

To what extent.

See what else is in the system.

It’s useless to have multiple star points and draw skills.

I got a high-level alienation card before...Ao Pang, you're fine, what the hell are you doing?

Originally, when O'Neal was injured, Liu Mang was secretly happy that he could once again beat up the unnamed No. 8 player who sold drinks and became a delinquent vendor after retiring. But now he suddenly wanted O'Neal to play.

The pretentious must-have card has been used to win all the championships during the All-Star Weekend.

There is only one O'Neal star card left, which is not yet O'Neal's peak period.

"System, let's take a look at the attributes after using the O'Neal star card."

"Ding... ability value is 79, three-pointer is 88, mid-range shot is 83, layup is 80, speed is 94, strength is 80..."

Sure enough, the gap between the star card bonus and O'Neal's star card is too big, and it doesn't have O'Neal's brutal talent and skills.

However, it seems that O'Neal does not have the situation that O'Neal has that will lead to poor shooting and the ability value is too high to trigger the bench gangster bonus, and the mid-range shot has been strengthened.

Strength 80.

"What's Kobe's strength?"

"Kobe Bryant's strength rating is 85."

Fortunately, he hasn't reached the strength level of Malone in the three years from 05 to 07.

"Use the O'Neal star card!"

…

At the end of the halftime break, players from both teams returned to the court.

The Eagles did not want a center and directly sent the cavalry combination, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Nubel, and Muhammad to play.

On the Lakers side, Jackson was also prepared. He easily guessed the Eagles' plan to prepare for a last-ditch battle and replaced the smaller lineup with Fisher, Lynch Hunter, Kobe, Fox, and Mark Madsen.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers had the ball.

Fisher pushed forward and handed it to Kobe to open up space for himself.

Kobe received the ball and prepared to continue to attack Liu Mang alone to attract double teams.

At first, Kobe was afraid of Liu Mang's strength, but later he discovered that it seemed that the Spurs guy was really too weak! Liu Mang was probably at the strength level he had during the All-Star Game, which is considered normal for a point guard, at best.

Pretty good, considered excellent among rookies, and can keep up with the level of NBA competition.

But compared with those players with top physical fitness, they are far behind.

Liu Mang's power after triggering the bench gangster was 74, which was a big difference from Kobe's 85.

Kobe rushed towards Liu Mang, no longer using any skills. Liu Mang's defensive prediction was very good and his speed was fast. Kobe directly went to the body this time.

Kobe has already begun to think about the opponent's defense after the strong break through Liu Mang and the choice of whether to pass the ball or shoot...

but!

It didn't have the refreshing feeling of easily squeezing away the opponent in the first half. After Kobe was planning to knock Liu Mang away, he jumped up with two steps before making a decision on his next move. However, just as he was about to take a step, he was directly hit by Liu Mang.

Pushed back!

Kobe did not expect that Liu Mang suddenly became stronger. He was not well prepared and his stride was squeezed and deformed. The key was still his small hands...

A certain number 8 player who did not want to be named stumbled and slipped with his hands, and the ball dropped!

Liu Mang just caught Kobe off guard!

If he had pushed up from the beginning, Kobe would have felt Liu Mang's current strength and would have definitely knocked Liu Mang away with all his strength. But in the first half, Kobe realized that Liu Mang's strength was just like that, and he would inevitably be a little contemptuous, so he was tricked by Liu Mang!

The next thing that shocked Kobe's young heart even more was that Liu Mang pounced on the ball and grabbed it firmly with one hand. When Fox came to grab the ball, Liu Mang didn't even use his hands to steady himself.

Pull the ball to your side with one hand to avoid Fox's harassment!

Liu Mang was secretly excited. Big hands are good!

Jason Terry, who was about to double-team, was stunned for a moment and guarded?
Chapter completed!
