Kobe made 3 of 8 shots in the first quarter, 6 free throws and scored 12 points, making him the player with the most points in the Lakers. The Bobcats staged a "Everyone loves Raymond". Felton made 6 of 7 shots and added free throws to score 14 points, which was even more eye-catching than Kobe's performance. He was so fast that he could almost participate in the sprint competition. Fisher struggled to defend him. The Lakers were 4 points behind 21-25.

Ye Feng said nothing on the sidelines and carefully observed the game. Jackson was very satisfied with Ye Feng's attitude. It would be easy to understand and improve when reading the game with concentration. If he knew that Ye Feng spent most of his time studying how to prevent Kobe from killing him, he might faint.

Rather than saying that the Bobcats are the Lakers nemesis, it is better to say that they are Kobe. They will send two excellent swingers to defend Kobe in turn, constantly forcing him to cut off his connection with the team. The Bobcats also have Okafor in the inside of the inside, and can basically defend Kobe from shooting outside the three-second zone. The Bobcats rarely attack Kobe with two players. This means that Kobe can often play extraordinary data, but other Lakers players will not benefit from it. In addition to defense, Bobcats will also deliberately provoke Kobe and let him start the crazy attack mode. As long as Kobe is determined to work alone to the end, the Bobcats will have a great chance to win.

Ye Feng concluded that if he wants to defeat the Lakers, he must be a power forward with a strong mobility inside line and do a good job of making up for the pick-and-roll; in the shooting guard position, there must be a player with strong single defense ability to limit Kobe's catch; there must be a center in the inside line who can block the shot.

As for the current situation of the Clippers, they are not qualified except Carman. Carman's offensive ability is not very good, he is just a senior blue-collar worker. Ye Feng himself can be a flexible power forward, but this is not enough. If he wants the Clippers to become the champion in the future, he must carry out a major cleanup.

In the second quarter, Ye Feng came on the court and the Lakers began to show their strength.

After Wallace left the court, the power forward replaced Jay Mario Davidson, averaging 9 minutes per game, with 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds. Ye Feng became the main attack point, and scored 8 points in 6 minutes with 3 shots and free throws. Famar also scored 6 points. Bobcats' substitute forward Jared Dudley performed well, hitting two three-pointers, helping the Bobcats to hold on to the score. After six minutes, 36-34, the Lakers overtook two points, and the two sides replaced the main showdown again.

After Kobe came on the court, he started to attack again. He shot a lot today, but his touch was a problem, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%. The Lakers ended the first half 49-52.

During the break, Ye Feng felt it was necessary to talk to Kobe. After the substitution between the two sides in the second quarter, the defender he faced was the thin Matt Carroll. He could not receive the pass in such a good situation. Whether it was him or Odom, high or low, it was not difficult to beat Carroll.

There is an old Chinese saying that "be polite first and then soldiers". First negotiate with the other party according to the usual etiquette, and then use tough measures to solve the problem when it is not possible. The purpose of Ye Feng's conversation with Kobe is to make himself more comfortable and let the team win, not to quarrel with Kobe and affect the team's unity.

In the locker room, Kobe was sitting next to his locker in a daze. Ye Feng walked over and said, "Kobe, I want to talk to you."

Kobe said lightly: "Tell me."

Ye Feng tried to make his tone calm and humble, and said with a smile: "Today, the Bobcats are very strict with your defense. I think you are too tired to play like this. The person who faced me after the substitution in the second quarter was Matt Carroll. His defense was very bad, so I hope you can pass more balls to me in the second half. If I come to Carroll, I will definitely surpass the score in one fell swoop. If they switch defenses, there will be an advantage to play Lamar (Odom). What do you think?"

After hearing this, Kobe didn't even raise his eyelids and said coldly: "What did you say? I can't hear it clearly."

When a reporter said something Kobe didn't like to listen, he liked to use "I can't hear clearly" to perfunctory the other party until the other party felt ugly and shut up and left. Ye Feng was a little unhappy, so he patiently repeated the words just now. This time he spoke a little louder.

Kobe still said, "I can't hear clearly."

Kobe couldn't hear it clearly, and his teammates could hear it clearly. Everyone in the room stopped chatting and looked at them. Brian Xiao stood aside and swallowed. Jackson had told him that Ye Feng would be dissatisfied with the ball rights sooner or later, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

Kobe continued to sit there leisurely. Seeing his attitude, Ye Feng's heartbeats a little faster and his fire is getting a little bit higher. If Kobe thinks he can deal with Richardson, he can speak to show this. But pretending to not hear him speak, he just doesn't take him seriously. Not to mention teammates, even strangers shouldn't do this. This is the most basic etiquette.

Brian Xiao, who had known Kobe for a long time, did not think so. He believed that Kobe's attitude was not to look down on Ye Feng. On the contrary, he felt that his position was threatened and wanted to maintain his supreme low post.

The atmosphere in the locker room was a little nervous. Ye Feng held back his temperament and smiled slightly. "Kobe, you are the boss of the team, so you should look like a boss. I know what you heard me and understand what I mean. You should be very clear that I have an advantage. Now I will communicate with the coach and listen to his opinions. If he thinks I am right, I hope you can hear what he says."

Kobe still didn't raise his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Feng left the locker room, found Jackson on the sidelines, and expressed his thoughts. Jackson said with a blank expression: "Ye, if you are the leader of the Lakers, do you think you can do better than Kobe?"

Ye Feng replied without thinking: "Of course not. He has participated in more games than I have seen. I can't compare to his scores. But if some of his approaches are incorrect, I think someone should point it out, instead of flattering him, "Kobe is great. When faced with two, three people can even double-team the ball." Isn't that stupid even though he knows that the opponent has put a lot of effort in the defensive end, sets a trap, and has to jump in by himself? Am I wrong about what I think, as a leader, should attack the strongest point of the opponent's defense like him?"

Jackson smiled slightly and said, "Then why do you think I rarely ask him to do what? For example, I have to pass the ball to the inside, and I rarely say this to him when facing double-teams."

"Because you don't want to lose that mind. Being a coach is just to earn tens of millions of yuan in annual salary?" Jackson's face changed, and Ye Feng hurriedly smiled, "Just kidding, sorry. I think that's because Kobe is so strong that he plays like this. If he stipulates what he does, he will not be able to show his strengths, right?"

Jackson smiled and said, "You are really smart, but you are not the ace of this team, so I won't ask Kobe to do anything. If you want the ball, you have to make your teammates willing to pass the ball to you."

Jackson was talking about "teammates", not Kobe, and he woke Ye Feng up in one sentence. He immediately stood up and smiled and said, "Thank you, coach, I understand."

He quickly returned to the locker room, knocked on the cabinet, and whispered: "Everyone, you all heard what I talked with Kobe just now, right?"

Veteran Fisher stood out from his seat and frowned and said, "Boy, what do you want to do today?"

Ye Feng looked around and shouted: "I just want to reiterate it loudly. Matt Carroll, the Bobcats, is a defensive loophole. If he defends me alone, I will definitely be able to score easily. I want to ask everyone, in the second half, did you pass the ball to me who is likely to score easily and win the game easily? Or to Kobe, who was defended by Richardson and Wallace, and let him try his best to find a shooting opportunity? I swear, if the opportunity is not good, I will pass the ball back to you immediately. I believe you, can you believe me?"

Everyone was stunned. Fisher was a veteran who had experienced the "0k combination" era, and he was the most surprised. In the past, O'Neal often communicated with his teammates like this when he was the boss of the locker room!
