Of course, there is another reason besides this, that is, the Zen master wants Kobe to experience the fun of passing in this game. Kobe passed the ball a lot in the first quarter, but no one else just didn't make the ball. This hurts the point guard and is also the key reason why traditional point guards are getting fewer and fewer in the back. Traditional point guards have a certain view of the overall situation, but their scoring ability is weak. If his teammates can't make a shot, he can't save the team. Kobe experienced it once in the first quarter. Facing the full malice of Atai and Li Lei, he can only surrender with passing.

"I don't want to pass the ball anymore. I want others to cover me, otherwise we will lose again in this game." Kobe wiped the sweat from his head and took a sip of Gatorade. He played very aggrieved in the first quarter. If he had taken crazy moves and scored 2 points, he wouldn't be so unwilling.

The Zen master nodded, picked up the tactical board, and stroked it a few more times, then asked the assistant coach to tell them his tactics.

In the second quarter, Kobe appeared on the court as soon as the game started. Li Lei and the main players on the Bulls did not play. The Bulls are currently leading by 5 points, so there is no need to hurry.

When Kobe faced Crawford, he naturally played very easily and freehand. The two consecutive goals allowed Lakers fans to see hope.

Li Lei and the starters can only play early. The substitute defense is really a big problem. Kobe scored consecutive points, the Lakers wiped out the score, and the Bulls started.

Li Lei swung one from the outside, suppressing the Lakers' offensive climax a little, and Kobe also felt a little bit. After receiving the pass, he also had a three-pointer on the outside, but Li Lei's reaction was very concentrated. Faced with this non-reversing shot, Li Lei forced his long arm to cover the ball. With a bang, Li Lei and Kobe both fell on the floor.

"oh, the smell of gunpowder on both sides finally got up. Bruce's block and his 210-plus arm span were completely a bug in the backcourt. No matter who he faced, he would probably take up a lot of advantages. Even if this guy only relies on his body, it would not be a problem to stay in the NBA." Mike Bryn could only sigh.

Kobe climbed up from the floor, Li Lei also stood up, President Yu rushed over from the side, trying to stand up for Kobe, but Kobe stopped the opponent. The ball just now, Kobe knew very well that it was a good block. Li Lei did not touch his hand, but the referee could not see it. Even if he played it several times, it was still unclear.

So Li Lei was tragically fouled with a shooting foul. Kobe made three free throws and hit all of them. Although he fell, he still did not become O'Neal.

After this ball, Kobe's defense against Li Lei also became bigger. The two of them were completely up. Li Lei started Capono's three-pointer from the outside. With a bang, Kobe's hand hit Li Lei's hand, but he couldn't stop the basketball from the air, so the ball was still in.

The referee also gave Kobe a foul, and Li Lei retaliated with his 31st.

The Zen master did not call a timeout next to him. He understood a little why Li Lei's shots were fewer than ordinary people, but why the score was not lower than those people. It was because of three points, two three points and two two points. There was 2 points in the middle, and 2 points was a one-time shot.

If Kobe played like this, it would definitely destroy the reaction of the triangle offensive, and Kobe's three-pointer is far less trustworthy than his two-pointer and breakthrough.

At the end of the half, Kobe had already scored 20 points. He scored 18 points in a single quarter in the second quarter. Mamba finally began to become bloodthirsty, but the assists remained at 3 times. Li Lei had 13 points and 9 assists. It seemed that the double-double was close. Because of this, the Lakers were still behind the Bulls.

During the intermission, an old man appeared in the Lakers' box. In addition to this old man, there was also a man and a woman, but the two seemed extremely tense.

"Mickey, what's the success rate if we exchange Kobe and Bruce?" The old man lit a cigar and looked at Kupchek.

"Dad, this deal is not true at all. First of all, I don't think that Asian is better than Kobe. Besides, the nouveau riche in Reinsdorf may not necessarily let anyone go." The man was speaking, but when he finished speaking, a hint of mockery appeared on the woman beside him.

These two people are Jim Buss and Jenny Buss. The old man is naturally the Lakers' boss Jerry Buss. Jerry Buss is actually not optimistic about these two children. He is optimistic about his eldest son, but his eldest son would rather go to the Los Angeles Sparks than take over the Lakers, because the other party knew that taking over the Lakers would mean that he would always be ripped off with those two brainless brothers and sisters. It was so annoying.

The deal between Li Lei and Kobe has only recently occurred. Although Li Lei is an Asian and Kobe is the mainstream, Li Lei’s reputation in Los Angeles is really no less than Kobe. Just because he helped UCL win the NCAA championship last year, it is not something Kobe, the second in command, can compete with him. If Kobe is the boss, that is another matter.

UCLa is not inferior to the Lakers in Los Angeles. Although NCAA's exposure rate is not as high as that of the Lakers, its basketball status is no less than that of the Lakers.

With the impact of O'Neal's injury in two seasons and the rise of the Bulls this season, this idea has arisen within the Lakers. This idea was proposed by Jenny Buss, who is very close to Zen Master. Zen Master thinks that if Li Lei and O'Neal join forces, they will definitely be stronger than Kobe, which will make the triangular offense more three-dimensional. And the most important thing is that Li Lei's existence saves a lot of saliva. He can help his teammates challenge on the court, without calling timeouts or something.

Both Kobe and Li Lei are just victims of the battle between Jim Buss and Jenny Buss, but they are just talking about it for now, after all, Old Buss is not dead yet.

"Boss, I think this deal is infinitely close to zero. Bruce has become a symbol in Chicago, and he will not come to the Lakers to be Shake's younger brother. You should know that in the draft last year, we invited the other party, but he refused."

After Kupchek said this, Old Bass remembered that the latter was silently smoking a cigar and stopped talking. O'Neal's injury and Kobe's growth made the Lakers' Purple Gold Legion even more undercurrents.
