Chapter 205: Toughness (Second update)

Kobe's performance so far can be said to be catastrophic.

On the offensive end, there was a rare lack of presence, and all kinds of shots were missed.

There was basically no one-on-one eating alone, and Gordon stayed with us throughout the whole process to chat without giving any chance.

Although Gordon himself didn't score much, the Clippers' offense didn't rely on Gordon.

The Lakers are different. They lack Kobe's firepower support from the outside and his ability to solve problems when tactics fail.

The Lakers' offense began to become more difficult and stagnant.

At the beginning, they were able to take advantage of the inside to take the lead against the Clippers.

But soon, Gasol became more and more tough on defense.

PJ Tucker found his game mode, crazy defense and fighting.

The second quarter entered the final stage.

It doesn't matter whether your momentum is good or not, whether the home fans are crazy or not, Corvo will take a few singles in a row and immediately silence the away game.

He has always insisted on not having surgery, and the ring finger on his right hand is close to the standard for disabled people.

The number of fouls was up and the Clippers were about to take free throws. Curry made two free throws.

Gasol passed the ball again, and the ball inexplicably reached Bynum, who was standing at 45 degrees.

The shooting percentage started to pick up.

But Bynum took aim after catching the ball and slowly took a mid-range shot.

In addition to the arm problem, the fingers of Kobe's shooting hand are also scarred.

But I held it back, I was a positive person today, so I couldn't laugh.

These guys are not real Lakers fans. They support whoever is ahead and whoever has the most.

For professional players, basically no muscle on the body is comfortable.

This is where superstars like Kobe are important, as they can support the team when it's at a low ebb.

However, Kobe really had no firepower in the first half.

Do you think you can widen the gap with one easy move?

It's impossible, just bear with it.

Without waiting for the halftime break to adjust, after returning from the timeout, Kobe received Artest's pass at the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer!

Then, on defense, Kobe defended Curry one-on-one.

Two consecutive three-pointers, 42:42, the two teams were tied!

Kobe, who had been dark-faced for a short half of the game, finally showed a smile on his face.

After experiencing a series of high-intensity defenses, the intensity of both sides dropped slightly.

Didn't buckle in...

The second quarter is already halfway through.

Just to live the addiction of leading the cheers.

This little discomfort was nothing to Kobe.

Davis faced Artest's defense, threw himself into the air, and succeeded in a layup!

Curry dribbled away repeatedly, but Kobe refused to let go.

But with this ball, Kobe stumbled as he chased the ball near the three-point line and almost fell.

In the end, the referee came to the rescue and caused Kobe to commit a defensive foul.

This is not Bynum's attack range, it is a bit far away from the basket.

The decibel level of the fans in the audience reached the highest level, which was deafening.

This is what makes him both endearing and annoying.

Min Congda laughed so hard that the pizza almost spit out.

Otherwise, this goal is really embarrassing and a loss of points.

People in their 30s never hide their emotions and desire to win just like they did in their 20s.

Even when he was double-teamed by the Clippers in the middle of the second quarter, Kobe made a mistake.

Curry looked a little frustrated. He wanted to show off just now, but why didn't he dunk in?

Kobe didn't want to end the game, but asked the team doctor to bandage it and forcefully straighten the bent finger.

Then, Kobe received a pass from Gasol in the corner, took a three-pointer from behind, and hit it again!

Kobe is such a simple and pure person. If he plays well, his face will be full of smiles. If he plays poorly, his face will be full of black lines.

Gordon quickly grabbed the ball and passed it long to the frontcourt.

Kobe also knew that these referees were afraid of being scolded by Smart Min.

Aren't you awesome? Let's have a head-on confrontation again.

The score stayed at 45:47 for two minutes.

I feel some discomfort in the joint of my left arm, I don't know if it is sprained.

Dunk!

Kobe's problem is that he feels uncomfortable in his arm.

He shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc and hit it!

The Clippers regained the lead.

Phil Jackson asked Kobe if there was a problem, and Kobe replied: "Of course, no problem. I'll just adjust it during halftime."

As a result, the ball was scooped up by Gordon who was guarding him from the side!

Big hat!

The audience stood up, waiting to see Curry perform a dunk.

They are slowly playing their own style of basketball.

Wasn't it just blocked by the basket?

Curry used continuous high-post pick-and-rolls to get rid of Fisher's entanglement.

A very low-level passing error was intercepted by Curry, and then Curry dribbled the ball for a fast break!

Because Kobe made a strong shot at 45 degrees and hit a three-pointer to close the score again.

The fans at the scene applauded Curry, but they were more or less polite.

In this case, it is often time for Kobe to take action to solve the problem.

During a game against the Cavaliers last year, Kobe's finger was severely contusioned at the start of the game, and it was almost bent at a 45-degree angle.

Kobe broke through again, encountered a double team, and passed the ball to Gasol.

Of course, after less than 10 seconds, some fans wanted to take off their T-shirts.

Min Congda and the fans cheered together and felt that it was really enjoyable.

Curry came on as a substitute, but he supported the Clippers' perimeter offense.

Curry caught the ball and passed it to Ricky Davis.

Kobe's condition gradually recovered, putting the nerves of Clippers fans to the test again.

The whole person was a little over the top, and he dunked before he reached the highest point.

A timeout was immediately called to give Kobe a chance to rest and adjust.

When the team is in full bloom, it can increase its firepower and completely destroy its opponents.

Coupled with the great atmosphere at the Clippers' home court tonight, the Clippers are gradually taking advantage.

His face is dark.

On the Lakers bench, Kobe looked very unhappy.

The longer you play, the more this happens. The professional league is very taxing on your body.

This is true in the regular season, let alone the playoffs?

Completely ignoring the possibility that he might fall heavily to the ground.

Good guy, I took off too hard and didn't adjust my posture properly.

Then Kobe scored 13 points in the third quarter, sending the game into garbage time.

In the last three minutes of the second quarter, the two sides once again engaged in high-intensity fighting and defense.
