At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 151 G4 Begins

Even Kobe was infected by his courage, and a gleam of luster reappeared in his dry eyes.

"Yes! Lakers championship!!!"

Kobe, who had regained his strength, also let out an unquestionable roar.

…………

On May 5, Game 25 of the Warriors vs. Lakers officially began.

In this game, the Warriors are still at home to meet the challenge of the Lakers.

Before the start of the game, Bryant had clearly recovered from the shadow of the last game.

As the league's top player, he carries the hopes of the entire Lakers team and all fans in Los Angeles, and he must stay calm.

The media also have high hopes for Kobe.

In their view, although they have played three games in the Western Conference Finals, Kobe has obviously not yet displayed his true level.

He was expelled in the first game, suspended in the second game, and he failed to regain his form in the third game. The media are all looking forward to when Kobe will really break out.

After all, before the start of the Western Conference Finals, Kobe averaged as many as 30 points per game. Everyone did not believe that a top player like him would misfire in such a critical game.

"Du Zhe is on the stage! Du Zhe is on the stage!"

As soon as Du Zhe came out of the player tunnel, he was greeted with cheers from the Warriors fans.

Now he is the only true god in the hearts of Warriors fans, and he is the hero of Golden State who led the team to the Western Conference Finals by himself.

Du Zhe just waved to the fans calmly and said hello. He has long been used to such scenes since the playoffs.

And when Kobe entered the arena, almost no fans on the scene paid him any attention.

Of course, this is also normal. After all, this is the home court of the Warriors. If the fans don't boo him, he is already very good. How could he applaud his opponent?

However, Kobe, who has been in the league for more than ten years, will not be affected by such trivial matters.

Today, his eyes are extremely determined, and there is even a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Du Zhe, no matter what, I must win today's game!" Kobe secretly felt ruthless.

As the top superstar in the league, Kobe unexpectedly showed a tragic feeling of breaking the boat.

In this battle, if you fail, you will be benevolent!

The game started soon, and today the Lakers were in charge of defense, and Du Zhe's players were replaced by Artest.

But Lakers coach Phil Jackson can also see from several games in the regular season and playoffs that Artest alone cannot guard Du Zhe.

So he arranged for Kobe to assist in the defense on the outside, and once Du Zhe entered the inside, the one who has already picked him up will be the impregnable wall of "Little Shark" Bynum.

In this match, Jackson set up a net, vowing to trap Du Zhe, the terrifying oriental dragon.

Artest, Kobe Bryant, and Bynum played in turns, putting most of their energy on defending Du Zhe.

But the price of doing so is that it will give other Warriors players more opportunities.

And the development of the matter was indeed the same. Under Du Zhe's restraint, the other players of the Warriors opened fire one after another. Facing the suddenly reduced defensive pressure, their shooting percentage also increased a lot.

For this result, Jackson has long been psychologically prepared.

His original plan was to completely lock down Du Zhe, and then gamble on the poor handling of other Warriors players.

After all, with the exception of Du Zhe, the Warriors are relatively weak among playoff teams regardless of whether they are main players or substitutes, and it is normal for them to have abnormal performance.

But in this game, the other Warriors players performed reasonably well, and they were basically able to seize some relatively good opportunities.

If that's all it is, that's fine.

After all, the Lakers have a deep foundation. Except for Du Zhe, no one can deal with it. The other players are better than the Warriors whether they start or come off the bench.

If Du Zhe can be restrained, relying on the overall strength of the team, he can still compete with the Warriors.

But the problem is, even if the Lakers do their best, it can't completely restrain Du Zhe.

Although Du Zhe's shooting percentage has dropped due to the Lakers' crazy targeting, it has only dropped from an incredible level to a slightly lower level than normal.

As Jackson predicted before the game, the situation where Du Zhe was locked by the three masters did not happen.

On the court, Du Zhe used his speed and running position to get rid of Artest's entanglement, and then cut into the inside.

Kobe, who was ambushing at the side, saw that Artest had lost his position, so he hurried over to help defend Du Zhe.

After receiving the pass from his teammate, Du Zhe simply ignored Kobe's help in defense.

Kobe, who came from the flank, only had a physical confrontation with Du Zhe, who was advancing at full speed, before being thrown aside.

In Du Zhe's eyes, Kobe's confrontation ability is really not enough.

Although he was staggered by Du Zhe, Kobe still gritted his teeth and followed him.

Bynum, who was facing off against Turiaf on the side, also abandoned his opponent at this time and rushed to the basket to protect the frame.

Kobe and Bynum formed a siege one after the other, and Du Zhe seemed to be unable to escape.

But in the face of the pincer attack, he showed no fear, and immediately yelled violently and stood up straight from the ground.

With Kobe behind him and Bynum in front of him, he abruptly completed a dunk.

Kobe and Bynum's 2 clip 1 instantly gave Du Zhe a "2+1".

"This... this is too perverted..." Phil Jackson on the sidelines murmured to himself with an uncertain expression.

Known as the "Zen Master", Jackson felt that after meeting Du Zhe, his mentality became more and more unstable.

Like the ball just now, if Du Zhe only did it by chance, he could still accept it reluctantly.

But the key is that this guy today, facing the Lakers' all-out attack, has scored several such unreasonable goals in a blink of an eye, which makes Jackson feel that he has no reason to reason.

Is it Du Zhe's luck?Or is his own strength too incredible?

Jackson, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, prefers the former.

And Du Zhe also proved with practical actions that his performance was not due to luck. It didn't take long for him to resist Kobe's close defense and forcefully score a domineering three-pointer.

"Like! It's so similar!" Jackson on the sidelines kept muttering.

He was so impressed by Du Zhe's performance that he almost forgot about his responsibilities as the head coach.

Today Jackson saw the shadow of the peak Jordan in Du Zhe.

As a head coach who led Jordan to win several championships, he couldn't help but compare Du Zhe with Jordan at his peak.

Although the two players have almost completely different playing styles and styles, their domineering attitude on the court is almost the same.

In Jackson's view, even if Jordan at his peak came in person, Du Zhe would probably be able to wrestle with him.
