Chapter 158 Kobe's Injury

But Phil Jackson miscalculated after all, after scoring 60 points in the last game, Du Zhe did not show any fatigue.

As long as you dare to give a chance, Du Zhe will dare to hit the ball.

"boom!"

After being resisted by Du Zhe and dunking a goal above his head, Artest's anxious eyes were about to split.

Although he is not a top player in the league, he has won the best defensive player at any rate. It is really embarrassing to be teased by Du Zhe like this.

But compared with Kobe, Artest's situation is actually much better.

At least he doesn't have to face Du Zhe's defense directly!

Watching Kobe running out of breath in every round, he didn't even have a chance to take action in the end.

Artest, who was still full of anger, suddenly felt much better, and even he couldn't help but feel sympathy for Kobe.

Du Zhe's defense was so terrible that Artest would rather die than face it.

But Kobe didn't care what Artest was thinking, he was still running tirelessly.

The word "team" was something Kobe had never considered before.

But Du Zhe's strength is really tyrannical, he knows that he can no longer fight alone like before, he must rely on the strength of the team to have a chance to defeat this guy.

After the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 22:25, and they lost their home court advantage at the beginning.

Although Du Zhe was not as fierce as the previous game, he still played sharply. He scored 7 points on 4 of 11 shots in a single quarter.

And under Du Zhe's restriction, Kobe didn't score a single point. To be exact, Kobe didn't take a single shot in the first quarter.

Kobe, who has always been known to only have eyes for the basket, after Du Zhe's training in a few games, now has no eyes for the basket, only for his teammates.

And the reason why he was forced so miserably by Du Zhe was ultimately because his abilities were completely surrounded by Du Zhe.

Height, weight, speed, strength, jumping, no matter what, Du Zhe is not inferior to, or even far better than, Kobe.

Coupled with top-notch defensive ability and defensive awareness, how can Kobe break free from Du Zhe's Wuzhishan?
As for players like Nowitzki and Stoudemire, their strength is slightly inferior to that of Kobe Bryant.

But in some individual events, they have obvious advantages over Du Zhe. Coupled with their top-notch skills, they also have a certain ability to fight back when facing Du Zhe.

For example, Nowitzki, he can rely on his height advantage and the unsolvable Golden Rooster to independently resist Du Zhe's defense and score points.

Stoudemire can also steal a few points with his top-notch jumping and speed.

Although they will not be very efficient when facing Du Zhe, they still have some ability to fight back.

And Kobe's performance in the first quarter also made Los Angeles fans despair.

They just watched the game through the screen, so naturally they couldn't fully understand the real horror of Du Zhe, nor could they understand Kobe's thoughts and the Lakers' tactics.

Seeing that Kobe didn't take a single shot in the first quarter, many Los Angeles fans couldn't help but complain.

In the entire 6 games, Kobe was suspended for one game, and he did nothing in the remaining 5 games. Even the most loyal Los Angeles fans will be disappointed with him.

In the second quarter, the Warriors came on the bench and gave Du Zhe a short rest. The Lakers got a chance to counterattack and successfully overtook the score.

But when Du Zhe came on the court again, the situation immediately reversed.

Seeing the Lakers being overwhelmed by the Warriors, all the fans in Los Angeles saw it and were anxious.

"Kobe, shoot quickly, Kobe!" Some Los Angeles fans were extremely anxious.

"Du Zhe scored 60 points in the last game. Why is he still so fierce today? Isn't he tired?" Some Los Angeles fans watched Du Zhe score like cutting melons and vegetables, feeling a burst of despair.

Some Los Angeles fans simply turned off the TV and computer, not daring to watch the next game.

They simply were afraid and unwilling to accept that the Lakers might fail.

It is even more unacceptable to accept the humiliation of being the defending champion and being eliminated from seventh place in the Western Conference.

And the Celtics Big Three, who have already won the game, are also facing a formidable enemy at this time.

Du Zhe defeated a team by himself, and the Lakers were overwhelmed. Even if they were as strong as the Big Three, they couldn't help but feel timid for a moment.

You must know that in the finals against the Lakers in 08, they also fought six games contentedly before winning. The scene was not much better than this year's Warriors.

What's more, it's already two years later. They, who were originally veterans, have aged two years, so their strength is naturally not as good as it was back then.

Now, Du Zhe has the momentum to win four games in a row and eliminate the Lakers, how can they not let them feel jealous.

The game between the two teams in the first half was also extremely brutal. The scores alternated leading until the end of the second quarter, and the Warriors had a slight upper hand with 2:49.

And Du Zhe scored three consecutive three-pointers in the second quarter, scoring 2 points, and scored 9 points and 20 steals in the half.

The reason why Du Zhe didn't enter the inside to fight hard in the second quarter was also to save energy.

After several battles, he had to play almost the entire game on average, and spent most of the time on the court engaging in high-intensity confrontations. This consumption of physical strength was undoubtedly very alarming.

So in this game, he still focused on shooting three-pointers most of the time, and chose to enter the inside to make a hard shot.

Of course, Du Zhe knew that not only him, but also other players were not feeling well.

Just like Kobe who was defended by him, Du Zhe could clearly feel that Kobe in this game was much more tired than the previous games.

It can only be said that until now, the game has become an all-round competition of physical strength, technique and willpower.

Now it depends on the two teams, who can't hold this string first.

The first to change was the Lakers.

In this game, Kobe played with an injury. In order to consume Du Zhe as much as possible on the court, he has been operating at a high load.

And Du Zhe's fighter talent is eating away at his little physical strength all the time.

Kobe, who was already injured, how long can he last?

There are only 3 minutes left before the end of the third quarter. Kobe is running desperately as usual in the offensive round of the Lakers, trying to contain Du Zhe's defense as much as possible and create opportunities for his teammates.

Kobe made a very ordinary back run from the bottom line, and Du Zhe followed up just like the net.

In order to get rid of Du Zhe's defense, Kobe made another change of direction, but this simple action became the straw that broke the camel's back.

"boom!"

With almost no physical contact with Du Zhe, Kobe fell heavily to the ground.

Two seconds later, he still didn't get up from the ground, but instead covered his calf in pain.

The Lakers player holding the ball couldn't help but be stunned, and Phil Jackson off the court also noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly found the referee to suspend the game.
