At this time, Stephen's personal score has reached 51 points, while Kobe's is [-] points. Although the Lakers are leading, they only have three points. It can be said that after more than one quarter of fighting, the two sides have returned to the middle On the starting line after the break.

Kobe's playing could not immediately reverse the unfavorable situation of the game. As soon as he came up, his hands were not warm yet, Stephen used a fake move to trick him into a foul, and then sent the ball into the basket, using a two plus one Welcomed his arrival.

For this foul, Kobe was very angry. As soon as he came up, he sent me a foul. Pulled.

But the referee didn't bother with him. After all, the Lakers fouled a lot in this game, and Kobe's reputation made him dare not give Kobe a technical foul at will, so the referee on duty turned his head and pretended not to see it. The way he looked, he greeted Stephen to make a free throw.

Stephen's free throw missed, and a great opportunity to tie the score just slipped away from his fingertips. There is only one point difference. No one dares to predict how the next game will go. , and the battle between Stephen and Kobe is becoming more and more intense.

Stephen pestered Kobe tightly, and Kobe tried his best to move around under the cover of Stephen's defense. In terms of flexibility, he was indeed slightly better than Stephen, but the gap was not obvious. Only at this time did he feel that Stephen The defense against him has once again ramped up the intensity.

It seems that this guy's defense can be improved without limit. However, there have been many "Kobe Terminator", but none of them can completely terminate him. The ball goes to the hoop.

The ball hit the rim for five or six times and finally flew into the rim. Taking advantage of Kobe's negligence, Stephen slid to the bottom line and scored a layup. With this point difference, the Sonics failed to close the gap in 2 minutes. , Derek Fisher's shooting suddenly became extremely accurate, shooting the Supersonics' basket like a series of sharp arrows.

Fisher was originally a point guard who was good at shooting. In addition, facing Ridnour, he has advantages in height and strength, so he can't bully as much as he wants. At this time, Kobe no longer pursues his own goal. Take the shot, but as a bait, and at the same time become an organizer.

"This is a sign of his maturity." Steve Kerr praised Kobe. Indeed, as a team leader, you must trust your teammates. Otherwise, no matter how good you are, you can put a few nails in your body. Learn to make your teammates better. The reason why Jordan is called the greatest player is not that he has created so many records that no one can break, but that he can make his teammates better.

And Kobe is called the second Jordan, not only because of his technical style or height position, but mainly because of his dedication to victory and never giving up in the game. However, there is an obvious difference between Kobe and Jordan in their careers. , as soon as Jordan entered the league, he scored enough honors in scoring before launching an attack on the championship.

But Kobe won the championship first, and then started to move towards personal achievements, and until now, he has not won the most valuable player in the regular season that represents the highest pursuit of players' personal honor. This is also the direction that Kobe needs to work hard .

Because the criterion for judging the most valuable players in the regular season is not how outstanding the individual data of the players is, but how much the player's performance can promote the team. For example, Nash's two consecutive regular season most valuable players, such as Nowitzki's most valuable players in the regular season are all with excellent team records, and his personal data is second.

Kobe averaged 35 points per game last season, but lost to the German Dirk Nowitzki in the regular season most valuable player competition. Just made it to the playoffs.

Although Nowitzki won this award when the Mavericks were overthrown by the Warriors, but no matter what, he won this award, and even if Kobe was second, he was still second. Many experts complained about him, but the selection is fair. This season he has launched an impact on this award, but now it seems that Stephen may be the biggest obstacle on his way to the most valuable player in the regular season.

In terms of personal performance, Stephen's statistics are far higher than his overall. This lead is not only scoring, but also assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks. The only thing that is less than him is the number of fouls and turnovers per game. Compared with Kobe Stephen's passes are less, but most of his passes are anticipating and observing the position of his teammates, as opposed to discovering the blocked offense like Kobe.

Stephen still took most of his shots in his own hands. Although under Kobe's defense, his shooting percentage was not too high, but he still relied on the stacking of shots to increase his score little by little. Steve Cole curled his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything because he was at the home court of the Supersonics.

He doesn't agree with this way of playing, but the performance of the Sonics is here, at least a lot higher than the Lakers. Although they are behind now, the difference is only two or three points. For half a quarter of the game In terms of time, it may change at any time.

Although the time passed bit by bit, and the team is now behind, Stephen is not in a panic, and still adjusts his offense without any haste. While adapting to Kobe's defense, it is also consuming Kobe's physical strength. Stephen believes that Even if Kobe takes a few minutes of rest, he will not be physically better than himself. This is his home court, and he is also younger than him.

For a player like Kobe, pure defense can't limit his scoring, but his physical strength can make him unable to maintain his usual performance. Shooting is a comprehensive action. From your take-off, aiming, adjustment, and shooting, there is a link. Mistakes can lead to misses, and the impact of physical strength is ubiquitous.

Many teams are afraid to fight with the Lakers to the final stage, because in terms of key scoring ability, few people can match Kobe. Watching their own leading advantage being pulled back by the opponent one by one, but they have nothing to do. The method, whether it is for the players or the coach, is a kind of torture and pressure.

Stephen once watched Kobe's similar performance. Indeed, in his opinion, even he himself may not be able to hit so many difficult shots. Of course, if it was Stephen, he would not need to go to such difficult shots. In terms of scoring, in comparison, he has a greater advantage physically.

Listening to Kobe's breathing getting heavier and heavier, and when defending himself, he used his hands and body more often, instead of relying on movements to push people, Stephen knew that he had already succeeded in half, and now All that needs to be done is to chase the poor bandits with remaining bravery, continue to beat down firmly, and keep defeating the opponent.

If you compare a game to a long marathon, whether you are leading at the front or in the middle, you are not really leading. Only leading at the back is called leading. Now what Stephen has to do is to enter the lead and let the opponent Come and catch up with yourself.

When Kobe made another signature backward shot, Stephen used the strength of his jump to the maximum, but because of his physical strength, Kobe could no longer jump as high as before, and his backward range was still so large, so his shot It was blocked by Stephen.

Stephen used a lot of strength, and the ball quickly flew towards the Supersonics' half court, and as soon as Stephen's foot landed, he increased his speed to the extreme, and chased the ball like flying, only to see a white shadow lightning Usually cross the halfway line, and at this time, the other players of the two teams are just getting started.

Fortunately, after the ball fell to the floor, it bounced back into the air, and the forward speed stopped. At this time, Stephen sprinted forward, stepped on the free throw line and jumped in the air, catching the ball with one hand, and flying in the air After as long as [-] seconds, the ball was vigorously poured into the basket. While igniting the enthusiasm of the audience, it also overtook the score.
