Legendary star

Chapter 775 Desire
Although the record of the Lakers in the regular season this season is still a bit behind that of the Pacers, but in terms of the depth of the team, the Lakers are no worse than the Pacers at all. In the final, the Spurs with the GDP combination were easily eliminated, so at the beginning of the second quarter, Phil Jackson was very relieved to send a full bench lineup.

Before Paul Gasol and Ron Artest joined, not to mention the rotation lineup, even the main lineup of the Lakers was very unbearable. The few starters of the Lakers at that time were affectionately called by Kobe fans. For the immovable CBA, but after the Lakers robbed Paul Gasol and exchanged for Ron Artest and Derek Fisher at a very small price, this group of immovable CBA They ushered in a freshman, from the starting lineup to the bench, the large reduction in playing time, the weakening of responsibilities and pressure on the shoulders, but let them play on the bench, becoming a well-known bench bandit in the league.

Due to the absence of Andrew Bynum's injury, Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, and Vladimir Radmanovic played off the bench, although the Pacers' The bench lineup is also very strong, but under the frantic acceleration of the Lakers' bench, the bench lineup led by NN-Hilary and Chris Duhon has rarely fallen behind.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers were still leading by 2 points. After the two benches finished the first few minutes of the second quarter, they were still behind by 3 points. The main lineup had to make efforts to recover the score after the start of the second half of the second quarter.

"Meng, I know you, you will definitely not shoot the ball this time, but pass the basketball after swaying back and forth, right, so I won't stick to you so tightly this time, pass the ball quickly Come on, little baby!" Meng Xu, who just got the basketball after coming on stage, heard Kobe's sarcasm, and after Kobe finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders at Meng Xu.

Kobe very much hoped to have a solo match with Meng Xu, and the one-on-one battle between Meng Xu and Kobe in the last few rounds of the first quarter really made Kobe feel very comfortable in every pore, but with Kobe against Meng Xu knew that he would not continue to play like this, so after the main lineups of both sides returned to the field, Kobe kept provoking Meng Xu, trying to provoke him.

"Kobe, I know you. You must be afraid of me passing the ball, so you said that on purpose, right?" Running position, Kobe is in very good condition today and has a strong desire to score. He scored 13 points in the first quarter. Victory always comes first. When it’s time for me to stand up and score, I will of course do my part. Besides, let my teammates perform as well as they should. If I arrange everything well , It's too easy for them to get their salaries of tens of millions of dollars.

Ignoring Kobe's next provocation, after making a pick-and-roll with Jermaine O'Neal, Meng Xu passed the basketball to James Posey who ran out of the open space, and James Posey who received the pass from Meng Xu Finally made his first shot in this finals. Compared with the previous seasons, Posey's performance in this season is much worse. For James Posey in the contract year, It's not a good signal. If James Posey's performance in this finals still doesn't improve, it will be difficult for him to sign another long-term contract during the offseason.

Kobe, who was hot in the first quarter, did not feel cold because he sat on the bench for a long time. After James Posey made a three-pointer to tie the score, Kobe immediately responded with a The CIC helped the Lakers lead the score again.

"Kobe felt very good today. He made a mid-range shot just after playing in the second quarter, increasing his personal score to 15 points. It seems that Kobe is going to score 3 or 40 points today." Commentary Michaels on the bench was also a little surprised by Kobe's touch. Normally, after sitting on the bench for more than ten minutes like Kobe, his touch will definitely fluctuate after he re-enters the court, but Kobe's first experience after re-entering the court In one round, the shooting touch did not cool down.

"James has done a very good defense just now, but Kobe still made the shot." Reggie Miller, sitting next to Michaels, while excused James Posey, also revealed in his words Out of appreciation for Kobe, although when they were players, Reggie Miller and Kobe did not deal with each other very much, but after Reggie Miller retired, all the grievances of the player era disappeared, and Michael Jordan Can shake hands and make peace, what else can't let go.

"I think Kobe is going to get a high score in the Bankers Life Arena today." Although Magic Johnson has always been a fan and supporter of Meng Xu, as a legend of the Lakers, Magic Johnson has a lot of respect for Meng Xu in Sri Lanka. Taps, breaking the scoring record in a single game in the finals created by the famous Lakers Elgin Baylor has always been very unhappy, so in the previous finals, Magic Johnson always looked forward to Meng Xu can break this record again in the game against the Mavericks or the Spurs, so that the Lakers can step back from this humiliating record stand. Of course, if there is a Lakers player, in the finals against the Pacers, he can break the record. After breaking this record, it would be even more perfect to return to him in the same way, so when Kobe showed an excellent game state and fiery shooting touch in today's game, Magic Johnson was right. Kobe had a little more expectation.

"15 to 7, 15 to 7, 15 to 7..." After the shot was made, Kobe ran up to Meng Xu when he was retreating, afraid that Meng Xu would not know that he had already scored 15 points yes.

"Let's make waves, let's make waves, let you have a good time." For Kobe's tireless provocation, Meng Xu was not in a hurry to respond to him. The first half is not over yet, so there is no need to worry. That's the real laugh.
