NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

Kobe is the darling of this Staples, and will become a symbol here in the future.

When he played, he naturally gave people a sense of security, believing that Kobe was omnipotent and would lead the team to victory and get the final three-peat.

However, some things are not as simple as they seem.

Lin Lei is also unknown whether the Lakers can win against the Spurs at present.

As soon as Kobe came up, he showed a super offensive stance, and he used his teammates to pick and roll to complete the mid-range shot.

For Bryant's offensive performance, the Spurs are not surprised.

As the first person in the league, it is not realistic to want Kobe to score no points.

So before the game, Popovich said that everyone should try their best to limit Kobe and force him to shoot in an uncomfortable position.

When Kobe's physical strength drops, the hit rate will naturally drop. This is an eternal truth. The Spurs also used this routine in the previous showdown with the Lakers.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. If Kobe was in very good shape that day, and he could have made his shots, the Spurs would have recognized it.

At least from today's situation, Kobe did not feel very hot as before, and the next 283 shots were unsuccessful, while the Spurs played their own style relying on teamwork.

In the process of defending Kobe, Leonard also used his long arms to interfere with him, making Kobe feel cold for a while.

Once Kobe Bryant is eliminated, the Lakers will fall into a difficult situation.

At this time, the importance of Lin Lei in the Lakers team is reflected.

When Lin Lei is on the court, he is the strongest containment point. Once he appears, the defensive players are very nervous, and even 2-3 players can effectively limit him.

At this time, Bryant's offensive firepower can be fully released, and Bryant can shoot easily. It is no exaggeration to say that the year that Lin Lei joined the Lakers was the easiest season Bryant played in these years.

He doesn't have to face so many people chasing and intercepting, and he can easily complete the score in the way he wants to score the most.

This is why Kobe played very efficiently this year, and the number of iron strikes was the least compared to previous years.

But in the playoffs, once Lin Lei was injured, Kobe's treatment was not as good as in the regular season, and everything seemed to return to the past.

Under the restrictions of the Spurs No. 1 players, Kobe was forced to fall into the situation of singles again and again, and when Dayao came out to do pick-and-roll with Kobe, the situation was slightly better, but at this time, once Kobe missed a shot, the blue The next rebound is not guaranteed.

It was almost an endless loop, and Phil Jackson tried to replace many players in the process, hoping to make adjustments.

However, it turns out that Beverley, Artest and other players are really good at catching and shooting three-pointers, but they are naturally worse when facing the monsters Ginobili and Leonard.

So at the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides has come to 59:72, and the Lakers are 13 points behind.

During this process, they played very uncomfortable, a little bit of continuous attack, also relying on individual ability, teamwork, almost no.

Dayao also scored 6 points in a row under the basket, which was considered to stabilize the team, otherwise the game would have collapsed long ago.

When the third quarter was over, the big screen on the scene did not shine on the rest of the Lakers, but directly stayed on Lin Lei's side.

The meaning of this is also very obvious. The Lakers need Lin Lei very much now. Whether they are players or fans all over the world, they are very eager to expect Lin Lei to make an early appearance.

Even the Staples Center on the sidelines has begun to shout Lin Lei's name, much higher than the previous cheers for Kobe.

Lin Lei is naturally very aware of the audience's expectations.

As time passed by, Lin Lei was still a little anxious.

But now this situation does not allow him to play. If conditions permit, Lin Lei can even directly substitute to help the team out of the predicament.

But first, you must first report to the league, and secondly, you must also conduct an injury assessment.

After seeing the audience's request, Kobe's expression became more serious, not because the fans liked Lin Lei, on the contrary, because his performance was not enough.

It was precisely because he was dissatisfied with his performance that Lin Lei needed to appear and made Kobe feel a little guilty, so Kobe silently came to Lin Lei's side and said with a determined expression.

"You take a good rest off the court and I'll take care of everything on the court!

After saying these words, the fourth quarter of the game also started as scheduled. Kobe originally planned to rest for two minutes, which was also arranged by Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson's idea is very obvious, even if the game is lost, Kobe can not play too much time, this is for the sake of his health.

After all, Lin Lei is already injured. If Kobe is injured, the Lakers will have no hope of entering the finals. He will never let Kobe take this risk.

Phil Jackson can still be very clear about which one is more important, the gain or loss of a game, a series or even Kobe's career.

However, Kobe Bryant insisted on appearing, which also left Phil Jackson helpless. The two have been together for so many years. Phil Jackson still knows his lover very well. He is a very stubborn person. One thing, eight cows can not pull back.

In this respect, it is even better than that of Michael Jordan!
