I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 205 Strong (Second)

Kobe's performance so far can be said to be disaster-level.

On the offensive end, there is a rare lack of presence, and all kinds of shots are missed.

There is basically no one-on-one eating alone, and Gordon will not give a chance to chat with him throughout the whole process.

Although Gordon himself didn't score much, the Clippers' offense did not rely on Gordon.

The Lakers are different, lacking Kobe's outside fire support, and the hard-to-solve ability after tactical failure.

The Lakers' offense began to become more difficult and stagnant.

At the beginning, they could also take advantage of the inside advantage to gain the lead over the Clippers.

But soon, Gasol became tougher in defense.

PJ-Tucker found his game mode, frantically defending and fighting.

Coupled with the superb atmosphere of the Clippers at home tonight, the Clippers are gradually gaining an advantage.

In this case, it is often time for Kobe to solve the problem.

Regardless of whether your momentum is good or not, the home fans are crazy or not, Corvo has a few singles in a row, and immediately silenced the away game.

This is where superstars like Kobe are important, and they can support the team when the team is in a low ebb.

When the team is in full bloom, it can increase its firepower and completely wipe out the opponent.

However, Kobe really had no firepower in the first half.

Even when he was double-teamed by the Clippers in the middle of the second quarter, Kobe made a mistake.

A very low-level pass error was intercepted by Curry, and then Curry dribbled the ball for a fast break!

Kobe chased after him fiercely. If it was replaced by the 20-year-old Kobe, the ball could catch up and give a big hat.

But with this ball, Kobe staggered near the three-point line and almost fell.

And Curry glanced back, no one, show time!
Take off suddenly!

Dunk!

not buckled in...

He was capped by the basket!

The audience stood up, waiting to see Curry perform a dunk.

Good guy, I took off too hard, and I didn't adjust my posture properly.

The whole person was a bit too much, and he shot a dunk before reaching the highest point.

Didn't he just get capped by the basket?

Fortunately, Ricky Davis followed up from behind, grabbed the rebound and made a tip-up.

Otherwise, this ball is really embarrassing and loses points.

Phil Jackson saw that Kobe was in poor form and the team was gradually declining.

A timeout was called immediately to give Kobe a chance to rest and adjust.

The fans applauded Curry, but with more or less politeness.

Curry looked a little frustrated. He just wanted to show one, but why didn't he get it?

Shame, really shame.

Min Congda laughed so hard that the pizza almost spewed out.

But hold back, today is a positive person, you can't laugh.

The score between the two sides came to 36:40, with the Clippers leading by 4 points.

Halfway through the second quarter.

The Lakers' bench, Bryant's face is very bad.

His face turned black.

In fact, it is normal to be in poor form, and no one is in excellent form every game.

Kobe's problem was that he felt uncomfortable in his arm.

There is some pain in the joint of the left arm, I don't know if it is a sprain.

For professional players, basically none of the muscles on the body is comfortable.

The longer the playing time, the more this is the case. The professional league consumes too much on the body.

In addition to arm problems, Bryant's shooting hand fingers are scarred.

He has always insisted on no surgery, and his right ring finger is close to the disabled standard.

For him to go to China, it is not a problem to apply for a disability certificate, and he can get a discount for going to scenic spots.

Phil Jackson asked Kobe if he had any problems, and Kobe replied: "Of course there is no problem, just adjust it later during the intermission."

This little discomfort was nothing to Bryant.

In a game against the Cavaliers last year, Kobe's finger was severely contused at the beginning, almost bent at 45 degrees.

Kobe didn't want to end the game, but asked the team doctor to bandage him and forcibly straighten his bent fingers.

Then Bryant scored 13 points in the third quarter to send the game into garbage time.

This is the case in the regular season, let alone the playoffs?

Without waiting for halftime to go back and adjust, after the timeout came back, Kobe received a pass from Artest at the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer!
Then, on defense, Kobe defended Curry one-on-one.

Aren't you awesome, kid, let's confront each other head-on.

Curry dribbled away repeatedly, and Kobe clung to him.

In the end, the referee came out to make a clearance, causing Kobe a defensive foul.

Kobe shook his head helplessly, and said to Curry: "Your general manager protected you kid."

Kobe also knew that these referees were afraid of being scolded by Smart Min.

The number of fouls reached, the Clippers were about to make free throws, and Curry made two free throws.

Curry came off the bench, but propped up the Clippers' perimeter offense.

Subsequently, Kobe received a pass from Gasol in the bottom corner, receded a three-pointer, and hit it again!

Two consecutive three-pointers, 42:42, the two teams tied!
Kobe, who was black-faced for half the time, finally showed a smile on his face.

Kobe is such a simple and pure person, with a smile on his face when he plays well, and black lines on his face when he plays badly.

People in their 30s, like those in their 20s, never hide their emotions and desire for victory.

This is where he is loved and hated.

The second quarter entered the final stage.

After a series of high-intensity defenses, the intensity of both sides dropped slightly.

Shooting percentages are starting to pick up.

Curry's high-position continuous pick-and-rolls got rid of Fisher's entanglement.

A three-pointer shot from the top of the arc, also hit!
The Clippers regained the lead.

They are slowly playing their own style of basketball.

Kobe broke through again, encountered a double-team, and gave the ball to Gasol.

Gasol passed the ball again, and the ball was inexplicably passed to Bynum, who was standing at 45 degrees.

This is not Bynum's attack range, a bit far from the basket.

But Bynum caught the ball and took aim, and slowly made a mid-range shot.

As a result, the ball was slammed down by Gordon, who was defending from the side!
Big hat!

Gordon quickly grabbed the ball in one step and made a long pass to the frontcourt.

Curry catches the ball and hits the pass to Ricky Davis.

Davis faced Artest's defense, threw himself into the air, and made a layup!

Completely disregarding the fact that you might fall hard to the ground.

In the final stage of the second quarter, the Clippers played a wave-like counterattack climax.

The decibels of the audience reached the highest level, deafening.

Min Congda raised his arms and cheered with the fans, feeling that it was really enjoyable.

He also discovered that some Lakers fans secretly put on the red T-shirts on the seats.

Along with other Clippers fans, scream for the Clippers' tide of fast breaks and counterattacks.

This TM is not a real Lakers fan, support whoever leads, and support whoever has more.

Just to live the addiction of leading and cheering.

For a while, there were more spectators wearing red T-shirts than at the beginning of the show!
"Traitors, MDs are all traitors!"

Of course, after less than 10 seconds, some fans wanted to take off their T-shirts.

Because Kobe made a strong shot at 45 degrees and hit a three-pointer, approaching the score again.

Bryant's state gradually recovered, allowing the Clippers fans' nerves to be tested again.

Do you think you can open up the points difference with one wave of ease?
Impossible, let's endure it.

In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, the two sides once again engaged in high-intensity blacksmithing and defense.

The score stayed at 45:47 for 2 minutes.

In the end, it was Fisher who stood up and made a three-pointer with a 45-degree catch on the right!
Helped the Lakers 48:47 and led the Clippers by 1 point before halftime.

For the Clippers, this game was really difficult.

Min Congda also felt that the Lakers were indeed tough.

In the second half, the Clippers had to make some adjustments.
