"It seems...the Lakers are stronger without Kobe and Gasol??"

Kenny Smith let out a strange sigh.

Since 2004, the Lakers and Kobe Bryant have been deeply integrated. Would the Lakers without Kobe still be called the Lakers?

But now.

The audience in front of the TV also had this idea.

Magic Johnson frowned and complained to Jeanie Buss: "What is Phil Jackson doing? Why isn't he playing Kobe?"

At this moment, in another room in the club, Jim Bass was also complaining: "How could Kenny Smith say such a thing?"

No matter how Jim Buss and Jeanne Buss fight, Kobe is the unshakable flag in their hearts.

The game continues.

Phil Jackson made no personnel changes.

The Mavericks launched a fierce attack.

However, the Lakers showed unexpected tenacity. Their defense was extremely tenacious. From position 1 to position 5, it can be described as the use of all three armies.

Therefore, the Mavericks' main players moved in full force, and instead of narrowing the score, they expanded it.

Fanci and Bynum have found a real tacit understanding. Although their cooperation is not as dominant as O'Neal and Kobe, it is enough to deal with Dallas, not to mention they have three good helpers beside them.

The third quarter is over.

81:77.

The Lakers went ahead by 4 points.

Pause and go back.

Andrew Bynum was particularly proud. He proudly boasted on the bench: "I have been in the Lakers for so many years, and today I found the real me."

He played 6 minutes in the third quarter and scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

The efficiency is astonishingly high.

It can be said that he controlled the paint area.

Fan Xi scored 5 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal in these 6 minutes, which is extremely comprehensive.

Their magical performance embarrassed Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant at the same time.

Kobe Bryant now faces a very cruel question: Do I still want to play? In what capacity?

Phil Jackson is also facing the same problem: how to let Kobe legitimately play as a leader.

At this moment, Andrew Bynum suddenly shouted to Phil Jackson: "Boss, I think our lineup has performed so well, so we should be allowed to keep playing. Maybe it only takes less than half a quarter of the game."

What about the Mavericks hitting garbage time?"

Forehead….

This is so crazy.

Phil Jackson was about to remind Bynum not to be too proud.

Kobe was already speaking next to him: "Andrew, I don't believe you can beat the Mavericks into garbage time in half a quarter."

Bynum raised his eyebrows: "Kobe, I am not the same person now. Jack and I are very close. We can defeat any opponent. Just like in the offseason, if we are together, we will sweep Hollywood."

hehe.

Kobe sneered.

He slowly put on his coat.

This time, Phil Jackson knew what to do.

The young man is arrogant and domineering, so let him suffer a little.

Therefore, the Lakers simply did not change the lineup.

Normally, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides will change their rotations.

But since Little Shark is so confident, let him back it up. At worst, Kobe will be asked to correct the chaos later.

Beep!

The whistle blows and the game continues.

The Lakers did not change their lineup.

Dallas made a change, and Nowitzki, who played all three quarters, returned to the bench.

Jason Kidd's position was also replaced by Jason Terry.

At this time it's Tyson Chandler, Shawn Marion and Stojakovic, plus Stevenson.

This is a fast offensive lineup that favors running and bombing.

When Rick Carlisle saw that the Lakers' lineup had not changed at all, he had a bad feeling at the time.

Five seconds later.

Fan Xi hit a 3-pointer.

Fan Xi quickly reached the frontcourt with the ball. Before Jason Terry could react, he subconsciously shrank inward, waiting for Fan Xi's breakthrough. Fan Xi shot his second shot of the game directly one meter outside the three-point line.

A three-pointer.

Whoosh!

hit.

The point difference widened to 7 points.

The Mavericks didn't expect it and were beaten at the beginning.

Mark Cuban, who was behind the bench, just sat down and quickly stood up again. He cheered the players. He is a good boss.

However, looking back, Jason Terry singled out Fanci.

He was known as the Jets when he was young, but now he can't jump at all. He was the boss of the Eagles for a short time, but now he just took off and shot... Bang!

Fan Xi flew above his head and slapped the basketball down.

Basketball captured by Matt Barnes.

Fan Xi grabbed the basketball and passed a long ball to the frontcourt. Dunleavy grabbed the basketball, took off and shot, all in one go.

Whoosh!

Another three-pointer.

Opening 13 seconds.

The Lakers' lead expanded to double digits.

Rick Carlisle was stunned.

He quickly reminded the players to stabilize their rhythm and not to attack recklessly.

But they have a small lineup, and if they stabilize, they will die.

It took Jason Terry 16 seconds to pass the basketball to Marion due to Vanhee's entanglement. Marion is not a person who is good at controlling the ball. He is a walking defensive forward.

boom!

His breakthrough floater missed.

Bynum, who was in high spirits, yelled, jumped up to protect the rebound, and passed it to Fan Xi.

Generally speaking, the Lakers, who have a tall center, should settle down and play position.

However, Fan Xi went against the norm and launched an attack.

He rushed forward like lightning, changed direction beyond the three-point line and passed Jason Terry, went straight into the penalty area, and soared into the sky against Marion's defense.

After all, Marion is getting old. He was known as a hacker in his early years and can no longer intercept the young and energetic Fan Xi in the air.

He turned slightly to the side... Boom!

Fan Xi used a dunk to widen the point difference to 12 points.

Dallas was at a loss at home.

Originally they were evenly matched, but in the last game they still dominated the Lakers.

In this match, there was no way to fight back?

They didn't even replace Kobe?

Rick Carlisle had to change the established playing order, and he quickly replaced Nowitzki on the court to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Kobe Bryant is embarrassed."

Kenny Smith said this again on TV: "He didn't play, but the team got better and better."

Barkley smiled. He has always been a bit of a hacker. He said, "Maybe it's because the Lakers are becoming more and more efficient."
Chapter completed!
