The game started with the Hornets' starting lineup of Chris Paul, Peja, Peterson, West and Chandler.
On the Lakers side are Fisher, Kobe, Zhang Zhiyuan, Hayes and Bynum.
The two teams jumped the ball, and Chandler, the spring man, gave the ball to his side without any suspense, and the Hornets attacked first.
Paul carefully controlled the ball, looking for opportunities.
Although the coach said that the focus of this game was to drive a wedge between Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan.
However, wouldn't it be better to win while provoking their relationship?
This possibility is very low, but Paul has not thought about it.
Paul patted the basketball, Peja made a cut, Paul hit the ground and passed the ball, but Kobe didn't react.
Peja caught the ball and made a layup.
The Lakers attacked and Fisher controlled the ball for half the game.
Kobe leaned against Peja and stretched out his right hand for the ball.
But Fisher didn't give it. He found that David West had left Hayes behind and hid on Kobe's side.
As long as the ball is passed, Kobe will immediately cover it with his backpack, making it easy to lose the ball.
It's a pity that Kobe didn't see this.
He only saw Fisher pass the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Dog stuff."
Kobe cursed secretly.
But he didn't scold Fisher, but Zhang Zhiyuan.
In the past, when there was no Zhang Zhiyuan, the relationship between him and Fisher was pretty good.
After Zhang Zhiyuan came, Fisher alienated him.
Kobe had reason to suspect that Zhang Zhiyuan was behind the scenes.
Zhang Zhiyuan singled out Peterson. He first faked a shot, shook Peterson and then immediately broke through.
Originally, Peterson could adjust his center of gravity in time to catch up with this kind of ball. He often did this when guarding others.
Peterson also doesn't understand why his condition declines every time he plays against Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan got to the basket and scored with a throw.
2 to 2, an ordinary start.
When the Hornets attacked, there was a change of pace when Paul dribbled the ball. Fisher reached out rashly and tried to steal the ball, but it was empty and his body shifted forward.
Paul avoided it, completed the breakthrough, brought it inside the three-point line, made a mid-range jumper, and the ball went in.
"He should practice three-pointers more. What a great three-point opportunity just now."
Smith commented.
Just now, Paul got a good chance to take a shot after shaking Fisher away. Unfortunately, Paul is not good at three-pointers, so he had to take two steps inside.
"Yes, the entire league should practice three-pointers, you damn Zhang Chui."
Buckley said with disdain.
"..."
Smith.
On the court, the Lakers are attacking.
This time Kobe received the pass, but he was immediately double-teamed.
Kobe had no space to dribble and no chance to make a shot, so he could only angrily pass the ball back to Fisher.
He didn't understand why the Hornets were so crazy, they were double-teamed just after the game started.
Fisher passed the ball to Hayes again, but it was too late for West to retreat and cover up the defense. Hayes took an open shot and scored.
His current offense only has one move, the open jump shot.
If thrown to other teams, he might not even be able to average 3 points per game.
But for the Lakers, one trick is enough.
4 to 4, the Hornets attack.
Chris patted the ball for a moment and then passed the ball to West.
West turned around against Hayes, but failed to break through and jumped directly on the spot.
This opportunity is not good, and West is trying his luck.
The ball didn't go in.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan ran away from Peterson, then caught the ball and shot.
The ball didn't go in either.
Turning around, Peja seemed to be returning the favor and reciprocating the favor.
However, Chandler was ignorant and just grabbed an offensive rebound in the crowd, took off the second time and dunked the ball in.
It's no accident that the Hornets are ranked second in the Western Conference this season. Their starting lineup is indeed very good.
Needless to say, Paul Peja West is a star player.
Although Chandler is not well-known, his defensive ability is quite good.
6 to 4, the Lakers attack.
Kobe made a move, and Peja followed closely.
Kobe finally shook it off and faced West again.
West is an inside player. Kobe would like to ask why this guy stands on the outside and looks down on Hayes?
Fisher passed the ball to Hayes, and Hayes continued to take action. He was extremely happy.
Unfortunately, the ball didn't go in.
Not a big problem, the Hornets attack.
Paul and Peja played a cover tactic. After Paul started the breakthrough, Fisher made up the defense. Then Paul distributed the ball and Peja took the ball and scored a three-pointer.
It's 9 to 4. The Hornets are more than twice as good as the Lakers.
But the game has just begun, and this score doesn't mean anything.
Afterwards, the two sides played for a few more rounds. The Hornets' touch was declining, and the Lakers took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.
13 to 10, the Lakers are still behind.
Kobe was angry.
Of course, the reason he was angry was not that the team was lagging behind, but that he didn't score.
Not to mention scoring, he didn't even have a chance to take a shot.
Peja has been following him closely, and West seems to have taken the wrong medicine, and time and space are targeting him.
"Am I so annoying?"
An idea suddenly popped into Kobe's mind.
Fisher alienated himself, Zhang Zhiyuan kept antagonizing him, and now even his opponents are deliberately targeting him.
Kobe felt that the world was full of malice towards him.
The Lakers attacked and Kobe shouted for the ball.
He had to throw it. He would rather hit more irons than not take any shots in the whole game.
Kobe Bryant's three-point jumper was a sloppy throw.
Naturally, the ball didn't go in, and he almost didn't touch it.
The fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh. This kind of thing is actually very common.
But at this time, Kobe was particularly sensitive and seriously suspected that the fans were also abandoning him.
I just missed one shot. I used to miss five or six shots in a row and the fans were still applauding me and still trusting me...
The Hornets attacked and Peja scored a mid-range jumper.
15 to 10, the Hornets lead by 5 points.
"Hey, does the Wasp have a chance today?"
Smith said.
This is the Hornets' lead.
With Paul's ability to control the field, he can often maintain the team's advantage.
The Lakers counterattacked, and Kobe especially wanted to score.
It's a pity that he has difficulty connecting with the ball, and the Hornets players are always surrounding him.
At that moment, Kobe was wondering if Zhang Zhiyuan had bribed his opponent.
Kobe struggled to grab the position and was directly entangled with Peja. In desperation, Kobe violently shook off Peja's arm. The referee's whistle blew and Kobe was called a foul.
At this moment, Kobe almost exploded on the spot.
Teammates, opponents, referees, fans, none of them are good.
The game continues, and the Lakers still have the ball.
Unfortunately, this is not Kobe's ball rights.
Fisher passed the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhang Zhiyuan scored a jumper, and Fisher assisted 1.
The game continued for two rounds, and Kobe still had 0 points and no goals.
In fact, in previous games, Kobe was often heavily guarded and targeted, but he still had the ball and could make many shots. This kind of targeting could not limit his shots.
But the restrictions are different, and the Lakers have more options.
As long as Kobe doesn't have a good opportunity, Fisher can pass it to Zhang Zhiyuan or other teammates who are open.
As a result, the current situation emerged.
The Hornets attacked and Paul hit a mid-range shot.
Looking back, Bynum caught the ball and scored a layup.
20 to 18.
"Hey, have you noticed that 7 minutes have passed and Kobe hasn't scored yet."
Smith exclaimed.
"What's all the fuss about? Which rule says he has to score in seven minutes?"
Buckley expressed his disdain, but he was actually muttering in his heart that he suspected something was wrong.
You know, Kobe not only scored zero points, but also only took one shot. This was a huge lead.
Jackson also noticed something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't figure out why.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother to think about it. Jackson decided to play at his own pace.
As long as one's own side remains in chaos, the probability of winning is extremely high.
Jackson then replaced Zhang Zhiyuan and Hayes, staggering Kobe and his playing time.
After the Lakers adjusted, the Hornets immediately stopped double-teaming.
Kobe looked confused.
When Zhang Zhiyuan, the nuclear bomb threat, was around, the other party would double-team him. Now that Zhang Zhiyuan was gone, he would no longer double-team him. What was this approach?
For a moment, Kobe couldn't understand it.
But it didn't matter, he just knew that he wanted to take advantage of this moment to brush up the data.
Ever since, Kobe took charge of the Lakers' next offense.
3 out of 7 shots, the efficiency is barely passable.
It's a pity that the Hornets' scoring rate is too high. They shot 6-for-8 right now.
33 to 24, the Hornets have led by 9 points, a considerable advantage.
The Lakers attacked and Kobe continued to throw.
Even though he led the team to a loss of 7 points during this period, he was fearless.
The ball didn't go in, there were 4 seconds left in the first quarter.
Paul patiently controlled the basketball. The Lakers' defense was very tight. Paul couldn't find a good opportunity for a while, so he simply shot a three-pointer.
This ball was a bit of a hit, but the ball went in.
36 to 24.
After the first quarter, the Hornets actually led by 12 points.
"How could this happen? I obviously gave up this game."
Scott couldn't laugh or cry.
I used to think hard about how to win, but ended up losing by 58 points. Now I was ready to give up, but I won by 12 points in a single quarter.
Could it be that all the games I won in the past were due to luck?
Scott couldn't help but doubt himself.
"How could this happen? The Lakers actually lost by 12 points in a single quarter."
Smith complained.
The Lakers haven't had such a bad start in a long time.
"It seems like the Hornets really have a chance in this game."
Buckley said.
cctv.
"Kobe didn't play very well. He only scored 6 points on 3 of 9 shots."
Sun Zhengping commented on the data.
"He should pass the ball more and play more rationally."
Zhang Lili agreed.
Fans of other teams would definitely be anxious if they lost by 12 points in a single quarter.
But the fans at the scene were very calm.
Isn't it just 12 points? What a big deal.
The next quarter begins.
On the Lakers side are Farmar, Zhang Zhiyuan, Ariza, Odom, and Kwame Brown.
The Hornets' side is Janello Pargo, Peja, Russell Butler, West, and Armstrong.
Peja and West took a 2-minute break in the first quarter and were thrown in again.
It was only the second quarter, and Scott went to great lengths to attack the main force.
Mainly because he saw the hope of winning, so he couldn't help but give it a try.
The Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly broke through, and Peja didn't react for a while.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan went to the basket.
Without Chandler under the basket, Zhang Zhiyuan can do whatever he wants.
The ball went in and almost hit 21, but Armstrong shrank quickly.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan was full of energy and followed Peja tightly.
Peja himself played a long time in the first quarter, and now that he has been weakened by Zhang Zhiyuan's attribute chain, his strength is even worse.
He tried running, but found that he couldn't get away from Zhang Zhiyuan.
Seeing this, Pargo broke through to the basket for a layup and scored.
The Lakers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan continued to bully Peja, and threw in front of Peja.
Peja tried her best to take off, but still couldn't cause much interference.
The ball goes in.
38 to 29.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored five points in a row, and Kobe felt unbalanced off the court.
He really wants to be the coach of the Hornets and squirt at the Hornets players.
He wanted to ask the Hornets players, why did Zhang Zhiyuan double-team him when his shooting percentage was so high?
On the court, the Hornets' offense was out of power.
This is a great opportunity for the Lakers.
Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and the Hornets finally double-teamed him.
But Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball to Ariza and easily resolved the situation.
Ariza missed the shot, but it's not a big problem.
As long as the opponent dares to shoot like this, Ariza can keep shooting.
Regardless of how high his shooting percentage is, if he can hit 40%, he can defeat his opponent.
A 40% three-point shooting rate in open situations is not a high requirement.
When the Hornets attacked, Peja had no strength left, so West had to bear the burden of the offense.
It's a pity that he is not a player who can stand alone.
As soon as the Lakers double-teamed him, West didn't know what to do with the ball.
He threw the ball to Russell, who took the shot and missed the ball.
The Lakers counterattacked quickly, but the Hornets did not have time to retreat in time.
When Zhang Zhiyuan reached the Hornets half, the court was in chaos.
This kind of chaos is what Zhang Zhiyuan likes. He received the pass in the crowd, then passed through the gap, went to the basket and dunked.
38 to 31.
Zhang Zhiyuan led the team to quickly chase 5 points.
Then Scott couldn't calm down and replaced Paul and Russell, playing a dual point guard.
Why do this?
No one knows what Scott is thinking.
The Hornets attacked and the players moved flexibly. The Lakers players were really confused for a while, not knowing who to focus on.
Peja then got a chance in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer.
41 to 31, the score difference returned to double digits.
When the offense and defense switched, the defender in front of Zhang Zhiyuan became Paul, so he was not polite and just relied on his strength to attack alone.
Naturally, Paul couldn't hold it on his own, so he took the risk and reached for the ball.
It's a pity that Zhang Zhiyuan has been on guard against this move for a long time.
Six-time steal king, Zhang Zhiyuan knows that Paul is good at this.
Zhang Zhiyuan took a step back, Paul missed, Zhang Zhiyuan launched a breakthrough, and Paul turned around to catch up, but to no avail.
The ball goes in.
41 to 33.
The Hornets attack, and Pago strikes in the mid-range.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan still faced Paul's defense.
This time he changed his method to bully Paul. He no longer used strength to push, but directly used his hand to bully him with his height.
Paul, who is 183cm tall, is 20cm shorter than Zhang Zhiyuan and has a longer wingspan.
Paul symbolically jumped up and reached out to interfere.
Unfortunately, the ball scored.
41 to 36.
The score difference suddenly returned to the safe line, and Lakers fans did not panic at all. Due to various problems, the address has been changed to please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
