"Kobe, Kobe, mvp, mvp, mvp..." All the fans stood up and shouted excitedly.
"Kobe Bryant...te..." The DJ at the scene also chanted Kobe's name.
Kobe steadily put the ball into the basket, making the score 2+1!
The Spurs attacked, Leonard missed a mid-range jumper, and Pau Gasol grabbed a defensive rebound.
Steve Blake broke through with the ball. As he pushed Chen Feng away by half a body, Steve Blake felt extremely proud. He successfully broke through Chen Feng's defense line and finally had his own performance.
It's time.
Naturally, he didn't notice that at the moment he started, Chen Feng's right foot had already been slowly lifted off the ground, and when he used his body to open up the breakthrough channel, Chen Feng's upper body had an obvious backward movement and moved.
Move sideways, pivoting on the left toe, and make a 180-degree turn on the spot.
When Steve Blake was immersed in the joy of the breakthrough, Chen Feng had already moved to his right side, and his ghostly right hand struck out like lightning, so he would not miss if his opponent was careless.
Chen Feng completed another beautiful steal. **Vicci sat off the court with a satisfied smile on his face.
When Steve Blake wanted to chase Chen Feng, the Spurs had already completed a beautiful fast break.
D'Antoni watched the game on the court and couldn't help but shook his head.
Kobe singled out McGrady and took advantage of Steve Blake's screen. Kobe withdrew to the three-point line and shot a three-pointer.
For the Spurs, Chen Feng made a pass to Tracy McGrady and hit a high jump shot.
Al Jefferson missed a layup, Pau Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound and then made a tip-in.
Duncan posted up Al Jefferson and assisted Derrick Favors for a layup.
Iguodala missed a three-pointer. Kobe grabbed the offensive rebound, then stepped back from the three-point line and shot a three-pointer. The ball unexpectedly went in.
Slowly, the game in the third quarter gradually returned to how it was in the first half.
Kobe's field goal percentage increased slightly in the quarter. He was crazy and scored 11 points in a single quarter. However, in the face of the Spurs' balanced attack, his personal efforts seemed too weak.
Of the other players on the Lakers, only Pau Gasol performed relatively normally. You can tell the performance of other players just by looking at D'Antoni's face.
87:76, this is the score at the end of the third quarter between the two sides. The Spurs still lead the Lakers by 11 points.
Although 11 points is not a big difference, everyone knows that the home team is going to be in trouble now.
As a team ranked 4th in the Western Conference and 6th in the league, the Lakers did not play very well in every game. The team's ability to fight was very poor tonight. Except for Kobe, the other players did not feel very good.
The beautiful ball passed out cannot be converted into an assist.
The Spurs, on the other hand, played the best in the league tonight. Although the Thunder are currently No. 1 in the league, no one denies that the Spurs are now in this position again and have once again become the favorite to win the championship.
Therefore, due to the inability of the Los Angeles Lakers, tonight's battle between the two teams at the top of the Western Conference has left fans slightly disappointed.
Kobe Bryant scored 39 points in three quarters, which made the fans in Angel City excited. Kobe Bryant, who is in his thirties, has reached the end of his career, but he still has such performance!
Although the home team is still lagging behind, they would rather see the all-powerful No. 24 turn the tide in the last quarter of the game and save the team from danger.
In the first three quarters, Kobe was killing everyone, and all kinds of scoring methods were displayed in front of the fans. Chen Feng, Leonard, McGrady and others could not stop Kobe from scoring.
Three-pointers, dunks, fadeaway jumpers, etc., all excite the fans.
However, on the other hand, it also shows that the Lakers' current offense is too single, and they can only rely on Kobe to score points, thereby helping the Lakers narrow the point difference.
Before the season, many experts criticized Kobe for playing too alone. However, during the season, Kobe took significantly fewer shots and used more to connect the team's offense.
Eight assists in the first three quarters is enough to illustrate the problem. Moreover, Kobe's average assists per game this season is also higher than in previous seasons.
The fourth quarter begins soon!
At present, both sides are basically using substitute lineups on the field.
At the beginning of the final quarter, Pau Gasol attacked the Spurs' basket and squeezed Diaw away for a layup.
For the Spurs, Mills assisted Ginobili and hit a mid-range jumper.
Steve Blake passed the ball to Williams for a layup, but unfortunately missed, Meeks grabbed the offensive rebound. The reverse layup also missed, and Diaw grabbed the defensive rebound.
For the Spurs, Mills missed a shot from beyond the three-point line, and Jordan Hill made a tip-in.
The two sides went back and forth like this. However, the point difference was still more than double digits, which made the Lakers and the home fans nervous.
With seven minutes and 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the game entered the official timeout.
After the timeout ended, both sides successively sent out their main lineups.
Steve Nash made a mistake as soon as he came on the field. When the ball came to his hands, his rhythm seemed to be half a beat slower, and he just subconsciously caught the ball. Naturally, Chen Feng would not let this opportunity go.
At this time, the Lakers' players were quickly heading towards the Spurs' half. There was not a single Lakers player in the Lakers' half. Chen Feng would naturally not miss such an opportunity.
Chen Feng rushed into the Lakers' inside line at lightning speed. His slender body rose into the air at high speed, like an eagle in the sky. His slightly bent body and the basketball held high with one hand. His whole body was like a handful in the air.
A fully drawn bowstring.
The fans at Staples Center looked at what was happening in front of them with incredible expressions on their faces.
"Clang", the huge dunk sound resounded throughout the entire arena.
The Lakers fans couldn't believe their eyes and could only watch the basketball jumping happily on the floor. The ball tube, which was a mess just now, suddenly fell to the bottom, and only a handful of Spurs fans were left cheering.
D'Antoni decisively called a timeout. He never dared to take the game against the Spurs lightly. But he never expected that the Spurs, playing away from home, would actually show such strong strength, leaving the Lakers helpless for a while.
The power to fight back.
**Vicci sat on the coaching bench on the sidelines with a bright smile on his face. The team not only played a smooth offense, but also performed well defensively.
Chen Feng's incredible steal allowed the Spurs to lead another 7:3 victory. Now, the score on the court is 96:83, and the Spurs have a 13-point lead.
When the game restarted, Kobe significantly increased his offensive intensity. In the current Lakers lineup, although there are Pau Gasol, Jefferson and Iguodala, at critical moments, Kobe is the most reliable one. Especially
When others are not performing well, Kobe will undoubtedly have to bear more responsibilities and pressure during the game.
It is not easy to limit Kobe's performance. With the Spurs' current lineup, Leonard is naturally the most suitable person to take on this task.
The Spurs' current lineup on the court: Jordan Hill, Derrick Favors, Leonard, Ginobili and Chen Feng.
Leonard's defensive ability is still very trusted by **Vic. This is definitely the core of the Spurs' perimeter defense.
Kobe caught the ball in the midfield, but this time it was Chen Feng who appeared in front of him. Leonard's full defense made him physically exhausted, especially when facing a player of Kobe's level.
Slowly and rhythmically controlling the ball in his hand, Kobe kept adjusting his body. He tried to find a breakthrough opportunity from Chen Feng, but unfortunately Chen Feng did not give him the opportunity. Although Chen Feng is not the Spurs' perimeter
He is the core of defense, but his defense is definitely not much worse than Leonard's. Especially against the fast defenders, Chen Feng can definitely restrain them, while Leonard is better at head-to-head confrontations.
Kobe kept dribbling the ball back and forth between his legs. Suddenly he started and rushed past Chen Feng from the right. Chen Feng took a step back, quickly moved sideways, and used his body to hold Kobe. Kobe had no
Without space to accelerate again, he can only pass the ball to the outside again.
After Steve Blake received the ball from outside the three-point line, he quickly handed it over to the inside. However, his pass was too careless and Leonard easily intercepted the ball.
Then Leonard made a long pass and the ball quickly flew out of the half court. The moment he passed the ball, Chen Feng already understood his intention and quickly ran back with all his strength.
Although there was only one position difference between the two just now, Chen Feng's forward step had quickly opened the distance, and Kobe's pursuit was naturally in vain.
Seeing Chen Feng succeed in a layup, he waved his fist in frustration.
During the Lakers' offense, Kobe received the ball from outside the three-point line on the right wing, but he had no chance to take action. Leonard had already appeared in front of him immediately. The other Lakers players were in poor condition. Only Kobe seemed to have recovered.
In terms of touch, the task given to Leonard by **Vitch is very simple, which is to limit Kobe's scoring as much as possible.
Steve Blake saw the opportunity and quickly moved to the outside. He made a simple pick-and-roll with Kobe. After Kobe broke into the inside, he decisively distributed the ball to the outside.
After Iguodala received a pass from Kobe, he shot a jumper directly.
The ball went in with a "swish" sound.
People thought that Kobe would attack after breaking through to the inside, but what was unexpected was that he passed the ball and assisted Iguodala to hit a three-pointer. He received another assist.
Kobe is not a point guard, but if he wants to pass the ball, then he will definitely not be worse than those point guards! (To be continued...)
