The physical movements of the two teams are getting more and more intense.
What is competition intensity?
That’s what it’s called!
How to increase competition intensity?
Physical confrontation!
Pulling, pushing and pushing!
To put it bluntly, it’s about comparing who works harder!
More ruthless than anyone else!
The intensity of the game instantly increased to playoff level.
The referee's whistle also kept sounding.
Kobe kept causing fouls to Warriors players, and Warriors players also frequently caused Lakers fouls by attacking the basket.
Kobe is indeed very powerful, but he can't beat four hands with two fists, and a hero can't stand up to the crowd. Every Warriors player takes turns attacking the basket and drawing fouls, which makes the Lakers even more uncomfortable.
After a while, the Lakers had already committed five fouls in a single quarter.
Any further foul will result in a free throw.
Even if they are all fouls caused by physical fighting, the Warriors are much better than the Lakers in terms of physical strength.
The Warriors players are relatively young, while the Lakers have more veterans.
The Warriors have several players taking turns attacking the basket and drawing fouls, while the Lakers rely more on Kobe alone.
No matter how great Kobe is, he is not made of steel and will still get tired!
The Zen Master quickly called another timeout.
We can't be so defensive anymore.
The restricted area is still the most important place and must not be lost.
However, although the Lakers committed a lot of fouls, they still recovered 2 points through Kobe's scoring surge and the team's defense during this period.
The defending champion is the defending champion, and the strength is still there!
After the timeout, the Lakers' three-point defense was not as ruthless as before.
When a Warriors perimeter player receives the ball in an open position, the Lakers players still have to pounce, but they only take small steps and stop when they get in front of you.
You don’t know if I want to jump anyway!
Just give you some interference.
Deng Fang had expected this a long time ago.
You committed five fouls. The penalty area was completely messed up by us. You will definitely not dare to attack again after the timeout!
Then vote!
Throw you to death!
All players are not allowed to hesitate when receiving the ball, just one word - throw!
You can only have eyes for the basket!
Suddenly, arrows rained down from the Warriors' side again!
After the game has been going on for so long, everyone has become more active, their hands have warmed up, and their shooting percentage is even higher than before!
The Warriors' three-pointers came one after another.
Curry was flanked and unable to score, but his assists kept rising!
The entire third quarter turned into Kobe's scoring show VS Curry's assist show!
I have to say that Kobe's scoring ability is really strong, especially when he plays hard.
At the end of the third quarter, the two teams were tied.
The point difference is still 15 points!
Kobe scored 21 points in a single quarter!
Curry has 10 assists in a single quarter!
Soon, the fourth quarter began.
Kobe still stayed on the court.
It looks like Kobe is going to fight!
Bynum and Kobe fought with a group of substitutes.
The Warriors still came on the bench, but Deng Fang replaced Anthony Morrow with Azubuike.
Azubuike's job is to limit Kobe.
Lagabell has already committed five fouls. The one who can defend Kobe and has enough physical strength is Azubuike.
Young and in good physical condition!
Entering the fourth quarter, Kobe's scoring efficiency dropped a bit.
There is no way, after all, he is in his thirties, and Kobe also played more than thirty minutes!
In the past, this was Kobe's entire battle time.
The Warriors' bench defense isn't bad either.
Livingston and Azubuike are both strong defenders, and Livingston is also good at defense.
Even Radmanovic is very familiar with Kobe. With his experience and height, he can also give Kobe certain restrictions.
However, the ideal is always full, but the reality is very skinny.
Once Kobe shows off his power, no matter who comes, it will be difficult to guard him.
In addition, it was a bit difficult for the Warriors' bench to score, so the Lakers used this time to recover a few points.
After six minutes of playing, the Zen Master called a timeout.
Not for anything else, just to let Kobe take a breath.
Continuously fighting without rest, Kobe spent too much time during this period.
After the timeout, both teams replaced their starters.
This is the time for the final decisive battle.
In order to match up with the Warriors, the Lakers did not play Bynum, but asked Gasol to play center and Odom to play the fourth position.
This is also the lineup the Lakers often use at the last minute.
The flexibility is better and the offensive space is wider.
After the Lakers adapted for a whole game, Curry's off-ball movement was basically ineffective.
And Zen Master has also learned well. As long as Curry is playing pick-and-roll, he will double-team Curry!
The sooner you realize this truth, the better it will be!
Facts have proved that the Zen master is quite smart.
Curry kept passing the ball to open teammates.
It's just that the teammates' touch has cooled down, and their shooting percentages are not as high as before.
Fortunately, it's not easy for the Lakers to score.
Lagabell's defense was still fierce, and Kobe's physical strength had dropped a lot, making it more difficult for him to score.
No matter how good the technique is, it still requires a certain amount of physical support.
Laga Bell and Azubuike, two defensive heroes, fought with Kobe for a whole game!
Although Kobe didn't play too much, the intensity of this game was very high.
More than four minutes passed, and the point difference only narrowed by 3 points.
The score became 101:96!
There is one and a half minutes left in the game.
The Lakers are in some danger.
Kobe's eyes sparkled again - we are the defending champions! We must not lose this game!
After receiving the ball, a triple threat, Lagabell's center of gravity shifted slightly, and Kobe immediately bent down and rushed forward with the ball.
Lagabell quickly backed away.
Unexpectedly, Kobe pulled the ball back, collected the ball and was about to shoot.
Seeing that he was shaken, Lagabell quickly stopped and reached out to block Kobe's shot.
However, this time Kobe made another fake move!
As soon as Lagabell's toes left the ground, Kobe put the ball away.
Lagabel knew something was wrong, but he had already jumped up, so he had to stop his hands and try his best to control his body not to jump forward.
But Kobe will not miss this opportunity.
This is the moment he has been waiting for!
Kobe jumped up in the direction of Laga Bell and threw the ball in the air.
Although the posture was a little distorted, the basketball still flew towards the basket.
I have to say that Kobe's ability to adjust is really strong.
I dare not say anything about open shots that are not being guarded, but I have never been afraid of difficult shots that are being guarded!
Lagabell couldn't change direction in the air, and Kobe deliberately moved forward to meet him, and the two immediately collided.
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
The basketball hit the net.
Two points are valid, plus one free throw.
At the same time, Lagabel committed six fouls and left the field!
Lagabel looked unwilling and stepped forward to argue with the referee.
I have controlled myself not to rush forward, and Kobe has also jumped forward!
That's when he hit me!
The referee completely ignored Ragabel.
The referee also warned Lagaber and told him to leave the field quickly, otherwise he would be charged with a technical foul.
Deng Fang quickly had Lagabel pulled down and pushed back to the locker room.
If the referee blows this kind of ball, you can only recognize it.
The original rule is that it is advantageous to attack.
The offensive player will be fine with the same action, but the defensive player will be called off.
In addition, Kobe is not an ordinary player, he is a super giant!
The star whistle is almost the default unspoken rule of the NBA.
What's more, it's super giant!
If you are to blame, blame yourself for being deceived!
Kobe stood up from the ground, glanced at Laga Belle who was walking away, and snorted softly.
An extra free throw was scored, and the Lakers recovered three points.
