"Bryant, how do you feel? Are your legs and shoulders a little tight and stiff?" Judy Seto lowered her head and asked while giving Kobe a physical therapy massage. "It's not very good. I feel like it's done.
After the movement, my body felt a little weak, as if all my strength had been suddenly taken away." Kobe replied to Judy Seto while sipping a sports drink.
"Judy, how is Bryant's body feeling?" Gary Vitti walked to Judy Seto and asked.
"The situation is a bit bad." Judy said: "Bryant's calves and knee joints have obvious swelling, and his shoulders and biceps are extremely stiff and tight. This is mild rhabdomyolysis syndrome.
The physical consequences of strenuous exercise under such circumstances. I will try my best to help him relax his muscles and restore muscle elasticity, but the effect may not be too obvious."
"Yeah." Gary Vitti nodded. He knew that what Judy said was the truth, but now it would be harder to get Kobe to end than to reach the sky. So after thinking about it for a moment, Gary Vitti said: "
Try your best to get a good physical therapy and massage, if nothing else, just don’t let it get worse.”
"I understand, Mr. Vitti." Judy Seto nodded, and then concentrated on massaging Kobe.
For the Thunder.
"Kobe is so difficult to guard against. His whole body is full of fake moves. I have never encountered such a person before!" Harden said while replenishing water: "Sapo, you are working too hard!" "Haha~ It's okay.
Fortunately, the goal given to me by Coach Brooks is not to prevent him from dying, it is enough to limit him." Thabo Sefolosha said with a smile.
"Sapo, have you ever played against Kobe Bryant in his prime before? I'm talking about the time when he was just starting his solo career." Harden asked. "Yeah, at that time I was still a young kid, just entering the game.
League, I don’t know how to play professional football at all.” Thabo Sefolosha replied. “But fortunately the Bulls only faced the Lakers twice a season, and Kobe’s condition was average in those few games.
So I’ve earned it.”
What he said is basically true. During the 2006-08 season, Kobe Bryant played against the Bulls in 4 games, but his performance was "extremely poor". Let alone 30+, he didn't even have a 20+ game. The highest one was only 19.
points, and the remaining three games were all 18-point scoring performances. This was definitely a very rare moment in Kobe's "one-shot era." You must know that in the 2007-08 season, Kobe averaged 28.3 points per game, the regular season player in the year he was crowned.
MVP award. What about the 2006-07 season? Even more terrifying, 31.6 points in a single season, including a monthly score of 40+ in March! What kind of concept is this? The great Joe has never achieved this in his career.
honor!
In terms of scoring stability, needless to say, after 1984, Qiao Shen was on his own, and Kobe was not as good as him. But when it comes to scoring explosive power, even if Qiao Shen came, he would have to be defeated. Because in Kobe's career
He has scored 4 times a month and averaged 40+ points per game! Yes! You read that right, 4 times! This number is the only one after 1984! There is no other one! And in NBA history, except for Kobe Bryant,
, only two great gods can do it, one is Chamberlain and the other is Baylor.
What? Are you asking if Qiao Shen has not won a season in which he averaged 37+ per game? Unfortunately, he has not!
This is not to say that Qiao Shen is not good, it only means that Qiao Shen’s scoring stability is better, which is different from what No. 24 of the Lakers is good at.
This shows that Kobe's explosive scoring power is terrifying.
After 1984, the first person had absolutely no doubts.
But for such a person, he really had no outstanding performance against the Bulls in those years, which is really puzzling.
Therefore, Thabo Sefolosha happened to have never met "Peak Kobe", which also reduced his intuitive feeling towards Kobe.
But just because he hasn't seen it doesn't mean that no one else has. The person he's seen the most in active service is now sitting on the bench of the Thunder.
He is Derek Fisher.
"Derek, you and Kobe have been teammates for a long time. Do you think Kobe was much better at his peak than he is now?" Harden didn't know where the interest came from, and suddenly asked Fisher. Fisher looked at it.
Harden waited for a while and replied in a low voice: "It's too strong. I think you'd better not know, otherwise you will lose your self-confidence."
…
The break is over and the fourth quarter officially begins.
Tang Qian was replaced because the score was already close and it was the final quarter, so of course Mike Brown was replaced.
The first three minutes were like an iron fight. "Bang bang bang~" came and "bang bang bang~" went. The shooting percentages of both sides were frighteningly low. Bynum and Gasol only made 7 shots combined.
2 hits, with a shooting percentage of less than 30%. This made Mike Brown's initial plan immediately come to nothing. Fortunately, the Thunder also had a poor touch. Westbrook continued to be controlled by Kobe. He took 2 shots, all of which were iron-clad. It seemed that
Tonight, he couldn't escape Kobe's defensive curse.
Seeing this, Scott Brooks took the lead in changing his tactics. He replaced "Old Fish" Fisher and replaced James Harden. In this way, the Thunder team formed an offensive lineup with top outside firepower. Durant +
Westbrook + James Harden, this kind of outside firepower, except Miami? Who in the league dares to speak out and dare to fight hard?
Sure enough, the Lakers' perimeter defense soon had problems. No matter how strong Kobe was, there was only one person who could barely block Westbrook. It was already considered very lucky. Now add James Harden,
The Lakers' wing immediately collapsed. Ramon Sessions was completely unable to control Harden's personal impact. He made 2 of 2 shots and 2 free throws. With a 100% shooting rate, Harden scored 7 points in a row.
The beating almost made Ramon Sessions dizzy.
However, this is not the most fatal thing for the Lakers. The most fatal thing is that Harden's free throws were earned from Andrew Bynum. As a result, Anzhu's personal foul reached his fifth.
The only solution was that Mike Brown had to replace him again.
"Tang, come on, try your best to help Kobe with screens and help outside players with the ball. Do you understand?" Mike Brown shouted loudly before Tang Qian came on the court.
"Oh, okay." Tang Qian replied casually, but what he was thinking was completely different from Mike Brown's arrangement.
Are you kidding? If you don't attack, won't you waste this silver-level ability card? And now that the team can't open the offensive end, it needs someone to score stably. If you can't attack, who can?
But of course he would not say these words to Mike Brown. He just walked up and passed by the nunnery owner who came down.
The two of them didn't even exchange the most basic high-five, and just missed each other.
This scene was quickly recorded by many dedicated reporters.
For a full 5 minutes and 17 seconds, the Lakers' offense was weak. Except for Gasol and Bynum each scored a goal, the only one who scored too much was Kobe. However, his shooting percentage was not good either, just mediocre.
He made 1 of 4 shots. It can be seen that as the game progresses, his physical condition has become worse and worse. His jumping height and movement speed have both been reduced by at least one-third. 71-81, Lakers
The team is 10 points behind its opponents.
Damn it, my body feels worse and worse! This damn rhabdomyolysis syndrome!
Kobe reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Tonight's game made him feel even more difficult.
He glanced at Gasol. The Spaniard's condition was also not good. In order to keep up with the Thunder's rapid rotation, the Spaniard's physical fitness was also in a hurry. Gasol's physical fitness was originally among the Caucasians.
It's pretty good, but unfortunately this season, he was affected by plantar fasciitis, so his physical fitness declined much faster than usual.
At this time, Anzhu, the newly promoted All-Star center, is needed to score, but he sits on the bench at this time and cannot play a dime of role.
Looking at this huge Chesapeake Energy Stadium, Kobe suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart.
It's very small, very weak, but it really exists.
After all, the Black Mamba is no longer young and energetic.
At this moment, a voice with a slight oriental accent suddenly said next to him: "Mr. Black Mamba, please rest for a while. The team will rely on you to reverse the situation later." Kobe heard this and suddenly shook his head.
When he turned around, he found a yellow figure standing behind him.
Positive, tenacious and confident.
…
"Kobe, do you really want to continue doing this? If it doesn't work, we can..." Gasol said with some worry, because now the game has entered the fourth quarter and he cannot afford any mistakes.
.
"Believe him." Kobe glanced at Lakers No. 29 and whispered: "We all need to take a breath now."
"Chinaman, you're here again? Do you think it's good luck that it can happen twice in a row?" Serge Ibaka saw Tang Qian walking into the paint and quickly approached him. For this No. 29, he
He didn't have any good feelings at all. He took away the honor of being the league's shot-blocking leader that should have belonged to him. This alone was enough for the Congolese to dislike Tang Qian.
The NBA is an extremely competitive league. If there is no hard personal honor, it will be easily replaced.
So when Iba looked at Tang Qian, he was very angry, and all his athletic abilities were secretly mobilized, just to perfectly block this Oriental, this Chinese guy!
"Brother, you really have a bad mouth." Tang Qian was not afraid and said despite the other person's words: "Don't you know that the word Chinaman is an insulting word? I call you Congolese.
, will you be happy?"
"You bastard, how dare you scold me???" Serge Ibaka suddenly opened his eyes wide and yelled at Tang Qian.
"Uh~ha~ Look at it, you can scold me, but I can't say that to you? How can there be such a truth in the world? Do you think this is the Congo?" Tang Qian looked at Ibaka, his eyes gradually dimmed.
He said coldly: "I'm telling you, just because of your words tonight, I'm going to beat you up!"
"Blow me up???" Serge Ibaka laughed strangely and said, "Who do you think you are? Can you do it?"
"Whether it can be done or not, let me tell you the truth!" Tang Qian began to block the position and ask for the ball, preparing to beat his opponent hard.
"Chinaman! What a fart! Have you forgotten that I almost blocked the ball just now?" Ibaka said.
"That's an assist, Congolese guy." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he received Kobe's pass and turned around to take action.
"Bullshit! You're such a crappy turning move! You still want to hit me? Labor and management will blame you right now!!!" Ibaka said loudly and disdainfully when he saw Tang Qian's actions. In fact, it wasn't just him.
He thought so, and all the fans in the stadium also thought so. After all, the quality of this turning movement was extremely poor, and it didn't give him much room to take action.
And the shooting point is so close to Ibaka. Under normal circumstances, 70 to 80 percent of the time, it will be a big hit.
He averaged 3.7 blocks per game in the regular season, which is not a deserved reputation!
But Tang Qian was well prepared, and in this game, he made a "new term" in the NBA, which is the famous "ceiling hook." What is called a "ceiling hook" is that when doing this action, it is completely illegal.
Instead of the normal hook practice, he directly hooked the basketball in his hand toward the "ceiling" and used an arc equivalent to a high throw to avoid the block of the athletic defender.
As soon as the ball came out, everyone was shocked, but soon, people showed disdain and ridicule, because in their opinion, it was absolutely impossible for this kind of ball to enter the basket!
The Thunder's home commentator, Grant Long, even joked that if such a ball could go in, he would buy a large jam pizza for each person in the audience. Soon, Grant Long regretted it.
I said these words myself, because the crisp sound of "swipe~" passed through the loudspeaker and directly hit the eardrums of everyone present.
Tang Qian scored his sixth hook in the game and scored again!
