"Guys, forget about the performance just now, let's continue to follow the tactics and play every attack well!" George Karl cheered the players on.

The emotions of the Supersonic players quickly calmed down. They are a team that has experienced the finals and have seen various scenes. Although they were shocked by Kobe's wonderful performance, they quickly adjusted their mental state.

As expected of a team that has played in the finals, Kobe, who returned to the court, looked at the energetic Sonics players with some emotion. It is rare to recover from Kobe's shock so quickly.

Their offense didn't seem to be disturbed in any way, the ball was passed around, and Jose Hawkins made an empty cut to the basket.

Calmness and stability are their current offensive performance.

The offense and defense switched, the Lakers had the ball, and Kobe passed it to O'Neal under the basket, ready to cut again.

"Don't even think about it!" Kemp rushed over, as if a big wall blocked Kobe's air cut route.

O'Neal took the opportunity to turn his back and pass the Supersonics' big center, dunking at the basket!

Kobe's running position took away Kemp's defense, so that O'Neal was no longer troubled by double-teams, and O'Neal's offense was liberated.

Jim McElvine alone can't defend O'Neal at all. As long as Kobe can pull Kemp's help defense away, for O'Neal, the Sonics' restricted area will be his territory!

George Karl stomped his feet anxiously with two single-handedly incomprehensible stars in front of him.

How to prevent this?

Fortunately, the team's offensive touch has always been good, and the Lakers can't hold back the Sonics' offense.

Kobe once again relied on Campbell's pick-and-roll to singles and switch to Camp.

This is as far as he intended, Payton has already been defeated, and if Kemp is defeated, the Supersonic defensive cage system will be declared broken.

Kemp's lateral movement speed is very fast, and he is not as easy to eat as ordinary insiders. This is a top defensive player who can defend from the 1st position to the 5th position.

But he has the common problem of jumping men's defense, and he loves to eat and shake!

Kobe first took a step outside the three-point line, and Kemp followed closely. George Karl repeatedly emphasized that Kobe should not be allowed to shoot three-pointers.

Bryant suddenly accelerated and broke through to the left.

Kemp supported Kobe with his chest, and his strong legs firmly stuck in the direction Kobe was going.

Kobe was knocked away, took a step back, collected the ball and raised his hand.

"Get down for me!" Kemp soared into the air, but saw Kobe put the ball on his shoulder into his chest and abdomen.

Fake action?

Bryant ducked Kemp's block, stepped forward, stepped close to the three-point line, and shot a jumper.

With two long hits, Kobe hit the ground and punched.

George Karl looked at the confident Kobe, knowing that his cage defensive tactics collapsed at this moment.

Who was the last to break Payton and Kemp's defense?

Michael Jordan!

George Karl stared at Kobe, and the shadows of Jordan and Kobe seemed to overlap.

Do not make jokes! George Karl shook his head, amused by his delusion. Kobe was just a rookie player, far from Jordan.

Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers withstood the Sonics' counterattack in the third quarter.

84:91. The Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a 7-point lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Sonics still let some starters come off the bench, and the Lakers still came off the bench.

In 3 minutes, the supersonic quicksilver attack chased the 7-point difference to 2 points in 3 minutes.

Kobe O'Neal goes into battle, the final decisive moment has arrived!

93:95.

Kobe holds the ball.

Uncharacteristically, Payton did not talk trash to Kobe, and stared at Kobe.

Bryant lowered his body and tentatively stepped forward with his right foot.

Payton was unmoved, with one foot in front of the other and the other stuck in Kobe's right path.

Have a new life? Anti-right or anti-left?

Kobe smiled, hit the ball with his left hand, took a big step with his right foot to the left, blocked Payton with his body side, and directly gained half a body advantage.

Payton retreated steadily. He didn't dare to increase his range of motion, but only dared to make defensive moves while maintaining his center of gravity. He didn't want to be shaken down a second time!

Conservative defense certainly can't stop Kobe! From the moment Payton didn't dare to make defensive moves, Kobe completely defeated the glove.

The half body advantage became one under the acceleration of Kobe. Kobe didn't stop and broke through Payton directly.

Facing Camp's supplementary defense, he shrewdly passed the ball to the basket without looking at Campbell.

Campbell scored a dunk.

"Defend the next ball!"

"Okay!" Bryant's cry made his teammates full of passion.

Bryant led by example, starting to press Payton from the baseline.

Payton was a little out of his mind, and Kobe reacted when he jumped in front of him. Under the tension, Kobe stabbed the ball away.

Kobe picked up the dropped basketball and went straight to the hoop.

Push the ground hard with the left foot, the core muscles are tense after receiving the ball, and turn quickly after jumping up!

Kobe seemed to be hovering in the air, turning the ball continuously and dunking the ball in with both hands!

360° turn around and dunk with both hands!

Under the cheers of the audience, George Karl hurriedly paused.

"Monster, Kobe is a beast!" Goodrich has never seen such a player, who has such a good shooting touch and can contribute such a dunk.

"Unbelievable, talented. This dunk can be used to win the dunk contest." Worthy is also a dunker, and he knows how rare it is to contribute such a wonderful dunk in actual combat.

"I'm already looking forward to Kobe's performance in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest."

Payton had already been beaten by Kobe and lost confidence. He thought of the man who was like the big devil this summer.

The figure of Kobe and Jordan is so similar, which makes Payton full of powerlessness.

Stop dragging.

Kobe took over the game directly.

Shaking the distraught Payton hit a three-pointer.

The empty cut basket made a throw in front of Kemp.

Running without the ball, hit a mid-range fadeaway jumper.

The game became Kobe's personal performance. Under Kobe's example, the Lakers increased their defensive strength and defeated the Sonics, which lost their offensive arrow Payton.

At the end of the game, the Lakers scored the highest score of the season.

Sonics 102:117 Lakers.

Kobe scored a game-high 35 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

O'Neal scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in a satisfactory manner.

Payton had 9 points and 7 assists, but none of the scores came in front of Kobe.

That's right, Payton was blocked by Kobe.

Detlef Schramf made 12 of 19 shots and scored a season-high 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Without him, the Sonics would have collapsed early.

Harris took Bryant to the postgame press conference as the winner.

"Congratulations, Kobe. You won this victory. Your rhetoric before the game, you scored 30 points and the victory was fulfilled. Do you have anything to say?"

"Respect your opponent, respect yourself."

Peyton, who was sitting on the other side, turned green.

"May I ask Kobe, what do you think of Payton's performance in this game?"

"Sucks."

purple.

"You and Payton had a lot of communication on the court, what are you talking about?"

"The gloves I bought last year don't fit well."

Peyton slammed the microphone on the table and left angrily.
