The situation was very bad for the Lakers, and the news the next day was even worse for Kobe.

Many people, including the Los Angeles media, began to denounce Kobe, saying that he did not pass the ball to O'Neal and took too many shots.

It's okay to score without passing the ball. Kobe's shooting percentage in the two games was less than 30%, and O'Neal's shooting percentage was 70%. The gap is too big.

Some fans on the Internet cited the data of Kobe's previous three finals, saying that he was simply unreliable at critical moments.

Against the Pacers in 2000, Kobe averaged 18 shots per game, ranking second on the Lakers, making 33 of 90 shots and shooting 36.6% from the field;

Except for Kobe, the Lakers made 213 of 422 shots, and their shooting percentage was 50.47%.

Against the 76ers in 2001, Kobe averaged 21.2 shots per game, ranking the Lakers second, making 44 of 106 shots and shooting 41.51% from the field; the Lakers other than Kobe made 137 of 283 shots and shooting 48.41% from the field.

Against the Nets in 2002, Kobe averaged 17.5 shots per game, ranking the Lakers second. He made 36 of 70 shots and a shooting percentage of 51.43%; the Lakers except Kobe made 110 of 219 shots and a shooting percentage of 50.23%.

Except in 2002, which is known as the most disparate Finals, Kobe's shooting percentage was lower than that of the team. He at least won the championship when he took fewer shots than O'Neal. This year, Kobe took the most shots in the team. The Lakers were beaten 2-0 by the Nets.

The media came to a conclusion that if Kobe continued to make such waves, the Lakers would almost be swept away.

Of course, Comey would not admit this kind of argument. He posted on the Internet that Kobe was a meaningless fighter. When his teammates were afraid to stand up and score, he assumed more offensive responsibilities and had the strongest desire to win.

As an outside line, the low hit rate seems to be taken for granted. It doesn't make sense to compare it with the inside, because Kobe's shot is much farther than O'Neal. It's a pity that you can't win the game with five best shots. A good shot is the same as an ordinary field goal score.

In addition, Payton was named and criticized by experts. He averaged less than 5 shots per game. He came to the Lakers for the championship in the summer, but his performance did not match his desire to pursue the championship.

Many people want to know what happened in the Lakers locker room. Are the conflicts between players more important than winning the championship?

However, no news came out, and Coach Jackson and O'Neal were silent.

If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence.

Wang Jun's popularity rose again.

The "anti-king" who were attacked did not dare to show their faces in the comment area, and Wang Jun would be regarded as a street rat and everyone would shout and beat him.

Regardless of whether Wang Jun can win the mvp or not, he is an important scoring point for the Nets and a qualified starter.

The most important thing is that Wang Jun is Chinese. The Chinese don't support Chinese players and American devils. Is it sick?

The Nets took a flight to Los Angeles and rested the next day.

Although there is no ban on traveling with their families, the players still spontaneously stay in the hotel to recharge their batteries. Prepare for the game.

Kidd talked to everyone and suggested that everyone should not waste their energy on having fun and welcome the away game in their best condition.

Kidd is a cautious man. He doesn't want to see any accidents happen. On the surface, he kept a low profile, but in reality he hoped to win the third round, so he would be safe.

On the 10th, the fourth battle between the two sides started.

The Lakers' opening ceremony was much more pompous. Lakers meritorious players "Magic" Johnson, "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and "Cobra" Worthy made a symbolic jump ball.

Hollywood movie stars Jack Nicholson, Hoffman, Sylvester Stallone and others also attended the match, and the front row was a beautiful landscape.

After the opening, the Lakers let people see the change.

Kobe reduced his shots and began to pass the ball to O'Neal. He broke through the double-team and immediately distributed the ball, waiting for an opportunity on the outside. Play very patiently.

After losing two games in a row, it will be impossible to return home without working hard.

The Lakers had trouble lobbing O'Neal. The Nets began to defend O'Neal around the front, and the two insiders double-teamed him. Open one corner and let George shoot.

By surprise, the Nets disrupted the Lakers' pre-match deployment in this way.

Kidd is a person who plays with his head. He will predict the opponent's tactics before the game and then give his opinion. Lawrence was adopted immediately as a cheap puppet trainer, to great effect.

Three minutes after the start of the game, O'Neal received a pass from Payton and dunked for two points.

O'Neal worked hard on free throws before the game, but the Nets suddenly stopped "shaking the shark", which made him very depressed.

There is a reason for the Nets to do this. The Lakers have the home court advantage, plus the star whistle. If they cut O'Neal at the beginning of the game, the referee will increase this scale, and it will be difficult to play later games. If you want to chop, you have to try your best to drag it to the last section.

Kobe scored the ball, but the Lakers didn't open it, and the perimeter continued to hit the iron, and the role players fell into a scoring drought. The Lakers shot very evenly in the first quarter, and the problem of not having three points could not be solved.

Kobe continued to play in the second quarter, mainly breaking through and scoring according to the coach's arrangement. He only shot a three-pointer and missed under interference.

He really wanted to win and became selfless, but O'Neal was double-teamed, the Lakers' offense was worse than in the previous two games, Jackson lost his temper off the court, and the adjustment failed.

At midfield, the Nets lead 45-30.

O'Neal, who scored the most points for the Lakers, scored 8 points. If Rush and George each made two three-pointers, this game would be impossible to watch.

Bryant made only one jumper and two free throws to score 4 points.

Zhang Lili said curiously: "This game is a little confusing. The Lakers have to win at least two home games to be able to win the championship. Now they have no energy to play at all, and they don't look like a team that wants to compete for the championship. "

Yu Jia shook his head: "It's not that it's boring, it's that it can't break the zone defense. The Nets are shrinking. The Lakers have to shoot from the outside. Fisher can't find a target in this series. The Lakers don't have a pure shooter at all."

Everyone thought that the Lakers would fight back with a jedi, but they came to a jedi attack, and O'Neal didn't work.

In the second half, O'Neal made a foul and went to the free throw line. Several players stood up and prepared to grab a rebound. Kobe muttered to himself: "I bet a dollar that he won't make a free throw."

Wang Jun beside him answered immediately. "I bet ten yuan that he won't be fined."

When, O'Neal made a shot and hit the iron.

The curse was successful, Wang Jun smiled and raised his right hand, ready to give his teammates a high-five to celebrate, only to turn his head to find that it was Kobe who spoke.

Kobe froze for a moment, looking at Wang Jun like Lu Da looked at Zhenguanxi, feeling like he wanted to chop O'Neill into scorpion, throw Wang Jun's face, and then punch him three times to death.

Seeing Wang Jun's heart fluttering, he quickly put down his hands and turned his head away.

Everyone is in ridiculously poor condition, how can the Lakers win?

Kobe didn't increase his shots until the last quarter when the team was 20 points behind. Made 8 shots, scored 4 goals, and missed all four shots from beyond the three-point line.

Barkley got the point straight: "If you want to win the Nets, you have to compete with them for three-pointers. Without three-pointers, you can't break through the zone defense. Four people all shrink the penalty area. Michael (Jordan) can't break through even if he comes."

Since zone defense is allowed, basketball is different from the 1980s and 1990s. Even a stubborn traditional coach like Sloan has started to let his players practice three-pointers.

The Lakers knew this and made adjustments. They made 27 outside shots and only scored 6 goals. The Nets made 33 outside shots and scored 14 goals. In this alone, the Lakers trailed by 24 points.

93 to 77, the Nets won another away game and won the match point! (To be continued.)
