The Basketball Court Swordsman

In the last 2.5 seconds of the first quarter, Kobe received the ball from the right horn of the court. Standing in front of Kobe is Ray Allen who replaces George on the field. Although he is also a member of the 96 Golden Generation, Kobe's athletic form is indeed better than Ray Allen.

"Black Mamba" looked at the timer on the backboard, his upper body flickered, and then drifted and shot under Ray Allen's close defense.

Ray Allen tried his best to defend Kobe, but unexpectedly the referee's whistle sounded, accompanied by the sound of the Nets rolling, the buzzer was 2+1!

"Kobe Bryant, he almost supported the Lakers offense by himself!" Kenny Smith stood up with excitement. Kobe's performance in the last few minutes was really exciting.

In the cheers of the audience shouting "MVP", Kobe made a steady free throw and helped the Lakers move the score to 21-25 before the start of the second quarter.

As Henson expected, "Black Mamba" showed his fangs. Ray Allen reluctantly walked off the court, no matter how many times he played against Kobe, Ray Allen was unwilling to this kind of unreasonable goal. On the Lakers bench, everyone was reveling happily, and the fans in the stands were even more excited to regard Staples as a big dumping scene.

After scanning so many people, the on-site photographer gave Henson a close-up. He was pulled to 21-25 by the Lakers in a 12-point lead. Presumably the Chinese coach must have a displeased look at this time.

Although the Pacers are still leading by 4 points, but from another perspective, the Lakers' performance is so poor that the Pacers are only leading by 4 points. Henson will definitely not be happy.

However, when the camera is aimed at Henson, you can't read any emotions on his face.

Ray Allen's unwillingness, the joy of the rest of the Lakers and the excitement of the fans... no matter what the emotions, at least everyone responded to Kobe's beautiful goal just now. But Henson, he didn't.

Henson is not pretending to be calm, he is not the kind of coach who likes to pretend to be calm. It was because of Kobe's beautiful goal that really didn't make waves in Henson's heart.

Kobe scored 13 points in the first quarter of the game. Excluding the 4-minute non-scoring time and the 2-minute rest time in the middle of the game, Kobe scored almost 13 points in the half of the game. In the second half of the game, Ray Allen defended Kobe most of the time.

Although Ray Allen would not become a defensive colander like Nash, Henson admitted that he did not expect much of his defense. So Kobe scored so many points, Henson is not surprised. Fortunately for Henson, Kobe made 0 of 3 shots from George today...Although the sample is too small, it is not enough to illustrate George's defensive effect. But at least, Henson has the confidence to contain Kobe.

Containing Kobe... This kind of thing Henson couldn't even think of before. In the past, when playing against the Lakers, Henson's strategy was to contain others and let Kobe attack alone. But today, Henson also intends to contain Kobe together!

"You did a good job in the first quarter. We almost paralyzed the Lakers. Think about it. The Lakers scored 21 points in the first quarter and Kobe scored 13 points. It is said that Kobe alone carried the Lakers offense. It’s not an exaggeration. So in the second quarter, our goal is very clear to limit Kobe’s play! George, your defense in the first quarter was very successful, and I hope you can keep it.” Henson finished, rushing to George He blinked his eyes.

George nodded silently, he wouldn't let Kobe score such a difficult 2+1 goal!

The electronic buzzer sounded and the battle continued. Kobe frowned and stepped into the court. Kobe, who had just been fully fired, would not stop there. But what makes Kobe a little afraid is that his opponent has changed from Ray Allen to the tall and arm-length 24...

Just three years into the league, George has shaped his NBA image: a three-point shooter, a good backcourt rebounder, a counter-attack dunk, and an inside cut. And, it's still a one-on-one "single defense monster"!

George grew up in California and played in Los Angeles before college. So like many people of the same age, George is a fan of the Lakers and Kobe.

But unlike others, George has more than pure worship of Kobe. What's more in his heart is the heart that wants to defeat the strongest in Los Angeles! Therefore, George has been insisting on the road of basketball!

You said George also wears size 24? Please, George wears size 24 not because of his worship of Kobe. He has been wearing a size 24 jersey since elementary school, and Kobe was still wearing a size 8. The reporter also asked George this question, and George’s answer was “You should ask Kobe why I learned to wear size 24, hahahahahaha.”

It is such a California boy who has been aiming to surpass Kobe since he was a child. Today he finally got the opportunity he dreamed of!

At the start of the second quarter, the Lakers first attacked. The three superstars of Nash, Howard and Gasol have completely turned into decorations, and everyone has focused on Kobe.

George opened his long arms and wrapped them in front of Kobe. Howard came to cover, but George went around the pick and roll very fast!

With Kobe's current physical condition, he can't compete with George. After being stopped by George again, Kobe decided to play alone! Back-up singles, this is one of the reasons why Kobe can still become the league's most terrible scorer at the age of 34! In the first quarter of the game, Kobe used his back technique to hit Ray Allen a lot.

But this time, when Kobe turned over to shoot, he couldn't see the basket at all, but only the big palm that covered his eyes and the "24" like himself.

"Hey!"

"Kobe shot wide! He did not continue his scoring momentum!" The commentary was in a mess.

"Yes!" Henson gritted his teeth, he knew he could trust George! Kobe was on George and made 0 of 4 shots!

The Lakers quickly withdrew from defense. Except for Kobe, everyone else seemed to have turned into a running machine.

George and Paul made a cover and forced Nash to defend in front of George. Seeing the opportunity formed, Paul directly handed the ball to George, and his performance time is up!

"Damn it!" Watching Nash forcing the dislocation to defend OGeorge, Kobe couldn't do anything. Because if he leaves, Paul will immediately get a chance. Inability to do anything is Kobe's most annoying feeling.

Paul George was outside the three-point line, moved to the right, and then flashed to the left! Nash, who was defending him, didn't react at all, turned around and saw him, it was too late!

George sprinted to the basket, Horford pulled the "Warcraft" away. Howard didn't dare not follow. After all, Horford had already made a mid-range shot and a three-pointer in the first quarter. At the basket, only Gasol can guard. But George's speed is very fast. Before Gasol's block came, a high layup jumped into the net and got two points!

No. 24 scored, but not the Lakers' No. 24!

"The score has been pulled a bit further, let's see how Kobe will respond." Kenny Smith was right, to see how Kobe will respond, not how the Lakers will respond.

Because the Lakers couldn't make room, Kobe fell into singles with the ball again. He originally hoped to use a rhythm change to flash out of the shooting space, but he did not know that George's defense was dripping! This is the first time Kobe has played against George this season. He can't believe that this guy has grown to this point!

But in order to block Kobe's shooting, George's center of gravity has also moved forward. Kobe seized the opportunity to make a breakthrough, and finally scored a layup in a fierce physical confrontation and successfully continued for the Lakers.

The fans in Los Angeles cheered and their hero scored again. Henson is also cheering, because it is getting harder and harder for Kobe to score. In the second half of the game, how many of these goals can Kobe score when he is sick?

Although the Lakers scored, the Pacers' offense was still fast enough. The attention of the Lakers players was on Paul, but Horford handed the ball directly to George who rushed through the half. In a chasing counterattack, facing Kobe, who was half a head shorter than him, and facing his once idol, George changed into a fake move on the spot, then suddenly pulled up the center shot, raised the knife and fell, and the basketball went into the net again!

"A goal scored on Kobe's head! Haha, George's offensive methods are dazzling this season! No wonder, Coach Henson will ask for thirty-two draft picks! Did you see that? He faced It's Kobe!"

In the previous goal, George's breakthrough score relied on speed.

?

The latter goal, the jumper with the ball chasing him, relied on his height and shooter qualities.

Paul George, he had already become an offensive kaleidoscope unconsciously. On the offensive end, George can continue to pressure Kobe. On the defensive end, Kobe faced George, a "single-defense monster" and it was not easy. Looking at the 24th in front of him, Kobe even felt that he saw his young self...

Kobe's momentum was suddenly suppressed, after the second quarter, Kobe did not score any more goals. One is because D'Antoni allowed Kobe to rest for up to five minutes, because Kobe is still coughing. Secondly, it is because of George's excellent defense that Kobe's offense has repeatedly hit a wall.

You know, Kobe is never afraid of difficult shots. Sometimes this will allow Kobe to save the team, but sometimes, especially at a time when the Lakers are depressed, it will make Kobe fall into an iron circle.

13 points in the first quarter and 3 points in the second quarter. 5 of 8 in the first quarter, 1 of 8 in the second...In the entire second quarter, the Pacers only allowed the Lakers to score 12 points! Kobe's finally approaching score was pulled to 13 by the Pacers!

The moment the buzzer sounded at the end of the midfield game, Kobe walked into the player channel very angrily and did not accept any reporter interviews.

The same is true for George, but not because of anger, but because he wants to hurry up and rest. He knows very well that his battle with Kobe is not over yet.

As a result, the reporters had to find Henson Joe with a smug look.

Henson finally smiled when facing the camera. But what he said made the Los Angeles fans unable to laugh.

"After this halftime, I think George's price may be far more than thirty-two first-round picks."

Henson easily turned and left. After containing Kobe, the only thing waiting for the Los Angeles Lakers was basically a failure.
