The God of Basketball

When Kobe Bryant was defeated by Li Zhen, he let go of his obsession and no longer regarded scoring as the most important thing in his life.

He evolved.

If it is said that Kobe in the past was at the stage of no match for wooden swords, flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people.

So now Kobe is a bit like Dugu Qiuqiu, who wins without a sword and wins with a sword.

At the end of his career peak, under the stimulation of Li Zhen, he finally found the highest level that he has been pursuing in his career. He finally has the kind of smooth posture of Jordan's post-three consecutive championships.

From a certain degree, or from a certain moment, he really entered the realm of God.

This made Li Zhen unexpected.

At the same time, it also made Lakers fans unexpected.

Kobe Bryant showed an unprecedented game state, and his whole person was sublimated. In the past, he launched an attack with the ball, and you can clearly judge that his first choice is to attack.

But now...he's passing a baseline assist very quickly.

He has a kind of calmness to assess the situation.

Li Zhen sighed.

He suddenly felt sorry for Kobe. He felt that Kobe evolved too late. If he understands this at the age of 25, his career will have the opportunity to hit the top five positions in history.

Now, he is old.

Moreover, in recent years, he has not polished his passing skills very deeply, nor has he focused on improving his game vision.

Most importantly, he met Li Zhen, who had officially entered his peak period. The two are still in the same city.

This is Black Mamba misfortune!

It's also his luck, he was able to be forced to a better version of himself when his career was about to end, and he met an opponent who could dominate the league, what a blessing for a proud killer!

Li Zhen showed all his energy, he and Kobe had the strongest duel ever.

After Kobe completed a beautiful assist, Li Zhen responded with a neat three-threat jumper.

Then, Kobe entered the penalty area, faked a fax shot to trick Li Zhen into a foul, and made two free throws.

Then, after Li Zhen quickly broke through Kobe's defense and went deep to the basket, he passed to Griffin and hit a jumper.

Neither side held back.

They present the best matchup ever at shooting guard.

From breakthroughs, to triple threats, to post-ups, to passing... It is impossible to find more skilled and purer players than these two among active players all over the world.

Michael Jordan was dancing in front of the TV. He felt very familiar with every move and style of the two of them. He couldn't help but stand up and imitate. His desire to win and lose that had accumulated for many years was strongly activated. He even wanted to exchange all his current wealth for the body he had 20 years ago, and he couldn't wait to join this confrontation.

This is the only time he has had such a strong urge in the years since he retired.

In essence, Michael Jordan was a 100 percent competitor.

He likes to conquer opponents, especially powerful ones.

Since last summer, the league has gradually formed a pattern of separatists, and super teams abound. Boston, Miami, Orlando, Chicago, New York in the east. The Thunder, Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers in the West...The strength of these teams has suddenly increased...It can be described as a big battle.

As a goat in the history of basketball, he knows very well that today's league is more competitive than he ruled in the 1990s.

And once a certain strongman forms a rule in this era of strong men like forests, even if only a three-consecutive dynasty is established. All may threaten his goat status.

Therefore, he wants to be twenty years younger, and he wants to continue to rule in this era.

It is a pity that flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again.

Watching the purest and peak duel between Li Chen and Kobe, he was extremely envious. However, just after imitating a few times in the living room, I found that my old waist couldn't bear it, so I quickly lay back on the sofa.

This matchup representing the highest level of productivity in the history of shooting guards made the audience hooked, and both offense and defense were the ultimate enjoyment.

Even the most die-hard Lakers fans have to admit that Li Chen is already the well-deserved No. 1 player in the league. Because he is not inferior to Kobe in scoring ability at all, and he even faintly suspects of being on Kobe by virtue of his youth and strength.

And no matter how hardcore Clippers fans are, they have to respect Kobe at this time. At the same time, they also had to take a deep breath in their hearts, feeling that if Kobe was a few years younger, Bruce might not necessarily win against him.

"I feel like it's going to be overtime tonight." Aubrey silently wiped his hands, still using Kobe's No. 24 jersey.

Lambert next to him nodded approvingly, and complained at the same time: "There are too few helpers around Kobe."

Uh... This is the familiar "boss tried his best" style.

But this time, Aubrey didn't refute.

Kobe did try his best, and passed the ball as hard as he could.

It's just... I don't know if everyone doesn't like his passing, or because the way he passes is not in line with the habits of his teammates. Anyway, the Lakers didn't play as smoothly as expected tonight.

Similarly, after the rookies of the Clippers arrived in the second half, they also became dissatisfied. After all, this is a group of raw melon eggs. They either have no experience in the playoffs, or they have very little experience, or they... have never been a main force before.

Therefore, the two sides are evenly matched, and it is hard to separate.

Hit to the last moment.

Let's go back to the link that the fans are thinking about. There are still 30 seconds left in the game, the two sides are tied, who will you hand over the basketball to?

Kobe, Bruce Lee.

Those are the two names that will always be at the top of the league.

The whole world knows that Kobe is a cold-blooded killer.

The whole world also knows that Li Zhen often goes berserk at critical moments.

so.

Reggie Miller spread his palms, and he asked Bill Walton: "Now that the two sides are tied, who do you think will have the last laugh?"

"My emotions tell me bruce lee is younger and stronger, he has more firepower. But my mind tells me bryant is more experienced and he has the initiative. He's going to be the winner."

"The most important thing is that Bryant evolved in this game. He deserves to take this victory." Bill Walton expressed his point of view.

Kobe had a triple-double tonight, the nineteenth in his career and the only triple-double in the playoffs.

He played more than James tonight.

He's proven one thing: It's far easier for a top scorer to get a triple-double than...a point guard to get a triple-double.

In the 1988-89 season, Jordan and Magic Johnson got angry and played point guard in 11 games. During this period, he averaged 33.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game, and won triple-doubles in 10 games.

Kobe played more freely tonight than Jordan back then. After all, the god of basketball was going for a triple-double at that time.

Reggie Miller disagrees with Bill Walton. "In my eyes, there is only one real killer in today's league. At critical moments, as long as Bruce has the ball, I think he can hit it. He has this super magic power."

"Based on such a high-level matchup tonight, I think they will enter overtime. Then, the Clippers won a difficult victory with a younger body."

"This is destined to be a difficult series. Both sides are difficult to crack, and judging from the current situation, Kobe's peak period will continue to prolong, and Bruce is growing rapidly. I think it will be difficult to divide the next few years. Win or lose."

Reggie Miller emphasized.

There is no doubt that Los Angeles has become the league's largest competitive area.

It is even possible to evolve a result: whoever wins Los Angeles wins the world.

In fact, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Reggie Miller was already there with emotion: I think this is a bit like the finals being staged in advance. At least the Western Conference Finals are playing out ahead of schedule.

beep!

Mike Brown's final timeout ends.

The Lakers are back on the court.

Mike Brown had a very strange feeling in his eyes at this time. He seemed to see the shadow of LeBron James from Kobe.

This is a very strange illusion.

Because the whole world knows that Kobe has a very different personality from James.

But why did Kobe make such a decision?

Usually, among the superstars, only LeBron James will throw the pot at a critical moment.

Andrew Bynum was also very surprised. He didn't expect Kobe to defy everyone's opinions and give him the chance of the lore thirty seconds ago.

Tonight's game made him realize that Kobe is not old yet, Kobe's fuel tank is full of fuel, and he is far from being able to replace him.

But why did he still pass the ball to me?

The little shark couldn't figure it out.

He walked off the court and handed the basketball to Kobe.

The Clippers' defense was very tight, and Li Zhen was still closely following Kobe.

His gut told him Kobe was going to play something different tonight.

However, Kobe has a bad reputation after all, and no one dares to take risks.

Therefore, the focus of defense is still the Black Mamba.

The coaching team has always believed that it is necessary to attack at the last moment, and Li Zhen agreed.

Time ticks by.

When there were 8 seconds left on the shot clock, Bryant suddenly started.

At the moment he started, Li Zhen quickly pressed, and Li Zhen had no fault in his defense.

However, after all, his opponent was Kobe, who had already reached a peak in scoring. He paused slightly, and with a sideways move, he lightly wiped past the defense, making a huge move in fours and twos.

At this time, Paul George quickly came up to fill his position, and he had already formed a pincer attack with Li Zhen.

But Kobe jumped up suddenly in the cracks, and Li Zhen and George blocked it at the same time.

But it still didn't stop Kobe's shot.

When Kobe quickly threw the basketball.

Li Zhen yelled: Under the basket! !

He is too familiar with Kobe, this is by no means a shot, this is definitely a pass.

However, it was still a beat slow.

Li Zhen's reminder was conveyed to Jordan's ears at the basket, and Bynum also received the basketball at the same time.

The little shark received the basketball and did not forcefully challenge it in, but lightly hooked it.

Gently send the basketball with the sky hook that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has taught him since 2005... This ball carries the hopes of all Lakers fans in Staples, just like they hoped for Bynum.

Everyone's heart hangs in their throats.

After a few tenths of a second.

There was an uproar in the Staples Arena. The basketball went into the rim, but it spun and bounced out.

Jordan quickly took off the rebound at the basket.

And shouted before the opponent came to foul: Timeout! !

There are still 6 seconds left.

The Clippers also have a last-ditch chance.

Even if you miss, you can go to overtime.

Bynum screwed up everything.

He turned an advantaged situation into a disadvantaged one.

The Lakers fans at the scene were extremely disappointed.

Why is the damn ball spinning out? Why not go straight to the Nets.

Opportunities are clearly presented.

Bynum can use the rebound to shoot, such an open space... It's too disappointing.

Kobe has already done this.

well!

Lakers fans are full of distress for the Black Mamba, but also full of disappointment with Bynum...just like Bynum's growth rate. You must know that for Bynum, the Lakers can be said to have given up Jason Kidd, Bruce Lee, and Chris Paul... the result.

But there is no veteran Lakers fan who doesn't scold her.

"It is definitely a mistake that we tried our best to train Bynum. He has never had the potential to become a super center. It is our wishful thinking that he can replace Shaq O'Neal. He is at best an All-Star stroke." Lambert is very Disappointed and said to Aubrey next to him.

Aubrey has an expression I've seen through.

But at this time, an unexpected scene happened.

Kobe on the court didn't even scold Bynum, even though Bynum was cringing and avoiding his eyes. But after Kobe walked over, he reached out and patted his head: You have already completed the lore. It's just bad luck, and it popped up again.

"This is a very delicate cooperation. Come on!"

Kobe encouraged the rookie from the bottom of his heart.

Since being broken by Li Zhen, the black mamba has become lenient. Because he found that there are many ways to solve the problem.

"We can defend this offense."

He emphasized from the bench.

He believed that Li Zhen would definitely solve the attack with his own hands.

It is impossible for him to pretend to be someone else.

"I have experienced his stage. He is now the moment when the epee has no front and sweeps the world. He will never pass the basketball to anyone at a critical moment."

Kobe was very assertive.

Therefore, he asked the team to equip him with helpers to flank Li Chen. As long as his first wave is restrained, the Clippers will be useless.

Kobe was right.

Li Zhen really didn't plan to play against others, even though he arranged for two Griffin, George, and Hayward to play with him.

But he just wanted to kill the Lakers with his own hands.

It's not like sweeping the world.

Mainly want to kill the Lakers with his own hands.

It's just that little George is a little puzzled.

He was a little confused about the boss's linear thinking.

Maybe it's because my IQ is too low.

When Paul George encountered a problem he couldn't understand, he would blame himself. He's a tangled and moody guy, and that's what Griffin taught him.

soon.

beep!

Compared with the whistle, the last 6 seconds of the most exciting and peak game in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs began.
