The Grizzlies led the Lakers by 16 points in the first quarter, which undoubtedly shut up the Los Angeles media.

Overall, the Lakers' overall performance is more than a star and a half worse than that of the Grizzlies. Bryant tried hard to get the whole team together, but he couldn't. The Lakers, who have three superstars, didn't even score 20 points in the first quarter. What's worse is that it also allowed the Grizzlies to score 34 points......

"The Federal Express Arena is invincible, and the Grizzlies are very competitive here. Link made the Grizzlies' offense smooth with his exquisite passing, and he wasn't just a scorer, he was able to help his teammates while scoring. ”

"It's true that the Grizzlies played more like a team in the first quarter. If the Lakers can't close the score quickly, I think the Grizzlies have a good chance of winning the game at halftime. We all know that Coach Stevens doesn't like to procrastinate. ”

Kenny. Smith and Charles. Barkley is singing about the Lakers, but O'Neal hasn't spoken.

The eyes of the "big shark" were fixed on the Lakers' bench and landed on the calm No. 24.

Is it over? Far from yet! That guy's desire to win doesn't allow him to give up like this!

O'Neal remembers the last season of his professional career, with the Celtics. That year, the aging O'Neal played a total of 37 games, averaging 20 minutes per game. Suffice it to say, he is already an out-and-out bench player who won't have much of an impact on the win.

Once the Celtics played against the Lakers, Kobe and O'Neal met again. In a defense, O'Neal was fouled 2+1 in the face of Kobe's breakaway. As a result, Kobe Bryant smiled playfully at O'Neal after scoring the goal, and then defiantly said, "Remember me?" Big. ”

O'Neal was impressed by the scene, as Bryant became the last man in his career to press at him.

Kobe's words may have been a joke to O'Neal, but he is still so serious in the face of a veteran who is no longer a threat, which shows how strong Kobe's desire to win is.

Therefore, now in the face of a young and vigorous strong enemy, Kobe Bryant is even more unlikely to surrender! O'Neal estimates that if you let Kobe Bryant play in the WNBA, he will beat those girls to doubt their lives, and he will not be soft.

Are the Lakers finished? Maybe that's possible!

After a few words of chatting, the second quarter of the game officially began.

Grizzlies fans are confident that the Grizzlies are now the No. 1 in the West and will certainly not be overturned with a 16-point lead.

But in the first round of defense, Kobe Bryant showed his determination!

Link tried to get rid of Kobe's entanglement, but Kobe wouldn't give an inch! Wherever Link went, when he turned his head, he could always see the face of Number 24.

"You can't get rid of me! I am like your shadow, I will follow you all the time! Kobe Bryant followed the defense and launched a verbal offensive.

Link was only surprised, this was only the beginning of the second quarter, but there were still 3 full quarters to play! Kobe Bryant is out now, what will happen next?

Why do many stars not like to defend when they have good conditions? For example, Anthony, Harden and the like.

Because defense is also extremely physically and energetic, ordinary fans who have played 2K games know that the harder you fight on the defensive end, the faster the physical exertion will be. The faster you deplete your stamina, the more unstable you will be on the offensive end.

Therefore, many people choose to paddle on the defensive end, just to save physical strength and kill all sides on the offensive end.

Playing basketball in reality is much more complicated than a game, but the truth is pretty much the same. In order to maintain firepower on the offensive end, stars such as Harden and Anthony have not been very good on the defensive end.

And Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly consuming himself in advance by doing this now. He knew that the Lakers were already 16 points behind. If you don't fight, you will definitely lose, so Kobe might as well fight with Link to run out of food!

Kobe Bryant's defense is very tough, and as a singles, he has been selected for the best defensive team nine times, which shows his skills.

Once he wanted to, he could make it impossible for all the superstars in the league to eat good fruit.

Conley saw that Link was entangled and couldn't get space, so he called in to cover his breakthrough.

But when Conley made a layup on the inside, he was hit by a pegboard hat after Howard chased him back!

The audience was in shock, and Howard reminded everyone with a flying shot that he is still one of the most physical centers in the league.

In the first round of the second quarter, the Lakers played superb defense. O'Neill looked at the pitch seriously, that guy is about to start, right?

The Lakers fought back, but not quickly. D'Antoni's seven-second offense, in a team with twin towers and singles at its core, certainly won't work.

Darius. Morris wanted to shake off Conley's breakthrough, but Conley's mentality had not collapsed after being chased and bullied, and he was still firmly in front of Morris.

Conley is one of the most emotionally stable players Link has ever seen. No matter what happened, Conley was able to stay calm and collected.

In desperation, Darius. Morris had no choice but to give the ball to Kobe.

Bryant was on the left side of the court at this time, while Link was pulled outside the three-point line on the right side by Tzu Seping. Therefore, Link has no possibility of making up for the defense, and this goal is all up to Iguodala.

Bryant made a couple of tentative steps before speeding up to Iguodala's right hand. Iguodala just took a step sideways, but Kobe Bryant changed hands flexibly under his crotch and broke through to the left instead!

After shaking off a bit of space, Bryant paused, as if he was about to start shooting. Kobe Bryant at this time liked the pull-up jump shot, not the breakaway. So Iguodala raised his weight and prepared to block.

Seeing the moment Iguodala stepped forward, Kobe Bryant suddenly accelerated! At the age of 34, his explosiveness is still not bad! Iguodala was shaken by Kobe Bryant's center of gravity, and he was broken through by Kobe Bryant!

"Nice change of pace! One of the best singles players in the league! "Kenny. Smith has goosebumps all over his body, and there are very few players in this league who can shake off Iguodala by skill!

After breaking through, in the face of Randolph who came to make up for the defense, Kobe Bryant did not slow down, but jumped directly to the basket and dunked with both hands!

As a veteran, Kobe Bryant relied more on technology to win in the later part of his career, and this kind of breakthrough is actually very rare.

But Kobe Bryant was stunned and held his breath and won the dunk on Randolph's head. After the goal, Bryant didn't celebrate too much, but pouted and raised his right fist!

Once this guy starts wanting to take over the game, he can do anything!

"Fortunately, Zach didn't rush up and fight Kobe, otherwise this ball would probably have become a dunk from one person to another. Kobe Bryant pulled one back for the Lakers in a very passionate way, and hopefully his passion can be contagious to the rest of the Lakers. Because even after Kobe Bryant's goal, the Lakers still trailed by 14 points, which is not a small amount. ”

Although Bryant's shaking and dunking are very exciting, Barkley still looks down on the Lakers.

O'Neill still didn't speak, and now, he just wanted to quietly watch that guy's performance!

In the following round, Bryant still wrapped Link to death. Link even felt that this guy's entanglement was not much worse than that of Mr. Tony.

So, Conley handed the ball to Randolph and the Grizzlies continued to play in the low post.

In the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies' interior offense was dominant. But in the second quarter, Howard also significantly increased the intensity. Randolph's back-to-back layup avoided Howard's block, but the ball failed to go up in the face of intense confrontation.

Kobe Bryant ran directly to the front court after seeing Randolph hit the iron, and Link didn't have time to wait for Iguodala to change the defense, so he followed Kobe's side.

Darius. Morris handed the ball to Kobe Bryant before halftime, Kobe Bryant received the ball and made a breakthrough, Link saw Kobe's dunk just now, and hurriedly took a step back.

As a result, after Kobe Bryant got the space, he went straight out of the three-point line!

It's a feint again! Kobe's every step is real and false, and it's really hard to judge.

"What!?" Link gritted his teeth, he knew it was too late for his block.

Whether Kobe Bryant wants to burst out or vote, there is no way to judge! Maybe he broke through the dunk in the last round, but in the last round, he scored three points!

Bryant shot calmly and unaffected. Link had just landed after jumping up to block when he heard the sound of the Nets rolling.

"Kobe. Bryant! His bold shot gave the Lakers 5 points in a row! Link was shaken by Kobe's tentative step and misjudged his intentions, so Kobe seized the opportunity to shoot again! 11 points, and now the gap between the two sides is only 11 points! The Lakers, who have won four in a row, have not given up, and they don't want to roll up and leave at halftime! ”

Next to O'Neill, Kenny. Both Smith and Barkley blew up. O'Neill just smiled slightly, don't get excited, that guy's routine is just a routine.

"Boy, you'd better pray that the ball doesn't go in while I'm shooting, because that's the only way you can fight me." After the goal, Bryant pointed at Link and put down the harsh words.

The Los Angeles man's counterattack, starting on the 24th.
