No matter what Kobe Bryant had in mind, the Lakers had a great regular season in February, and fans hoped that Jeremy Lin, who would be selected as an All-Star, was completely wasted.

He averaged 21 minutes per game in this series, hitting 1.5 of 6 shots, a 25% shooting rate, and 0.5 of 3 three-pointers, a 17% shooting rate, averaging 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

The reason why Jeremy Lin was able to get so much playing time was that Scott felt that Nash was not good enough defensively, but Jeremy Lin's defense was not much better.

Nash's stats dropped to 10 points and 4.5 assists and he doesn't look like a qualified starting point guard.

The two had to take responsibility for the loss, and Bryant yelled on the court several times, unhappy with their defense.

Westbrook performed amazingly, shooting 15 of 26, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 37 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists; Durant finished with 31 points, 13 rebounds and two assists on 10-of-18 shooting, 3-of-4 three-pointers and 8-of-10 free throws.

Kobe Bryant, who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team several times, will not let the opponent score easily, and this time he defended well, against Sephorosa, and only allowed the opponent to score 2 points; Harden shot just 2-of-11 from the field, 1-of-6 from three-point range, and scored 12 points on 7-of-8 free throws.

The fifth game was played on the Thunder's home court, and they didn't give the Lakers another chance, defending Kobe Bryant alone, guarding outside three-pointers, and winning easily 106-90.

Bryant continued to play the role of a lone hero, shooting 18-of-33, 1-of-6 three-pointers, 5-of-7 free throws, and slashing for 42 points and 5 rebounds. It's a pity that his teammates didn't give Kobe enough support, and the most intuitive performance is that Kobe Bryant didn't have an assist, and they couldn't shoot even if they passed.

The Lakers were eliminated by the Thunder in a 1-4 upset.

Kobe Bryant averaged more than 25 shots per game in the series, the best of both teams; Gasol only had about 10 shots, averaging nearly a double-double per game; Love made 13 shots, averaging 15 points and 12 rebounds per game; The others have made less than 10 shots and have been "sleepwalking" on the field.

In particular, Gerald Wallace, who was introduced by the Lakers in the middle of the game, played 20 minutes, 5.1 points, 3.7 assists and 2.2 assists, a pure blue-collar performance.

After the game, Cormi's reason for the boss was that Kobe Bryant dragged his injured leg for a season, and the bone spur on his foot pierced his shoe. Even so, he still dared to take responsibility, and no one else dared to vote, so he could only shoot.

The reason for the Lakers' loss was that Love and Gasol were in a declining state, unable to grab rebounds in the frontcourt, Rohr Deng and Gerrard couldn't shoot three points, Nash and Love defended the black hole, etc......

The replies online are also interesting.

"Yes, your department is no longer good, your leg is injured too badly, you have to use crutches to pee at four o'clock in the morning, but the lower half of your body is disabled, and your upper body can't stop striking iron."

"Kobe Bryant has one defense on the defensive end, nine people on the offensive end, only the bald referee Crawford can give him a little help, the pressure is so high, and the shooting rate is too low."

"Because Kobe Bryant is injured, he averages 25+ shots per game? If you don't get hurt, don't you use the stadium to stay at home and watch him perform on TV? ”

At the press conference, Byron Scott said that the loss was due to poor defense, but Lefu did not carry this blame, which shows that someone is too lonely, and he is only a role player with the ball, and he should not be responsible for the team's loss.

The blue-collar Rhore Deng, who averaged only 7 shots per game, was more direct: "I wanted to leave the Lakers last season, because of the suspension, I have to go this summer, I can go anywhere, I've had enough." ”

The next day, ESPN basketball experts cited several stats to explain why the Lakers lost.

The fourth quarter of games 2, 3, and 4 were all key moments, and in the fourth quarter of these three games, Bryant's performance was 2-of-7 shooting, 2-of-7 shooting, and 2-of-10 shooting, shooting 25%.

The colder statistic is that when there were 2 minutes and 8 seconds left in the second game, the Lakers held a 7-point advantage at 75-68, and then Kobe Bryant hit 5 consecutive singles and 0 shots, plus two turnovers, the Thunder took the opportunity to tie it to 75-75, and finally Durant threw a quasi-kill, and the Thunder won 77-75.

With 8 points left in Game 4 and 19 points left in the official timeout, Kobe Bryant stepped on, when the Lakers led by 11 points at 89-78. As of 1 minute left in the game, a total of 7 shots were 1 hit, leading the Thunder to tie the score.

In the last minute, there was a passing error by Gasol and Durant's three-point shot, and Kobe Bryant did not forget to steal the spotlight and shoot 1 of 3 to help the Thunder lock up the win......

ESPN came to Kobe's conclusion that he was a cancer, even the No. 1 cancer in the league.

If Kobe Bryant is not a cancer, what will other players have to do to deserve this title?

When Bryant was out, the Lakers players looked like a group of stars, and when he returned, "F7" became "F1".

A reporter found Yang Rui after the Clippers practice, hoping that he could evaluate Kobe.

Yang Rui knows what everyone wants to hear, and tearing is always the favorite of the media, but he didn't say it explicitly.

He replied: "Great players have different ways of being great, like defense, playmaking, scoring, shooting threes, and so on. In fact, there is only one kind of cancer, that is, the person who destroys the team system, everyone judges according to this, don't ask me who is the cancer, I don't count if I say it. ”

This year, Yang Rui didn't want to say too much to offend Kobe or Komi.

The Clippers are no longer inferior to the Lakers in the Los Angeles market competition, ranking among the top three in the league in attendance, and their style of play attracts fans. In Yang Rui's previous life, 12 years was the last playoff game of Kobe's career, and in 13 years, the Lakers reversed the Jazz at the last moment to enter the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant did not play due to injury.

The Lakers lineup is different, the situation has not changed much, as long as the most critical system destroyer is in the team, that is, those who come will not refuse, and they will all become CBA teammates, Yang Rui does not believe that the Lakers can turn over in the short term.

Bryant wasn't as willing to give up the ball and promote a rookie like Duncan. As long as he averages more than 20 shots per game, the Lakers must have the league's strongest interior lineup and excellent three-point shooters to lead Kobe Bryant to victory.

This group of people must also be the "Lei Fengxia" who does not want honor, because the evaluation they get must be to hug Kobe's thigh; If they lose, they will incarnate as "back-stabbers" again, because the evaluation they get is probably that they failed to give Kobe enough support, the defense is too poor, and so on.

Is this leg so easy to hold? Kobe's bone spurs have grown to his thighs, so he has to be afraid of punctures.

In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 4-2 and advanced to the division finals first, and Jennings' pride in eliminating the Cavaliers in six games became a joke.

Millsap performed amazingly in the fourth game at home, hitting four three-pointers in the final quarter, and scored 35 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists to lead the team to victory, once leveling the score at 2-2. It's a pity that Jennings was too bad in the last two games, shooting less than 30% from the field, only scoring 8 and 11 points, and the Raptors regretted being out.

2. In the 3-place matchup, the Pacers defeated the Nets 4-3.

The Pacers have an advantage in the swing man, George Hill also plays well against Delon, and the advantage of the Nets is Yao Ming.

There are always people who say that Hibbert is the "Black Yao Name", and the two are opposed, and Hibbert is not an opponent at all. In the series, Yao Ming averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 49.7% from the field and 35% from three-point range.

Hibbert had just 8 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting 44.9 percent from the field. A big man of 218CM, but he has an outside hit rate, and he was completely blown out.

Although Yao Ming is out, his popularity has not diminished, and his performance in the playoffs is remarkable.

Hibbert also has a chance to prove himself, and if he can face Bosh most of the time in the next series, he will have an advantage in hitting the basket.

If he faced Valejo, he wouldn't have it so easy.
