Just one day later, the Warriors and Lakers met again in the playoffs, and Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals began.

The Warriors have the advantage of being hosts, and they won the first game again, so mentally, they are not under pressure, and the pressure is on the Lakers' side.

It stands to reason that when the Lakers players played, the fans once again booed enthusiastically.

Bryant was expressionless, and after he got on the court, he pulled the elbow pad on his arm, went to his place, and never moved again.

Chamberlain still won Bynum with a jump ball, he gave the ball to Billups, Kobe Bryant changed his defensive role, the last game he defended was Iverson, this time he took the initiative to defend Billups.

Billups's steadiness and caution are known in the NBA, but he still missed in front of Kobe, and when passing the ball was a little casual, Kobe rushed up directly to cut off the ball for him, and then picked up the ball himself and pushed it to the frontcourt.

The Warriors defended quickly, but Kobe Bryant's advance was faster, Kobe Bryant, who had just come on the court, was full of body, and seemed to enter the rhythm directly, Iverson and Billups both struck, Kobe Bryant first rushed to the front court quickly, and when he entered the restricted area, he suddenly straightened his waist and made a reverse pull posture, counteracting the inertia brought by the breakthrough, and then shook off the two and scored easily.

The Warriors then counterattacked, Chamberlain asked for the ball in the high post, Gasol and Bynum were already thrown away by him, he jumped up and shot, but it didn't feel good, the ball hit the hoop and bounced back.

Bynum received the rebound just in time, he passed the ball to Fisher on the perimeter, Iverson rushed up to cut the ball early, and then he fired back at Kobe Bryant, all the way to the box, and sent the ball into the hoop with Ibaka's cover.

After the victory, Iverson landed and smiled at Kobe: "Hey, No. 24, what about your defense?" ”

NBA-level stars, the body is extremely energetic, Iverson took a total of two seconds from steals to layups, Kobe Bryant reacted really fast, but it is impossible to prevent Iverson in this situation.

But Iverson didn't need to spur Kobe Bryant, because the Black Mamba's determination to fight today was enough to make them tremble.

seems to be in response to Iverson, after Kobe Bryant arrived in the front court, he immediately asked for the ball from Fisher's hand, Billups stepped forward to interfere, Kobe made a step feint, and then retreated, Billups followed forward, and Kobe, who had been accumulating for a long time, finally broke through this time!

Like a black lightning bolt appearing out of thin air, I saw Kobe's figure flashing, and his footsteps passed the carefully defended Billups.

Jackson was prepared, so he immediately moved sideways to defend, and Kobe Bryant was even more prepared, as soon as he left Artest's side, he shook his hand and passed the ball.

Artest reflexively ran out of the three-point line from the middle distance, and the moment he turned around, he received Kobe's pass, and took a step to stand outside the three-point line, Artest jumped slightly, raised his arm straight, and projected it.

"Huh!" Three-point hit.

Chamberlain shook his hand in surprise and said, "It seems that the mongrels in Los Angeles are very hot today." ”

Ibaka shrugged and said, "Maybe they jerked off a few tubes in the locker room and got their hands warm." ”

The Warriors pushed forward, Chamberlain asked for the ball inside, Gasol and Bynum unfolded him, he glanced at Ibaka, and Artest immediately shifted over.

Seeing that the Lakers' defense was tight, Chamberlain turned and distanced himself from Bynum, and forced the ball into the hoop under Gasol's interference.

"That's a superstar! No matter how you defend him, it's useless, he can kill you lightly! Barkley exclaimed, "Z, come on, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Then, Bryant held the ball again, Billups had to step back to allow for a reaction distance, Bryant moved forward with small steps, and Gasol suddenly ran out to help him block Billups.

Kobe Bryant immediately moved, still a breakthrough like a gallop, Kobe Bryant passed Billups and plunged into Ibaka's arms, he pushed Ibaka sideways, protected the ball and then stepped up again and again, so that Ibaka chased the wolf bèi.

Just when Kobe Bryant rushed into the restricted area and everyone thought he was going to make a layup, Kobe Bryant suddenly turned back and handed the ball to Gasol, who followed up.

Bryant's passing options were good, and almost just a second later, Chamberlain's defense followed.

In this way, Gasol had room to shoot, but Kobe's pass was a little urgent and abrupt, and Gasol didn't expect the boss to suddenly turn from a lone wolf to an assist king, and he didn't catch the ball, and the ball bounced directly in his face.

Kobe Bryant's passing power was naturally not much, which brought Gasol to tears, but the ball bumped in his face, and he reacted to catch the ball, jumped up and sent the ball into the hoop.

The fans at Oracle Arena wanted to laugh, but looking at the scoreboard where they were behind, they felt that it was better to keep a low profile.

Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley and deliberately said, "This is a superstar!" No matter how you defend him, it's useless, he can kill you lightly! KB, come on, I'm optimistic about you! ”

Barkley ignored him and said suspiciously: "This Kobe Bryant makes me feel very unfamiliar, this is not his style, he should be able to shoot even if he is capped, how to pass the ball?" ”

After an offensive and defensive round, Bryant broke through again and gave the ball to Fisher on the outside, and there was no one around Fisher, Iverson and Billups were led away by Kobe, and he jumped up and scored three points neatly.

The Lakers' attack success rate was so high that Nelson Sr. had to call a timeout to arrange the strategy.

"Total oppression, boys, go oppress them! Look at your defenses, I'm so upset for you, why are you so far away from those little bitches? Didn't I fucking sue you guys, defense is like love, the closer you get to those bitches, the higher your success rate! ”

Old Nelson shook the tactical board and yelled again: "Aaron, run a lot, don't stop, do you see this line?" Yes, I'm talking about this curve, you have to keep running in these places, and you have to strengthen the attack from the flanks! The L.E. L.E. are weak on the flanks, and if you attack from these places, their defenses will be porous! ”

After the timeout, the Warriors' offense improved a lot, the old Nelson's observation was good, the Lakers' interior defense was pulled by Chamberlain, and there was a gap in their wing defense, and the lack of people on the forward line forced them to give up the wing offense again and again.

However, on the defensive end, the Warriors did not do well today, Kobe Bryant frequently broke through and then passed, his breakthrough can always attract two or even three people, and his passing is tricky and treacherous, and the Warriors' defense is torn apart by him.

No matter who plays against the Lakers today, the defense line is not much better, in the entire first quarter, Kobe Bryant suddenly changed his character, a lone wolf did not shoot and changed to passing, and a total of 6 assists were sent in a single quarter!

Among them, Kobe Bryant gave 4 to Artest, who shot two 3-pointers in this quarter, especially in the final minute of the quarter, he shot a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, and it was Kobe who passed the ball to him.

Artest's hand makes one have to wonder, did he borrow a shooting bag from Kobe?

Of course, more assists does not mean that Kobe Bryant scores less, scoring is the killer feature of Black Mamba.

So far in the playoffs, Kobe Bryant has hit 30+ in a row, averaging 32 points per game. 5 points.

In this game, in fact, Kobe Bryant turned on the offensive mode at the beginning, and after he scored the first point of the Lakers, he broke through and attacked again and again. His passes are all done under the premise that he has a bad choice of shots.

The Lakers played well in the first quarter, leading by six points at 31-25.

In the second quarter, Bryant, who had previously held the passing flag high, suddenly changed his choice, and he hit a total of 4 of 5 shots in just 2 minutes and 24 seconds of the opening game.

The only time he missed, Bynum grabbed an offensive rebound, and then Kobe Bryant attacked with the ball, and he observed the Warriors' defense, and it was Chamberlain who defended Kobe at this time.

In the face of the league's first iron gate, Kobe Bryant used his speed to break through the inside line, rushed into the restricted area and jumped against Chamberlain, Chamberlain's defense did not leak, but Kobe Bryant used a lever when he made a layup, and Chamberlain did not prevent it, allowing him to score two points again.

Nelson Sr. decisively changed his defensive tactics, and the Warriors adopted a joint defense, which could not only limit Kobe's breakthrough, but also reduce Gasol's role.

However, for the seasoned Lakers players, such a defense is useless, the Lakers use the constant transmission of the ball, disrupting the Warriors' defense, fortunately, the Lakers achieved this success under the premise of Kobe Bryant's crazy attack, and the black mamba is not a man, he quickly tired and had to rest.

Bryant returned to the court with five minutes left in the second quarter, and as soon as he got on the court, he got a pass from Farmar from the baseline.

Kobe Bryant immediately chose to shoot a long shot, Chamberlain felt cold, and he was ready to collect the body, but the ball bounced out.

Chamberlain picked up the rebound and passed to West, who attacked with his head and dunked with a thunderbolt.

Since then, the Lakers have attacked, and Kobe, who has made great contributions before, is still the number one choice.

West almost stuck to Kobe Bryant's body, just to prevent him from having a chance to catch the ball, but it was almost unbelievable that Kobe Bryant couldn't touch the ball.

Kobe Bryant propped his arms and elbowed himself to gain space, and after getting the ball, he leaned over to break through, Gasol jammed Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant shot when he entered the box, and as a result, West gave him a big hat.

Chamberlain picked up the ball, the Warriors counterattacked, Chamberlain asked for a jumper from the high post, but unfortunately hit the iron and the ball bounced out.

The Lakers' ball finally fell into Kobe's hands, and the Warriors pinched it, causing Kobe Bryant's two consecutive iron hits.

This scene lifted the Warriors' spirits, and it was obvious that Kobe Bryant was in too good shape, and he consumed a lot of physical energy, so that as soon as he rested, his hand felt very reduced.

According to the script, Kobe Bryant's paranoia will never admit defeat to reality, and when he repeatedly hits the iron, he will shoot more until he finds his touch, so that the Warriors' opportunity will naturally come.

But this time the script changed, all four shots failed, and Kobe Bryant immediately changed his tactics, served his teammates wholeheartedly, and concentrated on passing.

Kobe Bryant's pass came from his breakaway, and although he didn't feel good at the time, the Warriors had to contain him because you don't know how terrible it is to let him find his touch once he gets the chance.

Running to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant replaced Fisher as a playmaker, he waved his teammates away, leaned over and changed direction a few times, and suddenly broke through and killed.

Gasol and Odom met from the wings, and Kobe Bryant cut into the interior to get the ball to Gasol, who made a layup.

After that, Bryant passed the ball to Fisher in the free throw area, and the old fish picked up two points.

In the last minute of the first half, Kobe Bryant, who passed the ball several times, once again played the gesture of going it alone, he still hoped to get back his touch, although the assist was good, but Kobe Bryant still liked to score.

Teammates opened up the space to create a single for Kobe Bryant, he dribbled in the high post, and in the face of West's defense, Kobe first dribbled with a cross step, and then jumped directly in front of him, and the shot was unscrupulous!

What's even more helpless is that the ball fell into the hoop accurately!

Such Kobe Bryant made the old Nelson's scalp tingle, he had scored 14 points and 9 assists in the first half, but there was only one turnover, which was a well-deserved killer!
