Chapter 410: Kobe Turns the Tide! The King of Key Shots!

"Rebound! Sean Kemp pressed Campbell to grab the offensive rebound again, and then jumped up the ball for the second time! This is Rainman's seventh offensive rebound in this game!"

"The game entered the fourth quarter, and the point difference between the Lakers and the Supersonics has widened to double digits."

The commentator's voice was passionate. The Sonics had obviously been playing against the Lakers in this game. From the first quarter, their offensive rhythm overwhelmed the Lakers like a tide.

The two Lakers players, Eddie Jones and Bruce Bowen, were seriously inaccurate in both offense and defense, and they seemed a little at a loss in the face of Hawkins and Schramff's offense. Jones and Bowen still have too little experience in the playoffs. Even though Kobe has been training them during the season, they still seem to be unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game in the tough game of G3 in the playoffs.

Harris had no choice but to replace Horry and Curry with the veterans who were traded in the middle of the season. The Lakers stopped the bleeding and braked, so that the score did not reach a horrible number.

Kobe scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the first three quarters, and O'Neal scored 21 points and 9 rebounds.

O'Neal seemed to have consumed too much physical energy in the last game, coupled with the exhaustion of the journey, he did not play a dominant role in front of Kemp at all. And Kobe has been entangled with Payton. As Payton got to know Kobe better, he began to have experience with Kobe's offense and defense.

Kobe's strength disadvantage began to be found by Payton and infinitely magnified. Coupled with the tilt of the home whistle, Payton's offensive and defensive actions became more and more aggressive. Although Kobe could cope with his rich experience, the offensive output still dropped significantly.

"Use that lineup?" Curt Rambis advised Harris.

Harris was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"Eddie is not enough to take on the task of the third offensive core in this game, so that lineup may not be popular." Harris still feels that it is safer to pair Campbell and O'Neal with the twin towers, rather than Horry. No. bit. Playing a lineup with one subject, one shark and three shooters will make Kemp face Horry and Hawkins face old Curry. These two matchups are extremely disadvantageous matchups. Kemp has gone crazy in this game, scoring 24 points and 13 rebounds. If Horry is replaced, it will be a delivery. And old Curry's old arms and legs, slow footsteps are the existence of delivering food in front of Hawkins.

"However, the point difference has reached double digits. If you want to chase points, can you not make any changes?" Rambis pushed his eyes, he was a little anxious.

"Kobe and Shaq will fix this." Harris looked at Kobe and O'Neal, and he was waiting for one of them to step up, even though they were both in trouble. But superstars cannot be blocked all the time. As long as they find an opportunity, their explosive offensive and defensive performance is enough to rewrite the result of the game.

And that opportunity is coming soon!

In the ninth minute of the fourth quarter, the Lakers scored 78:91 against the Sonics.

Kobe went inside, and then used the elevator tactics of O'Neal and Campbell to successfully shake off Payton, catch the ball from outside the three-point line and shoot, hitting the first three-pointer of the game.

Kobe missed the first three three-pointers. This is the fourth goal! Kobe's shot was still decisive! And the basketball finally responded to Kobe, obediently got into the basket, and the score was chased to 10 points.

"Three-pointers! I knew it! Kobe must have a way to solve this dilemma!" Little Curry jumped up, causing the magician and West on the side to laugh. Reiki, they also like it very much. Although a little thinner, it will be difficult to become a qualified professional basketball player in the future, but it is also very good to become a basketball clerical staff such as assistant coach, technical statistician, and video analyst under the old Curry's network.

When Kobe made the three-pointer, the Sonics immediately chose to pause.

"Gary! Lock Kobe! Be sure to strangle him! Put him inside, don't let him shoot three-pointers!" George Karl spit stars flying.

And Gary Payton had cold sweat on his forehead.

Damn.

It's that feeling again.

He felt that Kobe's murderous aura had almost condensed into substance, and the terrifying aura made him feel the feeling of facing Michael Jordan in last year's finals again.

That kind of powerlessness, that kind of feeling that the power of life and death is completely in the hands of the opponent.

Every time Payton thinks of Jordan's attitude of treating him as the best defensive player for nothing in the finals, the attitude of playing casually after winning 3:0, and the scene of easily reaping the game once he gets serious, Payton will fight himself. inner fear.

Obviously another year has passed! I am stronger!

Obviously you are not Jordan! You're just an 18-year-old rookie! Why give me this kind of pressure again!

Peyton's eyes widened, and this time he wanted to overcome his inner fear.

"Coach, leave it to me."

Kemp patted Payton on the back. He really tried his best in this game. On the defensive end, he withstood a tank like Shaquille O'Neal, and on the offensive end, he fought against Campbell and made a second attack. If he loses again, Kemp I don't know what I have to do to win. This situation is exactly the same as when he beat Rodman last year and the team was still easily killed by the Bulls in the end.

Kemp is definitely the best player in the Sonics against the Lakers and Bulls. This is recognized, but the team still does not give him a maximum salary, which is something he can't mind for a long time.

Gary, I hope you can give me a reason to stay. Kemp looked at Payton who returned to the court, whispering inwardly.

But back on the court, Kobe ruthlessly shattered Payton's determination and Kemp's thoughts.

"Come here, Kobe!" Payton opened his arms and stood one step outside the three-point line.

Kobe receives the pass from Horry.

Turn sideways, take a tentative step!

Click with the right hand, then turn sharply to the left!

Payton didn't lose his position! Block directly in front of Kobe!

Kobe directly raised his hand ready to shoot!

Peyton stepped forward! No jump! He has been deceived many times by Kobe's fake moves, and he was finally able to control himself in G3, trying not to eat and shake!

Kobe smiles.

With the left foot as the axis, take a big step across!

Turn over, jump on one foot, lean back and throw the ball with one hand.

"Three-point fadeaway jumper! Kobe used a super-difficult shooting method that only he dared to use in the league!"

"Payton did not interfere successfully! This shot is too difficult! Only Kobe dared to shoot this difficult shot!"

"The basketball draws a perfect arc, which is as beautiful as Kobe's shooting posture."

"Go in! Kobe goes in again!"

Peyton's feet softened and he almost knelt on the ground.

The determination that had just been established was shattered by Kobe in an instant.

"Gary, we still lead by 7 points." Kemp supported Payton.

"That's right, there is still a 7-point advantage." Payton gritted his teeth.
