Chapter 566 Whether There Will Be Chaos Tonight or Not Is up to Us!

At this time, the score of the first quarter between the two sides was 31:28.

If you include the Lakers' opening 4:12, the score after falling behind by 8 points was 27:16. After Kobe woke up, he immediately caught up with 11 points, leading by 3 points in the first quarter.

Back on the bench...the headwind is bloody, the tailwind is happy for everyone!

Harris has implemented this routine from beginning to end. There is nothing good to say about the Lakers' offense and defense. If it keeps it up, it will definitely be an advantage. It depends on how the Jazz solve it and the Lakers break the move. Harris looks at Kobe and really doesn't know what to say. .

Is it so stable?

From 1 out of 8 to 8 out of 8, a total of 9 out of 16.

To be honest, the pressure in this process cannot be described in one or two sentences. The psychological impact on a player is also extremely great, so great that it can make people with poor psychological quality collapse directly, because many times... there are only so many games. Winning or losing is decided, and no one wants to take responsibility for a loss, especially in the playoffs.

At this time, no matter how confident people are, they are panicked and confused. The same goes for Kobe, who shot 1-for-8 before.

The difference is that Kobe survived the most difficult period. His paranoid personality kept him from taking action. In addition, Li Shengli led the team and was willing to give up the power. This created a turnaround in the second half of the quarter.

…

The second quarter begins.

This was the first time for the more than 20,000 home fans to know that the Lakers had a No. 8 named Kobe. Even the Jazz had a headache watching Kobe, especially Stockton, who was responsible for marking.

The Jazz attack first.

Greg couldn't even hold a position, and Malone had been troubled by Big Ben. Fortunately, the Jazz had more than one brush. Stockton gave up his good friend Malone and switched to small forward Brian, responsible for assisting Brian's offense. .

Li Shengli, Big Ben, and Crotty were all present. It seemed that Brian was the only breakthrough. But this time Brian failed to maintain high efficiency. After missing the shot, the rebound collapsed. It happens that the higher the height, the more difficult it is. No one can compete with Li Shengli.

Poof!

Before the mid-air grab hit the ground, Li Shengli threw the ball to Kobe.

From the beginning of the first quarter, this is not the first time that the Jazz's frontcourt didn't even have the slightest chance. This disadvantage caused them to lose many opportunities for second shots.

…

Back to the Lakers offense.

Seeing Kobe holding the ball, the atmosphere instantly became lively. It was not cheers but boos at all. The fans tried their best to interfere with Kobe, but Kobe was unmoved at all. After receiving Crotty's pass, he was facing Hard Stockton.

During this period, No. 8 Kobe was still in his infancy.

He likes to be gorgeous, likes to make drastic changes of direction, and has excellent explosive power and flexibility. However, facing a veteran like Stockton, Kobe is already trying a more efficient style of play. , took a step forward sideways, and made an emergency stop for a jump shot.

Although the shooting arc this time was flat, he still scored a goal with the help of the touch. He continued his 8-for-8 shooting in the first half and reached 9-for-9.

Like Li Shengli and Big Ben's control of rebounds, this is not the first time for Kobe to play in singles like this.

After Stockton was deceived, his face was ashen, and Jerry Sloan on the sidelines frowned, with a very bad premonition.

…

First Ben, then Kobe!

How visionary do the Lakers have to be able to assemble such a lineup?

Jerry Sloan simply couldn't bear to watch. Ben, an undrafted player, actually fought against Malone, and Kobe, a newborn calf, chased after Stockton.

Born to be a champion?

Time confirmed Jerry Sloan's panic.

Throughout the second quarter, although Kobe did not maintain a 100% feel, his efficiency was terrible. He hit more than 80% of his shots. It was okay just because of the small base and not many shots, but the problem was... the Lakers were quickly transferring a lot of shots. Kobe took the shot, and what's even more damning is that Stockton couldn't hold it back.

Until the end of the first half.

Kobe made 8 of 10 in the second quarter and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 25 points in a single quarter. Counting 17 points in the first quarter, this was already 42 points. The Lakers' team score was only 60 points. This means With that... Kobe's scoring ratio reached an astonishing 70%.

It’s not that I’m defenseless!

I can't help it!

After half the game, Stockton was in a bad mood. There is a saying that is true. Even if Jordan came today, it would be nothing more than that. Kobe couldn't help it, so he called two fouls on himself. It is said that the effect of temporary defense change is even worse.

It’s not that I don’t want to fight!

It’s really hard to beat me!

After half the game, Malone felt as uncomfortable as Stockton, because Big Ben was unreasonable. His mid-range offensive methods of running quickly to catch the ball were limited, and he hit the wall with his back. However, Big Ben had more advantages than Li Shengli. With a lower center of gravity, the power of running and bumping was sometimes greater than that of Li Shengli. Ma Long really wanted to vomit about a hundred kilograms of old blood all over the floor.

…

The game entered the second half.

Harris was so excited that his face turned red. Although Li Shengli's statistics reached a record low, with only 8 points and 5 rebounds in the half, the problem was...the people who shared these two statistics with him were all powerful.

Kobe had 42 points and Ben had 10 rebounds!

The result was that after halftime, the score between the two sides was 60:42.

The first quarter was still 31:28, but the second quarter ended at 29:14, which is simply unimaginable. Kobe scored 25 of the 29 points, and Li Shengli, Ben, and Crotty also achieved the same level of defense against the Jazz. It's an exaggeration, and an 18-point lead is enough for the Lakers to make a rotation first.

So in the third quarter, Campbell replaced Li Shengli, and Corsi replaced Horry. The other positions remained unchanged and continued to play. This was the first time Harris took the initiative to arrange for Li Shengli to rest this season.

"Lee, Kobe's performance... is a little crazy."

"This is just the beginning, 42 points at halftime, a good sign!"

"Hahahaha, Li, do you think tonight will be another crazy night with 80 points?" Harris bared his teeth and laughed wildly. If there are really two 80-point brothers in one subject, even if you are not crazy, you will be sorry for this kind of miracle. .

"Let's watch this quarter first." Li Shengli said with a serious face: "80 points is not enough. Unfortunately, he suffered too much in the first quarter. Fortunately, it is not too late to make amends."

"80 points is not enough, how much do you think? Also, you don't want your own data?" Harris turned to look at Li Shengli.

"I don't care about these things. If you want to play, just play big." Li Shengli looked towards the Jazz and glanced at Jerry Sloan, who was hesitant on the sidelines. "Coach, the Jazz will probably target Kobe in a while. They are not the best in beating the Bulls." Very experienced.”

"You mean Kobe can also enjoy Jordan's treatment?" Harris was stunned.

"In this situation, do you think it's not appropriate?" Li Shengli looked at Kobe on the court, turned and said to Harris, "We will see the situation later, and I will have to go up and help him. After all, he has never encountered him before. In the case of multiple double-teams, Kobe must be at the top. There can be no chaos tonight, and no one can disrupt the situation."
