Chapter 488 [84 points, the strongest Kobe! 】

Chapter 488 [84 points, the strongest Kobe! 】

As Yang Rui expected, after strengthening the defense, the Lakers quickly took the initiative.

The Rockets' offensive routine is too simple, relying on perimeter players to make emergency stop jumpers or breakthroughs, and there is basically no low-post offense.Center Cato can be empty on the periphery, and don't worry if he is dislocated, because he must enter the penalty area to receive the ball to be a threat.

Taylor still stayed on the field and continued to play, as long as someone interfered in front of him, he was also not afraid.

On the offensive end, the four Lakers created singles opportunities for Bryant. He made many jumpers and the difference began to approach.The convulsed Kobe doesn't need complex offensive methods, he can dominate the game with only pull-up jumpers, so accurate!

半场结束时, 湖人55比69落后14分，科比6分钟得到13分，总共32分3篮板3助攻。

In the third quarter, the Lakers continued to open with four players, Kobe singled out, and Odom gave him cover and helped him catch the ball in the frontcourt during the battle.

Kobe Bryant broke out completely. He even made three mid-range shots and one three-pointer in the opening game.

Carlisle made a serious mistake and replaced Taylor to strengthen the offense.Although Taylor can make mid-range shots, he is an out-and-out black hole on the defensive end. After encountering pick-and-rolls, he is always slow to switch defenses and unresponsive.

Taylor developed the bad habit of not defending when he was in the Clippers. Once he was unable to concentrate on the defensive end, the coach arranged a zone defense, he would stand and watch the excitement, and he would not run when the opponent moved.

It's crazy that Dawson actually signed a long-term contract with this guy.

It wasn't until 2008 that the NBA had a guy as slack as Taylor, who liked to think about life on the court and turned into a walking dead at any time, named Michael Beasley.No matter how good the body is or how outstanding the technology is, this kind of person cannot become a star.

With Taylor's help, Bryant deliberately got an easy shot, as easy as training.

Carlisle had no choice but to replace Taylor, and Humphries was no better, just a rookie who had just entered the league.

Kobe is someone who can maintain his concentration throughout the game. Among the many Jordan successors in the league, Kobe's body is not the best, and what he most resembles Jordan is not his technique, but his mental attributes. Both of them have amazing physical strength. Amazing perseverance, never back down.

Whether it's singled out Rose, Mobley or looking for cover to play inside, Kobe can always get a shot. 10 people were playing and he completely ignored the other 9.

这节他砍下了28分，三节拿下60分5篮板4助攻2抢断。

The Lakers were only two points behind 89-91 and entered the final quarter.

The Lakers’ home atmosphere reached its peak. Whenever Kobe got the ball, the fans stood up together and stood to watch the ball; when he threw the ball in, the fans applauded together, setting off a wave of people on the sidelines; when Kobe made a foul, he stood at the free throw line , the fans shouted "MVP" together!

There is no doubt that he deserves the title.

In the last quarter, Kobe continued to play, and he was still very energetic.Kobe's physical fitness, playing the whole court is also very easy.

Rockets coach Carlisle intends to give up winning at this time, strengthen defense, it is too late.

Of course, no matter how much Carlisle emphasizes defense, it may be in vain.The Rockets are obviously not weak in attack, but they can't win the ball. The reason they only rank No. 12 in the West is that their defense is too bad.Everyone on the outside defends poorly, and Cato and Mutombo on the inside are only good at defending the penalty area.

Jaylen Rose can't guard Kobe, let alone others.

Mobley's defensive tenacity is good, but he is only 193cm tall, and interference shooting is a weakness.

Substitute forward Jumaine Jones won a championship with the Raptors. Later, the team did not renew his contract with him because of the defense. The defense 2 and 3 were easy to pass, and the defense 4 was too thin.

Under the general intensity of defense, Kobe became more and more excited and shot very resolutely.

Today, he doesn't need to think about how to pass the ball to assist his teammates or how to play more efficiently. All he needs to think about is how to get the ball into the basket. Anyway, no matter how many shots are taken, it is allowed.

In fact, Kobe Bryant also got this kind of performance opportunity once before, but unfortunately the shooting feeling was not so good.

2002年11月7日，常规赛湖人客场对阵凯尔特人的比赛，奥尼尔因伤缺阵，科比47投17中，得到41分9篮板4助攻4抢断5失误，单场30个球不进创造了NBA一个难以打破的记录。

Kobe entered a mysterious state, as if his opponent was not the Rockets, and this was not a game, but a shooting game that belonged only to him.

The Rockets are not as tall as Kobe, as strong as Kobe, and as tall and strong as Kobe. No matter how he plays, he has no choice but to foul.

In the last 2 minutes, the Lakers had reversed and led by 17 points. Jaylen Rose committed 5 offenses and took a rest. Kobe stayed on the court and continued to play.

Yang Rui didn't show courtesy to the Rockets and arranged extreme tactics, as if the Lakers were behind.

He asked the players to speed up the rhythm to fight back, give Kobe Bryant, and when Kobe brought it to the frontcourt, he shot three-pointers, and he also shot against people, like the "McGrady moment" kind of play.

Zhang Lili was stunned, his expression was like a koala eating leaves. "This game is amazing. Kobe beat the Rockets with his own ability and made terrible statistics. The teammates stopped shooting. Just defense, let Kobe play and let him shoot."

Yu Jia took a deep breath, his voice trembling a little: "Yao Ming was absent, the Lakers fell behind by a big score in the first half, and forced out the strongest Kobe. However, without Yang Rui, Kobe would not be able to accomplish this feat, probably only Yang Rui would allow it in the entire league. Players throw so many shots in a game."

Zhang Lili nodded: "Unfortunately, in the first quarter, Kobe still shot a little less, and his hit rate was not high enough, otherwise he might have even broken Chamberlain's 100-point record."

With 17 seconds left, Bryant made a three-pointer to seal the score at 124-106.

Rick Carlisle looked like Truman who found himself trapped in a reality show on the sidelines...

科比全场52投29中，三分球20投8中，罚球20投18中，砍下了84分7篮板4助攻3抢断。

The cheers of the fans almost shattered the roof when they saw the data displayed on the big screen of the stadium.

In the first half, there was not much media attention for the game. In the second half, Kobe Bryant scored consecutive points, and reporters from all over the world began to rush to Los Angeles.In particular, the reporters covering the games of the Kings and the Warriors all moved their positions, and some TV stations dispatched helicopters directly.

Online, fans around the world are discussing the record-setting game.

The Los Angeles reporter went to the arena and interviewed Kobe for the first time, asking him to talk about his thoughts.

Kobe smiled: "It feels like a dream. Jerry said that I have unlimited shot rights, and I don't blame me for how many shots. I did it, and then it happened. I want to thank all my teammates for their cooperation."

The Pacers never made it to the finals, and Jaylen Rose never had a black foot on Kobe, but he still became the biggest background board in NBA history, and it can be called the worst injustice in history.

Rose did not shake hands with his opponent, bowed his head with his teammates, and returned to the locker room depressed.This Rose scored 20 points, but nothing compared to Kobe.

A reporter also interviewed Yang Rui on the sidelines.

Yang Rui said with a smile: "I am very happy that Kobe can play such a great game. He has encountered many setbacks before, countless failures, and people always question his ability. Now, he has completely proved himself to be a great player. Players, don't let any setbacks get in the way, he's no less capable of scoring than Jordan."

More than not inferior?Everyone thinks that it only depends on the scoring ability, especially the explosiveness of scoring. Kobe has surpassed Jordan and all NBA players!
