Chapter 888: Kobe's Miserable Life and His First Win in the Western Conference Finals!

At the end of the first half, the score between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers reached 54 to 54!

The Los Angeles Lakers played against the Seattle SuperSonics at home for half a game, and the final result was a tie!

In the Lakers' locker room, the Lakers were shocked and very dissatisfied with the score.

Kobe was dissatisfied and felt that his teammates should be ahead and should help him cooperate with his psychological warfare against Yes, so that Yes would have psychological pressure!

Damn, the score between the two sides was tied.

Yes was under psychological pressure!

The Lakers players themselves were also very dissatisfied.

The prediction of the Lakers and SuperSonics series was very close, 50-50, and the Lakers players themselves also recognized it, but they recognized that they were stronger than other SuperSonics players, and Yes was stronger than Kobe. In the first half of this game, Kobe did not hold them back, and Yes did not start the attack, but they could not beat the SuperSonics!

This is really incredible, okay!

In the past, the Lakers and the Supersonics also had a very difficult game, but basically they were slightly bullying other Supersonics players, while Yes was slightly bullying Kobe.

Now Yes hasn't bullied Kobe, but they can't bully the Supersonics players!

What does this mean?

This means that these young players of the Supersonics are improving!

This group of Supersonics players who were beaten by Nowitzki in turn before have become stronger!

Did they become stronger a long time ago but were still beaten by Nowitzki?

Or did they become stronger after being beaten by Nowitzki?

The order is no longer important.

What's important is that they couldn't beat the Supersonics when Yes and Kobe's offense didn't intervene in the game!

In the Lakers' locker room, except for Kobe who was the most uncomfortable.

The second most uncomfortable player among the Lakers players was Artest.

This is unscientific!

Artest felt as if he was being fooled in this game.

Damn, I didn't pay much attention to defending you in the first quarter. Most of my energy was on helping Yes. You had so many good opportunities and a lot of open shots, but your hit rate was less than 30%!

In the second quarter, Yes and Kobe were engaged in a mind war. I completely took my attention away from Yes and focused my defensive attention on you. You shot 5 of 8 for me, with a hit rate of more than 60%!

Are you kidding me?

Don't you know that I have changed my name to World Charity and Peace?

It's okay to tease Artest, but you are kidding world peace now!

Kobe, Artest and other Lakers players were very uncomfortable in the first half.

Phil Jackson was not uncomfortable. This was what he expected after the game started.

In the past, whether Durant was really useless was a matter of one game or one series.

But in this game, Durant put the speculation of whether he was useless into the game quarter by quarter.

He was useless in the first quarter, but recovered in the second quarter.

No one knows whether he is disabled or recovered.

For a team like the Heat, it really doesn't matter whether Durant is disabled or not.

Anyway, James can just crush Durant directly.

But the Lakers, that's really not possible!

Artest has increased his strength, and Durant, who is not disabled, can still score whenever he wants, which means that

even if Ariza and Batum are on the field, it will be useless!

The Lakers' seemingly strong small forward position is actually very, very weak.

Wasn't the Rockets' small forward position strong last year?

Even stronger!

In addition to Durant and Ariza, there is also McGrady!

The Lakers only have Ariza and Artest.

No McGrady.

Without McGrady, they can't put pressure on Durant through offense, and can only be suppressed by Durant!

Artest and Ariza proved last season that they can't simply suppress Durant on the defensive end, but they can't suppress Durant on the offensive end like McGrady!

That is to say, the Sonics and the Lakers are evenly matched in the point guard position, the power forward position, the center position, and even the shooting guard position. Kobe can attack and defend against Yes, whether they are weaker or not, but Kobe can indeed defend and attack.

Artest, Ariza, and Turkoglu can only defend but not attack, or attack but not defend!

Before this series, many media predicted this series and thought Durant was an undercover point.

The small forward who played against the Mavericks was so bad, and he must be even worse against the Lakers.

These people did not realize that Nowitzki's offensive suppression of Durant and other Sonics big players.

And Durant is indeed a person with problems.

What does it mean to miss the open position and hit the philtrum?

This is telling the defensive players that in front of me, you are not even as good as air.

Has this kid really reached the level of not depending on the defense of the defensive players to make a goal?

No way?

There are not many people in the history of the NBA who have reached such a state, right?

Phil Jackson is very serious now.

Very serious.

The Lakers and Supersonics originally had points in every position, but Durant became a hot spot.

At the same time, Kobe was at a disadvantage in the key matchup between Kobe and Yes.

In the showdown between Yes and Kobe, many Lakers fans around the world will emotionally side with Kobe, but from a rational perspective, almost most people know that it will be difficult for Kobe to save the Lakers by defeating Yes.

Just like the first half, both Kobe and Yes did not score a point in the first half, which is their greatest contribution to the Lakers!

Of course, Phil Jackson must not say this.

If he really dares to tell Kobe, he also hopes that Kobe and Yes will engage in this kind of ideological war in the second half. If he doesn't take action, Kobe will get angry with him.

Kobe scored 0 points in the first half, which was the lowest half-time score in Kobe's playoff career. It broke the record of the lowest half-time score in G3 of the 2004 Finals, when he, Shaq, and his teammates and coaches were so frustrated that they could only score 1 point.

This time it's not out of anger, this time it's out of the need for psychological warfare with Yes.

Of course, although psychologically I am not optimistic that Kobe can beat Yes after he steps up in the second half.

But Kobe does have the possibility to defeat Yes and save the team.

Although he is a Yes party, he cannot unconscionably say that Kobe has no chance at all.

However, if it is true that the outcome of the series is completely determined by the offensive status of Yes and Kobe.

So the Lakers are really in trouble no matter what...

Phil Jackson sighed helplessly in his heart...

Stare~

Before Phil Jackson finished sighing, he was caught by a line of sight, and then he subconsciously held back all the breath he sighed.

You old guy is very strange!

Just when Benko thought about not being able to bear it anymore in the second half, you sighed, what does this mean?

Don’t give undergraduates face?

Noticing Kobe's look that I'll get mad if you don't give me face, Phil Jackson was so embarrassed that he didn't know what kind of expression appeared on his face.

Damn it, you have learned my psychological warfare skills and you can’t do it to Yes, but you can really do it to me, an old man!

Unlike the solemn atmosphere in the Lakers locker room now, the atmosphere here in the SuperSonics is much more relaxed.

When beating Mavericks or other opponents, they are usually undercover, but in the end, Yes has to step up and wipe the mess.

But against the Lakers, Yes didn't even pick up the paper, and they wiped themselves clean.

This is so cool and relaxing, okay!

Although Yes really doesn't care about wiping their butts, Yes doesn't care. Yes is a good person, the best and best leader in the world, but they really care!

Especially after playing the seven games against the Mavericks in the last round that made them doubt their lives, the SuperSonics players felt even more comfortable about this game against the Lakers.

It doesn't matter if you are strong, it doesn't matter if you are physically tired, as long as your mind is not tired and your heart is not abused. Young people, if you are tired, you will be tired!

Nelson was also very happy. After the first half, most of his pressure in this game disappeared.

Although KD is still sometimes good and sometimes not good, this is KD's characteristic!

KD that works sometimes but not sometimes is the real KD!

KD is back, and other Sonics players have grown up. Now the SuperSonics has truly reached the point where this team is theoretically the strongest.

"Yes, your performance was too quiet in the first half. It's good that you are willing to give up the stage to your teammates, but this game still needs your final word."

Therefore, at the end of the intermission, Nelson easily assigned Ye Si such a task.

Usually Nelson basically doesn't put pressure on Ye Si.

I will never say anything to Ye Si about closing the game.

So after hearing Old Nelson's instructions, Yesi was a little surprised before nodding.

He didn't take any shots in the first half, mainly because he felt bad and because he really wanted to observe Durant more.

It's not about playing psychological warfare with Kobe.

Kobe's psychological warfare was still of some use to him before he got the "I just want to kill you" skill.

When his touch is not good, Kobe's touch is better than his, and he will feel very uncomfortable.

But now...

With me, I want to gain this skill from you.

Kobe has a good touch, but he has a bad touch. If he hits him in isolation and scores, he will give it back in the next round.

If he can't score, he will organize his teammates to attack. He will not take action. Kobe will go undercover, but he will not go undercover.

Kobe's hand feels good, so does his hand, so it will be easier to handle.

Kobe's hand is not good, and his hand is not good either.

Kobe finally scored, and he returned it.

When Kobe couldn't score, he organized his teammates to attack, mainly Durant's offense. Kobe was still undercover, and he was not undercover.

Therefore, no matter how Kobe plays this psychological game, in the end he will find that as long as the Lakers lose, he will definitely still be the undercover one.

Of course, one problem with this strategy is that his touch is too poor, and the efficiency may not be very high when he fights back in the next round.

However, this problem is a problem for Nowitzki, not for Kobe.

Nowitzki is a very cautious scorer. He doesn't like to hit the ball. He has a good touch and will restrain his shots. He tries not to hit more balls and is more efficient.

But Kobe...

Regardless of whether Kobe's touch is good or not, are you still worried about Kobe's lack of iron?

As long as Kobe has enough iron, he can use Durant's hits to completely make up for those rounds where he failed to respond.

Therefore, after having the skill "I Just Want to Gan You", Kobe is no longer fighting with one person. Kobe's real fighting partner becomes him plus Durant...

Well, just a very cruel fact for Kobe...

With the skill I Just Want to Gan You, he really doesn’t need to interfere with Kobe’s touch judgment...

Now, as long as Kobe can't find a reliable teammate who can contract to help him, it's basically impossible to beat him.

After Durant seemed to find himself in this game, Ye Si really felt it again, how good it feels to have Durant by his side!

In the second half of the game, Kobe was ready to stand up.

Damn it, I really can’t stand it anymore!

My teammates are so incompetent!

It doesn’t matter what kind of psychological warfare it is, let’s give it a slap first!

When the Lakers opened the first offensive of the second half and Kobe Bryant hit a fadeaway jumper against Yees in a strong single, the entire Staples exploded in an instant!

,

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The MVP voices of half the Lakers fans at the scene echoed throughout the sky!

"Kobe is starting to attack!"

"The game is going to be even better!"

Many reporters, experts and commentators on the sidelines were very excited.

But Kobe himself on the court was a little confused.

He didn't attack in the first half, but as soon as Yes came up, he quickly played the ball.

"Why do I feel that Yes is not so strict on my defense?"

"Yes, aren't you afraid that I can test my hand?"

"Or does this kid have some other conspiracy?"

Damn it!

Forget about all that!

Anyway, let’s talk about it first. It seems to be quite good tonight!

After the second half of the game started, Kobe, who had been holding back the whole first half, started to explode.

The Lakers fans and coconut fans at Staples fell into a carnival alternately cheering "MVP!"!

Kobe hit a difficult single, almost in the next round, Yes will definitely be able to return to a difficult single!

Even if Kobe strikes, his picturesque posture still fascinates the Lakers fans at the scene.

In the next round, Durant stared at the defender, regardless of whether he hit or missed, which also fascinated coconut fans. Durant's offensive moves were not as beautiful as Kobe's, but his kind of play The law is also very beautiful!

Therefore, after the halftime break, this series between the Lakers and SuperSonics has indeed become more exciting.

But Phil Jackson's face on the sidelines became increasingly ugly.

"Yes, that's great!"

If Kobe scores a goal, he returns it in the next round.

When Kobe Bryant strikes, he organizes Durant to score!

Kobe Bryant played lively, but the Lakers were always lagging behind.

"Yes is still retaining its strength!"

Phil Jackson saw it, and of course Kobe saw it too!

Damn, if I score, you attack. If I don’t score, you let your teammates attack. Yes, is it too obvious that you are retaining your strength? !

Kobe feels so bad!

And what makes Kobe even more uncomfortable is that!

114 to 108!

He attacked with all his strength, but he couldn't even defeat Yes who had retained his strength!
