Chapter 888: The Uncomfortable Kobe and His First Victory 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 and Seattle SuperSonics had a crazy half-game matchup at home, and the final result was actually a tie!

In the Lakers locker room, everyone in the Lakers were shocked and dissatisfied with this score.

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

Damn it, the scores between the two sides were tied.

Yes, taking the lead creates psychological pressure!

The Lakers players themselves are also very dissatisfied.

This series between the Lakers and the SuperSonics is predicted to be very close, 50-50. The Lakers players themselves also recognize it, but what they recognize is that they are better than other SuperSonics players, and yes is better than Kobe. The upper limit of this game At halftime, Kobe didn't hold them back, and Yes didn't start attacking. They couldn't beat the SuperSonics!

This is really, really incredible, okay!

The Lakers and SuperSonics were very tangled in the past, but basically they abused the other Sonics, while Yes abused Kobe.

Yes, they haven't abused Kobe Bryant yet, but they can't abuse the SuperSonics players anymore!

what does that mean?

This means that these young Sonics players are improving!

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

Is it because they have become stronger a long time ago and are still beaten by Nowitzki?

Or did he become stronger after being beaten by Nowitzki?

The order is no longer important.

The important thing is that when neither Yes nor Kobe's offense intervened in the game, they couldn't beat the Sonics!

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

The second most miserable Lakers player is Artest.

This is unscientific!

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

Damn it, I didn't pay much attention to guarding you in the first quarter, and focused most of my energy on helping to defend Yes. You had so many good opportunities and took a lot of open shots, but your shooting percentage 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 entirely on you. You shot 5 of 8 for me, with a hit rate of over 60. !

Are you kidding me?

Didn’t you know that I have changed my name to World Charity and Peace?

It's okay to tease Artest.

But now you are making fun of world peace!

Kobe, Artest and other Lakers players had a hard time with the first half.

Phil Jackson was not uncomfortable, this was a situation he had expected since 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 his speculation on whether he was useless into the game one by one.

The first quarter was ruined, but it was restored in the second quarter.

No one knows whether Nima's body was destroyed or restored.

For a team like the Heat, there really is no need to care whether Durant is useless or not.

Anyway, James can just crush Durant directly.

But for the Lakers, that’s really not possible!

Artest has increased his intensity, and Durant, who is still alive, can still score whenever he wants. This means that even Ariza and Batum are of no use!

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

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

Stronger!

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

The Lakers only have Ariza and Artest.

No Tracy McGrady.

Without McGrady, we can't pressure Durant through offense, we can only be suppressed by Durant!

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

In other words, the SuperSonics and the Lakers matched up at the point guard position, the power forward position, the center position, and even the shooting guard position. Kobe could play both offense and defense. Yes, whether it is a bit weaker or not, Kobe can indeed be both defensive and offensive.

As for Artest, Ariza and Turkoglu, they can only be able to defend but not attack, or they can attack but not defend!

Before this series, when many media predicted this series, they felt that Durant was an undercover spot.

When playing against the Mavericks, the small forwards who had no defense were so stretched out, and when playing against the Lakers, their hips would definitely be stretched even more.

These people are completely unaware of the pressure Nowitzki has on Durant and other Sonics big players on the offensive end.

And there is indeed something wrong with Durant.

What does it mean that the empty space of Nima is not in the middle, but it is in the middle?

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

Has this kid really reached the point where he doesn't care about the defensive player's defense whether he can score or not?

No way?

There are not many people in the entire history of the NBA who have reached this level, right?

Phil Jackson is serious now.

Very dignified.

The Lakers and SuperSonics originally matched up in every position, but a breaking point like Durant appeared.

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 mind 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 yes and Kobe's offensive state.

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 sighs.

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 yes, but if you do this old man like me, you can really do it!

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

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

But against the Lakers, they wiped themselves clean before Yes even picked up the paper.

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 question 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 working sometimes and sometimes not working, it is the characteristic of KD that it is sometimes working sometimes.

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.

Normally, 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 return it 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, and his hand feels good, 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 Bryant 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 a problem 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.

I really can't stand it anymore!

My teammates are so incompetent!

It doesn’t matter what kind of psychological warfare or not, 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 from Yeezy in a strong single, the entire Staples exploded in an instant!

,

"v!"

"v!"

"v!"

The V sounds of half the Lakers fans at the scene resounded 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. 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 will test my hand?"

"Or does this kid have some other conspiracy?"

Damn it!

Forget about all that!

Anyway, let’s start with the bombing first. It seems to be quite good tonight!

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

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

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 the iron, his picturesque posture of striking the iron still makes the Lakers fans at the scene mesmerized.

In the next round, Durant stared at the defender, regardless of whether he hit or missed, which also fascinated the 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 halftime, the series between the Lakers and SuperSonics has indeed become more exciting.

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

"yes is awesome!"

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!
