My Name is Kobe Bryant

Lakers 98:101 Heat.

Pat Riley breathed a sigh of relief as the Heat entered the fourth quarter with a tiny 3-point lead. Although Kobe was like a god in the third quarter, he beat Mashburn in both offense and defense. He made 7 of 12 shots and scored 19 points in a single quarter. But this is not a big problem. In this game, both sides scored more than 30 points in a single quarter. The higher the score in the game, the smaller the role played by the superstar.

For example, a game 78:81. A star can score 30 points, which is close to half of the points, then the star has dominance over the game, and it can be said that he alone decides the outcome of the game.

In one game, the two sides scored 145:148. The star also scored 30 points, so it can be said that it will not cause too much disturbance in the game. Even if there is no star, other players can still score.

The role of the star is to stand up and dominate the game when his teammates have no way to score. The more difficult it is to score, the more precious the star's score is, and the greater its influence on the game.

In a high-scoring game, the role of the star's scoring will be significantly reduced.

In this game, Pat Riley believes that if the Lakers continue to maintain this offensive rhythm and Kobe's scoring efficiency is still the same as in the third quarter, then the Heat's Big Three under the SHOWTIME system must have greater scoring ability than the Lakers.

Even though Mashburn was blocked, Tim Hardaway gradually showed signs of recovery under the defense of Eddie Jones. He also scored 8 points in the third quarter.

And the team's center, the winner of this game, the tough guy Amozo Mourning, has made 14 of 19 and 9 of 10 free throws, scoring 37 points and 12 rebounds.

Mourning's scoring explosiveness is not bad at all. He is one of the few insiders who can score 50 points. Last season, that is, the 95-96 season, he scored 50 points and 12 rebounds, 45 points and 11 rebounds, and 40 points and 13 rebounds. Scored 50+ once and 40+ twice in a single season. In this game, Mourning scored 40+ steadily, and there is even a very high chance of scoring 50 points again.

No matter how efficient Kobe is, can he compare to Mourning, who focuses all his shots on the basket? Pat Riley doesn't think so.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides threw all their starters on the field without testing or resting.

decisive battle! Start from the fourth quarter!

The Lakers' five small lineups did not play a big role in the third quarter. When Pat Riley adjusted his defensive tactics and no longer double-teamed Kobe, the Lakers' five small lineups did not have the shooting space created by Kobe. , Its own defensive problems have been infinitely magnified, which caused the team to be overtaken by the Heat again.

Harris still decided to put Campbell and Ben Wallace's traditional double inside. Even the defense of this inside cannot prevent Mourning, but it is better than a short and soft combination like Big Ben and Horry.

"Kobe, what's the point of scoring more points? Your team can't beat our SHOWTIME system after all." Mashburn muttered, sticking to Kobe's side.

Kobe looked natural. He had seen too many strong winds and waves, and Mashburn's provocation was even more drizzle.

The game continued, and the Heat had the ball in the fourth quarter.

Kobe returned to the position of defending Tim Hardaway. The benefits of defending Mashburn do not seem to be good. It is more important to strangle Tim Hardaway, the team engine.

The Heat's offense in the fourth quarter was still mainly instigated by Tim Hardaway and Mourning. The Lakers were very difficult to defend. Tim Hardaway's short stature made his pick-and-roll very threatening. Kobe can only ensure that he does not lose his position, but there is no way to interfere with Mourning's catch and score at the basket.

Both Campbell and Ben Wallace switched on Mourning several times, but the effect was not much different. When Mourning met Campbell, he could crush him with strength, but when he met Ben Wallace, he used his height advantage to complete the offense.

On the Lakers side, Kobe is still the main offensive arrow, breaking through and scoring. Cooperate with Eddie Jones' some off-ball moves, hand-to-hand, and cut to the basket.

The shooting from outside the three-point line was focused on defense by the Heat, and Mourning defended the basket with one pillar. Most of the Lakers' offensive options can only choose mid-range, and mid-range is the least efficient means of scoring.

The scoring efficiency of the Lakers is still not as good as that of the Heat.

The Heat's offensive wave under the SHOWTIME system followed one after another. Mashburn also survived after Kobe chose to defend Tim Hardaway. The defensive end was blown by Kobe, and he found the offensive end.

The Lakers' score was pulled apart a little bit.

From 3 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter to 6 points in the middle of the fourth quarter, the point difference came to 8 points in the last 2 minutes.

Los Angeles Lakers 117:125 Miami Heat!

Kobe knew it was time.

Take over the game, start from this moment!

"The point difference between the Lakers and Miami has come to 8 points, and there are 2 minutes left in the game, Kobe is holding the ball! Everyone in the audience, all the audience in front of the TV are attracted by Kobe!"

"Kobe made a gesture! We all know that gesture means he is going to singles!"

"Mashburn's defense! If Mashburn wasn't wearing a headband, his forehead must be covered with sweat! This season's key player, Kobe's singles threat, this pressure is enough to destroy anyone!"

"Kobe shakes continuously! Sudden acceleration and breakthrough! Mashburn retreats quickly!"

"Pull the ball! Kobe pulled the ball a lot! Pulled the ball back beyond the three-point line! Mash wanted to retreat, but the lower body continued to move uncontrollably!"

"Down! Kobe knocked Mashburn down! He even adjusted for a second before throwing the ball!"

"Three-pointer hit, Kobe chased the score to 5 points!"

"120:125! The key killer Kobe's scoring ability at the last moment is still so terrible! Pat Riley, are you scared?"

"Tim Hardaway carefully dribbled the ball across the half court. Kobe didn't choose to press! He still treated a top star guard like Hardaway very cautiously. Although Kobe was young, he played very maturely!"

"Hardaway threw the ball high to Mourning, and Kobe yelled at Ben Wallace!"

"Ben Wallace used his unicorn arm to hold Mourning firmly, but it was useless! Mourning turned around and let Ben Wallace's force fall into the empty space! Campbell helped defend! Mourning and Mourning were strong on defense rise!"

"Go in! 120:127!"

"The Lakers quickly serve the bottom line! Kobe rushed to the Heat's half court! Mashburn stepped forward to defend, and Kobe dribbled behind Mashburn again!"

"Mashburn is so bulky! He's at a loss for Kobe!"

"Kobe goes to the basket! Tim Hardaway backs up in time!"

"Kobe soars! Little Tim Hardaway can't stop Kobe!"

"Xinke All-Star Dunk King! Take off! Fly into the air! Stretch your body and dunk the ball into the basket with one hand!"

"Tim Hardaway ran out of the bottom line at the first time, which has to be said to be a wise choice!"

"122:127! Can the Lakers complete the reversal at the last moment? With Kobe, everything is possible!"
