451 Kobe, who never gave up!
Back on the bench, Kobe looked at his teammates with a grim expression that seemed to drip water, and said seriously, "You all better pull yourselves together!"
If this continues, we really have no chance of turning the game around! Especially the players in the paint, you'd better start to pay attention now and stop letting Su Hao score so easily!
Otherwise, you can forget about staying on the field!
These words were clearly directed at Bynum and others, but Bynum silently hid to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
He knew in his heart that it wasn't that he didn't want to defend, but that he simply couldn't withstand Su Hao's attacks.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, he also felt helpless and powerless.
Kobe is clearly talking without understanding the difficulties; he has never guarded Su Hao and has no idea how challenging it is to defend him.
"Kobe, you can't say that. Your teammates have already tried their best. You need to know how difficult it is to defend Su Hao. It's not just our team; other teams will also get their interior defense destroyed when facing Su Hao!" The Lakers' head coach was quite reasonable.
Kobe wanted to say something more, but after hearing what the head coach said, he fell silent.
The Lakers' head coach then continued to demonstrate his tactics using a whiteboard.
At this moment, the Lakers players were all gathered together listening to the coach explain the tactics, while Kobe, sitting on the sidelines, watched the situation on the court with a gloomy expression.
He knew that to win this game, he needed better defense and a better offensive performance.
But now it seems that this is difficult to achieve.
However, despite the immense pressure the Lakers faced, they did not give up easily.
"The Lakers are still trying to fight back! They don't want to give up yet?" Gordon said with a smile.
“I don’t believe they can find any way to catch up!” David Lee said.
"That's hard to say! The fourth quarter has only just begun, there's definitely enough time, but I don't know if they'll be able to catch up!" Rasul Butler said with a smirk.
"What other options do they have? Su Hao has turned their inside game into a sieve. Do they really think they can find a way to limit Su Hao in this final stretch?" Curry said with a smile.
"If they keep focusing on inside play, then there's definitely no hope. But if they change their approach, they might still have a chance. For example, by strengthening their outside offense or adopting more flexible tactics," Gordon pondered.
“Yes, you have a point. But no matter what, we just need to maintain our current advantage and not give them a chance to close the gap,” David Lee said.
"Yes, we need to stay vigilant and not let our guard down. After all, the Lakers are a strong team and could launch a counterattack at any time," Curry cautioned.
"Don't worry, we definitely won't give them a chance. We're sure to win this game!" Rasul Butler said confidently.
The timeout ended, and the game resumed.
The players from both sides returned to the field, ready to begin a new round of competition.
At the start of the game, Kobe received a pass from his teammate near the free-throw line, then quickly turned around, faced the defender Gordon, and unhesitatingly launched his signature fadeaway jump shot.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc through the air and landed perfectly in the basket.
The ball goes in!
After making that shot, Kobe's eyes revealed a strong "killer aura"!
"He truly lives up to Kobe's reputation! Even at such a crucial moment in the game, he is still giving it his all without letting up. Right now, it is he who is leading the Lakers forward!" commentator Yang Yi exclaimed.
However, another commentator, Su Qun, offered a different perspective: "For the Lakers to win this game, relying solely on Kobe's shooting ability is far from enough. Gasol must step up and unleash his previous form, otherwise this game is destined to be lost."
Just as the two were arguing, Coach Zhang interjected with a smile, "I don't think so. If Kobe can maintain this level of performance, the outcome will be unpredictable. Maybe he can hit a few more crucial shots, and if his teammates can successfully defend against the opponent's offense, wouldn't that tie the score?"
While the group was chatting enthusiastically, the match on the field continued intensely.
At that moment, the Clippers had successfully scored a basket, which made the audience in the arena erupt in cheers.
This offensive play showcased the Clippers' formidable strength and seamless teamwork, leaving everyone in awe.
The Clippers' attack just now was initiated by Su Hao.
This time, Su Hao surprisingly took the initiative to serve the ball inbounds.
He made a long pass, sending the ball straight to the opponent's basket.
The movement was executed flawlessly in one smooth motion, as if it had been meticulously designed.
Curry, who was ready to receive the pass, easily caught it.
Then, he smoothly tossed the ball into the basket, the whole movement as natural and fluid as flowing water.
However, this time the Lakers players were clearly careless.
They never expected that Su Hao would pass the ball so far and so accurately.
At the same time, they did not expect Curry to sneak to this position in advance, as if he knew Su Hao was going to pass the ball to him.
In fact, right after Kobe made the basket, Su Hao whispered a few words to Curry, presumably to discuss the offensive tactics for the next play.
Their seamless teamwork and mastery of the game's rhythm are truly admirable.
"I think the Lakers should take their starters off the court as soon as possible! They can't come back from this game! It's better to let their starters get a good rest, especially since their next opponent is also very strong! They can set their sights on the next game!" Miller said.
"You don't understand the rivalry between the two teams! They're fierce city rivals, it's either me or them! If I were the Lakers' head coach, I would definitely try to win the game, especially since we already lost the last game. If we lose this one, the Lakers players will all turn against us!" Barkley said loudly.
"It's just a regular season game, there's really no need for that. What they need right now is to stay healthy, not to beat the Clippers. You know, beating the Clippers isn't an easy thing!" Miller continued.
While the two were talking, Kobe received a pass from his teammate and hit another mid-range shot.
It seems Kobe really wants to save the team one more time.
