Chapter 78 Key Ability, Brush Evolution History! (for collection)
It is said that after the Bucks replaced He Li, their style of painting changed suddenly, and they beat the Lakers 17 to 9 in the second half of the first quarter.

By the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams had reached 29-21.

The game entered the second quarter, He Li and Kobe each led the bench to score points.

In the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, Kobe turned three irons and made two irons, which seemed to feel average.

However, in addition to hitting a fadeaway jumper, Kobe also shot and hit a priceless three-pointer. This three-pointer is worth it, and there is a free throw.

Kobe scored 4 points on 2 of 6 shots, and his scoring efficiency is very high.

After seeing Kobe constantly facing double-team shots and leaning back to hit the iron, Zen Master chose to replace Kobe first to rest and then switch to O'Neal to chase points.

However, although O'Neal played a big kill, He Li's firepower is also not weak.

Alston and Reid held back He Li in this game, but He Li beat Horry and Samaki Walker one after another.

何力上半场11投7中，罚球4投4中，拿下18分4篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽的豪华数据。

During the halftime break, Master Zen showed an intriguing smile: "I didn't expect this kid to break the rookie wall so quickly, and he still uses us as a stepping stone."

Both O'Neill and Kobe were a little unhappy when they heard Zen master's terrible remarks.

Of course, after the first half, the Bucks were 54 to 39, leading the Lakers by a full 15 points. At this time, as the team's leader and second leader, they must not be happy about the culprit who caused all this.

The game quickly entered the third quarter, and He Li didn't play immediately.

Both sides of the game sent out the starting lineup by coincidence.

The Bucks' strategy, as always, is to limit O'Neal!
Right now, the Bucks already have a great advantage. It's no problem to go straight to the A.

To beat the Lakers, what is needed is this kind of courage to break the boat.

The Bucks are in their youth, and today is the time to break the lake and sink the shark!

In George Karl's view, only O'Neal could stand up and score for the Lakers in the third quarter.

And when O'Neal, the boss of the team, can't help the team score and revive the team's morale by himself, then the general trend of this game is set.

After all, the Bucks already had a big advantage in the first half. As long as the three musketeers work a little harder in the third quarter, they can continue to maintain a lead of more than 15 points, thereby turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.

Then the Bucks can naturally declare victory in this game in advance.

Unexpectedly, George Karl's organization was too clever, and it cost Qingqing's life.

O'Neal only made 3 shots in the third quarter, but hit 2 of them.

In addition, the Bucks used the shark-slashing tactic, but they gave up voluntarily not long after the start.

Because O'Neal had a particularly good free throw feel in the third quarter, the first two targeted fouls actually made 4 of 3 shots.

In other words, O'Neal scored 3 points in 7 shots.

On the other hand, Zen master played the main force and gave Kobe unlimited firepower in the third quarter.

Bryant made 8 of 4 shots in the third quarter, including 10-pointers and free throws, and scored [-] points.

It seems that Kobe's shooting rate is really good, but his scoring efficiency is not particularly high, which seems to be similar to the previous two quarters.

But the problem is that Kobe's scoring difficulty in the third quarter has greatly increased.

You know, almost every ball of Kobe is double-teamed, or even triple-teamed.

Although such a shot is unreasonable, it is very Kobe.

It is also because Kobe has such a magical shooting rate in the face of double-teams. George Karl also had to pay attention to Kobe. He replaced the big dog who moved slowly and had really good defensive ability, and let He Li play early to help the Bucks chase points.

But even so, the Bucks scored 24 points in the third quarter, but were chased back by 5 points by the Lakers.

The game entered the fourth quarter, He Li continued to play, but because the third quarter also consumed a lot of energy, in the fourth quarter, the shooting percentage will inevitably drop.

何力在第四节前面5分钟，面前5投3中，罚球1中1，帮助球队拿下7分。

But Alston and Reed were unreliable at all, and even Tim Thomas was inaccurate. He Li led the bench and only scored 11 points in total.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, Horry made a corner three-pointer while He Li was not paying attention.

The little-known Devin George suddenly broke out and dunked two goals by grabbing a rebound and making a second attack.

The performance of the two teams' substitute lineups was very different. He Li led the four pits with one mind and almost broke his thigh.

When the point difference narrowed to 6 points, George Karl could only be the main player in the evening, and then He Li was returned to the bench.

However, the Lakers' counterattack is not over yet, and it has even just begun.

Kobe began to show off his key ability again. O'Neal, who has little physical strength, also played a supporting role for his omnipotent little brother at this time.

After Kobe came on the field, he was double-teamed by Ray Allen and Cassel and forced a 2+1 score.

After Ray Allen responded with a three-pointer, Kobe began to run without the ball again. Under Ray Allen's strict defense, he hit back and fell back. Although he missed the goal, he made Ray Allen's defensive foul.

Kobe made 2 of 2 free throws. When the Lakers attacked, Kobe repeated his old tricks and actively confronted Ray Allen.

Although there were iron strikes during the period, Ray Allen felt cold after being tortured by Kobe.

"Kobe, why does it look like he's enjoying confrontation?

It's already the fourth quarter, and he can still run like this!Ray Allen couldn't take it anymore.

Wait, the hit rate is still [-]%, isn't this too abnormal? "

He Li was still expecting Kobe to make three irons, but he didn't want Kobe to score goals. Even if he scored three goals, he also successfully made two fouls.

Therefore, Kobe only took 6 shots and hit 3 goals, one of which was a three-pointer. On the surface, the shooting percentage was only 5%, but there were still 12 free throws. Kobe scored [-] points in one breath in the fourth quarter and a half.

It was also relying on such incredible abnormal offensive efficiency that Kobe defeated the Bucks by himself!
However, Kobe is very fierce and the key ball is very hard, but there is indeed a problem with the whistle of this game.

Ray Allen and Cassell had only one or two fouls before, but this time Kobe made four fouls in the fourth quarter.

One of the four fouls can be called an offensive foul by Kobe, but in this era, there are star whistles, which is actually understandable.

Although He Li is not yet a star, he is already a beneficiary of the star whistle.

Of course, even if Kobe didn't gain much from the whistle, it would be difficult for the Bucks to win this game.

The main reason is that the three musketeers don't feel very good, but Kobe's feel is really good.

In addition, George Karl patronized O'Neal, but ignored Kobe.

Even if Kobe was double-teamed in a row, Kobe had already started!
Seriously, just two people double-teaming Kobe, it's really like giving it for nothing!
Isn't it against four people to double-team and shoot, can it be Kobe who has turned four and three irons?

It was also because Kobe didn't consume enough in the front, which allowed Kobe to unblock unlimited fire rights in the second half and then take over the game.

That's it. At the end of the game, the Bucks lost 97 to 102 and lost to the Lakers by 5 points.

It seems that the points are not much different, but in the end the Bucks really couldn't catch up!

He Li stepped in to save his life and shot three goals, but he was also flustered and only scored one goal.

"To put it bluntly, I'm not a star yet, and I don't have the key abilities that a star should have!" After the game, He Li reflected on himself, and it was indeed the case.

The Bucks' ten-game winning streak ended here. He Li saw with his own eyes how O'Neal and Kobe played and how they performed at critical moments. Only then did He Li understand the real gap between him and the stars.

He Li is a normal person, and his hit rate drops as his physical strength declines.

He Li could shoot at will in the first half and score efficiently when he felt good, but gradually became unreliable in the second half.

这场比赛何力23投12中，罚球7投6中，砍下30分7篮板5助攻3抢断2盖帽的数据。

比起科比的23投11中，三分4投3中，罚球10投7中，总计32分8篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽，丝毫不差。

But in terms of on-field performance, especially in the fourth quarter, He Li was far behind Kobe.

According to the emperor who understands the ball, He Li is just a data brush.

He Li has a long way to go if he wants to evolve from a brush to a star.
