Chapter 631
The game began immediately with Barkley boasting alone. The starting lineups of both sides did not change much. The Bulls had Li Lei, Richard Hamilton, Melo Anthony, Zach Randolph and Tyson Chandler, and the Lakers had Payton, Kobe, Rick Fox, Malone and O'Neal.

Before the game, Riley kept emphasizing one word—rhythm, which made Payton dizzy. Fundamentally speaking, Payton’s basketball IQ is not too high among stars of his level, so Payton has no idea how to control the rhythm, because his style of play is different than Li Lei’s. He relies on defensive trash talk to drive offense, and he is the only point guard in the entire NBA who does this.

So in order to avoid making mistakes, Payton threw the first ball directly to Kobe. Kobe was stunned for a moment, took the ball and chose to make a breakthrough. This is a breakthrough that decelerates and accelerates.

But Kobe's goal was not to pass Hamilton, but to make an emergency stop and jump shot. Li Lei rushed over from the flank, trying to defend, but it was still a step too late.Kobe scored.

This guy's state and shooting touch have made great progress compared with the previous seasons. Li Lei is really not used to this kind of Kobe who doesn't play hard and doesn't have the 5-30 data.Because this kind of Kobe is not very easy to win.

Li Lei turned his head to face Payton, and without saying anything, he fired directly. Kobe pushed Payton aside from the flank to help defend, but it was still a step too late. Li Lei's shooting speed was faster than before, and this shooter specialization also increased the speed.

Kobe glanced at Payton. To be precise, he stared at the glove with a death stare. The glove simply ignored him. Kobe has grown a little this season. Although the Lakers have won [-] consecutive victories, these small problems have also become prominent.

For the Lakers, the outside offense is sharper, but the data of others has shrunk.

In the first quarter, Kobe scored 10 points alone on the perimeter, and Li Lei also scored 10 points, but he sent out 3 assists, and Li Lei took two fewer shots than Kobe. Kobe took six shots in the first quarter, while Li Lei only used four.

"Kobe, be careful not to score the ball so independently, we are a whole, how many times do you want me to repeat?"

Pat Riley can't bear Kobe this season at all. The No. [-] of the Lakers is really awesome when he gets up, but he is also very scary when he gets up. The only good thing is that Kobe this season rarely has that kind of strike.

Kobe didn't speak, just drank water with his head sullen. Li Lei's performance stimulated him, especially during the Olympics, the endorsements that Li Lei received together exceeded 10 million US dollars. The myth of the Nike empire has turned an American sneaker workshop into one of the most influential sports brands in the world, which can compete with giants like Adidas.

But it took Jordan a few years, and it took Li Lei only four years to surpass the opponent. This guy is really scary, and it also made Kobe want to beat the opponent even more, because if he beats such an opponent, his worth will also increase several grades.

With this belief, Kobe's style of play was completely developed in the direction of historical space. This is an existence that Riley can't bear.

In the second quarter, Kobe was temporarily put on the bench by Riley. Ginobili, the Argentinian, and Li Lei on the Bulls side began to overwhelm. The Lakers did not have Kobe on the Lakers side.

The current performance of O'Neal and Malone can only be described as mediocre. O'Neal seemed to be holding back his fire. In the second half of the game, O'Neal really started to explode. Although Chandler had some defensive experience, he was still ravaged when facing O'Neal. However, Li Lei rained three-pointers from the outside and his teammates.

Rashid also hit Varejao several times when he came up. Although Varejao flopped a few times, Crawford didn't even roll his eyelids, which hurt the Brazilian actor a bit.

Tiezha did not get the chance to play, because his skills are not generally rough at present, and he still needs to continue to polish, and there are really too many people in the third position of the Bulls. He was chosen because the others were too hip.

The third position is a very weak point for the Lakers, and there is no particularly top third position in the league at present. James is but that is the future. In the eyes of many people, he is just a physical player. It was useless, because the Bulls played a game of wheels, Josh Howard, Caron Butler, and Melo all played in turn. Kobe finally experienced Jordan-level treatment. No one had ever defended him like this before.

In the second half, Payton was intercepted consecutively by Li Lei, which was also fatal. Relying on Li Lei's miraculous triple-double of 40 points, 15 assists and 10 steals, the Bulls defended their home court and ended the Lakers' winning streak.
