I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 306 Negative Effect

There was a problem on the defensive end, and Kobe became more impatient when he returned to the offensive end. He directly asked for the ball from his teammates, and then dribbled it to the frontcourt by himself. Facing Lin Yang, he chose to take a direct shot with a tentative step, but it was a pity that the ball slammed and went out of the basket.

After returning in vain, the Lakers were visibly nervous, and there were huge boos from the auditorium at the scene.

At present, the Mavericks lead by one point. If they score again in this offense, they will be able to lead by three points. For the Lakers as a whole, this three-point disadvantage does not seem to be big, but it will affect their spirits. After all, they entered the second quarter with a lead at the beginning. It is easy to form a psychological gap, and once there is a psychological gap, it will naturally have a great impact on the morale of the Lakers!
Lin Yang slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing the huge boos, his expression didn't change much. He was still facing the Lakers' defensive lineup as usual. After directing the Mavericks teammates to run, he suddenly gave the ball to Nowitzki who was about to get there, and the latter easily put the ball into the basket.

The point difference came to 3 points!
The boos at the scene also subsided at this time.

The Mavericks scored this round, and the point difference came to 3 points.

Unexpected things happened. For the fans of the Lakers, they immediately felt a blockage in their chests, and a bad premonition came to their minds!

Losing again?

It's no wonder they have such thoughts, it's true that the current script is going in that direction again!

"ball!"

Kobe continued to ask for the ball at this time, and before he dribbled the ball over the center line, Carlisle looked at him and hurriedly gestured to the Mavericks players on the field—defend Kobe with all his strength!
He could see that Kobe was in a hurry!

Kobe, who is in a hurry, is very powerful, but he also has a distinct shortcoming, that is, no matter how many people are defending in front of him, he will definitely not give the ball to his teammates.

He is a man who likes to fight the team on his shoulders. This kind of character has good and bad, and it can also be used.

"Dangdang!"

Kobe faced the three of the Mavericks and missed another forced shot. When Tyson Chandler protected the defensive rebound, he also swung his fist fiercely. You can tell by his expression that he is a little upset!

"Don't worry, take your time!"

Lin Yang has been playing steadily, and his calmness at this time is in stark contrast to Kobe.

"Shh!"

The Lakers made some communication mistakes during the Mavericks' steady offensive running. Caron Butler had a wide open. Lin Yang gave him the ball in time and assisted the latter to complete a 3-pointer!
The point difference suddenly became 6 points...

"beep!"

Phil Jackson belatedly raised his hand and called a timeout.

Players from both teams returned to their bench areas.

At 4 minutes and 45 seconds into the second quarter, the Mavericks went from being 1 point behind at the beginning of the second quarter to leading by 6 points, which also made them high-five each other when they left the field.

"The Mavericks played very well during this period. They adjusted their state in time, and adjusted in time from the state of being suppressed in the first quarter. This is a trait that only a strong team possesses, and it has also appeared in this Mavericks now!"

"I have to say, now, through tonight's battle, I don't think anyone will underestimate this Mavericks team. After all, this team showed us his ability to adjust tonight. To be honest, I'm a little surprised!"

Bill Walton was surprised by the rebound of the Mavericks in the first half of the second quarter. Before the start of the second quarter, he once thought that the Lakers would end the first half with a leading advantage, but it turned out that the Mavericks' ability to adjust greatly exceeded his expectations. These old guys are really surprising!
"beep!"

Soon the game resumed.

Bill Walton had a glimmer of expectation: "Okay, let's see what kind of adjustments the Lakers will make after the timeout!"

"Dangdang!"

But before he finished speaking, Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt alone, completed a wave of "picturesque" technical moves, which drove the entire Mavericks' defense line, and then shot a fallback jumper. Unfortunately, the shot was too reluctant. Tyson Chandler's defensive speed exceeded Kobe's expectations, which forced him to move the ball a little higher at the last shot. .

It was Bryant's fourth consecutive missed field goal.

The Mavericks took the main force after the timeout, and the energetic Shawn Marion completed an excellent cut and put the ball in the basket.

This goal extended the Mavericks' lead to 8 points!
The Mavericks have scored for the fourth time in a row.

That is to say, during Kobe's continuous strikes, the Mavericks easily expanded the point difference to 8 points by virtue of sending the ball into the basket several times.

"Kobe's character turned this game into a bad game again, or to say, his character didn't allow him to do something beneficial to the team tonight. Of course, we can't deny that in the two games before the series, if Kobe hadn't exploded and scored 40 points in both games, the Lakers couldn't have kept hope in this game. However, it must be said that in today's extremely important game for the Lakers, Kobe did not play a positive role. On the other hand, if the Lakers still play this way on the offensive end, then the Lakers are likely to suffer another loss tonight!"

Chris Webber expressed his opinion on Kobe Bryant's four consecutive missed shots. In his opinion, Kobe had a bad influence on the Lakers tonight. If it doesn't change, the Lakers will definitely lose!

His words did not refute the other two commentators, and in fact they could not.

As the game continued, Bryant did not change his style of play. After he missed six shots in a row, he finally scored on his seventh attempt.

It's just that when he completed that goal, the Mavericks also successfully established a double-digit lead. His goal is not enough to change anything!
