Chapter 432 You Can Always Trust Stone!
Lakers offense.

Kobe played a post-up single and received a turnaround jumper.

Swish!
39: 35.

Who is the strongest in post-up singles? The California Lakers are looking for Kobe.

The Grizzlies attack.

Li Lei immediately counterattacked, chiseled his back twice, and suddenly turned around to shoot a jumper.

Kobe jumped up and tried his best to block Li Lei.

Li Lei had to twist his waist and abdomen in the air to increase the angle of his back before he shot.

Swish!
There are also.

39: 37.

However, the ball was a bit difficult, and Li Lei fell directly to the floor after taking the shot.

The other four members of the Grizzlies team came together to support Li Lei.

Kobe stretched out his hand and stopped everyone.

When the rest of the Grizzlies didn't know what happened, Kobe stood on both sides of Li Lei's waist with his legs spread apart, and punched Li Lei left and right.

Of course, it was just for fun, and there was no real contact.

"Damn guy! I knew that when Xia Tian taught you, keep it away, teach half, hide half."

Kobe complained while "hitting".

Li Lei laughed loudly: "Unfortunately, it's too late, I've already learned it!"

The two laughed a lot.

Then Kobe stretched out his arm and pulled Li Lei up himself.

"Hehe, it looks like Kobe and Shitou have a pretty good relationship!"

Director Zhang Weiping exclaimed.

Su Qun nodded: "On the court, beat your opponent to death. But off the court, Kobe and Shitou live together this summer, so the relationship is naturally unusual."

In the summer, Li Lei and Kobe's eating and living together is actually just a foundation.

And this game is the sublimation of the relationship between Li Lei and Kobe.

To put it bluntly, there is only one sentence: if you don't fight, you don't know each other!

Li Lei didn't agree with this sentence in the past. If they fought, they would be enemies. How could they become good friends again?

But now, in this game, he has gradually developed a sense of respect and sympathy for Kobe.

This is the emotion produced by the strong at the same level.

For example, Nadal and Federer in tennis, Lin Dan and Li Zongwei in badminton, Zhang Jike and Ma Long in table tennis, Bolt and Gatlin in [-] meters, Messi and Ronaldo in football...

Their relationship in private may be very ordinary, and they will work hard on the court.But everyone will find that they respect each other, they are both enemies and friends, and the subtle relationship is even more than true friends.

But if you ask in private: will you show mercy because of your relationship with each other?

Most of them will tell you: I am here to win, not to make friends!Besides, going all out is the greatest respect for your opponent!

This kind of relationship between Li Lei and Kobe is sprouting, of course, it is still far away from reaching that step.

In the live studio, Smith couldn't help but sigh: "Oh! This is the most primitive charm of sports. She can bring love and peace. Most of our friends should have met on the court."

The relationship between Li Lei and Kobe gave everyone a beautiful fantasy.

only...

Except for Kevin Garnett.

Watching Kobe and Li Lei "show affection", Garnett felt betrayed.

Kobe is my teammate, he should be on the front line with me.

Li Lei and I have many conflicts and are my enemies. How can Kobe get along with him intimately?

Garnett knew he had no right to interfere with Kobe's private life, but he still felt distressed and upset.

Not only that, but as a rational and mature man, Garnett also knew that he had to endure, otherwise he might destroy his relationship with Kobe and destroy the current good chemistry of the Lakers.

It's really dumb to eat coptis, and I can't tell the pain!

But watching the two continue to interact on the court, Garnett still couldn't help it.

"Phil, I want to play!"

Garnett said to the Zen master.

He wanted to play immediately, and slap Li Lei to death before Li Lei, the "little three", snatched Kobe away.

The Zen master looked at Garnett, a little confused, but after thinking about it, he said: "Kevin, it's not time yet, you need more rest. Wait for Kobe to consume Stone's wave first, and then you can play again. Unleash your abilities completely."

Zen Master persuaded from the standpoint of the team.

Very reasonable.

But Garnett was still stunned.

Change to last season, in Minnesota, as long as Garnett wants to do, no one will refuse.

But now, the Zen master turned him down.

Garnett couldn't accept it for a while.

But he quickly figured it out, this is Los Angeles, Kobe's home court, not Garnett's.

Kobe and Garnett, to put it nicely, are a strong alliance.

But to put it bluntly, Garnett defected to Kobe.

The Lakers respect Garnett very much, but if you ask any Lakers fan who is the boss of the Lakers, no one will choose Garnett.

Thinking of this, Garnett was a little depressed. He felt that the Zen master didn't respect him enough.

This is actually what he thought too much.

Who is Zen Master, one of the most legendary head coaches in the NBA, who led the Bulls to complete 2 dynasties and led the Lakers to complete 1 dynasty.

Under "Cardinal" Auerbach, the Zen master was the most successful.

Even in the face of Kobe, the Zen master will not be submissive, let alone facing Garnett?
Zen Master is not the rookie head coach before the Timberwolves, Garnett is what he says.

But the Zen master absolutely did not disrespect Garnett, he was just considering the outcome of this game.

It's just that Garnett himself is a little sensitive, so he thinks too much.

But Garnett is still rational after all, he did not protest, but endured silently.

Until halfway through the second quarter, Carlisle and Jackson changed the starting lineup little by little at the same time with a tacit understanding, and Garnett finally got a chance to play.

Garnett, who was holding his breath, showed his might and showed his strong ability to assist in defense and make up defense, which made the Grizzlies' offense feel suffocated again.

From this point of view, the arrangement of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson is still very reasonable.

The two giants Kobe and Garnett took turns to make efforts.

As for the Grizzlies, Li Lei can compete with Kobe, but no one can match Garnett.

The score gradually opened up.

At halftime, 48:41.

The Lakers led by 7 points.

During the intermission, Li Lei was interviewed, and he started to pant after only halftime.

This also fully demonstrates the high intensity of this game, and every goal is not easy.

If it wasn't for Li Lei's constant presence in the first half without a break, the Grizzlies might have collapsed.

"It's a tough game, but I'm going to give it my all."

In the case of falling behind, Li Lei has nothing to say.

But Garnett's interview was somewhat uncomfortable.

"I'm not satisfied with our performance. We only won the opponent by 7 points in the half, which is not enough. We can win more, we must be more focused, knock down every opponent, and start by beating the Grizzlies."

Garnett habitually wrapped his long neck with a large towel, and said viciously.

The Grizzlies players were entering the player channel at this time, and they were very upset when they heard Garnett's words.

Guy's face was full of displeasure: "This Garnett is too crazy. He really thought that he would be invincible if he hugged Kobe's thigh?"

Zhu Fangyu also complained: "I still want to win more points from us, how many points do I want to win?"

Old Jones said surprisingly: "Maybe it's 58 points."

Hearing "58", the entire Grizzlies team laughed.

This 58 special, probably forgot that the last time he lost against the Grizzlies, there were no pants left.

Coach Carlisle felt very good, but he still reminded: "Okay, don't talk nonsense. If you have the ability to go on the field and fight your opponent, instead of talking about it here."

Everyone in the Grizzlies fell silent.

To be honest, the Lakers with Kobe and Garnett are too strong!
The Grizzlies felt suffocated on the court, and they all played out of order tonight.

Gasol had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 turnovers in the half.

Facing Garnett, Gasol was blown away.

In the face of Kobe and Garnett's defense, Gay and Lowry are usually very good at breakthroughs and make frequent mistakes.

The two combined for 6 turnovers.

With Gasol, a total of 10 turnovers.

Three people are 10 turnovers, not to mention the performance of others.

The Grizzlies performed well here was Grant Hill, who contributed 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the half.

Besides, it was Li Lei.

There is a saying that is true, fortunately the Grizzlies have Li Lei.Otherwise, the Grizzlies wouldn't be able to last at all.

"It's not that the Grizzlies are too weak. You must know that the Grizzlies are now 9 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the league. Really, the Lakers are too strong!"

Old Miller couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Barkley was even more exaggerated: "As long as there is no serious injury, I'm sure the Lakers will win this year's O'Brien Cup, and Kobe is the FMVP!"

Smith analyzed quietly: "Now, the Lakers still need to strengthen the third and fifth positions. Once completed, no team in the league can beat the Lakers."

……

As for this game, they no longer pay attention.

In other words, they have already defaulted that the Lakers will win.

After all, Li Lei played like that in the first half, and the Grizzlies were still 7 points behind at halftime, which made them see no hope for the Grizzlies to win.

On the fan forum, fans also discussed endlessly.

"The two giants teamed up, this is really shameless! Last season's Yao Ming and Iverson, this season's Kobe and Garnett...Is this game still allowed to other teams?"

"I think Li Lei should go to San Antonio to find Duncan. Li Lei + Duncan can fight Kobe + Garnett."

"The times have changed! The combination of Yao Ming and Iverson won the championship in the first year, which stimulated the players in the entire league. Coupled with the current Kobe and Garnett, more and more stars will definitely choose to join forces."

"The era of the Big Two is coming!"

"I also think that Li Lei should seek a change. Gasol, the second in charge of the Grizzlies, is still at a lower level, and he is completely unable to compete with the Lakers and 76ers. If Li Lei wants to win the third championship in his career, he should look for a stronger player. helper."

……

The fans talked a lot, and they were obviously not optimistic about the Grizzlies.

Everyone thought the Grizzlies would lose.

But the existence of some people is born to crush doubts.

Back in the second half, everyone felt that the Grizzlies should accept the defeat.

But Li Lei refused!
At the beginning of the game, Gasol mentioned the free throw line to catch the ball and play support.

Li Lei ran without the ball, relied on Hill's pick-and-roll to jump out of the three-point line, and then shot up after Gasol's pass.

Swish!
48: 44.

With the sword in hand and down, Li Lei made a big move from the very beginning.

During the return to defense, Li Lei raised four fingers to tell his opponents, his teammates, the Los Angeles fans at the scene, and the fans watching the game all over the world...

"It's only four points! Why do you think I'm a loser?"

Yes, the Grizzlies are indeed at a disadvantage, but only 4 points behind.

The ball woke everyone up.

But the next moment, the Lakers attacked.

There is something to learn.

Garnett responded from the free throw line, Kobe ran without the ball, received the pass, and shot immediately.

Swish!
There are also.

51: 44.

The difference is still 7 points.

The hope that the fans had just had for the Grizzlies was shattered by Kobe.

But at this moment, Li Lei reminded his teammates loudly: "Leave them alone, play our own ball, one ball at a time!"

In Li Lei's voice, everyone in the Grizzlies felt relieved.

The Grizzlies attack.

Or Li Lei's running without the ball.

With the help of Hill's cover, Li Lei quickly got rid of Wharton.

But Kobe made up the defense immediately.

As expected of Kobe, this defensive awareness is too good.

However, Li Lei didn't pause, turned his feet, and immediately turned around to get rid of Kobe in the opposite direction.

Bryant gave chase, but ran head-on into a wall.

Milicic!

He set a second screen for Li Lei, and because he was big and the quality of the screen was extremely high, Kobe couldn't get around it for a while.

Gasol passed the ball immediately.

Li Lei catches the ball and shoots it.

Swish!
and also.

51: 47.

The point difference became 4 points again.

Hope is still there!
Lakers offense.

Kobe and Garnett also played off the ball tactics.

Regardless of the fact that Kobe and Garnett have not been teammates for a long time, there is no tacit understanding.

But they cooperate very easily, as if they have played together for a long time.

This is the ability of superstars. Things that ordinary players cannot or are difficult to do, they can easily do.

Bryant got rid of Hill and forced Gasol to switch.

But how can Gasol's speed keep up with Kobe?
Kobe received Garnett's pass and opened the distance with Gasol in two steps to gain shooting space.

Kobe is ready to shoot.

At this moment, Li Lei, the "assistant defense monster" came.

Seeing that Gasol couldn't keep up with Kobe, he immediately approached to help defend.

Faced with the double team of Gasol and Li Lei, Kobe's first reaction was to find the emptied Wharton and pass the ball!

As soon as the ball was shot, Kobe regretted it.

Tonight, Walton was 3 for 0 from beyond the arc.

Sure enough, facing Li Lei who was coming back to defend him, Wharton had no time to adjust his breathing, and just aimed at the basket before making a hasty shot.

Bang!

Did not enter!

Milicic jumped up, tried his best to protect the rebound in the backcourt, and then found Li Lei immediately.

Li Lei made a quick break and ran forward.

"Stop him!"

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson couldn't maintain his usual calmness, jumped up from the bench and shouted.

The Lakers players surrounded Li Lei.

Li Lei didn't wait at all, just stepped on the logo area, and pulled it up directly.

The basketball crossed a long parabola and fell into the basket with precision.

Swish!
and also.

51: 50.

"O! M! G!"

In the live studio, Barkley, Miller Sr., and Smith jumped up at the same time.

"Go in! Go in! Go in again!"

In the CCTV studio, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"You can always trust Stone, anytime!"

Reggie Miller.

"A team with Stone is not going to throw in the towel and everybody needs to know that, otherwise you're going to make a wrong judgment."

Charles Buckley.

"He's the greatest shooter in NBA history, unique."

Kenny Smith.

"He is China's Michael Jordan, the basketball god of our time!"

Su Qun.

"The great Chinese basketball starts from this moment! This is the best era of Chinese basketball, and I can't help but look forward to the BJ Olympics."

Zhang Weiping.

People who didn't know thought it wasn't a basketball game, but a "Blowing Up Conference", and the protagonist of the bragging was naturally Li Lei.

These five commentators exaggerated one by one, and exaggerated one by one.

But the fans want to say that tonight's Li Lei deserves the praise.
