With Odom's several mid-range jump shots, the defending champion Lakers did not collapse during the second team. The Grizzlies were the biggest leader of the Lakers 9 points, and after the first quarter, the Lakers only barely stabilized the gap at 7 points.

In front of Staples, in front of the world's most proud fans, the Memphis Grizzlies, a "not-not-in-class" team, led the defending champion by 7 points.

More than half of the Los Angeles fans opened their mouths wide. They didn't expect the Grizzlies to be so strong. Although they all know that the Grizzlies have just won four consecutive games, the Grizzlies' opponents are not too powerful in the past four games.

The Pacers, Raptors and Kings are currently in the top eight of the East and West Divisions. The only Jazz who can be considered a little powerful has actually dominant this season.

Therefore, at the beginning, the Los Angeles people did not think that the Grizzlies could threaten themselves. However, now, when they were 7 points behind in the first quarter and when Link dominated the rotation time with 6 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, Lakers fans realized that they imagined their opponents too simply.

Los Angeles media now only hope that someone can stand up and stop Link in the last three quarters. If he continues to perform so efficiently, then after the game, those who once laughed at Link would not end well.

Matt Barnes, who was originally highly expected, said nothing at this time. As a player known for his defense and ruthlessness, he was led by a undraft pick on the court, which made Barnes feel very embarrassed.

Kobe and Phil did not blame Barnes, but the guy was still deeply guilty. Kobe has now become completely serious, after all, his team is now hovering at the 10-point trail.

"I want to get more opportunities for mobile phones in the second quarter. We must be tough on the offensive end to suppress the Grizzlies' momentum." Before Jackson could speak, Kobe took the lead in picking up the tactical board and laying it out.

In the Lakers, it is normal for Kobe to use tactical boards to tell his teammates about tactics. First, the "Zen Master" likes to be a hand-off manager and likes to let the players solve problems themselves. Second, Kobe also knows how to win. Seeing that Kobe's speech was so exciting, Phil Jackson simply sat back on the bench.

Whenever Kobe wants to win so seriously, he doesn't have to worry too much, because that paranoid can always get the game done.

The electronic beep sounded, and Kobe looked at the big screen on the scene. It was only 7 points, and he didn't say much. As long as he worked hard, he would not get it back.

"Go up, here is Staples!" Kobe's eyes changed, and "Black Mamba" was about to start hunting.

※※※

At the beginning of the second quarter, Link naturally did not appear. Hollins changed back to the regular and continued to fight with the lineup of Conley, Tony Allen, Guy and the Black and White Two Bears.

Although Link did not play, his thoughts remained on the basketball court. This was the first time he saw Kobe playing on the spot, and the offensive pace of No. 24 deeply attracted him.

Link has been observing Kobe and his offensive habits. First, he hopes that he can learn something. Second, he also avoids being at a loss if he wants to defend Kobe.

In the second quarter, Kobe obviously had a higher desire to score than in the first quarter. As soon as he came on the court, he used a three-threat shot and shot Tony Allen with a look outside the three-point line.

Teacher Tony has no choice but to do anything about this. He has already sealed it very timely. But the so-called superstar is to seize even opportunities that are not opportunities.

"The Black Mamba started scoring. If the first quarter was just a warm-up, then now he is serious. Is Tony Allen defending well? Of course it's OK. However, this is Kobe!"

Local commentators in Los Angeles sat upright and prepared to enjoy Kobe's killing performance.

Kobe's three-pointer score difference instantly returned to 4 points. Phil Jackson smiled. The Grizzlies have always been a lottery team. The Lakers' goal is the championship.

But soon, Rudy Guy gave his response on the offensive end. This time, Guy did not fight alone. His superb interlude and running made Artest relax his vigilance. However, Conley actually gave a wonderful assist. Rudy Guy caught the ball and scored in the mid-range shot.

After scoring the goal, Guy waved his arm excitedly. He was in great shape today. After all, he didn't hit him back to back due to a shoulder injury in the last game, and he was full of strength today.

Hollins was very pleased that Guy had not performed so well for a while. Link's appearance made Guy feel threatened. Therefore, the Grizzlies' third position formed a healthy competition closure.

The better Link performs, the better Guy will perform. The better Guy will perform, and Link will try harder to catch up.

The attacks in these two rounds are a microcosm of the second quarter of the two sides. The moment after this quarter was played, Guy and Kobe were in the match.

Like the first quarter, until the eighth minute of the second quarter, this kind of back and forth duel was still going on. On the Lakers, Kobe scored a difficult point under the defense of Tony Allen. But on the Grizzlies, in addition to Guy, Randolph and others also performed very well.

Therefore, until now, the Lakers not only failed to narrow the gap, but were also widened the gap to 9 points by the Grizzlies.

Bynum and Gasol were extremely low in offensive efficiency under the defense of the Black and White Bears, and the defending champion instantly became Kobe's team alone. Seeing the score difference getting bigger and bigger, Kobe's anger became more and more intense.

He was not angry because of his teammates' inaction, but because he was angry. This guy was always angry with himself, so he motivated himself almost pervertedly.

In the eighth minute, Jackson called for a stop. At this time, the old Zen master could no longer continue to sit on the bench to show off. He had just crossed the field, and it turned out that the Memphis Grizzlies were not a team that Kobe could defeat with just a little play.

After the end of the game, Phil Jackson was about to speak, but Kobe took the lead in making his own request.

"I don't want to end up, I'm going to finish this quarter!" Kobe gritted his teeth, his attitude unquestionable.

He did not allow his team to be suppressed by a lottery team, and it was still with his presence.

Phil Jackson did not refuse, Kobe occasionally fought for a long time, and it happened several times a season. He nodded silently, as if he agreed.

Four minutes, 9 points, the paranoia of "Black Mamba" continues.

On the other hand, on the Grizzlies' bench, Hollins is very satisfied with the team's achievements. Rudy Guy is in a surprisingly good shape today, which is why he is occasionally inefficient and occasionally not defending, and is still the top player in the Grizzlies.

In the rotation time, Hollins turned his attention to Link again. He now trusted this undraft and his ability.

"I need you to pull the gap to and keep it in double digits before the second quarter ends. Now we are 9 points ahead, this task shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"I will work hard, coach." Link nodded and was ready to go. Today, because Guy's performance was so outstanding, Link's playing time was very limited. Therefore, every time he played, Link was full of energy.

Isn't it Matt Barnes, and he won him in the first quarter.

However, after the suspension was over and Link reappeared, he realized that things were far from as simple as he thought.

Kobe gritted his teeth and rushed towards the Grizzlies at the half-time, and his eyes seemed to be as if the Grizzlies owed him tens of millions.

Link turned his head and saw that the boy Mayo had already escaped. He took the initiative to walk in front of Barnes. This meant that the dangerous "Black Mamba" was left to Link.

Kobe ran through the half and received the basketball. He looked up at Link with a look of "either you die or I die". This guy must have thought that the Grizzlies were deliberately sending Link to defend themselves, and he had been waiting for a long time to fight with Link.

"Come on, let's solve all this!" Kobe said, starting to dribble.

"It's not like this, it's really not like this." Link could only shout helplessly in his heart.
