Phil Jackson didn't know how to convince Kobe at this moment, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Maybe this kid can never surpass Jordan; maybe he will lose to the Clippers today; maybe they can only go to the division final this season... But when he saw Kobe's eyes, the Zen master suddenly found that Kobe was not inferior to Jordan, and in his desire to win, this guy may be stronger than Jordan...

During the intermission, the Zen master did not communicate with Kobe in the end. After so many years in the league, Kobe should have known how to play, only the question of whether he is willing to do it.

The Zen Master knew exactly what Kobe wanted to do. He wanted to surpass the man named Michael Jordan, the Michael Jordan who led the team to win six rings.

But, how to surpass it?

Kobe himself may have never figured out this. Maybe he thinks that breaking Jordan's record and leading the team to win six championships with better personal data than Jordan, this should be a step ahead, right?

Unfortunately, history has already had an answer on the offensive end. Jordan and Kobe wrote many scoring records that are hard to match for later generations. As for how to evaluate the two's offense, who is higher and lower?

First of all, in terms of the most important shooting percentage of the two, Jordan is far from Kobe. So far in his career, Kobe has had a magical performance of 81 points in a single game and 60+ in three quarters. Despite this, the biggest difference between Kobe and Jordan in shooting is accuracy. Jordan's shooting percentage in his career is nearly 50% (49.7%), and Zen masters describe Jordan's shooting percentage of nearly 50% of the shooting percentage as "excellent shooting percentage". In contrast, Kobe's shooting percentage so far in his career is 45%. And it is in a continuous decline.

Jordan is better at using strength and body to break through the defense line. Kobe uses his flexibility. Jordan is stronger. He has wider shoulders and a stronger body. He has a larger hand that can control the ball better and make perfect fake moves. In addition, Jordan can control the game more naturally, while Kobe tends to force the game, which is the difference between the two in leading the team. Especially when the game does not go as expected at the pace of the ball, Kobe tends to solve the problem alone. So when Kobe feels bad, he will continue to smash the ball into the basket until his feels better. Jordan is different. He will turn his attention to defense, pass or cover, and everything that can help the team win.

There is another most significant difference between the two stars, that is, Jordan has more leadership skills. Although sometimes Jordan is very strict with his teammates, Jordan's aura makes him have the ability to regulate the emotional atmosphere of the team at a master level, and Kobe has to go a long way to reach that level. When he gets angry, everyone will only feel scared, and then hand over the basketball to the boss, making the boss 1v5. The reason for the problem is that Kobe is not good at speaking and has no experience in college, which makes him lack of communication skills. He does not have natural leadership skills, while Jordan is born with it. He has a leadership temperament in his bones.

In the second half, Kobe's face remained serious. His teammates were similar to his boss. In the first half, they tried their best but could not narrow the score. The atmosphere of the entire team was very serious. Lakers players had begun to shake whether they could win the game. At this time, Zen Master Hou had no way to change too much. How could the mouth cannon be so easy to start? Inappropriate encouragement can only have a counterproductive effect. Zen Master knew when to use words to motivate the team and when should he speak less.

As the core of the team, Kobe should stand up and boost the morale of the team at this time, but this point of the Pan reflects his unqualified side as the leader. Whenever the team falls behind, Kobe will hold back his strength and try to get back the disadvantages. He will practice it and prove everything with his actions without showing too much in words.

In the third quarter, the two teams changed back to their respective starters, and Kobe returned to the court. The Zen master has decided whether it will be a loss or a win today, it depends on whether Kobe can go wild.

The Clippers attacked first, Ji Guoqiu and Billups played pick-and-roll at high positions. The latter broke through to the penalty area and encountered Gasol as a defense, and immediately passed it back to Ji Guoqiu.

Kobe suddenly appeared, intercepted the basketball from one, and then quickly launched a counterattack, leaving Ji Guoqiu the only one who kept up with him, and making a layup easily.

When Phil Jackson saw Kobe's steal this time, he knew that the kid still didn't listen to him. This steal was an act that Zen master explicitly prohibited. The gambling nature is too great, and once the ball cannot be cut off, the person will be lost. The success rate is just very low, and most of the time, the ball cannot be cut off.

Kobe finally decided to play the ball the way he did. Players like him generally have their own ideas and firmly believed that this was the most correct way. Other people's criticism could not shake him, and other people's paths were not suitable for him.

The Clippers made a second attack, and Ji Guochou missed a strong attack at a low post.

Kobe received a pass from Bynum and quickly advanced to the frontcourt and Gasol played pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Kobe took apart and handed the basketball over the free throw line to Odom, who formed a triangle with him and Gasol. Then he immediately ran without the ball and went around to a position close to the bottom corner to receive the Lama's return pass.

Bynum helped Kobe block Percy who was following the defense in the inside, and Kobe leaned back and forth against Ji Guochou who was changing defense...

"Swish!" The Nets made a crisp sound, and the basketball was hollowed into the frame!

The score was 66:56, Kobe scored 4 points in a row in the second half, narrowing the gap to 10 points.

Old Dunleavy quickly called for a timeout and re-arranged his defense against Kobe.

"Kobe's hand was very smooth in the second half. I don't know what Zen Master said to him during the intermission, but he looked very energetic. Look at his hideous expression roaring at the Clippers fans after the timeout. He is always full of fighting spirit." The Magician praised Kobe who scored continuously after the timeout. If he knew that Zen Master didn't say a word to Kobe during the intermission, he would not know what would be the reaction.

"Ordinary teams take one step at a time according to the situation on the court, and good teams play whatever they want." Van Gundy said this, wondering if he was complaining about himself. It seems that this bald man always takes one step at a time, and he walks very slowly every step.

After the Clippers suspended, they replaced Tim Thomas and Old Dunleavy with faster moving speed with Amir Johnson to replace him with the bravest form of Kobe. He decided to limit Mr. MVP on the defensive end first.

However, this is actually a wrong decision. Kobe's condition is not limited at will. The Clippers' lead in the first half is not based on defense, but on a better offense. Old Dunleavy made a confused mistake at the critical moment and used a stupid move.

After the game started again, Kobe proved that his ball quotient was not low, and found the young Almi Johnson to make breakthroughs constantly, using his realistic fake moves to trick Almi Johnson into scores.

Old Dunleavy thought, should he have to make another substitution? Almi Johnson's performance was too tender. After a while, his fouls had reached 3 times.

...His idea has not yet been settled. The Lakers' next attack will be replaced by Gasol to cause Almi Johnson to foul. The entire Lakers team aimed at the young insider of the Clippers to make trouble. This was not instructed by Zen master. It was entirely Kobe and Gasol's decision on their own.

Amir Johnson made four fouls, and Dunleavy was not allowed to replace him now. He could only replace Paul Davis and moved Panda brother to the fourth position. However, although the Lakers always stood on the free throw line during this period of time, they felt good on the outside line during this period. Billups and Artest each hit a three-pointer, with a score of 72:62, and the difference was still 10 points.

Ji Guoqiu had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, Billups had 19 points, 3 assists, Artest had 13 points and 3 rebounds, Mobley had 8 points, Thomas had 8 points, Percy had 5 points, Garcia had 2 points, and Amir Johnson had 2 points.

Kobe scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Gasol scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, Odom scored 7 points and 5 rebounds, Walton scored 8 points, Vujasic scored 5 points, Radmanovic scored 5 points, Fisher scored 3 points, and Famal scored 2 points.

Paul Davis is quite good at using Bynum alone, but it is difficult to use him to play the defense. They no longer have enough time to match Kobe's pocket array without the Fox brother. This gap is enough for Kobe to rush in and turn the world upside down.

Kobe found that the Clippers' inside defense was no longer as tight as in the first four games, and began to dribble frequently to the inside to create damage. The clumsy Davis could not stop Kobe at all. Gasol led Ji Guoqiu to the outside, and the Lakers used their triangle offense to constantly create opportunities for Kobe to break into the inside.

The Clippers did not score in the next two minutes, and the Lakers immediately seized the opportunity to score a 5:0**. The difference in points reached 5 points in a blink of an eye. The situation on the Clippers' field immediately became bad. They rarely have the opportunity to attack and prevent it like this. When the Lakers strengthened their defense or their own players felt cold, the Clippers fans immediately remembered the banned Fox brother. This guy was more effective than Artest and Mobley at this time, but the Fox is still sitting off the court and can only watch but not get on.

Kobe scored five points in a row and was completely excited. This time, he scored a three-pointer against Percy by one meter across the three-point line, intending to further narrow the gap.

"Bang!"

Peter Pan didn't know that there was a saying in China, which was called "extreme joy leads to sadness. This time, he shot decisively and thrust the iron. But even if he was not happy, it was not sad. So Billups' next three-pointer, he scored a four-pointer on Fisher, and immediately let Lakers fans know where this "sadness" comes from, and it turned out that he was waiting here.

The Clippers fans all laughed and shouted "MVP" again, this time they called Billups. Mr. Key scored four points to improve the team's morale. They were already shaking under Kobe's consecutive blows, but Billups' goal caught them from the water again.

Bilups made a free throw, with a score of 76:67, and the Clippers' advantage became 9 points again.

Now many people think that even if there is no Ji Guohuo, as long as Billups is present, the Clippers are still very powerful and will still beat the Lakers.

The two teams then entered a stalemate, with the score difference being around 10 points, Odom hit a three-pointer, Ji Guoqiu succeeded in the three-pointer; Kobe Mei's backward hit, Billups immediately broke through and made a layup to fight back; Lakers' role player scored a goal, Artest scored a strong attack and scored...

With 2 minutes left in the third quarter, Dunleavy replaced Artest and Billups, and the lineup on the court became: Brevin Knight, Mobri, Garcia, Thomas, and Ji Guoqiu.

Lakers lineup: Famar, Kobe, Vujasic, Odom, Bynum.

After Ji Guomeng was unable to play, the Lakers' lineup advantage became more obvious. They could still have three main players present during the bench, and the strength of the other two substitutes should not be underestimated.

The score is 85:78, and the Clippers lead by 7 points.

The Zen master did not plan to let Kobe rest in the second half, and was preparing to let him take the opportunity to narrow the score difference during the bench, but unexpectedly, Old Dunlivi did not let Ji Guochou rest. Can this big man persist in playing for 24 minutes?

Ji Guochou quickly let the Zen master know the answer on the offensive end. The physical strength of this first-year rookie is as terrifying as his pass. Ji Guochou shook Bynum away with a wonderful fake move at the low post, turned around and broke through to the basket with a quick one-handed dunk, which detonated the Staples Arena!

Charles Barkley shouted loudly: "Another exciting player after LeBron James - Panda, who is 7 feet tall and fast, is almost unreasonable. This time he turned around and broke through and dunked was the best performance today!"

The score was 87:78. Ji Guoqiu's goal was the last goal of the two teams in the third quarter. In the next minute, neither side scored any more points. The Clippers entered the last quarter with a 9-point lead.

Before the fourth quarter started, Dunleavy hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up the decision not to let Ji Guochou rest. He was still worried that a 19-year-old first-year rookie would not rest in the second half of the playoffs division finals. He would not be able to fuck this way even if he was injured. If he was injured, he would not have time to cry at that time!

Phil Jackson has no such concerns. The Lakers were sent in the fourth quarter: Famar, Kobe, Vujasic, Radmanovich, and Bynum.

The Clippers sent: Brevin Knight, Mobri, Garcia, Amir Johnson, and Tim Thomas.

Bynum didn't learn anything else in this round of the series, but learned to bully the weak and fear the strong. When facing Ji Guoqiu, his performance had nothing to do with the creature "Shark", but it was very consistent with the nickname "An Zhu".

Lakers fans finally know why Kobe had to use Bynum to trade Kidd with heroes. Kobe can tell who are trustworthy teammates and who will cheat in the future. Even if the triple-double king performs in the Mavericks, he is much better than Bynum.

But once Bynum meets Mr. Brush, the name of Little Shark seems to be very vivid immediately. As soon as the fourth quarter came, he actually used his hook hand from Jabbar in elementary school to blow up Mr. Black Hole of the Clippers.
