Chapter 196 Kobe Bryant Scores 67 Points!
Lin Tian can naturally understand this, after all, the Jazz's defense today is not letting water at all.
It is not realistic for Kobe to play every round by himself.
Lin Tian, who didn't make many shots in the first quarter or even the first half of the second quarter, began to take over the game
Although he has been stuck inside and rebounded before, but because he didn't exert much strength on the offensive end, he is now full of energy.
On the other hand, the Jazz are still used to focusing on defending Kobe, and Lin Tian scored several goals in a row.
When the Jazz reacted and started double-teaming Lin Tian, Lin Tian began to pass the ball to Kobe again, making the Jazz unable to defend.
After halftime, the Lakers surprisingly led by 14 points!
Throughout the first half, Kobe made 26 of 13 shots and scored 32 points!
The large number of shots made him breathless when he walked into the tunnel, but Kobe's face was filled with a contented smile.
He shouted excitedly while talking with the audience on both sides of the player tunnel.
林天上半场的数据则要全能很能，他得到了11分8篮7助攻2抢断和1个盖帽。
As the absolute offensive core of the Lakers, Lin Tian only scored [-] points in the first half, which is very rare.
But the whole team knows that if he wants to score, no one can stop him.
Back in the locker room, Bryant immediately took off his drenched No. 24 purple and gold jersey.
He folded and twisted the jersey that had been taken off, and the sweat dripped down. Kobe said: "Damn it! I have to change a jersey in the second half."
In a game, players usually don't need to change their jerseys, but Ke sweated too much today.
Lin Tian didn't sweat that much, and changed into a clean and refreshing jersey.
After Kobe finished changing his jersey, he glanced at his teammates in the locker room: "You guys! Are you trying to exhaust me to death today?"
"Kobe! Let go today! This is what our whole team wants to see." PJ Tucker has already changed a pair of sneakers.
"Yeah! The Jazz couldn't even grab a rebound in the first half! You just need to be confident and bold to shoot! Lin and I are inside!" Howard also patted his chest.
Kobe was also moved by their words: "It seems that I am expected to score 50 points today, haha!"
At this time, Nance Jr., who was looking down at his phone, suddenly exclaimed: "Hey! Guys! The Mavericks lost! We are firmly in the playoffs!"
"Really? If the Mavericks lose! That would be great!"
"Haha! We are now a playoff team!"
After a while, Bass Jr. and Kupchak also walked in, telling them about their locked playoff spots.
Such news is undoubtedly a first-level booster for the Lakers.
At least let them play the Jazz in the second half without any pressure.
The initiative is completely in the hands of the Lakers, and Scott even made up his mind: "I figured it out, if we win the Jazz today, we will enter the playoffs as No.6 in the Western Conference, and then we will face the third-ranked Thunder."
"If we lose, we will be No.7, and our opponent in the playoffs will be the second-ranked Spurs."
Whether they want to play the Spurs or the Thunder in the playoffs is in the hands of the Lakers themselves.
In the NBA, it may be difficult to win a game, but it is too easy to lose a game, just put a little water on it.
In addition to Scott, several assistant coaches of the Lakers also discussed quickly in the locker room.
I'm afraid not many viewers would have imagined that in the Lakers locker room, the discussion at this time was not about tactics for the second half, but about whether to win today's game.
In the end, several assistant coaches came to the same conclusion: today's game is best won!Let their ranking stabilize at sixth in the Western Conference, and play the Thunder in the playoffs.
The assistant coaches believe that although the Spurs' lineup is already old and unbearable, their heritage still exists, and their record in the regular season is terrifying.
Most importantly, the Spurs have Popovich, who is more difficult to deal with than the Thunder.
Although the Thunder team is also very strong this season, the Lakers have defeated the Thunder twice in a row in the regular season after all.
And against the Spurs this season, they were beaten badly.
They fought lively, but Kobe's face was gloomy: "If you don't want to meet them in the playoffs, the best way is not to play in the playoffs!"
Kobe was a little angry. What he usually dislikes the most is to calculate these meaningless things.
Lin Tian also agreed with Kobe's words: "Whether it is the Thunder or the Spurs, we have no reason to be afraid!"
I played happily in the first half, but now my mood has been ruined.
Several assistant coaches and Scott were also a little embarrassed. In the end, it was Bass who stood up: "Kobe is right! Basketball should be more pure! Come on in the second half!"
As for whether little Bass thought so in his heart, no one knew.
After all, the last time Kobe participated in the playoffs, the tickets for each game at the Staples Center could reach at least tens of millions of dollars.
When the halftime break was about to end, the Lakers players walked back to the arena from the player channel one by one.
Fans at Staples Center nearly all stood up to applaud and cheer.
Obviously, they also know that the Lakers have locked in a playoff spot in advance.
The second half started very quickly, perhaps affected by what happened in the locker room, Kobe played very positively.
Lin Tian still plays the fourth position as usual, mainly responsible for blocking, defending and rebounding.
He even rarely played pick-and-rolls for Kobe, just to be able to protect the rebounds.
In the first half, the Lakers crushed the Jazz in terms of rebounds.
With the cooperation of Lin Tian and Howard, the Jazz Jazz are not their opponents at all.
Bryant continued to throw his [-]-pointers and long [-]s, with little to no drive.
The main reason is that his speed can no longer get rid of Hood who is defending him, and there is a leader and Howard inside, it is very crowded, there is no need to rush.
Kobe's touch in the second half was a bit worse than in the first half, but the Lakers did a great job in rebound protection!
After Lin Tian grabbed the rebound many times, even if he had a high degree of confidence in completing the second attack, he would pass the ball back to Kobe.
The Jazz's two insiders are no match for Lin Tian and the Lakers. Seeing the rebounds continue to lose, Schneider on the sidelines scratched his ears anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.
After the third quarter, Kobe's personal score has reached [-] points. The key is that they are still [-] points ahead of the Jazz.
The Lakers' home dj is hoarse!
After all, the last time Kobe scored such a high score in a single game dates back to several years ago!
The fans who came to the audience became more and more excited!
They didn't expect Kobe to be so crazy today!
Penguin Sports Live.
As Kobe scored more than 50 points in a single game today, the popularity of the live broadcast room also exceeded 5000 million.
"Fuck! 50 points! Today Kobe's personal score is expected to break through 60 points!"
"It's unimaginable! With such an injury, you can still get 50 points!"
"Kobe really dreamed of returning to the top today! Although he took up a lot of the team's shots, his scoring efficiency was good!"
"Today's absence from work to watch the game is really worth it! And the Lakers have entered the playoffs, it's really not too exciting!"
"It's just that the Jazz didn't seriously defend Kobe. How could Kobe score so many points if they really defended themselves!"
"Those who said that the Jazz didn't take defense seriously, are you serious? This game is related to whether the Jazz can make the playoffs!"
……
Staples Center Arena.
After the final quarter, the Jazz improved both in terms of defensive strength and offensive efficiency.
Because this game is not only related to the final ranking of the Lakers, but also the opportunity for the Jazz to hit the playoffs!
If they win, they will sit on the last train of the playoffs in the eighth place in the West.
And if they lose the game, they will rank ninth in the Western Conference and completely miss the playoffs.
This also shows that the Jazz have no reason to release water!
Their head star Gordon Hayward stepped forward.
The vigorous Hayward made it difficult for Tucker to defend. He continued to hit key shots against Tucker.
Seeing this, Lin Tian directly switched defenses with Tucker, and let him block Hayward's point, and the effect was very significant.
Hayward is one level behind Lin Tian in terms of height, confrontation and speed.
After he was pressed to death at this point, the Jazz's offensive task was mainly handed over to Hood.
Hood also seized the opportunity and showed no mercy in the face of Kobe's defense.
Today Kobe is efficient on the offensive end, but certain problems are inevitable on the defensive end.
With his age here, coupled with the impact of injuries, Hood cannot be prevented.
This also led to the fact that the score between the two sides has not been stretched much since the fourth quarter.
In an offensive round of the Lakers, Lin Tian made a false pass and gave the ball to Kobe.
Kobe caught and shot the ball and hit a three-pointer!
Dj yelled: "Three-pointer hits the net! Kobe... Bryant! The score is [-]!"
All the fans at the scene gave a standing ovation!Nick Young and others on the Lakers bench also danced excitedly.
The entire Staples Center turned into a sea of celebration at this moment.
Hollywood veteran Nicholson also celebrated with his friends.
He shouted excitedly: "This is one of the most unforgettable moments in my life!"
Sistine also embraced happily with her two sisters.
On this night, they watched Kobe perform a landmark feat.
Vanessa and her two daughters are also excited.
In order to celebrate Kobe's sixty points, Scott even called a timeout immediately.
Kobe found Lin Tian at the first time, hugged Lin Tian tightly, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Brother! Triple-double! You have triple-double!"
Lin Tian didn't pay much attention to the triple-double data before. He looked up at the big screen and found that he really got a triple-double.
Just now, when he assisted Kobe to make a three-pointer, he also turned his own data into a triple-double, which was the first time in his career.
"Yes! Congratulations on scoring sixty points in a single game, and congratulations on my first triple-double." Lin Tian patted Kobe on the back.
Other Lakers players also came over to congratulate Kobe.
But after the celebration, Kobe said sternly: "Guys! Alright! Let's finish today's game first!"
After the timeout ended, the Jazz's main offensive point was Hood, but Hood's touch began to decline.
The offensive firepower of the Lakers is still very strong!
Lin Tian continued to feed Kobe.
Kobe's score is still constantly refreshing.
62 points, 64 points, 67 points...
Everyone expected that Kobe's score could break through [-] points today.
But with 2 minutes left in the game, the Lakers have already led the Jazz by [-] points.
Kobe took the initiative to ask Hood for a foul, and then asked Scott to replace him.
Hearing that Kobe wanted to replace him, Scott's eyes widened: "Dude! Are you kidding me? Your fans are going to kill me!"
You know, Kobe is still one three-pointer away tonight, and he can break through [-] points!
Replacing Kobe at this time is almost equivalent to committing a crime!Even if there is no suspense in the game.
Kobe, who was sweating profusely, smiled wryly: "If I don't rest, I will be exhausted! My shoulder and ankle seem to be injured."
As he spoke, he twisted his shoulders and grinned with an extremely painful expression.
After all, Scott has known Kobe for decades, and he knows that the real reason is not this, but because Kobe is unwilling to continue scoring points in garbage time.
Since Kobe took the initiative to ask for a rest, Scott couldn't insist on it. He turned around and shouted at Nick Young: "Nick! You play instead of Kobe!"
Nick Young also showed a complaining expression after getting up: "Coach Scott, you want to kill me! The fans won't agree!"
Scott, who is usually kind, is also very serious at this time: "I am the head coach of the team! You have to listen to me!"
"Okay!" Nick Young and Kobe Bryant high-five, and then ran into the court.
Kobe panted and sat back on the bench.
Sure enough, there was an instant uproar at the scene!
All the fans couldn't believe it:
"Oh! God! What did I see? Scott replaced Kobe at such a critical time! Is he looking for death?"
"Kobe's [-] points soon! Can't we let him get [-] points first!"
"It seems that you don't know Kobe! Although he is a scoring maniac, he has never scored in garbage time, even the night of 81 points!"
"Anyway! To get 67 points is perfect!"
……
Lakers bench.
Lin Tian and Howard returned to the bench with Kobe.
As Kobe's teammates, they know Kobe best, and Kobe doesn't bother to score points in garbage time.
Even if there is a chance to score 100 points in a single game, Kobe will not try to break through unless there is still suspense in the game.
The three set their sights on the field.
Although it is already garbage time, the Jazz are still making their last efforts, but they don't feel good.
On the contrary, the Lakers' substitute players played very smoothly, even opening the point difference to 1 points within 20 minute.
In the last tens of seconds, the Jazz found that fouls were meaningless, and finally stopped attacking.
hum...
A long and loud beep sounded, also announcing the end of the last game of the regular season for the Lakers.
