59 to 56, the Los Angeles Lakers fell behind by three points in the first half.

However, Lakers fans who watched the first half of the game did not think that the score difference between the two sides in this game seemed so close.

The reason why the Lakers were able to maintain this point difference in the first half was that Durant scored 22 points on 8 of 14 shots.

It was entirely due to Kobe's desperate efforts in the first half.

At the same time, the strongest person in the Seattle SuperSonics didn't take any shots at all in the first half!

The feeling in the first half was that Kobe kept picking and rolling with Artest, kept mismatching Rondo, kept scoring, and kept scoring. In the end, the opponent was not Yes, but Durant!

No one may believe it if you say it.

In the first half of the tiebreaker in Game 7 between the Lakers and SuperSonics, the person facing Kobe was not Yes, but Durant!

The final result actually felt evenly matched.

Kobe scored slightly more points, but his efficiency was lower.

Kobe scored 25 points in the first half on 10 of 18 shots.

Even with Kobe's performance, the Lakers were 3 points behind!

It's very disappointing when your leader tries his best to compete with the opponent's second leader, but the opponent's leader hasn't even made a move yet, and you're still three points behind.

The Lakers fans and Phil Jackson at the scene are a little desperate now.

Even the sweaty Kobe had a look of disbelief written on his face when he came off the court.

In this game, Phil Jackson actively gave up the triangle offense so that he could bypass Yes' defense.

Yes's routine for the triangle offense means that he can't get around Yes's defense at all when playing the triangle offense. Whether with or without the ball, he can't get around Yes's defense.

Therefore, Phil Jackson designed a tactic for him in this game to use Artest's huge body and strength to constantly pick and roll and misplacement to hit Rondo or misplacement to hit Durant.

If Rondo is defending Artest, then he will hit Rondo out of position; if Durant is defending Artest, he will hit Durant out of position.

These two guys are definitely much easier to fight than Yes, but they are also not that easy to fight!

The wingspan of these two people is indeed long. Although Rondo looks thin, he is quite strong.

The data and efficiency he produced in the first half were really the result of his all-out efforts.

Damn it, he tried his best, but in the end he couldn't force Yes out!

Damn it, is it because I don’t attack you offensively as an undergraduate and avoid attacking you, so you have no interest in attacking anymore?!

Kobe's heart is very complicated right now.

As a person who has always wanted to challenge Yes, he certainly did not want to avoid the battle, but the team's victory required it. After the sixth game, he was willing to listen to Phil Jackson and implement the team's tactics.

But as soon as he thought about the fact that he was not facing Yes but Durant in the first half, Kobe felt as if he had eaten a fly.

There is a feeling that someone who is a good man is as famous as your mere Kevin Durant!

He doesn't have any objections to Durant. He still admires Durant. Durant is still a fan of him and TMC. He also took good care of Durant when he was in the All-Stars.

But this makes people feel even more uncomfortable, okay!

In the NBA in the Western Conference, it is obviously South Kobe Bryant and North Yes. How come this game suddenly becomes Kobe South North and KD?!

3 out of 3!

Yes took three shots in the first half!

These three shots were because Artest succeeded twice in isolation against Yes twice, and Yes responded twice.

And the time Randolph hit Yes once in a misplaced position, and Yes responded.

Except for these three attacks, Yes didn't even have the desire to take action in the first half!

If Yes hadn't been a domineering and face-saving person, if Artest and Randolph hadn't beaten Yes three times, Kobe would have even thought that Yes might not have even taken these three shots!

Not interested!

Yes has no interest in taking action in this game!

In the previous games, he could feel that Yes did not go all out.

You don’t have to go all out, you still have to show your strength.

But in this game, Yes no longer even has the interest to show his strength!

This is a mockery of him and the Lakers!

Someone’s self-esteem has been somewhat hurt!

but!

My pride is hurt, but it’s no wonder Yes’s game was so Buddhist.

Yes This season, the Sonics are carried in almost every game. Even the Iron Man will be tired, right?

There have been 21 playoff games out of 82 in the regular season, and 103 games have been played!

You can finally take a break, why not take a break?

What's more, when Kobe Bryant and Durant were fighting against each other, he couldn't beat Durant to death. What qualifications did he have to ask Yes to take action personally?

In the final analysis, their self-esteem was not lost by Yes, but by themselves!

"This game is over for the Lakers."

In this game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, everyone in the Heat hopes that the SuperSonics will lose.

Although James has mixed emotions, he wants to fight Yes for revenge, but he also doesn't want to face Yes.

Generally speaking, he would rather see Yes eliminated in the Western Conference Finals than revenge against Yes in the finals.

But the game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers was such that James and the Heat didn't know what to say.

"Every year, the West seems to have a lot of strong teams and a lot of superstars. There are almost 15 best lineups in the West every season. There are almost more than 12 in the West. The West is strong and the East is weak. It's really like this.

In the game, these strong men can't even beat the Sonics' second-in-command."

"Haha, so, the strongest one is our Heat. If they are really strong, can the Spurs be defeated by someone who has won four games in a row? If they are really strong, can Kobe Bryant not even be able to control people like Durant?

"

"In the past, the Eastern Conference was really weak, but the Western Conference was not much better. The most difficult championship in history, Yes last season was just a good era!"

"If it were the Heat last season, the Heat would have won the playoffs and won the championship!"

Listening to the surrounding Heat players' cynicism about Kobe and the Lakers, James didn't say anything on the surface. He was a superstar and would still have to deal with Kobe and the others in the future.

There are some things you can't say and keep the relationship superficial.

But in his heart, James totally agrees.

Before Yes appeared, Kobe and he were competitors for the number one player in the league.

His competitive goal has always been Kobe.

After Yes appeared, the competitive relationship between the two was eliminated.

But no matter what, Kobe is one of the top five or even top three players in the league!

Figures at the top of the NBA pyramid.

It's such a character who can only compete with the Sonics' second-in-command.

It would be fine if Durant was a second-in-command like Wade.

However, Durant is still the kind of talent that is recognized around the world as not very good. He was trained and promoted by Yes from what Durant himself said to be an ordinary person.

Kobe can't even control Durant. Does this mean that players of Kobe's level can be mass-produced by Yes?

In the first half of the battle between Kobe and Durant, Kobe did win, but not by much. At least there was no sense of a difference in quality.

It can be seen that there is a gap between Durant and Kobe in terms of offense, but they are still on the same level.

This is a bit embarrassing...

I'm afraid it's not just viewers who are unfriendly to Kobe who think Kobe is a bit embarrassed.

Even Kobe himself feels embarrassed, right?

but……

You, a superstar of this level, can't even control someone else's second-in-command, so you deserve to be embarrassed!

James thought to himself with some disdain.

For a guy like Durant, he can hit two!

Tough situation!

The Lakers are in a very difficult situation now!

Durant is the password for this series between the SuperSonics and the Lakers.

Durant's state determines the outcome of the showdown between the SuperSonics and Lakers, two teams with similar lineups and equal strengths.

If the Durant in the previous sixth game was the Durant that Phil Jackson most wanted to see, then the Durant in this game is the Durant that Phil Jackson least wanted to see.

Without Durant, the SuperSonics and Lakers are inseparable. With Durant, if Durant goes undercover, the Lakers will win. With Durant, if Durant does not go undercover, the Lakers will most likely be in trouble. If Durant

Super awesome, the Lakers will definitely kneel down!

Durant in the first half was the super-god Durant!

The Lakers didn't seem to be kneeling. It was really thanks to Kobe's performance and Yes's watching the excitement.

To be honest, everyone's focus in this series is on Yes and Durant.

The focus of the world is whether Yes spent so much money in this series to help Durant get up.

In fact, outside of this focus, Kobe's performance in this series has really made him very, very satisfied.
