After a good rest, Stephen has an advantage over Kobe Bryant in terms of physical strength, but Kobe Bryant can concentrate on offense because he doesn't need to take on too many defensive tasks. There are certain advantages.

The contest between the two as scorers has been conducted many times, and even in terms of average statistics, Stephen has always been the winner, but Kobe Bryant, as the league's leading scorer, is also the only one who can compete with Stephen. Players who compete on points.

Moreover, Kobe Bryant's scoring ability in a short period of time is considered by many people to be not too far behind Stephen. His problem is that he cannot maintain that performance throughout the game, especially he cannot maintain it throughout the season like Stephen. A very high state of play.

Of course, before Stephen, there was another person who did that, and that was Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan’s highest score in a single game was only 69 points. He was dubbed the title of "The Greatest Scorer". Why didn't this honor go to Wilt Chamberlain who scored [-] points in a single game? You must know that Chamberlain also completed the feat of averaging [-] points per game in the season.

On the one hand, the development of basketball at that time was still extremely imperfect, and there was a huge gap between confrontation and competitiveness compared with modern times. On the other hand, Wilt Chamberlain's achievements in other areas were too pitiful. [

Although Michael Jordan did not enter the top of the individual scoring list, but if you look back, you can often see his name, and after the playoffs, you can see that he is almost the one who ruled the world. list.

If the benchmark is based on [-] points, many people can be considered very successful if they can set a record on it once in their entire career, let alone the playoffs, but Stephen has only passed four seasons , according to the average career of a player, it has only been more than one-third of the past, and he has already left many of his own names on this record, and according to his age, if there are no major injuries, he will at least It can still maintain high-efficiency output for about five years. It is difficult to predict how many of his names will be on the list by then.

But Kobe Bryant has entered the twilight years of his career. Even if he is self-disciplined and keeps training hard, at most he can only maintain his state without declining or the decline is not so severe, but if he wants to return to [-]-[-] The state of the year, unless you can find the legendary fountain of youth.

But Kobe Bryant is naturally unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history. He has just stepped out of the shadow of Shaquille O'Neal. He thought that the league would enter its own era. As a result, it has only been brilliant for two or three years and has not achieved complete success. Well, Stephen's challenge is ushered in. If Stephen only challenged him in terms of statistics last season and won, then this season, he has already challenged him in all aspects.

Unfortunately, he was eliminated by the Boston Celtics last season, only half a step away from the championship, and now Kobe Bryant considers it the biggest regret in his basketball career, because in this season, when he watched After seeing the performance of the Sonics, he had already realized the difficulty of this division final, but when the failure was about to come to him, Kobe Bryant found that his resistance was so powerful.

I worked so hard to get two points, and when I came back, Stephen also got two points. I took a great risk and made a three-pointer, but Stephen shot without pressure.

Is this a gap?Kobe Bryant didn't think so, but the gap was only a few points, but Kobe Bryant could not narrow it down with all his strength. The game entered the fourth quarter. Kobe Bryant felt more and more tired. They have to put in more effort than before. This is a very bad signal, but the point difference is still fluctuating around ten percent, and there is no tendency to shrink at all.

Stephen's scoring became more and more stable, not as risky as him, but the point difference did not shrink. Kobe Bryant began to hand the ball to his teammates when his physical strength almost reached the limit, although they also played very well. He worked hard, but the performance of the Nai Sonic team was also good. There was only a [-]-point difference, but it was like a wide and endless river, which was difficult to cross.

Kobe Bryant looked up at the score, a bit disbelieving, but it was true. If he lost this game, his hard work this season would be in vain, but his body seemed to weigh a thousand catties, especially It was the two legs, more like they were filled with lead, making it impossible to move them or lift them up.

Kobe Bryant hated himself for not showing more energy in the previous games, and at the same time hated why the team's strength was not as good as the opponent's, and hated himself for meeting an opponent like Stephen, who made people so hard, but Soon, Kobe Bryant felt the wavering in his mind, quickly shook his head, put this thought aside, and rejoined the battle.

Seeing that the game time is getting shorter and shorter, the entire Los Angeles Lakers team began to explode, using hits from top to bottom, and their combat effectiveness rose directly, especially Kobe Bryant, who suddenly seemed to be resurrected with full blood, even Stephen couldn't defend , and he no longer focuses on outside shooting as before, but keeps hitting the basket, giving people a kind of return to Kobe Bryant when he was 20 years old. The speed, footsteps, and reactions are all the same as the tired There is a huge difference between Kobe Bryant who is in full swing.

Yao Ming alone paid two fouls on him and had to leave the game early to rest. Fortunately, the team still has Coupard. In other words, Andrew Bynum's explosion at the basket will also make the Sonics unable to cope.

In these nearly 3 minutes, the Sonics were almost unable to fight back. Even Stephen could only focus all his energy on defense. The offensive efficiency was greatly reduced, and the gap in the score was constantly being narrowed. , Carlesimo called two timeouts in a row, and Earl Watson and Serge Ibaka were also replaced, still unable to stop the downward trend.

Pau Gasol was bleeding from the corner of his eye after being hit by Kurt Thomas, but he still firmly attacked the basket, causing a foul by Kurt Thomas.Trevor Ariza clung to Stephen, preferring to be dragged by Stephen to slide on the floor than to give Stephen a chance to score offensively. The scene was full of blood and sweat, and the fans at Staples Center were also brutally treated Shocked by the atmosphere, except for the voices on the court, there was almost no sound coming out. They hadn't seen the Lakers play like this for many years. Even if they lost games in the past, the Lakers lost with such temperament.

Although they are not used to such a team, this kind of game makes them boil and burn from the heart to the whole body. This is something they have never felt before. They feel like they are in the Roman arena. People are fighting like wild animals.

Kobe Bryant continued to attack the basket, even if he was directly blocked by Coupard from the air just now, he could no longer care about self-protection at this time, because he could not bear the price of losing the game, but in his In front of him, there was always a figure harassing him like a shadow, making him unable to give full play to himself. Kobe Bryant was so angry that he swung his elbow and hit the opponent's chest hard, but the opponent didn't even hum. With a sound, he continued to wrap himself around him, like the vine that couldn't be untied, making people uncomfortable but not fatal. Only at this time did he feel how annoying Stephen's defense was, it was like being wrapped around his body. The feeling is really too uncomfortable, and no matter how hard you try, it is hard to get rid of it.

The score was getting closer and closer, from three points to two points, and then Derek Fisher directly overtook the score with a three-pointer. The home team cheered, but then Stephen made a three-pointer and immediately overtook the score again. Kobe Bryant also chose a three-pointer, but he went out, and Stephen made another three-pointer, widening the point difference to Five points, and at this time the game entered the last minute.

Stephen looked at Kobe Bryant with the eyes that you are destined to fail, no excitement, no excitement, only iceberg-like calm can be seen from his eyes, Stephen never worried about the opponent's explosion, because he was always ready The preparations for the response, the Lakers saw the edge of elimination, so they broke out, but Stephen also saw that victory was not far in front of him, so he was fully prepared.
