Chapter 304 The Pressure of the Lakers

In the chatting of the ESPN commentary team, the third game of the second round of the playoffs officially started. Bynum grabbed the initiative today. Fisher just took the ball in his hand. At that time, they could no longer stop Kobe who was rushing up.

Tyson Chandler was the only inside player who could keep up with Kobe's speed after Kobe rushed into the Mavericks defense zone, but Kobe avoided his palm with a lever and put the ball perfectly into the basket.

2-0!

Fast break at the beginning, fast break and goal!

Back on defense, Kobe heard huge cheers from the Lakers fans.

Even though they, as home fans, knew that the Lakers would play very fiercely in their last stand today, they never expected that the pace of the game would be so fast from the beginning.

Kobe showed his fangs from the very beginning, obviously planning to tear the Mavericks apart from the very beginning!

"Kobe is showing a certain attitude, let's see how the Mavericks will deal with it!" TNT explained today's game is still Kenny Smith and Barkley.

After the Lakers scored the goal just now, they watched the Mavericks intently. They really wanted to know how these guys would respond after Kobe gave him a blow!

"Take it easy guys, the shot clock is 24 seconds, we don't need to play so fast!"

Jason Kidd, who controls the ball in the frontcourt, chose to play steadily.

"This is a good choice. Never get into the opponent's rhythm. This is the main point that an excellent No. [-] player should master. Jason Kidd is an expert in this area!" Bill Wharton is satisfied with Jason Kidd's handling.

It's just that Jason Kidd had just dribbled two steps away from the three-point line, and Fisher directly pounced on him, not giving him a chance to play slowly!
"Is it an oppressive defense so soon?" Kenny Smith was a little surprised. He had no idea that the Lakers would adopt an oppressive defense from the very beginning.

He didn't think about it, and Jason Kidd didn't think about it. Fortunately, his reaction speed was very fast. When he was oppressed, he immediately turned around and put his back against Fisher.

"careful!"

Lin Yang, who was watching from the bench, suddenly yelled at him at this moment. As soon as Lin Yang finished yelling, Jason Kidd felt that his dribble was empty.

The ball is gone!
Jason Kidd hurriedly looked for the ball, but saw the guy wearing the Lakers jersey No. 24 dribbling the ball and rushing directly towards their defense zone, completing a dunk with a bang!

"Kobe stole Jason Kidd and made a fast-break dunk in an instant. This pre-judged steal is really great. I haven't realized it at all. This guy has already passed the ball. Kobe's instant power is really amazing. It's hard to imagine that this guy will be 33 years old!"

Drexler was full of praise for Kobe's steal and fast break, and the audience at the scene even gave out huge cheers at this time.

Lakers 4-0!

Kenny Smith watched the Lakers players quickly set up their defensive formation, nodded with obvious caution on his face, and said, "The Lakers put enough pressure at the beginning of the game. They have shown their attitude from the very beginning. They must win this game! Although it is only two rounds, the pressure on the Mavericks in these two rounds is enough for this team to take the lead in the next time. As long as they maintain this morale, they will end the first quarter as the leader in the third game of the series for the first time!"

In Kenny Smith's view, the Lakers took the lead, and as the game continued, everything developed as he expected. The Lakers kept pressing the Mavericks in momentum, and the Mavericks had not been able to play a consistent offense. Some points, but they still ended the first quarter with 5 points behind 6 to 7.

"This game is a little difficult for the Mavericks!"

It's just that although there are only 2 points left after catching up, Bill Walton thought that the Mavericks would become very difficult in the next game before the start of the second quarter!

"Even though they had chased the point difference to only 2 points, they failed to force Kobe from the bench before the end of the first quarter!"

Kobe scored 6 points in the first quarter today. Not many points, but every goal boosted morale, especially the two offenses at the beginning directly suppressed the morale of the Lakers. In the middle of the first quarter, he also completed a mid-range shot that interrupted the morale of the Mavericks.

Then at 8 minutes and 11 seconds of the first quarter, he was replaced to rest, and until the end of the game, this guy didn't play again!

Kobe got a break in the first quarter, something that never happened in the first two games!In the first two games, the Mavericks basically started the game from the second quarter, but today it is not possible. Kobe will definitely play at the beginning of the second quarter after resting for such a long time in the first quarter.

It will be very difficult for the Mavericks to open up the situation.

This is why Bill Walton said that the next game of the Mavericks will become difficult!

"Guys, show your fighting spirit. The game has just started. We only lost two points. We have played more difficult games than this. Why are you being disturbed now? This is something I can't figure out. I hope you can maintain a normal mentality. We have won this team twice. Now, what we have to do is to win them for the third time!"

Rick Carlisle also seemed to realize that the second quarter would become more difficult. Before the start of the game, he invited everyone to drink two bowls of "chicken soup" and did not talk about any tactics. After everyone's eyes regained some fighting spirit, he said: "Let's go back to the state we are familiar with. I hope that when the second quarter starts, we can score a few goals in a row and find our own feeling!"
