But fortunately, Hinrich and Ariza built a solid defense, making it difficult for Death God Parker and James Posey to defend themselves.

Lin Hao went all out, using three-pointers and mid-range shots to keep the Knicks alive.

At the end of the first half, the score was 48:50.

The Lakers took the lead with a slight advantage thanks to excellent teamwork and tenacious defense.

"Phil, let me rest for a while in the third quarter! I really can't take it anymore!"

In the locker room, James Posey was gasping for breath.

He really didn't expect that defending Lin Hao would be so tiring.

It is not only laborious, but also mentally taxing.

That guy had so many fake moves that he had to concentrate closely every minute.

Especially in the second quarter of the game, he was extremely tired.

Because at that time, in order to save Kobe's physical strength, the Zen Master decided to let him defend Lin Hao, while Kobe was responsible for assisting defense.

"All right!"

"Luke (Walton), you replace James! You just need to help defend!"

The Zen master said helplessly.

As strong as the Lakers' starting lineup is, their bench is as bad.

Mihm, Walton, Vujacic, Brian Cook...

This is the only substitute we can offer at the moment.

"Kobe, can you still hold on?"

The Zen master asked with concern.

"I'm fine!"

Kobe focused mainly on defense in the first half, and now his physical strength is at least two-thirds left.

"That's good. Remember, if you can't hold on any longer, get out!"

"Our goal is to win the championship. It doesn't matter if we give up on just one regular season game!"

The Zen master looked serious.

But Kobe said nothing.

give up?

I can give up other games, but why do you want me to give up this game?

Go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dreams!

Only children do multiple choice questions.

I want both: defeating Lin Hao and winning the championship!

(Lin Hao: You are the one who is actually dreaming!)

The second half of the game begins.

Lakers ball.

As soon as Kobe received the ball, he passed it to Gasol.

Then, he started running without the ball, running all over the court with Lin Hao.

"Hey, can you be tougher and have a one-on-one duel with me?"

"You're making me feel really bad!"

Lin Hao chased after him relentlessly, complaining all the while.

He was quite dissatisfied with Kobe's "despicable" behavior.

Kobe's off-ball movement ability is actually not strong (compared to Lin Hao), but he is very tricky.

He always goes into the internal group, and Lin Hao will miss someone if he is not careful.

Kobe pursed his lips and said nothing, quickening his pace.

Finally, under Odom's screen, he ran out of an open space.

Gasol's passes followed one after another.

The moment he received the ball, Kobe shot.

This time, he even added a fade away to prevent the elusive Lin Hao from blocking his shot.

He felt his hands were burning hot, and as long as he shot successfully, the ball would definitely go in!

That’s when…

"Hey, little guy, here I come again!"

Lin Hao's ferocious laughter rang in his ears.

Kobe shuddered and his hands shook.

"boom!"

Ironclad.

The bounced basketball flew towards Gasol's head.

Just as he was about to grab the rebound...

"This ball belongs to me, don't move!"

Lin Hao roared and rushed from the free throw line to the penalty area.

He jumped high and took the basketball into his arms.

Then, a pass across the field.

At this time, Ariza, who had already rushed to the frontcourt free throw line, jumped high.

"Bang!"

A powerful slam dunk.

Kevin Love's rebound pass!

Lin Hao hasn't been used for a long time.

"Yeah! Got 5 attribute points!"

He made a V-sign toward the audience.

"Wow!"

The home fans screamed with excitement.

"Oh my God, that was a perfect pass!"

Barkley exclaimed.

"Yeah! It's like a precision-guided missile. It flew across the entire field and landed in Trevor's hands."

Kenny Smith lamented.

"Kobe, you coward! Did Lin Gai traumatize you?"

Kobe cursed himself in his heart.
