o pull up and hit the shot. This was a signature move of Kobe’s peak period.
But this was only 2002!
Kobe’s peak was at least after 2005!
But at this time he remembered Nash in the first round of the series.
The trend of desire will make people perform at a super level.
Kobe’s desire is to win!
Moreover, Kobe’s technique has improved significantly in the past two years, especially when he developed a turn and fade last summer.
He is far from the peak, but lacks stability.
In this year in history, the Spurs were killed by Kobe Bryant’s mid-range shot!
Now the Lakers haven’t played against the Spurs, but Kobe is still the same Kobe.
No, to be precise, because of his intervention, Kobe is stronger than at the same time in history!
There was nothing wrong with his plan, but it seemed something unexpected happened and it didn’t work.
Then, it won’t work!
Sun Hao glanced at Kobe in front of him and also chose to attack with the ball.
Kobe’s defense was in place, and Sun Hao’s iconic step-back three-pointer was achieved.
The ball passed Kobe’s fingertips.
“Shua!”
The response came to the net!
Answerball!
The Mavericks broke their scoring drought!
Now that your ability is enough to break through the trap, let’s go head-to-head!
The game entered the scoring session between Kobe and Sun Hao.
A mid-range shot, a three-pointer.

But if Kobe shoots like this, the Mavericks’ chances are obviously much greater.
And one more thing, Kobe has to guard him on the defensive end!
No matter how strong a player’s physical fitness is, it is impossible to take into account both offense and defense.
However, his physical fitness declined in this quarter, and his shooting percentage also declined.
The Lakers also fell into a disadvantage in this quarter.
At halftime, the Mavericks led 52 to 42 by 10 points.
This result made the fans at the scene excited.
O’Neal was still guarded by Kobe!
If they continue playing at this pace, the Mavericks have a good chance of winning back a victory at home!
Lakers locker room.
Phil Jackson didn’t analyze tactics. He asked Kobe to lead everyone through the yoga he usually asked the players to do to relax at a god-level.
Then, he took O’Neal to the office to chat.
“Shaq, you are the core of this team. You should take more shots and be tougher.”
Jackson said earnestly.
O’Neal spread his hands and looked helpless.
This is obviously not his problem. The ball is in Kobe’s hands and there is no way he can grab it.
And Jackson should talk to Kobe about this issue.
He’s done as much as he can.
However, Jackson didn’t seem to think so, and he seemed to have guessed what O’Neal was thinking.
“The ball is in Derek’s hands at the beginnin
