Domestic fans saw this personnel adjustment and immediately understood the Bulls' intention - they wanted Su Yi to strangle Kobe!

Yang Yi: "We noticed that Su Yi moved to the second position! I remember that he didn't play this position much before."

Director Zhang: "Yes, Su Yi has been swinging a lot in the third and fourth positions in the past. This time is undoubtedly a new attempt. Because what the Bulls want now is Su Yi's defense."

Su Yi made a sideline pass and the Lakers continued to maintain a high-pressure defense.

After Rose got the basketball, Kobe came over.

Fisher defended Su Yi on the outside. Rose passed Kobe with a crossover and quickly passed the ball back.

Su Yi catches the ball and makes a jump shot.

Whoosh!

Absolute height advantage, three-pointer!

107:109.

"pretty!"

The commentary booth cheered in shock.

The Lakers attacked with the ball, and Su Yi clung to Kobe.

Gasol pulled out as a screen. Kobe received the basketball, signaled Gasol to pull away, and singled out Su Yi.

"Now Kobe will definitely have to face Su Yi on the defensive end. It is impossible for Fisher to defend such a big man. His strength and height are not advantages." Yang Yi analyzed.

"But the problem now is that Su Yi's defense of Kobe is also a test for him. We know that Kobe's speed is very fast. It depends on how Su Yi limits it." Director Zhang said.

Kobe made a drastic change of direction and entered the paint, and Su Yi quickly moved sideways to block it.

Two people collided together.

After all, the third position is playing the second position. Su Yi is taller and stronger in body shape, and he is completely worthy of the confrontation.

So he directly used his body to resist Kobe, rather than using his forearms to create a buffer - this could limit Kobe's rapid turn.

The two men fought fiercely against each other.

In this era, there were not so many body hair whistles. In the most critical period, referees would usually leave the problem to the players themselves to handle.

Kobe pushed his arms forward, turned around, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

clang!

The moment Kobe missed the shot, Su Yi pounced and got the offensive rebound.

"pretty!"

"Successful defense!"

The two commentators were very happy.

Of course, Su Yi was more excited. In the first direct conversation, he defeated Kobe and firmly controlled the basketball and advanced forward.

Artest did not rest for a minute throughout the game. Due to his declining physical fitness, it was impossible to keep up with Su Yi.

This time Kobe took the initiative to defend Su Yi alone, and the two pushed each other.

After a holiday special training, Su Yi is now stronger than Kobe. He moved to the inside to face Kobe.

The muscles of the two people collided together, and their hands also had additional movements. The confrontation was particularly fierce.

Despite the difference in body shape, Kobe did not step back at all, and adding fuel to the fire by grabbing position.

However, Kobe is a very smart defensive player. He pushed hard while blocking the position where Su Yi could pass the ball.

The referee's line of sight was blocked here, and the confrontation between the two escalated indefinitely. Kobe locked Su Yi's arm with his right arm.

Rose saw Su Yi facing Kobe in a familiar position and quickly hit the ground and passed the basketball.

The moment the basketball came, Kobe suddenly yanked Su Yi's arm downwards, gained position, and got in front of him.

This ball-stealing technique was also taught by Kobe to Su Yi in training.

The moment Kobe rushed forward, Su Yi immediately realized what was happening and rushed forward like a conditioned reflex.

Almost at the same time, the two arms of Kobe Bryant and Su Yi touched the basketball at almost the same time.

When Su Yi was the first to touch the basketball, he quickly put the ball behind him to protect the ball.

This is the advantage of having a long wingspan.

Facing Kobe who was out of position, an iron-blooded mid-range shot!

Whoosh!

The shot was made.

Su Yi let out an exciting shout. In the official game, he completed a victory over Kobe in one-on-one duels on both offense and defense.

109 square meters!

Kobe quickly looked for opportunities to attack, and Su Yi did not dare to slack off at all.

He has trained with Kobe so many times and knows how difficult it is to completely defend Kobe.

There are more than three minutes left in the game, and every attack is important.

Fisher holds the ball on the outside and organizes the offense.

Kobe landed in the mid-range on the left baseline.

Su Yi locked his arms firmly on his waist and pressed against Kobe.

Kobe stopped, looked at Su Yi and said: "I'm only 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 meters), why do you have to guard so tightly in the penalty area?"

Su Yi shook his head and said: "I know your tricks, Corvo. No, I won't be fooled. Don't even think about catching a basketball here."

The two men immediately pushed each other. Kobe used his strength and ran back, receiving a pass from Fisher.

Just when he was about to lean back and take action, Su Yi stood in front of Kobe like a mountain.

clang!

Shoot the iron!

"Two successful defenses in a row! Su Yi won consecutive victories in a direct dialogue with Kobe!" Yang Yi said excitedly.

"We see that now is a good opportunity for the Bulls to take the lead!" Director Zhang said.

Su Yi's physical fitness also declined due to the successive battles between Artest and Kobe.

Kobe took advantage of Su Yi's decrease in speed and continued to move laterally, preparing to intercept the passing basketball.

Before Su Yi could come over to respond.

Rose faced Fisher and used his tearing speed to eat his opponent alive and attack the inside.

Twist the twist in the opposite direction and pull the rod!

Whoosh!

Rose flew in the air and made the most gorgeous pull-up layup, making Gasol and Odom the backdrop.

The Lakers requested a timeout and made substitutions.

"The roses are blooming!" Director Zhang said directly.

"Beautiful, Rose stepped up! The Bulls have a greater chance of winning!" Yang Yi was extremely excited and explained directly.

However, Yang Yi soon realized that as a professional commentator, his words just now were inappropriate, and he said again: "At the last moment, Rose found his touch. The pressure came to Kobe's side, and the game undoubtedly became more exciting!"

When Su Yi wanted to defend Kobe alone, Gasol stood in front of him like a big iron door.

The Lakers organized their own decent triangle offense.

Other players continued to cover and run counterattack to create opportunities for Kobe.

Kobe is the core of the entire tactical system.

Vujacic, who had just come on the court, positioned himself in the left corner for a three-pointer, attracting Su Yi's defense.

Kobe Bryant faced James Johnson and passed him with a quick mamba move.

After entering the inside, he used the strength of his waist and abdomen to dodge in the air to avoid Noah's defense, and then dunked and hung the basket with both hands.

"The Lakers' tactical system knows how to open up space for Kobe. It's not enough for Su Yi to break the triangle offense. Balanced team defense is also needed," said Director Zhang.

111:111.

Tied again!

There is only the last 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the game.

On-site technical statistics are transmitted.

Kobe Bryant scored 37 points today, Su Yi scored 32 points, and Rose scored 26 points.

DeNagro requested a timeout.

A sharp whistle sounded, accompanied by bursts of cheers from the Staples Center, and the players from both sides entered the court.
