Chapter 236 Surpassing Joko and achieving 10 consecutive 40(2/2)
This time the old blacksmith struck hard, and when he turned around, he secretly hit Sun Yi in the chest with his elbow.
Sun Yi failed to keep up with Kobe after being knocked away, and his defense was completely out of position.
Naochi seized the opportunity and hit a fadeaway jumper.
The ball transitions and the Warriors attack.
After suffering a heavy loss in the last round, Sun Yi naturally wanted to recover.
As the saying goes, revenge does not take overnight!
Sun Yi quickly made a move without the ball and used the cover of his teammates to dislocate and face Kobe.
After achieving his goal, he ran to the mid-range area on the right side, leaned against Nacha and reached for the ball.
Upon seeing this, Bledsoe immediately passed the ball.
When Sun Yi received the pass, he didn't say anything harsh. He lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity, chattering crazily with his shoulders, and moved towards the penalty area step by step.
Kobe felt the heat in his chest and knew that the guy in front of him definitely did it on purpose.
So petty!
After Sun Yi hit Kobe with his back and came to the right edge of the penalty area, he suddenly pushed away Kobe and turned over to shoot a fadeaway jumper.
Kobe was knocked back two or three steps by this powerful and heavy force, and missed a good opportunity to pounce and interfere.
A swish sound!
Hollow into the net!
After scoring the goal, Sun Yi quickly turned around and retreated.
When I passed by Kobe, I felt nagging in my heart.
"Nacha, we are even!"
Looking at Sun Yi's leaving figure, Naochi laughed angrily, realizing that this brat had his own way of doing things.
In the subsequent games, Sun Yi and Kobe no longer competed, and each played around the team's tactical system.
The Lakers are worthy of being the defending champions. Seriously, they are very strong. They recovered a few points in the second half of the second quarter and narrowed the point difference to single digits.
At the end of the half, the score on the big screen was 60 to 52, and the Warriors led by 8 points entering the second half.
In the first half of the game, Sun Yi and Kobe's performance was remarkable.
Sun Yi scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
Kobe scored 30 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
Lakers head coach Phil Jackson believed that he could not stop Sun Yi from scoring 40, and he was thinking about how to lead the team to overtake the score in the second half and win the final victory.
Warriors head coach Nelson is fully cooperating with his disciples to get 40 points. It would be best if they can win the game.
After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half of the game began.
At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides once again increased their defensive intensity.
The shooting percentages of Sun Yi and Kobe have both been affected, but it is impossible to limit their scoring.
In this way, the game fell into an anxious state, and the score difference could not be widened.
On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson frowned as he watched the situation on the court.
Such an anxious game is very unfavorable for the Lakers. The point difference must be recovered, otherwise in the fourth quarter, physical fitness will definitely be the Lakers' biggest enemy.
Immediately, he immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to adjust.
After the timeout, the Lakers changed their offensive strategy, using Gasol and Bynum to attack the inside.
In the first half of the game, Kobe was basically responsible for the offense, so Gasol and Bynum remained very physically fit.
The Lakers' offense has achieved good results after making changes.
Gasol and Bynum scored 14 points together, leading the team to a 14-4 offensive climax, narrowing the point difference to only 2 points.
Seeing that the score was about to be tied, Sun Yi once again took up the offensive task.
He relied on his personal ability to score 5 points in a row by shooting inside and outside, stabilizing the situation on the court.
After solving the problems on the offensive end, the Warriors strengthened their interior defense and assisted in double-teaming to disrupt the offensive rhythm of Gasol and Bynum.
The defensive effect was very good, paralyzing the Lakers' offense.
At this critical moment, Kobe, as the leader of the team, naturally has to step up and tackle the difficulties.
Facing Battier's defense, he hit consecutive difficult fadeaway jumpers, opening up the situation for the Lakers.
Just like that, the third quarter ended and the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with a 6-point lead.
After the inter-section break, the fourth quarter begins.
After the game started in the fourth quarter, the Warriors took the lead and accelerated the attack, leaving Bynum, a big center, useless.
The Warriors' plan was very successful. They frequently got opportunities to use more to attack less, and their offense was very smooth.
The Lakers did not fall into the Warriors' rhythm. They slowed down the pace of the game, moved into a positional attack, took advantage of the inside to score, and tightly closed the gap.
Six minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lakers players had physical problems and their shooting percentage dropped sharply.
Kobe also wanted to stand up and act as a hero again, but it backfired.
Being consumed by Teacher Tony, Shane and Sun Yi in turn, even the old blacksmith couldn't stand it even if he was an iron man.
The Lakers' offense was paralyzed and there were also problems on defense.
The Warriors seized the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack and once again widened the point difference.
In the subsequent games, the Warriors showed an iron-clad defense, dispelling the Lakers' attempts to chase points.
With the difficult three-pointer, the Lakers completely lost hope of overtaking the score.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 114-108, winning their ninth consecutive victory.
In terms of statistics, 4 players from the Warriors scored in double figures.
Sun Yi undoubtedly won the honor of the best player of the game.
In the 45 minutes he played, he scored 45 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Another 40 hit made Sun Yi 10 consecutive 40 games, surpassing the record of 9 consecutive 40 games jointly held by Jordan and Kobe, ranking third in history.
The top two are both Chamberlain's 14 consecutive 40-game records.
Sun Yi has a long way to go to surpass Zhang Dashuai's record.
The most outstanding player on the Lakers is Kobe Bryant.
In the 46 minutes he played, he scored 48 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
After the game, Kobe took the initiative to hug Sun Yi.
"Boy, congratulations, but don't be proud, I will get the record back!" Kobe said arrogantly.
"Nachai, you are always welcome to break the record, I'm afraid you are powerless," Sun Yi replied with a smile.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few words, agreed to train together in the summer, then said goodbye to each other and walked towards the tunnel.
When Sun Yi came to the player tunnel, he was blocked by media reporters and was forced to accept a post-match interview.
After the interview, Sun Yi returned to the locker room to celebrate with his teammates, and then went to the shower room to wash up.
After taking a shower, Sun Yi returned to the locker room and said hello to his teammates who had not yet left, took his belongings and left the locker room.
Arriving at the parking lot, Sun Yi saw that beautiful figure and immediately walked over.
At the same time, Lily Collins smiled and waved to Sun Yi, and ran over excitedly. Seeing that there was no one around, she threw herself into Sun Yi's arms.
Sun Yi responded immediately, lowering his head and kissing Collins passionately.
After some lingering, the two separated with unfinished feelings.
.
"Get in the car! Go back and do business!"
Sun Yi thought about Collins' reward and wished he could go back immediately.
After returning to his villa in Los Angeles, Sun Yi got his wish and saw Collins' fashion show.
During this period, there were naturally several hearty battles.
If Sun Yi had not returned to Auckland with the team early tomorrow morning, Sun Yi would definitely have a duel with Collins until dawn.
Early the next morning, Sun Yi drove out of the villa to meet up with the team and will take a special plane back to Auckland to prepare for the next game.
