In the second half, Wei Xia and Kobe scored consecutive points through mutual cooperation.

Sometimes, Kobe's back is facing the basket, and Wei Xia will never stay on the outside. He will try every means to penetrate into the opponent's penalty area. Only by entering the penalty area can he score points efficiently.

However, Brand will never let Wei Xia succeed easily.

Although Brand's bare feet are average, his effective height is quite impressive. He is over two meters and has a 228 cm wingspan, which makes his standing height even better than most of the 210 cm inside lines.

Standing and touching high is one of the most important talents for the inside.

Without this, it is difficult to become a defensive gate.

People who stand tall and touch well can block or cause serious interference when standing. Duncan is the strongest person who can complete defense while standing. However, nothing is absolutely true. Even if God gives him extremely high talent, some people don’t know how to use it. For example, Li Muhao.

Brand's standing tall and outstanding blocking sense made his garrison one of the most difficult barriers to break.

Wei Xia didn't have to score himself.

If Brand focuses on him, he passes the ball.

If Brand chooses to protect his skills, he will firmly attack the basket.

Sometimes, outside players would come to help, and Wei Xia would return the ball to Kobe. In that case, Kobe would either fall out of the position or have a good one-on-one opportunity, and it would be no problem to attack the city and siege.

It can be said that throughout the third quarter, the Lakers' offense pointed to Wei Xia and Kobe in life.

Odom has lost the desire to ignite himself since the first round of the Sun.

Finding the motivation to work hard is the top priority of his career.

When Wei Xia and Kobe led the situation, Odom made efforts on the defensive end at most, and acted as a threat-free turret on the offensive end, and was often ignored by his teammates and opponents. He was content with his own convenience and leisurely watched the positional war that seemed to have nothing to do with him continued.

The third section is the key section.

Brand's feel failed to recover, and Kobe also locked up Mobley, who performed well in the second quarter.

The Lakers seized the rare opportunity and played a 25-15 offense in a single quarter, giving the Lakers a double-digit lead before the arrival of the fourth quarter.

This is what the Lakers have been looking forward to. Only when the Clippers perform poorly in the inside line can their outside line expand their advantage.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Wei Xia and Kobe cooperated more closely.

Usually Wei Xia always makes goals for Kobe.

Tonight, Kobe is more of a goal for Wei Xia.

Because as long as Kobe gets the ball, the Clippers, who were panicked on both sides of the offense and defense, would involuntarily put pressure on him.

The Clippers' excessive double-teaming gave Wei Xia a lot of room to display their skills.

He jumped into the air many times to complete the dunk, and in the fourth quarter alone, he had four free dunks.

Three of those four dunks were selected into the top ten goals of the day. In addition to some shots in the first three quarters, the top ten goals of the day? The Lakers took over half of them.

Wei Xia, who mainly made efforts on the defensive end in the first half, quickly scored points in the second half.

When the overall situation was decided, he completed the breakthrough of the positional battle and made a layup.

The Lakers led by 16 points? Finally? The Clippers also gave a crushing defeat.

Kobe made great contributions in this game? 26 points and 13 assists in a single game.

13 assists allowed him to surpass his personal playoff career single-game assist record with 11 assists in a single game set against the Spurs in the 2001 Western Conference Finals.

The defensive end and Wei Xia restricted Brand and also defended Mobley in the match to silently? The previous four games were even more pressing the old cat to death.

Offense, defense, organization?

His scoring may be just as mediocre as the regular season, but his performance was amazing after watching the game.

Some viewers even think that Kobe's score was wrong, and his presence was too strong?     It gives people a visual impact that he shouldn't have "only" scored 26 points.

Wei Xia is exactly the opposite? His final statistics are 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

His data is basically in line with impressions, comprehensiveness, and key, especially the removal of Kobe's seal.

At the press conference that day, the reporter asked Kobe the most about his cooperation with Wei Xia.

In the second half? Their cooperation is perfect, and it seems that they have played together for ten years.

"Sometimes I would communicate with him on the court? But after a season of side-by-side, more often I just need to feel the other person's thoughts between him. He knows when I want the ball? I will make eye contact with him, the same way? I also know when he wants the ball. Sometimes? When I feel good? I will signal to him, 'I feel good now, I need to shoot, I'm ready, come on.' That's how we work together."

Wei Xia agreed with Kobe's words, and it was rare to make fun of him in front of the media: "He is such a player, he is such a person. If I get the chance, he will always find me. If he gets the chance, I will tell him to do it decisively."

Game 5 was perfect for the Lakers.

However, they need to win two more games.

The final battle arrived soon, and they could not expect the Clippers' inside line to be in a row.

May 16, 2006, evening, game6 game night.

The Clippers' lessons learned from the second defeat were as follows: "Our inside feels bad."

Sam Kassel.

Very direct, realistic, and simple.

Fans will be disdainful when they hear it: This is the final summary of the NBA after the game? I can do it too.

When fighting against the Lakers, the Clippers have nothing else, they are strong insiders.

In the three games I won before, every victory, whether it is a scene or a statistics, their inside advantage dominates the level.

After the downturn in the fifth game, Brand quickly adjusted back.

Game 6, according to the competition system, the Lakers' home court is counted.

But the Lakers have consciously played six home games in a row.

If you share a stadium in the same city derby, then there is no such thing as a away game when you meet in the playoffs.

There are also seven home games for the Clippers, at most, only fans prefer the Lakers. They have been ridiculed by the noble Purple Gold nobles for twenty years. Are they still ten days and half a month away? The best counterattack is to defeat their beloved team and throw the dignity of the Purple Gold nobles to the ground and trample on them.

It seemed as if in order to make up for the mistakes of the previous game, Brand bravely took the ball to attack at the beginning of the game.

He scored 6 points with 3,50% of his 6 shots in a single quarter, and no free throws were made.

The good kids who came out of Duke were all gentle and not aggressive. Even if they wanted to find a place, they would look for each other in front of each other. When Brand's senior Grant Hill led the Pistons to fight the Eagles, Mutombo gave him an iron elbow. Devil Mountain stood up silently, and in the next round, the position broke through the dunk and responded 21 times.

Brand has the same traits as his seniors.

What made the Lakers even more uneasy was that double-teaming had no effect on him.

In the last game, Wei Xia and Kobe attacked each other from the front and back, making him lose his mind. After two days of adjustment, he regained his confidence. The offense went smoothly and gave out 2 assists.

Those 2 assists indicate that Brand has returned to normal.

During the playoffs, Brand averaged 4 assists per game. He was not afraid of double-teaming, but he was in a bad state in the last game and his offense felt cold, and he also lost his fearful ability to support him.

At the same time, Wei Xia had a problem.

He wanted to defend Kassel too much, and the referee that night did not want the rookie to force the veteran to act, so he blew him three fouls in eight minutes.

Weisha left the game, and Cassel made 6 shots like Brand, and scored 2, but he scored 9 points.

Weisha and Parker gave him five free throws together.

From that time on, the game was under control of the Clippers.

Wei Xia never found any feeling because of many fouls. Even though Kobe had the ability to score 30 points in a single game, he could not win this game with just 30 points.

Wei Xia was exhausted by fouls and could not play more. The offensive pressure and defensive pressure fell on Kobe.

In the second quarter, Kobe made 3 of 4 and Brand made 3 of 6.

The two of them scored 8 points each, and the gap between teammates became bigger.

Corey Mageti of the Clippers stood up and scored 7 points.

Sean Livingston made a mid-range jump shot so that even Wei Xia had no temper.

It's too high, and it's amazing to take action. Whether to enter or not depends on him. Wei Xia is worried that the foul is not dared to fight, so he has a vicious cycle.

In the second half, Kobe scored 19 points in a single quarter, finally making the Lakers score more than 2 points in a single quarter.

However, the Lakers still entered the last quarter with a backward attitude.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers led the Lakers by 5 points.

Kobe led the others to chase after him. Wei Xia was troubled by the number of fouls, and her playing time was fragmented. She felt that she was replaced because of a foul. She couldn't get up any condition.

He played the worst game since the start of the playoffs.

Four minutes before the final game, he doubled Brand and was called a foul and received his sixth foul.

He left the game for the first time in his playoff career.

The statistics he left were 7 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, no steals and blocks, and 6 fouls.

Teammates continued to fight until the end.

Brian Cook made two three-pointers in a single quarter, and even Smash Parker turned on the opponent's Dead Mode, taking off a positional battle and dunked.

Kobe scored 10 points in a single quarter.

Then, the Lakers beat the Clippers by another 2 points in a single quarter.

But in the end, they lost.

He chased after step by step, but he still lost by 3 points.

2 to 4
