At the end of the half, Kobe, who made 6 of 17 shots, continued to enjoy Staples' cheers.
Although the explosion failed, he still scored the highest 16 points in the Lakers team. It was still Kobe who seemed to lead the Lakers forward with difficulty.
After the intermission, the Bobcats made further efforts.
The offensive end is still a strict high-level support and empty cuts on both sides, but occasionally Li Ke or Curry's singles, and Jamison, who came on the bench, suddenly made a cold arrow, and the Bobcats made a more efficient attack.
Let’s look at the Lakers again, Koga’s pick-and-roll still has certain power.
Kobe quickly increased his shooting number to 10 goals, but he used a full 8 shots.
If it was the old era, Kobe, who made 4 of 8 shots, could be said to be very efficient.
But in the new era, Kobe, who made 4 of 8 shots, is no longer able to compete with the Bobcats with a three-pointer from the left and a fast empty cut from the right to catch the ball.
To put it bluntly, times have changed.
In the third quarter, the Bobcats played the Lakers 32-24, leading 13 points in the first half, further widening to 21 points.
Staples' cheers gradually faded, but the incompatible voice kept ringing sharply and suddenly.
Kobe heard various unfriendly names including "Old Snake", "That No. 24", "That Steak", etc.
He was very angry, but after three quarters, Kobe just made 10 of 25 shots, and his shooting percentage was still bleak.
The 21-point backward ended more than half of the game. In the fourth quarter, Kobe insisted on continuing to play, and the Zen master did not stop him.
On the Bobcats, Rivers saw Kobe appearing, and without any hesitation, let Li Ke continue to appear.
So, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Ke faced Kobe again.
First, Kobe played singles, and then broke through and hit the iron.
Then Li Ke, with the same breakthrough and the same ironwork.
Then Kobe continued to make a fuss, but Li Ke entered.
In the end, Kobe finally got to the basket, but was fouled by Li Ke and made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.
Turning his head, Li Ke directly scored a three-pointer.
Back and forth, the Bobcats led by 21 points, and after a few rounds, they further opened to 25 points.
The Zen master waved his hand and replaced Kobe like this.
"The Zen master this season is too Buddhist. Kobe, who made 10 of 27 shots, didn't even say anything?"
"It seems that he will make some statements in the past. The Zen master has always been like this. He is very indulging in his leading stars."
"No, different. Once Kobe was in the state of infinite singles in the past, the Zen master would definitely stand up and mediate, but today he did not have it at all."
"If Kobe could be a little more reasonable at the beginning of this game, this game would not be the ending."
Commentary, Kenny Smith has thrown the blame for the early end of the game to Kobe.
He believes that the strength of the defending champion is definitely not that. The reason why this game was like this was that Kobe's random shots in the first quarter resulted in a situation where the Lakers faced a backward situation at the beginning, which also led to the passiveness of the subsequent games.
Magician Johnson, who appeared as a guest, did not express any statement and seemed to have made accusation.
But Barkley refuted a few words.
Then, the topic changed.
Because the game ended the suspense early, the rest was garbage time.
It was already boring to talk about the quiet Staples Center and then talk about the topics related to the game. Barkley brought the topic to the side of the court.
"Do you know who Sheldon fan who has always been acting very enthusiastic?"
Kenny Smith rolled his eyes: "I know, Julia Roberts is sitting next to her."
"so……"
"So, he is Julia Roberts' niece, Emma Roberts."
"I really didn't expect Sheldon to have a second-generation Hollywood star fan."
"Maybe it's not the fan, but his girlfriend?"
"Leave this task to Craig and ask about it after the game."
...
Time is so difficult to end the game. As a show, Staples Center did not leave the game early like other home teams falling behind in big scores.
Many celebrities stayed in the stadium and waited for the moment when the camera was aimed at them after the game.
As the timer beeps, the audience stood up, and Li Ke was the same.
He stood up and slammed Curry beside him.
Then he turned around and hugged Captain Jack and punched Jordan Jordan.
Afterwards, he squeezed out the crowded crowd and stepped over the long technical table, and Li Ke stretched out his right hand from afar.
Kobe was the same. The two quickly grabbed each other, and exchanged a few words at a distance.
Perhaps, Kobe said: "I am in a bad state in this game, and I will fight again after the game."
Li Ke retorted without any politeness: "No, it has nothing to do with your condition, you are just old."
Finally, Kobe asked Li Ke when he left Luocheng.
The Bobcats have become richer and more generous in the past two seasons, but they will not let the Expedition team leave overnight after the away game.
But at most, they will only stay away for one night and will leave early the next morning.
So, Li Ke shook his head: "Don't think about it, there's no time."
Kobe frowned, and at this time, Vanessa appeared.
"Is Emma Roberts your girlfriend?"
Li Ke was about to shake his head, but Mrs. Wa continued without breathing at all: "Take her to the manor in Orange County, and I will teach her what to do when a player's family watches the game on the spot."
"No……"
Finally, Li Ke shook his head, just when he was about to deny it.
Suddenly, a snow-white and tender arm held him, and a crisp sound came from his ears.
"Okay, we'll go."
Turning his head, Li Ke saw the beautiful but frowning face.
"You are not..."
Li Ke wanted to deny it, but when he turned to look at so many shots, he had a premonition that if he denied it in public, a farce would probably break out on the scene.
After all, his opponent is a 19-year-old Hollywood star who doesn't look like he has a lot of IQ.
And behind this opponent, there is a middle-aged but also brainless Hollywood actress.
Li Ke quietly pulled his arm away and told Kobe: "You will see my explanation on wechat later."
Turning around, Li Ke was pulled away by the press officer. The middle-aged and brainless Hollywood actress, Julia Roberts, took advantage of this time and called Li Ke and said she wanted to talk.
"This woman is serious."
Li Ke shook his head and stood in front of Craig Sager.
The first question he heard was: "First of all, a question from many people, is Emma Roberts, who has been cheering you in this game, your girlfriend?"
Li Ke frowned, but quickly denied: "No, she is not."
"Then why..."
"I don't know, Craig, I really don't know, I think you should ask some questions about the game."
"Okay OK, then let's talk about this game. You and Kobe have one-on-one, and you won again..."
“…”
When a game ends without any suspense, and there are interesting off-field events in this game. After the game, people's focus is often those off-field events.
Facing the interview, Li Ke denied Emma Roberts was his girlfriend.
But at the same time, when he was communicating with Kobe, Emma Roberts suddenly stepped forward and held his arm, making people feel that Li Ke was just trying to cover up the truth.
In addition, someone photographed after the game, Li Ke and Emma Roberts' aunt Julia Roberts had a conversation in the parking lot of Staples.
Public opinion is more certain - the little princess in Hollywood has already been embraced by the nba chosen son.
That's how the headlines on the second day of the competition were written-
"On Christmas Eve, the Lakers lost a crushing home game! Off the field, the chosen one can hold the beauty back!"
emmm...Lebang, who had just led the team to defeat the Knicks in New York, was so scared that he was shocked when he saw this title that he was ready to take out his cell phone and call to explain.
Li Ke's wechat also received a message that Xiao Du was envious and jealous.
At the same time, Li Ke sent an explanation to Chat and was also chatted with a sentence: "Boy, love is love, there is no need to hide it from it."
Li Ke was a little overwhelmed...
As for his communication with the two women in the Roberts family, Li Ke said it very clearly: "First of all, Ms. Emma Roberts, I apologize again for my previous farewell;"
"Secondly, Ms. Emma Roberts, I know very well that you are not my girlfriend, and you are not my fan, so stop your current clown behavior..."
Emma Roberts, however, showed her rogue nature: "First of all, dear Sheldon, who I am, what you said doesn't count."
"Secondly, I must tell you sincerely that I just fell in love with you..."
Fall in love with me?
Li Ke curled his lips, looking disdainful, and he didn't believe it at all.
"When you can leave Los Angeles and appear in Charlotte, you can say these fake words..."
In this way, Li Ke left with disdain, and Julia Roberts didn't even get into the mouth.
...
The Christmas game ended in a mess outside the court, and after the game, Li Ke even had no intention of reviewing the game.
But after returning to Charlotte, he still discussed this game with Boss Joe and the Lakers this season.
"Kenny Smith believes that this game was a big score loss caused by Kobe's opening? That's nonsense. Kobe is not getting involved, and the Lakers lose even worse."
Li Ke's judgment is completely opposite to Kenny Smith. He believes that if Kobe is not on the table, the situation for the Lakers will be worse.
The reason is very simple. No matter whether Kobe is at the forefront or not, the Lakers' right to take action will be concentrated in Kobe's hands.
In the final analysis, the Lakers have done too poorly in signing work in recent seasons. Although they have won the championship in three finals and two, they have no powerful role players.
Even the main control position is difficult to achieve qualified reinforcement.
The Great Sage can always get the Lakers' contract.
Li Ke was able to defeat or even beat Kobe, who was no longer at the peak, and Curry could beat the point guard composed by Steve Blake, Fisher and others.
In the inside line, Jiasao also moved slowly under the Bobcats' fast whirlwind style. In addition to being able to score by himself, she was still infinitely weakened by the bonus and help to the system.
With An Zhu not here, the strength of the Lakers Three Towers is no longer there.
In Li Ke's view, this victory was taken for granted.
From this whole season,
"The Lakers' bench is too bad. The only qualified substitutes are Shannon Brown and Matt Barnes, as well as the remaining tower outside the three towers. In addition, the style of the triangle offense has lagged behind the times. If the season goes deeper, the fact that the Lakers have become second-rate will be exposed."
Lao Qiao has already recognized Li Ke's judgment, and Kobe no longer has the possibility of three consecutive championships.
"If the Lakers win three consecutive championships, Kobe will be the closest to me, a pity..."
Old Qiao shook his head, looking very sorry, but Li Ke felt that this guy looked more like he was in Versailles?
...
In three Christmas battles, the Bobcats defeated the Lakers, the Cavaliers defeated the Knicks, and the Thunder defeated the Celtics.
The Cavaliers have nothing to say about the Knicks. Although the Knicks rose this season, the intensity of the Knicks who only have Xiao Si is still too low.
The remaining two games can be said to be the victory of the Youth Army.
There are currently three youth troops in the league. The first one to rise is the Trail Blazers, but due to injuries, the Trail Blazers have already shown signs of falling.
However, the later Bobcats and Thunder have a tendency to sweep the entire league in the future.
With the final two games at the end of December, the Bobcats ended the 2010 battle with a 13-game winning streak.
The overall record of 25 wins and 6 losses is already ranked first in the league.
On January 1, the Bobcat met the Celtics.
The Celtics, who have returned to the embrace of defense, have won 23 wins and 10 losses so far this season and have recovered significantly.
But the three giants are old, and the newly joined Lao Shark and Tianzun are also elderly athletes. The Celtics composed of veterans have no previous upper limit.
Look at the Bobcats led by Rivers, and the Bulls led by Tom Siberdu are following closely behind.
Danny Angie's old face is completely unstoppable.
But he still stood up tenaciously, as if waiting for a chance to turn the tables.
In this game, Li Ke was still not ruthless in the home court against his old opponent.
Leading 12 points in the first half, 17 points in three quarters, playing three or four minutes in the fourth quarter, quickly scored a 20-point lead.
Li Ke withdrew from the game with a 28-point, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.
Then there was a series of consecutive victories, from the Timberwolves, the Heat, to the Hawks, the Knicks and the Jazz. Before they knew it, the Bobcats won 19 consecutive victories after Li Ke's comeback.
It's only one win away from 20 consecutive victories.
"Sheldon has been back since his return, and the Bobcats have maintained a complete victory!"
"Where is his limit with 100% winning rate?"
"31 wins and 6 losses, will the Bobcats have a chance to break the Bulls' 72 win record?"
"19 consecutive victories, the hot Bobcats are about to step on the threshold of 20 consecutive victories!"
“…”
For a time, the Bobcats became the focus of the entire league.
For the 2010-11 season, which has almost half gone, public opinion slowly overturned the pre-season predictions and judgments.
The championship is so popular that only the Bobcats, Bulls, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, Thunder and the Cavaliers after the mid-term trade.
That's right, the first six teams do not need to add any premise, but the Cavaliers must add a mid-term deal.
Chapter completed!
