"Don't give Kobe so many opportunities anymore. Realistically speaking, if you give an athlete of his caliber too many opportunities, it's very likely that those opportunities will allow him to develop a good shooting touch."
Seeing this situation, Su Hao urged everyone to put some pressure on the outside, as he was very confident having such a behemoth in the paint.
"We can see that Kobe is now facing defense from George. As a young player who is very good at one-on-one defense, he was influenced by the team as soon as he joined. Now he is using his body to hold off Kobe."
At this moment, Butler was still as brave and skillful as before. As a small forward, he used his body to block Kobe, leaving him with no choice but to pass the ball.
"My God, can you imagine? Kobe actually passed that ball out. It's unheard of."
After receiving the ball, Fisher could only force a three-pointer but missed. After grabbing the rebound, Su Hao immediately passed the ball to the frontcourt.
"Good shot, another fast break."
With less than two minutes remaining in the first quarter, the Clippers were already leading the Lakers by ten points.
"They're still choosing not to pause; it seems this team is really tough."
As head coach, Rivers is actually fighting against Phil Jackson at this time. The two are engaged in a wide-ranging psychological battle. If they don't do this, they will be half-depleted just by seeing each other.
The Lakers capitalized on their advantage by passing the ball to their twin towers inside lineup, and Odom solved the problem with his mid-range shot.
"In the end, it all comes down to whoever is closer to the basket gets more opportunities."
Su Hao finally felt some pressure, which might be a very good option for him.
"We might not have believed it before, but now we can finally believe it."
The Lakers' 4-0 run all came from inside the paint.
"I knew they could fight back."
Surprisingly, facing Gasol's very tough defense, he used his own strength to completely overwhelm the opposing center, just like a monster from a video game.
"He's furious. At this point, Su Hao can't take it anymore. You can see he's putting in a lot of effort."
By doing this, Su Hao was essentially telling them to stop acting arrogantly in front of him.
"Ha, after that play, Odom actually turned his back to the camera. Was he already feeling intimidated?"
Yang Yi could understand that being slammed into someone by a dunk was definitely not a pleasant feeling.
The first quarter has ended. The Lakers failed to capitalize on their advantage in the final two minutes and are currently trailing by nine points, a significant difference for the first quarter.
"The Clippers' advantage in the paint was fully demonstrated in the first quarter, forcing the Lakers to strengthen their interior defense, which is not a good thing for them."
"Can I still fight?"
The coach came to Kobe's side and said something that was a little heartbreaking.
"No problem, don't worry, I'll be fine."
This statement may be true for him. No matter the reason, health is the most important thing, especially now that he is in his prime.
