Kobe was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Mubai coming forward and took the opportunity to suddenly pass!

Kobe has already suppressed Zhou Mubai head-on. With his experience, he can get rid of it by just pressing his opponent hard and then speeding up and breaking through.

But Kobe immediately felt the resistance. Zhou Mubai's confrontation was much bigger than he thought and his pace was faster. This was already seen when defending Zhou Mubai, but defense and offense were still different.

Kobe was not discouraged. He knew that Zhou Mubai was not easy to deal with.

Kobe dribbled with his left hand and turned to a right hand breakthrough. If he was an ordinary defender, this combo might have thrown them behind.

Zhou Mubai withstood the pressure and even pushed Kobe backwards out. Because Zhou Mubai did not use his hands and his body still kept making up for money, it did not form a foul.

Kobe tried to change direction again, but Zhou Mubai's steps were dense, strong in the fight, and very clean. Overall, he used his steps to defend his opponent.

Not only the fans, coaches, other players and commentators who watched were amazed, Kobe was shocked - few people can do such a defense!

Faced with top offensives like Kobe, to truly limit them, you must be able to match speed, footsteps, experience, physical confrontation, strength and other aspects in order to truly defend them. There are very few, or even none of them.

Kobe had no choice but to turn around and lean back and make a strong shot. Because he didn't get enough space, the ball was very difficult, especially when Zhou Mubai was able to jump and interfere.

The ball hit the iron.

This is just the beginning.

Kobe pressed to the low post in the next round and was preparing to play Zhou Mubai from the low post.

But how could Zhou Mubai allow Kobe to easily get a low-level single? When Kobe was about to catch the ball, he kept bypassing and seizing the position.

Anyone who has watched NBA games knows that seizing a position at a low position is a real battle for every inch of land. The referee will not easily call the penalty because it is very threatening to catch the ball at this position, so the referee also encourages the position to grab it.

But there are risks. Once the action is too large, you may be called for a defensive foul or an offensive foul.

Kobe's low singles may be the biggest threat to the league. No team will easily let Kobe catch the ball at this position, and so will Zhou Mubai.

Vujasic received the ball from the three-point line and wanted to pass it inside, but Kobe obviously couldn't suppress Zhou Mubai.

Kobe was in front, but the next moment Zhou Mubai pushed Kobe's hand away and grabbed the front with one step. Kobe counterattacked again, and Zhou Mubai went around in front again - after several rounds of competition, Kobe's position was close to the three-point line.

Vujasic was amazed in his heart. He knew how much power it would take to seize the position. Kobe was the one who could seize the position with Cameron Anthony and LeBron James. Both of them were tanks in the small forward position!

Zhou Mubai was able to force Kobe to this point!

This is not like something his size can do!

It was not only Vujasic who was stunned. Phil Jackson couldn't help but stand up from the chair, looking at Kobe and Zhou Mubai with a look of surprise.

"WTF! Incredible! How could Zhou Mubai have such a great power? That's Kobe! That's Kobe who can play as a small forward. Zhou Mubai is so small. How can he fight with Kobe like this? How great is his power?!"

Van Gundy was dumbfounded. This was simply unscientific!

Kobe received the ball in one step within the three-point line. The catch of the ball at this position is actually not effective. Kobe knew that he couldn't get in, so he could only choose to attack in the face frame.

Kobe threatened three times, but Zhou Mubai was unmoved. Kobe simply pulled up and shot. Zhou Mubai's reaction was quick, forcing Kobe to increase the arc. This kind of ball was very difficult, and he could only rely on the feel to score a goal, but it just happened that Kobe's feel had not been shot yet, so he still made a blacksmith.

So it looks like Zhou Mubai defended Kobe again.

"He really defended it!" Coach D'Antoni was a little surprised.

Zhou Mubai's defense is great, but Kobe can be said to be one of the most difficult defensive players in the league, and is the target of defensive experts who are willing to challenge but are always hit.

For the league coaches, to face the Lakers and to defeat the Lakers, they must limit Kobe, which is also a common problem.

However, defending one or two times cannot be called a successful defense. Kobe is an extremely confident person, and he is a little stubborn. He once said that.

——Compared to 0 of 9 shots, I would rather 0 of 30 shots.

——If you don’t make 9 shots, you won’t make a shot, which means you have been defeated by yourself.

——And I will continue to invest until I make it, and I will never lose confidence in myself at any time.

This is Kobe.

So this is just the beginning.

Sure enough, Kobe continued to play in the next leg, but he changed his approach and Kobe started running.

Kobe used Gasol's pick-and-roll on one side, and then slipped the bottom line to the low post on the other side.

So why is Kobe difficult to defend?

If Kobe still relies solely on his own to lower the post, Zhou Mubai has enough strength to withstand Kobe and even push it out. However, Kobe used a pick-and-roll to slip from the bottom line from one side, then he could seize the position near the basket and stuck Zhou Mubai. At this position, Zhou Mubai could not push him out, and he would not have time to push it out.

Kobe received the ball near the paint area, and it was difficult to defend here. Kobe jumped and shot directly when he received the ball. Zhou Mubai then rushed to jump because he was afraid of being fouled, so he did not dare to jump with all his strength.

Kobe hit the middle distance.

Kobe finally scored, but the difference was only three points.

The Knicks hit three three-pointers in these three rounds, all of which were Zhou Mubai's breakthrough and then fed the bottom corner three-pointer.

Jeffries and Garynalli have made a lot of shots these days and have made confidence. Now they are almost holding the three-pointer in the corner. They can be said to be called Garynalli's Italian gun point and Jeffries' point.

In the next round, Kobe avoided Zhou Mubai and used two pick-and-rolls to temporarily throw Zhou Mubai away. Then, before the backup defense arrived, he received the ball and made a long-distance mid-range shot.

Kobe is still scoring, but the difference is indented and is flattened after four rounds.

The reason is that Kobe's scoring efficiency has been reduced. Kobe can still score under Zhou Mubai's defense, but his efficiency has been significantly reduced.
