NBA: The Hulk's talent has female celebrities going wild.

440 images of coaching praise for Kobe!

"Has Su Hao finally woken up? Why isn't he 'slacking off' anymore? If he really plays like this, the Lakers really have no chance of winning the game!" Yang Yi said with a smile to the guest judges in the live broadcast room.

His eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity, seemingly surprised and excited by Su Hao's performance.

"The Clippers were the favorites in this game from the start. They were just coasting through the first quarter. Now that Su Hao is taking it seriously, they really don't have many chances left!" Yang Yi continued, his tone tinged with regret.

He believes the Lakers had a chance to win the game, but the Clippers' strength and their excellent performance in the first quarter made the Lakers face a huge challenge.

Su continued, "If the Lakers lose, they can only blame their teammates. They're not passing the ball to Kobe anymore. No wonder they're losing! They've even taken the lead, all because their teammates aren't passing the ball to Kobe!" His words revealed his dissatisfaction with the other Lakers players, believing they should be giving the ball to Kobe Bryant, the superstar, more often.

Coach Zhang said with a hint of anger, "Kobe is the core of the team. If the team can't provide him with enough support, then it will be difficult for them to win the game. The Lakers need to reflect on their tactical arrangements and make adjustments as soon as possible. Otherwise, they may lose this crucial game."

His tone carried a hint of disappointment and worry, hoping the Lakers could find a solution to the problem in time.

With the second quarter drawing to a close, the atmosphere on the court became increasingly tense.

The Lakers launched another fierce attack, and this time, Fisher passed the ball to Kobe without hesitation.

Clearly, this was likely the Lakers' last offensive opportunity in this quarter.

The moment Kobe received the ball, Rasoul Butler immediately closed in, trying to give Kobe no easy space to shoot.

However, Kobe was, after all, a legendary player known as the "Black Mamba," and he showed no sign of backing down in the face of such tight defense.

Kobe continued to dribble between his legs, his movements skillful and full of confidence.

When Gasol saw this, he wanted to step forward and set a screen for Kobe, but Kobe decisively refused.

From his eyes, it was clear that Kobe had decided to take on the responsibility of this attack alone and execute the one-on-one tactic.

After a series of crossovers and between-the-legs dribbles, Kobe successfully broke through the defense and forced his way to the vicinity of the free-throw line.

At this point, he probably wouldn't dare to approach the basket rashly again.

Because under the basket, Su Hao was waiting in ambush, anticipating his arrival.

If Kobe really intends to attack the basket, Rasoul Butler's defense alone will likely be insufficient to stop him.

The situation is different with Su Hao in the paint. If Kobe really drives into the paint, he is very likely to be ruthlessly blocked by Su Hao.

As an experienced and incredibly courageous player, Kobe didn't want to go head-to-head with Su Hao.

Even though he really wanted to teach Su Hao a lesson, he knew it was a very unwise choice.

Su Hao's defensive ability is unmatched by ordinary players.

For Kobe now, continuing to attack from the outside is the best option.

Kobe faked a shot, pretending to jump and shoot, which caused Rasul Butler to leap high into the air.

But Kobe was just faking it; he quickly pulled back and finished the attack with a low layup.

Goal! The Lakers players on the bench jumped up to celebrate.

Rasul Butler shook his head helplessly after landing; he knew he had been tricked.

However, the game was not over yet, and he secretly resolved that he must defend against Kobe next time.

In the last possession, Kobe only had the confidence to throw the ball out when Su Hao was relatively far away from him.

Otherwise, he would definitely have opted for a fadeaway jump shot!

After all, he had absolute confidence in his shooting skills, but the current situation was that Su Hao's defense made him somewhat wary, so he could only try to shoot from a greater distance.

"It still has to be Kobe. When the other Lakers players can't score, we still have to pass the ball to Kobe. Only he has a chance to score! If it weren't for Kobe, the Lakers would have been far behind by a large margin long ago!" Coach Zhang shouted excitedly, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

However, Yang Yi offered a different perspective: "Kobe is indeed amazing, we all know that, but the Clippers are still leading the score. Why didn't Su Hao actively step up to defend Kobe in that last possession? If he had been there to defend him, I don't think Kobe would have dared to shoot so casually!"

He believes Su Hao should be more aggressive in defending Kobe to better limit his scoring.

Hearing this, Su Qun couldn't help but laugh: "Su Hao can't possibly defend every position the whole game! Even if he's incredibly talented, he's still just one person. Do you really expect him to be used like the 'Hulk'? If that were the case, how weak would the Clippers be, having Su Hao have to face all five positions on the court by himself!"

He felt that Yang Yi's request was a bit excessive, after all, basketball is a team sport and everyone has their own responsibilities and roles.

Although Su Hao is a strong defender, he can't be good at everything, especially since the Lakers have other players they need to defend.

People should understand and respect Su Hao's efforts and contributions, instead of simply criticizing him.

With Kobe's basket, the point difference between the two sides remained in single digits.

However, there were only two seconds left in the second quarter.

Theoretically, the Clippers still have one last chance to attack.

In those brief two seconds of offensive possession, the Lakers clearly felt immense pressure.

They knew that the last two seconds were enough for the Clippers to launch a successful attack.

The Clippers' head coach did not call a timeout with only two seconds left on the shot clock, but instead left the decision to the players on the court.

At this moment, Su Hao signaled to Gordon that he would serve the inbound ball.

Because no matter which Clippers player inbounds the ball, it will eventually end up in Su Hao's hands.

The Lakers players were well aware of this and prepared accordingly well in advance.

Gasol and Bynum sandwiched Su Hao tightly on either side, trying to force the Clippers to pass the ball to other players.

But Gordon did not pass the ball to his teammates as the Lakers had hoped, even though David Lee was already unguarded.

Gordon persisted in throwing the ball towards the basket.

Gordon forcefully threw the basketball toward the basket.
