Kobe Bryant gave the victory in LA on Tuesday night against Toronto. A sixth game-winner of the season for him and the end of a series of three defeats for his team. Sufficient to clear the doubts and calm opponents suddenly become disrespectful?
Nine seconds to play Tuesday at the Staples Center. Toronto has an equalizer on a shot of winning Chris Bosh on the Lakers. Ball in LA Of course, Kobe Bryant goes up the ball. Of course, the Raptors have taken two out of him. Of course, he returned his shot at the end 1''9 (109-107 final score). The Angelinos put an end to a series of three defeats. Their worst performance since the arrival of Pau Gasol in February 2008. To find traces of four consecutive setbacks, we must go back to April 2007, just before the first elimination round of the play-offs against Phoenix (1-4). Imagine then that this new "game-winner, his sixth of the season (*), had to steal that which is called" Black Mamba ". "This is not how we wanted to win, Assen he still in the U.S. press. We have scored many points. That will not change. But we must not allow our adversaries to do so and we have not been good in this area.»
"One game to put in the trash":
Kobe Bryant, who had already raised his voice after the defeat in Charlotte, has even gone further to micro d 'ESPN. «I throw the "m ..." game in the trash. Our defense was much better in Orlando. A performance like Sunday night makes us difficult to beat four times in a series Play-offs. This "thing" tonight (Tuesday) is to throw the garbage. The Lakers' defense was indeed suspicious face the Raptors. At least in the first half with 58 points received eight to catch up. All with a team of LA and strangely relaxed before a public amorphous. Kobe Bryant, who has tried to involve especially Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol in the game in the first period, took things in hand in the second half with the result that we know. But defense is not the only éceuil these Lakers. Cirulis The ball is too slow in the eyes of Phil Jackson. "Everyone is a little responsible"Says the coach to the ten rings champion.
Opponents (too) confident:
As a result, opponents of LA feel sprout wings now. Like a special Matt Barnes rebounded against Kobe Bryant on Sunday. His case is also not gone unnoticed in the ranks of California and no doubt he will be given special treatment if the Magic had to cross the road at the next Lakers Finals ... Meanwhile, the Orlando winger is not only disrespectful to the outgoing champions. The Raptors have also "trash talk" more often than Tuesday at Staples Center. "Our situation gives the impression to some that they have the right to do"Regrets Lamar Odom in the L.A Times. We face teams that are far too confident against us. They are even at the Staples Center.» «This is because our opponents see or feelSays Derek Fisher. Our opponents torso bulge a bit more than usual because they truly believe they can win. He stayed for a month before the end of the regular season. We bet that by then the Lakers have found the solution ...
*: Kobe Bryant has scored seventh in Dallas January 13, but he was playing 28''9 .
