Chapter 512 Need Time_4

It seemed both sides were scoring, but the Lakers were more efficient, and by the end of the quarter, their lead had settled at 8 points.

The first half ended.

In the second half, Yu Fei took over once again, scoring and assisting to narrow the gap to 4 points.

But with their own shooters going cold, Durant being locked down, and an overall poor free throw percentage, their scoring efficiency was just too low.

Yu Fei's momentum from consecutive individual scoring runs in the first half didn't continue, and instead, the Lakers, fueled by Kobe's explosive state, spread to the shooters, allowing James's one-star, four-shoot system to fully come into play.

Kobe might have been the brightest star tonight, because offense is the most important part of a basketball game.

And Kobe scored the game-high 44 points tonight.

Following him was James with 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 12 assists.

It could be said that James's passing was like Kobe's engine.
