In the past two years, there was a saying: if a team has two guards who can play one-on-one, when playing against the Lakers, one of them is bound to explode.
The Bobcats proved this saying to be true, although it required sacrificing the other guard.
The one who exploded tonight was Felton, and of course, the one sacrificed was Zhang San...
In the first half, the Bobcats performed steadily, scoring 24 points in the first quarter and 23 in the second, with Felton getting 13 and 9 points respectively, playing quite ecstatically.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe only took 7 shots in the half, hitting 3 of them and adding 2 free throws for a total of 8 points. After getting cold-cocked by the opponent's mindless double-team in the "third-quarter 62", he started to actively use this to his advantage, first drawing the double-team with the ball, then passing to the Grim Reaper Parker, left-handed magician Odom, and the bankrupt Pippen Luke Walton.
