105: Dominance

Two consecutive dunks opened Rachel's dominance night. Before the halftime break, Rachel did not rest for even a minute. The Lakers' already weak inside line was blown up by Rachel on the defensive end.

At the end of the half, the rebounds of the two teams were 27:18, of which the seven and six people had five offensive rebounds, while the Lakers had zero offensive rebounds. Although Rachel only scored seven rebounds, they were all taken from the opponent's heads, with offensive rebounds accounting for four. This shows the dominance of the rebounds.

Rachel's halftime statistics were eight points, seven rebounds and three blocks. The Sixers also led by a big score of 55:37.

During the half-time break, two balls were repeatedly placed in the live broadcast of the TV station. They called these two balls the best match against the half-time. It can also be said to be an answerball. However, the two people who contributed these two beautiful goals were Doug Rachel and Kobe Bryant.

——

With three minutes left in the second quarter, Atkins dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe. After receiving the ball, Kobe shook for two consecutive days, he used one of Odom's pick-and-rolls to plunge into the inside. After the pick-and-roll, he immediately formed a misaligned defense, and the person defending Kobe became Rachel. (Odom played as a power forward, and Rachel moved to the power forward position.)

Rachel was close to Kobe, just like when they fought one-on-one with the Lakers. Since the two of them fought one-on-one, they had a very good understanding of each other's technical characteristics.

After Kobe leaned against Rachel and rushed into the paint area, he suddenly stopped suddenly. Rachel did not sway because they were too familiar with each other.

Kobe did not stop, but suddenly turned right ninety degrees, and Rachel quickly moved the center of gravity. At the moment of moving, Kobe suddenly turned left and 180 degrees, and immediately flashed Rachel to the side. It was too late to turn around.

Kobe shot the ball heavily and then quickly squeezed past Rachel.

Bang! It is the sound of the collision between the basketball and the rebound.

Bang! It is the sound of pulling hands and baskets against each other.

Wow! The audience cheered.

Through the passionate commentator of the Lakers commentator on the spot, Rachel knew that she was being fooled and was being fooled very well because Kobe completed a self-dumping and self-defeating under his own defense.

"You will never win a chance in front of me!" Kobe said this softly to Rachel when he passed by.

Rachel did not refute, but looked at the seats on Jones, and he still couldn't find Eddie. Although he was a little glad that Eddie did not see his bad performance, he was more worried about Eddie.

Rachel turned around, shook her head, shook her mind, and threw away the idea that shouldn't have appeared on the court, and then quickly ran towards the frontcourt.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Rachel did not get into the inside, but stopped at the outside. Odom took a step to follow Rachel. He didn't want to defend Rachel closely. As a former teammate, he knew how dirty Rachel's small movements were.

After Iverson brought the ball over, Rachel immediately ran over to make a pick-and-roll for Iverson. After blocking it, Iverson quickly ran to the basket, and Odom was the one who replaced the defense.

Rachel also moved quickly to the other side with a sympathy, and his defensive target was Atkins.

Iverson dribbled the ball into the free throw line and attracted Kobe and Odom's double-team, and then hung the ball to Rachel. After Rachel received the ball, she suddenly turned around and passed the short Atkins completely.

The Lakers' home fans also exclaimed, and this kid would turn around, right?

After Rachel broke through Atkins, it was already a smooth road ahead because Chris Meim was blocked by Delham Porter.

At this time, Kobe rushed over from the wing, trying to block Rachel's pace. But he didn't know that Rachel didn't dodge at all. He rushed towards Kobe straight. When he was one meter away from Kobe, he suddenly shook his wrist and threw the ball on the rebound, then used his full power. After a big step, he jumped high. Kobe hurriedly avoided. As someone who witnessed Rachel pulling the basket rack, he knew very clearly that the consequences of blocking Rachel's hard attack, so he avoided it.

Bang! Rachel caught the rebounding ball and smashed it into the basket.

Perfect one self-dumping.

Unfortunately, there was no even a little applause to praise the ball, and there were endless boos and curses.

As a player who has been misunderstood, Rachel has become accustomed to booing and cursing, so he still acts on his own and provokes the fans.

"If you think booing can reduce your timidity, please continue!"

The referee did not yell because Stern knew that this would be beneficial to the NBA league's momentum, and the NBA needed to create enemies to attract attention, while Rachel and the Lakers were included in Stern's momentum list.

"This ball is used as a gift I give you!" Rachel smiled at Kobe.

"It's just a bad luck!" Kobe muttered, turned around and ran back to attack.

After the second quarter, *'s sideline reporter Sheryl Miller interviewed Rachel.

"Doug, first of all, wish you a perfect night."

"Thanks!"

"Tonight, you dominated the inside, and your goal was quite cool. What did you say to Kobe after the goal?"

"Uh, I told him that he couldn't beat me. You know, he also contributed a very wonderful ball before my ball, but I'm more exciting than his one, right?" Rachel looked in a good mood.

"Now I have already led the score. May I ask, in the second half, how will you continue to expand the gap and win?"

"Defense, I will use defense to shut up all the guys who booed me, because I don't like the guys who shouted." Rachel was as domineering as ever.

"Okay, thank you for accepting my interview, thank you!"

"Thanks!"

After the brief interview, Rachel ran back to the locker room. Before returning to the locker room, she glanced at the seats on Jones again. Unfortunately, he still didn't notice Eddie.

During the player passage, Rachel found that O'Brien, Bobby, and Iverson were communicating with several police officers. For some reason, Rachel became nervous.

At this time, Bobby shouted to Rachel with a sad look on his face, "Doug, come here. Something is a little bit!"
