The most underrated game in Kobe s career was the most brutal battle in his career!

June 18, 2010, Staples Center. At the end of the game seven of the finals, Kobe Bryant sat down next to the technical stand, sweating profusely, holding his knee tightly with his right hand - making 6 of 24 shots, with a 25% shooting percentage. This data sheet is a disaster in the basketball logic of "efficiency first". However, on the scoreboard, the score of 83:79 declared the Lakers' victory. When fans cheered for Gasol's deadly tip-off, few people noticed that Kobe completed a more brutal willful strangle than 81 points with 15 rebounds, 4 steals and 10 points in the final quarter.

Recalling the 81-minute night (2006), Kobe used 46 shots to exchange for 81 points, the Raptors' defense was as muddy as paper, and the Staples Arena was completely trapped in the ocean of carnival. Do you think this is the best battle in Kobe Bryant's career? No! In the 2010 G7, the Celtics' "No. 1 Defense in History" forced Kobe into a desperate situation - Pierce and Ray Allen's wheel battle was exhausted, Garnett assisted in defense and blocking at any time, and there were traps of muscle collisions in the three-point line. Kobe scored 10 points in the fourth quarter of the Lakers team, including two free throws to secure the victory in the first 25 seconds of the final game. When the reporter questioned his inefficiency, he pointed to the rebound data and sneered: "Do they thought they killed me? No, I just started breathing."

If you only look at the data, no one can imagine that Kobe's body is on the verge of collapse in this game: a fracture of his right index finger (a serious injury when he played against the Timberwolves in the regular season, and then a bandage fixed shot throughout the whole process), knee fluid and ankle sprain (the Western Conference Finals against the Suns G6 had a 90-degree twist in the ankle, and G2 had a knee hit in the finals), physical overdrawn (the first six games of the series averaged 43 minutes, the G7 had 45 minutes, and he still refused to leave the game in the last moment).

1 minute before the final game, Kobe was knocked down by Pierce during a breakthrough, and blood from his right knee oozed out of the floor. He grabbed his braces and spat, got up and scored the key goal. The broadcast footage captured Phil Jackson's whisper: "He's like a skinned bulldog, but his teeth are still there." Kobe was also invincible on the defensive end, with 15 rebounds + 4 steals. When the shooting feel was frozen, Kobe injected brutality into the defensive end, making 6 of 15 rebounds, including 3 minutes before the end of the game, grabbing the tip-in for victory from Perkins.

Years later, Rondo admitted in the documentary: "We thought we locked him until we found out that he grabbed more rebounds than Garnett. That night, he was not a scorer, but Rodman and Pippen in No. 24."

81 points are an art carnival, G7 is an epic of war. The former crushes mortals with his talent, and the latter kills the gods with his body as a mortal in desperate situations. Kobe in the 2010 G7 was like a curled knife, unable to cut into the basket, but cut open the championship heart of the three Celtics. When he held the trophy high at the award ceremony, the bandage on his right finger joint was stained with blood - this blood color was more dazzling than the 81-point number. Allen's sigh: "We defended his shot, but he smashed the shield with his bones."
