Kobe vs Iverson & Melo 2008 1st Round GM1 Full Highlights - 92 Points Combined

so the Nuggets are ready to go, but it wasn't easy to get to the stable center with more information about that, let's go with Michelle tooya hey Michelle hey Mike you're right, they got a big scare this morning the bus carrying Marcus changed Eduardo nahara J.R Smith and others caught fire on the freeway on the way to Staples Center. Now first they noticed the smoke that stopped the bus and then there was a small but strong explosion that made the players run out of the bus, dodging the cars and seeking safety on the side of the highway no one was Hur and a second finally picked up the team members Stranded a humorous note Phil Jackson saw the scene on his way here told me he slowed down saw everyone was safe and sped away again so I guess all is fair in love and Mike basketball playoffs, well it's always hard to get to Stap City, there's usually traffic, but like you said, luckily no one was hurt.

Mark, when you were playing the Pacers in the finals, you ran into some crazy traffic during the finals game that year, I think you guys. You got here about 45 minutes before the game. They love it, they love their Lakers here and they do some things to make sure they're in good shape because if you look at the talent on this basketball team, they should be a lot better.

directly to his defensive intent, Carelo Anthony had a fabulous offensive season, knocks him down of course they'll say now it's the playoffs we'll focus on defense but it doesn't really work that way of course he was always a favorite from fans when it started. his career and won three rings, but he has played very well Marcus Cambi, who likes that shot and is very effective.

Lakers here at home 30 and 11 when Kobe Bryant enters. Kenan Martin is defending him right now. He is as good a defender as Martin as Denver is. throws him in, it's a very difficult matchup for Martin, well that asks him to do too much, no matter how good a defender he is, there is no way in the world he can stay in front of Kobe Bryant, not only that the commitment to the chase stops on the other side allows Bryan to get to the rim unopposed, there is change that led the NBA in shooting for the third year in a row and the auto Anthony smooth jump shot and Denver into a hole, the Lakers, like you said , they could block very well.

Bryant and then Cami takes him down the other end Walton stays up in carelo Anthony Kobe Bryan is already picking up his first now that they trade Fisher in Iverson Falling Away puts him in B Jackson called him out, said he's a remarkable athlete and said that no one He has never been like him since he can remember playing in this league. Caro led the team to a record of 50 and 32 while Anthony notches another of the 50th most wins ever by a number eight seed and is the third-best record in team history to stay. with good feet inside and CI finishes among the league leaders in assists and scoring, he is an underrated passer, he is a playmaker that time, he puts pressure on the defense and finds CI one of the jump shots.

CI CHPS, he lost it and just did something. Good things since he came off the bench, Brian, good pass, nice pass and P Theol with eight

points

in the opening G, we say he is committed to that. Jordan Farmer is a shooter who comes from PCH, an impact player, he has had three open looks, the shots from him. Iverson. the long rebound puts him back on top and he has six points Brian misses Anthony good pass to CER blocked from behind by Bryant Iverson with a good push on the fin Ryan kicks him away another three CI the rebound Denver with plenty of time Good exit pass , beautiful change transmission, now the Nuggets to four flers, it has a limited range and now it is the triple and the Denver Nuggets with their first lead, you are seeing a group of guys who come off the bench and seem to have an impact on the play on both ends of the floor CLA is trying to take over the offenses and gets the rebound and when CA does it again they are able to blow up Kobe Bryant.

He saw several defenders that time has some space. Keny Martin was on top of him at all times. step away J Smith gives him all that space and knocks him down well the difference Kenyan Martin gave him a jumper from the top of the three that time a pace jumper inside the three point AR is an easier shot for Bran , now it's two of 10 carelo Anthony forces a Top Shot there was contact on W he just kept his hands up you know you feel Jackson during that timeout you have to challenge your guys defensively Iverson steps back and nails the three 13 for Iverson P the best pound player in NBA history, I see you remix my center pound for pound, gu height is 6' 160 lb, he is in discussion when you say pound for pound, check R manovic also has three Anthony, a nice little fake, sometimes makes it look so easy to score. in so many different ways, oh what do you mean good job, he takes it off his face and puts his hand on his back and that's a good job, a little fairer, your sportsmanship, cambi pushes it away, good defense, here's Clayer running down the field, good catch and the Finish is Cazer really showing his skill and he has a dozen, but that time Denver extends the defense Carell anley picking up over midfield Mark Denial on the wings It's contagious and it's an aggressive approach, Briyan's foul counted and a Kobe Bryan says no way, no way.

Although Martin has done a fabulous job with him, even that time he did it right, Kobe just made a difficult shot, looks at the crowd and says, don't worry, I got it. You're a Laker fan. You trust when this guy says it. that moment puts the ball on the ground gets contact from Martin knocks down the basket going to the line three fouls on Danon Martin makes noise one of them are back by 12 even impressed I hate laughing I hate laughing at my own jokes that's a bad sign is the jump shot the Lakers back by 12 he has 10 points here in the third he is very talkative right now and you see Brian and Martin talking a lot but that's how smart he is he catches the ball inside the triple op so , puts more pressure on Kenyan Martin and knocks down a small jumper.

Now Martin has to close the airspace and not allow Bryant to lift Joey Crawford, he alone warns several players. Let's be quiet, there are some squeaks and miss now. the biggest lead of the game Iverson quickly gets back to 12 out to see now 28-1 including eight gr from the line Iverson here this is what he told him, tell V to take it, you don't need it, you don't need it. that stress from guard Allen Iverson Iverson may have gotten away with a trip The Lakers bench certainly thought good food for CER good CER really having a strong game 14 points From the bench once again Alan Iverson's ability to be a playmaker is not about his Scoring, he puts so much pressure on your defense when he has the ball in his hands, that moment the player with the open ball Dun Iverson plays it for three misses, that good one, he came to play this afternoon and plays the rebound, so 21 points for Caz. but his team was down 17 a little over a minute later, in the fourth, he goes right for the hole, another strong move and that should have been a contest and a foul by Car

Anthony on the other end, just like he did JR Smith.

Top Shot Iverson. on the foot 7 K Gasol how good is Allen ion I mean what can you do against this guy defensively who is friend gaso all feet long of him Allen Ivon fades going to the left hand is nothing more than the collar G got that Anthony blocked that three in two Smith BS comes in and a foul and it's an 11-point game that they've been slowly chipping away at. I love that super super slow moment. Kobby Bryant hits the three. Ryan from downtown, his first triple from him and he comes back on the 13th, which is a big bucket. a big scorer is not effective he doesn't think I'm Ice Cole I've been fighting all game no, it's the next possession and it's the next big shot JR Smith ion small fancy hits the shot ion has 23 runs in Justin BS, it's so hard for Car

Anthony who has 24 pips, he stays within striking distance as the clock ticks down here in the quarter Iverson puts him at 25 iers, that's a bad defense that allows Allen Iverson to get out of the pick and roll alone to get all the The road to the cup, help has to come and you have to compete, he opened wide, but JR Smith gave him all the space, the cor on the screen, but that's too easy, well, It's difficult because when Kenyan Martin is on Bryant, then some smaller player has to play.

Gasal, so now Martin plays with Gasol and JR Smith is with Bryant, he comes back right away, but for the Nuggets exchanging baskets it doesn't work. Iverson tries to make contact, he does it and he does it, he does it as well as anyone in the NBA and he does it. it's a 10 point game with a free throw coming what smart play takes it to bigar manovich's body eliminates the ability to block the shot takes the hit gets the basket incredible strength and a great score and that's a half assed effort by rodovich you got to running back and you make a legitimate effort to get in front and take the charge or go up and block a shot rby Bryant defense walking Anthony comes in and gets the roll 26 points 11 rebounds for Calo Anthony Kobe Bryant yelling Brad manovic, get out of the way , I have Anthony Carter on a pass and a Slam.

He detects the mismatch and takes advantage of the 31st assist of the game for the Lakers. Anthony takes him down, it's Kobe Bryant who's going to get a big ovation here, but in walks Bill. Jackson gives him the opportunity to receive the Ovation in the entrance Carmelo Anthony slams the Lakers' next impressive performance as they take game one Kobe Bryant the Lakers take game one cor's with Michelle very good, thanks Mike, boy, They did a really good job defending You at the beginning of this game, Kobe, but in the fourth quarter you just blew up 18 points, what was the difference in the quarter that allowed you to come out?

I started hitting the jump shot, you know, in the first half, they were giving me a half. -The distance shot was a little off and, uh, but those are, you know, they're money shots and I should shoot them down. How did it feel here when you guys were in the Flo and Pal Gasol really owned the paint and the ball movement was really good, I mean he does a great job inside the paint moving without the basketball and when he catches it in the post he can finish with both hands and, you know, it's very difficult for teams to figure out how they want to play against us, you know, our two big men are excellent passers, we have excellent passers and shooters on the perimeter and, he, he makes a Phenomenal job there, what kind of tone did you guys set for the rest of this? series, well, you know, I think we learned some things that we can do execution-wise, you know, defensively we still have to come back a little bit better in our Retiro defense and take care of the basketball and, you know, the second game.

I'm sure they will make adjustments and we will too. Congratulations Kobe, thank you.
