Kobe Bryant Full Highlights vs Nuggets 2009 WCF GM3 - 41 Pts, CLUTCH

at Lura Marian High School guard number 24 Kobe Bryan This series has been interesting because the team that jumps to the lead has lost it at the end of the first half Kobe Bryant Maul for Jones they will call it the act of shooting that is something of the That coaches and players talk all the time when you think the game was won or lost on the last possession, well, that's when you could have gone about your business and taken out the opponents when you allowed them to walk around you. I have to give Denver so much credit after losing the first game and it was a heartbreaking loss.

Anthony for three that won't go. Anthony, despite 34 points in the second game, was 0 for six from downtown, inside, a nice move by Kobe Bryant, the Lakers went back inside. a Dante Jones guarding Kobe Bryant in that position, you have to rely on the help behind you and those guys have to be there, that can't be a one-on-one play for Bryant. Los Angeles has to get the ball back to Bryant. publication Fischer gets into the first four games of the Conference Finals, two in the East, two in the West, all decided by three points or less, all decided at the final buzzer on the last shot of the game, since Be it a failure or a success like Kobe Bryant.

He racks it up right now, the Lakers are having a hard time doing that. Kobe Bryant knocks him down and now the Lakers have their third point guard in Shannon Brown R. Good fee, Brown slid under a catch with his back to the Phillips play. he hasn't scored yet it's just his first field goal attempt he has three dry assists at the basket disturbing play Carter on Bryan pushes once again easy two get away from the double team and they're gone from the triangle they're gone more about Kobe's isolations Bryant Kobe Bryant pick and rolls Kobe Bryant attack attack attack now has 12 points as the Lakers will come back to tie well this is just a smart pick and roll basketball transition Bryant doesn't give up he opens his way to the basket and on the previous play in transition great dribble move Inside Out good reverse first kills

nuggets

late to help Bryant on the attack and gets the Lakers back in the game no, you're better than that, believe me, it's sincere to call him Mr.

Beck Bryant knocks him down Kobe Bryant now with 14 the crowd on their feet as we finish the second quarter, open arza, that's a great shot for Marza and really Kobe Bryant, realizing the game was getting out of hand, put his foot in Speeding up and looking to make plays over and over again Being aggressive wasn't just about falling in love with his own offense He made plays for other guys but in transition he put pressure on the Denver Nuggets defense really took control and allowed this Lakers team to still had I hope he makes it to the second half Fer made his first shot, needs some kind of offense elsewhere, bham, quick move, good play by bham, turned, Bryant stepped up, got ahead of the man, missed everything.

I was going to say he came out of the hoop, but he floats. again and the Lakers just tied it, but half a minute into the third, this team is confident that they can win this series right now, up seven here in game three. Bryant opens wide Nails the three D's coming off his feet who were Excited to start Ryan toward the basket. Pushed from behind. Ryan didn't like it. That's a flagrant foul. Yeah, I mean, I was way ahead of him on the road and almost up. Look, we've seen so many flagrant fouls called poorly.

To me, when a guy reaches out and pushes with both hands, that's excessive and unnecessary, at least unnecessary. I think you're right, Jeff, but you know what happens if they fall over it and they can dispute this all they want? handle the referees if Kobe Bryant sells that by falling, that's a flagrant foul, a lot depends on whether a guy lands on his feet or not, it shouldn't be like that, but that's what it's called. I like Bryant's response, he was not happy, he quickly turned away. but instead of getting involved in something and remembering that he has five checks in the playoffs, so he can't start drawing and taking the double technique, he just walked to the free throw line, so Anthony is going to come out, he's shaking the play. holding his eye and his hand inside Kobby Bryant and a foul Bryan goes through the back door and now with a free throw he has a chance to tie the game and you talk about Luke Walton not only on one end but on the other Kobe Bryant moves without the basketball Luke Walton giving the pass at the point Bryan doing the rest Dante Jones angry because there has to be help to allow Brian to get to the cup good job executing and deep reading Dante Jones gets his fourth so now three starters with Denver they have four and Kobe Bryant a chance to tie the game the biggest lead of the game is eight which was in the first half for Denver, they have led by seven here in the third Lakers briefly had a two point lead in the first quarter another close game Here in the Western Conference Finals, Denver, by the way, one of 14 from downtown when Martin fouls Kobe Bryant and Bryant will go to the line.

It has been a wonderful season for him. Now remember in the second game he had that fantastic play when he threw Kobe Bryant's ball well, it's not the first time he's done it George Washington High School State Championship Game What if this works perfectly? So he's done it before, yes, but I'm going to say there's a big difference, I don't know who. Number 33 was on the other team, but if he could pass to Kobe Bryant, he doesn't feel so bad. Now absolutely Smith hits a three on the Buzzard and then a technical foul on Smith for taunting after the play.

Emotions overflow. Here, in the third game, Ryan Arza, Trevor Arza puts it in and the Lakers take the initiative. Anthony plays with him, daring him to shoot. Kobe Bryant loves that Fallway. He puts it on a beautiful Kobe Bryant shot. The Lakers win by two, but they have had more. a complete game and they switch Kenyan Martin for Gasol after scoring the last two baskets Brian is c and a foul Kobe Bryan goes to the basket on a three point play opportunity to me you can't force great players to any aside, that was too much Much of an open stance by Carmello Anthony led to a hit and a three-point play opportunity.

You have to stay more square with the ball. Kobby Bryant 40 in the first game 32 in the second game and now with the opportunity to reach 34 here. Game 3 misses the free throw that Kobe Bryant is trying to beat right now, as George calls him the best closer in the game. Check out this post, move a Little Dream move to the baseline well defended by JR Smith, that's an impossible shot and then pass. Carmelo Anthony to the left of him finishing the concentration with his right and George Carl is to the right, the best closer of the game with LeBron entering quickly.

J.R Smith in the pullup puts him in pips again up by two, you get the feeling that J.R Smith feels that Derek Fischer can't defend him one on one, the crowd is on its feet Channing Smith's defense now tries to defend the shot clock of Kobe Bryant at six Bryant by three scores Kobe Bryant from the center and the Lakers regain the lead look at the determination on his face Bryant now with 36 Phillips to take Phips to the basket finds Martin Martin throws the ball up and no Gasol goes for the rebound with one minute left and Phil Jackson calls a timeout Kobe Bryant once again an incredible performance OMG Mom, there goes that man, this is how you tell 20,000 people to sit down and shut up kobby Bryant over and over again lifts locks and burdens he always says there's nothing better than The Sound of Silence hitting a big shot on the road Thea to Bryan Smith is approached by Brian on the road and Smith hits him Smith pleading with Danny Crawford but there's nothing what to run from except a good job by Bryant we talk about using Smith's Force against him put the ball on the floor and make an aggressive play hard move no doubt grabs Bryant's left arm Brian goes to the line I mean from what do you complain about them?

Seeing Kobe Bryant's free throw knocks that one down, they led by as many as eight here in the fourth quarter, bad pass stolen by arza and they catch it. for Anthony and it is not going to be a clear path because it happened in the front court Phillips a couple of two-point games ago there is still a lot of time Bryant has it Bryant wants to be fouled and commits the foul he does not want to give the ball up, he wants to be the one to go to the line and pips, the Str stry was to double team Kobe Bryant Kenyan Martin doubled with Dante Jones, just Bryant using his strength and athleticism to create an opening and get the basketball grip there same. goes back to three Bryant two decisive free throws gain four points he has 39 and what you don't want is for Phips to get into rhythm three you have to be in position to help three long the air ball goes out of bounds Jones had a chance to touch it I think he thought it was deflected, instead it's a Laker ball, they have to foul right away.

Jones throws at Kobe and fouls him as he shoots it and the Lakers will seal this game if they make their free throws right now and Bryant. he will go to the line again and the air has left this crowd. Five point game. The Lakers Trail most of the game had a brief lead in the first quarter, losing by up to eight here, in the fourth, little by little they were losing and Kobe Bryant his second 40. Point game of this series Third of the playoffs Win of six points 12.4 pips remaining I need to knock down three quick ones Smith throws it not going Cassol tips the ball was released still loose Dante Jones returns to Cazer there are 3 seconds left shooting game in and out and the bell rings and the Lakers regain the advantage of playing in home to take the third game and a two-to-one lead in this series, Kobe, how do you, as tired as you are, find a way to deliver every time your team needs you?

He just has to try to hold on and get through it, you know, that whole Wind Spring that you run in the summer, you were just in the same moment where you were just able to get through it and I just have to do it Trevor arza left this game due to a groin injury that was aggravated in hip talk about his play down the stretch evaluate what he was able to do for you good, he played extremely well, you know he had his shots in the corner and he knocked it down, he's been shooting the ball exceptionally well for all of us in the playoffs and you know which today was no different, this was not a flawless game, your team missed a lot of free throws, but you had the opportunity on Monday night to really put pressure on Denver.

How do you do that? You just have to go out there and execute and, you know, play a little bit better, hope
