• Description : A mix I made about Kobe Bryant's hi...(more)ghlights against the Houston Rockets, Laker's second round opponent. It includes his dunks, shots, crossovers, and many more! Game 1 of the Series: Kobe Bryant had 32 points, 13-31 from the field, 8 Rebounds, 4 Assists, and 2 Steals. Bryant, who finished a distant second to LeBron James in NBA MVP voting announced earlier Monday, scored 32 points, doing his best to keep the Lakers in the game despite missing practice on Sunday with a sore throat. He scored 22 of the Lakers' final 42 points. "I'm fine,'' Bryant said. "My energy felt fine, I was OK. "We just blew some defensive assignments at key moments,'' Bryant added. "We played really bad, shot the ball horrendously from the 3-point line,'' Bryant said. "A lot of that was desperation at the end, but still, we missed a lot. We shot horribly from the free throw line.'' Game 2 of the Series: Kobe Bryant had 40 Points, 16-27 from the field, 6 Rebounds, 3 Assists, and 1 Steal. Kobe Bryant scored 40 points, Pau Gasol added 22 points and 14 rebounds and Los Angeles won Game 2 111-98 on Wednesday night to even the Western Conference semifinal series. "It was a good physical game. The intensity is elevated because a lot is at stake,'' Bryant said. "It's good for us.'' "It's the playoffs,'' Bryant said, "this is what it's about.'' "We are playing basketball, there is a lot of contact taking place,'' Bryant said. "If you are going to be physical you have to expect to get physical back.'' "Right from the opening tip we wanted to be aggressive, get after it a bit,'' Bryant said. "We are being tested and this is fun.'' Game 3 of the Series: Kobe Bryant had 33 Points, 11-28 from the field, 6 Rebounds, 3 Assists, and 2 Steals. Kobe Bryant took the inbounds pass, dribbled away from Ron Artest and swished a shot from 33 feet to end the third quarter. He struck a frozen pose after another signature moment, sending a clear message to the hostile crowd that he and the Los Angeles Lakers are in control of their Western Conference semifinal. Bryant scored 33 points in the Lakers' 108-94 victory in Game 3 on Friday night that gave them a 2-1 lead in the series. "I'm just doing what I do best,'' Bryant said, "just challenging other teams to try to do something with me. We, as a team, play off of that. It's on me to be aggressive.'' Bryant had a quiet third quarter until the final 3 seconds, when his deep 3 put the Lakers up 74-62 and silenced the capacity crowd that booed him every time he touched the ball. "It's good to go into the fourth quarter with momentum,'' said Bryant, who was 11 for 28 from the field. "It finished the quarter off the right way and then started the fourth quarter off the right way.'' Bryant hit a 3-pointer a minute later to pass Larry Bird and move into sixth place on the all-time postseason scoring list. Bryant went 5 for 6 from the field and had 11 points in the first quarter, then missed six of seven shots in the second. Game 4 of the Series: Kobe Bryant had 15 points, 7-17 from the field, 2 Rebounds, 5 Assists, and 4 Steals. Download Link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jsrd5d Please Comment and Rate. - xŅãvĵộţx.
