Kobe couldn't tolerate such a defensive attitude, but Jumaine Jones's spirit had already been crushed; not everyone can come out of repeated failures.
His defensive enthusiasm had already suffered a devastating blow in the first three quarters.
Seeing Kobe yelling at his teammates, Roger immediately added fuel to the fire: "Why are you asking teammates to do things even you can't do? Is this how you lead the team?"
"Shut up, this is none of your business!"
In the next possession, Kobe missed under the pressure from Jason Richardson.
Even in the fourth quarter, the Lakers still faced such terrifying pressure defense, and it was impossible for Kobe's efficiency not to be affected.
What frustrated the Lakers even more was that Kobe began to personally guard Roger on the defensive end!
Roger's trash talk had greatly stimulated Kobe, who wanted to lead by example and show his teammates how to defend Roger.
