Jordan averaged 33+7+7 in the playoffs. How did Kobe perform? James can be called the king of tiebreak

has had too many superstars in NBA history, and the names that the NBA can never get around are Jordan, Kobe, and James. These three are the league appearances of different eras in the NBA, and their influence is also very large around the world. Because of this, the discussion about who is stronger has never stopped. Next, we are not going to be serious about this topic, but will take stock of the performance of these three players in the playoffs tiebreak. The value of tiebreak in the NBA can be said to be well known, so their performance on this stage can also show their strength to a certain extent!

1. Jordan

Average of 33.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the playoffs. Although he has received more praise for never being dragged into a tiebreak by his opponent in the finals, Jordan has experienced three tiebreak battles in his playoff career. The first time was in the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals, and the Bulls had lost to this team many times before, so they were even more behind in terms of momentum. However, this time the Bulls seemed to have learned from their previous experience and performed better, so that they could fight the Pistons back and forth.

The Bulls, who were at home in G6, dragged the series into tiebreak with a 109-91 victory. In this game, Jordan scored a game-high 29 points, and Pippen, who scored 19 points, and substitute Hodges also played a very critical role. In the tiebreak, the Bulls came to the Pistons' home court. In such an important game, the Bulls were completely lost in the opponent's iron barrel formation. The team only scored 43 points in total, and only Grant scored 10 points in doubles. In the end, Jordan also scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal.

Jordan's second tiebreak came from the 1992 Eastern Conference Semi-finals against the Knicks. The Bulls won 67 wins this season, while the Knicks only had 51 wins, so when they met in the second round, they never thought that the latter could cause such a big trouble to the Bulls. Although the Bulls were the first to win the match point in this round of the series, G6 lost 14 points to the Knicks, which made people worry about G7. Fortunately, the Bulls had Jordan. In the last game, he scored 42 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. The suspense was completely ended. With his outbreak, the Bulls also defeated their opponents with a 29-point advantage and entered the Eastern Conference Final.

After 1992, Jordan finally tasted the tiebreak until 1998. This year, the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs faced the Pacers who only won four games less than them in the regular season. This round of the series will undoubtedly be a tough battle. The development of the series later did not disappoint. The Pacers were 0-2 behind and they fought the Bulls to the end.

The nine players who played in the game in the tiebreaker all scored points, among which Miller even made 7 of 13 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, scored 22 points, 4 assists and 2 steals. However, the Bulls obviously performed better in this game. In addition to Jordan scoring 28 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, there were also 21 points and Pippen 17 points and 12 rebounds. However, this game was also the smallest score difference (5 points) in the four games lost by the Pacers. It can be seen from this that it is quite regrettable.

2. Kobe

Ticket Seven in the playoffs, averaged 22.2 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks,

Kobe's first tie-up was in his championship season. With his help in the 1999-2000 season, the Lakers successfully won the championship, but they also encountered many challenges in the playoffs this year. The Kings once forced them to a desperate situation in the first round. In the later Western Conference Finals, the Lakers won the ticket to advance until the end. In the tiebreak of the Western Conference Finals, Kobe performed very well. He scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in the whole game. It can be seen that he not only has outstanding performance in scoring, but also has outstanding performance in rebounds and defense when he tries his best to win. After winning the championship in 2000, Kobe led the Lakers to defend the title successfully in 2001, and this year was also the easiest year for them to win the championship. In 2002, the Lakers, who were determined to win three consecutive championships, encountered challenges from other strong teams again. Among them, the West Finals opponent Kings was undoubtedly the Lakers' strongest opponent in the season. They once led the Lakers 3-2 with the help of Weber and others, but G6 O'Neal and Kobe broke out and scored 72 points and 28 points rebounds, which allowed the Lakers to escape. In the tiebreak, the opponent's OK combination continued his performance at home. O'Neal scored 35 points and 13 rebounds, while Kobe scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. In the end, the Lakers successfully reached the finals and also achieved the goal of three consecutive championships.

By 2006, the Lakers' lineup was completely different from before. Although Kobe scored more luxurious data at this time, the team's record did not improve much. In the 2006 playoffs, the Lakers were in the end with a 3-1 lead. This was also the only time Kobe lost the playoff tiebreak. He only scored 24 points in this game and the team was abused by 31 points.

Later, Kobe played three tiebreakers, against the Rockets in the 2009 playoff semi-finals, against the Celtics in the 2010 finals, and against the Nuggets in the first round in 2012. These three times, Kobe's Lakers won. However, as he gets older, Kobe's performance is not as good as he was in his youth. He only has 14 points against the Rockets, 23 points against the Celtics, and 17 points against the Nuggets..

3. James

Trick 7 in the playoffs averaged 34.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.9 blocks

When he entered the playoffs for the first time, James experienced a tiebreak. Facing the top team of the Eastern Conference, Pistons, he led a lineup that was far inferior to his opponents on paper and still dragged the series into a tiebreak. In the last game, the young James scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Unfortunately, the team still failed to defeat his opponent in an upset. In 2008, facing the Celtics, the Cavaliers still hit a tiebreak with a lineup not as good as their opponents. In the last game, James scored 45 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. In this game, Pierce stood up and beat James to Biao and scored 40+, so the Celtics successfully entered the Eastern Conference Final.

However, it was since 2008 that James has never lost the tiebreak again, and he has played satisfactory performance every time. In the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics, James scored 31 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, thus ending his seven-game losing streak and successfully won his first championship afterwards. In the 2013 Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers, James scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The team finally successfully defended the title this season. In the finals, James scored 37 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Later, he returned to the Cavaliers. James led the team to win the first championship in team history in 2016. In the finals, he helped the team get back the situation in the series step by step. In the last game, he also contributed 27 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks, triple-double data. Then in the 2018 playoffs, facing the Pacers in the first round and facing the Celtics in the tiebreak, James scored 45 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 35 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 blocks respectively. It can be said that his performance is impeccable every time. Therefore, based on the number of tiebreaks he participated in and his personal performance, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the king of tiebreaks.
