424: It's that time again
Link sat on the sidelines and looked up at the big screen.
The game has reached the last second of the third quarter, and the Los Angeles Lakers are only 4 points behind the Grizzlies!
From the beginning of the Jedi counterattack in the second quarter of the game to the present, the Lakers' efforts have paid off. They used two quarters of play to narrow the gap to four points. Although it has not yet completed the overtake, it has at least got the opportunity to play the fourth quarter of the decisive battle.
The fourth-quarter showdown, which is why Stevens let Link rest early. Link was sure that the fourth quarter would be a big game. If you don't take a few breaths now, it will become the backdrop for the Lakers to complete today's big comeback!
Speaking of which, although the game is not over yet, the Lakers' performance today is already very scary.
In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant scored 16 points in a single quarter. Among them, 3 of 3 shots from beyond the three-point line! 5-of-6 from the free-throw line.
But if Kobe's 16 points alone weren't enough, in the second half of the second quarter, Antoine. Jamison stepped forward. Taking advantage of the time when the black and white bears were off the break, they beat Speights and Aizeli into doubt.
After all, Jamison at his peak is also a man who can score 20+10 data per game, before coming to the Lakers, last season in the Cavaliers, Jamison averaged 17.2 points per game.
This season, it's just that the role positioning has become a substitute, so the numbers have plummeted. But if he had the chance, Jamison could still do something.
Jamison and Bryant teamed up to get the Lakers' offense back on track. In the third quarter, Bryant continued his crazy performance, scoring 11 points in a single quarter and shooting 4 of 6. And in the third quarter, Kobe's helper changed from Jamison to Ci Shiping.
After Kobe Bryant played against the sky, Link had to leave Tzu Shiping behind in some rounds to wrap Kobe Bryant. As a result, Ci Shiping really grasped the opportunity. In the third quarter, Ci Shiping made 4 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 9 points.
For a player who averages just 12.4 points per game, nine points in a single quarter is magical enough.
And just like that, the game was played to the last second of the third quarter. The Lakers have the ball, and they have to serve the baseline ball. It looked like it was impossible to score the ball.
The Grizzlies players are ready to go into the fourth quarter with a slim four-point advantage.
On the court, Ci Shiping took a step back when he served the baseline ball, and then threw the basketball directly to the front court like a shot put!
No one thought that Ci Shiping would serve like this, and no one knew if it was D'Antoni's arrangement or Ci Shiping's sudden brain pumping.
But what is even more unexpected is that Jamison, the only Lakers player in the frontcourt, received the ball in a daze, and then threw the ball to the basket with one hand in front of Speights outside the three-point line. Since it was only one second, Jamison didn't even have time to shoot.
His shot is like a one-handed shot, and it is like a big hook outside the three-point line. In short, it's not a serious move.
Link got up from the bench and prepared to high-five his teammates off the court. Then, at the same time as the electronic beep sounded, he heard the sound of the Nets tumbling.
"What!?" Link looked up at the court, where the net was still fluttering slightly, and the basketball was bouncing under the basket. From the stands, there were exclamations from the fans.
On the big screen, the score became 81-80. The Los Angeles Lakers are only 1 point behind, and Jamison's incredible whistle shot just now earned the Lakers three points!
"The ball went in! Haha, it seems that even God doesn't want the Lakers to fall to the Grizzlies like this. Now, the two sides are only 1 point apart! The Lakers only need a 2-pointer to overtake the score! From falling behind by 16 points to now chasing only 1 point, the tenacity of the Lakers is obvious to all! ”
", this can all go in!" Randolph muttered, shaking his head in disappointment. This kind of ball, for the leading side, is the most demoralizing.
Now, the Lakers and Grizzlies have fully reversed their momentum. The Lakers' morale is high, while the Grizzlies' side is somewhat lifeless.
Stevens hurriedly took the tactical board and looked at everyone seriously, "I said a long time ago, the game is not over!" Now, I must remind you again with the same words! The Lakers trailed by 16 points in the first quarter, and they didn't give up. Now we are one point ahead, and we must not be discouraged! I know we've dropped a lot of points in the last two quarters, but that doesn't mean it's going to happen in the fourth quarter. Listen, in the fourth quarter of the game, I need you to defend strictly one-on-one, change the defense if there is a block, and don't wrap one between two people! ”
Stevens speaks quickly and draws lines on the tactical board even faster. After a while, the originally clean tactical board was already unrecognizable.
Link listened to the tactics as he looked at the opposite half. Bryant. Bryant, 33 points in the third quarter, horrible guy! If it weren't for him, the Lakers would have died twice.
Link has also scored 22 points so far, and 22 points in the third quarter, which is quite a lot. But compared to Kobe, it's really not enough to watch.
Before the game, the questions asked by the reporters were all fulfilled. If you play against Kobe Bryant at a critical moment, do you have confidence?
Now, deep down, Link repeats the question again.
Facing a 34-year-old Kobe Bryant who can still score 33 points in the third quarter, are you confident?
If the game does hit a critical moment, will you still miss?
Link felt a lot of pressure, but after looking at the wooden floor under his feet, the Grizzlies logo on the court, and the fans who were full of expectations, Link instantly relaxed again.
yes, reporters are all looking to the Lakers, and the world, except for Grizzlies fans, is hoping that the Lakers can win five in a row in Memphis.
After all, the Lakers are the most high-profile team, and it seems like everyone is happy to win them.
But Link is just going to break this happy ending, who made the grizzly bear the villain!
It's a federal delivery arena, it's my home turf!
The electronic beep sounded again, but Link had gone from being restless to restless.
"We're going to win the game because we never give up. Come on, 1, 2, 3, win! ”
With a loud roar, the Grizzlies starting five Tigers returned to the court. The Lakers, on the other hand, temporarily gave Kobe Bryant a two-minute break.
Without Kobe's entanglement, Link began his own show. He burst into the field and scored in a row. But the Lakers weren't idle, and Jamison continued his good form, continuing to use his shooting to hit the Black and White Bears' defense.
Two minutes later, Bryant returned. So, the two sides entered the struggle again.
15.6 seconds before the end, Kobe Bryant made a difficult turnover jumper under Iguodala's defense! At that moment, the entire Lakers bench cheered! The fans in the stands covered their heads with their hands in frustration.
A handful of Lakers fans cheered wildly in the stands, as if there was an anti-guest momentum!
"Kobe. Bryant! A turnaround jumper at a critical moment! While scoring his 42nd personal point of the game, he finally brought the Los Angeles Lakers to equalize the score! From trailing by 16 points in the first quarter to now, the Lakers have finally caught up with the score! 104 to 104, and now the pressure is all on the Grizzlies' side! If they can't make the next attack, the game will go to extra time! And when the time comes, whether the Grizzlies can still contain the morale-boosting Lakers, but it is not necessarily! ”
Barkley yelled vigorously, and when the Lakers trailed by 16 points in the first quarter, Barkley actually felt that the Lakers were done.
Who knew that 15 seconds before the end, the Lakers could have equalized the score, which shows how shocking this made Barkley feel.
Kobe Bryant still didn't make too much of a celebration after scoring the goal, but maintained a murderous face!
34 years old, 42 points in a single game, and the last attack equalized the score, Kobe Bryant is not easy!
Howard and Gasol continue to score only 7 and 6 points today, and in the case of the Lakers' twin towers playing like this, the Lakers can still fight the Grizzlies who are the first in the West, relying on Kobe!
It was a night for Kobe, and if the Lakers win, it would be the perfect script for Kobe!
In the noisy sound of the scene, Link, who had scored 30 points in this game, bowed his head and walked off the court.
He and Stevens looked at each other, then nodded. In the last game against the Nuggets, Link missed three points at a critical moment, causing him to be attacked by public opinion, causing his scoring ability at critical moments to be questioned.
But today, in the face of a similar situation, Link will not back down!
Destroy Kobe's perfect ending, that's what a villain should do!
Link has 15 seconds left to defend his home turf!
