Chapter 833: Home Crisis II
Bryant tugged at the placket of his chest, revealing his bloodthirsty fangs.
Yang Di crossed his hands on his hips, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly.
He is also an S+ level player, at the same level as Yang Di, and LeBron, who fought alone last year, is unwilling, Kobe Bryant has the help of Kevin Garnett, and the key ability at critical moments is more aggressive.
The key two-point shot, the exaggerated pull lever and the backhand layup, Kobe Bryant used this difficult goal to build a classic picture at this moment.
He has scored 45 points, and the Lakers are 108-107, one point ahead of the Warriors.
With 56 seconds left in the game, the Warriors asked for a timeout without question.
Montgomery drew several complicated circuit diagrams on the tactical board and shouted: "We have to score this goal, if this goal can't be scored, then the balance of the game will completely tip to the Lakers' side, and the situation of the whole series will change unpredictably, do you want to give up the victory?" ”
Yang Di drank a glass of water and returned the empty cup to the staff.
On the court, Montgomery replaced Ariza with Danny Granger, who had a better offense, and the Warriors returned to the starting five.
The fans nervously folded their hands and put them on their chests.
The three referees stood apart, and after all the players settled, the basketball was handed over to Yang Di, who served on the sidelines, and then the whistle sounded and the ball was officially kicked off.
Byron Davis came out of the baseline and took advantage of Tyson Chandler's off-ball cover to receive a pass from Youngdy.
Yang Di immediately cut the ball and ran into the inside line from the right side of Tyson Chandler, who completed two off-ball running covers in different places.
This time, the quality of off-ball coverage is very high, but the Lakers' defensive reaction strategy is also very good, and players such as Kwame Brown directly let go of Tyson Chandler, that is, together with Garnett, desperately wrapped up Youngdy.
Byron Davis held the ball and broke inside, and the speed advantage was evident in the face of Derrick Fisher's defense.
Fisher was half a body behind, and secretly tugged Byron's clothes, and the referee chose to be silent about this kind of ball that can be blown or not blown at this time, and Byron saw that there was no one inside, so he went straight to the basket.
A dark shadow popped up diagonally, and No. 5 jumped high to intercept Byron Davis' layup in the air.
"Garnett!"
Byron's heart shook, and when he went to the basket, he obviously raised the arc, and the basketball smashed on the front of the basket and missed.
Everyone was eyeing the rebound, Yang Di flew up regardless of Kobe Bryant on his body, I don't know how many people he fought in the air, gritted his teeth, and grabbed this frontcourt rebound!
"Smack!"
Yang Di put his hands together, turned around and hooked his hands on the ground.
It was Garnett, who was full of his assistant defense, interfering with Yang Di's hook shot, and the basketball went out of the frame and was caught by Derrick Fisher in the chaos.
"Crucial backcourt rebound! Derek Fisher! ”
The media in Los Angeles exclaimed, Fisher's rebound, worth a thousand dollars.
In less than 30 seconds, the Lakers possessed the ball, and the Warriors trailed by one point.
The fans at the scene let out a sigh in unison, after this key goal was not scored, the Warriors had become very dangerous, and the Lakers did not call a timeout and controlled the rhythm.
Bryant held the ball on the outside, and when there were 7 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, he suddenly started to change direction.
Calmly breaking through in front of Danny Granger, who was defending him, Granger was shaken and staggered, but he couldn't help but dig after keeping up with Kobe's pace.
"Smack!"
Bryant found the right moment and dangled his arm to Danny Granger when he shot with both hands.
"Toot ~"
The referee's whistle blew for a defensive foul on Danny Granger.
Danny Granger hugged his head, looking dazed and incredulous, but Kobe Bryant was completely the opposite of him, turning back and high-fives Fisher, Garnett and others in celebration.
The camera was given to Montgomery on the sidelines, and Montgomery spread his hands, which was also incredible.
Yang Di stood under the basket and was ready to grab the rebound, he was the most calm player, he had seen a lot of penalties at this critical moment, and it was difficult to define what happened in the referee's mind.
The audience booed.
Bryant booed and hit both free throws.
After the Warriors called the last timeout, Montgomery arranged a three-point strategy, which did not have much to do with Yang Di.
Yang Di's position in this tactic is to rush to the front court to rebound, and then grab it out and distribute it to his teammates, Byron is responsible for the breakout, mainly the most accurate Ray Allen and Danny Granger shots.
After the timeout, the Warriors tee off.
Byron broke through along the Jandy block and distributed it to the hands of Ray Allen on the outside, and Ray Allen was focused on by Kobe Bryant and others, and the ball was turned to Danny Granger in the semi-empty position.
Granger shot a three-point jumper in the midst of the prayers of the fans in the court!
"Bell!"
The basketball crossed a trajectory, but missed the jumper.
Yang Di rushed to grab this frontcourt rebound under everyone's gaze, Garnett and Kwame Brown couldn't hold him down, and Yang Di distributed it to Byron Davis who was empty at the top of the arc.
Byron jumpers with a three-point shot!
The team's second key three-point shot rekindled the fans' hope.
"Bell!"
A crisp sound of iron, still no!
When the rebound ball flew up, Yang Di's left and right arms were clamped, and he watched Kobe Bryant fly up and grab this key backcourt rebound.
The Warriors fouled Bryant at the first time.
Bryant hit one of two free throws from the free throw line, and the Warriors trailed by four points with only 3.8 seconds of offensive time, and the game was completely out of suspense.
In the end, the Lakers upset 111-107 away, defeating the championship favorite Warriors, and the two teams still had the lead in the regular season, but they didn't expect to lose the home court advantage of the entire series in the first game of the Western Conference finals.
Yang Di shook his head and was the first to walk into the players' tunnel, with a very obvious expression of dissatisfaction on his face.
Kobe Bryant stood on the sidelines to be interviewed by the media, and he was named the most valuable player of the game after scoring 48 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.
"The Warriors are still very strong, but we have a little bit of better shape. We scored some open balls, they missed some goals that should have been scored, we played our best defensively, we took the initiative on the pitch when it mattered, and we got the win. ”
Ke Ru said, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.
Yang had a big double-double of 35 points and 19 rebounds on 13-of-27 shooting, but the team lost, and any of his stats were meaningless. What's more, as an insider, his shooting percentage has not exceeded 5 percent, which makes many experts say that his data is watery, leading the team to team annihilation.
