Chapter 821: Burning Ice
Chamberlain took a deep breath after getting the ball, his feet naturally opened, and then his knees jumped up with a slight drop, held the ball above his head with one hand, held the ball with his left hand, his wrist shook softly, his body relaxed and naturally exerted force, and the ball was projected.
On the Lakers' bench, the roar of the Zen master was still spreading: "Damn, who let him go?!" Stick to Z......"
He was only half-talking, and at this point it was clear that no one could continue to carry out his orders, and all the players could do was look up at the flying ball and pray that it would not hit.
The basketball flew in the air, like a meteor dragging a tail flame across the sky, and the trajectory was so gorgeous and brilliant.
In the end, under the desperate gaze of Lakers fans, the ball got into the hoop.
âMVPïŒâ Warriors fans jumped with cheer!
After hitting a three-point shot, the score became 92-93, and the Warriors were only one point behind, and at this time, there was still one minute left.
The Lakers struggled to hold the ball, and Bryant controlled the ball himself, and he ran slowly, running half a lap outside the three-point line before passing the ball to Gasol.
Chamberlain personally came to guard Gasol, he didn't press forward, leaving a distance, if Gasol was brave enough, then shoot in front of him!
Gasol clearly knew what it meant to shoot in front of Oxlade-Chamberlain, and he pushed in twice sideways, and suddenly made a quick pass to Bynum on the inside. Bynum gets the ball, and a figure rushes out from the inside, Fisher!
Fisher took possession of the ball almost savagely from Bynum, then turned extremely quickly and sent the ball to the hoop.
Although Lao Yu shot, his afterglow was staring at Chamberlain, as long as the latter had a tendency to come up to make up for the defense, he would pass the ball, but in his field of vision, Chamberlain was blocked by Gasol, and there was no way to make up for the defense!
Gasol is smart and always knows how to help his teammates.
But what made the old fish strange was that although Chamberlain failed to make up for the defense, there was a smile on his face.
A weird smile, a reassuring smile.
Soon, Lao Yu understood what was going on, because the ball he shot was pressed against the rebound by a big black hand, and let out a dull loud noise: "Bang! â
Ibaka!
The low-key Serge Ibaka made another contribution at a crucial moment, and his blocking skills were once again on display and made a big difference.
Iverson, who followed the defense of Fisher, jumped up from behind to grab the ball, and then passed to West on the outside, who saw Iverson get the ball and turned and gritted his teeth and ran forward at a speed like wind and thunder.
The ball arrived as scheduled and fell in front of West, Lakers fans despaired again, West made an incredible second acceleration, like a sharp arrow, whistling into the restricted area, grabbing the ball and throwing it into the hoop.
There was silence in the Staples arena, Lakers fans looked at the court in despair, Lakers players gasped for air, Warriors - hit again?
94-93, at the critical moment, the Warriors led by 1 point!
The Warriors were in a frenzy, the bench screamed, West ran back, Chamberlain picked him up, and the Jackson Iversons in the back rushed up and carried him on their shoulders.
Iverson shouted, "Little, I'll know you're fine!" I know that you can shoot this ball in front of Kobe, and you will definitely be able to, just like me! â
A cold snort sounded, and Kobe Bryant said coldly next to him: "The game is not over yet!" â
Chamberlain looked at the time, and sure enough, there were still more than six seconds, and the rest of the time was like a scoop of cold water pouring down from the top of their heads, allowing them to quickly recover their composure, yes, the game is not over yet.
The Zen master undoubtedly used up the last timeout, and the players from both sides left the field, and the fans watched nervously on the benches of the two teams, and they did not dare to gasp.
I don't know how many people drew crosses on their chests at this moment, Lakers fans prayed to God bless them with offensive success, Warriors fans prayed for their team's defensive success, as for who God helps, it depends on the luck of both sides.
The Zen master kept drawing curves on the tactical board and muttered, "Listen to me, boys, we're one point behind, yes, so we just need one or two points to win." They all thought that we were going to let Kobe Bryant make the last shot, ha, that's stupid, Gasol, you do the last shot, listen to my arrangement, pass the ball like this......"
The Zen master was proud of his successful psychological warfare arrangement, and a big black hand slapped on the tactical board, and then Kobe's cold and fierce voice sounded: "I'll you X, Fei'er, don't talk nonsense, give me the ball, and then let the Aucklanders go home!" â
Kobe Bryant spoke up, and the decision was made. The Zen master used a quicker time to come up with a tactic, and Kobe Bryant executed the lore.
This tactic is actually very simple, that is, Gasol serves Kobe, and then Kobe runs with the ball, and finally shoots.
Hit, Kobe Bryant is a hero, can't hit - Kobe doesn't believe this kind of thing will happen!
At the end of the timeout, players from both sides came on the court, and the Warriors sent a lineup of Chamberlain, Ibaka, Jackson, West, and Billups, all of which were defensive giants.
The Lakers' lineup doesn't matter, as long as Kobe Bryant is there, because everyone knows that Kobe will carry out the last offense.
Gasol stood on the sidelines of the court, he held the ball high above his head, Ibaka bouncing in front of him, and Chamberlain sat in a position at the front of the free throw area, knowing that if Bryant attacked, he would have to end it with a mid-range shot.
Both Jackson and West were posted in front of Kobe, and as for Fisher? Let him catch the ball, I don't believe that the old fish still has such a big heart!
Seeing this, Kobe gritted his teeth, he was like a dragon trapped in a fishing net, running and struggling while waving his hand to the bottom of his feet, shouting: "Give the ball to Gasol!" â
Fisher didn't hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Gasol, who had just run inside.
And at this moment, Kobe Bryant suddenly turned around, ran towards the basket, ran a few steps later, and when Gasol raised the ball to make a long shot, he turned around again like a fish, shook off West, who was close to him, and rushed outside the three-point line!
In the last two seconds, Gasol, who made a shooting pose, threw the ball again!
Kobe Bryant received the ball, facing West who pounced and Jackson who followed closely behind, his face showed a calm and crazy look - yes, it was such a weird expression, everyone could feel Kobe's madness, but they also knew that Kobe Bryant was extremely calm at this time, like a piece of ice.
If you want to describe Kobe Bryant at this moment, it should be described as burning ice, or a frozen flame, it is so contradictory, it is so domineering!
Master Gu Long described Xiao Li Tanhua's flying knife as not as cumbersome as the secret weapon of the Tang Sect, without the splendor of the Jiangnan swordsman, and without the wildness of the Mobei swordsman, he just shot simply and simply, and then, sealed his throat with a knife!
Kobe Bryant's shooting is the same, after he gets the ball, his eyes stare at the hoop, his body then jumps in the air, his right hand supports the ball, his right arm is bent, his left hand is attached to the side of the ball, and then his right wrist is gently shaken, and the ball shoots out!
Looking at the basketball flying in the air, Chamberlain's heart suddenly sank, he knew the result!
"Huh!" With a crisp sound, the Nets flipped and jumped like a huge wave......
Then, almost along with the buzzing sound that represented the end of the game, there was an almost crazy scream from the fans, as if Pompeii had erupted again, and the outpouring of passion and enthusiasm was far more crazy than magma!
Lakers fans jumped up, and at this moment they were the happiest and happiest people in the world, while Warriors fans were dumbfounded, looking at the scarlet 94-96 on the scoreboard, and for a moment it was as if they were a world away.
One second of cheering, the next second of despair.
One second, the difference between heaven and earth!
The Warriors were stunned, they knew that the last attack was carried out by Kobe, but they didn't expect Kobe to be so crazy, he actually made a three-point shot when the team was one point behind!
That's a three-point shot, Kobe Bryant's shooting rate is less than 40%, and West and Jackson are staring at him, but he stubbornly chose this way to shoot and hit.
Kobe Bryant landed calmly, standing proudly outside the three-point line with his arms raised, and at this moment he was the king of the whole Los Angeles.
The fans felt the same way, and the cheers resounded in the stadium: "KB, MVP!" "KB, the king of the Lakers!" "KB, glory!"
The Warriors players looked at each other with some frustration, Chamberlain wiped his sweat, he couldn't help but curse angrily, frowned and walked off the court.
No one pays attention to the losers, and now the Lakers fans only have Kobe Bryant in their eyes, and the Warriors players have been ignored by them.
It was one of the pinnacles of Kobe's playoff game, as he scored 42 points on 14-of-24 shooting in 40 minutes, in addition to 10 rebounds and six assists.
You know, the entire Lakers only scored 96 points today, and Kobe Bryant almost cut half of it, especially in the second half, his 28 points overshadowed Chamberlain's 35 points and 18 rebounds.
Chamberlain's loss cannot be said to be convincing, because in his opinion, today's whistle is a bit biased in favor of the Lakers, especially the inexplicable technical foul, but I have to admit that Kobe Bryant deserves today's victory.
So in the post-match press conference, he said: "There were no losers today, we all did our best, everybody, everybody on the pitch and everyone on the bench. It can only be said that we are unlucky, God is on Kobe's side at this moment, so even if it is such a difficult ball, he can complete it, but I know that God is fair, he will not always be by the side of the Lakers. â
Kobe Bryant was domineering and said, "Everyone is their own God!" â
Chamberlain thought about it, and then scolded in frustration, ******, Kobe Bryant took drugs today, right?" Even the speech at the press conference was better than him, this guy is not normal today, he must be taught a lesson in the next game!
The Lakers' victory, or Kobe's victory, made the previous Kobe No. 1's remarks once again occupied the sports media section, and the California Sports Newspaper shamelessly switched roles again, publishing a news report: "Young Z still needs to learn from the golden KB, the best players are still in Los Angeles."
And Phil Jackson was also in high spirits, and he took advantage of this precious victory to start pressing on the Lakers' uniform group.
He told a friend that he would not accept the Lakers' big pay cut next season. If the Lakers insist on drastically reducing the salary of Zen masters next season, it is likely that Zen masters will not return to the team's coaching bench.
According to previous news, Lakers owner Jerry Buss intends to reduce the salary of the Zen master next season from the current $12 million to $5 million, which is a bit ruthless, which is simply a deliberate attempt to force the Zen master away, and some black-hearted bosses shamelessly pay arrears in order to force their subordinates to resign.
The Zen master specifically mentioned this stubble in an interview, and said dissatisfiedly: "The Lakers offered me a salary cut to renew the contract, in the eyes of others, this contract is quite lucrative, but I just want to say that this is simply ridiculous." â
At present, there is no final consensus between the Lakers and the Zen master, but this does not mean that other teams have the opportunity to "fish in troubled waters" to poach the legendary coach from the Lakers.
The old man is still a little arrogant, and the Bulls and Nets broke the news that he was going to coach, but the Zen master said that even if the Lakers insisted on cutting their salary, they would not choose to go to other teams for money, and said that retirement may be the only option after he leaves the Lakers.
However, there is also news that if New York or Chicago can get James, and the Lakers still insist on giving Zen Master a salary cut, then Zen Master does not rule out the possibility of going to coach.
In a word, where there are thighs, there is a Zen master, as Cardinal O'Brien said, a Zen master has a sharp nose and can always find the kind of player who can help him win the championship the fastest.
