151: Hero Tears
"At least Kobe Bryant kept the hope of promotion for the Lakers, didn't he? This is not a game that can be easily won." Don Anthony called a timeout, and the commentator was in the studio. bedding.

"There are 11 seconds left. Now we have the ball and lead. The Los Angeles people will definitely foul. This is our opportunity. Steve, you control the ball, you must control the rhythm. Do you want to make a mistake, and Sean, pay attention to the pick-and-roll." Don Anthony said and drew a few running routes on the tactical board.The chests of Steve Nash and Lamarre Stoudemire, who were surrounded by the crowd, had a lot of ups and downs. They did not show signs of physical collapse when they were on the court, but when they returned to the court, their Everything is exposed.

"Can you two still hold on? There are only 11 seconds left." Don Anthony's face was serious. These last 11 seconds are closely related to whether the Suns can advance to the Western Conference Finals!
Seeing Don Anthony's dignified expression, Nash nodded heavily. This is the pinnacle of his career, and he will do his best to take another step forward.Stoudemire said softly: "I'm just kicking off, no problem." With the guarantee from Stoudemire and Nash, Don Anthony's heart was slowly relieved. At this time, their advantages are very obvious. The Los Angeles people want to Turning over will never be easy.

On the visiting team's bench, although Qin Tao looked serious, he didn't seem nervous. "Remember the person I asked you to watch? Keep a good eye on everyone. This is our last chance. Don't let me relax." Qin Tao said loudly. He didn't arrange any defensive tactics. He put Kobe Bryant Lyonte and Caron Butler called aside.

"You two pay attention to double-teaming Nash. They will definitely use pick-and-roll tactics to get out of the space. You double-teamed the moment Lamarre was about to kick off. This is our last chance. If it doesn't work, foul it. Caron, today Your condition is not good, but I believe you can do well. You will pay attention to our gestures later, and I will remind you at the most appropriate time." Qin Tao said seriously, and when the whistle sounded for the end of the timeout, he gave Butler punches.

Butler touched his chest, which was where Qin Tao's fist hit just now, "This is the boss's trust in me, I must succeed." Clenching his fists and swearing secretly, although today he always felt that he was almost out of breath, but this time he mustered up all his strength and vowed to complete the final fatal blow.

The fans were cheering, and Stoudemire came to the sideline to kick off.The referee blew his whistle, and the players of the Suns all started to run, and Stoudemire was also looking for an opportunity to serve. 4 seconds, 3 seconds, the ball seems to be unable to come out.Just before Stoudemire kicked off, it was estimated that it was less than half a second.A man in black came out to steal the show. He raised his left hand and shouted loudly: "Clip it, quick!"

"God's left hand, it's God's left hand, what did I see? At this time, Qin Tao actually started the moment of God's left hand, my God! Can the Lakers add another touch to the already ups and downs of the script?" With the narrator's frantic Roar, the atmosphere at the competition site reached its highest point, and the climax of tonight's drama also came at this moment.

The cheers turned into boos in an instant, and Kobe Bryant and Caron Butler double-teamed, resulting in a turnover by Nash, who was almost exhausted.This is a fatal mistake, Nash missed the ball.After Qin Tao raised his left hand, the two ready to go immediately rushed towards Nash who was about to catch the ball.The sudden pressure forced Nash, who was physically exhausted, to make the deadliest mistake. Kobe quickly stuck Nash in the position of saving the ball.And Stoudemire, who had kicked off the ball from the sideline, had already rushed towards the ball, and he touched the basketball.

Just as the fans at the scene and Don Anthony, who jumped up like an electric shock, breathed a sigh of relief, a black shadow came out from behind.It's Caron Butler!He had just reached double digits in scoring in the whole game, but he made 3 turnovers and completed the most exciting steal at the last moment.

"Caron -- Butler -- the basketball was slapped upcourt by him, and he was chasing the ball, and he had Shawn Marion and LaMarre Stoudemire behind him, and it was a game of speed. Competition. His opponent is not only the two Suns behind him, but also time." The commentator was roaring, and Caron Butler was running at full speed, running with all his strength.

The trust of the boss, the hope of victory, the place to advance to the Western Conference Finals, the expectations of the Los Angeles fans... everything is concentrated on the small spherical object in front of it.Just now he used a little more force when stealing the ball. The basketball seemed to be running towards the baseline and was about to go out. The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly. Everyone was paying attention to the running black shadow and the orange basketball.

Caron Butler gritted his teeth, he thought of the dark life in the slums, he thought of the scene of selling drugs in order to survive as a child, and he thought of the scene of being handcuffed and arrested by the police in class.Everything flashed in his mind, and then he remembered the expectant eyes of the Chinese man, his trusting eyes.No one had ever spoken words of appreciation to him, no one had ever trusted him like that man.He was accelerating, and he felt like his knee was going to snap.

In fact, the distance from the center line to the basket is not far away, but because the basketball went to the bottom line, Butler surpassed the speed limit in less than a second.

"Caron——he controlled the basketball when the basketball was about to fly out of the bottom line, and there was still time—" The commentator looked forward to a miracle. The Los Angeles Lakers are a team that is good at creating miracles. It has been like this from before.

Butler knew that time was running out, all he had to do now was to put the basketball into the hoop quickly, he could feel that Marion was not far from him, and Kobe was behind Marion.His teammates can't help him at this time, he can only rely on himself.After controlling the ball from the baseline, Butler starts again at full speed, and in this moment his speed is almost comparable to that of Allen Iverson.

Marion has been forced over, Butler turned around and spared Marion lightly, and at the same time he had enough space and angle to shoot.He took off, leaned back, flicked his right hand lightly in the air, and the basketball flew out of his palm obediently.The beating numbers of the timer reset to zero at this moment, and the red indicator light lit up at the same time.

"Crack!" This is the sound of hitting the board, and what follows is a "swish!" The commentator in the studio has fallen into a state of madness, "The ball-in- ——The ball—goed——this was a fierce game. No, it was tragic. The Lakers won the place to advance to the Western Conference Finals, and they are moving towards the O’Brien Cup step by step.”

"Nash shed heroic tears, and their season is over. We congratulate the Lakers and wish the Suns the promotion. They also have unlimited hopes and look forward to their comeback next year."

Butler, who was lying on the ground, raised his hands above the head of the country, and a drop of water appeared in the corner of his eye.He could feel someone pressing on top of him, but he knew who it was without opening his eyes.Yes, that man.It was the man who trusted him, the man who admired him.It is enough for a confidant to die in life. Someone appreciates his talent, this is the most important thing.

Butler could hear the man shouting excitedly, "Caron, we won, you did it, we made the cut, and the Phoenix season is over." Hearing his excited shouts, Butler felt that everything was worth it .What he thought at this moment was not that he had become the hero of the team, but that he was worthy of the trust of the Chinese man.

The cheers from his teammates grew louder, and Butler felt like he and the man were thrown into the sky.He heard the teammates around him congratulating him, but his hearing gradually became blurred, and it seemed that the gunshots that would ring out all the time in the slums sounded in his ears. 'He wasn't the one who discovered me, but he was the first person to trust me so much.I, Caron Butler, have only fought for him in my life! '

Caron Butler is quiet in his own world, and the players don't bother him.But the other person had to be devastated. After the players threw him into the sky, they all dispersed suddenly, "I... a female horse, give me more physical training when I go back, and I must let you do more physical training!"

Qin Tao, who was thrown to the ground, stood up clutching his waist, surrounded by a circle of Lakers players.Qin Tao looked at the excited faces and couldn't hide his own face.Suddenly he pointed to Kobe and said, "We can win today and we can't forget him! Caron is a hero, so is he!"

Retaliation is not possible at such a time, Qin Tao is going to take a back seat.With Qin Tao's proposal, Kobe was also thrown up by everyone. At this moment, Kobe took off his haughty coat, and he laughed loudly.He was really excited tonight. Without that fat man, he led the team to the Western Conference Finals.Although he wasn't the one who made the kill tonight, he was the biggest contributor to the team's victory as he scored 36 points.

The celebration of the Lakers players and coaching staff is only part of the center of the air corridor, and the fans here did not show any extreme performance to the visiting team's victory.Maybe they wanted to kill each other before the game was over, but now that the game was over, they were convinced that they lost.In the end, there was no problem with Caron's goal. Although the fans couldn't believe it, their quality of watching the ball was indeed high, and they didn't blame anyone.The referee's call today was a bit biased towards the home team, but the home team failed to win a game. It can't be blamed on others, but they can only be blamed for their inferior skills.So what if the skills are not as good as people?We will come back next year!The fans didn't leave, they were reminiscing about the fantastic performance of the Phoenix Suns in the regular season this season.No matter how many years later, the sudden emergence of this season, the sun rising from the west will still appear in the memory of fans.Just like the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, this is a brilliance that fans will never forget.

The fans watched the playback on the big screen and were reluctant to leave, but Don Anthony disappeared at the end of the player tunnel with the two core players who had left tears.Nash and Stoudemire felt something important in their hearts suddenly shattered the moment Butler hit the lore.Tears flowed down involuntarily, and Nash only said one sentence to the reporters who came to interview him.He said with red eyes: "We don't blame others, we will come back next year."
