Chapter 355 Meeting on a Narrow Road, the Brave Wins

Chapter 144 Meeting on a Narrow Road, the Brave Wins

There are more than 5 minutes left in the game, and the Hornets are still 6 points behind.

Seeing that the Hornets' point difference will be further widened.At this moment, Jack stood up.

Jack was wandering off the dribble, and called David West inside to come up and play a pick-and-roll for himself.

Jack is facing Odom's defense, and Jack is [-]% sure that he will completely pass Odom's defense.However, Jack was not sure that the Lakers defender behind Odom would be completely thrown off.

When David West mentioned the top of the arc as a screen, Bill Walton followed behind him and prepared to help David West in the defense.

Jack forced the start before David West was fully in place.If it is simply to get rid of Odom, Jack doesn't need David West's pick-and-roll at all.And Jack did this purely to make room for the inside line.

The reason for saying this is because Jack is full of confidence in his explosive power.

The speed of Odom's defense was not as fast as he expected, and Jack threw Odom away by more than half in one step.Power burst out of Jack's tight calves again, Jack accelerated again, and Jack gave Odom completely.

Jack went deep into the basket like an arrow with an open bow. As he approached the basket infinitely, his body after flying into the air was like a black lightning bolt, and his right hand holding the ball condensed his angry strength.

Jack was in the air with one hand, and at the same time his body was rising continuously, like a soaring rocket. Jack's whole body was filled with murderous aura. Facing the basketball that was close at hand, Jack yelled loudly, "Go to hell!"

Jack poured all the strength of his whole body into his right arm, facing the basket that was close at hand, with a loud bang, Jack slammed the ball into the basket hard.

The basket was overwhelmed and made a "buzzing" sound, and the basket was shaking from left to right...

The chaotic chants, cheers and boos that filled the Staples Center from the beginning of the game disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"God, what happened just now!?"

"My God? Why do I feel that he is flying?"

"I'm worried that the basket is rotten?"

………………

After Byron Scott on the sidelines saw Jack's beautiful counterattack, Byron Scott didn't care about his own image at all, jumped up from the ground, and slammed into the sky. He waved his fist a few times.At the same time, he went crazy and roared a few times at the top of his throat.

The Hornets' substitutes are used to seeing Jack's dunks in normal training or in games, but after seeing Jack's amazing dunk, they were still given a hard time by Jack. Pulled up from the seat.Waving his arms and cheering for Jack's wonderful goal.

…………

"Oh, Jack broke through Odom's defense, rose up in the crowd, and scored with a one-handed dunk. Today's top ten shots were born like this. Oh, my God? You still give me What kind of shock does a young heart look like?" Charles Barkley, who was sitting on the commentary booth, was shouting with emotion from the commentary booth.

"Come on? Dude, it's just a ball? Why are you so excited?" Kenny Smith just couldn't understand Barkley's appearance.

After hearing Kenny Smith's words, Charles Barkley's laughter suddenly stopped.Charles Barkley raised his head, glanced at Kenny Smith and said, "Dude, who said just now that Jack couldn't stand up like Kobe at a critical moment?"

"That's just a ball. Don't forget that the Hornets are still 4 points behind. The Hornets have a good chance of winning." Kenny Smith shot back.

"Whether you win or not, the answer will be revealed after the game is over. It's not up to you to judge. However, I'm sure Jack has the strength to take over the game." Charl Barkley said very confidently.

If Jack knew that Barkley was so optimistic about him, Jack would be surprised.

Because Charles Barkley's attitude changed too quickly.Last season, he kept saying: If the Hornets can make the playoffs, then he will kiss the ass of the donkey.

However, this season Charles Barkley explained every time the Hornets played.He will be left with a Jack, and there will be a Jack called.Regardless of whether the Hornets win or lose, they are on Jack's side.The combination of these points made Jack feel like he was adapting.

…………

The Lakers still handed the ball into Kobe's hands.

Kobe dribbled and walked outside the three-point line, looking for opportunities to attack.

Butler is now fouled for the fourth time, and he must control his fouls.Therefore, when defending Kobe, he did not dare to get too close to Kobe.

Five seconds had elapsed in possession of the ball, and Kobe suddenly changed his pace and began to break through to Butler's right, rushing towards the baseline.

Butler raised his hands high, and began to retreat quickly in an attempt to prevent his breakthrough route.

One step before Kobe was about to rush to the bottom line, Butler's pace just blocked his way forward, and Peja Stockovic also completely let go of Wharton to double-team from the flank. Kobe's breakthrough this time seems to have passed was cornered.

But is this really the case?
I saw that the moment Butler approached him, Kobe kicked his feet hard on the ground, and raised his hands holding the basketball tightly, but his whole body was farther and farther away in Butler's eyes.

"Backshot!"

With a sound of "rinse", the basketball went straight through the heart and into the net, and the basketball stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the rim, which was extremely gorgeous!

"Yeah..." Kobe's difficult fadeaway shot immediately ignited the fans at the Staples Center.There was a large exclamation at the scene, which was no less than Jack's shocking button just now.

Kobe's dunk also inspired Jack's fighting blood hidden deep in his heart, and, at this time, it had reached a boiling state.

Kobe was that kind of Jordan-level player, so he did something unbelievable.All are acceptable. After Kobe scored, the Hornets were not too surprised.The Hornets quickly returned to half court, ready for the next attack!
The Hornets players have all slipped to the half court, leaving Jack alone to catch the ball.

Just after Jack dribbled the ball halfway, he saw a row of eyeballs in front of him, circling around the basketball in his hand.

No one knew that Jack decided to go it alone this time. He used two consecutive dribbles under the crotch, then shook his left shoulder, and then kicked his right leg hard, relying on David West's cover to block the ball. Dom, and at this time others have rushed in quickly towards the inside.

Kwame Brown stepped up to defend, but when he came near the free throw line, Jack pretended to pass the ball so that Kwame Brown lost his defensive position. Jack took the opportunity to shoot, and Bill Walton on the inside casually put his slender body The right arm stretched out and dangled in front of Jack.

Immediately, Jack's shooting rhythm was seriously disturbed by this right arm, and the basketball rolled out of the basket with bumps.

"Oh, shit go in!" Charles Barkley said, leaning his neck forward, frowning.

"Dude, I've said it all..." Kenny Smith looked at Charles Barkley with a mocking expression.Because Kenny Smith could just use this opportunity to mock Charles Barkley.However, Kenny Smith found that he was wrong again.

"Yeah..." I saw the basketball slide a few times on the hoop, but finally it slid out of the hoop.There was a lot of cheers from the Lakers fans at the scene.However, their voices had just come out of their throats.He was immediately forced back by Jack.

The orange-red basketball left the hoop and was about to fall out.

I saw a blue shadow, like lightning, dodging and flying towards the basket, and flew out from the crowd.This person is Jack... Jack felt something was wrong after shooting the basket. After landing, Jack flew towards the basket that was bounced at the speed of a hungry wolf and a rabbit.

Jack treated his body like a dynamite package and threw it directly into the air. Jack, who was flying in the air, supported the basketball with both hands.

Facing the basket that was close at hand, Jack slammed the basketball in his hand into the basket hard!

bang!
The hoop hummed and shuddered like a girl who had been fucked to death on the bed.

And Kwame Brown, who is known as a parallel importer in the interior, can only watch Jack violently ravage the basket with his hands. The fans who cheered just now were once again choked by such a slam dunk.

Jack narrowed the score to the last 4 minutes left.

Lakers ball possession!

As the game progressed the game began to evolve into a duel between Bryant and Jack.

On the Lakers side, Kobe scored a goal, and Jack on the Hornets side will score the same way!The players on both sides are also very cooperative, trying to open up enough space for Jack and Kobe to play singles.

The scores of the two sides are constantly rising alternately, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the difference between the two sides, which has always been maintained between 4-6 points.

As long as the Hornets narrow the point difference to 4 points, the Lakers will immediately fight back and expand the score by 6 points.This situation continued until the last 1 minute and 03 seconds left in the game.

The Hornets also trailed by 6 points.

For this attack, Jack chose to fire with his back in the low position!
Jack faced Odom's defense with his back in the low post, shaking his upper body. Odom didn't dare to step away, and could only try his best to stick to Jack's body.

Moved!

Jack, who was holding the ball behind the basket, suddenly took a step to the left and then turned to the left. Odom quickly followed Jack's pace.

"Jump shot!?"

Seeing the shooting action made after Jack turned to the left, Odom could only stretch out his hands and try to interfere with the opponent's sight.

Where Jack's height and arm length are placed, it is impossible for Odom to block shots like this.

Jack took the shot easily and calmly. After the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, the basketball smashed straight into the basket.

With a bang, the basketball hit the net!

The Hornets relied on Jack's shooting to close the score to the last 4 points.

Jack's attack took the Hornets less than 10 seconds.There are still 56 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Hornets are still 4 points behind. As long as they defend this wave of offense from the Lakers, the Hornets have a great chance of winning.

Lakers ball possession!

At this critical moment, of course Kobe will firmly control the ball in his hands.

Now the Lakers lead, Bryant slowly dribbles through the half to control the rhythm.The Lakers stalled for time.This kind of key depth and delay is very detrimental to the Hornets.

However, the Hornets have no choice, is it still early?Foul is not worth it, now we can only wait!
The Lakers fans at the scene stood up involuntarily. All eyes were on Kobe who was dribbling in the middle circle. All the cameras on the scene were all shooting at Kobe...

At the same time, they also gave Jack a few close-ups...

I saw that the 24-second attack time was almost consumed.Kobe, who was dribbling near the middle circle, moved at this moment!

Butler has already gained experience in defending Kobe. Butler did not dare to rush forward to defend against Kobe this time. Instead, he played by ear and stretched his long arms in front of Kobe.

Kobe's body pushed Butler forward, Butler took a big step back, blocked Kobe's breakthrough line, saw the shooting space appeared, regardless of whether it was from the basketball court now a location.While playing the ball, Kobe bent his knees and kicked his body straight up from the ground.

Butler had already begun to anticipate Kobe's move in advance.Therefore, when Kobe pulled up, Butler had already mentioned to jump up to block the shot.

However, Bryant in the air is not in a hurry.I saw Kobe jumping in the air, throwing the basketball in his hand directly to Odom who had already cut into the basket from the baseline.

Kobe's pass was very comfortable, so Odom received the basketball very easily.

After receiving the basketball, Odom went straight to the start, bent his knees, kicked off the ground, and pulled his body straight up from the ground. Odom's goal was directed at the basket. He wanted to use this attack to vent his frustration on Jack just now. Where is the sulking received.

"Rebound, tremble!"

Looking at the basket close at hand, Odom roared in his heart. He wanted to rush away all the blockers in front of him, and he wanted to stuff the ball directly into the Hornets' basket to vent his anger.

Odom grabbed the basketball with both hands and smashed it into the basket. He was waiting for the trembling sound of the basket in response, and he wanted to hear the pleasant roar.

The loud bang of "Boom" did not come as expected, Odom only heard a "snap" slapping in his ears, and when he landed, he turned around and saw a tall figure enveloped him Above his head, the waving palm slapped his basketball away. At this moment, he seemed to see the hope of victory being slapped away by this palm. The basketball flying far away seemed to have taken away their possibility of victory. That 33 Horror's nightmare turned into a god, impossible to defeat forever.

There is no flaw in Jack's block, and there is no foul on Jack. The fans at the scene saw Jack's beautiful block.Even though they wanted to put pressure on the referee in their hearts, he still couldn't find a reason.

The flying basketball fell directly into Bill Walton's hands. At this time, the Lakers were 24 seconds away from the end of the attack time, and it was said that they had less than 2 seconds left.

After Bill Walton got it, he jumped up and shot the ball. With a "bang", the basketball bounced heavily to the front of the basket, and the basketball was bounced high.

Jack flew in the air, holding the ball tightly in his arms with both hands.Protect the basketball tightly.

Walton's ability to withstand pressure at critical moments of the game is still not good.But fortunately, Wharton's ability to bear pressure is not good, which gave the Hornets a chance to win.

With the last 30 seconds left in the game, the Hornets were still 4 points behind.

When the game came to such a critical moment, Jack didn't get overwhelmed. He and David West played the most commonly used and most practical pick-and-roll cooperation.Although this trick has been used badly, you cannot deny that it is one of the most unsolvable tactical coordination in the league so far.

David West went from the low post to the high post, and then Jack passed David West. In most cases, Jack passed the ball back to David West for an alley-oop, but Odom did not He dared to be careless and followed Jack conscientiously. Although he was blocked by David West, Odom continued to stick to Jack in the next second.

Just as Jack shook off Odom, he found that Bill Wharton was blocking him.

"Fucked! That's it!" Jack said

Seeing Odom from the corner of his eye, Jack was overjoyed, and instantly made the most correct reaction - pass the ball.

"Oh-ho! Jack was double-teamed, the basketball was passed out, David West received the basketball and went to the basket to kill, a standard pick-and-roll cooperation!"

Charles Barkley suddenly exclaimed in the live commentary seat, his tone changed from unbelievable to overjoyed, and continued to say:

"David's on the inside, what does he want to do! I really can't imagine!"

David West flew in the air, his muscles bulged involuntarily, his heart was beautiful, the depression just now turned into strength at this moment, he opened his mouth ferociously, and roared like a tiger:

"ah----"

Almost everyone was staring at David West intently, waiting for a gorgeous dunk to be born!
