Chapter 498 Chapter 495: Same Tenacity, Different Ending (6.4K begging tickets)
Denver, Pepsi Center.

The Los Angeles Lakers trailed by 12 points at one point, and if they lost, they would have to play Game [-] against the Denver Nuggets.

Obviously, Kobe and Yao Ming do not want this to happen.

They can't wait and want to "reunite" with the Portland Trail Blazers, and they don't want to waste another game of physical fitness.

So in the final quarter, the Lakers, the two superstars inside and outside, showed their dominance.

And then here we are, with 32 seconds left in the game, and Kobe is holding the ball at the top of the key.

He was already drenched in sweat, but the 33-year-old veteran did not reveal the slightest bit of fatigue in his eyes.

On the contrary, his eyes are more determined than many young Nuggets players.

Wilson Chandler adjusted his position nervously with small steps. In the fourth quarter, he had already seen the horror of No. 24.

He can score from every angle and with all kinds of skills that you will never learn in your life.

He seems to be born to score.

His domineering will always make you feel breathless.

"In the last 32 seconds, Kobe was holding the ball on the outside! What will he do?" The on-site commentary was tense, and everyone knew that Kobe was killing people at critical moments.

Kobe took one look at Yao Ming and started dribbling.

He first moved his crotch to the left, and then suddenly accelerated to the right.

Wilson Chandler quickly moved over, he knew that it would be extremely dangerous to give Kobe any space.

At the moment Chandler moved laterally, Kobe made another big arc change!
The speed of chatting is not fast, after all, he is 33 years old.His dribbling isn't flashy either, and there are more young men in this league than he's flashy.

But because of the extremely superb rhythm, Kobe's three consecutive changes of direction still allowed him to successfully shake Chandler away.

"Damn it!" Wilson Chandler knew that he was fucked up.

He is about to be passed over!
If Kobe is allowed to overtake the score at the last moment, the Nuggets will really have to go home and mine.

Chatting broke through Chandler, chic and elegant.

Lakers fans all over the world are clenching their fists. Can this No. 24 kill the game?
People always say that there are no miracles in this world.But when Kobe held the ball at the last moment, everyone believed in miracles.

At this time, Kenyon Martin leaned towards Kobe, the Brazilian had already guarded the basket, and the Nuggets' defense shrank.

Kobe was not afraid, he still jumped up.

All eyes were on him, but his eyes only fell on one person.

"Kobe goes past Chandler and he jumps up for a layup. No, it's not a layup! It's a pass, Kobe just feints and he passes the ball to Yao Ming who cuts in!"

Yao Ming, 2-time NBA champion, 1-time Olympic champion, 1-time World Championship champion.

Another great player in the glorious history of the Lakers, a milestone figure in Chinese basketball

In the minds of the fans, Kobe is certainly great.

But everyone knows that without Yao Ming, there would be no two champions behind the Lakers.

Last summer, when the Great Wall of China announced that he would retire after this season, Los Angeles fans spontaneously organized to the entrance of the Staples Center, holding up the "Please stay" sign, begging the Eastern giant to continue to guard the restricted area of ​​Staples.

Although Yao Ming was reluctant, he knew that Los Angeles already had Kobe.

On the other side of the ocean, Yao Ming is needed even more.

But in any case, now, he is still a member of the Lakers.

His goal is still to win honor for the team.

He and Kobe agreed that in the future, a No. 11 jersey and a No. 24 jersey will be hung on the wall of honor in Staples.

Above their jerseys, there will be three championship pennants welcoming hand in hand.

Now, it's the last time!

After receiving Kobe's pass, Yao Ming took a big step, jumped and dunked.

The Brazilian didn't expect Kobe to pass the ball. In a panic, he turned to face Yao Ming, but it was of no avail.

The Chinese giant was already pressing towards him.

"Tomatoes!"

"Yao Ming received the basketball, he dunked it directly, and there was no response from outsiders.
Bang!Yao dunked the ball in, he almost killed the game, he almost killed the game!

Great combination, great coordination, great Los Angeles Lakers, they don't want to leave a glimmer of life for the Denver Nuggets!
From trailing by 12 points to overtaking at the critical moment, I would say this is definitely the greatest fourth-quarter game ever played by a drug-addicted team! "

Amidst the cheers of the commentator, Yao Ming excitedly raised his arms and shouted loudly.

Kobe smiled and pointed to Yao Ming.There are not many people who make Kobe willing to hand over the ball at a critical moment, and Yao Ming is one of them.

In a trance, Kobe felt as if he had returned to 11 years ago.

In Game 2000 of the 7 Western Conference Finals, the Lakers fell behind by 16 points in the fourth quarter.

If they can't win, the Lakers won't be able to make it to the Finals.

Then, No. 8 Kobe shook Pippen from outside the three-point line, and after breaking through, he threw the ball high.

From the side, the Big Mac struck, leaping into the air as if with wings, catching the basketball, hitting Mount Tai on top, and dunking in the air.

Everything is over, the noise gradually dies away, and everything returns to calm.

Kobe didn't expect that he would think of that bastard Shaq at this moment.

But he has to admit that the ball just now is really too similar to the one 11 years ago.

11 years ago, when he was a fledgling, he followed Shaq back and forth.

11 years later, he became the master of Staples and created brilliance with another giant.

Kobe couldn't help clenching his teeth. The cooperation 11 years ago opened the era of the Lakers' three consecutive championships.

With this cooperation 11 years later, let Kobe make a perfect summary of the era between himself and Yao Ming!
The cooperation between Yao Ming and Kobe made the Lakers lead the Nuggets by 2 points at the critical moment.

The key ball, this is the weakness of the Nuggets, because they don't have the kind of people who can make the final decision.

At this time, George Karl probably will miss Carmelo Anthony, whom he once thought was unteachable, very much.

Sure enough, in the last round, Gallinari's three-pointer was knocked out under Artest's tight bite.

At the moment when the basketball hit the iron, the buzzer sounded throughout the audience, and Yao Ming and Kobe ran towards each other, hugging each other tightly.

"We won another round, Yao! Just had a nice dunk!"

"Well, next, we have to deal with the Trail Blazers!" Yao Ming looked up and looked at the score of the game.

102 to 100, so risky!
Today, the Nuggets are in excellent form and once exploded outside the three-point line.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, most people thought the Lakers had to go back to Staples for Game [-].

But who could have imagined that the fourth quarter would change dramatically.

Wayne looked at the two guys embracing in the middle of the court, and couldn't help getting goose bumps all over his body.

so scary~
To be honest, in this year's playoffs, it was obvious that Naka was struggling a bit.

He is no longer as free as he was a few years ago. Just that ball, if it were two years ago, he could score without passing the ball.

Isn't it just pulling the bar twice in the air to avoid the block, can this be a problem?
But once the athlete passed 30, his physical condition generally declined as fast as AE86's Xiaqiu Mingshan.

It's the same every year.

Of course, it is not ruled out that very few athletes who are over 30 years old are not like AE86, but like Mercedes-Benz.

Not only does it not slide fast, but it can also climb trees.

Duncan: Shut up!

Although the decline of chatter is visible to the naked eye, the hard work shown by the entire Lakers in the playoffs is actually the strongest in the past.

During the regular season, the Blazers played the Lakers and only won once.

It's because no matter how you fight, the opponent can't kill you!

It stands to reason that the Lakers team has already won two championships, so there will be some situations such as slack, lack of energy, and low fighting spirit.

The 11-year Lakers in the original history and the Heat after two consecutive championships have such problems.

But the Lakers just went the other way.

All this is because Yao Ming said last summer that this is his last season.

Therefore, all Lakers players hope to seize the last chance and leave the most beautiful ending.

The fighting spirit of this team is no less than that of the Mavericks next door.

Don't underestimate the mysterious and mysterious things like fighting spirit, it can really affect the game.

Just like the southerners rely on their righteousness to survive the winter, Mosaic in the 94-95 season was able to win the championship, and many times it really relied on a fighting spirit.

They were nearly killed countless times, but miraculously survived in the end.

If you want to say that the psychological quality is almost inferior, it is really not enough to have the ability.

The phrase "don't underestimate the heart of a man who has tasted the brains" really sums it up well.

So it seems
Chairman Yao can do it, you can handle it!
Today, the Lakers won another game with amazing willpower.

If it were the Lakers who had no fighting spirit in the original history, today's reversal would be impossible.

With so much behind, I might have given up a long time ago.

Wayne took a deep breath, the second round of the playoffs has not yet started, but he can already imagine how difficult it is.

This time the Lakers are the Lakers whose personal ability has declined, but the team's fighting spirit is MAX.

Torture people.

Thinking about it this way, I really miss the time when I played the playoffs with Du Xiaoshuai.

The moment of death is coming again.

As expected, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 4-0.

The Trail Blazers and Lakers also became the only two teams in the West that swept their opponents 4-0 and advanced to the second round.

In the upper half of the west, the situation is not so clear.

On the Spurs side, today they were tortured by the Grizzlies 104 to 86, and the current total score is already 3 to 1.

That's right, the Grizzlies, the eighth in the West, are 3-1 to the Spurs, the No. 61 in the West with [-] wins.

God said, let there be light, and there was light.

Wayne said that there must be a black eight, so there are two bears.

They are all gods.

At the end of the game, the old thief's eyes were dull.

At this time, he is not like the wise master Popovich, but more like a simple old man who has not had a good rest.

3 to 1, although it is not the end, but it is already the neck of the knife.

It is said that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. No matter how high the old thief's expectations were before, how desperate he is now.

I worked so hard to get No. [-] in the Western Conference
Just to be a joke?
Wayne just feels lucky, the damn Lakers are only one game away from being No. [-] in the Western Conference!
so close.

An opponent like the Grizzlies should be left to the old thief to enjoy slowly.

In the East, the 62-win Bulls also became the first team to advance.

Rose stepped on Anthony's body and walked out. He deserved to be the 03 killer of the new era.

Even Maggie, director of the Los Angeles Warfare Bureau, only dared to say that Knicks fans should be ready to win the championship in two or three years, but he dared not say what the Knicks can do this year.

Because this year's Knicks are really bad.

There is no need to say much about Angua's ability, but the Knicks' role players are hard to describe.

Coupled with the fact that Stoudemire and Flounder were injured one after another, it was really difficult for Angua with a disabled Knicks to compete with the Bulls in the iron barrel.

Shortly after the Bulls beat the Knicks 4-0, Mousse's Big Three also left home.

4 to 0 abuse of the Eagles, easy.

After all, the Eagles are just an ordinary playoff team, and they can't compete with the Heat, which has guaranteed seven championships.

Although the Heat don't have any system now, talent alone is more than enough to beat the Eagles.

At present, there are two teams in both East and West.

Speculation about the championship also intensified.

In the East, most people are unanimously optimistic about the Heat.

Although the Heat are now the public enemy of the whole people, it is precisely because they are strong enough that they are the public enemy of the whole people.

But on the west side, even the most confident experts usually dare not speculate on the result.

Don't you see that the Spurs were defeated by the Grizzlies 3 to 1, the underdog Mavericks have also pushed the Warriors into a corner, and the high-profile Thunder failed to win a game.

As for the situation in the West this year, who would dare to predict it.

If you say a wrong sentence, your face will be swollen every minute.

Mousse himself is also very confident. At the press conference after sweeping the Eagles 4-0, he was calm and composed, talking and laughing with reporters freely.

"We are ready to continue to hit the next round, and the road will definitely not be peaceful.

However, as long as we all work together, nothing is impossible. "

Mousse is in a good mood. Although he has abused food in the Cavaliers before, but this time he abused food in the heat, it feels really different.

Before he could exert his full strength, the opponent had already fallen.

Mousse feels that according to the current strength and state of the Heat, there must be no problem in reaching the finals.

The Chicago Bulls are strong, but they're eccentric.

The Bulls' offense is so bad, Thibodeau doesn't understand offense at all.

In the playoffs, teams that are too partial can't go far.

Don't talk about the Pistons at the beginning of the century, that Pistons are more offensive than this Bulls.

Mousse is so happy, with this strength, he is recommended to the finals!
Eh?
Has anyone said that before?

The last guy who said so rallied the next day at the ATT Center to make the series 3-2, but the Grizzlies still held match point.

At this point in the game, even if you win, it's meaningless.

Because the Spurs have been worn out by the Grizzlies.

Even if they finally come back, the Spurs have already lost the advantage of being the number one in the Western Conference.

He is no easier than the Mavericks and Warriors who are fourth and fifth.

The first and eighth hit this point, even if they have lost.

On the other hand, Warriors fans want to see Paul perform miracles again.

The winner of this game will get the match point, so the importance of today's game is self-evident.

Paul's lore in the last game was really classic, but Dirk used a 37-point performance to completely end the Warriors.

Paul forced out his strongest self in the last game, but he also forced out the strongest Dirk.

The high-spirited Lakers swept the Nuggets as expected.

But when the scrappy Warriors meet the equally scrappy Mavericks, the ending may not be so good.

In the sixth game, the game returned to the Oracle Arena.

Paul had to give it a go today, and it would be possible to realize his desire to meet Wayne in the Western Conference Finals.

The Warriors double-teamed Dirk today, and the world is starting to see that something isn't quite right this year for this playoff jerk.

It's like an honest person who has always been in the company. You admit that he is capable, but you don't think he can do much.

Then, in this year's playoffs, this honest man suddenly dropped his glasses and told everyone: "I just want to kill you, or be killed by you."

Paul fought very hard this time, falling down again and again, and fighting hand-to-hand again and again is commonplace.

Just in the first round, desperate has become the norm.

Howard also worked very hard, wearing Adidas double armguards, and Warcraft elbowed left and right to escort Paoer.

Once Howard starts waving his elbows, you know he's not a happy beast, he's a serious beast.

Dirk was restricted today, and Pao Er and Howard played so hard again, Paul felt that this game must be won no matter what.

But Terry and Peja told them with consecutive three-pointers: "The Silver Horn King said, you can't take this game away."

"Jason Terry, scored again, the fifth consecutive three-pointer, God! Who can stop him!"

"Peja Stojakovic, made a three-pointer. Still! Peja hasn't missed a three-pointer today!"

Terry and Peja played left and right, making three-pointers, and they have reached the point of lawlessness.

Paul looked at the unreasonable three-pointers and was very desperate.

Obviously you've worked so hard, you've obviously worked so hard.
No, my fate is up to me!

In the unreasonable three-point rain of Terry and Peja, Paul is still fighting.

He fell into the auditorium, he hit the basketball hoop, and he was knocked to the ground by the boxing champion time and time again.

Wayne looked very worried, for fear that there would be another problem with the gun mount.

Let me tell you, Pao'er, I managed to maintain your gun mount so well, you can't waste it!
Your cannon mount is not only yours, but also my Godway's!

Falling down again and again, getting up again, and falling down again.

You can see Paul's unyielding resistance to fate.

Heart-wrenching and burning.

But all of this was brutally cut off in the 8th minute of the fourth quarter with a "snap".

In the 8th minute of the fourth quarter, Paul faced Kidd's defense and broke through.

As soon as he rushed out, the inhuman-looking Marion appeared.

Marion's defense was so fast that Pao'er didn't notice it.

But at this time, he could no longer stop the car.

Just now the ejection started too fast, now I can only choose to rush in!

Paul then charged at Marion, and, in such a situation, the cannon slammed headfirst into Marion's shoulder.

"Oh!"

In the noisy basketball court, a muffled sound of bones hitting bones could be heard. At that moment, Paul seemed like a doll with a power cut off, and his whole body went limp.

"Damn it!" Wayne stood up, subconsciously wanting to go up to check the situation, but only when he stood up did he realize that they are now thousands of miles apart.

"Paul fell, his forehead hit Marion's shoulder! Paul looked in pain and couldn't get up for a long time!"

The cheers in the Oracle Arena stopped abruptly, everyone covered their chests with their hands, and everyone's hearts were beating wildly.

Paul was lying on the ground, the severe pain in his neck made him gnash his teeth.

He felt that the entire arena was spinning, and he knew immediately that he must have been knocked out and concussed.

Forehead hit shoulder, still at such a fast speed.

Paul's injury was no small feat.

"Chris, Chris!" Howard ran up to check Paul's situation.

Paul tried to grab Howard's forearm and stand up, but he found that.
I can't control my limbs!

Dizzy, Paul has actually completely fainted.

If it is not supported by a strong will, he may lose his final consciousness.

Now he can only lie on the ground with his eyes open, that's all.

That blow just now was similar to being knocked out by a boxer.

"Fuck! Damn it! Idiot!" Wayne anxiously walked back and forth.

Marion didn't intentionally hurt Paul with this ball, it was purely a court accident.

This is even more annoying.

Wayne couldn't even find anyone to vent to.

Paul was still lying on the ground, motionless, with only one pair of eyes staring.

He wanted to call out to Howard to pull himself up.They still have a chance, but it's only 11 points, and they can still play hard!
But he could only falter and make a sound that people could not understand. Now he can raise his hand slightly, but just as he raised his hand, the team doctor broke into his field of vision.

"God, stretcher, stretcher, hurry up! Hold his neck, he almost passed out, God! God knows how he held it!"

"Stretcher?" Pao'er vaguely heard what the team doctor said.

"No, I can't leave the game, I still have to play! We are almost winning, we are almost winning! It is only 11 points away. If I leave now... this season will never come back!"

Paul panicked, he couldn't accept the result that he was going to be eliminated in the first round.

Brother Wei is still waiting for me, I can't.
The weak Paul couldn't even shout out, and could only allow his teammates to exaggerately fix him on the stretcher.

"It looked like Paul was hurt badly, but hopefully he's okay. He's a real fighter, always has been."

"Fuck, don't!" Pao'er looked at the ceiling, tears rolling in his eyes.

His neck is still aching, but all he can feel now is his heart aching.

"Chris!" Howard came up to look at Paul for the last time. Paul couldn't speak. In the end, he could only lie on the stretcher, raised his arm slightly, and gave Howard a thumbs up.

Then, just like that, last season's MVP Chris Paul, Out!

Paul was pushed down, unable to hold back his tears as he was shoved into the tunnel, but the noise around him stopped abruptly.

It's over, it's over.

Brother Wei, I'm sorry, I can't come
"No one could have imagined that the first round of the playoffs would be so tragic. There were 4 minutes left in the game, and the Warriors were 11 points behind. Now, they have no Love, no Chris Paul
They're in hell, ladies and gentlemen. "

Seeing this, Wayne turned off the TV, took a deep breath, and looked at the sky.

Although I have long been mentally prepared, but.
Damn, I got sand in my eyes.

Without Paul, Howard can't support himself, and the whole team seems to be disbanded in an instant.

The moment Paul was carried out, the ending was actually doomed.

122 to 98, the Mavericks slaughtered the Warriors at Oracle Arena.

With a total score of 4 to 2, they advanced to the Western Conference semifinals!

Paul fought to the stretcher, but still could not change the Mavericks terrorist offensive.

This horror is not a metaphor.

How fierce is the Mavericks' firepower today?
Terry was 10 of 9 from beyond the arc and Peja was 6 of 6 from beyond the arc.

The two backup guards scored 53 points together. It is impossible to find a second player in the league with such firepower.

Pao'er has fought to the point where he can't even speak. However, the playoffs are always based on strength.

You say you are desperate enough?Who doesn't work hard?
Today, a team tragically fell to the Mavericks.

But Wayne knew it wouldn't be the last one.
