NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 328 The Last Ball

In the next 4 minutes, the Lakers launched a wave of attacks against the Suns' back line, led by Kobe.

5投2中，6罚4中，科比再度砍下8分。

科比本节已经12投5中，6罚4中，拿下14分了。

In the 11th minute of the fourth quarter, with 60 seconds left in the game, 79:83, the Suns only led by 4 points.

Li Ba failed to complete the last block, and the steal did not happen again. Kobe controlled the ball and never scored inside.

In 4 minutes, he only scored 4 rebounds, reaching 26.

Sun ball right, Frank called a timeout.

He replaced Dazhi, who made 4 of 1 shots in these few points, with a mediocre shooting percentage, and he failed to guard Malone on the defensive end, so he replaced Marion.

"Play against the clock, we have the score advantage." Frank said to Barbosa.

The game restarts.

At Frank's behest, Barbosa gave Marion on the right wing with just six seconds left in 24 seconds.

Marion didn't play Malone in the low post, that's definitely not his strong point. He ran out of space, caught the ball at this time, made a fake shot, shook Malone a bit, and jumped up to make a mid-range shot.

"boom!"

Marion also consumed a lot of physical energy, his shooting percentage dropped, and the ball was missed.

No matter what, when he landed, his feet flickered, and he fell down with an ouch.

"Oh, the sun is really over, and Marion has also fallen. This is really a fight against the Spurs!" Zhang Lili shouted.

"In these two series, Marion played from the fourth position to the third position, carrying Duncan and Malone, and his physical fitness is not good, so he shouldn't be replaced at all." Yu Jia said.

The ball was not dead, bounced back to the right wing, and was caught by Malone.

Kobe immediately sprinted down, received the pass, and completed a dunk.

81:83, the Lakers trailed by only 2 points, with 35 seconds left in the game.

The Sun called one final short timeout.

Marbury also had an ankle just now, and now Marion has also sprained his ankle.

"Play against the clock and try to make one. If you don't score, the Hammers will try to control the rebounds and play a second offense. If there are no offensive rebounds, you must prevent the Lakers from playing a fast break."

After Frank finished speaking, he said to Barbosa and Joe Johnson: "Kobe is the one who the Lakers are going to leave soon. You must not stay too far away from him."

He arranged an offensive tactic, with Barbosa breaking through at the top of the arc, as big as a shot, doing a pick-and-roll at a high position, and waiting for a return pass.

If Li Ba has a chance after rushing in, give it to Li Ba.

The game restarts.

The Suns attacked, and Barbosa continued to press the time. At the 20th second of the offensive time, the others pulled away, and the big one came up to the high position to set him a pick-and-roll, and he began to break through.

Malone followed.

The low position on the left wing, Li Ba looked at Ma Long and immediately found that there was a problem with this pick-and-roll tactic.

Barbosa, a rookie, can avoid the switch of Malone, a pick-and-roll expert?

Immediately thinking about it, Li Ba suddenly started, got rid of O'Neill, and rushed over.

"Oh!"

After the pick-and-roll was completed, Barbosa ran into Malone head-on, lost his balance and lost control of the ball.

"It's over, the ball is lost!" Zhang Lili yelled anxiously.

"Oh hoo, the rookie made a mistake, Kobe got the ball, he's running fast... the rookie is chasing... the hammer behind him..."

The Lakers live commentator roared frantically.

Kobe quickly advanced all the way, crossed the center line, broke the top of the arc, went higher, and rushed into the paint.

Barbosa ran hard, chasing a head-to-head, harassing Kobe from time to time with his hands to prevent the latter from dunking with a jump.

One and a half steps behind them, Li Ba caught up.

Bryant advanced to the basket, and instead of a layup or dunk, he suddenly changed direction and pulled horizontally to the right.

Barbossa dashed off the baseline and into the crowd of reporters.

Li Ba had one and a half steps to react, and immediately forcibly slowed down and changed direction, rushing towards Kobe.

Kobe pulled horizontally, turned around again, and was about to make a layup.

But just after turning around, Li Ba suddenly stopped in front of him, startled him, and instinctively withdrew his hands, but it was too late.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba raised his right hand and lifted the ball in Kobe's hands into the air. Then he put his hands together and took the ball.

The ball is gone, Kobe is stupid!

"12?"

He had only this number in his head.

"It's over!"

Kobe fans all over the world sighed at this moment.

"what!!!!!!!!"

At this time, the scene reacted, everyone stood up, and there was a huge shout for Li Ba's steal.

"Congratulations Hammer, you got the 12th steal on Kobe's head, you became the No. 1 steal in a single game in the history of the league, and he became your background board."

The roar of the Suns' on-site commentator sounded in the American West Arena, which particularly made Kobe and Lakers fans angry.

"Congratulations Hammer, with 12 steals in a single game, you have become the No. 1 in the history of steals in a single game in the NBA!" Zhang Lili and Yu Jia shouted extremely excitedly.

"Thug, this is a thug, a thug!"

After reacting, Kobe became anxious, really anxious, and yelled at the bottom judge next to him, but the bottom judge ignored him.

At this time, the ball was in Battier's hands. He dribbled the ball and ran all over the court. Payton and Devon George were chasing him behind him and wanted to foul.

The time starts counting down, 7...6...5...

"Being intercepted, the first thing you do is foul Li Ba and send him to the free throw line. What do you want to argue with the referee?"

Looking at Kobe, Phil Jackson shook his head. Kobe like this is not yet fully mature, and O'Neal is still reliable.

Battier was finally caught, with 3.2 seconds left before he was forced to the free throw line.

"boom!"

The first goal was missed.

If the second goal is not scored, the Lakers still have a timeout, and the frontcourt serves, 3.2 seconds, if a three-pointer is made, it will be over, and Battier wiped off his sweat.

"It's 81:83 now, and there's only a 2-point gap. The second goal must be scored, or you'll be passive." Zhang Lili said nervously.

"Well, the Suns injured two generals, and they are the first and second scoring points. Even if they make it to G7, it is estimated that the possibility of making it to the Western Conference Finals is not very high. Let's treat it normally." Yu Jia shook his head and sighed.

The second ball, Battier throws.

"boom"

The ball hit the basket, as if hitting the hearts of all Suns fans and all Chinese fans.

Under the basket, five people huddled together in an instant, and the best positions were occupied by O'Neal and Malone in the front.

"boom!"

The ball hit the basket again, then paused and rolled into the basket.

"what!!!!"

The American West Arena cheered endlessly.

81:84, the Suns lead by 3 points.

The Lakers paused.

"This is only a three-pointer. Now the Lakers must have a three-pointer, and the Suns can defend purposefully." Zhang Reasonable said.

"They must be Kobe's shot, and you double-team him with the hammer. As big as it is, you guard O'Neill." Frank urged.

He replaced Barbosa and played veteran Howard Eisley, and the defense was better.

Then Posey came back on, replacing Joe Johnson.

"Kobe, do you want to shoot the last ball? The Hammers will definitely target you." Phil Jackson asked in front of the Lakers bench.

Kobe immediately thought of many memory fragments blocked by Li Ba in his mind, and instantly thought of a number, 1 block.

Only 1 block away, that bastard could have won the first playoff quadruple double in league history.

This is an absolute honor. He has become the background board of the 12th single-game steal, and he definitely does not want to be the background board of the first quadruple double in the playoffs.

"Phil, what do you mean?" he asked.

Phil Jackson nodded. In the last three seconds, he didn't want to give Li Ba any chance to complete a quadruple double. He said, "You take him away, and then Derek takes the shot."

"Me?" Fisher opened his mouth wide.

In case of being blocked, it is an absolute background board. His salary this year is only a fraction of Kobe's. Why should he be asked to do this job?

But he dared not say it, so he could only nod bitterly.

"Don't worry, Derek, I will arrange Carl for you, and he will protect you." Phil Jackson said.
