Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 629 Michael, I still win!
The Bobcats had the most crucial attack in this game, and it was Rose who performed the final finishing task!
And, it was Rose's three-pointer!
This was definitely a development that no one expected!

It’s not that Rose can’t shoot three-pointers, nor that Rose’s three-point shooting is too bad, but, at this point in time, is it necessary for Rose to execute the final three-point tactics?
You know, there are many players on the court who are better at three-point shooting than Rose, such as Thabeet and Beasley.

There is also a player who is better at positioning than Rose, and that’s Beasley.

It can be said that if the three-point tactic is to be implemented, Beasley is the best choice no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, it’s not that Popovich didn’t have a tactic to defend against three-pointers, but that he didn’t defend against Rose’s three-pointers no matter what. It’s not that he didn’t defend, but that he didn’t defend against Rose from coming out to receive the ball and shooting a three-pointer in the last 24 seconds!

Rose's previous series of operations were all inward-looking. No one doubted that Rose was trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. No one would have thought that this time, the Bobcats' most difficult three-pointer tactic was designed for Rose!

In the end, Rose actually made the shot!

This man who was once the youngest MVP in NBA history, this super genius who once fell in the Chicago Bulls, actually announced his return to the top in this way in this finals!
In such a game, at such a moment, being able to become the executor of the Bobcats' offensive decision, and finally succeeding in the execution, there is no doubt that this will bring incredible and huge positive influence to Rose.

Ross himself is well aware of this.

So, after hitting the three-pointer, Rose excitedly ran to the sidelines and hugged his head coach tightly.

The legendary Coach D!

The magical coach who took only one season to train Rose to shoot three-pointers!

Rose's three-point shot was not just practiced, but he practiced it to the point where he could hit the most difficult three-pointer at such a critical moment in a game like this!

Rose, who has such three-point shooting ability, is comparable to Howard who had the three-point shooting ability back then. He is definitely at the level of a divine beast!

So, seeing Rose so excited at this time, everyone can understand his current mood. Anyone who is in Rose's place will feel the same way.

"Who would have thought that Rose, who left the Chicago Bulls in disgrace and joined the Bobcats, could continue to grow under Coach D's guidance?"

"Coach D changed the fate of Rose's career. Coach D brought back the bright rose for all NBA fans. After the rose came back, it became even brighter and more dazzling!!!"

At this moment, commentators, experts and fans all focused on Rose.

Rose's three-pointer just now was really important. Although the Bobcats have been chasing points very fiercely in the past period of time, momentum is momentum. Whether they can really catch up or even overtake is another matter.

Rose's super three-pointer allowed the Bobcats to overtake the score.

The Bobcats, who had been trailing for almost 47 minutes, actually turned the score around with Rose's three-pointer in the final moments.

This is a three-pointer that can decide the outcome of the game!

This three-pointer may even be the most important three-pointer in NBA history!

The best three points in the best game!
If Rose's title of the youngest MVP that year brought him into the eyes of NBA fans, and made all NBA fans know about this young Windy City Rose.

Then Rose's three-pointer was blown to the whole world by this wind.

In fact, Rose's performance this season has been very outstanding.

In the regular season and playoffs, Rose's performance is definitely among the top five of all Bobcats players this season.

However, most of the time, Rose is too low-key, not only off the court, but also in his performance on the court.

After coming to the Bobcats, Rose has never stolen the limelight, and he hasn't even had the idea of ​​stealing the limelight. This season, the Bobcats' point guard Tony Parker wanted to steal the limelight for a while, and it even attracted the attention of the entire NBA media, saying that Parker wanted to grab the regular season MVP.

Even if Parker doesn't compete for the MVP, there is still a competition with Leonard. With the help of his teammates, he beat Leonard in several games, which made Parker's presence quite strong in the star-studded Bobcats.

And in the finals, in Game 1 of the finals, GDP and Parker staged the final buzzer-beater together, making Parker, the backup point guard of the Bobcats, actually have a much higher presence than Rose, the starting point guard.

If you ask some non-Bobcats fans to name the Bobcats' point guard, the first person they think of will definitely not be Rose but Parker or even Kidd.

If Kobe played as a supporting player for the entire game, then Rose played as a supporting player for the entire season.

He has very strong breakthrough ability, but he almost never breaks through because he gives the space on the court to Jordan and O'Neal. If he breaks through, Jordan and O'Neal will have no space.

To this end, Rose began to practice off-ball and three-point shooting diligently, hoping to integrate into the team.

Once you have mastered three-point shooting and off-ball shooting, ordinary players would have wanted to show off on the court.

But, in the end, Rose did not deliberately try to show his abilities on the court.

Although he can play without the ball, Beasley is better at playing without the ball, so he gave all tactical priority to Beasley.

Now that he has the ability to shoot three-pointers, can he be a shooter?
However, he did not choose to be a spot shooter. Instead, he made a lot of ineffective moves on the court in the eyes of players like James who care about data. He wasted energy running without the ball and creating opportunities for role players like Ding Yanyuhang on the team to shoot from the spot. In the end, the data belonged to others. You had no points, no assists, and even the broadcast camera might not see you. Why bother?

This is not ineffective movement, this is not useless effort, then what is it?
However, Rose burned through the whole season without any regrets.

He is the MVP.

Moreover, in the Bobcats, Du Kang gave him a very high status.

He can definitely fight for something and grab something like Parker did.

But Ross fought for nothing, snatched nothing.

In fact, everyone can see what Ross is like.

Therefore, the two big guys of the team, Mike Beasley and Mike Jordan, both admire Rose the most.

The whole team knew that if Beasley and Jordan got angry because of a one-on-one duel, no one else would be able to persuade them, because the top and second-in-command of these two teams were afraid of Rose.

So, in the Bobcats, many players joked that the two Mikes ruled the Bobcats, and that Rose had a Mike in each hand.

If you are not a Bobcats player, you have no idea that Rose's name is among the highest-ranking players on the Bobcats.

In the Bobcats' attack just now, Jordan and Beasley had been playing supporting roles for Rose. From the beginning of the attack, Jordan and Beasley were working hard to cover for Rose's feint to the east and attack to the west.

Finally, this incredible three-pointer was made!

115 is better than 114!

With 37 seconds left in the game, Popovich and the Lakers chose to call a timeout.

“Boy, great job!!!”

After hugging Du Kang in an inappropriate manner, Rose, who was still crying with excitement, became the darling of all the Bobcats players.

O'Neal grabbed the first opportunity to hug and congratulate Rose. With a camera on his head, O'Neal was also live streaming for his fans online.

This time, O'Neal was definitely not trying to attract attention. His congratulations to Rose were absolutely sincere.

He likes this kind of young people, who are confident, selfless, and very responsible. The key is that he usually does nothing, and when he is blocked, he will not say that his teammates have done it.

If Wade looks so handsome compared to Kobe, then compared with his teammate Kobe, in O'Neal's eyes, Rose is simply an alternative in the NBA, a powerful little white flower.

No one would dislike such teammates.

Therefore, all the players on the Bobcats' bench were congratulating Rose. With this three-pointer, there was no doubt that Rose would once again enter the mainstream vision of the NBA.

For a player, this is very important.

You have to be in the mainstream vision, be selected for awards, and vote for all-stars before it’s your turn.

With the same performance, some people get nothing because they are not in the mainstream sight.

The NBA is so realistic, especially during the dark ages of the NBA led by James. The pace never stopped and the selection never lost.

Rose is willing to continue to contribute silently to the Bobcats, but as a head coach and a teammate, of course, he does not want to see Rose continue to contribute silently like this.

Of course, I hope Ross can get the reward he deserves.

In the Bobcats, the team atmosphere is quite good. Although the team has many veterans and experienced players, none of them bring bad NBA habits to the team.

Now the Bobcats have taken the initiative in the game and have gained the advantage, and are now leading the score.

It can be said that the Lakers’ situation is now very, very bad.

During the timeout, the Lakers players' faces were no longer as calm.

The current situation is that they must score in the next attack.

The Lakers did not lose any points after the timeout in this game.

But this time is different, just like it was different last time against the Bobcats, it is also different this time against the Lakers.

What's the difference?
The difference is that the Lakers have almost no other choice!

The Lakers' offense has basically been ruined.

Now the Lakers' offense can only rely on Kobe or McGrady.

The Bobcats' defense was outstanding.

Beasley pinched Antetokounmpo, and Duncan pinched Jokic.

In this situation, the Lakers failed to score on their last attack.

Kobe's failure to assist gave the Bobcats a chance to overtake the score. So, the current situation is that the Bobcats know that the Lakers' next attack will definitely be against Kobe or McGrady.

The Lakers' dilemma is that even if the Lakers know that the Bobcats know they are going to play against Kobe and McGrady, they can probably only play against Kobe and McGrady now.

"Coach D trusts Rose and is willing to let Rose take key shots at critical moments. Can Popovich trust other Lakers players? Dinwiddie, Ricky Lee, or even Ebanks?!"

"These people are all capable. If it were a normal game, Popovich would definitely be willing to trust them. But, at this moment, does Popovich have the courage to do so?!"

In the NBA, Popovich is considered a head coach who is very willing to trust role players.

Even before Coach D showed up, Popovich was the NBA's most willing head coach to trust role players.

His disciple Kerr also inherited this advantage. In addition, Kerr himself was a role player and had a natural liking for role players. Or maybe it was because of the bad taste of being bullied by Jordan back then, so Kerr sometimes likes to let star players contribute to role players.

Popovich certainly hasn't reached that level.

Although Popovich trusts role players, he has trained former role players such as Ginobili and Leonard Parker into star players.

However, Popovich trained these people to serve Duncan.

Kerr often lets star players like Curry serve role players.

Popovich has never lost his bottom line, which is that role players serve the star players.

As for Coach D, there are naturally no such things as star players and role players. The owner of a team belongs to everyone in the team.

Conceptually, of course, Kerr and Durant trust role players more than Popovich.

Now that Kobe and McGrady are able to attack, does Popovich really have the courage to let other role players attack and formulate tactics to let Kobe and McGrady pass the ball and play assist?

If it works, then of course it is invincible.

If it fails, Popovich will probably be spitted to death by fans and expert media all over the world.

And there is another question, that is, is Popovich willing to trust role players, Kobe and McGrady?

This team was led by Coach D. Coach D could let Ebanks make the final shot, and Kobe and McGrady had no objection.

But does Popovich have the qualifications to let Kobe and McGrady assist Ebanks?
Therefore, the Lakers' current problems are definitely not perfect.

"If we can drag the Lakers into the quagmire, there is a chance that this seemingly perfect team will have problems!"

"The key is whether you can drag the Lakers into the quagmire!"

"Coach D did it. In this game, Coach D successfully dragged the Lakers into the quagmire!"

"Now, it's the Lakers' turn to make a decision!!!"

What will the Lakers decide?

No one knows now.

However, on the Bobcats' bench, Du Kang did not arrange any tactics, but only said one sentence.

"Kobe, it must be Kobe!"

It must be Kobe who has not yet become the protagonist of this game!
This time the attack must be Kobe!
The pause ends.

Lakers offense.

“Oh my god, does it look like the Lakers are going to let Dinwiddie and Ebanks take the final shot?”

The Lakers' lineup on the court is Jokic, McGrady, Kobe, Dinwiddie and Ebanks.

Everyone can vote.

Dinwiddie replaced Antetokounmpo, obviously to play a role at the critical moment!
After the Lakers' offense started, they did create opportunities for Dinwiddie.

However, Popovich's face on the sidelines became increasingly ugly.

because!

He didn't fool Coach D!

He continued to create opportunities for Ebanks and Dinwiddie, but did not shift the Bobcats' defensive focus away from Kobe.

Dinwiddie and Ebanks also had defenders, but almost all five of the Bobcats' players were targeting Kobe.

Time is passing!
There are only 4 seconds left!
Finally, the ball hit Kobe's hands according to the tactics!

At this moment, the situation on the court made Popovich despair!

Thabeet, Beasley, Ding Yanyuhang, Jordan!
Four people surrounded Kobe who was without the ball and took the first step to the free throw line!

Obviously, they had already prepared their pockets for Kobe!!!
"It was intentional. The Lakers deliberately left this passing opportunity open!!!"

Except for Duncan who was still guarding the basket, Kobe took on four people alone this time!

Do you think you are desperate?
Kobe couldn't even pass the ball!
Behind him was Jordan, who had just given way on purpose.

On the left and right are Beasley and Ding Yanyuhang.

In front is Thabit.

"OMG!!!"

"Kobe didn't stop the ball!!!"

Kobe slammed into Tabit with the ball, then bounced back and used the force to push Jordan hard. Then, Kobe did not lose his balance and jumped sideways in the direction of Ding Yanyuhang!
Side jump!

drift!

Lean back! !
Tabit, Jordan, and Beasley all jumped up!

Ding Yanyuhang couldn't jump because it would be a foul if he jumped, so he could only raise his hands.

Thabeet, Jordan and Beasley's hands are getting madly close!

"Kobe just made a series of moves and got the chance to pass the ball!!! It's time to pass the ball!!!"

Kobe in the air, no pass.

At this moment, Kobe only has eyes for the basket!

"Missed the chance to pass the ball, what a pity, it's going to be blocked!!!"

however!
Jordan, Thabeet, Beasley, their hands were just a little bit off!

Jordan and his team were shocked to see the basketball so close.

Their encirclement was successful, and Coach D's arrangement was successful, but no matter what, they didn't expect Kobe to play like that!

Bumper cars?

This doesn't even drop the ball?
What level has this ball protection reached?

incredible!

It's really just a little bit off!

At this moment, Kobe in the air had already leaned back to the extreme!

He has tried his best!
"This goal is the best in my career!"

Shot!

Kobe almost lay down and threw the basketball in his hand!

After the shot, Kobe flew backwards!
Kobe finally lost his balance and saw the shocked Jordan, Thabeet and Beasley in the air, and a smile appeared on Kobe's face.

"I've waited for 20 years, 20 years! Michael, I finally won!"

Kobe, who fell to the ground, raised his hands!
The left hand is 2 and the right hand is 4!

24 is bigger than 23!
Kobe is celebrating early!
“Incredible!!!”

Almost immediately after Kobe raised his hands...

There was a brushing sound!
hit!

116 is better than 115!

Another 24-second buzzer!
With 13 seconds left in the game, the Lakers took the lead again! !

The Charlotte Arena is silent again!
