I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 279
The Lakers were cornered.

They were at home and trailed by 8 points after the first three quarters!
The time left for them to correct their mistakes is only 12 minutes in the last quarter.

The fourth quarter begins.

As soon as he came up, Kobe stood up to Dorsey, turned over and hit a jumper.

He seemed to announce with this ball that he was back again.

Even though Dorsey has improved his perimeter defensive ability through the system, he still cannot completely limit Kobe.

After adapting to Dorsey's defense, Kobe can still score, but the effort and cost of each ball is greater.

Bryant's recovery and the Lakers' counterattack were all expected by the Rockets.

All they can do is try to slow down the tempo as much as possible, hit every ball steadily, and don't let the opponent get up.

Under the guidance of this phalanx, McGrady slowly dribbled forward, and the first thing to ensure was not to make mistakes.

When he safely dribbled the ball across half court, he hit the ball inside Yao Ming's hands.

Adelman's Princeton system is essentially center-centered, with other players supporting it.It's just that Dayao's mobility, passing ability and vision are not quite suitable for Princeton's requirements; on the other hand, the Rockets' point guard problem has always affected the team's offense, or the guard's passing ability is insufficient , the ball cannot be handed over to Yao Ming smoothly, or the guards are not aware enough to pass the ball, and Xiaobu often drags the whole team to play.

But now, with McGrady coming to this position, the Rockets finally have a reliable point guard who can pass the ball into Yao Ming's hands in a timely and accurate manner.

As soon as Dayao received the ball, he immediately fell into the double-teaming of Gasol and Bynum.

Dayao could neither turn around nor observe, so he could only return the ball to McGrady the same way.

McGrady catches the ball and immediately pulls up a jumper and hits a three-pointer!
In these few games, the full trust of the coach and teammates has allowed him to gradually regain his form.

The point difference has been widened to 9 points!
"Derek, stick tighter, don't give him a chance to shoot!" Phil Jackson yelled anxiously from the sidelines, and he couldn't see the shadow of the immobile "Zen Master" at all.

Fisher raised his hand to signal that it was his fault. As a seasoned veteran, he is more familiar with the crisis on the field than he is with Barnes' wife.

The Lakers attacked again, Kobe broke through, and Dorsey was close to him. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Kobe gave the ball to Odom, and Odom quickly transferred the ball to Fisher.

Fisher hit a jumper and the point difference narrowed to 7 points.

The Rockets attacked, and McGrady passed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming was flanked again and returned the ball to McGrady. McGrady made a scalpel-like direct pass and hit Scola at the basket.

Scola made an open layup, but Odom suddenly burst out from behind and blocked the must-have goal.

Fisher took the ball for a fast break, switched hands and dribbled while moving, dodged McGrady, broke through to the basket, attracted Yao Ming's defense, and crossed Kobe in time.

Kobe jumped high and dunked.

The point difference narrowed to 5 points.

The Rockets attacked again, and this time the Lakers took a defensive approach against Yao Ming. McGrady couldn't pass the ball, and he was tightly entangled by Fisher and couldn't get rid of it.

Dorsey made a big circle, ran out of position to respond, and the ball came into his hands.

He began to hit Kobe with his tonnage back, and after using his back to push out the gap, he turned around and broke through to the basket.

Dorsey took off and dunked against Bynum who was coming over from the defense.

A beautiful buckle, score!
At the same time caused Bynum's foul.

In the noise made by the fans in the audience, Dorsey scored the ball under pressure and scored 2+1, leading again by 8 points!
Kobe then fought back, also playing back. Although Kobe's tonnage could not hit Dorsey, but relying on his flexible feet, he turned around and scored with a jumper, and the point difference was narrowed to 6 points.

The Rockets attacked. After repeated passes from inside and outside, the ball came to Ci Shiping outside the baseline three-point line. Ci Shiping made a three-pointer and the ball bounced out of the frame. Forced a second shot, but missed, and was grabbed by Gasol for a defensive rebound.

The Lakers launched a quick counterattack, Kobe pulled the side to attract defensive attention, Fisher was talking about being a teenager, and actually ran all the way, using his speed to throw away the inconvenient McGrady, and scored in the middle of the road.The point difference was narrowed to 4 points!
The Rockets attacked again and played steadily. Scola pulled away Gasol and Yao Ming got a 1-on-1 chance to singles Bynum.A mid-range turnaround jumper hit.The point difference has reached 6 points again.

……

In this way, the two sides came and went, the score was chased by each other, and the fight was extremely fierce.

When the difference is the largest.At one point it was stretched to 9 points, and the minimum difference was only 2 points!
Make the gaming company too busy.The handicap handicap is adjusted with almost every attack of the two sides.

The competition was going on intensely and fiercely, and time passed unconsciously.

After playing, people suddenly realized that the game time had reached the last minute, and the point difference was still 1 points away.

The Rockets attack.

Now their purpose is, as slow as they can slow down the rhythm.

It's better to wait until the last second to shoot!
The Lakers have even begun to consider preparing to use foul tactics.

Fouls are a double-edged sword. Normally, it means killing [-] enemies and harming yourself by [-].

Unless it is a last resort, the Lakers will not use it, but they cannot let the Rockets drag on blindly.According to such a slow rhythm, one minute is enough for the two sides to attack three times at most.

Seeing that the time was less than 1 minute, the Lakers decided to take a gamble.

Suddenly began to flank McGrady with the ball.

If he was still at his peak, McGrady would certainly not be afraid of the opponent's pincer attack, but now he has been out of battle for a long time after all, and his physical fitness has reached its limit.

He tried his best to protect the ball so that he didn't lose the ball, but he was also forced to stop dribbling. He was eagerly looking for a support point.

Under the attack, he saw Dorsey running out to meet him, and quickly passed the ball.

But suddenly, a person was killed halfway, and it was Kobe who had been ambushing for a long time, and cut the ball halfway.

Kobe steals the ball and runs to the basket, and Dorsey chases desperately.

Dorsey is faster than Kobe, jumps higher than Kobe, and has advantages in height and strength. This ball may be defended!
But Kobe's experience is even more sophisticated. After entering the three-point line, he suddenly stopped. Dorsey ran too fast and couldn't stop the car. Although his brain knew that Guy stopped suddenly, his body rushed out under the influence of inertia.

"呵~" Dorsey knelt down in front of Kobe.

And Kobe has jumped high and shot a jumper.

Go in!

Only 2 points left!

This classic scene was captured by the reporters with the camera. Dorsey knelt down in front of the winner like a loser, while the winner, Kobe, raised his bow and arrow and was in high spirits.

Dorsey cursed inwardly: It's broken, it's a shame!

He is very sure that if the Rockets lose, the headlines on the covers of major sports newspapers and magazines tomorrow must be this photo of himself kneeling in front of Kobe.

It is very likely that in the future, like Russell of the Jazz, he will be repeatedly pulled out of Jordan's personal biography to flog his corpse, but Jordan will be replaced by Kobe.

Therefore, if you want not to be stigmatized for thousands of years, you must win this game!
