I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 53 Against the Red Raiders (8)

The 2004-05 season was the first year after the disintegration of the OK combination. Kobe Bryant missed 16 games due to injury, and the Lakers failed to make the playoffs.

On April 2005, 4, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Dallas Mavericks at home. The result has long lost meaning to the rankings. Fans flocked to the Staples Center just to watch Kobe Bryant's last home performance of the season.

全场科比15中9，三分9中5砍下33分7篮板9助攻，不过整体实力更胜一筹的达拉斯小牛队始终处于领先并客场取胜。

The most exciting moment of the game came in the final quarter. Kobe singled out Jason Terry with the ball in the left corner. After a left-handed three-pointer, the ball flew into the basket with precision.

The Lakers' home court was boiling, and even the Mavericks owner Cuban couldn't help standing up and applauding for Kobe's magical goal.

In front of him, Jiang Mu shot normally with his right hand at first, but Turner's height and long arms seemed to completely cover the track of Jiang Mu's right hand shot.

Jiang Mu's jump shot was very high, and his right-hand shooting posture was changed to his left hand, and he shot the ball with his body moving laterally at a certain angle to the left.

The whistle sounded at the end of halftime, and the basketball hit the net.

Aurora team members stepped forward to pull up Jiang Mu who had fallen outside the field.

"Really shot a 3-pointer with your left hand? I thought you were bragging."

Jiang Mu laughed.

"Brother, I can always do what I say!"

The members of the Aurora team were taken aback for a moment, and found that this was really the case.

Jiang Mu scored 22 points in the first half, so the 50 points he said before the game must be fulfilled. No one in the Aurora team doubts this.

All the people who watched the game knew very well that Jiang Mu was really not talking big.

Jiang Mu's left-handed three-pointer at the buzzer before halftime made the score 51:41, and the Aurora still led the Red Raiders by double digits.

The members of the Aurora team are very confident. They really did not expect that Jiang Mu, who has liberated the score, is so terrifying. Two teams that had to look up to before have been trampled under their feet, and now this old strong team seems to be becoming one. The Auroras are a stepping stone to the Elite 8.

The members of the Aurora team looked at Jiang Mu, who had been chatting with Tommy about the left-handed three-pointer just now, and he didn't seem to be tired.

"Brother said three points with the left hand must be three points with the left hand, did you see it just now?"

"Yeah, I'll believe whatever brother says!"

"That's right, do you believe that I can throw a ball from the crotch in a while?"

"Brother, this is a bit"

That doesn't seem to be the case with the Red Raiders on the other side.

"This kid seems to have appeared suddenly, where did he come from?"

"It's useless to ask this now. The immediate goal is to guard against him. His three-pointer threat is too great. In fact, there is no big problem with our offense. The main thing is that the kid can respond every time we score. It's hard to deal with."

As a very experienced coach, Kalam still wanted to break his head at this time. There is really no good way now.

"Everyone saw that the first half was over, and it was different from what everyone expected before the game. At present, the Aurora team, which was generally underestimated before the game, led by 10 points. It seems that this game is completely settled for Aurora. The fact that the Red Raiders are the biggest dark horse this year, Mr. Bill, can you analyze what the Red Raiders should do if they want to reverse this situation in the second half?"

"Jiang Mu's scoring ability on the 8th of the Aurora team broke out in this game, which surprised everyone. The Red Raiders did not find a good way to limit him in the first half, and Jiang's strength directly caused The two starting guards of the Red Raiders are off the field and the other is in a slump. The importance of the backcourt is self-evident. Even if I say it, I'm afraid I can't think of a better way. Maybe I can only pray that Jiang feels bad."

"But at present, it seems that No. 8 Jiang's breakthrough is difficult to limit. Although he seldom scores directly after breaking through, he divides the ball in a timely and effective manner. Even if the hand feeling declines, I am afraid that Jiang's role cannot be underestimated."

The 15-minute break in midfield passed quickly, which gave some recovery to the players who had consumed a lot of energy in the first half.

Aurora's possession of the ball.

The ball passed to Connor in the bottom corner after several hand changes. Connor tricked Hamilton with a fake move and then jumped up to make a long two-pointer, but unfortunately he didn't make it.

Jiang Mu plunged into the inside line and flicked the ball out, and the ball returned to Connor's hands.

Connor made another shot.

Still missed.

Connor was a little annoyed.

Turner's fake action after taking the ball did not deceive Moody, but a very quick turn after directly releasing the ball still deceived Moody behind him.

Turner hit a hook and scored his 16th point of the game.

51: 43.

Jiang Mu slowly dribbled the ball to the front court. After a halftime break, Jackson seemed to have forgotten Jiang Mu's important method of scoring. At the moment Richardson picked and rolled, Jiang Mu made another three-pointer without warning.

Jackson quickly turned around to watch the ball, and the small players of the Aurora team were ready to return to defense.

At 54:43, the point difference came to 11 points again.

"I don't know if you have noticed that the other members of the Aurora team behaved very differently the moment Jiang Mu made a shot. Richardson and Connergan directly retreated to the backcourt, leaving only Moody and Notka It seems that if you grab rebounds, you are making money, and if you can’t grab rebounds, it doesn’t matter.”

"Mr. Bill means that the Aurora team has absolute confidence in Jiang Mu?"

"I'm not sure, but if I had such a teammate, maybe I would feel comfortable letting him shoot."

In many cases, the good state cannot last. The other players of the Aurora team seem to feel a little cold, but the Red Raiders have maintained stability.

Scoring efficiency has not exploded, but it has not declined either.

Especially the strong play of inside players headed by Turner, or the breakthrough of small forward Hamilton going straight into the inside, is still lethal.

Jiang Mu made another three-pointer, and under Jackson's conscious defense, Jiang Mu missed two consecutive three-pointers.

When Jiang Mu missed the third three-pointer, the Red Raiders made consecutive inside shots.

In the 8th minute of the second half, the score came to 63:59, and the Aurora team only led by 4 points.

Turner had unknowingly scored 22 points, which was a little less than Jiang Mu's 30 points, but it seemed that the Red Raiders were more balanced at this time.

For the Aurora team, Jiang Mu scored 30 points, Richardson scored 14 points, and Connor scored 13 points. However, the two inside players only scored 4 points and 2 points respectively. Yadingjie and Erwan, who came off the bench, did not score.

The 4-point difference boosted the morale of the Red Raiders, and the fans of the Red Raiders also shouted enthusiastically.

Defense!Defense!
"Mr. Bill, the Aurora team is temporarily in a scoring drought. Jiang Mu has missed three consecutive three-pointers."

"Indeed! At this time, it's time to change your thinking. Jiang Mu is fast and has a strong breakthrough ability. The next step is to fight inside."

Just when the Red Raiders thought the same way, Jiang Mu pretended to break through, but suddenly got up and shot another three-pointer.

brush!
Everyone's mouths opened wide again.
