Chapter 209 The Moment of Life and Death
The sound of Staples' cheering became louder and louder, and the fans waved their arms tirelessly and cheered hoarsely.

At the last moment of the game, the cheers of the fans will be tens of decibels higher.In a basketball game, what you watch is a close match, and what you watch is this scene of soaring adrenaline.

The toughness of the Timberwolves almost shocked the Zen master.Zheng Ke is still on the court. He has not rested since the second half. The anxious situation has made the Timberwolves rely on Zheng Ke to an unprecedented height. Whitman dare not let Zheng Ke down at the moment. He is worried that once Zheng Ke After the end, the Timberwolves may collapse, but as long as Zheng Ke is on the court, even if he stands still, he can attract a lot of defense from the Lakers, just like the Lakers have not put Kobe off the court now.

Zheng Ke felt tired.

He put a lot of energy on the defensive end and the offensive end, and basically didn't take much rest. Now entering the second half of the fourth quarter, a sense of powerlessness surged from his limbs, whether it was strength, speed or bounce. Both have dropped a bit, and even Ariza's defense seems to have become less easy to handle.

"Huh~"

Zheng Ke lowered his head, put his hands on his knees, and breathed heavily.

"Shh!"

Billups made the second free throw. At this time, the game has entered the second half of the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves are 88 points behind 92 to 4. The confrontation between the two teams has become more and more intense.

At this point in the game, every shot and even every rebound is a very crucial factor. Not to mention the red-necked Anderson, even Odom, who has always been sloppy, is also staring at the big copper bell eyes at this moment. With 120% strength.

Fisher missed a three-pointer and the rebound was grabbed by Love.

"Skip the bottom line!" After halftime, Billups stretched out his hand to direct his teammates to move.

Zheng Kela went to the upper line to catch the ball, made a fake turn with his back, and then pulled the ball back with his right hand. The whole person took advantage of the situation and made a big turn, passing Ariza's defense.

The Lakers' penalty area was suddenly empty, which was a rare scene in the second half.Zheng Ke immediately seized the opportunity, took a big step, flew to the layup, and hit the board.

"Hey, guys, where's our defense?" Kobe was very dissatisfied with the defense this time, he looked at Ariza angrily, and made the young man feel terrified.

Odom took the initiative to admit his mistake at this time. He raised his left hand and patted his chest, saying: "Mine, mine, Kobe. I was a little slow in double-teaming. I should have stepped forward to defend this ball in advance. "

Several people exchanged a little bit in the backcourt, and then ran slowly to the frontcourt together. After halftime, "Old Fish" Fisher handed the ball to Kobe who fell to the low post and asked for the ball.

Zheng Ke immediately emptied Ariza and rushed towards Kobe at a speed of [-] yards.

Whether it's wingspan, speed, strength or jumping, Zheng Ke is at the top level of the NBA, and his defense effect is far beyond that of ordinary players.Kobe felt that Tathagata stretched out his five fingers, covering the sky and the earth in an instant, as if the lights of Staples had dimmed a lot.

"Dry!"

Kobe cursed secretly, took a big step with his right foot, kicked his leg, twisted his waist, and raised his hand.
A difficult backward jumper was like dancing a "ballet" in the air. The posture was elegant and standard, and the eyes were firm and sharp. Zheng Ke was slightly taken aback, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Shh!"

Basketball goes through the heart, 90 to 94.

After scoring the goal, Kobe was very excited. He tugged at the number 24 on his chest, showing a rare ferocious expression on his face.And the audience also cheered very cooperatively, which was also mixed with bursts of irregular "MVP" sounds.

Jessica Alba's small mouth was rounded, and she cheered regardless of her ladylike image: "Great, well done! This is how to attack!"

When the media commented on the Timberwolves, they always described them as fierce defense and sharp counterattack.When talking about the Timberwolves' team attack, they rely more on Zheng Ke's individual singles to solve the problem. This is not because the coach doesn't like to arrange complicated tactics, but it is not necessary.For Zheng Ke, whose personal ability is enough to beat 90.00% of players at the same position, the best tactic is actually to open up singles.

The premise is that others do not double-team. Once double-teamed, as it is now, Zheng Ke will pass the ball to Afflalo on the other side of the baseline, but the Lakers immediately switch defenses through rapid rotation and settle one by one.

Love then distributed it to Billups at the top of the arc. At this moment, Kobe stepped forward to defend Billups. Billups glanced at Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke ran out of the three-point line and pulled Billups away. space.Anderson in the penalty area consciously ran out, crossed his hands, and stood with his legs wide apart, a standard to the extreme pick-and-roll.

Billups dribbled past Anderson's right, but Bynum bared his teeth and blocked in front of Billups. Billups dribbled the ball and then dribbled two balls to the side, and Bynum let go Billups, at this moment Kobe moved in small steps, blocking in front of Billups like a shadow.

Billups made an emergency stop for a jumper, and was interfered by Kobe, and the basketball went out of the basket. 90 to 94.

Gasol made an inside hook, the basketball hit the inside edge of the backboard, bounced a few times, and fell into the basket. 90 to 96.

Zheng Ke made a jumper from outside the three-point line and hit it! 93 to 96.

The score gap was always about five points, but the time was decreasing minute by minute. Until the last minute and 20 seconds, the Timberwolves were still behind by 5 points.

The Timberwolves requested a timeout.

"We still have a chance. Let's look up at the time. There is still one minute and 20 seconds left. We need to increase the defensive pressure, and we can't let Kobe catch the basketball so easily!" Whitman roared loudly, holding a pen in one hand, Holding the tactical board in one hand, sweat was already oozing densely on his forehead: "Give the ball to Zheng. At the last moment, give the ball to Zheng. We will hit more inside to ensure the hit rate as much as possible. Players who have vacancies raise their hands Get up, we have to trust our teammates."

The entire audience has already stood up. At this moment, some fans who believe in Buddhism put their hands together, and some fans who believe in Christianity silently pray to God. The tension in the air is enough to make the heart speed up twice.

Love served from the sideline, and Billups came out and took the basketball.

He was not in a hurry to attack, he covered the ball with both hands, and looked up at the chronograph on the scene.

He was not in a hurry, and the Lakers players were even more in a hurry, because the Lakers were leading the field. Less time would be better for the Lakers. Lao Yu even stood directly on the three-point line and let go of Billups a few steps away.

At the moment of life and death, Zen Master guessed that Whitman must arrange for the Timberwolves to attack the inside. He told all the players of the Lakers to pay attention to shrinking the defense.

Love made a simple off-ball screen for Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke received the ball from Billups at the 45-degree three-point line. Go inside and kill.

really!

The eyes of the Lakers players brightened, and they began to shrink their defense in preparation. Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, and Ariza moved in small steps, faintly surrounding Zheng Ke inside.

"Dry!"

Zheng Ke's ability to read the defense is at the top level in the league. Seeing that the Lakers almost shrunk their defense, he quickly grabbed the basketball and swung his hands.

Zheng Ke was full of strength. This basketball was thrown like a cannonball, and it disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. When everyone looked again, Afflalo in the bottom corner had already taken the basketball.

"Vote!"

Zheng Ke roared, thinking in his heart: This kind of absolute vacancy must be seized!
The basketball was pulled out from Afflalo's nails, drew a wonderful arc in the air, and with a slow rotation, it hit the inner edge of the hoop, and then fell into the hoop neatly!
100 is better than 102!

The Lakers requested a timeout.

Zheng Ke watched the basketball fall into the hoop, and then he clenched his fists and swung his hands suddenly. He ran to Afflalo, hugged him, and stretched out his hands to ravage him on top of his head.The crowd surrounded Afflalo like stars holding the moon, and this nectar-like three-pointer made the Timberwolves see the dawn.

At 1 minute and 03 seconds, the Timberwolves were only two points behind!

Zen Master is now worried about who should give the ball to at the last moment. To be honest, the Timberwolves' inside defense in this game is really bad. According to his thinking, giving the ball to Gasol for inside singles should have the highest success rate.But would Kobe do it?The Zen master asked deeply in his heart, would a person like Jordan do this at the last moment?Will this Los Angeles fan be willing to see Kobe playing soy sauce at the last moment?
There is no such argument.

Many NBA stars are willing to talk about following the coach's tactical arrangements, but in fact, most of the time, it is the star himself who plays the role, and the players on the court will also hand over the ball to the head star. Salary and basic responsibility to enjoy the highest support from the fans.In fact, the shooting rate of superstars at the last moment is not as high as expected, but if they make a shot, they are superheroes!Like now.

"Kobe hit a two-pointer with an emergency stop jumper!" Johnson exclaimed: "At the critical moment, Kobe hit a long-range two-pointer, what a strong heart!"

"The Lakers' attack has almost used up 24 seconds, and the Timberwolves have only 40 seconds left. The Timberwolves have requested a timeout again. How will Randy (Whitman) arrange it?" Weber is not as excited as Johnson, but it is rare The volume was raised drastically, even their hosts could hardly restrain their emotions after watching the game during this period.

"The Timberwolves should choose a quick attack, so that if they score, they can avoid foul tactics." Johnson calmed down and analyzed slowly.

Webber said: "Yes, I think Coach Randy Whitman should arrange Zheng Ke's breakthrough tactics. His breakthrough is currently the biggest threat to the Lakers. If he does not double-team, he will attack the basket by himself. clip, you can divide the ball again, just now Afflalo scored a three-pointer just like this."
