Chapter 202 Black Mamba

Just when the scores of the two teams increased rapidly, and as the game time passed, the Spurs' winning margin gradually expanded.Under the cover of the inner twin towers, the black mamba of the Lakers quietly got a rest.

Just when the Spurs were lax because of their huge advantage and the Lakers temporarily focused on the inside.The black mamba, the world-renowned venomous snake, showed its deadly fangs with 4 minutes left in the third quarter.

Still walking through the half court slowly, Kobe settled on the left back basket inside the three-pointer, with his right arm habitually touching Leonard, raised his head slightly, and observed the situation on the court.

Gasol stood on the right side, reached out to catch Blake's pass, and when he was about to hang to the inside line, he found that the left side of the entire half was very spacious.

Glancing at Kobe, with the tacit understanding between Gasol and Kobe, it was just an eye contact, and he stretched out his arm to pass the ball straight.

Are you going to attack again?!

Seeing Kobe grabbing the basketball with one hand in his left hand, Leonard immediately raised his attention, licked his lips, opened his arms slightly, and was always ready to face Kobe's breakthrough.

Bang!
Dribbling the ball with his left hand, Kobe leaned on Leonard and pushed in. When he was about to push into the penalty area, his eyes saw Splitter, meaning he was coming to defend.

Immediately, with his right foot as the axis, Kobe turned directly to the bottom line, completely denying Splitter a chance to defend.The body had just turned over, Kobe took off without any pause.

Facing Leonard who also jumped up, Kobe habitually added a little backward in the air.His eyes were fixed on the front, even though the basket behind him was replaced by Leonard's palm, he still didn't shift his gaze.

When his body reached the highest point, Kobe gently sent the ball out through the strength of his wrist.The basketball flew over Leonard's finger, crossed a very high arc, and finally fell into the basket.

Under the basketball hoop, Parks leaned on the camera and clearly watched Kobe's complete set of technical moves, and immediately shook his head and said with emotion: "Cool, what an unreasonable goal! Kobe has always been good at playing like this!"

Li Qiuxue pursed her lips and put her hands on her chest, against her inner thoughts, she said, "It's so-so."

Offensive and defensive transition, Yang Ke pushed the ball across the half.Through the more tacit pick-and-roll cooperation with Dior, Yang Ke temporarily got rid of Ci Shiping.Quickly rushed to the inside, after attracting the attention of two or three defensive players, he did not make a layup rashly, but passed the ball out.

The basketball accurately found Green. At this time, Green was in an open state, so he still had time to adjust his gestures, and he made a jump shot after he was fully prepared.

boom!
The basketball bounced out of the frame unexpectedly, and Kobe, who found the rebound's landing point, jumped slightly and easily took the basketball into his arms.After a pause, Kobe slowly walked forward with the ball when all the players started to walk towards the other half.

When there were two steps away from the three-point line, Kobe gradually stopped, and Leonard instantly realized that something was wrong, and immediately pulled it out.

At this moment, Kobe suddenly stood up, and when Leonard rushed over, he had already completed a super long-range three-pointer on the spot.

beep!

Swish!
Because his arm was too long, Leonard was too late to retract when Kobe completed the shot, so he touched Kobe's wrist.Therefore, the referee's whistle and the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded at the same time, and Kobe basically scored 3+1!

Looking at this scene, on the Spurs' bench, Popovich, who was originally in the hands of the master, changed slightly.In just 1 minute, the Lakers narrowed the score to single digits, and they were still under the leadership of Kobe, how could this not make him feel cold.

call!
With a cold face, he walked to the free throw line and took the referee's serve.Kobe took two shots of the basketball, then took a deep breath, and hit the ball steadily, narrowing the point difference between the two teams to 9 points.

It's Kobe!
After catching Split's baseline serve, Yang Ke walked to the frontcourt while looking at Kobe's back.A player like Kobe should not be ignored even if his first few shots are terrible.

Because often at critical moments, Kobe will stand up completely, hit all kinds of difficult goals, narrow the score for the team, and even kill the game.

He also knew that he should counterattack by himself at this time, so Yang Ke did not intend to pass the ball in this attack.Faced with Ci Shiping's close defense, Yang Ke used the combination of speed and skill to sway Ci Shiping away with continuous speed changes.

One step past the defense, Yang Ke didn't continue to kill in the direction of the penalty area, just near the free throw line, he made a mid-to-long-range shot from the spot, and scored two points for the team to stop the bleeding.

In view of the lessons learned in the two rounds just now, Leonard did not go back to the defensive half with his teammates, but stayed temporarily to mark Kobe Bryant.

However, since Kobe did not advance with the ball in this round, Leonard's full-court marking had very limited effects.

Black pushed through the midfield, saw that the team leader had no intention of asking for the ball, and he couldn't get rid of Yang Ke's extremely oppressive defense. After a slight pause, he directly passed the ball to Gasol.

Pulled out, Gasol still stood on the right side, raised his hands high, grasped the basketball tightly, and looked at the positions of his teammates.

As an important part of the triangle tactics during the two consecutive championships, Gasol's offensive ability with the ball has been sublimated, and his passing and organizational skills have also been fully developed. He has always been among the top players in the league. .

While watching, with the help of Ci Shiping's very active cover, Kobe briefly got rid of Leonard, and nodded to Gasol from a distance.

Just when Leonard thought Kobe would catch the ball and end the offense in place, he rushed at full speed.Kobe suddenly rushed into the penalty area from the weaker left side of the Spurs, kicked his feet, and pulled up violently.

And at this time, Gasol, who was holding the ball, smashed the ball towards the basket with both arms.The ball was passed a bit high, but Kobe relied on his super long time in the air, changed his posture in the air, and tapped the basketball lightly with his right arm.

It was precisely because of Kobe's penalty that the basketball changed its flight trajectory, and after bouncing off the backboard, it fell into the net.This time, the air pick was very difficult due to Gasol's misjudgment, but fortunately, the air pick was finally completed.

"pause!"

This time, Popovich didn't even have to think about it. He walked to the technical table with the tactical drawing board in his hands, and asked for a timeout without hesitation.

The situation has been gradually out of the control of the players, so Popovich has to sum up for them, and at the same time solve some problems that occurred during the game to prevent being overturned.
