unfinished glory

Chapter 188 Difficult Victory

The Grizzlies recovered the score several times today, and fell behind several times, especially in the second half. It was very difficult to narrow the score to within [-] points, and then the Lakers pulled the distance away.

There is no big problem with the team's offense. Li Chongxiao alone can guarantee the team's firepower.The problem is that the Grizzlies score, and the Lakers score more than the Grizzlies.

During the timeout, Carlisle felt that offense alone cannot solve the problem. The key point is to prevent the opponent from scoring, so defense is the main goal next.

Li Chongxiao still defended Kobe Bryant, Gasol Jr. played against Yao Ming, Barnes played and entangled Odom, Battier defended Ariza, and Conley watched Fisher.

The Lakers also used a defensive lineup at this time. This season, their style of play has been ridiculed by the majority of fans as "noble basketball."

The first three quarters of the game were loose, as long as the score could keep up, in the last quarter, the defensive strength suddenly increased, and they were taken away in one wave.

Of course, there are also those who cannot be taken away, and can only be slowly worn to death by internal superstars.

……

The sudden increase in the intensity of the game did not cause any trouble to the referee.The referees of this kind of focus battle have gone through a lot of wind and waves, and most of the scenes can be controlled.

From Yao Ming and Gasol on the inside to Kobe and Li Chongxiao on the outside, every goal scored was very difficult.

Carlisle saw that Li Chongxiao missed three shots in a row, and almost thought that the team was about to lose. As a result, the Lakers were also tough. Under Li Chongxiao's defense, Kobe also made zero three shots, and one of them was "three non-sticks".

Barkley, who was commentating on the spot, laughed and joked that these two players not only had to compete in goals, but also compared each other in missed shots.

In fact, the sudden strengthening of the confrontation did affect the feeling of the two people.They are all old players who have been in the league for several years. Looking at the scale of the referee's call, you can know what kind of defense to face this kind of intensity.

The confrontation between Li Chongxiao and Kobe, in the words of several commentators, continued from a first-level offense to a first-level defense.

But the Grizzlies really don't have an advantage. They only have Li Chongxiao in their formation, one for one and one for defense, while there are two on the opposite side.Li Chongxiao scored 51 points, but the two superstars of the Lakers have already scored 35+ points.

No matter how hard the Grizzlies try, they can't narrow the gap.Time was consumed in this situation, and there were less than 4 minutes left.

It is naturally a good thing for the Lakers. They still lead the Grizzlies by 105 points with 96:9.

Li Chongxiao was getting a little angry at this game, he missed three goals in a row, and still chose to go it alone.When this kind of ball was changed to the Spurs, it had already been passed.

After coming to the Grizzlies, he became a lot more selfish. At critical moments, he held the ball in his own hands.In his heart, there is only one thought, this is his team, even if it loses, the last goal should be that he can't make a shot, and the loss must be in his own hands.

Since there was no better way, Li Chongxiao also went all out, took the ball one step outside the three-point line and shot directly, without stepping into the net prepared for him by the Lakers.

I don't know if it was luck or the touch recovered. The goal was scored and the point difference was brought back to 6 points.

This is Li Chongxiao's 54th personal score.

This ball did not arouse the Lakers' vigilance. Today's tug-of-war is too long.In turn, Yao Ming scored another two points, and his personal score was the same as Kobe's, 38 points.

In the offensive round of the Grizzlies, Li Chongxiao quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made another ultra-long three-pointer. The point difference became 5 points, 107:102.

For two consecutive rounds, Kobe was not given a chance to defend at all. The boss suddenly got a little over the top. After getting the ball, he forced his way past Li Chongxiao and broke through to the inside. scored.

The Lakers expanded their defensive area, and Li Chongxiao was about to repeat the old trick. When he shot a long-range three-pointer, Kobe was already standing in front of him.

Li Chongxiao still made a fake move, tricking Kobe into flying.Kobe in the air quickly retracted his hands, fearing that Li Chongxiao would make him a foul.

But Li Chongxiao had no such plan at all. He had been hacked so many times in the Spurs playoffs before, and he would never put his hope on the referee.

Seeing Kobe jump up, he swayed past him with a cat waist.In the front, Ariza blocked the three-point line, and Li Chongxiao bowed to Buddha again, once again pointing to a defender, and then went to the inside.

Yao Ming blocks the sky and blocks the sun, and there is Lamar Odom staring at him next to him, so the space for attacking is very narrow.Battier has already appeared in the bottom corner, and Barnes also pulled down the open space. It can be said that as long as Li Chongxiao shakes his hand, his teammates can get an excellent opportunity to attack.

Li Chongxiao ignored all these, he stood up to Yao Ming, shook the ball into the basket from the opponent's armpit, and scored his 59th point.

Many spectators at the scene applauded unconsciously, cheering for this wonderful goal.

This difficult goal helped the team narrow the point difference to 5 points, with 2 minutes and 31 seconds left.

The Lakers didn't call a timeout. Kobe took the ball and started to waste time. Facing Li Chongxiao's preparedness, he didn't fight the balloon and still let Yao Ming come out for the pick-and-roll.

Yao Ming made a gear, then quickly bottomed out, ready to catch the ball.But this routine was spotted by Li Chongxiao, and he stood on the line ahead of time.

In desperation, Kobe could only choose to make a strong shot. The ball hit the basket and flew out.

Just as the audience sighed, Yao Ming came out, touched the ball lightly, and the ball returned to the basket.

Huge cheers erupted from the scene, this ball is crucial, leading by 7 points, the time is only 2 minutes and 5 seconds, enough for three rounds.

Carlisle had to call a timeout, and he quickly drew a defensive tactic on the tactical board, asking the players to defend the next goal.As for the offense, just leave it to Li Chongxiao.

……

After playing, Li Chongxiao advanced quickly. He plunged headfirst into the Lakers' defensive circle without stopping. Facing the double-teaming of Kobe, Ariza and Lamar Odom, he still took off strongly and burrowed into Yao Ming's arms.

Afraid of being fouled, Yao Ming tried his best to stand up straight and raised his hands high.This happened to hit Li Chongxiao's arms, and he passed the ball under the armpit on the baseline.Gasol didn't hesitate to get it, it was a dunk.

The 5-point difference gave the Grizzlies a glimmer of hope.In the next round, the Lakers couldn't make a shot.Li Chongxiao kept a close eye on Kobe, not giving him any space to connect with the ball, and Yao Ming was also made very uncomfortable by Xiaojia's defense around the front.

Several other players were also watched to death, and they didn't dare to make wild shots, fearing that they wouldn't be able to grab rebounds, which would make the Grizzlies cheaper.

Fisher has a lot of experience, since he couldn't make a shot, it took time, and he gave up the whole 24 seconds, leaving 1 minute and 30 seconds for the Grizzlies.

After Li Chongxiao got the ball, he had to choose a way closer to the basket in order to increase his success rate.He struggled to break through to the free throw line, with Yao Ming in front and Kobe behind.

At this point, it's better to trust yourself than pass the ball to a teammate on the perimeter.A forward leaning high hitting board, as long as the ball hits inside the white circle, it can basically be scored.

Li Chongxiao scored 61 points, 111:108, with 1 minute and 10 seconds left, and the 3-point difference made the game suspenseful again.

The next round was crucial, and Kobe also played very cautiously. Several times when Li Chongxiao showed his flaws, he didn't choose to make a strong attack, but chose to play back singles steadily.

Concentrating on Li Chongxiao is very difficult to deal with. Facing this kind of defense, other players in the league can hardly find a shot position.That is, Kobe, still moved out of his body, and he could still shoot with a higher arc.But the ball was still touched by Li Chongxiao and missed.

Gasol grabbed the rebound, but he didn't dare to use up the last timeout, so he could only give the ball to Li Chongxiao and let him decide how to play on the court.

With less than 50 seconds left, Li Chongxiao chose the safest way to hit the basket.This time, two insiders of the Grizzlies came out to set him a pick-and-roll, and he got in through the gap and faced Yao Ming's defense.

This time he did not choose to throw the ball or hit the board high, but chose a difficult physical confrontation, just to make a foul.

Yao Ming really didn't have a good position for the ball, and the referee's whistle sounded very timely.During the fall, Li Chongxiao threw the ball into the air, and luckily fell into the basket.

After hitting this 2+1, the Grizzlies finally evened the point difference with 27 seconds left.

……

After the Lakers used up the last timeout, Kobe still took the ball this time. He missed a key shot just now, and it didn't affect his emotions.

Facing Li Chongxiao's defense, Kobe estimated the time, and at about the same time, he used an extremely concise and sudden fadeaway jumper to calmly score the ball.

With just over 7 seconds left, the Lakers took the lead again.

The audience at the scene was boiling, and the audience burst into warm applause, and the voice of "MVP" was heard endlessly.

Carlisle used the last timeout and didn't give too complicated an explanation, as long as the players moved more and helped Li Chongxiao receive the ball. .

After the timeout ended, Li Chongxiao leaned against Kobe, and Ariza stood beside him, ready to cut the passing line.

Li Chongxiao pushed Kobe up, but there was no room for him to push out.Then he turned again and was double-teamed by Ariza.Seeing that time was running out, he took a step forward to drive the center of gravity of the two Lakers players, and then one ran back to the backcourt, finally receiving the ball.

In 7 seconds, he quickly dribbled away from Ariza's steal.

In 6 seconds, he quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

The audience was dazzled, and the commentator broadcast before the TV festival was also quick-mouthed: "There are 7 seconds left in the clock, Li Chongxiao received the ball, he swayed to avoid the steal, and took the ball to the frontcourt."

"Kobe stepped forward to defend, Gasol Jr. came to the pick-and-roll, walked to the left, and Yao Ming followed. Continuously disguised, Yao Ming was swayed away. An emergency stop, a jump shot, the ball passed Yao Ming's fingertips!"

"The goal is scored, the goal is scored! Li Chongxiao beat the Lakers!"
