unfinished glory

Chapter 212 I finally won
In the last minute or so, the real decisive moment, Yao Ming missed a mid-range shot, leaving a chance for the Grizzlies to overtake.

Li Chongxiao encountered two double-teams when he received the ball in the backcourt. He rushed to the frontcourt quickly, but he couldn't get rid of Kobe and Ariza.

In the last half of the game, he shot all the shots for the Grizzlies, which will naturally not give the ball.Facing the double-teaming of the three, he tossed and turned, struggling to find a chance to make a move.

When he took off, he found that Kobe was already ready, waiting in the air to block the shot.Seeing that he was about to be blocked, Li Chongxiao collected the ball, leaned forward and hit the ball on the backboard, then bounced back.

Then he rushed out from the crowd, grabbed the rebound, took a step from the baseline to dribble, and then threw himself in the air, against Yao Ming's defense, and succeeded in turning the blue.

With 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the game, with Li Chongxiao's goal, the Grizzlies finally overtook the score by 1 point.

There were thunderous cheers at the scene, and the emotions accumulated by the fans got a chance to vent.

After returning from the timeout and making the free throw, the Grizzlies temporarily lead the Lakers 97:95.

With this 2+1, Li Chongxiao also scored his first 60 points in the playoffs.

……

The offense of the Lakers was naturally handed over to Kobe. Li Chongxiao didn't dare to push him too hard at this time. While trying his best to defend, he gestured for Battier to pay attention to the defense.

Kobe dribbled for 18 seconds. Seeing that Battier stepped forward to double-team, he quickly dribbled to the free throw line and shot against Li Chongxiao's defense.

Li Chongxiao focused on this ball and was prepared for it. His outstretched hands forced Kobe to raise his shooting arc.The ball hit the front edge of the rim and fell to the floor, causing players on both sides to scramble.

Battier saw the opportunity and flicked out, Li Chongxiao grabbed the ball ahead of Kobe.He wanted to play a fast break at the beginning, but Kobe was also experienced and defended well in advance.

When Li Chongxiao dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, there were only 41 seconds left.This ball has to be played carefully. If you can score a goal, your hope of victory will increase greatly; even if you can't score a goal, you must also pay attention to time control and give yourself enough time for the last round of attack.

With almost 36 seconds left, Li Chongxiao dribbled the ball straight to the basket from two steps away from the three-point line.Kobe and Ariza, one in front and the other on the right, were delaying while preparing to steal the ball.

Seeing that Yao Ming and Odom are ready to come up, Shannon Brown is also behind, facing the double-teaming of five people. Even if Li Chongxiao wants to pass the ball at this time, it is probably a mistake.

Time did not allow him to think too much, he dribbled with his left hand, grabbed the ball with one hand, kicked hard to the left, and jumped out obliquely.

In the air, he blocked Ariza's block with his right hand, adjusted his left hand catching the ball slightly, and then quickly threw the ball.

When he landed, Li Chongxiao was hooked by his left arm by Shannon Brown, who blocked the shot from behind, and brought him down to the ground.

"Drip", the referee blew his whistle, and the ball also hit the white circle on the backboard and bounced into the basket.

……

"Swipe", scored the free throw, and Li Chongxiao scored 63 points, tying Jordan's playoff scoring record.

The goal also helped the Grizzlies extend their lead to five points with 34 seconds left in the clock.

In order to prevent the Lakers from playing a fast offense, the Grizzlies adopted a man-to-man tactic when the Lakers served half court.Their tactic is very simple, it is to consume at least 10 seconds of offensive time for the Lakers.

Seeing that Odom's serve was difficult to deliver, Kobe could only go to the backcourt to catch the ball. When he dribbled to the frontcourt, Li Chongxiao was defending again.He searched several times, but couldn't find a good attacking opportunity.

When the time on the clock was only 14 seconds left, Kobe knew that their fast offensive tactics were shattered and could only play steadily.

After the Grizzlies succeeded in taking time, the formation changed a little bit, defending three-pointers and releasing two points.Li Chongxiao entangled with Kobe for a while, but still let him break into the three-point line.

Kobe relied on his experience to get a chance, and he leaned back without hesitation.The ball was a bit short, but luckily Yao Ming got the rebound, and instead of receiving the ball in his arms, he stood on tiptoe and made a fake move.

Little Gasol had already been ordered, so he stood aside and dared not stretch out his hand.Seeing that Gasol was not fooled, Yao Ming could only dunk vigorously with one hand.

With 3 minutes and 12 seconds, Carlisle used up the last timeout and arranged offensive tactics.

Not surprisingly, the Lakers will adopt foul tactics. Li Chongxiao is the team's most accurate free throw, and other teammates must create opportunities for him to catch the ball.

Gasol serves and Odom jumps in front of him to interfere.Li Chongxiao is also going to adopt the method of catching the ball in the backcourt. Anyway, they don't need to score, and they can win after running out of time.

But when he turned around and was about to go to the backcourt, Kobe and Ariza ran at the same time, ready to stop him from receiving the ball.As a result, the two collided, and Li Chongxiao easily got the ball in the backcourt.

He took the ball and ran around the Lakers' half court. When he saw someone coming and fouled, he passed another ball to Conley who came to respond after half court.Shannon Brown, who came over to pounce on Li Chongxiao, ran up again in a hurry, preparing to make a foul.

As a result, Conley made a mistake at this time. Instead of dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, he passed the ball back, allowing Li Chongxiao to get the ball again.

This time around, there were only more than 7 seconds left in the time, and Kobe and Ariza were still defending in front, and 3 seconds were not enough for Li Chongxiao to move from the Lakers' three-second zone to the frontcourt.

The Lakers also have a timeout. Once the Grizzlies violated the 8-second violation, it would be dangerous to leave the Lakers with 4 seconds.

The Grizzlies players didn't realize the problem at all. All four of them stood in the frontcourt, and no one came to respond.Passing the ball forward at this time would definitely be a mistake. Li Chongxiao was a little helpless and stopped dribbling.

Kobe reacted immediately. He stopped Ariza, who was about to foul, and shouted "stop him from dribbling."Although Ariza didn't understand, he still decided to obey the boss's order, bent down and defended seriously.

A second was also lost in the time. Li Chongxiao gritted his teeth and jumped up to shoot.

The audience was dumbfounded for a moment, not understanding why Li Chongxiao threw such a ball at this time.

The ball flew in the air for more than 2 seconds, and then plunged into the basket.

The audience jumped up, celebrating this incredible goal and celebrating the team's victory at home.

The Lakers called a timeout, and with the scene repeatedly played on the big screen, the current commentator explained Li Chongxiao's choice in detail just now, and everyone understood how critical the situation was just now.

There are 3.4 seconds left for the Lakers, which is only enough for one offense.The defensive strategy of the Grizzlies is not to foul, and the Lakers can shoot casually.

After Kobe received the ball, he shot directly before he had time to dribble, but the distance was a little far, and he hit the iron.The rebound bounced a little far, and without any player grabbing it, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

After the team was pushed into desperation, relying on Li Chongxiao's explosive performance at home, scoring 66 points and breaking the playoff scoring record, helped the Grizzlies pull back a victory, and the big score became 2:3.
