Chapter 594 Tragic Ending
With only 2 minutes left in the game and the Lakers trailing by 3 points, it can be said that their lives are hanging by a thread.

At times like this, every offense and defense counts.

If you can't seize the opportunity, the result of the game is likely to be decided in these few rounds.

From the right three-point line, Kobe took the ball, and Bai Jidong's defense was right in front of him.

No matter how he moves, he is under Bai Weidong's defense.

Kobe's body is half-curved, his center of gravity fluctuates up and down, and the ball is always in the abdomen of his left hand.

In such a posture, he can break through with the ball, and he can also rise from the ground, it depends on Kobe's choice.

With his touch tonight, no matter what he does is possible.

Bai Weidong posted it so tightly to guard against his three-pointers. When Kobe's three-threat swayed Bai Weidong's defense, he seized less than a second to make a strong shot.

Bai Jidong's palm covered Kobe's eyes, but he couldn't stop him from sending the ball to the basket.

Kobe's decisiveness is unimaginable.

Bai Jidong looked back at the ball in the air, just looking at the arc, he knew that the ball was likely to be scored.

After Bryant fell, the basketball went into the net hollow.

After scoring a key three-pointer, Kobe took off.

"Only by winning can one survive, only by success can one pay, and only by hard work can one gain."

"Did you fucking copy so many celebrity quotes and poisonous chicken soup just to embarrass yourself at this time?" Bai Jidong couldn't help it.

Kobe looked back and smiled, and said angrily, "Yes."

"Why are you still talking to him?"

Hardaway didn't understand, at this point, the bayonets on both sides were already red, either you die or I die, there is no need to go any further.

Bai Jidong said: "Sometimes chatting can be a distraction, I hope to distract him and reduce his hit rate."

"It didn't work out, right?" Hardaway asked with a smile.

"After all, he's a reptile, so he can't be treated with common sense." Bai Jidong and Kobe have fought so many times, and tonight is the first time that Kobe made him feel completely unguardable.

Kobe tonight is just like Jordan back then.

No matter what Bai Jidong did, Kobe could break his defense.

When encountering such an offense, defense has lost its meaning, and the game has entered the time to compete in offensive skills.

The audience screamed "defense", and the game became extremely tense.

Harlan looked at the magician, frowning, staring at the field.

Obviously, the experienced Lakers star also entered the game, and he even forgot that he was a commentator.

The charm of this game has gone beyond the usual regular season. Considering the grievances between Bai Jidong and Kobe, this is simply an ultimate showdown full of topics.

Bai Jidong took the initiative to block those random voices, he only had one target in his eyes: the basket.

There is only the rim, and he wants to bomb the rim, so he calls for Garnett's pick-and-roll, trying to end the ball through Garnett's pick-and-roll.

Kobe's defense made it difficult. In the end, Bai Weidong dribbled from left to right in front of his body, got rid of the defense, and went straight into the Lakers' penalty area.

Garnett's pick-and-roll brought Bynum out, so the Lakers' restricted area was empty at the moment.

Bai Jidong jumped up, like a god holding a huge axe, his stalwart body faced the basket, and made the dunk that Pippen most often made back then.

The basketball was dunked heavily from top to bottom.What a bison collapsed!
This is Bai Jidong's 44 points, while Kobe on the opposite side has scored 50 points.

Kobe's offense will not stop, even if the Lakers hand over to him every round of offense in the next round, Bai Jidong will not be surprised.

This is Kobe's status with the Lakers.

He is the only player on the Lakers capable of killing games.

"Young man, don't you intend to help Kobe worry about it?" Hardaway hoped that Parker would launch an offense, so that he could disrupt Kobe's better and better rhythm.

Although Parker didn't have a good relationship with Bryant, he was a generalist and knew it was time to give the ball to Bryant.

So he ignored Hardaway's words and passed the ball to Kobe after halftime.

Kobe then broke forward, Bai Jidong was about to follow, but was blocked by Odom beside him.

Kobe then dribbled the ball into the three-point line, on the right side of the free throw line, flicked the ball, and Himien was pointed.

Bryant slammed into it all over, causing Himien's sixth foul and then shooting.

The shot missed, but Himien fouled out.

This is the second insider who was played off by Kobe today, the first being Olowokandi.

Bryant tonight is like a foul maker, he made 21 fouls by the Timberwolves alone.

Simien spread his hands and complained: "Is Kobe untouchable?"

"Stop yelling, this is a foul." Bai Jidong pushed Simien off the field before the referee heard the complaint.

Himien is still unconvinced. He thinks he should not leave the field, but should stand in front of the referee and make a just protest.

Anyone can do it, but be prepared to be called a righteous technical foul by the referee.

At this stage of the game, the Timberwolves can no longer afford the price of technical fouls.

So let Simien hold back the resentment in his heart and get off the stage quickly.

Himeon was full of complaints, and babbled them out.

Before Kobe made the free throw, Casey called a timeout.

Regardless of the outcome of Bryant's free throw, there was only one minute remaining in the game.

Every attack is a matter of victory or defeat, so don't be careless.

Casey took out the tactical board and clearly drew a running line: "Bo Nu, I want you to run here and shoot a three-pointer. Is there a problem?"

Vashabek was stunned, and he never thought that the tactics would be deployed on him anyway.

"I?"

"Any questions?" Kathy asked.

Vashabek said seriously: "No problem!"

"Okay! Just play according to this tactic, and each of you must create opportunities for Bonu!" Casey said.

Everyone responded, and the pause ended.

Kobe made two free throws, Garnett served to Hardaway, and the game started.

Hardaway crossed halftime in five seconds, and the game entered the final 60 seconds.

"Why Bonu?" Hardaway asked Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Just because you ask this question, it should be Bonu."

Hardaway is not an idiot either, he said: "Although our coach is a rookie, it's okay to play tricks."

"The only question is whether Bonu can hit the ball." Bai Jidong looked at the back of No. 99 ahead.

Shooting key shots, this is something Vashabek has never thought about and never tried.

Tonight, without any warning or prompting, the coach suddenly arranged for him to shoot key shots, and it felt like a heavy burden was suddenly added to his body.

Hardaway came to the frontcourt, and the tactics started.

The first is Hardaway's pick-and-roll breakthrough, disrupting the formation, which is the basis for all tactics.

No matter how good the tactics are, it still requires the opponent to mess up their own positions, and the ball-handler's breakthrough is a good way.

When someone breaks through the defensive line, the entire defensive line will be involved, and people outside the defensive line can wait for the opportunity to run. The runners run out of opportunities, and the ball holder passes the ball. This is a perfect coordination.

Vashabek's running position is relatively simple, he is not the focus of offense, and the Lakers don't target him very much.

This tactic has a double insurance. If Hardaway's breakthrough fails to disrupt the defense, let Garnett make another cover to create opportunities for Vashabek.

As a result, the second insurance was useless, and Vashabek ran to the top of the arc.

Hardaway quickly passes the ball back.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Vashabek caught the ball and shot it. The ball floated out in a flat and straight arc, like a cannonball, and flew straight to the basket.

"Shh!"

If the boos had power, then the ceiling over Luke Walton's head should have collapsed, and fans couldn't accept his defense.

His defense against Vashabek was too inadequate. With just one breakthrough, Wharton's attention was taken away, allowing Vashabek to run out of the opportunity directly.

Even if you're facing a player who averages only 6 points per game, you shouldn't be so negligent.

With 48 seconds left in the game, Zen Master also called a timeout to rearrange.

After the game started, the Lakers used a double screen to allow Kobe to catch the ball, and Bai Jidong stepped forward to guard against Kobe.

Kobe's murderous intent was extremely strong, as if he wanted to swallow Bai Jidong alive.

Even so, Bryant also failed to break through, and Garnett's double-team made him lose the shooting space.

Calling out two big gates inside and outside to double-team Kobe, this kind of thing can only be done by the Timberwolves.

Kobe wanted to shoot in anger, but he heard the voice of the Zen master before he made the shot, and he passed the ball on a whim.

Bai Jidong quickly ran in front of Odom, also preventing him from dying.

Although Odom is an insider, he only has the height of an outsider, which is about the same as Bai Jidong.

Height, wingspan, weight, and strength cannot be crushed, and Odom has no advantage in playing Bai Jidong.

Running out of time, a name came to Odom's mind, and his body followed suit.

Kobe was almost standing next to the logo, completely unprepared for Odom's pass.

When he got the ball, there were only two seconds left, and Kobe could only take a shot and shoot a super long three-pointer.

At the end of the attack time, the ball just flew to the highest point, and under the watchful eyes of countless people, it scored a three-pointer.

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

The fans at the Staples Center came close to worshiping Kobe like the pilgrims. This shot is really amazing!
The Lakers' offense ran out for 24 seconds, and there were still 24 seconds left in the game. The two sides drew and the Timberwolves had the ball.

"Maggie, how would you rate this game?" Harlan asked.

"I can't breathe now!"

The magician exaggerated: "A wonderful game is not measured by how many times we breathe, but how many times we hold our breath."

The Timberwolves' serving tactics revolve around Bai Jidong, and Garnett's high-quality pawns are the key to the success of the tactics.

Bai Jidong ran out from Garnett's screen to catch the ball, and the game started again.

Kobe rushed over viciously, as if he wanted to eat Bai Jidong alive.

Buzzer, or seize the opportunity to attack?

This is a problem, and when the opportunity arises, it is not a problem.

The two sides drew, and Bai Jidong could wait until the last second to make a move, but Kobe's defensive flaws made him decide to launch an attack in advance.

Kobe paid too much attention to Bai Weidong's breakthrough from the weak side, but instead weakened the strong side's defense, allowing Bai Weidong to find an opportunity to break his defense.

Two steps inside the three-point line, Bai Jidong stopped and made a shot!
Only three seconds left for the Lakers!

However, Bai Jidong, who hit the quasi-killer, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

It feels like the Lakers are the overtaking team.

"Shouldn't you be happy to score the lore?"

Vashabek asked.

"No, I left too much time for Kobe."

Bai Jidong felt a sense of crisis, which was extremely strong, especially when he saw that there were three seconds left in the time, a fear from the bottom of his heart surged into his mind.

Damn, three seconds is too much!
With Kobe's touch tonight, a lot can happen in three seconds.

Vashabek didn't understand why Bai Jidong said that, but he soon knew.

The timeout ended, and the Timberwolves resolutely followed Casey's so-called "eye on Kobe" instructions.

There were two people following Kobe from the beginning.

Bai Jidong and Vashabek, one on the left and one on the right, it is difficult for anyone to escape from such a defense, but Kobe can.

Bryant forces space and catches the ball.

In just three seconds, Kobe circled upwards and rushed to the paint area, with Bai Jidong and Vashabek following him closely.

Kobe did his trick, sticking to Vashabek's body, making him dare not move, and then drifting his whole body to the top of the arc, he was in the air, ignoring Bai Jidong's blocking hand.

In the last 0.5 seconds, Kobe threw the ball with the strength of his wrist.

His movements were deformed, but the ball was still thrown by him.

"boom!"

"Shh!"

The red light was already on, and Kobe hit the blow!
"It's over! It's over! Kobe beat Minnesota and the Lakers won!"

Harlan screamed uncontrollably.

Kobe excitedly stretched out his hands, and his teammates rushed to him to congratulate him.

Bai Jidong and Vashabek stood at the same spot with dejected expressions on their faces.

Hardaway sighed: "This is a disaster!"

"That would be an understatement."

Bai Jidong was already furious: "It should be said that there is a wonderful beginning of "Titanic", but a tragic ending with no survivors. No woman or child, not even the fucking Kate Winslet survived , all dead!"
