Chapter 800 Death Steal
The coming and going of both sides has reached its peak.In a Game [-] like this, some survival instincts come to the fore - unless you burn to the limit in a game, there's no hope.

Kobe must regard himself as the undefeated God of War. Only by adhering to this belief can he lead the Lakers to comeback at such an important juncture.

For Bryant, this is a crucial game, he has been trying to prove himself, he can do without the Sharks.

In the past few years, it can be said that he has no helpers around him, but now he has Gasol and Artest around him, and he has a strong enough team.

So, it can no longer fail.

Bai Jidong standing opposite him was another scene. He stood outside the gate of greatness and touched Bill Russell, the second person who aspired to win four consecutive championships.

In front of him, two great teams that won three consecutive championships have already collapsed.

Now there are only three and a half minutes left before they reach the finals.

Kobe ran around like a lunatic, trying to get rid of Bai Jidong.All kinds of noise disturbed Kobe, and he made up his mind to keep these damn mouths shut.

The chasing scene between Bai Jidong and Kobe is like a fast-moving movie, they have already fought to the last moment, they have fought for most of the game before, but now they still have the energy to run wildly.

In this kind of competition where you die or you die, Kobe's obsession overcame his reason.

Because he has a stronger sense of crisis, if this goal is not made, their chances of winning will become even slimmer.

Therefore, he must break Bai Jidong's defense.

Bynum's pick-and-roll played a very important role, his broad body like a bear helped Kobe to firmly block Bai Weidong.

Kobe used this to rush out of the three-point line to catch the ball, make a three-pointer, and hit it as accurately as a guided shell.

Kobe gritted his teeth, bloody murderous intent burst out from his eyes, he wanted to win, his eyes clearly told everyone.

Bai Jidong was watching him from behind, Kobe's desire to compete made him empathize.

The current Kobe is just like him when he just arrived in Minnesota. Any obstacles in front of him will be destroyed, and no one can stop him from going to that great stage.

"Kobe, you are really tough." Bai Jidong rarely commented on his opponents like this.

Kobe didn't feel honored at all, Bai Jidong said that as if he had lost the game.

When he wins this game, he will return this sentence.

"Kobe's key three-pointer helped the Lakers catch up to 7 points. This is still a big point difference. They can't make mistakes at all!"

The Timberwolves are leading the way, and they deal with the issues at hand calmly.

They lead by 7 points. As long as they can control the game time, stabilize the rhythm and ensure the offensive efficiency, this game can be won.

Many games where a big lead was overturned at the last minute were due to overconfidence.Timberwolves may make similar mistakes, but Bai Jidong will never let this happen.

He knows very well what the team needs to do. They need to make the Lakers desperate to score more than to control the field steadily.

Kobe scored a three-pointer, and they saw hope; if they responded with a three-pointer, they would be able to push the Lakers back into the water after taking a breath from the water.

Bai Jidong is thoughtful, but there are always surprises in everything.

A cooperation that could be included in the textbook as a textbook if it was completed once made a mistake in the process of passing the ball.

Spanoulis' pass was a little off, and Artest's arm touched the ball.

Then, Kobe grabbed the ball and was about to make a quick break when Bai Jidong stepped forward and blocked Kobe with a tactical foul.

"You're about to lose." Kobe said coldly.

Bai Jidong snorted lightly, and left without looking back.

Spanoulis didn't apologize, he doesn't need to apologize, the game is not over yet, he still has a chance to make amends.

"Come on, defend them!" Bai Jidong shouted loudly, spreading his hands.

Kobe stopped running, and he dribbled the ball across half court, looking like he was going to attack directly.

With a calm expression, Bai Weidong stepped forward to wrap around Kobe.

There are many types of defense, tactical closeness; seductive entanglement; one-on-one marking during regular periods; last-minute pressing.

What Bai Jidong is doing now is seductive entanglement. The purpose of entanglement is to prevent Kobe from shooting and lure him to break through.

Bryant is far less of a driving threat now than his shooting threat.

Bai Jidong followed Kobe's body, leading him in step by step.

Kobe doesn't want to break through, he feels good now, and shooting is a better choice, but Bai Jidong sticks him so that there is no room for him to jump up and shoot.

This kind of defense will be called a foul by the referee in most cases.

Because this is the playoffs, because this is the last few minutes of the Western Conference Finals, and because the defensive person is called Bai Jidong, the referees are silent.

Kobe dribbled and moved, still no chance.It will become more and more inconvenient if this goes on, Bai Jidong stretches out his hand and wants to break Kobe's ball.

This is a risky move, but also to lure Kobe to break through.

Since Bai Jidong wants him to break through so much, let's show him.

Kobe was certain in his heart, dodging Bai Weidong's stealing hand.

At this moment, the hole in Bai Weidong's defense was exposed, and Kobe rushed into it in one step.

This is what Bai Jidong wanted to see, Kobe rushed in frantically, his speed was not as fast as Bai Jidong, and there was Medved, a shot-blocking idiot, in front of him.

At this time, passing is the only correct and reasonable choice.

Because his name is Kobe, he can't pass the ball.

Kobe has no intention of retreating at all, the defense is on top of his head, Bai Weidong's blocking sweeps from his side, and the angles that can be shot have been blocked.

"You are finished, Kobe!" Bai Jidong shouted.

A murderous intent flashed in Kobe's pupils. He was in the air, grabbing the ball with both hands, meeting Medved's long arms and naturally making a large circular rotation to draw the bar, completely avoiding his block.

Kobe kept moving in the air, Medved's defense had been broken and Bai Jidong couldn't block the ball from behind.

Therefore, whether the ball can be blocked or not depends entirely on Kobe's touch.

It's bound to be a frustrating pull-up, with Kobe twisting his body to the limit, and you don't even know how he keeps his center of gravity in that situation.

In this way, Kobe hit a "breakthrough from outside the three-point line, one hit two in the air, and a big windmill layup with both hands."

Medved's psychological shadow grew rapidly, and what happened in front of him was beyond his comprehension.

"How should we praise the ball?"

"Don't talk, feel it with your heart!"

Kobe hit the center of the target silently.

Kobe broke through Bai Jidong's defense, confronted the Timberwolves' two best inside and outside defenders in the air, and scored in a seemingly impossible way.

"Kobe scored 5 points in a row, and he has scored 46 points."

"I will never stop here." Kobe left this sentence and ran away coldly.

With 2 minutes left in the game, the Timberwolves only had a 5-point lead.

Kobe's offensive overwhelmed the wolves.

Casey couldn't sit still. He walked up and down the sidelines restlessly. Kobe put more pressure on him than on the players on the court.

Bai Jidong knew what Kobe wanted to do, this kind of thing had happened too many times.

If Kobe can hold on to the end, the Lakers can reap a great victory.

So, can he make it to the end?

Bai Jidong is happy to witness Kobe's legend, if this legend comes at the cost of his background of becoming a legend, then it will not be interesting at all.

Standing on such a stage, everyone has to do their best, and superstars like Bai Jidong and Kobe have to shoulder even more.

While Bai Jidong was walking on the road, Spanoulis did not forget the mistake he made just now, and he wanted to make up for it.

The Lakers' defense made it difficult for him to move forward. To make up for the loss, he needs Bai Weidong's help.

Bai Jidong has Kobe close to him, so it is not easy to get away and catch the ball.

"Kobe, are you so afraid of me catching the ball?" Bai Jidong asked with a smile.

Kobe didn't speak, and continued to intensify the confrontation, as if he wanted to knock Bai Jidong down.

Bai Jidong's steps are steady, Kobe's confrontation is just an itching-like dawdle, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

This kind of confrontation is not enough to knock people down.

Bai Jidong cut his position and ran to the outside to get the ball. Kobe greeted him like a demon.

"Are you making this expression to scare me to death with your face? I warn you, you won't succeed!"

Bai Jidong laughed and joked with Kobe.

Kobe was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him. If the Lakers finally won the game, he would tell Bai Jidong in a preaching tone: You lost because your attitude was not correct.

Obviously the Lakers are biting so tightly, but Bai Weidong doesn't feel nervous at all.

For the nth time, he started from outside the three-point line and singled out Kobe.Bai Weidong's center of gravity was lowered to the lowest level, he patted the ball slowly, his crotch cut, as if playing an exhibition game.

No matter how stable Kobe's center of gravity is, when encountering such a rhythmic crotch change, he will be shaken left and right, and it is difficult to control himself.

From the beginning to the end, Kobe was shaken four times in total, and the last time was fatal. He lost his defensive position and was pierced by Bai Jidong.

The defense was pierced, and the others either watched Bai Jidong score, or rushed forward to help defend.

Bynum came out to help, and he freed Medved.

Bai Jidong does not intend to solve all the problems alone like Kobe.

Bai Jidong threw the ball high to help Medved into the air.

Then, Medved Dapeng spread his wings, grabbed the ball with both hands, and smashed it hard to the basket.

7 points.

"Bingo! The White Wolf assisted Bourne Medved for an alley-oop dunk, and he got a triple-double again, which also means that his average per game in this round of the series has reached a terrifying 41 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. "

"A triple-double with 40+ points per game? Amazing!"

"Seven points, Kobe, keep going." Bai Jidong mocked.

There are 100 seconds left in the game, and to chase 7 points, first of all, the success rate must be guaranteed, and second, at least two attacks by the Timberwolves must be prevented.

You have to do it all to have a chance of winning the game.

The Lakers called a timeout.

After the timeout ended, the Lakers really arranged a serving tactic for Kobe to catch the ball, and they succeeded.

Kobe holds the ball, calls a pick-and-roll, and turns the defender into Vashabek.

Vashabek was far easier to deal with than Bai Jidong. Kobe took a few steps with the ball and then launched an attack.

Vashabek is very aware of how important this round is, as long as he guards Kobe, he can win the game.

Therefore, he did not allow himself to make mistakes, and he did play the best defense.

Kobe's various rhythm switches and dribble shaking failed to shake Vashabek's defense.

Kobe didn't want to take the first step with Vashabek. He knew very well how terrifying Vashabek's physical fitness was.

Unable to get rid of it with skills, and unable to break through with speed, Kobe only has one path to choose from.

"Watch out for his shots!"

Old Willis shouted from the sidelines.

Old Willis' reminder directly led to a series of accidents that followed.

Kobe was about to be blocked by Vashabek for a 24-second violation. In the last three seconds, he faked a shot and shook Vashabek, who was extremely sensitive to shooting movements.

Then, Kobe bumped into the ball, and the moment the body touched, the referee had already blown his whistle.Bryant roared in the air and slammed the ball out.

"No way." Bai Jidong had a bad feeling.

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard and rolled into the basket with strong energy, and the audience exclaimed.

Kobe roared and punched forward vigorously. His teammates on the field ran towards him one by one, and his teammates off the field jumped up and down excitedly. Even Zen Master wiped his eyes to make sure he didn't look at him. dazzled.

"It's a pity, you are still a little short." Bai Jidong slowly put away his smile.

"White Wolf, do you want to pause?" Casey asked.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "Please sit still, and use the remaining time to think of a posture for embracing victory."

It is not easy to coach a player like Bai Jidong.

It is difficult for a coach to dominate the team. Although Bai Jidong is not the kind of ball tyrant who dominates all power, his leadership is so strong that the coach does not need to interfere.

With Bai Jidong around, the coach has only one function, and that is to call a timeout at the right time.

Casey doesn't want to be a puppet, but he has no choice.

Bai Jidong still respects him and regards him as a coach, but he often inadvertently helps him do all the things, leaving him with nothing to do.

The Lakers pressed forward, Bai Weidong served the ball to Spanoulis, and then rushed to catch the ball from Spanoulis' hands.

Kobe stepped up his defensive efforts, which made Bai Jidong spend more energy to get through halftime.

Bai Jidong accelerated his dribble and passed the half court smoothly. Kobe caught up and blocked him from the outside.

"You should know that you can't guard against me like this." Bai Jidong said.

Kobe said lightly: "Whether you can prevent it can only be known by trying it."

"Some things don't need to be tried. We played seven games and I averaged 40 points per game. Why do you think you can guard me now?" Bai Jidong asked flatly.

"I believe I can," Bryant said.

Bai Jidong jokingly said: "Believe is too mysterious a word, unreasonable self-confidence is not advisable, do you think you are the protagonist in the story?"

Because of this nonsense, Bai Jidong wasted 24 seconds of attack time until only 7 seconds left, he had to attack.

The cleanliness of offense contrasts sharply with the sloppiness of trash talk.

Bai Weidong took a very quick step from the weak side, Kobe reacted, followed, and leaned against him with his body.

Kobe is very powerful, Bai Weidong failed to push Kobe back.

Bai Jidong paused a step, then backed away.

Just when Kobe thought he was going to shoot, Bai Jidong pulled the ball from the left to the right in a large and advanced direction.

The speed and range are too great, and it is difficult for Kobe to keep up.

In order to keep up with Bai Jidong, Kobe had to destroy his body balance and forcefully twist his body to catch up.

Bai Jidong, who had already pulled out the space, did not take advantage of the situation to knock Kobe away.

After Kobe twisted his body to catch up, he pressed his center of gravity, and his right hand connected to the ball pulled the ball behind him for a shot, making a gorgeous and aggressive emergency stop and changing direction behind him.

Kobe could no longer support his body. He supported it with one foot, his body swayed from side to side, and he might fall at any time.

Bai Jidong's attack was cruel, and he was not satisfied with shaking Kobe like this, so he accelerated forward and gave Kobe the final blow.

Kobe, who had lost his balance, saw Bai Jidong's breakthrough and wanted to respond, but there was only one result.

No matter how good the core strength was, Kobe couldn't stop, and he sat down on the ground.

The cheers at Target Center drowned everything out and the crowd chanted in unison.

"Shh!"

"It may be a deadly shot!"

"White Wolf's goal may have killed the Lakers."

Bai Jidong looked back at Kobe, he had already stood up, with a strong fighting spirit on his face.

The Timberwolves lead by 7 points, and there are 70 seconds left in the game. It can be said that they have established a foundation enough to win the victory.

"They will definitely serve Kobe, so we just need to keep Kobe on the line now," Casey said.

Even if they passed the ball to someone else, the Timberwolves' defense was a success.

As long as Kobe can't catch the ball, the Timberwolves' defense is considered a success.

Bai Jidong panted heavily, only one step away from winning the competition.

Only this kind of time can reflect the value of a superstar. Bai Jidong puts all his attention on the field. In his eyes, everything slows down. He can clearly see the clues in these movements .

Bai Jidong was the first to go on the court, watching the Lakers players intently, watching them go on the court, watching their mouth shapes.

The Lakers are running tactics, and they still have hope in this round, as long as they can send the ball, as long as Kobe can make this goal.

No matter how complex the tactic is, this tactic is for Kobe.

Bai Weidong read their running positions, and then found out where Kobe received the ball.

As if time stood still, Bryant ran out of space along three screens, and Fisher made the pass.

In front of Bryant, a hand fumbled the pass one step ahead of him, and it was game over.

The Lakers stared wide-eyed as the hateful Timberwolves No. 12 snatched the ball away from them.

"White Wolf's Death Steal!"

"Fast Break Score!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's all over!"

Kobe hit another jumper at the last moment and scored 49 points, but there was no suspense in the game.

In the end, the Lakers lost the suffocating tiebreaker.

Kobe watched the people coming and going with empty eyes, unable to believe that he had lost.

Bai Jidong walked over to Kobe and stretched out his hand, "It's really dangerous." "If you have any trash talk, say it now." Kobe said.

"Thank you, this is a great game." Bai Jidong patted Kobe on the shoulder, "Come again next year."

This is how Bai Jidong is. Once the match is over, their confrontation is also over.Bai Jidong and Kobe are not sworn enemies, he doesn't need to rub salt on Kobe's wound.

Kobe looked at Bai Jidong who was waving to the audience, and clenched his fists.

　I'm not satisfied with this series, maybe because my train of thought has been disrupted, I've been thinking about new books recently.The next book will also write basketball articles, and it will be released after this season is finished.
