Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 177

Everyone was stunned.

Whether it was the Trail Blazers, the Lakers players, or even the fans who were watching the game, everyone was stunned. No one could be sure whether Kobe's shot was taken before the timer ran out or after the time was over. hand.

But this point could not be hidden from the referees, they went directly to the technical stage to read the video of the game just now.In slow motion, it can be clearly seen that the red light on the timer turned on after Kobe shot.After repeated confirmation, the referee and the two assistant referees reached a consensus and indicated that Kobe's goal in the last 0.4 seconds was valid. The score was rewritten to 102 to 101, with a big score of 4 to 3, and the Blazers were eliminated.

The next moment, the Staples Center became a sea of ​​joy, while the smiles on the faces of everyone in the Blazers gradually froze. 0.4 seconds, what they thought was insignificant 0.4 seconds, was used by Kobe to complete a counter-lore!Everyone in the team felt a little unbelievable, and some people were even yelling, but soon the big screen above the court gave a slow-motion replay of the last shot, and everyone was silent. The goal, no timeout, no violation, nothing, only the counter-lore.

Everyone's minds are empty, the whole world seems to be very close, but also seems to be far away.When Ye Feng hit the three-pointer, the whole Blazers hugged each other excitedly, thinking that this counterattack might be the prelude to the championship.But they were careless. Even in the last 0.4 seconds, the opponent was unwilling to give up. Kobe, the guy with the strongest heart and the most determined willpower in the league, brought the Lakers to heaven at that moment, but kicked the Blazers back. hell.This can't be blamed on anyone. If anyone has to be responsible for this, then there is no doubt that it is all members of the Blazers, including the starters, including the substitutes, and including the head coach.

When he followed his teammates into the player tunnel, Ye Feng's tears finally flowed down his cheeks. Originally, he thought that he had saved the team, this round of the series, and even thought that he would be able to make it to the finals in his rookie season. He competed for the O'Brien Cup in the final, but the cold facts told him that being a hero is not so easy. If there is a slight mistake, the hero will become a sinner.He hated himself for not noticing Kobe's position, hated himself for not preventing the Lakers from turning his lore into a joke, and hated himself for not working harder to help the team build a bigger advantage...

When Ye Feng was complaining, Oden next to him poked him and motioned him to look behind.Ye Feng turned his head in confusion, a guy wearing a Lakers jersey was striding towards him, with the number 24 imprinted on his chest.Kobe?Ye Feng regained consciousness and looked at Oden suspiciously. He wanted to know why Kobe came to him directly. Shouldn't they stay on the court to celebrate reaching the Western Conference Finals?Auden rolled his eyes back at him, indicating that he didn't know either.No way, Alliance No.1 has something to do with you, do you still dare to go out?You have to save face both emotionally and rationally, even though they killed you just now...

Ye Feng shook his head, thinking if he didn't understand, he didn't want to, he wiped his tears fiercely, went straight to meet him, and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.But before he could speak, Kobe said first: "Are you going to the press conference? If you don't, let's talk?"

In fact, Ye Feng was definitely going to attend the press conference. Although it is a miserable thing to be killed by the anti-lore, the media doesn't care if you are miserable or not, as long as there is a hot spot.Ye Feng really didn't want to be sprinkled with salt in the past. Hearing what Kobe said, he was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Then you don't have to go to the press conference? It's not appropriate, right? You're helping The hero of the Lakers promotion."

Kobe smiled casually: "It's enough to have Phil sitting there, I still want to have a good chat with you."

If it goes on, it will become hypocritical, Ye Feng quickly agreed.Seeing Ye Feng nodding, Kobe signaled the staff on the side to lead the way, and the three of them came to a relatively remote reception room. The staff waited for Kobe and Ye Feng to enter the room, and quietly closed the door behind them. , and then stood at the door like a door god, preventing some blind guys from crashing in directly.

The reception room was small, but it had all internal organs. Kobe opened the small refrigerator in the corner, took out two bottles of sports drinks, threw one bottle directly to Ye Feng, and unscrewed the cap of the other bottle and took a big gulp.Seeing Ye Feng's bewildered look, Kobe smiled and asked, "Are you surprised why I have a private meeting with you at this time? Strictly speaking, we are tit-for-tat opponents."

Ye Feng let out a long breath, and said in a low voice: "I really feel very strange, especially after being counter-killed by you just now."

Kobe nodded and said: "On the court, we are our own masters, but off the court, we may not be friends. To be honest, it was Kareem who told me about you. He thinks that you will definitely be the top star in the league in the future. Although you are Chinese, you grew up in Los Angeles, not too far from the time I came here, so as soon as Kareem egged me on, I got interested in you, and I have to say you are doing a good job, really very nice."

Ye Feng knew that the Kareem that Kobe was talking about was Jabbar who had been to the UCLA Bruins training class, he didn't expect this legendary NBA superstar to have such a high opinion of him.But then he smiled bitterly: "I still lost this round of the series, didn't I?"

Kobe's smile was very gentle, not like the aggressive look on the court at all. He was silent for a while before replying: "I know you are very sad. When any player sees the victory that is about to turn into a failure, Maybe you are in the same mood as you. But you have to think about this series from another perspective. In my opinion, you have played very well in seven games, whether it is as a scorer or as a scorer. It doesn't matter if the organizers attack in series, as long as they are not blind, they can see the potential in you."

"This ball is just a moment in your career, it is not the whole of your career. You imitated Tracy's dry draw very tastefully, and the effect was not bad. You lost the ball, but it was only It’s just a loss. To a certain extent, you have entered the mainstream media’s field of vision. Well, if you have time, why don’t you listen to me tell my own story.”
