Chapter 388

With Kobe's consecutive hits, the Lakers clenched the point difference tightly, and the game was in dire straits.

After halftime, the Clippers still led by [-] points. They returned to the locker room to rest for a while, and then returned to the arena to fight again.

The Lakers also returned early, started shooting drills early, and shortened halftime for this purpose.

Although there were a lot of fun singing and dancing or acrobatic performances, the audience did not feel irritable. Instead, they tried their best to cheer for the Lakers, making the shooting warm-up feel like playing a game, and the TV station simply broadcast the training screen live.

For such a grand scene, James Worthy said excitedly that Los Angeles fans will always stand with the Lakers.

In this way, the third quarter started amidst the high expectations. The firepower of the two teams remained undiminished, all kinds of subtle cooperation emerged endlessly, all kinds of aggressive shots appeared frequently, and all kinds of mistakes came unexpectedly. You came and went to attack and defend. war.

While the fans cheered and booed, there was no quiet moment at Staples Center.

By the end of the third quarter, the Clippers were still leading by [-] points, and the two teams then sent a second team to face off.

Odom and other Lakers players, who played poorly in the second quarter before, seemed to have completed the super evolution from Digimon, and there was no such thing as extremely low scoring efficiency, so that the Clippers played with normal efficiency, and the point difference was gradually narrowing.

After hitting, Omdo hit another shot, and the Lakers officially overtook the Clippers 92 to 91.

Van Gundy had to request a short timeout to make adjustments, and at this time there were 7 minutes and 21 seconds left before the end of the game.

Su Yang played according to the rotation plan, George appeared with him, and the Lakers also sent Kobe and Paul again.

The central large screen simultaneously shows the comparison of the players of the two sides, and the two teams enter the final stage of the main showdown.

"Defend, defend..."

Before the Clippers kicked off, the Lakers fans had begun to shout in unison, and the sound waves poured from all around the arena to the court.

The referee stood still with the ball on the bottom line, raised his hand to indicate that he was ready to catch the ball, and then gently threw it to Jordan.

Su Yang reached out to take the basketball, turned around and dashed a few steps, looked up from the center line, and found that the Lakers tended to double-team
While thinking about it, he took the ball and ran to the top of the arc. Seeing the three Lakers players surrounded him, he suddenly dropped his shoulders and started to break to the right.

With such a move, the three Lakers players hurriedly shrank to encircle, leaving only a slight gap in the blink of an eye.

Su Yang stopped abruptly and stood still, leaning on Barnes sideways, raising his hand and shaking behind his back, and staged a ground pass.

boom!The basketball rebounded and flew to the left elbow, and at this time George happened to make an air cut and rushed there.

Boos suddenly exploded from the audience, George bent down to pick up the basketball, stood up and kicked off the ground, and threw a throw at the board against Gasol.

when!The basketball hit the rear basket, rebounded and fell into the net, and the Clippers re-overtook 93 to 92.

"What happened to the Lakers just now?" James Worthy looked puzzled, "Didn't they give up double-teaming Su Yang before? With Su Yang's excellent passing ability, and the high shooting percentage of the other Clippers, the double-teaming is almost double-teaming." It's like giving points!"

"Who knows?" Mark Jackson shrugged slightly, "Maybe someone came up with the idea suddenly."

The offensive and defensive transitions on the court, Kobe pushed the ball forward from the bottom line ahead of time, and waved his hands again and again to arrange tactics.

Su Yang stopped at the center line and waited. Seeing Kobe approaching, he spread his hands to interfere, and stepped back slowly in small steps.

"Cover, cover..." Little Jordan's voice suddenly exploded, and his tone was quite anxious.

Hearing the sound, Su Yang realized that it should be Gasol who lifted the wall to cover, and immediately turned sideways to block the space on the left side, actively leaving the space on the right side for Kobe, and then grasped the defensive initiative. Can squeeze cover.

Without hesitation, Kobe dropped his shoulders and made a breakthrough to the right. He reached the three-point line in three big strides, and suddenly threw a long pass.

The basketball flew straight to Odom in the left corner, and Randolph, who was in charge of defense, was about to block Kobe under the basket.

Seeing this situation, George hurriedly ran over from the left wing to defend, but only halfway through, Odom passed the ball to him in the opposite direction.

The cheers erupted immediately, and Barnes received the ball on the left wing, took off steadily and shot a wide open three-pointer.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Sighs broke out, but who would have thought that Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound, landed high and hit the board.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, 93 to 94.

Su Yang looked up at the big screen subconsciously, wondering why Jordan was not with Gasol, otherwise he would not lose rebounds.

The back-to-defense screen appeared immediately. It turned out that after Kobe passed the ball, he moved laterally and set up a wall to block Jordan.

"This off-ball defensive awareness is really strong..." Su Yang sighed in his heart, "If it is inferred according to normal logic, it should be that Kobe considered the possible situation of his teammates in advance and was willing to make contributions that would not be included in the statistics."

With emotion, Su Yang dribbled the ball to the center line. Seeing that Kobe was about to apply pressure, he immediately slowed down and moved sideways.

The two called back and forth to reach outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, and Jordan moved laterally to set up a wall as a cover.

Su Yang took the opportunity to dribble the ball towards the top of the arc. Jordan then turned around and cut in to create a threat of an alley-oop dunk. Kobe hesitated a little, as if he wanted to follow in and stay at the three-point line for double-teaming. He was pulled in the blink of an eye. distance.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang saw it, and immediately stopped and stood still, holding the basketball high and passing it to the paint area.

Jordan raised his hand to catch the ball at the same time, then turned around and rushed to the basket, facing Odom's lateral move to make up defense.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, and the referee called Odom to block the foul at the same time.

Little Jordan was delighted, but the referee gestured to indicate that two points would not count, because the foul was committed first, and only the second offense was executed.

Little Jordan was dumbfounded on the spot, and quickly explained that he had raised his hand to make a shooting action, and at least two free throws should be given.

The referee replied a few words, but Jordan was not satisfied, and chased the referee for an explanation, and the referee's expression gradually became worse.

Su Yang rushed forward to pull Jordan away, patted his back to indicate that it was nothing, just hit back for the second attack.

Little Jordan shook his head and sighed: "It should be 2+1 for three points, it's a pity..."

In a blink of an eye, the bottom line tactical formation was set up, the referee whistled the ball, and the five-second timer began.

Su Yang stood on the left baseline, looked up at the right half, and actually passed the ball to Jordan in the left corner.

With just a tilt of his head, Kobe lost the opportunity. Su Yang stepped into the field immediately, rushed to the bottom corner and raised his hand to catch Jordan's return pass. Dash toward the paint.

Kobe squeezed through the screen, also twisted his hips and cut in, and even took the lead to get inside the three-point line.

Out of the corner of Su Yang's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Kobe's movement, and he stopped decisively to pull the ball and retreated, making a three-point shot in a one-step motion.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 96 to 94.

"Isn't this just a three-pointer?" Su Yang smiled at Jordan and slowly stepped back to defend.

Little Jordan gave a thumbs up to show that he was awesome. Between coming and going, the Lakers gave a foul for nothing.

In the transition between offense and defense, Paul ran across the center line with the ball, scanning left and right to observe the position of the half court.

At the same time, Gasol ran to the top of the arc along the middle, and Barnes ran to the right to the 45-degree three-point line.

Perhaps it is because the Lakers' formation has not yet been settled, and the Clippers are not in a hurry to put up a defensive posture.

That thought, Kobe suddenly started with heavy shoulders, and went straight to the 45-degree three-point line from the bottom corner on the right.

Su Yang hurriedly started to catch up, but the 45-degree position was delayed by Barnes' wall, and George was not ready to switch defenses.

In desperation, Su Yang bypassed the cover to chase, but was delayed by Gasol at the top of the arc.

Little Jordan reacted, and quickly put on a delaying posture for the grab, but Kobe took the ball and took a step around, and directly pulled it out.

Boom boom boom!The basketball hit the circle and bounced back and forth, and finally fell into the Nets. The Lakers overtook 97 to 96.

Cheers rang through the Staples Center, and Worthy clapped his hands excitedly: "Everyone, the battle has just begun..."

　Happy New Year!I wish you all the best of luck in accomplishing your goals.
