Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 242 0.4 Seconds

Under the boos all over the sky, Kobe's face sank, and he walked to the free throw line with his jersey in his mouth.

Steady free throw hits.

85 to 84, with 37.6 seconds left.

The Spurs attack and Duncan comes up to set a screen for Ginobili.

Ginobili broke through on the left side, but Wade was close to him, not giving him room to shoot.

Duncan split to the high post, Ginobili looked back at the moon and gave the ball to Duncan.

Garnett was closely guarded. Duncan feinted and didn't touch Garnett. He dribbled the ball with his left hand, forced Garnett to hit the inside line, and threw a left-handed shot.

The shot was too forced and missed, but Rasheed Wallace made it out, grabbed the offensive rebound and made a violent dunk.

The Spurs overtook the score, and Tianzun roared to the sky, with only 22.5 seconds left.

Zen master called the last timeout of the game, arranged tactics, and replaced Nene and Battier at the same time to open up space.

All the Lakers players stood up. The injured Malone left the ground with one foot, supported his old teammate Ostertag, and stood aside.

The Lakers served in the backcourt, and Prince posted it up immediately, marking Kobe.

Battier and Billups sink in the corners, Wade is on the weak side, and Garnett comes up to screen for Kobe.

The quality of the screen was very high, blocking Prince's footsteps. Kobe faced Duncan who was coming over from the defense, and after a change of direction, he rushed in from the right.

Ginobili, who was supposed to be defending Wade, came over to help defend immediately. Kobe seemed to have lost his shooting angle and was forced to the bottom corner.

Garnett rushed to meet him, Kobe forced to jump up, and under the crazy interference of the Spurs players, he passed the ball over. Seeing that time was running out, Garnett regained his small forward style of play, facing Prince's The defense came directly to a jumping fadeaway shot.

Prince tried his best to block the shot, but his height and wingspan were too short. He could only watch the basketball draw a strange arc. After hitting the board, he spun twice on the rim and fell into the net.

The two laps were separated by nearly one second, leaving only 0.4 seconds for the Spurs.

Popovich also called the final timeout and arranged lore tactics.

Turkoglu replaces Prince, who is tall and big, to serve the throw-in.

The Zen master replaced Billups and replaced Raja Bell who had no chance to play before.

Kobe stood in front of Turkoglu to interfere, Garnett clung to Duncan, Battier circled in front of Rasheed Wallace to defend the ball.

Parker made a full circle, with Raja Bell in hot pursuit.

The second one came out was Ginobili, who was at a 45-degree angle on the left. He turned around and shot immediately after receiving the ball, which happened to be the right position for a left-handed player.

But Wade followed him like a shadow, showing his terrible bullet speed. Although Ginobili's shot was fast enough, he was still touched by Wade, who jumped with all his strength.

The basketball changed its trajectory, the basket missed, and the game was declared over.

All the Lakers players immediately surrounded Wade, who contributed to the fatal block, and celebrated wildly.

Ginobili stared at the basket with his hands on his hips without saying a word.

Duncan came over, stroked his head, and said a few words of comfort.

After a bitter battle, the Lakers beat the Spurs 87-86, leading the total score 3-1.

科比砍下全场最高的32分，投进关键球的加内特14分18篮板6助攻，韦德得到13分。

Duncan had 28 points and 16 rebounds.

The next game will be played at the Lakers' home court two days later.

The team did not stop in San Antonio, and returned to Los Angeles immediately.

Malone was taken to the hospital as soon as he got off the plane for examination.The result was similar to what Gary Vitti predicted. He suffered a second-degree sprained ankle and needed to be absent for about 3 weeks. The only good news was that no surgery was required.

Jim was worried. Although he won two match points, everything was hard to say without Malone. Although the team has bright stars, it often plays on the court. It is the shortcoming among the five players. An obvious weakness will be caught by the opponent, and it will be pressed to the ground and ravaged.The weakness in the sidelines is the strongest point of the Spurs. In the last game of the last game, Nene still exposed the problem of inexperience. He paid too much attention to the ball and was robbed of the offensive rebound by Rasheed Wallace. lore.Campbell reached his limit after playing 5 minutes, and he couldn't hold it any more.

But at the press conference, Jim couldn't show any signs of frustration.

"The loss of Karl is a big blow for us, he is very important to the team, almost irreplaceable, but we will look forward, just like the last game, we have a lot of good players. Players, they will win the next game for Carl, I once promised to bring Carl a championship, and the rest of the team thinks so."

"Kevin's ability is unquestionable. He is a selfless guy. When there are other scoring points in the team, he doesn't care how many points he gets, but when he needs to stand up and score, he will not be soft. As for Germany Wayne, I still say that, this is just the beginning, and you will get used to it in the future."

The team had a day off and no training was scheduled.

In the fifth game, the Spurs put up a desperate lineup, relegated Prince, who had an extremely low offensive efficiency, to the bench, and Turkoglu was promoted to the starting lineup.

The Lakers lined up Campbell to mark Duncan in the opening stage, but the effect can only be said to be mediocre. The other 4 players of the Spurs are in good form in this game. Stepping on the edge of the cliff made them show their highest fighting spirit.

The Spurs' tactics are extremely simple. After Duncan attracts double-teams, he distributes the ball to the outside, and the time difference between hitting the Lakers is not double-teaming, just singles.

Popovich has used this kind of tactic of trusteeship for several years, but Duncan is so incomprehensible.

In addition, Kobe's sight seemed to be lost in San Antonio. In the first quarter, the Spurs led 27 to 18.

Back in the second quarter, although Billups hit two consecutive three-pointers and showed a tendency to come back, Rasheed Wallace on the opposite side also played the best performance in the series, and Garnett had to help a lot. In the case of Duncan, Roaring Tianzun made a big profit, turned over and shot a jumper with straight arms, followed up with a dunk, and shot a three-pointer from a long distance. .

After halftime, the Spurs scored 57 to 42.

The emergence of such a score can only show that there is a big problem with the Lakers' defense. The butterfly effect caused by Malone's absence has fermented in this game.

In the third quarter, Zen Master tried a new lineup, and Artest was ordered in a crisis, and was pushed to the fourth position to defend Duncan.

Although he suffers from height, Artest's weight and strength are not weak. In addition, his chassis is low and his hands are fast. For a while, Duncan was a little uncomfortable. At one point the difference was narrowed to 7 points.

But Ginobili, who was blocked by the lore in the last game, stood up again, scored a fairy three-pointer, and then made an offensive foul by Kobe.

The Lakers tried several times, but failed to reverse successfully, and finally lost the fifth game 91-98, and the total score was tied 3-2.
