you are all star

Chapter 444 Kobe's Night

"Everybady, come on! We have no way out, are you ok?" Neil and his teammates returned to the sidelines. They had just taken water from the support team and were about to pour it into their mouths. Phil Jackson said solemnly and urgently. Look at Kobe, Malone, O'Neal, Gary Payton, Fisher and several starters.

"Ok~"

"The performance of the Pistons tonight exceeded many people's expectations, and our performance exceeded many people's expectations. At this moment, you should understand the status quo. The championship needs to collide with each other, and it does not mean that we are in the West. If you dominate, you can win the championship. At this time, the Pistons are one of the obstacles in the East. We must hunt tonight, otherwise the game against them in the future will be extremely difficult, are you ok?"

"Ok, we understand!"

"Understood, just show me the strength you should have, and step on the piston hard, because a good start is half the battle."

"no problem!"

"Okay, then let's arrange the tactics, and everyone gathers around to listen."

Phil Jackson paused for a moment, and after the players gathered around, he circled the offensive and defensive areas of each teammate on the tactical board with a colored pen, and continued: "Later, Shark and Malone will be in charge of the left and right corners. , Gary Payton and Fisher are in charge of the area diagonally opposite the rebound, and Kobe is in charge of the area facing the rebound, do you five understand your own area?"

"understand!"

"Then I will arrange tactics next."

"The Sharks and Malone waited for Payton and Fisher to cover the pick-and-roll for Kobe. When there was a dislocation opportunity, the two of you accelerated down from the left and right corners at the same time. After Payton and Fisher picked and rolled, they actively ran. Let the opposing player not be able to separate from you, and make preparations before the final attack. The next thing is to see Kobe. With his super singles ability, Kobe breaks through and cuts into the penalty area. He can choose to layup directly or split the ball. Assisting teammates, I don’t need to say much. I believe you can handle the last attack rationally. The last attack must run out of time before you can make a shot, and you can’t leave too many breathing opportunities for the Pistons. Do you understand your responsibilities? "

"Understood!"

"Come on, let's cheer together, cheer up, and win the game resolutely." The coach called on all the players in a sonorous tone, stretching out a hand with bulging veins.

"Come on! You must win, you must win..."

Just as Phil Jackson finished emphasizing the arrangement, the referee's whistle blew.

Kobe, O'Neal, Malone, Gary Payton, Fisher glanced at the score with their straight eyes, and glanced at Neal, Hamilton, Prince, Wallace, Rasheed, and took powerful steps , swept the five pistons with a high-spirited, swaggering aura. They originally thought that the five pistons would shake three times, but unexpectedly, the five pistons held hands and approached them in a united and free manner. Instead, they felt a little heartbeat accelerated.

As a loyal fan of the Lakers, I really can't get used to seeing the five tigers of the Pistons so manic in their home (Los Angeles), so they uttered their due voice: "OK to blow them up, this is our home, and outsiders are not allowed to be like this in our home." Manic, we want to win, we must win, come on, OK! Come on, Lakers!"

Although Kobe and O'Neal had a bit of trouble during the game, when the voices of the fans echoed in the arena, the two of them temporarily put aside their personal grievances, high-fived each other, and hugged each other lightly.

Kobe: "Brother, we want to win. I was wrong before. You are right. I should listen to you. Otherwise, at this moment, we would not be facing such a desperate situation. I'm sorry!"

O'Neill: "It's okay, I get it, let's do it!"

Kobe pursed his lips and smiled, patted O'Neal casually, took Fisher's serve, faced Neal's dancing interference defense, he passed the ball to Fisher without thinking, Fisher took the ball and approached Kobe actively , received the ball about one meter away from Kobe, passed the ball to Kobe, did not cover Neal for him, and moved quickly. It is extremely important, so it must not be missed.

In the face of the Lakers' ever-changing tactics, the Pistons were inadvertently brought into their misplaced tactics by the Lakers.

After Fisher lured Neil, Hamilton was even more difficult to deal with. Just when Kobe was having a headache, Gary Payton stepped forward to help, and used Fisher's method to lure Hamilton away. Kobe instantly His eyes lit up, and he waved his hand at his brothers. All the brothers ran at the same time, with a strong desire to attack.

Neal knew very well that Prince couldn't guard against Kobe and wanted to get rid of Fisher's entanglement, but he kept running around and didn't dare to let him go. He is also a dangerous person that should not be underestimated.

In the end, Neal chose to stare at Fisher, believing that the little prince could guard against Kobe.

When the fans saw that there were nine seconds left on the stopwatch, their excited hearts couldn't help jumping up.

Some fans with poor psychological endurance held their heads tightly with their hands, stared at Kobe without blinking, and asked themselves dubiously: "Black Mamba, can you let us witness a miracle?"

There are also some fans who can't rely on it, fearing that Kobe will miss the opportunity, they reminded loudly: "Kobe, shoot, shoot quickly... time is running out."

Afterwards, all the audience in the audience were expecting Kobe to kill the Pistons, and they all stood up and counted down the countdown: "Eight, seven, six, five..."

When the fans' counting echoed over the arena, the entire arena was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere.

In this game, Prince, who was misplaced by Kobe several times, was very nervous, but he has no way out now. Even if he fouls, he must commit it, try not to lose his position, and then obey God's will.

Kobe dribbled the ball through a wave of fast-paced hands swinging his body from side to side, with a large arc. When he noticed that Prince's hands and feet were uncoordinated, Kobe, who was dribbling with both hands, immediately changed to a one-handed dribble. He accelerated and stopped suddenly. , This trick is really invincible. Prince dodges more than one meter away, glances down at the three-point line with one foot on it, collects the ball coherently and quickly, steps back and makes a three-point shot.

After Prince was out of the way, he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and rushed up, but he was still a second late. The ball had already been released, but the ball did not touch, but it touched Kobe's fingertips.

In the short second between Kobe receiving the ball and the shot falling, the breath and air in the entire arena stagnated, and there was silence. Everyone's ears seemed to be deaf.

When the ball spiraled towards the basket in the eyes of all looking up, and then there was a click, the entire arena came alive from the dead silence. The audience raised their hands to cheer and applaud. With Kobe's name, he was awarded the MVP honor.

The five Pistons were lost, silent, and walked off the field without a sound. The fans booed and left the field. At the end of the game, Neal wanted to hug Kobe to greet him. Kobe couldn't get out, and was crowded by the media and reporters.

Neil firmly believes that there will be opportunities in the future. Although this night belongs to Kobe, Neil is not lost. He firmly believes that there will be a night that belongs to him.
