Chapter 618 Pause
Xu Tian opened his arms and retreated to the backcourt in a gliding posture. After hearing the timeout whistle, he waved his arms up and down to interact with the fans.

Kobe and George also couldn't figure out Xu Tian's thoughts, and felt that he was as calm as ice one moment, and furious the next, which was really hard to judge.However, this does not affect the performance on the court, and there is no reason to interfere with the freedom of others.

Bryant didn't know if this was the last time he would play at the Staples Center, looked up and looked around the auditorium, trying to imprint the scene in the arena in his mind.Suddenly he wanted to understand one thing. Both he and Magic Johnson had been the star of the team for a long time, and they didn't want to participate in the management of the team.

He already has an answer to the question of whether to serve as the team's president of operations after retirement. With basketball by his side day and night for 20 years, he may be able to try some different life.

The whistle sounded for the end of the timeout, and Kobe dispelled the extra thoughts from his mind, returned to the court, and focused on the last few seconds of offense and defense.

James dribbled the ball up front, lowered his center of gravity, and let Tristan Thompson screen on the right side, looking for space to break through.

There are only two points left now and he needs to make sure he can score.

Xu Tian blocked James' breakthrough route, basically erasing the possibility of entering the penalty area, making James have to consider other offensive methods.

With the help of Love's cover, Irving ran to the top of the arc on the left without the ball and received a pass from James.He knew that the team was in a critical state, dribbled the ball and swayed, jumped on the right side and opened the distance with George, and made a difficult three-pointer!

The basketball hits the board and hits again!
105-106, 35.4 seconds!
Irving pulled the front of the jersey, and used Kobe's usual way of celebrating, roaring and celebrating the goal.

Shumpert was the most nervous player, holding Xu Tian with both hands, trying to restrict him from receiving the serve.After defending Xu Tian for five games, he has long known what kind of strength Xu Tian has. Apart from restricting the ball, he has no way to defend at all.

Xu Tian has already adapted to how to break the double-team, run away from Shumpert, and receive the serve from Josh Smith.

The Staples Center has returned to silence, only the occasional sound of music can give the players some boost.

Shumpert knew that his teammates would help him defend, so he bravely stuck to the defense, trying to do his best to limit Xu Tian's shots.In the previous few minutes, Xu Tian didn't miss a shot, and he really wanted to defend it.

Kobe and Xu Tian met eyes and immediately understood. The two connected and completed a classic pass and cut cooperation.

Love's defense speed is a bit slow, and his wingspan and athletic ability are not good enough. He really couldn't make up the defense and was scored an easy goal.

This kind of defense really has a little impact on the morale of the team.

107-106, 25.1 seconds!
Tai Lunlu saw Xu Tian and Kobe who were clapping in the retreat, biting their lower lip with their teeth, and really didn't know how to express their emotions with expressions.

James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and was immediately double-teamed by Xu Tian and Josh Smith.The scale of confrontation he received was so large that he had no chance to call a timeout.

Tyronn Lue paid too much attention to whether James would make a mistake, and never thought of calling a timeout. When he remembered, the ball James was dribbling had been intercepted by Xu Tian.

James' physical exertion was too great, and his reaction was not as fast as Xu Tian's. He failed to make a foul to prevent Xu Tiantui from counterattacking.

Xu Tian came to the frontcourt, took off easily, and completed the attack with an uncommon three-pointer!
If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!
Swish!
110-106, 15.3 seconds!
Xu Tian clenched his fists and waved them in celebration.The three-pointer is crucial this time, allowing the team to take the absolute initiative, so there is an unusual excitement.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout, but it seemed a little late.

James sat on the bench and asked Tylen Lue: "Why not call a timeout? Why not call a timeout?"

Tyronn Lue knew that he was too nervous just now and completely forgot about it, but he couldn't say it directly, looking at James with a serious expression and sweat dripping from his face, he froze in place.

James basically played the full 48 minutes, and a key mistake occurred at the last moment, which made him suffer a lot.The mistake just now was something that could have been avoided with a timeout, and Tyronn Lue didn't even expect it.

Such thoughts lingered in James' mind, making it difficult for him to breathe, and he had to take a deep breath to adjust his state.The game is not over yet, he cannot give up easily.

The round after the timeout was the Cavaliers' offense. Tyronn Lue replaced Shumpert and made JR Smith appear to increase the three-point threat.

The Cavaliers must score in this offense, otherwise the game will directly lose suspense.

Owen was defended by Xu Tian, ​​Kobe was followed by Love, and James was followed by Josh Smith and George, neither of which had room to receive the ball.

JR Smith was emptied, got the chance to catch the ball, turned around and saw that there was no defense in front of him, dribbled the ball to the three-point line, and directly pulled up to shoot.

White jersey No. 1 takes off, jumps sideways, and blocks JR Smith's shot to the right.

Kobe turned around and saw the brown-red ball flying sideways. Without hesitation, he jumped forward with his legs and hugged the basketball in his arms.

James flew over, trying to get a chance to jump the ball, but Kobe called a timeout ahead of time and protected the ball.

"Two timeouts basically made the game lose suspense."

James looked at the score and held the brace in his right hand.He was very depressed, but he didn't know who to get angry with, so he could only walk to the sidelines and listen quietly to Tylen Lue's tactical arrangements.

Now the situation is obvious, as long as the Lakers make free throws, the basic game situation is doomed.

Xu Tian walked beside Kobe and said to Kobe: "Kobe, I will go to the sideline in a while, and you are ready to catch the ball. This will probably be the last time you play at the Staples Center."

Kobe looked at Xu Tian with a firm expression, and concluded from his words that although he had heard countless trash talk, he believed in Xu Tian's words.

The timeout ended soon, and Xu Tian stood on the sideline to serve.

Kobe got rid of Irving's defense, received the serve at the top of the arc, and waited for the Cavaliers to rush up and foul.

Irving hugged Kobe, stopped the watch for a tactical foul, and bet that he would not make a free throw.

Xu Tian opened his arms and took the lead in shouting for MVP, driving all the fans to shout in unison.

The fans at the Staples Center didn't know what was going to happen, but they still followed Xu Tian and shouted MVP to Kobe who was standing at the free throw line.

Bryant's first free throw was affected by the cheers in the arena and missed.Adjust the mood for the second free throw and hit it!

111-106, 9.5 seconds!
The Cavaliers called a timeout and arranged a very simple three-point tactic.

James received the serve from the sideline and made a quick three-pointer from a long distance, but the bullet missed!

Tristan Thompson fouls Tyson Chandler while chasing for the rebound, sending him to the free throw line.

Time is running out, and the suspense is completely lost.

When the final whistle sounded, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers by a score of 112-108, captured Tianwangshan, led by a big score of 3-2, and took the lead in getting the match point.

A ribbon of purple and gold floated down above the Staples Center to celebrate Tianwangshan's victory.
