Chapter 216 Anti-lore
In the end, Zen master replaced the bench player. He believed that Kobe could solve any problem, and he had Odom beside him to provide support.Although Odom has nothing special to stand out, he can help Kobe in scoring, rebounding and assisting. With the two players as the core, Zen Master only needs to match some functional role players.

After the Timberwolves once again hit a corner three-pointer by Ellington, Jackson began to make substitutions. Fisher, Artest and Gasol all went off the court to rest, replaced by Farmar, Vujacic and Mben. add.Of course, their strength cannot be compared with the starting players, but their enthusiasm is even greater, and they each have their own unique skills and can contribute to the team in different aspects.Farmar's breakthrough is very sharp, Vujacic has a precise long-range shot, and Mbenga is responsible for protecting the basket.

This is already the best configuration Zen Master can come up with, and he believes that Farmar and the others can give Kobe and Odom more help.To the satisfaction of Zen Master, they immediately let the Lakers stabilize the situation after they came on the court. The burden on Kobe was obviously lightened, and with Mbenga sitting at the basket, Odom can be freed to do more. things.

Farmar's strong breakthrough made Kobe start to be an off-ball shooter with peace of mind. Few people know that he is also top-notch in this respect, but he still shoots in a circle surrounded by several people like an offense with the ball.Farmar's pass is not fancy, but it is very practical. His breakthrough points have enriched the Lakers' tactical play, and Kobe and Vujacic are both beneficiaries.

Zen Master did not expect the appearance of these three substitutes to be so effective. The Lakers quickly stabilized the situation and forced McHale to replace his substitute.If he continues to use the full main lineup to deal with the opponent at this time, it is unknown whether the main players will have the energy in the fourth quarter, and according to his habits, it is time to change at this time.

Xu Hao didn't actually feel tired, his physical fitness has always been the best in the team, but McHale completely ignored his request and still put him on the bench.In McHale's view, playing for a long time will cause irreparable damage to the body, which will affect the player's career to a certain extent, so it is necessary to rest when it is time to rest.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves' substitutes were pretty strong. Although the opponent still kept Kobe on the court, they did not allow the Lakers to even out the difference.The inside and outside combination of Sessions and Milicic contributed a lot. One of them kept breaking through or shooting three-pointers, while the other focused on screens and rebounds, and continued to maintain the team's offensive firepower. This performance also allowed McHale to cooperate. Not from ear to ear.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides tied at 74, which is completely acceptable for the Timberwolves. Anyway, they are the weak side, and there is nothing to be picky about entering the final quarter with this score.The entire Lakers team was just a little surprised. They withdrew their pride. The Timberwolves' performance deserved their respect in this game.

After re-arranging the tactics, the two sides had a tacit understanding to let the full bench lineup play a few minutes before the fourth quarter, and invariably began to replace players just over 4 minutes into the final quarter.In their view, now has come to the decisive moment, and continuing to keep the substitute on the field means that the opponent may seize the opportunity, and it is the turn of the main force to decide the outcome.

In fact, neither team is sure of winning at this time, but the Timberwolves players may have more confidence in comparison, because they have been performing well since the second quarter, and they have not let the defending champion open yet. gap, they are already able to be proud of themselves.The mentality of the Lakers is that they want to win and are afraid of losing. They don't allow themselves to lose to a rebuilding team like the Timberwolves, especially Kobe. As a master, he is also unwilling to lose to Xu Hao in a direct contest.

So after playing, Kobe exploded his own small universe, scoring consecutive points to help the Lakers take the lead.But Xu Hao was not to be outdone. At this time, he took out his ultra-long three-pointer again, and hit Kobe with two consecutive shots, completely losing his temper.But no matter who attacks, others have a tacit understanding to open up the space and let them one-on-one, which is very common in the NBA.

Kobe was naturally very excited, he is the kind of player who likes heads-up, but Xu Hao quickly got out of the heads-up, as a point guard, he is better at passing the ball to help his teammates score.However, Kobe still showed his super scoring ability at such a decisive moment. He was almost alone against the entire Timberwolves team on the court, and he did not fall behind.

The score of the two sides has been entangled until the last minute. Xu Hao took the lead in assisting Ellington to hit a three-pointer, but after looking back, Fisher also hit a three-pointer. The two sides are still at the same starting line.At this time, there are 1 seconds left before the end of the game. In theory, the two teams each have a chance to attack, and it depends on who can grit their teeth until the end of the game.

At this critical moment, Kobe showed his league's top defense. He and Artest teamed up to cut the ball from Love's hands abruptly and regain control of the ball.But this time the Lakers did not play a transition offense. Kobe kept holding the ball outside the three-point line to press the time. It was not until 8 seconds left in the offensive round that he forced his way into the three-second zone with the help of a screen.

This sudden situation made McHale's heart freeze to ice, but Jordan, who was guarding the basket, blocked the shot at the right time and directly knocked Kobe's layup out of the sideline. The ball still belonged to The Lakers, and their time is only 2.4 seconds left.Odom's sideline ball still found Kobe, but unfortunately this time, time was running out, and Kobe's shot hit the iron directly.

In the chaos at the basket, Gasol finally made up the ball with continuous jumps. This shot almost killed the game, because the time left for the Timberwolves was only 4.6 seconds, and they had no timeout, so they could only serve from the backcourt .

Zen Master would not create opportunities for his opponents either. He yelled for his players to defend a full-court press, but Jordan's serve quickly found Xu Hao, who had not yet succeeded in the double-team of Kobe and Artest. When he was in shape, he broke out and dribbled the ball all the way to the Lakers' half court.If you look down at the arena from above at this time, you will find that Xu Hao is like a magnet, attracting the Lakers players to gather towards him continuously, and they intend to kill the threat directly in the cradle.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Xu Hao pushed the basketball vigorously just after halfway through the court. Obviously, there was not enough time left for him to take the ball to the three-point line before making a shot.The moment Xu Hao made a shot, the audience was silent, and when the basketball was still flying in mid-air, the number on the timer had already reset to zero. If it goes in, it will be heaven, and if it doesn't go in, it will be hell. There is no third result.

After what seemed like 1 years, the orange basketball finally reached the end of its trajectory, and then plunged into the hoop!Seeing the basketball go into the frame as he wished, Xu Hao collapsed on the ground, screaming wantonly, this is really exciting!
