Legendary basketball manager

Shen Fei took a brief look at the statistics of this match.

After the three quarters, Kobe only rested for 3 minutes, and currently played as many as 33 minutes, and he still stayed on the court as soon as the fourth quarter came up!

"Okay is still working so hard..."

Shen Fei murmured.

而在这33分钟的出场时间里，科比已经拿到了28分、5个篮板、3次助攻，在防守端还贡献了1个封盖和1次抢断，表现堪称完美。

But this kind of performance still failed to help the Lakers take the lead.

In addition to the mediocre performance of his teammates, it is also related to the fact that the Mavericks also have big shots.

Nowitzki currently played 27 minutes, got 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Shen Fei watched the second quarter before, so he knew that Nuo Tianwang's assists were basically passes after being double-teamed.

This means that he used his personal ability to change the Lakers' defense.

This is a huge influence!

In the fourth quarter, Nowitzki also appeared at the beginning.

The stars played for a long time - this is a clear difference between the 10s and 20s.

During this period, even super giants like Kobe and Nowitzki were not so "golden".

They rarely play more than 30 minutes in a game, and the rotation is a word outside the dictionary.

Perseverance monsters like Iverson have averaged 40+ minutes per game for several seasons!

"Come on, let's see if a healthy Kobe can change history."

Shen Fei looked at the phone screen, with some expectations in his heart.

If the Lakers can make it to the Western Conference Finals...then Kobe and Tracy McGrady, the former "four shooting guards" duel, are also very gimmick!

Of course, it is very difficult to beat this year's Mavericks.

This group of old cowboys chasing the championship dream has inestimable potential.

............

The fourth quarter begins.

The Lakers attack.

Fisher passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Kobe used the screen to pocket and opened his hands for the ball.

The old fish hurriedly delivered the shells.

Kobe catches and shoots...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

82: 80.

Half of the credit for this ball is due to Kobe's running and shooting, and half of the credit is due to the joint pick-and-roll of the inside twin towers.

Offensive and defensive transition, Nowitzki singles Gasol in the low post.

The two white insiders from Europe can be regarded as old opponents for many years.

Not only in the nba, but they often face each other in the international arena.

According to FIBA ​​rules, Dajia may be the better player.

But in the nba, Nowitzki is definitely a level higher than Gasol!

For this ball, the German chariot first used tentative steps to adjust Dajia's center of gravity, and then a false shot made the latter fly away.

Then, Nowitzki took a big three-step, against Bynum's defense up the ball, and at the same time caused a foul by the Sharks.

After the extra penalty hit, the score became 82:83, and the Mavericks completed the overtake!

After changing sides, Kobe hit Marion with a low back.

After several consecutive hits, the black mamba "freezes" the opponent by shaking his shoulders left and right, then turns over and leans back to make a shot...

Again!

84: 83.

Mavericks' offensive round.

Nowitzki was double-teamed by the Lakers after receiving the ball near the free throw line.

With a big wave of his hand, he passed the ball to Peja in the bottom corner.

The latter raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

84: 86.

The game entered a stalemate again.

The fierce competition also made Shen Fei's palms sweat while watching the competition.

"How do you watch the Rockets game without such a tense feeling..."

Shen Fei murmured.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the score came to a tie of 105, and the two sides drew again.

The Lakers attack.

When Fisher passed the half court with the ball, the Mavericks fans at the scene stood up and cheered for the players:

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

......

Amidst the deafening sound, Kobe ran back and threw away Marion, and came to the outside to catch the ball.

The moment he got the ball, Kidd suddenly came from the left side, and together with Marion, he made a sudden flank attack on Kobe.

But Bryant did not choose to pass the ball.

I saw him turning right, then lowering his center of gravity, speeding up to break through to the bottom line.

However, perhaps due to playing for too long, Kobe did not get rid of the defense.

Marion and Kidd followed closely behind, and they were about to force the Black Mamba out of the bottom line.

At the critical moment, Kobe forcibly took off, drifted laterally in the air, and shot backwards...

At the moment of the shot, half of his body had already flown out of the bottom line.

This is almost a shot from a negative angle!

But even so, the basketball still draws a rainbow-like trajectory and falls steadily into the net!

"woo..."

This ultra-difficult shot directly confused the fans on the scene.

Some fans even held the back of their heads with their hands, their eyes full of disbelief.

To be reasonable, the Mavericks' defense this time can be described as perfect!

Whether it's the timing of Kidd's double-team defense or Marion's follow-up defense, they are all impeccable.

But Kobe just can throw the damn basketball in it...

To achieve the ultimate, but unable to prevent the opponent from scoring, this is probably the most helpless thing for a defensive player!

107:105, the Lakers lead by two points.

Offensive and defensive transitions, Kobe and Fisher switched defenses, let the old fish go to mark Terry, and he went to defend Kidd.

This change of defense really achieved a miraculous effect.

When Nowitzki asked for the ball in the low post again, Kidd found it difficult to find the right time to pass the ball under Kobe's close defense.

In desperation, he could only hand the ball to Terry first for transition.

Then, Terry also tried to deliver shells to Nowitzki.

But his intention to pass the ball was too obvious, and Artest, who was assisted in the defense, predicted the passing route in advance and completed the interception.

Artest immediately passed the ball to Kobe, and the Lakers counterattacked!

In the fast break, Kobe single-handedly broke into the Mavericks restricted area.

The Mavericks will all agree that he will complete the end by himself, so they rushed to Kobe.

But in the blink of an eye, the Black Mamba made a "snake spit out the letter", and passed the ball to Gasol who followed up without looking at anyone.

After the Spanish matador received the ball, he raised the ball with one arm in his right hand and rushed to the basket like a fire...

"bang!"

After a powerful one-handed dunk, the score came to 109:105.

The Lakers lead by 4 points!

At this time, there is only one minute left before the end of the game.

Mavericks coach Carlisle quickly called a timeout.

............

Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, was also impressed after seeing the successful defense of the Lakers.

If you can't guard Nowitzki, then don't let him catch the ball. This is indeed a good way.

Among the Mavericks, Kidd is undoubtedly the one with the deepest passing skills.

If he can cut off his connection with Nowitzki, the German tank will be weakened invisibly.

"Phil Jackson really has something..."

Shen Fei sighed.

At the same time, he also began to think about how the Rockets should respond if the Lakers really beat the Mavericks and changed history.

Fisher, Kobe, Metta World Peace, Gasol, Bynum, plus the super sixth man Odom on the bench...

The Lakers seem to be more luxurious than the Mavericks in terms of lineup configuration.

And if Kobe can stay healthy, the threat he brings will not be weaker than Nowitzki.

Maybe, the Zijin Army can pose a greater threat to the Rockets than the Mavericks!

Shen Fei was thinking, the game has restarted.

After the timeout ended, the Mavericks changed their offensive strategy.

Nowitzki was no longer limited to asking for the ball in the low post, but played a pick-and-roll with Terry outside the three-point line.

Relying on Nuo Tianwang's containment force, Terry suddenly became unguarded after the pick-and-roll.

As the Mavericks' second scorer, Terry will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

He took a decisive pull-up jumper shot...

bingo!

109: 107.

Last 40 seconds!

The Lakers attack.

Bryant dribbles the ball directly from the backcourt.

After halftime, he lowered his center of gravity, watching the Mavericks' defense while paying attention to the time on the timer.

Marion lowered his center of gravity and stood ready.

This round is crucial!

If the Lakers score, they will take away the victory from Dallas with a high probability.

If the Mavericks defend successfully, they have a chance to complete the reversal!

In this way, the time passed by seconds, and when there were about 24 seconds left in the 10-second attack time, Kobe moved!

He "slowly" dribbles close to Marion, then suddenly accelerates to start.

Marion immediately moved laterally to block.

But Kobe's first step was quick, and Marion didn't completely block it, so he could only follow closely from the side.

The two wrestled to a place within one step of the three-point line.

Kobe saw that Chandler was guarding the inside line, so he gave up breaking through the attack frame, but slowed down and turned to dribble with his back.

Marion thought it was going to be "hand-to-hand" confrontation again.

But Kobe suddenly turned around and passed him neatly.

Marion was startled, and hurriedly chased after him.

But the next moment, Kobe made an emergency stop and shot a jumper...

Marion slammed on the brakes, but it was too late to interfere.

"Shu~"

The basketball was hollowed into the net, brushing the net upside down!

111: 107.

Only the last 20 seconds left!

Carlisle had no choice but to surrender the last timeout.

So far, they can only rely on the last three points!

After the timeout ended, Kidd served from the sideline of the frontcourt.

The Mavericks will move according to the tactics. In the end, the opportunity came to Terry.

Under the cover of teammates, the Jets got rid of Fisher's defense and received a pass from Kidd at a 45-degree angle on the right!

While catching the ball, he bent his knees and raised the ball, ready to shoot.

The defensive Gasol raised his long arms and flew to block...

Unexpectedly, Terry took the ball back in the blink of an eye.

After Gasol hit him, Terry lost his center of gravity and completed the shot...

But in the next second, the toss, which seemed to be a foul, magically jumped into the net!

Three points scored, but also a penalty!

The entire American Airlines Center boiled instantly, and the expressions of the fans changed from despair to surprise, and finally to ecstasy.

After seeing the ball scored, Terry also stood up like a carp and jumped up excitedly.

The rest of the Mavericks rushed to Terry to celebrate with him.

Thirty-year-old men, including Nowitzki and Kidd, were as happy as children at this moment.

On the other side of the field, Kobe stared coldly at the Mavericks players in celebration with a dark face.

The cooked duck is about to fly!

For ordinary people, the mentality may be out of balance.

But Kobe didn't, his eyes remained firm, and the ferocity on his face was more of anger at the failure of the defense.

After the celebration, Terry walked to the free throw line.

Kobe whispered something as he passed by him.

Terry immediately looked up with a puzzled expression.

Shen Fei saw this scene through the screen, and immediately realized that Kobe was playing psychological tactics.

In the playoffs between the Cavaliers and Wizards, 1.0 Zhan also said before Arenas made a free throw: "If you don't make a free throw, I will end the game."

As a result, Arenas, who has always been known for his big heart, actually missed a key serve. In the end, the Wizards were also eliminated by the Cavaliers.

It can also be seen from this that when you step to the free throw line at a critical moment, you want to bear far more pressure than usual.

At such a moment, if there is any uncertainty in the heart, the ball may be missed due to the interference of the opponent's words.

Shen Fei was also very curious about whether Terry could withstand the pressure and score this crucial goal.

............

After receiving the basketball from the referee, Terry placed the ball to his side and took a deep breath.

At this time, the American Airlines Center became silent.

The fans held their breath, fearing that any noise would affect Terry's free throw.

After Terry adjusted his breathing, he dribbled the ball three times and shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

111: 111.

With 15 seconds left in the game, the two teams drew again!

Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout and arranged the tactics for the final attack.

During the meeting, he also replaced Bynum and replaced him with Steve Blake, who made 37.8% of his three-pointers this season.

Soon, the timeout ends and the game continues.

Ci Shiping walked to the sidelines, ready to serve.

The Mavericks fans at the scene all stood up and once again shouted the uniform slogan:

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

......

This time the noise was louder than ever before.

The 10 players on the field could no longer hear any words at all!

The Lakers will stand in a row along the free throw line according to the tactics...

Starburst Tactics!

When Ci Shiping took the basketball from the referee, the four Lakers suddenly dispersed.

The Mavericks' defensive players are highly focused.

Two of the best defensive players - Marion and Kidd, defending Kobe and Fisher respectively, vowed to lock up the two key players of the Lakers.

But they still underestimated Kobe's ability to get rid of the ball.

I saw the black mamba suddenly stop and start, which confused Marion, and then suddenly ran back, successfully throwing the latter away.

Seeing this, Ci Shiping quickly passed the ball.

After receiving the ball two meters from the three-point line, Kobe put the ball on the left side of his body and waited quietly for the time to pass.

For this attack, he must wait until the last moment before making a move.

In this way, even if the ball cannot be thrown, the Lakers can remain undefeated.

Bean-big sweat kept slipping from Kobe's forehead.

Since the fourth quarter, he has not rested for a moment.

Under such a high-intensity game, even Kobe, who is known as a physical monster, can't bear it.

He lifts the collar of the jersey with his right hand and grabs it in his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Marion, who was defending Kobe, couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

[What is this for?Are you pretending to be cool? ]

[Isn't it appropriate?At such a critical moment, you still want to pretend?You are Kobe! ]

Countless doubts flashed in Marion's heart.

Seeing this scene, Shen Fei smiled slightly.

As a time traveler, he is one of the few people who knows why Kobe wants to hold his jersey.

It's not about being cool!

Bryant later explained in an interview that it was a trick his father, Joe Bryant, taught him.

Under high-intensity games, the jersey will inevitably be soaked in sweat.

Holding the jersey is to use your sweat to replenish energy!

Of course, Shen Fei didn't know whether this approach was scientific.

Soon, when there were only 6 seconds left on the offensive clock, Kobe moved!
