Legendary basketball manager

In the air, Kobe turned sideways slightly and used his body to push Westbrook away.

At the same time, he also completed a small pull bar with his right hand, avoiding Harden's block.

For ordinary players, after completing two moves of this difficulty in a row, it is not bad to be able to score the ball.

But Kobe, who is sitting on a peerless waist, pulled his stomach in the air and forcibly completed a dunk!

102: 105.

The point difference was narrowed to within one round!

The last 6 minutes.

Kidd carries the ball through half court and passes it to Terry.

The latter is at a 45-degree angle on the right, playing pick-and-roll tactics with Chandler.

The boxing champion's pick-and-roll is very strict.

Even if Kobe tried his best to stick to the defense, it was difficult to squeeze through the pick-and-roll for a while.

Seeing that Terry got rid of the defense, he made a sudden stop and made a mid-range shot after taking a step...

Gasol, who assisted in the defense, raised his long arms to form interference.

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket hard and bounced out of the frame.

Under the basket, Odom and Nowitzki took off at the same time, competing for rebounds.

Although Nuo Tianwang has an advantage in height, Odom has plenty of physical energy, bounces better, and grabs the rebound first.

Then, instead of passing the ball to the defender like a normal insider, he held the ball and advanced quickly.

With Odom's height and athletic ability, once he rushes up, it is difficult to stop him!

The generals of Mavericks also knew this well, so before it accelerated to the highest speed, Marion had already pounced on it.

Unexpectedly, Odom suddenly changed hands behind his back and dribbled the ball while he was moving, and he easily swayed past the defense.

After that, the last line of defense for the Mavericks is veteran Kidd.

Odom strode like a star, rushed to the penalty area with fire, and made an easy layup against Kidd's defense.

104: 105!

As soon as the goal was scored, the Lakers fans at the scene seemed to have seen the scene of a comeback, and stood up to cheer for the team.

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

.......

The entire arena was completely transformed into a sea of ​​purple and gold.

Amidst the sound waves all over the sky, the adrenaline of the players of the two teams was secreted crazily.

At this moment, they forgot their fatigue and pain, and devoted themselves to the "decisive battle".

The Lakers players are obviously the more excited side.

In the defensive round, Ci Shiping suddenly exerted strength.

In the process of Nowitzki's breakthrough, he suddenly shot out from the side, and then he stretched his hands forward and hugged the basketball.

Before King Nuotian could react, Ci Shiping twisted his body and pulled the ball into his arms with all his strength!

After completing the "robbery", he immediately handed the ball to Kobe.

His teammates are so good, Corvo will naturally not let them down.

Soon, the black mamba bared its fangs again.

He went all the way to the restricted area, turned around in an elegant way, passed between Terry and Kidd, and made an easy layup.

106:105, the Lakers completed the overtake!

This is not over yet.

In the next round, Terry used a screen to force his way to the basket and pass the ball to Kidd in the bottom corner.

But Kidd, who made nearly [-]% of his three-pointers this season, made an open three-pointer at such an important moment.

To make matters worse, the ball hit the side of the rim and bounced directly into Kobe's arms.

The Black Mamba immediately advanced with the ball and launched a counterattack.

Several veterans of the Mavericks gritted their teeth and quickly returned to their own half.

But because of the rush of time, there was a problem with their defensive positioning.

For a while, there was no one in front of Kobe!

Naturally, the Black Mamba would not let go of such an opportunity, and decisively shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

109: 105.

The Lakers extend their lead!

At this time, the end of the game, only the last 5 minutes left.

Mavericks coach Carlisle saw that the situation was not good, and quickly called a timeout.

When the players of the two teams walked back to the bench, a uniform slogan sounded in the audience:

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

......

These voices are naturally given to Kobe.

But Bryant did not make any response, and did not mean to celebrate at all.

He had a stern expression the whole time, unsmiling.

Fans who know Kobe know that at this moment he is completely focused on basketball itself, and no external factors can affect him!

Kobe's calmness is in stark contrast to the fans in the stands and teammates around him. It feels like "everyone is drunk and I am alone".

Seeing this scene, Shen Fei couldn't help but think of Hua Xia's words - those who have thunder in their chests and face as flat as a lake can worship the general!

It is no surprise that he has such a good performance against Kobe.

To Shen Fei's surprise... Nowitzki did not respond in time.

On the contrary, in the past few minutes, Nuo Tianwang was actually a little silent!

"It's up to you to play, don't let me down."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

As a basketball fan, he sincerely hopes to see a top-notch contest!

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

Meanwhile, the Mavericks bench.

Leading the whole game, but was overtaken by the opponent at a critical moment...

Such a situation made the Mavericks players somewhat uncomfortable.

But this group of "old boys" have experienced many battles, and have seen all kinds of turmoil, so they quickly adjusted their mentality problems.

Terry glanced at the cheering Lakers bench not far away, and a sternness flashed in his eyes.

"Look, let them have fun now, and we'll go up and kick their butts hard!"

He said lightly.

"But they are in full swing, we have to try to suppress this momentum!"

Chandler said anxiously.

"It's my problem that I didn't play well in the past few minutes." Nowitzki took the initiative to take the blame, and then continued: "Next, I will solve this problem. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can help me...help me Stop Kobe!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Marion.

As the best perimeter defender in the Mavericks, Marion is indeed the person most likely to stop Kobe!

"I can't promise too much, but I will do my best."

Marion said seriously.

He has already passed the age when his blood surges and he dares to say anything.

But if this kind of mature veteran said that he would do his best, he would definitely give 120% of his energy!

"Anyway, the offense is handed over to Dirk, and we can handle the defense."

Terry gave a conclusion simply and neatly.

Everyone nodded without any objection.

Head coach Carlisle smiled slightly, then took out the tactical whiteboard and began to lay out specific tactics.

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

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

While the Mavericks were discussing strategies intensively, the atmosphere on the Lakers' side was significantly more relaxed.

Ci Shiping, who had just completed a wonderful steal, was whispering to the backup guard Blake beside him with a smile on his face.

Although Bynum was facing Phil Jackson, his eyes were empty, apparently not listening carefully.

Kobe on the side saw everything in his eyes.

When the Zen master finished speaking, he said in a cold tone: "Now, put away your damn smiling faces!"

In an instant, the atmosphere on the bench plummeted.

The Lakers finally came to their senses and set their sights on Kobe.

"You don't think that this game will be won just like that?"

"Not to mention that we only lead by 4 points, even if we lead by 10 points, in the remaining 5 minutes, the Mavericks are still capable of making a comeback! We have no right to slack off at all."

Kobe looked around.

If eyes could kill, several Lakers players might have fallen.

"Don't worry, Bean, we'll get the game over."

"Next, I will continue to stare at Dirk and help Paul defend at any time. As long as I can watch Dirk to death, the Mavericks will not be able to make waves."

Ci Shiping put away her hippie smile and said seriously.

Seeing that everyone was no longer so relaxed, Kobe softened his tone, and said to Gasol: "It's not that easy. Paul, you have to be prepared, and you will encounter great challenges next."

Gasol nodded solemnly.

In the past two years, he has grown from a "sister-in-law" who was blown up by Garnett in the finals to a bullfighter with both skills and body.

Along the way, Gasol encountered many tough opponents -- Garnett and Duncan were all directly matched by him in the series.

Gasol is very clear that this year's Nowitzki is no worse than any power forward!

Especially at critical moments, German tanks tend to explode with greater energy.

Gasol's performance on the defensive end becomes even more important!

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

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The Mavericks serve in the backcourt.

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

Nowitzki fell to the low post and asked for the ball.

Gasol was afraid of Kidd's pass, so he didn't dare to use the defense around the front again, so Nuo Tianwang easily received the pass.

After receiving the ball, Nowitzki turned to face-up attack.

I saw him posing in a three-threat pose, trying to connect the points, intending to mobilize Gasol's center of gravity.

So far, the Lakers have no intention of double-teaming.

But when Nowitzki was about to launch an attack, Ci Shiping suddenly rushed to the low position, and together with Gasol, formed a momentum to encircle Nowitzki!

The German tank reacted quickly and immediately passed the ball to Marion who was emptied.

But the Lakers' defensive rotation was quick, Kobe switched defenses in place, and rushed to Marion in the first place.

Without hesitation, the hacker passed the ball to Terry again.

Fisher added, Terry made another pass...

After a few catch-and-passes, the opportunity finally arose.

Kidd receives a pass from his teammate and shoots an open [-]…

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

109:108, only 1 point left!

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Gasol handles the ball at the free throw line.

Bryant switched roles, aggressively moving off the ball.

Marion's concentration was high, and he followed Kobe's pace closely like a dog's skin plaster.

But the Black Mamba's ability to get rid of the ball is also a must.

I saw him suddenly speeding up while running, throwing off half of Marion, and rushing towards Bynum along the baseline.

[Is this going to block me with a pick-and-roll? ! ]

Seeing this, Marion immediately changed his route, planning to find another way to bypass Bynum directly.

Unexpectedly, when Kobe rushed behind Bynum, he suddenly changed direction and ran back to the right corner.

Gasol passed the ball the first time.

At this time, Chandler, who was originally guarding the penalty area, rushed towards Kobe without thinking about himself.

At this moment, the boxing champion exploded at a speed far exceeding that of the past, and actually took off to block before Kobe shot...

Unfortunately, he was still a few tenths of a second late.

When Bryant pressed his wrist and shot, Chandler's fingertip hit Bryant's finger.

Immediately afterwards, the boxing champion couldn't control his balance in the air because he rushed too hard, and directly knocked Kobe to the ground!

At the same time, the basketball arced through the air in a rainbow-like arc, heading for the hoop...

"Shu~"

"Beep!"

The sound of the basketball hitting the net and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

Three points scored, but also a penalty!

This is a 3+1!

"Roar!!!"

After a brief silence, the scene completely boiled.

"Kobe, you are my God!"

"My God, 3+1, is this still human?! Chandler is sealed to the tip of his finger, and he can still enter!"

"If it were someone else, I would think it was a dribble, but if it was Kobe's shot, I think it is very reasonable, hahaha~"

The Staples Arena completely turned into a sea of ​​joy at this moment.

Kobe, who was sitting on the ground, finally smiled at this moment, throwing his fist into the air in celebration.

When he walked to the free throw line, he was greeted by the sound of "mvp" as if the ceiling was about to be blown off!

Kobe withstood the pressure and hit the extra penalty steadily.

113:108, the Lakers instantly stabilized the situation!

Nowitzki gritted his teeth silently and ran forward.

Soon, Kidd passed the ball to his hands.

Ci Shiping still stepped forward to attack.

Nowitzki calmly distributed the ball.

After some conduction, this time the opportunity came to Terry.

After the Jets received the ball from the three-point line, a false shot swayed Fisher, who was assisting the defense, and took an emergency stop jump shot...

"Shu~"

The basketball is firmly in the net!

113: 110.

The Zen master on the sidelines raised his hands and made a special gesture.

On the next possession, Nowitzki caught the ball in the post again.

This time, Ci Shiping did not rush to help defend, but let Gasol deal with it alone.

Seeing that Nowitzki could play singles, he immediately launched an offensive.

After hitting the back twice, he shook his shoulder to the right, then turned to the left, and made a gesture to shoot.

Gasol was tricked and inevitably hit Nowitzki when he fell.

The whistle sounded immediately, and Nuo Tianwang completed his shot at the same time as the whistle sounded...

The ball hits the backboard and bounces into the net.

and. one!

"Yes!"

After the goal, Nowitzki cheered himself up in a low voice.

Then he faced the boos of the audience and made an extra penalty.

113: 113.

In the last 3 minutes, the two teams drew again!

The Lakers called a timeout.

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

After the timeout, Odom went into battle and replaced Bynum, who was doing nothing.

The Lakers attack.

After Odom broke through Nowitzki with the ball, he hit the ground with a freehand pass and handed the ball to the air-cut Kobe.

The Black Mamba spit out letters, and against Chandler's help defense, he pulled the bar and made a layup.

115: 113!

The Lakers took the lead again.

The pressure came to the Mavericks again!
