Legendary basketball manager

Generally speaking, big players seldom go to the ground to compete with smaller players.

First, the winning rate is not high, and second, it is easy to get injured.

But at this juncture, Nowitzki couldn't care less about the danger of injury, and threw himself at the basketball without hesitation.

Both he and Kobe only had basketball in their eyes and didn't notice each other.

As you can imagine, the two collided fiercely.

To make matters worse, Nowitzki accidentally crushed Kobe's right leg when he fell to the ground.

But even so, Kobe still wanted to win the ball, holding the ball tightly with both hands.

Nowitzki is in a similar state.

He was hit by Kobe and his head was buzzing, but he couldn't bear to let go of the basketball in his hand.

Seeing the other players of the two teams, they would swarm towards Kobe and Nowitzki.

Worried about an accident, the referee quickly blew the whistle in his mouth.

Scrimmage!

"shit..."

It wasn't until the referee stopped the game that Kobe reached out and touched his right knee, but there was no expression of pain.

"It's all right, Bean."

Ci Shiping hurried over to ask about the situation.

Kobe shook his head and raised his hands.

Ci Shiping pulled him up, and patted Chatter on the back: "It's good that it's okay, I was shocked, he's completely on your lap."

Just as he was talking, Nowitzki also came over and asked about Kobe's situation.

Kobe forced a smile, smiled and shook his head, saying that he was fine.

The game can also continue.

The referee walks to the free throw line with the ball and throws it high.

Nowitzki took off with all his strength and won the jump ball.

The ball was transferred to Kidd, and the Mavericks counterattacked!

In the fast break, Caron Butler took the lead and ran to the forefront.

With a flick of his wrist, Kidd made a long-distance ground pass and delivered the ball firmly to Butler.

"woo..."

This freehand and wonderful pass caused a burst of exclamation from the American Airlines Center.

Butler took three steps directly after receiving the ball, leaping high...

"BANG!"

After a powerful one-handed dunk, the score came to 32:19, and the Mavericks were only 13 points behind!

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Mavericks played a 7:0 shock wave.

This also made the fans on the scene excited!

However, the Zen master on the sidelines - Phil Jackson did not respond.

He looks at Kobe.

Kobe nodded at him.

Then, the game continued.

The Lakers attacked, and the ball was naturally handed over to Kobe.

Butler, who just completed the dunk, looked very excited.

His whole body was attached to Kobe's body, and he kept pressing forward with his chest.

Unexpectedly, when Kobe was pushing forward once, he used his strength to push forward, turned around and completed the extraordinary effortlessly.

Then he drove straight in, right into the heart of the calf.

Chandler quickly moved laterally to help defend.

I saw him jumping vertically, with his long arms raised high, like a moat in front of the basket.

But Kobe was not afraid in the slightest, and jumped vigorously, wanting to compete with the God of Heaven!

[This ball... can cap! ]

When Chandler saw Kobe's take-off height, he thought it was a joke.

But the black mamba suddenly changed his move, and the hand for the layup suddenly moved back...

The next moment, Gasol suddenly appeared from behind Kobe, caught the ball, raised the ball with one arm, and attacked the basket like a fire!

Chandler had just landed.

By the time he made his second take-off, Gasol had jumped to the top and dunked the ball toward the hoop...

"BANG!"

Sister-in-law's powerful one-handed dunk made the entire arena instantly quiet.

34: 19.

For the Lakers, this ball can be called hemostasis!

20 seconds later, Kobe made a comeback.

This time, after consecutive tentative steps, he directly pulled out his hand and hit a three-pointer!

After scoring five points in a row, the score became 37:19, and the Lakers once again stabilized the situation.

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

Kobe's performance also caused the Rockets players far away in Houston to discuss.

"Kobe is still steady... the previous ball, he completed 95% of the tasks alone, and Gasol just needs to get the 'finishing kick'."

"This goal is even more unreasonable. I can feel the despair of the opponent when facing Tracy."

Lowry looked at McGrady and said with a sigh.

T-MAC smiled when he heard the words, and it was a default.

"After watching these two games, I suddenly found that the more critical games Kobe played, the more reasonable he played! Some rounds, he may have shot himself in the regular season. But in the playoffs, he will do it most of the time. Make more reasonable choices."

George opened his mouth.

"Bean has always been like this. He knows too well how to win with a higher probability."

"You can take a look at the data sheet. In less than two quarters, Kobe has already grabbed 7 rebounds and 4 assists."

"Many people misunderstand Kobe, thinking that he can only score. In fact, his average assists per game in his career is among shooting guards, which is considered excellent. The number of rebounds in key games is also impressive."

Maddie talked eloquently.

People's misunderstanding of Kobe's "only scoring" is like evaluating T-MAC's "soft style of play", which is nonsense.

Kobe's independence often happens when his teammates can't help and the team needs him to carry the banner.

But in the playoffs, as long as his teammates are online, Kobe is 100% willing to pass the ball.

"Kobe is in this state, the Mavericks want to come back, it's a bit difficult..."

"The momentum in the second quarter was interrupted by Kobe just like that."

"If this is replaced by an ordinary team, the morale of the players will be lost, and this game may be explained."

Yao Ming shook his head and said.

The year before last, Dayao led the Rockets to challenge the Lakers in the playoffs.

Under the unfavorable situation, the Rockets used their lives to drag the champions of that year into the tiebreaker.

It's a pity that in the tiebreaker that year, Kobe played an incomprehensible performance, and also burned out the signs of the Rockets' counterattack several times.

So Yao Ming is particularly touched now.

He wouldn't be surprised if the Mavericks languished at this point and were crushed by the Lakers all the way to win the game.

"It depends on how resilient the Dallas people are..."

"They are very energetic this year. It can be seen that they really want to hit the championship. Let's see if they can adjust later and continue to chase points."

Ben Wallace concluded.

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

The Mavericks' counterattack did not appear soon.

In the next few minutes, the two teams were evenly matched, and the scores staggered.

Here the Lakers played a 5:0 spurt. The Mavericks quickly counterattacked with a 7:2 shock wave.

After all, the Lakers' feeling fell, and there were no sports goals for 3 consecutive minutes.

The Mavericks didn't seize the opportunity. Several attacks either hit iron or made mistakes, but they failed to narrow the score.

When the red light on the timer came on, the second quarter ended with the teams playing 65:48.

The Purple and Gold entered the second half with a 17-point lead.

After the start of the third quarter, the situation has not changed much.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately, but the point difference remained at around 17/8 points.

This situation continued until the end of the third quarter.

After three quarters, the score is temporarily fixed at 90:75, and the Lakers lead by 15 points!

Although 15 points is not too much, the problem is that the Mavericks have been suppressed since the whole game.

Every time they want to counterattack, they will be quickly suppressed by the Lakers.

Once is fine, twice is not a problem...

But three times, four times, every time.

At this time, not only the players, but also the fans in the stands couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

You know, the Mavericks still relied on Terry's ultra-long three-pointer at the buzzer at the last minute to narrow the point difference to 15 points at the end of the three quarters.

In other words, without this lucky three-pointer, the Mavericks would have been busy for a long time in the third quarter and would have lost the Lakers by 1 point in a single quarter!

But even so, the American Airlines Center is still packed.

No fans left the stadium.

Every Dallas person is waiting for a miracle to come!

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

During the intermission, the Lakers' bench once again had "laughter and laughter".

In this game, Zijin players have performed perfectly so far.

This also makes the players a little smug.

After Phil Jackson arranged his tactics, the game still had dozens of seconds to start.

At this time, an untimely voice sounded from the position behind the bench...

"The Mavericks have already been overwhelmed by us. If we persist for another quarter, we will be able to advance to the Western Conference Finals!"

Shannon Brown said with a smile, his face full of relief.

As soon as this remark came out, many substitute players smiled.

In their view, tonight's game fully reflects the gap in strength between the two teams.

[Once we give it our all, the Mavericks can't match...]

This is the true thought of many players at the moment.

"To shut up."

A cold voice sounded.

Naturally, it was Kobe who spoke.

He looked at Shannon Brown coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Brown lowered his head resentfully, not daring to say another word.

"Before the game was over, everyone tensed my nerves."

"The Mavericks will never give up. We must be prepared to face difficulties."

Kobe said solemnly.

All the Lakers nodded.

It's just that some people nodded seriously, while others didn't.

As experienced as Kobe, it is natural to see that who did not take his words to heart.

It's just that time is running out now, he can't help it, and he doesn't bother to say anything more.

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

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Just now, the Mavericks players listened attentively to Carlisle's tactics.

After the coach finished speaking, Terry turned his head to look at the Lakers bench, and happened to see Brown's hippie smiling face.

"Brothers, look over there."

Terry said with a smile.

The Mavericks will follow his gaze.

"They are very happy now and feel that we are settled."

Chandler's tone was low, even a little angry.

"It's okay, let them have fun, let's go!"

Terry yelled.

"Let's go!"

The players shouted in unison.

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

The time-out is over and the game continues.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the two teams made their main debut.

The decisive battle begins ahead of schedule!

Mavericks serve.

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

Nowitzki came out from the bottom line and came to the free throw line to get a position.

Odom's defense in the first three quarters was relatively successful, so the Lakers currently let him defend Dirk alone.

But this time, Nowitzki played very decisively.

After receiving the pass from Kidd, he immediately turned to the face frame, and shot directly after two tentative steps...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

90: 77.

In an offensive and defensive transition, Kobe singled Marion from the outside.

Relying on a series of butterfly-like dribbles, Kobe successfully shook his opponent away.

But when he accelerated his breakthrough, Marion blocked Kobe with his excellent lateral movement.

Kobe failed to make a breakthrough and collected the ball to pretend to shoot.

Marion was pointed up and fell on Kobe when he fell.

Strangely, the referee did not call a foul.

Kobe Bryant barely makes a shot when his center of gravity is unstable...

The ball bounced out of the basket.

The Mavericks protected the backboard and quickly launched a counterattack.

Kobe was about to go to the free throw line, but found that the referee didn't say anything, so he turned around and chased.

But Kidd's speed on the ball is extremely fast.

By the time the Lakers reacted, he had already passed the ball to Terry, who was about to play.

Jets take mid-range pull-up jumper...

Bingo!

90:79, only 11 points left!

Kobe was furious.

He walked towards the referee aggressively: "Did Sean not foul that ball just now? He violated my cylinder."

The referee spread his hands: "He has already tried his best to avoid you, and calling a foul is a bit far-fetched."

Kobe laughed angrily.

Do your best to avoid it, isn't it still not avoided?

But he stopped arguing with the referee and rejoined the game.

The Lakers' offensive round.

Kobe and Gasol run the pick-and-roll in the high post.

With the help of the latter's cover, Kobe got rid of Marion's defense, came to the free throw line and made a sudden stop jump shot...

hit!

92: 79.

Easy side to fight again, the Mavericks also played a pick-and-roll.

After Dirk Nowitzki screened for Terry at a 45-degree angle on the right, he quickly bounced outside the three-point line.

Terry broke through to the inside and scored the ball.

After Nowitzki received the ball, he raised the arc and forced a shot against Odom!

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

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

92:82, the Mavericks are only 10 points behind!

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

But he didn't immediately call a timeout, but let the players try to solve the problem on their own.

On the next possession, Kobe was double-teamed in the low post.

He jumped up and passed the ball at the first time, and handed the ball to Ci Shiping on the outside.

In this game, Artest's hands were so hot that he only missed 8 goal in the first 1 shots.

Because of this, he chose to shoot without hesitation after receiving the ball...

"Duang!"

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

Fortunately, Gasol relied on his long arm advantage, took off the offensive rebound, and scored the ball in the second attack!

94: 82.

But before the Zijin Army had time to celebrate, the Mavericks quickly sent the baseline ball and immediately launched a counterattack!
