Chapter 193: Defeat
Lamar suddenly stood up at this time and said to Phil Jackson: "Phil, please let me play!" Anderson is still a little worse, can't prevent little O'Neal, even if we are doomed to lose this game, I would rather fight to the death. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Phil Jackson looked at Lamar now, as if he saw his own disciple in the red No. 23 uniform in the heyday of the Bull Dynasty, they had the same strong spirit, never give in in the face of difficulties, single-mindedly chasing victory, even if they were destined to die, they had to fight until the last moment.
"Okay! Do what you want! I don't care about the outcome of this game, because I've got something more valuable, Lamar! I'm proud to be your coach!"
Lamar smiled: "Thank you!"
With two minutes left in the game, Lamar returned to the pitch for an exhausted Anderson, who walked straight in front of Shaq.
"Shaq! cheer up, you're an all-powerful shark!
Shaq was stunned for a moment, and then nodded blankly, his heart was full of unwillingness, he also hoped to use his own hands to save the team and lead the team to win the game, but today's cold hand made him seem a little powerless. But is there really no way to score? No, or is he lazy, and he doesn't care a little about the outcome of this game!
Lamar took the baseline ball from Shaq and rushed forward with the last bit of strength.
Lamar made a hint to Kobe, who smoothly used the pick-and-roll to catch the ball, and the defender became Reggie Miller.
"Don't you still admit defeat?" Reggie Miller playfully looked at the cold Kobe Bryant in front of him, and he couldn't retreat at this point in the game.
Besides, Miller couldn't help but want to weigh Kobe, who is known as Jordan's successor, how many pounds and taels he has.
Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball slowly, but the momentum that erupted from his body was like a wild beast, ready to open his bloody mouth and bite off the opponent's neck.
"I never admit defeat until the end of a match. β
"Very good!" Miller was actually a little excited and relieved at this time, he felt that he had finally found a good opponent after Michael Jordan retired, with superb football skills and never admitting defeat.
You read that right, Miller is like this, when he is strong, he is strong! In the face of Jordan back then, he never retreated and surrendered, except for Jordan, he really never lost to anyone, including those hot big stars in the league now, "Then, come on!"
"As you wish!" Kobe Bryant suddenly moved, his short body slammed directly into Miller, and at the moment when the two people's bodies were about to touch, he left Miller behind him with a turn that defied the common sense of physics.
Miller didn't give up, he hadn't been so excited for a long time, turning around and leaning against Kobe's body to make a final effort, looking like he was back in his youth, and his movements were still so agile and fast.
Kobe Bryant doesn't have time to do more tricks now, and he just wants to solve the battle in the simplest way, and the physical exertion is not talking about at this time when the game is played.
O'Neal Jr. also pounced, standing under the basket and guarding the last portal, and if he wanted to attack the basket, he had to cross his barrier.
"Kill them. Kobe!" Lamar suddenly shouted.
Kobe jumped, as he had done countless dunks in the past, raised the ball high above his head with one hand, faced O'Neal Jr., and flew towards the basket, he had forgotten his fatigue, and his movements were still so elegant, so chic.
O'Neal Jr. and Miller also jumped up, but even if they tried their best, they couldn't reach the basketball in Kobe's hand, so they could only helplessly watch the basketball gradually fall down with his hand.
"Boom!"
The basketball hoop made a loud noise, followed by a constant shaking, like a trembling of fear in the face of a strong man.
"Beep !!"
The referee's whistle sounded out of time, and everyone's attention was on the referee's hand, and that would make the difference! If it's a defensive foul, then the Lakers still have hope, and if it's an offensive foul, then everything will be over.
"Yellow No. 7 blocks a foul, two points are valid, and one free throw is added. β
The referee made the final decision and dragged the Lakers back from the edge of the cliff, and to their surprise, the Pacers players and fans in the entire arena did not have any objections to this general law and accepted it calmly.
Lamar walked over, patted Kobe Bryant on the shoulder, and then hugged Kobe Bryant and said, "Brother did a great job!"
Bryant struggled to squeeze a smile on his face and said, "Lamar! There's no next time! I feel like this time is my limit! I don't think I can do it again." β
"Okay! You're Kobe, you have to be confident! Now get the ball in and let's go home with a win!"
Kobe Bryant responded with a smile: "As you wish!"
Take the ball thrown by the referee and hold it high above your head.
In the end, the Lakers still failed to win a game with the Pacers, although after Lamar hit a two-and-one game, Lamar hit another three-pointer to stretch the gap to 2 points, but still could not block Miller's three-point shot in the final moments, and finally could only end up hateful and return to Los Angeles with a loss.
On the plane back, Lamar didn't say a word from beginning to end! He sat alone in the corner, feeling very self-blaming, hating himself from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for his distraction at the last moment, if it weren't for his late change of defense, Reggie Miller would not have had a chance to kill.
It was late at night when the plane arrived in Los Angeles, and tomorrow they will face the Los Angeles Clippers on their home court.
This is also a very important game, the same city derby, the Lakers have to prove to the fans around the world that they are the king, the only king of Los Angeles
"Boys, remember we have a big game tomorrow, and if you don't want to go to Christmas with the disappointment of two straight defeats, you'd better keep that thing in your crotch tonight! Phil Jackson announced the dissolution after he finished speaking.
Lamar was just about to get in the car when he heard Shaq calling him behind him, and Shaq wanted to say something to him on the plane, but at that time Lamar's mood was terrible because of the team's defeat, and he was not in the mood to chat at all.
"What's the matter? β
Shaq walked up to Lamar, muttered for a moment, and said, "Lamarγγγγγγ! You've done well enough tonight, you don't need to blame yourself, in fact it's me who should blame yourself, I didn't do my duty as a leader, I played badly in this game today!"
Lamar was a little surprised to hear these words from Shaq's mouth, with his understanding of Shaq, Shaq is a person who will never give in, even if he blames himself in his heart, he will not say it, he will only prove himself again with the performance in the next game.
Lamar shook his head and said, "No, Shaq, I'm not fighting with you to take any responsibility, I just think that if I hadn't been distracted at the last moment, or even if I had changed guards at the last moment, the outcome of the game would have been different, but in the end I just stood there stupidly like an idiot!"
"Lamar!" Shaq interrupted, "if that's what makes you feel guilty about that, then it's easy, you just have to beat that Humpty Dumpty for me in tomorrow's game against the Clippers." β
"Does it matter?" Lamar was a little puzzled.
Shaq smiled: "Of course! just find someone to vent your inner depression!"
After saying that, Shaq got into his car and left, leaving Lamar, who was still confused, standing in place and thinking about the meaning of Shaq's words just now, is this really useful?
When they got home, the lights in the living room were still on, and Kim and Khloe knew he was coming back and were waiting for him at home. Anderson has already gotten his first week's salary and moved out!
"Honey!" Kim waited for Lamar to give a big hug as soon as he entered the door, and his mouth kept comforting, "Don't be sad, you look terrible now, it's not a big deal, it's just a game, you still have a lot of opportunities to win this season, don't let yourself live in the pain of defeat." β
Lamar let go of Kim, walked over to the sand and sat down: "Kim, you don't understand the matter, I lost today's game, and I have a lot of responsibility." β
Kim sat down next to Lamar and snuggled himself into his lover's arms: "Don't say that, although I don't know much about basketball, but I know that basketball is a five-person sport, since victory can be shared by five people, then defeat must also be the responsibility of five people, don't embarrass yourself too much, you know I will be sad to see you lost." β
Lamar didn't react to King's words: "I'm a man, Mr. Phil Jackson has given me the heavy responsibility, I haven't done it well, that's my problem, I'm not even to the point where I can't even take this responsibility." β
"But I just watched live TV and I think you did a good job, you scored a lot of points, and if it wasn't for your great performance in the third quarter, your team would have lost more. β
"But that can't hide my embarrassment at the last minute! Kim! You still don't understand basketball!"
Kim smiled, hoping that her smile would make Lamar feel better: "Of course I don't understand, but I believe that my Lamar is a smart man, and my Lamar will definitely recover quickly and then get stronger on the court." β
Lamar looked at the gold in his arms, especially her beautiful smile, and his mood was indeed much better. If when he first decided to date her, he was just impulsive, and then he was infatuated with her peerless figure, then now he is really in love with this woman, when a man returns home after failure, what do he want most? It is undoubtedly the warm embrace and comfort of the beloved woman, from this point of view, Kim is indeed a qualified girlfriend, she knows what her man needs now.
"Kim! Thank you!" (To be continued.) )
