Kobe Bryant is not in a hurry at the moment, he is waiting for an opportunity, and he doesn't want to play in overtime, because he knows very well that he can't hold on anymore. The little physical strength that he had recovered was also lost in the process of the fierce offensive and defensive transition just now, and if the game was dragged into overtime, he could only be slaughtered.

Battier struggled to make his defense look tighter, as Alan Houston had to guard against Sprewell's three-pointer, and now he was the only one standing in front of Kobe.

According to Chauncey's previous explanation, the distance between Bai and Kobe Bryant is narrowing little by little, and only the smaller the space left for Kobe, his threat can be smaller.

Bryant certainly knew what Battier was playing, and his eyes were on Battier's feet, and the opportunity he was waiting for was there.

Finally Kobe Bryant acted, and at the same time as Battier took a small step, Kobe took advantage of the moment when his center of gravity shifted and decisively chose to break through.

Lamar was shocked to see Kobe moving, and tried to move over to help defend, but almost tripped over Cotter Thomas's foot.

In the moment of Lamar's pause, he lost his best chance to help defend and could only watch as Bryant jumped calmly past Battier and threw the fatal shot.

The moment the basketball broke the net, the Staples Center arena immediately remembered the loud cheers and the roars of the Lakers players. With just 2.7 seconds left in the race, they felt the game was a certainty.

Only Kobe Bryant and Shaq didn't dare to be careless, you must know that Lamar has created miracles before, and that is done in a fraction of a second.

At this time, Jeff Van Gundy also acted, decisively called the last timeout, and began to lay out the plan for the last shot.

"Lamar!

Before Jeff Van Gundy could finish speaking, Lamar interrupted him: "Needless to say, coach, give the last shot to Alan Houston! The Lakers will definitely adopt a trap tactic against me, they really know me too well! Allan feels it today for all to see, I believe him!"

"Alain, if you don't have faith in yourself. Then I'll leave the game to me!"

"Lamar, don't worry, I'm not a vegetarian either!"

Jeff Van Gundy nodded, and then began to line up the other players' moves. After predicting all the possible scenarios, Jeff couldn't help but ask Alan Houston a few words.

"This is the last chance, believe in yourself! Don't you always want the chance to prove yourself? Now the opportunity comes, do what you want to do! Believe in yourself, you can do it, just like you usually do every shot. I believe that no miracle can be called a miracle for you, and defeating Los Angeles is the best opportunity to prove that your title of 'CIC King' is not in vain. Okay, go ahead! Bring back victory. ”

Last moment, last throw!

Everyone on the scene knew that the Knicks' last chance would definitely be given to Lamar to complete, so all the attention was on him. The rest of the Knicks didn't seem to want to keep it a secret either, constantly running to cover Lamar and give him the best shots.

The ball was kicked out, and to everyone's surprise, it was headed for Alan Houston. There was a mess on the field for a while, and Kobe Bryant pounced at the first time.

Alan Houston leaned on Olajuwon's cover and took a big step towards the left three-point line after receiving the ball, landing his feet just outside the three-point line. He didn't have time to think about it, time was running out, he jumped up, and just as he jumped, Coatthomas, who had been on the inside, suddenly rushed out, screaming and pounced to block.

Time appeared in this moment for a short time, Alan Houston, who was in the air and was ready to shoot a three-pointer, Kobe Bryant, who was desperately raising his arms to interfere with Houston in the first line of defense, and Kote Thomas, who was like a fierce god behind Kobe. There is also Olajuwon and Lamar, who are entangled with Shaq on the inside.

The exact hand of the deer will soon be determined.

In the final minutes of the game, the Knicks finally made a life-threatening shot. Anyone can see the danger of this shot.

In order to avoid the joint block of Kobe and Thomas, Alan Houston could only lean back as much as possible and threw the ball out just before the red light came on in the final game.

"Smack!"

Before the final result came out, Alan Houston fell hard into the audience closest to the arena. The alert fans had already seen that something was wrong and hurriedly dodged, and Alan Houston, who had lost his buffer, smashed his whole body on the chair, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

A startled Jeff Van Gundy was just about to rush over to check on Houston's injury when Alan Houston suddenly jumped up to see the ball he had thrown.

It's just that fate played a big joke with him at this moment, or that it is enough to have a superhero on the field today, and there is no need for a second one! Houston and Lamar's Knicks are not destined to be today's saviors, and his role is only to set off the image of Kobe's brave fighter.

"Bang!"

The ball bounced off the basket and bounced to the side, leaving no room for reverie.

After a brief silence, the Staples Center Arena quickly fell into a burst of cheers.

It was just an ordinary regular season, but it meant a lot more to the city of Los Angeles, so what could be happier than defeating a rebel led by the traitor Lamar?

The moment Lamar saw that the basketball didn't score, he finally walked off the court, not only because of physical fatigue, but also mentally.

I don't know why, although he lost the game, Lamar felt a long-lost relief at this moment. He knew that although he had lost the game, he could calmly face his old club, former teammates, and fans who had abused him for fun, which made the Los Angeles Lakers complex that had always plagued him disappear without a trace.

Now that he's finally saying goodbye to the past, he'll lead his team, the New York Knicks, for a long time to come, and continue to fight in the league until they win a championship and create a great Great Knicks era, if possible, until retirement.

"Lamar!

Lamar didn't expect Shaq to be the first to come over, but he took it for granted, after all, the two of them were still the best brothers after the game.

Lamar reached out and slapped Shaq's chest, frowning slightly, and said, "It's easy now! I think I'm finally letting go." But big guy, I didn't behave like you today, have you decided to step aside?"

Lamar is still sowing discord at this time, although he has let go of his Laker complex, it does not mean that he has let go of the hatred between himself and Kobe.

"What? Just take the guy! He's still a little tender, I'm just habitually lazy, and it's not the playoffs now, so I have to give him some benefits, right?" Shak, who was originally going to catch up with Lamar, suddenly stopped doing it, he didn't want to lose his face in front of Lamar! Could it be that he can't even manage a Kobe Bryant now? So how can he be the boss of the Lakers!

At this time, the whole Knicks team also came over, and Shaq hurriedly stepped aside and shook hands with the rest of the Knicks to say goodbye.

"Next time I come here, I'll beat your team to a pulp!I hope you can show your strength then, I don't want to play against the Lakers that guy leads!" Lamar couldn't help but say it the moment Shaq turned to leave.

After listening to Lamar's words, Shaq knew that in his heart, he might have completely let go of the grievances with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the strongest super rookie in Los Angeles will be a thing of the past from now on, and some are just the Knicks boss in front of people today.

"If you want me to show all my strength, you'd better get better!"

Lamar snorted unconvinced, everyone has a glorious day in their lives, but they are unlucky, and Kobe's most dazzling day of the madman happened to let him meet: "It's just God standing by that guy's side today, next time you won't have such good luck, I will completely capture here with my teammates!"

After saying that, Lamar turned around and left the arena with everyone, and the rest of the time belonged to the Los Angeles, who didn't want to participate.

Once back in the locker room, Lamar couldn't hold back his resentment at defeat and kicked the locker to pieces.

"I'm sorry, Lamar, I missed my last chance, or you would。。。。。。 It seems that Alan Houston is also very self-blaming, after all, the victory slipped away from his own hands, and he lived up to the trust that everyone had in him.

"Hey, man, it's not your responsibility alone, no one can guarantee a 100% hit, we're not God!" Lamar didn't want to miss the chance to win hearts and minds.

"Besides, it's not all up to you, I also have to bear a large part, if we can take the lead, how can there be a need for the last shot?"

With Lamar's persuasion, coupled with Olajuwon's words and deeds on the side, the impact of the defeat soon faded without a trace. Opposite. The Knicks have strengthened a lot invisibly, and it is estimated that everyone will play more tacitly in the future games, and the trust between the teams has been strengthened at this moment.

Jeff watched with emotion on the side, it seems that the loss of this game is more good than bad! If there are a few more opportunities like this, maybe the team's run-in will be much faster, right?

"Alright, Lamar, I don't want to see you guys talking and farting in front of me. There's a press conference coming up, do you want to come with me?" said Jeff Van Gundy, who also came back to his senses and sat on the side.
