Chapter 4: Surviving in the Struggle Chapter 38 A False Alarm!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: A False Alarm!

This preseason game should have been easy to face, because all kinds of grievances and grievances between the two sides have now evolved into a never-ending war, and the excitement of this game alone is almost no different from the finals, and even the finals cannot be like now, every ball must be fought for, every second must be won.

Keller looked up at the timer on the spot, there were still a little more than ten minutes before the end of the game, and the score on the court was still five points ahead of the Knicks.

"How's it going? Keller" Anderson walked over and gently held Keller's shoulder, he could feel that Keller was tired, Keller had not had a little rest in this game so far, and the stalemate between the two sides made Keller unable to relax at all.

Keller shook his head silently, and did not speak, now for him, even one more word would cause a huge decline in his physical strength, and he was afraid that once this breath in his heart was released, he would immediately fall down and never be able to stand up again.

With a slight movement of his arms, which were already slightly sore, Keller walked towards Kobe, and at this time Artest did not have the strength to pester him all the time, which also gave him another chance to face Kobe Bryant.

Keller is tired, and Kobe, who has not had a break in this game, is also tired, but he has long been accustomed to this kind of fatigue in the past three seasons, because the overall strength of the team has been weak before, Kobe Bryant's average playing time per game has remained above forty minutes, and now although he is very tired, Kobe still persists, as long as he is given the opportunity, he can still play a wonderful offense.

Kobe Bryant slowly carried the ball, the huge physical exertion was no longer enough to support him to stay alive all the time, what he needed now was adjustment, but obviously Keller didn't want to give him such a chance. Almost as soon as Bryant crossed the halfway line, Keller pressed up, and as soon as he came up, he broke the ball.

Kobe was startled, quickly moved his wrist, pulled the ball behind him, and avoided Keller's hand, but when he wanted to turn around Keller and go straight to the basket, he found that Keller was one step faster than him, and when he saw that the ball was not broken, he quickly turned around and blocked in front of Kobe.

"Fight it out?"

"Fight it out"

The two of them reached an offensive in an instant, Kobe took a deep breath, felt the strength return to his body, suddenly shook his shoulders, saw Keller's attention was slightly distracted, and then quickly took a step forward with his left foot, pulled the basketball with his right hand, completed the change of hands under the crotch, and then gently pushed the ball in front of him with his left hand, and his body rushed forward as fast as lightning.

Kobe's continuous feints made Keller a little unresponsive, seeing Kobe pounce on him, the only thing Keller could do was to retreat, constantly retreating, hoping to block Kobe under the basket.

But Kobe Bryant, who had already rushed into his control, was obviously not so easy to deal with, and as he stepped into the three-second zone, he jumped sharply and held the ball high in both hands to reach for the basket.

Keller also jumped up, stretched out his two arms as much as he could, and tried his best to block all of Kobe's shooting lanes, but Kobe seemed to have expected such a situation, his arms pulled down, his body curled up in the air, or he suddenly exerted force, leaned on Keller's body, turned around, and then turned his back to the basket and gently threw the ball behind his head with both hands.

After flying past Kobe and Keller, the basketball finally slid gently into the hoop.

"Huh"

After landing, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but look behind him, when it was confirmed that the basketball had entered the net, Kobe Bryant was quite excited, although this was not the first time he had defeated Keller in a face-to-face battle, but this time the meaning of the representation was obviously different, just now Keller's defense was quite in place, in this case, Kobe Bryant just took a risk to gamble, but he didn't expect him to really win in the end.

"Ahh

After the goal, Kobe Bryant clenched his fists excitedly and raised his fists to the sky and roared, thinking that such excitement was probably only when he won the championship for the first time with the Lakers.

Compared with Kobe's excitement, Keller seemed a little helpless, he had done everything he could with the ball just now, but it was obvious that luck was not on his side.

"Keller gave him back" Seeing that Keller just shook his head, Howard hurriedly walked over and gently patted Keller's shoulder and encouraged, "That ball just now is Raja Bell (now recognized as the league's best defensive player on the outside) came and couldn't help it." ”

Keller moved his neck and wrist and said, "Of course he can't scare me."

Keller said and reached out to Blake to pass the ball, and rushed forward with a slap in front of him, his target was naturally Kobe, but Artest didn't want him to get his wish, a lateral move was blocked in front of Keller, although his current physical strength was not enough to support him to run all over the court like he did at the beginning, and he pressed Keller closely, but it was no problem to continue to compete with Keller on the defensive end.

"Keller, don't get me wrong, your opponent is me"

Artest's sudden appearance did not disrupt Keller's plan to find Kobe Bryant's one-on-one, as if he hadn't seen Artest at all, his speed did not decrease at all, and he still rushed in the direction of Kobe. It wasn't until he was about to collide with Artest that he reacted, his shoulders swaying continuously, and his steps became faster and faster, dribbling so fast that it was difficult to catch the traces of the basketball with the naked eye.

It was as if a high-speed machine suddenly encountered a brake, and Keller's speed dropped without warning, which caught Artest, who was ready to hit hard, a little unprepared, and his body that had already pounced also stopped, neither advancing nor retreating.

Just as Artest hesitated, Keller accelerated again, turned around with a pull ball, and easily rushed past Artest, in front of him, the Knicks players had cleared a way forward for him, all he had to do now was rush in and score points for his team.

"Damn"

was easily broken through by Keller again, this is the first time in this game, Artest is also a little confused, Artest, who has always pretended to be the top defensive strength, suddenly became blank at this time, and the anger in his heart has begun to burn.

"Don't be complacent, you goddamn flea"

After shouting, Artest suddenly reached out and grabbed Keller, if there was still a little bit of comradeship for Keller hidden in his heart before, then now all he wanted to do was revenge, he wanted to take revenge on Keller who made him feel humiliated.

"Ugh"

With a muffled snort, Keller, who was rushing forward at high speed, suddenly fell to the ground as if he had been hit by a bullet, and the hearts of everyone at the scene were instantly suspended, and the fans stood up to see what was going on. But all they saw was Keller lying motionless on the ground, blood oozing from the spot of his head.

The perpetrator Artest, who was standing not far from Keller, was also at a loss, looking down at his hands, and there were still blood stains on his fingertips.

Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene were in an uproar, the facts couldn't be clearer, the beast Artest finally stretched out his claws to his former opponent, and the little comradeship that had been left behind by this devil.

Keller was still motionless, could it be that the injury was really that serious this time?

"Oh my God, Keller" Avril exclaimed, and she didn't care about it so much, so she quickly ran over and crouched down to check on Keller's injuries, but all she saw was Keller's bloodied face, which made her shake completely, and she turned back to the Knicks' bench and yelled, "What the hell are you guys doing?

"You bastard" Howard was the first to rush up, pushing Artest hard, and then rushing up again, looking at him as if he was going to eat Artest alive.

Seeing that no one could stop Howard and that a violent incident was inevitable, Keller suddenly got up as if he was awake from a deep sleep, his face covered in blood and a hideous face, "What are you going to do?

Seeing Keller sit up, people's hearts finally relaxed a little, at least the matter was not as serious as they thought, Keller had not fallen yet, everything was just a false alarm.

When Keller fell to the ground just now, his brain was really confused, but he quickly regained consciousness, but he was too tired to move, and if he hadn't heard Howard shouting and had a premonition that something was going to happen, he would still be lying on the ground resting

With Avril Avril on his feet, Keller struggled to his feet, blood flowed into his eyes, blurring his vision a little, reaching out and rubbing a few handfuls, and after seeing Artest's location, he staggered over.

In the face of such a Keller, Artest was no matter how fearless he was, and a chill could not help but rise in his heart, he wanted to dodge, but his legs did not obey the call at all.

"This matter won't just be settled, just now it will be the price you have helped me for the past two years, and now we are cleared"

After saying that, Keller ignored Artest's reaction, and with Avril's support, he followed the team doctor out of the arena, and his game was over
