Chapter 107: But That's It (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
"There are 57 seconds left in the game, and the next attack, we have to play the full 24 seconds, so that we can control the time to about 33 seconds, so that we can make sure that we have the last attack, understand?" Popovich didn't play any tactics, at this time, just play according to the usual routine, specifically design tactics, but because of unfamiliarity, the attack will fail.

The timeout ended quickly, and the two teams returned to the court, with the Spurs serving in the middle of the line, and it was Anxi who served.
The Lakers' marking was very tight, and they frantically defended the Spurs' catch, but a counterrun from Manuginobili still had a chance.
Manu received the ball and the Spurs began to run wildly, with only 24 seconds to play, and they had to run as soon as possible.
Because Manu Ginobili played, Kobe Bryant turned to guard Manu, Anxi was vacant, and it was Ci Shiping who defended Anxi, and now Ci Shiping, just like he changed his name, he is no longer Artest, and his defense is not as good as before.
An Xi waited in the bottom corner for a while, and then suddenly started running, going around to the top of the arc, by the way, attracting Ci Shiping's defense, and suddenly vacating the area in the bottom corner, Tony Parker, who happened to run there, received the basketball and raised his hand to shoot!
"Tony Parker's mid-range shot, Ramon Sessions, late, hit the iron! Didn't score without defense! But the rebound was grabbed by Tim Duncan! Spurs timeout again!"
Tony Parker's shot didn't go in, and just when the Spurs looked confused, Tim Duncan pressed Andrew Bynum to grab the rebound!
Grabbed the rebound, called a timeout, and retimed it with 24 seconds, so that there were only 36 seconds left in the game, and the Spurs had one last offense, and the last chance was taken away by the Lakers.
Popovich urgently laid out the strategy, and this time Popovich asked the Spurs to play a hammer strategy, through Tony Parker's cut, to attract the defense, and then split the ball to the three-point line.
Everyone nodded, and the game resumed.
The Spurs strictly follow the tactics, and the Lakers are not guarding the serve, and they would rather the Spurs end their offense earlier, so that the Lakers can have more time in their final round.
But the Spurs weren't stupid, with Tony Parker dribbling on the outside and controlling the time.
"The Spurs control the time, Tony Parker moves! Do the Spurs want Tony Parker to do this final kill?"
The commentator asked, and the Spurs moved as Tony Parker cut in.
Boris Diola pulled up high and set up a pick-and-roll cover for Tony Parker, and Tim Duncan stepped into the left mid-range position to cover Manuginobili without the ball while staying where he was and waiting for his chance.
And An Xi and Kowai Leonard in the bottom corner also moved, one of them in the left bottom corner, and the other in the right bottom corner. The moment Tony Parker started, Anxi ran towards the bottom corner of the other side, and Kowhi Leonard also ran towards Anxi, and the two switched places!
At this moment, the Spurs had a chance! Ci Shiping, who was staring at Anxi, stopped at the position of the penalty area, and he chose to switch to Manu who cut without the ball, and Kobe Bryant had already implemented a package on Tony Parker, and no one dared to let an All-Star level point guard cut in the case of a single defense!
The basketball flew into Anxi's hands, and the only doubt was that Anxi hadn't run outside the three-point line, and he could only shoot a shot in his position!
"Can Anxi's mid-range shots go in?" the commentator shouted out everyone's doubts, as we all know, Anxi's mid-range shots can only be regarded as average, some people defend four out of ten shots, and the unguarded hit rate, they don't know.
The Spurs are clear, but they are also worried, because Anxi's mid-range shooting is really unstable.
Anxi once again carried forward the characteristics of his big heart, and when he threw this ball, Anxi was unusually calm!
"The ball is in! Anxi's key shot, and now the Spurs are leading by 3 points! The pressure is all on the Lakers' side. ”
In the excited roar of the commentator, the Lakers are also going to take a timeout, and they are also going to arrange a lore tactic.
McBrown watched his players walk off the field, he wiped his sweat, a little nervous.
Pulling out the tactical board, McBrown gathered all the players: "We have 13 seconds left, this is our chance, now we are down by 3 points, so we can only shoot three points, and then equalize the score, and play overtime with the Spurs, they are a bunch of old guys, and they can't fight us in overtime, so we play the last ball like this, give the ball to Kobe Bryant......"
After saying a lot, McBrown still said: Give the ball to Kobe, this classic line. That's right, the Lakers' stunner tactics, in Popovich's view, have only one possibility, that is, to give the ball to Kobe, so Popovich specially instructed Anxi to guard against Kobe's three points, he is not ready to wrap up the tactics, or let Anxi defend alone.
Defending Kobe's three-point shot, Anxi's confidence is still there, Kobe's leaning back he can't prevent it, it doesn't make sense that Kobe's three-point can't be prevented.
With 13 seconds left in the game, the moment of all the antiquated was when all the Lakers fans on the sidelines stood up and were expecting the Black Mamba to surprise them again.
13 seconds, fleeting, Kobe Bryant held the ball and looked at Anxi coldly, he didn't have time to talk trash, but his eyes said everything, he wanted to kill Anxi!
The Lakers didn't have any tactics, the tactic was that Kobe Bryant slowly dribbled, used up all the time, and then shot......
5…… 4…… 3…… 2…… 1!
Almost at the last second, Kobe Bryant pulled up from the floor and made a three-point shot!
The Lakers fans in the audience took a deep breath and didn't dare to speak, and Staples was as quiet as a quiet night.
The on-site commentator shouted loudly: "Kobe's ......" He just wanted to say Kobe's lore, but before the word lore was finished, he was blocked in his throat.
The excited roar of the ESPN commentator next door explained everything: "Blocked! Anxi blocked Kobe Bryant's three-pointer! Black Mamba also missed!"
That's right! An Xi actually covered Kobe's three-point kill! When Kobe jumped, An Xi also jumped vertically all of a sudden, directly rose up suddenly, and then covered the basketball in Kobe's hand with a big hand!
In the words of ESPN commentator Hubie Brown, Anxi killed the Lakers in an alternative way.
At the end of the game, Anxi behaved very calmly, he did not celebrate with his teammates, but looked at Kobe Bryant lightly, and a final trash word spit out from Anxi's mouth: "I completely guarded you, Kobe Bryant, Black Mamba, but that's it!"
