Nelson Sr. said: "Control the situation, try to use up 24 seconds before shooting, don't rush, even if we don't score, we have a one-point lead, this ball has to fight for a success rate of ......"

He drew a picture on the tactical board, arranged a double-block and pick-and-roll strategy, and the goal was still to hit the basket and shoot close to the basket, even if he didn't score, it was easy to make fouls.

Barkley said: "This ball is not easy to defend the Lakers, I don't know what strategy the Warriors will use, outside the three-point line must be guarded, in case of a three-point shot at this time, the Warriors have a four-point advantage, and the game is almost won." Therefore, the outside defense cannot be relaxed, but in this way, the interior line is prone to emptiness, and the Warriors' air cut is also very powerful. ”

"It's been a tough game, and the Lakers have given it their all," Smith said. Bryant, Gasol, and Ariza all played more than 40 minutes. If you can't defend against this ball, the whole night's hard work will be in vain. ”

The Lakers have changed, Shannon? Brown replaced Fisher, who was more suited to misplaced defence. The Warriors also made substitutions, with Azubuke coming on for Ellis, who shot better than Ellis.

At the beginning of the game, Zhou Xuan received the ball on the outside, used the width of the field to protect the ball, was not in a hurry to get close to the three-point line, and silently counted down in his heart.

At the last five seconds, he waved his hand, and several Warriors players moved, Marion pulled outside the three-point line to block Kobe, Zhou Xuan bypassed Kobe from the left side to break through, and Odom blocked it. Randolph on the left gives Margeti cover and blocks Brown.

This resulted in two misalignments, with Randolph single-handedly at defender and Margeti single-handedly on Gasol.

Nelson Sr. hoped that he could make a foul if he couldn't score, so Zhou Xuan chose to send a straight plug to Margety. Margeti got the basketball in the right space and ran to get the basketball, and in the last two seconds he faced Gasol and relied on the opponent to make a strong shot.

Gasol is experienced as a European player, but he just raised his hands to interfere, and did not jump to block, even if the Warriors scored, the Lakers still had a chance to chase three points, the referee did not blow a foul, Margeti made a forced layup that was extremely collapsed, and the rebound was returned to Kobe Bryant on the inside.

The Lakers then called a timeout. With 9 seconds left on the clock, they also want to hit a success rate.

Su Qun said: "Finally, the most critical moment came, the Warriors led by as many as 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers recovered the score by relying on Fisher's two key three-pointers. I don't know who to shoot for the last attack, Kobe Bryant is definitely the first choice, Fisher is also possible, of course, Gasol shooting, he has maintained a high efficiency in this series, and got 31 points and 10 rebounds today. ”

Yang Jian said: "As long as this ball is prevented, the Warriors will almost certainly advance to the finals, and the Lakers can only use foul tactics if they can't grab the rebound, I think the Lakers have two options for this ball, use up 9 seconds or make a quick shot, and the second option will leave the Warriors time to kill, and the advantage is that if you don't score, you can also take foul tactics and get another chance to bet on three points." ”

The commentators in the United States have a similar opinion, and most of them think that this kind of ball should be shot by Kobe.

The Warriors changed to the strongest defensive lineup, Jackson, Turiaf, Azubuike played, and the other two were Zhou Xuan and Marion, who were good at rotating positions on the outside, and someone on the inside could block.

The Lakers went on Gasol, Odom, Vujasic, Kobe, Fisher. Although Vujacic didn't get much playing time, he had a good three-point shot and was replaced as a shooting spot at the critical moment.

The game restarted, Fisher dribbled past half the court, Zhou Xuan began to interfere with the periphery, and the ball changed defenses. Zhou Xuan's task is to prevent Fisher. The last blow is likely to be done by shooting, so you have to have someone with height to defend it.

Jackson followed Kobe Bryant, and Azubuuk defended Vujasic. After the last attack, the Lakers really wanted to use up the last time.

In 4 seconds, Odom covered to help Fisher get rid of Zhou Xuan, Marion changed defenses, and Gasol in the middle gave Kobe Bryant a cover to avoid Jackson.

Three seconds later, Fisher passed the ball to Bryant in the low post on the left. Marion let go of Fisher and rushed straight at Kobe. Zhou Xuan bypassed the anti-chase Fisher, and Odom was cleared in the middle.

Azubuke also put Vujacic two steps away on the right side, as long as Kobe Bryant crosses the middle, he will immediately go up to make up for Odom, of course, this is a bit reluctant, because there is a difference in height. Turiaf let go of Gasol and wrapped Kobe Bryant with Marion.

There was still plenty of time for Kobe to complete a pass, but he chose to dribble to his left side, avoiding Turyaf, Marion followed, Kobe Bryant took another step to the middle, and on the other side, Azubuk also let go of Vujacic to wrap up, and the two blocked Kobe Bryant.

1。 In 5 seconds, Kobe Bryant completely ignored Vujasic, misplaced the baseline against Gasol of Jackson, and shot a backward jumper.

When, shoot the iron. Gasol struggled to grab the rebound in the front court, but unfortunately the ball was shot very positively, the arc was flat, it was bounced straight out, and another second passed in the air, no one took the rebound, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

Su Qun shouted excitedly: "Audience friends, the game is over, Kobe Bryant missed the shot, and the Warriors won the fifth game between the two sides 118-117, thus eliminating this year's championship favorite Lakers with a total score of 4-1, and returning to the finals after more than 40 years." Zhou Xuan scored 43 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, scoring the highest score of his career. It was a great win for him. ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "The close-up of the court was given to Kobe, he got 38 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the whole game, the data is very comprehensive, the Lakers were invincible in the regular season, but Bynum's ban affected the strength of the Lakers, and they can only work hard next year." ”

On the court, Kobe Bryant did not shake hands with Zhou Xuan, Jackson and others, turned his head and returned to the locker room, leaving a lonely figure.

The Warriors rushed onto the court, hugged each other, and cheered unpassionately.

Barkley said: "The Lakers players are very disappointed, just now the ball was put twice in replay, Odom and Vujacic have the opportunity to shoot in the open space, Kobe Bryant should be more sure if he passes, especially the point of Vujacic, as long as he passes it at that time, he is already very well prepared." As the team's three-point shooter, he should be sure that he has an open spot. ”

Smith smiled: "Anyway, the game is over, tonight is Zhou Xuan's game, and his performance is really crazy." I don't know if Jackson will regret arranging Kobe Bryant to make the last attack, probably not, because the Lakers' lore is basically Kobe Bryant's shot. ”

Whether it's an authority, a team manager, an NBA player, or anyone else, almost everyone agrees that Kobe Bryant is the best shot in the final crunch of the game. In this season's general manager survey, Bryant received 79% support for pitching key shots, and was named the undisputed key man for many years in a row.

Of course, there are those who oppose it. Before the playoffs began, ESPN expert Henry ? After reviewing a lot of data, Abbott revealed that despite his amazing scoring ability, Kobe Bryant was not a key man at all.

In fact, Kobe always made it easy for opponents to defend at critical moments, because almost every time Kobe Bryant got the ball, he made a shot, lacking variety. Over the past five years, Bryant has made 56 shots in key moments and only had one assist. For Kobe, he missed the shot at a critical moment and missed it far more than he hit.

In the 1997 playoff series against the Jazz, Kobe Bryant's famous two-point three-point tie allowed the Jazz to win the series; In Game 2 of the 1999 series against the Spurs, Bryant's three-point miss at the buzzer caused the Lakers to fail to equalize; In Game 4 of the 2002 series against the Kings, Bryant missed a two-point shot that equalized the score, but fortunately, Horry hit the winning three-pointer; In Game 7 of the same series, Kobe Bryant missed a chance to win the basket at the last moment of the fourth quarter; In Game 3 of the 2003 series against the Timberwolves, Kobe missed two key shots in the last minute of overtime and lost the Lakers.

These are just some of the key shots Bryant missed in his career, shooting less than 30 percent of the game's equalizers or leading the ball in the last 24 seconds of a playoff game. Regardless of how you define crunch time, these results show that Bryant's ability to shoot key shots is about the same as any other player.

Throughout his career, when the Lakers were tied or within two points of the game in the last 24 seconds of the game, Bryant took a total of 104 shots, made 35 of 35 shots and missed 69 of them. For such a player who has missed more than twice as many shots, why would the whole league rate him as the most ideal Mr. Key?

One might argue that Bryant was able to attract the bag and create scoring opportunities for other Lakers players in key moments. It's a pity that this doesn't happen very often, and even if he attracts a bag, he usually won't pass it on. In Kobe's career, the Lakers' offense was the best in the league, and the difference between wins and losses ranked second in the league. The Lakers average a league-high 109 points per 100 possessions. But in the final 24 seconds of the game, the Lakers' offense was astonishingly bad, scoring just over the league average of 82 points per 100 possessions. Kobe Bryant's entire career has had 11 teams in the league that have been stronger offensively than the Lakers in crunch time. What's even more ironic is that when Kobe Bryant was on the court at key moments, the Lakers actually lost to their opponents in scoring.

It is undeniable that Bryant has made many great key shots in his career, such as his three-point shot against the Heat this year; Two incredible scores in Game 4 of the 2006 playoff series against the Suns. But to say that he is Mr. Key is really a historical misunderstanding, and it is almost the same as saying that he is Mr. Key on the other side.

The home fans left the stadium and the Warriors cheered for a while before returning to the locker room together, and tonight, I'm afraid all of them are going to lose sleep.
