Chapter 119: Lore!

The game between the Raptors and the Lakers fell into a state of anxiety after the fourth quarter.

Both sides don't give in and want to win this game!

The Lakers at home have the support of tens of thousands of fans, and their morale is uplifted! Coupled with the previous game, they inexplicably lost to the underdog Suns, which made the Lakers, who were eager to prove themselves, extremely eager to win this game!

The Raptors, although they came all the way from Toronto, Canada, the northern country of the North American continent, but their desire to win this game is not lost to the home team Lakers.

The previous three consecutive defeats ruined the good situation they had since the start of the new season. The Raptors, who are eager to make new breakthroughs this season, isn't this time the time to change themselves and break through themselves?

As a result, both sides brought out the best in themselves, both offensively and defensively.

With 1 minute and 39 seconds left in the game, the score was 112:110, and the Raptors still had a two-point advantage in the final minute!

Perhaps these two points can be the last straw that crushes the camel!

Byron Scott requested the Lakers' penultimate timeout of the game.

He laid out several tactics, but he was still uneasy.

Since the fourth quarter, the Raptors have held on to their lead, and although the players are panting one by one, they are unexpectedly tenacious!

It was a high-scoring game, with both sides playing their best offense and opposing sides defending well. Although it can't be said that it was beaten into a sieve by the opponent, it is just right to describe it as leaking air everywhere.

Not to mention the Raptors, on the Lakers' side, Yi Feng is the most critical part of the defense.

However, he did not work hard in defense in this game, resulting in the Raptors' offense being unstoppable like mercury.

It can be said that the Lakers are still behind at home at the moment of life and death in this game, and a large part of the responsibility for Yi Feng is involved.

But if it weren't for Yi Feng's offense and his scoring, the Lakers wouldn't have scored so much, and they wouldn't have the situation where the outcome is still in suspense. Maybe the Lakers were crushed early in the morning, and the fourth quarter became garbage time early.

All in all, the change that Yi Feng has brought to the Lakers is huge.

It seems that now, at this most critical moment, whether it is head coach Scott or many players of the Lakers, they all trust Yi Feng and are willing to give him the last few offensive opportunities.

Including Kobe Bryant, too!

In the past, the Lakers' last-minute offense should have been completed by Kobe Bryant. However, this season, he seems to have unloaded his heavy burden and retreated to the second line, and many heavy responsibilities have been handed over to Yi Feng. And he played health basketball, and he looked lazy on the court a lot of the time.

However, it was such Kobe Bryant who made the opponent even more frightened. Because you don't know when he'll show his bloodthirsty fangs and send you back like a black mamba.

The Lakers' timeout ended, and the game resumed.

In the last minute or so of the contest between the two sides, the Lakers first attacked.

The Raptors' defense became extremely tight at this time.

Whether it's a big center, a forward, or a guard, every player on the Lakers court is watched by the opponent.

And Kobe, who served out of bounds, was constantly interfered with by Demarre Carroll.

Carroll is a lap bigger than Kobe, which allows him to block Kobe's passing vision very well.

As the clock ticked by, Bryant still didn't find a good passing opportunity. The Raptors' defensive intensity in the most critical moments can be seen.

Scott's tactics at the timeout finally came to fruition.

Yi Feng continued to take advantage of the cover of Hibbert and Clarkson, and finally got a chance to open the spot, and received the out-of-bounds serve that Kobe Bryant almost violated the penalty service time.

Yi Feng jumped high to get the ball in the air, and after landing, a defender appeared in front of him.

It's Lori!

Lowry was very clever and didn't have to cut the ball in Yi Feng's hand.

Although the NBA practice is that the more critical the moment, the less the referee intervenes in the game, and everything is left to the players to decide.

But Lowry has been in the NBA for so many years, and it is not uncommon for star whistles and black whistles to be seen. On the home court of the Lakers, he didn't dare to make too many moves against the home team's popular stars.

You must know that Yi Feng's big hands are almost completely covered on the basketball, and if Lowry cuts the ball hard, there is a chance that he will hit Yi Feng's hands.

And it doesn't always have to be able to cut the ball off.

And at such a critical moment, Lowry, as a defensive side, would have succeeded if he gambled to steal the opponent's ball; If you don't succeed, you're out of position, which is equivalent to opening the door for your opponent to go deep into your own basket.

With Yi Feng's excellent scoring ability, letting him go deep into the basket is not much different from sending points. Isn't giving away points at such a critical moment equivalent to giving away the victory of this game?

So Lowry cautiously did not cut the ball, but focused on guarding Yi Feng.

With more than a minute left in the game, the lagging Lakers must choose to score quickly, both fast and guaranteed success. Therefore, Lowry feels that the Lakers' offense this time will definitely choose to break through.

So he put a little distance, sank his center of gravity, and paid special attention to Yi Feng's most likely breakthrough next.

Scott did instruct Yi Feng at the timeout to let him score two quick points after receiving the ball to get the team out of the disadvantageous situation of falling behind.

And to get two points quickly, and to ensure the success rate, you should indeed choose to break through. Because the closer you get to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage, and no matter the inside and outside players, they can't escape this rule.

For such a view, Yi Feng is noncommittal. Because he is confident in his shooting ability, if it comes to scoring points quickly, a direct shot is much faster than a breakthrough layup. And when it comes to success rate, he feels that his shooting percentage is not much lower than that of layups.

Especially when his defender became Lowry, Yi Feng's self-confidence became stronger with the widening of his shooting horizon in front of him.

Without making any feints, Yi Feng directly smashed the ball to the right, and the whole person rushed to his right like a leopard.

Lowry's pupils shrank sharply, and his vision could barely capture Yi Feng completely, but the afterimage passing over the retina also made Lowry act subconsciously.

He followed the direction of Yi Feng's breakthrough, and was afraid of Yi Feng's such a simple and rough but extremely fast breakthrough, he used all the strength of his body!

However, after he took a step with all his strength, he found that Yi Feng actually stopped jumping suddenly!!

Yi Feng took a step to the right, and then he was able to violate the ergonomic emergency stop and jump, at such a fast speed, his jump was still vertical!

The kinetic energy of progress, at this moment, was all transformed into the energy of his jumping, and in Lori's eyes, Yi Feng jumped so high!

From the perspective of his upward gaze, it seemed that Yi Feng had defied gravity, and even his knees exceeded the height of his head!

Easy Wind stopped jumping, and Lowry couldn't interfere with his shooting at all.

The lower half of his body was tense and straight, while his upper body was slowly relaxing in the air, and his whole body slowly leaned forward. The focus of his eyes was tightly locked on the basket, and Yi Feng gently pulled the ball out with his right hand.

Swish!

Scott's request for a quick score, and he did it!

And it also comes with a big surprise!

It's not a quick two, it's a quick three!

Yi Feng almost jumped off the three-point line!

At this critical moment, the referee used video replay and finally ruled that Yi Feng's ball was a three-point shot.

With Yi Feng's goal, the Lakers' total score was added by 3 points, and the Lakers also successfully overtook the Raptors!

112:113!

In just 5 seconds after the timeout, Yi Feng helped the team regain the lead!

The Lakers have a lingering look of joy on their faces and become more engaged when they turn back to defense.

Lowry advances with the ball.

Although his face was calm, his heart was not calm at all.

They were leading for so long in the fourth quarter! But when there was more than a minute left in the game, he was overtaken by his opponent!!

It's like a boiled duck grows wings on its own and flies away!

It's like the fat that is about to be delivered to the mouth has been snatched away!

And it is precisely because of his poor defense that such a result will be caused!

How could Lowry's mood be good!

But he knows that he is the leader of the team, he has to be an example for his teammates, he can't be in a hurry at this time, he can't mess up! At least on the surface!

And they are not without chances, there is still time left in the game, and the outcome is still unknown!

The Raptors attacked, DeRozan covered Lowry with the ball, and Yi Feng and Clarkson quickly completed the switch.

Lowry's defender turned into Yi Feng.

Lowry is ruthless, he wants to do this ball himself!

Not only to get back on the field on Yi Feng, but also for the team's final victory! This is the confidence he gained from playing in the NBA for ten years!

But in the face of Yi Feng's defense, he couldn't shake off Yi Feng's center of gravity after several cross-steps.

In the face of Yi Feng, his height is a great disadvantage, and the only safer way he can choose is to break through.

However, throughout the game, Yi Feng, who did not work hard in defense, raised the defensive intensity at the most critical moment!

Although Lowry pressed his center of gravity very low when he broke through, Yi Feng was still able to hold it firmly with his super athletic ability. Yi Feng, who is serious, really has a bit of a solid taste in defense.

Of course, being stronger than weak has always been relative. Defending Lowry, Yi Feng can do a good job. But even when he was on fire, he didn't have a good way to limit the scoring of an offensive master like Carmelo Anthony.

As the offensive time wore out, Lowry still couldn't find a chance to break through.

He's in a hurry!

As soon as you grit your teeth, the right side of your head is strong!

Although Yi Feng appeared in time, he failed to stop Lori again this time.

Lori was ruthless, and he broke into the inside line with Yi Feng on his shoulder. Although he is nearly 20 centimeters shorter than Yi Feng, he weighs almost 20 pounds more than Yi Fengzhong!

In addition, when he broke through, he lowered his center of gravity, so that Yi Feng's feet could barely hit the ground with his heels! Coupled with the momentum of Lowry's red eyes, Yi Feng still couldn't prevent it after all.

Although there is an inside line to help defend, Lowry who kills the basket has no longer cares. He forced his jump, yelled, squeezed away a few hands in the air that wanted to block his shot, and threw the ball by feeling before he hit the ground!

With his years of playing experience, he knows that this goal has been made!

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and in many cases, their whistle always seemed to be late.

Yi Feng didn't care about the whistle, and immediately jumped a second time after landing, slapping the ball that was still rising from Lowry out of bounds.

No matter who commits a foul on his side, he also admits the free throw, but he can't give the opponent any "2+1" chance!

Several referees discussed for a while around the monitor that played back the video, and finally recorded the foul on Yi Feng's head.

Faced with such a penalty, Yi Feng stretched out his arm to signal that he had committed a foul.

If he doesn't accept the referee's decision and doesn't stretch out his hand, then the referee will give him a technical foul!

This so-called "zero tolerance" policy for referees is really terrible. Although the player has the right to appeal to the referee, after the referee has made a decision, it cannot be questioned and changed.

Lowry didn't know if he didn't wash his hands when he went to the toilet, and he didn't hit all of his free throws for such a critical shot!

The first penalty is missed!!

Fortunately, he hit the second free throw to help the team equalize.

113:113!

The two teams are once again on the same starting line!

However, Lowry, the hero who helped the Raptors equalize, was extremely depressed when he returned to defense.

Not to mention that a must-score layup was slapped off, and the free throws that gave away two points were not grasped! It's just that at such a critical moment, such a fatal mistake was made!

With 1:15 left in the game, the Lakers were in possession.

Since the scores are tied, the Lakers are in no hurry to attack.

Clarkson didn't dare to hold the ball more at such a critical moment, and after handing the ball to Kobe, he walked away with defender Lowry.

Bryant dribbled the ball back and forth under his crotch, and step by step forced Carroll, who was defending him, from outside the three-point line to near the free throw line.

Suddenly, Kobe Bryant took the ball in one fell swoop, raised his hands, and was ready to throw.

Carroll didn't jump, just took a step up and reached out to seal Kobe's vision.

Kobe Bryant didn't really shoot the jumper, and the feints didn't deceive Carroll, but Kobe Bryant didn't get to the point of being helpless. He has a variety of offensive methods, even if he stops the ball in one step at the three-point line, there are countless ways to score the ball.

He continued to rise with the ball in both hands, but Carroll went all the way to the black, no matter how realistic Kobe Bryant's shooting feints were, he couldn't fly him.

Time passed, and Kobe's intention to make a foul was unsuccessful, and in the end he could only force his shot, and hit the iron with a backward jumper.

With 53 seconds left in the game, the two teams were still tied at 113.

The Raptors offense, although head coach Devin Casey called a timeout to set up the game, but after 22 seconds, it was still useless under the Lakers' defense.

With 31 seconds left in the game, both teams had one last chance to attack.

Lakers offense.

Kobe Bryant didn't attack with the ball again this time, and he passed the ball to Yi Feng with his own hands.

Yi Feng slowly dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, this offense, if it can be scored, then it is likely to be a key ball to win!

Therefore, DeRozan, who defended him, was highly nervous, and his palms were sweating.

Yi Feng didn't care about DeRozan in front of him, what he thought of was the last time he faced the Knicks, the last time he didn't hit the killer shot.

Another opportunity has appeared, and Yi Feng will definitely not let it slip away again!

This goal must be scored!!

Dangling left and right, Yi Feng once again simply and rudely broke through DeRozan's defense.

Although the two major interior lines of the Raptors heard the news, Yi Feng has made up his mind at the moment, although there are tens of millions of people!

After hitting the basket, Yi Feng threw himself into the air, and he didn't know how many hands he was violated in the air, but he still firmly controlled the ball in his hand.

However, the Raptors' determination to defend this ball was not bad at all, and in the end, Valanciunas stretched out his long arm, like nine days to the moon, and hugged Yi Fengshengsheng from the air!

The ball in Yi Feng's hand naturally couldn't be shot.

Valanciunas's foul was ruled by the referee as an ordinary foul. Yi Feng got two free throws, and he didn't waste those chances like Lowry did, and hit those two crucial free throws steadily.

At this moment, the entire Staples Center arena was boiling!

With 18 seconds remaining, the home team leads by two points!

Could it be that the Lakers are going to rely on Yi Feng's two free throws tonight to win?

The Raptors were the first not to agree!

They worked hard all night, all night!

How can you give up in the last ten seconds!

Devin Casey called the Raptors' final timeout in regulation time and laid out the team's final and most important offense of the game.

During the pause, there was also a discussion in the commentary booth -

O'Neill was the first to sigh: "This game is really intense, the two sides have been entangled since the first second of the game, and they are still scoreless!" ”

Barkley nodded, "That's right, the two teams gave us an extremely exciting game, and it was in vain for our three heavenly kings of T-N-T!" ”

Kenny Smith glanced at him, "And then you have to thank the Chinese kid by the way, don't you?" ”

Barkley laughed, "Sure enough, it's Kenny who knows me best, hahahaha...... But at least you can't deny that without him, this game wouldn't have been as exciting. And without him, and without a bet between us! ”

Smith laughed and scolded: "The last sentence is your true words, right?!" ”

In the end, O'Neill concluded: "All in all, this little guy is amazing. He scored more than 40 points in the whole game, and hit two key free throws in the last ten seconds, and this is very likely to be the Lakers' winning two points! ”

"The stark contrast is that Kyle Lowry made one of two free throws in the first minute! When it comes to free throws at the final moment, this little guy is actually more accurate than an All-Star player who has been fighting in the league for ten years, you have to know that he is just a rookie! ”

Immediately, O'Neal smiled and teased: "In the end, whether the Lakers can win this game or not, the Chinese kid has defeated Kenny Smith, one of our three kings of T-N-T!" ”

Smith: "......"

He digressed the subject, "This shouldn't be our focus right now, right?" At such a critical moment, shouldn't we discuss who will win this game? Or should there be a discussion about who Devin Casey will have to execute the final attack? ”

O'Neill smiled, "It doesn't matter! There's no need to waste our brain cells thinking about this, because in the next minute, it's all going to be in front of you! ”

Barkley shook his head, "Shaquille, you can't do this, you don't have the demeanor of a professional commentator at all!" Waiting for the game to go on its own, so what do the audience want you to do with this commentary? Watch how a funny big fat guy hacks a player? ”

Smith hit the nail on the head, "Lazy is lazy." ”

O'Neill: "......"

The timeout was over, and the final 18 seconds of the race were finally about to begin.

Lowry takes the throw-in, and after a series of complicated runs, DeRozan receives the ball from Lowry.

Could it be that the Raptors' last offense was executed by DeRozan?

With a two-point lead in hand, Scott had the bottom of his mind at this point, pinching his chin and speculating on Devin Casey's thoughts.

It was Yi Feng who defended DeRozan.

Yi Feng doesn't care whether DeRozan executes the last attack or not, whether DeRozan has the ball in his hand or not, he has to defend DeRozan to death in the last ten seconds.

DeRozan held the ball with both hands on his right side, and in the last ten seconds, although the team was still two points behind, he did not rush like a headless fly, blindly attacking.

Yi Feng quickly understood his opponent's intentions, and it seemed that he wanted to hit the last shot while leaving no time for the Lakers.

But Yi Feng didn't understand, where did the other party get so much confidence? Why can you be sure you'll be able to score this goal?

12……

11……

10……

Time passed little by little, and finally officially entered the countdown stage.

DeRozan glanced up at the timer and noticed that after the red number changed to "10", he started to power up.

He was originally standing outside the three-point line, and after a few cross steps, he gradually came to the three-point line.

Suddenly, DeRozan slammed his right shoulder, strode straight to the right!

And when Yi Feng moved sideways to defend, he found that he suddenly bumped into someone!

It turned out that Lowry came here to make a mobile cover for DeRozan after sending out the throw-in!

DeRozan instantly wiped over Yi Feng and Lowry, who collided together, and then did not continue to hold the ball deeply, but jumped up and shot after a sharp stop!

Clarkson, who was staring at Lowry, was simply stunned at this time, but he didn't expect that with his small negligence, the other party had a chance to shoot!

With all the strength in his body, he lunged at DeRozan.

However, it was too late, and as soon as the ball in DeRozan's hand went in and out-

Swish!

Two Point Shot!!

115:115!!

The two sides are tied again!

At this time, the number on the timer is not "0"!

The game isn't over yet!

Watching DeRozan throw the ball in, Scott felt uncomfortable, but when he realized that the game was not over, he immediately asked for a timeout.

It was the Lakers' last timeout.

Scott cautiously laid out the team's final attack.

The referee replayed the timer and gave it 2.7 seconds left.

The timeout ended quickly, and the fans in the Staples Center arena stood up nervously.

The result of the Lakers' offense in the last less than three seconds is related to the outcome of the whole game.

enter, then the Lakers will kill the Raptors; If you don't score, the two sides will continue to compete in overtime!

For the Lakers, for now, they are invincible. But in order to avoid long nights and extra time to deplete their energy reserves, they certainly wanted to end the fight in regular time.

The timeout ended, and Bryant served out of bounds.

Devin Casey breathed a sigh of relief that it seemed that the Lakers' last offense was not executed by Kobe.

In his nearly 20-year career, Kobe Bryant has hit countless key shots. When it comes to big hearts, I'm afraid there aren't many people in the alliance who can compare to him.

With less than three seconds to go, he's on the throw-in, and Scott clearly hasn't scheduled him to execute the final touch.

Devin Casey laughed, isn't this self-defeating martial arts?

Except for Kobe, no matter who on the Lakers team shoots this shot, he is not afraid.

Easy wind?

Devin Casey was deeply impressed, on the night when Yi Feng scored more than 50 points, Yi Feng had a chance to win a god, but the result was because the killer ball at the critical moment did not hit.

Obviously, the psychological quality is not strong enough, Devin Casey snickered, even if you are given another chance, the result is still the same.

Sure enough, the whole Lakers team was covering Yi Feng, the purpose was to let him catch the ball.

Seeing this scene, Devin Casey smiled even sweeter.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore!

After a lot of covers, Yi Feng approached Kobe Bryant, who served out of bounds.

In front of Kobe, Carol, who was still jumping up and down, was obviously interfering with Kobe's serve.

Yi Feng whistled past behind Carroll, and Kobe's pass was also shot at this time-

Kobe Bryant sent the ball to the floor, the basketball smashed on the floor, and after the rebound, Carol, who had just jumped up and down, passed through the crotch, and then went straight to Yi Feng's hand.

After Yi Feng got the ball, he took a step forward and stopped jumping sharply.

DeRozan, who was chasing after him, pounced on him like a roc spreading his wings, apparently trying to get rid of Yi Feng's shot behind his back.

But it's too late.

Since there was not much time left for the final attack, Yi Feng sped up his shot.

Although he was not very used to such a feeling, after Yi Feng threw the ball, he knew that this ball was there!

The basketball got farther and farther away from Yi Feng's hand, and it was farther and farther away from DeRozan who was rushing behind him, and after drawing a wonderful arc in the air, it accurately fell into the center of the basket.

Swish!

Yi Feng hit this lore!! (To be continued.) )
