January is quietly coming, and in this month, the Lakers will face the challenge of strong teams such as the Thunder, Warriors, and Pelicans. But the bad news is that in the Lakers' game against the Suns on January 4, Laker big man Aldridge sprained his ankle in a scramble. But fortunately, this time Aldridge's injury is not severe, and he only needs to rest for 1 week to recover.

For Aldridge and the Lakers, this news is the best news in a bad situation, but the Lakers will face the challenges of the Warriors, Thunder, and Pelicans in the next week, which is a serious test for the Lakers.

Now Aldridge plays a very important role in the Lakers, being the best helper next to Luo Han and the best interior barrier in the Lakers. Next, it can only be Luo Han who carries the banner of the Lakers, which is the biggest test for Luo Han since he entered the NBA.

The Warriors are undoubtedly a strong team, and no matter which one of the Lakers' starting lineup is missing, the Lakers will become very difficult to play, let alone lose two yuan in a row. So when the Lakers were injured by Aldridge and Kobe Bryant was rested, the Lakers finally lost to the Warriors by 6 points, and unfortunately got the Lakers' first defeat this season.

Three days later, the Lakers once again welcomed the Thunder at home, this time although Aldridge was still watching from the wall because of injury, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant returned in time for this game, and the gimmick of the Lakers double gun against the Thunder still attracted many spectators to watch the game.

The two sides played very anxiously in this game, and the Thunder team still couldn't limit the play of Luo Han and Kobe, it can be said that the Lakers can play with the Thunder until the last moment, and Luo Han and Kobe have made great contributions. And after the Lakers are without Aldridge, the interior is a little worse than the Thunder, except for Tyson. Outside of Chandler, no one else can do a good job of limiting the Thunder's interior.

In the final moments of the game, the Thunder made a breakthrough layup by Durant, leaving the Lakers only 10 seconds behind, trailing by 2 points. There are only two ways for the Lakers to do this, the first is to grab a quick two-pointer, and then turn around and immediately foul, which is only theoretically possible, because there is not much time left for the Lakers, and it is difficult to complete these things in 10 seconds.

The only last way left is to force the final attack. But choosing this path raises two other questions for Wharton: should he go for two points or three points? Who will be given the last offense to execute, will it be Kobe or Luo?

According to the Lakers' previous approach, this last offense should be completed by Kobe Bryant without suspense, but now with Luo, Luo is more guaranteed in terms of the usual shooting rate. But now is the last moment, Luo has never shot the last attack, and his mentality is still a little worse than Kobe.

Thinking of Wharton's super Kobe Bryant, the tacit understanding cultivated by playing together for many years made Wharton instantly understand the meaning revealed in Kobe's eyes: hand it over to Luo Han.

Including teammates also believed that the last shot should be given to Kobe, but Wharton's next words made Luo Han and his teammates stunned: "Our last shot is handed over to Luo, to carry out, two sets of tactics, namely three-point shot and two-point shot, I will arrange it now." ”

Hearing Wharton's words, Luo Han hurriedly wanted to stop: "Coach, this ball should be shot by Kobe, he has a big heart, and I have never ......"

Before Luo Han could finish speaking, Wharton stopped Luo Han from continuing: "I know, but I still want you to shoot, in the end you have to get used to this, Kobe Bryant will play for another year at most, and your future is limitless, as a superstar, you always have to learn, and you are good at throwing the ball, it doesn't matter if you can't shoot, no one will complain about you." ”

Kobe Bryant also patted Luo Han on the shoulder: "Luo, one day you will end up in my class, and when I retire in the future, all the last shots will be handed over to you to complete, don't forget what I said before, I will be Duncan in the future, you just need to believe that this is a very ordinary shot in your training, and believe that you can throw the ball yourself." ”

It's all over here, Luo Han looked at the encouraging eyes of his teammates around him, he stopped insisting, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, I'll finish this ball." ”

After Walton laid out the tactics, the Lakers players walked to the court, this ball was sent by Luo Han, if you want to shoot the kill, the first hurdle to get through is to serve, and now the Lakers have no chance to pause, so it is necessary to find someone who is good at passing the ball to serve this ball.

"Let's see who the Lakers will let carry out this last shot, oh, we saw Luo standing near the sideline, it seems that Kobe Bryant is going to shoot, this is a result we can expect, after all, Kobe has made so many shots in his career, although Luo's shooting rate is also high this season, but we have reason to believe that Kobe Bryant is a big heart."

Kobe Bryant stood outside the three-point line, waiting for a street kick, and Barnes stood next to Kobe Bryant as if trying to block Kobe, Clarkson, Wesley. Johnson stood at the bottom corner of the three-point line on both sides, and it looked like Kobe Bryant was coming to shoot the last shot.

But to everyone's surprise, Luo Han did not hesitate after passing the ball to Kobe, and immediately ran to Kobe's side, Kobe Bryant passed the ball with one hand, and passed the basketball back to Luo Han. In this way, 3 seconds have passed, and the remaining seven seconds will depend on Luo Han's watch.

At this time, there was no time left for Luo Han to ask any questions, and now Luo Han's mind only had the basket in his mind. A crossover, shaking off Westbrook, quickly dribbling to the left, allowing Durant, who came to the defense, to create a space with himself, which is enough for Luo Han.

But Westbrook and Durant deserve to be superstars, even if they were shaken away by Luo Han, they still pounced on Luo Han again in the fastest time. Time was lost second by second, and in the last 5 seconds, 4 seconds, Luo Han had to make a move. But Luo Han still didn't completely shake off Westbrook and Durant's defense, 3 seconds, and now he has to shoot if he doesn't shoot.

Luo Han drifted between two pairs of big hands, leaned back, and forced a three-point shot. Everyone was watching the basketball arc in the air, and even Luo Han, who fell to the ground because he was hit by Durant in the air, was staring at the basketball deadly.

Jessica, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, Xiao Jing in front of the TV, Liu Jae-seok, Kim Jong Kook, all of them silently prayed for Luo Han in their hearts. But God seemed to have played a joke on Luo Han, the basketball was tossed 3 times on the basket, and finally fell out when it came, and Luo Han failed.

The two times were different, and the Thunder players and fans were happily celebrating the team's victory. And the Lakers players, the fans are all frustrated. Luo Han sat on the ground, silently looking at the basket, obviously very confident in the goal, but he just didn't score, and he became the king and lost.

No one will blame Luo Han for missing this killer shot, Luo Han scored 31 points and 11 assists in this game, and the Lakers would have lost without Luo Han. , but Luo Han still couldn't forgive himself and was very frustrated. Kobe Bryant came to Luo Han's side for the first time and said in his ear: "Luo, no one will blame you, this is just your first shot, and this is just an ordinary regular season, it's not a big deal, you can shoot next time, I understand your feelings, it's bad, but I still have to advise you, don't be too frustrated, there are at least 60 games, isn't it?" “

Westbrook, who won the game, Durant did not leave immediately, but returned to Luo Han's side, Luo Han's appearance in this game is worthy of respect, as friends, they also came to comfort Luo Han. "Luo, you've done a good job, but this time God is on our side, even Kobe, Kevin, and me have lost countless lore, and this is just your first time, isn't it? Wait for the next opportunity, you will definitely be able to enter. (To be continued.) )
