0173:[Superhero Bruce Lee]
Backbite!
The whistle blew.
With the Denver Nuggets running out of their last timeout, the showdown is finally coming to an end.
The main theme of this game is the battle between Black Mamba and Melon for the scoring title, and the interlude is the battle between Bruce Lee and J.R. Smith for 'sneakers'.
As it stands, Bryant, who has 62 points, is ahead of Anthony with 49 points. And Li Zhen, who had 12 points, 11 assists, 3 steals and shook JR Smith twice, also had the upper hand in the duel with JR Smith.
But... If the Nuggets take the final win at Stamps. It's not the same thing, after all, it's all about winning.
Both J.R. Smith and Carmelo Anthony thought so.
So, Anthony drove the ball directly to JR and asked him to go and single Lee Jin.
JR Smith was so confident that with more than 40 seconds remaining, he decided to take a goal to seal the lead and give his team the initiative in the final attack.
When he quickly arrived at the frontcourt, he saw that the Lakers did not change the defense, and he was even more sure of victory.
He had studied Li Zhen carefully before the game, although tonight the cunning Chinese showed off-the-beaten-range agility and physical coordination, which at one point embarrassed him on the defensive end. But he believes that when he has the ball in his hands, this guy will never be able to defend himself. Because his strength, explosiveness and other abilities are still very ordinary and even terrible.
Therefore, JR Smith did not hesitate, and after he arrived in the front court, he directly faced Li Zhen's defense and crushed inward.
With his taller, stronger, and more powerful body, he pushed Li Zhen back step by step.
Judging from the picture, Li Zhen's defense line was like tofu scum in front of him, and it collapsed with one blow.
This even elicited irrepressible laughter from Charles Barkley.
But the laughter soon came to an abrupt end.
Because, when JR Smith quickly held the ball and burst to the left side of the free throw line... When he was in a comfortable shooting position, he suddenly sank, and he hit Li Zhen hard, and then collected the ball and prepared to take off and jump shot.
But just as he collected the ball to his waist, Li Zhen, who was knocked away by him by one meter, suddenly took a swift step, and his long arm was like the long sword of a Spartan warrior on the battlefield, slashing down...... Syllable!
The basketball falls from JR Smith's hands.
Actually stealed???
J.R. Smith on the screen is visibly frightened.
The audience in front of the TV and the ball commentators in the live broadcast room also looked at each other: how did this happen? Isn't Bruce ruined and knocked out of place?
Staples Arena erupted in an astonishing wave.
The little fox's last-minute steal was inspiring, and everyone's adrenaline was racing with the moment Bruce crossed JR Smith with the ball, including the old Buss, who had trouble legs and feet, couldn't help but stand in front of the window and sway hard.
At the same time, Bruce showed even more incredible speed, and he was like a golden lightning bolt from the backcourt three-point line to the frontcourt.
J.R. Smith despite catching up all the way.
But the distance between the two is growing.
Finally, in a desperate pull... But after not even touching the corner of his clothes, he helplessly watched Bruce get on a flight to the basket in the restricted area...... Swish!
The basketball is easily put into the net.
Overtake!
The Los Angeles Lakers are overtaking!!
Bruce made three tackles since coming on, all three of which were on JR Smith, and scored three goals in succession.
Regarding which of the two is more important, a judgment has already been made.
Thinking of JR Smith's arrogant words before the game, the smile on the corner of the Lakers fans' lips became even louder.
What a negative ugly character.
……
Meanwhile, there are only 32 seconds left in the game.
With Bruce scoring a steal and a counter-attack, the initiative fell into the hands of the Lakers, and the Nuggets had no timeout.
George Carr had to roar on the sidelines and arrange Carmelo Anthony's tactics to catch the ball.
Obviously, he was not expecting this outcome. JR Smith's previous vows made him think that this goal must be scored, and in fact he did play with the advantage, but why was he suddenly tackled?
He couldn't believe the result either.
So, after roaring and arranging this tactic, he kept his head up, waiting for the big screen above his head to give him more details of the 'steal'.
To be honest, the fans in front of the TV have this idea of him.
Everyone is curious to know how Bruce completed the counter-kill.
TNT quickly played a camera shot fixed to another part of the stadium, and the footage it captured gave the audience answers.
Originally... Although Bruce was pushed back by J.R. Smith, he kept gritting his teeth and insisting.
Although the scene looks very embarrassing.
But he never gave up.
And, at the last time JR Smith hit hard, he was pushed by the collision by more than a step.
But he seemed to be prepared, he was standing on his front and back feet.
This is the moment when JR Smith closes the ball.
He made a pounding tackle that flew forward.
And.......
"Bruce's explosiveness isn't as bad as he thought it would be. The fact that he can make such a strong sprint at this distance proves that his explosiveness is at least above average. ”
Earl Johnson emphasized.
Kenny Smith, on the other hand, was even more agitated: "I said long ago that Bruce is a tough player. Never judge a player by their physical quality for being weak or defensively low. Bruce tonight, definitely an All-Star level performance, on both ends of the floor!! ”
Charles Barkley though has a lot to refute.
But at this point, he couldn't even speak.
Because Bruce's momentum has reached its peak.
Lakers fans in the stadium even chanted 'Bruce! Bruce! Bruce! 'slogan.
He's on the fast track to fame.
It would be out of place to say anything at this time.
……
The game continued, and because the last round took more than a dozen seconds, the Nuggets changed their minds about stealing a ball.
The basketball was in the hands of Carmelo Anthony, who slowly paced the three-point line.
Both him, and the Denver Nuggets, need a goal.
He needs a goal to cross the 50-point club, and the Nuggets need a goal to complete the comeback of the score.
But by this time, he was facing a very different defense.
Engrossed Eddie Griffin stood in front of him, his long arms of terror outstretched, forming a complete defensive threat.
The former phenom, who had been soaked in alcohol for years, finally began to show his talent, and after being awakened by Bruce, he began to show a very different defense.
He is no longer standing on the court with a slightly correct attitude, and reflexively exerting his abilities.
Instead, take the initiative.
To know... The alcoholic played only reflexively, averaging an astonishing 7.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 0.5 assists per game in the preseason. Now he is preoccupied with exerting influence.
Cameron is up against the strongest defender on the Los Angeles wing.
When the time counted down to the 11th second, Anthony moved.
He began to show his probing pace with his amazing combination of ball play and attacking skills.
However, Eddie Griffin didn't shake it at all.
With the clock ticking, Cameron can only go hard. As he forced his way forward, Eddie Griffin's body really couldn't withstand Anthony's onslaught.
But his height and reach still loom over Anthony.
This made Anthony quite uncomfortable.
It's uncomfortable, and the shot still has to be executed.
He used a nice pull-up spin past Eddie Griffin at the free-throw line.
But just as he turned to shoot, a yellow figure jumped up quickly, which made him nervous, and his shooting action was slightly deformed.
At the same time, he heard Bruce yelling beside him: rebound!! Kwame!!
He hurried to look into the restricted area...... Bang!
Basketball is still iron.
This interference by Bruce played a crucial role. Originally, Cameron was nine out of ten shots.
Just as the basketball slammed into the iron, Kwame Brown immediately suppressed Marcuscanbee to jump.
But at this time, Kenyon Martin, who was pressed behind by Odom, escaped, and he quickly ran over.
Once he grabs the rebound, the Nuggets will get the final wave of offense, and the Lakers are hanging.
And at this point, Kwame Brown made a surprising move.
He didn't go directly to grab the basketball, but slapped it back hard...... Syllable!
The basketball flew behind him.
At that moment, Bruce struck like lightning and grabbed the basketball before everyone else.
Then he quickly ran to the front.
As he ran, the Nuggets players were desperate to foul forward, and they wanted to use foul tactics to stop time and create the last chance for the team.
But... Bang!
Bruce shook off Andre Miller at the free-throw line with a change of direction, and then he continued to lunge forward.
J.R. Smith started blocking from near the three-point line, but it was still unsuccessful, and Bruce turned past him with a back.
He hurried in pursuit.
When he tried his best to chase the middle line, he was finally about to catch up with Li Zhen. He hurried to foul with a near-flying action... It's all within his range.
However, Bruce has changed.
At the moment when he was about to stop and hug Li Zhen, Li Zhen quickly changed direction... At that time, there was no way to continue, and JR Smith, who had no force, ran forward several steps as a buffer when his center of gravity was out of control, but in the end he still did not stabilize...... Poof!
JR Smith fell to the ground for the third time in the race.
The scene burst into laughter.
By this time, Bruce had already pinched his watch and rushed into the three-point line, throwing the basketball into the sky as Carmelo Anthony grabbed his right hand hard! 、
Swish!
When the basketball falls to the net and the referee blows the whistle to signal 2+1.
The scene was boiling.
The big picture is decided, there are only 2.2 seconds left in the game, and no matter how strong the Nuggets are, it will be difficult for them to escape. Because they didn't have a timeout, they could only serve the ball in the backcourt.
When Bruce walked to the free-throw line, the crowd once again resounded with a uniform cheer: Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!! =
The resounding victory of Lee Jin has already become a hero for Stepps tonight.
He became the first man to defend the glory of the arena.
Although the main theme of tonight is the battle for the scoring title between Black Mamba and Melon.
This was despite Kobe Bryant's season-high 62 points.
However, Bruce's last-minute play stole all the scenes.
For the first time in the NBA, he became a game-dominating superhero.
And JR Smith, who fell in front of him for the third time, has long been the laughing stock of everyone.
He is like the harlequin in all youth movies... Not even the villains, their appearance is only to set off the first appearance of the protagonist.
And Bruce, with his backdrop, is exceptionally perfect!
Swish!
Perfect Hit Free Throw.
Bruce scored 17 points, along with 11 assists and four steals.
He was perfect tonight, even flawless.
Buss Sr. and his daughter had even rubbed their palms together in the VIP box, and the game raised their expectations. Originally, they thought Bruce's limit was to be a fringe all-star and a box office star with explosive commercial value.
But tonight, Bruce showed something more than gorgeous... His ruthlessness, his determination, and his sharpness are the lethal weapons that made the Lakers win in the last moment!
Bang!
With Carmelo Anthony missing his last long-range shot, the game ended with a rapid electronic beep.
Bruce was soon surrounded by his teammates, and the excited Kwame Brown and Eddie Griffin even hugged him excitedly.
This is a rare smile for Kwame Brown.
It is also the innocence that the drunkard Griffin rarely shows.
"Bruce didn't just win games."
Phil Jackson stood on the sidelines, smiling and slowly squinting. When Kwame Brown and Eddie circled around Bruce, when Black Mamba stretched out his arms to high-five him, when Radmanovic and Vujacic on the bench ran over to join in the celebration.
He realizes that Bruce is becoming the team's super glue and super starter at an incredible rate!!
This new season has a lot to offer!
