With Eddie Jones' three-pointer, our Lakers temporarily led the Rockets by three points, which was a very thirst-quenching three-pointer, especially given the scoring efficiency of both sides in recent times, which could be the three-pointer that helped us win this game.

The Lakers players also showed some long-lost smiles on their faces at this time, among which Shaq's smile was the brightest, and I seemed to hear him talking about what nightclub he was going to party at night, but fortunately, head coach Silver Fox Harris took over the topic and strangled his carnival mobilization in the cradle.

Silver Fox Harris didn't smile, he was quite surprised by the tactical execution of our game in this game, and felt that this pre-game tactical training must have played a little too much.

In fact, what he doesn't know is that many of these Lakers players don't know these tactics, they may just need such a tactical drill to string them together, and I don't know more reasons, but the results are really here, and it turns out that as long as we are willing to seriously implement the head coach's tactics, then we can still implement them in place, even if we are not physically fit.

Now that I think about it, if we could have had today's tactical execution against the Jazz before, maybe the result would have been different, of course, there is no what ifs in this world, and the most important thing for us now is to finish this game.

With almost a minute of overtime ticking, the Rockets finally replaced their two starters, and in the first offense after a timeout, they reverted to playing with Olajuwon at the free-throw line.

The Rockets' previous triangle offense generally used the glider Drexler to be the one who cut inside without the ball, but this time they switched to Barkley as the one who cut inside without the ball, and the Rockets first let Olajuwon form a center near the free throw line, and then let the glider make a high post block for Barkley, and Barkley cut to the bottom corner outside the three-point line.

I was a little surprised that with Barkley's three-point and mid-range shooting, he has a lot of limitations as the player who cuts inside, and the only thing he can pose a threat is to break along the baseline, but it turns out that I was wrong.

Barkley did break along the baseline, but his breakthrough was actually just a cover, because Barkley's personal inside impact was stronger than that of the glider Drexler, so when he broke along the bottom corner, I also temporarily gave up the defense of the glider and wanted to rush over to trap Barkley.

However, this was in the hands of the Rockets, who took advantage of our fear of Barkley's impact and successfully made me temporarily give up the defense of the glider, at which point when Barkley turned around and returned the ball to the glider who had reached the bottom corner three-point line, I was completely confused, and I could only watch the glider shoot this open three-point shot very easily.

After brushing it, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the glider's score in this game came to 30 points, and at this time I really wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

The three-pointer was so critical that it allowed the Rockets to tie the score again, and the game advantage and the psychological advantage that we had just built up were buried in just one round, and it was still me who made the defensive mistake.

But Shaq came over and patted me on the back, seemingly telling me not to pay too much attention to it, the game wasn't over yet.

yes, it's not over yet, and I can't lose my resolve to win because of this goal.

Shaq sent me the ball very quickly and this time I didn't rush to push the ball up the pitch and control the tempo, every ball is very important for us now.

This time Shaq plans to go to the interior to eat a single one, I looked at the Rockets' defensive strategy, and I have asked the big dream Olajuwon to defend Shaq alone, and it seems that Barkley's physical fitness is already difficult to use up with Shak.

I hoisted the ball high to Shaq, who was already in a good position on the inside, and he held the ball high above his head with his back to prevent it from being taken away by other Rockets players who came to help the defense, but at this time there were no other Rockets players who had any wrapping up on Shaq, and it seemed that everyone's fitness had reached their limit and needed some rest to get them back a little.

Shaq was completely unreasonable, seeing that no one came to help defend, he simply opened the way with his own shark steps, first pushed back the big dream Olajuwon, so that his center of gravity sank back, and then there was a heavy impact, a muffled snort came, and the big dream Olajuwon also took advantage of the situation to reach out to get the ball in Shak's hand.

However, Shaq turned around very nimble as if he had a spinning top installed at his feet, and then hit the basket with a small hook to give our Lakers a two-point lead again.

The Rockets served from the baseline, but I didn't immediately defend back, because I found a very good opportunity, one of the Rockets' starters didn't seem to be fully into the game, the whole person's attention seemed to be a little infocused, when Barkley passed the ball out, I suddenly rushed out from behind the receiver, directly cut the ball, and then scored with a low hand layup very easily.

Instantly, the Staples Arena resounded with the roar of the fans, and I beat my chest hard and responded to the enthusiastic fans with a long howl.

The Rockets are already four points behind us, which is more than a goal difference, and if we can take the Rockets down in the next round, then the game will be very favorable for us, after all, the game is almost in the final three minutes.

The Rockets are also starting to panic a little at this time, time is getting less and less, and the pressure on them is getting bigger and bigger, don't look at just 4 points behind, but these 4 points can't be chased back in one round, the game is played at this time when both sides are completely out of physical fitness, the speed of the offense will definitely be slow, and the number of rounds in the relative game will be reduced a lot, plus the impact of physical fitness on the shooting rate, if there is a situation where you can't score for a long time like before, then it can really be said to be a nightmare.

At this time, the Rockets can no longer pull up the rhythm of the game, there may be so last breath before, now I'm afraid that the body is not on the verge of cramping, in fact, many times in basketball games, the speed of physical consumption is unimaginable for ordinary people, and when your body is completely overdrawn, it is not simply relying on willpower to make up for it, and in this case, the probability of athlete injury will really increase geometrically, Especially for those athletes who are already old, so the three cores of the Rockets must have some plans in their hearts at this time, after all, this is just a regular season game, whether it is worth betting on the risk of injury to fight, and it is even likely that it will not be able to fight.

I believe that at this time, the three experienced Hall of Fame stars have already made their own decisions in their hearts.

Sure enough, the Rockets' next two offenses are a little weak, as the so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the role of morale is not only useful in marching and fighting, but also in competitive sports, especially in multi-person cooperative competitive sports, there is a kind of invisible and intangible thing called momentum on the basketball court itself, but it is a real thing that will affect the outcome of the game.

These two Rockets' offenses have lost their sharpness, and they no longer have the impact of the previous game when they were in a tie, but in fact, our Lakers have also reached the point of running out of ammunition, when they found that the Rockets' offense was weakened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this breath of relief, in fact, our own side has no way to muster up new offensive momentum, and it has become as weak as the Rockets, and it is also hesitant and inefficient on the offensive end.

The two sides have entered a new round of scoring drought, but fortunately our Lakers still have a 4-point lead after all, in fact, at this time, as long as anyone has the strength to break through, the defensive side will basically not be able to keep up with his speed, I also had a good opportunity to break through to the basket, but in the end I was not able to grasp the opportunity when I went to the basket, so that a ball that could have been the coffin of this game was missed.

With less than a minute left before the end of overtime, the Rockets called one of their last two timeouts.

My Lakers teammates all sat silently in their chairs, and head coach Silver Fox Harris seemed to be a little hoarse because he had to say too much in this game, and I poured a big gulp of energy drink in one go, and the sweat had completely soaked my jersey, which was the first time I had shed so much sweat in a game this season.

I didn't feel so difficult in the previous game against the Jazz, probably because I was playing as a starter for the first time in this game, on the one hand, I had to face a very strong opponent, a future Hall of Fame player, in the previous era, it can be said that there are very few people who can compare with Joe in the position of shooting guard, although he is a little old now, his real strength is still very scary, and I still scored 30 points under my defense so hard throughout the game, You must know that the total number of points scored by each team is just over 100 points now, and the points in this era are relatively small.

On the other hand, my playing time in this game has increased significantly, if I don't count overtime, my playing time is nearly 30 minutes, counting overtime is close to 35 minutes, and the sudden increase in playing time has really affected my physical arrangement, and for a while I didn't have a correct preparation for my physical exertion, which also affected my scoring efficiency in the whole game.

Scoring 25 points in the starting line is not the same as scoring 25 points on the bench, and although I am alone on the bench and I am surrounded by opposing players, I am probably good at playing under the pack, so I feel that getting into the starting lineup is undoubtedly a milestone in my career and the beginning of a new challenge.

After the timeout, the Rockets actually replaced the two bench players, and it seems that their head coach still agrees more with the performance of the two bench players in this game, but since the two of them are more suitable to cooperate with the three starting Hall of Fame players, why put them

On the bench?

Could it be that this is all deliberately arranged by the head coach of the Rockets, similar to the game strategy of Tian Ji horse racing?

I don't know what the head coach of the Rockets really thinks, but the game has to go on, at least in this game, the Rockets are very powerful, and their tactical literacy is terrifying.

Sure enough, the first attack of the Rockets after the pause was renewed, sweeping away the previous decline, and the running position became positive and changeable again, but our Lakers players had no way to re-enter a better defensive state in the first time, so we began to be led by the Rockets' tactical running on the defensive end.

The Rockets took advantage of this opportunity and once again adopted their most powerful triangle offensive tactics, only this time their purpose was to find a better three-point shooting opportunity, in fact, they did it, but this time the person who completed the three-point shot was a bit special, not the shooter in the Rockets' lineup, nor the main scoring point glider Drexler, but their center player Dameng Olajuwon, this is completely a reverse block, no one would have thought that there would be a glider to do the final block for the big dream, Then let Big Dream shoot this crucial three-pointer.

Shaq definitely can't defend the outside, which has been reflected in many previous games, the most critical point is that in this game, the big dream Olajuwon did not have a three-point shot attempt at all, and at such a critical moment of the game, who would have thought that he would dare to shoot such a three-point shot.

The scary thing is that this three-point shot is still hollow into the net, and at this moment, the entire Staples Arena is like someone has pressed the pause button, and all the sounds are much quieter in an instant, this silence is suffocating, unbelievable.

This is indeed a great game, at least in the regular season, the two sides of this game seem to have given the fans a visual feast, but it is not over, it is still going on, and it is unknown who will die in the end, you must know that after this three-point shot, our Lakers' lead is back to one point, and there are less than 15 seconds left before the end of the game, will the next ball directly decide the outcome of the game?

Head coach Silver Fox Harris decisively called a timeout, I saw a black line crossed the faces of all the Lakers players, no one thought that the Rockets would shoot such a three-pointer to make the game that was already about to lose suspense become tense and exciting again, no one wants to play a second overtime, it is really going to die!

This is a 20-second short timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris obviously wants to leave the bigger timeout at the end, if there is the next offense, in fact, such a short timeout can not do anything at all, he just told us one sentence, that is, believe in yourself, when the opportunity comes out, to implement, usually prefer to use tactics He even used chicken soup for a while.

Because there are about 15 seconds left after this launch, and we will serve in the frontcourt, and the opponent may not foul us in the first place, in fact, considering that the Rockets have not yet committed a direct free throw, they may first make a foul and then consider a second service interception, and if the time goes to within 10 seconds, I believe they will carry out their last foul.

In the end, Shaq didn't play this time, the Silver Fox Harris replaced with some players with good free throws and passing ability, Robert Horry was assigned to the sideline to serve, because his height vision and passing ability are relatively above the level, I am the first pick to receive the ball, and if I can't catch the ball, there are also Eddie Jones and Van Exel, they will also try their best to run out of the receiving space.

However, when it comes to the actual serve, the accident still happens, the server only has five seconds to send the ball after receiving the ball from the referee, but the Rockets interfered with our receiver almost insanely at this time, which may be the last madness of their game.

Five seconds were about to expire, but Robert Horry couldn't find a chance to catch the ball at all, and head coach Silver Fox Harris had no choice but to call the team's last timeout.

Considering that this is the team's last timeout, Silver Fox Harris has laid out and arranged everything for the team after that, including this service move, as well as the possible second service move, and what to do if there is a service error, and what to do if the Rockets foul and make a free throw, what to do if they make two free throws, what to do if they score one free throw, and what to do if they don't even score a single ball.

I have to say that the thinking of the silver fox Harris is still quite meticulous and meticulous, which is indeed a trait that the team manager needs to have, which is his biggest strength, but sometimes it can also become a disadvantage, I will not go into details about this here, and see how the game continues.

This time, the serve seemed to be slightly smoother, Eddie Jones finally received the ball from Robert Horry, and the Rockets did not foul him at the first time, but began to wrap Eddie Jones at a very fast speed, hoping to force him to make a mistake directly.

Eddie Jones reacted quickly and passed the ball to me directly before the Rockets' bag was formed, and I had two players on my side, but it was Eddie Jones who caught their attention when he received the ball, and I had a chance to run out of the space to catch the ball.

After receiving a pass from Eddie Jones, my first instinct was to run, running with the only amount of physical energy I had left, time would run out in this run, and the Rockets were chasing me desperately, and the time quickly entered within 10 seconds, and it was still passing further, which was more and more disadvantageous for the Rockets.

Finally, I was fouled by the Rockets player, and I was directly pulled to the ground, but unfortunately the referee did not award the Rockets a malicious foul at this time, although this action can really be regarded as a malicious foul, but at that time there was no replay and no coach challenge, the referee said what it was, in fact, at such a final moment, the referee generally does not blow a malicious foul.

Because the number of fouls by the Rockets has not arrived, we still need to serve the ball next, and this time the Rockets' defense is even more crazy, because there is very little time, if they can't steal the serve directly, then there will be less time for them to make mistakes, and there will be less time for them to attack.

However, luck seems to be on our side, Robert Horry's serve has been wrong, his pass is too low, so that Van Exel, who wants to catch the ball, did not catch it directly, the ball rushed towards no one, and the Rockets players frantically chased the ball, and the result was directly out of bounds with the ball.

It was a fluke, with less than five seconds left before the end of the game.

The Rockets still haven't called their last timeout, and our Lakers side has no timeout, and in a short period of time it was Robert Horry's third courtside serve, and this time he finally managed to target me as he ran with all his might, and finally passed the ball to me.

The Rockets players didn't have time to press on the spot anymore, and the moment I got the ball, the two defenders pushed me to the ground, and I was really pushed to the ground, and I felt that the ferocity of the playoffs was at best.

I shook my head and was helped to my feet, the next two free throws were going to be crucial, and the Rockets still didn't call a timeout, and it seemed like they had decided to save that last timeout for after the free throw.

I've always been relatively consistent with my free throws, and I'm more confident about that, because there are some muscle memory things, unless it's too much physical exertion, or a lot of mood swings, or injuries or something like that, elite level free throwers (players who shoot more than 85% of the free throws) are not likely to have a big fluctuation in shooting percentage.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and told myself that it was just two normal free throws, and the next two free throws were safely hit by me to the basket, at which point the Rockets called their final timeout.

During this timeout, all of us breathed a sigh of relief, and only needed to block a three-pointer from the Rockets in the final seconds of the game to win this difficult game, and the Silver Fox Harris kept emphasizing our defensive strategy with a blistering speed, which is to put two points, prevent threes, and try not to foul outside the three-point line, and if you want to foul, it is also a direct foul.

I looked at the Rockets bench at the other end of the court, and their head coach was also saying something to the Rockets players, they must be very uncomfortable at this time, either lose or continue to play the second overtime, what kind of result is what they want most at this time?

The timeout passed in a hurry, and it was the Rockets' turn to serve, and our defenders simply gave up on defending the interior and expanded to defend the receivers.

The man who served was Olajuwon, and I went all out to chase the glider Drexler, and I believe he must be the most likely player for the Rockets to make this shot at this time.

However, we still miscalculated, one of the most unlikely to receive the ball actually received the pass, in fact Barkley was the first Rockets player to receive the pass, but he passed the ball directly after the ball almost touched his finger, and the basketball fell to the Rockets bench player who was outside the three-point line in the bottom corner at this time.

I remember he was still on the inside just now, but who was guarding him?

Wait, what? He's shot!

The basketball makes a perfect arc in the air and then ..... I actually entered!

The whole court was once again in a silence, and the goal had already been shot before the time ran out, so the goal was valid, is the second overtime really coming?

When all the Rockets players frantically rushed to the substitute player who shot the goal, the referee blew the whistle, and the referee said that the video replay should be used to determine the time and position of the shot, and finally decide whether the ball stepped on the line or went out of bounds before the shot.

Staples Arena was so quiet at this time, and our Lakers players were also holding their breath, as if it had been tens of seconds

Of course, it will be as long as tens of minutes.

Finally, the results came in, and the ball stepped on the line when it was shot, which means that the final winner tonight has finally been decided, and that is the owner of Staples Arena, the Purple and Gold in Los Angeles.

The cheers, which had been suppressed for a long time, shook the earth, and many players rushed to the pitch excitedly.

I saw a familiar figure slowly walking towards me at this time, she witnessed this extraordinary night with me, I believe that for a long time, I will remember everything that happened on this game night vividly, this is the first time I won a regular season game as a starter, although it is only a regular season game, but it still means a lot to me, and now I want to share my happiness with the woman in front of me that I cannot describe in words.

I pushed down all the post-game press sessions, and I didn't want them to spoil my mood anyway, so after changing my clothes and taking a simple cold shower, I took Jessica's hand and walked slowly towards the outside of Staples Arena.

To be honest, it seems a little strange that I, as one of the protagonists of this game, just quietly left Staples Arena, but who cares, for Shaq they may be exactly what they want, countless spotlights, national broadcasts and all-night partying, but for me, at least tonight, that's not what I want, this game has exhausted all my strength, I just want to find a place with my loved ones to simply take a walk, have a late night snack or have a drink or something.

"Jessica, this is a really big fight, I don't want to face such a terrible opponent every game night."

"It's strange why you didn't see them fight so hard the last time you were in Houston."

"It's really strange that the Houston fans are the real strange, with such a good team, their fans still don't look satisfied, not even the support, enthusiasm and respect of Ben lately, and it's no wonder that the Rockets are not too excited at home, but come to Los Angeles, and after seeing the enthusiasm of the fans here, they are more willing to give a great game to the fans here."

"Maybe, I can't say these things, maybe it's the trouble of happiness, Houston is not a small city than Los Angeles, but the fans in these two places have such a huge difference."

"Okay, let's stop talking about the game, in fact, it's not too far away after the game and you should go for a drink, I don't know if there are any healthier drinks near Los Angeles, I feel a little thirsty."

"yes, you're sweating as much in one game today as you did in the last two games, but honestly, how do you feel like being a starter?"

"It feels great, I'm a person who likes to compete, and the stronger the opponent, the more I can stimulate my potential and fighting spirit, is this answer quite satisfying, Miss Reporter!"

A smile twitched into the corner of my mouth, and Jessica heard my voice-overs and slapped me lightly on the back.

I unceremoniously hugged her tightly in my arms, and ran towards the car parked not far away, and the people around me cast strange glances at us, and at this moment I felt that the fatigue that existed in my body was gone, and my whole body was full of strength again.

I'm going to find a quieter place with Jessica tonight to visit our two-person world, in fact, I don't know much about the various places in Los Angeles, but Jessica is more familiar with those places that have suitable places for two people to date.

In fact, it is not important what you eat, what matters is the atmosphere of the place where you eat, and who you are going to eat with.

In fact, it seems that there are many such places, but if you really look for them, you may not be able to find them for a while, because Los Angeles in the evening is the most prosperous time in the city, and there are not a few people who choose to come out to enjoy the nightlife at this time, so it seems that it is not easy to find a very quiet place for two people to date.

But we didn't want to go straight home, because it felt like we were cooking our own dinner at home every time, which was romantic but lacked some excitement.

Finally, Jessica drove to a small restaurant near the suburbs of Los Angeles, which is a restaurant on the outskirts of Los Angeles near the mountainside, and the owner of the restaurant is a middle-aged woman who seems to be a mixed race of black, white, and Asian, in short, you can see more than one kind of human characteristics on her face.

However, she speaks English very well, but it doesn't seem to be a local Los Angeles accent, and we think she has a good environment here, the main thing is that it has camping and barbecue as their specialties written on the storefront.

After enlisting Jessica's opinion, we finally chose to have dinner here, and a hearty barbecue really allowed me to replenish my protein after a huge amount of consumption.

It's actually a small farm, where the owner raises some of his own small animals, can also provide some shotguns for guests to experience the joy of hunting, and finally go to the open camp to barbecue their hunted prey.

To be honest, this feeling is actually a very good experience for people who have lived in the city for a long time, and Jessica is also very much looking forward to this experience, but when it comes to hunting, I really have a little interest, and immediately asked Jessica if we would like to go on a road trip around Los Angeles tomorrow and find a bigger farm to go on a safari or something.

Jessica didn't answer me right away, she was silent for a while before she said that there was something to tell me about the barbecue.

I thought about it, and I could roughly guess that what Jessica was going to say should be related to the manor of Sir Faustin that we investigated earlier, and it was indeed that my energy in the past few hours was focused on the basketball game, but I forgot about it a little, and I don't know what Jessica discovered.

Jessica and I have very poor hunting skills, and it may be difficult to shoot a rabbit if we really want to take a shotgun, but it turns out that we just want to blow the wind in the wild and feel the fresh air in nature.

In the end, Jessica and I were not able to catch a single prey, so the owner of the farm had to provide me with the prey I needed for the barbecue, and we asked for half a fawn, which seemed to be enough for Jessica and me to eat, and Jessica herself couldn't eat too much, and I couldn't eat too much, so I had to control my weight.

In fact, it seems that there are still some people who are doing barbecues in this farm, but because the farm is quite spacious, they are quite far away from each other, so they do not interfere with each other.

I lay down on the soft grass and had a barbecue with Jessica while looking at the bright starry sky in the sky, there is always such a beautiful night scene in the suburbs of Los Angeles, as long as it is a clear night, you can clearly see the Milky Way galaxy composed of countless stars.

The Milky Way is so starry that I wonder if there are intelligent life creatures living in other galaxies far away, and when I asked Jessica this question, her eyes radiated a beautiful light, as beautiful as the stars in the sky, and her eyes are indeed the windows to the soul, through which you can see so many incredible things.

"Jessica, let's try my barbecue skills, if you think it's okay, we'll also get a special barbecue equipment to bake at home."

"Why do you have to bake at home, there are so many farms near Los Angeles where you can hunt and barbecue, and barbecuing in the wild is not the same thing as barbecuing at home."

"You have a point, the barbecue itself is not important, the important thing is to be able to eat the barbecue while being close to nature, by the way, Jessica, how are you investigating Sir Faustin's estate."

Jessica was silent for a moment, as if her mind was thinking about how to answer me.

"We may have been involved in a rather complicated incident this time, but the disappearance of my parents is indeed something else, but with our strength, it may be difficult to really find the truth about their disappearance."

I gently patted Jessica on the shoulder to tell her not to look so pessimistic so quickly.

"Listening to your tone, have you learned something deep?"

"Originally, I was going to tell you about these things later, but since you have already asked here, I will tell you directly, you know that the United States government also attaches great importance to the theft of the Los Angeles Museum, among which the FBI and CIA have been involved, which in itself seems a little unusual, because even though the documents in the Los Angeles Museum have a very important value, but you think that first of all, these materials are public, so there should not be any particularly large classified information. In addition, even if classified information is lost, it is unlikely that it will react so quickly. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I suspect that what happened to the Los Angeles Museum this time is just the tip of the iceberg, and it may be just a small part of a huge conspiracy, so in fact, the fundamental reason for the involvement of the FBI and CIA is not that there are any important documents and materials in the museum, but the real reason is really hard to say."

I lowered my head and fell into deep thought, in order to find the reason for the disappearance of Jessica's parents, we found the underground secret room of Jessica's house, and also opened the room of Jessica's parents, watched a large number of videos left by Jessica's parents and grandparents with strange content, and some strange photos left by Jessica's parents, behind the photos there are words and symbols encrypted by some ancient encryption method, and then we found that Jessica's parents are related to the haunted house we found by chance, Later, we found out that the origin of this haunted house was not simple, and it was when we investigated the true identity of this haunted house that we encountered the theft of the museum.

This layer of open fog is like a lock on a Pandora's box that has been opened layer by layer, maybe when we think that we have finally solved all the puzzles one day, will we find that we have actually opened a Pandora's box?
