Chapter 132: Incredible Goal
After seeing the way I looked, the Jazz must have known that the power of this last offense was in my hands, so a few of the players on the floor were basically focused on me, and I knew that they would be ready to defend or pack me at any time after I launched the offense.
Of course, if I just shoot from beyond the three-point line, they will definitely not help me defend, but as long as I have the idea of attacking them inside to score on the inside, I will definitely be affected by their tight defense.
I still have a clear understanding of this, but it's hard to say what I should do next, I pressed the time to the last ten seconds before the end of the first half to start attacking, in fact, it only took less than five seconds for me to complete my attack.
Stockton's defense for me at this time has become a close pressing defense, his defense in addition to the normal defense, there are a lot of small actions that are not easy to detect by the referee, his small actions often seem to be powerless, but it is easy to cause the attacker's psychological imbalance, once you enter the trap he provides you, it is quite difficult for you to get out, and it is very likely that you will completely lose your own offensive rhythm.
In the basketball game, it is often necessary to pay attention to a rhythm, whether it is offensive or defensive, the rhythm of the game is always one of the most important things, if you can have a better offensive rhythm, you can get better opportunities in the game, do something you may not be able to do in normal times.
In the face of Stockton's tight defense, I first looked him in the eye and told him that I wasn't afraid to confront him head-on, and then I used a backdribble and then followed by a back-step after turning, which was very difficult, and most importantly, I did all these seemingly meaningless moves just to confuse Stockton.
When I stepped back, Stockton subconsciously pounced desperately, trying to defend my possible back-to-back three-point shooting, which is actually very rare in this era, but now that I have made this similar move, Stockton, as a three-point teller, will definitely not dare to let me shoot completely.
After all, if I throw this ball, it will directly overtake the score and put the Jazz team who have led by a full half into a state of backwardness, which will be a big blow to their morale.
However, my back step was just the beginning, of course, my real purpose was not to shoot three-point shots, and when Stockton pounced on my three-point shot with all his might, my real offensive intent was revealed, which was to break through, in fact, I had used a similar move to get past Stockton's defense.
I just didn't expect him to get my feint for the second time in a game, it seems that for the experienced and experienced Stockton, such a thing should not have happened, but it did happen, I just used a feint to step back and worship the Buddha, and once again deceived Stockton.
And then I accelerated forward, speaking of which this action was borrowed from Iverson's breakthrough move, and then I added some ideas of my own, which became a new breakthrough stunt now, as long as I can successfully use this breakthrough move, the defender of me will fall into a rather difficult situation.
Because my projection ability still has a certain intensity, and my outside projection form has been surprisingly good since the start of the second quarter today, and I have also shot several extremely difficult balls against Stockton's strong defense, so this is why Stockton didn't dare to let me go.
What I didn't expect was that my movements were so large and so fast, and in just a moment, Stockton was once again far behind me.
Stockton estimated that his face was already blue and purple at this time, not because of injury, but because of anger, hahaha!
However, after passing Stockton, I still had to face the full force of the other Jazz players, and sure enough, they completely contracted at the moment, and when I saw Stockton being broken by me, all four of them actually shrank into the interior at the same time, as if they were going to directly strangle me in their pocket formation.
Stockton didn't do much at the moment, and he was just watching me from beyond the three-point line for this final attempt.
However, the other players on the Jazz team contracted the bag so quickly that it was clear that they must have done some drills specifically for such a scenario in their usual practice, so that now after something like this happened, everyone immediately launched a near-perfect bag on me.
But now that I've rushed in, there's no turning back, and even though I'm surrounded and intercepted by four people, I'm determined to get the ball in.
When I broke through the area along the halfway line to the baseline, the Jazz players seemed to have completely blocked my path, and I had to quickly create a small break space for myself with a turn, and then I lowered my center of gravity and came to the near baseline.
At this point, Karl Malone was also chasing from behind, trying to block my shot, and I was already under the basket and almost lost room to shoot, but I didn't give up.
I thought that Michael Jordan had been forced by his opponent to this state of no room at all, and now I am facing the same situation, and I can only have a chance if I fight hard.
I slammed one foot on the ground, and then I completely took off into the air, and several people wrapped me together in the air, but my ability to stay in the air was extremely amazing, and I actually dodged the defense of three or four people in a row in the air, and then my body twisted at an extremely strange angle.
By throwing the ball backwards, I couldn't see the basket at all, and my body control was at its limit, and if I stayed in the air for another 0.2 second, I might lose the strength to throw the basketball out.
Eventually, I flew far away, which was caused by my loss of balance in the air after the jump, and I barely managed to get up after rolling on the ground a few times.
I heard the whistle blow, it was my goal that scored, and it even caused another foul on the Jazz defenders, and it didn't matter who the foul was, this time I went through the Jazz's five-man defense and then hit the basketball into the box.
By this time I seemed to have heard the boos from the Jazz on the road, and I knew that they were not directed at me, but at their home team.
Because in their opinion, our Lakers today is back-to-back away games, and it is in the absence of Shaq, the last time we played in the same situation, we led the Lakers by 30 points at halftime, but today's situation turned out to be that the first half may not only not be able to lead, but may even enter the second half with a disadvantage.
And the key point is that none of the five players on their Jazz team can prevent me from attacking alone, which is difficult for any fan to accept.
I smiled and got up from the ground, and the Lakers teammates rushed up and collided with me, and it seemed that they were also stunned by my performance, probably in their opinion, the move I just did was something that only Michael Jordan could do!
But they don't know that in private, I have actually practiced similar difficult layups, but I didn't expect to be able to use it in actual combat, or it was done under the blocking of four people at the same time.
Then I made the free throws so that after the first half, we Lakers really went into the second half with a one-point advantage, which we didn't expect in the first quarter or at the beginning of the game.
Of course, after this section, my physical consumption is also very large, I have always been very physical, I even have some gasping situation, I dare not drink too much water in one breath, although I feel very thirsty, but I know that I must restrain my strong desire to drink water.
Because I knew that after such a high-intensity game, I had to try to restrain my desire to drink water, otherwise I would not be able to maintain a good condition in the second half.
If we drink a lot of water after a large amount of dehydration, it is very likely to lead to the imbalance of ions in our body, once this happens, our body muscles will become stiff, will lose strength, and then our own body will become inflexible, and then it is very likely to lose control of our own body.
It is for this reason that I only dare to drink water in small sips, and I drink several kinds of water, in addition to the special drink provided by the team, I will also drink a drink that I have specially prepared myself, which can help me to better recover the energy of my body.
Broadcasting in this era is not so developed, so there are not so strict standards for the brand of water that players drink, and I can still bring in the drinks I mix, which seems to be a miracle.
At halftime, I finally chose to enter a meditative state, this time when I entered a meditative state, I heard a voice that I had not heard for a long time, that is, the voice from Kobe's soul, I didn't communicate with him in a meditative state during this time, I don't know what kind of news he can bring me this time.
"I saw your performance in the first half, especially in the second quarter, which was really impressive, and I don't think I could have done it better if I had done it myself, but I have something else to tell you."
"Hahaha, this kind of competition is indeed quite difficult, but I also feel that my physical condition has reached a certain limit, it seems that the usual training time below can not be too long, like this high-intensity competition and training arranged together, I am afraid that this body will not be able to bear it."
"Well, you've been training a little too long, even longer than I might have done, and of course I know my own body, and it should still be able to support you for a while, hahaha, but what I really want to talk to you about today is about that taxi driver."
"Well, why did you think to talk about him? When we were chatting with him in the car, you should have heard all the things he said, what do you think about it? ”
"Well, what to say, at first I was very skeptical of everything he said, but then I suddenly remembered one thing, and that is that this taxi driver seems to be a guy I once met in your subconscious."
"What? Impossible! I've never seen a taxi driver like this in my memory! ”
"Not in the real world, but in your dreams!"
"That's even more impossible, think about it, most of my dreams are very bizarre, how can a stranger who has never met appear in my dreams?"
"I was strange at first, but in the end I had to accept that it was true, that he did enter your dream, and I really don't remember exactly when."
"And what else did you find? What did he do in my dreams? Is there any necessary connection between him and our encounter in the real world? ”
"I'm not very good at answering your question directly, because I'm still in the process of investigating this matter, but you can rest assured that this taxi driver is not a bad person, and there may be some information that is as he said."
"Are you saying that you think all the incredible things he said are true? For example, aren't the many times we go to the real Sir Faustin's estate? ”
"Yes, that's right! The real Sir Faustin's manor is still hidden, but I don't know if it's really as the taxi driver said, and since he has appeared more than once in your dreams, don't you really have any impression of him? ”
"I really don't have any impression at all, if I really remember him, I must have recognized him at the time, and now I recall those past dreams, everything is like a blur, like someone has completely blocked them in the depths of my brain, if I don't have the ability like you, I naturally can't understand the truth."
"Well, I have to say, your dreams are really messy, at first I thought I could interpret a lot of things in your dreams, but then I realized that I couldn't do that, they were so bizarre and they were doing it in an extraordinary way."
Then Kobe Bryant and I chatted casually, but I found that Kobe's soul was also in a state of confusion at this time, in fact, he did not find the real answer and truth, but fell into a deeper confusion.
He told me that when he knows more and more things, he will find that there are more and more things he doesn't know, and I agree with his statement, because I also deeply sympathize with this, but how to say it, now he needs to face the troubles of these truths all the time, and I can hide in the wonderful world of basketball.
The reason why I was able to stay on the basketball court all day long and do boring basketball training was because I could really find my own fun in this seemingly boring thing, and if I could describe this feeling, it might not be as boring as I imagined.
When you really find the joy in it one day, you might really be completely addicted to it, and if I had 50 hours a day, I would probably spend 40 hours playing basketball.
In fact, in the process of throwing the basketball into the basket, your brain does not stop thinking, you can play while thinking about some things, and when your body is moving, your whole thinking will be different from usual, if you have not experienced this feeling, then it is too regrettable.
Because that feeling is really good, you won't be confused by some strange thoughts in your head, because a large part of your attention is on basketball.
At this time, your left brain and right brain, your brain and cerebellum, will develop in a relatively balanced state, and you will feel that your life has become clear, and at that moment you can see some things that you can't usually see, and some truths of life that you can't discover no matter how focused you are.
You might think I'm crazy when I say that, but a lot of things just seem weird, and when you actually get involved, you don't think it's a weird thing.
We humans always like to look at things from our own inherent perspective, so there will be a lot of biases, in fact, many of the so-called right or wrong are relative, and only because you are limited by your perspective will appear in that situation.
Of course, we really have to have a clear perspective when we are in that perspective, and if that is the case, you don't need to be obsessed with whether your ideas are right or wrong.
