Chapter 100 [Whistle Kill, Thanks for Injury]

Jerry Sloan didn't make a substitution on the deadball and didn't call a timeout. He believes that Stockton can help the team on both offensive and defensive ends more than backup point guard Jacqui Vaughn, ignoring the age of his disciples.

The Jazz two elders played a block and dismantle in the middle, Guo Xu chased the defense in place from the inside, blocking Stockton's breakthrough route, and Fox lowered his center of gravity to guard against Ma Long, so that he could not quickly cut into the air.

Stockton leaned on Guo Xu with his back on the right side, and suddenly a one-handed pass to the low post, Lewis ran back to get rid of Ryder and cut to the basket, and received the basketball.

The Lakers now lack an inside rim and have obvious weaknesses, and Kobe Bryant let go of Starks to fill in the defense and showed excellent awareness of helping defense. Lewis split the ball to Starks, who cut on the left, and Bryant turned back to defend and blocked the shot by pulling a foul.

After years of competition, Kobe Bryant is familiar with the opponent's offensive path. Unless the Jazz are too far behind, the players will definitely score two points in the final moments, try to hit the basket as far as possible, and shoot close to the basket.

It's Sloan's basketball philosophy, where shooting percentage is the key to winning, and he's the kind of old-school coach who hates three-point shooting.

Even though the Jazz used to have super-shooter "Death Gun" Hornacek, they averaged only 10.4 three-point attempts per game last season, hitting 4 of them, a 38.5% shooting rate. The Jazz shot 44.4% from three-point range and made 4 of 9 from the field.

Starks withstood the pressure and made both free throws. 95 to 95.

With just 14 seconds left, the Lakers have one last chance to win or go to overtime.

Guo Xu had watched countless NBA games in his previous life, and he knew that he would have to press the time at this time, make the last shot of the whistle, and not give the opponent a chance to reverse. Jackson didn't call a timeout to arrange his tactics, and he decided to make a move.

The Jazz did not change the defense, it was still Stockton against Guo Xu, this is a veteran's face problem, Stockton was misplaced against Jordan and Pippen in the finals that year, and he did not flinch, if he faced the last rookie and needed his teammates to change the defense, he should announce his retirement.

Time passed second by second, Guo Xu glanced at the timer, and the last three seconds were activated, dribbling the ball to the left hand under the crotch, and quickly changing direction to the right.

Stockton judged accurately, moved sideways in front of Guo Xu and kept a distance of more than one step. Stockton has been playing for the Jazz since entering the league, and he has a concept in his mind that most people will choose to shoot closer to the basket, and Guo Xu will definitely shoot a two-point shot.

This kind of experience and sense of distance hurt Stockton, Guo Xu is a strange person who shoots accurately from the three-point range. His shot selection is always the first three-point drive, followed by the layup, and the mid-range shot is last.

Guo Xu stepped back with his right foot and stepped out of the three-point line, his step was very big, it looked like he jumped backwards, but the action was very coherent, and the referee would not blow the step violation. He leaned back slightly and threw the ball to the basket at about 70 degrees to the right of his most accurate position.

Stockton was pulled away, and it was too late to take a step forward and jump again, he started at an average speed, bounced even slower, and reached out for only a slight interference.

As soon as Guo Xuqiu made a move, he immediately turned around and raised his hands in celebration, imitating the classic celebration of Arenas in his previous life.

Before Arenas, no one in the NBA was so domineering, so confident, so arrogant. As the ball flew into the hoop, the crowd cheered for Arenas, and the arrogant celebration highlighted his "killer" nature.

Guo Xu didn't know if the ball could go in, but he just glanced at the trajectory of the ball's flight, and the shot was very positive, and the arc was good. It doesn't matter if you don't enter, he's strong, he's strong, Lao Tzu Jason Guo ......

All the fans held their breath, the time for the ball to fly in the air was already over, and under the gaze of 20,000 spectators in Staples, the ball hollowed into the net!

98 to 95, Guo Xu's personal 18th point, hit the whistle killer ball!

Listening to the tsunami-like cheers around him, Guo Xu continued to hold his hands high, he knew that the ball had scored, and he had succeeded in pretending to be B!

Jackson applauded with a smile on the sidelines, Bryan Shaw, who was closest to Guo Xu, stepped forward to give him a hug, and O'Neal also rushed up from the bench to grab him.

The atmosphere reached its peak, Guo Xu's friend Austin Nichols came to watch the game with his father's season ticket, and waved excitedly in the front row, he really wanted to rush into the stadium to participate in the celebration, but it was inconvenient.

Guo Xu didn't forget Austin, and walked to the sideline after high-fiveing his teammates one by one, and clapped his hands with him.

A slow-motion replay of Guo Xu's stunner was broadcast on the big screen on the court, and Woodson exclaimed: "I can't believe that he started to celebrate before the goal, completely ignoring the defensive Stockton, he is facing an NBA legend, one of the top 50 stars in history!" ”

Horvas sighed: "Yesterday he cut 30+, today back-to-back kills the Jazz, Jason doesn't act like a fledgling rookie at all, I think he can already lock up the best rookie of the season, he has a big heart!" ”

"I think his celebratory gesture is going to be a classic, he's really daring," Woodson laughs. ”

In East Lanxin City, Guo Xu's small restaurant broadcast the game live on TV, and after Guo Xu's lore, the guests who came to eat congratulated Guo Xu's family one after another.

"In the future, don't forget our old neighbors."

"When Jason comes back, ask him to sign me a few more names."

"I won't be long before you can all go to Los Angeles and have fun."

It was announced that Lekle danced awkwardly in the restaurant, laughing like Donald Duck, and people believed that Guo Xu had his "excellent" genes, and even dancing seemed to be genetic.

Blake is going to write a letter to his eldest brother Harry in Britain tonight, telling him about his grandson, the family is going to have a big star, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, and it is really good to be good for everyone.

In the apartment, Megan Fox, who had just answered the phone, couldn't cry or laugh, realizing that Guo Xu was really going to become a big star.

The stepfather and sister both asked her if she could get Guo Xu's autograph, and it would be better if Guo Xu could help get the signature of the OK group, and the signed Lakers jerseys of the three people would be very commemorative in the future.

Fisher immediately turned off the TV and threw the remote control aside after seeing Guo Xu's lore at home. He didn't want to watch the replay of Guo Xu's goal for the second time, nor did he want to see his teammates celebrate.

Even if he didn't look at it, his mood couldn't calm down for a long time. Guo Xu didn't score as much as he played, but he had a highlight performance, the media must love him to death, his position with the Lakers has become stable, and he can't fight for his comeback.

The Internet is even more lively, with fans posting about the game on several major websites in the United States, sports forums, and the official Lakers website.

"Which of the Lakers is the last rookie? It's just the champion, and now the Lakers' game is so exciting! ”

"Who says Chinese Americans can't play basketball? Jason Guo may not only be the first Chinese-American player to play in the NBA in history, but also the strongest Chinese-American player in future history. ”

"Jason Guo is really strong, he didn't pass Kobe Bryant at the last moment, and he was killed. He scored 10 points in the last 5 minutes of the quarter, true leader. ”

"One game is played well by chance, two games are obviously strength, thanks to Fisher's injury, if he doesn't get injured maybe Jason won't be reused, the Lakers will lose today."

Fisher must have been angry when he watched the news on the Internet, and God thanked Fisher for his injury.
