Chapter 137: Victory and the Magician's Prophecy

"Erwin, it's frustrating. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 "When there are two minutes left in the game between the Spurs and the Lakers, 104-95, the Lakers are still 9 points behind the Spurs, especially every time O'Neal scores a goal, or Duncan, or Meng Xu, or Sean Elliott, someone on the Spurs' side will immediately stand up and shoot back, this kind of scene simply makes the fans who support the Lakers despair.

"Shaq was good enough, he scored 40+ again in this game, but the rest of the Lakers didn't play very well, and the Spurs seemed to have everyone scored, and Tim Duncan only scored 24 points in this game, which looked incredible." Although Magic Johnson has been strictly neutral in the commentary, when the Lakers are really going to be eliminated, Magic is still a little sad: "It's really a pity, this season's Lakers are strong enough, but they still can't touch the highest honor, maybe Lakers fans will have to wait another year." ”

"Phil Jackson called a timeout and replaced Shaq O'Neal, and it looked like he was going to give up." When there was 1 minute and 40 seconds left in the game, O'Neal missed the hook, Duncan grabbed the rebound, the Spurs launched a fast break, and after Meng Xu scored a layup, the Spurs' lead had reached 11 points, and the Lakers basically had no hope.

"Coach, I don't want to give up yet." On the Lakers' bench, almost all of the Lakers players had lost their fighting spirit, but Kobe Bryant was still standing there and insisting on playing.

"Bastard, this game isn't over yet." When Phil Jackson used the Lakers' last timeout, Kobe Bryant was the only one left on the court for several of the Lakers' main players.

"If only I could still find the feeling of that game." Standing one step away from the top of the arc with the ball, looking at Meng Xu, who was defending himself not far away, Kobe Bryant fell into deep thought, and the first two games of the Spurs series Kobe has not performed very well, under the key care of Meng Xu and Mario Eli, Kobe has not been able to play at the level of the King series, so Kobe has also been questioned by countless people, but in the third game of the series with the Spurs, Kobe suddenly broke out, and that almost invincible state has been unforgettable to this day.

"What's going on?" Looking at Kobe Bryant in front of him, Meng Xu suddenly felt as if something was wrong, and sure enough, just one second after Meng Xu had this premonition, Kobe moved.

"This is going to be shot?" When Meng Xu stared at Kobe Bryant intently, trying to predict his offensive movements, Kobe Bryant took a step forward, and jumped up directly close to Meng Xu.

Completely ignoring Meng Xu's defense, after jumping outside the three-point line, his body leaned back sharply, and after a pause in the air, the basketball in Kobe's hand flew above Meng Xu's fingertips.

"That's what it feels, that's what it feels." After hitting the three-point shot, as he stepped back, Kobe Bryant clenched his fist and muttered to himself, and after three games, Bryant once again found the feeling in that game.

"Supergod again?" Looking at this weird Kobe, Meng Xu was also a little speechless, but fortunately, time was running out, even if Jordan possessed him, the Lakers had no way to turn the tables.

"Bryant, you're hopeless." When Meng Xu was holding the ball and standing in almost the same position as Kobe Bryant's attack just now, looking at Kobe Bryant defending himself in front of him, Meng Xu was slapping the basketball to consume time, while staring at Kobe Bryant who was not far from him.

Just after the Lakers called a timeout and replaced all the main players except Kobe, the Spurs also replaced Avery Johnson, Tim Duncan and Mario Elli, just in case, Popovich still put Meng Xu and Sean Elliott on the court.

"These two little guys are so amazing, and in this series, they have shown a lot of energy, and maybe in the next few years, the whole West or the whole league will belong to the Lakers and Spurs." When Meng Xu delayed for almost 20 seconds and ended the attack with a 3-point jump, Magic Johnson looked at Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant on the court and let out a sigh that seemed to be a prophecy.

Kobe Bryant, who has been the main player this season, has ushered in explosive growth in statistics, averaging 27.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in the King's series, establishing his position in one fell swoop, and scoring 45 points in a single game in the third game against the Spurs. The combination of Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, as long as they don't encounter injuries, will be the favorite to win the championship every year. And the other little guy, although he is still just a rookie, but his performance in this round of the series, is no worse than Kobe, in this round of the series, he first scored 5 * 5 epic data, and in the last game he won the first 3 doubles of his career, and this game has 20 points, 11 boards and 8 assists, although these are two players with completely different styles, but there is no surprise, their future is equally bright, and Meng Xu's teammates are even better than Kobe, Duncan, who has entered his prime, and David Robinson, who is old and strong, can predict that in the future, the Lakers and Spurs will dominate the entire West, and even the entire league.

Just when Magic Johnson was still sighing, when Meng Xu hit a three-point shot, the Lakers directly launched a fast attack, without the slightest drag, Kobe Bryant hit directly outside the three-point line, and the Lakers' entire offense only took 10 seconds.

With 1:05 left and 109-101, the Lakers players on the court began to use foul tactics, Jaren Jackson made one of two free throws, and the Spurs still led by nine points.

Tyrese Knight, who grabbed the rebound, found Kobe Bryant with a long pass directly, and in the face of Meng Xu and Tleberg's encirclement, Kobe Bryant jumped directly at a distance of one meter from the three-point line, and after hitting the three-point shot, 110-104, the difference between the two teams narrowed again.

When Bryant hit three three-pointers in a row, the already sparse Staples Center erupted in loud cheers and applause again, and these cheers were undoubtedly given to Bryant.

Sean Elliott, who was fouled this time, like Jaren Jackson, Sean Elliott also made one of two free throws, but this time the Lakers' offense was not the same as the last time, when there were 40 seconds left, Kobe Bryant faced the Spurs' three-man block, and once again jumped one meter outside the three-point line, but this time Kobe's shot failed to hit, and after Samaki Walker grabbed the rebound, Brian Shaw fouled Samaki Walker directly.

When Samaki Walker withstood the pressure and hit both free throws, 112-104, with 40 seconds left, the Lakers, who had no timeout, were basically powerless.

When the final score was fixed at 116-109, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, and the Spurs eliminated the Lakers who were the first in the regular season in two consecutive games after falling behind 3-2 and entered the Western Conference Finals, and the Spurs' opponent in the Western Conference Finals will be the Spurs' biggest nemesis this season, the Portland Trail Blazers.
