Chapter 286: The whole world is shocked
It turns out that Randle, as a strong impact forward, has mostly been based on his own solo and receiving teammates' breakthrough points, and what terms such as "passing vision", "active use of field space", and "holding the ball" have always been insulated from him, but this time he clearly saw that almost everyone was standing on the strong side, while Jeremy Lin in the opposite corner was ignored by the opponent, and no one was marked within a radius of 7 feet.
Jeremy Lin saw Randle's gaze and began to cut to the basket, Randle also knew that this was a great opportunity, but there were layers of obstacles in front of him, how could he pass the ball to Jeremy Lin? Jeremy Lin had already started, and before he had time to think about it, Randle made a bold move, he dribbled towards the baseline, kicked the ground and flew out of the baseline, using the out-of-bounds to open a passing angle and smash the ball into bounds before it hit the ground.
The ball smashed on the side sideline of the paint area on the weak side and bounced, just in the hands of Jeremy Lin, who was also a power point guard after all, he jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket after receiving the ball, Valanciunas under the basket had lost the opportunity, and did not jump for fear of a foul, but bent down to protect his head, and Jeremy Lin crossed directly over Walan's head after completing the dunk. Although it was after the dunk, it didn't take long for the news media to post the dunk GIF on the Internet, with the headline flying over the "Iron Curtain" in Eastern Europe to attract traffic.
And this magic stroke that flew out of bounds also opened the door to a new world for Randall, and made him interested in strategy. Randall excitedly muttered to himself, "That's cool! Turns out I can deliver such a subtle and elusive assist like Haugist! ”
However, just as Randle was smug while returning to defense, his defender Carroll took the opportunity to receive a long pass from Lowry and scored a three-pointer.
"Don't TM beauty, the defense is leaking!" Hougist yelled from the sidelines.
Randle hurriedly raised his hand to apologize to everyone, and drove the ball out to Jeremy Lin dribbling past half court, Horgist received the ball on the flank and broke through, accelerated to the interior while the bag was not yet formed, and after passing Rose and Patterson in a row, he easily scored two points again.
The Lakers pressed for a few rounds throughout the court, and the players were also a little tired, this ball The Raptors came to the front court smoothly, Carroll wanted to continue to attack while his hands were hot, but he sent a hit to the iron, and the weak side of Haugist easily picked up the rebound and dribbled back, and constantly changed hands under the crotch on the wing to dribble and pretend to break through, but once again sent a wonderful pass to the inside, Yi Jianlian received the ball strongly, causing Patterson's foul.
Yi Jianlian hit two free throws and the difference returned to 2 points again, the Raptors were eager to fight back, Lowry sent a long pass that ran through the court, but it was too high, and Patterson, who had already sneaked to the basket, failed to receive the ball even if he jumped hard, and this dead ball triggered the second official timeout in the third quarter. The two sides returned to the field to rest. The Lakers didn't make any substitution changes, and the 76ers removed Lowry from the rest and replaced it with Joseph for the final 1:55 of the third quarter, after all, not everyone has a perverted physical ability like Hougist.
After the timeout, the Lakers kicked off the offense, and Hougist jumped up and forced the ball to Jeremy Lin after the flank contained the bag, and Jeremy Lin dribbled through and caused Joseph to foul, which was another opportunity to tie the score! Hoggist clapped his hands with Jeremy Lin and scratched his palm, "Come on, Shuhao, my feel has been passed on to you!" Seize this opportunity to tie the score! ”
Jeremy Lin stepped to the free throw line amid the cheers of the audience, and it seemed that Hoggist really gave him confidence, and the first free throw was easily hit. The referee passed the ball to Jeremy Lin again, and Shuhao took a deep breath, and the audience also took a deep breath, and then held their breath and quietly waited for the result of the free throw.
Jeremy Lin's expression was still relaxed, and he slapped the ball twice at the same pace, and threw the ball out with his raised hand. The ball slides easily into the basket in the same arc. Finally equal! The audience erupted in deafening cheers, the game is going up and down too fast, it's too exciting, there is still a quarter of time, play well, the Lakers will finally win!
The score was tied, and the big stone that pressed on the hearts of the audience was unloaded, and then they gradually resumed their enthusiasm for discussing the game, and it was not until this moment that some viewers finally saw some clues.
"Dad, don't you think Hoggist's performance today is strange?" In the lower grandstands, a 6-foot-9inch, black man about the same age as Hoogist asked his father.
"Oh? Is Hougist any different today? Tell me what you think, Jordan. His father was not very old, and he looked to be in his early forties.
"First of all, did you feel that today's game sounded familiar? Remember the first game you took me to Staples? The big man, Jordan, asked his father.
"How can you not remember?" Jordan's father smiled kindly, his eyes full of fatherly love, "That was 9 years ago, you just turned 11 years old, and you have grown to almost 6 feet, and the teacher at that time told me with full confidence, 'You will definitely be Jordan in the future. Bell is proud that he will be the successor of Russell. Long Beach's second kid after Westbrook who is expected to make it to the NBA! Originally, we planned to go to the Los Angeles derby on your birthday on January 7th, but I was not in Los Angeles for two weeks because of work, so on the 22nd, I returned to Los Angeles after finishing my work trip and took you to watch the Lakers' home game that night, speaking of which, it was also a game against the Raptors that day! And ......"
As he spoke, two glints shot out of Mr. Bell's eyes, and he saw that his father's eyes changed. Bell nodded and said excitedly: "That's right, you also remembered!" That day, the Lakers played the Raptors at home, and we have been behind since the beginning, Kobe Bryant also scored 26 points in the first half, and then led the team to overtake the score with 27 points in the third quarter, and 28 points in the fourth quarter directly beat the Raptors to kneel down and shout Dad! ”
"Watch your wording! Be civilized! Mr. Bell reminded.
"I'm sorry I'm so excited, Kobe Bryant scored 28 points in the fourth quarter and played the game directly, it was the luckiest day of my life, the first time I watched the game live, I saw God wearing the No. 8 jersey performing!" Jordan. Bale's excited shouts also caught the attention of the surrounding fans, and everyone turned back to listen to him tell his story.
Mr. Bell also seemed to recall a lot of details, and then said: "That's right, that's the first time you watched the game live, you were very curious about everything, and asked me a lot of questions, I remember you also asked me why Kobe Bryant dared to shoot no matter how many people he faced, and he could still shoot, and your coach clearly said that this style of play is a cancer style of play, which is not reasonable at all." ”
"yes, I remember you telling me he was the only person on the Lakers who could throw the ball into the basket at will, and anyone with that ability was reasonable to shoot whenever he wanted!" Jordan. Bell smiled, "In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant once stopped the ball at a 0-degree angle, but he couldn't shake off the opponent no matter what, so he pulled it up and forced a shot, and it became 2+1 under interference." Isn't this the 2+1 shot that Hoggist just made? ”
"But Kobe's 2+1 is a desperate forced shot, and Hoggist's 2+1 looks more like an active cheat foul!" A fan next to him interjected.
"That's right!" Some of the fans around him chimed in.
"Yes, indeed! So at the time, I felt like Hoggist was deliberately imitating Kobe's goal, so I downloaded this from the internet during the timeout! "Jordan. Bell raised his mobile phone and played Kobe's 81-point goal highlights, "Compared with my memory of the first half, every goal action of Hogist is deliberately imitating Kobe's goal action that year, and the half-time score is only two points different from that year, since that 2+1 I have watched every ball in comparison, completely synchronized!" And the time is about the same, so this one I think the previous fall was deliberately done by Horgist, in order to forcibly replicate Kobe's 81-point victory over the Raptors! ”
"You're blowing too much! It's hard enough to score 81 points, and he deliberately imitates Kobe? How does he know he's going to be able to score when it's time to score? "The rest of the fans couldn't accept Jordan at all. Bell's statement.
"Is Hougist's projection ability still in question? Anyway, I think Hoggist has been controlling the trend on the court, I don't believe we can bet that Hoggist scored 26 points in the first half, Hoggist scored 23 points in the third quarter, and Hoggist can score another 4 points in the third quarter, and even if Hoggist is played in the fourth quarter, he will not get off the court, he will cut 28 points, so that Hoggist's score must be 81 points in the final game, and the Lakers must have beaten the Raptors 122-104. I won't miss a word of what I say, bet $100! ”
"Don't be funny, why don't you score 81 points? If Hougist is really that good, why not try to hit Chamberlain's 100 points? He's a record shredder! "Some fans have a different point of view.
"Of course you can think so, but I think he wants to completely replicate the 81-point miracle, if you are confident in your own opinion, you can bet against me!" Jordan. Bell said confidently.
At this time, the whole court boiled again, and several people turned their eyes back to the court, and saw that Hougist stole Joseph's horizontal pass, and he dribbled and rode to the front court to complete a 540-degree turn and dunk to overtake the score, 87-85, and the Lakers took the lead again after the opening 1 minute.
"Look! Kobe Bryant's ball is also a dunk after a steal! "Jordan. Bell said, pointing to the screen of his phone.
"Equaled, equaled!" Some fans chanted
"You're stupid, now we're ahead!" Other fans corrected.
"No, I'm not talking about the team score, Hougist equals his personal scoring record of 51 points!" The fan explained, "This is the 12th game of his rookie season, and Hoggist has scored 50 points for the third time!" He's broken down so much in terms of scoring that I have no doubt that he's the best defender of the season, and I even think he's the best defender of all time. ”
"Can he surpass Chamberlain's record of 58 points for his rookie season today?" Someone asked.
"Your assumption is too bold, that stupid big guy over there can say, Hoggist is going to score 81 points today!" Someone took Jordan. Bell's bold prediction was a joke.
"Don't laugh at him, I think what the kid said makes sense, look at everyone, don't they all take out their mobile phones and start comparing and watching Hoggist's performance!" A fan for Jordan. Bell argued.
After a while, the rumors of Hoggist's tribute to Kobe's 81 points spread from Staples to the entire Internet with the airwaves, and many fans who watched live TV or webcast at home opened the highlights or videos of Kobe's 81 points, ready to compare Hoggist's next goal.
The Raptors sent the ball and almost missed another mistake in the frontcourt, but Joseph staggered on the wing and dribbled away from Jeremy Lin, got a big vacancy, and made a direct jump shot of three points, but Joseph is not good at long-range shooting, even if the Spurs played for four years, he still failed to develop a three-point shot, such a great opportunity to overtake the score, but his shot was short, smashed on the outside of the basket and fell directly into Randle's hands.
Randle's vision has been inadvertently opened, he now knows the opportunity to take the initiative to find his teammates, he saw that Jeremy Lin, who had just been shaken by Joseph, was almost past half court, so he threw the ball directly, Carroll chased after him and jumped with all his strength but could not interfere with the ball, Jeremy Lin received the ball and turned and jumped up to complete another dunk. Now the Lakers have a four-point lead.
Although the Lakers are now the leading side, the players who have been fully mobilized seem to be like playing chicken blood, and continue to press all over the court, and Joseph did not play much time in this game, and his body was not fully active, and under Jeremy Lin's high-pressure defense, there was a low-level mistake such as a return violation, and the Lakers got the ball again!
"Next Kobe Bryant made a dunk under the basket, but now that Haugist is treated as a double bag at any time, can he find an opportunity to cut to the basket?" Jordan. A fan next to Bale asked, pointing to his phone.
Jordan. Bale had a confident smile on his face, "It's really hard to find an opportunity to dunk in the air, but if Hougist really knows that he can't do it, doesn't that prove that he is deliberately imitating Kobe?" ”
And in the backcourt of the Raptors, Coach Casey on the other side of the court was also watching Cady's video while shouting: "Keep an eye on Haugist, don't let him cut to the basket!" ”
Haugist stood next to Coach Casey and was ready to serve the sideline, and his nose was crooked when he heard his words, isn't this a trick, I don't want to defend well, just thinking about limiting my scoring, which would normally be an assist for me, but today I don't want to miss every goal, damn, it's still too careless, I really shouldn't have talked so much nonsense with that Rose before!
