Chapter 238: Scoring Feast
"Kobe, stop struggling indifferently." When Kobe Bryant hit another shot with his trademark back-to-back jumper, increasing his consecutive hits to 5 times, looking at Kobe Bryant with a cold face, Meng Xu's eyes also had a complicated expression.
After completing the transformation from superstar to supergiant, Kobe's whole temperament has also been sublimated, and now Kobe is more like a cold-blooded killer, if the previous Kobe Bryant would use various actions and expressions to provoke himself after shooting, then the current Kobe Bryant is just looking at himself with his eyes, Meng Xu can feel the coldness contained in Kobe's eyes, just like Duncan often said that Wang Zhi's contempt, the current Kobe Bryant even has a lot less expression on his face.
"Tim, let me do the rest of the game." When Duncan sent out the baseline ball, looking at Meng Xu who dribbled to the frontcourt, Duncan also vaguely felt a different temperament in Meng Xu's body, just like when he faced Jordan for the first time, he cut 19 points and 22 rebounds in that game, and just 1 minute before the end of the game, his Spurs were still 3 points ahead of the Bulls. But at this time, when Jordan passed by him, he said to himself: "Boy, it's over." In the following minute, Jordan scored seven straight points on 3-of-3 shooting, and the Spurs lost to the Bulls 83-87 in that game. You must know that before that, Jordan only hit 9 of 36 shots, so iron that he couldn't even stand it, but at the last moment of the game, Jordan said that he would take over the game and take over the game.
When Meng Xu dribbled to the top of the arc again, at this time Meng Xu's eyes were completely devoid of teammates, Meng Xu grabbed the basketball in his right hand, sideways to Kobe Bryant, who was defending himself, just when Duncan, who had finished the baseline ball, had just passed the halfcourt, Meng Xu jumped up directly on the spot and threw the basketball in his hand.
"Meng Xu's offensive choice this time is very unreasonable, although the Spurs have been behind, but the remaining time is still sufficient, and it is not yet time to grab points." Although it was a Meng Blow, after seeing Meng Xu's very unreasonable offensive choice, Michaels also frowned, but what made Michaels a little embarrassed was that before his words fell, Meng Xu threw the basketball into the net.
"That's interesting." When Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant completed the "anser-ball" again, Magic Johnson was really interested in this game, and he didn't know how long he hadn't seen this kind of blood-boiling game and the "anser-ball" showdown.
Next, in the cheers of the fans, Kobe Bryant hit a goal again, increasing his consecutive hits to 6 goals, Magic Johnson also just stood up directly and began to stand to explain the game, maybe the next few minutes, will completely enter the performance time of Kobe and Meng Xu.
With 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in the game, Meng Xu quickly dribbled from the backcourt to the frontcourt, this time facing the bag of Kobe Bryant and Ron Haber, Meng Xu was at the top of the 3-point arc and hit again, 102-99, the Spurs were only 3 points behind the Lakers.
"Coach, do you want to 。。。。。。?" Seeing that Meng Xu began to convulse on the court again, Steve Cole immediately began to chant beside Popovich, but this time Popovich directly waved his hand and vetoed Steve Cole's unspoken suggestion. If the overall situation has been decided, it is nothing to replace Meng Xu, and although the Spurs are still in a slight situation, it is far from the time to surrender.
In the next round, Kobe Bryant shot iron under the bag of Meng Xu and Mario Elie, and ended his consecutive shooting record in a cry of regret in the Staples Center, just after Kobe Bryant shot the iron, Meng Xu's 3-point shot this time was also brushed out after two laps of the basket.
With 2 minutes and 40 seconds left in the game, O'Neal took the basketball, faced Duncan and David Robinson's bag, and forced directly to the basket, not only hooking the shot but also causing a foul on David Robinson's defense, and after O'Neal hit a free throw, the difference between the two sides came to 6 points again.
In 2 minutes and 27 seconds, the Lakers directly pressed the Spurs, or Meng Xu, and Meng Xu was surrounded and intercepted by the Lakers' 3 players, and there was still a distance of more than one meter from the 3-point line, and he directly forced a shot, and after the 3-point shooting, 105-102, the difference was narrowed to 3 points again.
"It's such a strong ability to grab points, this kind of scoring explosion is really terrifying." When Meng Xu hit this 3-pointer, in these 2-point time, he shot 4 of 5 3-pointers and scored 12 points, and after the official timeout in the 4th quarter, Meng Xu had already scored 17 points, and at this time Michaels on the sidelines couldn't control his mood at all.
"Be steady, be steady." Kobe and Meng Xu are competing on the court, and Phil Jackson is also shocked when he watches the court, especially when Kobe hit a 2-pointer, and Meng Xu immediately fought back with a 3-point, Phil Jackson felt that his heart was going to jump out, but the Lakers only had one timeout left now, and the Lakers both Kobe and O'Neal seemed to have enough energy left, especially O'Neal, who hadn't made much effort in this game, so Phil Jackson didn't call a timeout. Instead, he stood on the sidelines and shouted at Ron Haber, who was dribbling the ball in the field. Now the Lakers' score is still ahead, and the situation on the court is still favorable to the Lakers, as long as the rhythm is pressed a little, and there is no scoring drought on the Lakers' side, then this game is still a sure win. And with O'Neal's big killer, the Lakers will not have a scoring drought.
At this time, not to mention Magic Johnson and Phil Jackson, the fans of the entire Staples Center have basically all stood up, some fans even nervously clasped their hands together and rubbed back and forth, and some fans who may be believers keep drawing crosses on their chests, praying that the team they support will win this game.
This offense, the Lakers chose to hand over to O'Neal to play, after all, the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score, and Kobe Bryant has some problems with his physical strength after the previous consumption. O'Neal slapped the basketball, pouted his big ass and arched twice to the basket, then turned around in an extremely rapid succession, not only erasing David Robinson but also shaking Duncan in the bag, and hit a direct hook shot, 107-102, with 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the clock, the difference between the two teams came to 5 points again.
1 minute and 55 seconds, under the Lakers' pursuit and interception, Meng Xu still did not pass, and after rushing to the left 45-degree angle of the 3-point line through continuous changes of direction in the backcourt, facing Grant who rushed over to make up for the defense, Meng Xu forced a 3-point shot directly in front of Grant, although at this time, the Lakers' basket was already 2 to 1. After Meng Xu fell from the air, he directly waved his fist towards the center of the court, and after this 3-point shot, 107-105, the difference between the two teams was only 2 points.
At 1 minute and 35 seconds, after O'Neal got the ball near the free throw line, before Duncan's bag was in place, after forcing David Robinson, he rushed directly to the basket and dunked, 109-105, the Lakers still maintained the lead.
"This kid is crazy." When he saw that Meng Xu had nothing but the basket in his eyes on the court, no tactics, no teammates, and even no opponents, Phil Jackson on the sidelines felt that he was about to go crazy, this kind of super tumor that desperately impacted the basket, even Jordan had to sigh to himself. When he saw Meng Xu hit a 3-pointer again, narrowing the gap between the two teams to 1 point, Phil Jackson suddenly felt as if a dagger had been stabbed into his chest, and without the slightest hesitation, Phil Jackson directly called the last timeout of the Lakers in this game.
"Meng, calm down, you have to calm down, the current situation is very favorable to us, so you have to press the time and ensure the hit rate." Popovich on the sidelines can only barely suppress his inner emotions and try to keep himself calm, and this game can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations so far.
Originally, Popovich was also thinking about whether to let Meng Xu hand over the ball to Duncan, after all, Meng Xu could not always maintain such a feeling against the sky, but in the end Popovich still did not make this decision, Duncan's hand was not very good throughout this game, and Duncan did not make a move for a few minutes, in case Duncan still has no feeling, it will really be a break.
"Meng, you are indeed very powerful, but there will only be one winner in the end of this game, and it must be me." After the game restarted, Meng Xu faced Kobe Bryant again, Kobe's feel in this game can only be described as hot, Kobe Bryant shot 19 of 31 in this game, 9 of 10 free throws, and has scored 49 points, this game is likely to cut 50+ again.|
At 1:17, Bryant hit another step-back jumper, and also caused a foul on Mario Elie, who was covering himself, and after hitting a free throw, 112-108, the Lakers still had a four-point lead.
"Kobe, I told you, you're finished." As soon as Meng Xu's words fell, the basketball thrown by Meng Xu hit again, and the difference between the two teams was narrowed to 1 point again.
"I would advise fans with heart conditions to turn off their TV for now." In the final moments of the game, watching the scores of the two teams rise alternately like this, not to mention the fans at the scene, even Michaels now feels that his heart is a little overwhelmed.
Now both Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant have maintained a fairly high shooting rate, after shooting 6 goals in a row in front, Kobe Bryant hit 3 goals in a row again after throwing this goal, and Kobe, who has scored 55 points in this game, has once again refreshed the highest score of his career.
But while Kobe Bryant was hitting continuously, Meng Xu had also been hitting continuously, and when there were 29 seconds left in the game, Meng Xu hit his 10th 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, 116-117, and the Spurs had already overtaken the Lakers by one point.
