Chapter 331: Tie Lin Kaihang
Hougist simply didn't return to defense, and reached out directly in the front court to ask for the ball, trying to steal a wave, but Jeremy Lin's long pass was destroyed by Leonard out of the sideline.
Hougist reorganized the offense in the front court, broke through the interior with difficulty, and divided Kobe Bryant on the wing, Kobe Bryant set an example for Hoggist with his actions, and after receiving the ball, he also did not hesitate to shoot three points against the defender, as for the result, it was no different from the three-point shots that Hoggist missed.
Parker rebounded and dribbled to the front court to start pressing time, with only 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the game, the Lakers were still 5 points behind, and the Spurs seemed to have won the game!
Tielin and Dio were tired of passing the ball to each other from beyond the three-point line, but Aldridge kept jockeying for position in the low post and reaching for the ball. Seeing that there were 5 seconds left in the offensive time, Tielin passed the ball in, and Turner tried his best to block Aldridge, but Ade, with divine help, forced a shot to hit the basket when he leaned back and lost his balance.
The game time is less than 1 minute, the Lakers 88:95 has fallen behind by 7 points, Hougist knows that if he is in good shape, it is not difficult to catch up with the overtake, but now it is internal and external troubles, not only his and Kobe Bryant's hand is good and bad, but the opponent can continue to hit the fairy ball under strict defense, it is simply too infuriating, it really responds to the old saying "drought death, waterlogging death"!
Kobe, who did not admit defeat, was still encouraging Haugist, "Keep shooting and don't give up, we are the top shooters in the league, and the probability of hitting the next shot is always much higher than the probability of not shooting!" Don't forget that your shot has helped you beat the Warriors, and if you don't believe it, it's a betrayal! ”
Hoggist admires Kobe's paranoia, to be honest, even though Kobe's shooting percentage has been fed to a career high by him this season, with both two-point and three-point shooting rates exceeding 50%, they are still far inferior to himself, and Kobe's confidence in projection is far beyond the reach of Hoggist himself.
"The training we do on weekdays is to be able to shoot the ball on the field, and if you don't dare to shoot at the end of the day, then what's the point of your usual training?" Kobe Bryant saw Hoggist's constipated expression and continued to cheer him on.
"I know what to do, the road to victory is not always easy, but no matter how difficult the road is, you have to flow out step by step!" Haugis nodded and dribbled forward, knowing that the Spurs must be defensively shot by now, and if they call for a pick-and-roll, they will be caught in a double trap. In order to save time, Hoggist directly used his personal ability at the top of the arc to shake off a bit of space with a large change of direction, and then forced a three-point shot.
But the result was devastating, and the three-pointer went back to the basket again, each time just a little bit closer to the goal. Bryant was not discouraged and continued to encourage everyone to prevent the Spurs' offensive wave to make a comeback.
The Spurs pressed Leonard in the frontcourt, and Hoggist knew he couldn't waste too much time, so he pressed up and tried to use death coil against Leonard.
The two know each other, how could Leonard not know Hougist's intentions? He first dribbled behind the ball to avoid Haugist's long arm, and then playfully distributed the ball to Tielin with a back-cross pass.
But Leonard forgot that Kobe Bryant is also a player who has taken the defense for a while, although the reaction and speed have decreased with age, but the experience will not pass with age, it will only get more and more mellow.
Kobe Bryant judged Leonard's passing route in advance, and quickly grabbed Tielin's side to try to steal, but unfortunately it failed, Kobe Bryant had already intercepted the ball for the first time, but before he could hold it down, he was broken back by the younger and more flexible Tielin.
Kobe Bryant continued to press closely, pulling blindly in Tielin's arms, interfering with Tielin's normal holding of the ball, Tielin glanced at the referee, and did not mean to blow the foul, and this distraction Kobe Bryant successfully poked the ball out of his arms.
Although Tielin got rid of it, he didn't give up the scramble, the ball was dialed into the sky by Kobe, and Tielin simply jumped up and pushed the ball to the Lakers' basket first. Kobe Bryant was a step late and didn't have time to touch the ball, but only clicked on Tielin's wrist, but the referee hesitated and still didn't blow the foul.
But Tie Lin's "shot" didn't know if it was a mistake and wanted to try his luck or was really sure, and he really hit the board head-on and rebounded into the basket.
Another fairy shot, the Lakers have fallen behind by 10 points with 49 seconds left, and the hope of chasing the score is getting slimmer and slimmer.
Bryant patted Haugist on the shoulder and motioned for him to hand the ball next, the young man was already under too much pressure, and he should step up and take some responsibility as a veteran.
Hoggist quickly dribbled to the front court and immediately made a cover for Kobe Bryant after handing the ball to him. But as Hoggist expected, both Tielin and Leonard chose to go to Kobe. Hoggist pulled aside and reached for the ball, but Kobe Bryant resolutely chose to shoot himself.
Seeing Kobe Bryant facing the bag of two people who are taller than him and have longer arm spans extremely difficult to lean back to find space to shoot, Hoggist understands that this is Kobe Bryant wants to share the responsibility for himself, and even saliva after the game, although Hoggist knows that Kobe Bryant has been playing in this way at all the key moments in the past two decades, but he is still moved, and rushes directly into the interior to prepare to fight for the frontcourt rebound.
Kobe's shot was too reluctant, in order to avoid the Spurs' suffocation brother's block, Kobe's extreme backfall consumed the last of his physical strength, and after adjusting the angle of the shot, he no longer had the strength to throw the ball so far.
The ball grazed the front of the basket at an angle almost perpendicular to the ground, changing direction slightly before continuing to return to Mother Earth. Hoggist just slapped his horse to the basket and was lucky enough to pick up the rebound from the crowd. He wanted to pull up the ball on the spot and dunk the ball into the basket, but now that he has no time to score two points, he can't catch up with the difference anyway, so he might as well go for three points.
made up his mind, but Hoggist didn't pass the ball to Kobe, and at the critical moment, the Carry team itself is duty-bound, how can a person who has a three-point shooting rate of more than 6 percent and the league be embarrassed to let others take responsibility for their own shooting?
After dribbling the ball beyond the three-point line, Hoggist turned around and forced a three-pointer against Leonard, who was coming from the defense. Hougist's forced turn shot also surprised Leonard, who was too late to brake during the pursuit, and even forced his sideways to avoid Hougist's body completely.
It was the east corner of the lost mulberry harvest, and Hougist himself never thought that he would cheat a three-point foul, and he could be punished three more ...... A ball up! What Hoggist didn't expect even more was that the three-point shot after being violated by Leonard was actually returned to the Spurs in the form of a frontal rebound into the basket.
"Good ball, hard, too hard!" Bryant excitedly came up and hugged Hougist, hammering him the back.
"Anyway, before the end of the game, I found my touch, but I don't know if they can still enter the fairy ball!" Hougist still has a hidden concern in his heart.
"We just need to do our own thing, in your Chinese, it is 'life and death, wealth and prosperity in the sky'!" Kobe actually said a sentence in Chinese, although the pronunciation is very bad, but he can still hear the general meaning.
Hoggist and Jeremy Lin were both surprised, and Hougist corrected: "Although the meaning is not quite right, to be precise, it should be 'planning in the people and making things happen in the sky', but it is surprising that you can speak Chinese!" And where did you hear this idiom? This set of idioms belongs to advanced vocabulary, and in Chinese, it is at least the difficulty level of TOEFL and IELTS! ”
"Oh, I saw this set of words in David's ribs, and he told me the pronunciation and meaning, and I think this is the coolest tattoo he has on his body." Kobe Bryant said disapprehantly.
"David? Which David? Shouldn't it be that he often brings a large family to Staples to watch games, and his eldest son, Brooklyn, has always had a crush on Colo. Moritz, that David with the surname Beckham, right? Hoggist was even more surprised.
"That's this David." Bryant nodded.
Hoggist asked enviously, "Do you sports stars play so high?" You've actually seen Beckham's nakedness! ”
"I went to the locker room when I watched AC Milan play against the LA Galaxy and it was normal to see them ** naked, okay?" Kobe Bryant said disdainfully.
"When will I get to the level where I can visit other teams' dressing rooms?" "It would be nice to visit the locker rooms of female athletes!" ”
"Isn't that easy? Next year I'll take you to the US Open and take you to the Williams sisters' dressing room! ”
"Ahh Forget it, this sister estimates that two punches can beat me to death. Hoggist hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
After an easy hit and a free throw, the Lakers still trailed by 6 points at 92:98, exactly two three-pointers, and with 41 seconds left in the game, if they can prevent the Spurs' next offense, there is still a chance to tie!
Parker received the ball in the backcourt, and the Lakers began to press all over the court, but as the most spinning top player in the NBA and even on the planet, Parker finally dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without danger. Jeremy Lin strengthened his defense after retreating to the backcourt, Parker gave the ball to Leonard, Hoggist's pressing was more ferocious, Leonard didn't dare to dribble more, and held on to the ball and waited for Hoggist to foul, but Hougist has been restraining his range of movements, trying to get the ball without fouling.
After 8 seconds, Haugist still couldn't succeed, and he had to increase the range of his movements, which was equivalent to walking a tightrope, and the greater the swing, the easier it was to fall. When Hougist finally forced Leonard to hold the ball and take two steps back, move the pivot foot, and form a walk, but the referee blew a foul on Hougist and sent Leonard directly to the free throw line.
This wave of defense took nearly 10 seconds and failed to achieve results, which made Hoggist a little more worried. Leonard has been practicing free throws for a long time since he missed key free throws in the 13 Finals and lost the championship that he was about to hold in his hands, and now the more critical the moment, the more accurate his free throws are, and the difference has widened to 8 points after hitting both free throws.
"Looks like I'm going to have to play two 3+1s again!" Hoggist sighed.
"Why do you have such a mentality? I saw that you were smashing the ball in anger just now, why did you turn back into the big star who talked and laughed and slashed the enemy under the horse after a while? Leonard asked curiously.
"Don't want to waste my time, my time is very valuable, my country's famous female singer Zhang Liangying is still waiting for me in the world of Tianshu!" Hougist teased with a meme that Leonard may never understand, and then took the ball and advanced to the front court at high speed, Leonard had a bold idea in his mind, he left a step away for Hougist in the retreat defense and then stood still, wanting to use Hougist's inertia to make his collision foul, doing such a gambling defensive method at this critical moment is definitely a kick of hell and a kick of heaven, if you prevent it, you are a super god, and if you don't prevent it, you are a super ghost.
Leonard's judgment is actually very accurate, even a peerless waist like Hougist is difficult to avoid obstacles when moving at high speeds, especially when the reaction distance is still very short.
Hoggist saw Leonard suddenly stop and instantly reacted to what he was going to do, so Hoggist forcibly twisted his waist and turned around to try to bypass Leonard, but the shoulders still bumped into each other when the two staggered.
Seeing that he was about to lose his balance, Hoggist hurriedly threw the ball to Kobe Bryant in the front court, and then flipped on his back with Leonard. The referee still didn't say anything about this ball, because Horgist and Leonard did not take unreasonable positions, incorrect body postures, improper starting methods and illegal movements to cause wrong physical contact when attacking and defending, so the referee could only continue to live the ball.
At the same time, the impact of falling to the ground on Leonard and the Spurs is far less serious than the impact on the Lakers, if Hougist, who has regained his touch, gets up and catches the ball outside the three-point line, he will waste a lot of valuable time, and in desperation, Kobe Bryant once again forced a three-point shot. To say that Kobe and Hoggist seem to have reached a synchronization in this game, after Hoggist scored 3+1, Kobe also hit a difficult three-pointer, but it is a pity that although Danny. Green was suspected of being a thug, but the referee was still reluctant to blow the expensive whistle in his mouth.
Hoggist got up just in time to watch Kobe score a goal, and he also came up to hug Kobe Bryant with the same excitement, but was pushed away by Kobe, "Didn't you fall stupidly, and there was no dead ball, if you don't hurry up and defend your position, how can you have time to celebrate?" ”
Only then did Hougist realize that Leonard had quietly slipped into the vacuum area in the bottom corner and waited for a sneak attack. Thankfully, Jeremy Lin's defense was good, and Parker didn't find the angle to pass the ball.
Hougist hurried to the bottom corner and finally reached Leonard's side before the ball, Leonard was going to hide and send the fatal blow by surprise, but Hoggist's timely return made him almost dead, and he was completely held in the corner by Hoggist.
Tielin finally rushed over to answer Leonard when he was cornered, and was almost stealed by Kobe after receiving Leonard's pass, Tielin's three-point shooting has lost its accuracy since last season, often a super god and a super ghost, today may be his super god game, right? After almost losing the ball this time, he threw the ball to the basket again at random, and it actually went in again!
