Chapter 208: Hope of Winning the Series

Bryant passed the ball out, relied on the cover and ran back to catch the ball again and prepare to break through. Li Zhi stepped on the time to get to the basket and picked up the block.

The two battled in the air, and Lee was hit in the cheek by a flying elbow from Kobe. For Li Zhi, who has a Super Saiyan, this is nothing, but another person will definitely have to lie down.

Li Zhi had an idea and fell straight down, but the referee blew a blocking foul.

"MD, it's a star whistle again, I wouldn't have fallen if I had known!"

Li Zhi wanted to stand up and find a referee theory, but when he thought that he was acting, he continued to lie on the ground and cover his face.

Kobe Bryant was also frightened by Li Zhi's expression, he and Li Zhi had a good personal relationship, but he was stimulated by Barnes and Jackson's trash talk and lost his mind, plus he was taken care of by the star whistle, and he played more and more unscrupulously.

The grumpy Barnes rushed straight at Kobe, and Jackson ran up from behind. Kobe Bryant raised his hands and said that he didn't want to argue with Barnes, his face was ugly, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Gasol and Bynum joined the team, O'Neal ripped the Lakers players apart, and Kobe Bryant was caught in the crowd by the Warriors, and the scene was chaotic.

The referee pulled several people apart, discussed them together, and after a slow-motion replay, finally decided to change the verdict. Bryant was fouled offensively, Barnes ate a technical foul, Bryant hit a free throw, and the game continued.

Nelson was worried about Li Zhi and wanted to replace Li Zhi, but Li Zhi winked at Nelson from an angle that no one else noticed, signaling him not to worry.

Nelson's heart instantly blossomed, and this disciple of his own also learned badly from Jackson.

Next, the scale of the non-referee's blowing penalty obviously began to get smaller, this game was really torturous to the referee, the Warriors fans booed the whole court, they have seen the boo players, the coach, and have not seen the boo referee.

Li Zhi and O'Neal blocked and broke through Bynum in the middle, causing Bynum to foul. The Warriors fans cheered.

Jackson provoked Kobe Bryant with trash talk, and the fans couldn't hear it, but Kobe Bryant's elbow on Li Zhi fans could see it clearly. Bryant's black elbow is as much a big tag as his shooting percentage, and he has been suspended five times before for elbowing.

Li Zhi hit both free throws, and the score difference continued to widen.

The Warriors attacked, and Jackson scolded beside Kobe: "Come on, ** criminal, come and elbow me!" ”

Bryant ignored Jackson, he only had offense in his eyes, and he changed direction and accelerated to break through inside.

Kobe didn't dare to elbow, but Jackson did elbow, and when Kobe broke through, he and Kobe had a secret physical contact, and Jackson seized the opportunity and elbowed Kobe Bryant's small mm. Both men and women have two acupuncture points on their bodies, one is under the crotch and the other is on the chest.

Kobe Bryant was knocked out of power by this blow, and Jackson fell together in an instant.

With only the ball in his eyes, Jackson got up and grabbed the basketball. The referee came, and Jackson gave the ball to the referee indifferently, rubbing his stomach as if he had been attacked.

The referee was speechless, they didn't see Jackson's action, but looking at Jackson's face, it didn't look like an injury, so he could only deal with it lightly and sentenced an ordinary foul.

Kobe Bryant's heart flew by 10,000 grass god beasts, and his heart was about to explode, which was definitely a technical foul.

Li Zhi helped Jackson up, and Jackson cried for his father and mother. Li Zhi touched him, Jackson grinned like a decent tooth, and Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.

When Kobe Bryant saw Li Zhi's expression, he could conclude that Jackson did it on purpose. He greeted Jackson's eighteenth generation of female compatriots in his heart, how did this TM Jackson give a bullshit plaster, and that Barnes. The two of them fell down when they touched each other, cried when they suddenly cried, and if they didn't attack on the offensive end, they pestered themselves and scolded and scolded, just like TM's grandson!

As soon as the referee left, Jackson immediately laughed and said, "If you dare to break through me again, try it, if you dare to break through, I will dare to shoot you to death!" ”

! Bryant yelled.

The Lakers served, Kobe Bryant singled Jackson from the outside, and made a one-step pull-up jumper. Jackson didn't block either, and his hand went straight to Kobe's crotch.

Kobe Bryant's eyes skimmed Jackson's movements, and immediately adjusted his shooting movements, clamping his legs. Bryant lost his rhythm in the air and the basketball slammed into the basket.

Milicic grabbed the rebound in a fart, and the Warriors launched a fast break again.

Milicic passed to Jackson, Jackson received the ball and threw it directly into the hands of Gerard Green in the front court, Green Ariza, and scored on the basketball.

In the next round, Kobe Bryant was in a hurry. The outside forced a three-point shot, Jackson wanted to shoot again, but Kobe Bryant didn't dodge. Jackson saw the referee's gaze and retracted his hand stupidly, looking bored.

Bryant hit a three-pointer, but he couldn't be happy. What kind of expression do you have, your face is boring, and you are addicted?

The situation continued on the court, and after 3 minutes of play, Kobe Bryant regained his touch, and Jackson failed to defend Kobe Bryant in a few rounds. At 61:53, the Lakers began to chase points.

The Warriors attacked, O'Neal went to Gao to cover, and Li Zhi shook off Ariza and received the basketball on the right side. Li Zhi received the ball without pausing, rushed straight towards the penalty area, stepped on the white line of the penalty area, stared at Gasol and took two steps, and put the basketball into the basket with both hands.

Li Zhi never dodges layups, like Kobe, Rose, and Iverson, when he goes to the basket, he always pulls the rod to dodge when he encounters a confrontation, but he doesn't need it at all. If there is a confrontation, just go on top, maybe you can cheat a 2+1, which is why Li Zhi has not installed a pull-up rod to make a layup.

Although the pull-up layup is handsome, it can't cheat the foul.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Gasol fouled. Lee Zhi made both free throws, 63:53.

The Lakers attacked, and Gasol received the ball and dribbled two steps and passed to Ariza on the perimeter, who shot wide. At the critical moment, Gasol hesitated, so he could only be a second-in-command.

Gasol has now scored 20 points and has scored a lot, but he still chose to pass the ball at the important moment of chasing points.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Gerald Green, who made a layup and was chased by Ariza and didn't score. The Lakers got the basketball and the position was offensive.

Kobe missed an outside jumper, and Gasol scrambled for a rebound. Milicic is in position, but Gasol is very competitive, pressing Milicic with his left hand and reaching out with his right hand to win the rebound.

But the next moment, a terrible scene appeared. Milicic bent over, and Gasol fell over, losing his center in the air and slamming his head against the floor.

Milicic grabbed Gasol's shoulder at the right time, but Gasol still fell forward, Milicic pulled Gasol again, and Gasol's face was almost touched to the ground when Milicic pulled him.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Gasol suddenly let out a scream, and he fell to the ground with his right hand on his left shoulder, his expression painful.

This time Gasol should have been whistled for grabbing a rebound for a foul, but seeing Gasol fall to the ground in pain, the referee had to pause the game.

Li Zhi looked at Gasol on the ground, and remembered a match between the Cavaliers and the Celtics in his previous life, Olynyk locked Lefu and pulled Lefu to the point of dislocating his shoulder. Of course, Milicic and Olynyk have different starting points, Olynyk is going to hurt people, Milicic wants to save people, if it weren't for Milicic's pull, Gasol's face might have to be in close contact with the floor, which is even worse.

The Lakers suddenly panicked, and the paramedics helped Gasol down, and Phil Jackson sat in his seat and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gasol is the heart of his triangle offense, and without Gasol, the Lakers' next games will be difficult. Even if the Warriors pass the hurdle, it won't be easy to face the Nuggets or the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals.

Looking at the bleak scene on the court, Barkley sighed: "The Warriors' opportunity has come, but they are also dangerous, and without Gasol, Kobe Bryant will definitely fight hard." ”

Kenny Smith also sighed: "Judging from today's performance, the Warriors are like a piece of hob meat, with Gasol on the floor, it will be difficult for the Lakers to eat, and now that Gasol is on the road, it will be difficult for the Lakers to defend their title this year." ”

The Lakers didn't have Gasol, only Kobe Bryant was left, and when they met the Celtics in the finals last year, Gasol was injured in a key game, which also caused them to lose the championship. The Lakers did not make major reinforcements this season, only brought in some role players, and Gasol was injured, and the Lakers could only put Odom at the No. 4 position, but this effect was not good.

Phil Jackson moved Odom to the No. 4 spot, he hasn't played well in this series, and he's been doing well this season as a sixth man, but when he encounters the Warriors' whirlwind tactics, Odom hasn't played well. Against Milicic, Odom has no advantage, the two are now at most half a catty, Laker Gasol has a broken arm and can only rely on Kobe.

Phil Jackson said to Kobe: "Kobe, the team needs you to step up now, and it's up to you if we can get there in this series." ”

Because of Gasol's injury, the situation between the two sides was reversed. The Lakers' role players are all high-paid and low-energy, and they are okay on the defensive end, but they can't be counted on the offensive end. The Warriors players immediately saw the hope of winning the series.

The Lakers lost the point that made Nelson scruples, and Nelson let Barnes and Jackson wrap Kobe Bryant in a row, and at the same time replaced O'Neal to take a joint defense and cut off Kobe's passing route.

Without the containment of a big general, Kobe Bryant played a difficult game, but at this time, Jackson and Barnes continued to trash talk at Kobe, and Kobe, who entered the state of singles, was angry.

The angry Kobe Bryant is terrible, and at this time he will only do two things, one is to make the enemy scared by consecutive goals to tie the score. The other is a continuous iron strike that scares teammates. The first is a test for the opponent's defense, and the second is a tragedy for the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant played crazy in the next 5 attacks, but he still chose to shoot for the 6th time, and he shot persistently.

Watching basketball hit iron again, Li Zhi sighed, maybe this is the reason why Kobe Bryant is great - the first person to strike iron.

Kobe Bryant's iron is not only because he has a bad hand, but also because of the Warriors' defense. Barnes pestered Kobe, Jackson stared at him, chattering and denouncing Kobe's 100 crimes, and Li Zhi, who was paralyzed, was ready to make up for it at any time.

Bryant couldn't pass the ball yet because his teammates were as iron as him, Odom was 0 of 3, Ariza missed 2 three-pointers, and Fisher had no chance to catch the ball against Gerard Green, who was faster and stronger than him.

Kobe Bryant could only cast it firmly, and then hit the iron firmly.

In the incessant sound of Kobe Bryant's iron, the Lakers were lost. At the end of the third quarter, at 88:69, the Warriors led the Lakers by 19 points.

In the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson continued to play the main team and tried to recover the score, but the Warriors did not give them a chance. Kobe Bryant failed to stage the return of the king at the critical moment, and it was only 4 minutes in the fourth quarter that Kobe Bryant regained his touch.

It was too much attrition, and Barnes and Jackson were lax on his defense.

Bryant came late, and the Lakers eventually lost the game 89-106, and the Warriors won a hard-fought battle at home.
