Chapter 180: Splitting Huashan: Taking Away the Purple Gold Glory
~
Swish!
As soon as Kobe Bryant came on the court, he scored two points for the Lakers with a classic step-back jumper. Although Gordon has done his best, the black mamba who is about to fall into a rage is terrifying, not to mention that Gordon is only 1.91 meters, and there is naturally a gap between him and Kobe Bryant in height, so it is not surprising that he can't stop it.
The Hornets are in high spirits right now, and even if Bryant hits a step-back jumper against Gordon, they don't have the slightest concern.
Yang Yi is their Dinghai Divine Needle! As long as the fat man is still on the field, all problems are not a problem.
Sure enough, after the switch between offense and defense, the fat man hit a three-pointer directly against Waldpais, rewriting the score to 91:90, one point ahead of the Lakers.
The power of the mind is limitless, and the Wasp fights with high morale and comes to fruition. When Gasol forced Lopez to finish the small hook under the basket, he was slapped with a pegboard hat by Anderson flying from the side. The ball was fanned to the rebound by Anderson's powerful force and bounced into Kobe's hands, and although Bryant lowered the ball to the goal, the morale of the Hornets was getting higher and higher.
Even Anderson, who was inconspicuous before, can play a good show like a pegboard hat, and the Lakers can be said to have declined to grandma's house, so when will they not exert their strength at this time?
The idea of the Hornets is good, but Yang Yi's physical energy was exhausted soon after the Lakers' main team came on the court, and he does not have Zhang Dashuai's unlimited physical energy now. But the Hornets' sharp attacks overshadowed that. Coupled with the help of super sneakers, he looks no different from his usual performance.
The scores of the two teams have been anxious, constantly alternating and rising. Until the final minute of the game, the two teams were still deadlocked at 105-104, except that the Lakers led the Hornets by one point.
After seeing Howard and Nash's successful air connection, Williams called a timeout, and he didn't call a timeout in the last quarter! Call one now, and another one at the critical moment, and the tactical arrangement of the Wasp will be guaranteed.
The Hornets will return to the bench to listen to the head coach's explanation, and Yang Yi poured two sips of sports drinks. Even though he felt very tired, he couldn't sit down, and he was afraid that once he sat down, he wouldn't want to get up again.
To be honest, when the super sneakers gave him unlimited kinetic energy, physical fitness became a burden to him. Just like an advanced engine installed in a brand-new Xiali car, the engine is undoubtedly advanced, but the other equipment of the Xiali car cannot keep up with the power of the engine, and if you keep running, Xiali will fall apart sooner or later.
Now the fat man is a Xiali who is about to fall apart, no matter on or off the field, as long as the game is not over, it is a torment for him. In particular, the game is still deadlocked, and both sides are looking forward to the final result.
On top of that, he can't go into the system to buy a physical recovery potion yet. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at him at the scene, as a wasp single core, his every move is watched under a magnifying glass, and most of the results that can take a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs to the current level rely on his strength. He made a suspicious move at this time - go to the bathroom, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here?
Or is there something wrong with his kidneys? I had already been there once at the end of the third quarter, and now I went again...... Tsk, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not think about it!
After thinking about it for a while, the fat man gave up the idea of going to the bathroom.
Leave it to fate! Anyway, if you rely on yourself for everything, then the Hornets will be sad even if they have passed the first year of junior high school, so why waste the glory points they have saved up for the illusory winning streak.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi calmed down and listened to Williams explain tactics with peace of mind.
The Hornets are about to hit the winning streak, while the Lakers are playing the role of a roadblock, and the two sides can be described as intolerable.
Head coach Williams is explaining carefully, the Hornets are listening carefully, and the fat man is no exception. After all, Williams is a competent coach, and his knowledge and experience are much better than him.
The managers of both sides were setting up tactics and fighting wits and courage, and the two guys in the TNT studio were not idle, and they were curious about this anxious game.
"Charles, it's going to be a lot of fun. The Lakers have a good position, but the Hornets have the people, and at the last minute, I don't know which of them can be the final winner. Smith said with a smile. He was the first to throw out the questions, and the answers were handed over to Barkley, and he was happy to be relaxed.
"This ......," Barkley hesitated. So far in the game, the physical strength of the players of the two teams has been almost exhausted, and they are completely supported by the desire to win, which can be seen from their out-of-shape movements.
'The situation is similar for both teams at the moment, maybe a crucial goal can make the difference between the game and the outcome. Now the head coaches of both teams are actively arranging tactics, and it depends on which one is better. ”
……
The timeout flashed by, and all players from both sides returned to the field. Now is the critical moment, and there is no room for sloppiness.
The Hornets' tactics are actually very simple, that is, Yang Yi holds the ball to create opportunities, and other players attack. At this critical moment, the fat man must be the center of gravity of the Lakers' defense, and the Hornets just took advantage of this opportunity to score more points by surprise.
Yang Yi attacks with the ball.
Standing in front of him this time was the Lakers' big man Kobe Bryant, who finally staged a king-to-king show at a critical moment.
"Kobe Bryant...... Kobe Bryant ...... "Seeing Kobe standing in front of the fat man, Lakers fans cheered for Kobe, maybe not cheering, but seeing Wang's excitement for Wang."
With fifty-six seconds to go, they had one more chance to attack if the fat man made a quick shot. However, the Hornets are now behind and they must ensure their shooting percentage or the winning streak could end here.
Yang Yi didn't stick to the ball, and when he saw Kobe Bryant standing in front of him, he quickly passed the ball out. This is not to say that the fat man is afraid of Kobe, but the current physical fitness does not support him to force a breakthrough through Kobe. He needs the right position to pose a threat to the Lakers basket for his teammates to have a chance to attack the Lakers.
After passing the ball out, the fat man took Kobe Bryant to walk around the court, and the other Hornets players were not in a hurry to finish the ball, but waited for the fat man to be in the position while killing time.
Kobe Bryant couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Yang Yi running unhurriedly. Looking at the situation of the Wasp, it is planning to fight steadily!
The fat man received a pass from Anderson on the left side of the free throw line, and immediately after receiving the ball, he hit Kobe Bryant with the ball on his back. Although his physical energy is almost exhausted, his strong tonnage and full value of relying on the playing value still allow him to push Kobe Bryant a little bit towards the basket.
"Wrap him, wrap him, don't give him a chance to get out of his hand." Seeing Kobe Bryant being pushed back by the fat man, D'Antoni couldn't sit still and shouted at the Lakers players on the court. His previous tactics were mainly aimed at Yang Yi, even if he let go of the other Hornets players.
Here's your chance! Hearing D'Antoni's words, Yang Yi thought to himself.
Seeing a dark shadow pounce on him, he passed the ball over his head without thinking.
Bang dang!
When Howard went to Yang Yi, he found that the ball in his hand was no longer there. Hearing movement in the basket, he looked back and saw Lopez hanging his hands on the basket.
At 106:105, the fat man took advantage of the Lakers' eagerness to pass the ball out, completed the aerial connection with Lopez, and overtook the score by the way.
"Watch defensive!" After Lopez's successful dunk, the fat man immediately beckoned his teammates to return to the backcourt, and if he could prevent the Lakers' attack, the Hornets would have the victory.
The decision of the game is back in the hands of the Lakers, and whether the offense is successful or not directly affects the subsequent process.
This ball conversion is likely to be the Lakers' last offense, so as the leader of the team, Kobe Bryant undoubtedly raised the banner of offense and forced Gordon with the ball.
As the leader of the Lakers, whether it is the former Peter Pan or the current Black Mamba, he has a never-say-die heart and a strong desire to win**.
Swish!
is another classic back hit, a classic step-back jumper, Kobe Bryant used a step-back jumper to tell the world that even if the former Peter Pan is gone, the current black mamba is still a black mamba.
Beep!
Williams called another timeout, and now the score is 107-106, and the Lakers lead the Hornets by one point with only eight seconds left on the game.
Eight seconds is the last chance for the Hornets. Whether to continue the winning streak or be terminated depends on how you play in these 8 seconds.
The Hornets bench is a little depressed, and there is a lot to do in 8 seconds, but all the players know that the Lakers will definitely defend with all their strength in the future, and the original set tactics are no longer suitable.
Now except for Yang Yi, no one dares to make a move. After all, it's about hitting the seventeen-game winning streak, and if it misses, who can afford to take responsibility?
"Monty, give me the last shot!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, the fat man hurriedly spoke.
He's the boss of the team and he should take on the responsibility of being the boss when it counts, whether he has fitness or not.
"Alright! But the one, you don't have to have psychological baggage, you can fight how you want, we're still young, aren't we? Williams patted the fat man on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Well, I'll leave it to me!" Yang Yi also patted Williams on the shoulder. He is grateful for the trust he placed in Williams and wants to repay Williams with the same trust.
However, the situation on the field did not change according to his will. At critical moments, everyone has a time when they miss.
With three seconds left in the game, Yang Yi pressed the three-point line against Kobe Bryant and projected the ball. However, at the moment of shooting, he felt that it was short, and the ball was likely to smash out of the basket.
Bang dang!
As the fat man expected, the shot basketball smashed on the front of the basket and bounced out.
Golden opportunity! Seeing the basketball smashing out of the basket, Howard, who was standing under the basket, pushed Lopez to pick up this defensive rebound and defend the final victory for the Lakers.
However, when he was about to pick up the rebound with one hand, a black shadow flew from behind. Immediately after, a large hand pressed the basketball from the top of his head and smashed it into the basket. Howard was stumbled by the shadow, and it was not easy for him to gain a foothold.
Beep beep!
But at this moment, the whistle sounded at the end of the game. Howard turned around and saw that Yang Yi was sitting under the basket holding his leg in pain.
At 108:107, the Hornets completed the lore at the last second, and the replay on the big screen above the arena showed the finale of the fat man's self-throwing and self-deduction.
