Chapter 91: The Terminator (2-in-1)
~
As Heiner confronted Adi's board members, the game was in full swing at the Smoothie King Center Arena, and it was soon the final two minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Hornets are inseparable from the Lakers with the Big Three with the support of Yang Yi. So far in the game, the scores of the two sides have been entangled, and at 116:115, the Hornets temporarily led by one point.
D'Antoni quickly called off the game, he had to carefully arrange the team's tactics, the score of the two teams has been anxious, and he needs to think carefully about how to play next.
Yang returned to the bench out of breath and sat down in his seat. He's almost exhausted in his energy, and he's still able to play on the offensive end, and he's already on a walk on the defensive end. But even as he walked, the cheers at the Smoothie King Center were still ringing out, with fans frantically chanting his name.
"The One, can you keep going?" Williams asked softly after handing the fat man a bottle of Gatorade. He saw Yang Yi walking on the field before, but he didn't replace the fat man, the game has reached this point, and rashly replacing his own offensive pillar can easily cause the collapse of the team's military spirit, and the offensive end has to rely on the fat man.
"It's okay, the last two minutes, hold on and it's over." Yang Yi took a sip of Gatorade and gasped in reply.
"Alright! But you have to pay attention to safety, don't get hurt, you know the situation of the team now, you are the pillar of the team. And to prevent Waldpis from moving, I don't think the kid is looking at you quite right. ”
"No problem, Monty, this guy was a little hairy by me last quarter, and it's normal to hold a grudge. Originally, I wanted to get him down in the third quarter, but Kobe Bryant was in the opposite position with me as soon as he came up, and he couldn't get him in time, so it's his luck to be able to bounce on the court until now. The fat man said disdainfully. However, in his heart, he still secretly kept an eye on it, if he was really injured by Waldpais, he would be the one who suffered.
Williams nodded, picked up the tactics board and began to explain the tactics of the last hour.
Do you want to buy a bottle of Recovery Potion? The fat man listened to Williams explain tactics while thinking in his heart. The three-star mission of this game is just to win the game, and if you win, you will get three glory points, and it doesn't seem cost-effective to spend five glory points in exchange for three! And this game is not necessarily lost yet.
What to do? The fat man frowned, and he hesitated a little.
Just when he was still a little hesitant, the long-lost system voice rippled in his mind: "Side Mission: Terminator, requires the host to win the game and end the game with its own strength and perseverance in the last two minutes without the help of any external force." ”
Nima, great, I finally don't have to make difficult decisions by myself, it's good to have a system to possess you! If you complete the side quests of the system, you can earn 2 glory points.
He has completed the previous one-star tasks and two-star tasks, and if he can complete the side tasks of the system, then he can gain a total of 8 glory points in this game, which is too worthwhile.
Thinking of this, the fat man felt that he was full of strength and moved towards the points!
The 60-second timeout flashed by, and the two sides returned to the court, the Lakers' possession.
Nash dribbled the ball past the center circle and handed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who came to receive it, and the fat man guessed that the Lakers' offensive focus should still be on the outside, and Kobe Bryant would not hand over the ball at the critical moment.
Kobe Bryant held the ball and faced Gordon, the fat man's physical fitness was not good, so he could only entangle with Nash, a veteran, and the task of defending Kobe fell to Gordon.
Although Kobe Bryant is 34 years old this year, he is physically able to throw off the fat man for a few streets, and he is still steady on the dribble, and his breath is very stable in the face of Gordon.
Seeing Gordon in front of him staring at himself with open arms, Bryant raised his left hand and raised his index finger and shook it gently. Gordon didn't know why, he thought Kobe Bryant was sarcastic about him, so his eyes stared at the black mamba even deeper.
Howard's heart fluttered when he saw Kobe raise his index finger, he knew what Kobe meant. So he used Nash's entangled body with the fat man to block Lopez and ran to the outside to block Kobe.
After Howard blocked Gordon, Bryant rushed inside.
Just when the attention of the Hornets was on Kobe, Howard took advantage of their unpreparedness to cut into the restricted area, and then Kobe's pass flew in the air, and the monster jogged two steps before flying up, grabbed the ball with both hands and slammed it into the basket.
At 117:116, the Lakers led by one point.
The ball was back in the hands of the Hornets, and Gordon appeared at the point guard position to bring the ball to the frontcourt, where Yang Yi was already waiting.
Kobe Bryant now follows the fat man every step of the way, like a bodyguard. Speaking of which, there are few people in the alliance who can enjoy Black Mamba as a bodyguard, and it is definitely an honor for a fat man to have such a bodyguard.
The fat man walks around without the ball, pay attention, it's walking, not running, he's saving his energy now, accumulating strength for the attack later.
However, there was still a violent physical friction with Kobe Bryant in the process of the important position, but there was no way to do it, and at such a critical moment, physical confrontation was inevitable. Fortunately, his tonnage is large, and as long as he stands on Kobe, he can't squeeze it.
Yang Yi stood one step away from the free throw line and reached out to Gordon for the ball. In this process, Kobe Bryant also tried to interfere with the fat man's catch around the front defense, but he couldn't squeeze the fat man, and was firmly blocked by the fat man with his body.
After getting the ball, the fat man began to hit his back, and Kobe Bryant retreated again and again. Even if the tank does not have much fuel, it is not something that a car can stop when it starts.
Howard saw the fat man pushing Kobe forward on his stomach, and thought that there was an opportunity, so he abandoned Lopez and quickly stepped forward to wrap the fat man with Kobe. However, when he was about to get close to the fat man, the middle door was wide open, and the fat man hit the ball through the crotch, and Lopez quickly picked up the ball from the ground and hit it.
After Lopez hit the cricket, the monster still maintained the posture of the fat man, until Kobe Bryant stepped back, he was still a little puzzled, could he just let the fat man shoot.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and the Smoothie King Center Arena was suddenly filled with a burst of joy.
In the TNT live room, Barkley and Smith burst into laughter. "Howard is so funny, didn't he hear The One pass? I'm sure this image will be the first goal of the day's top five. Looking at Howard's innocent and confused face, I couldn't help but feel joy in my heart. Barkley burst out laughing.
"Maybe he's in a hurry! Now the score of the two teams is anxious, after all, guarding against The One is equivalent to cutting off the Hornets' firepower, and mistakes are inevitable. Smith laughed and said a word for Warcraft.
At this time, the big screen in the center of the Smoothie King replayed the scene where Howard was pierced just now, and Howard also looked up, but his face changed after seeing the picture, Nima This is simply a great shame!
Wearing the crotch Howard was just a temporary idea of the fat man, but he was still very happy after seeing the effect, especially since it didn't take much effort to add two points to the team, and it seems that this kind of thing will have to be done often in the future.
The crotch-piercing monster was just an episode of the game, and although Howard was a little annoyed, the game got back on track.
At the critical moment in the last two minutes, both teams played steadily and tried to shoot when they were sure, so although the score was scorching, the scene was not panicked.
As the Lakers' offense entered the countdown of ten seconds, Bryant began to play Gordon with his back. Lao Ke's footsteps are no stranger to everyone, very elegant and smart, and it is definitely a pleasure to watch him play back.
Although Kobe's physical fitness is already going downhill, his sense of experience is at the peak, and after hitting Gordon twice, he danced and turned around and made a backward jumper. Gordon knew he was going to do this, but he couldn't prevent it, so he could only watch Corvo shoot the ball.
Swish!
A crisp and pleasant grinding sound reached Gordon's ears. Gordon shook his head, Kobe's move is simply incomprehensible, and the only one who can stop him is himself!
After Bryant scored the ball, Williams called a stoppage for the game. There is only a little more than a minute left in the game, and you have to plan carefully how you want to play.
"Eric, Al, wait a minute, pay attention to the pick-and-roll, and give The One a shot. In addition, Robin, Anderson, you two must keep an eye on Howard, our interior line is already weak, and we can't give the Lakers a chance inside. ”
After a pause, Williams continued: "The One, go all out, but watch out for Waldpais, understand? ”
"No problem, look at me! In this game, the Lakers didn't want to get out of the game. "The fat man is categorical. Whether it's for the sake of the team's victory or personal gain, he can't afford to lose.
The other side.
"Kobe, Waldpais, you wait and watch for The One, the Hornets will eventually finish the ball in his hands. Also, to cut off his connection with the rest of the Hornets, as long as The One is left in a helpless situation, the Hornets won't make much waves! D'Antoni exclaimed.
Bryant didn't speak, but he nodded in agreement with the manager's tactical setup. To be honest, it was very unexpected for the Hornets to play the Lakers so far, after all, the Hornets only have a fat rookie to support. And if Gasol hadn't ended up because of an accident, the Hornets would have fallen down a long time ago, how could they still be jumping up to now.
After a 60-second timeout, the players returned to the court and the Hornets had the ball.
Yang Yi slowly advanced forward with the ball, and now there is a minute left before the end of the game, if you look at the offensive time, the Hornets have another chance to attack after this attack. He had to delay as much as he could, waiting until the last minute to make a move.
But he wants to stall for time, and the Lakers won't allow it. After the fat man passed the center circle with the ball, Kobe Bryant forced him, interfering with his dribbling and forcing him to pass.
The fat man stretched out his left hand to block Kobe's interference, and walked inside against him. When they reached the three-point line, Gordon and Aminu ran over to block Kobe Bryant, and Young took the opportunity to get rid of Kobe's entanglement, but he faced Nash and Waldpis again.
As soon as he saw Wald Pisyan, he smiled, this guy is really strong, and he hasn't been beaten down yet. But as soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately had a plan in his heart.
The fat man played hard, but he played a step back, retreated to the three-point line at once, raised the ball and prepared to shoot.
When Waldpis saw Yang Yi's movements, he thought of the scene at the beginning of the game, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, not knowing whether to jump up and interfere, so he didn't react in time. He didn't come to his senses until Nash ran past him to interfere with the fat man. But the fat man has already made a move, and it won't help him to rush over again!
Swish!
The basketball danced in the air for a brief time and crashed into the hoop.
121:119, the fat man's triad is the next city for the wasps!
The Lakers only had one short timeout left, and with 46 seconds left before the end of the game, D'Antoni didn't know whether to call a timeout. However, after the Lakers serve, he still plans to wait and see.
Nash quickly advanced forward with the ball, which was a clear difference from the fat man's slow movements.
After halftime, Nash quickly got the ball into Bryant's hands. Bryant held the ball to face Gordon, he didn't strike immediately, but waited until Jordan Hill stepped forward to block and pick and roll, quickly got rid of Gordon, moved a step to the left and quickly made a three-point shot when Anderson stepped forward to interfere.
Swish!
The basketball drilled into the basket with precision as the pressure returned to the Hornets.
At 122:121, the Lakers overtook the score again.
Kobe Bryant shot to overtake the score, clenched his fists and made his trademark move, while also glancing at Yang.
With 26 seconds left before the end of the game, Williams rushed to call a final short timeout. Nima's race is like a roller coaster, it's a bit exciting!
"We're still playing the same way we did just now, but try to ensure the hit rate, and we must be stable, The One, no problem!"
"Don't worry, Monty, the task of killing the Lakers and saving the world will be handed over to me, who dares to slash immediately, only I am General Yang!"
"You kid, be steady!" Williams was a little helpless, at such a critical moment, the average rookie had already been scared and his limbs stiffened, how could he still talk and laugh like him.
This guy is a demon!
Back on the court, Yang Yi still dribbled slowly to the front court like in the previous round, and the palms of the other Hornets players were soaked with sweat, and their running was a little stiff. Only the fat man is still like a person who has nothing to do, what to do, and he doesn't know what nervousness is.
Kobe Bryant stared at the fat man with a serious face, trying to see his next move. It's a pity that the fat man didn't react, he usually played how he played now, and only when the offensive time entered the countdown of ten seconds did he push Kobe Bryant to the inside line, and when he entered the free throw line, he began to play back.
Kobe Bryant's heart 10,000 Cao Nima roared by, and he came to this trick again, he was beaten by the fat man's back no less than 20 times in this game, and now he was a little stunned to see the fat man come again.
Watching Yang play Kobe Bryant with his back, the Hornets players began to run around the court, trying to disrupt the Lakers' defensive formation. They did exactly the right thing, and the rest of the Lakers' players simply didn't dare to leak at such a critical moment, so only Kobe Bryant stood in front of the fat man.
Three seconds after hitting Kobe Bryant with his back, Yang Yi immediately launched Kobe's turnaround and backward jumper, and the moment he jumped up, the fat man only had the basket in his eyes, and the ball was quickly thrown by him after it was raised above his head!
"Let me in! Is there anything more exciting than using Kobe's stunt to kill Kobe? Yang Yi shouted in his heart.
Swish!
The basketball flying in the air plunged into the basket in Kobe's unwilling eyes, rubbing against the net to make a pleasant sound.
At 123:122, the Hornets overtook the score.
The fans at the scene are already crazy, the fat man is simply the team's anchor, no matter what kind of situation the team has reached, as long as he is there, he can be guaranteed to be safe and sound.
D'Antoni had to call a timeout this time, with only four seconds left in the game, and he had to think of a plan. Otherwise, even if New Orleans came for nothing, the hair would not have taken a single one!
On the Hornets bench, Williams is also arranging tactics, but defensive tactics.
"The One, would you like to take a break?" Williams asked. The fat man is now a serious drag on the team's defense, and Williams wants to replace him to keep the team's defense going. However, this game was fought to this point with all his might, and Williams had to ask him for advice even if he wanted to switch to a defensive player.
Yang Yi shook his head and didn't speak, what are you kidding, he is tired and tired to fight until now, if someone else goes up and loses the game, who will he talk to. And even if he loses, he has to play.
Seeing the fat man's resolute attitude, Williams didn't continue to say anything, if he was replaced without the fat man's opinion, there would definitely be a contradiction between the generals, which Williams didn't want to see.
"Okay, then let's lay out the tactics, the Lakers' last offense is very likely to be Bryant, you pay attention to him..."
In the final four seconds, Bryant took the ball from Nash and threw it. The moment Kobe Bryant shot, the fat man's heart was lifted, and watching the ball get closer and closer to the basket, Yang Yi felt that his heartbeat began to accelerate.
The basketball started to fall, and at this moment, the fat man really wanted the basket to be as small as possible!
Bang dang! The sound of striking iron came, and the fat man's heart slowly retreated. He swore he had never felt the sound of striking iron so good!
Toot toot! The sound of the end of the game sounded, Kobe Bryant missed the stunner, and the Hornets won the game that was broadcast live in the United States.
"Di, congratulations to the host for completing the side quest and getting 2 glory points."
Yang Yi propped his hands on his knees, felt the soreness coming from his body, and shouted luck in his heart! But I'm still happy to get 8 glory points!
