At the Staples Center, there's never a shortage of starlight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the Staples Center, fans never feel a lack of passion.
In the Staples Center, it's hard for any team to take away the win easily.
Because!
Here's one man, the greatest scoring guard of all time, Kobe Bryant. This man carried a piece of purple gold sky with an unyielding backbone, and his undying fighting spirit and unparalleled leadership ability created unimaginable cohesion. This makes the Staples Center one of the most feared home stadiums in the league, and this season, it is the birthplace of the myth of undefeated.
For a whole season, the Staples Center hasn't tasted defeat, which makes for a tasteless sense of tedium.
Of course, the undefeated myth at the Staples Center isn't just because of Kobe Bryant, where team greatness is at the root of it all. A group of young people surrounded Kobe, a veteran who had been in the league for 20 years, showing rare energy.
Unbeaten in 42 home games in the regular season, and now 7 consecutive home wins in the playoffs, the Lakers have won 47 consecutive home games this season, how terrible it is.
"Can't be beaten, this season's Lakers are the strongest team in history, as strong as the 72-win Bulls are absolutely unmatched."
"For a team that is too strong to beat, a championship should already be in the Lakers' pocket. Kobe Bryant is on his way to greatness in a perfect way, and perhaps his glory will be at its peak this season. ”
"Some people once lamented that many players were born in the era of Jordan by mistake, and perhaps in this era, it should be more emotional that LeBron James won by mistake in this era. Although he has won the championship, it is inevitable that he has been on the same path as Jerry West, the godfather of pathos. ”
"48 wins! There is a great chance that the Lakers will continue the myth of a single season of unbeaten home games, and I am a big believer in that! ”
During the finals, ABC\ESPN and many other media and TV stations have talked about this year's finals. Most of the support is focused on the Lakers, and the vast majority of voices are more supportive of the Lakers winning three consecutive championships, and Kobe Bryant continues his perfect late career.
As if, on the cusp of the storm and under the shroud of the heat, the pressure is naturally concentrated on the Lakers' opponent, that is, the Cavaliers. And in the Cavaliers, the most pressure is naturally LeBron James.
The aura of the pride of the sky does not necessarily bring good luck to a person, since he entered the NBA in 03, I believe that James's heart has changed from the original high-spirited to the bitter now, and everything expected is gradually moving away from him.
And under the huge pressure, what kind of energy can a person burst out?
At this time, the stars seemed to be getting dimmer at night, all of which were suppressed by the two bright stars in the center of Staples.
The wild shouts, the hot arena, the overwhelming whistling, the spotlight is still quietly focused on James and Kobe.
The anxious game, after several twists and turns, time is rapidly draining. At this time, there are only more than 2 minutes left before the end of the game, and the score is 100:101, and the Cavaliers have overtaken the score, although it is only a slight advantage, but it can calm a person's heart.
"The Lakers' possession, this shot is very crucial, if it can't be scored, then the home team will be passive."
The sound of on-site commentators rang out, explaining the situation of the game at this time.
"Kobe Bryant wants the ball! It's because of his personality. The Black Mamba is 38 years old, will he be able to score this crucial goal? ”
It seems that for the home team, this is a key attack. As is the case at this point, if the Lakers are unable to score, then the situation will be extremely bad for the Lakers, and the Cavaliers may be able to take the opportunity to extend the lead.
At such a juncture, players need to step up and score. Considering the stage of the finals at this time, Kobe Bryant is naturally the best to do.
You know, Black Mamba's character has been like this for decades, and now at this time, it seems to be the moment of his personal performance.
……
"Kobe! Bryant! ”
The scene simply rang Kobe's name, without much noise, obviously the home fans were afraid to disturb Kobe, who was focused on offense.
The man the Cavaliers used to defend Kobe Bryant was Shambaugh, but after a run and a misalignment, the defender in front of Kobe Bryant became James.
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the scene became different, and the sense of heat immediately became stronger.
James is quite serious, his eyes are like stagnant water, considering James's defensive skills, Kobe Bryant does not dare to act rashly.
Under the stalemate of two or three seconds, Kobe Bryant moved, turned around and shook his shoulders under the diagonal breakthrough of James, and deceived James with the help of a shooting feint, and under the confrontation between the two in the air, Kobe threw the ball in!
At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.
The scene suddenly roared, Kobe Bryant not only scored the ball, but also caused James's foul!
Hitting a steady free throw, Kobe Bryant completed a "2+1".
“MVP! MVP! ”
At the Staples Center, the fan-generated craze instantly swept to the top of the arena like the sky.
Bryant scored a goal, which was a big boost to morale.
However, James was not willing to be lonely, as the leader of the team and the organizer of the NBA, James rarely did not pass, but did not hesitate to pull out three points outside the three-point line, and the basketball responded to the net!
The atmosphere that had just been heated up was shot down in an instant, and the score was 103:104, and the Lakers were still 1 point behind.
James' goal did not make the Lakers players on the court lose any cool, and the characteristics of the championship team were unmistakable. Everything was going on as usual, the young players didn't change, and with the orderly running passes, the basketball fell into Kobe Bryant's hands again.
"Although I believe that this is not the time for hero basketball, I can only say that it is right to give the ball to Kobe."
Barkley spoke, and the guy's big mouth finally uttered something that was quite comfortable to hear, at least in the ears of the Staples Center's supporters.
Seeing Kobe Bryant holding the ball, the players on the sidelines slowly began to stand up, and the remaining time of the game had begun to enter less than 2 minutes.
Off the field, Chu Xuan squinted his eyes, and in the narrow gap, a wise and sharp light flashed. Bryant's offense with the ball was correct, but he was worried about whether he would be able to get the ball to the basket against James' defense.
However, no matter what, as the head coach, Chu Xuan believes in the choice of the players on the court at this time, after all, they all believe in Kobe, this is everyone's choice!
Kobe moved, James's defense is airtight, even though Kobe's skills have reached a historic level, but because of the decline in physical fitness, he still can't get rid of James's defense.
Just when everyone thought that Kobe Bryant would be helpless, Kobe suddenly took a step back under continuous disguise.
Under the nervous voice of the scene, James hurriedly pounced forward.
However, it was still a little late, Kobe Bryant pulled up directly, leaned back slightly, and threw the ball elegantly.
"Again! Pointers! Kobe Bryant~"
The breath of praise sounded, interpreting the wonder of this ball.
"Strong personal ability, the black mamba style is still there."
……
Kobe Bryant scored, Tyronn Lue hesitated, but didn't call a timeout after all!
He waved his hand and signaled that the court would continue to surround James, and the basketball would run in James's hands.
No one thought that after James passed half the court with the ball, he would hit another three-pointer under several passes!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely weird and slightly heavy, James, who has never been good at three-point shooting, actually hit three-pointers in a row at the last moment, which is really unimaginable!
106:107! The Cavaliers are still ahead, time is running out, and they are starting to close in under a minute.
"Incredible three-point shot, LeBron's big heart, he wants to make a name for himself with his actions! The Lakers asked for a timeout, and the rest of the game is obviously going to be even more exciting. ”
……
Chu Xuan called the players together and talked about the next offensive options. He had no other choice for this offensive option, and Bryant's last two shots made him choose to trust. However, he will not pin all his hopes on Kobe Bryant alone, after all, he has a bunch of outstanding players under him!
Everyone is speculating about how the Lakers will play next, including Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue, who has always wanted to beat Chu Xuan.
However, no one thought of the true purpose of the tactics arranged by Chu Xuan.
After returning to the court, everyone was surprised by Chu Xuan's lineup, he actually put Danny Green and Korver two shooters on the court at the same time, and on the inside, he sent Pau Gasol and Towns, who have three-point shooting ability.
"At the critical moment, Chu Xuan removed Norris Noor? Is this about abandoning defense? ”
The core of the Lakers' defense is Noll, and in Noll's absence, two shooters who are not particularly good at defense are placed, so Chu Xuan's purpose is also worth discussing.
Tyronn Lue was also thinking about it, he thought that Chu Xuan wanted to play three points once, after all, the advantage of this lineup is the outside, and all five players have strong three-point ability, such a lineup, although the defensive ability is not good, but the threat on the offensive end has been amplified to the extreme.
The more Tyronn Lue thought about it, the more he agreed with his own idea. It's just that he can't be sure how the Lakers are going to play, who will ultimately make the shot, and even the shooting that can determine the outcome of the game.
"Either way, Kobe Bryant will definitely be the dominant offensive man in this round, and I think the Cavaliers just need to focus their defensive efforts on Kobe." Barkley has his say.
Cleverly, the Cavaliers did exactly what he said he did, which made Big Mouth proud of his intelligence.
But what was quickly slapped in the face was that the Cavaliers' defensive strategy was obviously wrong, the Lakers did not focus on Kobe, Chu Xuan made the hot Kobe Bryant a bait on the court, thus confusing the Cavaliers.
The sound of basketball piercing the net was extremely harsh, and the Lakers played an offense, giving the Cavaliers a fatal blow.
"Korver hit a three-pointer, the Lakers overtook the score and got a two-point advantage, and the Cavaliers were in a passive position because there was not enough time for the Cavaliers to have two offensive opportunities."
The Lakers' shot was very subtle, showing Chu Xuan's imagination in tactical arrangement.
Gasol and Towns pinned down in the high and low posts, respectively, making the Cavaliers mistakenly believe that the offense would start from the duo, thus slightly ignoring the threat from beyond the Lakers' three-point line.
In this way, Korver and Green formed a series of passes in small areas, thus gaining absolutely undisturbed shooting space, and then Korver hit a direct three-point shot.
The ball is passed between the two shooters, both of whom are the dominant players in the attack of the round, while the other three are decoy presences. This is an extremely strange and unexpected offense, which also creates an absolute advantage for the Lakers to take the lead.
"Chu Xuan really dares to fight, he actually created an attack completely around the two players with the worst sense of existence, tsk, the Cavaliers are difficult."
109:107! The Lakers lead by two points.
For the Cavaliers, the situation is extremely unfavorable at this time. They have no choice but to score a goal in order to have a chance of survival.
Pressure!
Pressure!
Pressure!
In the entire Staples Center, there is not much sense of depression, but as a laggard at this time of the game, the pressure in my heart is really difficult to release.
When the game resumed, the spotlight was on James, and the camera gave him a close-up for a long time.
In fact, from the last quarter of the game, the game has completely evolved into a dialogue between the superstars of the two eras.
"LeBron James got the ball, is he going to make a shot?"
Ten seconds later, James got a chance to shoot, and this ball was like exhausting all the spirit of this team aiming to compete for the championship, and the ball fell into James's hands in a very timely manner. Under the gaze of hundreds of millions of eyes, James adjusted slightly, leaned back and shot the ball out!
The Nets were like being shot, and the white spray vented the emotions of all the Knights!
The DJ shouted, "Kill the game's goal?" A masterpiece from LeBron James! ”
In just two minutes, James hit his third three-pointer! He has already collected the last 9 points of the game, and the greatness speaks for itself!
But is it really killing the game? The jury is out as there are as many as 20 seconds left after this goal.
Well, that is, the right to kill the game is actually in the hands of the home team.
What a clear and clear situation, all of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on one person.
Black Mamba ~ Kobe!
With an indifferent smile like a spring breeze, it seems that the answer is not difficult to guess~
