Everyone was stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it was the Trail Blazers or Lakers players, or even the fans who came to watch the game, everyone was stunned, and no one was sure whether Kobe's shot was made before the timer ran out or after the time was up.

But this could not be hidden from the referees, and they went directly to the technical table to review the video of the game just now. In slow motion, it can be clearly seen that the red light of the timer only came on after Kobe Bryant made a shot. After repeated confirmations, the referee and the two assistant referees reached an agreement, signaling that Kobe's goal in the last 0.4 seconds was valid, and the score was rewritten to 102-101, the big score was 4-3, and the Trail Blazers were eliminated.

The next moment, the Staples Center became a sea of joy, and the smiles on the faces of all the Pioneers froze. 0.4 seconds, which they thought was insignificant, was used by Kobe Bryant to complete a counter-lore! Everyone in the team felt a little unbelievable, and some people were even scolding, but soon the big screen above the stadium gave a slow-motion replay of the last shot, and everyone was silent, this was a normal goal, no timeout, no violation, nothing, only that anti-lore.

Everyone's mind is empty, and the whole world seems to be close and yet far away. When Ye Feng hit that three-pointer, the whole Trail Blazers team hugged each other excitedly, thinking that this counterattack might be a prelude to the championship. But they were careless, even in the last 0.4 seconds, the opponent was unwilling to give up, and Kobe, the guy with the strongest heart and the strongest willpower in the league, took the Lakers to heaven at that moment, but kicked the Trail Blazers back to hell. If anyone is to blame for this, it's undoubtedly the entire Trail Blazers, including the starters, the benches, and the head coach.

When following his teammates into the players' tunnel, Ye Feng's tears finally couldn't stop flowing, originally he thought that he had saved the team, saved this round of the series, and even thought that he would be able to reach the finals in his rookie season to compete for the O'Brien Cup, but the cold facts told him that heroes are not so easy to be, and the slightest mistake will make a hero a sinner. He hated why he didn't notice Kobe's position, why he didn't stop the Lakers from turning his stunner into a joke, and why he didn't work hard to help the team build a bigger advantage before......

When Ye Feng felt sorry for himself, Auden next to him stabbed him and motioned him to look behind. Ye Feng turned his head in confusion, and a guy in a Lakers jersey was striding towards him, with No. 24 printed on his chest. Bryant? Ye Feng sobered up a little and looked at Oden suspiciously, he wondered why Kobe Bryant came directly to the door, shouldn't they stay on the court to celebrate reaching the Western Conference Finals? Auden rolled his eyes back, indicating that he didn't know. There's no way, the first person in the alliance has something to do with you, do you dare to continue to go out? I have to give a face, although they killed you just now......

Ye Feng shook his head, he didn't want to think about it if he didn't understand, he wiped a handful of tears fiercely, and went straight to meet it, squeezing out a smile that was more ugly than crying. But before he could speak, Kobe Bryant preemptively said, "Are you going to a press conference?" Let's talk if you don't attend? ”

In fact, Ye Feng was definitely going to attend the press conference, although it was a very miserable thing to be killed, but the media didn't care if you were miserable or not, as long as there was a breaking point. Ye Feng really didn't want to be sprinkled with salt in the past, hearing Kobe Bryant say this, he was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Then you don't have to go to the press conference?" That's not a good fit, is it? Anyway, you are also a hero who helped the Lakers advance. ”

Kobe Bryant smiled casually: "It's enough to have Phil in charge there, I still want to have a good chat with you." ”

If it continues, it will really become hypocritical, Ye Feng hurriedly agreed. Seeing Ye Feng nodding, Kobe Bryant motioned to the staff on the side to lead the way, and the three of them came to a relatively remote reception room together, the staff waited for Kobe and Ye Feng to enter the room, quietly closed the door, and then stood at the door like a door god, preventing some blind guys from bumping into it directly in ignorance.

Although the sparrow in the reception room is small, it is full of organs, Kobe opened the Xiaoice box in the corner, took out two bottles of sports drinks, one bottle was thrown directly to Ye Feng, and the other bottle was unscrewed and drank a big sip by himself. Seeing Ye Feng's overwhelmed appearance, Kobe Bryant smiled and asked, "Do you feel strange, why would I meet you privately at this time?" Strictly speaking, the two of us are-for-tat opponents. ”

Ye Feng let out a long breath and whispered, "I do feel very strange, especially after being killed by you just now. ”

Kobe Bryant nodded and said: "On the court, we are each our own masters, but off the court we may not be able to be friends." To tell you the truth, it was Karim who told me about you, he felt that you would definitely be the top star in the league in the future, plus although you are a Chinese, you grew up in Los Angeles, and the time I came here is not much different, so as soon as Karim instigated, I began to be interested in you, and I have to say that you did a good job, really good. ”

Ye Feng knew that Kareem that Kobe Bryant was talking about was Abdul-Jabbar, who had come to UCLA Bruins' training session, and he didn't expect the NBA legend to speak so highly of him. But then he smiled wryly: "I still lost this series, didn't I?" ”

Bryant's smile was gentle, not at all aggressive on the court, and he was silent for a moment before replying, "I know you're feeling bad, and any player who sees an upcoming win turn into a defeat can feel the same way you do." But you have to think about it in this series from another aspect, and in my opinion, you've played really well in all seven games, whether it's as a scorer or as a playmaker, as long as you're not blind, you can see the potential that you have. ”

"It's just a moment in your career, it's not the whole of your career. Tracy's dry pull is a good imitation of you, and it works well, you lose, but you just lose, and in a way, you've entered the mainstream media. Well, if you have time, why don't you listen to me tell me my own story. ”
