Chapter Ninety-Two: The Last Stand I.

Post-match press conference. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Bryant, your shooting percentage as the team's top attacker in this series has not improved, which has directly led to the team's loss, and now you are facing exit if you lose one more game, will you make adjustments in the next game?" A young and beautiful female reporter asked.

'It's my responsibility to lose these games, I didn't put the damn ball in it.' Kobe Bryant's eyes were bloodshot, he looked a little tired, not at all like a 19-year-old teenager, "As for adjustment, that's not something I need to think about, I just need to be ready and try to win the next game." ”

The beautiful reporter couldn't get a word out of Kobe's mouth, so she could only turn to Tony to ask questions.

"Mr. Marles, you're the best player on the team in this series, but you haven't been able to help the team win even one win, as far as you know, you've only signed a one-year contract with the Lakers, and when your contract expires this summer, will you choose to leave a competitive team?" The female reporter fired a heavy cannon directly.

This reporter is too cheating and is asking what the hell question. Originally, Tony was still admiring the female reporter's hot figure with great interest, and his mind still fantasized from time to time, and when he heard this question, his favor for the female reporter suddenly dropped to the freezing point, which was cheating him.

The female reporter also straightened her chest with a charming expression, wanting to tempt Tony to get some powerful information, all of which lost her sexy taste in Tony's eyes.

"Uh.... It's not over yet, and I don't want to talk about next season. Tony unceremoniously gave the female reporter a closed door, and then stopped talking to her.

Hearing this, Harris, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that Tony would talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army, but fortunately, Tony was still more measured.

......

Both the Lakers and the Jazz got a day's rest, and this series played like this, Kobe Bryant was very self-reproachful in his heart, especially the last three three non-sticks in the last game, which was a great shame for him, so on this day, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by Harris, Kobe Bryant almost trained himself to death, he absolutely did not allow the team to be swept, and he was desperate to complete revenge in the next game to prove himself.

At such moments, Tony also consciously stayed after the team's training and did a few more sets of physical training.

However, to the surprise of the two, there was another person who also stayed, and he was constantly training for switchback runs, and this person turned out to be Fisher.

Harris looked at the three young men who were training, and he was also full of emotion in his heart, he really didn't expect that at this time, the most professional people were not the old birds, but the three rookies this season.

This makes him full of hope for the future of the team, talented and willing to work hard, and it is difficult for these lads to succeed.

The next night.

Game 4 and possibly the final game between the Lakers and Jazz is about to begin.

Line-ups:

The Jazz started John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek, Brian Russell, Karl Malone and Greg Ostertag.

Lakers start Derrick Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Eddie Jones, Eldon Campbell, Tony Marles.

Everyone knows in their hearts that this will most likely be the Lakers' last home game of the season, and the Lakers fans are very loyal, they still come to the arena, and they are willing to go through it with the team even if the team is eliminated.

The commentary DJ of the Forum Arena has already begun to render the atmosphere before the game has even started, and the big TV above the center of the arena is constantly playing the highlights of the Lakers' wonderful goals this season, and the enthusiasm of the whole arena is constantly heating up.

In this atmosphere, the two sides ended the pre-game warm-up activities, and the players of the two teams quickly stood up, and the game entered the jump ball stage.

Ostertag and Toney stood on either side of the halfway line, both ready to kick off and by the referee tossed the ball high in the air, they were all up and running.

After a scramble between the two, the basketball was still played by Ostertag to Russell on the Jazz side, and Russell passed the ball to Stockton and immediately ran towards the Lakers' half.

Almost to the boos of the audience, Stockton dribbled through the half.

Karl Malone immediately stepped forward to make a pick-and-roll, and Stockton had no trouble getting Fisher in, and he went straight inside to the Lakers' defense, adding two points to the Jazz with a mounted archery throw.

The Jazz lead 2-0

The first shot hit, and Stockton's face was also unfazed, and he slowly retreated to the defense.

Fisher, who was blocked, did not feel any psychological pressure because of his goal, and he was unable to stop Stockton for the entire series, and he was no stranger to such a goal.

Fisher dribbled carefully through the half, and Stockton's tackling ability was among the best in history, and he would have suffered if he hadn't paid attention.

Bryant received the ball smoothly, and he dribbled it twice to get it into Tony's waist position.

Toni sat with his back on Ostertag, he dribbled twice, then a shoulder flick confusing Ostertag, and then he turned around and hit a solid jumper, and he was mentally prepared to play the whole game long before the game, so he was very clever in choosing a less physically demanding attack.

The game continued, the Jazz were still the same old routine, Stockton once again tore apart the Lakers' defense and entered the interior with the blocking and pick-and-roll given to him by Malone, and Campbell stepped forward a little more this time and no longer let him shoot easily.

However, Stockton immediately faced Campbell's interference and threw the ball into the air very quickly, and the next second, Malone quickly went down to catch a dunk.

His performance was not over yet, Toni wanted to take advantage of the Jazz's unstable defense to grab time to serve Fisher quickly, but Stockton stabbed the ball from the diagonal stab and cut the ball directly.

He was still in mid-air when he cut off Toney's pass, but he didn't hesitate, and the moment his hand touched the ball, his wrist flicked, and the basketball flew straight into the hands of Brian Russell, who was still near the three-point line before he could return to defense.

The unguarded Russell went up and down, and the Jazz added another three points.

In less than a minute of the opening game, Stockton sent 2 points, 2 assists and 1 steal, directing a wave of 7:2 offensive climax.
