Chapter 25: The Last Moment
Michael Reid sat on the bench and gulped Gatorade, he was so tired! Michael Reid has been playing for a full 40 minutes in this game, and the amount of exercise has made his whole body soaked in sweat, and because of the loss of this sweat, he is now feeling very thirsty and cooing...... After a while, a large bottle of Gatorade was killed by Michael Reed.
"How? Michael, can you still play? Richard anxiously asked Michael Reed, Michael Reed has shown his importance to the team in this game, Michael Reed is irreplaceable in the Warriors' small-ball whirlwind strategy, at least this season, he is the only consistent three-point scoring point on the outside of the Warriors.
Michael Reed has been playing 40 minutes in this game, and in order for the team to maintain the same offensive power as the Lakers, Michael Reed has to stay on the court, and Michael Reed has not been off the court since coming off the bench in the third quarter.
And Richard shouted this timeout, which is already the penultimate timeout of the Warriors, and the only long timeout, Michael Reed can rest for a while, but wait, he still has to play.
Michael Reed nodded, he said that he could still play, there were two minutes left in the game, and the Warriors were only two points behind the Lakers 88:90, Michael Reed felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to play, originally the Warriors were ahead of the Lakers, but at the beginning of the third quarter, the situation changed, Kobe Bryant somehow had a convulsion, Michael Reed found himself very weak on the defensive end, he couldn't prevent Kobe Bryant at all, even with the help of the team's strength.
But fortunately, Kobe Bryant couldn't prevent him, in order to help the team bite the point difference, Michael Reed scored 3 three-pointers in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, when there were 2 minutes left in the game, Michael Reed had already made 4 three-pointers, counting the 5 three-pointers in the first half, Michael Reed had already made 9 three-pointers, and now, with 2 minutes left in the game, Michael Reed felt that he still had to shoot! He's going to win!
Michael Reed continued to play, and he had played 40 minutes in this game, shooting 11-of-21, including 9-of-15 from three-point range, and had scored 36 points. And his opponent Kobe Bryant has also played more than 40 minutes, reaching a terrifying 44 minutes, you must know that there are still 2 minutes left at the end of the game, which means that so far, Kobe Bryant has only rested for 2 minutes in this game! ”
"So far, he's 15-of-26 shooting, including 4-of-7 three-pointers, plus seven free throws, and he's scored 41 points, 36 vs. 41! It's a big battle between shooting guards! ”
Michael Reid stood on the court panting, and in front of him was Kobe Bryant, who was also panting, because of the performance of the two of them, this game will be so anxious, if Kobe's performance is a small explosion, then this game is Michael Reed's one-goal battle for fame!
No one knows or will not remember that Michael Reed's 9 three-pointers in this game are infinitely close to the single-game three-point shooting record set by Dennis Scott, the previous record was 11, and Michael Reed was only 2 three-pointers! It's entirely possible that he will break this record!
"Run! Cover! Pick-and-roll! It's Michael Reid and Antoine Jamison's hand-to-hand cooperation again! Michael Reed was completely empty, Kobe Bryant couldn't catch up, he could only watch Michael Reed shoot this three-pointer! ”
Hubbie Brown shouted, and Doon Cousinville on the side was even more excited: "Three points! It's Michael Reed's open three-pointer again! ”
When a crisp "swish" sounded in the arena, Doon Cooswell shouted, "Three points!" Entered! Three points! The Warriors overtook the score, and there was 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game! ”
Michael Reed threw his hands up in the air, he couldn't run anymore, he hit his 10th three-pointer and scored his 39th at the same time! It will be a new high for him to score!
"Rookie Michael Reed was just a bench player for the Bucks, and now he's breaking out with the Warriors! 10th 3-pointer! 39th point! ”
Kobe Bryant had a gloomy face, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and said in his heart: Now that Shaq is not present, everything depends on himself!
O'Neill wasn't there! That's right, because of the threat of shark hacking tactics, Phil Jackson didn't dare to put O'Neal on the court at all, but Kobe's outburst helped the Lakers stabilize the situation, and now, Phil Jackson can only pray that Kobe can give a little more force.
"Kobe Bryant's breakthrough, Michael Reid can't keep up with Kobe's pace at all, the ball goes in! The Lakers are once again leading by 1 point! They have too much playing time! Maybe Kobe Bryant rushed in this ball strongly, but Michael Reid was indeed lacking in physical strength! ”
Kobe Bryant raised his right hand in a chorus of boos! He withstood the pressure!
The clock was fixed at 1:22, and Ralph Alston had the ball firmly in possession of the half-court, and the Warriors' running began again.
"It's Michael Reed again, he gritted his teeth and shook off Kobe, three points! It's in again! Hubby Brown doesn't know what to say, and Michael Reed's open three-pointers don't seem to miss, even in this kind of physical exhaustion.
"With 1:03 left in the game, the Lakers' offense! Oh no! Kobe Bryant came up with a three-pointer against the defense! He's so impulsive! Oh no! Entered! Incredible! ”
Incredibly, just when everyone was talking about the Warriors about to win, Kobe Bryant directly returned a three-pointer! After hitting the board, there is a clang and enter the net!
The Lakers are once again ahead by 1 point! The game became more and more anxious, and there were 58 seconds left in the end, the Warriors' offense, the same hand-to-hand cooperation after blocking and dismantling, but the Lakers changed their defensive methods, they threw off Antoine Jamison and pounced directly on Michael Reed, so this ball, Antoine Jamison shot!
"Antoine Jamison's high jumper, it's what he does best, but unfortunately it didn't go in!"
There was a sigh from the Oakland Arena, I didn't enter! There were only 37 seconds left in the game, and the failure to score was very fatal for the Warriors!
"Defend! Defend! Richard couldn't sit still either, he shouted at the sidelines to defend.
The Warriors will begin to run strongly, complement defense, and assist on the defensive end...... The Lakers are not in a hurry to shoot, they are always looking for the best shooting opportunities, after all, it is the Lakers who are leading now!
"There are 15 seconds left! The Lakers shot, three points from Derrick Fisher! ”
Everyone looked up at this basketball that flew to the basket quickly, if it scored, then the Warriors lost, if not, the Warriors still had a chance of killing!
! There was a loud bang, followed by cheers like a tidal wave! Didn't go in!
At the same time the referee's whistle blows, timeout! Richard decisively used the last short timeout in his hand, and he was about to arrange the last attack!
"Let's play like this, Antoine feints, in this position, Michael, the ball is finally in your hands, show it directly, understand?" Richard quickly drew a few lines on the tactical board and came up with a complete final attack.
Michael Reid nodded, and Richard also breathed a sigh of relief, he clenched his fist and waved: "Come on!" Trust us! Can be won! ”
The timeout is over, the game is about to restart, the Warriors serve on the sideline, everyone holds their breath, one last offense, a stunner? Or a lore failure?!
Fifteen seconds was enough for the Warriors, who struggled to send the ball to the sideline, then controlled the time a little, and by the time there were about 10 seconds left in the game, Richard's last-ditch strategy was working.
Running, Antoine Jamison and Michael Reed crossed over, Kenny Thomas and Devon George together for Jamison and Michael Reed to block and dismantle, they instantly threw off half of the defender, at this time Ralph Alston with the ball stood at the top of the arc of the middle three-point line, and Jamison also ran over!
"Hand in hand! Could it be that it will be Antoine Jamison who will complete this lore?! ”
There was an exclamation from inside the Oakland Arena, but the ball didn't come to Antoine Jamison's hands as everyone imagined!
"Oh no! Just a false shot! Ralph Alston passes! Not Antoine Jamison! It's Michael Reid in the bottom corner! Michael Reed is completely empty, and it's a perfect pick-and-roll cover fit! Three points in the open space! Michael Reed never missed! ”
Michael Reed never missed! This was the last thing Doon Coswell said in this game, and Michael Reid also believed that he would not miss! Three points from his open position! Don't miss a shot!
The basketball flew high above the Oakland arena and then suddenly fell to the basket......
"Hum!" The first to sound is the timer beep at the end of the match.
“――!” Then there was a loud bang of a basketball hitting the hoop.
"Ahh And finally a huge sigh......
"Michael Reid missed, he didn't make a three-pointer in the open position! It's a shame that Michael Reed is only one step away from his first win in his Warriors career and one step away from hitting three points in a single game in the NBA. Hubbie Brown was wrapping up the game, and beside him, Doon Cowswell didn't say a word.
