Chapter 149: Only Respect Remains
readx; "The Lakers are in danger in this game, and now there are only four minutes left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The Lakers are still 12 points behind in terms of point difference, although the point difference is not so much, but as time becomes less and less, it will be more and more difficult to recover such a point difference. It's only a matter of time before the Lakers set up their lineup. Barkley looked at the score and time on the field and said slowly, this game is indeed very exciting, this is what he has already thought. It's just that he didn't expect to fight to the end, but the Lakers never thought of giving up.
But when he thought about it, he instantly understood, it had come to this point, how could he choose to give up? Giving up is losing, and not giving up at least a little chance, although the opportunity is very few, but how to say that it is also an opportunity, right? And the reason why the Lakers didn't give up in this game was entirely because Kobe Bryant didn't give up, and since Kobe didn't give up, he continued to persevere. How could they, the players, give up early? I don't know if Kobe Bryant infected them, everyone's state is very good, and the fighting spirit is very strong, which is one of the important reasons why they have been able to bite the score.
Kobe Bryant held the ball, faced Huang Jun's defense, started again, and constantly fought physically. Until now, Kobe's physical fitness is not so abundant. It's a little tired, but now he doesn't have any choice at all, and this series has come to this point, and there is no such thing as giving up. In addition to attacking, he can only keep attacking, and he has scored 40 points so far in this game. But the shooting rate is not so high, and this is entirely because of the defense of the Chinese defender in front of him.
"You're really difficult, I never thought that a Chinese defender could bring me to this point." Kobe Bryant saw that he would not be able to break through the defense for a while and a half, so he had to stabilize and reorganize the offense. This is not uncommon. Especially in the fourth quarter, after Huang Jun defended him, he felt a little difficult to advance. Although he still scored forty points in the end, he knew that he had shot this kid countless times to get such a score. This made him really not know what to say about the defense of the kid in front of him. But he didn't have any other thoughts, the two were players of their respective teams, each completing their own tasks, and there was no point in getting involved.
"I said I'm going to make you feel very uncomfortable with this fight. We're not going to give you any more chances in this game, we're going to win this game anyway, which is the championship. It's enough for you to win two games, and you're trying to drag the series to game seven. Huang Jun's eyes were still staring at Kobe, and he didn't dare to be distracted in the face of such a super scorer. If you are not accidentally distracted, then the opponent may easily break through his defense, and the previous defense will be completely in vain. And this game has reached a critical moment, as long as you defend the next few minutes, then this game is equivalent to winning.
"Huh, huh? I know you're good, and you've shown that in the previous races. I know it's going to be very tough for the Lakers to win this game, but so what? I still think that our Lakers still have a chance in this game, and it is impossible to lose like this. Time is running out, and if you don't make a move, that's a twenty-four second example. The words fell, and Kobe Bryant jumped high directly in front of Huang Jun. At the same time, Huang Jun did not jump up in front of him to stop the attack as Kobe Bryant thought, which made Kobe Bryant not know what to say.
"This kid is really old-fashioned, since he said that, he won't jump up in advance to defend my attack. Didn't he know that if he jumped up to stop me, I had a very good chance of breaking the rules in 24 seconds? The thought flashed, and the basketball in his hand was slowly thrown. In his heart, he already thought that it was impossible for Huang Jun to jump again. However, as soon as his thoughts fell, the basketball in his hand had just been shot, and Huang Jun didn't know when he slowly jumped up. Without any mercy, he slapped the basketball in his hand directly, and was instantly covered and flying, and at the same time, the sound of twenty-four seconds came out.
"Isn't this defense perfect, I know that your previous sentence was completely trying to tempt me to jump early. But although you think so, I will not be easily fooled, and anyone who underestimates me will be miserable, and you are no exception. Huang Jun said coldly, and the moment the other party said that sentence before he spoke, he understood the reason why the other party did this. Now that she knows, it is naturally impossible for her to jump up as stupidly as the other party thinks.
"Hehe, it's really worthy of being a newcomer king, it's okay. I'm sure we'll be good friends after this game, you're a very good player, and it's an honor for China to have you as a point guard. After Kobe Bryant said this, he turned around and left. This situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Lakers, although he has known this situation for a long time, but when faced with this situation, he is still a little difficult to accept. The strength of the other party completely exceeded his expectations. No one has ever been able to bring him to this point. But now it's really being * to this point.
Huang Jun didn't speak, but took a deep look at Kobe's back, and then took the tee ball and quickly advanced towards the Lakers' half. For the next two minutes, it was actually very good. I don't know why, maybe it's because as the victory gets closer and closer, the crowd gets more and more nervous, and this emotion does not affect their decision, on the contrary, it makes them perform more and more. In just two minutes, the Cavaliers beat the opponent again with a six-to-zero small*, and the difference instantly came to the point of no return.
Kobe Bryant didn't know what to say in this situation, although this game can be said to have entered garbage time, but even then he still didn't think about giving up this game. Because he didn't want to have any regrets, maybe they lost the game, but now the game is over with two minutes to go, and they are eighteen points behind. It stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible for them to chase such a point difference, but Kobe Bryant still doesn't want to admit defeat like that.
"I know what you're all thinking, and I know that if you were to take a break now, you wouldn't be dead. I'm proud to be able to coach your group of players. With two minutes to go, we are now eighteen points behind. In the eyes of outsiders, we must have lost this game. To be honest, I think so in my heart. But there's still a little hope in my heart, because at least it's not over yet. As long as the game is not over, then the result of the victory is not divided, since it is not divided, then why don't we have any chances in this game? Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said lightly that he used a lot of tactics in this game, but in the end he didn't let the point difference be overtaken by the Lakers. And what he just said was exactly what he had in mind.
Seeing what the players wanted to say, Phil hurriedly said, "You don't need to say anything more in this game, the last two minutes are still handed over to you, and I don't have any tactics to arrange." If you want to recover an eighteen-point difference in two minutes, it is absolutely impossible to chase it by tactics. In these two minutes, you can only rely on Kobe, and you don't have to think about two-point shots in these two minutes, as long as you have a chance to shoot three-point shots, you can just shoot three-point shots. As for the final outcome of the game, we don't think about it. Everything is as it should. After saying this, he resolutely said no more, turned around and sat on his bench, his eyes looking away, and he didn't know what to think again.
The expressions of everyone on the Cavaliers' side were very relaxed, and in their hearts, it was absolutely impossible to recover this point difference in the last two minutes, and they were very confident in this. Everyone turned their eyes to their head coach, waiting for the final tactical arrangement of the game. In their minds, there is no need to set up any tactics for this game, but they know that this kind of thinking must not be spoken. They also know that the game is not over yet, and it is their own head coach who will be in charge. So everyone immediately turned their attention to their head coach.
Brown just smiled at this and said, "There are no more tactics to arrange in this game, and I believe that the opponent will not set up tactics in this time period." This game can be said to have been won smoothly. Now the only thing we have to do is give each other enough respect, and there is no friend or foe in this game so far. The game is over at this moment. And then all you have to do is get on the pitch and hold on for the last two minutes. In the past, I would have sent a substitute lineup, but now it's obviously not the past, and I'm going to take all of your main forces. This is the final sign of respect for the other person.
After saying that, Brown didn't say anything more, and he believed that his players could understand what he was trying to say. Everyone really understood, everyone's fists were clenched tightly, and their hearts couldn't help but get excited at this moment. Because they already know that the victory in this game belongs to them, and the championship is theirs in advance, and now the only thing they have to do is to go on the court and hold this championship.
