Chapter Seventy-Seven: Lock in Victory in Advance
With Kobe Bryant's three-point shot, this gave the East a new hope of reversing the game, and the five-point difference does not explain much of a problem, although it is not a big problem, but the same threshold depends on whether it can be crossed.
The stars in the East don't think about it that much, it's okay for them to hit the next ball, and don't think about the rest so much. As long as your side scores, do you care if the other party gets in or not? Even if you keep going in, so what? However, it is very difficult for either side to maintain high efficiency, so there will always be times when they will not enter, and it will depend on whether the other side can seize the opportunity.
Then the game went on until there was a minute, the last minute. The East is currently 140 to 136, four points ahead of the West. And the next ball is still in the east, which is undoubtedly very bad news for the east, but after all, the initiative is in the hands of the east, let's see if we can withstand it.
Huang Jun looked at Paul who was holding the ball in front of him, and said in his heart, "I must defend this ball, this ball is very critical, as long as I defend this ball, then the chance of us winning this game will reach ninety." While staring at Paul, I thought to myself. Indeed, as he said, if the next ball can be prevented, then this game will be won by the east in advance, but can the east be prevented? And is it possible for the West to lose the game like this?
Although Paul was holding the ball, everyone knew that the ball would definitely go to Kobe. But despite this, Huang Jun still doesn't dare to be a little careless, because if he is careless and lets Paul find an opportunity, then the latter will definitely attack without any hesitation, you must know that Paul is also a superstar, which one of the people present is not a superstar? Who would dare to let any of them go?
Paul saw that he didn't have a good chance, so he passed the ball directly to Kobe, Kobe naturally knew that the ball would definitely be passed to his hands, because ** Vicky was arranged during the previous pause, and everyone didn't have any opinions, after all, his key ability was there, this season's lore king is Kobe, and the second place is Blanton Roy, but Roy is still off the court at this time, and it is obviously impossible to go on the court to execute the key offense of the game, who called him a substitute?
Kobe Bryant, who received the ball, faced Wade's defense, Wade replaced Iverson after the last timeout, after all, the latter's defensive ability is too poor, and Wade not only has excellent offensive ability, but also is very good in defense, so it is undoubtedly a very good and wise decision to let him defend Kobe.
For Wade, Kobe Bryant didn't dare to take it lightly, continuous changes of direction, never able to pass Wade's defense, always appear in front of him at the first time, blocking his way, which made Kobe Bryant's depression, if it wasn't for his choice to break through two points instead of three points this offense, if it was three points, he wouldn't be so depressed, but it was two points, two points for the sake of success rate, as long as he hit two points, then the difference was only two points, and then the next attack in the east was prevented, Then the team has a chance to overtake the score.
With a turn of his mind, Kobe Bryant quickly found the answer, only to see that he first changed direction, and then accelerated in the opposite direction, and Wade seemed to follow. At the moment when Wade followed, Kobe Bryant directly stretched out his foot to prepare to change direction, and then broke through directly to the inside line from the other direction.
It turned out that Kobe's anti-change acceleration just now was a fake action, which was too true, and directly deceived Wade's defensive focus, so next Kobe's action, Wade didn't have time to defend at all, so Kobe, who killed the inside, was like a dragon into the sea, Ren Wei.
Although this is a very good interior line in the East, it is only good, you have to know who Kobe Bryant is? If you let him kill him under the basket, then you still want to stop him? Stop him from scoring? This is undoubtedly very difficult. Garnett moved sideways to defend Kobe Bryant, who had just rushed into the interior, and Kobe jumped directly high, as if ignoring Garnett's defense.
Garnett was naturally furious when he saw this, shouted angrily, and then jumped high, obviously to make the person in front of him who looked down on his defense look good, but when he jumped up and looked at Kobe, he clearly saw the smile on Kobe's face, this smile looked like there was some conspiracy, what was he laughing at? Garnett couldn't help but put a question mark in his mind.
In the next second, Garnett knew if it was a conspiracy, only to see that Kobe did not choose to shoot immediately after jumping up, but glanced at Garnett deeply, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and then turned around directly, dodging Garnett's long arm, so that his long arm could not touch his body, thus affecting his movements. The body in the air dodged Kobe Bryant, who had long arms, and then prepared to shoot, and the posture of this shot was somewhat strange, as if it was aimed at Garnett's long arms.
In fact, he was aiming for Garnett's arm, but Garnett didn't find this deep meaning, and went directly to the basketball fan, at that moment he clearly saw the curvature of Kobe's mouth, but at this time, Garnett obviously didn't have time to retract, and directly snapped and hit Kobe's arm.
At the same time, Kobe Bryant also threw the basketball in his hand, but just when Kobe thought that the ball would not hit any accident, Howard appeared directly from the side and fanned the ball in Kobe's air directly, and at the same time the referee's whistle sounded, Howard thought it was his foul, and looked innocent, looking at the referee who blew the whistle pitifully.
Then the referee explained, he knew that he had mistaken it, and Kobe's face was very ugly, he was aiming for two plus one, but he didn't expect Garnett to have a Howard behind him, which he didn't expect, there was a chance to score three points, but now there are only two points left, and there may not be two points.
Kobe Bryant, who walked to the free throw line, didn't know if the first free throw was because of the influence of his mood, but he couldn't hit the free throw with ninety percent certainty, which made all the fans, spectators and teammates stunned instantly, it's really strange, what's wrong with Kobe? Could it be that it was affected because the ball just didn't make two plus one? A lot of fans think so.
Everyone focused their eyes and attention on Kobe Bryant's second free throw, if this ball missed, it would be equivalent to a mistake just now, so it would be very difficult for the West to reverse or something in this game.
The second free throw, Kobe Bryant took a deep breath, then shot steadily, brushed, the second free throw hit, after seeing his second free throw, Kobe Bryant was obviously relieved, but his face was still very ugly, because he failed to score the first free throw, so he was still three points behind in the score, and the initiative was completely in the hands of the East. Now they can only pray that the other side will not score any goals in the next time, otherwise the victory will be booked.
There are forty-eight seconds left in the time, just two attacks, if the east completes the next attack, then the west still has a chance, if the east hits the next goal, then the west is no play, and the chance of play is very small, so everyone knows how important the next attack is.
Huang Jun held the ball on the periphery, dribbled slowly, not in a hurry at all, this attack must consume time, less than the last second, he will never attack, as for who will deal with the ball next, he already has the answer in his heart.
Looking at Paul in front of him, he said, "Let's go head-to-head with you for a real time." Then his eyes became very resolute and confident, this moment made Paul feel incredible, he never expected that the other party would change so much in a short period of time, which he really didn't expect. Seeing this, Paul speculated in his heart.
"Is he trying to attack on his own? Does he dare not look at the faces of James and the others? Paul was very suspicious of this, he didn't think that Huang Jun would choose to attack by himself before this, in his heart he thought that the opponent would hold the ball on the periphery, consume the time to attack, and then when the time was almost up, he handed the ball to the player who was preparing for this attack to attack. However, what was happening now was clearly very different from what he had guessed, how could he not be shocked?
Although he was thinking about these things in his heart, Paul didn't have the slightest intention of relaxing, his eyes didn't turn to look at Huang Jun, for fear that he would suddenly start, although he thought in his heart that the other party would definitely consume almost no more time before attacking, but there are always exceptions to everything, isn't it? Therefore, it is still necessary to defend in advance, if you suddenly attack, and you are not ready, isn't it so that the opponent can pass yourself without any difficulty, so as to complete the attack?
Looking at the time, seeing that the time was almost up, he dribbled in place continuously, without any intention of rushing inward, and suddenly saw Huang Jun jumping high in the same place, Paul didn't expect the other party to be so sudden, so he didn't keep up for a while, and gave the other party enough point guards.
Brush, Huang Jun's three-point shot, this is an unreasonable three-point shot, but he has confidence in himself. So the shooting is so resolute, with Huang Jun's three-point shot, this game is won in advance, as long as the opponent's next offense misses, then it is ironclad to win this game.
For Huang Jun's shot this time, the players in the east did not have any dissatisfaction, although this three-point point looks like an unreasonable three-point, but this ball hit, hit it.
