As soon as Kobe Bryant scored this goal, not to mention the fans in the stadium, nor to mention the American media reporters, but to say that on the Weibo of the salary wave network in Chinese mainland, countless fans typed such a statement: "Koshen is mighty!" ”

"I'm not old!"

"Kobe God of War!"

"The Black Mamba has exploded!"

"My friends and I were stunned!"

……

The commentators at the scene continued to praise Kobe, and the actor Nicholson also stood up to applaud Kobe, and the fans at the scene also stood up and applauded Kobe Bryant under his leadership. The head coach of both sides? Anthony and McHale also shook their heads and sighed in their hearts: "It's really eye-catching to be nearly 40 years old and still be in such a good state and play such actions." ”

But Kobe Bryant did not roar after scoring a wonderful goal like he did when he was young, but with a solemn face, shouting to his teammates who were still cheering for him: "Back to defense!" ”

With four points to go and more than 40 seconds left, it's not time to celebrate.

Morality? Seeing this, Anthony secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that the closer Kobe Bryant is to the end of his career, the more mature he is.

The Rockets attacked, and Wen Hao began to dribble at this time. Normally, at such critical moments, the ball is handled by Harden, but at this time, in this case, he knows that the Lakers will definitely defend Harden, especially Kobe, and will definitely not let Harden have a chance.

Sure enough, as Wen Hao expected, Kobe Bryant defended Harden all over the court, and Harden had no chance to get the ball at all. Wen Hao dribbled the ball across the half court and did not rush to attack, he slowly dribbled while looking up at the time.

When there were 15 seconds left on the offensive clock, he suddenly activated. In this case, the ball carrier dribbles the ball until the last six or seven seconds before attacking. Nash didn't expect Wen Hao to attack suddenly, and was caught off guard, and was passed by Wen Hao with speed in one step, and hit the inside line.

Gasol on the inside came over to make up for Wen Hao, Wen Hao had already expected this move, he flicked his right hand behind his back, and the ball had hit the ground and passed to Parsons outside the three-point line.

Parsons was unguarded at this time, and after receiving the ball, the inexplicable feeling of being bound to hit once again welled up in his heart, and with this feeling, he did not hesitate to shoot.

As soon as he made a move, he clenched his fists and shouted excitedly in his heart: "In!" ”

But fate is sometimes the most tricky. Although Parsons felt so good when he shot that he could even close his eyes and say that he was going to score the goal. From any angle of the fans in the stadium, the arc and power of the ball were very good, and it was indeed as Parsons said.

However, when the ball popped up, Parsons was shocked, how could he not score? It feels really good when you shoot, why don't you go in?

But that's the way basketball is, sometimes you feel so good when you shoot it, but it just doesn't go in; And sometimes you feel like you're throwing off, but it's just going in somehow.

The basketball bounced high, and although the Rockets' interior twin towers tried their best to grab the rebound, the rebound still fell into Gasol's hands in the end. He handed the ball directly to Kobe.

The moment Kobe got the ball, Wen Hao went to wrap Kobe with Harden. But Kobe Bryant deserves to be Kobe, and his physical flexibility can be said to be one of the best in the entire league. When he jumped up in the air to catch the ball, his eyes looked at Harden and Wen Hao, estimating the angle of the two of them. Then, with the momentum in the air, he landed on the ground with the ball and suddenly popped forward. With a twist of his upper body, one side of his legs flashed through the narrow gap between Harden and Wen Hao.

"Oh!"

Everyone who saw the ball exclaimed. The angle that Kobe Bryant twisted on the upper body just now is not something that ordinary people can twist at all, and in a very short period of time, the legs are sideways, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Kobe, the true god man also.

Kobe Bryant took one step past Harden and Wen Hao and directly hit the frontcourt.

All the fans at the scene nervously clasped their hands and looked at Kobe.

Kobe Bryant really lived up to expectations, striding to the frontcourt, facing Parsons' defense, a pull in the air, and then scoring a basket.

"...... Uproar"

The Staples Center was once again stormy, and the fans were pouring in. Flood the players in the field.

Bryant made a brilliant fast break to chase the difference to 2 points.

McHale called a timeout. With 28 seconds left, he had to take a pause.

During the timeout, he said to Harden and Wen Hao: "The Lakers will definitely guard against you receiving the ball next, so let Parsons receive the ball when you serve, and then you will go up to receive the ball as the second wave of welcome players." They're going to guard us hard when we catch the ball, so you two can play pick-and-roll. Also, you have to be quick to get out of the ball, otherwise it's easy to run into their bag. Be cautious when passing the ball and never get cut off. ”

Wen Hao and Harden nodded, and at this moment, they both let go of their personal prejudices. Now is the time for them to cooperate.

McHale only cared about himself, but he didn't want to think about the fact that the players were very nervous in this situation, how could they remember what he said?

And what the Lakers didn't say, at this time, De Shuai has handed over the power to Kobe, and Kobe can do whatever he wants. Before becoming the head coach of the Lakers, he knew how stubborn and strong Kobe Bryant was. Jackson couldn't even tame Kobe, let alone him. So since taking office, he has been very amuseful to leave everything to Kobe Bryant at certain moments.

Kobe Bryant didn't say anything at all at this time, but took a sip of his drink, and then buried his head to rest, ignoring no one.

But the Lakers players understand that at this time, Kobe's attitude has only one meaning - give me the ball!

Now, of course, it's the Lakers defending and the Rockets attacking. But after you take the Rockets down, give me the ball!

After the pause, the Rockets are going to attack, and the Lakers are pressing the Rockets all over the court, of course, the most important thing is to defend Wen Hao and Harden, the two players with the best ball handling ability of the Rockets. It would be nice if the two of them could be prevented from catching the ball, and it would be better to prevent the Rockets from violating the five-second offense.

But McHale's arrangement still has some effect, Wen Hao and Harden did not go to catch the ball, but Parsons came to the backcourt and accelerated to throw off Nick? Young's defense, received the ball. And when Nick? When Yang was defending him closely, he suddenly passed the ball to Wen Hao.

After Wen Hao dribbled, he quickly advanced to the front court, and then slowly dribbled without pressure under Nash's defense. After fifteen seconds of dribbling, Bryant was in a hurry. At this time, there are only more than 20 seconds left, even if the Rockets miss the offense, but as long as the time is over, the Lakers only have the last 4 seconds left, which is not impossible to organize an offense, but in such a high-intensity defense in the playoffs, it is really difficult.

Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant immediately moved over to Wen Hao's side, and he wanted to come over and clamp Wen Hao with Nash. In his opinion, Wen Hao's threat is a little bit greater than Harden's, after all, Wen Hao is a playmaker, and he is also a playmaker who receives his ball with a high shooting percentage of his teammates. Such a player really can't let go.

Wen Hao saw Kobe moving towards him, and immediately passed the ball to Harden. Harden received the ball, saw that there were more than ten seconds left, and immediately started to attack. But just as he was taking his first steps, he suddenly discovered that Nick? Somehow Yang was on his left-hand side. As a last resort, he had to switch the ball to his right hand and break through from the right hand side.

But Kobe Bryant also went back quickly, and at this time he was already in front of Harden. Harden was caught off guard and slightly flustered, Nick on the other side? Young slammed Harden on the side, Harden was unsteady on his feet and lost the ball.

Nick? Young picked up the ball and quickly passed it to Kobe, who dribbled and ran to the frontcourt. Others followed Bryant like a gust of wind.

Kobe Bryant held the ball in his hand, looked at the basket with his eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "One goal is still missing, only one goal is missing!" ”

Fans at the Staples Center cheered excitedly when they saw the Lakers break the ball.

But at this moment, Wen Hao's figure suddenly blocked in front of the three-point line, which made Kobe Bryant slightly startled.

It turned out that at the moment when Harden dropped the ball, Wen Hao didn't grab the ball at all, but ran to the backcourt to defend in advance.

Wen Hao faced the menacing Kobe, his eyes were not confused at all, staring at Kobe's eyes. With his hands slightly spread and his legs firmly tied to the horse's step, he waited for Kobe.

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant's already fast speed suddenly went one section faster, and he broke through to Wen Hao's side.

Wen Hao stood there, not moving.

And the next moment, Kobe Bryant actually retreated after a cross change of direction.

When the fans at the scene saw this, they were all puzzled. Kobe Bryant is obviously almost past Wen Hao, why did he suddenly retreat?

Commentator Mu Lin saw Kobe retreating, sighed and shook his head: "It's a pity, Kobi has clearly passed Wen Hao, but he retreated because he didn't think of this in advance, it's a pity." ”

Apparently not understanding, Gna asked, "What's going on?" ”

Mullin explained: "With Bryant's last name, when he was down by two points with a few seconds left, he would have picked a lot of three points instead of two. In addition, he is now older, and if he plays overtime, it will be very bad for him and the Lakers, so he will choose to shoot threes from the outside to a greater extent. The reason why he accelerated forward was just a feint, in order to disrupt Wen Hao's footsteps, and then he stepped back to shoot three points. And Wen Hao saw through this, so he stood there and didn't move. After Kobe Bryant passed halfway, the follow-up retreat action had been made, but he saw that Wen Hao did not move at all. ”

"If Bryant knew that he could get over it so easily, the horror would have chosen two points."

"Maybe, but it's too late to say anything, and I can only ask for three points." (To be continued.) )
