Chapter 679: The Road to Heaven and Man
The moment Kobe Bryant shot the basketball, his ears were filled with desperate screams, and many people were shouting 'no.'
Many times in his career, he's heard opposing fans howl in despair under his shots.
This time, however, he knew that despair wasn't because of his shots. It's the player who fell!
When Kobe Bryant landed, the basketball had not yet fallen into the net, and Xiao Sao had already run quickly from the other side!
Swish!
The basketball made a crisp hole through the net and made a pleasant sound.
However, at the moment, no one pays attention to whether the basketball is scored or not.
Everyone's attention is on Jeffries, and they are all concerned about whether he is injured or not, more than 20,000 hearts in the Madison Garden arena are twisted together at the same time, fans have stood up one after another, and some fans of faith are already praying to God, praying that this is just a false alarm!
"Are you alright?" Kobe Bryant turned around and asked Jeffries, who was gasping in pain on the ground.
Before he could get an answer from Jeffries, the dashing dash pushed him aside.
Seeing his boss being pushed away, Pau Gasol tried to reason with Xiao, but was quietly blocked by Kobe Bryant, and then pulled him away.
Kobe Bryant can understand Xiao Sha's mood at the moment.
Although it is an opponent, he can still be considerate.
Although Jeffries' injury was a bigger surprise for the Lakers, he could feel the Knicks' desolation and despair at the moment...... Fate played a big joke on them. This joke brought luck to the Lakers, but it brought deep despair and helplessness to the Knicks!
How can man fight against God?
At some point, Kobe Bryant began to try to believe that there really was such a thing as providence in this world. Otherwise... How can the Knicks' players get injured one after another? And it's the most critical fourth.
"Hey. Buddy. Tell me, you don't have the slightest problem, you can still keep fighting!! Xiao Shi ran over, almost prostrate next to Jeffries, who was injured and fell to the ground, his voice was flustered, this was the first time that Xiao Xiao had panic in his heart since joining the Knicks, and he began to run out of ground.
Jeffries tried to move his ankle, and a heart-rending pain drilled into his cranial nerves.
And then... This tough guy on the court suddenly howled. He cried out loud!
He didn't cry because he couldn't bear the pain, but felt deeply helpless and helpless about the tricks of fate. He didn't know what to say, he could only release his sadness, his helplessness, and his unwillingness into a baby's cry!
He really didn't know what to do, Jeffries knew better than anyone how important he was to Knicks, who was already a broken ship sailing in the vast sea, and it was about to reach the other side of victory, and as a result... But I was hurt!! His own injury will inevitably drag the Knicks into an even more miserable situation...... It seems that the championship that was originally at your fingertips is about to be handed over!!
Jeffries is not reconciled!!
Jeffries' cry tore the hearts of all Knicks fans, and the fans at Madison Garden were blinded before they knew it...... They didn't expect that the final script would be written like this, and that the devil would invade Madison Garden at the moment when they were about to win the championship!
The New York fans in front of the TV were even more crying, and they stayed at home. There is no need to hide your sadness, so cry bitterly!
Jeffries' departure with an injury means the Knicks are left with only three outside players. It also means that the Knicks' toughest defensive gate has been chiseled...... The already stretched personnel rotation now doesn't need to be rotated at all, as they only have three outside players...... Organizing guards, scoring guards, small forwards, just complete this fill-in-the-blank question!
Sadness instantly filled the entire Madison Garden, and in the midst of the crying, the Madison Garden no longer had its previous momentum, as if it had been cursed by God!
However, at this time.
Xiao Shi patted Jeffries on the shoulder, bit his back molars hard, and told Jeffries in the clearest voice: "Don't cry!" Now go and wait in the locker room, go and join Stephen and wait for the championship to come! ”
With that, Xiao Shi walked to the technical desk, took a microphone from the on-site commentator, and told the fans of the entire Madison Garden in the calmest and most determined voice, and told all the Knicks fans who were crying in front of the TV through the TV signal.
"Okay, get your eyes clean. I hope your tears will come out after tonight's victory, so that it will be more valuable! ”
"Nothing can change the Knicks' determination to win the championship tonight."
"Remember, I'm still here, Xiao Shi is still there!"
"Now, wipe away your tears and wave the broom for me!!"
After Xiao Sa said this, he threw the microphone aside.
His words injected some passion into Madison Garden, and the audience resounded with some cheers.
However, the gloomy atmosphere still permeates the Madison Gardens...... Yes, even New York fans feel sad tonight at the moment!! For the first time, they began to suspect the Dash, because deep down they had a feeling in their hearts that tonight's Dash was not fighting against the Lakers, but against the scheming God, and only God had the ability to leave the two Knicks' vital outside players injured in half court!!
Chic is invincible in their hearts, however, after all, it is still not as big as God!!
Jeffries was quickly taken on a stretcher by paramedics, and he left to a standing ovation, but the crowd was clearly in no mood to shout his name in unison like they did to say goodbye to Stephen Marbury...... Because the strength of Knicks fans has long been drained of uncontrollable sadness.
Drip!
Nick called a timeout, and now the Knicks still have an 11-point lead. There were 35 seconds left in the second quarter.
However, at this point... Everyone knows the Knicks can't defend Madison Garden anymore. There is already a shortage of personnel. Now it's losing two outside linemen in a row. No matter how chic it is. Nor is it God. What's more, tonight it was God who didn't want them to win. What else can the Knicks do? Can only succumb to fate!
"I never thought it would happen, and Jeffries' cry also tore my heart apart. The Knicks have created too many miracles this season, especially in the playoffs, and they have grabbed everyone's attention with their magical record. However... When they were about to sweep to win the championship, God still took their luck, or they had already overdrawn too much luck from God, and God didn't intend to let them continue to be so overdrawn. Earl Johnson really didn't know how to explain such an injury to the audience, so he had to leave it all to God.
"Even though I've been against the Knicks all along, I've always shown that I hate the Knicks and hate them. But this moment. When I look back at the miracles that the Knicks have done, I have to take off my hat for them, who made it out of the regular season without anyone fanciing them, or even when everyone laughed at them, and then swept one strong opponent after another in the playoffs with an undefeated record, and finally stood on the stage of the Finals in an incredible way. Even though we all laugh at them for having such and such shortcomings, but... Finals so far, they have won three in a row, and they may even win a fourth. But this time... The nightmare came. The injury and departure of two players in a row has drawn a break to their legendary path...... "Kenny Smith couldn't help but sing the praises of the Knicks emotionally at this time.
However, his praise seems to have come too late.
"Fate is unpredictable. At this moment, all I can do is pray for Jeffries for Stephen Marbury and pray that their injuries are not serious. LeBron James also said regretfully. The Knicks leaving the Finals in such a situation is obviously not what he wants to see.
"If the Knicks lose the Finals because of this, I have to admit that they didn't lose to the Lakers, they lost to the ......," Magic Johnson pointed to the sky.
While the Lakers supporters were feeling sorry for the Knicks, Charles Barkley was even more sad and couldn't help himself, and when Jeffries cried loudly, his tears also burst out of his eyes. He followed the Knicks through the ups and downs of the season, and he thought the Knicks would complete one of the most glorious epic saga tonight, but... God still played a bad joke...... So that all the Knicks' efforts and all the legends have to be stopped here...... Charles Barkley could even feel that God was grimacing at New York City: I won't give you this kind of thing, you can't rob it!!
Yes, God is omnipotent, but also hateful.
While the commentary seat was lamenting and regretting, Michael Jordan, who was sitting in the center, leisurely patrolled for a week, and then... There was a laugh, and his laughter was light: "Why do you look so sad? And Magic, why are you so eager to sigh for the Knicks? Have the Knicks already lost? They are still 11 points ahead!! ”
"Michael, stop making trouble!" Earl Johnson finally couldn't continue to endure the maverick of the basketball god, and he felt that the basketball god was a little too arrogant. Now that the whole world knows that the Knicks are finished, do you have anything else to say out of the ordinary?
"No, no, no, I don't mean to mess around. I'm feeling inexplicably excited right now, and I'm sure that guy is like that too. Now is the time to get the most out of the players...... When everyone thinks that the team is lost, when God is not on their side, this is the moment when the real strong prove their worth!! Michael Jordan said with great seriousness.
"Michael, you have to know that chic is not you. And, you also have times when you lose. The magician shrugged his shoulders, and he said to his old friend with some helplessness, he felt that his old friend should recognize the reality at this time.
"Yes, I did lose sometimes. But no one can deny that I have defeated God, no, I should have defeated God! I hope that Xiao Xiao can also knock God over tonight, and that's the only way... to be eligible to become the ruler of this alliance!! Michael Jordan clenched his fists and said excitedly, at this moment he had substituted himself into the chic situation: "I have a very strong hunch that tonight's chic will be successful!" ”
The more serious Michael Jordan said, the more excited he became. The Magicians, Earl Johnson, and Kenny Smith on the side shook their heads more and more. They feel that the god of basketball is really deified. There are times when he is confused and stupid!
And LeBron James is deep in thought, he is thinking... If you are chic, what will you do if you encounter such a situation?
LeBron James thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally came up with the best answer is... Maybe I'll fight it, but if there's no turnaround, I'll choose to recharge and prepare for the next game.
LeBron James is not a person who is willing to give it his all to God, he is a handsome, he knows the times!
However. Xiao Sa has never regarded himself as a handsome man, and he has understood it since he bit a hungry wolf to death with his teeth with his bare hands in single clothes... If you're not willing to push yourself into a corner, you'll never be able to get a new lease of life, or even survive.
So, the first thing Xiao did when he returned to the bench after the timeout was to gather his teammates and tell them over and over again, "Guys, we don't have a reason to lose again!" Stand up, show our strength, it's time for us to fight this damn fate!! It's like we're the enemy of the whole world in the regular season!! ”
Xiao shouted to his teammates.
However. He didn't get the reward he wanted.
In the minds of Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler, and Raymond Felton, they couldn't find a reason to win. They are already feeling their bodies starting to get tired. And more importantly, the psychology has also produced a retreat.
As their companions fell one after another beside them, when God deliberately stumbled under their feet, it was difficult for them to continue to maintain their fighting strength as hard as iron.
It's true that they were the world's enemies during the regular season, but at the time they knew in their hearts that everything was acting, everything was a game. The so-called enemy of the whole world in front of him is nothing more than acting in front of the whole world with his own bad taste, and now, it is God who raises the gun aimed at him, and as far as the eye can see, it is the muzzle of the black hole from fate.
Their fighting power has been disintegrated in the desperate cries of Jeffries!!
However, at this moment, there are still two guys standing firmly beside Xiao with clenched fists and clenched teeth: Daco Milichic and Nate Robinson.
They don't believe in fate, because fate has long played a joke on them.
They only believe in Xiao Sa, Xiao Shi is their lifelong idol, and Xiao Shi has led them to many impossible tasks. And, Xiao said that he would lead the team to sweep and win the championship.
Since he said it all, what else do you suspect?
Since he has said that there is no reason to lose, then why should he think about the thing of failure?
Since he said that he was going to fight this damn fate, then he beat his chest and rushed up, he had already seen his mother's upset!!
These two people are not stingy, they are not afraid of heaven and earth!
After the game restarted, they once again stood firmly behind Xiao Xiao, and Eddie Curry and Raymond Felton were also on the bench, and Tyson Chandler was on the bench...... The reckless man with a long beard was already in a state of collapse at this moment, and Xiao Xiao didn't want to bring a walking dead to the court, so he let him sober up on the bench.
When the game resumed, Nate Robinson came to the front court with the ball, and under the arrangement of chic, he did not launch a fast attack. Because Xiao Xiao was determined at this time, he decided to score the first goal after this timeout in the form of a positional attack, and he had to tell the world... The Knicks have not collapsed, and the will to win has always been strong!
Defending Nate Robinson was Jordan Farmar, and Phil Jackson finally put the bench full of players after seeing that the Knicks had left with injuries in two consecutive outside shots.
Nate Robinson didn't rush to break through Jordan Famar's defense, but patiently waited outside for his chance as he was instructed by the dash.
And the opportunity is ...... Milicic pulled out from the inside and made a solid off-ball cover for the Shaw, who quickly stepped back after receiving the basket, and Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant were both pulled by the Shaw at the same time, and the Shaw drilled the basketball under Gasol's crotch with a hit...... Milicic was already down, and after receiving the basketball, he quickly took three steps and rushed into the box just to get a dunk, and Mbenga rushed out to give Milicic a foul, which made this must-score goal a sight to be at the free throw line.
Milicic looked a little unhappy with the foul, and the source of his dissatisfaction was not the Mbenga foul itself, but Eddy Curry...... This guy actually sleepwalked in the penalty area, and if he pulled the defense out a little bit, then it was definitely a violent dunk without two words!
However, Eddie Curry didn't do this, he was already confused, he had no hope of victory, and he was still vigilant!!
Michael Jordan saw this ball in the live broadcast room, slapping his thighs in various ways, in his opinion, the coordination of the three of Nate Robinson and Daco Milishic was flawless, but this Eddie Curry is simply stupid!! How can you only play downwind? Is it okay to pick a child when you encounter a little setback?
He used to say that the Bulls had provided advice on Eddie Curry when he drafted him, but now he didn't dare to lead the topic to it, he felt that this matter was too embarrassing, even more embarrassing than the first-round pick Kwame Brown.
Swish! Bang!
Milicic made one of two free throws, but the rebound was picked up by Nate Robinson in the Lakers' restricted area!!
Nate Robinson is a bastard, he doesn't care how tall the Lakers' inside line is, anyway, he just wants to rush for this rebound, and he is willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse.
Back then, he dared to compete with Xiao Sa in the locker room, and today he dares to work hard for Xiao Sa!
After picking up the world-shattering rebound, he dropped back to the three-point line with the ball and controlled the tempo.
At this time, he was not in a hurry at all, and Xiao Xiao signaled that he was going to play the last 21 seconds of this ball, and they did not intend to give the Lakers one last chance before halftime.
Nate Robinson burned nearly 15 seconds from beyond the three-point line.
Then he started quickly, Jordan Farmar hurriedly chased the defense, and Xiao Shao hurriedly stepped forward to make a block for him.
Xiao blocked Jordan Farmar, Nate Robinson quickly ran to the other part of the three-point line, Kobe Bryant hurriedly pursued, Nate Robinson This guy now has the ability to shoot three-pointers, let him go... What if I get in?
Bryant chased three steps, only to see Nate Robinson suddenly jump, and as soon as he looked back at the moon, he threw the basketball towards Xiao.
Seeing that the basketball was about to be caught by Xiaoxiao, Kobe Bryant hurriedly rushed to Xiaoxiao... Xiao is a more dangerous shooter than Nate Robinson, with Jordan Farmar's defensive ability, how can he defend it? Time is running out and there is no need to worry about it so much, and defending the Knicks' final offense is more important than anything else.
So, he hurried back.
But before he could run to Xiao Sa's side, Xiao Sa had already jumped up and slapped the basketball hard, and handed it to Nate Robinson with a volleyball return pass.
When Kobe Bryant saw this scene, he immediately realized that he had been fooled, and hurriedly shouted for Odom on the other side to go over and help defend!
However, Odom was now blocked by Milicic who had been pulled up.
Thereupon... Nate Robinson took his stride...... The moment the basketball is thrown into the air, the lights are red!
Swish!
The basketball pierces the nets steadily!
Nate Robinson did not live up to Xiao Sao's high expectations!
