74, the alternative end of the Battle of Chocó

Smith was a little torn in his mind, and he had a hard time choosing between $500 and Wu Di's position of more than 15 points.

He wanted Wu Di to do well, but he desperately didn't want to see Barkley win the gamble.

For the first time, Smith felt that $500 had such a heavy value in his life, and it was all because of the Chinese boy, because of him, Smith had been quietly competing with Barkley.

Staples Arena, right in the middle of the field.

Wu Di bent down slightly, and sweat was pouring on his forehead.

"Hey, rookie, you seem to have some trouble, your fitness just doesn't make you a good pitcher." Kobe Bryant was a little surprised, in his impression, shooters like Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton who are good at running, catching and shooting, are simply physically energetic to the point of shocking.

But the rookie in front of him seems to have some signs of dehydration.

Wu Di was silent, he suddenly felt that this was the first time in his life that he didn't have the strength to talk nonsense with his opponent.

He didn't want to open his mouth, he was a little tired.

And at this moment, the basketball flew over at Kobe's beckoning.

Worst!

Jordan frowned slightly, he saw the situation on the court, Wu Di's signs were very bad, and he immediately wanted to play after resting for a long time.

At this time, it was a very crucial period at the end of the fourth quarter, and the score of the two sides was 106; 109, the point difference is only 3 points, and once Wu Di's defense has problems, then the score will definitely be pulled away, and at that time, the Wizards will be annoyed.

"Doug."

Jordan's mouth moved, as if he wanted to replace Wu Di.

But Doug Collins shook his hand, and he was looking at the field with a serious face.

Jordan sat to the side for the time being, and he looked at Tyronn Lue, who was also listless sitting on the side. These two guys must have gone out of the way to fool around, otherwise they wouldn't be out of shape like this.

But as an NBA player, it's all too commonplace, and Jordan can't say anything.

On the court, Bryant singled again.

Wu Di frowned slightly, he tried his best to concentrate, but his legs, which seemed to be filled with lead, made him feel a little weak.

Wow~

In a flash, Kobe turned his back and threw Wu Di away.

Wu Di saw that Kobe Bryant was about to break through successfully, so he opened his hand to stop it, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Helplessly, he turned his head to look.

Bryant had already jumped high, and in front of him was the sudden appearance of Kwame Brown.

Witnesses, including Wu Di, thought that Kobe would choose to pass the ball to O'Neal, but he made a very difficult pull-up layup in the air.

However, Kwame Brown is no longer a parallel commodity some time ago, and his interference makes Kobe's layup extremely difficult.

The basketball spun around the hoop and fell violently.

Under the basket.

O'Neill bit his tongue slightly, and he struggled to push away Brandon Haywood in front of him.

The arm was suddenly raised, and in O'Neill's mind, the picture of the mending buckle had flashed.

Obviously, for him, even if Kobe Bryant doesn't pass the ball, he can find an easy opportunity to score.

"Mine!"

A low roar was heard, followed by a large hand that appeared above his head.

O'Neal reflexively reached out quickly, trying to get in front of him to get the basketball in his hand.

However, his movements still seem to be a little slow.

Wow~

There was an exclamation from the sidelines.

The DJ at the scene shouted helplessly: "Wu Di protected the rebound." ”

This time rushing to grab the rebound, Wu Di felt that he had exhausted his strength.

Still, the desire to win made him grit his teeth and persevere.

Ignoring the shark's cannibalistic gaze.

Throwing the ball to Arenas, Wu Di jogged forward and ran forward.

Arenas frowned, and he stared at Wu Di before dribbling to follow.

"You seem to be in trouble?"

Arenas rushed behind Wu Di, and he couldn't help but ask.

In this game, although Wu Di's basket was inaccurate, their chance to win was still there.

However, what worries Arenas is that athletes are most vulnerable to injury when they are physically exhausted, so considering the upcoming playoffs, Arenas clearly wants Wu Di to go down and rest.

However, Wu Di obviously did not mean to answer, and Arenas stopped talking.

"Don't give them shots, press the defense, watch the rotation." Phil Jackson let out a low cry.

Bryant was just one step away from Wu Di, and as he moved, the rest of the Lakers' players began to change significantly.

It was a crucial attack, and the atmosphere on the pitch was clearly starting to get tense.

Smith's eyes burned, and he kept saying, "What is Doug doing?" The ball should be called a timeout, it would be safer. ”

However, the referee's whistle did not blow.

Clearly, the race is at a fork in the road.

Everyone watched seriously, and this battle of Choko didn't seem to have the scene they wanted to see.

A rookie stands on the opposite side of Kobe Bryant most of the time, which many people don't expect.

And for this Chinese rookie, they don't have much favor, the last time the Lakers lost to the Wizards was due to the rookie's 20+, so they hope that today's game will not be that result.

Arenas attacked with the ball and Fisher kept pestering him.

It has to be said that Fisher's defense is very aggressive, and he stalked Arenas to the death.

But Arenas dribbled in succession, and after a few face-to-face shots, he finally got rid of Fisher.

Wu Di was naturally watching all this on the field, and he felt that Arenas would definitely pass the ball.

Because, in the Lakers' restricted area, there is a ferocious shark.

Jerry Starker House was on the baseline, and Arenas' pass was the first to come into his hands.

At this moment, Wu Di suddenly moved.

Bryant was caught up in some attention by Arenas' pass, and his expression tightened slightly when he saw that it was Starkerhouse who received the ball, and in his opinion, Stackhouse was more threatening than Wudi.

But after a brief distraction, Bryant rushed to find Wu Di because he saw that Starkerhouse did not choose to shoot, but to pass.

Damn it.

Kobe Bryant's intention to catch up with Wu Di was out of the question, as Arenas had blocked his way.

Seeing Wu Di jumping into the air after receiving the ball, Kobe Bryant's heart tightened.

Definitely won't go in. Bryant thought.

Wu Di's shooting in this game was too poor, which made him feel a little relieved.

But Wu Di's resolute demeanor in the whole process of receiving the ball and shooting suddenly made Kobe Bryant worried.

"Brush~"

Where the basketball landed, there was a white wave.

Lakers fans let out a burst of unwilling boos.

Watching the shot hit, Wu Di dropped his hand heavily.

This jumper made him feel like he had used up his last bit of strength.

The main reason why he knows that Stackhouse will pass the ball is that, after nearly a season of getting along, he knows that Stackhouse is not good at shooting at that position.

The three-point goal and the score of 109 draws seemed to tell Wu Di that the game was not over yet.

However, Doug Collins called a timeout after the team got the rotation and he replaced Wu Di with Jordan.

Jordan's desire to attack in this game was not strong, but after coming on the court at this time, he made frequent shots, coupled with his sudden hot state. Jordan actually scored 8 points in a row in the last moment, and he magically scored 11 of the Wizards' last 15 points.

When the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 124:120, and the Wizards reversed to win against the Lakers, and finally achieved a season double against the Lakers.

With a scoring performance in the last moments, Jordan was 12-of-27, and with as many as 11 free throws, the old gang leader scored 37 points in the last game of Jocco's battle.

So history was frozen, and on March 28, 2003, the Wizards challenged the Lakers away, which was the last time Jordan and Kobe Bryant met each other. Jordan scored 37 points, while Kobe Bryant scored 44.

At first impression, many people will think that this is a-for-tat battle, but in fact, it is not, and the time for two people to face each other is really pitiful.

And what has really been opposing Kobe Bryant is Wu Di, who scored 13 points in 5 of 16 in the game.

……

At the post-match press conference, a reporter was interviewing Wu Di.

"When you shoot 1 out of 10, what gives you the courage to keep throwing? What was going on in your mind at the time? ”

Wu Di only smiled at this.

"I was thinking, is there anything worse than 1 out of 10? I don't think so, so keep throwing and then I'll have a chance to get out of a bad situation. ”

Elsewhere, in TNT's live broadcast room, Barkley sat to the side with a depressed face, watching Kenny Smith stuff a wad of green bills into his wallet with a rather resentful look.

At the same time, Kenny Smith did not forget to say, "God willing, this little guy always brings me good luck, and his terrible performance can bring me $2,000." ”

The more Smith said that, the more depressed Barkley became.

It's just too wicked.

Barkley was indignant.
