The most thrilling thing about the basketball game is the last 5 minutes, every goal will make the fans cheer, and every mistake will make the fans feel sad. This effect is especially magnified in a game like the playoffs, where every game determines the fate of the team.

In the fan base of the white ocean in the center of the target, many people stood up, applauded, whistled, and when the referee blew the sideline serve, the whole audience resounded with a huge "defense" cheer.

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

The Timberwolves didn't know what the Lakers said during the timeout, but the Lakers who came back from the timeout began to control the game with Kobe Bryant, and Fisher gave the ball to Kobe Bryant at the top of the arc just after halftime.

The Lakers all pulled away, and Odom, Fisher, Ariza and Gasol stood in their respective positions on the court, and then turned to look at Kobe Bryant, who was in possession of the ball.

"What kind of tactics are yours?" Zheng Ke stood next to Odom and couldn't help but complain.

"You know a yarn." Odom sneered.

At the most critical moment of the game, the two of them chattered and spewed trash talk on the sidelines.

Bryant singled out Afflalo with the ball, and the other Timberwolves players had no intention of coming over to wrap up. He knew that it was not that he would not be trapped, but that he would not act until he broke through.

He observed the big picture on the field, Odom and Zheng Ke were 3 meters away on his left side, Gasol and Lefu were near the baseline, Ariza and Miller were in the bottom left corner, and the only thing that could threaten him was Billups on the weak side, and he secretly had a countermeasure in his mind.

He started doing simple crotch dribbles. The left wrist shook and the basketball moved several times in succession on the ground, just when Afflaro couldn't see Zheng Ke's movements. He changed hands sharply in front of him. The basketball was switched to the right hand, and then the right foot stepped out like lightning, and the body was like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, he was on the same level as Afflalo.

"!"

Avlalo was shocked, twisted his body, and took a step back with his left foot, trying to keep up with Bryant's body. At the same time, Billups and Zheng Ke on the weak side also contracted the defense for the first time. Prepare for the bag clip Kobe.

Bryant slammed his body and withdrew his right hand from his crotch to his left hand. At the same time, he retracted his right foot and stood still, showing his terrifying body control!

Aflaro stumbled and nearly fell over. He barely managed to control his form. But he was no longer able to make defensive moves.

Kobe Bryant made an easy mid-to-long-range jumper.

"Huh!"

91-91 draw.

The audience subconsciously exclaimed. When Afraro heard this, his face turned red, and he glared viciously at the back of No. 24 in the distance, and his heart was full of unhappiness.

"It's okay, Aaron." Zheng Ke walked past Aflaro, patted him with his hand, and said with a smile: "No matter how cunning a hunter is, he will miss." ”

"I'm fine." Afralo nodded, his face looking much better. followed Zheng Ke to the frontcourt.

As written in the script, the Lakers scored a three-pointer. The Timberwolves returned one two plus one; The Lakers missed the shot, and the Timberwolves made offensive errors. The fans with big hearts were enjoying watching it, and the fans with small hearts couldn't stand it, and even there were fans at the scene who closed their eyes and prayed, and then couldn't stand the cheers around them, and secretly opened their eyes to look at the score on the main screen above their heads, and screamed twice from time to time.

The physical collision of players on the court is becoming more and more frequent, and the referee does not dare to blow the whistle too much at this time, generally at this critical time, the NBA referees like to hand over the game to the players themselves, and they like to choose silence for some decisions that can be blown or not.

In the fourth quarter, Zheng Ke grabbed 5 more rebounds, and so far, he has scored 20 rebounds, becoming the first player to rebound 20 so far in the playoffs.

It also gave the Timberwolves a narrow lead of 103-101 in the final minute, leading by two points.

The Lakers still chose Kobe Bryant to control the ball. In a way, Zen Master is a very different kind of coach, he believes that superstars can play a huge role in the game, and he prefers to hand over the ball to stars like Kobe Bryant when it matters most, rather than other NBA coaches, arranging a tactic or choosing a more secure offensive approach. It's like handing it over to Jordan back then to settle the battle.

"But this kind of inaction will not work!"

Zheng Ke's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his steps moved, slightly away from Odom's side, he believed that Kobe Bryant would not pass the ball at this time.

Zheng Ke's movements were obvious, and Kobe Bryant saw it at a glance, but his face remained unchanged.

Afflalo pressed harder, and the lad did everything he could, sticking it Kobe Bryant, while making small movements where the referee couldn't see.

Bryant frowned, and he dribbled and took a diagonal step, looking like he was about to break through, forcing Afflalo to take a small step back. Then he dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, handed the ball back to his left hand, and then rose from the ground and chose a dry pull-up jumper!

With more than forty seconds left in the game, when the Lakers were two points behind, Bryant opted for a pull-up jumper from outside the three-point line!

Afflaro was so angry that he hurriedly pounced.

Bryant's eyes lit up, his arm shook, and he rubbed Afflalo's hand, and then his body twisted as if he had been hit, and he fell to the ground.

"Toot ~"

The referee subconsciously blew the whistle, and then immediately after, he made a mistake himself. Many NBA referees have this bad habit of "blowing the whistle when someone falls", and they didn't react until they finished blowing, so they had to make the "Timberwolves No. 4 hitman foul gesture, and the Lakers made 3 free throws on the 24th." ”

Suddenly, the audience at the scene didn't buy it, and the boos were mixed with the scolding of the referee's immediate family, and the referee was overwhelmingly pressurized.

The three referees got together in a heap, walked to the technical table, put on their headphones, and began to look at the replay footage.

Avrallo crossed his hands on his hips, his face full of helplessness.

In the end, the referee still determined that Afflaro had fouled the fighter, and they thought "how can you shoot a three-stick at Kobe's level"?

Bryant made three free throws.

"Boom, boom, boom!" He ignored the Timberwolves fans who interfered with him not far in front of him, and steadily won these three points, and the Lakers were 104-103 ahead by one point!

Whitman called a timeout, and at this critical moment, some tactics must be arranged.

"Give it to Zheng, guys, give the ball to Zheng." Whitman still follows the usual tactics at times like this: "We need to make the best cover for him. Everybody runs, you know, once a double or a three-man doesn't have the ball to catch Zheng, we give the ball to Chauncey, and the Lakers only have one Pau Gasol on the inside, and we play inside. There is no absolute vacancy, don't wave outside the third line, you know? ”

Miller served on the sideline of the Timberwolves' half, Zheng ran out from the baseline, and Love and Billups covered him as a wall cover. He was able to shake off the massive Odom and get the basketball with ease.

The Lakers' last failed package policy was criticized by all the media, and it felt that once Zheng Ke was in a low position, the Lakers had no way at all, just like Aldridge beat the Rockets in the later generations, it was just a strong point, but it was difficult to contain.

Ariza doesn't defend badly, but he can't guard Zheng Ke, which is what the Lakers are most annoyed about.

Just like now, Zheng Ke is standing outside the three-point line, and the Lakers can only choose to wrap up, and Odom and Ariza have two long arms stretched out to block Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke did not hesitate at all, saw the opportunity, and distributed the ball to Lefu with a covert ground pass.

Lefu didn't attack the ball, Zheng Ke bypassed the two guys, took the basketball from Lefu, and broke through with the momentum, Gasol immediately blocked Zheng Ke with great experience.

"Bang!"

Zheng Ke couldn't hold back, and the two collided together.

His speed hadn't been mentioned yet, and the impact was mediocre, Gasol used his mortal body to block Zheng Ke's breakthrough alive, and Odom and Ariza then arrived, and the five tallest people on the field were huddled together in the area.

"Oops!" Whitman shouted that it was not good, and Zheng Ke was blocked at the sideline.

"This way!" It's still Miller, he is now unguarded, and with the Lakers' interior space, he simply cut directly to the Lakers' interior, and at the same time raised his two arms to signal Zheng Ke to pass the ball.

Zheng Ke made a quick decision, chose an unexpected Lakers player, chose the taboo of NBA player passing, jumped and passed!

He jumped into the air with a bounce and raised the basketball with one hand and threw it inside.

Bryant brushed aside Afraro and rushed towards Miller.

The ball was so fast that Miller almost didn't catch it, and when Kobe Bryant came over, he had no chance to shoot, and a hit to the ground was given to Afflalo, who was following Kobe.

"Bang!"

Afflaro jumped with both hands and scored two points.

105 to 104.

The Timberwolves once again led by one point, with 21 seconds left on the clock, and Jackson made a timeout gesture to request a timeout on behalf of the Lakers.

Whitman jumped happily like a child, just now he almost couldn't help but shout a timeout, but he didn't expect Zheng Ke to jump up and pass, which is the most taboo thing in NBA passing, and there was no mistake, which scared him.

Coming back, a group of people surrounded Afflaro back to the bench, Zheng Ke stretched out his big hand to touch Afflaro's head, and cheered him loudly: "I knew you could!" (To be continued......)
