During the timeout, the Bulls took the lead in making lineup adjustments.

Tyson Chandler and Josh Anything were removed and replaced with Clifford Robinson and Kukoc, who can shoot and shoot more freely.

The Bulls' move is also to seek stability, mainly to use up this timeout, and there are no more timeouts in the future.

At this point, it was 103-103, with 13 seconds left on the game and the Bulls were in possession.

Normally, the Lakers are unlikely to take the initiative to foul, and if the Bulls hit both free throws after being fouled, the Lakers can only bet on a three-point shootout or play a two-point overtime.

And the lore ball or the draw ball is the most difficult to play in the game, as strong as Kobe Bryant, who only has a shooting rate of about 30%.

Kobe Bryant was already sweating profusely tonight, and he was out of breath.

The Lakers dared to foul first, and then gain the initiative to kill, and take the ball to execute the killer blow themselves, which is undoubtedly very bold.

To put it bluntly, once the lore fails, the star who executes the lore is actually fine, the big deal is to do their best.

However, the head coach who made the foul tactical decision and took the initiative to send the opponent a free throw to kill will definitely have to take the blame after the game.

The current head coach of the Lakers is Frank Humberland, the head assistant coach of Lakers head coach Tang Shuai last season.

Because Tang Shuai's physical condition was not very good, he temporarily took the position and got a golden opportunity to serve as the head coach of the giant team - Los Angeles Lakers.

Although at the beginning of his position, he had his own mission. But Frank Humberland certainly doesn't want to lose his job as head coach of an NBA team as a last resort.

However, there are some things that have to be guarded against.

At the moment, the Lakers are Kobe Bryant's team, and sometimes Kobe's voice is louder than the head coach.

If Kobe Bryant is paranoid and wants to seize the initiative, that is, he wants to kill the Bulls by himself, then the Bulls also have to guard against whether the Lakers will continue to use foul tactics.

The Bulls' goal is simply to win tonight's game and tie the 18-game winning streak set by the 96 Bulls.

The Bulls don't need to play hero ball, they don't need Doon to step up and make sure they can score points, they just need to hit free throws steadily, even if it's just one point.

It was for this reason that Scott Skels sent all the players who could make free throws on the field.

"If you really don't have a chance, pass the ball to Doon!"

After adjusting the lineup, Scott Skels, as the team's head coach, still drew three offensive tactics.

The first was a feint from Doon, and Roel Deng slipped to the basket for an aerial relay.

The second is for Doon to play a block with Byron Davis, attract the defense and let Byron Davis burst to the basket or his main teammates to complete the offense under the basket.

The third tactic is still that Doon is still the bait, and the other players break through the score, and the style of play is still to burst into the basket, rather than risking the three-point feel.

There are only three tactics that can't be played, and it is Doon who takes the ball alone.

It doesn't matter if Doon is mid-range, three-pointer, or low-post single.

"Camon, let's stay focused and win tonight!"

Doon stepped up and yelled.

With 13 seconds left in the game, even if the Lakers use one last timeout, the game will be over in a few minutes.

Since the whole game has been played like this, the Bulls players are not unable to hold on for a while.

As the timeout ended, the Bulls players returned to the court.

Kukoc walked over to the referee to get the ball out of the referee's hand and settle the long-standing problem with the sideline serve.

Because of his height, Kukoc's passing vision is better than that of most players on the field.

Coupled with his good passing ability, he is undoubtedly the best choice for the Bulls to complete the aerial relay with Roel Deng and quickly score two points.

But after Kukoc got the referee's basketball outside the right sideline, he concentrated at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and the Bulls players lined up along the three-point line moved quickly.

As a bait, Doon quickly moved along the three-point line to the right, while Roel Deng slipped in the opposite direction from the bottom corner to the bottom of the basket.

Meanwhile, Byron Davis followed Doane from the top of the arc to the middle and cut to the basket, while Clifford Robinson stood in place and made a space point.

It is also because the bull scattered in an instant in the form of starburst tactics.

The players on the Lakers' side couldn't figure out the situation all of a sudden, and they could only run around like a headless fly, following the people on the Bulls' side.

Naturally, it was Kobe Bryant who was chasing Doane, and the Lakers didn't send anyone else to wrap it up.

Kukic saw that Roel Deng under the basket and Byron Davis at the free throw line did not run out of space, and the Lakers' defensive formation on the court had been chopped up, so he immediately passed the ball to Dwan, who was rushing in.

Immediately afterward, Kukoc pretended to cut to the basket to attract Odom's attention.

In fact, Kukoc didn't notice him when he saw Kobe Bryant, who was chasing Doon, staring at Doon with his eyes, so he immediately stepped forward to cover Doon.

Odom, who was defending Kukoc, seemed to be a little distracted, seeing that Kukoc suddenly changed the direction of his run, he didn't expect to change the defense of Doon, but followed behind Kukoc like a puppet.

After Doon bypassed Kukoc and Kukoc blocked Kobe, Odom saw Doon speeding quickly, and then he thought of moving in front of Doon, delaying Doon to burst to the basket.

"Fouls, fouls, fouls!"

Bryant noticed that Kukoc was suddenly in front of him, and Odom was two positions away from Doon, so he immediately shouted at Odom to make him foul Doon.

However, Odom was noticeably slow to react, and Doon took advantage of the acceleration to quickly rush to the basket.

Odom didn't follow Doon's footsteps, reaching for Doon and failing to touch Doon's jersey.

Eddie Jones and Devin George under the basket wanted to foul Doane, but found that Doon came too quickly and had stepped into the box.

In order to prevent sending Dunn 2+1, the two of them could only take the initiative to get out of the way and watch Dunn fly violently!

"What a monster! Can this still take off? ”

"I never questioned Doon's athleticism, but I couldn't believe that Doon could run so fast and jump so high towards the end of the race. It's incredible! ”

"Lore, quasi-lore! Doon killed the game with a dunk! ”

“MVP，MVP，MVP！”

"Doon, Doon, Doon!"

"Passing the ball to Doon was the best decision!"

Whether it was Bulls fans, media reporters, or Lakers players at the scene, they all showed shocked and surprised looks when they saw Doon's violent dunk.

Naturally, the Bulls fans were very happy, and many people stood up directly from their seats and shouted "MVP" and "Doon".

Although there are 10.6 seconds left in the game time, the Lakers still have the ball and a chance to kill the game, but it is undoubtedly very difficult for the Lakers to rely on three-point shots to kill the game in one fell swoop.

Besides, Dwan's shocking dunk not only boosted the morale of the Bulls, but also severely damaged the Lakers' belief in winning.

Perhaps, at this time, many Lakers players thought in their hearts - Doon is so strong, do we still have a chance to win?

"Kobe, we're going to trust you next, we're going to get the ball to you."

For the last chance to kill, Frank Humberland also called a timeout, and then laid out a relatively simple tactic to give the ball to Kobe.

In fact, as a manager with no prestige and fear of taking the blame, Frank Humberland had to do the same.

In case Kobe Bryant was used as a guise and the other players executed the tactics and failed to score the ball.

When the time comes, Frank Humberland, as the head coach, will have to carry the cauldron and become the target of criticism from fans?

Next, the only way to hand the ball to Kobe Bryant and Kobe threw it in, that is, Kobe is awesome, and the coach is also awesome.

If Kobe Bryant can't shoot, then the post-game interview will praise Doon for a few words, expressing something similar to whether it is not that we don't work hard, but the enemy has the attitude of Gundam, and it will almost be fooled.

All in all, Frank Humberland's quest for stability is basically invincible.

And Kobe Bryant is also very satisfied with Frank Humberland's arrangement.

"I'm going to be myself, I'm going to shoot the damn basketball to the basket!"

Bryant confidently gave his teammates the promise to win.

But when they got back on the court, the Bulls changed their lineup again, and now it was Doon, Roel Deng, Dio, Josh Smith, and Tyson Chandler who remained on the court.

The Bulls' defense at every point is not weak, as long as they defend the three-point shot well, they will be tied at most and will not be killed.

Of course, there is still a need to pay attention to fouls.

As long as you don't give a three-point foul, or a two-plus-one opportunity, it's just two free throws, and it's not that big of a problem.

However, the Bulls have already won and will not take the initiative to gamble their luck with foul tactics.

The next round is about defense, and it's best to prevent a mistake from the Lakers, or a failure to make a shot.

Doon saw Kobe Bryant go directly to catch the ball, so he immediately followed.

The Bulls' defensive strategy is man-to-man, and Doon only needs to limit Kobe's shots, and the task is done.

After Kobe Bryant got the ball, he didn't break through immediately, but passed the ball back to Odom, and then continued to hold the ball with his back to the high position.

Obviously, Kobe Bryant is not in a hurry to make a move, but it is a bit of a time press.

Seeing Kobe Bryant's resolute eyes, Doon felt it - it is to kill you with a three-point shot here at the last second!

After all, Doon's size is one size bigger than Kobe, and Kobe still feels the pressure of Doon's defense.

In order to avoid not being able to shoot at the last second, Bryant turned his back to the frame when he had four or five seconds left, and then made a tentative move with three threats.

Just when Doon thought that Kobe Bryant was going to test it, Kobe suddenly crossed and burst to the left.

"Two points to tie in overtime?" Dwan's heart tightened, and he immediately moved sideways to follow.

I didn't want Kobe Bryant to stop and pull back, so he immediately shot back with three points.

Doon reacted and jumped to block, but missed the ball and the ball flew over his fingertips.

Then exposed Kobe's confident and resolute face in front of Doon's eyes.

"Finished?" Doon looked back in horror.

Fortunately, it was followed by Duang's voice.

It's both unexpected and reasonable!

The three-point shot was not Kobe's most sure skill, not to mention that this time Kobe took the initiative to increase the difficulty, and he also added a backlash after the emergency stop.

In addition to this, Bryant's physical strength is also an issue.

The basketball slammed into the front of the basket and jumped straight to the outside.

Seeing this, Doon immediately rushed forward to grab the rebound, but unexpectedly, Odom completed the redemption, grabbed the rebound, and immediately passed it to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant jumped out without saying a word after receiving the ball!

Doon pounced back on the perimeter, a noticeably slower step.

When Doon hurriedly looked back, he saw that the timer above the basket had gone to zero.

Just when Doon was rejoicing, the basketball hollowed into the net.

Three-pointer, finally in!

"Oh yes!" Except for a burst of exclamation from the Lakers' bench, the rest of the United Center was quieter, like a library.

However, Kobe, who was still on the court at this time and personally hit the three-pointer to the basket, did not immediately celebrate.

Instead, he looked up worriedly and looked at the display in the dome.

Kobe Bryant's own ball, naturally knows better than anyone how urgent the situation was when he received the ball just now!

Kobe Bryant obviously noticed that when he received the ball, there was not much time left in the game, and it seemed to be only a few tenths of a second.

"Does Lore Work?"

At this time, Kobe Bryant was not sure whether this goal was a time-out kill.

In this case, you can only watch the replay and see how the referee decides.

"The lore is running out!"

"Timeout, timeout, timeout!"

I saw Kobe's lore shot replay, and the last 0.1 seconds had been used up when he took off.

Bryant's shot was already short, but only after the game time was zero, he raised the ball above his head and threw it.

"Kobe, you're scared me to death!

I didn't think you'd get a second chance to shoot the ball!

I didn't expect you to really be able to throw in! ”

After watching the replay of the timeout of the lore, Doon was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and then changed his mood and came to Kobe Bryant happily.

"Well, it's just a little bit more, if it had been 0.2 seconds longer, maybe I would have won.

It's really infuriating! I was actually killed by your kid!

But I can't blame anyone else, I didn't make the first three-point shot, it was my problem.

My team-mates have given me a chance at redemption and again I wasn't fast enough and the responsibility for losing tonight is on me. ”

Kobe Bryant is naturally unwilling to lose, but as the boss of the team, he still has the responsibility he should have.

Kobe Bryant blamed himself for not being strong enough, and he was a little sulking with himself at this time.

Seeing this, Doon instead dismissed Kobe Bryant and said: "We are the No. 1 team in the league now, and there is no shame in losing to us."

You've done enough, you're the only team this season that can force us to play the final goal!

And, you almost killed the game. I know you have the ability, but you don't get some details right.

If there's a chance to meet this season, it should be in the finals, right?

We're the most competitive team in the East, and you're going to be the one in the West, aren't you? ”

"That's right, see you in the finals!"

Bryant reached out and hammered Doon on the chest, then smiled with relief.

Before leaving, Kobe Bryant hugged Doon, and Doon didn't resist it, but slapped Kobe's buttocks.

As the saying goes, the brothers who have survived the catastrophe are here, and they meet with a smile and a grudge.

This season, the two regular season games between the Bulls and the Lakers have been completely completed, and the next two teams will start a new journey for their respective championship goals.

Doon and Kobe Bryant have no big grudges, and it has been almost a year and a half since Doon was traded by the Lakers.

O'Neal already has an extra ring, so what's the point of Doon and Kobe Bryant continuing to fight?

Not long after, a fat man on the south coast saw this scene on the TV, but chose to change the channel immediately......
