Chapter 84 The decisive moment

The 24-second attack time has been destroyed by Anderson's two consecutive divine blocks, leaving less than two seconds of attack time. Terry's shot in the "zero space" finally failed to hit, and the Lakers held on for 4 seconds.

points lead.

The Lakers' offense came again. Kobe held the ball from the outside. The game had entered the final decisive stage. His speed was still so fast, his eyes were still sharp, and his face was still filled with persistence.

A large arc of forward body change shook Howard away, and avoided Nowitzki who was flying to block the shot. Kobe jumped up diagonally. Even so, his upper body still maintained a very standard shooting posture.
The wrist shook, and the basketball flew out obediently.

Standing on the same spot, Kobe still maintained his shooting posture, with his right hand raised high, and the index finger that finally said goodbye to the basketball was raised at the highest point.

Kobe slowly picked up his toes, and when he saw the basketball falling into the net with his own eyes, he finally dropped it back, yelled, and ran towards his own half court. (113:119)

In 2 minutes, there is a 6-point gap. As long as the Lakers don’t make mistakes, they will basically win the game!

This will be the first time the Lakers under Key Yan have defeated the league's top team! Ke Yan clenched his hands tightly and vaguely felt that his nails were embedded in his palms.

In the next round, the Mavericks' offense was successful. Nowitzki occupied the Lakers' defensive center inside, attracting the attention of Butler and Barnes, and then suddenly passed out again. The Lakers suppressed him throughout the game.

Howard, who was underperforming, finally stepped up and hit a three-pointer! (116:119)

Three points!

There seemed to be gold stars flashing in front of Ke Yan's eyes. At such a critical moment, the Mavericks scored a three-pointer, and it was Howard who was not good at three-pointers.

This made him quite frustrated!

"It doesn't matter, hit them back!" Ke Yan fell into a trance, and Monty Williams stood up next to him and shouted to the players on the court.

"That's right, we are still in the lead!" Ke Yan glanced at Monty Williams gratefully and got out of his emotions in time.

As a head coach, you must not be messy at this time! If you are messy, the entire team will be confused!

When Kobe got the ball at halftime, Howard and Terry stood diagonally in front of him like two horns, with one man slightly forward in defense and one man slightly behind in defense. The Mavericks directly chose to double-team Kobe.

Kobe did not mess around and passed the ball to Odom. As soon as the ball arrived, Nowitzki appeared in front of Odom and stuck closely to Odom.

Continuing to move, Barnes caught the ball, exhaled as usual, and turned around, but no one came forward to press him. Terry gave up a full step, betting that Barnes wouldn't be able to make a shot from this position.
In the blink of an eye, Barnes didn't take a shot. When he tried to take a shot again, the rhythm of his shooting was already messed up. This time he was even more panicked.

Kobe ran from the other side, with Howard chasing closely behind him.

Barnes made a smart sideways stance, and while hand-to-hand with Kobe, he slightly blocked Howard. Kobe took the ball, had no time to think, got up and shot with open hands.

"Bang!" The basketball bounced high and was immediately caught by Dampier, who had already prepared it.

The Lakers returned to defense immediately, but the Mavericks did not force a fast break, but slowly pushed forward to play positional battles.

Nowitzki directly pulled the ball outside the three-point line and directed his teammates to move.

Dampier's sideways pick-and-roll stuck Kobe to his side. Terry used Dampier's off-ball pick-and-roll to get rid of Kobe. Less than one meter in front of the free throw line, he stood up, caught the ball, and bent over.

, then spread out the body and jump up.

"Pa!"

It's Anderson again! When Dampier blocked the pursuing Terry, Anderson immediately chose to bypass Dampier and pursue Terry. When he rushed out of the inside and accelerated towards Terry, he had already seen

Terry jumped up and the ball was already released.

The name may be wrong, but the nickname is not. At this moment, Anderson really flew up, and his fingertips touched the basketball at a high point!

Anderson staggered to the ground, did not stop, and took off a second time. He grabbed the basketball before Terry. The ball was passed from his hands and flew towards Butler, who had already rushed to the frontcourt from the other side.

Stretching out his ape arm and catching the warmth of Anderson's palm, Butler shook off everyone, took three big steps, buckled with one hand, pointed at Anderson and let out a roar! (116:121)

There were 47 seconds left in the game, and the situation was very unfavorable for the Mavericks! The team had to score two offenses and defend against the Lakers' offense. The pressure was considerable, so Avery Johnson called a timeout and rearranged the game tactics.

Butler roared loudly, and Anderson rushed over excitedly, hugged him in his arms, and laughed loudly: "Caron! Nice dunk!"

Butler panted and turned to look at Anderson's smiling face, and hugged Anderson tightly with his backhand.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to make adjustments, Ke Yan replaced Atkins and removed Barnes to rebalance the team's lineup.

The Mavericks also made personnel adjustments, replacing Stackhouse with Devin Harris.

In fact, when the Lakers fielded a big lineup, Johnson should have used Harris, who is more mobile and has better penetration, to deal with it, instead of using Stackhouse. Now Harris comes on the stage to face Art.

Kings, the role is not that prominent.

With a five-point lead, the Lakers' defense focused on delays and expanded very hard, determined not to give the Mavericks a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Harris cut through the Lakers' defense like a blade and scored a layup (118

:121), there are 34 seconds left.

The Lakers served from the bottom line, and the entire Mavericks team pressed the Lakers half court, and even someone waved their arms in front of Odom to interfere.

At this time, Atkins, with Ke Yan's instructions, became the key for the Lakers to break the Mavericks' full-court press. He first dived into the crowd, desperately went around the screen to shake off Harris behind him, and then ran for

Mavericks backcourt. Odom noticed the gap in the Mavericks defense and threw the ball towards the Mavericks backcourt.

Harris rushed out of the crowd in time, jumped high, touched the basketball with his finger, but couldn't control it, and then used his fingertips to destroy the ball out of the sideline.

Advancing from the bottom line to the sideline is a strategic success, but the vision and difficulty are completely different. Serving the sideline ball is a global problem for Zhou Qi, and the Lakers do not have this worry.

Odom served, and other players lined up at the free throw line. Atkins stood first, Butler stood second, Kobe stood third, and Anderson stood fourth.

When the referee's whistle blows, Atkins runs to Odom as the first receiving point, Butler runs to the weak side corner, the farthest but most easily overlooked point, and Kobe runs to the midline.

Containing the most defensive focus of the Mavericks, Anderson drives to the basket. If the basket is empty, he can directly attack the frame!

After a push and a pick-and-roll without the ball, the Mavericks' basket was misaligned. Anderson, who inserted himself into the basket, faced Josh Howard. At this time, if he lobbed directly under the basket, he would have a good chance of completing an alley-oop.

However, Odom was still conservative and handed the ball to Kobe who was flanked by Nowitzki and Terry. Kobe dribbled the ball twice, took two steps back, jumped and passed the ball to

Odom, the Lakers formed a four-on-three zone, and the situation suddenly became clear. Nowitzki returned to his position immediately, and Odom did not rush to attack. He dribbled around to control the time and handed the ball to Kobe for the final step.

attack.

Kobe stepped down and dribbled the ball and slowly approached Howard, maintaining the most peaceful posture, but Howard in front of him knew that behind this tranquility was about to be an attack as fast as lightning.

Just as Josh Howard thought, Kobe's left shoulder sank back, and then his right shoulder leaned forward sharply. Then his left hand holding the ball moved diagonally to the right with the ball, and his left foot also stepped out at the same time.
Howard's body retreated sharply, and his steps changed accordingly, taking a step forward.

Kobe's forward leaning posture suddenly stopped, and the ball that was about to be shot was tightly grasped by his left hand. He moved his right foot outward, and stepped back with his left foot at the same time.<

/p>

He arched his body and straightened up, holding the ball firmly with his right hand. Then he stood up with his bent feet and jumped slightly. A very elegant shooting posture was displayed in the eyes of Howard who was shocked.<

/p>

Unable to reach out to block the shot, Howard shouted and watched Kobe throw the ball.

"Shua!"

Is there any sound in the world more beautiful than this?
