Guard With a Knife

"Listen, rookie. If you want to be a real superstar. The most important thing is, never pass the basketball to anyone in the countdown, even if that person is your dad."

Kobe Bryant made this point again to Doug before he went on the court.

Fifteen seconds later, when he broke into the free throw line, he was double-teamed by the Knicks...Dug, David Lee, and Jeffries joined up and surrounded him frantically.

This is the only tactical arrangement Doug made during the timeout. He told everyone that they can surround and double-team as long as they have the opportunity, and he will definitely not pass the ball.

As Doug expected, the Black Mamba did not pass the ball.

Maybe it's because of personality.

Maybe it's because I don't want to 'accept a thief as my father'.

So, he forced the shot, which is his routine: For him, a three-man double-team is a decent shot timing. Double team... great! As for one-on-one defense...that's a cash machine.

This time, however, he failed to hit the rim with a decent shot.

boom!

The basketball hit the front of the rim hard, making a loud noise... just like the banging of a blacksmith shop on the streets of Milan!

Both David Lee and Doug tried to turn around and go back to grab the rebound, but Gasol was one step ahead after all, and he got the rebound.

Immediately, pass it to Kobe.

"See? This is the benefit of resolute shooting!"

Kobe Bryant continues to teach Doug: "When you have three guys double-teaming you,

Your teammates will get more offensive rebound opportunities, which greatly improves their rim stats. "

Black Mamba has its own set of court logic.

Doug remained silent, and now there were 35 seconds left. If the Lakers consume all 24 seconds of attack time and hit a shot. Then the Knicks will go straight from the backcourt to the frontcourt. This is very bad for New York.

"You should join the Lakers." Kobe Bryant continued to talk about family matters.

Tonight, he looked a little bit like a aunt and a wife: "Los Angeles has the most loyal fans. They will never openly call for LeBron James to join you when you lead the team to the finals! As you know, about two I'll be in the second half of my career in two years, and if you join the Lakers, I can teach you a lot. And in five years, it's all yours! And in it, we can take it all champion……"

"You talk too much nonsense."

Duge didn't want to waste time with him, so he rushed forward while talking. Kobe Bryant quickly changed direction to avoid Doug's impact,

But soon, Doug rushed up again, his speed suddenly increased because of the boiling blood, almost every reaction of him was just right, and Kobe didn't have more opportunities to take advantage of it.

At this time, he tried to force Kobe Bryant to throw the basketball out quickly.

And under his stalking, Bryant finally spun around and completely swayed a trace of defense. At this time, the Black Mamba had no time to waste any more time, because he also realized that Snoopy was a bit difficult to deal with.

He quickly completed the step back and shot the fadeaway.

When the basketball flies into the sky.

"See? Spin with the ball in your left hand, step back with your left foot, then step back with your right foot."

Just as Kobe Bryant finished speaking... Shua!

The basketball falls into the net.

It's a three point.

118:117.

The Lakers reversed the score by 1 point, and the shouts of MVP resounded again in the Staples Arena. They cheered from the bottom of their hearts for the cold-blooded Black Mamba at the critical moment.

But, unbeknownst to them, Doug gave the Knicks an extra four seconds of shot time, and they now have 15 seconds to complete the final play.

In the Lakers' full-court attack, Doug came around the baseline to catch Gallinari's ball, and then he stepped forward to expand.

His action was very sharp, despite Kobe Bryant pressing the whole court.

But...it didn't stop his rhythm from freezing.

When he reached the three-point line in the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant's defense was fully deployed, and he didn't give Doug any direct shot.

The other Lakers players are staring at every Knicks player, and he has no chance to pass the ball at all.

And time is running out.

Defense! Defense! Defense! ! !

In the tsunami-like orderly sound of Staples Arena.

"Snoopy, come on!!"

Karlie Kloss's crisp voice came.

Doug gritted his teeth, and then...he strode forward directly. His explosive speed was much higher than before, which even gave Kobe Bryant the same feeling as defending Iverson.

Under the rush of blood, Duge's physical condition at this time was unprecedented.

After Doug took one step, he didn't continue to take the second step. He stopped suddenly, and Kobe Bryant quickly leaned against him... At the moment he was close to him, Doug turned around quickly... He held the ball in his left hand and acted with his right foot. On the central axis, Kobe Bryant was instantly swayed away.

Kobe had already guessed what Doug wanted to do at this time.

But his defense has lost half a spot, while he's making quick adjustments.

Doug stepped back with his left foot, followed by his right foot, and he shot the basketball out of his hand in a way that exactly copied Kobe Bryant... as the ball flew over the fingertips of the black mamba trying to block.

The entire Staples fell silent in an instant.

All are waiting for the final judgment on this shot.

The Duke Dog used a method of copying the Black Mamba.

Although his technical movements looked a little stiff, but... the moment he shot, everyone felt his softness.

In the long-awaited... beep! !

The electronic beep sounds and the game time is over.

And the basketball finally fell into the basket just right and extremely precise at the moment when the light behind the backboard turned red... Swoosh!

Hollow!

competition is over!

Snoopy once again accomplished the feat of killing the game.

12o: 118!

The Knicks won their first victory in the finals away!

When the New York players rushed towards Snoopy frantically and roared loudly.

The entire Staples Arena seemed to be in a dark hell.

Everyone seems to have experienced an indescribable nightmare... Lost? We actually lost to the Knicks?

No one finds this result real, they only find it ridiculous.

how is this possible? ?

There is every kind of disbelief in their minds, and every kind of disapproval.

But now the situation is that the Knicks won!

And it was an undisputed victory.

Phil Jackson let out a long sigh on the bench, and he quickly woke up from the shock.

He knows how this game is lost.

But he really didn't expect the Knicks to be so tough.

He stood up and walked to the technical table, shaking hands with an excited Herb Williams.

To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of this rookie coach who led his team to the finals in the first season of coaching. He believed that all of this was due to Snoopy. So, he just patted Herb Williams on the shoulder, without saying anything, not even polite congratulations, and turned to the locker room.

This defeat was very sad for him, but it also gave him a lot of capital to negotiate with Old Bath, and he hoped that Jerry would understand. The Lakers are not just Kobe Bryant's team. Even if Jim Buss handles Kobe Bryant, he can't control the entire team. It must have been a mistake to hand over all ninety percent of the shares to him.

"Remember what I said, I'm not kidding you, if you want to go further, come to the Lakers."

The Black Mamba hugged Dug before leaving and whispered something in his ear.

He's courting Snoopy.

Afterwards, he refused the interview of reporters on the sidelines and left the scene.

Dug, on the other hand, was surrounded by the media.

"The last game-winner was a tribute to the Black Mamba, who helped me a lot. You know...I shot a funny back-up step-back in a game. He told me at the time, yes I got my pivot foot wrong. And then... he still emphasized it to me when he hit the 3. I just memorized some tricks and I did it at the end."

Duger told the media with a smile: "He is a good teacher."

"I didn't think about making history. I didn't even listen carefully to the series of attributives you just added in front of my name. What? I led the team to the Finals for the first time in history and was in the finals. A player who had a quasi-triple-double with a game-winner and broke the record for assists in a single game? Well... I don't think I can remember it, but it's a nice honor anyway. And, we won games ... that's the most important thing."

"Winning this game means a lot to us. My teammates played 200 percent for this game. They deserve any credit. They are super heroes for the Knicks. I think... history Will not forget them."

"Of course, history will not forget those envious people who said before the game that the Knicks can't do this or that."

"I don't have any response to those people, I like to use the game to speak."

When Doug answered several questions about the game in a row, the reporter naturally brought the topic to the scuffle before the end of the game. ESPN's reporter asked: "Which feels better, being touched by Kim Kardashian or being forced to kiss by Jennifer Lawrence?"

"It feels better to shake the black mamba and hit the shot."

Duge gave him an angry look, and then ended the interview.

Obviously, he didn't want to get involved at all, but this matter has already created a storm of public opinion on the Internet. And he... is precisely the absolute male number one in this turmoil.

When Doug stepped away from the sight of the sports media.

The entertainment media has long set out to create all kinds of eye-catching headlines.

Obviously, for a larger part of the population. The Knicks beat the Lakers to win Game 1 of the Finals and it wasn't as eye-catching as the Duchess-Daughters court battle. They are also more willing to discuss the matter.

However, the nba broadcast channel still has to conclude the statement on this game: "There is no doubt that Snoopy has created a miracle again. His ability to catch the opponent's loopholes is at the historical level. It can even be said that he is in this matter. No. 1 in active play. The Knicks reached the Finals all the way from the Eastern Conference. Many people said that they relied on luck and the opponent's injuries. But...don't forget that the Knicks also suffered from injuries, and they also lost two insiders one after another. core."

"Also, there are injuries every year in the playoffs, but has any team swept the Knicks all the way to the cut? The answer is no! It just goes to show that ... the opportunity and taking the opportunity are two different things."

"Maybe...the Knicks will still lose this series in the end. However, I would like to pay tribute to this Knicks team, and I would like to give Snoopy a standing ovation! He led the Knicks to complete the unprecedented legend in NBA history. Within the season, the great transformation from the lottery team to the finals team was completed!"

McBrin's words on ESPN made many fans reflect.

The facts are right in front of us.

Facts speak louder than words!
