I’m Really Playing Basketball

"Since 2005, when Wonder Boy led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first championship, he has been the undisputed number one player in the NBA.

Even in the past few years, the NBA has been full of stars, with Duncan, Iverson, O'Neal, and Garnett at their peak, Wade, Yao Ming, James, and Ron Howard all shining brightly, and the Wonder Boy is the well-deserved number one player in the NBA.

Ray Allen, Tracy McGrady, and many others have challenged him for this position, but no one has ever been able to dislodge him from the throne.

His strength and dominance are disappointing.

But this season, Kobe sent him the strongest impact!

In the past few years, we have never seen the Wonder Boy's position so precarious, and we have never seen anyone so close to him!

Now, Kobe's long gun allows us to see history, and we are now witnessing a great game written into NBA history! "

In the TNT commentary box on the sidelines of the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, Kenny Smith's hoarse voice was explaining to the audience in front of the TV this game that had the whole audience excited.

Because this game was so exciting, he and his partner Barkley were now hoarse and felt as if their throats were on fire.

However, no matter how uncomfortable the channel from which the sound came out was, it could not stop them from admiring the game.

In the past few seasons, because the NBA has entered the golden age, there has been an endless stream of classic games, and the quality of the games has been much higher than in the past. Under such circumstances, there are naturally many classic and beautiful games, but even Yes, games like this one between the Bobcats and the Lakers are still extremely rare.

This game was a fierce competition throughout the game, and the two teams maintained extremely high intensity and high competitiveness from the beginning of the game.

It can be said that not a single round is a hip-stretching round.

Especially the duel between Chen Xiao and Kobe, the first player in the group.

In this game, almost every quarter, every minute, and every second on the court, the two of them were extremely powerful, the kind of power that could make the aura out of the TV, the kind that except for the opponent at this time , powerful that no one else can match.

In the game between Chen Xiao and Kobe, one scored 54 points in three quarters and the other scored 46 points in three quarters, and they were both scored in super singles.

Facing Chen Xiao and Kobe like this, even Ray Allen, Tracy McGrady, James, Allen Iverson, Ron Howard, Arenas and other super perimeter players in front of the TV were all marveling.

Especially after the start of the fourth quarter, the two teams entered a crazy state.

From 96 to 96 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers led as high as 100 to 96. The Bobcats, led by Chen Xiao, fought back to chase the score to 104 to 104.

Then with the consecutive scoring of Gasol and Kobe, the Lakers once again opened the score to 110 to 106. At this time, there were 7 minutes and 04 seconds left in the game, and there was still a lot of time.

Based on the situation before this game, many people thought that Chen Xiao would lead the Bobcats to catch up with the score again.

But when there were 3 minutes and 56 seconds left in the game, the Bobcats not only failed to catch up, but the Lakers stretched the score to 119-110. Everyone had one idea at the time, that is, the Bobcats were going to collapse. .

In this game, the Bobcats' offense relied too much on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao's physical strength seemed to be exhausted.

At the same time, the Lakers' inside advantage is indeed too great. At the very least, in this game, the Lakers' Gasol advantage over Aldridge is almost as wide as the ocean.

In this case, even the most optimistic Bobcats fans have given up at this time.

Under this situation, the CCTV commentator Zhang on the sidelines was even desperate. He could even imagine that Chen Xiao would not only lose a game in this game, but also lose his position as the number one player in the league.

But just when everyone was waiting for the birth of a new number one player in the league, or even the birth of a new MVP, no one thought that there might be a sudden change in the subsequent games.

With 3 minutes and 56 seconds left in the game, Kobe caused Chen Xiao to foul from beyond the three-point line and made all three free throws, stretching the score to the largest point difference of the game at 119 to 110.

Just when the Bobcats were in despair, and even many Bobcat players on the court were sighing, Xiao Pao quickly sent a baseline kick, and then received the ball and then sprinted forward. Although the Lakers' Baron Davis followed very well, No chance to create a fast break.

However, Xiaopao still brought up the Bobcats' seemingly lifeless rhythm, and assisted Chen Xiao with 3 minutes and 39 seconds left in the game, hitting 3 points from beyond the three-point line, and also brought the score back to 113. 119.

Even though he was exhausted and the situation was so critical, Chen Xiao was still in his "Chen Xiao White Cave" and hit three-pointers from the front. I have to say that Chen Xiao's hands are really hard and his heart is really steel. Beaten, made of iron.

However, the Lakers opposite also have a strongman made of steel.

In the next round after Chen Xiao hit a life-extending three-pointer, with 3 minutes and 24 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant hit Chen Xiao in a single from mid-range, 121 to 113, and the point difference opened up by 8 points again!

The Bobcats are still desperate!

And the game continues.

With 3 minutes and 06 seconds left in the game, the Bobcats once again hit a three-pointer, but it was not Chen Xiao who hit the three-pointer, but Chen Xiao and Chris Paul's pick-and-roll. Chen Xiao faced the double-team of Kobe and Baron Davis. , The ball was passed to Paul who was placed outside the three-point line next to him.

Facing the release of the Lakers, Paul adjusted from outside the three-point line, made a slow three-pointer, and hit, 116 to 121!

This is the first three-pointer hit by Xiao Cannon in this game!

In the next round, there were 2 minutes and 47 seconds left in the game. After consecutive singles, Kobe chose to rest in this round and hit the ball to Gasol. After Gasol attracted a double attack, he took the ball. Assigned to Odom outside.

In the third quarter, Odom, who was 1 of 5, hit the most important three-pointer of the game, 124 to 116, and the point difference was still 8 points!

At this time, the time was less than three minutes, and the Bobcats were still in despair, even more desperate!

To make matters worse, after Odom hit this three-pointer, his morale was like a rainbow, his attention also changed from a scattered state to a concentrated state, and at 2 minutes and 36 seconds, he stole Granger who was trying to break through and beat him in singles.

Granger was stunned when he was intercepted by Odom.

Why did this opponent, whose defense was not very good throughout the game, suddenly become so good?

And this is Odom.

When he gets serious, he is indeed a comprehensive All-Star player, but most of the time, he doesn't get serious.

But a game like this allowed him, who was supposed to be undercover, to find the feeling of playing seriously.

There were 2 minutes and 33 seconds left in the game. Kobe, who was on a fast break, was chased from behind by Chen Xiao and fouled. Kobe made two free throws, 126 to 116!

The biggest point difference in the game!

There were 2 minutes and 33 seconds left in the game, and the score difference had reached 10 points. At this moment, almost everyone felt that there was no suspense anymore.

Even Nash in front of the TV sighed helplessly in his heart.

If Kobe defeats Chen Xiao in this game, then it is obvious that he will have no chance of becoming the regular season MVP this season.

Although he is No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, Kobe and the Lakers are No. 1 in the Western Conference. The No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference has a better record than the No. 1 team in the Western Conference.

However, the MVP honor is not only based on record, but also depends on other aspects.

If such the most important game of the entire regular season is taken away by Kobe, then Kobe will lock in the honor of regular season MVP before the arrival of 2008. This is definitely not a joke.

Although Nash feels that he is a relatively indifferent person, this is the MVP!

If he can really win the MVP, he can complete the slap in the face against the Mavericks and Cuban.

So not only Kobe is interested in this season's MVP, but Nash is too.

Obviously, at this moment, the whole world feels that the Bobcats are finished.

Although there were twists and turns, the Lakers relied on their stronger strength to stabilize the situation and even expanded their advantage.

And what makes the Bobcats and those who support the Bobcats even more desperate is that when the score difference in this game widened to 10 points, the Bobcats players were already a little panicked.

At 2 minutes and 23 seconds, Paul, who had just hit a three-pointer, looked at Chen Xiao, who was being guarded, and pulled out directly from outside the three-point line. This time, against Baron Davis's defense, he made a three-pointer and hit the ball under the basket. Bynum grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the ball to Granger outside. Granger once again hit a three-pointer.

With 2 minutes and 03 seconds left in the game, Odom made a dribbling error and Granger completed the steal.

At 1 minute and 50 seconds, Granger received a pass from Paul and once again hit the ball outside the three-point line.

When Granger hit another three-pointer, many people, whether on the scene or in front of the TV, could tell that the Bobcats were in a panic.

There is no way, with such a backwardness, if you don’t bet on three points, what else can you do?

In the NBA, betting on three-pointers means real despair. When a person is desperate, his shooting percentage is likely to be very low.

Therefore, whether it is Xiao Pao or Granger, it is actually understandable that they continue to fight.

In fact, you should praise them for standing up decisively when Chen Xiao was so tightly guarded.

With Chen Xiao's reputation in the NBA at critical moments, it is very difficult for Chen Xiao to easily catch the ball and attack easily at the last moment of the game.

Paul and Granger took action decisively when opportunities arose. This is worthy of recognition, but they just missed.

Therefore, even Jordan on the sidelines applauded them.

However, as a neutral spectator, I would definitely feel that they handled the last few attacks in this game too hastily, especially Granger.

So from the sensory perspective of the game, Granger ruined the game somewhat.

only……

Just when Granger hit a three-pointer and all the Bobcats fans at the scene were holding their heads...

Bang bang!

Chen Xiao, who had already run to the basket at some point, grabbed the offensive rebound, dunked the basketball into the basket with both hands, and also caused a foul on Gasol.

2 points scored, extra free throw hit, 119 to 126!

At this time, there were 1 minute and 48 seconds left in the game, and the difference between the two sides was 7 points.

At this time, no one still believed that the Bobcats could recover the score.

Not even the players on the Lakers and Bobcats felt that way.

It's just that Gasol and Gasol were frowning a little at this time.

In order to maintain the team's inside advantage in the second half, the two did not take a minute's rest. They have now played for nearly 24 minutes. This is very difficult for big insiders, especially heavy centers like Gasol.

But there is no way, this is the sequelae of David West's departure, the team's current interior rotation is problematic.

There were 1 minute and 26 seconds left in the game. After controlling the time, Baron Davis chose to take a strong shot under Paul's defense. Although he did not hit the ball, the Lakers' offense was almost consumed this time. 24 seconds of time.

With less than 1 and a half minutes left in the game, Baron Davis had no problem controlling the time.

With 1 minute and 16 seconds left in the game, Paul, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt, once again picked and rolled with Granger and hit the ball into Granger's hands. This time, Granger slightly shook Odom away. , The mid-range shot hit, 121 to 126, the score was still 5 points away!

After the hit, Granger roared loudly. The offensive rebound that Chen Xiao grabbed just now, and Chen Xiao who was still cruising to the basket this time, gave Granger huge confidence.

Even if he misses the shot, his boss can help him make it up.

Being behind by 7 points with less than a minute and a half left and being behind by 5 points are completely different concepts.

It's the difference between three balls and two balls.

Before, the Lakers sought stability, but now, the Lakers no longer dare to seek stability, so Baron Davis no longer held on to the ball, but took the initiative to find Kobe after halftime.

However, at this time, the Bobcats, who were about to be pulled back from the desperate situation, had already maximized the defensive pressure.

The defensive pressure on Kobe at this time can be imagined.

Just like the Lakers put all their defensive pressure on Chen Xiao at the last moment, of course the Bobcats' defense at this time is all on Kobe.

The rest of the Lakers did not dare to attack at this time. When Kobe pressed the time to 55 seconds left, he almost threw the ball out from outside the three-point line against Chen Xiao's defense. It was a strike!

When Kobe hit the iron with a three-pointer this time, the entire Charlotte Bobcats Arena was boiling.

In the cheers of the Bobcats players, after the Bobcats grabbed the backcourt rebound, everyone rushed to the frontcourt as hard as they could.

Fast break, at this time, is the biggest weapon against the Lakers, even Bynum, Gasol, and Gasol can't run.

For Chen Xiao, Roy, Granger, and Paul, they are all advantages.

There were 45 seconds left in the game. When Kobe, Odom and Baron Davis retreated, everyone rushed towards Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao passed the ball to Roy who was 45 degrees on the left.

A swipe!

Three point hit!

124 to 126!

The point difference is only 2 points!

At such a critical moment, Roy, who had been fighting for almost the entire game, actually hit such a goal!

Roy University teammate Nate Robinson, who was on the Lakers bench on the sidelines, was stunned.

He knew Roy had a big heart.

But he didn't expect the heart to be this big.

With 21 seconds left in the game, Kobe, who was pressed to 24 seconds, once again fought against the Bobcats' defense.

And this is the scene at the beginning.

Kenny Smith, Barkley, everyone, even if they are hoarse, are excitedly looking forward to the final moment.

"Timeout ends, Bobcats attack, Bobcats end this game, who is it? Granger, Roy, or!

Wonder boy! "

"Wonder Boy, Paul passed the ball to Wonder Boy!"

The whole Lakers team chased Chen Xiao madly, and finally let Chen Xiao catch the ball. The other Lakers players immediately dispersed and handed Chen Xiao to Kobe.

The successive hits of Granger and Roy before were not just as simple as scoring goals, but also opened up space for Chen Xiao.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Chen Xiao to have the chance to face Kobe alone.

In the last three minutes of the game, this was the first time Chen Xiao caught the ball and faced Kobe alone!

Looking at Chen Xiao who held Kobe behind with the ball in one hand on the court, almost everyone raised their hearts to their throats at this moment.

"Wonderboy is still wasting time!"

"This is the iconic lore treatment of the magical boy. He will not leave any chance for the opponent, and at the same time, he will not leave any retreat for himself!"

Time passes by second by second.

The confrontation between Chen Xiao and Kobe seemed to have stopped, but in fact, the world was moving.

10!

9!

8!

7!

As time passed, Kobe, who was already sweating, felt that he couldn't control the sweat on his body.

Even Nash standing in front of the TV had his hands covered in sweat.

3!

2!

When the number on the on-site timer jumps from the beginning of 3 to the beginning of 2, the world that seems to be static finally moves!

Chen Xiao took off without any hesitation, while Kobe in front of him followed suit with all his might.

At this point in the game, the two should have no physical strength.

However, the height of the two's take-offs still made the audience and the audience in front of the TV feel unbelievable.

"Back to the light, are Chen Xiao and Kobe Bryant back to the light?!"

Looking at the take-off heights of Chen Xiao and Kobe, Teacher Zhang on the sidelines even felt that their take-off heights seemed like the competition had just started.

In fact, the game is almost over!

"The two of them have tried their best in this game!"

Yes, Kobe tried his best for this game, and Chen Xiao also tried his best!

If Chen Xiao had any reservations about taking off this time, the basketball he threw out would be caught by Kobe!

Even though he tried his best, the basketball was only slightly missed by Kobe.

Just a little!

Just a little bit different!

Kobe in the air looked at Chen Xiao, who was also flying in the air coldly in front of him, and felt despair in his heart.

At this time, he shouldn't have thought that Chen Xiao could still hit such a difficult shot.

but!

Such a moment, such a stage!

This is for players like him and Chen Xiao!

This ball!

Will definitely come in!

There was a swipe sound, and Kobe's mind went blank as he landed on the ground.

"The killer, the wonder boy killed the Lakers!"

Then Nash, who was in front of the TV, jumped up with his hands raised as Barkley roared!
