legendary point guard

Chapter 345 Who says it’s not possible!

After this arrangement, the Lakers' tactics relied entirely on Pau Gasol as the pivot, with Odom and Kobe becoming supporting roles. The entire team patiently implemented the triangle offensive tactics.

Pietrus and Fisher's outside shooting and Pietrus' cutting in caused big trouble for the Magic. Especially Fisher's three consecutive three-pointers made the entire Staples crazy.

The Magic team felt as if they had put their hands into the cold Arctic Ocean bottom, and their feel suddenly dropped.

"Bryant leaned back with great difficulty. Ron had already blocked the shot in his face and still couldn't stop the goal. He even almost received an extra penalty. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Los Angeles came back to life. They came back to life. Los Angeles used

A two-point lead in four minutes.

Although Orlando's poor touch is related to Los Angeles' defense, they still have big problems with their own touch, including Wood, who should be more confident and not pass the ball!" Hoffman said while looking at the court.

Lin Sen encountered crazy defense during this period. Kobe and Pietrus' continuous defense changes made Lin Sen uncomfortable. In these five minutes, Lin Sen took 5 shots and only hit 2 goals. It looked good, but for Lin Sen

For Sen, this hit rate is obviously unqualified.

"Stan called a timeout. This timeout is necessary! Orlando must adjust. Chauncey and Wood are the two big hearts of Orlando. They didn't have chaos but they didn't feel very good." Bill Walton looked at the sidelines.

said.

The long pause passed quickly, and the game restarted as the referee blew his whistle.

"Bryant defends Wood, what will Wood choose this time? Will he do it himself? This offense is particularly important for Orlando." Bill Walton said.

The basketball kept colliding with the ground. Kobe looked at Lin Sen coldly, his eyes filled with coldness.

Lin Sen accelerated violently. Kobe immediately turned around to pursue him.

Bang!

However, this time Kobe's body was intercepted by a wall. Pietrus on the other side immediately prepared to cover up the defense, but was also delayed and failed to switch defenses as perfectly as he did in the previous few minutes.

Looking at Lin Sen's back, Kobe raised his head and glared angrily at Darko Milicic who was blocking him.

"This time the Los Angeles perimeter failed to stop Wood. Wood rushed into the paint!" Bill Walton shouted loudly.

Natalie Portman in the audience stared closely at Lin Sen. Originally, they thought they would win this game, but unexpectedly such a sudden change occurred. They hoped that Lin Sen would usher in tomorrow's game with victory.

Oscar feast instead of flop.

Looking at the Lakers twin towers inside, Lin Sen gritted his teeth. In the first few minutes, the defense of Pietrus and Kobe Bryant on the outside of the Lakers was a key. The defense of Pau Gasol and Odom on the inside was even more critical.

At this moment, Lin Sen chose to rush inside. If there was an emergency stop, Pietrus would probably come up to defend and interfere with his shot.

Lin Sen took a heavy step with his left foot inside the free throw line, and almost at the same time he held the ball to his chest with both hands, as if he was holding a bag of explosives to blow up a bunker with a death-defying attitude.

Such a tough attitude also made Pau Gasol have to worry about his defense. He was worried about being fouled by Lin Sen.

Lin Sen protected the ball with both hands and cut directly inside. He looked at Gasol with his arms raised in the air without any fear. He took a step and collided with Gasol.

Bang!

The two collided, and Gasol kept his cylinder for fear of being called for a foul.

Lin Sen stepped forward with his right foot and adjusted his body's center of gravity. Gasol did not dare to press down, which gave Lin Sen an opportunity.

Lin Sen squeezed past Gasol directly to the right. After passing Pau Gasol, Lin Sen slammed his left foot on the floor.

He completely left Gasol behind him, passed the ball to his right hand, and made a reverse basket and sent the ball into the basket.

"Wood, Wood successfully scored. This time it was a tenacious breakthrough. Paul, who had five fouls, did not dare to press down and gave Wood a chance. 107:107, the two sides were tied. At this time, there was still time before the end of the game.

There are 1 minute and 19 seconds. In a real life-and-death battle, every minute is extremely important." Hoffman shouted excitedly.

Kobe directly passed the ball in the backcourt. Artest looked at Kobe approaching the frontcourt step by step. He was under great defensive pressure.

Artest immediately stuck to him without waiting in place. In a flash, Artest stuck to Kobe like a piece of dog-skin plaster, and at the same time, he also used his own little moves.

He must not let Kobe continue to score goals. As long as he prevents Kobe's goal. Returning to the offensive end and scoring another goal for the Magic, the situation will be much more favorable to the Magic.

Kobe Bryant took Artest's idea of ​​not passing the ball and hit him with his back while listening to the cheers from the entire field.

"Paul cover!" Bill Walton shouted loudly, and Kobe, who was leaning on Artest with his back, immediately turned around.

Lin Sen, who was not far away, immediately pounced on him, but Lin Sen was still a little slow.

Kobe had already taken one step inside the three-point line and took his hand. The ball flew out and arced into the basket.

"Bryant, Bryant is still feeling hot. His goal helped Los Angeles lead by two points again! The pressure has returned to Orlando. I can even imagine that Orlando and Los Angeles will fight to the end like they did for the first time in the regular season.

In one second, it could even be a game-winner." Bill Walton said.

Originally, he thought that the suspense of the game was gone and that the Orlando Magic would win on the road. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and the Magic were not feeling good. The Lakers, who were nine points behind, caught up with the point difference and achieved a lead. Bill Walton

I have to sigh that anything is possible on the basketball court.

Lin Sen could only reluctantly accept the fact that Kobe Bryant scored. For the Magic, they had to temporarily put aside all pressure at this moment and strive for success.

Trailing by two points with one minute left, if you want to win, you must at least equalize first.

"This is Kobe Bryant, a big heart. He never shows mercy at critical moments. He shows with his actions that this is his home court, this is his territory. What kind of response will Wood make? Now Orlando needs to score goals. It needs to be

Someone stands up, and Wood, as the leader of the team, has this responsibility." Hoffman said while looking at Lin Sen on the court.

However, God and Lin Sen made a joke. Lin Sen used the pick-and-roll and took a shot directly from outside the three-point line. He felt very good. But in the end, he missed the frame.

"This is an unreasonable offensive choice, but it is reasonable for Wood, but God made a joke with him. I thought this goal was going to score and help Orlando go ahead, but it missed the frame. This way

You have to do a good job in defense when you come to Orlando." Hoffman said with some regret.

Lin Sen shook his arm in frustration. He felt very good about the shot just now, but he failed to hit it. If he lost the game in the end, he could imagine that this shot would be criticized by many people.

"Wood, keep on, you're doing a great job!" Stan Van Gundy shouted to Lin Sen on the court. Lin Sen turned his head and glanced at Stan Van Gundy. He nodded and felt lucky to be in the Magic.

Everyone hopes to have coaches and teammates who always support them, but this is not an easy task, but he got this treatment that countless people dream of.

Pau Gasol picked off the defensive rebound and immediately handed the ball to Kobe.

During the transition between offense and defense, the Lakers played very patiently. Kobe attracted the defense and passed the ball to Gasol, who chose to play singles in the face of Milicic's defense.

With almost 24 seconds left before the buzzer sounded, Pau Gasol turned over and made a jump shot and sent the ball into the basket. The faces of the Magic fans in front of the TV were full of disappointment.

With thirty-one seconds left, the Magic trailed the Lakers by four points.

"The game is completely serious. Orlando can only score goals to maintain the possibility of winning. What Los Angeles has to do is defend. As long as it can prevent Orlando's next attack, the suspense of the game will completely disappear." Hoffman said.

Stan Van Gundy used up the Magic's last long timeout. In addition, the Magic only had a 20-second short timeout left.

"Grab a three-pointer, or pursue a success rate and find a two-pointer? This is a difficult choice?" Bill Walton said, looking at the Magic bench.

"Almost everyone on the Magic team has three-point ability. This is a huge test for the Lakers' defense, especially Wood and Chauncey. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Orlando chooses three-pointers. I think Phil will think so too, and

If you think this way, Orlando can take advantage of the opportunity and easily steal a two-point ball." Hoffman said.

After the timeout, Sean Battier, Ron Artest, Darko Milicic, Lin Sen and Billups became the final lineup on the court. Everyone in this lineup except Milicic has three-point ability.

.

Phil Jackson had anticipated this situation. He still thought the ball would be handed to Lin Sen.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle, and the four players from the Magic team immediately ran around to try to widen the distance between everyone. The four players tried their best to disrupt the Lakers' defense.

Darko Milicic saw Linsen and immediately threw the ball over.

Due to the rapid movement of the four people back and forth, the opportunity for Darko Milicic to catch the open pass was short-lived. Therefore, the quality of the pass was not very good.

Lin Sen could only jump up to win the ball, but after a delay, Kobe blocked Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked at the timer out of the corner of his eye. Time did not allow him to move too much. He kept his rhythm and Kobe's open arms covered Lin Sen.

Bang!

His back collided with Kobe's, and he used his left foot as a pivot to pull the ball to Kobe's right side with his right hand.

Kobe adjusted his defensive focus, and Lin Sen took advantage of the situation to pull the ball back. With a change of wrist, the ball landed behind him on the right side.

At the same time, Lin Sen stepped back with his right foot, followed with his left heel, and there was a half-body gap between him and Kobe.

Lin Sen, who had just missed a shot that he thought he would score, looked at the basket and chose to take off again.

"Wood chose to take off. It was another typical Wood-style shot! Did it happen this time?" Bill Walton shouted loudly, staring closely at Lin Sen who took off.

Lin Sen still didn't hesitate and jumped up directly. He didn't even make too many adjustments and shot directly. In order to avoid Kobe's block, Lin Sen increased the arc.

This shot still made Lin Sen feel good, but the same shot last time made Lin Sen a little worried.

Watching the ball fall to the ground in an arc in the air, the ball fell straight towards the basket.

Whoosh!

As the ball went into the basket, Lin Sen roared.

"Wood, Wood did it. He hit a key three-pointer despite a huge blow, only one point away, only one point away! Wood, Wood has a big heart!" Bill Walton roared loudly.

Lin Sen on the court clenched his fists and retreated quickly.

This goal also gave the Magic renewed hope. Linsen's attack only took four seconds, and there were still 27 seconds left before the end of the game.

Even if the Lakers adopt a tactic that consumes 24 seconds of attack time, the Magic can still have an offensive opportunity. In addition, the team has a short timeout that just gives the Magic a chance to serve from the frontcourt. They are starting to look forward to it.

Phil Jackson called a timeout. The next 24 seconds are very important to the Lakers. They can't make mistakes and try to use up the 24 seconds even if they don't take a shot.

The Magic are making final arrangements. 110:111 The Magic are only one point behind, but time is too important for them.

beep!

With a whistle, the referee began to urge the players from both sides to come on stage. In the last 25 seconds, everyone held their breath.

Darko Milicic stood in front of Pau Gasol and raised his arms to interfere with Gasol's serve. The others were close to their defenders one by one.

For a moment, the Lakers' serve was stagnant, and the Lakers had no timeout and were about to violate the five-second serve. Fisher actually ran out of position, and Gasol immediately threw the ball over.

Under the interference, Fisher steadily controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt where it stopped two steps away from the three-point line. He bent his waist and steadily dribbled the ball to waste time.

Billups couldn't help but want to resort to foul tactics. When the time came to within ten seconds, Kobe sped up and ran towards Fisher. Lin Sen chased behind him, but Kobe still caught the ball.

The time had reached the edge of twenty-four seconds. Kobe took off and made a difficult three-pointer.

"Bryant takes action!" Bill Walton stood up. All the Lakers fans in the audience were looking forward to a goal. However, Kobe's forced shot failed and the ball bounced off the rim.

Darko Milicic took the lead to protect the rebound and immediately requested a timeout. The time was fixed at 1.6 seconds.

"There are only 1.6 seconds left in the game, Orlando receives the ball and must take action."

"Los Angeles is also under a lot of pressure. They must defend well. Once Orlando scores, they will only fail." Bill Walton said.

"Only Wood and Chauncey are left on the outside. Dakota, you and Dwight are on the inside, preparing for alley-oop tactics. Ron, you are responsible for sending boundary balls to the inside and hitting the inside when opportunities arise. However, Paul and Lamar are on the inside.

It is estimated that the possibility of alley-oops is unlikely, but once you have the opportunity, don't hesitate, Wood, you and Chauncey make preparations on the outside and give Wood as much as possible!" Stan Van Gundy quickly arranged.

In 1.6 seconds, you can only catch and shoot. A rapid whistle sounded, urging the Magic and Lakers players to come on stage.

Phil Jackson felt confident when he saw Dwight Howard and Darko Milicic. Although they were two big men who could jump, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom were tall enough to pick him up in the air.

He's not afraid. The only thing he's worried about is Lin Sen. He knows Lin Sen's shooting ability, and he's also worried about Lin Sen's big heart.

1.6 seconds was enough to take action, and Phil Jackson's eyes fell on Lin Sen.

Darko Milicic stood outside the frontcourt boundary, Dwight Howard and Darko Milicic stood on the left and right at the 45-degree mid-range, while Linsen and Billups leaned closer

Together.

The referee blew a whistle to signal Darko Milicic to serve.

Kobe sticks closely to Lin Sen. As long as the Lakers hold on to 1.6, they can win. For Kobe, he will never allow others to destroy his victory. No one can, not even God.

"I must run out."

Deep in his heart, Lin Sen roared and pushed Kobe Bryant with his left hand. The Lakers' defense was composed of both outside and inside defenses. The inside defense was in the air and the outside defense was three-pointers. If he ran towards the three-point line, it was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, so Lin Sen

Lin Sen made a bold decision, that is, not to run towards the three-point line but to continue to pull outwards. When he did it, Lin Sen immediately ran out after a concealed collision with his elbow.

"Wood threw Bryant away, and he... actually ran towards the center circle." Hoffman shouted, and almost everyone had the same idea.

Kobe, who was in pain, failed to catch Lin Sen.

"Keep an eye on him!" Kobe shouted, watching Lin Sen run further away.

"ball!"

Lin Sen raised his arms and shouted, Darko Milicic hesitated and passed the ball.

When Lin Sen received the ball, he was three meters away from the three-pointer, which was more than twelve meters away from the basket. He was unable to make any adjustments in 1.6 seconds. Lin Sen jumped up and pushed the ball out.

Just as the basketball left his hand and flew into the sky, the backboard turned red. If you advance, you win. If you don't, you will lose. This push almost used up all Lin Sen's strength.

For such a long-distance shot, the only option was to push. Watching the basketball leave his hand, Lin Sen's strength seemed to be exhausted.

The orange basketball flying over the Staples Center seemed to have become the focus of the entire world's attention at this moment.

Most of the people in the noisy Staples Center were shouting for the ball to go in. Only a small number of Lakers fans were shouting that the basketball was not going to go in.

With countless people watching, the basketball fluttered toward the basket. Looking along its trajectory, the backboard, which had already turned red, became the perfect background color.

The arc drawn by the basketball made Lakers fans close their eyes. When the harsh sound of wiping the net sounded, the Staples Center was silent for a moment.

Lin Sen lowered his head and raised his arms. He didn't yell or talk trash. He just stood quietly like this. His teammates couldn't bear to disturb Lin Sen. He stood not far from Lin Sen, as if he was worshiping a hero.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Phil Jackson's little eyes, and Stan Van Gundy's suit became wrinkled due to his excited fist pumping.

Kobe's proud eyes dimmed for a while and then became proud again.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, Wood, Wood created a miracle!"
