My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Again?"

"Is this still the case?"

"But this time, I won't let victory slip away from my injury."

unacceptable!

Duncan was unwilling to accept such an ending again.

Tim Duncan deadpanned.

The big round eyes stared at Kobe.

His eyes were full of determination.

countless times!

Countless times the Spurs were ahead and just one step away from victory.

But Kobe stepped forward and ended the Spurs' hopes.

Duncan had been through this torture too many times.

And this time, Duncan did not intend to accept the result!

He is no longer the rookie he once was.

The Lakers are no longer the dynasty they once were.

There is no reason why Shifo can lose the game again!

Duncan had been preparing for this day and this moment for so long.

Kobe felt Duncan's unusual gaze.

"Come on, Stone Buddha."

"Tim Duncan!!!" Barkley broke.

Duncan jumped up and slapped Yao Ming's three-pointer off the court.

Three points!

Yao Ming's three-pointers are recognized in the league as one of several skills that are impossible to defend.

Just like Kobe's fadeaway three-pointer, McGrady's pull-up, Iverson's butterfly step, and Duncan's rebound jumper.

These skills can be called invincible!

Whether you can score goals with this invincible skill does not depend at all on the defensive player, but on the touch and physical ability of the shooter.

Yao Ming was feeling hot in the second half!

He made 3 three-pointers in the third quarter!

The Lakers tied the score directly.

Just entering the fourth quarter, Duncan used a domineering block to declare that it would not be that easy for the Lakers to win this game!

"How did he cover it?" Yao Ming opened his mouth wide.

In his first season in the league, his three-point shots have been intercepted and blocked before being released.

But after taking the shot, he has not been blocked even once!

Yao Ming's three-point shot selection is relatively cautious, and it is not the kind of shot against a defensive player.

As a result, Duncan rushed over from a safe position in an instant, jumped high, and used his god-like giant palm to fan the ball out of the court.

"I know many people think that a giant inside player will never be able to handle key balls as well as a more flexible outside player." Barkley narrowed his eyes.

"But I have to tell you! Tim Duncan! He is a monster! His key abilities are definitely worthy of any superstar in the league."

"Perhaps you are used to seeing the Spurs being dominated by the Lakers at critical moments, but I want to say that that was the time of the OK Dynasty."

"And now. Times are changing."

"This is what the league's most powerful forward should look like!" Popovich nodded with satisfaction.

The game entered the most anxious fourth quarter, and Duncan directly strangled Yao Ming on the defensive end.

Three points is one more than two points?

Then you won’t be able to shoot your three-point shot!

Originally, Popovich thought this game was going to be overturned by the Lakers again.

But Duncan wouldn't accept it!

The defensive end blocked consecutive shots!

On the offensive end, the 45° small rebound is unstoppable!

Fight against Kobe!

This is what the league's number one power forward should look like!

This is the perfect invincible power forward in Popovich's mind!

"He will rewrite the history of power forwards, and he will become the greatest power forward in history."

For the first time since Jordan, Popovich saw a player who could equal Kobe at critical moments!

The current number one power forward in history is Karl Malone, who scored more than 30,000 points.

Perhaps Duncan's scoring and data will not surpass Malone.

But in Popovich's view, Duncan's influence has surpassed that of any power forward of any era.

comprehensive!

Attack and defend! Everything is at its best!

If Malone was at his peak, he would not be able to guard Yao Ming.

If he couldn't guard Yao Ming, Kobe's offense wouldn't be so difficult.

One link after another!

In this game, as long as Duncan can persist to the end, the Spurs will win!

"Three-pointer!!! Kobe made this go-ahead three-pointer in the last 11 seconds of the game!"

"Is this going to be the game-winning shot for the Lakers?"

At the last moment of the game, Kobe, withstanding the double attack of Laga Bell and Duncan, hit the winning three-pointer!

The Lakers players rushed onto the court like crazy.

The God of Key!

The God of Killing!

Staples has been thrown into a sea of ​​celebration.

It was as if their hero gave them victory again in the final moments of the game.

"The game is not over." Kobe glanced at Duncan.

Duncan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the defense just now, he and Laga Bell had reached their limit.

But it can't be prevented.

However, it doesn’t matter if you can’t prevent it.

This time, I'm going to hit the winning shot.

"Everyone, give the ball to Tim!"

"Got it! Coach!"

The admiral serves.

Stephen Jackson interferes.

Stockton used Duncan's screen to pull to the outside, but the moment he was about to catch the ball, Kobe pounced on him.

And the General didn't pass the ball to Stockton.

His long arms were waving, but the general still relied on his height and vision to pass the ball steadily.

But it was passed to Finley!

10 seconds!

Finley did not struggle with Bowen and threw the ball high decisively.

Duncan jumped up!

Grab the basketball with both hands!

8 seconds!

Duncan has Yao Ming on his back, holding the ball with one hand and watching the defense.

6 seconds!

Moved!

Push forward forcefully from behind!

Yao Ming gritted his teeth and resisted!

4 seconds!

Turn around!

Duncan turned around quickly!

With one small step, Yao Ming was directly wiped away.

2 seconds!

Kobe stepped forward to help defend!

Duncan collects the ball.

Three big steps to the basket.

1 second!

Supporting Kobe with his left hand, he threw the ball toward the basket with his right hand.

Little throw!

"Beep!" The timer rings!

Basketball hits the board into the basket.

"This time, I hold victory in my hands."

Duncan remained expressionless.

And the Spurs players went crazy!

The admiral flew up and hung on Duncan.

Lagabell hugged Duncan's thigh!

Won!

The Spurs win!

At the last moment of the game, Duncan ended the game with a buzzer beater.

Kobe put his hands on his hips and shook his head, feeling helpless.

At the last moment, Duncan's wingspan kept the ball away from him.

This final shot was made by him.

This year's Spurs are really strong.

"Too strong! Duncan's performance in the last moment was too strong!" Barkley shouted hoarsely.

After watching football for so many years.

I have seen the ups and downs of countless stars.

But at this moment he was extremely excited.

"He is the only player besides Jordan who has defeated Kobe Bryant on key goals!"

"Although Kobe is not in perfect condition, Duncan, who scored 47 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 8 blocks, 3 steals and 5 turnovers today, is undoubtedly a true Buddha on the court!"

"The Spurs have a championship statue!" Kenny Smith's words stunned the fans in front of the TV.

Kill the Timberwolves first, and then defeat the Lakers like this.

It seems that this year's Spurs really won the first championship after the OK Dynasty?

"The Spurs are a very good team, and Duncan is the best insider in the league." Harris' words at the post-game press conference made Popovich feel happy.

finally!

Finally, once, the Spurs and Lakers fought to the end and won.

This is an omen.

This indicates that the Spurs will take the absolute initiative in the next series!

"Yao Ming's performance in the third quarter was great, but he still has a lot of room for improvement." Harris brushed off Yao Ming's problems.

Yao Ming was supposed to complete a transformation in the second half.

But Shi Buddha pushed him back forcefully!

If Yao Ming had taken that step, perhaps the game would have been completely different.

Harris doesn't have much to worry about.

The growth of a player always requires a process.

After experiencing this game, Yao Ming will definitely grow.

"I'm proud of our team!" Popovich praised the players one by one.

"What do you think of Tim's 47 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 8 blocks, 3 steals and 5 turnovers?"

"He is the greatest player in the league! And he will also become the greatest player in history."

"I've been looking forward to that day."

Duncan's performance today was invincible!

At the last critical moment, he finally scored the key goal.

No longer the king of air cuts or the king of background!

"What do you think of Kobe's performance? Kobe's performance improved slightly in this game. He scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, and hit a go-ahead three-pointer at the last moment."

"Kobe's condition is improving, but at present, it is impossible for the Lakers to win the game with Kobe alone."

Popovich talks a lot.

Although Kobe's last three-pointer scared him into a cold sweat, Popovich still felt that Kobe could no longer save the Lakers.

Without O'Neal, Kobe is no longer the invincible God of War!

The Lakers' loss to the Spurs completely ignited a wave of public opinion in the NBA.

Lost.

This is the first playoff game the Lakers have lost this season.

The last time the Lakers lost at home in the playoffs was last season.

Although they have not been favorites to win the championship this season, the Lakers' supporters have always been the league's leading.

The more supporters there are, the more irrational fans there are.

When the Lakers were winning, they were the most fervent fans.

Many ardent fans even think that the Lakers are still the invincible dynasty.

But when the Lakers lost this game, many people began to question.

Correspondingly, a large number of fans have begun to pay attention to the Spurs, a team that is not well-known.

May 5, 2003.

Lakers VS Spurs, GAME2.

The Lakers cannot afford to lose this home court.

Losing two home games to San Antonio would pretty much mean a bye season.

"Coach, I don't think I can guard Duncan." Yao Ming bit his lower lip and said to Harris with a look of reluctance.

He is the most scolded Lakers player on social media.

Many Americans in this era already have the habit of racial discrimination.

"No, it's you." Harris smiled gently.

There really isn't much hope of winning the championship this season.

Cultivating seed players for future Lakers is the most important thing.

As for the Lakers, besides Yao Ming, who else is the most valuable player to develop and the player with the greatest potential for improvement?

"We will not change our defensive strategy against Duncan in this series."

Harris' words left Yao Ming at a loss.

He really felt that he was no match for Duncan, and playing like this was dragging down the team.

but.

"There is no room for error in this game." Harris tapped the tactical board.

"I see."

The G2 match between the Lakers and Spurs begins.

In this game, Kobe has completely adjusted his condition to its peak.

He is ready for a battle with Duncan!

Defending the home court, there is no room for error.

"Kobe is deliberately challenging Duncan!?"

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers' style of play surprised the commentator Magic.

Kobe is really tough!

Are you just trying to find the Spurs' strongest defensive point?

After Kobe and Yao Ming finished the pick-and-roll, if they switched positions, Kobe would not hesitate to single out Duncan.

If there was no dislocation, Kobe would immediately choose to break through and confront Duncan physically!

"Foul, Kobe wants to foul Duncan!"

Duncan discovered this quickly.

His defensive actions couldn't help but restrained.

As a result, Kobe continued to complete difficult layups.

"Hold it! Tim! Get it back on the offensive end!" Popovich shouted from the sidelines.

There are two outcomes for the confrontation between Kobe and Duncan.

One is that Duncan completely blocked Kobe and blocked Kobe like crazy.

One is that Duncan quickly received a foul.

Popovich is unwilling to gamble!

Because Kobe lost the bet, he can return to the perimeter and attack.

The Spurs lost the bet, and Duncan's dismissal had a huge impact on the team!

If the Spurs want to win, they can't take the risk that Duncan will end the game!

"Tim, do you still have any hesitation in your heart?" Kobe raised the corner of his mouth.

Since there is hesitation, Duncan's actions must be affected!

It's impossible for Duncan to defend himself like this!

That being the case! Kobe is on fire!

It’s a breakthrough!

Just on Duncan's face, he used difficult aerial operations to score goals!

You dare to reach out! I'll give you a foul!

Kobe scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in the half!

Duncan also performed well against Yao Ming, scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Spurs slightly 51:48.

"Laga! Guard Kobe!" Popovich was furious.

He couldn't accept that Laga Bell left Duncan exposed to Kobe's offense indefinitely.

Lagabel looked heavy.

Can't help it!

He was able to keep up with Kobe's offensive rhythm in the last game.

But in this game, Kobe's condition has risen to a new level again!

Can't keep up!

The game entered the second half.

The Spurs start double-teaming!

After Kobe holds the ball, he double-teams directly from the outside!

Kobe did not hesitate!

Crazy assist teammates!

Stephen Jackson took the lead in hitting a three-pointer!

Next comes the little fish!

It rained three points on the Lakers!

In order to prevent Kobe from attacking Duncan directly, the Spurs destroyed the entire perimeter defense system!

The Lakers' shooter was obviously online this time.

With a wave of 35:21 in the third quarter, the Lakers directly opened the score to nearly 20 points!

In the final quarter, Duncan tried his best, but to no avail.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs returned to normal defense, and Kobe continued to play unparalleled!

Kobe scored 46 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

Duncan scored 40 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 116:105!

Defending their home court, the Lakers tied the score at 1:1!
