Chapter 110 Overtime
"Bryant, beautiful buzzer, if it weren't for you, we would have gone home now!" Mike Brown watched from the sidelines, "Little Heart" would have jumped out, not for anything else, mainly because of the battle between yellow and green The impact is too great, he can't afford to lose.

Although he has signed a 4-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, his position as the head coach is still not secure.

Without it, it is not so easy to be the coach of the Lakers. Los Angeles is a bright and bright city, and the Lakers are not short of money. This can be seen from the luxury tax over the years.But this "not bad money" also has the problem of "not bad money", that is, lack of patience.If it is said that teams in small cities can tolerate Mike Brown spending a season training the team, then the bottom line of the Los Angeles Lakers is half a season, or even shorter.If your coaching record is not up to standard and does not meet the needs of fans and management, then packing up and leaving may happen at any time.

For this, Mike Brown has long been aware of.

And the team has only played 14 wins and 11 losses so far. This kind of result is obviously not satisfactory to the people of Los Angeles. Therefore, he, the 22nd coach of the Lakers, actually has a difficult time in every game.Fortunately for other games, the "Yellow-Green War" can be said to be a "feud". Especially in the finals in recent years, the fans in the two cities have long become "enemies", and no one wants to lose to the opponent. .

If they lost tonight's game, Mike Brown would feel a headache after thinking about the "mountain roar and tsunami" after the game.

Sometimes he really admires the former coach Phil Jackson, because coaching in this environment, the test for the coach is not only at the tactical level, but also the ability to resist pressure at the psychological level is the top priority.As for him, Mike Brown, he obviously didn't have the level of a "Zen master", so he couldn't help feeling a little guilty in the face of a crucial battle.

I managed to get another head coach position, but I don't want to lose it so easily!Otherwise, I have to go to the TV station to be a guest guest and be a "little narrator" who has no sense of existence.

Furthermore, he knows that he is "unlikable" in the Los Angeles Lakers. Even though Kobe Bryant supports him on the surface, in fact, the mainland is also dissatisfied with him.After all, he was not Fei Xia's favorite candidate to join the Lakers. The latter's favorite candidate was Brian Shaw. He didn't know this.

So once the record is not ideal, then it is only a matter of time before you leave.

Unexpectedly, Kobe Bryant just nodded slightly, then walked straight to Andrew Bynum's side, and said, "You idiot, don't you understand my words??? His obvious intention to make a foul, Can’t you even see it??? What’s your head on your neck for???”

The reason why Kobe is so impatient is entirely because of the significance of the yellow-green battle.

Even if the Mavericks won the championship last year, it is still not in Kobe's vision, because he feels that if he is not injured, the breakthrough power is almost zero, and it is impossible to lose last year's series, even if last year's Mavericks really It's terrifyingly strong, and he still hasn't changed his mind.So during the offseason last year, he went to Germany to do immature PRP, which is commonly known as platelet-rich plasma therapy.So since the Mavericks are not in his eyes, who is his imaginary enemy?The answer is naturally the Celtics.

Boston Celtics.

Why Not Miami's "New Big Three"?
Because Kobe still doesn't look down on the "new Big Three" over there at all, he feels that last year's defeat will definitely stimulate the green blood in Boston, and then make a comeback.Therefore, the theme of this year's finals is still "Yellow-Green War"!
So losing to Boston is something Kobe can't tolerate!

But Andrew Bynum is different from before. In the past, when he faced Kobe's reprimand, he could still behave peacefully and nodded obediently.But now, with the continuous improvement of his abilities and the continuous soaring of his data, his temper has gradually magnified.

"Bryant, do you need to accuse me so much? Look at my statistics, 14 of 7 shots, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks. If it weren't for me, the team would have lost so much!" Andrew Bynum looked at Kobe, and spoke back directly.

"Statistics? Is your stats good enough to eat? Can your good stats help the team win?" Kobe's voice suddenly increased: "Let me tell you! Statistics are useless! Because the ultimate goal of playing basketball is not to Let you compare data, but for victory! It is for winning, do you understand!!!”

"Bryant, stop preaching to me here! I am also a man with two championship rings, so I don't need you to criticize me!" Anzhu also refuted loudly, not giving the team boss any face.

This guy has really low EQ!

Tang Qian sat aside and watched, silently making a definition in his heart.

"Ha? are.you.serious??? Are you sure???" Kobe said in an extremely mocking tone: "In 08, it's okay for you to sit on the sidelines and watch the game in a suit and leather shoes. Let's say that during the period of two consecutive championships, your What is the playoff data? 09 points and 6.3 rebounds in 3.7, 10 points and 8.6 rebounds in 6.9, how dare you say that you have two championship rings with your data???” Kobe’s voice suddenly turned sharp Said: "As far as your bullshit data is concerned, the sum of two years is not as strong as Paul's one year. How dare you speak loudly here??? Let me tell you Andrew Bynum, if I lose tonight, I will let you You look good!"

"You know I walk the talk!"

When Kobe Bryant raised his momentum slightly, An Zhu immediately became "impotent". Among other things, as far as his two consecutive championship statistics are concerned, he can't even compare with the team's sixth man, whether it is scoring or rebounding. , were all blown up by Lamar Odom.Even Derek Fisher was better than him. During that time, he was at most the seventh man of the team who played more minutes, and he really had nothing to boast about.Especially in the battle against the Celtics in 10, he was originally expected to make more contributions on the inside, but in the crucial fifth game, he played 32 minutes and only surrendered one rebound.Yes, you read that right, there is only one rebound, the same number of rebounds as Jordan Farmar and Vujacic.Faced with this "appalling" performance, the Lakers immediately reduced his playing time for the remaining two games. Until the end of the tiebreaker, he never played more than 20 minutes in a single game.

As a 7-foot big center, you may not be able to score many points, but you must not be unable to grab rebounds!
Especially in such a critical battle, you only grabbed 1 rebound, which is simply "crazy".

So since that battle, Kobe has never been optimistic about this "two-year-old boy".

"Bryant, this..." Mike Brown was also shocked by Kobe's scene, just when he didn't know what to say, Kobe turned his head and said: "Coach Brown, continue to arrange tactics, I just teach you a lesson The team's stupid.X."

"Oh, ok, ok, now that we're tied with each other, the remaining 5 minutes is to restart. My plan is Derek. Go forward to double-team, give the ball to the inside for a strong hit, or do a second pass inside and outside. In short, in this overtime game, we try to slow down the rhythm as much as possible. We don’t need to fight for the offensive ball, just fight for the success rate. That's it." After Mike Brown finished speaking, he drew a few tactical lines on the tactical board.

"Then who will play inside?" Kobe asked.

"How about Josh McRoberts? Although he is 6 feet 10 inches tall, he has a certain degree of accuracy in three-pointers from the outside. When he cooperates later, he will have relatively more options for offense." Mike Brown mentioned a Candidate said.

"No, Mike Roberts' inside line is too soft. It might be useful to play against other teams, but against the Celtics, they can only be used by the opponent to completely blow them up!" Kobe shook his head and objected.

"Well, I actually think so too, but Bryant, now that Bynum is fouled out, if we don't use Mike Roberts, there will be no other inside players to choose from. At this juncture, we have to use it." A lineup of 'one big and four small'?" Mike Brown said.

"One big and four small? No." Kobe stretched out his hand, suddenly pointed to the end of the bench and said, "We use him."

"Him? That 'Ten Days Player'?" Mike Brown looked along and asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's him." Kobe Bryant nodded.

……

"China is hot, you will play for the ball later." Mike Brown walked up to Tang Qian and said.

"I scrimmage? Let me play?" Tang Qian was slightly taken aback.

"That's right, that's it. I hope you perform well." Mike Brown actually doesn't trust yellow athletes, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only "treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor".Because Kobe Bryant is right in one point, at least this Chinese is still tall, isn't he?

Having height is better than not having height, Mike Brown thought about it and agreed.

hateful!

Josh McRoberts glanced at Tang Qian, feeling very unhappy.

"China Hot, your task later is to defend the basket, guard the penalty area, and try not to miss defensive rebounds, understand?" Kobe ordered Tang Qian before the jump ball.

"Well, I see." Tang Qian nodded and replied.

To be honest, even if Kobe didn't say it, he would still do it, because with his current scoring ability, it's okay to play dunks, but it's just a dream to play singles with the ball!

Tang Qian still has this self-knowledge.

So when Kobe said this, he immediately nodded and agreed.

"Ha~ Asian boy, you came to dance with me? Do you think you can win?" Kevin Garnett immediately threw out trash talk when he saw Tang Qian playing.

"I don't know, maybe." Tang Qian replied.

"Maybe?" Garnett smiled and said, "NONONO~ It's impossible! You will never win the ball in front of me, I promise."

"KG, don't talk too much." Tang Qian looked at the thin Garnett and said, "You are not young anymore, are you?"

"Indeed, but it's more than enough to handle you~!" Garnett declared confidently.

is it?

Tang Qian also smiled in his heart, and said, "Then come and try!"

Compared with grabbing rebounds, scrimmage is a job that relies more on physical fitness. KG, you are a 76-year-old. Am I still afraid of you?

beep beep~
Game start.

As the referee threw the basketball, Tang Qian and Garnett jumped up at the same time, straightened their arms, and shot at the basketball in the sky.

Since it is overtime, it is very meaningful to win the first attack, and it can improve the morale of the team.

slap~
In the end, it was the big yellow hand that touched the basketball first, and Kobe Bryant immediately pushed forward as soon as he got possession of the ball.

Ray Allen rushed over from the side and was about to defend, but Kobe, who had already accelerated, changed hands and flashed Ray Allen's defense, and then rushed directly into Boston's inside lane, scoring a one-handed layup.

90-88, the Los Angeles Lakers took the lead first!
"Good job." When Kobe came back, he pointed to Tang Qian and said.

"Kevin, what's the matter with you? Why didn't you get the ball?" Paul Pierce looked at Kevin Garnett and asked.

"Sorry, Paul, that kid's bullet speed is very fast, I was a little careless." Garnett shook his head apologetically.

"Forget it, Kevin, anyway, the starting center of the Lakers has been asked to leave the field. We will concentrate our firepower on the inside and we will definitely win tonight!"

"Well, leave it to me, the Spaniard can't guard me." Garnett said.

Sure enough, after switching to the Boston Celtics' offense, the basketball was dropped to Kevin Garnett who was on the inside without saying a word.Garnett stretched out his hand to catch the ball, forcefully pushed Paul Gasol behind him, and then immediately turned his right foot as the axis, stepped forward with his left foot, and turned forward to make a mid-range shot.

This trick turned around and shot, which was extremely sudden. In addition to KG's height and long arms, the bullet speed was very fast. Once it was used, the Spaniard couldn't defend quickly.After Kevin Garnett had already shot the shot, he blocked it somewhat "uselessly".However, the result has long been unable to change.

brush~
The basketball obediently entered the net, 90-90, and the two teams drew again.

Next, the teams on both sides began to strengthen their defense. For a full 3 minutes, they either hit the iron or washed the basket. In short, a single ball failed to be sent to the basket.At the critical moment, "Truth" Pierce stood up again. Although he didn't seem to be very fast, he was able to make a shot, and with a "swipe", he forced a three-pointer through Ci Shiping.

"MD! This is all in? What a ghost!" Ci Shiping, who was defending Paul Pierce, complained loudly.

"There is still 1 minute, Mehta, I will go around and help me to cover." Kobe said to Ci Shiping.

"There is less than 1 minute left in the game. Everyone, guard against Kobe and don't let him shoot easily!" Doug Rivers reminded loudly from the sidelines.

"Keep an eye on Kobe! Don't let him make key shots again!" Ray Allen was almost inseparable, sticking to Kobe, from the frontcourt to the backcourt, never letting go.

In fact, playing the Los Angeles Lakers is the same as playing the Chicago Bulls back then. Basically, people all over the world know who will stand up and who will shoot key shots, so there is no problem with the Celtics' defensive strategy.Seeing this situation, Ci Shiping, who had "greeted" earlier, moved immediately, quickly lifted it from the three-point line on the right, and stood beside Kobe.

"I want to help him with the pick-and-roll, but there is no door!" Pierce, who had been paying attention to Ci Shiping for a long time, moved closely. middle!
In desperation, Kobe had no choice but to hand the ball to Ci Shiping who was open. Ci Shiping was also a courageous master. Seeing that there was no defense in front of him, he immediately started to shoot a three-pointer.But tonight, Ci Shiping's shooting didn't feel very good, the overall shooting percentage was only 16.7%!In this state, the open three-pointer also came out of the basket and bounced high.

"rebound!!!"

The players of the Lakers all understand that they are now behind by 3 points. If the opponent grabs a backcourt rebound, then this game will almost be a foregone conclusion!
Because of the 24-second attack time, the opponent will definitely delay before making a shot. This is the "hidden rule" of basketball games.

So this offensive rebound is very important!
But throughout the overtime game, the rebounding situation of the Lakers can be said to be a mess. After KG's full power, neither Gasol nor Tang Qian can touch the shadow of rebounding.Defensive rebounds are a bit better, and offensive rebounds are almost impossible to think about, because the Green Army is guarding a "Green Devil" under the basket.If you want to get offensive rebounds, you must beat the opponent!
"Hey, kid, just because you want to grab rebounds with me? Your cultivation level is not enough!" Garnett taunted Tang Qian while getting stuck.

Damn it, Garnett's ability to protect the basket is really too good~ I feel like my rebounding in the NBDL is "calling the wind and rain".

But, this is my first NBA game~
Is it going to end in a loss~
No, no!

I want to win!
I want to win! !

I want to win! ! !

But how can we grab rebounds from the mighty KG?

Tang Qian had an idea, and suddenly said into Garnett's ear: "KG, do you remember, at the American Music Awards celebrity party that night, I saw you flirting with a California hot girl, I don't know if your wife Bu Randy knows, will he be happy?"

w, what? ? ?What did you say? ? ?
A look of astonishment appeared on Garnett's face, but before he could ask anything, Tang Qian took the opportunity to step his body forward, becoming a momentum to keep pace with Garnett.

Shi.t~ This kid is cheating on me? ? ?

Garnett is also an "old Jianghu", so he reacted immediately, got rid of distracting thoughts, and once again withstood Tang Qian, preventing him from getting another chance.

But even so, Kevin Garnett still lost a large part of his positional advantage compared to just now, and all of a sudden, physical conflicts at the basket increased.

Asian boy, I won't let you get away with it!

This is Garnett's heart.

This rebound, I must take it off!No one can stop me!
This is Tang Qian's heartfelt voice.

Seeing that the basketball fell high enough for him to touch it, Tang Qian pressed his feet and exerted a sudden force. It was like stepping on a spring, and he was lifted into the sky.KG next to him didn't show weakness either, he took half a step forward slightly, then kicked off the ground, straightened his arms, and grabbed the orange basketball high in the air.

This slightly wrong half-step forward is a super-high skill at the moment of grabbing the board. Once used well, it can turn losses into profits and quickly seize part of the body position and card position advantages.But if you want to master it proficiently, you don't have 7 to 8 years of kung fu, it is impossible to display it, and only "old Jianghu" like Garnett can adapt to the situation and react instinctively.

What? ? ?Why is he stuck in my position again? ? ?Although there is only a small part, it is indeed stuck! ! !

How did he do that? ? ?
Tang Qian was a little surprised, but unfortunately he doesn't have time to think about it now, because it takes only a second to compete for a rebound. Now that he has taken off, it means that there is no turning back. It is either victory or failure!

Oops, this rebound may be difficult to get!His card position advantage has worked!
maybe only...

Fuc. k! ! !Give up your sister! ! !This old man must grab this ball! ! !
Must grab it! ! !

when~
Vaguely, Tang Qian seemed to hear something in his mind, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it. He roared violently, and with his right arm extended to the limit, he swung it vigorously, and then fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Ball, did I grab this rebound? ? ?
The touch between his hands told him that he succeeded!
"Hot, pass!!!"

Kobe's figure suddenly appeared on the bottom lane in the left corner.

Tang Qian passed the ball immediately.

Kobe Bryant made an open shot and made a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
93-93, the two teams drew again!
Only 16 seconds left.

Boston requested a timeout.

"Great job! China is hot! A key offensive rebound!!!" Ci Shiping shouted at Tang Qian.

"Ha, haha, luck, it's just good luck, Mr. Pease." Tang Qian also said happily.

"NND, what are you still calling Mr. Pease??? I'm going to attack you for an offensive rebound, and you can just call me Mehta from now on!"

"But……"

"What else is there? Orientals are so humble and polite! This is the United States, the United States, so you have to do everything in the American way!" Ci Shiping said carelessly.

"OK, then I will remember, Mehta." Tang Qian replied.

"Ha~ Isn't that right? You'll call me that from now on! Remember it!" Ci Shiping patted Tang Qian's chest with satisfaction and said.

"Good job!" Kobe, who just made a key three-pointer, also walked over and said.

"Mr. Mamba, you are over-rewarded. It was only because of your three-pointers that we were able to tie. Mine is just a meager effort, which is nothing." Hearing Kobe's praise, Tang Qian immediately said modestly and cautiously.

"No, one thing is one thing. If you didn't grab the rebound from KG, then there would be no way to talk about this three-pointer. You deserve to be praised for this matter." Kobe finished, and said: "But tonight's game is not over yet. The so-called statistics are meaningful only if you win in the end. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Tang Qian nodded in agreement.

"Well, there are still 16 seconds, come on, Chinese boy." Kobe patted Tang Qian's arm, and then walked over to discuss the team's next tactics with Mike Brown.

"China is hot, your sex luck is pretty good!" The nunnery master also "couldn't bear the loneliness", leaned over and said to Tang Qian.

"So-so, it's better than you anyway." Tang Qian looked at Andrew Bynum and grinned.

……

beep~
Overtime, the last 16 seconds, started at the referee's whistle.

"Rajon, do you remember Coach Rivers' arrangement?" Paul Pierce asked Rajon Rondo in a low voice when he entered the court.

"Don't worry, I've remembered everything, as long as you don't make mistakes, I won't make mistakes either!" Rajon Rondo said.

"That's fine. I've worked hard all night. If I lose, I'll be annoyed!" Paul Pierce said.

Boston started to attack, but it was Rajon Rondo who broke through with the ball?

This is beyond everyone's expectations, because everyone knows that Rondo's mid-range jumper is unstable, so he has never had his share in key shots.But today...

The Lakers were caught off guard, allowing Rajon Rondo to drill in directly from the top arc, and then a master with his left hand made a successful layup.

95-93, Boston took the lead again!
"Yes!!! Well done!!! Rajan!!!" The Celtics shouted excitedly.

In just 5 seconds, Boston completed the goal.

There are 11 seconds left in the game.

According to the usual practice of NBA teams, it is very wrong to rush for time like this, and it should be consumed until the end before making a shot.But now this Boston team is known for its iron-blooded defense system, so they have the confidence to prevent all counterattacks from their opponents.

The Lakers also called a timeout and chose to serve in the frontcourt after coming up.

The arrangement of this ball was originally for Kobe Bryant, but the Celtics are very familiar with the Lakers' routines, so from the very beginning, they didn't intend to let Kobe receive the pass.Paul Gasol, who passed the ball, had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and passed the basketball to "Old Fish" Fisher, who was the second point.Why not give Ci Shiping?Because compared to charity, the world, and peace, which are prone to "convulsions" in the head, Fisher, who is used to seeing big scenes, is more secure.

But Paul Gasol ignored one person at this time, and that was Boston's PG Rondo.

Rajon Rondo's average steals per game in the first two seasons were around 2.3, which is a very scary number!And because of his height, people often miscalculate what he can actually handle.As a PG with a height of only 185cm, who would have thought that his wingspan could reach a terrifying 213cm?This 28cm height and wingspan difference is Rajon Rondo's defensive weapon, stealing, delaying, and obstructing everything!
After Pau Gasol estimated the space and distance, he threw the basketball in his hand towards Derek Fisher.

However, halfway through the flight of the basketball, Kobe stood on one side and shouted loudly: "Be careful, be careful, Rondo, Rondo!"

Derek Fisher is old after all. He was born in 74 and is close to 38 years old this year. If he uses his experience and psychological quality to make key shots, that's okay.But if you want him to compare his reaction speed with Rondobi in 86, that's really overthinking!So with a "swoosh", before Derek Fisher could fully react, Gasol's sideline pass was stolen.

And the person who stole the pass was Boston's PG, Rajon Rondo.

It's over, it's over...

The head coach of the Lakers, Mike Brown, felt cold when he saw this.

He can already smell that tomorrow, there will be "overwhelming" accusations, swarming in.

Losing the yellow-green battle, the result is self-evident.

Win~
This was Rajon Rondo's first thought after stealing the ball.

He looked up at the time. Anyway, there were only 6 seconds left, and a layup by himself could just end the game perfectly.

It's a pity that the emergence of this idea will make Rajon Rondo regret for half a season!
Because at the moment when he made a layup with one hand, a gust of wind blew from behind!
Then, under everyone's surprised eyes, Rajon Rondo's layup, which was inevitable, was nailed to the backboard alive! ! !
Pegboard hat! ! !

"Catch the ball, Bryant!!!"

With a loud roar, Tang Qian passed the basketball out against the clock.

Kobe jumped high and took the long pass from the backcourt.

And at this moment, there are 3 seconds left in the time!

"Defense, double-team Kobe immediately!" Kevin Garnett reminded loudly inside.

Paul Pierce dropped his defender and rushed to the right of the three-point line.

But after all, it was still a step too late, Kobe made an emergency stop, facing Ray Allen's face, and made a **** shot!

****Three points!

Can, can I go in? ? ?

Even in the TNT live broadcast room, everyone could feel the extremely tense atmosphere at the scene.

Can Kobe, the king of Los Angeles, bring them victory? ? ?
Kobe looked at the ball with a cold face, and said fiercely in his heart:

of course.

Of course! ! !
brush~
The moment before the red light came on, the basketball went into the basket.

Kobe Bryant, lore Boston! ! !
Los Angeles Lakers, win! ! !
