Chapter 517 The Spirit of Generation 96
118-116, the Lakers once again regained the lead through Tang Qian's empty dunk.

But 31 seconds before the end of the game, the main point guard of the Lakers, No. 10 Steve Nash, fell to the ground.

Gary Vitti ran up to take a look, his face darkened, and he said, "Steve, your right ankle is not in good condition, it's probably..."

"Maybe the ligament is torn?" Nash resisted the pain in his right foot and said, "It's okay, I already expected it."

"Not only that, your right knee doesn't seem to be in good condition either, and some redness and swelling appear, but the specific situation can only be determined after a closer inspection in the locker room." Nash nodded without much fear Feeling, because he has been playing basketball for a long time, so long that he has become an "old bone", so even if he is reimbursed for the season, he can accept it calmly and will not worry too much about the future.No. 10 of the Lakers was carried on a stretcher. Before leaving, he glanced at No. 24 and said with apology, "Bryant, I'm sorry I can't stay on the court any longer. I'll be counting on you, please. "

Kobe nodded seemingly calmly. He didn't say much, but in Steve Nash's eyes, it surpassed passionate words.The latter also nodded his head, and then fell on the stretcher just like Li Tuo.

Without warning, the Lakers lacked a general, and he is also the most important part of the entire Mike D'Antoni system.Now, the bonder who bonded "F4" is gone. Not only is Mike D'Antoni's tactical system about to disintegrate, but the Lakers' "Four Kings" also lost the final buffer zone.

"Steve, you..." If you want to say who Mike D'Antoni trusts the most in the Lakers and the entire league, it is undoubtedly this Canadian man lying on a stretcher.It is also because of his presence that D'Antoni has the confidence to join the Lakers and slowly implement his own system and tactics.And once Nash left, it meant that D'Antoni's strongest supporter in the Lakers ceased to exist.

He suddenly felt a sense of astonishment that the future was "dark".

Steve Nash didn't know what Mike D'Antoni was thinking. He lay on the stretcher and comforted him: "Mike, believe in Bryant, believe in Kobe, believe in Black Mamba, we will win."

After a period of "turbulence", the Lakers replaced Steve Blake, who had just returned from injury.

Although Blake plays very securely and has an accurate outside basket, he is still only a functional player and a functional point guard. It is simply impossible to replace Steve Nash in the team's position.Even under Paul's strong defense, dribbling is extremely difficult.In this way, it is natural that the Lakers became Kobe to hold the ball in the backcourt and dribble across half court.

This virtually increased the physical burden of 24, but fortunately, the game was about to end with only 31 seconds left.

But before that, the Lakers have to withstand a wave of offensive counterattacks from the Clippers.

Being reversed, no one wants to accept it, so the Clippers' ball can be described as everyone's spirit, everyone is brave, and everyone is focused, but basketball belongs to 5 people after all.Blake's defense may be slightly better than Nash's, but it's also limited, and it's more because he is younger than Nash, rather than how strong his defensive skills are.In this way, Paul turned on the strong play mode, a disguised feint, and then made a jumper from outside the three-point line.

brush~
Chris Paul's three-pointers have always been very good. It seems that his shooting rate is not as good as that of Steve Blake.This is something that ordinary empty forts can't do.

It is also one of the key factors to distinguish whether you are a star player or an ordinary role shooter.

To put it bluntly, even though Steve Blake made more than 4% of his three-pointers this season, if Kobe, Paul, Anthony, and Tracy McGrady are used as open forts, the shooting percentage may not be worse than him.It's just that it's too violent to do this, because they all have the "power attack ability" that the former type of players will never have.

For example, right now.

Chris Paul changed to a fake three-point shot, even if it opened up a certain amount of shooting space, it was completely different from the real open space.But he just throws his hand in and leaves you, Steve Blake, speechless.This is the ability of the star, the key ball and the tough ball, make you feel powerless.

118-119, with 24 seconds left in the game, Paul calculated the ball accurately, even if the Lakers scored, the Clippers still had a chance to win the game.That's why he counted the seconds before and rushed for a three-pointer.

"Great! As expected of Chris Paul! His three-pointer made our team lead again!"

As expected, Kobe went to the backcourt to hold the ball for the Lakers. Seeing this, Paul continued to put pressure on the whole court, hoping to steal the ball from the former, thus directly ending the "Los Angeles Derby" tonight.But who is Kobe?The "Lore King" of the active league has made a lot of lore shots. This situation has long been commonplace.So he pressed the time, took it easy, and used a half-back push to protect the ball, and safely transported the basketball to the Clippers' half court.

The Clippers did not switch defenses and still used Paul to mark people.

One is Paul's determination to win, and the other is that the Clippers' No. 2 position really doesn't have any strong defenders, so it's better to use Paul to top it.It's only 24 seconds anyway, isn't it?

The Lakers also know the "routines" very well, and the four sides opened up, creating enough room for Kobe to display.

Kobe glanced at the 24-second timer on the Clippers' backboard. He didn't rush to attack, but slowly consumed time in the top arc.The defender Paul didn't dare to act rashly, because everyone knew how terrible the key lethality of this guy in front of him was.

The 28 Cluth.shots in his career, that is, the key blow, belong to the lore in a broad sense, which is exactly the same as Michael Jordan, and tied for the first place in history.But in the real sense, the buzzer beaters, also known as buzzer beaters, are similar to the buzzer beater in a narrow sense. After the goal is scored, the game time is reset to zero, and there are no seconds left, not even 0.1 seconds. .This kind of goal, in Kobe's career, did not have as many as 28 times, about 8-9 times.But this number is scary enough. It is rumored that Joe Johnson has the most number of buzzer buzzers. It should be a false rumor, at least Kobe has more than 6 times.And with the arrival of Tang Qian, the trend of history has faintly deviated. Kobe had one extra lore last season, and in the future... there will only be more.Why?Let's not mention it for the time being.

But Tang Qian has a famous saying:

"Because Kobe was my teammate and Jordan wasn't."

While Paul was calculating the time and Kobe's attacking footsteps, No. 24 suddenly took off without any warning!

What?This place is still two or three steps away from the three-point line, right?Are you going to make a move now? ? ?Is there a mistake? ? ?
Paul wanted to take off to block, but there was a 15cm height gap between him and Kobe, not to mention the difference in wingspan and maximum touch height.So he missed a first step, and if he wanted to make up for the defense later, it was basically useless.

"Bryant actually took a shot from such a distance??? What is he doing??? He is gambling!!!" The next second later, there was a "swipe" sound, which made the Clippers On-site commentator Lal Frawler was speechless.

Enter?in?He actually voted in? ? ?

Yes! ! !

After seeing this scene, Mike D'Antoni, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly yelled, his expression excited.

Even though Chris Paul was mentally strong, he was a little dazed at this moment, because the opponent's attack was too unusual and unpredictable.With only one point behind and the game drawing to a close, who would choose to score three points instead of two?What's more, it's this kind of long-distance large three-pointer?This guy, what is the circuit in his head made of?
Could it be that in his mind, there is no such thing as a hit rate or a success rate?

After Kobe landed, he said nothing, as if the goal was a matter of course, and then quickly retreated back to the Lakers' half court.

121-119, the Lakers regained a 2-point lead.

Tang Qian was also confused by No. 24's attack method. He didn't expect No. 24 to be so courageous and courageous.

If there is no investment, then the pressure of public opinion from the outside world tomorrow...

This man's will and self-confidence are really terrifying!No wonder in NBA history, only Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, can stand shoulder to shoulder with him!With this move, he not only boosted his team's morale, but also hurt the opponent's morale, killing two birds with one stone!
The Clippers requested a timeout, but with Vinnie De Nagro's head, they couldn't think of any effective and feasible tactics.

It was Chris Paul himself, who forcibly calmed down, said a few cheering words, and then re-entered the game.

Kobe Bryant?Black Mamba?You are indeed formidable, you can be called a master of art and bold!However, since I am a Clippers player, I will beat you!Let LAC become the face of Los Angeles from now on!

After the timeout, in order to save offensive time, the Clippers naturally chose to serve the frontcourt, and the entire Lakers team was also eyeing, ready to try their best to destroy the Clippers' final blow!
Why are the main players always playing on the court at the last moment?A large part of the reason is that the main force's ability to resist pressure is far stronger than that of the substitute, so those who can be sent to the field at the last minute are players who are deeply trusted by the head coach.Tang Qian was very honored to remain on the court at the last moment. Mike D'Antoni did not intend to let Dwight Howard replace him.

This kind of trust moved Tang Qian slightly.

Because once he performs poorly, the head coach's employment and formation must be the first to be questioned and bombarded.

Paul still got the ball away from Steve Blake, and then he slid into the Lakers inside.

Is it because Blake doesn't work hard on defense and doesn't do his duty?No, in fact, he has already produced 100% of his defensive energy, but facing Chris Paul in the 2012-2013 season, he is not enough to watch.

"Stop Paul! Block Paul! Don't let him shoot easily!" Mike D'Antoni stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly. Looking at that appearance, he was really not as relaxed as the players on the field.

"Come on, Chris Paul, come and compete with me?" Tang Qian took the first step back to the inside of the Lakers, and then opened his arms and said to the opponent.How does Chris Paul choose?He didn't pass the ball, just glanced at it, and continued to go deep, as if he was going to have a head-to-head confrontation with No. 29 of the Lakers!And this is what Tang Qian wants most!
With his current defensive ability, even if Chris Paul wants to force himself inside, he will definitely not be able to please him. After all, the 1st position is the 1st position, and his scoring ability cannot be compared with other positions.Paul averaged less than 17+ points per game this season, and only scored 16+ points. If Tang potential inside, at least [-]% sure of successful defense.

"Paul collided with Dongfang Tang at the basket, and he shot... oh~ this shot angle is extremely bad, and it is about ten centimeters away from the Lakers' basket, Paul made a mistake!" But it has not finished. , the next moment, Tang Qian felt something was wrong, it was obviously an impossible shot, why was there still a confident smile on the corner of the opponent's mouth?He doesn't understand.

boom!
And a second later, the explosion of the Lakers basket gave Tang Qian the answer.

Looking back, who wasn't Blake Griffin hanging on the Lakers' rim?

beep beep~
And under him, the Spaniard Pau Gasol happened to be half-riding No. 16 of the Lakers.

Score plus penalty! AND. ONE!

"Use the exact words of the guy you left off the court just now." Chris Paul said: "As the No. 1 position, the whole court is my shooter!" Tang Qian looked up at the playback on the big screen, and it turned out to be a shot Empty pick up!
I still underestimated Chris Paul!
This is actually because Tang Qian has too high demands on himself, because shooting is okay, and it is really impossible for you to prevent breakthrough points.Because the ball is always faster than people, and besides, the guy in front of him is the number one point guard in the active league, and his passing skills are beyond doubt.

Griffin made a free throw into the net, swiped~, the Clippers once again overtook the score, and the audience at Staples Center was boiling.

121-122, with the last 4.7 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers called a timeout.

The tactics during the timeout, the Lakers are very simple, that is, leave it to No. 24 and hand it over to Kobe.

After the absence of Nash, the "proud disciple", Mike D'Antoni's tactical system was instantly fatigued, because obviously, Steve Blake couldn't afford his tactical operation.Therefore, Mike D'Antoni simply did not do anything, simplified his tactics, and gave the team full power to play on the 24th.

This seems to be a step of "there is no way", but in fact Mike D'Antoni did the right thing. The more critical the moment, the more complicated it is to get rid of and return to simplicity.Let's not talk about Kobe's great reputation. Although it has declined this season, it still maintains a very high position.The ball just now is proof.

After the timeout, the Clippers replaced Matt Barnes again and asked him to stick to Kobe.Paul is too short, even if he has strong defensive skills, he can't withstand Kobe's forced shot.So put on Barnes, who is 201cm tall, and let him hinder Kobe's shots.

Barnes's defensive enthusiasm is absolutely nothing to say, even Kobe, he is not afraid, in the process of serving Kobe, he entangled with all his strength, just to prevent the latter from easily receiving the frontcourt serve.But at this time, Tang Qian stepped forward and helped Kobe make a screen, and then Barnes slammed into his body wall.

"Make up defense, make up defense! I'm blocked!" Barnes yelled as soon as he bumped into Tang Qian.

Someone from the Clippers immediately made up for it. He was power forward Blake Griffin. At this last moment, there was no misplacement, as long as he could defend Kobe and interfere with Kobe.Anyway, it's only 4.7 seconds, and it will pass in the blink of an eye.

Facing Griffin, who was taller than himself, Kobe didn't even think about it, forced a breakthrough, tried his best to shorten the distance between himself and the opponent's basket, and then... made a sudden stop and stood up!

"You don't want to score goals!!!" Griffin is also a person with explosive physical fitness. Even if his "arms are a little short", he still has amazing athletic ability. He once blocked Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independence" , it can be seen from this.But in the final moments, let alone Griffin in front of him, even Bill Russell, even Michael Jordan, couldn't stop the Lakers' No. 24 shot obsession.

Emergency stop and dry pull + lean back shot.

And lean back? ? ?

Griffin also gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Anyway, for the last ball, unless it was a malicious foul, the referee would basically not blow the whistle again.This is also the basic penalty "hidden rules" of the NBA.The referee cannot decide the outcome of the game.

To be honest, Griffin's ball jumped very high, and his timing was good, but he still didn't cover the Lakers' No. 24 ball.Because Kobe increased the time spent in the air and increased the range of receding, which made Griffin's ban disappear invisible.But the problem is that Griffin dodged the block, but because of the increased air time and backward range, his body completely lost his balance.It would be fine if he was young, he could barely control it, but now, he is almost 35 years old, and it is no longer possible for him to stabilize his body.In this case, Kobe took a shot, and the moment the basketball was shot, the red light on the backboard of the Clippers was on.

Impossible to score!His body is completely out of balance!
Blake Griffin had just thought of this, and the high-flying basketball was precisely drilled into the Clippers' net.

brush~
Buzzer!

Lore!

2 points are valid!
If it was regular time, Griffin was still suspected of fouling the ball, but the game was over and the referee did not make any whistles.

The Lakers No. 24 hit the ground heavily, but the posture is still the posture of the shot just now.

There wasn't much emotion on his face, and his indifference didn't seem real.

123-122, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Clippers in the same city, and the winning streak continued!
