Chapter 532 Black Mamba's Three Combos
Although they also chanted slogans before going on the court, the entire Lakers team was still a little confused. When everyone walked on the court, their spirits were obviously low.

57 seconds, 9 points behind, how many opportunities does the Lakers have?
Not to mention that the Pacers were originally a strong defensive team. Even for an ordinary team, it is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to chase 57 points in 9 seconds.Don't think why "McGrady time" and "Miller time" can appear easily. Among the countless games in the NBA, there are only a few games. The probability is so small that it is no easier than winning the lottery.

So the slogan was shouted, but it looked more like "formalism" and more like "going through the motions". I didn't really feel that the Lakers could reverse and win.After all, Mike D'Antoni was right. Basketball is a competitive sport. If you lose, you lose. It's not something you can change just because you don't want to.

However, this game was not a simple failure.

If they lose, the Lakers will completely close the door to the playoffs this season.

There is no gap at all.

"Boy Dongfang, you are very strong, I admit it, but you can't win tonight." Hibbert said to Tang Qian on the stage, and he was obviously speaking as a winner.Tang Qian wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he found that there was no force at all.

Saying it is in vain.

In competitive sports, everything must be based on victory, and the loser will only be humiliated even more if they confront each other.

This is the reality of the sports world.

Because they feel that they are sure to win, the Pacers' defensive lineup is obviously a little slack, not as concentrated and tight as the previous few minutes.This fell into No. 24's eyes, making his heart like a poisonous snake suddenly burst into pure cold blood.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals.

Kobe didn't intend to pass the ball anymore, so he took the ball directly from the backcourt and started to advance to the frontcourt.

George Hill is guarding him up front.

George Hill claims to be able to "single-change" Leonard's defensive perimeter. Although this is only a semi-joking nickname because of "trading issues", George Hill's defense is definitely tough.

Not as good as Kawhi Leonard, the super perimeter defender behind him, but he is also a defensive player from the Spurs. When the Spurs traded him for Kawhi Leonard, a pure rookie, there was a lot of scolding.So it's true that it's not as good as Leonard, he's good defensively, that's true too.

I used to be in the Spurs, and I had a hard time with Kobe. There is a classic close-up photo of pointing at Kobe.

But now in the eyes of No. 24, there is no George Hill at all, not even the entire Pacers team.

In his eyes, only the basket.

This may have been a joke, but on this night, it became a compliment.

Yes, the Black Mamba only sees the basket.

He is very tired now, so he can only see the basket.

George Hill originally wanted to defend a wave to add a little sparkle to the game, but soon, he was stunned.Kobe dribbled in front of and behind him, pulled up and made a hard shot.

There is no intention of doing fake moves or tricks at all, just dribbling the ball, taking off and shooting.

It was as if the George Hill in front of him didn't exist at all.

hateful!Are you too contemptuous of people?Do you think you are still Kobe 10 years ago?
George Hill's basic defensive skills are very solid, not to mention how outstanding, but they are stable enough, coupled with a long wingspan, allowing him to face Kobe without too much lack of physical hardware.Anyone who watched the Lakers in the 2012-2013 season knows that Kobe's physical fitness has declined greatly compared to his peak period, so George Hill's interference is still timely and effective.

"Kobe made a 3-pointer suddenly, George reacted quickly, and he also took off in the next second. The ball interfered, and Kobe... Oh~No~ Kobe still made this 3-pointer!" The Pacers team commented on the spot The clerk said loudly, the turning voice made people seem funny.

77-71, Kobe helped the Lakers get back a 3-pointer.

After the goal, Kobe didn't return to the defense immediately, but stared closely at the Pacers' ball handler, and then... led the defense all over the court!
In the case of rapid physical consumption, No. 24 still chooses to lead the defense? ? ?

Seeing this, Mike D'Antoni and the entire Lakers team were surprised, and then moved.

Is this an attribute of paranoia by nature?

Really... really envious!

Tang Qian was infected by Kobe's actions. As I said before, he is not the kind of person who is born with outstanding spiritual attributes. He is just an ordinary person, regardless of his previous life or this life.But he has one advantage, that is, he is good at learning and absorbing.

Whether it is skill, spirit, or will, when he sees something excellent, he will "swallow" it vigorously.

However, the Pacers' ball handler was still very stable, and was not intimidated by Kobe's overall defense. He dribbled the ball smoothly and passed his own half.

"Defense! Everyone cheer up and defend!!!"

Tang Qian, who was standing under the basket of the Lakers, suddenly yelled loudly, which shocked all the members of the Lakers.

The body gradually began to function again.

But the defensive strength is still not enough, and it is still not enough to resist the Pacers' overall offense.Moreover, the Indians seemed to see Kobe's defensive determination, so they cleverly avoided his edge and chose other points to attack.

Nonsense, the Lakers' defense is so bad this season, and they have no chemical reaction and tacit understanding. Why do they need to find a harder point to break through?
Anyone who finds an outside line can easily get in.

After being hit by Kobe, George Hill got the ball, and his opponent in this round was Steve Blake.The former made a feint, successfully swayed Blake's defense, and then rushed into the Lakers' three-point line.It can be seen that just a three-pointer and a loud roar are far from enough to stimulate the Lakers as a whole.

At least Steve Blake's defensive toughness and determination have not yet returned to normal levels.

Still down.

Fortunately, George Hill chose to throw the ball high from the inside, and then... Tang Qian jumped up high and grabbed it down!

That's right, it's not a cap, it's a cap grab!

Being...captured?Is this guy's defense so terrifying? ? ?

George Hill was a little confused, because the high-throw shot was already a way to avoid the inside block, but it was finally terminated by No. 29. This deterrent effect surprised the rest of the Pacers.

But someone from the Lakers, regardless of so much, saw Tang Qian's successful defense, immediately opened his hands for the ball, and then pushed forward with all his strength.

"Defend! Defend! Follow Kobe! Don't let the Lakers play a fast break!" Pacers coach Frank Vogel stood on the sidelines and issued orders loudly.His vision is still very accurate, and he can see the offensive determination of the Lakers No. 24, but he is not too worried in his heart.

Because the Pacers team on the field is a team he built with his own hands. The defense is strong and will never be inferior to any strong team in the league.

Not even self-effacing, Frank Vogel believes that even the Grizzlies are not as strong as the Pacers' defense this season.

Because the Pacers have tough defense in every position, unlike the Grizzlies, they still have obvious positional shortcomings.

Just the reason they account for a "Little Gasol" season breakout.

So under normal circumstances, it is not difficult to watch Kobe and press the Lakers' defensive counterattack.

Without Nash as the backcourt engine, the entire lineup is "aging" seriously. If the Pacers can't hold on, even if he has been teaching for nothing in the past few years, he has devoted all his efforts in vain.

Sure enough, the Grizzlies held down Kobe's defensive counterattack, and the time passed by every second.

Kobe glanced at the time, forced a breakthrough, and prepared to rush past George Hill's close defense along the sidewalk.

But it may be because his physical fitness has dropped too much, his breakthrough speed is not fast, and he is closely followed by the latter.

Kobe gritted his teeth, made a rhythm change, and then kicked the ground vigorously again, breaking George Hill's top arc defense.

This time, the referee announced that George Hill had made a defensive foul, but because there was no shooter action, the Pacers did not have a full number of fouls in this quarter, so the ball became a frontcourt sideline ball.

Kobe shook off the sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath, and then started to run wildly.

This is quite useful in the sideline ball with a tight defense, but it is also a big drain on physical fitness.

But at this juncture, the Lakers have no way to go. They have no one else who can withstand this huge pressure and force a key shot.If Nash is there, or even the "heartless" Metta Shiping is there, they can share this task.But Jamison and Steve Blake, they lack the guts, nor do they have the ability to withstand pressure.

Therefore, almost the entire Bankers Life Arena knows who the Lakers will receive the ball.

Who will execute the key shot.

The two kept spinning, entwining, and clinging to Kobe, which made it very difficult for Paul Gasol, who was standing outside the sideline.

But the NBA has rules. If you can't throw the ball into the court within 5 seconds, you will either call a timeout or be called a 5-second violation.When there were only 2 seconds left in the time, Tang Qian suddenly stood up, mentioned beyond the three-point line, raised his hand and said loudly: "Pass the ball to me Paul!!!"

This shout was very effective. At least for a second to half a second, Tang Qian successfully attracted the Pacers' defensive attention.Kobe took this opportunity to get rid of it, and then quickly said: "pass~"

After playing with Kobe for so many years, Gasol subconsciously passed the ball in an instant. As for Tang Qian, he didn't consider it at all.

However, the basketball entered the field successfully, avoiding the 5-second rule, but the Pacers' defense also reacted. George Hill and Lance Stephenson quickly caught up, trying to pinch Kobe, making it impossible for Kobe to shoot. .But what is surprising is that No. 24 still made a shot.

He resisted the defense of two people, leaned back a little, and made a strong three-pointer.

In terms of the difficulty of shooting, Kobe is really in the league, and no one can match it.

Even Chicago's No. 23 publicly said that Kobe is the best in terms of difficult shots.

The head coach of the Pacers was also stunned for a moment, but soon he returned to normal, thinking, so what if you make a move?In this case, how much hit rate can you maintain?Saying 2 Cheng is an exaggeration, right?
As long as this goal cannot be scored, in this game we will...

brush~
"Go in, go in! Kobe made a very difficult three-pointer! He helped the Lakers regain 3 points again!"

"The difference between the Lakers and us... is 3 points!"

77-74, this is the mood of the Pacers on-site commentator, it is very unbelievable.

in? ? ?This can enter? ? ?The head coach of the Pacers, Frank Vogel, was stunned, because he was still thinking in his heart that it was absolutely impossible to go in.

In such a dazed effort, he actually forgot to call a timeout for the Pacers!

After this game, Frank Vogel directly shouted that he helped the Los Angeles people!
so amazing!This can all be put in! ! !This number 24 is really amazing! ! !

Different from the lore, this kind of consecutive key goals is shocking, because the former is a "one-shot deal", and it is a one-shot to score or not.But the latter requires a strong feel and self-confidence to continue. It looks less glamorous than the former, but the difficulty may be even better.

A season in the league is not uncommon.

But such consecutive key shots are very rare.

Tang Qian didn't expect that Kobe could really make two consecutive three-pointers.

This... there is still hope!There is still hope!There is still hope!

Not only Tang Qian's voice, but also Mike D'Antoni's voice off the court, only three points away, 27 seconds left, who said there must be no chance?

3 points and 9 points are completely different in nature on the basketball court, especially at the last moment.

The collective morale of the Lakers suddenly improved, but the Pacers were a little dazed, as if they hadn't recovered.

"Defend this ball! Defend it! We can win! We can reverse!!!" Tang Qian stood on the inside of the Lakers and shouted loudly. Unknowingly, he began to enter some kind of Lakers in the core role.

The Pacers handed the ball to their new core, Paul George. Since replacing Granger, this young No. 3 has been promoted by the team's management and coaching staff.And George lived up to expectations. Compared with Granger, he has a more balanced offense and defense, and he is a player who fits the style of the Pacers team.

Even though he is only in the third grade and only averages about 3 points per game, his ability has been recognized by the entire Pacers team.

As for the recognition of the entire league, it is only a matter of time.

This ball, hand it over to him, and take full control of it.

PS: I believe everyone has guessed the source of this game. It is the 2012-2013 season, Kobe's magical three-pointers, and the game that killed the Raptors in the final overtime.Xiaozi was lucky enough to watch the live broadcast of this game. Even if it wasn't Comey, she almost dropped the cup in her hand~
At the final peak, the strength of the Black Mamba is still there.
