Chapter 534 Overtime Win
The game was eventually dragged into overtime, which was something the Pacers and Indiana fans never expected.

57 seconds before the end of the game, they were still leading by 9 points, and they were swallowed up in an instant.

And it was swallowed by one person.

Kobe's performance tonight is certainly not as magical as the "McGrady Moment" and "Miller Time", but it is also one of the most ferocious individual performances this season and even in recent seasons.To put it an exaggeration, even the players of the Lakers still feel like they are still in a dream.

"Bryant, you really, you really did a great job! It's unbelievable!" Mike D'Antoni praised and encouraged loudly as soon as he came off the court.But Kobe didn't have much expression on his face, he just sipped his sports drink while panting heavily and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, there are 5 minutes of overtime in the game, and we are not slack now. when."

"That's right, that's right, for the remaining 5 minutes, let's work together and take down the Indiana!" Mike D'Antoni was really excited. After all, he had never coached such a "superpower player" before, so he suddenly All of a sudden, he was still in a state of excitement.Lakers physical therapist Judy Seto scrambled to help Bryant loosen his muscles a little, and then the timeout expired and the two sides continued to play.

After all the Lakers players were on the court, Gary Vitti walked up to Judy Seto and asked, "How is it?"

"The situation is not good. Logically speaking, he should not continue to play, but..." Judy Seto didn't finish speaking, but the meaning in the words was already very obvious. After the "wave", it is absolutely impossible for the Lakers to replace him.Otherwise, this game is likely to be in vain.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for No. 24 to end on his own initiative.

Gary Vitti nodded, then opened his mouth and said, "Remember to give Kobe a long physical massage after the game. The Lakers will have back-to-back home games tomorrow." "Mr. Let him continue to play back-to-back games? He is the one in the team who should rest the most." How could Gary Vitti not understand what Judy Seto said, but there is no one in this world who can persuade this paranoid The black mamba?
Maybe there was old Bath, but unfortunately, he is no longer alive.

"Who can persuade him?" Gary Vitti turned and walked back to his seat after speaking.

Obviously, the Pacers collectively received a "blow in the head", and they didn't recover much until they played.

If you often participate in official competitions, no matter what level, as long as it is an official five-on-five game, you will know what it is like to be abruptly rewritten by your opponent.In terms of momentum, the Pacers began to be completely suppressed by the Lakers.

Momentum and morale are invisible and intangible, but they are especially important in competitive sports.

Don't think that professional competitions are like writing novels and watching movies. If you are not convinced, you can change the situation and morale by shouting. This is a "big" thing. How difficult is it to change?Only when you really feel the situation, can you understand whether it is easy to "change the world" with your ability.

With 9 points behind and the game ending in less than 1 minute, how many people can fight more and more bravely?If there is no morale loss, it is considered a good mental attribute. Giving up is 99% possible.Even for NBA stars, even Jordan Kobe and Larry Bird, it is impossible to forcibly reverse successfully every time. It is considered extremely strong to be able to do it in a small number of games in a season.Therefore, ordinary people are completely "little grass under the general trend". If you want to break the suppression of the "potential", you must first ask yourself whether you are capable enough.

Is courage really enough?

Talking nonsense, that is the behavior of "keyboard man".

Don't say "you do what you want", at least you have to try similar scenes and situations before you can really "get three points".

Tang Qian himself has a deep understanding. Although he didn't admit it just now, what about in his heart?How much confidence do you still believe that the Lakers can tie?Can it be reversed?Reality is often the biggest "stress devil".

You have to feel that you can do it from the bottom of your heart, maybe there is only a 1% chance of being able to accomplish this "unbelievable".

I am still far away from that realm, quite far away.

Come on, work hard!

At the start of overtime, Mike De'Anton had no other choice, because Dwight Howard had consecutive T's in the second quarter, so the Lakers can now use only No. 29 Tang Qian.So of course, Tang Qian continued to play as the main center in the overtime game and performed the jump ball task.

Roy Hibbert was not Tang Qian's opponent at all, and the Lakers easily won the first offense in overtime.

It was still on the 24th, and Kobe was still leading the overall situation. Taking advantage of the "Black Mamba" in good condition, Mike D'Antoni simply "ruled by doing nothing" and let Kobe do everything.

Kobe broke through and broke through the Pacers' outside defense with ease, and then dribbled into the inside.

Roy Hibbert wanted to block Kobe, but was thrown high by the Black Mamba, and he was immediately confused.

With a bang, the Lakers No. 29 received Kobe's pass and made an alley-oop.

The Lakers took the lead first, 79-77, leading by 2 points.

Kobe is definitely not Carmelo Anthony. If he excludes the substitute season with insufficient playing time, he will have 5+ assists in his career.This is definitely a strong average for the old-school 2 position.Don't you see that Michael Jordan has 5.3 assists in his career?Has anyone ever said that Jordan can't assist or pass?
If Kobe was the same as James Anthony in the first two seasons, the assist data would not be too ugly.

It's a pity that Kobe's life is not very good. In the first two seasons, the team has all-star perimeter pressure, and there is not enough training dominance.As I said before, the time for leveling in the first few years in the NBA is extremely important, but if there is not enough time for leveling, no matter how talented you are, it will basically be wasted. Without exception.

And beside O'Neal, even Jordan would be suppressed, let alone Kobe.

So from the starting point, Kobe is the best "inspirational idol" and the standard "struggle guide".

The Pacers missed the offense, Tang Qian protected the rebound, and then Kobe passed the ball to Gasol, and Gasol scored with an inside hook, 81-77.After being fed 2 balls in a row, the Pacers finally came to their senses. Paul George forcibly hit a 3-pointer from the top arc, which made Jamison's defense pale and weak.

81-80, the Pacers caught up with only one point.

And you must know that Tang Qian no longer has the golden defensive card bonus, so many abilities have been cut and weakened.

It is impossible for the Lakers' penalty area to be completely impregnable like the fourth quarter.

Kobe made another lob pass, and Tang Qian forced Hibbert to dunk the ball with one hand.

Kobe also discovered that this Dongfang No. 29 teammate has a very outstanding ability to cut down without the ball, so he passes the ball frequently to share his defensive pressure.This made the head coach of the Pacers, Frank Vogel, shout loudly: "Roy, didn't you have dinner? Didn't you know that you were stuck in advance? Didn't you know that you occupied the opponent's alley-oop space in advance? You cheer up Come!"

After being taught a lesson by the head coach, Hibbert also came to his senses and looked at Tang Qian with an angry face.

George broke through Jamison, then shot from mid-range, and the ball was successfully shot into the Lakers' net.

83-82, still a gap of 1 point.

Tang Qian has lost the bonus of the gold defensive card, and he can no longer radiate so far in the defensive range, so it is his current choice to consolidate the paint area with all his strength.Outside shooting, no matter how accurate it is, there is a limit, unless you are the future Warriors team.

Otherwise, if you lose under the "shooting burst", it is also time and fate.

The two sides came and went like this, and at the last 1 minute and 19 seconds, it was still 89-88, and the Lakers led by one point.

All of a sudden, the Bankers Life Arena became a collective noise, and Indiana fans stood up one after another to cheer for their home team.

Suddenly, the surrounding environment and the noise suddenly doubled.

Tang Qian is also very tired now. In addition to overtime, he played more than 30 minutes in this game. This is a bit close to exhausting his physical fitness without the blessing of ability card and rage state.Positioning strength, movement speed, cover quality, and timeliness of defense are all rapidly decreasing.The Pacers didn't notice this at first, but now, they are gradually aware of it.

The offensive area slowly shrinks towards the Lakers' restricted area.

"Paul George runs without the ball, he jumps up and shoots immediately after receiving the ball, YES~, go in again! We finally overtook the Los Angeles people!" Chris Denari, the on-site commentator of the Pacers, finished speaking. Not long after, the Lakers made an emergency stop shot on the 24th, helping the Lakers regain the lead.

91-90, at the end of the game, there were only 41 seconds left.

George Hill of the Pacers missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the basketball flew high into the midair of the Lakers' restricted area.

"Rebound!!!" The outside players on both sides shouted loudly.

This is a fierce hand-to-hand battle. Gasol's physical fitness is more obvious than Tang Qian's. His playing time is too long. He is second only to Kobe tonight and has exceeded 42 minutes.Therefore, the strength of the Spaniard's top man blocking is also weakening sharply. On the contrary, David West of the Pacers grabbed him in front of him.

Now only Roy Hibbert can stop Tang Qian and prevent Tang Qian from seizing a favorable position, and he can help the Pacers get this offensive rebound.So Roy Hibbert also worked extra hard, not giving the Lakers No. 29 a chance.But at this time, Tang Qian's summer hard training played a role. Under the instant nerve reaction, he used his excellent positioning skills and positioning awareness to break through Hibbert's blockade and successfully squeezed into the golden triangle under the basket. in the district.

However, what Tang Qian will face is still a one-vs-two situation, because Gasol is now completely pushed against the outer circle of the basket by David West's big ass, so he can't do anything Energetic.How would Tang Qian choose?Will he choose to give up?of course not!What is the purpose of the summer hard training?Isn't it for the present, for the sake of maintaining competitiveness when facing a strong enemy?
So among the nearly 2 pairs of eyes at the Bankers Life Arena, No. 29 made a wonderful performance at the basket.

What?Why is this kid's pace and movement so perfect?Why so timely?

It's like, it's like there are eyes on the back, which can block the direction of my squeeze anytime, anywhere? ? ?
Both Hibbert and David West were a little confused, but soon they stepped up their positions, not wanting to be the laughing stock afterwards.So at this moment, sparks flew under the Lakers' basket.

"It's astonishing. This Oriental center actually played one against two under the basket? Am I not mistaken?" The Pacers team's on-site commentator spoke out the inner voice of the fans in the audience.This scene is really an extremely rare scene in the NBA now.

After the end of the dinosaur era, this powerful center rebounder was gradually replaced by the 4-pointer.

But in basketball, the person who gets into the basket will always have an advantage.

Whether it's offense, defense, or rebounding.

Tang Qian felt that at a certain moment, he had found a breakthrough point in rebounding, because this feeling was something he had never experienced before.Especially when the physical energy is almost exhausted, the spirit becomes clearer.

I, I can do it!

I, I can do it! !

This rebound is mine! ! !It belongs to me, Tang Qian! ! !

The three jumped at the same time, and then the big yellow hand touched the orange ball first.

"Kobe, catch the ball!" After Tang Qian got the ball, he immediately threw it to Kobe Bryant who was waiting on the outside line. In the inside line of the Jazz, and then... a two-handed dunk, which made George Hill's defense fall short.

Not only that, he also earned a chance to add a penalty!

The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became cold.

Because a 2+1 at this time is really bad for morale!

The audience in the front row tried desperately to interfere with Kobe's free throw, but it was useless. Now Kobe has entered a cold-blooded state, and his eyes are only on the basket.

The additional penalty was also hit, and the Lakers finally expanded their lead at the last minute.

In the end, there was no way, the Pacers called a timeout, Paul George failed to shoot, and the basketball was caught by Tang Qian again.In desperation, the Pacers could only choose to force a foul, and then sent the Lakers No. 29 to the free throw line.

Bang~
Missed the first free throw.

The entire Lakers team patted Tang Qian's butt, then Tang Qian took a deep breath and made the second free throw.

brush~
goal~
The Lakers finally defeated the mighty Indiana Pacers 95-90 through overtime.

The winning streak continued.

It also kept the hope of qualifying for the playoffs.
