Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 138 I am not anyone's shadow, I am me, China is invincible!
Kobe slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, and his eyes glanced at the Zen master Phil Jackson on the sidelines.

There are less than 15 seconds left, but the Zen master who knows how to control people's hearts did not call a timeout, even though he still has some in his hand!

He was going to plant an idea in Kobe's head by not calling a timeout.

That is, although the Lakers trailed by 2 points, Zen Master felt that there was no need to call a timeout, because the ball was already in Kobe's hands, and it would be redundant to transfer the serve back and forth!
Feeling the "trust" from the Zen master, Kobe became more confident and swelled, dribbling the ball to the flank as if strolling in the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, the audience who had all stood up held their breath and focused all their energy on the No. 24 Zijin jersey on the field!
"OMG my gosh, my heart is going to jump out!"

Correspondingly, Tante was so excited that his voice changed in the commentary seat on the sidelines of the Lakers!

"God bless! I have a hunch that this goal is going to be scored!"

Worthy held his glasses, for fear of missing the wonderful moments on the court. He just commented more objectively, but subjectively he was definitely a die-hard supporter of the Lakers.

"Looking at it like this, Kobe is going to wait until the last second to make a shot, and one goal will determine the outcome!"

During the live broadcast of the sports channel, Yu Jia clenched her fists nervously.

"The Lakers trailed by 2 points at home. So many bad things happened before the game. I am afraid that only Kobe can bear the psychological pressure now!"

Zhang Weiping's eyes lit up, and he continued to shout excitedly:
"Everyone consciously opened up to Kobe! Look at this heroic pace! What is lifting weight like light! What is the posture of a great emperor! Although we are behind by 2 points, as long as I, Kobe Bryant, have a ball in hand, it is enough to determine the world! "

On the court, while dribbling the ball, Kobe was staring at Wu Di in front of him with a death stare!
Everyone pulled away, only Wu Di, like a dragon, stood between him and the basket!
Wu Di scored 46 points in this game, only 49 points lower than his 2 points!
"This ball must be hit! The idea that I am in control of the game must be implanted in this kid's heart! Otherwise, he will definitely threaten my dynasty later..."

Kobe murmured, as a master Zen master, and as two consecutive FMVPs, he has also learned some skills to control people's hearts over the years.

The strength shown by Wu Di made him feel that his dominance was threatened!

In the last game, although Wu Di scored higher points, it was more caused by the weird touch in the three-point six-game streak.

Kobe was seriously injured at the time, and Bynum was still injured, the Lakers did not show their true strength.

But in this game, Wu Di's touch can only be regarded as relatively average, and the Lakers have a complete lineup, but the Cavaliers can still fight their defending champion to the last minute!
And if according to the three principles of lore goals, the first is within the last 24 seconds of the game, the second is to take the lead when the score is behind or evenly divided, and the third is that no one will score after the lore.

Wu Di has already met two requirements, only the last one is left!
If he doesn't make a three-pointer, Wu Di will kill the Lakers tonight!

"Son, you are amazing, you are about to push my limits!"

Kobe looked at the sky with his chin, and said to Wu Di.

"However, I will use the next ball to tell you that there is still a Pacific Ocean between you and me..."

Wu Di didn't answer, and went straight to grab it!

"young people……"

Seeing him rushing forward, Kobe cursed angrily.

He glanced at the timer from the corner of his eye, and with less than 6 seconds left, he made a half-turn around his crotch, opened his feet and then blew up the ball and changed hands, pedaling on the outside to accelerate towards the penalty area!
Wu Di's eyes froze, they are now leading by 2 points, Kobe can only shoot 3 points to overtake, if he rushes in and shoots again, it will just tie the game!
This is also the reason why he just stepped forward to press. Based on his previous understanding of Kobe, he bet that Kobe would shoot a 3-point shot, not a 2-point shot!
But now, Kobe is actually rushing in!

Ma De, old Wo Dou!
This is to see that the Cavaliers lineup is too far behind the Lakers, and they want to make it to overtime!

Shameless!

Wu Di thought that at the end of the first half, Kobe scolded him for throwing the key ball, but he passed it backhand to Artest, and he became furious again, gritting his teeth to block Kobe's breakthrough route!
With his 90 super giant defensive awareness, coupled with the advantages of physical talent, even though Kobe's dribbling rhythm is at the top level in the league, he still has a chance to block successfully!

And if the ball can be defended, he can take away the victory!

Slap those Lakers fans in the face!

But the corner of Kobe's mouth was raised, and he made a sudden stop with a sliding step, connected his crotch and retreated to join the ball, and then retreated again!

Double step-back jumper and three-pointer!

"Hi, old Dione!"

Seeing the parabola of the basketball passing through the air, Wu Di swears instantly!

Swish!
The basketball made a splash in the air!
The situation is reversed instantly!

The scoreboard becomes 101-102!

Kobe used Wu Di's stunt to kill the Cavaliers!

The Staples auditorium instantly fell into a sea of ​​madness!

No one is yelling to move, everyone is celebrating the victory!

The sexy Lakers cheerleaders are all throwing bouquets in the air!
"Ahhhhhh! What a night! He did it! He did it! The 6'6" shooting guard! Rise up! Rise up! MVP of Los Angeles forever! way, the lore kills the knight..."

In the commentary seat, Tante's throat is almost hoarse!

"It's unbelievable! Kobe actually used this method to kill the Cavaliers! But it's fair to say that the most difficult part of this super step back is the dribbling rhythm and core strength to adjust posture, and these two It was Kobe who stood out..."

Worthy is also dumbfounded, Kobe has learned this trick a long time ago!

It's just that he insisted on holding it in until the last moment before using it, obviously to leave a psychological shadow on Wu Di!

This is more or less mixed with some personal grievances...

But he quickly continued to comment: "To be precise, the goal just now can't be regarded as a lore, because there are 0.9 seconds left in the game, well, less than 1 second, the Cavaliers should have no chance..."

……

"Bryant Shooting School is open, welcome, Minions!"

The corner of Kobe's mouth rose wildly, and while feeling the cheers of the audience and the enthusiasm of his teammates, he pointed to Wu Di and smiled.

Wu Di stared at him, and the eyes of death captured all his pride!
Backstab!

This is definitely a backstab!

He looked at the timer, 0.9 seconds left!
it is good!
0.9 seconds!
0.9 seconds is fleeting, but long enough to make Corvo pay the price!

He called a timeout to the referee!

One last short pause!

"Pass me the ball, wing!"

Wu Di handed the ball to Davis with an unquestionable attitude and turned to play.

Even though Davis is well-informed, he is also confused now. Zen Master will definitely double-team Wu Di later. Can Wu Di run out to catch the ball?
And Scott hasn't spoken yet...

He looked at Scott, who looked serious, but nodded anyway.

On the other side, in the Lakers player area, Zen Master was completely unaware of Wu Di's overbearing, and was still arranging defenses against the Cavaliers inside in an excited tone:
"The penalty area must be cleared! Our biggest threat is Jordan. If Davis serves, Odom should not hesitate to help Bynum double-team! Don't let him jump up in the penalty area! Gasol pay attention to jam Love position, don't let him play the pick-and-roll for Jordan..."

"If Gibson serves, Odom marks Davis, and the old fish interferes with Gibson's serve. In less than 1 second, they are not very good at fast break. Jamison and Parker are injured again. It will be more difficult later. Make a decent attack..."

Kobe frowned:

"Coach Mayfair, you missed Wu Di!"

Zen Master was taken aback. He didn't specifically explain how to defend against Wu Di just now, but he also didn't specifically explain what Kobe needs to do.

In fact, his intention is very obvious, which is to repeat the old tricks, making Kobe think that he is very confident that he can defend Wu Di well.

But this time Kobe specifically asked the words "missing Wu Di", obviously he was not 100% sure that he could prevent Wu Di, so he asked him to divide his troops for support.

Zen Master admitted that he had a gamble. He bet that the Cavaliers would use Jordan or Love to break through, and he bet that Scott would not let Wu Di make consecutive key shots.

After all, at such a critical moment, even a god cannot be foolproof. Just like just now, he is not 100% sure that Kobe will make the shot.

He just chose to trust Kobe and didn't call a timeout. This defense allowed Kobe to defend Wu Di alone, which is also his trust in Kobe.

This is the role of a superstar, carrying chips that ordinary players cannot bear, and winning victories that ordinary players cannot achieve!

But...Since Kobe asked what to do with Wu Di at this moment, he couldn't use silence to miss Michael Jordan. He encouraged Kobe with a smile:
"We'll see their starting position later. If Wu Di is inside and Davis is still serving, it means that the Cavaliers have a high probability of handing over the ball to him and running out to shoot. At that time, Lao Yu will help you double-team! Others Under the circumstances, you have to defend against Wu Di alone!"

beep!
The horn sounded at the end of the timeout, Kobe hesitated to speak, and there were 0.9 seconds left in the game. The Cavaliers are indeed the most suitable for alley-oop tactics when they are not weak inside.

But that's Van Gundy's team style of play, which is completely different from the Cavaliers' style of play!
The problem is Wu Di!

Kobe has a unique insight. Although Wu Di passed a lot to his teammates, the number of assists in this game reached 13, and many of his shots were not good.

It seems to be an extremely calm team style of play, but in essence it is a dictatorial style of play that is more independent than a lone wolf!

The lone wolf style of play is to control the ball, and the dictatorial style of play not only controls the ball, but also controls teammates and tactics...

Zen Master still has some stereotypes about Wu Di. In his mind, he probably thought that Wu Di was just a rookie who had to obey Scott's arrangement, but in fact, whoever arranges it doesn't matter...

He even had a bold guess that Wu Di's current status in the Cavaliers is even worse than his status in the Lakers.

This is to grasp the historical opportunity. If a player can lead the ruined team to complete the reconstruction in the middle of the season, rush from the bottom of the forecast to the top five in the division, and lead the best rookie list, get the best rookie of the week, and sign an epic endorsement contract...

No matter how high he is in the team, it is justified, no matter what skin color he is!
In short, don't ask Kobe why he understands, but Kobe just knows that this ball will definitely be handed over to Wu Di to end it!

Kobe picked up the sweat-soaked jersey with his mouth. This is a coup that the old Bryant taught him to stimulate physical fitness when he was a child. He will use this "ancient" ritual to make final preparations!

Coming to the field, Davis stood on the left sideline, ready to serve in the frontcourt, and Wu Di's starting position was on the inside!

Kobe's eyelids twitched instantly, it's coming!
He and Fisher looked at each other, the latter rolled his Adam's apple, and stood directly in front of Wu Di, while he stood beside Wu Di.

The Staples Center is still surrounded by loud noises, but Wu Di's world is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop, and so quiet that you can hear the rustling of Kobe's clothes!
His soul seemed to be separated from his body, like a fast-running supercomputer processing the information that was constantly pouring in!
Just as the referee Foster was about to hand the ball to Davis, Wu Di started it ahead of time and swept it directly towards the bottom corner!
The old fish was thrown away for an instant, but Kobe followed closely!

Although the ball was too extreme, even if Wu Di caught the ball, it would be difficult to make a shot, but Kobe still tried his best and didn't let Wu Di catch the ball at the beginning!

When the two came to the bottom corner, Wu Di turned back suddenly, caught Kobe's body, and then used his dark force to trap him and bump into the old fish who was chasing aside!
"Go away!"

Kobe had suffered from Wu Di's move before, he never wanted to fall twice in the same pit and yell at Lao Yu directly!

The old fish was so frightened by Kobe's roar that he lay down on the ground, and Kobe took a step!
Davis's eyes were fixed, Kobe was not out of position at all, and Wu Di was already out of the three-point line, should he pass it to Jordan on the inside...

On the Cavaliers bench, Sessions bit his teeth on the towel, Jamison clenched his fists despite his sprained fingers, and Pike felt that the team doctor seemed to be choking his neck instead of massaging his neck , and feel unusually dry mouth...

"Ball here!"

Wu Di roared, and Davis almost subconsciously passed the ball!
Wu Di caught the ball without hesitation and pulled it out!
0.9 seconds!
In less than 1 second!
Any postural adjustments will be lost!

Any hesitation will ruin the game!
Any aiming is superfluous!

Only shooting habits!

Only the will to fly!

Only revenge instinct!

He's going to shoot Corvo!

Shoot into the old Wo Dou!
In his mind, the flying badge shimmered!

Jump shot ability +20%!

The jumper index instantly becomes the best!

beep!
Almost at the same time, the beep sounded for the end of the timer!

呲!
Corvo lightly brushed the basketball with his fingers!

But it didn't work!
Because in Wu Di's mind, the system's prompt sounded:
【Ding! ! !It was detected that the host scored +3 in the game against the Lakers, and the wealth value was credited, +60000 US dollars! 】

Swish!
The splash of water in the air was like a silent bomb, and Staples, who was originally noisy, stopped in an instant!

Only the beep of the end of the game is still echoing!

Kobe stared at the big screen in the air, and the live director was playing back the moment of Wu Di's shot frame by frame!
Wu Di's jumper index has reached 100, and with the blessing of the flying badge, it has even reached the terrifying "***" level!

Although the time is only 0.9 seconds, it is enough for Wu Di to pull up neatly after receiving the ball, stretch his body in the air, push the ball to the highest point and press his wrist to shoot!

If Kobe's jump shot is picturesque, then Wu Di's jump shot is that painting!
The numbers on the scoreboard became 104-102!

The Cavaliers' away challenge was successful!

The Lakers lost all against the Cavaliers in the regular season!
Kobe's face was livid, and Wu Di's counter lore made his double step back lore become the background board!
He gave Wu Di a hard look with all his strength, and walked towards the player tunnel without looking back!

Wu Di stared at his back with sharp eyes, everything was said without saying anything!
Only then did the Cavaliers' bench react, and Sessions took the lead in rushing up with his towel shaken like a helicopter propeller!
"we won!"

At the Lakers commentary seat, Tante cried into tears, but Worthy said with emotion:
"What a wonderful game! Until the last second, no one knows the final result! Tonight belongs to the Cavaliers, to Wu Di, and even more to the Lakers! We want to thank our opponents, the series is not over yet, anyone who can't kill us Everything will make us stronger, and any setbacks will not affect our forging Zijin supremacy! In short, the blue sky will eventually float five words, the Lakers championship!"

……

In the locker room after the game, in front of Wu Di, the microphones of the reporters were once again arranged like sunflowers:

"Emperor! Can you share with us how you achieved the kill in 0.9 seconds?"

"God of lore, how does it feel to kill the Lakers and Kobe?"

"Wu, what motivates you to play the whole game? Is it the provocation of the Los Angeles people before the game?"

"L.A. Terminator, Kobe Bryant has already shouted that he wants to avenge you in the finals. Do you have any response?"

"For Kobe to use your signature super step-back and hit a three-pointer at the last minute, does this ball affect your subsequent state?"

"Wu, I can see strong shadows of Jordan and Kobe from you. Will your next goal be to dominate the league like them?"

...Wu Di asked a few questions and simply pretended to be aggressive. No, he answered briefly. Finally, he looked straight, picked up his sneakers with Chinese characters printed on them and said:
"I am not anyone's shadow, I am me, China is invincible!"
