NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

The game continued, and the Lakers served.

After Kobe received the ball, he stared at the basket with a firm look.

He dribbled the ball to find an opportunity, and suddenly, he accelerated to the left and broke through, and the defending Alian chased him closely.

Kobe made a sudden stop and change of direction, deceived Alian, and then jumped up to shoot.

However, Alian arrived in time, jumped high, stretched his arms, and tried to stop Kobe's shot.

Seeing this, Kobe was not afraid of danger, and made a difficult pull-up action in the air, avoiding Alian's block, and threw the ball.

The basketball bounced on the basket and then fell into the net.

The audience was amazed, and the morale of the Lakers was greatly boosted.

After the Rockets served the ball, Harden quickly advanced. With his outstanding personal ability, he broke through the Lakers' defense and rushed into the basket.

Under the double-teaming of the Lakers players, Harden cleverly passed the ball to Carter on the outside.

After Carter received the ball, he jumped up and shot without hesitation, and the basketball went into the net. Answer ball.

The two sides went back and forth, and the game entered a white-hot stage.

At the critical moment, Kobe showed his superstar style. He hit key shots in succession to help the Lakers erode the Rockets' lead.

The Lakers actually narrowed the score gap to 5 points when the game entered the last two minutes.

109-104, Kobe looked at the scoreboard with a firm look, and there were still 5 points left!

Tang Yu called a timeout!

Tang Yu squatted in front of the players on the court, "Next, we will play steadily. Every ball must go through Yao Ming and James. Let Yao Ming play low and James will be at 45 degrees. The rest will follow our usual tactics."

Turning his head to look at Alian, "Alian, you have to pay attention to the frontcourt rebounds and make good use of your bounce and impact! Be careful when defending Kobe, don't let him hit 2+1, understand?"

Drawing all the offensive positions of the remaining three points on the tactical board one by one, Tang Yu left the players some time to communicate with each other.

Carter said: "I will find opportunities to cut inside on the weak side to contain them. Yao Ming, you can use fake pick-and-roll with James to position or let James break through."

Yao Ming and Harden both nodded. As a player who has played in the finals, Carter is still very experienced.

Especially at this critical moment, his experience can be more reflected.

After the timeout, Carter passed the ball to Harden in the midfield, and the latter came to the 45-degree position on the left.

Bang~bang!

With the sound of muscles colliding, Yao Ming and Bynum fought each other in the paint and then moved to the low post.

Facing the defense of ‘Old Fish’ Fisher, Harden passed the ball to Yao Ming. Fisher was very experienced and immediately made a double-team.

Yao Ming raised the ball and made a fake pass to scare Fisher back.

Yao Ming knew that as the core of the team, he had to play this ball alone, and he kept backing Bynum to advance to the paint area.

Fisher saw the opportunity and rushed to Yao Ming at the moment when Yao Ming dribbled the ball. Yao Ming quickly passed the ball, and after a small jump step, he directly made a small hook to attack the basket.

This is a conventional weapon in Yao Ming’s arsenal, and the success rate is also very high. Although Bynum caused some interference, the ball still hit the basket steadily.

111-104, Yao Ming excitedly punched, this ball was scored!

Phil Jackson did not call a stop, Odom dribbled across half court, and Kobe used Bynum’s pick-and-roll to go out from the baseline.

Yao Ming couldn't defend and could only watch Kobe take a three-pointer after receiving the pass from Odom.

The Black Mamba shot out his sharp venom at this time, and the three-pointer hit the target steadily.

107-111, Kobe's eyes were emotionless, and he only wanted to win now.

"Yao Ming, defend him, don't let him shoot so easily!" Tang Yu yelled at Yao Ming anxiously on the court.

Swift was staring at Tang Yu at this time. She didn't expect Tang Yu to be so serious in directing the game.

She even murmured unconsciously, "It seems that this Tang Yu is not as useless as the rumors say."

"What did you say, Taylor? Look, Kobe made another three-pointer."

"It's okay, watch the game!"

At this time, the game time was about to enter less than 1 minute. Harden dribbled across half court. This time Yao Ming took the initiative to pick and roll for Harden.

Bynum stepped forward to delay, Yao Ming immediately went down, and Fisher chose to double-team Harden.

Harden took a step back, and the problem of inexperience was revealed. In a panic, Harden wanted to lob the ball to Yao Ming, but Kobe rushed out first.

The ball was stolen!

"Ah~!" Tang Yu couldn't help but sigh. Harden hasn't mastered the method of passing the ball from the 'pocket' yet. It seems that this should be put on his training schedule.

Fisher turned around and went down quickly, and Kobe passed the ball directly to 'Old Fish'.

Harden was chasing closely behind him.Fisher suddenly slowed down before he was about to layup, and Harden couldn't brake in time.

Bang!

After the two bodies collided, Fisher completed the layup.

"Beep~!"

The whistle sounded, and the basketball hit the backboard and fell into the basket.

And one!

Tang Yu slapped his forehead, Harden paid the tuition for this attack and defense!

The Lakers fans in the audience cheered thunderously. At this last moment, the Lakers' rich on-the-spot experience played a crucial role.

Tang Yu didn't care about the free throws, and directly called Harden to his side.

"James, you have to believe in yourself, you can do something extraordinary, I need you to respond with a goal!"

"Coach, what should I do?"

"Stephen is not here now, as the engine of the team, you have to read the game and make the most correct choice. I will not call a timeout, you can use any method to help the team win!"

"I understand, coach!

Harden called Tang Yu coach twice in a row without realizing it. This was the first time a player called Tang Yu coach, but Tang Yu didn't have time to care about it.

"Remember, if you lose, you won't be able to go to the nightclub this season! "

Tang Yu's last sentence is the key point. If he loses the bet with Taylor Swift, then you, James Harden, can forget about being the little prince of nightclubs!

Harden was about to turn around, but after hearing this, he looked at Tang Yu with wide eyes.

Tang Yu smiled and nodded, as if it was just an ordinary sentence.

Fisher's free throw hit steadily, 110-111!

47 seconds, the difference between the two sides was only one point.

Tang Yu did what he said and did not call a timeout. After Harden passed the half court with the ball, he signaled everyone to move away.

Tang Yu shouted into the court: "Do as he said!"

Everyone immediately moved away when they saw Tang Yu said so.

Phil Jackson looked in Tang Yu's direction at this time. He didn't believe that Tang Yu could give the ball to Harden to play alone at such a critical moment.

"Don't help defense, let Derek handle it himself. "Just now, Fisher had fully proved his ability to face a rookie like Harden in one defense and one offense.

There were 8 seconds left in the offensive time and 31 seconds left in the game.

Harden started, and after switching the ball to his left hand, he accelerated to break through 'Old Fish'. The Lakers' inside line immediately made up for the paint area.

Harden stopped suddenly after entering the three-point line, changed direction in front of his body, faked a shot, and then pulled back with his left hand, directly holding the ball with both hands and taking a step back to jump outside the three-point line.

At this time, Fisher's center of gravity was unstable and he almost did a big split.

"Wow!" The whole audience exclaimed, no one expected Fisher to be knocked down.

Tang Yu looked at the fallen Fisher, "I am familiar with this script! "

Harden looked at Fisher who was lying on the ground with a murderous look!

Then he looked at the basket and easily shot the open three-pointer.

'Swish', the three-pointer hit steadily, as if shooting into the heart of the Lakers.

114-110, the Rockets led by 4 points, and the Zen Master directly called a timeout.

Harden turned back and glared at Tang Yu, as if saying, 'Who dares to stop me from going to the nightclub!'

Yao rushed over from the baseline and hugged Harden directly.

"James, it's crazy, I can't believe you actually knocked him down!"

The Rockets players came over and high-fived Harden.

Walking to Tang Yu, Harden and Tang Yu high-fived.

"Well done, James, it seems that we need to go to the nightclub again when we have time."

Harden held back his smile and nodded!

I don't know if he agreed with what Tang Yu said or thought that the three-pointer just now was good!
