Chapter 166 victory or defeat

The Lakers players stood in front of the bench, watching the basketball bouncing on the rim in still motion, worrying about the prospect of the game.

Kobe still maintained the posture when the ball was shot, looked sideways at the basket, and waited for the basketball to give the final result.

After the ball stopped bouncing, it turned a few times and fell into the net bag just as it was set.

The referee did not give a valid penalty for the goal for the time being, but walked to the sidelines to see if Kobe's shot was overtime.

Kobe has experienced a lore overtime this season, but this time, it's completely fine.Slow motion showed that when the ball left Kobe's finger, there was still 0.2 seconds left.

The referees watched the video three times repeatedly, and immediately issued a penalty-Kobe's lore was valid, and the game was over.

The Lakers 139-137 Warriors, it is difficult to win the away game!

Seeing the referee's gesture, Xu Tian let out a long breath, clapped hands with Klay Thompson standing beside him, and exchanged words of encouragement that hadn't passed through his brain.

Curry was full of respect for Kobe, and he didn't let his depression last for too long. He took the initiative to walk over to give him a high-five, and exchanged views on the current situation and Kobe's decision to retire.

George was in charge of ESPN's courtside interview, took the towel handed by the caddy, and simply wiped his sweat before starting the interview session.

Xu Tian was left behind by CCTV reporters who walked into the venue ahead of time, talking about all aspects of the game and the chemical reaction with Kobe.

All the sports media are well aware of the hot spots of tonight's game, and put the news of Kobe's lore and the Lakers' victory on the front page, which immediately attracted rare traffic.

Topics about this game on Reddit are constantly being sent out, generally discussing Kobe's lore, Xu Tian's triple-double with 42 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, and occasionally some people discuss Curry's 11 three-pointers.

Satisfied, Alice turned off the TV, and returned to the bedroom listlessly in her slippers. Just lying on the bed, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The scene in Oakland is much more lively than that in Los Angeles.

Xu Tian kept the bracelet commemorating Kobe's comeback, and the two bracelets he wore were given to the fans next to the player tunnel again, and it was Yang Cheng's daughter who got these two bracelets.

After the Warriors players returned to the locker room, coach Steve Kerr called them together and summed up the game first, "Guys, you played well, but not good enough. You have to remember, our goal It's the championship! The road to this honor is full of thorns, if we can only show the state like tonight, I don't think we can do it!"

Luke Walton stood beside Cole with his hips akimbo. He didn't particularly agree with the coach's lecture, but he didn't object.

Curry was dissatisfied with playing off-ball offense, but he remained silent, standing at the forefront and listening to Cole's lecture.

The atmosphere in the Lakers locker room was much more relaxed than that of the Warriors. Nick Young and George turned into repeaters, and kept saying "lore, lore", which made Kobe, who was applying an ice pack, couldn't help smiling.

Xu Tian got a large triple-double tonight, letting the world see his power again.But it didn't affect him personally. He had already changed into a black standard suit and was going to end the interview early and go home.

The media reporters were not in such a hurry. They hadn't interviewed Kobe tonight, so they naturally wanted to wait until the most worthwhile news point was ready before starting the interview.

George and Nick Young had a quarrel for a while, feeling a little bored, walked to the dilapidated locker and took off his jersey and changed into his personal clothes.

After Kobe applied the ice pack, he got up and changed into his own clothes, and accompanied George to the temporary interview venue set up by the Lakers.It is said to be an interview venue, but in fact, a curtain full of NBA logos was hung. Two hard-bottomed chairs were placed in front of the curtain, and two microphones connected to the audio equipment were placed on top of the curtain.

Kobe and George walked through the small passage reserved by the staff, walked to the chairs and sat down, picked up the microphone to accept the interview.

Both George and Xu Tian had been interviewed on the sidelines, so this time the reporters mainly focused on Kobe.

"Kobe, this game has only been over half a month since the lore timed out. How is the feeling of a successful lore this time different from that one?" The question was asked by a young reporter in a red dress. It can be seen that there is no interview experience.

"We lost that time, but this time it ended with a win." Kobe has been asked in recent years except for the rupture of his Achilles tendon, and the answers are basically fluent, "I have had many lore shots in my career. , but facing the defending champion is still very different, and it makes people feel more fulfilled."

The ESPN reporter asked: "Kobe, Xu got a luxurious triple-double in this game. What do you think of his performance?"

Kobe looked at the reporter, put his right hand in front of him and replied: "Xu has solid basic skills and precise shooting. With Paul and I pulling apart the defense, it shouldn't be too surprising what kind of data he gets. .”

George quietly listened to Kobe's answer, and felt that his words made sense, so he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The TNT reporter immediately stood up and asked: "Kobe, there are rumors that Xu arranged the Lakers' final attack. Is this news true? If true, what tactics did he arrange?"

"It was indeed arranged by Xu," Kobe waved his right hand slightly, and talked in a magnetic voice, "According to the arrangement, the ball should be handed over to Xu first, and I will take advantage of Paul's screen run opportunity, and then Xu will pass the ball. Me or Paul shot. But Nick didn't seem to understand, and he sent the ball directly to Paul, which completely disrupted the layout of the final play."

The Yahoo reporter then asked, "So Paul's attack at the end was unplanned?"

George was a little dumbfounded about this question, and replied: "There is no tactical arrangement that allows you to rush in and be blocked. I felt that there was not much time left, and I reacted subconsciously."

Several reporters at the interview site couldn't help laughing when they heard the blocking tactics, but they soon realized that something was wrong, and forcibly held back.

A reporter from CCTV got the chance to ask questions and asked, "Kobe, you performed very well tonight. Even so, don't you want to change your decision to retire?"

When Kobe heard this question, he restrained his smile and said, "The decision to retire is something I have thought about carefully, and it will not be changed because of my performance on the field."

The CCTV reporter took advantage of no one to ask questions, and then asked another question, "Do you have the idea of ​​playing in the CBA after retiring? You have many fans in China, and they must want to see you play on the spot."

"I know the Chinese fans love me," Kobe replied, "but my body has been overloaded, and I won't play again after I retire."

The rest of the reporters continued to ask questions, and George and Bryant responded gracefully.

Xu Tian sat in the team bus and fell asleep amidst the boring waiting.
