Chapter 226
George has been exercising vigorously since he came on the court. His muscles were subjected to a huge amount of exercise in a short period of time and became extremely tense, which resulted in the missed penalty.
When the team is leading, luck seems to be on its side, and everything seems to be going very well.
Tyson Chandler passed through Cody Zeller's block, successfully won an offensive rebound, and gave the racket to Xu Tian who was standing at the top of the arc.
Xu Tian dribbled and adjusted, without waiting for the Hornets' defense to fall, he raised his three-point sword and unsheathed it!
Bingo!
59-33!
The powerlessness in Steve Clifford's heart became more obvious, numbly called the third timeout of the single quarter, and continued to adjust the offensive and defensive tactics that did not work.
The Lakers are still unchanged, and the players on the field decide the outcome of the game.
After all, Kemba Walker is the star of the Hornets. He got another chance to play, and finally competed with the Lakers.
The fans in the Time Warner Center Arena completely relaxed, changed their positions, and unreservedly supported the visiting Lakers.
Kemba Walker was full of anger, dribbled through the screen, and made a fearless free throw line, and forced a shot against Josh's supplementary defense.
59-35!
The Hornets' scoring drought was broken!
Xu Tian slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing the young and energetic Maijiji at the top of the arc, switching between fast and slow rhythms, and worshiping Buddha on the left side without warning.
Makiji was faster than Nicholas Batum, but his defensive experience was much worse. He blindly chased after him without paying attention to controlling his figure.
Xu Tian stopped suddenly and was hit by Maijiji who rushed over.
Maijiji felt as if he had hit a hard piece of pig iron. Even though he was physically strong, he was knocked back half a step.
Xu Tian's core strength is strong, and he is completely unaffected. He pulls up the open space and shoots in the mid-range.
Again!
61-35!
Kobe didn't hear the referee's whistle and felt quite dissatisfied. He retreated to the defense and communicated with the referee to express his views on the penalty.
The referee has the highest authority. He could have called Kobe a technical foul. After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't do that.Bryant was a hot star, and since this was his last game at the Time Warner Center, there was no need to make it unpleasant.
Kemba Walker headed up and dribbled again.
The Lakers' three perimeter players reacted quickly, trapped Kemba Walker in the core, and exerted hell-level defensive strength.
Kemba Walker was very disdainful of Jeremy Lin before he played. He really felt the Lakers' defense, and he also caught him blind.
Xu Tian was extremely accurate in predicting the movement of the basketball. He quickly reached out with his right hand and took the basketball into his hand neatly.
Both George and Kobe saw Xu Tian's movement, turned around and started quickly, and ran towards the frontcourt.
Kemba Walker didn't want to give the Lakers a chance to defend and counterattack, so he hugged Xu Tian directly at the waist, and used a tactical foul to prevent him from pushing back.
The referee whistled, and the Lakers made the ball up front.
Jeremy Lin sat off the court and communicated with Jeremy Lamb, telling the Lakers' perimeter defensive strength and cracking methods.
Kobe gave Xu Tian the frontcourt sideline ball, took advantage of the opportunity and ran into the court, and used George's cover to make an air cut.
Xu Tian moved sideways, looked at George, and hit Kobe with his left hand.
Kobe faced Al Jefferson who came out of the defense, leaned back to the extreme, and shot with difficulty.
clang!
Josh is in a good position, jumping on the spot and making a tip-in with his right hand.
The basketball jumped a few times on the hoop, then bounced back dramatically.
Xu Tian had reacted a long time ago, accelerated in the middle, jumped with both feet, and made a dunk through Cody Zeller's straight arm with his right hand!
The basket shook slightly and let out a feeble moan.
63-35!
Cody Zeller made a pushing action, received a foul, and gave Xu Tian an additional penalty.
The MVP shouts sounded again at the Time Warner Center Arena.
The fans feel from the bottom of their hearts that Xu Tian, who is wearing the Lakers No. 1 jersey, is already an MVP-level player.
Xu Tian relaxed his arms, adjusted to the best feel, and made a silky and smooth free throw.
64-35!
The point difference widened to 29 points!
Kemba Walker didn't dare to be reckless anymore, and split the ball to Nicholas Batum, letting him handle the ball with a taller height.
Xu Tian understood that the Hornets had only one breath left, so he was not afraid of fatigue at all, and he went online with George to pinch Nicholas Batum.
Nicholas Batum didn't stop the ball, quickly split the ball, and gave it to Kemba Walker who went down.
Kobe ignored the problem of physical exertion, accelerated his running with all his strength, took off with his back molars biting, and vigorously blocked Kemba Walker's shot.
Fans in the Time Warner Center Arena completely erupted, ignoring Kobe's status as a player on the visiting team, and cheering for him.
Kobe hadn't felt the joy that basketball brought him for a long time. He held the front of his jersey with both hands and celebrated with his signature gesture.
Kemba Walker felt insulted, stood up and wanted to provoke, turned around and saw that it was Kobe who was screaming and celebrating, his emotions disappeared instantly, and he ran out of the bottom line in desperation, and went to serve the frontcourt.
Nicolas Batum ran out of space on an Al Jefferson screen, trying to get the ball off Kemba Walker.
Xu Tian activated the blind spot of vision, quickly broke out, and intercepted Kemba Walker's serve with his right hand.
Kobe's boiling blood hadn't cooled down, and he ran forward with his head buried.
The basketball was spinning, and under the bright lights of the scene, it showed an unusually eye-catching color.
Kobe received the ball with his right hand, faced the empty basket, regained his youthful vitality, and dunked with a straight arm with his right hand.
Fans at the Time Warner Center understood that this was the last time Kobe would be here as a player, bursting out with all his energy in celebration of this accomplished player.
Scott sent Nick Young, Clarkson and Huertas to the technical stage. Such a move made fans understand that the Lakers will replace three outside stars.
Kobe made a tactical foul and took the initiative to apply for an end.
The referee did not give the ball to the Hornets players for the time being, and stopped the progress of the game to give the fans a chance to stand up.
Barkley looked at the three Lakers players who walked off the court one after another, and said with emotion: "Kobe has been in the league for 20 years. This is the last time he played here as a player. The data of 13 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists is not outstanding, but it is definitely A night to remember."
Jordan made an exception and stood up, applauding slowly with two big hands, showing respect to the "young man" who was most like him in every way.
Xu Tian took the towel that Thackeray helped hand over, put it on his generous shoulders, and applauded with the fans.
Kobe waved his hand to pay tribute to the fans who had booed him countless times, but in the end, he still saw Jordan condescending in the audience.
The eyes of the two top shooting guards collided, and a passionate spark broke out between them.
Jordan saw the desire to win in Kobe's eyes.That was something he had seen 20 years ago, and he believed that if he was standing on the court wearing a jersey now, Kobe would definitely challenge him again.
