Chapter 397 victory or defeat
Marc Gasol has the elegant personality of a European player and will not easily quarrel with the coach.This time he was slightly dissatisfied with the offensive and defensive tactics, and it was difficult to turn over the game. When he was in a bad mood, he argued with the head coach.
David Fizdale was originally an assistant coach of the Heat. He didn't have any team leadership achievements in the Grizzlies, and naturally he didn't have enough credibility.Being refuted by the head star, he didn't think of what to say for a while, so he kept quiet.
Conley and Zach Randolph are Grizzlies players who have fought side by side with Marc Gasol for a long time. They quickly stepped up to speak and mediate from it, so as not to make the scene embarrassing.
David Fizdale walked down the steps and said: "Boys! Don't be discouraged even if you lose this game, we still have the initiative to compete for a playoff spot, and as long as the Lakers can beat the Pelicans , then our loss this time can be ignored. Given the current strength of the Lakers, it is very difficult for the Pelicans to beat them, so I hope you can be patient. Now that this game has been played like this, the final After more than ten seconds, I calmly accept the result and prepare for the next tough battle."
The Lakers have a 6-point lead, but they did not relax at all. After returning to the court, they still showed super defensive strength, blocking the Grizzlies from scoring.But Carter continued his magic, scoring a super long three-pointer against Xu Tian's defense!
99-96, 7.6 seconds!
Scott didn't expect the Grizzlies to score. Out of caution, he quickly called a timeout, replaced Josh Smith, and replaced him with Nick Young, who was better at free throws, preparing for what might be the last offensive round of the game. .
David Fizdale didn't expect Carter to score a three-pointer, then set up a quick foul, and then fought for a few seconds of attack time.When the timeout was nearing the end again, he called Marc Gasol to his side, explaining that the action just now was because he wanted to pursue victory. After getting Marc Gasol's understanding, he asked him to interfere with the Lakers' serve players and try to create a victory. The opponent's serve is a five-second violation.Only then will they have a chance to tie the game.
Xu Tian thought of this, and in order to win the game steadily, he took the initiative to stand on the sideline of the front court and let him serve the front court.
David Fizdale saw Xu Tian standing on the sidelines, knowing that his wishful thinking was about to fail, so he had no choice but to watch the progress of the game.
The Grizzlies focused on strengthening the defense of George, Kobe and McGee, and took relatively little care of Nick Young.This gives him room to catch the ball.
Nick Young came out, received the serve from Xu Tian, and wanted to run with the ball to avoid the Grizzlies player who wanted to foul, but Carter's reaction was very fast, and he completed the foul in almost two seconds.
The referee blows his whistle and sends Nick Young to the free throw line.
The free throw was not immediately executed.The three referees walked to the technical stage, checked the final remaining time through playback, and returned to the watch for 0.4 seconds, making the game 5.9 seconds left before the end.
Nick Young sat on the bench for a long time, and missed two free throws by accident!
David Fizdale regretted saying something that meant giving up too early, but the flood was already unstoppable, so he could only call a timeout and carefully arrange this offensive round.
Holding the towel with both hands, Xu Tian carefully recalled the scene just now, looking for what he did not do well on the defensive end, but he did not find any mistakes after recalling for a long time.Perhaps this is the NBA, even if the perfect defensive choice is made, there is still no guarantee that it will be able to defend.
The director pointed the camera at Carter, who was focusing on the basket in the frontcourt. The bottom of the screen showed his performance on the field, shooting 10 of 9 shots, scoring 23 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.If it wasn't for his unexpected outburst, the Grizzlies wouldn't be able to last this time.
Marc Gasol stands on the sideline, takes the ball from the referee, lifts it up with both hands, and looks for a teammate who runs to the top of the arc.
Conley finds the space first, but it's just a cover to attract the defense, trick the defender into him, and create an advantage for the real receiver.
Xu Tian predicted in advance that the Grizzlies would look for Carter, pretended to chase Conley, turned around when caught off guard, and intercepted the pass from Marc Gasol to Carter.
The core star of the Lakers saved the team again.
Carter hurried to chase Xu Tian, fouled him, and sent him to the free throw line.
Xu Tian's mentality and shooting stability are much better than Nick Yang's. He made two free throws and made all of them!
101-96, 3.1 seconds!
David Fizdale didn't know if there would be a miracle, so he didn't dare to make a judgment lightly, called a timeout, and arranged a simpler catch-and-shoot.This time, he handed over the offense to Marc Gasol.
The Lakers focused their defense on Carter and asked Xu Tian to follow him closely without giving him any space to catch the ball.Carter seems to be only 20 years old tonight, which really caused big trouble for the Lakers.
At the end of the timeout, the Grizzlies had no more options for attacking. They had to make a quick shot to get an offensive opportunity.They only have one timeout left and need to choose carefully.
Zach Randolph stood on the sideline of the front court and served the ball. It seemed that he wanted to hand it over to Carter, but it was actually a cover-up. According to the coach's arrangement, he passed the ball to Marc Gasol at the top of the arc.
Marc Gasol is quite tall, so he doesn't need any fake moves, and he shoots directly when he catches the ball.
The basketball flew into the air and made a magical hit!
101-99!
Only 1.2 seconds left!
Xu Tian signaled Scott not to call a timeout.The Grizzlies only have one timeout left, and they definitely want to use it to arrange the last offense, so the Lakers need to use up this time.
Kobe has rich experience, stepped out of the bottom line to serve, and passed to Xu Tian with a high lob.
Xu Tian didn't wait for the Grizzlies to run over, and directly threw the ball into the air, turning himself into an off-ball player, preventing the Grizzlies from making fouls.
When the final whistle sounded, the Lakers experienced more than a dozen seconds of blackout, made it through with difficulty, and won the game.
Tony Allen pulled in a foul, but the final effort went nowhere as the final whistle blew.
Marc Gasol stood where he was for a moment, quickly walked out of his depression, and high-fived the Lakers players who came to him.
This is likely to be the last time Kobe played against the Grizzlies as a player, and they still have to give enough face.
The fans at the Staples Center were very excited to see Kobe and Carter hugging and chatting, and once again applauded the two who played well in this game.
George stayed for interviews on the sidelines, while the rest of the players returned to the home locker room through the player channel.
Xu Tian didn't have an interview task, so he went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then changed into his usual clothes.His clothes are Li Ning sportswear, which gives him a rare youthful atmosphere.
If it wasn't for his boundless energy, Xu Tian himself would sometimes forget that he was only 20 years old.
