Chapter 293 The Last Moment!
After three quarters, the Lakers led the Thunder by 5 points.
Kenny Smith said: "This reflects the overall strength of the Lakers. They have more available players.
In addition to Kobe and Pau Gasol, they also have Bynum, Odom, Ariza, Fisher and many other players who can make contributions when they play.
Although the players on the Thunder team are good, they are still young and not experienced enough.
Four people like Jordan, Ibaka, Dragic and George Hill are all rookies.
In the Western Conference Finals, especially the tie-breaker, we played a bit cautiously in such crucial games.
Maybe they want to win too much, but they can't let go? "
Barkley shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with whether you are young or not. Ye Hao was also young last season. Didn't he play well?
If you don't play well, you don't play well. Don't look for reasons because of your youth.
When players play on the court, there are always times when they don't play well. "
Kenny Smith said: "Is Ye Hao an ordinary player? That's a monster."
Barkley said: "What you said is also reasonable. The fourth quarter has begun, and the critical moment has arrived."
"Well, can the Lakers maintain their lead until the end of the game and win the most crucial battle? Or can the Thunder rely on Ye Hao's leadership to come back against the wind at the last moment?"
On the court, Fisher assisted Pau Gasol to score with a hook under the basket, and the Lakers continued to expand their lead.
The Thunder trailed by 7 points.
Looking back, Durant shot from the high position on the right, hit the iron with a bang, but failed to make the shot.
Kobe made a false pass and gave the basketball to Paul Gasol, who scored a layup along the middle.
The point difference was stretched to 9 points.
The biggest difference between the two sides in this game.
Ibaka hit Paul Gasol with the ball on the left, and turned around for a jumper, which was interfered by Gasol. The ball hit the basket and rolled around, then rolled out again.
Bynum grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Fisher. Fisher drove the ball forward, and after reaching the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe shot immediately after receiving the ball and scored a mid-range jumper.
The point difference is 11 points.
Carlesimo had to raise his hand for a timeout.
"Defend! Be defensive!"
"Give the ball to Ye and let him hit it! The others cover him!"
"How many times have I said, let the ball move, let people move, don't stay still on the court."
……
Carlesimo tapped on the tactical board and spoke loudly to his players.
All Thunder players responded and nodded.
After emphasizing these, Carlesimo pulled Ye Hao aside and said in a low voice, "Ye, we are relying on you. The last moment depends entirely on your performance."
Ye Hao nodded, "Don't worry, coach, I will do my best."
"Okay!" Carlesimo patted Ye Hao's shoulder in fear, "With you here, I feel at ease. You can play freely, don't worry too much. If you really want to lose, the responsibility is mine. It's not yours. Just give it your all."
After a timeout, the Thunder attacked. Ye Hao ran out of the three-point line and received a pass from Dragic.
After he catches the ball, he immediately pulls up and shoots a three-pointer. The long-range three-pointer is still two or three steps away from the three-point line.
Kobe's lunge was a bit late and failed to interfere with Ye Hao's shooting, and he shot the basketball steadily.
"YES! YES! YES!... I knew you could do it! I knew you could do it!" Carlesimo on the sidelines waved his arms excitedly and shouted excitedly.
With Ye Hao's three-pointer, the Thunder narrowed the point difference to 8 points.
Looking back, Fisher held the ball on the outside and forced Dragic. After dribbling the ball under his crotch, he swayed Dragic, stopped and shot a jumper, and made a long-range two-pointer.
Play the role of the veteran to the fullest.
Ye Hao took the ball under the basket and slowly dribbled across half court.
Kobe clung to him and retreated to defend.
Durant moved out and set up a posture on the right side to cover Ye Hao.
Boom, Ye Hao slapped the ball to the right, shaking it quickly.
It was a feint, just to shake Kobe and make him move to the right.
Kobe's center of gravity shifted slightly, and Ye Hao immediately returned the ball to his left hand. As soon as he got short, he rushed in to the left.
Pau Gasol made up the defense and blocked it.
Ye Hao jumped, collected the ball, dodged Gasol, and followed the toss.
Score the basketball.
Director Zhang shouted: "This ball is really beautifully played, and it was done in one go."
Yang Yi said: "It was indeed a good goal! After returning from the timeout, Ye Hao started to exert his strength and scored consecutive points. He is going to carry the team on his shoulders and move forward."
The Lakers handed the ball to Kobe to advance, and Kobe dribbled from the backcourt to the frontcourt,
With the help of Fisher's cover from the outside line, he went straight to the basket of the Thunder team, rushed into the encirclement circle of Varejao and Ibaka, took off, slipped under the basket, and looked back at the moon to pick the basketball into the basket .
"Beautiful! Kobe is Kobe, no one can prevent it. This goal is really wonderful." Kenny - Smith said.
Looking back, Durant received the ball in the high position on the left, attracted Ariza to defend forward, threw the ball outside, and gave it to Ye Hao.
Ye Hao received the ball without making any adjustments. He immediately stood up, shot a three-pointer, and scored.
Barkley said: "Ye Hao is fighting against the entire Lakers team alone!"
Fisher took off outside the three-point line on the right, took a shot, and wanted to hit back, but the ball hit the iron, and it bounced out with a bang.
Durant grabbed the backcourt rebound and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Ariza chased Durant to the backcourt.
Ye Hao followed from the other side.
Durant drove the ball into the three-point line and went straight to the basket.
Ariza chased after him, and when Durant jumped up for a layup, he also jumped up and waved to block the shot.
The basketball didn't cover it, but Durant didn't score the goal either.
"Oh, it's a pity, Durant didn't make any progress in this goal." Yang Yi clapped his hands regretfully.
It’s just that before he finished speaking, Durant’s basketball just rolled down from the hoop, Ye Hao followed from behind, took off, reached out, sent the basketball into the basket, and made a tip-up.
Ye Hao's consecutive scoring forced Zen master Jackson to raise his hand to call for a timeout.
After returning from the timeout, Kobe and Paul Gasol played in a pick-and-roll and returned the ball to Gasol to score a jumper, helping the Lakers stabilize the situation.
In this way, you come and go, the Lakers maintained a weak lead and did not give the Thunder to tie the score.
Until 1 and a half minutes left in the game, the Lakers still led the Thunder by 3 points.
Carlesimo called a timeout.
"It's only three points away. Ye Hao only needs to make another three-pointer to tie the score." Yang Yi said.
"Yes. The premise is that the Lakers don't continue to score. The Lakers really deserve to be the defending champion team. They played too tenaciously. Under the impact of Ye Hao's consecutive scoring, they still played very steadily. Taking advantage of the chaotic opportunity to pursue." Director Zhang said.
Yang Yi agreed: "Only such a team is worthy of the championship honor."
Carlesimo poured a bowl of chicken soup on the Thunder players, encouraging them to hold out for the last few minutes.
Then the timeout ends and the game continues.
The Thunder attack.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!..." The home fans shouted loudly.
Under the multiple championship banners at the Staples Center, they worked hard to cheer for the home team.
This is a team with a tradition of winning, this is a rich team, this is a team that has won multiple championships.
Even though they will encounter short-term difficulties like other teams, these loyal fans always believe that they will eventually get out of the predicament.
Because the history of the team has proved this many times, the downturn will not last long.
They are always able to stand up quickly from the trough, regain the pinnacle of the NBA league, and regain the dazzling O'Brien Cup.
This was the case last season, Kobe led them through that short period of dark days, and once again hung a championship banner over the arena.
Fans believe that this season will be the same.
This season, they are stronger than last season.
There's no reason not to win.
After defending, as long as they can defend, there will be more than one minute left before they can rush to the finals again and lift the championship trophy again.
The basketball is in Ye Hao's hands.
Kobe is defending in front of Ye Hao, and Ariza is ready to step forward to help defend and double-team at any time.
But Ye Hao passed the basketball into the basket, and gave it to Varejao in the low post.
"Defend him, don't let him shoot!" Ye Hao's pass made Zen Master, who had always been calm on the sidelines, anxious.
Because of such a short distance, it is really easy to throw a basketball into it.
Bynum quickly rushed forward.
Varejao raised the ball and made a move, but didn't choose to shoot himself.
Instead, the ball was given to the outside line, and it was given to Ye Hao on the right flank.
Ye Hao took the ball and immediately put it in.
With the help of Durant's cover, help him get rid of Kobe's defense.
Just when everyone thought he would continue to drive the ball to the basket, he turned a corner with the ball, killed a carbine, and returned to the three-point line again.
Now the Lakers are nervous. Once Ye Hao makes the three-pointer, the Thunder will tie the point difference.
Both Kobe and Ariza stepped towards Ye Hao.
Ye Hao took off from outside the three-point line, and made a three-point shot with a leanback.
The pose is picturesque and the action is ecstasy.
call out!
Swish!
The basketball is thrown into the hoop.
The score was tied.
"FXXK!" At this moment, I don't know how many Lakers fans are cursing such a word.
On the side of the Thunder, the fans who were watching the game on the big screen in the Thunder's arena were already crazy, "It's a tie! It's a tie! Ah!"
"Ye Hao! Ye Hao! Ye Hao!..."
"MVP! MVP! MVP!..."
At the scene, the Thunder players on the bench were also crazy, standing up, jumping and shouting, waving towels.
The Zen master quickly called a timeout and arranged an attack.
Now there is no time to scold him "FXXK". Although he has already scolded him, more importantly, he must immediately deploy an effective offensive tactic to help the Lakers regain their lead.
The two sides returned to the court, and Ye Hao never left Kobe's side. At this most critical moment, at least [-]% of the Lakers' offense was to give the ball to Kobe to attack.
In addition, the Thunder replaced Sean Battier, Tony Allen and Jordan, and replaced Dragic, Durant and Varejao.
This substitution is to emphasize defense and block Kobe's shot.
The outside line is blocked, and the inside line is also blocked.
Ye Hao was in charge of the main defense, Battier and Tony Allen flanked and assisted in the defense at any time.
The Lakers serve and Fisher serves.
Kobe started to run, and Ye Hao followed closely behind him.
Ariza made a cover for Kobe, blocking Ye Hao who was following behind him.
Shane Battier became the man who defended Kobe on top.
Ye Hao bypassed Ariza and continued to catch up.
At this time Kobe has received the basketball and is on the right flank.
He faced Battier with the ball, and after a series of tentative steps, he forced Battier back and let the ball go to the left.
Battier slipped back and followed closely.
Tony Allen and Ye Hao shrank towards Kobe at the same time.
Kobe took off, with a standard fadeaway jumper release posture.
Battier, Tony Allen and Ye Hao flew to block the shot.
The basketball passed through Battier's fingertips and flew towards the basket.
"Don't hit it! Don't hit it! Don't score this goal!" Thunder fans were praying.
However, with a swish, the basketball went into the net very crisply.
Kobe made it!
The Lakers regained a 2-point lead over the Thunder.
The Thunder team called a short timeout, and when the timeout came back, it was Ye Hao's turn to face the defense of multiple teams.
He almost ran out to near the halfway line before receiving the ball.
Bryant, Ariza and Fisher three in closely staring at him.
Ye Hao dribbled the ball under his crotch, and dribbled towards the three-point line with his short body close to Kobe.
He first went to the left, then changed hands behind his back, and then went to the right.
Following him close to Kobe, he rose up and made a long-range three-pointer.
Kobe had a bad feeling in his heart when he took off to block the shot.
Unfortunately, what he felt had actually happened.
Ye Hao's shot went in.
In the three-pointer, the Thunder took the lead.
In the last few minutes, the people who watched the game were simply on tenterhooks.
This competition is too fierce.
The Lakers once again handed the ball to Bryant.
There is not much time left in the game.
Kobe holds the ball, and Ye Hao steps forward to paste it.
"Can Kobe make the game-winning shot?" Kenny Smith said nervously.
After taking a tentative step, Kobe released the ball, rushed to the left, followed by an emergency stop, pulled it up, and made a two-point shot.
Ye Hao jumped up and quickly raised his hand to block the shot.
"Oh! I didn't cover it!" Director Zhang yelled regretfully.
The basketball brushed against Ye Hao's fingertips and flew towards the basket.
Ye Hao also screamed in his heart that it was a pity, he only felt that the basketball was touched by his fingertips a little bit, and it was not completely covered.
Bang!
The basketball hit the front edge of the basket and missed.
Kobe's goal was missed!
The fans watching the game in the Thunder Arena were about to go crazy, jumping up and cheering.
The rebound was grabbed by Ibaka.
The Lakers quickly fouled.
