The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 114 [The victory of the common people! 】

At 2 minutes and 12 seconds, Kobe was finally selfless. He received the ball from the outside, and after a breakthrough on the right was blocked, he returned the ball to Odom who was pulled to a high position.

Odom didn't think he'd catch the pass, slacked off a bit, nearly got hit in the face, and being erratic in front of Josh Smith was fatal.

Smith slapped the ball away, accelerated forward, shook off Odom, and saved it when the ball was almost out of the left sideline.A one-man fast break dribbled the ball towards the Lakers penalty area, and Ariza was the fastest man to return to defense, catching up with Smith.Smith took two big strides, no feints, no layups, and a random toss of the ball with his right hand into the sky, over Ariza's head and into the middle.

Ariza was deflated. He knew exactly who was running back with him.

Ye Feng followed up in the middle, and the timing of the jump was just right. He caught the ball with both hands while it was falling, and the ball was still rising. With one hand, the windmill smashed the ball into the basket! 90 to 83.

With 2 minutes and 06 seconds left in the game, the Clippers extended their advantage to 7 points!The auditorium was boiling, and many people in the audience shouted "Hungry Wolf"!At the critical moment, the Clippers could still play a beautiful offense, and many Lakers fans got cold feet.

The Lakers requested a timeout, and Kobe returned to the bench with a dark face. Radmanovich handed him the towel, and Kobe fell to the ground hard.

Jackson stared at Kobe, and said coldly: "We were able to reach the finals last season, but now we meet the Clippers? If we lose today, it will be a big joke in Los Angeles. Now we seem to be fighting for the championship. Is it a championship team? Kobe, how many times do you want me to say it before you pass the ball to the inside? Who are the inside of the Clippers? They are rookies and players that no one wants in the NBDL! They can't defend at all! Now they play basketball Next is a fat man with a height of more than two meters and four fouls (referring to Love)! Couldn’t Gasol beat him? Do you continue to fight with Tony Allen, Josh Smith and others, or pass it to the inside, Figure it out for yourself."

Jackson, who studies Zen, is usually not that angry.But there is a saying that compares people to others, which makes people mad.Kobe can do better, but he can't pass his level.Looking at Ye Feng again, he passed when it was time to pass, and shot when it was time to shoot. He is only 20 years old this year, and he is more like a veteran than Kobe.Thinking of Ye Feng being a member of the Lakers, Jackson couldn't control his emotions.

The players didn't say a word, there was a deathly silence.Those who join the Lakers are players who have given up on being the boss from the bottom of their hearts. They are here to hug their thighs, and they will not show dissatisfaction with the team boss unless it is absolutely necessary.Except for Kobe, there is really no one on this team who is expected to be a leader.Gasol is a capable and honest man, as long as others don't come to choke his neck, he will not make a sound.Honest people are good, but too much honesty is weakness.

The Clippers are a bunch of lunatics.When Ye Feng's big windmill dunked in, McGee and Wright took their clothes and threw them on the bench desperately, yelling.McGee didn't stop until he accidentally threw his clothes in Mahon's face and got kicked in the ass.

At the end of the court, Love also had a passionate chest bump with Lowry, but as a result, his strength was a little stronger, and Lowry lost his balance and fell to the street...

In the attack just now, even Hardaway and Mahon also shouted, and they seemed to be young again when they got here.Thibodeau smiled exaggeratedly, with a horrified expression, and said: "Don't be too happy, everyone, now is the most critical time, and there are still 2 minutes left."

Wright was known as the "Tucao Emperor" in the training camp, and he wanted to complain about everything he saw.He looked at Thibodeau and said with a smile: "Coach, can you take out the clothes stay in your mouth before speaking, the words are unclear, and it is inconvenient to arrange tactics."

Thibodeau punched him in the back and suppressed his smile.He took out the tactical board and said: "We are behind by 7 points. At this time, the opponent will usually choose to bet on three points. The defense may use a full-court press. Tony (Allen) goes off, Matt (Barnes) comes on, increase the height, Defend their outside three-pointers. Inside Marcin (Gortat), pay attention to defending. At this time, it is not terrible to be scored by them for two-pointers. Kyle (Lowry), you must control the rhythm and try your best to consume time .Follow Fisher closely when defending, he is also very accurate on three-pointers, wrap him around, don't let him take easy shots."

A group of fringe people who had just gathered together in Xia Tian exploded with amazing energy in the first game of the new season.In terms of cooperation, they still lack a tacit understanding and cannot play an efficient offense throughout the game, but mentally they have already twisted into one rope.What drives them together is a fighting spirit.Ye Feng, Smith, Barnes, and Allen are all people who are willing to work hard on the field, and their spirit has infected the whole team.

For rookies like Love, McGee, and Morrow who have just entered the league, spiritual growth is more important than technology. Their brains are a blank sheet of paper, and what is written on it is what it is.If you stay on a lazy team for a long time, you may become lazy.Playing on a tough team will also develop a fierce style.Gortat is the best example, he has dared to foul maliciously.Because of this, Thibodeau chose to let him play at the last moment and sit inside.His interior defense is more deterrent.

When the timeout expired, the Lakers players appeared on the stage lifelessly.Most of the audience still hope that the Lakers can reverse and win, and try their best to cheer for them.

"Everyone, you can't lose in momentum! Shout out to me!" Ye Feng stood on the field and shouted loudly: "We must win!"

"Definitely!"

The aura of the Lakers is given by the audience, but the aura of the Clippers comes from the hearts of the players.Some Lakers players who pin their hopes on the stars, and a group of Clippers players who want to create miracles.It's clear at a glance who has the strongest momentum!
The Lakers wanted to hit the success rate, and Fisher dribbled through half court under Lowry's close defense.Both are strong, and Lowry is one of the few point guards who doesn't suffer physically against Fisher.

This is the moment when the strength of the star is most tested.In this attack, Fisher first passed to Odom, who then passed to Gasol.The ball did not pass through Kobe's hands, and it was not yet time to gamble on three-pointers.Gasol faced Gortat and dribbled with his back twice.

At 1 minute and 54 seconds, Gasol at this time hopes that the Clippers players will come up to double-team, so that he has a good reason to pass the ball.He knows that if the goal is not scored, the fans are likely to blame him for the loss. Many people have already called him soft when the Lakers lost to the Celtics last season.With such a mentality, how could it be possible to resist Gortat who was going all out?

Gasol couldn't squeeze.With his left foot as the axis, he turned to the center and took a step with his right foot. Gortat didn't move. His task was to guard the baseline.

Gasol hadn't played singles for a long time, and his body was stiff. He was worried that the chance in the middle would be bad, so he made a full set of fake moves mechanically, turned around again, and collided with Gortat. He didn't get a good shot. A waste of attack time. At 1 minute and 50 seconds, without a good chance, Gasol passed the ball to Odom in the high position, and Odom then passed to Kobe.

The Lakers players have formed a fixed mindset and will only look for Kobe. At 1 minute and 45 seconds, Kobe rushed into the penalty area after receiving the ball. He had no choice, and time was running out. Under the defense of Barnes, Kobe made an emergency stop and made a jumper. 90 to 85.

Barnes has achieved "body hair level" defense on this ball, and no one will blame him.

At 1 minute and 43 seconds, the Clippers attacked, and the Lakers really pressed the frontcourt.Smith didn't rush to the frontcourt and screened for Lowry in the back.When Bibby was not traded to the Eagles, the Eagles' point guard was not qualified and often needed Joe Johnson to complete organizational tasks. Smith often had to help cover in the backcourt and accumulated rich experience. He helped Lowry stabilize Dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, wasted 10 seconds, and ran into the low post.

Gotatra went to the high position to cover, Ye Feng received the basketball, dribbled the ball and broke through from the right, and Odom followed him.

The Lakers will definitely not relax their defense against him at this time, Ye Feng knows it very well.His thinking is completely different from Kobe's.What Kobe wanted was to stand up and take on the heavy responsibility, but what he thought about was how to save the most effort and be the most effective.

At 1 minute and 25 seconds, Ye Feng protected the ball with his back, did not make a strong attack, and took the ball out of the outside line. This was beyond everyone's expectations, because time was running out, Gortat came up to pick and roll again, Ye Feng changed to go On the left, after jumping up, he passed the ball to Smith in the low post with both hands.

Only three seconds left for Smith to attack.

After receiving the ball, Smith didn't stop and turned to the baseline to pass Gasol.Throughout the game, he was always looking for opportunities in running positions, and he almost never played in the low post.Even the "Zen Master" Jackson has forgotten that Smith singles Gasol's obvious speed advantage.

With two seconds left, Smith turned and jumped to the basket.Gasol felt desperate, he knew he couldn't hold Smith back, he had played this game for nearly 40 minutes, and his physical strength was exhausted, so he didn't take foul tactics, and watched Smith dunk with one hand and score! 92 to 85.

At 1 minute and 19 seconds, the Clippers once again took a 7-point lead.Ye Feng's passing is not based on his passing awareness, but his ability to read the game, which is the result of analyzing the abilities of each player on the field.

Jackson sat down in his seat and let out a long sigh.The game wasn't over yet, but he knew the Lakers were doomed.With the defensive strength shown by the Clippers, it is impossible to lose 7 points in such a short period of time.

After Smith dunks, the momentum of the Clippers is even stronger!They didn't retreat, and they used a full-court press on the Lakers.

Kobe took the ball from the backcourt and rushed to the frontcourt with a cover. Smith chased back with all his strength. Kobe didn't wait for his teammates to get in position, and chose to shoot a three-pointer on the right side. Hugged tightly in his arms.Until Lowry came back to meet him.

With less than 1 minute left, Lowry slowly took the ball across the half court. Fisher did not foul. He has rich experience and knows that fouling at this time does not make much sense.

After three more possessions, the Clippers failed to score again, and Bryant hit a pull-up [-] on the final drive, but it was of no avail.

92 to 88, the Clippers defeated last season's Western Conference champion, breaking the biggest upset since the start of the game!
