The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 194 [Big heart, lore ball! 】

To the sidelines, Chalmers first thing is to apologize. "I'm sorry, coach, everyone... I didn't take my chance."

Thibodeau said sternly: "Don't apologize, you made the right shot. You should make the shot when the opportunity comes out. If you don't make it, you are unlucky. Adjust your mentality. We are going to play a three-point attack. As long as the ball is scored, The pressure is on the Lakers."

Ye Feng patted Chalmers on the shoulder and said, "Steady, if you have a chance, I will still pass the ball to you."

Chalmers did not make a shot, but was encouraged by the coach and the team boss, and his mood changed from fear and worry to determination. "Well, I will work hard in the future!"

Thibodeau will not blame the rookies on the team.It was his first time participating in the playoffs, and Ye Feng performed abnormally in both the second game and this one. He couldn't ask the rookies not to make mistakes.Give them confidence, and they can play a greater role in the next game.

Thibodeau arranged tactics with a tactical board, which surprised everyone...

On the other side, Jackson also arranged defensive tactics, continued to strictly prevent Ye Feng from entering the interior, and fouled him if he couldn't stand it.Jackson believes that the Clippers will definitely hit the success rate.Even if Ye Feng doesn't feel good, the Clippers will pass the ball to him. He has already scored 25 points by making strong fouls.There is no arrangement for attacking Jackson, and a timeout will be requested immediately after the ball is defended.

Kobe didn't say a word, and his teammates didn't talk to him, and didn't touch the wall. Kobe is very angry now, and the seven holes are smoking like Majin Buu.Fat Buu always had a smiley face, but Kobe looked like someone owed him millions.If he loses this game, just block these two shots, and he won't be able to sleep tonight.

The game restarts.The Clippers replaced Love, Ye Feng, Wright, Morrow, and Chalmers, and everyone who could shoot was on the court.The Lakers have Bynum, Mbenga, Trevor Ariza, Kobe Bryant and Shannon Brown, which is a lineup suitable for defense.

Odom was afraid of fouls, Fisher was replaced due to his slow speed and height, and the Lakers tried to make the defense foolproof.

The players stood in a straight line, Love covered Ye Feng and let him catch the ball from the outside.Ye Feng passed to Chalmers, who dribbled the ball outside for more than 5 seconds and passed it to Wright.

Ariza defended, and Wright didn't have a chance to make a phone call. In 13 seconds, he passed the ball to Morrow, who dribbled the ball laterally to the right 45 degrees and passed it to Love.

In 10 seconds, Ye Feng ran towards Love from the outside, took the basketball from him and went inside, and Mbenga switched defenses.Although Mbenga has no offensive ability, he is even better than Pau Gasol and Bynum in terms of defense alone. He had an astonishing performance of 8 blocks in a single game in the regular season, and he can also grab rebounds.

As long as the little people are used properly, there are also shining moments.After a pick-and-roll, Mbenga caught up with Ye Feng's speed. Ye Feng turned his back, and he also resisted. Mbenga, who is 210cm tall, is not in a hurry to foul. As long as he can defend the ball, the Lakers will win.

Just when everyone thought that Ye Feng was going to force a single, Love ran out of the perimeter, Bynum could only defend, Chalmers ran from the left to the right, at a 60-degree angle, borrowed Love's The off-ball screen throws off Shannon Brown, rushes to the baseline, and gets misplaced.

Love has an advantage against Shannon Brown, and Chalmers has an advantage against Bynum.And Bynum's pick-and-roll defense is slightly worse, and his lateral movement is slow.Chalmers sprinted towards the bottom corner, pulling away two steps away from Bynum.

Bynum quickly let go of Love to switch defenses, but as soon as Chalmers got to the bottom corner, Ye Feng passed the ball, and the timing was just right.Thibodeau's tactic is to let Chalmers shoot three-pointers.He's the least-watched little guy on the floor, and he missed his last shot.It's hard for the Lakers to expect him to make such a crucial shot.Unexpected, so his chance is the best.

To pass the ball to the core, or to the player with the best opportunity?When Ye Feng felt bad, Thibodeau decided to trust outside players.

In 7 seconds, Chalmers received the pass and made a jump shot with almost no adjustments.

Thibodeau told Chalmers, don't be nervous, just shoot boldly when the opportunity comes out, treat it as a practice, and no one will blame him if you miss it.

This is just a practice, don't be afraid.Chalmers has been saying this to himself since he played, self-hypnotic.The shot must be accurate, and the most important thing is to relax. Only when you relax can you grasp the rhythm.His wrist trembled slightly, his fingers flicked lightly, and the basketball drew a perfect arc and flew towards the basket.Bynum rushed up and blocked his view of the rim, but that didn't matter anymore, he evaded the block, and the arc was well controlled.A good pitcher, as long as he throws the ball, he can feel whether it will go in or not. After Chalmers landed, he clenched his fists.

brush!Everyone in the arena seemed to hear the sound of the ball passing through the net. 99 to 98.Chalmers did it.

There was a second of silence, and the fans erupted.The Clippers, who had trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter, overtook the score at the last minute.Ye Feng didn't take any shots these few times, but the fans still shouted "Hungry Wolf"!He blocked a shot, made a pass, and he was a hero if he didn't score!
"Zen Master" Jackson requested a timeout again, leaving the Lakers with only 5.4 seconds left.That's enough for an offense, but the advantage is already on the Clippers' side.

Clippers players one by one and Chalmers high-five to celebrate.Thibodeau said sternly: "Everyone, don't relax, don't be too happy, we haven't won yet. 5 seconds, there is plenty of time to complete an attack, and they are free throws at the center line. It is not too late to celebrate this goal. .”

The players all got together and listened to Thibodeau's tactics.The Clippers put on the best defensive player.Gortat, Hayes, Smith, Ye Feng, Chalmers.

The back line can only use Chalmers. If Tony Allen didn't make six fouls and Barnes didn't get two technical fouls and was sent off, Thibodeau would definitely not use him.

Thibodeau still arranged man-to-man, only made a little special arrangement. "If the Lakers let Kobe catch the ball and make the final hit, and the people who are close to him will help defend and block him as much as possible, he will not pass the ball!"

On the other side, Kobe yelled at Bynum, dissatisfied with the defense just now.Barea made the Lakers uncomfortable, and now Chalmers is the only pure point guard for the Clippers, and he made a key three-pointer, which almost drove him crazy.

Bynum had another idea. He felt disgusted. If Kobe had a slightly higher shooting percentage in the fourth quarter and didn't get blocked two shots, the game might have been easily won.

At this time, it is time to rely on the lore to determine the outcome. Kobe is likely to make a shot, but is the lore really that great?
The question of who performed the final blow was also being discussed in the commentary booth.Everyone thought it would be Kobe.Barkley said sternly: "If Kobe came to execute the lore, it would be good news for the Clippers. The only thing that worries people is Kobe's pass."

Kenny Smith laughed out loud. "What if Kobe made it?"

"Shooting is a trick." Barkley opened a webpage, which was also broadcast live on TV, and he smiled: "Before this game, there was a lore statistics on the Internet, and Kobe has a total of 14 lores since he entered the league. Kill, ranked fourth in active service, second only to LeBron James 17 times, Vince Carter 15 times, Ray Allen 15 times. Kobe made 56 of 14 shots, and his lore shooting rate was only 25%, ranking among the top ten in active service As long as he takes the shot, the Clippers have a 75% chance of winning."

Many people boast that Kobe has a big heart and is the "killer king". In fact, he has too many chances to shoot lore shots. On average, he can only score less than 10 times for every 3 shots. Most of them are In the lore of the Lakers, how can this be a big heart?Moreover, the Lakers have killed many underdogs. For a really strong team, they should kill the underdogs by a large score in regular time. It is a shame to win by lore.

Jackson had already arranged the tactics, and said to Kobe earnestly: "Whether you win or lose this game is up to you. If you do as required, even if the goal is not made, I will not blame you."

At 5.4 seconds, the game restarted.The Lakers sent Bynum, Odom, Kobe, Shannon. Brown, Fisher.Brown is also capable of shooting three-pointers, and with strong athletic ability, it is easier to get a shot with a pull-up jumper.

The Clippers perform man-to-man, and it only takes 5.4 seconds to win or lose.Suspense is one of the greatest charms of basketball.The advantage of the Lakers is that they only need a two-pointer to overtake the score, and the Clippers cannot foul.

At this point, it is impossible for the referee to call fouls easily. If the Lakers are allowed to win with easy free throws, the game will become garbage.And the game was enough rubbish, 5 people left the field, the number of fouls was staggering, and conflicts broke out twice.

Bynum and Odom came up and made a double screen, Kobe caught the ball smoothly, Ye Feng immediately blocked the way, Kobe got the ball with his back, he couldn't squeeze Ye Feng, but he still chose to play like this After two strokes, it didn't work, and then took a step back, leading to the outside line.Step on the three-point line and pick up the ball.

It was Thibodeau's arrangement for those who were close to go up to help defend. Chalmers was the closest, and he obeyed the coach's arrangement.Kobe's step back was very sudden, but Ye Feng was still able to catch up. Chalmers also jumped up from the side, and the two blocked all his shooting angles.

In 2 seconds, Kobe shrank in the air, sent the ball from the gap between the two, and passed it into the three-point line. This is Jackson's arrangement, learning from the Clippers and attracting defensive passes.

At the last second, Fisher caught the ball in two steps within the three-point line, and made a 60-degree jump shot from the right, but Smith failed to cover it with all his strength.

Ye Feng felt something was wrong the moment Kobe passed the ball. When he turned his head, he saw the ball flying towards the basket. The final whistle sounded, followed by a swipe!The ball is also hollow into the net!
People say that Fisher is a championship puzzle, just for one reason, he has a really big heart.
