The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 72 [Lore]

With 11.3 seconds left, the Lakers requested a timeout.

The "Los Angeles Times" website recently conducted a survey. In Game 1 of the finals, your team trails by [-] point and there is just enough time left for an offense. Who do you want to make the last shot?The options are Kobe and Jordan.

Bryant's vote was 65%, Jordan's vote was 35%.

Later, a Times reporter interviewed Bryant and asked him what he thought of the vote. "If you and Jordan were on the court at the same time, who would you want to shoot the game-winning shot?"

Of course Kobe wanted to vote by himself, and it would be best for Jordan to be the one who was lore, but he didn’t dare to publicly show disrespect to Jordan, paused, and smiled: “Uh… this question is very interesting. I believe that Michael and himself With the same ethos, we both stood up when it was time to call. We were both born for that kind of situation, and we both wanted the ball to be in our hands when it mattered... But, there is another similarity between us: We all see winning as the ultimate goal..."

At this moment, what the reporter thought was "Do you dare to talk more nonsense?"

Kobe said seriously: "So, I will design this scene like this: I catch the ball from the baseline, jump up, and when I am about to shoot, I see Jordan unguarded from the corner of the eye. I will pass the ball to him and let him use a layup. Finish the opponent!"

Of course, this is just Kobe's entertainment.It's impossible for any team to leave Jordan unguarded at the last minute unless the coach is out of his mind.

The Lakers now have someone who can let go.

During the timeout, Sloan said to the players: "This ball has to be defended. They will probably let Kobe take the last shot. The two points are just overtime. If Kobe catches the ball, Mehmet (O. Ku) Pay attention to letting go of Kwame Brown’s defense at any time. They can’t pass the ball to Brown at this time. If Brown catches the ball, they will directly foul him and make him a free throw. As long as he misses a ball, we will win gone."

If Brown hears Sloan's tactics, I don't know how he will feel. He is really afraid of getting to the free throw line.

Jackson also arranged tactics. "Lamar (Odom) does the serve, Kwame (Brown) sets the screen and gets Kobe the ball. Yeh and Lamar pull up to the high post to screen off the ball, and Kobe can choose to attack himself, or he can return the high post. What we want is the success rate, to score two points and play them in overtime."

Ye Feng has the bounce, Odom has the height, it is difficult for opponents to block their high jump shots, it all depends on how Kobe chooses.Jackson doesn't plan to gamble on three-pointers. Only Fisher and Kobe are sure about three-pointers on the field. If the Jazz focus on defense outside the three-point line, it will be difficult to score.The two teams are at the same level. He is not afraid of overtime and decided to seek stability.

After the timeout ended, the players returned to the field.If the Lakers lose today, the home fans will not accept it.Just over a minute ago, they were leading by 4 points.The arena became very quiet, and people were waiting to see the Lakers' final attack.

Odom delivered the ball, Kobe received the basketball under the cover of Brown, and Ronnie Brewer defended closely, forcing Kobe to the three-point line and unable to turn around calmly.

Neither Odom nor Ye Feng rushed forward to cover. The Lakers pinned their hopes on this ball.If the shot is made, it will be overtime, if the shot is not made, the game will be lost.It is not a good choice to rush to shoot in such a short period of time.Once they fail to score and the Jazz grab a rebound, the Lakers can only resort to foul tactics.Everyone on the Jazz today is good at free throws except for Kirilenko.With two free throws, the Lakers will fall behind by 4 points and completely lose hope of a comeback.

Everyone was silently counting the time, Kobe was protecting the ball on the outside, with 5 seconds left, Ye Feng stepped forward to cover, Kobe shook off Brewer.

Boozer switched defenses, his defense was not very good, but under the high concentration, he did not lose his position. Odom followed up and stepped forward for the second screen. Kobe dribbled the ball from the right to the left, The defender was replaced by Kirilenko.Kirilenko's famous stunt is blocking shots.Seeing that Kobe was replaced by him, everyone on the Jazz side saw hope.

With only 3 seconds left, Kobe stopped abruptly and jumped up. He flicked his hands to the right in the air and passed it to Odom in the middle.Boozer also focused on Bryant, trying to block all of Bryant's shooting angles with Kirilenko, but Bryant passed the ball.

"Komi" on the Internet widely circulated such a saying, "The reason why Kobe's shooting percentage is not as high as the emperor's is because other teams double-teamed him, and sometimes even four people double-teamed him."

Isn't it mentally retarded to not pass the ball in the face of so many people double-teaming?It's hard to keep people from being black.No one knows when "Kehei" appeared, but through rational analysis, it will be found that there should be Kemi first, followed by Kehei.Because most Kohei didn't target Kobe at all, they just fired at Kobe.

Legends are legends after all. In fact, Kobe can pass the ball when his head is clear and the coach arranges clear tactics.Otherwise, he would not have averaged close to 5 assists per game in his career.Many teams' starting point guards have averaged 5 assists per game in their careers.After all, Kobe is a shooting guard. If he averages more than 25 points and can get 10 assists per game, no one will doubt his independence, but that is impossible. He is still human after all...

Odom was already fully prepared to catch the ball, and immediately made a jumper after catching the ball, but the ball didn't go out, Brewer rushed up from behind and fouled Odom!

Odom got to the free throw line, facing the basket, and took a few deep breaths.He knew how critical these two free throws were. There was only 1.6 seconds left, and he had to make both free throws.

Odom's free throws are not accurate, and his shooting percentage is only 70%. Last season, he missed two free throws at critical moments, and Kobe almost died of anger.Free throws at critical moments test the most mental quality. The reason why O'Neal is a leader is because although he is bad at free throws, he can often withstand the pressure and make free throws at critical moments.

Odom took a few shots of the basketball, aimed at the basket, shot, and the ball bounced on the basket and went in.

The ball was very mysterious, and his teammates all stepped forward to clap hands with him and gave him encouragement.He was under more pressure in the second penalty. With the same action, he knew something bad as soon as he took the shot. He wanted to make the feel as soft as possible and increase the arc of the shot.The arc is nice, but the ball is slightly to the right.

When! The sound of iron strikes is so harsh, it is the sound that makes all Lakers players feel suffocated, everything is over.There is only one person who doesn't think so, and that is Ye Feng who stands behind Odom and outside the three-point line.

Only Kwame Brown is responsible for rebounding.As soon as Odom made the shot, Ye Feng immediately started from outside the three-point line, and when the ball touched the frame, he also entered the penalty area.He was deeply impressed by Pippen's free throw and Jordan's dunk into the frame. I believe every fan has seen that kind of goal several times, and Ye Feng knows where he jumped from.

When the ball was released, Ye Feng had already judged the general direction of the ball's rebound.The person standing under the basket on the right is Okur, the slowest man on the Jazz court.If it was Kirilenko, he might try his best to grab the board, and it would be more difficult for him to make up the dunk.But Okur has no desire to grab rebounds.Seeing the ball bouncing in his direction, his tense nerves also relaxed.

Ye Feng took a reasonable step forward in the collision zone, raised his arms high, and shrunk his legs back slightly, like an eagle flying high, flying towards the basket.

Okur saw him, but did nothing.He was stunned, forgot to take off, and involuntarily thought of a word used to describe God—basketball trapeze!
Ye Feng caught the popped basketball with both hands. At that moment, he felt as if his hands had touched heaven.

boom!Ye Feng smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!He did it!

The whistle at the end of halftime sounded at the same time, reaching the ears of the Lakers players was a melodious sound of nature, but reaching the ears of the Jazz players was a low-pitched death knell!

Sloan pinched his waist and stared blankly at the field. He didn't understand why Ye Feng, who was still a football player half a year ago, became so strong.

Ye Feng was not the first genius who made rapid progress, nor would he be the last.Rodman didn't touch basketball until he was 19 years old, but he became the 7th rebounding champion and a super defensive player.Olajuwon was still a goalkeeper for the Nigerian youth football team at the age of 15, but he became the No. 84 pick in the NBA in [-].That was a year with Jordan, Stockton, Barkley and other famous people!
Some people are gifted and born heroes.
