You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 428
2007/5/26

In the three conference finals games, the Lakers and Spurs are the closest.

Until 15 seconds before the end of the game, Kobe Bryant, holding a basketball, can defend the home court, as long as he hits that priceless shot.

Bruce Bowen, who was selected to the first team of the All-Defensive Team in a row, tried his best to defend Kobe.

His determination was strong enough to ignore Kobe's intentions and let the arc-centered shot miss from the basket.

It fell, not from the net, but from the edge of the basket, and fell to the floor, with a few bangs, resounding through the scene.

The referee blows the final whistle.

90 is better than 89
In the third game of the conference finals, the Lakers, who fought until the last second, still lost to the Spurs, who were obviously stronger than them, by 1 point.

"Is there still hope?" asked Spero Dedes.

There has never been a 0-3 comeback series in history. The Lakers lost the conference finals and were eliminated. It is almost a foregone conclusion.

"Yes," Michael Thompson said consolingly, "it's not over yet."

Yes, maybe in two days it will be over.

Kobe, who lost the lore, picked up his jersey and wiped the sweat from his nose.

"My shot felt good, but" Kobe shook his head in disappointment, and even mouthed, but didn't make a sound.

Looking at his mouth shape, you can clearly decipher what the word he didn't make a sound is-F starts and UCK ends.

In this campaign, the Spurs used clever means to let Bruce Bowen face Weixia most of the time.In this way, they can use Bowen's outstanding single-defense ability to block Wexia. As for whether Kobe explodes or not, let him go.

The answer Kobe gave was not to explode. His touch was just off the line. The Lakers relied on hand-to-hand tactics and the Spurs to drag to the last moment, and they still had a chance to win.

It's just that Kobe didn't make a shot, that's all.

Even the media closest to the Lakers can't believe that they can win the next game.

The result is already doomed.

Is the game two days away the end of the season?

"We hope not," Jackson said.

Wei Xia's answer: "Definitely not."

The Spurs have formed a sweeping momentum. If they can solve it in four games, they certainly don't want to end in five games.

The Lakers were sent out in four games, and by the way, they were able to avenge their defeat by the Lakers in the 2004 Western Conference Finals.

This account has been shelved for several years, and it is time to settle it.

It's December 5th

Game day for Game [-] of the conference finals.

Wei Xia's girlfriend Elaine Trovis took the time to come to watch the game, because Wei Xia said that every time she came to the scene, he could play a wonderful performance and help the team win.

The Lakers are eager to win, but the Spurs are puzzled.

There is no record of friendly exchanges between the two teams, there are only grievances that both want each other to die.

In this case, the Spurs are off to a good start.

23 is better than 18
The Lakers seem to be doomed.

After returning to the conference finals after three years, are they going to be swept out by the Spurs?
Bryant showed his stance first in the mid-range, followed by Wecha.Kobe is dazzling on the offensive end, he just needs to do a good job on the defensive end.

Draw the Spurs' offensive foul, rotate to cover, cause problems for Duncan, and properly open Tony Parker's three-pointer.

Wei Xia frequently wandered in the paint area, preventing Duncan from comfortably singleting the Lakers inside.

Parker's three-pointers did not work, and the Spurs frequently missed outside shots. This gave the Lakers the opportunity to take advantage.

If you don't seize the opportunities to counterattack and fast break, you will be struck by lightning.

Because the opportunity has come to us.

The Lakers grabbed it, leading the Spurs at halftime for the first time since the series began.

"Are you going to repeat the same mistakes?"

At the end of halftime, ESPN reporters interviewed Wei Xia.

What he asked was whether the Lakers would be carried away by Duncan's dominant single-quarter performance today, as they did in Games [-] and [-].

"I don't know, I really don't know. The Spurs are a great team, and we are the chasers. They lead strongly, leaving us with endless darkness. I really don't know what will happen in the second half. I only know" Wei Xia returned to the reporter, but his eyes fell to where Trovis was. "There is only one way to light."

Wesha said he didn't know how to avoid repeating the same mistakes, which turned out to be an outright lie, and he not only knew, but was the only Laker player who knew.

His contribution on the defensive end makes people feel that he is the Defensive Player of the Year.

Duncan, who was about to break out, only took 3 shots in the third quarter, all of which were missed, while Kobe offered a 15-point offensive feast in a single quarter, allowing the Lakers to enter the final quarter with a double-digit lead.

None of them want to lose an entire season at home.

Lose, of course.

not here!
not today!

not now!

Fighting for dignity is noble, and they must keep their own space in their hearts, so that the face that has almost fallen to the ground will not be stained with dust.

Safe through the night, they may stride to the holy city and die safe.

Not today, not today!
There is only one way to a bright future, and that is to keep hope.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers played their best form, and the whole team was united as one, which made the Spurs lose their confidence in counterattack.

Thus, the unattainable victory before the game fell into their hands.

The first victory in the division finals, what a difficult result!

"I said, not tonight."

Seeing the reporter approaching him, Wei Xia took the initiative to speak without waiting for the other party to ask questions.

His self-confidence is very touching. As long as you walk by his side, you can feel the warm current of "we are still very hopeful" in him.

Unlike Kobe, he is a guy who makes people feel easy to get along with.

Although many times, his answers in interviews sound drowsy.

Wei Xia scored only single digits tonight.

He scored 8 points.

If it weren't for Kobe's 40 points, Weixia would most likely be named the best player in the game.

8分之外，有8个篮板7个助攻，和不容忽视的6抢断3盖帽。

In addition to this data, from the beginning to the end of the fourth quarter, the 3 minutes before the end of the fourth quarter was full of high-intensity exercises without rest.

During the playoffs, Wei Xia was not regarded as a human being by Jackson. He was a beast with as much strength as he could.He can die of exhaustion on the plow, but he cannot rest.

He accepts all arrangements and instructions without complaint, entrusts his teammates with the most glorious scoring tasks, and personally completes the dirty work that everyone fears.

People will never hear "I'm done" from him.

"Let me just say it," Jackson said in a flat tone, "Wish is the best player in the game."

Kobe's comment is the same: "There is no doubt that he is the best player in the game. Without him, my 50 points will not help."

Then, the Lakers will set sail for the away game.

San Antonio, a defeat can't shake the confidence of the Spurs.

In the words of Tony Parker: "Why should we be sad? We still have three match points!"

They just lost an away game, one of four match points, no need to be sad, that's all.

The Lakers, who started again, no longer have the enthusiasm and determination of the fourth game.

Once the task of not being swept by the Spurs was completed, everyone looked like they were about to go to the execution ground to die.

"Don't be dejected, okay?" Wei Xia shouted on the plane, "Maybe we can drag it to the sixth game!"

Kobe didn't know if he had made an appointment with Wei Xia in advance, or he really didn't like the people on the plane, "Forget it, talking to this group of unambitious Luthors is useless."

"Who says we have no ambition? We just don't like showing off as much as you guys!" Odom yelled, "We're not going to lose in an away game! Fighting against them, winning a game is a profit, and losing is not a loss. We have no way out!"

"Yes, we fought!"

It was an episode on the plane that allowed the Lakers to change their posture and walk into the ATT Center.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs decisively expressed their determination to defeat the Lakers.

Parker's speed radiated the audience under the home court advantage, and the Lakers couldn't catch him.

In the first quarter, he went 6 of 5 and broke the Lakers' defense by himself.

His dazzling performance made Duncan's performance of scoring 100 points on 9% shooting less eye-catching.

The Spurs used their usual strengths to get off to a good start.

Bryant's determined offense refused to allow the Spurs to continue dominating the second quarter.

In the second half, the Spurs' increasingly strong offensive and defensive pressure prepared to crush the Lakers, just as they had done in the previous four games.

Wei Xia led Odom to stage a gorgeous chapter.

A bright swimmer on the defensive end who hardly looks like a linebacker.

The other offensive end is full of spirituality, with back passes, three-pointers, and strong 2+1 at the basket. He played like the master of the game in half a quarter.

The Lakers were biting, but the Spurs couldn't let them go. The two sides jointly brought the suspense to the fourth quarter of the decisive victory.

"The Spurs feel the game is over, but their opponents don't think so."

At that moment again, the Lakers' flaws are clearly visible, and the Spurs will always have a way to solve the problem.

And Wei Xia couldn't make a goal, Odom couldn't bear the pressure, and when others couldn't stand up, the only solution was to let Kobe get the ball.

You may rely on one person to win a certain game, or you may rely on one person to reach the finals, but you cannot really rely on one person to win the championship.

The Lakers happen to be playing against the team closest to the current championship.

The public believes that as long as the Spurs get the Lakers out of the way, they will be able to go to the finals and kill the chicken kings competing in the Eastern cockfighting field to win the championship.

The Lakers fought with them until the last minute of the last quarter.

Kobe's ultra-long three-pointer narrowed the point difference to 1 point.

Duncan made a steady back hit and made it back to 3 points.

Wei Xia, who was seeking stability, made a quick layup and caught up to 1 point.

No time, the Lakers fouled.

Ginobili made two free throws and returned to 3 points again.

In 8 seconds, the Lakers gave the ball to Kobe. He missed a strong shot under Bowen's defense. The rebound flew to the outside.

The rebound was held by veteran Finley.

At the time, 2.4 seconds.

1 seconds,
0.5 seconds.

At that moment, here comes.

No amount of optimism can control his emotions. When the final whistle symbolized the end of the season, Wei Xia felt his eyes heat up.

Is that the end?
Kobe Bryant had a cold expression on his face, walking up to Wei Xia like a robot indifferently, and stretched out a warm and strong hand.

"Can we actually win once?"

Wei Xia asked him.

Hearing this, Kobe, who had "really" won three times, couldn't restrain his bitterness, and smiled wryly with a tense face.

Yes, he won three times, but with a tall figure around him,
He never used his own strength, with him as the master, to really win once.He also wanted to know what it felt like, that feeling was as warm as Wei Xia's.

Kobe's answer was sincere and simple: "I will."

Then, he pulled Wei Xia up.
