Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 604: Bobo’s face turned green!
The Bobcats' defense has been working very hard.

The intensity is almost at its maximum, and the main target of defense is the three main players of the Lakers.

However, in the end, McGrady still hit this super unreasonable pull-up three-pointer.

For any team, such a pull-up shot by McGrady at such a critical moment, such a life-threatening moment, would be extremely demoralizing.

Just look at all the crazy commentators and experts around the stadium.

Even on the off-court beast list, thanks to this invincible pull-up three-pointer, McGrady's ranking once again surpassed Thabeet and reached the second place.

The Charlotte Arena, which was excited and crazy just now, became a little quiet because of McGrady's super three-pointer. But soon, the quiet Charlotte Arena regained its confidence and madness amid Du Kang's applause.

"Coach D didn't call a timeout! Now Coach D still didn't call a timeout!!!"

"Popovich doesn't need to call a timeout. Does Coach D think he doesn't need to call a timeout? Coach D can try to pull O'Neal or Grant Hill up now, or even both of them!"

However, Du Kang did not call a timeout, but just applauded the Bobcats players on the court. Even Popovich, who was next to him, was a little surprised by Du Kang's behavior.

Because the momentum that the Bobcats had just held was visibly broken by McGrady's three-pointer. It was very obvious that the Bobcats' current situation was not so good.

Even if you believe in the Bobcats' players on the court, it is okay to call a timeout at this time to help the Bobcats players adjust their mood.

But Du Kang just didn't call a timeout.

The Bobcats players on the court also became quieter after Du Kang's applause.

The Bobcats had pushed the tempo before. In previous games, the Bobcats were pushing the tempo while the Lakers were suppressing it. After all, Yao Ming was the slowest player on the court, and the three big men of the Lakers also seemed a little slower than the core players of the Bobcats.

Under such tremendous pressure, most teams will almost subconsciously follow their previous game ideas and thoughts.

It is incredible that the players on the Bobcats were able to slow down the pace under such tremendous pressure.

At this time, the player controlling the rhythm on the court was none other than Jordan!
"Michael Jordan had a difficult time in this year's playoffs. He couldn't get out of his past shadow, which made his current offense very bad. However, there is no doubt that even without his personal offensive singles, Michael Jordan is still one of the greatest leaders in the NBA. I can now understand why Coach D didn't call a timeout, because Michael Jordan on the court has enough game understanding to stabilize the situation and rhythm of the Bobcats!"

Under Kobe's fighting and retreating defense, Jordan slowly pressed across half court and reached the three-point line.

Jordan's eyes were not on Kobe, but on reading the game on the court and the Bobcats players' running positions and tactics.

"Duncan and Thabeet double screen at the free throw line!"

Duncan and Thabeet set double screens at the same time, almost leaving the Lakers' basket empty.

Duncan and Thabeet both have mid-range shooting ability, and Yao Ming and Antetokounmpo will definitely have to catch up a little.

"Is Jordan trying to create an open cut opportunity for Beasley and Rose to the basket?"

At this moment, under such tremendous pressure, shooting is very unstable, even open shots may not be so stable.

The most stable way to attack is to get to the basket and dunk or layup.

Even for a top player like Durant, when it comes to the critical moment, at such a moment, his first choice is not to shoot, but to rush to the basket.

So, everyone at the scene was celebrating because Jordan was creating opportunities for Rose and Beasley to go to the basket.

Even the audience could feel it, so how could the Lakers players not feel it?

Yao Ming, McGrady, McCaw, and Antetokounmpo were facing a formidable enemy.

Even when Kobe was defending Jordan, he would look back from time to time.

It can be said that the attention of the players on both sides is now almost focused to the extreme.

At this moment, Beasley and Rose, who were running towards Thabeet and Duncan, were about to complete the double screen. The four were about to meet up, but suddenly, Duncan, Thabeet, Beasley and Rose scattered in four directions!
"The goddess scatters flowers!!!"

Teacher Zhang Heli shouted excitedly.

At the same time, Jordan, who had been directing traffic, suddenly burst out and passed Kobe in one step!

Kobe never expected that Jordan would choose to break through, the middle was so crowded!
Moreover, Jordan's speed and burst are too fast!!!

After passing Kobe, Jordan almost squeezed through between Duncan and Thabeet!
They are all scattered flowers from the sky. Duncan and Thabeet are the ones who are blocking Yao Ming and Antetokounmpo respectively.

Jordan passed, and Duncan and Thabeet immediately closed the door to block Kobe.

The two did not get too entangled with Yao Ming and Antetokounmpo.

Because they both knew they couldn't get entangled.

Yao Ming's positioning is at the level of a top guard.

Antetokounmpo's confrontation and entanglement with people at the same position are the best in the league.

They only needed to block the two men for a moment to let Jordan pass, and the mission was accomplished!
Yao Ming and Antetokounmpo went to the basket without any hesitation after Duncan and Thabeet pulled away the stools.

Antetokounmpo even jumped up from the spot and flew over, trying to block Jordan!

Because, at this time, Jordan was already flying in the air, sticking out his tongue, holding the basketball in his right hand, and about to dunk!!!
Antetokounmpo's block by jumping on the spot can be said to be powerful.

It's incredible that they can provide such good defensive support!

However, Jordan in the air seemed to pause for a moment. After Antetokounmpo flew over, Jordan avoided Antetokounmpo's block and dunked the ball with one hand!

138 is better than 138!

39 seconds left in the game!
The two teams tied again!

"Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Michael--Jordan!!!"

Looking at Jordan hanging on the basket, the commentators and fans at the scene almost went crazy!
After Jordan hung the ball on the rim for a moment, he came down on his own initiative when the referee came over.

High-five, celebrate, Jordan celebrated with his teammates one by one.

Looking at Jordan like this, Mr. Pi in the TNT team's live broadcast room felt very uncomfortable.

Tai Kuner felt upset. Just now, he said that Jordan was not good at critical moments. If he had not led Jordan when he was in the Bulls, Jordan would not have won a single championship.

Jordan has not yet proven that he has won a championship without me.

If he hadn't come down from the sky to save Soldier Jordan, Jordan would still be a punching bag for Larry Bird and the Assassins. Not to mention the championship, he couldn't even make it out of the Eastern Conference.

Jordan now is the same as he was back then, the only difference is that Jordan back then relied on sucking the blood of himself and Rodman.

And now, Jordan is sucking the blood of the Bobcats and Coach D.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jordan scored a super score with great courage.

In such a situation, it is not easy to get two points to tie the game!
Look at the Lakers' defense just now. Even though Jordan made a sudden attack, Antetokounmpo almost blocked Jordan.

If this person was not Jordan, but anyone else in the league's history, he would have been blocked.

The Lakers' defense just now was absolutely airtight.

After McGrady hit that super three-pointer, the Lakers were prepared to treat this defensive round as the decisive round.

It is absolutely impossible to give the Bobcats any easy scoring opportunities. If they want to score, they can just attack.

Jordan used his experience, wisdom and ability to win a 100% scoring opportunity for the Bobcats.

These two points are really crucial!

That's why the Bobcats fans on the sidelines were so crazy about their boss, singing and dancing. The entire arena was almost resounding with Michael Jordan's cheers.

However, the game is not over yet.

"Pop, do you want to call a timeout?"

Bowen is also very excited now. He has never seen such a perfect game. At the critical moment, both teams not only did not make any mistakes, but they didn't even lose the ball!

All attacks hit the target!

Don’t you think it’s scary?
The Spurs players who had been resentful since coming to the Lakers this season were now stunned by the game.

Danny Green even felt that they were really not qualified to play in such a game. They did not get enough playing time with the Lakers this season. It was not because they lost the palace fight, but because of their strength.

too strong!
The fighting power and willpower shown by these two teams are simply not on the same level as other teams!

Popovich really wanted to call a timeout at this moment, but...

"Pop, Bryant and the others didn't want to call a timeout. They felt that this offense was suitable for a one-shot attack."

Yes reminded him from the side, and Popovich actually saw that Kobe was making a rejection gesture towards the Lakers bench on the sidelines while dribbling the ball.

The meaning is already very clear.

Jordan's powerful dunk just now really boosted the momentum of the Bobcats.

but!

The Lakers have plenty of ways!

Kobe dribbled the ball across half court, and with the help of Antetokounmpo's screen, he got rid of Jordan's pressure and came to the three-point line. Jordan wanted to get close to him again, but Kobe did not hide. Instead, he stood there waiting for Jordan!

The game has reached the most critical moment, Kobe can finally exert his strength!

After an extremely powerful confrontation with Jordan, Kobe almost broke through Jordan at an angle!
Every time Jordan saw Kobe's incredible breakthrough, he would find it incredible.

This is basketball that combines ball protection, confrontation and one's own skills to the extreme!

This is Kobe's best basketball!

Although he couldn't last the entire game, Kobe could do it in the most crucial round at the most crucial moment!
However, at this moment, even if Kobe used such an incredible breakthrough method, he could not get an offensive opportunity immediately.

"The Bobcats switched defense too fast and Kobe couldn't get up!!!"

After being broken through by Kobe, Jordan almost immediately switched positions with Beasley. Jordan came in front of McGrady, while Beasley covered Kobe.

At this point, Kobe had already lost some of his balance, and if he forced his move, he would likely make a mistake even if he wasn't blocked!
"Kobe didn't get up!!!"

"Oh my god, Kobe is leaning towards Beasley again!!!"

"incredible!!!"

Not only the audience and commentators found it unbelievable, even Beasley found it extremely unbelievable.

After an irregular collision with Kobe, Kobe stumbled towards the basket like a spinning top!!!

At this time, the one under the most pressure was Duncan, who was struggling with Yao Ming for position.

Next to him is Yao Ming, and the man coming over is called Kobe Bryant!!!
To release or not to release?!

"Duncan chose not to move!!!"

"Oh my god, it's not that Duncan didn't move. Duncan chose to move only when Kobe jumped up and leaned back to prepare for the shot!!!"

"The roc spreads its wings!!!"

Teacher Zhang Heli excitedly yelled out an adjective again.

At this time, Duncan was like a big roc, covering Kobe tightly!
"This is a perfect defensive timing. Duncan chose the right defensive timing!!!"

Seeing Duncan flying over and about to block him, Kobe forced himself up, having lost his balance in the air, and a smile appeared on his face.

Thiem's ​​defense and defensive awareness are perfect!

but!

“Yao!!!!”

Kobe shouted and threw the basketball in his hand high up!
Kobe didn't even intend to hit it!
"Tim, help the board!!!"

Of course Duncan knew it was an assist!
So as soon as Duncan landed, he immediately jumped up from the spot and flew back!

but!

That's Yao Ming!

That is Yao Ming, a big center whose skills are all above gold!
If any other center had been substituted, the result of Duncan's one-on-two defense might have been different.

But, this is Yao Ming!
Duncan's defense is on point!

However, Yao Ming's body had already flown over and pinned him down!

"Dunk!!!"

Amid the exclamations of the fans, Duncan was almost pressed down from the air by Yao Ming!

Bang!
Yao Ming rode on Duncan, slammed the basketball in his hand into the basket with one hand!

140 is better than 138!

With 18 seconds left in the game, the Bobcats were trailing by two points again!
The scene was dead silent, and at the same time all the cameras were aimed at Du Kang on the sidelines.

When the audience in front of the TV saw what Du Kang was doing, all their eyes widened.

Even Popovich widened his eyes when he saw what Du Kang was doing on the big screen.

"Oh my god, Coach D didn't even call a timeout on the last possession!!!"

"But the Bobcats made a substitution. The Bobcats chose to make a substitution. Parker and Ginobili, who had been warming up on the sidelines, were ready to play!!!"

Parker replaced Rose and Ginobili replaced Jordan.

“GDP!!!!”

Obviously, the two original organizers, Rose and Jordan, were replaced by Parker and Ginobili.

This is obviously to let GDP carry out the Lakers' final attack!
"OMG!!!!"

At this moment, I don’t know how many people were exclaiming.

"Hahahaha, even if Coach Durant loses the game, he still has to give Pop a thumbs up, hahahaha, too funny..."

At this time, all the live broadcast cameras were aimed at Du Kang and Popovich's faces.

There was a smile on Du Kang's face.

And the expression on Popovich's face turned green!
