NBA: I really just want to be a second-in-command

Chapter 111 [Please stay]

Ball, fly in the air...

In an instant, everyone's hearts were suspended in the air...

"Lu's supplementary defense didn't seem to interfere with Ray Allen, and he still used almost perfect movements to throw the ball!" Standall shouted.

The arc of the ball also seems to be perfect, flying towards the basket...

tie!
The ball... hit the front of the basket!

Iron!

Wilcox is the closest to the rebound at this time, and the closest to this rebound!
He jumped high and grabbed this rebound!
Tip!

The final whistle sounded almost simultaneously!
Although the goal was added, the referee indicated that the goal was invalid.

The Sonics players immediately went to the referee to argue.

There was also a huge din from the Staples Center.

Under pressure, the referee had no choice but to watch the replay of the video.

At this time, after Ray Allen shot the three-pointer, he collapsed to the ground.

He never stood up, just staring at the basket and the championship flags fluttering over the arena.

He didn't seem to care whether Wilcox's putback counted or not.

He is still reminiscing about that three-point shot just now.

It was the ball, he knew, and it was over.

Those remaining struggles, stubbornness, and persistence in my heart.

everything he ever believed in

all wrong,
Also, it's time to end...

In front of his eyes, coach McMillan's kind face appeared.

His sweat and tears were mixed together, and he couldn't tell the difference for a while...

He knew that starting from this ball, his career...will change...

"Hey, don't you even have the strength to stand up?"

A voice interrupted his thoughts.

Ray Allen looked up and found that it was Kobe.

"Does it make you so weak every time you fight against me?"

Kobe held out his hand, motioning to pull him up.

Ray Allen hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and was pulled up.

"You damn guy, your words are always so disliked." Ray Allen said.

"Hey, it's just a regular season failure, isn't it?" Kobe laughed.

"Hmph, a regular season? But I think you played harder than anyone else. When you were behind just now, you wanted to eat up your teammates." Ray Allen said.

Kobe laughed loudly, "You are not much better, you missed that three-pointer, and you are so angry that you don't even have the strength to stand up."

"I...I'm different from you," Ray Allen said with a sad expression, "I really want to win this game today... This game...is really important to me..."

Kobe was taken aback, looking at Ray Allen's complicated expression. Although he couldn't guess the specific reason, he still patted Ray Allen on the shoulder comfortingly.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you are not good at lore, that is what I am good at."

Kobe said, "The next game will be a contest between our two teams, no, it will be a contest between the two of us."

"Go to hell, if it weren't for your No. 6, you would have lost."

They both laughed, hugged and parted ways.

Although the referee has not made a decision yet, everyone can clearly see from the replay video that when Wilcox made the shot, the game time was already over.

So naturally the goal was ruled invalid.

On the big screen in the Staples Center, the scene of Lu Yusheng's desperate throw to interfere with Ray Allen's last three-pointer was continuously replayed.

The commentator Standall said, "Unfortunately, from several broadcast perspectives, it is not clear whether Lu's block this time has covered Ray Allen. The tip touched a tiny bit."

"Doyle, you have to understand that for shooting, especially three-pointers, even if you hit a little, the impact is actually very big." Mark Jackson said.

"Whether Lu has blocked the ball, I am afraid only he knows, but I want to emphasize that even if Lu did not block, or Ray Allen made the ball, in the situation just now, Lu Neng Appearing in that position to interfere with the jump is already terrifying."

"That's right, the tactic that coach Bob Hill just arranged is really wonderful. Everyone was deceived by his two-pointer tactic in front of him, but it turned out to be a three-pointer tactic in the end."

"So I have always said that Coach Bob Hill is really a very talented coach, but unfortunately, I am afraid that this game will be his last game coaching in the Sonics."

"It's a real shame," Stendall said. "We didn't really want it to happen, but it did happen anyway, whether they continue to work together in the future or part ways, or hope that they can have better things." Let’s talk about the future, Mark, and go back to the ball just now.”

"Oh, what I want to say is that under such a clever and concealed tactic, Lu was able to detect this trap at the first time and react the fastest. This is definitely a terrifying existence. Doyle, I really do I am very optimistic about this rookie of the Lakers, he may change the current pattern of the league."

"Oh? You really think so?" Standall asked.

Mark Jackson said, "Of course, in fact, this game is not only the last ball, but there are actually many balls and many details. We can feel that this kid has a talent for tactical understanding.

Doyle, if you think about it, if a rookie can have such insight and decisiveness in his third game, it would be incredible, which is something that many point guards who have played in the league for many years do not have. If this is the case, then A. Smith's words may become a reality. "

"The point guard nemesis of the future league?"

"That's right, I'm not joking at all, Doyle," Mark Jackson said, "These balls, under such circumstances, he dared to make such a decision, behind it represents something you can't imagine, And those things might be enough to make him an all-time player."

"Mark, although I believe in your professional ability and your vision as a point guard, after all, Lu has only finished his third rookie game. We don't care about his height in the future. What kind of height can the Lakers achieve this season?"

"Well, we discussed this topic before, it was not long after the game started, and I said everything was not easy to say, but now, after watching the whole game, I think if Lu and Kobe can maintain In this state, without injuries, they will go very far this year, and they may even join the ranks of the championship team."

"Oh, the referee finally declared that Wilcox's goal was disallowed, and the Lakers ended up winning the game.

Although it is a bit difficult to win this game, the Lakers have indeed won their three consecutive victories since the start of the season. "

Standall said, "Whether the Lakers can reach Mark Jackson's prediction just now this season, let us wait and see their future games. I would like to remind everyone that the next game will be a contest between them and the Sonics. I hope everyone Follow and tune in then.”

After the game, Kobe was still surrounded by a lot of media.

This is normal for Kobe.

But what he didn't expect was that the little brother not far away, Lu Yusheng, was also surrounded by a large number of media.

This scene seems to be a bit catching up with his own momentum.

Meng Xia was also among those reporters, so Lu Yusheng still gave Meng Xia the opportunity to interview alone.

"Hey, Lu Yusheng, I am very glad that you can accept our interview. First of all, congratulations to you and the Lakers. You have won this game and won this game. You have already won three consecutive victories in the new season. Thank you for that. Anything you want to share with the Huaxia fans in front of the TV?"

Meng Xia was very polite and professional in front of Lu Yusheng.

But Lu Yusheng always recalled her hot performance in his apartment that night, and it was really hard to look directly at her serious appearance now.

"Thank you for your attention and support. I believe everyone has seen that this game has been very intense, so it is indeed not easy to win this three-game winning streak." Lu Yusheng said while wiping his sweat.

"This is also the first time you and Kobe have appeared together. How do you feel playing with him?" Meng Xia asked.

"Of course it feels good to play with my idol. He is the kind of superstar who can dominate the game. Playing next to him, I can learn a lot. After all, I am just a rookie and need more time to grow. He went to run in, and I believe our cooperation will be better in the future."

"Win such a difficult game, do you plan to celebrate after the game?"

"Not yet," Lu Yusheng said with a smile, "Because Kobe told me just now not to leave after the game, probably there are still some things to guide me about the game, it's probably too late to finish, congratulations Never mind."

"There is one last question." Meng Xia said, "We are all concerned about Ray Allen's three-pointer at the end, did you catch him? After all, it is not clear from the live broadcast screen." Meng Xia asked, " Everyone is paying attention to it.”

Lu Yusheng smiled, "That ball...Actually, I didn't hit it."

"Oh, well, thank you Lu Yusheng for accepting our interview, I wish you better and better in the next competition!"

"Thank you."

After Lu Yusheng accepted the interview, he turned to leave.

Meng Xia suddenly gestured for a phone call, and Lu Yusheng was taken aback.

……

Ray Allen returned to the locker room, and there was silence in the locker room.

Everyone looked a little downcast.

After all, there is nothing more uncomfortable than losing at the last moment in such an anxious game.

Ray Allen scanned around, but did not see coach Bob Hill.

He went into the bathroom silently, and came out to change after taking a shower.

The locker room remained silent.

"Hey, cheer up, it's just a regular-season loss."

At some point, coach Bob Hill came in, clapped his hands and said to everyone.

Everyone looked up at him.

"Listen, even though we lost this game, I think you played perfectly tonight. This is the most perfect game you have played since I joined the team."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Everyone listen to me, you have to know that in many cases, when you do the right thing, you may not be able to succeed, because in many cases, luck is also a part of life. The Lakers can win today, but it does not mean that they won. They are better than us, it just means that their luck is better than ours tonight, that's all, understand?"

The Sonics players nodded.

Although they couldn't let go of the defeat of the game because of Bob Hill's words, they knew that Bob Hill's hatred for defeat far surpassed them.

He comforted them in turn, and they were naturally very moved.

"However, what I want to tell you is that maybe we will lose a game or two due to luck, but as long as we persist in doing the right things, we will eventually win the favor of the goddess of victory, guys, cheer up, you guys The best players I have ever coached, believe in yourselves and you will succeed."

He paused and said, "I didn't get along well with you before, it's my responsibility... If what I said before hurt you, I'm here to apologize to you formally, I hope you won't be influenced by me, In the upcoming schedule, follow in the footsteps of the new coach, achieve excellent results, and win the championship!"

After finishing speaking, Bob Hill bowed deeply to everyone.

Then he wiped away his tears, turned and walked away.

"Coach Hill."

Ray Allen stopped him.

Bob Hill didn't turn around, he was afraid that everyone would see him crying.

"Do you have to go?"

Ray Allen walked over, "Maybe... we can have a good talk, in fact, you and us are very compatible, this year, we have actually formed a good tacit understanding, I mean Yeah... just like tonight's game, before the game they didn't like us, but you led us to almost win the game, and, the three-point shot you designed for me at the end was the best three-point shot I've ever seen The ball tactics are better than any coach."

Bob Hill was stunned for a moment, he was better than any coach, obviously... even his most respected coach McMillan was counted! !
Ray Allen continued, "Through today's game, I also understand what you have always insisted on, and even more, the fatal flaw of the three-pointer tactic, and also understand how naive my stubbornness was at the beginning. I know , It may be a bit late to realize this now, but I still want to say that we need you very much, as long as you are willing, we are willing to play for you for the rest of your life, and hope you can stay."

"Yes, coach, we are all willing to play for you!"

Other teammates also hurriedly said.

When Bob Hill heard this, he quickly touched his pocket and found that the diagnostic report was gone.

Only then did he understand why these guys made such changes in the second half.

Bob Hill stood there, trembling slightly.

In the locker room, there was silence.

half an hour,

When he turned around, his face was already full of tears...
