Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 48 A Little Luck

"Good shot, Al's low post is still good."

"Unfortunately, Stephen may be a little tired. It is rare for him to miss a free throw."

On the Timberwolves' bench, Zhang Sixin began to appreciate the changes on the court from the perspective of the audience.

More than three minutes later, Curry suddenly went crazy, first made a foul, then stole a ball from Gasol, and made a one-stop layup.

Now, the gap between the two teams is only three points.

Even from the perspective of a pure audience, Zhang Sixin was a little nervous.

As nervous as he is, there are still many fans standing in front of the live broadcast.

Timberwolves this season, with the appearance of Zhang Sixin and the improvement of the team's record, there are a lot more fans.

"The Timberwolves may be able to reverse this..."

"The Timberwolves and many strong teams can play to the last few minutes, but they are still close at critical moments."

"What a near miss. The Timberwolves can compete with a strong team like this, and they are also very strong. They also have a chance to win, and this game may be fine."

"This game is too difficult, and the Lakers are still too strong. If the Lakers didn't like waves, the game would have ended long ago."

"The Timberwolves can't guard against Kobe at all, you see! Right."

In the Lakers' offense, Bryant got a dislocation, fouled Curry and made two free throws.

Back, Love missed two points.

But Love got the offensive rebound and hit the second offense. The Timberwolves still have hope.

In the last 2 minutes of time, Kobe gave the ball to Artest after being flanked, but Artest missed the ball outside the three-point line.

Love grabbed the rebound and threw it directly to the fast-moving DeRozan.

Zhang Sixin subconsciously stood up, no matter what the handsome demeanor, he didn't care about the importance of the game.

DeRozan went very fast this time, but Kobe chased back faster.

Kobe didn't care whether he was a rookie in front of him or not, and he made a vicious foul to stop the Timberwolves from this fast break.

DeRozan fell to the ground, and Zhang Sixin's heart tightened.

But on the court, such confrontations always happen, and the referee thinks it's just an ordinary foul.

Fortunately, DeRozan is in good health, and there is no problem after being pulled up by his teammates.

But when he got to the free throw line, he only made one of two free throws.

Zhang Sixin was a little sorry, why the players didn't make free throws so steadily today.

If both DeRozan and Curry hit free throws, the score would be tied now.

But he didn't show it, and gave a thumbs up to the players on the field.

At this time, the defense of both sides was very tight, and the referee turned a blind eye to some physical contact.

When the time entered the last minute, Kobe suddenly squeezed DeRozan and staggered, causing him to make a mistake and complete the steal.

The Lakers counterattacked quickly, and the Timberwolves' players responded quickly, pinching Kobe nearby.

Kobe lobbed the ball to Gasol, and Gasol raised his hand to find someone. Unexpectedly, Curry rushed over from the side again and stabbed the ball down.

Both sides made mistakes at the critical moment, and Zhang Sixin was in a mood of ups and downs on the court.

Curry has made three steals today, and his reaction is indeed very fast.

Even if the three-pointer did not meet expectations, Curry's performance was not bad.

Curry passed the ball directly to the front after the steal, and the players on both sides switched offense and defense instantly.

Jefferson, who hadn't had time to retreat just now, received the ball and was about to make a layup. Fisher saw that it was not in a hurry, so he hugged him directly.

Jefferson's free throw was still stable, and the two teams tied at 103.

The Lakers requested a timeout this time because there were only 36 seconds left in the game.

After the timeout, the Lakers sent the ball directly to Kobe, but Kobe didn't pause, and then the teammate's cover went in and killed.

The Timberwolves' pincer attack also rushed up. In fact, Matthews, who was the main defender, had already been blocked, but Zhang Sixin's strategy was that as long as Kobe rushed in with the ball, everyone except Jefferson, who moved slowly, had to assist in the defense.

Kobe saw the Timberwolves players coming and didn't pass the ball, so he directly forced it.

This time the referee's whistle blew and Love was fouled for holding hands.

Kobe stood grimly at the free throw line, but he also missed a free throw this time.

In the final quarter, the Timberwolves kept attacking him, and Kobe's consumption was not small.

The Lakers' quick attack this time is also to give themselves another chance to attack.

Kobe scored a free throw and the Lakers are already ahead, with 31 seconds left, which is pretty good.

Zhang Sixin also called a timeout, and then replaced DeRozan with Belinelli.

Although DeRozan did not defend Kobe in the last quarter, he still faced Kobe on the offensive end, and the young man had already consumed a lot.

At this time, the Timberwolves still need players who can catch the ball and make quick shots.

Zhang Sixin still let Curry hold the ball and play high pick-and-rolls to find opportunities, and Jefferson stayed on the court just to restrain him.

If you give the inside line now, it is really easy to make mistakes.

Love came up to cover Curry, but twice in a row, the Timberwolves failed to find a chance.

At the critical moment, the Lakers' defense has been upgraded by at least two levels.

Curry felt average today, and he didn't make a shot easily.

But after several hesitation, the Timberwolves' attack time was quickly consumed.

The more critical the game is, the more players will feel that 24 seconds are not enough.

At this time, Curry was also forced by the opponent's defense to an area very close to the sideline, and almost made a mistake.

Just like how Kobe dealt with DeRozan, Fisher took advantage of Curry's adjustment and squeezed Curry with his strong body. Except for his ineffective shooting, his strong body is a rare advantage for Fisher now.

Just squeeze, the referee rarely calls a foul, but if the ball handler is not strong enough, it will be affected.

Curry was almost forced out of the sideline to drop the ball. When he did this, the Lakers experienced an uphill attack.

Under normal circumstances, even veteran players are prone to mistakes in this situation.

Curry was on the verge of making a mistake, but he did a good job and threw the ball directly to the bottom line by throwing it.

Matthews received the ball and shot directly.

When the basketball flew out of his hands, the Lakers' defenders rushed over.

Curry almost made a mistake and also attracted the attention of the Lakers players, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

The basketball fell into the basket with a swipe, and Matthews made the second three-pointer of the field, which was also a key three-pointer.

In this round, the Lakers had three more seconds to defend successfully. Unexpectedly, the Timberwolves made a decisive blow and instantly surpassed by 2 points, leaving only 10 seconds for the Lakers.

"Defend, defend..." Zhang Sixin shouted from the sidelines.

However, the Lakers still called a timeout, and he had enough time to deploy defenses.

Jefferson went down, Brewer came up, Zhang Sixin's first requirement for players was to pay attention to Kobe and the three-point line.

The Lakers are two points behind and are likely to deploy a three-point tactic.

It doesn't matter if they don't, at least the game won't be over if there is a tie.
