I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 178 To Be Continued
As the bullfight between Kobe and Thompson came to an end, the third quarter also ended, and the Lakers continued to maintain their lead 87-78.

When it comes to the fourth quarter to determine the outcome, no matter how many people in front score or contribute, in the end it is up to the core players in the team to stand up and score.

So the sniper gods took out their sniper rifles again, the monsters troubled by fouls reappeared, and Bogut was ready to act again, and the life-and-death mutual killing between the champions started again.

After the start, Curry hit an ultra-long three-pointer under the cover of David Lee, and Chu Xiao completed an alley-oop with Warcraft during the rapid advance. The score between the two sides was always around 8 points, and continued to win. 5 minutes.

At 6 minutes and 48 seconds of the fourth quarter, when the Lakers focused on Curry's three-pointers, Thompson suddenly scored two consecutive three-pointers without a sound, and the score was suddenly reduced to 2 minutes.

"Mine, mine." Kobe couldn't help blaming himself when he saw this. He felt that he was not pressing enough against Thompson's defense, so he took the initiative to take the blame, and then pressed his lips to force Thompson to miss a shot. Hurry up and swear to win back a city.

However, Bogut stood at the basket early and Kobe took off and changed hands for a layup when he was one step away from him. Bogut immediately jumped up to block the block.

With a crisp sound of "shua", the basketball fell into the basket, but Kobe fell to the ground.

"I didn't do anything!" Bogut raised his hands first.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Chu Xiao immediately rushed to help Kobe, but was stopped by Gasol, "Don't move, his injury is unknown now, wait a moment, otherwise it is easy to cause secondary injury. "

"What's the matter with you?" Chu Xiao asked Bogut angrily.

"I didn't do anything!" Bogut said, stepping back.

"I don't believe it, everyone knows what kind of person you are!" Chu Xiao pressed on every step of the way, and then both of them were separated by their teammates, avoiding a conflict.

Only then did the referee know that he stepped forward to give Chu Xiao and Bogut a technical foul, and then called the surveillance to find that Kobe hit Bogut's knee with his right foot during a layup and fell to the ground injured.

"It's that bastard." Chu Xiao couldn't help but stepped forward to find Bogut's theory again, but Gasol grabbed him again, "This kind of normal physical contact in the air, it's not like stepping on purpose, you blame it He's no use either."

"But I can't swallow this breath, because that person is dirty playing ball!" Chu Xiao refused to accept.

"Let's wait for Kobe to get up first. If you are really unconvinced, you can respond to him with points on the court." Fortunately, Gasol presided over the overall situation. After Kobe was in pain on the ground for a long time before he calmed down, he said This layup collision is no wonder Bogut, there is no need to cause a conflict.

"Boss, then go down and rest for a while, we are on the field." Chu Xiao said worriedly.

"No, no, I want to continue playing." Kobe still gritted his teeth and refused to end.

"But……"

"No but, come on!" Bryant had already limped onto the court.

"Hey!" Chu Xiao could only keep up. Just like Gasol said, this kind of normal physical contact in the game is indeed no one's fault, but if there is anger, it can be released on the field.

So, after the game restarted, Curry hit a three-pointer, and the Warriors were only 1 point behind. At this time, Chu Xiao broke through Curry's defense with continuous dribbles and feints. He rushed all the way to the basket and faced Bogut's defense. Flying and dunking, trying to widen the point difference for the Lakers, but when he found that Bogut came out to defend him, Warcraft became unguarded at the basket, so he still passed the ball in, and the latter dunked the ball.

"That's it? I'll hide when I see you?" Bogut said in a provocative tone.

"Just wait, there will be a next time." Chu Xiao put down these words.

After the Warriors' offense hit, the Lakers' lead was still only 1 point. After the injury, Kobe still stubbornly demanded the ball. If he wanted to stand up and turn the situation around, Chu Xiao had to pass it to him.

So the heart-wrenching side appeared again. Kobe succeeded in singles against Thompson, and then broke into the inside to prepare for a layup. He was fouled by Bogut. When he landed, he sprained the injury again, and his expression instantly twisted in pain.

"Boss, I beg you, just go down and rest for a while!" Chu Xiao really couldn't stand it.

"No, there's never been a slight injury in my dictionary." Kobe Bryant looked calm, but limped and insisted on making two free throws.

"Then this time, can you make an exception for me?" Chu Xiao asked again.

Kobe was a little curious, "It's normal to get injured during the game, why do you have to let me go down, will I be reimbursed for the season if I continue to play?"

"Bah, bah, boss, don't talk nonsense." Chu Xiao hurriedly interrupted, "No one has the ability to predict, I know that the boss can continue to play with injuries, but this is an ordinary regular game after all, we will win or lose I entered the playoffs, but this game is not normal for me, because I want to compete with Curry on the three-pointer, and if you stay on the court, boss, I will be ashamed to occupy the right to shoot."

Chu Xiao came up with this reason on a whim, but he did not expect Kobe to agree after hearing it, "That's right, now is the critical moment for voting in the All-Star Game, and the three-point contest between you and Curry is the focus of everyone's attention. If you can win from it, you will definitely attract a lot of votes for yourself. Well, okay, I will pretend that I can’t hold on and go on, and leave the opportunity to you kid, but I’m ugly in the first place, this game can’t be lost, win We're going to be sixth in the West."

"Don't worry, it's time for me to show my real skills." Chu Xiao said eagerly.

"Small!" After Kobe finished speaking, he really applied to the coaching staff for a substitution, endured the pain and finally left the field and returned to the locker room for examination and treatment.

此时距离比赛还有3分6秒的时间，湖人握有3分的领先优势，“M24”与“98K”的重新较量又开始了。

After the Warriors had the ball, Curry dribbled through halftime, and faced Chu Xiao who was leaning over, he shot a three-pointer ahead of time, and the result was a direct hit. Warcraft found Chu Xiao after laughing at the rebound. This time it was the Lakers' turn to attack. After entering, the point difference will be properly opened again, so this offense is very important, and the Warriors also sent out a defensive strategy of marking and assisting defense.

Chu Xiao first encountered Curry's marking at the top of the arc, and he used a post-up single that he rarely used, because Curry was not as tall as him and had no advantage in defending his shot, so he had to choose a hard top. Then call your companions over to help defend.

When Thompson rushed over to form an encirclement with Curry, Chu Xiao seemed to have a layer of oil on his back, and kept shaking left and right to test the position of the person behind him, and then slid between Curry and Thompson. After passing by, his eyes lit up, and he immediately shot the ball.

Chu Xiao used back singles at this time because he felt that his physical condition had an advantage over Curry, otherwise he would never use it easily, because not everyone can use this technique superbly, even in singles. A person whose height and weight are superior to him, unless he is Kobe.

Kobe Bryant likes to leapfrog and challenge taller and heavier players in post-up singles. The most typical one is singles James.

In terms of James' strength and height, there is no problem in wanting to stand up to Kobe, but if he makes a hard top while Kobe is exerting strength, with Kobe's technique, he can directly slip to the bottom line or turn his back and turn for a layup.

James has the advantages of height, strength, wingspan, and jumping. When Kobe Bryant hits back, he does not stand up hard, but backs up, only guarding against his shot. This is also impossible. If it is replaced by Wade For defense, he doesn't have a height advantage, so when he can't prevent the shot, he can only stand up hard, so the result is that he can't stand up to Kobe, and he is directly turned around or shakes up to make a foul.

This principle is why Chu Xiao can suddenly turn around when Curry is resisting, but it is a pity that the turn and hasty shot, this very beautiful dribble, failed to score.

The Lakers still only maintain a 3-point advantage, with 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

The Warriors' last chance to attack was placed on Curry, so he crossed the center line and shot again. Chu Xiao rushed to block the block without causing substantial interference, but the position of the shot was too far away, so it still didn't make a goal. .

The Lakers got another chance to expand the score. Chu Xiao came to the three-point line like a galloping horse, and then dribbled the ball behind his back. Curry thought he was going to single him again, and was about to go up to resist, but found that the opponent was just pretending. And when he stepped forward, he suddenly turned around and wiped the inside line.

Due to the sudden turn around and the Warriors' inside defense was not in place, the door was wide open, Chu Xiao moved forward at a high speed and then jumped and dunked after one step past the free throw line.

"Hey!" Bogut suddenly came out from the slanting stab. He first yelled to distract Chu Xiao, and then he was about to stand in front and make an offensive foul.

Bogut is 2.13 meters tall and weighs nearly 230 kilograms. Standing under the basket is a wall. Many point guards will choose to avoid this situation. Otherwise, the Lamborghini hits the tank and both sides suffer.

But Chu Xiao had been provoked by the other party before, and he had long been resentful towards him because of Kobe's injury, so he didn't care so much, he kept moving, and the speed didn't slow down, so he bumped straight into it.

"Oh!"

Chu Xiao straightened up and made a poster-style dunk. Unbelievably, Bogut fell to the ground and was knocked down.Even Curry held his head in his hands and couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, but in fact it happened.

"Oh!" Chu Xiao raised her head and roared angrily after landing, then glanced down at Bogut and said, "That's it? It's paper, right?"

The latter blushed with anger, but there was nothing he could do. First he provoked others, and then he rushed forward in a hasty defense just now. Not only did he not cause an offensive foul, but he was dunked and fell to the ground. This time, he was really ashamed and thrown at home, and he had no face to refute.

The Lakers lead by 5 points with 1:30 left in the game.

Curry continued to shoot three-pointers after halftime this time. Maybe he was unconvinced by two consecutive misses, or maybe he didn't want to fight with Chu Xiao at close range. In short, he just continued to shoot neatly.

With the cheers of the fans, this ultra-long three-pointer finally scored, and the score was reduced to 2 points at once. This is the benefit of betting on life and shooting three-pointers.

"Chu Xiao, you shoot too!" Kobe was not on the court, and Gasol was the big brother. After he spoke, other teammates pulled away to make room.

So Chu Xiao and Curry fought for a three-pointer, but they missed.

Looking back, Curry missed another shot, but Chu Xiao shot and hit!
Curry voted and hit!

Chu Xiao voted, but missed!

Curry made a shot and missed!
In the end, with Curry's final miss, the Lakers won the final victory 118-116.

此役“M24”楚晓与“98K”库里对决的结果是，楚晓今天上场39分钟，19投10中，其中三分球16投8中，得到28分、4篮板、4助攻、2抢断。库里则上场40分钟，20投11中，其中三分球16投8中，罚球2投2中，得到32分、2篮板、4助攻。

It can be said that both Chu Xiao and Curry performed very well beyond the three-point line.So far, only two players have made at least 10 ultra-long three-pointers of 30+ feet this season, and they are Curry and Chu Xiao, and their shooting percentages are very close, exceeding 40%.

In this game, the two also made 16 of 8 shots, and their shooting percentage reached a consistent 50%.

Which one is better, it is estimated that it can only be continued.

Because the Lakers and Warriors belong to the Western Conference of the NBA, the two teams will play four times a season, and there will be three more times, which is enough for them to compete.
