NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 206 The Hope of Winning the Series
Kobe passed the ball out, ran back against the screen and received the ball again to break through.Li Zhi stepped on the time to get to the basket and provoked the block.

The two confronted in the air, and Li Zhi was hit on the cheek by Kobe's flying elbow.For Li Zhi who has a Super Saiyan, this is nothing, but another person will definitely have to get down.

Li Zhi had an idea and fell straight down, but the referee called a blocking foul.

"MD, it's another star whistle, if I knew it, I wouldn't have fallen!"

Li Zhi wanted to stand up and talk to the referee, but thinking that he was acting, he continued to lie on the ground and covered his face.

Kobe was also frightened by Li Zhi's expression. He had a good personal relationship with Li Zhi, but he lost his mind because of Barnes and Jackson's trash talking.

The violent Barnes rushed directly to Kobe, and Jackson ran up behind.Kobe raised his hands, expressing that he didn't want to argue with Barnes. His face was ugly, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Gasol and Bynum joined the battle group, O'Neal pulled away the Lakers players, Kobe was double-teamed by the Warriors in the crowd, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

The referee pulled several people away, discussed together, and after slow-motion playback, finally decided to change the sentence.Bryant made an offensive foul, Barnes took a technical foul, Bryant hit a free throw, and the game continued.

Nelson was worried about Li Zhi and wanted to replace Li Zhi, but Li Zhi winked at Nelson from an angle that others could not notice, signaling him not to worry.

Nelson was instantly happy, and his disciple also learned from Jackson.

Next, the scale of whistle-blowing by non-referees obviously began to decrease. This game was really torturing the referees. The Warriors fans booed them in the audience. They have seen booing players and coaches, but they have never seen booing referees yet.

Li Zhi and O'Neill picked and rolled, and broke through the middle against Bynum, causing Bynum to foul.Warriors fans cheered.

The fans couldn't hear Jackson provoking Kobe with trash talk, but the fans could clearly see Kobe elbowing Li Zhi.Bryant's black elbow is as much a label as his shooting percentage, and he has been suspended five times for elbow strikes before.

Li Zhi made two free throws, and the point difference continued to widen.

The Warriors attacked, and Jackson cursed beside Kobe: "Come on, criminal, come on and elbow me!"

Kobe ignored Jackson, he only had offense in his eyes, and he changed direction and accelerated towards the inside to break through.

Kobe didn't dare to elbow again, but Jackson did. When Kobe broke through, he and Kobe had a secret physical contact. Jackson seized the opportunity and elbowed Kobe's little mm.Regardless of men and women, there are two major acupuncture points on the body, one for the crotch and the other for the chest.

Kobe was knocked out of his strength by this blow, and he and Jackson fell together in an instant.

With only the ball in his eyes, Jackson got up and grabbed the basketball.The referee came over, and Jackson gave the ball to the referee indifferently, rubbing his stomach decently, as if he was attacked.

The referee was speechless. They didn't see Jackson's action, but looking at Jackson's face, it didn't look like he was injured at all. They could only deal with it lightly and sentenced him to an ordinary foul.

1 beasts of grass flew over Kobe's heart, and he was about to explode with anger. This was definitely a technical foul.

Li Zhi helped Jackson up, and Jackson cried for his father and mother.When Li Zhi touched him, Jackson grinned decently, and Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Li Zhi's expression, Kobe could conclude that Jackson did it on purpose.He greeted Jackson's eighteenth-generation female compatriots in his heart, how could this TM Jackson give a shit plaster, and that Barnes.The two fell down when they touched each other, cried when they burst out, and if they didn't attack on the offensive end, they just pestered themselves and cursed, just like grandson!
As soon as the referee left, Jackson laughed immediately, and said humbly, "If you dare to break through me, try again, and if you dare to break through, I will kill you!"

grass!Kobe yelled.

The Lakers served, Kobe singled Jackson from the outside, and made an emergency stop jump shot.Jackson didn't block the shot either, and stretched his hand directly towards Kobe's crotch.

Kobe looked at Jackson's movements, and immediately adjusted his shooting movements, clamping his legs.Kobe lost his rhythm in the air, and the basketball hit the basket.

Milicic took the rebound and the Warriors launched a fast break again.

Milicic passed to Jackson. Jackson kept catching the ball and threw it directly to Gerald Green in the frontcourt. Green Ariza scored on the basketball.

In the next round, Kobe was in a hurry.Forced a three-point shot from the outside, Jackson wanted to make another shot, but Kobe didn't hide.Seeing the referee's gaze, Jackson withdrew his hand resentfully, with a dull expression on his face.

Kobe made a three-pointer, but he couldn't be happy in his heart.What the hell kind of expression do you have, you look so dull, and you are addicted to poking?
The situation on the court continued, and continued to play for 3 minutes. Kobe recovered his touch, and Jackson failed to defend Kobe for several rounds. 61:53, the Lakers began to chase points.

The Warriors attacked, O'Neal went high to cover, Li Zhi threw off Ariza, and received the basketball on the right.Li Zhi didn't stop catching the ball, and rushed straight towards the penalty area, stepped on the white line of the penalty area, stared at Gasol and took two steps, and put the basketball into the basket with both hands.

Li Zhi never dodges layups. Like Kobe, Rose, and Iverson, they always pull the lever to dodge when encountering confrontation when layups, but he doesn't need it at all.If there is a confrontation, just push it up, and maybe you can cheat a 2+1, which is why Li Zhi has never put on a tie rod for a layup.

Although the pull-up layup is handsome, you can't cheat fouls.

Sure enough, the referee's whistle rang, and Gasol fouled.Li Zhi made two free throws, 63:53.
The Lakers attack, Gasol dribbled two steps after receiving the ball and passed it to Ariza on the outside, who missed the shot.At the critical moment, Gasol hesitated, so he could only be the second master.

Gasol has now scored 20 points and scored a lot, but he still chose to pass the ball at the important moment of chasing points.

O'Neal took the rebound and passed the ball to Gerald Green. Green was chased by Ariza for a layup and missed.The Lakers get the basketball and attack in position.

Kobe Bryant missed a jumper from the outside and Gasol scrambled for an offensive rebound.Milicic is stuck, but Gasol has a strong sense of competition. He presses Milicic with his left hand and stretches his right hand, trying to get the offensive rebound.

But the next moment, a terrible scene appeared.Milicic stooped and Gasol fell over, losing center in the air and looking head-on to the floor.

Milicic grabbed Gasol's shoulder at the right time, but Gasol still fell forward. Milicic pulled Gasol hard again, and Gasol's face was almost pressed to the ground when he was caught by Milicic.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Gasol suddenly let out a scream, and he fell to the ground with his right hand covering his left shoulder with a painful expression.

This time Gasol should be called for a rebounding foul, but seeing Gasol fell to the ground in pain, the referee could only suspend the game.

Li Zhi looked at Gasol on the ground, and remembered a match between the Cavaliers and the Celtics in his previous life. Olynyk locked Love and pulled Love until his shoulders were dislocated.Of course, Milicic and Olynyk have different starting points. Olynik is aiming at hurting people, while Milicic wants to save people. If Milicic hadn’t pulled him, Gasol’s face might have had an intimate contact with the floor, which would have been even worse.

The Lakers suddenly panicked, the medical staff helped Gasol down, and Phil Jackson sat in his seat and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gasol is the core of his triangle offense. Without Gasol, the Lakers' next game will be difficult.Even after passing the Warriors, it will not be easy to face the Nuggets or Rockets in the Western Conference Finals.

Looking at the bleak scene on the court, Barkley sighed: "The Warriors have an opportunity, but they are also very dangerous. Without Gasol, Kobe will definitely work hard."

Kenny Smith also sighed: "Judging from today's performance, the Warriors are like a piece of meat from a hob. With Gasol on the court, the Lakers are hard to eat. Now that Gasol is on, the Lakers' road to defending this year will be difficult again."

Without Gasol, the Lakers have only Kobe left. Last year when they met the Celtics in the finals, Gasol was injured in a key game, which also caused them to lose the championship.The Lakers did not make major reinforcements this season, but only introduced some role players. Once Gasol was injured, the Lakers could only put Odom on top of the fourth position, but the effect was not good.

Phil Jackson changed Odom to the fourth position. He has not performed much in this series. As a sixth man, he performed well this season, but when he encountered the Warriors' whirlwind tactics, Odom did not perform well.Against Milicic, Odom doesn't have any advantages. The two are at best equal. The Lakers Gasol has a broken arm and can only rely on Kobe.

Mayfair Jackson said to Kobe: "Kobe, the team needs you to stand up now. It's up to you to see where we can go in this series."

Because of Gasol's injury, the situation on both sides was reversed.The Lakers' role players are all high-paid and low-powered. They perform well on the defensive end, but they can't be counted on the offensive end.The Warriors players saw the hope of winning the series at once.

The Lakers had nothing to worry about Nelson. Nelson let Barnes and Jackson double-team Kobe Bryant. At the same time, he replaced O'Neal and adopted a zone defense to cut off Kobe's passing route.

Without the restraint of a general, Kobe played a difficult game, but at this time Jackson and Barnes continued to talk trash to Kobe, and Kobe, who entered the singles state, became angry.

Angry Kobe is scary, at this time he will only do two things, one is to make the enemy fearful of scoring consecutive goals, tying the score.The other is the continuous strike that scares teammates.The first is a test for the opponent's defense, and the second is a tragedy for the Lakers.

Kobe hit the iron crazily in the next 5 offenses, but he still chose to shoot for the 6th time, and he shot persistently.

Watching the basketball hit the iron again, Li Zhi sighed, maybe this is the reason for Kobe's greatness-hitting iron No.1.

Kobe's iron strike is not only because of his bad touch, but also because of the Warriors' defense.Barnes was pestering Kobe, Jackson was staring at him, blaming Kobe for a hundred crimes, and Li Zhi was always ready to defend.

Kobe couldn't pass the ball yet, because his teammates were as tough as him. Odom was 3 for 0, Ariza missed 2 three-pointers and became a tie. Fisher faced Gerald Green, who was faster and stronger than him, and had no chance to catch the ball.

Kobe can only cast firmly, and then firmly hit the iron.

In the sound of Kobe's endless hammering, the Lakers lost their way.At the end of the third quarter, 88:69, the Warriors led the Lakers by 19 points.

In the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson continued to play the main force and wanted to recover the score, but the Warriors didn't give them a chance.Kobe also failed to stage the return of the king at the critical moment. Kobe only recovered his touch in 4 minutes of the fourth quarter.

This is too much consumption, and Barnes and Jackson are lax on his defense.

Kobe felt late, and the Lakers finally lost the game 89:106. The Warriors won a victory at home after a fierce battle.
