Chapter 208
Black advanced halfway, and Kobe didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball this round.Therefore, Black has the urge to launch his own offense, but because of Leonard's reappearance, his defensive player was replaced by Yang Ke.

Under Yang Ke's close pressure, Black, who wanted to perform well for a while, was struggling.Seeing that the attack time was running out, Black, in desperation, took a big step back to make room, and threw the ball to Gasol with his arms high.

Resisting Bonner with his back, Gasol held the ball in front of him with both hands to prevent Bonner from suddenly interfering.With the ball in his hands, Gasol subconsciously looked towards Kobe.

As the second head of the team, Gasol doesn't know when he started, and he will habitually hand over the ball to Kobe at the last moment.

Unlike previous games, this time Kobe didn't make any unnecessary movements, just stood quietly outside the three-point line, supported his knees with his hands, and adjusted his breathing.

Kobe Bryant has played more than 30 minutes in this game, and he is also responsible for both offense and defense on the outside of the team.Although he is a well-known iron man in the league, under such circumstances, Kobe still felt exhausted physically and mentally.

Gasol was also very aware of this, and immediately withdrew his eyes.He raised his arms slightly, put the basketball in his sight, and began to use his back to test Bonner's defensive strength and prepare enough offensive equipment.

A few seconds later, relying on his solid footwork, Gasol successfully played Bonner in a low post single, and used a small hook to send the basketball into the net.

The score must be opened as soon as possible!

Seeing that the team had only two points left in the lead, Yang Ke frowned, feeling a sense of urgency in his heart.The time is only 2 minutes, and the unpredictable variables will become more and more unpredictable. He doesn't want to be killed like last time.

Thinking about a way to open up the point difference in an instant, Yang Ke walked to the basket, took the serve from his teammate, and controlled the ball to slowly advance to the frontcourt.

Three points?
Walking across the center line with the ball, looking at Kobe standing one step inside the three-point line, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.Like an opened Pandora's box, Yang Ke was deeply attracted.

As he continued to move forward, this idea gradually overwhelmed the reason and completely occupied the top.Yang Ke inadvertently thought: the team is still two points ahead of the Lakers, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to make a wild shot, and what if he makes a hit...

After a while, Yang Ke finally made a decision.

The already slow speed stopped completely about half a meter away from the three-point line.And in the midst of all the attention, Yang Ke didn't stop at all, he jumped up suddenly, and before anyone could react, he pushed the ball out.

Swish!
Countless people raised their heads, with incredible astonishment in their eyes.Accompanied by a beautiful arc, the basketball flying in the sky above the arena directly hits the net hollowly.

"What a mess!"

Hearing the enthusiastic cheers from the fans and audience, Popovich shook his head with a smile as he stood on the sidelines and watched Yang Ke who quickly retreated on the field.

Popovich is very relieved, no matter what the final result of this game is.He can see Yang Ke's progress and growth from this sniper three-pointer, which is what he is most eager to see at present.

Switching offense and defense, seeing the point difference being further widened, although Kobe was extremely tired, he knew it was time to stand up for himself.In the high post on the right, Kobe put his right arm against Leonard, and stretched out his left hand to signal Blake to pass the ball to him.

Seeing the action of the boss, Blake, as the younger brother, didn't even think about it.Taking a few steps back to open up space, Blake then bent over and threw the ball in Bryant's direction.

"Snapped!"

The basketball left the finger and flew towards Kobe along the established route.However, just as the basketball had just flown halfway, a white-skinned arm pierced through the air, and its fingers precisely stopped the basketball.

when?!

Looking at Ginobili who cut off his pass and then launched a counterattack with the ball.Black didn't have time to think about it any further. He immediately spread his feet and retreated towards the defensive half as fast as he could.

One after the other, Ginobili and Blake rushed into the three-point line of the Lakers half in a few seconds.There was only Black alone in the wide basket, and Ginobili originally planned to make a three-step layup and quickly complete the attack.

But in the high-speed running, Ginobili saw Yang Ke from the corner of his eye, and he was running towards the right bottom corner at a faster speed than himself.

Ah!This Yang!
With a chuckle, Ginobili gave up his previous plan after thinking for a while, and his speed also inadvertently slowed down.

A moment later, Ginobili stepped into the three-second zone in two big strides. After tricking Black into jumping through a shot fake, he waved his right arm holding the ball lightly.The basketball immediately flew towards the right side of the half court at a strange angle.

This ball is so comfortable!

Yang Ke just ran to the position when he saw the basketball flying in his field of vision. He was overjoyed, stretched his right hand slightly, and easily grasped the basketball firmly.

Glancing at the three-point line in front of the tip of his toes, Yang Ke still chose to shoot as soon as he touched the ball, even though there was no one else within two meters.Without making any adjustments, he has developed the habit of quick three-pointers since he deliberately added three-pointers.

"Three points are valid!"

"Another wonderful three-pointer, Yang~~!"

In the white waves of the Nets, the roaring and passionate voice of the live DJ brought the atmosphere of the audience to the climax. All the fans and spectators began to wave all kinds of aids in their hands.

At 1 minute and 30 seconds, the Spurs led by 8 points. It can be said that as long as the Spurs do not make mistakes, the victory is very secure.But even so, Kobe still did not give up.

Driven by his tenacious and firm will, Kobe dragged his extremely sore knees and tried his best to push Leonard away with the last bit of strength in his body.Completed the picturesque fadeaway jumper, and also allowed his score to pass 35.

"Give up, you can't turn the tables!"

Running to the frontcourt with the ball, Yang Ke stopped outside the three-point line.Looking at Kobe, who was waiting solemnly with his arms outstretched, glanced at the sweat running down his face, without saying a word.

"..."

Kobe didn't speak, but panted heavily, staring at Yang Ke with bloodshot eyes.

After a moment of silence, with his feet slightly bent, Yang Ke jumped up gently on the spot.And Kobe reacted accordingly in an instant, rushed over, and pointed his right hand at the basketball held by Yang Ke with both hands.

Surprisingly, however, Yang Ke didn't choose to make a quick shot this time. In fact, he didn't intend to shoot another three-pointer.

Yang Ke, whose body was on the rise, abandoned the gesture of lifting the basketball in the air, and leaned his wrist on the palm of Kobe's right hand just like that.

Snapped!
beep!

With a crisp sound, Yang Ke endured the pain in his wrist that stimulated the nervous system, and pushed the ball casually.Due to the serious interference, basketball unexpectedly came to a non-stick situation.

And Yang Ke was very satisfied with this result. In fact, his purpose from the beginning was this, to make Kobe get fouled.

Not for those three free throws, with one minute remaining and the Lakers trailing the Spurs by 1 points.There is no suspense about the outcome, after all, God is not on the Lakers' side today.

But Yang Ke is very clear that Kobe has not given up, so out of respect for him, he cares about his health.Yang Ke took the initiative to seek fouls, in order to give the Lakers a chance to replace Kobe.
