Chapter 98 Viper, Kobe

The Lakers attacked, and there were only 2 minutes left before halftime. Kobe looked at the timetable and asked Bynum to get the ball.

Slowly holding the ball and pushing it to the frontcourt, Kobe's eyes are getting colder and colder, but anyone who is behind by ten points will be unhappy, let alone last season's champion.

"That, Xia Tian" Harden glanced at Xia Tian slowly.

"What's wrong?" Xia Tian asked puzzled.

"Do you want to switch defenses? Why do I feel a little weak." Harden said weakly.

"Switch?"

"Yes, why not?"

"I can go to you." Xia Tian pushed Harden to the defensive position at the top of the arc.

You want me to defend such a cold Kobe, how is it possible!Can Kobe be able to defend in this state?Really.

Xia Tian took a sad look at Harden, then ran to Artest's body, and began to defend with all his heart.

But it didn't take long for Artest to be summoned by Kobe for a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Xia Tian stood in front of Kobe without tears. Why did he let me defend again!Coach, I want to rest!
However, this mentality only appeared for a while and then disappeared. After taking a deep breath, he began to lower his center of gravity, ready to defend Kobe's breakthrough at any time.

Kobe looked at Xia Tian and didn't speak. A pair of cold pupils made Xia Tian feel uncomfortable all over, as if being spied on. Facing Kobe's dribble, Xia Tian couldn't bear it anymore. He turned slightly sideways and stretched out his right hand. , trying to interfere with Kobe's dribble.

But at the moment when Xia Tian stretched out his hand, Kobe moved. Facing Xia Tian, ​​Kobe didn't break through, but took advantage of Xia Tian's lower body and couldn't bounce up quickly, and directly staged a dry jumper.

Elegant posture, handsome shooting, the basketball seems to be enhanced by Kobe's posture, drawing a wonderful arc in the air and then hollowing into the net.

64:57
Xia Tian gritted his teeth remorsefully, just now Kobe's eyes were too oppressive, which also made Xia Tian couldn't help reaching out to interfere.

But facing other players is fine, but facing Kobe, this trick seems to have no effect at all!
The Rockets served, and Lowry once again staged a good singles show. It may be that the [-]v[-] just now gave him confidence, but Lowry's singles did not succeed this time.

When he reached the free throw line, Lowry was intercepted by the seasoned Kobe. After a fast break, Kobe carried Yao Ming and made another layup, which caused Yao Ming's foul.

2 + 1
Kobe calmly made an extra penalty shot, then stole Harden in the frontcourt, dribbled the basketball and entered the inside to challenge Yao Ming again. Under Kobe's terrifying ability to stay in the air, he scored again with a pull bar.

64:62
In just 1 minute, Kobe scored 8 points one after another. Adelman frowned off the court, and couldn't help calling a timeout at the end, fearing that the Lakers would get angry because of Kobe's three goals. Potential.

The timeout ended, Harden and Yao Ming went off the court again, Hayes and Scola's inside cooperation was used by Adelman, and Hayes, who returned to the C position, was also comfortable for a while, and helped the Rockets hit a hit on the court cast.

66:62
With 53 seconds left, the Lakers continued to attack, and Kobe was the main one. Xia Tian also took the initiative to switch defenses with Dragic this time, preparing to defend Kobe himself. After all, Dragic's defense was to deliver food to Kobe.

Standing at the top of the arc, Xia Tian didn't dare to take Kobe's ball this time. It's better to be conservative in defense at this time, as taking out the ball is really too risky.

Kobe quickly came to the front court with the ball, and then looked at the time, 49 seconds, time can be pressed.

Carrying the basketball, Kobe slowly retreated to the midfield. Xia Tian also stuck it up, but he still didn't dare to stick it too tightly. After all, Xia Tian who has Kobe's physique is the one who knows Kobe's breakthrough best.

The kind of breakthrough that can crush opponents without technology, only with the body, this is Xia Tian's evaluation of Kobe's breakthrough.

10 seconds, 9 seconds. 6 seconds

Kobe started to move, and he dribbled the ball under the crotch on the spot, followed by a change of direction, and broke through directly to the right.

Sure enough, go the right way!Xia Tian thought secretly in his heart, and his body could not help but move slightly to the left, but after Xia Tian had prepared all the strategies to defend Kobe from going to the right, Kobe suddenly had a bad luck and broke through to the left.

"Not good! Make up defense!" Xia Tian roared while chasing Kobe.

After hearing Xia Tian's roar, Dragic was the first to defend, but facing Dragic's defense, Kobe said that breaking through was so easy.

A slight change to Kobe opened the distance between Dragic and Dragic. Looking at Kobe's figure, Dragic couldn't help smacking his lips, so fast!
Kobe was not ready to break through after shaking off Dragic, because the insider Hassan had already returned to the basket. If he tried to force him, he might be blocked, so Kobe directly pulled out after changing direction.

66:64
Kobe's shot was still accurate, the score was indented again, and the time was only 34 seconds left.

Lowry slowly came to the frontcourt with the ball, and then handed the ball to Xia Tian, ​​while he ran to the bottom corner and waited.

Is Artest defending?Let’s make a breakthrough later. After all, Artest’s playing time is not short, and he should not be able to stop himself when he breaks through later. Kobe will be on the left, so I will break through at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Xia Tian glanced at the situation on the field and quickly made a decision in his heart, then looked at the attack time, there were still 18 seconds left, let's start with the last 7 seconds.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Tian began to play the crotch dribble rhythmically. While dribbling the ball under the crotch, Xia Tian was also observing the time. Finally, Xia Tian moved when the time was still seven seconds away.

A change of direction in the crotch directly passed Artest, and Artest's movements were just as Xia Tian thought, exhausted a bit due to playing for a long time, and the defensive reaction was a beat slower than before.

After crossing Artest, only Xia Tian didn't stop accelerating, but the speed was even faster than before.

"Support him! Hurry up!" Kobe yelled anxiously, but it was impossible for him to defend himself. After all, Dragic's three-pointer was very accurate, and Xia Tian was a little far away from him.

After entering the three-point line, Fisher rushed up directly. After Xia Tian saw this, La Baifu wanted to point Fisher up, but Fisher was so hot that he didn't eat at all.

There was no way, Xia Tian saw that Fisher hadn't been picked up, so he had to make a fake show, because Artest had already rushed over from behind, and there were only 4 seconds left in the time.

Vote!

Xia Tian glanced at the basket, took another crotch step backwards, and then jumped high, a pair of scissor legs was extremely coquettish at this moment.

"Shh."

The basketball goes into the net, it's a three-pointer!Xia Tian couldn't help clenching his fists happily. In fact, even Xia Tian didn't expect to score this ball, because although the shot just now was open, the posture was too awkward.

The scissor legs of the retreat step, Xia Tian said that this is a bit difficult.

But it didn't make Xia Tian happy for a long time. Kobe actually hit a mid-range shot at the buzzer at the last moment.

69:66
Although the score is still leading, but Xia Tian is really not happy, because Kobe's mid-range shot at the buzzer just now was shot on his face!
Originally thought that Kobe was going to break through, but in the end he changed to a backward pull-up. This kind of change-of-direction pull-up may be the best among the top four. No, maybe Kobe and Tracy McGrady did the best.

The change of direction of these two people is really too deceptive. No matter how you look at it, it feels like a breakthrough, but in the end they will give you a cold shot. No wonder they can stand at the top of the alliance. Makes sense.
