Chapter 79 The ending will not be the same

When Li Hai received the ball, he sent Butler flying in front of him with a feint, patted the ball and adjusted slightly, and made a three-point shot before the attack time ran out.

When the attack time was about to end, he was very calm, and he didn't shoot at the defender because he was anxious. The sound of the basketball going into the net was easy to hear.

At 107:104, the Knicks took the lead again, and the Lakers immediately called a timeout.

With 10 seconds left in the clock, the Lakers may quickly make two points and then foul, or they may directly make three points.

At this time, the Knicks must be mainly defending the perimeter three-pointer. After returning to the court, Li Hai tried his best to stick to Kobe, trying to prevent the opponent from receiving the ball.

But any team has undergone countless trainings for receiving the ball at this time. Under the double cover of the Lakers, Kobe received the serve smoothly.

Li Hai stuck to it tightly, and started to delay beyond the three-point line.

As long as it can consume the Lakers' offensive time this time, it is worthwhile to be rushed in by Kobe.

Kobe made a change of direction, turned around and rushed inside, Li Hai took a step back when Kobe turned around, and completely followed the opponent's rhythm.

Because there were still two steps away from the three-point line, Li Hai dared to advance and retreat.

Kobe saw that he didn't rush over and immediately took a step back to change the rhythm. Butler planned to come over to cover, but was called back by Kobe. He suddenly rushed in front of Li Hai with a big stride, raised his hand and made a shooting motion.

This time he planned to make a foul, Li Hai reacted quickly, and he didn't stretch his arm forward, so he wasn't deceived.

The time has come to the end. After Kobe made a fake move, he pulled up and made a three-pointer with a backward posture.

Li Hai's arm has already been stretched out, such a difficult three-pointer, it is logical that he will not make it.

He turned his head, but the basketball just fell into the basket.

The calculator above the basket became zero, 107:107, the goal was valid, and the game entered overtime.

Li Hai gasped for breath, feeling a little unbelievable, this time, he has achieved the ultimate in defense, even this kind of ball can be scored.

Marbury came over and patted him, "Don't think about it, it's not a loss, we have to play next."

"Well, remember to give me the ball."

"What, you kid was beaten stupid, I shouldn't talk to you."

In overtime, the Lakers still didn't play Chris Mihm, Kurt Thomas made a jump ball, and the Knicks took the lead in attacking.

Li Hai ran extremely aggressively, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

He didn't guard Kobe's last shot, and he was relieved quickly. After all, the opponent was a top player in the league, but Kobe didn't come to defend him. Did he not pay enough attention to him? He would make Kobe regret it.

The idea of ​​saving face is so strong at this time.

Seeing that he kept reaching for the ball, Marbury still passed it.

Li Hai received the ball and bounced like a spring, completely ignoring Butler in front of him.

This is the state of excitement, you know you have a shot, and the Knicks took the lead in scoring two points in overtime.

Next, the Lakers' attack Kobe hit the iron. After hitting the sky-defying three-pointer, Kobe seemed to have a lot of touch in advance, and the ball almost didn't even touch the basket.

The Knicks attacked, Marbury passed the ball to Tim Thomas who ran out of the opportunity, and Tim Thomas missed a shot from the three-point line.

With the help of Kobe, he singled Li Hai again, but missed again.

Only this time Odom grabbed the offensive rebound and caused a foul by Tim Thomas.

Odom withstood the pressure and made two free throws, and the score was tied again.

With the two sides entering the iron-strike stage, the Knicks here Marbury missed a three-pointer, Kurt Thomas grabbed an offensive rebound and missed a tip-up, Li Hai missed a jumper, and the Lakers did the same. Chucky- Atkins missed an open three-pointer, and Butler missed a step-back shot.

Seeing that the score has not changed for a long time, Li Hai is also trying his best.

When Tim Thomas missed another shot, he sprinted in and took off the rebound, forcing Odom to foul him.

Li Hai made two free throws and broke the balance for a few minutes.

Kobe leaned against him again to ask for the ball, Chucky Atkins' pass was too obvious and was cut off by Marbury, Marbury went to the frontcourt for a one-stop layup, and the Knicks led by 4 points.

Kobe was very unwilling, and rushed in after dribbling the ball halfway. The Knicks immediately made a pincer attack. Kobe tried to force the shot but was cut off by Li Hai.

Without fouling, Li Hai grabbed the basketball and threw it out.

Marbury took the lead, got the ball and was about to make a layup, but was pulled down from behind by Chucky Atkins.

With two free throws, Marbury made all free throws, and the lead came to 6 points.

The Lakers were forced to call a timeout. After the timeout came up, Kobe played singles with the ball and had no intention of passing the ball at all.

When he changed direction and accelerated twice to enter the three-second zone, three Knicks players surrounded him.

Kobe started against Li Hai and forced his shot.

This time the referee's whistle sounded, and the basketball was thrown from Kobe's hands, spun around the basket, and went in.

2+1, Kobe made an additional free throw, and the score was only 3 points.

Li Hai hammered himself twice, he must guard against it, this time he must guard against it.

At this time, he didn't even have the idea of ​​attacking, he just wanted to defend Kobe.

The Knicks wasted time, and Marbury took the shot at the last moment, and the ball missed.

With just one play remaining, the ball was in Bryant's hands again.

Li Hai opened his hands and lowered his center of gravity to stand in front of Kobe, his attention was focused to the extreme.

At this time, other people on the field and the densely packed audience on the sidelines were all actively blocked by him.

From this round just now, he has nothing but Kobe in his eyes, and he just wants to defend against this attack.

Kobe's cross step did not break through Li Hai's defense, and the ball stopped.

He immediately overhanded the ball to Chucky Atkins, and immediately had a second attack on Li Hai's defense. Li Hai moved solidly without giving Kobe any chance.

There is still time, but Kobe is one step away from the three-point line and shoots without warning.

Even if Li Hai had expected it, he jumped up almost at the same time, and raised his arms as high as he could.

Still didn't touch the basketball, but this time it hit the rim and bounced out.

Bryant shot with so much power that the basketball bounced far enough that Crawford snatched the ball from the air into his arms and passed it to Marbury before the opposing player charged.

Marbury immediately dribbled towards the sideline, intending to use up the last few seconds.

The Knicks players chased desperately and fouled Marbury, and the time was almost exhausted. Then Marbury made two free throws, allowing the Knicks to establish the victory.
