The world's best combo guard

Chapter 95 92 [A Miracle Appears? 】

The Sacramento people are unwilling to lose to the Lakers at home. They still have a heart for the unfair treatment they encountered in the 2001~2002 Western Conference Finals.

Even though it's been almost two years, even though they're both in California.

Li Hao already felt this atmosphere during the player entrance ceremony before the start of the game.

Even though there were a lot of Chinese fans in the stands at a glance, Li Hao was instantly drowned out by boos and abuse just like his teammates.

Until the start of the second quarter, this situation continued, especially for Li Hao, who scored 11 points in the first quarter. As soon as he got the ball, boos came from everywhere, and he became the target of public criticism in an instant.

Fisher told Li Hao that it's no big deal. Everyone needs to go through this in the away game. To a certain extent, the away fans boo you and hate you, which just shows how strong you are.

However, in Li Hao's view, if these noisy voices can be completely shut up, it will undoubtedly be quieter.

As soon as the second quarter started, Li Hao took the ball and went directly to the basket. Facing Divac who had only changed Kobe, Li Hao chose to make a forced shot.

With excellent physical flexibility, Li Hao squeezed in from Divac's side and succeeded in throwing the shot. However, at the moment of the shot, he was pushed to the ground by Divac.

The referee Dibeile turned a blind eye to this, which angered the Lakers players, and everyone immediately surrounded Dibeile.

However, it was useless. Di Belle insisted that it was not Divac who pushed Li Hao, but that Li Hao lost his balance and fell down after finishing the layup.

Li Hao smashed the ball to the bottom line. He knew what the home whistle was, but it was too obvious.

Not only the whistleblowing just now, Li Hao rarely got free throws in the previous few games.

Li Hao hates this kind of star whistle that only you can enjoy when you become a real star. He is not a soft guy who likes to complain to the referee about fouls. He just feels sad for those role players.

Di Belle is very "professional". When Li Hao threw the ball out of bounds angrily, his whistle immediately pointed at Li Hao, a technical foul!
Li Hao chuckled, he had already guessed the result, but he didn't care about technical fouls.

The cheers at the Arco Arena reached their peak, and the home fans felt that Di Belle was really good tonight.

"Lee, keep calm and handle the referee's penalty correctly, which is also part of the game," Phil Jackson reminded.

Of course Li Hao is very calm, he just vented, and he will not lose his mind because of it.

The overall feeling of the players of the two teams was good tonight, so the score crossed up, and the point difference did not widen from the beginning to the end.

Until the last 20 seconds of the fourth quarter, 101:100!

At home, the Kings relied on Peja's CIC to take the lead again, and the pressure came to the Lakers.

Phil Jackson immediately requested a timeout.

"Lee, you stay with Mike Bibby, Devin, you are in charge of Peja...Kobe, Carl will attract at least two players from the opponent after the high catch, you have to be in this position at this moment, and then catch Carl of passes completed shots”

Not surprisingly, at the critical moment of the game, Phil Jackson's first point of trust is still Kobe.

Li Hao has no complaints. He can continue to stay on the court at the critical moment of the game, which is already a kind of great trust.

What's more, Kobe's touch tonight is not bad.

For the Kings, a 1-point lead is not something to be happy about. If they want to win this game, they must at least defend against the Lakers' attack.

Therefore, Adelman waved his hand and directly blocked the entire court. Li Hao took a lot of effort to receive Devin George's serve from the backcourt.

This is why Phil Jackson kept Li Hao on the court, because Li Hao's ball-handling skills are very good, which can at least increase the chances of the team smoothly dribbling the ball to the frontcourt.

After Li Hao pushed the ball into the frontcourt, he strictly implemented Phil Jackson's tactics, threw the ball to Karl Malone who moved to a high position, and then moved to the other side with Mike Bibby.

The Kings players were actually somewhat conflicted, because they couldn't guess who the Lakers would make the last shot. There was a high probability that it would be Kobe, but it could also be Karl Malone or even Li Hao.

Therefore, in this case where the defensive goal is not clear, players have very high requirements for positioning when defending, and the error tolerance rate is extremely low.

After receiving the pass from Li Hao, Karl Malone quickly attracted two players from the Kings to defend him. Fortunately, Karl Malone is tall enough and strong enough, otherwise he would not be too strong under this defensive intensity. Easy to continue holding the ball.

On the other side, Kobe seized the opportunity and quickly circled to the back of Malone.

At this moment, Karl Malone immediately lobbed the ball to Kobe.

A spot shot or a layup?

Kobe chose the latter.

The players of the Kings all reacted at this time, Divac and Peja immediately turned around and rushed to the basket.

"Driving layup from Kobe"

Kobe's waist ability is absolutely at the historical level. Facing the blockade of Divac and Peja one after the other, he actually found an opportunity in the gap to throw the basketball.

"bang"

It's a pity that this shot was a bit reluctant, and it hit the basket and failed to make a hit.

Kobe's shot missed, and in an instant all the players on both teams rushed to the basket because this rebound was crucial.

As the former All-Star Slam Dunk Contest champion, Kobe's jumping ability is beyond doubt, and his position is already good, so the basketball was successfully won by Kobe.

However, it is a bit unrealistic to want to shoot again.

Seeing that Kobe got the rebound and was at the free throw line, Li Hao quickly stepped forward to block Mike Bibby's position.

The situation at the basket became very chaotic for a while, and Kobe was at a loss for a while, no matter whether it was a layup or a pass, he had no chance.

This is not going to work, there is not much time left in the game, if you still can't make a shot, the game will be lost.

Li Hao thought so in his heart.

Fighting hard, Li Hao started quickly and aimed directly at the basket.

"Kobe"

The moment he reached the basket, Li Hao jumped up high and yelled at Kobe.

In a panic, Kobe only heard someone calling him, and he thought that the teammate who called him had a good position to hit the shot.

So I habitually threw the ball out.

However, the moment he threw the ball, he realized that it was Li Hao who called him, and it seemed that the position was even more awkward than him.

Kobe felt a little regretful, he subconsciously felt that the game was over.

Many Lakers fans who followed the game also felt that the game was over.

However, at this moment, a miracle appeared!
