king of the basket

Chapter 185 The Final Battle of the 2008-09 Season! [7000 word chapter, too lazy to tear it apart]

Coach D'Antoni's tactical deployment is very effective,

With the two big men Cam and Jerome James on the inside, Dookie did not fully use his golden fingers, and distributed the ball to the inside as much as possible when holding the ball.

In the first minute of the third quarter,
With the assist of Jerome, Cam scored another goal and let out a low growl.

here,

Due to the activeness of the Knicks inside, the score difference between the two sides has been reduced to 2 points!
"The Knicks are catching up!"

"It's really hard to say who will have the last laugh..."

pause!

at this time,

The head coach of the Lakers called a timeout.

……

"I don't want to be overtaken by the Knicks when I enter the last quarter!"

The Zen master was a little angry,

Can you be angry?

The Lakers lineup this year is one of the best in the league... If it is said that they are facing a strong team like the Magic or the Cavaliers, his master Zen will not be so angry,

But this is a team with an average lineup like the Knicks!
Average lineup?
At this time, the Zen master couldn't help but put a question mark...

"In addition to the super rookie No. [-], the Knicks now have their inside line... D'Antoni is an old fox, he is gambling..."

Speaking of which,

The Zen Master's eyes were a little sharp, and he looked at the young center Andrew Bynum: "Andrew, your talent is not inferior to any of the opponent's centers.
Find a way to make them foul..."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the assistant and asked:

"How many times has the opponent's No. 2 center fouled?"

"Four times."

"very good!"

A smile finally appeared on Zen Master's gloomy face, and he once again set his sights on Andrew Bynum:

"Let the horse go, lure the No. 2 center to foul, and send him off!"

"We're going to knock down the Knicks insider, and then knock down that Asian No. [-]..."

He just said this,
Andrew Bynum reminded him aloud:
"But coach, I also fouled four times."

"..."

Zen master's expression froze, and the smile on his face froze.

Flesh trembled twice, very heartbroken:
"Then you have to be careful...

Gasol, how many times have you fouled? "

……

Pause back.

Players from both sides played, the Knicks replaced Jamal Crawford, let him rest until the fourth quarter, and replaced Quentin Richardson.

In the last 40 seconds of the third quarter,
Kobe's unadjusted shot from outside the three-point line,
boom!
Smash the iron!

Andrew Bynum grabs the rebound, confronts Kam in the reasonable rush zone, and tries to shoot.But Kam guarded against death, Bynum didn't find a chance, and held the ball for too long, so he had to give the ball to Pau Gasol.

Gasol gets the ball,

Stared by Jerome,

Bynum moved up and shook off Cam.

Pau Gasol has quick eyes and quick hands. When he saw Bynum running, he pretended to shoot and tricked Jerome into taking off. At the same time, he turned the ball back into Bynum's hands.

"Good news!"

Andrew Bynum was full of passion, couldn't help but let out a low drink, with complacency in the corner of his eyes, he looked at the open space and jumped up to shoot.

Come on Cam,

Go straight up and deliberately foul the thug.

Snapped!
"Di-"

The referee blew his whistle and called Cam a foul and Bynum made two free throws.

"Cam five committed!"

……

Bynum made one of two free throws.Second penalty hit.

"Nice job! Andrew!"

The Zen master shouted from the side.

He has already realized the threat of the Knicks inside, and it is God's help to make the No. 2 center foul at this time!

After free throw,

Coach D'Antoni replaced Cam to protect him.

"I'm sorry coach, I'm a little impatient..." Cam repented for his foul.

"In that case, I think I would have deliberately fouled to prevent it."

D'Antoni's face was heavy, but he still analyzed it to Cam with rational eyes, "At least, your foul is valuable, and it turned what should have scored two points into a free throw and scored one point."

"..."

……

"The Knicks have so few players!"

"Yes."

"The stamina is very insufficient!"

"The No. 2 center can compete with Bynum of the Lakers, but now he has committed five fouls. The Knicks' inside line has just improved, and then there is a crisis again!"

"The Knicks want to win the championship. It is really a hard battle to win the Lakers. It is really not easy."

"..."

The fans are worried, and Du Qi on the court is also worried.

Fortunately, the score difference is not much now.

Now the Knicks own the ball,
Dookie dribbles across half court,
Kobe and Fisher immediately came forward to double-team.

"The Lakers are going to block the last 30 seconds to prevent the Knicks from scoring again!"

Du Qi's eyes were cold.

It is clear,
The Lakers are going to seal themselves off.

Swish!
The ball is exported decisively and given to Quentin who is open,

After Quentin received the ball, he hesitated for a moment, and just like that, Fisher pounced on him.

"here!"

Just when Quentin didn't know what to do with the ball for a moment, he suddenly heard Du Qi's voice on his right.

"Du—"

Quentin almost handed the ball to Du Qi, and helped Du Qi pick and roll, blocking Fisher.

Du Qi retreated decisively,
feel online,

Of course he chose to shoot a three-pointer,

At this time,

Kobe rushed over like a real poisonous snake, and when Du Qi retreated to the three-point line, he was already close.

Duke jumped up,
Kobe jumped up too.

"This Kobe..."

When Du Qi jumped to the highest point and could only choose to shoot, Kobe also jumped to the highest point. This surprised Du Qi and was surprised by Peter Pan Kobe's personal ability!
Dookie felt Kobe's fingertips touch the basketball,

When he fell to the ground, he shouted anxiously:
"Jerome, grab the rebound!"

……

Jerome responded,
boom!
Sure enough, Du Qi's ball hit the iron,
Jerome tried his best to grab the ball, but eventually lost to Andrew Bynum.

Bryant ran up and asked Bynum for the ball.

"Kobe—"

Andrew Bynum throws a long pass to a running Kobe.

"hateful!"

Du Qi cursed, at this time Du Qi was already a little jealous.

The situation is not good for the Knicks,
"I don't admit defeat!"

Du Qi quickly chased after him, "I will never admit defeat!"

Outside the three-point line of the Lakers' frontcourt, Duke caught up with Kobe.Kobe made an emergency stop, and Dookie followed suit.

Kobe jumped up and shot without adjustment, and leaned back!

Standard Kobe Bryant fadeaway.

"Cock!"

Although Du Qi can keep up with the rhythm every step of the way, Du Qi has no solution to this backward fall.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

Kobe hit this three-pointer!

call! ~~~
Frying pots in the audience, enter the climax!
"OMG~ Kobe is so amazing!"

"Kobe throws the ball like a picture!"

"The score has opened up again!"

"This three-pointer is very important!"

"The Knicks can't take it anymore!"

……

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks lost the Lakers by 5 points!
sidelines.

Knicks here,
As the fans said, the atmosphere of the entire team was extremely depressed.

Especially the leading star Du Qi sat there without saying a word, with a white towel covering his head and red eyes.

"Lingbo Weibu's remaining time in this field: 6 minutes and 30 seconds!
Number of Burst Bounces: 1.

Body airborne ability: 1 time. "

This is all his remaining cards!

If the opponent is a slightly inferior team, or there is a teammate with outstanding ability among his players,

He Du Qi has great confidence to win!
But now!
The Knicks are facing a major crisis!

Heitan, the only brother who can handle the inside line, has committed five crimes. Based on his understanding of Cam, this guy will probably be timid and his level will drop.

As for the use time of the gold finger,

Black Mamba Bryant was staring at him closely, and the six and a half minutes of golden finger time had to be shortened a lot!
There is also the question of the use time of the golden finger,

Now the morale of the Knicks is low. If they don't tie the score in the fourth quarter, they will be defeated by the Lakers.

But if used in advance,

How to deal with the last critical moment?

difficult!
too difficult!
D'Antoni also saw that Du Qi had no confidence in winning this last game.

He was depressed.

But did not give up hope.

Seriously deployed the tactics for the last quarter, and said: "Cam, you continue to play in the fourth quarter..."

just said here,
Du Qi interrupted:

"Coach, let Cam play in the last 3 minutes... He has committed five crimes, so he will inevitably be timid."

"..."

Cam's eyes widened.
"Du, don't look down on people!"

"Am I wrong?" Du Qi asked back.

"..."

Cam choked, what Du Qi said was right, he was still thinking about how to avoid the sixth foul.

His heart is chaotic!

Finally, with his head held high, he still refused to accept:

"Even so, the Knicks have no one available, I play... I play better than..."

Cam wanted to say that he was better than others when he played.

But then D'Antoni decided:
"Just listen to Du Qi, Cam will not play first."

"..."

After arranging the players for the fourth quarter, D'Antoni looked at Du Qi and wanted Du Qi to say some words of encouragement to everyone.

After all, Du Qi is already the soul player of the team.

"Let's go, everyone, it's just a gamble."

I don't know,

Du Qi said such words.

Take a gamble?
We are all adults, do you want to play like this?
Can you rely on a score? ?

But D'Antoni can't help it. At this time,
Seems like it's just a gamble?

……

The fourth quarter begins.

Du Qi made a decisive decision.

In the case of failing inside, he decided to use his golden finger at the end to minimize the possibility of losing.

In the 3th minute of the fourth quarter,
Due to Kobe's activity,
And Pau Gasol's inside dominance,

The Lakers have won the Knicks by 14 points!

"Kobe's ability is really good!"

"The German coach should call a timeout!"

"But he didn't bark!"

"Did you give up?"

"And the Knicks Yadu has not been active for a long time, the Knicks are becoming more and more useless..."

There are still 9 minutes in the game, and the score has already opened up by 14 points!
"Coach, I beg you to call a timeout and put me on!"

Cam couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and walked to D'Antoni and begged.

"..."

D'Antoni was taken aback, but did not agree.

"The low morale of the Knicks can't be any lower now. It can be said that they were defeated by the Lakers..."

Cam didn't give up,

"Jerome is very tired inside, and only Du is struggling to support it... Please let me play, let me play and beat the Lakers center and forward inside!"

"..."

D'Antoni finally knew why Du Qi always looked at Cam with a look of a second-hand look. This guy is indeed a little naive,

family.

"However, I like your attitude of not admitting defeat."

D'Antoni called a timeout.

"pause!"

……

Back to the sidelines.

Du Qi asked D'Antoni: "Does the coach have good tactical deployment?"

Players often play in it and cannot see the situation clearly. The coach is at the helm.

"No." D'Antoni answered honestly.

"..."

Duke was speechless.

"But I've decided to put Cam in to help you guys."

"..."

Du Qi was even more speechless.

"I think so,"

D'Antoni seems to be the roundworm in Ducci's stomach, "Since it's a gamble, why don't we bet that Cam will perform well?"

"The coach is wise!"

Cam didn't forget to kiss his ass!
Duke said nothing more.

"Okay, Cam, you go on, Quentin, you come down and rest."

D'Antoni decided, and finally said to Cam:
"Cam, I hope you won't let everyone down."

……

Cam came on.

"Du, try to pass the ball!"

Cam came to Du Qi with burning eyes and said to Du Qi.

"This charcoal..."

Du Qi squinted his eyes, this guy seemed to have a lot of fighting spirit.

"I know I didn't behave well before, but Du, please rest assured, in this last moment, I will do my best!

It's like we're playing the NCAA side by side,

I will not give up the game I have worked so hard to get here! "

"Fighting will alone is not enough..."

Du Qi was a little happy in his heart, but he was attacking Cam in his mouth, "Brother Heitan, it mainly depends on your performance."

"Hmph, just wait and see!"

……

The game continues.

Du Qi still didn't activate the golden finger. He wanted to wait until the last 7 minutes to fully activate it and launch the last wave of massacre.

To put it bluntly, it is the last bet!
At this time,

Bryant got the ball again, and Duke defended as best he could.

Another jump shot by Kobe,

boom!
Smash the iron!

Kobe didn't hit the ball.

The fans are a little pity:
"It's the fourth quarter, Kobe also gets tired sometimes..."

"Yes."

"Kobe's shooting percentage has been declining."

Kobe's physical strength and shooting percentage declined, which is one of the reasons why Dookie bet on the end.

You Kobe will decline physically, but this will not happen to me!

Du Qi thought that Gasol would snatch this rebound, but suddenly a black shadow rushed up and took the rebound off Gasol's head!
"It's Cam!"

Du Qi's eyes lit up,
Next second,
I saw Cam yelling at himself:
"Du, why are you in a daze, run quickly!"

"This charcoal..."

Du Qi came back to his senses and started running. At the same time, Cam passed the ball.

Dookie gets the ball,
Boom!

It is to speed up the dribbling rhythm and attack the frontcourt quickly.

This is already a habit.

Kobe, who was in charge of defending Du Qi, was physically unable to keep up, and he was left behind by Du Qi.

Soon Du Qi hit the basket, jumped up and dunked.

Bang!
"Two points recovered!"

"Knicks keep going!"

……

"Du, did you see that?"

Cam ran over and gave Du Qi a high-five to celebrate, and at the same time said smugly, "I, Cam, will not hold you back, but you, Du, what about your talent?

Really tied up,
is that you? "

"..."

Du Qi was taken aback by Cam's words.

He didn't expect to be despised by this black charcoal!
But at the same time,
Du Qi was happy in his heart,

Cam's state really exceeded my expectations...

"Cam is not timid, on the contrary, he has more fighting spirit...

In that case—"

Just when Du Qi decided to fight back,
Kobe passed by him,

Seeing Du Qi's stern eyes, it is a firm look that refuses to admit defeat and wants to fight back...

Kobe couldn't help but startled.

"Maybe this guy..."

Inexplicably, Kobe felt a little uneasy in his heart.

……

Next is the Lakers' possession of the ball.

Fisher dribbled the ball across half court,

Du Qi immediately moved,

Kobe quickly followed.

Without Du Qi holding the ball, Kobe, who had already declined in physical fitness, could not catch up. He even reminded Fisher:

"Be careful with this kid—"

As soon as Fisher reacted, he saw Du Qi running over to steal the ball, so he made a movement to collect the ball, but in this instant, he only felt that his hands were empty.

Where's the ball?

where is the ball
Fisher was dumbfounded.

Looking up, the ball ran to Duke.

and,

Boom!

After Du Qi steals, he has launched a fast break non-stop.

Call ~
this time,

The fans of the Knicks, no, the fans of Du Qi shouted:

"Steal Wang Du!"

"The king of steals!"

Amidst the shouts, Du Qi quickly crossed halftime, and then made an emergency stop at the top of the arc of the three-point line.

Aiming at the basket is a shot.

"what?!"

The Lakers players, including Kobe, were taken aback. Only then did they realize that this Asian kid is a super rookie with the ability to stop and shoot three-pointers from outside the three-point line!
just see,
The three-point shot by Du Qi drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and then it went into the net with a swish sound!

"Resurrected!"

"I'm resurrected!"

"Great!"

"I see hope!"

Du Qi fans who had been silent all the time yelled.

Lakers side,

Start to pay attention to Du Qi.

Whenever Du Qi dribbled the half court, Fisher and Kobe immediately came forward to defend.

Instead, he controlled Du Qi's shot.

But Dookie didn't plan to break through the offense, but avoided spending golden finger time on Kobe, and guided the ball flexibly to Zach Randolph or Cam.

The insiders began to score frequently.

In the 9th minute of the fourth quarter.

"Great!"

"The Knicks are only three points behind!"

"pause!"

The Zen master called a timeout.

"Bynum, Gasol, what are you doing stupid? The opponent's No. 2 center has already fouled five times, and you should send him off the court as soon as possible!"

"understand!"

……

In the 10th minute of the fourth quarter.

Andrew Bynum baited Cam for a foul.

Cam made six fouls.

"Du, I tried my best!"

"You did a great job!"

Hearing Du Qi's praise, Brother Heitan left the field contentedly.

"Everyone, there are still 3 points left in the score, and there are 2 minutes left in the game. We have a great chance to win this game!"

Du Qi encouraged everyone to speak at this time.

D'Antoni nodded in relief, and cheered everyone up:
"Y'all work hard, the Lakers have Kobe Bryant, we have Doo!
We worked so hard to get here, not as a foil! "

"come on!"

"To win!"

"We must win!"

……

In the last 2 minutes, the morale of both sides was very high!

"Kobe, we are the overlord in the inside now! You let go of the shot!"

Pau Gasol on Kobe Bryant.

"it is good."

No. 11 minutes and 18 seconds of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant shot from the right corner, Dookie fired with full firepower, and defended dead.

Even if Kobe Bryant used a stunt back jumper,

Du Qi also jumped up immediately under the blessing of Goldfinger,

Kobe's physical strength is declining after all,
This shot is a bit low,
It was intercepted by Du Qi in the air.

"Stolen!"

"The opportunity is here!"

"Initiate a fast break, Du!"

Du Qi steals Kobe in the air, igniting the passion of the fans at the scene...

Du Qi speeds up the dribbling rhythm,

"hateful!"

Kobe's eyes are like snakes,

Quickly followed up.

Boom!

Du Qi dribbled the ball halfway, and decisively stopped outside the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer.Seeing Kobe rushing over from the side, Du Qi decisively approached Kobe, intending to touch porcelain.

"This bastard..."

Kobe took a fall and learned a lot of wisdom, and even took the momentum,

Du Qi threw the ball out, but failed to touch porcelain.

boom!
This three-pointer hit the iron,
Dookie fired with full firepower, rushed to the basket quickly, grabbed the ball in front of Andrew Bynum and dunked the ball into the basket!
"Two points!"

"There is still a point difference!"

"It's a pity... Du missed the three-pointer, or else it was a tie!"

Du Qi is also a pity.

His bet at that moment was,

Touching Kobe Bryant, he got three shots.

Compared to three-pointers,

With three shots, Du Qi is more sure.

……

"There are still the last 33 seconds, and my gold finger time has run out."

"The only thing left is to bounce once and stay in the air once..."

Looking at the condition of his golden finger, Du Qi couldn't help frowning.

Because although there are explosive bounces and body stagnation in the air,
but,

These two hole cards can only play their value when they grab the ball!

And Lingbo Weibu's time has run out,

This grabs the ball...

What do you rely on?

rebound?

The inside line is broken.

Although Zach Randolph has fighting spirit, it's just fighting spirit. The Lakers have Paul Gasol and Bynum inside, and they almost dominate the rebounds!
The key is,

This is finally the Lakers' offensive possession!
At this time.

Fisher of the Lakers has the ball and ran forward.

Du Qi felt uneasy,

But there is no way,
Du Qi is very unwilling!
Just a little bit!

In the last 26 seconds,
Fisher passed the ball to Kobe to deal with it, Dookie ran over with a messy mind and lowered his focus to defend,

A sly smile appeared in the corner of Kobe's eyes,

He started water skiing,
It's time to spend the last attack.

"hateful!"

Everyone can see that in this situation where the Lakers lead by 1 point, the Lakers only need to consume time, run out of time, and finally make a shot. This is very beneficial for the Lakers to win!

Du Qi became more and more anxious,
The body subconsciously rushed towards Kobe,

Kobe was afraid of Duke's stealing the ball, so he quickly dodged to the side.

At the same time, I was looking for an opportunity to make a move.

Dookie pounced,
Without the blessing of golden fingers, it was all for naught.

Kobe saw that this was an opportunity, and as soon as his eyes lit up, he had to adjust the ball and make a shot.

Duke's eyes widened.

Not only Du Qi, but other Knicks players were also taken aback.

Seeing that Kobe was about to make a move.

at this time,

Huh!
Almost in a blink of an eye,

Du Qi's figure rushed forward extremely quickly again, and Kobe's ball was quickly blocked by Du Qi.

"what?!"

just see,
After Duke capped Kobe, he dodged past Kobe in a very strange way, and grabbed the ball behind Kobe.

huh~~~
All the fans exclaimed!

Knicks fans stood up directly from their seats:
"This is it!"

"The king of steals!"

Du Qi grabbed the ball and quickly rushed to the Knicks' frontcourt.His eyes were firm, because in his mind, a message was sent just now:

"Lingbo Weibu upgrade! LV14 (0), the use time of this field is increased by 1 minute!"

This is also the reason why Du Qi suddenly "resurrected" in despair!

"Get back on defense!"

"Stop him!"

"quick!"

This sudden change shocked the entire Lakers team!

The Zen master even jumped up from the bench and yelled at Kobe, Bynum, Gasol and others.

Kobe chased after him decisively.
Very hard!
Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum worked harder, striding their long legs and chasing Dookie fiercely.

At the Knicks' frontcourt three-point line,

Kobe catches up,
Dookie changed his footwork and dribbled through his crotch to break through Kobe.

The young center Bynum followed and followed Du Qi closely.

At this time,

Du Qi ran up and was about to make a three-step layup.

With murderous intent in his eyes, Bynum ran along. He was ready for a malicious foul and also prevented Duke from scoring.

Duke jumped up.

Bynum also jumped up, and at the same time hit Duke hard on the wrist with his right hand.

Snapped!
The sound is crisp and loud!

The ball held by Du Qi was knocked down, and Bynum couldn't help being overjoyed. Anyway, it was the last second, and the stop was successful!
"Our Lakers are going to win!"

however,
This idea has just arisen, the next second,
just see,
Du Qi's body lingered in the air for a while, just like that, Du Qi quickly caught the falling basketball, and then slammed it into the basket!

Bang!
"Di-"

"A goal counts as a goal, and a penalty is added!"

Hearing the referee's penalty, Knicks fans jumped up and cheered:

"OMG, my God!"

"Du is a great basketball player!"

"Won!"

While the audience was boiling, Du Qi made a free throw and made a hit. In this way, at the last second, Du Qi dunked a goal and scored another free throw. He scored 3 points and overtook the Lakers by 2 points!
118 is better than 116!

The Knicks finally won the game and won the 2008-09 season championship!
Duke wins the championship!
