Sweep the promotion (2)(1/2)
452.
Fate of Destiny (End)
The Pistons attacked, Andre Iguodala missed a mid-range jump shot, and Paul Gasol grabbed a defensive rebound.
Steve Blake broke through with the ball, and as he threw Zhou Yi away half of his position, Steve Blake was extremely proud and successfully broke through Zhou Yi's defense line. Then he finally had his own time to perform.
He naturally did not notice that at the moment he started, Zhou Yi's right foot had already slowly lifted off the ground, and when he used his body to open a passage for himself to break through, Zhou Yi's upper body had obvious backward movements, moving sideways, with his left toe as the axis, and he made a big turn in place 180 degrees.
When Steve Blake was immersed in the joy of breaking through, Zhou Yi had already moved to his right side, and his ghostly right hand attacked like lightning, so he would not miss the opponent's carelessness.
When Steve Blake reacted, the Pistons had already completed a beautiful fast break.
The Zen master couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the game on the court.
Kobe played Yodi Meeks single, and used Steve Blake's cover to retreat from the three-point line and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.
On the Pistons' side, Zhou Yi made a wonderful pass by Yodi Meeks and made a high jump shot.
Andrew Bynum missed a layup, Paul Gasol took the offensive rebound and then scored a tip-in.
Samuel Durham Porter singled Andrew Bynum on his back, assisting Greg Monroe to score a back-shot.
Compassionate World Peace missed a three-pointer, Kobe grabbed the offensive rebound, then retreated to the three-point line and made a strong three-pointer. The ball actually made an incredible breakthrough.
Slowly, the third quarter gradually returned to the first half.
Kobe's shooting percentage has improved slightly in this quarter. He was crazy and scored 19 points in a single quarter. However, in the face of the Pistons' balanced attack, his personal efforts seemed too thin.
The only other players of the Lakers are Paul Gasol who performs more normally. You can tell the others by looking at Phil Jackson's face.
87:74 is the score of both sides at the end of the third quarter, and the Pistons are still leading the Lakers by 13 points.
At this time, Kobe's score had already risen to more than 30 points.
The atmosphere in Staples Stadium has been completely ignited, and all the fans are looking forward to another scoring miracle. However, the cold data is too shallow, making enthusiastic fans ignore many things that should not be ignored. Thirty-three moves account for half of the Lakers' mobile phone opportunities.
The fourth quarter game began soon!
At present, both sides are basically playing in the bench.
Paul Gasol attacked the Pistons' basket and squeezed out Taylor Hansblu for a layup.
On the Pistons, Will Bynum assisted Ben Gordon to make a mid-range jump shot.
Steve Blake made a wonderful pass by Joe Smith for a layup, but unfortunately missed. Matt Barnes grabbed the offensive rebound, but did not make a counter-skirts. Taylor Hansblu grabbed the defensive rebound.
On the Pistons, Will Bynum didn't make a move outside the three-point line, and Samuel Durham Porter made a tip-in.
The two sides attacked each other, but the score difference was still above double digits, which made the Lakers and the home fans very nervous.
With 7 minutes and 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the game entered the official timeout.
After the suspension was over, both sides sent their main lineups one after another.
Derek Fisher made a mistake as soon as he came on the court. When the ball was sent to his hands, it seemed that the pace was half a beat slower, but he subconsciously caught the ball. Zhou Yi would not miss this opportunity.
At this time, the Lakers players were quickly heading towards the Pistons' half. There was no Lakers player in the Lakers' half. Zhou Yi naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.
Zhou Yi rushed into the Lakers' inside line like lightning. His slender body soared into the air in the high-speed movement, like an eagle flying into the air, with a slightly bent body, a basketball with one hand held high, and his whole person was like a bowstring in the air.
The fans of Staples Arena looked at everything that was happening in front of them with an ugly look on their faces.
"Bang", the loud dunk sounded throughout the stadium.
Lakers fans could not believe their eyes, so they could only watch the basketball jumping on the floor. The chaotic tube just now suddenly fell to the trough, leaving only the cheers of a very small number of Pistons fans.
The Zen master decisively called a timeout, and he never dared to take it lightly for the game against the Pistons. However, he never expected that the Pistons, who were fighting away, would show such strong strength, which would make the Lakers unable to fight back for a while.
John Custer sat on the sidelines coach's seat with a bright smile on his face. The team not only played smooth attacks, but also performed well in defense.
Zhou Yi's incredible steals made the Pistons have another 7:3 climax. Now, the score on the field is 101:84, and the Pistons have won a 17-point lead.
The game started over and Kobe significantly strengthened the attack intensity. Although Paul Gasol is currently in the Lakers lineup, Kobe is the one who deserves to rely on at critical moments. Especially when others perform poorly, Kobe undoubtedly has to bear more responsibilities and pressure in the game.
It is not easy to limit Kobe's performance. The Pistons' current lineup is naturally James Percy.
The Pistons currently have the lineup on the court: Samuel Durhamport, Greg Monroe, Andre Iguodala, James Posey and Zhou Yi.
John Custer still trusts James Percy's defensive ability very much. As a champion team's best puzzle, James Percy always knows when and when not to do what.
Kobe received the ball in the midfield, but this time the person who appeared in front of him was Zhou Yi. James Percy's full defense made him exhausted his energy, especially when facing players of Kobe's level.
Slowly and rhythmically controlled the ball in his hand, Kobe kept adjusting his body. He tried to find a chance to break through Zhou Yi, but unfortunately Zhou Yi did not give him the chance.
Kobe kept dribbling between his legs. Suddenly he started and rushed over from Zhou Yi's right. Zhou Yi took a step back and quickly moved one step to withstand Kobe with his body. Kobe no longer had room to accelerate again, and could only pass the ball to the outside.
After Steve Blake received the ball outside the three-point line, he quickly handed it to the inside. However, his pass was too careless and Andre Iguodala easily intercepted the ball.
Then Andre Iguodala made a long pass and the ball flew out of the half. The moment he passed the ball, Zhou Yi had already understood his intention and quickly used all his strength to run back.
Although the two were only one position apart just now, Zhou Yi started it one step ahead and quickly opened the distance. Kobe's pursuit naturally became useless.
Seeing Zhou Yi succeed in layup, he waved his fist in annoyance.
In the Lakers' offense, Kobe received the ball outside the right wing three-point line, but he did not have a chance to take action. James Percy had already appeared in front of him at the first time. Other Lakers players were in poor condition, and only Kobe seemed to have regained his touch. John Custer's task to James Percy was very simple, that is, try to limit Kobe's score.
Steve Blake quickly pulled to the outside line when he saw the opportunity and made a simple pick-and-roll with Kobe. After Kobe broke into the inside, he decisively threw the ball out.
"Swish", the ball entered.
The Pistons attacked, Zhou Yi broke through with the ball, passed James Percy, and James Percy hung the ball into the inside again. Greg Monroe turned his hand and made a layup, but was blocked by Andrew Bynum, and Paul Gasol took the defensive rebound.
Kobe's three-point pass from the line gave Mercy World Peace. The Pistons quickly replaced defense, and Andre Iguodala followed decisively, forcing the shooting action of Mercy World Peace to stop.
Kobe got the ball again near the free throw line, but he seemed to have no intention of taking action. His right hand holding the ball quickly threw out. The moment James Percy moved slightly, a flash of light flashed in Kobe's eyes, and the right hand that was thrown away suddenly retracted, jumped up, and the whole movement was flowing without any hindrance.
James Percy's reaction was very fast. When Kobe got up, he had already adjusted his center of gravity. Unfortunately, Kobe's ball floated and shot.
With a "swish", James Percy shook his head helplessly. He is worthy of being a top player in the league. His rich game experience is indeed not something he can compare with. He just now tried his best to raise his arms to try to interfere with his shooting, but he still forced a ball over his head.
With Kobe's goal scored, the Lakers scored 107:94, only 13 points behind the Pistons.
The Pistons' offense ended in failure again. John Custer immediately sat upright, and a trace of worry arose from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, there were 4 minutes and 23 seconds left in the whole game, and the Pistons only led the opponent by 13 points. If the Pistons did not fight back, the Lakers would easily catch up with the score.
Just as John Custer was nervously watching everything on the court, Kobe scored another goal from outside the three-point line.
107:97, the Pistons only lead the opponent by 10 points.
John Custer immediately shouted a pause to prevent the situation from worsening.
John Custer carefully analyzed the trends of both sides on the tactical board, and he was not satisfied with the current advantage of the Pistons. After all, the opponent is extraordinary, with the best shooting guard in the league and the gold medal coach with eleven championship rings, the Lakers are something that no team dares to underestimate.
After the timeout, Zhou Yi was temporarily replaced, Will Bynum was replaced by him. Yodi Meeks also came up and replaced Andre Iguodala.
After Zhou Yi left the court, the person in charge of defending Kobe was Yodi Meeks. Although Yodi Meeks recovered well, his pace was obviously not as fast as Kobe, and he was successfully attacked by Kobe.
The Lakers once narrowed the gap, but fortunately, Yodi Meeks was like the mainstay and also scored consecutively on Kobe's head, keeping the gap in double digits.
Seeing Kobe gradually showing off his momentum, John Custer was not panicked at all. He knew very well that a person could not defeat a team.
With 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game, John Custer once again called a timeout. At this moment, the score between the two sides was 110:101, and the Pistons were still 9 points ahead.
After the timeout, Zhou Yi replaced Yodi Meeks and formed a two-point guard lineup with Will Bynum, and Andre Iguodala also replaced James Percy.
The game continues and the decisive moment is coming!
As soon as the game continued, the Lakers launched a fierce attack.
After halftime, Derek Fisher passed the ball to Kobe without hesitation. Kobe did not attack, but instead hung the ball to Paul Gasol, who had performed well recently.
After Paul Gasol received the ball, he drove the ball with his back a few times, then shook his hook left and right, and the ball entered.
After halftime, Zhou Yi calmly scanned the whole game. At this time, Andre Iguodala pulled up and walked around Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi directly handed the player to Andre Iguodala's hands, and then made a pick-and-roll for him, blocking the world of mercy that defended Andre Iguodala.
Without the peace of Mercy World Defense, Andre Iguodala increased his speed to the fastest, rushed into the Lakers' inside line, then dunked his hands, and also caused Paul Gasol to foul.
This ball was played very beautifully and was inseparable from Zhou Yi's clever cooperation.
Andre Iguodala made a free throw, and he also made a free throw.
Kobe is in control of the ball. At this time, Zhou Yi is defending Kobe. Zhou Yi is pressing tightly and constantly interfering with Kobe with small movements. However, these did not make Kobe make mistakes. Kobe dribbled behind the back, pulled the ball to the left, and pulled it out of the three-point line to jump and shoot directly.
With a "swish", the basketball fell into the basket.
For players on the court, three-pointers are more deadly than dunks. Three-pointers at critical moments put a lot of pressure on the opponent, and when they are behind, three-pointers are the greatest hope. Many major reversals in NBA history have used three-pointers as the main means, such as the "Jody Meeks Moment" and "Miller Moment" that have been famous in history.
Continuous dribbling under his crotch, and then a crossover threw Kobe away. Seeing Kobe being broken through, Derek Fisher immediately came over to assist Zhou Yi. Seeing Derek Fisher pounce, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry. He passed the ball easily behind the back and handed the ball to Will Bynum, who was not far away from the three-point line.
After Will Bynum received the ball, he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, and the ball actually entered the net hollow.
Kobe received the ball at a high position, broke through Zhou Yi and faced Andre Iguodala's backup defense. He turned around and jumped back to make a jump shot. With a "swish", another hollow shot was entered into the net.
Samuel Durhamport also responded to his opponent with a hook.
Since the timeout has ended, both sides have been in a stalemate and have a high shooting percentage, but in fact, the Lakers have not narrowed the gap. The current score is 118:108, and the Pistons are still 10 points ahead, while the game time is only 1 minute and 24 seconds left.
Kobe's breakthrough speed was very fast. After getting rid of Zhou Yi, Kobe found that the Pistons players were all guarding against other Lakers players. Looking at the Pistons' basket open, Kobe was ecstatic. Such an excellent opportunity was a good opportunity to play with the team's momentum.
Two steps inside the free throw line, Kobe was like a big roc flying with wings spreading his wings, rising into the air, holding the ball with his right hand high, and became the focus of the court for a moment.
The Staples Arena, which had been silent for a long time, has once again become a sea of joy. No one can forget that Kobe was once the dunk king. In the past few years, Kobe has staged countless wonderful and exciting dunks at the Staples Arena. The team's unfavorable are certainly uninteresting, but if he can see Kobe's wonderful dunk, it is worth the money to pay for the ticket, and it will be worth the trip.
However, it is obvious that some people are unwilling to let Kobe perform. At the moment when his right hand was about to dunk, a black shadow quickly rose from the right side of the basket, and the amazing bounce completely blocked Kobe's dunk position.
