"If this was my last game, I would certainly not leave any regrets."

At the end of the third quarter, when the 76ers led by 21 points, Jay Wright asked Weisha and Kobe to come down to rest.

Wei Xia talked about the possibility of winning the championship tonight - it was actually very high - so, when he knew that Kobe would retire, he asked Kobe what other regrets he had.

That's why Kobe answered this way.

He really won't leave any regrets.

The Lakers are already depressed. Except for several core players such as James, other role players cannot see the desire to win.

In the last minute of the third quarter, Teodosic made a three-pointer two meters away from the NBA three-point line.

James responded with a long shot;

Durant broke through the ball and dunked to boost morale, but Cousins ​​dominated the penalty area and beat Larry Lance Jr. to six fouls.

94 to 78

The Lakers worked hard to catch the gap to 16 points, and then ushered in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Wright put up a strange lineup: Ross, Teodosic, Garlinari, Bamott, and Cousins.

Teodosic plays the second position, and Ross is responsible for the assault.

But Teodosic is a high point guard, so there will be no pocket-size between him and Ross that the Warriors' golden double guns give people.

The problem is defense, and both of these two are not good at defense.

The Lakers, who were trying to reverse, also wanted to catch the defensive problems of these two people, and they did catch them.

In the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' offense only missed once.

If you want to narrow the score, this efficient offense is necessary.

The problem is that although they can attack, they can't defend.

Ross' breakthrough was at its peak, and Teodosic's three-point shot was easy today. In fact, when he was in the CSKA, he was more like a tall version of Curry than a magician.

Although Ross and Bamot's outside threat was almost a problem, Teodosic and Gallinari's three-pointers were enough to give Cousinsla a broad space.

The Lakers have no choice but to use the 76ers to attack from inside and outside.

The difference between 16 points has been reached, and in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, it only narrowed by 1 point.

106 to 91

The 76ers took the initiative to call for a timeout, and Wright changed back to the entire main force.

"LeBron, it's time to end this game."

It was not Wei Xia who said this, but Kobe.

The 40-year-old man made harsh words, but it was actually not very powerful.

James didn't take it seriously, and even thought of Kobe as a breakthrough. After all, his age is here, and the continuity of the offense is definitely not comparable to that of the young man. It might be a good thing to replace him and replace Teodosic with a hot touch?

It is normal for him to have ideas, but thinking so has more or less underestimated Kobe's offensive comfort in the 76ers.

Kobe's transformation in the 76ers was successful. He completely abandoned the early offensive method of large-scale singles and huge wear on his body.

The Lakers never expected that Kobe would really become the key to burying this game.

Wei Xia tried to break through, and the Lakers were very sensitive to his offense and did not give him any room for breakthrough. The shrinkage was so strong that it seemed to be preventing the final kill.

All Wei Xia had to do was pass the ball outside.

Kobe's reception made the Lakers' defense pay the price.

"Swish!"

He returned to defense with a blank expression, probably knowing that every second after that, he would be the last picture he left for NBA.

As long as Kobe has a touch, Wei Xia's ball will be passed over continuously.

This is his last battle, winning the championship is necessary, and at the same time, if conditions permit, let him become the protagonist of tonight.

"Kobe, I have a small goal." Wei Xia said when she ran back, "I want to get 15 assists, and it seems that it can only rely on you."

Kobe sneered: "I know what you mean, if you don't get 15 assists, I'll blame me?"

Wei Xia smiled tactfully and said, "Am I that kind of person?"

Kobe sneered and let out a snorted "Who is that you are?", and the Lakers' offense came to him.

Durant completely gave up shooting, held the ball and entered the penalty area, and committed another foul.

93 to 109

The Lakers' offensive efficiency is actually not a big problem with their 2-point free throw. The reason why they are so passive is that they cannot defend against the 76ers' offense.

In the next round, they strengthened their defense against Kobe.

No matter how good the touch is, it is an old man, and it is impossible for him to really bypass the young man's blockade.

The Lakers' extreme defensive strategy has many loopholes. In order to keep an eye on Kobe, Cousins ​​got the chance to go ahead after covering.

Zubac, who faced him, could not limit his movements.

Wei Xia's ball was thrown into the basket from the outside.

Cousins ​​caught the ball and dunked.

111 to 93

The Lakers, full of urgency, knew that they had reached a situation where they could not stop scoring. There was not much time left in the game and 18 points were lost. If there was another problem with the offense, it would be really too late to make a comeback.

James attacked with the ball like a tank, knocking away Wei Xia's defense.

He didn't expect Kobe to ambush behind Wei Xia.

"Beep!"

James knocked Kobe down and was called for an offensive foul.

"It's been 2018, and you still ask Kobe to give you a guarantee!" James looked quite angry and embarrassed.

Wei Xia said with a shameless face: "I can give the 40-year-old man a guarantee, but you can only give the 40-year-old man a guarantee. No wonder you are so tired of playing basketball."

Whether it is angry or disappointed, the rhythm is not in the hands of the Lakers.

Kobe is in a state of unity between man and nature, and he has determined that this game is his retirement battle. Since it is a retirement battle, he must show his best side.

Humans are creatures that become stronger due to emotional fluctuations.

Kobe is in a state of great emotion, and Wei Xia doesn’t have to do much.

The most important thing is to fully mobilize Kobe's energy.

He dribbled the ball and suddenly made a breakthrough, forcing James' defense to approach his direction.

But his breakthrough was just a cover-up. His real intention was to use his left hand to collect the ball, lean on James, and throw the ball out of his shoulder without looking at Kobe.

“holy    wish!!!”

Another magic    mov, Wei Xia’s wonderful pass performance gave Kobe a chance to get into the basket with the ball.

Kobe dribbled the ball, amid Lakers fans' booing for him, and dunked with one-handed one-handed dunk.

The height is average and the strength is light, but this is still a dunk worthy of being selected as the top five goals.

113 to 93

The fourth quarter ended in the fifth minute, and with the remaining 7 minutes, the 76ers led by 20 points.

This is an iconic moment.

This is the moment when the Lakers are in full swing toward defeat and their hopes of reversal are almost zero.

James and Durant, two of the four best players in the league today, should not end like this, but the result of this game is that no matter what, it will never be rewritten again.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, 76 people began to harvest.

Especially Kobe, he got a lot of ball rights.

Tactical running position, he is the one who has the opportunity;

Wei Xia attracted the attack, but he was the one who got the vacant position;

The Lakers are not concerned about his defense, and he can get opportunities through his teammates' restraint or cover;

More importantly, he did not waste these opportunities.

It is precisely because he has shot all the goals he should score that opportunities will continue to appear.

In the last three minutes, 76ers replaced one after another, leading to 28 points, but they had not yet stopped.

Kobe has scored 38 points, but Wei Xia gave him the ball without calling the tactics.

Kobe encountered defense and called for pick-and-roll, and only got an open position. In an instant, he stepped on the three-point line and pulled out two points at the extreme distance.

Those fans who look at his game should be familiar with this scene.

This old man will never shoot a frustrating three-nothing in the playoffs again, because tonight will be the last one.
