Chapter 372 The lore, killing gods is better than killing gods!(1/2)
Thank you all so much today. Xiao Ai listed the specific names of everyone on the last day. I am really excited! I don’t know if the monthly ticket can break 70 or even higher!
The reason for the late update is that the network was down and I couldn't upload it. It took more than half an hour to upload on my mobile phone and it took more than 20 megabytes to finally upload it. I'm begging for votes!

"The 12-point difference doesn't seem big, and there is still time to play in the fourth quarter. But from my point of view, the Los Angeles Lakers played really badly and did not have the effect they should have, especially Anzu in the paint. This." Kenny Smith commented.
"Anzu, Little Shark." Charles Barkley laughed exaggeratedly, "Although I hate that guy Shaq, I still have to say that today's Little Shark is so worthless, I even feel that he can't even The Eddie Curry in New York is not as good as him. At least Eddie Curry will not have a short-circuit in his head like him. Some people may say that he is a young player."
Barkley glanced at the Lakers bench and continued: "This is already his third season in the NBA. He must show corresponding growth to repay the trust of the Lakers management, and of course Kareem. Kareem must I really regret being his teacher, a 20-year-old kid can't handle a 60-year-old man."
As Barkley said, Bynum's performance tonight was extremely poor. As the head coach, Phil Jackson was very dissatisfied, and the team's ability to only fall behind by 12 points depended entirely on Gasol, Odom and Kobe. cooperation between.
The current integration of the team is not very good, and they have not played the triangle offensive tactics he had in mind, but fortunately there are three of them plus Fisher.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Bynum was still placed on the bench, and Chris Mihm, Odom, Luke Walton, Vujacic and Fisher became the Lakers' lineup.
The Magic replaced Mutombo, Chris Webber, Grant Hill, Sam Cassell and Billups, who performed exceptionally well on the defensive end today.
"Orlando's lineup is a little too old," Kenny Smith said, looking at the Magic players on the court.
"Hey, it's not that they're too big, they're completely older." Barkley added with a smile.
Although the Magic's lineup is very old, it is not bad on the offensive end. Linson has completely become an organizer without Billups and has returned to the role of Detroit. The Magic played vigorously on the offensive end.
But this lineup also has quite a few shortcomings, especially Cassel. Although Cassel is good on the offensive end, he does not perform well on the defensive end. He was not a fast defender when he was young, let alone now, which directly led to his being Jasic scored two three-pointers in a row. Stan Van Gundy was already preparing to make substitutions.
At this time, Hill received Cassel's point ball and shot directly, but the ball missed. Odom grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately turned from defense to offense and advanced forward, while Vujacic on the other side also came down quickly.
The Magic returned to defense as quickly as possible, but what they didn't expect was that Vujacic caught the ball and shot when he was still one step away from the three-point line, and he made a hit.
"Sasha...Vujacic..." the MC on the scene extended his voice, and Vujacic on the court roared excitedly.
"Unexpectedly, he made a good shot. He scored three three-pointers in a row, and the Lakers chased the point difference to only seven points. Stan couldn't sit still, and Sam should have been replaced." Kenny Smith had just finished speaking, Stan Van Gundy requested a timeout. At this time, four minutes into the fourth quarter, there were still almost two minutes left before the normal main lineup came on stage.
Cassel himself was helpless, but everything was a foregone conclusion. Cassel took the big towel handed by the staff and sat directly on the bench.
"What's going on? Bryant came on the field early? Has he rested? He didn't rest in the third quarter." Kenny Smith was surprised when he looked at Kobe who walked on the court.
The same was true for the fans at the scene, but when they saw Kobe coming on the stage, they immediately responded with crazy cheers.
"Obviously Bryant wants to seize this opportunity to chase points as soon as possible, but Orlando is also playing now with Sean. His performance against Sean tonight was not good," Barkley said.
The entire Magic coaching staff did not expect Kobe to return to the court so early, but they felt relieved when they thought of Battier being replaced.
However, the Magic's offense failed to score. Weber's mid-range jumper slipped out of the basket due to Odom's efforts. Vujacic, who had just made three consecutive three-pointers, got a defensive rebound.
"Chris missed the shot, now is Los Angeles' opportunity." Kenny Smith said while looking at the court.
Fisher passed the ball to Kobe Bryant. Battier immediately marked him.
And Vujacic was running quickly, and the hot touch just now made the Magic have to pay attention to his defense, which directly caused Battier to face Kobe alone. It was still his signature defense, but this time Kobe could not block it.
Kobe Bryant.
"Damn it!" Lin Sen off the court was very depressed when he saw Kobe Bryant's goal. The entire Staples Center cheered wildly for Kobe Bryant.
In the next two minutes, Kobe hit two more goals to directly help the Lakers catch up to only two points. Stan Van Gundy was already preparing to call a timeout. At this time, Odom stole Webber, and the Lakers immediately launched a fast break.
"Steal, Lamar steals the ball, Lakers fast break!" Kenny Smith changed the topic and shouted loudly. Kobe quickly advanced with the ball, and the Lakers fans at Staples cheered wildly.
What the Magic didn't expect was that Fisher shot a chasing three-pointer directly from the outside. More importantly, Fisher's three-pointer was hit steadily.
The Lakers had been chasing for almost a whole night and officially took the lead at this time. This situation was unexpected by all Magic fans. Staples, which can accommodate 20,000 people, was completely boiling.
"This all happened too suddenly. Stan should have replaced him earlier. Kobe Bryant obviously turned on his personal offensive mode after he came on the court. The whole world knows that he cannot be messed with when he turns on his offensive mode. And Sean and Ron are not the same type.
Defensive players, replacing Ron may be able to change this situation."
"I agree with this, but it's not too late to call a timeout now. I hope I can adjust. After all, there is still time." Kenny Smith looked at the Magic players on the sidelines.
"If nothing goes wrong, Wood will return to the court, as will Ronde and White. The most important thing for Orlando right now is to score goals to stabilize the situation and then to defend. Chauncey should be replaced from the fourth quarter."
Buckley said.
The 20-second pause passed quickly. Just as Barkley said, Stan Van Gundy made a substitution. At this moment, there were 6 minutes and 22 seconds left before the end of the game. The Lakers led the Magic by 1 point, 88:87.
"The game restarted, and everyone in Orlando except Sean stayed on the court was the starter. On the Los Angeles side, there are Paul, Lamar, Michael, Bryant and Derrick. Orlando's offense is particularly important this time." Kenny Smith
He looked at the players on the field and said.
Lin Sen received Battier's serve and did not rush to dribble the ball through the front court. Instead, he took the ball to the front court unhurriedly. The Lakers did not choose to press the ball full court. They were in the lead.
When Lin Sen came to the frontcourt, Pietrus immediately pulled out of the three-point line. In this game, Lin Sen did not choose individual singles much, but his defensive effect was not good.
For the Magic, this goal must be scored, because it is related to the morale of the team, and as the leader of the team, he must stand up. Even if there is a better offensive system option, Lin Sen will not choose it. Because the system scores the most goals
It can only temporarily relieve the team's morale. What he wants is to boost the team's morale again.
"Wood made a gesture, Sean went up, covered... Bryant covered the defense!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly. And the defensive player in front of Linsen changed from Pietrus to Kobe.
Such a scene is what Lin Sen can think of and what he expects. After spending a month with Kobe, he is familiar with Kobe's defense. Although his offense will be a little difficult in the face of Kobe's defense, Lin Sen believes that defeating Kobe is far better than defeating Kobe.
Pietrus came with value.
Neither of them spoke, but looked directly at each other. The belief in victory flashed in their eyes.
"In the direct conversation between Wood and Bryant, Wood seemed to have no intention of passing the ball." Kenny Smith said while looking at the court.
Dribbling the ball in an irregular rhythm, his steps moved forward little by little, and Kobe also retreated little by little, but always maintained pressure on Lin Sen.
When the attack time reached fifteen seconds, Lin Sen, to the surprise of most people, gave up on a direct breakthrough and instead chose to attack from behind.
"Oh. Wood made such a choice."
"Kenny, don't forget that Wood showed strength several times today. He and Bryant have been together all summer, so he must be certain of his choice." Barkley turned to look at Kenny Smith and said.
As Barkley said, he was not unsure, but Kobe did not defend Linsen because of their relationship off the court.
Bang!
Lin Sen's back bumped into Kobe, and he immediately had a plan in mind. In addition to scoring goals, he also had to consume Kobe's physical energy.
After three consecutive hits, Lin Sen arrived one step away from the three-point line.
At this moment, he leaned on Kobe's body and feinted violently, but Kobe behind him did not stagger. This move was taught to Lin Sen by him.
However, Lin Sen immediately started to shake. He hit the ball with his left foot, kicked off the ground with his right foot and took a half-step before jumping up in front of Kobe.
Seeing Lin Sen taking off quickly, Kobe reacted and immediately jumped up while straightening his arms in an attempt to interfere with Lin Sen.
However, Lin Sen's body took a half step back when he turned over and his body was still leaning back. Although he was facing Kobe head-on at this moment, the distance between the two was widened. Kobe could only follow Battier's example.
Block Lin Sen's shooting sight.
Lin Sen glanced at Kobe Bryant, who was rushing towards him, and quickly threw the ball out with a standard shooting hand. The moment the ball was released, Lin Sen felt like he had scored a goal, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"**!" Kobe cursed in a low voice. Lin Sen's smile was very familiar to him. He had experienced it many times this summer, and soon a voice from behind confirmed what he thought.
"A beautiful shot! A beautiful step-back jumper. It's hard to imagine that half a year ago, Wood, who was standing in the mid-range, was still a defensive player who could stay away from him two meters away." Kenny Smith praised.
"I won't let you get what you want." Lin Sen smiled at Kobe and turned around again when he turned to leave, "And you still owe me and Tarcy two meals."
Kobe's eyes widened when he heard this: "Victory can only be mine. As for the meal, I will never forget it."
"Maybe Bryant will regret training with Wood. Look at how stretched his movements are. It's so beautiful. Wood this season is enough to give those opponents more headaches. Orlando went ahead by one point." Barkley said with a smile.
Kobe, who returned to the offensive end, faced Artest's beastly defense. Although Kobe failed to complete the goal, he caused Artest's thug to foul. Kobe, who stood on the free throw line, made one of two free throws to help the Lakers even the point difference.
.
In the next attack, Lin Sen faced Pietrus' defense. Lin Sen, who had adjusted his rhythm, did not leave Pietrus much time to think. He made contact with Pietrus' body and started fiercely at the same time.
With one big step, he threw Pietrus behind him. Lin Sen, who had thrown away Pietrus, went directly to the inside.
"Perfect first step. The pace is too fast and too big." Kenny Smith shouted loudly.
Looking at Pau Gasol, who was defending himself with his arms raised, Linson smacked the ball hard and then rushed forward with the ball in his arms.
Seeing Lin Sen rushing up like a bag of explosives, Gasol didn't dare to make any downward movement and could only raise his arms to put pressure on Lin Sen.
"Wood rushed towards Paul, oh, he chose to pass the ball, a beautiful pass!" Following Barkley's words, Howard received the ball and dunked it with both hands.
The game has completely entered a white-hot state. Without Billups, the Magic has become an enhanced defensive version of last season. However, Kobe has completely opened up his personal offensive mode. Although Artest and Battier are difficult to deal with, under the cover of his teammates,
With his own touch, Kobe scored 10 points again in just four minutes. Not only did he once again increase his personal score to a high of 45 points, he also helped the team hold on to the Magic.
Lin Sen was not far behind either. However, after Billups returned to play, Lin Sen's offense became much easier. Although he did not score as many points as Kobe, he unknowingly increased his score to 30 points.
The game continued, with 1 minute and 10 seconds left before the full game. With Billups hitting a mid-range jumper, the Magic and the Lakers tied at 104:104.
"Chauncy's key goal. But this time Wood's distribution of the ball was just right, and the two sides were tied. Wood's physical fitness still seemed to be very strong, and Bryant missed two shots in a row. Everyone could see that he was
There was a problem with his physical fitness. He had played nearly 40 minutes in the entire game and had to constantly face the defense of Ron and Sean, two top defenders. He also took on certain defensive tasks. But no one can underestimate him.
His deadly Black Mamba." Kenny Smith said, looking at Kobe Bryant who was next to Artest on the court reaching for the ball.
Pau Gasol pulled out from the inside, and Kobe, who was originally close to Artest, immediately ran to the top of the arc. At the same time, Fisher, who was holding the ball, directly passed the ball over.
"Paul screened, Bryant received the ball, and broke through!"
Following Kenny Smith's words, Kobe, who was already exhausted physically and mentally, turned around and rushed to the inside.
Facing Milicic who was covering him, he changed direction and passed Milicic and went straight to the basket. Lin Sen, who was guarding Fisher, turned around at the moment Fisher passed the ball and saw Kobe heading straight to the inside.
