Chapter 498 495: Same tenacity, different ending (6.4K votes requested)

Denver, Pepsi Center.

The Los Angeles Lakers were trailing by 12 points. If they lost, they would have to play Game 5 with the Denver Nuggets.

Obviously, neither Kobe nor Yao Ming want this to happen.

They can't wait to be "reunited" with the Portland Trail Blazers, and they don't want to waste one more game of physical energy.

So in the final quarter, the Lakers' two superstars, inside and outside, showed their dominance.

Then here we are, with 32 seconds left in the game and Kobe holding the ball at the top of the key.

He was sweating profusely, but the 33-year-old veteran's eyes showed no signs of fatigue.

On the contrary, his eyes are more determined than many young players on the Nuggets.

Wilson Chandler nervously adjusted his position with small steps. In the fourth quarter, he had already seen the horror of No. 24.

He can score from all angles and with all kinds of skills that you will never learn in your life.

He seems to be born to score.

His domineering attitude will always make you feel breathless.

"In the last 32 seconds, Kobe holds the ball on the outside! What will he do?" The on-site commentator was nervous. Everyone knew that Kobe was killing people at critical moments.

Kobe glanced at Yao Ming and then started dribbling.

He first moved his hips to the left, and then suddenly accelerated to the right.

Wilson Chandler quickly moved over, knowing that giving Kobe any space would be extremely dangerous.

The moment Chandler moved sideways, Kobe made another big arc change!

The nagging speed is not fast, after all, I am already 33 years old. His dribbling movements are not flashy either. There are countless young people in this league who are more flashy than him in dribbling.

But because of his extremely superb rhythm, Kobe's three consecutive changes of direction allowed him to successfully shake Chandler away.

"I'll wipe it!" Wilson Chandler knew that he was fucked.

He is about to be passed over!

If Kobe is allowed to take the lead at the last moment, the Nuggets will really have to go home and dig.

Nagging broke through Chandler, chic and elegant.

Lakers fans all over the world are clenching their fists. Can No. 24 kill the game?

People always say that there are no miracles in this world. But when Kobe held the ball at the last moment, everyone believed in a miracle.

At this time, Kenyon Martin leaned toward Kobe. The Brazilian had already guarded the basket, and the Nuggets' defense shrank.

Kobe was not afraid, he still jumped up.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, but his eyes only fell on one person.

"Kobe broke through Chandler and he jumped up for a layup. No, it wasn't a layup! It was a pass. Kobe just feinted and passed the ball to Yao Ming who was cutting in!"

Yao Ming, 2-time NBA champion, 1-time Olympic champion, 1-time World Championship champion.

Another great figure in the glorious history of the Lakers, a landmark figure in Chinese basketball

In the minds of fans, Kobe is certainly great.

But everyone knows that without Yao Ming, there would be no two championships behind the Lakers.

Last summer, when the Great Wall of China announced that he was retiring after this season, Los Angeles fans spontaneously organized themselves to the entrance of the Staples Center, holding up signs that read "Please stay," begging the Oriental player The Giants continued to guard Staples' penalty area.

Although Yao Ming was reluctant to give up, he knew that there was already Kobe in Los Angeles.

On the other side of the ocean, Yao Ming is needed even more.

But no matter what, now, he is still a member of the Lakers.

His goal is still to win honors for the team.

He and Kobe made an agreement that in the future, a No. 11 jersey and a No. 24 jersey will be hung on the wall of honor in Staples Center.

Above their jerseys, there will be three championship banners joining hands.

Now, it’s just the last step!

After receiving Kobe's pass, Yao Ming took a big step, took off and dunked.

The Brazilian didn't expect Kobe to pass the ball. In panic, he turned to face Yao Ming, but to no avail.

The Chinese giant was already pressing towards him.

"Tomatoes!"

"Yao Ming received the basketball, he dunked it directly, and there was no reaction at all.

Bang! Yao dunked the ball in, he almost killed the game, he almost killed the game!

Great combination, great coordination, great Los Angeles Lakers, they don't want to leave a glimmer of hope for the Denver Nuggets!

From being 12 points behind to overtaking at the critical moment, I would say, this is definitely the greatest fourth quarter game ever played by a drug addicted team! "

Amid the cheers of the commentators, Yao Ming raised his arms excitedly and shouted loudly.

Kobe smiled slightly and pointed at Yao Ming. There are not many people who want Kobe to hand over the ball at critical moments, and Yao Ming is one of them.

In a daze, Kobe felt as if he had returned to 11 years ago.

In Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals, the Lakers fell behind by 16 points in the fourth quarter.

If they can't win, the Lakers won't advance to the finals.

Then, No. 8 Kobe shook Pippen away from the three-point line, and after breaking through, he threw the ball high.

From the side, the Big Mac was coming, flying into the air as if it had wings, catching the basketball, crushing the top, and dunking in an alley-oop.

It's all over, the noise fades away, and everything becomes quiet.

Kobe didn't expect that he would think of that bastard Shaq at this moment.

But he must admit that the goal just now was really similar to the one 11 years ago.

11 years ago, he was just starting out and following Shaq around.

11 years later, he became the owner of Staples and created brilliance with another giant.

Kobe couldn't help but grit his teeth. That collaboration 11 years ago started the Lakers' three consecutive championship era.

With this collaboration 11 years later, let Kobe make a perfect summary of the era between himself and Yao Ming!

The cooperation of Yao Ming and Kobe allowed the Lakers to lead the Nuggets by 2 points at the critical moment.

Key ball, this is the Nuggets' weakness, because they don't have the kind of person who can make the final decision.

At this time, George Karl will probably miss Carmelo Anthony, who he once thought was untrainable.

Sure enough, in the last round, Gallinari's three-pointer missed the frame under Artest's tight attack.

At the moment when the basketball was playing, the buzzer sounded throughout the stadium, and Yao Ming and Kobe ran towards each other and hugged each other tightly.

"We won another round, Yao! Just made a great dunk!"

"Well, next, we have to deal with the Trail Blazers!" Yao Ming raised his head and looked at the score of this game.

102 vs. 100, what a risk!

Today, the Nuggets were in excellent condition and once exploded from beyond the three-point line.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, most people felt that the Lakers had to go back to Staples for Game 5.

But who could have imagined that things would change in the fourth quarter.

Wayne looked at the two guys hugging each other in the middle of the court and couldn't help but get goosebumps.

So scary~

To be honest, in this year's playoffs, it was obvious that Naochi was having a hard time playing.

He is no longer as freewheeling as he was in previous years. Just that goal just two years ago, Nao He could have scored without passing the ball.

Isn't it just pulling the stick in the air twice to avoid being blocked? Is this a big deal?

But once athletes pass 30, their physical condition generally declines as fast as AE86 descending Akina Mountain.

It's the same thing every year.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a very small number of athletes over the age of 30 are not like AE86, but like Mercedes-Benz.

Not only does it not slide down very fast, but it can also climb trees.

Duncan: Shut up!

Although the decline of Nacha is visible to the naked eye, the hard work displayed by the entire Lakers in the playoffs is actually the strongest in history.

During the regular season, the Trail Blazers only won once against the Lakers.

It's because no matter how you fight, the opponent can't be killed!

It stands to reason that the Lakers team has already won two championships, so there will be some slack, lack of energy, and low fighting spirit.

In the original history, the Lakers in 11 years and the Heat after two consecutive championships both had this problem.

But the Lakers happened to do the opposite.

All this is because Yao Ming said last summer that this was his last season.

Therefore, all Lakers players hope to seize the last opportunity and leave the most beautiful ending.

The fighting spirit of this team is no less than that of the Mavericks next door.

Don't underestimate something as mysterious as fighting spirit, it can really affect the game.

Just like southerners rely on their integrity to survive the winter, Mosaic's ability to win the championship in the 1994-95 season was really supported by a fighting spirit.

They were nearly killed countless times, but miraculously survived.

If you have to say that your mental quality is poor, you really can’t do it just by having the ability.

The sentence "Don't underestimate the heart of a person who has tasted brains" really sums it up well.

It seems like this

Chairman Yao, you can do it, you have the skills!

Today, the Lakers won another game with amazing willpower.

If it were the Lakers who had no fighting spirit in the original history, today's reversal would be impossible to achieve.

Being so far behind, I might have given up long ago.

Wayne took a deep breath. The second round of the playoffs hadn't started yet, but he could already imagine how difficult it was.

This time, the Lakers are the ones who are complaining about the decline in personal ability, but the team's fighting spirit is at its maximum.

It's torture.

Thinking about it this way, I really miss the time when I played in the playoffs with Du Xiaoshuai.

The moment of death is coming again.

As expected, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 4-0.

The Trail Blazers and Lakers also became the only two teams in the Western Conference to sweep their opponents 4-0 to advance to the second round.

In the upper half of the West, the situation is not so clear.

The Spurs were beaten 104-86 by the Grizzlies today, and the current total score is 3-1.

That's right, the Grizzlies, eighth in the Western Conference, 3-1, the Spurs, first in the Western Conference with 61 wins.

God said, let there be light, and there was light.

Wayne said that there must be a black eight, so there were two bears.

As expected, they are all clergymen.

At the end of the game, the old thief's eyes were dull.

At this time, he didn't look like the wise Master Popovich, but more like a simple old man who hadn't had a good rest.

3 to 1, although it is not the end of the world, it is already a knife to the neck.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. No matter how high the old thief's expectations were before, he will be more desperate now.

I worked so hard to get out first in the Western Conference

Just to be a joke?

Wayne just felt lucky, the Lakers were only one game away from being first in the Western Conference!

so close.

An opponent like the grizzly bear should be left to the old thieves to enjoy slowly.

In the East, the 62-win Bulls also became the first team to advance.

Rose stepped on Anthony's body and walked out, worthy of being the 03 New Era Killer.

Even the director of the Los Angeles War Ignorance Bureau, Maggie, only dares to say that Knicks fans should be prepared to win the championship in two or three years, but dare not say what the Knicks can do this year.

Because the Knicks are really not that good this year.

There is no need to say much about Angua's ability, but the Knicks' role players are hard to describe.

In addition, Stoudemire and Flounder were injured one after another, and it was really difficult for Angua to compete with the Bulls with a disabled Knicks team.

Shortly after the Bulls defeated the Knicks 4-0, Mousse's Big Three also left home.

Beat the Eagles 4-0, easily.

After all, the Hawks are just an ordinary playoff team, and they can't compete with the Heat, who are guaranteed seven championships.

Although the Heat don't have much of a system now, their talent alone is more than enough to beat the Hawks.

Currently, two teams from the Eastern and Western Divisions have advanced.

Speculation about the championship has also intensified.

Over in the East, most people are unanimously optimistic about the Heat.

Although the Heat are now the public enemy, they are the public enemy precisely because they are strong enough.

But here in the west, even the most confident experts dare not speculate on the results.

Didn't you see that the Spurs were defeated 3-1 by the Grizzlies? The under-promised Mavericks also pushed the Warriors into a desperate situation, while the much-anticipated Thunder failed to win a single game.

As for the situation in the Western Conference this year, who dares to predict it.

Say the wrong thing and get slapped in the face in minutes.

Mousse himself is also very confident. At the press conference after sweeping the Eagles 4-0, he was calm and composed, talking and laughing with reporters freely.

“We are ready to continue to attack the next round, and this journey will definitely not be quiet.

But, as long as everyone works together, there is nothing we can't do. "

Mousse was in a good mood. Although he had tortured Cai in the Cavaliers before, but this time in the Heat, the feeling was really different.

Before he could exert his full strength, his opponent had already fallen.

Mousse feels that based on the Heat's current strength and state, there will definitely be no problem reaching the finals.

The Chicago Bulls are very strong, but they are very biased.

The Bulls' offense is so bad, Thibodeau doesn't understand offense at all.

In the playoffs, teams that are too biased won't make it far.

Don't talk about the Pistons at the beginning of the century. That Pistons were better offensive than this Bulls.

Mousse is so happy, with this strength, he will be sent to the finals!

Eh?

Has anyone said this before?

The next day, the last person who said that, struggled to come back at the ATT Center to make the series 3-2, but the Grizzlies still held match point.

At this point in the game, even winning is meaningless.

Because the Spurs have been exhausted by the Grizzlies.

Even if they make a comeback in the end, the Spurs have already lost their No. 1 advantage in the Western Conference.

He doesn't have an easier time than the fourth and fifth Mavericks and Warriors.

If the first and eighth teams hit this point, they have already lost.

On the other side, Warriors fans hope to see Paul create another miracle.

The winner of this game will get the match point, so the importance of today's game is self-evident.

Paul's buzzer beater in the last game was really classic, but Dirk used a 37-point performance to completely end the Warriors.

Paul forced the best of himself in the last game, but he also forced the best of Dirk.

The high-spirited Lakers swept the Nuggets as expected.

But when the high-spirited warriors meet the equally high-spirited Mavericks, the ending may not be so happy.

In Game 6, the game returned to Oracle Arena.

Paul must give it a try today to realize his wish to meet Wayne in the Western Conference Finals.

Today the Warriors double-teamed Dirk, and the whole world began to realize that something was not right with this playoff softie this year.

It's like a person who has always been honest in the company. You admit that he is capable, but you don't think he can do much.

Then, in this year's playoffs, this honest man suddenly dropped his glasses and told everyone: "I just want to beat everyone to death, or be beaten to death by everyone."

Paul fought very hard. He fell down time and time again, and physical fights were commonplace.

In just the first round, fighting hard has become the norm.

Howard also worked very hard, wearing a pair of Adidas arm guards, and used Warcraft's left and right elbows to clear the way to protect Pao'er.

Once Howard starts pumping his elbow, you know he's not a happy beast anymore, he's a serious beast.

Dirk was restricted today, and Pao'er and Howard played so hard. Paul felt that this game must be won no matter what.

But Terry and Peja told them with consecutive three-pointers: "The Silver Horn King said that you can't take away this game."

"Jason Terry scored again, his fifth consecutive three-pointer, God! Who can stop him!"

"Peja Stojakovic, three-point shot. Also! Peja has not missed a shot from beyond the three-point line today!"

Terry and Peja shot left and right, scoring three points at a time, reaching the point of lawlessness.

Paul looked at those unreasonable three-pointers and was very disappointed.

You have obviously worked so hard, you have obviously worked so hard.

No, my fate is up to me!

In the unreasonable three-point rain from Terry and Peja, Paul was still fighting back.

He fell into the audience, hit the basketball stand, and was knocked to the ground again and again by the boxing champion.

Wayne looked extremely worried, fearing that there would be another problem with the gun mount.

Let me tell you, Pao'er, I managed to maintain your gun mount so well, you can't ruin it!

That gun mount of yours is not only yours, but also my Godway's!

I fell down and stood up again and again, and fell again.

You can see Paul's unyielding defiance against fate.

It’s heart-wrenching and burning.

But all of this was cruelly cut off with a "snap" in the eighth minute of the fourth quarter.

In the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, Paul faced Kidd's defense and broke through.

As soon as he rushed out, Marion, who looked neither human nor ghost, appeared.

Marion's defense was so fast that Pao'er didn't notice it.

But at this time, he could no longer stop the car.

The ejection speed just started was too fast, now I can only choose to rush in!

Paul then rushed toward Marion, and under such circumstances, Paoer bumped into Marion's shoulder.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound of bone hitting bone could be heard in the noisy basketball court. At that moment, Paul was like a doll whose power had been cut off, and his whole body collapsed.

"Fuck!" Wayne stood up and subconsciously wanted to go up to check the situation, but when he stood up, he realized that they were now thousands of miles apart.

"Paul fell down and his forehead hit Marion's shoulder! Paul looked in great pain and couldn't stand up for a long time!"

The cheers in the Oracle Arena stopped abruptly, everyone covered their chests with their hands, and everyone's hearts were beating wildly.

Paul lay on the ground, gritting his teeth at the severe pain in his neck.

He felt that the entire arena was spinning, and he immediately knew that he must have been knocked out and suffered a concussion.

The forehead hit the shoulder, still at such a fast speed.

Paul's injury is not trivial.

"Chris, Chris!" Howard ran up to check on Paul.

Paul tried to reach out and grab Howard's forearm to stand up, but he found...

I can't control my limbs!

Dizzy, Paul was actually completely dizzy.

If it weren't for the strong will to support him, he might have lost his last consciousness.

Now, he could only lie on the ground with his eyes open, that's all.

The effect just now was almost the same as being knocked out by a boxer's punch.

"Fuck! Damn it! Idiot!" Wayne said anxiously.

Marion did not intentionally hurt Paul with this goal. It was purely an accident on the court.

This is even more annoying.

Wayne couldn't even find anyone to vent to.

Paul was still lying on the ground, motionless, except for his staring eyes.

He wanted to call Howard and ask him to pull himself up. They still have a chance, but it's only 11 points, and they can still win even if they play hard!

But he could only make a hesitant sound that people could not understand. Now he could raise his hand slightly. As soon as he raised his hand, the team doctor broke into his field of vision.

"Oh my God, stretcher, stretcher, hurry up! Fix his neck, he almost fainted, God! God knows how he survived!"

"Stretcher?" Pao'er vaguely heard what the team doctor said.

"No, I can't leave the game, I still have to play the game! We are almost winning, we are almost winning! We are only 11 points away. If we leave the game now, we will never get back on track this season!"

Paul panicked. He couldn't accept the result that he would be eliminated in the first round.

Brother Wei is still waiting for me, I can't.

The weak Paul couldn't even shout out and could only let his teammates fix him on the stretcher in an exaggerated way.

"It looks like Paul's injury is pretty serious, but hopefully he's OK. He's a real fighter, always has been."

"Fuck, no!" Pao'er looked at the ceiling, tears welling up in his eyes.

His neck still ached, but all he could feel now was the pain in his heart.

"Chris!" Howard came up and took a last look at Paul. Paul was speechless. In the end, he could only lie on the stretcher, raised his arm slightly, and gave Howard a thumbs up.

Then, just like that, last season's MVP Chris Paul, Out!

Paul was pushed down, and when he was pushed into the tunnel, but the noise around him stopped suddenly, his tears could no longer be held back.

It's over, it's all over.

Brother Wei, I'm sorry, I can't come

"No one could have imagined that the first round of the playoffs would be so brutal. There were 4 minutes left in the game and the Warriors were 11 points behind. Now, they don't have Love or Chris Paul.

They're in hell, ladies and gentlemen. "

Seeing this, Wayne turned off the TV, took a deep breath, and then looked at the sky.

Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time,...

Damn, there's sand in my eyes.

Without Paul, Howard was unable to support himself, and the entire team seemed to fall apart in an instant.

The moment Paul was carried off the field, the outcome was actually doomed.

122-98, the Mavericks slaughtered the Warriors at Oracle Arena.

The total score is 4 to 2, advancing to the Western Conference semifinals!

Paul tried his best to get on a stretcher, but still couldn't change the Mavericks' terrifying offensive.

This horror is not a metaphor.

How strong is the Mavericks' firepower today?

Terry made 9 of 10 shots from beyond the arc and Peja made 6 of 6 shots from beyond the arc.

The two substitute guards scored 53 points together. It is impossible to find another player with such firepower in the league.

Pao'er has fought to the point where he can't even speak. However, the playoffs are always about strength.

You said you are hardworking enough? Who doesn't work hard?

Today, a team fell tragically to the Mavericks.

But Wayne knew this wouldn't be the last one.
