The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 158 Tang Tian and Kobe (Part 1) (4/5!)

The Rockets' offense, Billups continued to control the field, this time Battier missed a three-pointer, and the rebound was accepted by the Lakers.

The cheers at the scene were even louder, which meant to rise up.

Fisher took control of the ball to the frontcourt, and Kobe came out to catch the ball. This time he didn't get rid of Battier, and directly shot a three-pointer from the outside.

"Shua!"

The ball was shot with confidence, but it also scored!

The Lakers chased the score to 1 point!

And Kobe's score has reached 49 points!

Tang Tian called a timeout.

Kobe can still have such explosive scoring power at this time, there is really no one else.

"Sean, limit Kobe's catch, Paul, come directly to double-team." Tang Tian's tactical arrangement was very straightforward.

After the timeout, the Rockets came up and played a supporting ball. Yao Ming assisted McGrady and scored a layup. The MM combination scored 2 points to stabilize the situation.

Looking back, Kobe ran two laps without a chance to catch the ball, and leaned directly against Battier to drop down.

At this time, the Lakers didn't play any tactics anymore. Fisher reached out to signal to pull away, and then directly handed in the ball.

Kobe holds the ball.

"Kobe! Kobe!"

The scene shouted directly.

But at this moment, Millsap directly let Odom come over to help defend.

Kobe was double-teamed as soon as he started playing.

Odom ran to the other side beyond the three-point line and held his hands high.

Bryant took one look and didn't pass the ball.

Hit, turn around, hit, turn around and lean back.

Kobe made a strong shot against the defense of the two.

"boom!"

The ball was too difficult, the ball hit the right side of the basket and bounced out, the rebound was accepted by Yao Ming.

Bryant's scoring finally broke.

Tang Tian let out a long breath at this moment.

He knows Kobe too well, and the latter becomes more paranoid when it is critical. This is the secret of Kobe's success, and it is also the biggest shortcoming.

After Yao Ming received the rebound, the Rockets pushed to the frontcourt, and Billups directly let Yao Ming play Gasol in the low post.

The Lakers double-teamed directly, Yao Ming gave Millsap a point, and the latter easily dunked with one hand.

After coming and going, the Rockets opened the score to 5 points again.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe was still asking for the ball in the low post, and the Rockets were still double-teaming, but Kobe's shot still missed.

Odom rushed to grab the offensive rebound, and the tip was also blocked by Yao Ming, and Millsap got the rebound.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Kobe shook his head and walked back.

At this time, there was less than 1 minute left before the end of the game. Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt in a hurry and began to press the time.

When the shot clock was up to 10 seconds, he called Yao Ming to play a pick-and-roll, drove directly to the basket, squeezed away Gasol and scored a layup.

The point difference is 7 points.

The Lakers are really gone now.

Back in the frontcourt, Kobe scored another goal against a double team, but it was of no avail.

Billups played against the clock for 24 seconds, and finally scored an inside hook for Yao Ming.

The Rockets already have the victory in their pocket.

Kobe Bryant of the Lakers missed a three-pointer in the end. Yao Ming took the rebound and gave it to McGrady. McGrady stopped playing and dribbled the ball on the spot after halftime.

"beep~"

The long whistle sounded, and McGrady threw the ball high into the air.

113 to 106, the Rockets successfully won the sixth game, eliminated the Lakers with a total score of 4 to 2, and reached the finals for the second consecutive year.

The members of the Rockets rushed to the court frantically, shouting excitedly.

The Lakers fans watched the Rockets players celebrating on the field, and refused to leave for a long time.

Kobe picked up the dropped basketball at this time, crossed his hands and held it in his arms, bowed his head and did not lift it for a long time.

In the first three consecutive championships, the OK team fell apart because of conflicts. How much he wanted to prove that he could win the championship by himself. In the past four years, he trained himself crazily and scored crazily, but now he is only one step away from the championship.

One step, close at hand, but far away.

Gasol went over and patted Kobe on the shoulder at this time, and when the latter raised his head, he realized that the latter's eye sockets were red.

The main camera at the scene happened to capture this scene, which was directly projected onto the large LED screen.

When the fans saw that sad face, many of them couldn't hold back their tears.

"Kobe! Kobe!"

I don't know who to start with, but despite the team losing, Kobe scored 51 points, a new playoff high, and the man gave it his all, and they started cheering for him.

Listening to the cheers at the scene, the Rockets players temporarily stopped celebrating.

Tang Tian was quite moved after seeing this scene, and reached out to applaud Kobe.

The Rockets also applauded Kobe.

Kobe felt the respect of the audience, kept saying thank you, and bowed to the audience with tears in his eyes.

The cheers at the scene were even louder.

This kind of cheering lasted for nearly five minutes, and it didn't end until Kobe left the field.

At the press conference after the game, Tang Tian brought Yao Mai and Billups to attend.

The promotion made the atmosphere at the press conference very relaxed.

Tang Tian praised the Big Three one by one.

McGrady scored a team-high 30 points in this game, and his recovery is the key to the Rockets' victory.

"Actually, T-mac played very well in the playoffs this year. If you look at the records, he averaged nearly 30 points per game."

To Yao Ming, Tang Tian naturally didn't need to say much, and even made a joke.

"Yao got 12 rebounds and 8 assists, but damn he only scored 18 points, gotta check, he's the MVP of the regular season this year."

This kind of ridicule also attracted a burst of laughter from the reporters below.

"Chauncey is the player I trust most. We all saw the Lakers set off a counterattack climax at the last moment, but Chauncey controlled the situation. I was lucky to be able to coach him."

"Coach, I am also very lucky to play under you." Billups responded with a smile.

Tang Tian smiled and spread his hands.

"In short, this is a great team." Tang Tian finally concluded.

"Do you have anything to say to your eliminated rival Lakers?" At the end of the press conference, the reporter asked a digression.

"They are the best opponents. If Bynum can play, this series will become more intense, but if I have to say anything, I would probably say that they are relieved. Although the Celtics are very strong, we have a strong team. We will bring the championship back to the West." Tang Tian made a joke at the end, and took the opportunity to show the reporters the Rockets' confidence in winning the championship.

After finishing the press conference, Tang Tian accepted an interview with the Houston reporter alone, and then walked along the player tunnel to go back to the Rockets locker room.

As he was walking forward, he heard a lot of cameras taking pictures, walked to the side, and then found out that it was the press conference of the Lakers.

The Staples Center is huge, but the main aisle extends in all directions. Although there is a distance, it is not surprising to see the Lakers press conference.

It may be that the loss made the team take some time to sort out their thoughts. At this time, the press conference had just started.
