The Lakers and Warriors both made slight adjustments to their lineups in the final quarter.

For the Warriors, Ray Allen and Terry replaced Klay and Curry respectively.

As for the Lakers, Bogdanović and Livingston replaced Green and Rondo.

At the Staples Center, the Warriors had the first possession of the final quarter.

Yao Ming, stationed at the free-throw line to orchestrate the offense, spotted Ray Allen, who had circled to the top of the arc from the left corner with a screen.

The Warriors executed their tactics brilliantly on this possession.

On the court, as Yao Ming leveraged his advantage to get into the attacking zone, the other Warriors players didn't just stand around; instead, they used small-scale coordination to create an opening for Ray Allen.

On the Warriors' bench, watching the beautiful arc of Ray Allen's shot after he caught the ball, Van Gundy, feeling certain of a score, had even preemptively made the three-point gesture.

However...

To the dismay and near heart-stopping horror of the Warriors fans and Van Gundy...

Ray Allen's three-pointer wobbled around the rim twice before bouncing out!

Just asking...

Is this the legendary "system game"?

Under the basket, the quick-witted Su Feng grabbed his 10th rebound of the game.

On the right wing, Kobe sprinted ahead.

Su Feng, with the ball in hand, didn't dare to delay and immediately threw a long pass to Kobe.

Ray Allen, having just missed a three-pointer for the Warriors, retreated quickly.

Plus, the size of people's hands varies.

So, in the instant Kobe caught and adjusted the ball, Ray Allen had already managed to block his path forward.

On the sideline, after letting out a long sigh, Van Gundy, quickly composed, hastily called to the other Warriors players, signaling everyone not to dwell on the previous play.

Van Gundy knew that Su Feng and Kobe couldn't stay hot forever.

Therefore, with the offense failing, patient defense was the Warriors' top priority.

But...

Kobe, who had found his touch in the latter half of the third quarter, suddenly pulled up for a three-pointer right in front of Ray Allen, a shot that defied all logic.

Kobe's reason for choosing to take a contested three-pointer was simple.

Because Ray Allen defended so well that he had no chance to drive, so as not to let down his teammates' trust, Kobe resolutely chose to take the shot himself.

Beside him, as Kobe released the ball, Su Feng, who had just crossed half-court, was dumbfounded!

No cap.

Anyone normal wouldn't have taken that shot.

But...

If Kobe were normal...

How could he lead the NBA's all-time missed shot list with 14,481 misses in Su Feng's memory?

Reasoning with Kobe?

Ha!

It was better to be ready to grab the rebound when he got hot-headed.

However...

On the court, watching the crooked and high arc of Kobe's shot, for a moment, not only the Lakers players preparing to rush for the offensive rebound...

Even LeBron, who had secured his position in advance, didn't know where the ball would bounce.

Bang...

Swish!

And perhaps to avoid the players on both teams getting tangled up...

After a long flight...

The ball miraculously hit the backboard and went in!

Van Gundy: "..."

Warriors players: "..."

Good heavens!

Isn't this a freaking "system game"?

On the sideline, although he wanted to remain calm...

But after this back-and-forth exchange, which was equivalent to the Lakers going on a 6-0 run...

At this moment, Van Gundy felt a pang in his chest as if he had been hit with a heavy hammer.

On the court, Su Feng, who originally wanted to give Kobe a sliding tackle, immediately changed his tune, saying, "Is this the King of Los Angeles... Kobe Bryant?

My apologies!"

Hearing this, Kobe, after smugly raising the corners of his mouth, shrugged at Su Feng and said, "Just a lucky shot."

"How can you call that a lucky shot?

That's clearly your skill!" Su Feng hastily "complimented."

"Alright, since you put it that way...

Then I'll reluctantly accept your praise." Kobe said to Su Feng, patting him on the shoulder.

Su Feng: "..."

Great!

Ordinary sarcasm clearly couldn't break Kobe's defense anymore.

He could even turn your sarcasm back on you.

On the court, it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

Little Yao turned in the low post on the left side and scored with a hook shot.

93 to 102.

Back on the other end, the Lakers ran the triangle offense with a 1-2-2 formation.

Under Butler's frantic interference, Su Feng failed to control the strength of his shot after the turnaround.

Clang!

The ball bounced off the back of the rim.

In the restricted area, Little Yao had already boxed out Gasol, ready to happily accept the defensive rebound.

However, in the nick of time...

Just as the ball was about to fall, a black shadow suddenly flashed past Yao Ming's eyes.

Bang, swish!

In the Warriors' paint, Kobe scored on a put-back dunk.

93 to 104.

On the court, looking at Kobe who had suddenly appeared, Little Yao, in addition to being dumbfounded, rarely lost his temper and asked, "Who was responsible for boxing out Kobe just now?"

Hearing this, Ray Allen raised his other hand while rubbing his chest.

As Kobe's old rival, Ray Allen had actually blocked Kobe's path to the rebound at the first moment.

But alas...

Kobe had used the strongest of the Thirty-Six Stratagems at the last moment:

Elbowing was the best strategy!

No choice.

Because Ray Allen had been planning his comeback since he was forced to retire.

So, in order to maintain his condition and extend his career, he had even lost some weight during his retirement.

Therefore, facing Kobe's brute force...

Even though Ray Allen had preemptively secured his position, he couldn't stop Kobe's elbow.

Of course.

The main reason why Kobe was able to grab the offensive rebound before Little Yao was because his understanding of Su Feng was far above Little Yao's.

Just now, after noticing a slight change in Su Feng's shooting motion...

Kobe rushed to the far side without thinking.

Because according to his understanding of Su Feng, when the turnaround wasn't smooth, Su Feng would often subconsciously increase the arc and the force of his shot to ensure that his subsequent shooting action could be completed smoothly.

And at this time...

Since most missed shots would fall on the far side.

Therefore, after elbowing Ray Allen away, Kobe was able to rely on his prediction of Su Feng's shot to snatch the rebound from Yao Ming.

"Wow! Kobe is really amazing today!

After the start of the fourth quarter, he has scored 5 consecutive points for the Lakers!" Zhang指导 commented on CCTV.

To be fair, Kobe was indeed amazing.

Although it was impossible to overpraise Kobe in this Western Conference Finals...

But who still remembers that...

Before the start of this Western Conference Finals, the Kobe haters once believed that this Lakers team didn't need Kobe?

On the court, putting away his playful smile, after giving Su Feng a high-five, Kobe said with a serious expression: "You must find your touch before my energy runs out.

Because only you can decide whether we can get the match point in this game!"

In the first two rounds of the playoffs.

The reason why Kobe remained silent was also because he knew that this year's Western Conference Finals would be an unprecedented test for this Lakers team?

In fact.

Kobe, who would be 35 years old in more than two months, knew better than anyone...

That this Lakers team could only survive in this Western Conference Finals by clinging to Su Feng's thigh.

Therefore, burning all his energy.

Scoring all the shots he could score.

Was the only help he could give Su Feng in Kobe's eyes before Su Feng activated his god mode.

If you are destined to become a god.

Then what's wrong with me letting you step on my shoulders?

At Staples Center, Kobe, who had been silently hoping that Su Feng could find his "on" switch since the second half of the third quarter, didn't have to wait too long this night.

On the court, Yao Ming had just scored two points for the Warriors.

Back on the other end, after faking out Jimmy Butler, Su Feng hit a three-pointer for the Lakers from the outside!

Moreover...

Because the referee determined that Butler had invaded Su Feng's cylinder when he jumped up later...

So, with a whistle...

This shot...

Was an "and-one"!

On the sideline, Van Gundy, whose heart nearly stopped again, had no choice but to call a timeout at the technical table.

But after the timeout...

The Warriors still couldn't fill the big hole that was preventing them from winning.

Because the Warriors were scoring.

Back on the other end, the Lakers were also scoring.

Admittedly.

Tonight, the Lakers were a little luckier than the Warriors in grasping some of the opportunities.

But you can't deny that...

In this series, every Lakers player has perfectly played the role of a supporting character.

Including Kobe.

From beginning to end.

In this series, the Lakers players have been strictly implementing coach Lu's strategic policy set before the start of the series: "Try everything possible to drag the game into the critical moment, and then let Su Feng decide the outcome of the game in the critical moment."

Unlike that high-spirited Philadelphia 76ers.

Unlike that talented Toronto Raptors.

Unlike that Miami Heat team that once played out the NBA's historical team ceiling.

Although Su Feng had also received a lot of feedback from his teammates in the past games.

But only this year's Western Conference Finals.

In the strict sense, he has received the most perfect output environment.

Four-protect-one.

A real four-protect-one.

As the coach who is best at clinging to the thighs in the current league.

In coach Lu's opinion...

Since the Lakers decided to play four-protect-one from the very beginning...

Then in terms of protecting Su Feng's development...

The Lakers players must do something that no one has ever done before.

And there is no doubt that...

As long as your "one" is strong enough.

Then the four-protect-one tactic will have unlimited possibilities on the basketball court.

Because at the critical moment, no matter how strong your opponent is in terms of lineup.

They can only have one person to complete the final goal!

And this...

Is also the essence of basketball.

If the regular season is the stage for everyone to play.

The playoffs are the stage for superstars.

Then in this kind of epic contest.

It is a confrontation between gods and gods.

Swish!

An ordinary pull-up jumper.

Swish!

An ordinary turnaround fadeaway jumper!

Swish!

A beautiful jump shot after a shoulder-shaking feint.

Swish!

A forced shot before the Warriors' double-team arrives.

Staples.

When God put on the number 23 jersey in the final quarter.

In front of the TV, at this moment, the Warriors fans can be said to have fully felt the despair that the Celtics fans and Mavericks fans had experienced in the past.

Beep!

On the court, as the final timer of this "Tianwang Mountain Battle" officially went to zero...

The final score of the Warriors' and Lakers' fifth game of the Western Conference Finals was also fixed at 123 to 132.

Now, the score is 3 to 2.

In the case of not being favored before the game, the Lakers have already won the match point of this Western Conference Finals!

On TNT, at the moment when the game ended, Stackhouse said with emotion: "I don't think I need to overemphasize it, everyone has seen Su's dominance in this series.

But I still want to say...

This series, up to now...

Is a victory for every Lakers player!"

Comparing family wealth.

The Lakers are naturally not the opponents of this Warriors team.

After the first five games of this Western Conference Finals, people's perception of this Lakers team has quietly changed.

Old and strong, Billups, who has repeatedly relied on sudden cold arrows to score key goals for the Lakers in the game.

Limited burst time, but every shot will make people feel very relieved "Sai Jordan" Livingston.

Bogdanović, who has a weird rhythm and can always play fast in the game.

Green, who is both loved and hated, has rained down three points and also hit a series of irons.

Stephenson, who is always messed up by James in the game, and has to offer a breath-defense Dafa.

Rondo, who never cares about playing time and is diligent and dedicated for victory.

Gasol, who has been beaten all the time, has been a background board countless times in the game, but has never complained.

Seth Curry, who can always create surprises every time he plays.

Stupid and honest, but always able to cut down a triple-double with Sacre on the sidelines, Little Jordan and Whiteside.

Still needs to be tempered, but has already shown his edge Middleton.

Of course...

There are also the Raul Melian old men who will never let people down.

There is no doubt.

If you ask every Lakers fan in the summer of 2013 what is the Lakers.

Then the above text must be the answer they give you.

According to the schedule.

The sixth battle between the Lakers and the Warriors will be moved to Oakland.

And after getting the match point...

Su Feng and his teammates were not overwhelmed by the victory.

Because past history has proven countless times...

In a seven-game four-win series, only when you have confirmed that your opponent has been completely killed by you, you are eligible to celebrate the victory.

"The sixth battle...they won't turn off the air conditioner, will they?" After the G5 game, Kobe asked, looking at Su Feng.

And hearing this, after smiling, Su Feng said: "Even if they turn off the air conditioner, so what?

This year, in this series, so far, my physical strength is still good!"

Kobe laughed and said, "Then whose credit is this?"

Su Feng spread his hands and said, "Of course, it's the credit of the great Kobe Bryant and all the Lakers players."

Kobe nodded in satisfaction and said, "After this series is over, you have to make me a good meal."

Su Feng smiled and said, "That's a must!"

Kobe continued: "Of course, after we win!"

Su Feng nodded and said: "Otherwise? To tell you the truth, from the beginning, I never thought we would lose, because I am the most loser in this league!"
