Chapter 115 Shooting the Lakers

There’s no denying it, although Davis's speculation was based entirely on his imagination, the process of this game was exactly as he guessed...

In the third quarter, Harris, realizing that the point difference with the 76ers was growing, hurriedly adjusted his tactics.

What's going on?

Something's not right!

Why are we being pulled apart by a team of 'nobodies' like the 76ers?

Kobe's performance tonight isn't bad... is it?

Wake up!

Su Feng's one-on-one defense is well-known.

Even Boss Jordan gave Su Feng a thumbs-up after experiencing his service.

The ball can go over Su Feng's head.

But as for the hit rate, ask Big Ben if he's enjoying it.

And unfortunately, Ben Wallace once again reached the peak of his life tonight.

If he could play like this every night, then "Smart" Ben could pat himself on the chest and say, "The NBA's rebounding champion, from today on, is named Wallace!"

Although Su Feng doesn't have many assists, his understanding of the game is not bad.

As Kobe shot more and more comfortably, Su Feng had already quietly handed the unlimited iron-making license to Iverson on the 76ers' side.

An iron-scoring slave, nothing more.

In basketball, where does the joy come from without winning?

Especially in a game like this that will definitely go down in history.

It's a pity that Harris woke up, but on the court, "Madman" Van Exel started to go crazy.

After Van Exel successfully assisted several consecutive three-pointers, the 76ers' lead had reached 77 to 63 entering the fourth quarter.

Relying solely on O'Neal's two points at a time, this 14-point difference is not easy to chase.

In Su Feng's previous life, this Lakers team had a big problem, that is, when they were behind, other players didn't dare to take the blame.

Once the outside shot felt cold, then no matter how earth-shattering O'Neal was, he was just a "fathead fish."

Before Kobe grew up, this Lakers team could only be considered a regional powerhouse.

They were clearly still some way off being a championship-level team.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, during a Lakers timeout, O'Neal, seeing that they were always trailing the 76ers by about 10 points, became anxious.

He looked at the other Lakers players somewhat irritably and said, "Does no one dare to shoot except Kobe?"

Fisher, sitting in the corner of the bench, really wanted to raise his hand and shoot, but having read "The Art of Conspiracy," he knew that whoever went up to shoot now, if they missed, would be the scapegoat!

In Su Feng's previous life, Fisher had a classic game-winning shot once, but most of the time, he was hugging Kobe and O'Neal's ankles.

Unfortunately, Fisher was destined to miss out on a classic today.

With 4 minutes and 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Kobe looked up at O'Neal with the score at 94 to 83 and said, "Shaq, give me the ball, trust me once."

O'Neal, who had scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, was also a little tired at this time. He nodded and patted Kobe on the shoulder, "It's up to you, Kobe."



Timeout over, on the court, Lakers offense.

Van Exel, who was 1 for 7 from three-point range tonight, dribbled the ball past half-court and passed it to Kobe.

Kobe received the ball on the wing, took a step to the left, and then decisively pulled up for a jump shot.

Kobe's shooting technique was not yet fully developed at this time, but he raised the arc of this shot and added a fadeaway.

Swish!

94 to 86, at the Great Western Forum, as Kobe scored his 18th point of the night, the Lakers fans in the arena once again chanted Kobe's name.

Returning to defense, the Lakers defended with Jones guarding Iverson and Kobe defending Su Feng. Su Feng didn't think too much and, seeing Stakhouse with a mismatch against Van Exel, decisively passed the ball over.

It was just...

Stakhouse's name tonight could have the "House" part removed.

Clang!

Su Feng was stunned by Stakhouse's attack.

Seriously, is it that hard to beat Van Exel?

You are a No. 3 pick in '95, Jordan's junior, can you be a little more useful!

Stakhouse was extremely aggrieved. Can he be blamed for a shooting guard's bad touch?

Turning around, the Lakers still gave the ball to Kobe, and O'Neal came to the high post to screen for Kobe.

After using O'Neal's screen, Kobe raised his hand for another three-pointer.

Swish!

He made it again!

In Su Feng's previous life, although Kobe's three-point percentage in his rookie season was as high as 37.5%, that was because he didn't shoot as much as he would in the future, and the NBA three-point line was shortened in the 96/97 season.

Su Feng had defended Kobe like Westbrook all night, who would have thought that Kobe would make two three-pointers in a row?

94 to 89, the Lakers finally caught up with the damn score!

On Great Celestial Dynasty TV, Director Zhang smiled and said, "Wow, the game is good now, the two teams are only 5 points apart."

While retreating on defense, O'Neal excitedly touched Kobe's head, "Good shot, keep playing like that!"

Kobe's confidence was also getting stronger and stronger. On the 76ers' offense, he directly elbowed Su Feng's offensive route to death.

Anyway, he was going to treat Su Feng to a late-night snack after the game. In Kobe's opinion, Su Feng wouldn't mind even if he elbowed him a few more times.

The 76ers couldn't score on this attack because Iverson couldn't be accurate all night.

The Answer had already overperformed tonight. Can you believe that 8-for-6 from three-point range?

Iverson missed a mid-range jumper, and O'Neal worked hard to grab the rebound. "Everyone spread out and give my little brother a lane!"

I wonder what the scene will be like when the replay of this game is on various websites twenty years from now?

The 18-year-old Kobe at this time was very much like the future version of himself from ten years from now in Su Feng's previous life.

Kobe's eyes were full of murderous intent. Although his offensive moves were slightly immature, don't be afraid, he has O'Neal!

This was the most aggrieved game Su Feng had ever had to go around screens.

How was he supposed to go around when O'Neal was setting the screen?

Ratcliffe had no choice but to switch on defense, but unfortunately, Kobe only had the basket in his eyes at this moment.

Kobe fired again from half a step away from the three-point line!

Swish!

94 to 92!

Kobe used three consecutive three-pointers to stop the 76ers!

And this was also his 24th point of the night.

If Su Feng remembered correctly, Kobe's single-game high in his rookie season was exactly 24 points.

"Good job, Kobe!"

When he returned to the bench, O'Neal put his arm around Kobe's shoulder, and the two formed a "world-famous painting."

"Shaq, let you finish the game!" Kobe looked up at O'Neal and said.

O'Neal patted his chest, "Don't worry, next, the shark is going to sea to hunt!"

On NBC, commentator Williams jokingly said, "If we put O'Neal and Kobe's names together, it's 'OK'.

I don't think anyone will question Jerry West's choice now. Kobe is the 'future' of this Lakers team!"

It is worth mentioning that when Kobe and O'Neal returned to the bench together, Fisher was serving water and handing towels, wishing he could wave around in front of the camera a little more.

On the 76ers' bench, Su Feng and Iverson were listening to Davis's tactical arrangements for the next attack.

"Allen, you'll be the primary scoring option. Su, you cooperate with Allen, you two can play freely."

Honestly, even if Davis was a genius, he wouldn't dare to arrange anything too fancy at such a critical moment in the game.

In the NBA, handing the ball to the franchise player at the decisive moment has always been the most common tactic.

Because reducing mistakes is the most important thing.

At this time, there were still 2 minutes and 46 seconds left on the court. After the timeout, the players from both teams had sharpened their knives and were ready for the final battle.

76ers offense, Ratcliffe came to screen for Iverson.

Because Ratcliffe has a certain mid-range shot, O'Neal dared not to come out to defend.

But against the nimble Iverson, O'Neal didn't dare to switch.

Jones failed to get around Iverson's screen, and Iverson broke into the paint in one go and scored a layup, 96 to 92!

After scoring, Iverson tugged at his jersey, this was his 32nd point of the night.

"Iverson is so fast, look at this breakthrough, the Lakers players simply can't keep up with him," Director Zhang said with emotion on Great Celestial Dynasty TV.

Lakers offense, Kobe passed the ball to O'Neal in the paint, O'Neal squeezed open Ratcliffe with a light push, and faced Ben Wallace, who was helping on defense, O'Neal did not hesitate.

Although he was a coward when it came to fighting, O'Neal would not back down from anyone on the court.

Boom!

O'Neal dunked with both hands, and as expected, this wonderful dunk would be on the Top 5 Plays.

"O'Neal is too difficult to defend, tonight neither Ben Wallace nor Ratcliffe can defend him," Director Zhang commented.

The game continued, 76ers offense, this time Iverson's breakthrough was blocked.

With 8 seconds left on the shot clock, Su Feng hurriedly stepped forward to ask for the ball.

On the wing, Su Feng made a feint with the ball in one hand, and Kobe didn't dare to block him on his second jump. Su Feng hit a mid-range jump shot from a 45-degree angle on the wing, 98 to 94.

This was Su Feng's 21st point of the night. The Gold Double Guns had combined for 53 points tonight.

As the game time passed, the Lakers fans in the arena once again began to stand up to watch the game.

Nicholson, who had reordered a cup of coffee during the halftime break, held a cup of coffee in one hand and put his arm around his female companion, while the female companion he was holding had a desperate and indignant expression.

On the court, Ratcliffe was helpless. When O'Neal tried to turn around and lay it in, Ratcliffe took the initiative to foul.

However, O'Neal, noticing Ratcliffe's movement, hung on to this black, tough guy and directly made a strong shot.

Beep!

The basket counted and the whistle blew, Shaq-style three-point play!

The Lakers fans in the arena kept chanting Shaq, Shaq, while Su Feng took the opportunity to walk up to O'Neal, closed his eyes in front of him, and made a free throw motion.

O'Neal: "..."

You don't think I'll really punch you!

Ben next to him: You try punching him?

Forget it, O'Neal is a gentle giant.

O'Neal, who walked to the free throw line, seemed to be disturbed by Su Feng and really didn't make the shot.

Ben grabbed the rebound, 76ers offense.

At this time, there was 1 minute and 30 seconds left on the court.

This time Iverson used his speed to get past Jones, but unfortunately, his layup was interfered with by O'Neal, who came to help on defense.

At this moment, Iverson hated that his height wasn't really "183," otherwise, he would definitely be able to put the ball in.

O'Neal, who protected the rebound, took a deep breath, Lakers offense, this time Kobe stood up, he received the ball on the outside and broke into the paint after using O'Neal's screen.

Ben and Ratcliffe helped Kobe at the same time, but Kobe made a smart sudden stop and passed the ball to Jones, who was following up.

Jones, who could glide from the three-point line to the basket, did not miss the opportunity and dunked with one hand.

98 to 98!

The Lakers tied the score.

In the VIP stands of the Great Western Forum, Jerry West was happy.

"Kobe, you really are the 'Magic' successor that you appointed!"

Little Buss, hugging West next to him, felt that he had found his idol for the next twenty years at this moment.

Moreover, not just one!

76ers offense, after Iverson broke through several times in a row, he was a little tired, Su Feng took the gun in time, as 'the.king', when should he stand up if not at this critical moment?

Su Feng posted up Kobe on the right wing, and after feinting left and right, he turned around and shot.

Swish!

Su Feng shot down his 23rd point of the night!

100 to 98.

There were 52 seconds left in the game!

Harris didn't call a timeout, but signaled Van Exel to give the ball to Kobe.

Perhaps because of the "Madman's" crazy iron-making performance tonight, Harris didn't dare to trust him at this time.

Actually, Harris forgot that before making three consecutive three-pointers in the final moments of the fourth quarter, Kobe was also pretty iron tonight.

Kobe slowed down the pace of this ball, and only started after O'Neal's screen came up.

This time, Su Feng didn't give O'Neal a chance, and went around the screen in advance, closely following Kobe.

However, Su Feng, who had one-on-one with Kobe countless times, never expected that the sin he had created with his own hands would have to be repaid by him today.

The "Pennsylvania Magician" did not attack strongly, but with great imagination, he threw the ball over his head to O'Neal.

In the middle, O'Neal followed up with a violent dunk two steps in front of the free throw line!

This was also a wonderful shot that could make it to the Top 5 Plays!

100 to 100!

On NBC, Williams felt like he was suffocating.

What a classic!

This game not only has a story, but also a lot of wonderful scenes.

Back and forth, it's really exciting.

With 36 seconds left in the game, the 76ers didn't call a timeout. Iverson got Su Feng's hint. Ai dribbled the ball directly past half-court and launched a quick attack, trying to leave the 76ers with the last attack opportunity.

Unfortunately, Ai didn't make this shot. With 28 seconds left, the Lakers had the last attack.

Harris didn't call a timeout either, he shouted to the Lakers players on the court, "Give the ball to Kobe!"

In the arena, the Lakers fans were patiently waiting for Kobe to launch the Lakers' final attack.

Su Feng took a deep breath, lowered his center of gravity, put one hand on Kobe's waist, and used the other to maintain balance and prepare to intercept at any time.

In addition, Su Feng also observed O'Neal's movements with the corner of his eye.

With 14 seconds left in the game, Kobe started.

Su Feng noticed O'Neal, who was preparing to screen for Kobe, and went around the screen again in advance.

However, at the moment when Su Feng went around the screen, Kobe suddenly changed the direction of his dribble.

This was Kobe's best at changing direction in a small space. You must know that in Su Feng's previous life, Kobe used this move until his farewell battle...

His change of direction through the middle under the defense of two Jazz players relied on his amazing flexibility and agility.

Su Feng was faked out, and Ratcliffe's attention had to be drawn to Kobe.

O'Neal took advantage of the situation to cut to the basket, Kobe did not covet the credit and presented another classic assist.

In the restricted area, O'Neal dunked with one hand, and after landing, he kept pointing at Kobe with both hands!

The Great Western Forum completely exploded.

On the sidelines, Davis called a timeout, looking at the 5.1 seconds left in the game.

In front of the TV, both Chinese and American fans couldn't help but think of the dunking buzzer-beater that Su Feng staged in his career debut.

But would the 76ers hand this ball to Su Feng?

Davis hesitated for almost only 0.1 seconds, because Iverson felt excellent tonight. It wasn't that Davis didn't want to fulfill a good story, but Iverson's shooting today was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At the last moment, Davis replaced Smith to inbound the ball and withdrew Ben.

The 76ers arranged a pick-and-roll three-point shooting tactic, because Davis knew that the 76ers were definitely doomed to play overtime in this game.

This Lakers team has a much deeper lineup than the 76ers.

On the Lakers' side, Harris also used Scott to withdraw Van Exel, increasing the height to prevent the 76ers from launching the last attack.

On the court, while the players from both teams were fighting for position, Kobe directly hugged Su Feng, his expression seemed to be telling Su Feng, "Give up, I won't make a mistake and give you a chance."

Su Feng was helpless, but fortunately, this attack was to find Iverson...

Eh, wait, wait, inbound the ball quickly, Kenny!

The 76ers almost didn't get this ball in. At the critical moment, Su Feng took advantage of the referee's attention being all on Iverson and gently pushed Kobe.

Su Feng, who had opened the distance with Kobe, hurriedly raised his hand to signal Smith.

After seeing Su Feng's rooster head clearly, Smith did not dare to neglect and threw the ball directly into Su Feng's hands.

The timer started counting down!

Outside, O'Neal, who was closest to Su Feng, pounced on Su Feng with his exaggerated steps.

Su Feng was helpless and quickly dribbled the ball back half a step.

At this time, there was not much time left for the 76ers.

At this time, as "the.king", should he learn from Jordan in '97 and pass the ball to Kerr, or?

Soon, Su Feng gave his answer.

Although this ball came into his hands by chance, now that he was here, how could he throw the blame to his teammates?

Su Feng didn't think too much, looked at the space between himself and O'Neal, and decisively shot from a position that was a long way from the three-point line!

It's over...

Su Feng, who shot from the side, glanced at the trajectory after shooting, and was a little desperate...

Unfortunately, Su Feng closed his eyes.

Actually, he forgot.

For this kind of side three-pointer, sometimes, it doesn't really matter if it's a little off.

Let the basketball fly for a while!

Bang, swish!

When Su Feng was about to open his eyes to apologize to his teammates, Iverson had already rushed into his arms.

"Tell me, tell me loudly, are you the king of buzzer-beaters?"

Su Feng: "..."

On NBC, after a long silence, Williams's voice spread throughout North America.

"Su, shot Shaq O'Neal!"

A few seconds later, Williams revised his wording.

"Su, shot the Los Angeles Lakers!"
