Chapter 780 Say no to overtime!

Chapter 780 780. Reject overtime!

Come back from the break, Maurice Cheeks sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Stevenson, Outlaws, Millsap, and Mourning.

Morris Cheeks has a bold play adjustment idea, but not now, that requires changes in the entire system.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the two teams started the battle of spear and shield!

In the beginning, the Lakers’ Princeton play style blasted a wave of 9-3, overtaking the Trail Blazers by 88-86 by two points. A counterattack layup was made, and the Trail Blazers regained the lead.

The two teams entered a long tug-of-war, the Lakers desperately played offense, and the Trail Blazers desperately defended.

In the situation, you come and go, and the fight is inextricable.

The players are under great pressure, but they all work hard and play with great passion.

This is because the score is visible, chasing after each other and leading alternately.

But in terms of coaching, Maurice Cheeks is much more relaxed than Zen Master.

Maurice Cheeks learned the fun of Larry Brown and Popovich. When he was slamming defense, he didn’t need to do too much. Occasionally he thought of a good tactic and called a timeout to play a role. Great help to the players.

Knocking on Princeton’s Zen master, the CPU is almost dry and smoking!

When the game reached 10 minutes and 16 seconds in the fourth quarter, Kobe broke through and scored a three-pointer on Deron’s wing.

The two teams have played in this quarter so far, and the score in the single quarter is 22 to 17. The Lakers beat the Trail Blazers by 5 points in a single quarter! Overtake the Trail Blazers by 1 point 101 to 100.

But 10 seconds later, Ray Allen responded with a three-pointer, and the Trail Blazers regained a two-point lead 103 to 101.

It’s the Lakers offense again. The current lineup of the Blazers on the field: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, outlaws, Kwame Brown, McDyess; Lakers lineup: Deron, Kobe, Maurice Evan Adams, Odom, Wang Zhizhi.

At the last moment, the Trail Blazers’ lineup still returned to the technical flow of offense and defense.

The Lakers insist on playing offense.

At the critical moment, Kobe did not have stage fright or lose the chain. The singles outlaw lunatic made a long two-pointer. At 10 minutes and 44 seconds, the two teams tied at 103!

It was the Trail Blazers’ turn to attack. Liu Xiu suddenly grabbed the ball from close range and made a layup.

Kobe scored 40 points in a single game and helped the Lakers tie the score again!

It was the Blazers attack again, Liu Xiu received the serve, and there were 41 seconds left in the game, the ‘Kobe time’ was not played in this quarter, the score was tied, and Maimang didn’t trigger it, but at this moment he was completely unafraid, and walked quickly Push forward, get into attack mode, and feel confident.

With 10 seconds left on the offensive clock, McDyess pulled out, and Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to attack. Kobe and Odom defended quite hard, but Liu Xiu still found a defensive gap and took the initiative to lean on Odom. Turn around and rush inside!

Odom knew that Liu Xiu had this trick, but knowing it didn’t mean he could get used to it. When it came time to react instinctively, he still couldn’t guard against it!

Moreover, Kobe, who was catching up around the pile, was blocked by Odom!

Liu Xiu entered the basket, and Wang Zhizhi shrank back in time… “哐”… Liu Xiu smashed the ball into the basket through Wang Zhizhi, 107 to 105, and the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by two points!

At the same time, Liu Xiu surpassed Kobe in scoring in this quarter, reaching 11 points, and his scoring in this game increased to 43 points!

The fans cheered wildly with excitement!

There are 24 seconds left in the clock, just one full offensive round left.

Zen master did not call a timeout. At present, Kobe is facing Liu Xiu and Ray Allen one-on-one, and he is in good shape. His call for a timeout is actually affecting Kobe’s state.

Deron advances to the frontcourt, spends time first, waits until 11 seconds left in the attack time, and signals Kobe to catch the ball.

Facing the defense of the outlaws, Kobe chose to come to the right side of the free throw line and lean against the outlaws to hit a close-range attack.

Attacking the basket is the most guaranteed choice.

But the moment he received a pass from Deron, Kobe was in a daze—is he going to play overtime with the warden again?

The moment this idea came up, Kobe seemed to feel that uncontrollable physiological reaction was coming again…

Kobe’s state at this moment, commonly known as – distracted!

But the body was still moving instinctively, the high position was stuck by the hit, Kobe turned around and attacked… just turned around with the ball, and was about to speed up the sprint with the ball again, Kobe missed the shot!

Liu Xiu quietly shrunk and completed the steal the moment Kobe turned around!

Kobe woke up suddenly, stretched out his hand to pull, but failed to pull anyone, Liu Xiu took out the ball and hit it straight, got up and rushed!

The fans are very confident in the defense of the outlaw fanatics, but the opponent is Kobe, this confidence is high, but not much, the fans just subconsciously watched Kobe’s last attack with bated breath.

Unexpectedly, the warden steals it! The fans were instantly detonated!

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Liu Xiu rushed all the way to the opposite side, while Kobe and Deron were chasing after each other!

Switched to Kobe with the most physical strength, Liu Xiu held the ball and went down quickly. Kobe might catch up with better explosive acceleration, but at this time, he chased with all his strength, but the distance was widened by Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu rushed to the frontcourt and jumped high, smashing the ball into the basket amidst the screams and cheers of the fans!

109 to 105, with 4 seconds left, the Trail Blazers took a 4-point lead!

…

The Zen master called a timeout. Although he was not reconciled, he also knew that 4 seconds and 4 minutes was unlikely, but he had to try. Miracles are impossible. He happened to have a miracle machine in his hand. , anyway, there is no timeout left for the next game.

But unfortunately, after the timeout came back, after the ball was sent out, the ball failed to reach Kobe’s hands. Not to mention, Delong’s three-pointer against Liu Xiuqiang was slapped head-on by Liu Xiu!

This slap slapped the ball across the middle circle, and when it landed, Deron shrank his body, frightened everyone, fearing that if the ball was slapped on him by the warden…

When the ball hit the floor, the final whistle sounded.

Kobe made 14 of 27 shots tonight, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 8 of 11 free throws. He scored 40 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in a single game. Deron scored 20 points and 7 assists.

Deron’s progress is so fast! There are many shooting opportunities beside Kobe, and he has one of the best thighs in organizing offense. He and Kobe combined to score 60+10 tonight, which can be called a super backcourt.

But Liu Xiu made 16 of 33 shots tonight, including 3 of 9 three-pointers and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 45 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in a single game. Ray Allen scored 25 points and 3 assists. Renhe scored 70 points and 9 assists!
