Chapter 101: The most legendary playoff star showdown! The strength of the strongest 21-year-old pla
Kobe's top shot was flat, casting a shadow over the Nuggets' playoff journey.
Originally entering the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, all Denver fans were looking forward to the team's success in the playoffs.
As a result, we encountered a tough situation in the first game of the first round.
Nike was also crazy happy. This wave of assists from Kobe to James was as timely as the live broadcast of the female Buddha in the middle of the night!
If someone is No. 1 in the Western Conference, they will lose to No. 8 in the Western Conference in the first game.
Do you think people still think he is MVP? The best player at 21 years old?
It's a taboo for the Western Conference's No. 1 team to overturn in the playoffs. God knows how unfriendly public opinion will be to Ryan.
The volute is indeed from Nike, so loyal!
After a few years, Ajan grew up, and Kobe once again dominated the Western Conference. The gimmick of 23VS8 can immediately make the hype fly, and Nike will dominate the league again!
The eighth in the Western Conference forced the first in the Western Conference into overtime. There is no doubt that the momentum now lies with the Lakers.
Most fans believe that the Lakers will win the game in one go.
Daddario looked at Ryan on the bench and bit his lip.
He looks very angry? As a qualified prospective girlfriend, how can you help him get rid of his anger?
That's right, Daddario was watching the game again today.
Don't ask why she is so idle, ask why she is not popular yet.
It is precisely because Daddario follows Ryan around Denver every day that the rumor version has been updated to the point that "the two have given birth to a child."
Daddario's operation was a complete success. Even if he didn't become Ryan's girlfriend in the end, at least he was once a rumored girlfriend!
Skotishvili called to express strong condemnation of Lane's behavior and hoped to obtain Theron's number to comfort the injured goddess for Lane.
This humanitarian proposal was vetoed by Lane.
After all, the bright beacon country of human civilization can veto the Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire and humanitarian relief proposals in Gaza with one vote. It is normal for Ryan not to let others get close to his ex-girlfriend.
Seeing that Ryan was very angry, Daddario himself felt quite aggrieved.
Obviously Ryan's alley-oop hit just now was so explosive, but in the last 6 seconds, the victory was forcibly snatched away by Kobe.
There is a sense of frustration that the prey has arrived at the entrance of the cave, but then runs away after just a moment.
Daddario understands this feeling very well!
Not just Daddario, but all Denver fans and Chinese fans in front of the TV share this frustration.
If you want to say that the Nuggets' defense missed someone at the last moment, there is nothing they can do about being tied.
But the key is that Ryan and Kirilenko almost inserted their fingers into Kobe's mouth just now!
Just like that, Lakers No. 8 was able to score a goal calmly and snatch the victory away from the Nuggets.
It makes me so angry!
We were obviously very close to victory just now, but now we are being dragged into overtime.
There is really no guarantee of victory.
Kobe scored 40 points in a single game today and hit various overhead shots in the fourth quarter. There is no doubt that Black Mamba has gone crazy today.
According to past experience, when Kobe is completely crazy, his magical performance will not be interrupted unless the game is over.
This bloodthirsty snake is ruthless and will not let go until it has completely killed its opponent.
Unlike McGrady, who scored 52 points in the first three quarters and ended up 1 for 6 in the fourth quarter.
Expect Kobe to pull his hips by himself? This is simply impossible.
So in the next overtime, no one knows what else Kobe can do!
If we still lose in the end, then Denver fans may not be able to sleep tonight, and Chinese fans may not be able to eat at noon!
No one wants to see a result like this happen when a victory is snatched away abruptly, but Kobe is in really good shape today.
Once he scores soaring this season, he can really ignore all defenses.
All Nuggets fans are prepared for the worst
In a basketball game, the time between the end of regular time and the beginning of overtime is very short.
So after just two breaths, Ryan stood up again and walked to the court.
As soon as Ryan walked onto the court, he saw Kobe also eager to start fighting.
Neither of them spoke. They both knew that the next five minutes would be a brutal life-and-death fight.
After the kickoff, Kwame Brown fought for the ball first over Weber, who could no longer jump.
The Lakers' first offense had no complicated strategy, and the triangle offense had long since disappeared.
They just give the ball to Kobe and watch Kobe perform.
Faced with Ryan's entanglement, Kobe chose to turn his back directly.
After leaning back twice, Kobe suddenly moved his shoulders and wanted to turn over!
Ryan thought Kobe was going to turn over and shoot, so he raised his center of gravity slightly and prepared to block the shot.
But even this slight shift in the center of gravity was caught by Kobe.
Kobe took the opportunity to turn his back and break through. With a squeeze and acceleration, he passed by Ryan.
During this period, Kobe found a perfect balance between speed and confrontation.
In terms of personal ability alone, this period can indeed be regarded as Kobe's peak period!
After breaking through Ryan, Kobe walked to the basket. But countless arms immediately hung above Kobe's head, covering the basket.
The Nuggets' defense is to strangle Kobe. Even though Odom, Walton and others performed well today, Bird still piled defensive resources on Kobe.
The attacks from other Lakers players will only cause pain to the Nuggets, but they will not be fatal.
Kobe was different, he really came to kill the game!
Kobe was surrounded by people under the basket. At this time, if it was Ryan, he would probably choose to find an open teammate. If he were a little emperor, he would probably take two more steps to confuse his opponent.
But Kobe chose the most difficult style of play.
He dribbled the ball around half a circle in the three-second zone while being surrounded by many people. Finally, he suddenly took off with his back to the basket, pulled the lever in the air to avoid being blocked by several arms, and pulled the lever with his back to the basket to score a layup!
As soon as overtime came, Kobe scored an extremely outrageous goal!
42 points in a single game!
Bird curled his lips. Although he knew in his heart that it was still far worse, he really felt like watching the Chicago Tyrants play!
The scary thing about Jordan is that without opportunities and tactics, he can still rely on his personal ability to solve the game.
In Game 4 of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls were able to defeat the Knicks basically by relying on Jordan to overcome the New Yorkers' iron-blooded defense in one round after another. In the end, the Bulls scored 105 points, and Jordan scored 54 points!
Isn't Kobe trying to recreate a similar game?
The game continued, this time it was the Nuggets' offense.
Seeing that Kobe was defending him, Ryan gave up his plan to attack with the ball and instead ran without the ball.
Kobe is different from Hamilton and Prince. If you dare to dribble in front of him, he is really capable of making you doubt your life.
After continuous running, Ryan finally cut along the baseline.
At the same time, after Webb attracted Kwame Brown's attention from the mid-range, he used a no-look pass and gave the ball to Ryan who cut in at the right time.
Ryan received the basketball, and Kobe chased him. Odom rushed over to help block the ball.
It was unrealistic to directly force the ball, so Ryan took advantage of the situation and passed Odom to the basket.
But at this time, Ryan under the basket, like Kobe just now, was already surrounded.
And because it was cutting from the baseline, Ryan ran from the right side of the basket to the left side, with his back to the basket, and could not take a direct shot at all.
With no chance to score at all, Ryan suddenly stopped with both feet, jumped under the basket, and then turned around 180 degrees for a dunk! With your back to the basket? It doesn't matter, I turned around in the air and faced the basket!
Because the dunk was so sudden, neither Kwame Brown nor Odom reacted.
Kobe wanted to stop it, but he knew that if he jumped up to block the shot now, he would most likely give Ryan a 2+1, so he gave up the idea of forcing the block.
So, surrounded by the Lakers' basket, Ryan jumped on the spot and turned 180° for a dunk, successfully finishing in an extremely simple and crude but highly entertaining way!
The two sides are tied again!
The first two rounds of overtime have already made the fans' blood boil.
The way Kobe and Ryan ended the offense also formed a sharp contrast.
Ryan, one of the physically scariest guys in NBA history, faced off against the most terrifying kaleidoscope of offensive skills in the NBA since the 21st century!
Everyone also knew at this time that these five minutes of overtime would most likely turn into a one-on-one duel!
This is not only a battle of victory and defeat, but also a battle of morale!
It's a star showdown like the explosive Wilkins VS the superb Bird in 1988!
The playoffs are the stage for the stars to show off, and it is the time for the stars to prove their quality!
Sure enough, Kobe still failed to pass the ball on the next attack, and drifted back under Ryan's defense and hit the ball.
One round later, Ryan passed the ball-free screen to the top of the arc to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc without showing any signs of weakness.
Ryan encountered a tough opponent in the first round, and Kobe also encountered a tough opponent this time!
It can be seen that Ryan was not discouraged by the draw just now.
His performance on both offense and defense is as good as in regular time!
The two faced each other tit for tat. Kobe broke through the pull bar for a layup, and Ryan went around the screen to make a mid-range shot.
Kobe turned his back and Ryan cut in for a dunk.
The game scene directly changed to 2 people playing 8 people!
At least the Nuggets players still have a sense of participation. After all, they have to feed Ryan a ball from time to time.
The Lakers players really just stood and watched, so only Odom had the right to dribble past half court.
This ultimate star showdown gave Denver fans a glimpse of what it's like to steal the sun. It was exciting, thrilling and scary at the same time!
It’s cool because the confrontation between Kobe and Ryan is really exciting and highly enjoyable to watch.
But I am afraid because the scores have been climbing up and cannot be separated at all. It feels like I can win or lose at any time.
Moreover, the current state of Kobe and Ryan, in terms of the concept of "Pacific Rim" in the future, is enough to achieve a spiritual link to drive the robot.
The two of them were in perfect sync today!
When Ryan scored, Kobe also scored.
Ryan strikes, and just when Lakers fans think they can finally turn the situation around, Kobe immediately follows suit!
Director Zhang was delighted: "Kobe and Ryan have a tacit understanding like a husband and wife!"
Anthony: Bah!
Throughout the overtime, other players from both teams failed to score.
All the points in overtime came from Kobe and Ryan!
In the final 43 seconds, Kobe scored 9 points and Ryan scored 10 points.
The Nuggets lead 108 to 107!
Kobe's main reason is that no one can pass the ball. During the timeout, Kwame Brown was so outrageous that he directly told Kobe:
"If I'm unguarded, don't pass the ball to me! I'm very nervous. If I catch the ball and they foul me, I won't be able to score!"
Kobe was dumbfounded when he heard that Woznirmaline is nothing, you are the real "off the ball" master!
In fact, Kwame Brown played injured in the playoffs.
More than a month before the playoffs, the super center injured his shoulder. At that time, the team doctor said that for the sake of health, he would simply perform surgery and then be reimbursed for the season. However, Jackson and Kobe called to comfort Brown and told him to have surgery after the season and insist on playing through the playoffs.
Jackson's original words were: "In the playoffs, we need your defense. You can score 0 points in a game, but we need your rebounds and frame protection."
So Kwame Brown gave up the surgery and decided to play the playoffs with injury.
From this aspect, Kobe still admires Kwame Brown. This is why when Kobe called trash on his former teammates in the future, he basically scolded superstar Parker, but never said anything about Brown.
Because Kwame Brown was injured in the playoffs, Kobe had nothing to blame.
It's just that Kobe didn't expect that Brown would take Zen Master's sentence "You can score 0 points in a game" seriously.
This sentence is the same as a man saying "I only like you". How can you believe it! ?
It was hard for Kobe to say anything to Brown, who played injured. As for Odom, Parker and Walton, they didn't get as many opportunities as Brown, and Kobe didn't feel comfortable voting for them.
So I have to do it alone in overtime.
As for Ryan, the main reason is that the Nuggets did not have a more stable offensive point than him in overtime.
Moreover, Bird's tactical arrangement also intentionally allowed Ryan to take on more responsibilities in overtime in the playoffs.
If you want to win the championship but can't shoulder this responsibility, then it's just empty talk.
In Bird's view, this game was Kobe's test for Ryan, and it was also Ryan's test for himself.
Later in the playoffs, facing a string of 60-win teams in the Western Conference, the trouble will be even greater!
If Ryan can't even solve the Lakers, there's no need to talk about winning the championship.
Therefore, the entire overtime really became a one-on-one competition between Kobe and Ryan, even more intense than the 1988 Game 7 showdown between Bird and the best of the movie.
In that Game 7 of 1988, McHale, who was next to Bird, scored 33 points in a single game.
Randy Whitman, who was next to him, also scored 22 points.
But in today's overtime, Kobe and Ryan really had to solve the problem on their own!
The last 43 seconds will be the same rhythm!
It can be seen from the game that the other players on the field are not in the same state as the two of them.
Everyone was very tired and their movements became sluggish. But Kobe and Ryan were still dominating the game as if nothing was wrong.
At this time, the only way to achieve the highest efficiency is to give the ball to them.
At this time, the Lakers have the ball.
Kobe's difficult post-up move was forged by the joint defense of Ryan and Nene.
This shot made the Lakers desperate, because after this attack, there were only 31 seconds left in the game!
Bird immediately paused and arranged the tactics for the final attack.
Nuggets fans cheered. In the last 31 seconds, the Nuggets, who were leading by 1 point, had the advantage and it was almost impossible to lose.
Even if this attack doesn't score, just stalling for time can drag the Lakers to death!
After 24 seconds, there were only 7 seconds left in the game.
Kobe can't have another six- or seven-second buzzer-beater, right?
But Los Angeles fans don't think so, because that No. 8 specifically makes the impossible possible!
When the game restarted, Kobe still didn't feel tired at all. His defense against Ryan was so painful that he couldn't get rid of it.
It is not easy for Ryan to catch the ball.
It seems that Kobe, who doesn't have to go to court, has really abnormal physical fitness.
But the Nuggets' offense was not in a hurry. Any fool knew that the Nuggets, who were leading by 1 point, would try their best to use up the 24 seconds of this round.
Even if they don't score, they can still lead by 1 point in the last 7 seconds.
Ryan kept trying to get away, but Kobe clung to it. The live broadcast footage even directly showed a close-up of the two men without the ball, without showing the entire situation!
This shows how much the war between the two affects the hearts of fans.
In the last 10 seconds of the attack time, Ryan, who really couldn't catch the basketball, had to go to the top of the arc to catch the ball outside the three-point line.
Miller immediately moved away after handing the ball to Ryan, and Webb and Nene came out to set up a screen for Ryan.
It seems that at the last moment, the Nuggets are going to use Ryan to use the screen to directly attack with the ball!
Ryan immediately hugged the ball with his hands after catching the ball, and did not dribble in front of Kobe and give him a chance to steal.
Kobe stayed close, while Ryan turned sideways, grabbing the ball with one hand and placing it behind his back.
In the last 5 seconds, Nene and Weber were put up at the same time to set up a double cover.
Ryan pushed Kobe away slightly with his shoulder, then lowered his center of gravity and dribbled past Webber!
Under Weber's cover, Kobe didn't have time to steal the ball.
Ryan actively bypasses the screen, and his first step speed is still unmatched.
But Mr. Butterhand Kwame Brown made the right decision this time. The moment Ryan used the pick-and-roll to break through, he immediately switched defenses and blocked Ryan's breakthrough.
Seeing this situation, Ryan immediately stopped in an emergency, his hands were about to join the ball, and he was about to make an emergency stop jumper!
When Kwame Brown saw this, he didn't dare to slack off at all and immediately jumped up to block Ryan's shot.
But after jumping up, Kwame Brown cursed secretly: "It's broken! I'm the backdrop again!"
Ryan's move just now was not really about shooting, but just a fake move to worship Buddha!
After flying Kwame Brown, Ryan started up again. This time, Ryan received the "Instant Start" talent bonus for the second time, and he reached the penalty area with the ball at an extremely fast speed!
Stopping suddenly and then accelerating to break through again, this has been Ryan's usual trick since the second half of the season.
Zen Master is completely disappointed with Kwame Brown. To be honest, he doesn’t even know how to lead this team!
He estimated that in a few years he would not be able to believe that he was so poor that he was using Kwame Brown as an inside gate!
When Kwame Brown just told Kobe not to pass the ball to him, Kobe reluctantly said to Jackson: "Phil, let's replace him."
But the Zen master did not listen and instead told Kobe: "No, he needs to adapt and solve the difficulties on his own!"
Now the Zen Master regretted it. How could Brown adapt and solve difficulties? He was obviously creating difficulties!
However, after Ryan broke through, Odangdang, who performed well today, immediately defended and returned to the basket.
There is a kind of star called "Odom who doesn't touch the Kardashians."
Odom's defense is fast and active, but it must be admitted that Odom is not a frame protector. After Ryan jumped up with all his strength, he was completely riding on Odom, who raised his arms high.
Then Ryan opened his arms like a bow and smashed the ball into the basket with one arm!
Lakers fans were desperate, thinking this would be a game-killing dunk.
but!
The No. 8 wearing a purple jersey immediately appeared behind Odom, jumped up like a helicopter and stretched out his arms, blocking Ryan's one-handed dunk! His timely appearance prevented tragedy!
"Kobe blocked the shot behind Odom!
God, this was a tough block. This is the first time I've seen someone be able to stop Ryan's dunk!
Smush Parker got the basketball that was blocked by Kobe. This was his biggest, ah, no, only contribution on the court today! "
The commentators were yelling, and the fans at the Pepsi Center were screaming in amazement.
Ryan had already mounted Odom just now, and the buckle was already a certainty.
As a result, Kobe once again took advantage of him!
After being blocked, Ryan's center of gravity was unstable and he directly pressed Odom and fell to the ground.
With Odom at the bottom, Ryan propped his body back with his hands, spread his legs and buttocks, just straddling Odom's head.
Daddario looked at it and frowned, damn, how could I "accidentally" fall on Ryan's head like this?
Ryan immediately got up and wanted to chase after him. He knew something was wrong!
Sure enough, by the time Ryan got up, the Lakers' counterattack had already passed halftime!
Smush Parker immediately turned around and pushed quickly after receiving the blocked basketball, and Kobe immediately followed suit.
Ryan ran back. At this time, if someone could intercept Kobe in the middle, Ryan would still be able to rush back in time.
But after Parker handed the ball to Kobe, Kobe did not slow down and directly passed Kirilenko with a crossover and went straight into the paint!
Kirilenko turned around and pursued him. With a huge defensive area, he still had a chance to catch up.
But Kobe seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He pulled a lever in the air to avoid Kirilenko's pursuit and calmly made a layup!
For a moment, the entire commentary box was boiling again.
All the players on the Lakers bench jumped to their feet.
Kobe also tore his jersey excitedly!
His counterattack almost killed the game!
"The counterattack was successful! Kobe blocked Ryan's dunk at the last moment, and then completed the counterattack, leading the Lakers to a 1-point lead 109-108! And, only 2.1 seconds were left for the Nuggets!
And Kobe scored a career playoff-high 51 points!
51 points in the playoffs!
This is another great night created by Kobe this season!
He alone almost scored 50% of the Lakers' points! Under his leadership, the Lakers are about to steal the first home court in the Western Conference!
In regular time, Kobe has already robbed the Nuggets of a victory.
Unexpectedly, he stole it again in overtime!
Double kill, Kobe is so terrifying! "
Mike Breen had goosebumps all over his body. He didn't know how to describe Kobe's performance today.
Block shots, counterattacks, kills, defeating tops from below. There is simply no more perfect playoff script than this!
At this time, there are only 2.1 seconds left in the game.
Bird immediately paused the game, but fortunately he still had the last timeout left.
Kobe looked about to walk towards Ryan, showed three fingers, representing his three championship rings, and then smiled:
"Be reckless! You don't have this little ability, do you?
You can only film youth idol dramas with LeBron!
You can't squeeze in to this man's world! "
Ajan: First of all, I didn’t mess with any of you!
Kobe talked trash at Ryan, feeling like he had completely destroyed the young man who was not yet 22 years old.
A perfect tie in regular time to steal the victory.
Now in overtime, he used a block + pull rod to get another quasi-win.
Having been robbed of victory twice in a row, Kobe didn't think anyone could face such a setback. Even experienced players would have a mental breakdown when encountering this situation, let alone Ryan.
Faced with Black Mamba's vicious attack, Ryan just smiled, shook his head, and said nothing.
He sat back on the bench, and the entire Pepsi Center atmosphere became subdued.
Ryan's performance today was outstanding enough. He scored 44 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. He also scored 10 points in overtime.
This is already one of Ryan's strongest performances in the playoffs.
but.
Kobe exploded, as if he had eaten Ryan alive, not even the bones were left!
Inside the Pepsi Center, some fans were already lamenting Kobe's power;
"This guy is going crazy and no one can stop him!"
"A few years ago, Ryan broke the myth of Kobe's rushing game. But this year, it seems that it is his turn to break the myth of Ryan!"
"Kobe had another brilliant scoring performance, but why was Ryan on the background! Damn it!"
In Los Angeles, countless Lakers fans cheered in front of the TV.
Although the team's record this season is terrible, Kobe's performance is enough!
Ryan and James have been very popular recently, and their duel with established superstars has also attracted much attention.
And tonight, Kobe undoubtedly helped the veteran superstars regain a victory!
He seemed to be telling the new generation like Ryan, James and Wade:
"Don't worry, it's not your turn to have the final say in this alliance!"
Mike Brendt felt sorry for Ryan. His performance today was impeccable, but he happened to meet Kobe who couldn't hold down the red eye!
And he was defeated in an almost cruel way!
Although there are 2.1 seconds left, the time is too short after all.
Moreover, Kobe has just guarded Ryan once.
Who can guarantee that Kobe will not be able to complete another successful defense next time?
Ryan sat on the bench and looked relatively calm.
Bird, the head coach, was even more expressionless, as if this game had nothing to do with him.
He put the chair in front of Ryan and sat down:
"Let's fight like this next!"
Ryan nodded and looked carefully at the lines and circles on the tactical board.
Other players, especially Weber, who has always had poor mental quality, were immediately shocked.
At this time, Bird actually didn’t say something to encourage Ryan! ?
Just start arranging tactics like this?
Bird acted as if he was setting up an ordinary timeout and drawing an ordinary tactic!
It doesn't matter if Bird is so outrageous, the key is that Ryan is so calm!
Weber swallowed. Is this the gap between him and the real legendary superstars?
To be honest, Webb is actually glad that he is just a role player now.
If he were to go back to the time of the king and face such a situation and such a round, he would probably want to go to the toilet and pee first!
Bird mainly feels that at this time, for a real superstar, there is no need to talk nonsense at all!
excitation? No, that's what a young boy playing high school needs.
A real man should not be affected at all at times like this!
How can you be a superstar without a strong heart?
Ryan felt that he had nothing to be nervous about. After all, it was not like he had never won a game before.
Of course, the key to confidence comes from ability.
Ryan believes that as long as the tactics are right, 2.1 seconds is completely enough to turn defeat into victory!
After laying out the tactics, Bird stuffed the marker pen into the cap:
"Let's decide the winner, boys!"
Ryan was the first to stand up and step onto the field.
Everyone's eyes were on him. This No. 0 is now the Nuggets' last hope.
On the TV, scenes from Ryan's past career kills began to be replayed.
These pictures seem to remind fans: Don’t blink, this legendary showdown is not over yet!
"51 points to 44 points, the playoff showdown between Kobe and Ryan is enough to go down in history!
But no matter how great the story is, it will eventually have an ending.
Today, the end of this battle is coming!
Ryan, can he turn this rot into something magical and bring the game back? "
In the CCTV studio, Director Zhang and Yu Jia were so nervous that their palms sweated.
"Otherwise, Kobe is really amazing! He scored 51 points in the playoffs and played very reasonably! This is a superstar!
Let's see if Ryan can create a miracle in this round! "
Bird stood on the sidelines, arms folded across his chest.
Ryan had no expression on his face and stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.
Kobe walked up and pressed directly against Ryan, and continued to talk trash in his ear:
"You're probably the best 21-year-old, Ryan.
But the strongest 21-year-old player is just a kid in front of the championship players!
You will win the championship one day.
But it will have to wait until I retire! "
While Kobe was chattering away, players and referees from both sides were already in their positions.
All the fans held their breath, as if they were watching a Western movie. Now, it's time for the two gunmen to duel.
Winner or loser, 2.1 seconds left!
For the Nuggets, the final lineup is Ryan, Ellis, Leonard, Posey and Webber.
Everyone who can shoot has been sent up.
Jackson wasn't sure whether Bird would use any strange moves. After all, Ryan had to attack the whole overtime. At this time, if Bird suddenly changes his attack point, it will indeed have an unexpected effect.
And that Monta Ellis
Although he is a rookie in high school, Master Zen is really worried.
That kind of mad critic never feels nervous, just like Manu Ginobili of the Spurs, who can always do the most unexpected things at the most unexpected moments.
What's more, the Lakers only lead by 1 point. If Ellis suddenly cuts in, it is really possible to change the situation of the game.
Moreover, that guy from Weber serves the ball from the sideline and has the ability to send the ball to any corner of the court!
The reason why the Zen master was nervous was because he finally chose to surround and suppress Ryan with all his strength.
Therefore, someone will definitely be freed up later.
But there was no use being nervous now. He could only hope that his judgment was correct.
The referee handed the ball to Webb, and the final desperate moment officially began!
The Lakers had no one to interfere with the sideline free throws. The extra Odom was working with Kobe to surround Ryan.
Ryan started from the top of the arc towards the sideline, and Ellis and Ryan crossed paths in the opposite direction.
When Ellis passed by Ryan, Ryan suddenly stopped and gave Ellis an off-ball screen!
Ellis took advantage of the screen and suddenly cut inside, ran toward the basket from the middle, and raised his hand for the ball!
Kobe could only make a decision at that moment. He couldn't sit back and watch, so he switched defenses to follow Ellis and block his receiving route.
Seeing this, Ryan suddenly started to move away from Odom and Smush Parker and ran to the sideline, receiving a pass from Weber.
The moment he caught the ball, Ryan relied on his "instant start" talent to pass Odom and Parker who were chasing behind him.
When Kobe saw this moment, he wished he could turn back time.
Damn Ellis is bait!
In fact, it is useless to go back in time, because Bird arranged a conspiracy.
Kobe just had to guard Ellis because if he didn't switch, Ellis could cut into the frame.
And once Kobe defends Ellis, Ryan will get a chance!
No matter how he switches defenses, Ryan has to face the defense of two people.
But can Odom and superstar Parker have a defensive effect comparable to that of Kobe?
Ryan used his extreme speed to get one step inside the three-point line, stopped immediately and took action!
Odom tried his best to rush over. He knew that Ryan was dribbling like a ball and wanted to reach out to steal the ball, but he missed it.
Seeing this, the Zen master's heart was already cold. This was a fatal defensive mistake!
At this time, if you steal the ball, it means victory, but if you can't steal it, it means that the defense has completely failed!
Parker? After Parker saw Ryan successfully getting rid of him, he already started holding his head in advance.
He is indeed a man with CBA pedigree!
Ryan ran one step inside the three-point line and took off before time ran out.
Countless fans around the world watched as Ryan seemed to be hovering in the air, then bent his arms, pressed his wrists, and shot the basketball steadily.
Odom jumped up again to block, but was out of reach.
The basketball has just been released, and time has reached 0.
Kobe stared at the basketball, his hands and feet getting cold.
He clearly saw that Ryan's shot just now was not disturbed at all!
And this guy's open jump shots are notoriously terrible!
The basketball flew towards the basket, hit the front edge of the backboard and then jumped high. There was a little joy on the faces of the Lakers players.
But the next second, the basketball went straight into the net after falling back!
At that moment, all Bird could hear was an electronic buzzer, mixed with the sounds of the Lakers players' utter heartbreak.
it's over!
This gorgeous showdown has already come to an end.
Next, there was Mike Brin’s iconic roar:
"Anti-kill!
In the last 2.1 seconds, the Denver Nuggets played a very good sideline ball coordination!
Ryan stabbed this fatal sword!
The Lakers were almost going to win, and they were almost going to steal the first home court in the Western Conference!
But Ryan stood up and defended the glory of being No. 1 in the Western Conference!
He gives an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! Let Kobe also experience the feeling of having a victory snatched away! This guy is very, very vindictive!
Absolute draw, absolute kill, reverse absolute kill!
Kobe Bryant scored 51 points vs. Ryan Lens 46 points!
This is a great, dazzling, playoff matchup worthy of being recorded in history!
Both men performed respectably, but unfortunately, there can only be one winner!
Ryan was like a new sun. He finally climbed over thousands of mountains and lit up the entire Denver! "
Mike Breen's voice echoed in the homes of countless fans.
As for the Pepsi Center, it has become the hottest place in the world!
On the court, Weber rushed up and hugged Ryan. He knew that this thigh was reliable!
The other players were also very excited, jumping up and down with joy.
At this time, the camera showed Bird, but people saw that he was still expressionless.
After all, when Miller pushed away Jordan to complete the buzzer-beating game, Big Bird, as the coach, never showed a smile.
He seemed to be telling the world: "This? It's just a small scene."
Although Bird did nothing, everyone always felt that he was faking!
At this time, Ryan broke away from all the teammates hugging him and strode towards Kobe who was about to leave the field.
Bird's expression finally changed at this time. He stared at Ryan intently, as if expecting something.
Ryan walked up to Kobe, without hugging or high-fiving, but raising his arms in a mighty manner:
"Stop talking about men and boys with me!
No matter how many points you score today, I'm going to beat you here!
Goodbye, Kobe.
Are black mambas dangerous? The Black Mamba, whose fangs have been pulled out, will no longer pose any threat! "
Ryan didn't forget Kobe's previous provocations and taunts, so he didn't rush to celebrate after the buzzer-beater, but rushed forward to respond as soon as possible!
Seeing this, Bird finally showed a little smile.
That’s right, that’s how it should be!
If you don't pretend to beep after finishing the killing blow, then why do you still kill it?
This time, it was the Black Mamba's turn to turn around and walk away.
He was speechless!
The Zen Master looked at the defeated Kobe and sighed. He also knew that when Kobe couldn't win the game even with 51 points, the team's morale would plummet.
Although the two sides played very close today, if nothing else, this should be the closest game.
Because after this game, the morale of the Lakers will plummet.
Although it was only the first game, for the Lakers, what Ryan had just done was already the ultimate blow!
The Zen master shook his head. The NBA is like this. Talented people emerge from generation to generation.
Kobe and O'Neal took the league by storm, and now, a new group of young people have caught up with them with the same proud attitude as they did back then!
Who is the best 21-year-old player in NBA history?
The Zen master shook his head.
Oh, who else could it be?
