Chapter 866 Let Me End You

"I have placed Manu in a very high position."

"But I didn't expect that I still underestimated him."

"He is just a superstar, a superstar with unparalleled offensive ability."

"But now, it's rotation time, and the Lakers without Ginobili are in trouble."

The corners of Popovich's mouth raised slightly.

Kobe Bryant on the court?

That's better.

Let Parker go and fight Kobe.

In this game, Kobe only rested for 3 minutes in the second quarter.

Look at Kobe Bryant, who wants to play the whole game, and runs around with the French sports car. At the critical moment, why should he play the key ball with my Duncan?

Will Kobe play?

Harris was also very confused at this time.

This is the last time Kobe can rotate, otherwise he will have to play the full 45 minutes.

If Kobe is given 3 minutes of rest time, Kobe will be able to adapt to and accept 42 minutes of playing time.

But this is already the fourth quarter.

Kobe is not here, Ginobili is not there. The Lakers may be beaten, and the point difference will be widened.

The Spurs definitely have such strength.

Cole and Horry, two veterans, will score three-pointers unreasonably when their hands are hot.

These three minutes are particularly important.

How to adjust?

"Coach, let me go." Kobe knew what Harris was hesitating about.

As a captain, no matter whether he can take the lead or not, he must take the lead at this time!

Even though he knows Duncan's key abilities, he is already unique in the paint.

No matter what, Kobe will not choose to rest at this time!

This is Mamba Mentality!

Harris smiled slightly, he knew the character of this disciple.

That's what Kobe is.

rest?

nonexistent.

Without fighting until the last drop of blood is shed, it is impossible for Kobe to choose to rest.

"Go ahead, Kobe. You lead the second unit."

The Lakers' bench lineup has been adjusted to: Xiaoyu, Kobe, Fox, Randolph, and Okur.

The Spurs' lineup on the other side is Cole, Parker, Finley, Horry, and Willis.

"Tony! Break for me! No matter what the effect is! I want you to drain every ounce of Kobe's physical energy!" Popovich shouted from the sidelines.

The French sports car nodded and took the ball from Horry.

"Pay attention to Cole and Horry's three-pointers." Kobe opened his hands! Keeping his eyes on Parker, he did not forget to remind his teammates of their defensive positions.

Although the current French sports car does not have the all-conquering FMVP-level offensive capabilities under the Spurs system at its peak, his combat effectiveness has begun to show signs!

Low center of gravity!

high speed!

Plus an invincible little spinning top!

Such skills would be enough for him to average more than 17 points per game if he were a starter.

If he is the core of a bad team, he can even average 20+ per game.

In the Spurs, Tony Parker is just a small substitute for the team!

Duncan, General, Stockton, Finley and even Laga Bell, Horry's team status is much higher than him!

Although Parker has many flaws, his advantage is that he is willing to obey Popovich's management!

Since Popovich lets him attack! Parker felt unsure, but he was also prepared to beat Kobe!

"FIST!" Parker called the pick-and-roll!

Horry and Willis pull from the inside!

Horns!

On both sides of the free throw line.

The Lakers' substitute insiders, whether Randolph or Okur, are all slow-moving players.

Parker just wants to seize this opportunity and beat Kobe!

Look at Tony Parker having a decent organization.

Kobe suddenly stepped forward!

Quickly tag Parker!

It's like a black mamba clinging to his prey!

"What makes you think you can slow down and control the ball in front of me?"

Kobe's eyes are full of aggression!

Under this look, Parker's goosebumps stood up all over his body!

"Zut!!!" Parker burst out in a hometown dialect.

asphyxia!

Kobe's defense is so suffocating!

Covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Death coil!

Parker understands how Kobe won the best defensive player by virtue of his guard position.

"Pass the ball! Don't lose the ball!" Popovich jumped up and down!

I want to pass the ball too!

But it can’t be spread!

Parker was distracted for a moment, and Kobe fell to the ground and poked the ball forward!

"What?" Parker didn't expect that Kobe would use a fall-down approach to steal the ball!

Too much effort!

You are the strongest player in history!

Use this rolling and climbing method!

No face?

And when he saw Kobe getting up from the ground in a flash, Parker quickly turned back to grab the ball!

That's too late!

Kobe and Parker started running at almost the same time!

But step by step!

Kobe's pace is getting faster and faster!

"Fuck! If I were a French sports car, wouldn't you become an American Boeing plane?"

Tony Parker could only watch as Kobe knocked him away, took the basketball, jumped up easily, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

Powerless!

Parker faced off against Kobe for the first time!

He truly realized the gap between himself and GOAT-level players in the league.

"Tony! Run, don't hold the ball too much." Horry pulled Parker aside.

In the entire Spurs, no one knows Kobe's strength better than Horry.

Holding the ball in front of Kobe is something even Jordan would find difficult to do.

Are there too few players who have failed because of beating Kobe Bryant?

Pippen, Penny, Hill

Each and every one of them had to go head-to-head with Kobe, only to collapse.

If you want to consume Kobe's physical energy, it's not just a one-on-one fight.

"I understand." Parker rubbed his ears.

Popovich's insults on the sidelines even overwhelmed the noise of the fans.

On the next ball, Cole advanced with the ball.

Tony Parker started running around in circles!

Can't beat you! Can I still outrun you?

Kobe ran the entire game, while Tony Parker only played for more than ten minutes!

Kobe frowned.

The best choice at this time is to let Xiaoyu chase Tony Parker.

Kobe defends Cole.

Cole is now too old to run and become a spot-up shooter.

But Kobe didn't make this choice. Instead, he stood inside the three-point line and stretched out his waist.

"Kobe Bryant puts his arms on his hips and defends! Kobe is tired!" The fans on the sidelines were roaring crazily.

And Parker naturally received Cole's pass from outside the three-point line.

What does it mean?

Don't you want to guard against me?

underestimate me! ! ? ? ?

Seeing Kobe's lazy look, Tony Parker couldn't help but get angry!

I have three points!

Kobe knew Parker had three points.

But his shooting percentage this season is only 33.4%.

In the future, Parker will incorporate three-pointers into his skill set, but now?

Parker took aim for a long time!

But Kobe didn't move at all!

"You really want me to vote?"

"Then I vote!"

"Ah, I'm strong!"

Parker's expression changed rapidly.

Popovich's piercing shouts rang in his ears again.

"Too!!!! Ni!!!!"

The Lakers didn't wait for Popovich to reprimand Parker.

Fight back again!

Kobe drives to the basket and passes the ball to Okur on the outside.

Okur caught it steadily.

No one is defending! 98o

The fair and plump Okur gently held up the basketball and stretched to throw the ball.

Another three-pointer!

"beep!"

"TOY!!!!!!!!!"

Spurs time out!

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen a coach scold a player so badly." Xiaoyu shrank his neck.

Fortunately, he grew up under the gentle silver fox Harris instead of the tyrant Popovich.

"If this kid can really grow up from Popovich's reprimand, his future will be immeasurable." Ewing smacked his lips. If he can endure the intolerance of ordinary people, this kid will definitely become a great player!

The Spurs' timeout ended quickly.

No lineup adjustments were made.

Harris wants the Lakers' newcomers to grow up quickly, and so does Popovich.

He only abuses people if he cares. Popovich never pays attention to those on the fringes of the team because they may be kicked out of the team at any time.

But Tony Parker and Popovich are really optimistic about this kid from France.

Perhaps in the future, after the general retires, he will become Tim Duncan's best helper!

Tony Parker has this talent.

But Parker is not Duncan. Duncan's skills and mentality have been at their peak since entering the league.

Parker is still just a piece of diamond.

In this case, this piece of jade must be tempered hard!

Finish cursing! You go ahead and get on with it!

It was the kind of treatment Tony Parker was used to.

His face does not change color.

Keep taking Kobe around!

Don't you like standing inside the three-point line?

Then I will run from this corner to that corner!

Hey! I am not accurate in three points, but I just want to run! I ran out of space and just didn't shoot! Just playing!

Kobe stood two or three steps inside the three-point line. Although the moving distance was much smaller than Tony Parker, he still had to keep up with Parker.

After all, cutting to the basket without defense is simply a blow.

The Spurs' offense was organized by Horry after Parker took away Kobe.

Cole used Willis to pick and roll and ran out of space.

But the next moment, Xiaoyu appeared in front of him crazily!

Xiaoyu is among the starters, so perhaps his defense can only be considered average, especially when facing speedy defenders.

But on the bench!

Facing old arms and legs like Cole!

The little fish collides savagely!

The bulging muscles all over his body crashed straight into Cole!

"I'm ashamed!" Cole secretly scolded the young man for not practicing martial arts! Facing an old senior like me, he actually used such arrogant moves!

Reluctantly giving up the three-point shot, he passed the ball back to Horry.

Horry pushed the ball to Finley again.

Finley and Bowen were in the same situation when they started, and neither of them was very offensive. Bowen knew he couldn't make a shot, and Finley knew that facing Bowen, his shooting percentage would be very bad.

So Finley has a lot of stamina to score on the bench.

Passed Fox in one step and succeeded in the dunk!

"Michael Finley!!!"

Finley roared.

You know, he is a young small forward averaging 20+ per game!

A first-class player with explosive physical fitness and all-round offensive and defensive capabilities!

There was no performance in the playoffs. If this continues, he will transform from a potential star to a role player!

Finlay couldn't accept it!

"Very good, Parker ran with Kobe. Finley grabbed the score!" Popovich nodded secretly on the sidelines.

The Spurs have found a stable way to score, and the Lakers are no different.

"Fuck! You still resist me, you brat!" Horry's face darkened.

Black Bear Zach Randolph shoved him to the basket, then firmly turned and hit a layup.

This is the difference in squat position.

"Old guy, I've been dissatisfied with you for a long time." Zach Randolph curled his lips.

When he was with the Lakers, Randolph was unhappy with Horry stealing his playing time.

"Hiss!" Horry covered his chest.

Livestock!

Randolph is such a beast!

In his rookie season, he was still able to bully him in training matches!

As a result, after not seeing each other for a season, he became so strong.

"Very good. In this case, Kobe doesn't have to exert any force, and the Lakers can survive this period of time."

Harris nodded happily.

The black and white bears on the Lakers bench may become Kobe's right-hand man in the future.

If their movement and defense weren't too slow, Harris even felt that they could be a starter on any team in the league.

"With 9 minutes left in the game, the two sides successively replaced their starting lineups."

"The final moment of decisive battle is coming."

"Lakers 80: 82 Spurs! The game continues!"

"Next, it's up to you." Xiaoyu gasped. He had just completed a clean sheet against Cole.

"Leave it to me." Ginobili nodded slightly, his long flowing hair flying.

"Yao, kill them." Zach Randolph, who scored 6 points in a row, patted Yao Ming on the shoulder.

Yao Ming said nothing and beat his chest in salute.

"Now, ITS OUR TIME!" Stephen Jackson suddenly roared.

"Kill them!"

"GO LA! GO!"

"Another key ball!!! I didn't expect that the game between the Lakers and the Spurs would once again be entangled until the last moment!" George Gervin's view is also the view of most rational experts.

Before the series started, most people thought the Spurs would take the Lakers easily. Except for Kobe Bryant's two outburst wins, they couldn't find any victory points for the Lakers.

But as the series went on.

The sharp edge of the demon sword is revealed.

The growth of Yao Ming.

The courage of role players.

The Lakers are showing their tenacity bit by bit!

This Lakers is by no means a team that can be rubbed around!

Even though they are no longer that invincible dynasty.

But the aura of the champion still continues among all players!

"Kobe, do you still have some energy left?" Duncan looked at Kobe with a deep look.

There is 1 minute left in the game.

Lakers 95:95 Spurs.

The two sides ended in a draw.

Kobe has played 45 minutes!

The sweat on his body and the sight of him panting made it clear to Duncan that Kobe's physical fitness had reached the end!

And Duncan is still full of physical energy under the reasonable use of Popovich.

"Let me finish you off! Just like the last time!"

Duncan suddenly turned around, threw away Yao Ming and rushed to the basket!

"Oops!" Yao Ming secretly said something bad! Chase back quickly!

However, Stockton's pass was like a cruise missile, traveling through the space like lightning and flashing to the basket!

And Duncan also happened to appear in the penalty area at this time!

Duncan leaps high!

The long arms reach into the sky!

One-handed catch!

Facing Stephen Jackson's defense, he turned a blind eye!

Amid the cheers of 20,000 fans at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, he slammed the ball into the basket!

The scene of Duncan hanging on the basket with one hand and dunking on Stephen Jackson has become a classic shot that Spurs fans will never forget.

"Timothy Theodore Duncan!!!!!!!!!"

"Alley-oop! Death dunk! In the last 50 seconds of the game, the score was overtaken!"

"No. 21 Tim Duncan! Duncan from St. Croix, Virgin Islands, took the lead at the last moment of the game!"

Congratulations to Black Mamba Kobe Bryant on the 8th and 24th!

No. 21 Tim Duncan!

No. 5&21 Wolves King Kevin Garnett is inducted into the Hall of Fame!

You are the memory of an era.
