Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 167

At 32 seconds, the Rockets trailed by 3 points. However, the ball is in their hands, leaving them with many choices.Shoot a three-pointer and defend one. This is the most commonly used trick.

Just, will the Rockets bet on it?Del was confused, there was still 32 seconds left, there was still plenty of time, so there was no need to bet on a three-pointer, but if he didn’t shoot a three-pointer to make a two-pointer, he had to defend one when he came back. If the Lakers made another shot, wouldn’t they still have to bet on a three-pointer?

Coaches always think more than others, because they have to sum up a good strategy from it.

After some contemplation, Del made a decision, put two points and defend three points, as long as there is no foul, he will kick off in the backcourt and play a war of attrition.

This is a common tactic, hold the lead, and there are 32 seconds left at the end. Generally, the leading team will adopt the tactic of defending three-pointers and releasing two-pointers on the defensive end. In this way, they can fight a war of attrition. There is only one attack time left, so the leading defense will definitely fight a war of attrition, and the trailing side must resort to foul tactics, and in the end they can only bet three points.

Now, what Del asks the players to do is to defend against three-pointers, and then force the Rockets to use foul tactics.

In the tense and serious tactical arrangement, players from both sides returned to the court, and the final fight started again.

The Rockets served the ball from the sideline and handed it over to the glider. Eddie didn't hesitate, and defended himself close to the top, using his body strength to oppress the glider.

For the Rockets, Dameng pulled up and waited for an opportunity to cover. At the same time, on the right wing, Barkley slid down, and the glider immediately dribbled the ball. With Dameng's cover, he moved to the left to kill.

For the Lakers, Horry rushed to make up the defense, but at this moment, the inside formed a dislocation and became Eddie's defensive dream. The glider immediately received the ball and handed it directly to Dameng.

two points?
Del was a little puzzled, what was the Rockets coach playing?Do they still have a chance when they hit two points?Although he was very confused, Del stared at the court cautiously.According to what he knew about the Rockets coach, this guy is not the kind who wouldn't be so stupid as to not know these things. He must have a plan to do so.What Dell has to do now is to see the conspiracy of the Rockets coach.

On the court, Dameng took the ball, and when he saw a dislocation, he didn't hesitate, just sat down and hit, pushed Eddie, and went straight to the basket.

Due to Del's tactics of putting two points and defending three points, seeing Dameng layup easily, the Lakers players hurriedly dodged to avoid physical contact.In this way, Dameng scored the ball easily, scored 2 points for the Rockets, and chased the point difference to 1 point.

What is this guy doing?
Del was a little stunned, because when the Lakers kicked the backcourt, the Rockets didn't mean to foul at all. Is this the rhythm of giving up?
However, Del suddenly looked at the timer and immediately understood.

There are still 26 seconds left in the game, that is to say, the Rockets only used 6 seconds for the attack just now?Del was stunned. Could it be that he was too focused on seeing their tactics clearly and ignored the time?Did they really only take 6 seconds?
At this point, Del finally understood the Rockets' intentions. They, like themselves, played quickly and then bet on defense instead of shooting.

In 26 seconds, if the Lakers score a two-pointer against time, the Rockets must bet on a three-pointer. three points.Obviously, the latter tactic is more difficult to execute.

However, it is also difficult for the Lakers to score a three-pointer?How can I do?
On the court, the Lakers players obviously fought a war of attrition, dribbling the ball leisurely.

16 second, 15 seconds, 14 seconds.
Bet three points?Still two points.

Del was a little apprehensive. This game was very important, and the Lakers couldn't lose.

pause!Rearrange the tactics again.

In 14 seconds, the Lakers still have 12 seconds to attack, enough!It's just, is this offense shooting a three-pointer or a two-pointer?This is the most important question.

"Dell, let's bet three points!" O'Neill said seriously.

The three-pointer is very risky, but if it is scored, it is tantamount to declaring the Lakers the victory of the game.

"Are you confident?" Dell ignored O'Neill's proposal, but turned to look at the players seriously.

"Yes!" Everyone shouted confidently.

"Okay!" Del yelled softly, "Then we'll make a three-pointer."

Then, Del arranged a series of positions, running positions, and the selection of shot personnel.

A timeout elapses, and the double-serve players are back on the court again.At this time, the Lakers have no timeout, and the Rockets only have one left. Therefore, this attack is almost equivalent to declaring the fate of the Lakers.

Eddie served from the sideline and handed it to Horry. O'Neal pulled up high. At the same time, Campbell also raised up, and he was in the familiar fifth-line position.

The Rockets trailed by one point, and they were most worried about the Lakers scoring a three-pointer. Therefore, on the defensive end, their focus was shifted to the outside line, and only Dameng was defending the inside line.

6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds. The ball was transferred to Horry's hands, and Barkley rushed forward. Horry didn't dare to hesitate, he flicked his right hand, and passed the ball to Eddie who was ambushing on the baseline.

Seeing that the time to attack was approaching, Eddie made no adjustments and rushed to make a move.

The movement seemed to be a bit off. The basketball swiped around in the basket and flew out again. The rebound was caught by Dameng. At the same time, Dameng immediately reached out and asked for a timeout.

With only 3 seconds left, one point behind, the ball is in their own hands, the Rockets have more choices, two points in a sudden, a buzzer lore, or a direct three-pointer from the outside, shooting through the Lakers basket , this is all possible.

The three-pointer missed just now, and now the pressure has returned to the Lakers. They must maintain [-]% of their attention to defend against the Rockets' offense in order to win.If, among them, the defense is not in place and the Rockets score a goal, whether it is two points or three points, the Lakers will lose the victory.

Del is nervous and uneasy, but he must remain calm, because he knows that these players are more nervous and uneasy than himself. If he can't hold on anymore, how can he ask them to focus on the game?

At this point, Del encouraged himself, roared inwardly, and arranged tactics calmly.

There are no tactics at all. What the Lakers have to do is to defend closely and not foul. In this way, the requirements for players are particularly high.However, in order to win, they are willing to bear the pressure on them.

The last timeout came back, and the double-reverse players stepped onto the battlefield again.

In the last attack, either the enemy will die or we will die.The Lakers are under a lot of pressure, but the Rockets are also under a lot of pressure. If they score this goal, they will sweep the Lakers and they can go home and sleep for a few days.They are naturally yearning for such a wonderful thing, so the pressure on them is not small.

Serve from the center line to the glider, who dribbles quickly.At this time, all the Rockets players pulled out, and the basket was empty, which meant that the Rockets adopted a breakthrough tactic, taking two points instead of shooting three points.

"Pay attention to the bottom of the basket." Del couldn't sit still, roared, and kept waving his hands to signal the players to retreat to the bottom of the basket and pay attention to the Rockets' breakthrough.

Hearing Del's call, O'Neill frowned, let go of Dameng, retracted slightly, and helped defend.

However, the glider didn't really want to break through, it was just a feint, and a real attack was a dream.So, the moment O'Neill recovered, the glider hit the ground and passed the ball to Dameng.

Seeing that O'Neal has recovered the bottom of the basket, in desperation, Fisher only needs to go up.However, in the face of a behemoth like Dream, Fisher's defense is fearless and does not pose any threat at all.Look at Dameng again, seeing that Fisher is defending in front of him, he doesn't even look at it, and directly makes a mid-range jumper.

Just in time, at the moment of Dameng's shot, the last second of the game just arrived.

"Shua!!!" The basketball went into the net hollowly, and the Rockets went ahead by one point. Looking at the time, there were only 0 seconds left.

The Rockets players cheered. Although the game is not over yet, with only 0 seconds left, the Lakers can already be sentenced to death.
The entire arena fell into silence. They didn't want to see this moment, but it did come.Look at the Lakers players again, they look dull and helpless.

0 seconds, no timeout, serve from the back court, it is difficult to reverse the game.

"It's about to win, why did it happen like this." Josh became a little unhappy.He knew that Ling Yu would definitely like to see his team win. Although Josh was not a fan of that team, why not do it now that he could do what Ling Yu likes and please him by the way?
"The last choice was wrong." Ling Yu frowned slightly.In his opinion, the Lakers should not have shot a three-pointer at all in the offense just now. They mainly focused on the inside, hit a two-pointer, or made an early foul. In this way, the Lakers are more likely to score more Poor, two points or three points, in this case, the Rockets' offensive option must be three points.

Compared with three-pointers and two-pointers, the hit rate will naturally be higher. Moreover, the Lakers hold the lead. Even if the Rockets score the ball, the Lakers can ensure undefeated.

But, now! !

well!Ling Yu sighed helplessly in his heart. Under such circumstances, the possibility of making a comeback is less than one in a billion.

As expected, the Lakers made their final attack, and the time was up before they even made a shot.With the game of this game, it also announced that the Lakers' game this season is over, and they should go home and go fishing in the next time.

Although Ling Yu was a little sad, he was not unable to extricate himself, because he had already thought of the ending.

"Bryant." Josh looked at Ling Yu carefully: "When are we going to find the information?"

"It's almost time for people to leave." Ling Yu pondered for a while and said, "I seem to remember where I am."

"Really?" Josh's eyes lit up, as long as he knew it, there was no time left to find it.
