Chapter 238 (230 Seven) The Most Powerful Reversal
Bryant came on, McGrady also returned to the court at the same time.If in the past this was another battle for the No. 3 shooting guard, but now it has evolved into MVP Kobe on offense and [-]D player McGrady on defense.The two were entangled, and the teammate reluctantly passed the ball to Kobe, but was directly destroyed by McGrady and went out of bounds.

Gasol has already sat off the court at this time, and he has consumed a lot, so he has to rest to wait for the decisive battle at the last moment.Kobe looked at Gasol and decided to fight himself.He caught the ball outside the three-point line, used Mihm's screen to break through McGrady, then feinted and dribbled past Roy, and Yao Ming had already blocked it for a layup.But Kobe Bryant made a low-handed layup after flying over Yao Ming with a drifting lever, 75:77.

Roy of the Rockets did not show weakness either. He faced Kobe's defensive wobble and hit a jumper with a horizontal dribble to tie the score again.

"What an incredible rookie!" Barkley exclaimed: "In such a crucial game in the fourth quarter, Adelman boldly sent rookie player Roy, and he lived up to expectations and succeeded in singles against Kobe."

"The Rockets' draft is really commendable, and their two rookie guards will enter the All-Star sooner or later." Miller also admired.If the Pacers have such a powerful management team, why would he regret retiring without a championship?

Soon Yao Ming was also replaced by Ah Shuai and sat on the bench. It seemed that he had to wait until the last moment to fight against Gasol.The next game completely evolved into a battle between Kobe and the heroes. The Rockets blossomed more, but the Lakers relied entirely on the newly promoted MVP Kobe's super personal ability to keep scoring points.

Kobe ran ahead early when his teammate served the ball, received a pass and made a three-pointer; on the next ball, he faced McGrady's defense and made a two-pointer; seeing Odom coming to cover, he rushed two steps and made a jumper; followed by Kobe's good post-up singles, and a turnaround jumper was returned!In just the first half of the quarter, Kobe scored 13 points and withstood the Rockets' crazy counterattack by himself.

Gasol also made a shot after playing, 90:93, the Lakers led by 3 points.At this time, there were less than 5 minutes left in the game.

Yao Ming fell into a low singles, he turned right and pretended to go to the bottom line, then turned left and hit the hook in the middle.

After Kobe attracted the defense, he went straight to Odom under the basket. Odom was about to get up and dunk, but Yao Ming was standing next to the basket, completely blocking his shooting angle.Odom is also very capable, with a wide field of vision, and he was assigned to Battier at the top of the three-point arc as soon as he turned around.

(Small allusion: In a game in October 2008, Odom took the ball to the basket and turned around and passed it to the substitute Vujacic on the sidelines. This shot became one of the most famous funny passes in NBA history)

Battier received the ball and was blocked by Jefferson, leaving no room for a shot.He rushed to the basket and didn't have a chance to make a phone call, but was intercepted by Bosh.

Yao Ming made a low post attack again, and Odom double-teamed Yao Ming and threw it to the basket without hesitation.When Bosh received the ball, there was no one in front of him. He dunked the basket vigorously and missed it.

The Lakers took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and Deron made a layup, 92:95.Bosh was annoyed and missed the opportunity to overtake.

But there will still be opportunities. Spann missed a three-pointer. Bosh resisted Odom and jumped up to take off the offensive rebound and made a tip-up!This ball finally made up for it.

Kobe rushed to the basket, and against the defense of two insiders, he just made a high throw layup!Lakers fans are excited.The situation once turned to the Rockets before, but the Lakers still have Kobe, the point-scoring madman, and Kobe is in the team spirit!

McGrady's possession of the ball attracted the Lakers' defensive formation to shift slightly, and this attraction created a little gap for the right wing.Bosh immediately ran over to block Deron, McGrady's pass had arrived, Spann caught the ball and made a jump shot, and the goal was still one point away!
Kobe attracted a double-team again and was assigned to Gasol in the high position. Gasol had no chance to give Odom another pass, and the pass was wrong!Bosh broke the ball, and the Rockets launched a counterattack. Spann took the lead and ran in the front. After receiving a pass from McGrady, he made an easy layup, 98:97!In the last 1 minute and 50 seconds of the game, the Rockets took the lead for the first time!

Kobe roared and hit the basket hard and caused a foul, and made two free throws.The Lakers surpassed again!
The Rockets made substitutions, and Billups and Reid returned to the court. The CTM trio assembled again, sounding the clarion call for the Rockets' last wave of attack.

It was still Yao Ming's singles and then split the ball to the outside line, Reid caught the ball from the bottom corner and Battier immediately rushed forward; after another 45 degrees of McGrady, Kobe, who was still assisting Yao Ming just now, tried his best to catch up; then turned to the top of the arc, Deron went to help Kobe defend against McGrady, and Billups was empty!
Chauncey made a three-pointer, 101:99.

"Fight it! Fight it!" Kobe's eyes turned red, and he frantically took the ball to the Rockets penalty area.Maddie fell down.

The referee whistles, defensive foul!
"That's right! This is clearly a dribble hit!" Several people stood up on the Rockets' bench, and Wang Yuanfei yelled in surprise.

Fortunately, they were still calm, and no one rushed into the field, otherwise they might be suspended.The referee's judgment is not accurate, but it cannot be questioned casually.

Kobe made two free throws, 101 tie!
The Rockets made a key attack, and there were only 49 seconds left in the game.Ah Shuai called a timeout.

"Does the damn alliance want to drag the game into a tiebreaker to increase the ratings?" Wang Yuanfei said angrily, "We will never let them do what they want!"

"Leave it to me, and I'll take care of it." McGrady said calmly.

No one questioned it, although he was in a sluggish state after the operation and his explosive power was much worse than before.But no one would think to question him.

That's what leadership looks like!The leadership qualities that McGrady once lacked gradually precipitated during his postoperative recuperation period.McGrady, who became famous at a young age, had a smooth career in his early years. It was not until he could calm down and think about basketball slowly that he cultivated this kingly temperament.

If it was 2 years ago, the Lakers players would desperately block McGrady from receiving the ball, but at this time they didn't know who the ball would be sent to.Yao Ming is the top scorer, Reed is the ace shooter, Billups is the top brain, who will Bosh send to?
Bosh served the ball to Tracy McGrady.McGrady controlled the ball calmly, consuming time against Kobe.

With only 30 seconds left in the game, McGrady calmly lowered his center of gravity, twisted his waist, and started a breakthrough.Kobe's eyes widened, and he also lowered his weight and opened his arms.

With a flick of his shoulders, McGrady raised the ball and made a three-pointer.Kobe was caught off guard and failed to interfere.

"Is this the ball shot like this? Isn't it too sloppy?" Barkley said in surprise.

At this moment, McGrady's heart was extremely quiet, and Jason Wang's voice echoed in his ears.

"Your dream is to be the next Jordan. But I want you to be the first McGrady. You can't blindly copy Jordan's style of play."

"Remember to improve your shooting accuracy. When you are as accurate as Bird or Miller, you already dominate the league."

McGrady shot this three-pointer like he did in countless practice sessions, and he knew the moment he took the shot that the goal was scored!
"Thank you Jason, because of your guidance, I have developed the shooting ability that is enough to sweep the league. Even if my athletic ability declines, the shooting ability will accompany me all my life."

Hollow into the net, 104:101!

Van Gundy asked for a timeout. His last offensive tactic was assigned to Kobe, but it was difficult for Kobe to catch the ball under McGrady's defense.

Gasol caught the ball and scored at the basket, but the Lakers wasted another 5 seconds.With only 22 seconds left in the game, the Lakers were forced to foul.

Yao Ming walked to the free throw line, Shen Xin made a free throw, 105:103.The Rockets' bench was full of joy. As long as Yao Ming continued to hit the second free throw, the Rockets would lead by three points. Even if the Lakers made a three-pointer, they could only tie the score instead of overtaking it.

Yao Ming seemed to be thinking about something, he hesitated for a moment when he got the ball, and then resolutely looked at the basket.

"Yao seems to be thinking about something?" Wang Yuanfei realized something was wrong.

Yao Ming tossed the ball, but he didn't hold it to the top of his head as usual, but pushed it out in front of him. The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced straight in front of Yao Ming.

"Wow!" The audience exclaimed!
When the others were stunned and didn't react at all, Yao Ming grabbed the designed offensive rebound, turned around and handed it to Billups outside the three-point line.

The Lakers players are all stupid.They thought of Yao Ming's goal and chasing a three-pointer to enter overtime, and they also thought of Yao Ming's effort to fight for offensive rebounds if he failed to make a free throw.Only did not expect Yao Ming to create an offensive rebound for himself.

The Lakers players were a full 5 seconds slower before Deron rushed to foul Billups.

This time Chauncey is much easier, he made two free throws, 107:103. 4 points difference, the Lakers come back as hard as ever!
With Kobe's desperate three-pointer, the game is over!

Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, but ultimately failed to defend the home honor.Tears streamed down his face.

Gasol and Battier, the old teammates, looked at each other with helpless faces.The two turned from underdogs to giants together, but they still couldn't realize their dream of chasing the championship.

The two young Williams are already crying, and this loss may become their valuable asset in the future.

Van Gundy sighed, his hair looking even thinner.

Odom glanced at Fan Shuai secretly, and thought: "Is it time for you to dismiss get out of class?"

Jason Bass in front of the TV was beating his chest with anger, but it didn't help.

The Rockets achieved a shocking 4-point comeback in the away game with a 24-point advantage. They also eliminated their rival Lakers with a big score of 4:2, reaching the finals for the third time in a row!
