Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 136 The Last 1 Minutes
"Snapped!"

A crisp sound exploded in the air, and George's dunk was blocked by Mutombo head-on, and his flying body was also pushed back suddenly. He was as strong as him. They all seemed so vulnerable.

The falling ball was caught by Mutombo and then passed to Miller who was in possession.

"This..." Brown watched Mutombo block George's dunk so easily, his eyes were full of shock.

"Dreaming back to the top, Dikembe's performance can be said to be the same as in the finals two years ago. It seems that Shaquille, an old opponent, has awakened some of his memories, haha~" Johnson said at this time He also laughed out loud, he has also played against Mutombo, and he is also very appreciative of his ability.

"Dream back to the top..." Brown murmured Johnson's words, looking thoughtfully at the trembling Mutombo and O'Neal on the court.

As Brown spoke, Mutombo took another offensive rebound over O'Neal's head and quickly passed it to Bell, who cut easily and scored two points for the Nuggets.

O'Neal was humiliated by Mutombo, so naturally he refused to let it go. He held his breath when he returned home, squeezed him away abruptly, scored a slam dunk, and scored two more points for the Lakers.

Dikembe Mutombo, who dreamed of returning to the peak, and O'Neal, who was at the peak, just started a good fight between you and me, and the fight was in full swing for a while.

Players from both sides also tried their best in the next game, and no one flinched, especially Kobe and Anthony. Although the two main scorers did not play in the same position, they were very uncomfortable chasing each other.

The game was exciting, and the audience on the sidelines had a good time. They have witnessed too many unilateral slaughters by the Lakers at home. It is rare to see this kind of game with alternating scores. They also enjoy the excitement and tension that they have not seen for a long time. , Each one is more involved than ever.

The game is constantly going on in this kind of rhythm of you coming and going, and it has entered the last minute of the last quarter without knowing it.

In the previous few minutes, perhaps the Lakers, who were forced to realize Anthony's scoring ability, let go of their arrogance and let Payton misplaced to defend the first offensive point that had scored 34 points for the Nuggets.

Payton's defense is really strong. Even though he is over 35 years old, his defensive skills can still rank among the top five in the league. Anthony has become more difficult to score under his defense, but Bell on the Nuggets side is not showing weakness. As the game got closer and closer to the end, he became more and more focused.

In the last minute of the fierce battle, at 1:112, the two teams who tried their best stood on the same starting line again.

The ball is in the hands of the Lakers, and Kobe is holding the ball. The super scorer of the Lakers has already scored 40 points in today's game. It can be said that the limelight is even better than Anthony. Undisputedly shouldered the key responsibility.

It was still Bell who defended Kobe. This defensive titan tried his best in this game, and now he was sweating profusely, panting heavily and gritted his teeth.

Relying on Bell's defense, Kobe also pushed twice with all his strength. After feeling that Bell's center of gravity had changed, he turned around sharply and walked around Bell's side in one go.

It can be said that Bell has tried his best at this time, and he was not deliberately showing weakness when he was shaken away by Kobe, but he was really tired, but he did not give up, and followed Kobe's back closely.

Mutombo, who was guarding the basket, saw Bell being shaken, and immediately moved forward, reaching out to block Kobe's breakthrough. He and Bell were about to block Kobe.

It should be said that Mutombo is a veteran who has been fighting for many years. When he stepped forward to defend, his body was completely stretched out, and he used his wide body to block Kobe's passing route.

After all, Kobe was in the middle of a breakthrough, blocked by Mutombo, and the angle he wanted to pass to O'Neal was blocked. At this time, the pass was likely to be intercepted, but he did not stop, but passed from Mutombo Bo jumped up to the right in front of him, and then his body stayed in the air behind the basket, a super large pull bar.

The ball seemed to have magical power in Kobe's hands, and it was firmly held in his hands. After he pulled the bar, his wrists drove his arms to do a super roundabout to avoid Mutombo's body, and then he threw a shot.

This time, when the offensive route was blocked, he found time to attack again, and his super physical coordination was fully revealed at this time. In the current league, there are only a few players who can complete this kind of action, and only Tracy McGrady and Carter Wait for a few people with abnormal physical fitness to do it.

There was a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene, and the shouts were endless. Kobe in front of them was the invincible Peter Pan in their hearts.

Kobe's offense was very exciting, but the seemingly impossible thing happened at this moment. Mutombo, who had been thrown by Kobe in mid-air, was able to move his body sideways at this time, and stretched out his big hand towards Kobe. After pulling the bar, the upper part of the body is covered.

Kobe's big lever was about to be ruthlessly blocked by Uncle Mu.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and Johnson and Brown also opened their mouths in surprise. Mutombo's ball was definitely not a problem that his body could react to, but that he had already predicted it. Such experience is simply a nightmare for attackers in the game. .

But at this moment, the seemingly impossible thing happened again. After Kobe pulled the super big lever, he actually pulled a small lever in the process of falling, barely avoiding Mutombo's block. Somewhere in front of the palm of the hand flew towards the basket.

"boom!"

The ball hit the front of the hoop and bounced again.

Everyone in the arena focused their glasses on the damn ball. The fans, including the Lakers players, hoped that the damn ball would fall into the frame, while the Nuggets players hoped that the ball would fall into the frame. Pump basket out.

The ball slowly fell, affecting the hearts of everyone present.

"boom!"

The ball fell and hit the rim again, then popped out of the frame.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and the annoyance on their faces was beyond words.

But at this moment, a huge body suddenly jumped up, and then grabbed the basket that popped up, and without stopping in mid-air, pressed the ball fiercely towards the basket.

O'Neal!
Mutombo went to defend Kobe. Although Kobe was defended to death, O'Neal inevitably vacated. Seeing the ball popped out, how could he miss such an excellent opportunity.

"Oh!"

On the flat ground, there was a loud explosion, and O'Neal made a deduction and scored!
The Lakers lead by 2 points!
The fans at the scene let out a tsunami of shouts, and the "ok" group finally showed their ferocious fangs at the critical moment of the game.

There are less than 40 seconds left in the game.

D'Antoni didn't call a timeout. The Nuggets only have one last timeout left, and it's not the time to use it yet.

Miller controlled the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, Anthony landed at the free throw line, and the other Nuggets players consciously opened up space after running for a while.

Dikembe Mutombo at the basket also slammed into O'Neal, trying his best to occupy a favorable rebounding position.

"Defend! Defend!..."

In the tense atmosphere of the game, the fans in the audience stood up and shouted loudly for the home team. As long as the ball is kept, the probability of the Lakers winning will be greatly improved.

After Anthony took the ball, he glanced at the positioning of his teammates, and then leaned against George.

Knowing that Anthony has rich offensive methods, George focused on defending against Anthony while keeping some strength under his feet to prevent Anthony's sudden breakthrough.

Anthony leaned on George, and after feeling that the latter was not supporting him, he jumped up quickly. His speed was so fast that George didn't react at all.

Anthony made a large backward jumper with extremely firm eyes.

Aiming, flicking the wrist, shooting the ball, the ball crossed a high parabola and went straight to the basket.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the ball hitting the net.

The shouts of the standing fans suddenly froze.

On the bench of the Nuggets, the bench players who had already stood up erupted into fierce cheers instantly. You pushed and shoved each other. White and Elson waved towels with mission, venting their excitement.

This ball, like a touch of cold water poured on the hearts of the fans at the scene, and like a quick rescue pill pierced into the hearts of the Nuggets players, the two sides had diametrically opposite reactions.

"Beautiful!" Johnson in the commentary swung his fist violently. As a fan of Anthony, at this moment, he stood unswervingly on his side.

"It's tied again. There are still 30 seconds left in the game. The fans watching this game must be very nervous..." Brown said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The Lakers also had only one last timeout left, and Jackson called decisively.

The head coaches on both sides, whether it's "Mustache" or "Zen Master", are all spitting and talking to the players at this time, and the next few tens of seconds will determine the final trend of the game.

"beep!"

The timeout is coming soon, and players from both sides are on the field.

The fans at the scene were all standing, each of them not letting out a breath, staring at the field intently.

The Lakers quickly sent out a sideline ball. Payton controlled the ball at a distance of one meter from the three-point line, looked up at the timer, and consumed the final attack time.

At the same time, other times were scattered around the field, standing motionless.

The time went by second by second, and soon entered within 15 seconds.

At this moment, Kobe ran up suddenly, and Malone blocked him just right, and then George also made a second pick-and-break wall for him.

Kobe successfully pocketed it, and Payton's pass arrived immediately.

Bell staggered and rushed forward at this time, desperately bypassing the two pick-and-rolls, and landed in front of Kobe.

There are only ten seconds left in the game, and the Lakers' offensive time is less than 4 seconds.

Kobe took a step forward with his right foot, squeezed Bell back a little, glanced at the basket, and jumped up suddenly.

Bell also jumped up, but perhaps due to lack of physical strength, coupled with the consumption of two consecutive pick-and-rolls, it was obviously half a beat slower at this moment.

Bryant's shot is soft, the ball spins out of his hands, and heads straight for the basket.

Everyone in the audience focused their eyes on the spinning ball, as if they were hooked.
