Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 140 Overtime
"Shaquille has fouled five times, and there are still 2 minutes in the game. As long as he is beaten down, we have a great hope of winning." Anthony said before D'Antoni set up tactics.

D'Antoni nodded, and then said: "Let's play an air cut tactic and attack at the basket as much as possible. In this way, when the time comes, Melo will be in this position, Nene and Dikembe will be in this position, and Earl will run here." side……"

In the commentary, Johnson and Brown are communicating with each other sentence by sentence.

Brown looked at the Nuggets' bench, touched his chin, and said in a deep voice, "The white shooter of the Nuggets really shouldn't be underestimated. Let's not talk about the three-pointers he is good at, just the one who defended against Kobe just now." The ball is much better than before."

Johnson smiled: "I just noticed what Melo communicated with him. The previous Laga and the current Earl must have played a certain role with Melo. As a rookie, Melo has already Leadership is really not easy."

Brown nodded, looked away from the Nuggets' bench, turned to the Lakers' bench, looked at it for a while and then said: "I don't think Kobe's face is very good. In the next round, I don't know how the Lakers will play." What tactics to play."

"Kobe, he is just too competitive. If he can calm down, he will definitely achieve better results." Johnson, as a person who has experienced it, said helplessly.

"Kobe's competitiveness is destined to be such a player." Brown did not make too many comments.

As soon as he finished speaking, the whistle blew on the sidelines, and the players on both sides returned to the playing field after a short 20-second timeout.

At this time, there are exactly 2 minutes before the end of the game.

The Lakers' offense was over halftime, and Payton pressed the time at the top of the arc. He didn't signal George to come up for the pick-and-roll until 10 seconds into the offensive time, and then handed the ball into Kobe's hands.

Obviously, even if Kobe didn't score before, Jackson's trust in him remained unchanged.

To say that Kobe is also a person who can afford to hold and let go, facing Korver again at this moment, he put away his contempt, and after getting the ball, he started to hit back, and after a few hits, he suddenly made a big blow Turn around, break through quickly, and then stop and shoot.

Although Korver tried his best, he still couldn't keep up with Kobe, so he could only watch Kobe make a move.

With a bang, Kobe regained a 5-point lead for the Lakers, and they still held the initiative. At this time, there were only one minute and thirty seconds left before the end of the game.

Anthony's expression didn't change much at the moment, and Kobe's scoring was within his expectations. If he couldn't score this time, then he wouldn't be Kobe.

The Nuggets' offense, according to the coach's tactical arrangement, Anthony used the reverse run and Korver's pick-and-roll to cut directly to the basket, and Miller's pass was also passed at the first time.

As soon as Anthony received the ball, he rushed towards the basket like a running beast.

Malone saw Anthony coming aggressively, and stood in his position to block his attacking route.

But at this moment, Anthony suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, made a "whoosh" in front of Malone, turned around on the spot, and passed Malone cleanly.

O'Neal was guarding the basket at this time. Seeing Anthony's actions, he showed a smile on his face. After making adjustments, at this time, relying on his defensive advantage, the probability of defending the ball is at least [-]% to [-]%.

Anthony saw O'Neal coming up, and stretched out his hand to make a shooting motion. At this time, O'Neal had already rushed up, completely blocking Anthony's layup route.

Seeing that Anthony has lost the space for a layup at this time, and he is spinning, it is impossible to pass the ball.

There was a hint of excitement in the eyes of the fans at the scene. As long as Anthony's ball was defended, the Lakers led by five points and still controlled the ball, the game was basically won.

"It's a pity..." Brown sighed when he saw Anthony's situation.

"Good idea..." Johnson looked at the scoreboard at this time, but said with a smile.

"What?" Brown asked suspiciously, not understanding what Johnson meant by this.

"beep!"

At this moment, a whistle sounded suddenly on the field.

O'Neill thug foul!
The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

"This..." Brown looked at the sudden change, but didn't react.

"Melo's purpose is not layup, he is to make Shaquille's foul." Johnson explained with a smile at this time.

Brown was surprised when he heard this, and looked up at the field. Anthony was smiling all over his face at this time. Obviously, what Johnson said was right.

O'Neill had a bitter face at this time. He was sure that he had been able to block Anthony, but for some reason, Anthony sent his hand directly to him.

It wasn't until the "snap" that he realized that this was a trap set by Anthony, with the purpose of causing fouls.

Although helpless, O'Neal still walked off the field helplessly.

Coach Jackson on the sidelines also shook his head helplessly. O'Neill has such rich experience and was caught. It can only be said that Anthony's trap is too realistic. Although he is the coach, he has no choice but to step forward and shoot the player's judgment. Pat O'Neill on the shoulder to show comfort.

Anthony stood on the free throw line with a smile on his face, completely ignoring the boos of the fans, and made two free throws steadily, once again narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

O'Neal was sent off, and the Lakers' offensive pressure was all on Kobe. After halftime, the star's singles mode instantly started.

Anthony saw that Kobe was playing singles, and immediately went to double-team without hesitation. He knew Kobe, and the possibility of Kobe passing the ball was zero in this kind of pin-point moment.

"Melo went to double-team, George is empty now, it's too risky!" Brown said worriedly when he saw Anthony's move.

Johnson didn't speak at this time, but focused on Kobe thoughtfully.

Anthony came to double-team Kobe, and Kobe saw it right away, but he didn't pass the ball. Before Anthony came up, he turned sharply to the right, dribbled the ball to the right a few times, and shot a jumper.

Anthony had already reached it at this time, and jumped up and went straight to Kobe.

Kobe was preparing to make a shot in mid-air, but Anthony's sudden kill caught him off guard. He didn't expect Anthony to be so fast. In order to prevent being blocked, he directly shot early.

The ball spun and flew towards the basket.

"Dangdang!"

There was a crisp sound, and the fans at the scene were in an uproar.

Without O'Neal's inside line, Mutombo slammed the veteran Grant and grabbed the rebound.

"Kobe is too persistent..." Johnson shook his head in disappointment when he saw this.

On the Nuggets' next possession, after Anthony drew a double-team, he passed the ball to Nene at the free throw line, who scored a jumper for two more points for the Nuggets.

Looking back, Kobe continued to go it alone, and Anthony's defense once again let his offense fail. The fans at the scene were noisy at this time, and they obviously did not expect Kobe to miss twice in a row.

Brown looked at Kobe at this time, and then at Johnson. He finally understood what Johnson said before. Kobe's competitive spirit is inevitably hurting the Lakers at the moment.

With 40 seconds left in the game, the Nuggets still had the last chance to attack. Anthony was still playing singles with the ball at the free throw line. Go-ahead game.

The on-site camera was naturally aimed at O'Neal. The core insider of the Lakers looked depressed at this time, frowning and looking very helpless.

There was a sudden deathly silence at the scene, only Nene's beast-like roar echoed. In just over a minute, the Nuggets miraculously overtook. Although O'Neal's end was a great loss to the Lakers, who I didn't expect the Nuggets to overtake the score.

Jackson also called the second timeout of overtime.

"Will the Lakers play Kobe for the next ball..." Brown looked at the score on the field and asked with mixed feelings.

"This... depends on Jackson's judgment..." Johnson was also quite helpless. As a legend of the Lakers, he had communicated with Kobe in private, but obviously, the communication between the two was not so smooth.

Soon, the timeout was up. The Lakers made free throws from the backcourt. Payton controlled the ball and pressed the time in the backcourt. At this time, there were still about 27 or 8 seconds before the game. Wait for time, and then hit the lore, win if you score, and end the game if you don't score.

Payton has been pressing the time, the time has entered 20 seconds, and then entered 15 seconds, the ball is still in Payton's hands, and the other four players of the Lakers are completely dispersed.

The fans on the sidelines were in an uproar. It seems that the Lakers are going to let Payton play singles?

Within 10 seconds of the game, Payton had already started singles with the ball.

Miller pressed his body against Payton and prevented him from shooting.

At this moment, a figure suddenly came over from the right side.

When Anthony saw the figure, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Kobe is allowed to catch the ball!"

Anthony was alert quickly, but still a bit slower, Kobe ran over, and Payton passed the ball quickly.

Kobe didn't stop after receiving the ball.

The body jumped up, and Kobe made a shot while drifting. Korver also jumped up at this time, but was blocked by Kobe's drift.

The ball flew out of Kobe's hands.

All the fans at the scene stood up, all staring at the ball, not daring to take a breath.

Staples, who was so noisy, was so peaceful at the moment.
