play for it

Chapter 85

Facing everyone's eyes, Yang Ke was very calm. As for Carly's excited and wise objection, he chose to ignore it. Now that he has returned to the sidelines, it means that he has made a decision to play again.

Staring at Borrego, Yang Ke knew very well that Borrego had the final decision whether he could play or not, so he said, "Coach, a good start is a good end, let me fight until the last moment!"

"..."

Borrego frowned and remained silent. He was very excited about Yang Ke playing again. After all, he also didn't want to lose the game. With Ford's injury unknown, it was the best choice to play Yang Ke.

However, what Carly said made him very entangled. Bare feet are a very important part for that kind of athlete. Once there are sequelae, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Ugh!"

Borrego sighed deeply, and gradually let go of his clenched hands. He saw a determined look in Yang Ke's eyes.

He closed his eyes, nodded slowly, and agreed to Yang Ke's request to play again. Now that he has no reason to stop it, he can only hope that in the last 2 minutes of the game, Yang Ke's ankle will not be hurt again. cause unexpected effects.

Finally, when the timeout was over, Borrego suppressed the excited Carly and waved his hand. With 2 minutes left in the game, Yang Ke officially returned to the game, greeted everyone in the Spurs, and slowly stepped onto the court.

Watching Yang Ke come back to the game, the expression on Kobe's face changed subtly. When the players from both sides passed each other, Yang Ke didn't dodge. He stared at Kobe and met Kobe's eyes.

"Are you still planning to give up? Fighting against the injury on your ankle, you want to play?"

Kobe stopped in front of Yang Ke, his eyes quickly swept across his body, Yang Ke had already taken off all the protective gear and straps at this time, he could clearly see that Yang Ke's right foot was still red and swollen.

"The result of the outcome is not yet determined, and everything is unknown before the finale."

Yang Ke spoke calmly, but his mood was very complicated. He seemed to have some understanding of the thoughts of that genius chess player and the intelligent machine. The unexplainable feeling made him suffer all the time, but it was because he had That feeling will persist in the fight to the end.

The desire to win, the persistence of promises...

With his mouth raised, Kobe walked towards the frontcourt again, and did not speak to Yang Ke again. The offensive power is in the hands of the Lakers, and Barnes and Sessions will cooperate to serve from the baseline, so he needs to run to the front in advance. Field settling.

Since the Spurs did not use the full-court press, the Lakers easily sent the baseline ball. When Sessions dribbled the ball to the center line, Yang Ke directly entangled it. Under Yang Ke's entanglement and interference, Sessions spent nine minutes. It took a lot of effort to pass the ball to Kobe.

The players on both sides and even the audience and fans are very clear that in the final stage of the game, no matter how good he was in the game that night, as long as he still has a chance to win the game, Kobe will take the initiative to take over the game. This is Kobe's extreme confidence in himself.

Kobe took the ball to face Leonard's defense, and put on a three-threat posture. The other Lakers players opened up the space tacitly. Yang Ke knew without thinking that Kobe was going to play singles.

This time, Yang Ke stood within the three-point line and did not choose to leave with Sessions. His attention was almost entirely on Kobe.

In the last minute or so of the fourth quarter, compared to the threat of Kobe playing singles with the ball, it was nothing to open up Sessions. You must know that Kobe often believes in himself to end the game at the last moment of the game. Will pass the ball to teammates.

Kobe dribbled the ball with his back, his body leaned against Leonard, and his left and right shoulders shook wildly continuously. The coherent movements of true and false successfully confused Leonard.Leonard couldn't judge the direction of his turn, so he could only stretch his hands as far as possible, waiting for Kobe's final turn.

Kobe finally turned around quickly, but he still hid his mind. Facing Leonard's long arm, Kobe suddenly turned right, as if to break through from Leonard's right.

But when Leonard subconsciously moved to the right, Kobe suddenly changed direction, kicked his legs hard on the floor, and forcibly changed the direction, rushing from Leonard's left side. To the restricted area.

This sudden change of direction turned Leonard away, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Kobe took the ball and rushed to the inside for two quick steps, then made an emergency stop, and shot a jumper near the free throw line.

But just when the basketball was about to leave Kobe's hands, a black shadow rushed over from one side at high speed, jumped up high, and at the same time, with his straight outstretched right arm, slammed the basketball that had just flown out into the air. go out.

"Kobe beat Kawhi Leonard, created good shots, made mid-range jumpers... WOW, what did we see..."

"At the critical moment, Yang, who came to supplement the defense, jumped up high like a seal, capped Kobe's ball, and slapped the ball out of the court..."

"But the ball is still on the Lakers' side..."

Both feet landed on the ground, and Yang Ke frowned at the pain from his right foot under the force, but it was also fleeting. With a wave of his arm, he was very excited to block Kobe.

"Nice job!"

With a cold light in his eyes, Kobe stared at Yang Ke with a gloomy face, gave a cold and meaningful compliment, then turned and walked out of the three-point line, ready to catch the ball.

Yang Ke was smiling at this, Leonard walked over, with a little remorse on his face, and said with guilt: "Yang, just now, thank you!"

"This is what I should do."

Yang Ke shook his head. Leonard didn't need to blame himself for not guarding against Kobe and giving him a chance to make a move at a critical moment. Yang Ke said solemnly: "We are a team, don't let individuals bear the burden." Too much."

"That's exactly what I want to say to you, too."

Nodding his head, Leonard reached out and patted Yang Ke on the shoulder. This friend of his had no less burden than him. Then Leonard turned and left, quickly following Kobe.

Everything I bear is my responsibility!
Looking at the back of Leonard leaving, Yang Ke sighed, and Yang Ke immediately withdrew his eyes, ran to the sidelines, and stood in front of Sessions who was about to serve, with his arms raised high, interfering with his sight.

With the sound of the referee's whistle, Kobe took Leonard and started to run directly. Under the screen pick-and-roll of Gasol, he ran around the three-point line, creating an additional range of options for Sessions. Bryant quickly received the serve from Sessions.

Holding the basketball, Kobe didn't stop at the slightest. Facing Leonard, he jumped up quickly with both feet. His right hand held the ball firmly with his left hand to protect the ball. The ground presents three perfect ninety-degree right angles.

The next second, when Leonard reacted and jumped up, Kobe had already dialed the ball out, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell straight into the net.

Swish!
