One Guard

　　 Sitting in the first row on the sidelines, Vignali looked up and glanced at the score on the big screen, 88 to 75.

With 1 minute and 05 seconds left, outside the left-wing three-point line, a Lakers player wearing the No. 24 jersey quickly dribbled the ball from the backcourt to here, pulled up and shot.

I don’t know if it’s because of being too tired or something else. This No. 24 shot is no longer "picturesque", but rather exhausted.

A flat three-pointer hit the front of the basket. Mavericks reserve center Massimmi jumped high and grabbed the rebound.

The 13-point gap is still the same. Most of the fans on the scene and in front of the TV lowered their heads impatiently, played with their phones, or discussed with their friends where to have a late night snack.

Yes, 13 points behind in the last minute, what can be the suspense in this game?

But the Lakers fans don't think so. As long as the 24th is still on the court, they think there is still a chance for the game!

The Mavericks attacked, and Barea, who reached the basket, was knocked directly to the ground by the furious Bynum. The unwilling "little shark" vented his anger, but it had no substantial effect. Barea got to the free throw line, and the Lakers continued to lose points.

The defender, who used shooting as the survival capital of the NBA, made two free throws and the point difference became 15 points.

Even so, the Lakers fans still did not give up. The miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes was not unheard of, not to mention that the Lakers still have a full minute to go. Most importantly, that number 24, he is still on the court...

The Lakers re-attended, Kobe took the ball, accelerated on the right side, rushed halfway, and suddenly stopped to shoot a jumper.

When Kobe speeded up the sprint and stopped suddenly, he felt that his injured leg didn't seem to be his own. He was so numb with pain that he didn't even feel the pain.

Therefore, Kobe's shot is not high, and his shot is very stiff. Stevenson interfered in time, the basketball had a higher angle, and was rejected by the basket again after rebounding.

Excited Masinmi once again got the rebounds in his pocket, Kobe Bryant, the shot failed!

"Damn!" Phil cursed off the court, and Kobe's patience and stamina had almost been exhausted to the limit. The guy was sweating profusely, and even limped when he retreated.

But "Zen Master" can't take him down, because if he takes him down, it means that Phil Jackson personally admitted the failure of the game!

What happens after admitting failure? The Los Angeles Lakers will return to Los Angeles with a huge disadvantage of being behind 0-2. As a champion godfather, it is not easy for him to make such a decision.

The Lakers' defense seemed so fragile. Peja connected to the basketball on the left three-point line. All Lakers fans became nervous.

Artest, who was criticized by Kobe after the last game, was engrossed, hoping to guard the ball and use this as a turning point to completely reverse the game.

Thinking of this, Artest patted the basketball vigorously, but the experienced Peja saw through Artest's intentions. I saw Peja move his hands, and with a "pop", Artestza slapped Artestza firmly on the back of his hand.

The referee blew his whistle, and Phil Jackson covered his face in disappointment. This is the sixth team foul of the Lakers in this quarter, which means that Peja will stand directly on the free throw line.

The Lakers fans were heartbroken and wished to sack Artest. But they still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts. That number 24, he's still there...

Peja stood on the free throw line. The shooting forward who once played gorgeously in "The King" did not miss. The first free throw was steady and the sound of the Nets rolled, as if the Lakers fans heard the death knell.

At this time, the Lakers made a staff adjustment.

Bryant heard someone calling his name, he turned his head and looked, Shannon Brown was already in place, and Phil Jackson was beckoning to himself. Could it be...

"Phil Jackson replaced Kobe, he replaced Kobe Bryant with Shannon Brown. Audience friends, the game is over. The proud defending champion raised the white flag!" Mike Brin's commentary Most of the Lakers fans are very dissatisfied, but that's the truth.

Kobe, the Lakers flag in the No. 24 jersey walked off the court. This also means that the Los Angeles Lakers, who lost their souls, gave up this game.

When Kobe walked off the court, he squinted a glance at the Mavericks bench. Yiyang was sitting next to Carlisle at this moment. He looked expressionless, not knowing whether he was happy or unhappy.

Whether Yiyang is happy or unhappy, Kobe will remember the Chinese for life. Because he defeated himself twice in a row!

High-five with Shannon Brin, Kobe dragged a heavy step and walked towards the bench with a tired body.

"It's okay, you did your best." Jackson put Kobe in his arms and brought him to his place. However, Jackson's comfort seemed so pale and feeble.

From this moment on, the Lakers fans finally realized the fact that they lost, they will face the biggest crisis they have encountered in the playoffs in three years!

The 24th that always gives people hope, he is off...

"Today you did a good job of defense against Kobe." The garbage time continued, and Carlisle also turned his head and chatted with Yiyang.

"Kobe is injured." Yiyang's eyes were still staring at the court, but his mouth was talking to Carlisle.

"Ok."

"Then are we too victorious?"

"It is he who chooses to play, so he has to bear the result of making the choice. This is the playoffs. There is only victory and no fairness." Carlisle finished, and Chong Yiyang smiled. Always a child, Yiyang is still a little too emotional sometimes.

"Well, this is his own choice..." Yiyang nodded and said nothing.

In half a minute, the Lakers were already exhausted. In the stands behind Yiyang, the fans have raised their arms in the midst of the tsunami.

They kept this posture until the electronic buzzer that represented the end of the game sounded.

All the Mavericks players on the bench swarmed in and huddled together on the court. Yiyang stood in place, beside Carlisle.

81 to 93, a huge gap of 12 points. Perhaps before the start of this game, no one thought it would turn out to be like this.

The Lakers, which were reversed by the Mavericks in the last game, were completely suppressed today and did not play much at all.

Kobe made 9 of 20 shots and only had 23 points. You know, last season, "Black Mamba" averaged 29.2 points per game in the playoffs!

Looking at Kobe, who was walking in a desperate way, Yiyang felt a lot in his heart. He knew that the world was unfair, and he knew this truth from when Yiyang was still in the Wood District.

Today's game is unfair to Kobe. But what can it be? If you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose. The only thing the Lakers can do now is to put up more pressure to fight to the death, and what Yiyang has to do is to continue to defeat the Lakers' original intention in the next game.

The game is over, but the fans have not dispersed yet. Although the Mavericks have not yet qualified, no matter how many times the game wins, it will not be annoying.

"The Mavericks once again proved to everyone that blue will become the mainstream color in the NBA!" Mike Brin's words spread to the living rooms of countless families in Dallas, and fans immediately imagined that the Mavericks would advance to the Western Conference Finals or even The scene during the finals.

This kind of happiness surrounds every Mavericks fan.

Yiyang wanted to talk to Kobe, but as soon as he took a step, he was intercepted by an espn beauty reporter.

After that, more and more reporters rushed to Yiyang holding the topic. And Kobe's lonely figure disappeared from Yiyang's vision.

"Congratulations, also, you were named today's best player of the game by espn TV station! Talk about your defense against Kobe, Bryant has suffered a lot on you today!" The female reporter of espn couldn't wait. Asking questions, then blinking big eyes, full of expectation.

Everyone knows that Yiyang's 17 points and 8 assists today are not gorgeous at all. In terms of data, Nowitzki's 24 points and 7 rebounds are more attractive. The bigger reason why he was rated as the best in the game by various TV stations is that he frequently blocked the bloodthirsty "Black Mamba" on the offensive end.

Facing the interviews with reporters, Yiyang was not excited. He closed his face without showing the slightest smile.

People think that he completely locked up Kobe, but in fact, it was Kobe's physical condition that locked up himself.

"I just did what I should do. Bryant is an excellent player. Tonight is not his best game. I enjoy the feeling of playing against him, but today, I am against Kobe. Defense is not good at all."

After Yiyang finished speaking, he pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the player's passage, leaving only the reporters standing in place, with surprised expressions all over their faces.

The scoring limit of Kobe, the super scorer, is limited to 23 points, and he still has to pay 20 shots. In this way, Yiyang also said that his defense is not good enough? So, what kind of defense is outstanding!

Yiyang originally meant that Kobe didn't score high because of his own reasons, not because of how good his defense is today. But to reporters, it's not a feeling at all.

Facing Yiyang's answer, some reporters felt that Yiyang was too arrogant. Maybe a season plus the excellent performance in the playoffs has made this Chinese a little bit self-inflated?

In particular, some Los Angeles media are even more aggrieved by this. They already have countless vicious words in their hearts, and tomorrow morning's news will definitely be quite exciting.

Yiyang didn't know what the group of reporters thought of herself. When the Chinese boy walked into the player tunnel, she found that Vignali was already waiting for herself inside.

The unrestrained Italian girl was not shy~www.novelmtl.com~ After seeing Yiyang, she threw herself directly into Yiyang's arms.

"Don't, my whole body is sweaty." Yiyang pushed embarrassedly, for fear of staining Vignali's clothes.

"I just like the way you feel sweaty after playing." Unexpectedly, Vignali hugged tighter.

"You played really well today, and I hope I can perform as well as you next season. This summer, you have to accompany me in special training."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to support my training method." Yiyang looked at this girl who loves basketball with Yiyang and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"You too underestimate the star point guard of the Italian Women's Basketball League." Vignali let go of Yiyang and bulged up her muscles. In fact, the skinny Vignalie has no visible muscles at all.

"So, you are going to Los Angeles?" Vignali returned to Yiyang, took his arm, and walked slowly to the dressing room.

Yiyang looked around, and all the staff were immersed in joy. Before the game began, Yiyang did not expect that the game against the defending champion Lakers would be so triumphant.

City of Angels, Staples, fanatical atmosphere, and, that strong No. 24.

"Yes, we are going to Los Angeles!" Thinking of the above things, Yiyang felt extremely excited about the upcoming battle in Los Angeles.

In the crucial battle between Staples and the Los Angeles Lakers, the dream has become a reality...
