They had to defend against the Raptors 'attack!
As for the Raptors, they were leading by more than ten points. They were supposed to win.
But now, because of the appearance of a Chinese player who performed well, their advantage was gone.
They had to score this attack now and continue to maintain their lead.
In the blink of an eye, Lori moved the ball to the front field.
The players of the Laker were trying their best to defend, while the players of the Raptors were constantly running and blocking, not giving in to each other.
Lori spent a lot of effort to successfully pass the ball to DeRozan. Facing Kobe's defense, DeRozan directly chose to play hard.
He dribbled a series of dribbles outside the three-point line to shake Kobe's center of gravity. Then, he turned around and passed Kobe. After all, Kobe's defensive ability and reaction speed were not as good as before he was injured.
DeRozan, who had entered the paint, jumped and shot a mid-range jump shot.
Xue Yun rushed to DeRozan's side from the flank and jumped up with all his might.
He was not standing in front of DeRozan, but next to him, which helped him block the ball.
After DeRozan realized that Xue Feng was about to block him, he deliberately raised his attack point, but it was useless.
When he threw the ball, Xue Feng's fingertips still touched the basketball.
Although he did not touch it with much force, he still touched it!
When the basketball flew close to the basket, its parabola was obviously much lower than a regular shot.
When the basketball fell, it flew over the bottom of the net.
After being blocked by Xue Feng, DeRozan threw an air ball!
Xue Feng had once again made a great contribution in defense!
Gasol, who was in a good position under the basket, jumped hard and caught the basketball in his hand.
Kobe immediately went forward to get the ball, and the Laker team began to attack.
After he came to the position outside the three-point line, DeRozan firmly defended in front of him.
Kobe first tried to play solo, but DeRozan's defense was not weak. Kobe, who had not recovered to his best condition, was still unable to break through the young and energetic DeRozan's defense.
At this time, Gasol came out to play a pick-and-roll for him. With the pick-and-roll, his breakthrough became much easier.
Kobe bypassed DeRozan's defense and rushed into the three-point line from the right.
Gasol then made a cut to the basket. The Raptors 'power forward had already moved in front of Kobe. Gasol was now in an empty position.
Kobe lobbed the ball and passed it to Gasol.
At this time, the Raptors 'center came up and blocked Gasol's path.
Just as Gasol was thinking about how to deal with the ball, he saw Xue Feng suddenly rush into the three-point line from the end line. He passed the ball to the latter without any thought.
Xue Feng had finally found an empty spot after continuously running around.
He received a pass from Gasol when he was two steps inside the left end line. There was no defender in front of him now.
He started dribbling and continued to rush toward the basket. When he dribbled to a reasonable collision zone, he started to jump.
"Boom!"
The basket made a muffled sound!
Xue Feng's arms hung on the basket.
After Xue Feng found the space to shoot through his off-the-ball movement, he once again performed a gliding chop for the audience!
His slam dunk was undoubtedly inspiring, because after this goal, the Los Angeles Clippers successfully took the lead!
There was only one minute left before the end of the game. Within nine minutes of Xue Feng's appearance, the Los Angeles Clippers went from a 14-point lead to a 2-point lead!
In nine minutes, they had completed a 16-point reversal!
And Xue Feng's current score had also reached 16 points!
Most importantly, Xue Feng had only missed one shot.
After he entered the game in the fourth quarter, he scored 16 points with a high shooting rate of 7 out of 8!
He was the biggest contributor to the team's success in taking the lead!
"Beep!"
The referee whistled again.
Immediately after, the commentator signaled for the Raptors to apply for a time-out.
After the score was reversed, the head coach of the Raptors began to panic. At the same time, the mentality of the players on the field was more or less affected.
Therefore, he chose to use a time-out to adjust his mentality and arrange his next tactics.
The mental state of the players of the Los Angeles Clippers was the most relaxed since the start of the game because they had successfully taken the lead.
To be more precise, the scales of victory had begun to tilt in their favor.
On the substitutes 'bench, the manager, D'Antoni, began to arrange the tactics for the last minute.
At the end of the time-out, when the players were ready to continue playing, the coach said one last thing.
"Everyone did a good job just now, especially Xue. It's no exaggeration to say that you saved the Lakers tonight!
There's only one minute left. As long as you maintain your previous state, victory will be ours!
For Kobe's comeback, for the team's victory, come on!”
"The Laker team will win!"
Finally, the players shouted the last sentence, and their fighting spirit rose again.
Every single one of them had a very determined look in their eyes. All they wanted to do was to win this match.
