In the next round, it was the Laker's turn to attack.
The game was now in the last 30 seconds, and the Raptors were still one point behind.
At this time, they chose to mark the whole field and began to defend in the backfield of the Los Angeles team. What they had to do now was to try to destroy the passing of the Los Angeles team.
The Clippers let Gasol serve. With his height, long arms, and good vision, he had a big advantage in serving.
The Raptors were most concerned about Kobe and Xue Feng in their defense. They would rather let the others get an opening than let Xue Feng or Kobe receive the ball.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Xue Feng and Kobe to find an empty spot by simply running.
Suddenly, Xue Feng and Kobe ran to the right side of the three-point line. Then, Xue Feng gave Kobe a no-ball cover.
Xue Feng's cover was a last-minute idea, and it was very fast.
Kobe used this opportunity to successfully get rid of the defense and reach the top of the three-point line.
DeRozan, who had been defending against Kobe previously, had a hard time catching up to Kobe because of Xue Feng's obstruction.
Gasol immediately seized the opportunity and passed the ball out.
After receiving the ball, Kobe began to push the ball into the front court. Although DeRozan rushed over to stop him, he still managed to successfully dribble the ball past the half court with his experience and skills.
After walking past the center circle, Kobe did not continue forward. Instead, he dribbled in place. He was now standing two meters away from the three-point line.
DeRozan, who was defending against him, also knew Kobe's intention, which was to press for time.
What Kobe was thinking about now was to use up the 24 seconds of attack time in this round so that the Raptors would have as little time to attack as possible.
DeRozan stood one meter in front of Kobe and began to defend. He was very focused.
He knew that he had no way out. If he couldn't defend against the ball, the chances of the Raptors winning the game would be slim!
The rest of the players on the team stayed put after finding their positions. They were all waiting for Kobe's signal to attack.
The numbers on the timer kept jumping, and the time for the Laker's offense was also running out.
When there were only 10 seconds left in the attack time, Kobe began to move.
He made a gesture as he slowly dribbled forward, and Gasol immediately brought him outside the three-point line to play a pick-and-roll.
Gasol's pick-and-roll was of excellent quality and successfully helped Kobe block DeRozan's defensive route.
Then Kobe completed a breakthrough from the right wing. At the same time, Gasol turned around and began to cut into the paint.
Although DeRozan had been delayed by Gasol, he quickly went around to pick up and roll, and now he was behind Kobe.
The Raptors 'power forward also came out to fill in the defense, just outside the three-second zone. This also blocked Kobe's original pass to Gasol.
Gasol failed, and the Raptors 'power forwards immediately rushed forward to defend.
Two steps away from the three-point line, Kobe was surrounded by two players!
At this moment, Xue Feng appeared at the bottom corner of the three-point line and was reaching out for the ball.
"Bang!"
Kobe passed the ball to avoid the Raptors 'double team and successfully passed the ball out.
After receiving the ball, Xue Feng faked a shot. He had already raised the ball above his head and tiptoed slightly.
Fields was fooled by such a realistic shooting action. He immediately pounced on Xue Feng.
After all, in Fields 'eyes, Xue Feng had the ability to make three-pointers.
Just as Fields jumped, Xue Feng immediately put the ball away.
Then, he placed the racket on the ground and dodged Fields, who was charging at him. He began to dribble forward and completed the breakthrough.
After passing Fields, he continued to take two steps forward, directly collected the ball, jumped, and raised his arm!
But at this moment, the Raptors 'center, Valanciunas, had also arrived to fill in the defense.
Although the defensive position was not close to his face, he still jumped with all his strength, wanting to use his height and arm length to block Xue Feng.
However, Xue Feng had long expected the inside line to come to make up for the defense.
Therefore, his shot was not an ordinary shot.
Instead, it was one of Kobe's signature moves, the fadeaway drift!
A large amount of back-facing and a drift to the left made it impossible for Valancionas to block Xue Feng's attack.
“wow! Xue used Kobe's signature move, a fadeaway drift shot! This was the move that had been used for most of Kobe's final shots in his career!”
"Yes, I am! That's right! I thought Kobe would still use this move to kill the game, but today he gave Xue Feng the chance!”
"The ball is out! Valanchunas did not block it!”
“oh! The ball's route is very straight, could it be?"
"Swoosh!"
The basketball hit the target steadily!
After the fans held their breaths, they finally burst into waves of screams and cheers!
