"How come there are so many chances?"
The big screen at the stadium also showed that they did lack focus or communication on the defensive end in the previous few rounds, and the Lakers managed to close the gap to 99-97 in the last 3 minutes.
"Both athletes gave it their all at this point."
Although Kobe did make those three-pointers in the last few possessions, and his shooting efficiency was quite good for several consecutive possessions, it still took a lot of effort for him, after all, he is no longer a young man.
Kobe is tired; this is a huge test!
"Three minutes left, can you hold on?"
The coach asked him.
The Zen Master highly values Kobe's individual offense, so he would naturally pay special attention to his health at this moment.
"I'm known for being as tough as steel, don't worry, I'm fine."
Kobe continued to persevere, and his teammates, seeing him and looking at the score, felt a surge of hope. The two-point difference was within reach for the Lakers; it was a matter of who could hold on until the very end.
After coming back up, Su Hao, having found his rhythm, made a mid-range jump shot.
"Looking at the regular season, he does have some mid-range jump shots, which is more than enough for him."
With a 4-point deficit, the Lakers have now handed the ball to Kobe, so they're definitely looking to play it safe, which is why they're using this tactic at this point.
"Alright, I'll see who comes out on top then. I don't believe he can keep up this amazing offensive style."
Curry came to defend Kobe. Although the two were not on the same level in terms of physical energy, after experiencing many games in the league, they didn't care about that anymore.
"Wow, that was a great shot, fantastic!"
After a breakthrough, he passed the ball to Odom, who was standing in the corner. Odom was a little confused, but following his instincts, he still threw the ball out. From the angle of the ball, there was nothing wrong with it, especially since he has a 37% three-point shooting percentage this season.
With a one-point difference, the Lakers players are now in high spirits, with the bench players waving towels and making a three-finger gesture.
Without panicking, Su Hao naturally used his advantages to fight the opponent at this time. After receiving the ball, he easily chased down the basket and scored a 2+1.
"It still has to be superstars. At such crucial moments, the power they give is truly remarkable, which is why many people feel that the ball should be given to them in the final, critical moments."
He managed to score 3 points on his own.
"There are only two minutes left, so it's a matter of who can use their trump card in the final moments."
The Lakers passed the ball to Odom again, and he raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer, but unfortunately the ball bounced out.
"It was so close! If that ball had gone in, it would have been legendary."
After grabbing the rebound, Su Hao carefully observed the situation and then passed the ball to Curry.
"Let's take it easy for now. Yes, no rush, let's take it slow."
