Chapter 611 Kobe missed another shot!
Bynum quickly passed the ball to Fisher, who then sprinted forward.
Upon reaching the designated location, Fisher didn't hesitate at all and decisively handed the basketball to Kobe hand by hand.
Kobe stood firmly with the ball in his hand, facing Gordon's defense.
He then placed both feet on the top of the arc and dribbled the ball repeatedly with his hands crossed, making the basketball fly up and down and bounce left and right in his hands.
At the same time, Kobe's eyes quickly swept across the court, his gaze precisely locking onto Su Hao, who was quite a distance away.
However, after only a slight hesitation of a second, Kobe made a resolute decision—to force a three-pointer!
Keep in mind that there is very little time left for the attack. If we don't act decisively now, we may miss this precious scoring opportunity.
Just as Kobe jumped to release his shot, Gordon also leaped high, attempting to disrupt him.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air, but ultimately it still mercilessly missed the basket.
Watching the basketball glide past the rim, Kobe shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly, "Why is my touch so bad today?"
Gordon, standing nearby, seized the opportunity to tease Kobe, saying, "Hey Kobe! Your shooting percentage is truly surprising!"
Faced with Gordon's teasing, Kobe remained expressionless and unresponsive, as if he didn't take Gordon's words to heart at all.
Next, it was the Clippers' turn to launch an attack.
Su Hao passed the ball to Paul George, who then quickly dribbled up the court.
After a brief pause in the frontcourt and a few simple dribbles, Paul George executed a graceful turn, skillfully avoiding the defenders' attempts to intercept him, and then accurately passed the ball to Curry.
The moment Curry received the pass, he sprinted towards the baseline.
The Lakers players looked bewildered, clearly surprised and puzzled that Curry hadn't chosen to shoot immediately. They stared intently at Curry's every move, afraid that the slightest carelessness would allow the opponent to score easily.
Generally speaking, whenever a situation like today occurs, Curry will never let go of any opportunity to shoot a three-pointer when he receives the ball and faces a wide-open shot.
After all, with Curry's amazing shooting percentage, he has nearly a 40% chance of hitting the basket every time he throws the basketball.
However, unexpectedly, this time Curry did not choose to shoot directly, but instead dribbled the basketball to the corner.
Just as Curry dribbled the ball to the corner, Fisher, who had been closely marking him, immediately followed and took up a favorable defensive position.
Curry suddenly stopped in the corner, leaned back slightly, and made a shooting motion.
Seeing this, the experienced Fisher did not dare to be negligent and quickly jumped up to try to block Curry's shot.
But who would have thought that all of this was just a carefully designed feint by Curry!
In the blink of an eye, just as Fisher leaped high into the air, Curry suddenly changed direction, easily breaking through Fisher's tight defense like lightning, and then sprinted towards the paint without hesitation.
At this moment, the Lakers players guarding the paint also sensed the approaching danger. They all sprang into action, quickly moving their feet to try and block Curry's path to the basket.
However, Curry's reaction speed was just too fast!
He deftly seized the perfect moment in mid-air and deftly tossed the basketball into the air.
With a loud "bang," the basketball struck the backboard precisely and bounced into the basket.
A deafening roar of gasps and cheers erupted from the sidelines of the stadium.
After the Lakers inbounded the ball, Kobe Bryant caught it steadily.
In an instant, his eyes became exceptionally sharp, as if burning with fierce fighting spirit.
Clearly, he has made up his mind to take matters into his own hands and lead the team in a powerful counterattack.
Kobe dribbled incredibly fast, reaching the frontcourt in the blink of an eye.
Facing Gordon's defense, he skillfully used various feints and changes of direction, easily disorienting his opponent.
Immediately afterwards, Kobe suddenly stopped, then leaped high into the air, flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew over Gordon's head toward the basket.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc through the air and swished through the net.
In these two rounds, Su Hao didn't even touch the ball.
Fortunately, Curry scored.
However, even when Kobe scored, he didn't narrow the score gap by much.
Fortunately, they haven't given up yet.
The Los Angeles Lakers continued their fierce offensive without losing heart.
This time, the ball was in the hands of the experienced veteran Fisher.
He skillfully dribbled the ball quickly forward to the frontcourt, facing Curry's tight defense.
However, Fisher did not choose to launch an attack himself. Instead, he stood firmly outside the three-point line, calmly assessing the positions of his teammates on the court, looking for the best time to pass the ball, and trying to deliver the ball to his teammates accurately.
With the shot clock ticking away and time running out, Fisher knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. He made a decisive move, flicking his wrist to pass the ball to Kobe at the top of the key.
Kobe received the ball and jumped instantly, throwing it powerfully toward the basket.
Unfortunately, the angle of the shot was slightly off, and the basketball, after arcing through the air, grazed the rim and flew straight out of bounds.
And just like that, possession of the ball changed hands and returned to the Clippers.
Paul George received the serve and dribbled the ball rapidly towards the frontcourt.
Just past the center line, he reacted quickly and passed the ball to Su Hao, who had been waiting for a long time.
Su Hao caught the ball steadily, and the Lakers players, seeing this, were on high alert, rushing towards him as quickly as possible. After all, they knew very well that in this offensive possession, the Clippers would most likely entrust the final shot to the exceptionally skilled Su Hao.
At this moment, Su Hao gripped the basketball tightly with one hand, standing steadily in the three-second zone.
The Lakers' twin towers in the paint—Gasol and Bynum—moved in unison, forming an impenetrable double-team around Su Hao.
These two men were well aware that it was simply a pipe dream to completely restrain Su Hao's attacks with just their own strength.
Without hesitation, they signaled to their teammates to come together and form a tight encirclement, trapping Su Hao inside.
