Chapter 157 Lore, anti-lore, buzzer

Li Ran subconsciously handed the ball to Anthony.

Anthony came to the frontcourt, signaled his teammates to calm down, and also told his teammates that he wanted to hit this lore.

As the man with the highest lore shooting percentage in the league and as the core of the Nuggets, he is certainly qualified to do so.

And he did.

Facing Ariza's defense that was almost sticking to him, Anthony took it easy, leaned his back a few times, then turned around and shot.

The ball plunged into the net under the eyes of everyone.

The entire arena instantly boiled.

The game finally got back on track at the last moment.

Phil Jackson immediately called the Lakers' final timeout.

The Nuggets cheered loudly as if they had won the game.

Only Li Ran remained calm. He pulled Anthony, who was still pointing at his temple with his fingers, and walked off the court.

"Melo, the game is not over yet!"

That's right, with 5.6 seconds left in the game, the Lakers still have a chance.

You know, the number 24 on the opposite side is the only man who can be compared with Anthony in terms of lore.

With only one last chance left, George Karl replaced Anthony and O'Neal without hesitation, and put on Chris Anderson and Mason.

With Billups, Nene and Li Ran, this is the strongest defensive lineup for the Nuggets.

Everyone knows that just like the Nuggets' last attack must be Anthony, the Lakers' last attack must also be Kobe.

Li Ran took over the task of defending Kobe without hesitation, just like he had always done in this game.

He also realized now why he was not as comfortable defending Kobe as he was defending others.

His defensive ability is inherited from Kobe.

Even so, he's the best Nuggets player to limit Kobe.

After the kick-off, Birdman Anderson stood in front of Gasol who was about to serve from the center line, waving his arms desperately.

Others are stubbornly stuck in the way others catch the ball.

It wasn't until the serve time was running out that Gasol sent the ball with difficulty.

Fisher received the ball and handed it to Kobe immediately.

At this time, there were less than four seconds left.

Li Ran immediately stood in front of Kobe.

He has a strong premonition that Kobe will definitely choose to shoot the ball directly.

Sure enough, as he thought, Kobe made a fake shot after receiving the ball, and then took off without hesitation.

Li Ran immediately jumped up, stretched out his hand and reached forward as far as he could.

A slight touch from the fingertips made Li Ran's heart skip a beat.

bumped into!
The big picture is set!

He looked back as soon as he landed.

Then, Li Ran's pupils shrank.

Sure enough, the ball was interfered by him, and the raised arc ball directly hit the outside of the ring and bounced high.

However, under Li Ran's unbelievable eyes, the ball fell straight into the basket after falling.

At the same time, the game time is officially reset to zero!
Under the watchful eyes of countless horrified fans holding their heads, Kobe beat the Nuggets at the last minute with a buzzer lore!
After the game, when he returned to his apartment, Li Ran tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time.

His mind is full of replaying every detail of today's game.

This is the first time he has such a strong desire not to lose a game.

22 points and 11 rebounds, 20+10 in the playoffs is already a perfect score for Li Ran.

O'Neal had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Anthony had 24 points and 7 rebounds.

Although Anthony scored the team's highest score, it took a full 21 shots to get it.

"If Melo can take fewer shots, this game should be easy to win. There is no chance for Kobe to make a lore."

With such thoughts in mind, Li Ran finally fell into a deep sleep at dawn.

The Pepsi Center training hall on the second day was lifeless.

Kobe stole the first game of the series at his own home court, which is undoubtedly a blow to the Nuggets, who have played smoothly throughout the playoffs.

The more critical this moment is, the more the team should stabilize their mentality.

Not only George Karl is aware of this problem, but Billups is also aware of it.

When he was preparing for the game, he called the players together and spoke with a relaxed expression.

"Hey, guys, it's just a game loss, it's not the end of the world, Kobe Bryant, no one can guarantee that he will be guarded, not even Jaylen Rose."

Without hesitation, Billups pulled out a certain unlucky guy and whipped the corpse, which caused a burst of laughter from his teammates.

Sure enough, with the help of his cold joke, the atmosphere of the team became a little more relaxed.

"Li's defense is also perfect. We didn't have any problems in the last game. To sum it up, the next game is still our home game, so we will come back."

Billups clapped his hands, swept away the absent-minded Anthony without any sign, and encouraged his teammates loudly.

O'Neill also stood up.

"Yes, brothers, you know, I have four rings."

He stretched out four fingers to gesture, and the smug look on his face caused another burst of laughter from the team members.

"We were in Los Angeles that year, and we were caught off guard by Allen. But we still won that round of the finals 4-1."

Everyone knows that it was Iverson's battle of the gods, with 48 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. He just stepped on the OK combination and gave them their only loss in the playoffs.

With O'Neill's testimony, the team members obviously relaxed.

"The bottom line is, I don't want him to have the same number of rings as I do. This series, we're going to win."

O'Neill clenched his sandbag-sized fist and said with a grim face.

Although he and Kobe have settled their grievances, this kind of time is about death, not a time for nostalgia.

"Come on guys, Chauncey and Shaq have already told you clearly, let's greet them in the next game, and then go to Los Angeles to give them a good look!"

George Karl appeared at the right time. With his red eyes, he was obviously not as relaxed as he looked on the surface. He shouted loudly with a smile on his face, just like a master of chicken soup for the soul.

George Karl, who also stayed up all night last night, also carefully reviewed the problems exposed by the team in the first game.

The problem is indeed with Anthony. His usage rate of the ball is too high and his efficiency is not high. As a result, although the Nuggets have always had a small advantage on the scene, they have been unable to turn their advantage into a victory.

But what to do with it?
Although he is the head coach of the team, George Karl does not have the absolute say in the team like most NCAA head coaches.

Anthony is the core of the team's team building. It can be said that the current Nuggets team is built around Anthony.

In this case, how should adjustments be made?

George Karl thought about it all night, but he didn't know what to do.
