Kobe Bryant was close to James, and James' ball-handling rhythm was disrupted.

He failed to get rid of Kobe within two steps, but at this time his steps had already entered the free throw line.

Therefore, James no longer hesitated.

Facing the attraction of the basket and the temptation of dominating the league, he still resolutely collected the ball, took a big step, and then jumped, sprinting towards the basket.

But the moment he took off, snap!

He felt his hands were numb. Kobe Bryant's left hand slashed his basketball with great accuracy. The basketball was released at that time. He quickly made an emergency landing and controlled the basketball with both hands. He was about to pass the basketball, but found that

The one with a pale face came close to me.

At this time, Kobe's entire teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

James immediately realized a very clear fact: Kobe was injured.

In other words, it is very possible that he was injured very early.

He doesn't understand.

Why don't you get off the field when you get injured? You have to stay on the court in case the injury gets worse.

There is only one game tonight, but a long career.

LeBron James cannot understand this kind of basketball thinking because he is not such a person and he will not take risks to win a game.

However, he made his decision within milliseconds.

After he determined that Kobe was injured and already sick, he made the decision not to pass the ball again.

He feinted upward, then turned his back, trying to knock Kobe away with his strong body.

However, James' back-up skills at this time were very poor, and he only had a broad back and solid thigh strength.

Kobe Bryant didn't move an inch.

James decided to forcefully get on the horse and bumped his shoulder hard back. He already understood that Kobe's injury was to his left hand, because his entire left hand was shaking.

Therefore, there is no doubt that he turned to the right side of his body and used his body to press hard.

James has always had a smart and calculating brain.

He always makes decisions that are in his own best interest.

However, people's hearts are not interests.

Willpower is not interest.

There is always something higher than worldly interests.

When James bumped into him, Kobe Bryant stepped forward and raised his left hand that he had never raised since he fell last time. His entire expression was distorted.

However, there is no turning back.

When LeBron James takes off and stretches out his hands to shoot, Kobe Bryant takes off at the same time. He is shorter than James, he is thinner than James, and his wingspan and hands are more than one length shorter than James.

However, when the road is narrow, the brave wins.

When James was halfway through the jump, Kobe had already bounced violently and suppressed it fiercely with his left hand... Bang!

James himself was frightened at the time.

He didn't expect it.

He didn't expect that Kobe's left hand could explode with such great power. His whole hand was obviously shaking, and he almost fainted.

The basketball fell from James' hands.

At this time, Fan Xi had already rushed out of the diagonal stab, as if he had already known that Kobe could kill James.

He catches the basketball.

The whole court was still shouting "Kill Kobe" and rushed past half-time.

Beep!

The Lakers took advantage of the situation and requested a timeout.

There are 18 seconds left.

The Lakers got the most important ball.

Fan Xi quickly turned around and looked at Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant's body was crumbling at this time. Pau Gasol, who was next to him, supported him and gave Fan Xi an encouraging smile.

At this time, Fan Xi understood.

Returning to the bench, Fanshie immediately asked Kobe Bryant: "Are you going to take the last shot later?"

"No, Jack, it's your responsibility now. I can't come back." Kobe Bryant stared at Fan Xi seriously: "I mean, I can't even come back in this series."

Kobe said very calmly.

However, behind this calmness is clearly a surge of sadness and regret.

Kobe Bryant spent the second half of his career chasing three consecutive championships and a third Finals MVP, and this year he finally got the opportunity. But, but.

"From the moment I was knocked over by James, I knew I could not come back. However, I was so unwilling to do so, so I gritted my teeth and insisted on staying on the court. I have to tell you more about how to handle the finals,

Jack."

Kobe pointed to his left forearm and said, "The bones inside are cracked or broken."

Fan Xi looked at Kobe's left forearm, which was already visibly swollen, and even his fingers were somewhat congested.

It can be seen how much pain Kobe endured for these three minutes.

The team doctor came over and urged Kobe to go to the hospital quickly.

Kobe said to him: "I want to see us win this victory, and I don't want to leave with failure."

Fan Xi pursed his lips. He recalled what Kobe had done in the past three minutes in his mind, and his eyes became moist.

Kobe is really a tough guy.

At this time, the Lakers bench was filled with an atmosphere of indescribable sadness. Kobe has always been the soul of the team, and now that they learned about his injury, many players felt pessimistic in their hearts.

The opponents were the Big Three, the two strongest strikers and defenders in the Mesozoic era, plus the former King of the North.

"Let's discuss the final attack."

Phil Jackson held the tactical board and looked around calmly. He asked the players: "Now I want to hear your opinions. Which of you wants to be the executor of the final attack?"

At this moment, Phil Jackson raised such a question.

It was unexpected by everyone.

Because it was always Kobe who took the last shot.

No need to choose at all.

Phil Jackson is also an opinionated coach. Why does he ask this?

Phil Jackson first looked at Pau Gasol, who was theoretically the Lakers' second man.

But the Spaniard's eyes averted.

As Kobe said, Gasol never believed he could complete the dominant job from the beginning to the end.

Then, Phil Jackson looked at Andrew Bynum.

Bynum's eyes were very flustered at this time. He had always dreamed of replacing Kobe. He wanted to become the Lakers' signature. But now, when he heard that Kobe was injured and would not come back in this series, he suddenly

I was at a loss and lost my backbone.

He is like a willful but cowardly child. When his parents are around, he always plays the devil's advocate. When his parents leave, he becomes submissive and unable to cope with challenges independently.

at this time.

Fan Xi spoke, and he said decisively: "Let me do it."

"Are you coming? Are you going to take on this?" Phil Jackson asked Fan Xi, staring into Fan Xi's eyes.

Fan Xi met Phil Jackson's eyes, and he was extremely firm. He said with absolute certainty: "Yes, I will bear it, I will allow it, and I will bear the whole world!"
