The last quarter of the game started, and Zhang Zhiyuan did not hesitate to use the props, the king of the final quarter.
[King of the last quarter, S level, only available in the fourth quarter, after use, shooting stability is 10%, shooting rate is 10%, steal success rate is 20%, physical recovery is 30%. 】
The Hornets attacked, and with high morale, they continued to play wonderful cooperation. Paul broke through and passed from the back. Peja in the bottom corner took the ball and hit a three-pointer.
101 vs. 88, the situation became more serious, and some Zhang fans also lost their composure and began to become nervous.
"hateful."
Kobe kicked the wardrobe so hard that it caused him to grit his teeth in pain.
During the critical period when he was trying to win 73 games, he was actually sent off. This was something he couldn't accept.
Seeing his team falling behind by a huge margin, he felt infinite regret.
73 wins, this is the only statistic that he can surpass Jordan.
If he misses it, it will be a lifelong regret for him.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan moved and Peja was completely unable to keep up.
His physical strength declined severely, but Zhang Zhiyuan replenished his physical strength.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan easily received the pass, but Peterson blocked him.
There was only one Peterson, and Zhang Zhiyuan took action without hesitation.
Peterson jumped to interfere and the ball went in.
101 to 91.
The fans at the scene couldn't help but cheer.
The team is still scoring points and retaining hope of winning.
The Hornets counterattacked, and Peja wanted to repeat his old tricks, but Zhang Zhiyuan followed him and refused to give him a chance.
It's a pity that Zhang Zhiyuan was too busy. Paul saw that Peja was being guarded and immediately passed the ball to Peterson.
Peterson made a mid-range jump shot, but unfortunately the ball missed.
This is the difference between ordinary players and stars, the ability to seize opportunities is poor.
Chandler grabbed the offensive rebound and then took off for a second dunk, teasing Bynum again.
103 to 91.
"Oh, the Hornets have gained momentum, and now the Lakers are in trouble."
Zhang Lili commented.
Leading the score and scoring goals one after another, the morale of the Hornets players was high.
Fortunately, the Lakers' morale is not low.
They were all affected by Zhang Zhiyuan's temperament. Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan was not yelling in a hurry, they were not in a hurry either.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan continued to rely on speed to get rid of Peja.
Peterson is still defending, Zhang Zhiyuan continues to shoot.
With the blessing of shooting stability and a bonus to hit rate, this kind of shooting is too simple for Zhang Zhiyuan.
The ball goes in.
103 to 94, the score difference returned to single digits.
"Oh, wow, two tough three-pointers in a row."
Smith.
"I'm just saying, the Lakers can reverse this."
Buckley laughed.
The Hornets attacked, and I don't know if they were affected by Zhang Zhiyuan's momentum, but they failed to score in this attack.
"Defend, defend."
Scott yelled from the audience, mainly Peja.
Being thrown away by Zhang Zhiyuan twice in a row was really undeserved.
However, this is definitely not because Peja doesn’t work hard, he really can’t keep up.
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan trying to avoid him again, Peja quickly moved sideways to try to stop him.
As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan changed direction, Peja had nothing to do. After all, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't have the ball in his hands at this time and his movement was very easy.
Peja continued to chase, trying to interfere.
Paul was also very smart. He stopped guarding Fisher's breakthroughs and shots and concentrated on guarding Fisher's passes.
Because he knew that Fisher would definitely pass the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan at this time.
If Fisher doesn't pass, let him shoot the two-pointer.
Paul's guess was very accurate. Fisher immediately passed the ball after seeing Zhang Zhiyuan get rid of Peja.
At this time, a big hand appeared from the sky, touched the basketball, and Paul completed the steal.
"Shet."
Lakers fans couldn't help but yell. This steal just interrupted the Lakers' scoring momentum. It was so disgusting.
The Hornets counterattacked and West hit a mid-range jumper.
105 to 94.
"The Lakers have no chance. The Hornets are very tenacious now and they will not give the Lakers a chance."
espn commentary commented.
Another guest did not agree because he did not want to be slapped in the face by Zhang Zhiyuan.
No chance?
He felt that he needed to see it again.
When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan still moved. Fisher's pass was much more stable this time and Paul was not intercepted.
However, being prudent often means missing opportunities.
By the time Zhang Zhiyuan received the ball, Peja had already caught up in time and caught him with Peterson on the left and right.
Zhang Zhiyuan pulled out his hand and leaned back a little to prevent being blocked.
This kind of difficult shot is generally difficult to hit, but this is for others.
The ball was scored, Zhang Zhiyuan made three of three shots, and his personal score reached 40 points.
105 to 96.
In the locker room, Kobe said nothing.
It was very painful for him when the team fell behind just now, and now he is very painful when the team is chasing points, because Zhang Zhiyuan is soaring points again.
He knew that after this game, Zhang Zhiyuan's score would catch up with his.
What makes him even more uncomfortable is that he still can't find an excuse to comfort himself.
Originally, when his score was low just now, he could be said to have been double-teamed and targeted. But now Zhang Zhiyuan is also being double-teamed and targeted, but Zhang Zhiyuan keeps scoring.
This contrast is so obvious that Kobe can't even deceive himself or others.
"It looks like he's trying to turn the tide again."
Smith vaguely felt that Zhang Zhiyuan was in an explosive state.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Barkley originally wanted to say, 'Sure enough, only Kobe can guard Zhang Zhiyuan,' but he held back the words.
Kobe is already very pitiful, there is no need to add salt to other people's wounds.
The Hornets attacked, Paul passed the ball to Peja, and Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly jumped out to steal the ball.
His hand touched the basketball, and then when he saw that the basketball was about to go out of bounds, he fished the ball back.
The fast break opportunity was gone, but at least the ball was obtained.
The Hornets fans couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts, they smelled something bad.
The Lakers attacked, but Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed before he could catch the ball.
Fisher passed the ball to Ariza, who took an open shot and missed.
Now the fans were speechless.
Ariza is a player they both love and hate.
As a substitute player, Ariza's defense is definitely adequate and his firepower is not bad, but he is unstable at critical moments.
The Hornets players breathed a sigh of relief, and Paul gestured to his teammates to slow down and stabilize the situation.
They can't have a melee with the Lakers, that's giving the Lakers a chance.
"Paul is so stable and a super star."
Smith sighed.
This season is only Paul's third season, but he has performed at an MVP level, and countless experts are optimistic about him.
"Unfortunately, he is still a little worse than Zhang Zhiyuan."
Buckley laughed.
Paul controlled the ball for half the game, but under the tight defense of the Lakers, his teammates had no good shot. New
Paul tried to break through Fisher, but failed.
In desperation, Paul had no choice but to take the shot and the ball missed.
Paul's efficiency this season is quite high and his scoring is not low.
However, compared with super scorers like Zhang Zhiyuan, Kobe Bryant, and James, he still seems to lack explosive offensive power.
In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan immediately showed his unreasonable scoring ability.
Peja had obviously tried very hard, but he still couldn't completely stop Zhang Zhiyuan.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan forced a shot in front of Peterson and West and hit another three-pointer.
The Hornets' defense was not bad, but it was useless. Zhang Zhiyuan could score goals.
At this moment, Hornets fans were a little discouraged.
Fighting against such an opponent really hurts morale.
Scott called a timeout, replaced Peja and replaced him with Pago.
He wants to prevent Zhang Zhiyuan from catching the ball, so the player's speed is very important.
As for Pargo's height being unable to guard against Zhang Zhiyuan's shooting, there is no need to consider this anymore. Peja is taller, so what's the use if he can't catch up?
The Hornets attacked, and the new Pago was very energetic and cut to the basket, forcing Zhang Zhiyuan to catch up.
Paul got a chance on the outside and hit a long two-pointer.
It only needed to retreat a little, and it was a three-pointer, but Paul did not retreat.
Fortunately, the ball went in, and the Hornets fans didn't pay much attention.
107 to 99.
With a difference of 8 points, the Hornets' advantage seems quite large, but fans know in their hearts that they have to defend the Lakers' offense to achieve an 8-point lead.
Sure enough, Zhang Zhiyuan did not disappoint them.
With an unreasonable three-pointer, the point difference became 5 points again.
A hazard score.
What's even worse is that the Hornets' offense was out of power, and West struck at the critical moment.
In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan also made a three-pointer.
The Hornets fans couldn't help but pat their little hearts. Zhang Zhiyuan's shot just now frightened them. He even thought that the ball would definitely hit.
Although they received an unexpected surprise, the situation is still not good for the Hornets because there is still too much game time.
The Hornets attack and Paul controls the rhythm.
Fisher wanted to risk a steal, so Paul naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake and shook him away. Then he took two steps toward the basket and hit a mid-range shot.
109 to 102, the score difference came to 7 points, a relatively safe number.
The Lakers attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan continued to strike.
There was no way, the Hornets' defense on him was too tight, almost two people were on top of him, and he couldn't even jump.
The ball just now was more like a throw than a throw.
"Pass it, damn it."
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan's recklessness, Kobe was worried.
The Hornets attacked, but the Lakers defended tightly and refused to give them a chance.
West missed a jump shot.
Zhang Zhiyuan seized the opportunity and quickly ran to the Hornets' basket.
This route was somewhat beyond Paul and Pargo's expectations.
By the time they reacted to intercept it, Fisher had already passed the ball.
Zhang Zhiyuan took off, and Chandler followed suit and tried to block the shot.
Relying on his superb shooting stability, Zhang Zhiyuan just waited for Chandler to foul before taking action.
Goal scored, 21.
Kobe shut up again.
It hurts him when the team falls behind, and he still hurts when the team approaches the score.
Suddenly, he turned off the TV.
Anyway, it feels uncomfortable to look at it, so I might as well just ignore it.
On the court, Zhang Zhiyuan made an extra free throw.
109 to 105, the point difference is only 4 points, but there are still 5 minutes in the game.
Even Hornets fans dare not say that this is their advantage at this time.
Looking at the Lakers fans at the scene, the team was clearly 4 points behind, but they were all extremely excited, acting as if they were ahead.
Scott called a timeout and replaced Peja again.
He hoped that Peja, who had rested for a few minutes, could make some difference.
At the same time, he also made new arrangements, requiring the team to play slowly and improve the success rate.
It's all bullshit. That's what Paul did on the court just now. Does Scott need to say it?
Paul hoped that Scott could arrange more clever tactics, but unfortunately Scott did not.
Paul could only return to the court depressed.
The Hornets attack and Paul controls the clock.
It's a pity that they have to take action after all.
"The damn 24-second rule."
Hornets fans couldn't help but yell.
On the court, Peja, who just came on the field, shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately the ball missed.
Then, just like the firefighters, the members of the Hornets ran back to their positions in one breath, preparing to be serious.
"Have you forgotten my unique skills?"
Zhang Zhiyuan complained and threw the ball out at half court.
"no..."
Paul's eyes widened, and countless regrets welled up in his heart.
Damn it, why did you forget that this guy has the ability to shoot three-pointers from far away?
Before I finished regretting it, there was a loud bang and the basketball hit the basket.
Zhang Zhiyuan looks indifferent on the outside but is embarrassed on the inside.
Just now he said something pretentious, but in the end he slapped himself.
Fortunately, not many people notice this.
Maybe everyone thought the ball would go in.
The Hornets attacked and Paul hit another two-pointer.
But looking back, Zhang Zhiyuan threw a three-pointer.
The miss just now was just an accident, and the hit is the norm.
111 to 108, Zhang Zhiyuan's personal score exceeded 50 and scored 52 points, 20 of which were scored in the last quarter.
What's even more outrageous is that no other Lakers players scored points in this quarter.
"Surround him, surround him."
Scott shouted, he didn't name the person, but everyone knew who he was.
The Lakers attacked, Paul Peja Peterson surrounded Zhang Zhiyuan as if holding hands, Fisher made a pass to the basket, and Odom scored a layup.
The Hornets counterattacked, and Peja hit a three-pointer under pressure.
In the transition from offense to defense, Fisher scored two points with his own layup.
Scott didn't think there was anything wrong with his strategy. If he let others shoot, he would lose at most two points at a time. If Zhang Zhiyuan was allowed to shoot, it would be hard to say.
When the Hornets attacked, Peja wanted to throw a three-pointer, but Zhang Zhiyuan didn't give him a chance and guarded him tightly.
Peja could only pass it to Peterson, but Peterson couldn't bear the pressure and strike.
The Lakers counterattacked and Ariza succeeded in a layup.
114 to 114, the score is even, with one and a half minutes left in the game.
"It's over."
Scott thought to himself.
He didn't believe that Zhang Zhiyuan, the king of game-winners, scored the last goal, but he also didn't believe that the team could last until the last minute.
He couldn't explain the reason, it was just a feeling.
This feeling is not only felt by Scott, but also by others, even most fans and experts feel this way.
Obviously the two teams were only tied, but everyone felt that the Lakers would definitely win.
"It's such a pity that the Hornets worked hard the whole game, but they still lost in the end..."
What Zhang Lili said was somewhat disrespectful to the Hornets, but Chinese fans didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The strength of the Lakers and their invincibility at critical moments have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
