One Guard

In the last 3 minutes of the game, the Mavericks sent a baseline ball. Yiyang went out of the encirclement of the Lakers to catch the basketball, and it was still the relentless Kobe who met him.

On the backboard, the timer keeps jumping. Fans chanting Kobe's name seemed to be their last hope.

Continuously dribbling, feinting, and changing directions, Yiyang didn't seem to be afraid of Kobe's tough defense. After Yiyang dribbled the ball to the right flank, he took a step back. Stepping back and then shooting, this is Yiyang's favorite rhythm.

Yiyang took off directly, leaned back slightly, and shot against Kobe's defense.

The basketball crossed the Staples Dome with a large arc and went straight to the net.

Yiyang has no expression on his face, and just retreats quickly. The fans of the Lakers were collectively silent. Yiyang is in such a good state today that it is normal to see him score goals. No one knows how much Yiyang desires to play good numbers in Staples, so they can't understand why Yiyang has become...Kobe today.

That's right, Yiyang became Kobe today. Three-pointers, fadeaways, breakthroughs, assists, defense...as long as it can help the team score or stop the opponent from scoring, Yiyang can do it, and he does it well.

The fadeaway jumper that was completed against Kobe's defense just now is just the tip of the iceberg of Yiyang's performance today.

"30 points, also scored the highest 30 points in the game today! This is also the highest score in the playoffs in his career! As a rookie, this is an amazing statistic! The Lakers are getting closer and closer to the abyss The closer it gets, if the game is lost, the defending champion will most likely lose the entire series." Mike Breen is still reminding everyone how important this game is to the Lakers. As for Kyle Thompson, he couldn't even say a word.

So far, Kobe has only recorded 13 points. But the game will end in only 3 minutes.

According to Kobe's state today, it is almost impossible for him to score 12 points in 3 minutes. In other words, Kyle Thompson completely lost.

Before the start of the game, Thompson said that it was absolutely impossible for Yiyang to limit Kobe's scoring to less than 25 points. But now, Kobe may not even get 20 points.

The Lakers re-attacked, Kobe was still patiently looking for opportunities, and others were desperately interspersed to create gaps for him.

Just when Kobe grabbed the gap and went straight to the basket and jumped for a layup, he was knocked down.

The person who committed the foul was Yiyang, a fan of Kobe Bryant who never misses the past. Seeing that Kobe took the opportunity, he put it directly. I would rather let Kobe make a free throw than let him score an easy layup.

"You bloody bastard!"

"I hate you! We all hate you!"

"Get out of Los Angeles, you are not welcome here!"

The insults from the fans in Los Angeles came overwhelmingly, Yiyang didn't pay attention to these voices, but went straight up, ready to pull Kobe up. This foul was purely for the game and had nothing to do with their personal relationship.

But Bynum suddenly turned over, pushed Yiyang aside in disgust, grabbed Kobe's hand, and pulled him up.

Bynum is such a child temper, if not because of Kobe, he is likely to become a ticking time bomb in the Lakers locker room. In front of the opponent, Bynum will not give the opponent any face.

Get to the free throw line,

Kobe's chest heaved violently. This guy tried his best today, but unfortunately, he is no longer young and he is suffering from injuries, Kobe can only do this.

On the first free throw on the line, Kobe's shot was a little deformed due to fatigue, and he failed to hit the ball.

Many Lakers fans looked red-eyed, Kobe like this is really pitiful...

In the second free throw, the basketball bumped and bumped, but it still fell into the net obediently. Even so, the Lakers are still 19 points behind. The situation is very dangerous for the defending champion, and the Mavericks players on the bench can't wait to rush up to celebrate the victory.

Lakers fans were hoping for a miracle, but just like the last game, God didn't seem to hear the prayers of the Los Angeles fans.

Two minutes passed and the score was still not close. Now, what the Lakers need is a wave of offense. And the Lakers are very difficult to even bite the score today, so how can they play an offensive frenzy?

The Mavericks still use jump shots to score, and the Lakers have nothing to do with it. In the last minute of the game, when Bynum fouled Chandler, the game went dead.

On the sidelines, five Mavericks players collectively took off their training uniforms and stepped onto the court at the same time. Up and down, Carlisle announced that the game had officially entered garbage time.

In the last minute, the main force of the Lakers played against the Mavericks. Although the Lakers did recover some points, the time of 60 seconds really makes the Lakers not have the conditions to create miracles.

Many fans at the Staples Center booed Bryant when he was exhausted. Kobe walked off the court without saying a word. It doesn't just mean this game, it means his season is over...

Kyle Thompson still can't accept the fact that the Lakers were eliminated, even though they still have a game to play, but 3 to 0... This has sentenced the Lakers to death.

As for how he will use his butt to complete the shot next, Thompson no longer cares. Compared with the survival of the Lakers, his personal face is nothing at all.

"Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe..." Someone in the stands started shouting Kobe's name.

Then, more and more people joined in, until finally, the voice spread throughout Staples.

Kobe finally raised his head, barely put on a smile, sat in his chair and turned around to wave to the fans. This seems to be him saying goodbye to the fans.

Amidst the shouts of the fans, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game. The eyes of many fans are rosy, the Zijin Army's dynasty dream is shattered!

The moment the game ended, Yiyang stood up abruptly. He didn't hug and celebrate with his teammates on the field for the first time, but turned around and walked towards the Lakers bench.

On the Lakers side, there was also a person walking towards Yiyang. There is no doubt that this guy is Kobe.

The noise at Staples Center was deafening, but you couldn't tell if it was boos or something else. When everything was settled, it seemed pointless to boo Yiyang again.

Yiyang looked at the glaring white light on the Staples Dome, the taciturn No. 1 guard couldn't believe it, he defeated his idol in the bloody battle of the playoffs in the Staples Theater of Dreams kobe. This is what he dreamed of back then. And at this moment, his dream has become a reality!

The two walked to the middle of the technical table and looked at each other face to face. Suddenly, Kobe stretched out a hand and patted Yiyang's shoulder.

"The road ahead will be more difficult, come on. It's not that easy to win the championship." Kobe Bryant had a serious expression when he spoke, and he didn't pretend to smile, because he really couldn't laugh.

"I thought you would blame me." Yiyang didn't expect Kobe, a paranoid competitor, to cheer him on.

"My journey has almost come to an end this season, so I wish you good luck." After Kobe finished speaking, he looked at the restless crowd. Then the No. 24 turned around and walked towards the player tunnel with heavy steps.

"The series is not over yet!" Yiyang shouted behind Kobe.

Kobe didn't turn around, just shook his head. "Look at my performance in this year's playoffs... It's over, you don't have to comfort me. The Western Conference semifinals, it's over..."

Yiyang froze in place, watching Kobe's exhausted back, and watched him walk into the tunnel. Of course Yiyang wants to win, but he doesn't want to see Kobe and the Lakers eliminated. But during the game, he showed no mercy at all.

It can only be said that the basketball court is indeed a battlefield in the age of civilization. When the killing begins, all feelings will be diluted by the desire to defeat the opponent.

Pursue victory and crush your opponents. This is the most primitive and characteristic of human beings.

It's a pity that there can only be one winner in this arena, but Kobe, you have won everyone's respect.

Kobe walked to the entrance of the player tunnel, seemed to remember something, then stopped, and raised his arms towards the stands.

At this moment, a large group of people cheered and stood up in the stands. Regardless of the result of today's game, the Lakers fans still gave a standing ovation to send off their "king".

Yiyang also stood on the sidelines and applauded. If he was the injured person, he really didn't know if he could do what Kobe did. But that guy fought himself to the last second.

In this short period of time, everyone forgot about the fierce fighting on the field, calmed down, temporarily put aside their grievances, and bid farewell to their friends.

"This is the playoffs, buddy. In the end, there is only one person who can reach the top." Kidd elbowed Yiyang who was standing still. "Hey, just smile, we won."

Hearing what Kidd said, Yiyang smiled slightly. The Western Conference Finals sounds really exciting.

Carlisle stood on the sidelines with his hips akimbo, enjoying the peace after the victory. Many people say that it is already a kind of success for the Mavericks to go so far. After all, this team's performance in the playoffs has always been eye-popping.

But this season... nothing can be called a success except a championship!

For the Mavericks this year, advancing to the Western Conference Finals is far from enough.
