Chapter 1388 The Final Showdown

Chapter 1388 The final showdown is eight points behind! Jordan rubbed his palms. (Reading novels) Now the game is getting more and more interesting. Kobe, who is widely rumored to be his successor, has obviously shown his momentum in this game. Not only does he follow suit, but he also wants to do better than himself. This little guy is very interesting!

"Chauncey!" Jordan ran towards Billups, took the basketball from Billups, and then took the initiative to meet Kobe.

"Remember, when I make this gesture, you come over to help defend Kobe." Looking at Jordan's back, Billups was still thinking about what Jordan had just said. Is Kobe so powerful? Has it reached a point where Jordan can't face it alone?

Billups didn't believe it! Although Kobe is very powerful, Jordan in front of him is equally powerful. As Jordan's teammate, Billups can clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from Jordan, which makes Billups shudder. Although Kobe is powerful, he is not enough to scare Billups.

With a little puzzlement, Billups continued to pull Payton away and let Jordan play alone, but his eyes were fixed on Jordan.

"Hey, little guy, do you know how to do this?" Jordan smiled lightly, shook his hands violently, and the basketball in his hand shot out in a parabola.

Kobe was stunned for a few seconds before turning his head quickly. Just now, Jordan's action was too fast, so fast that he couldn't react at all, and the ball in Jordan's hand was thrown out.

Damn, this ball will never go in! ——Kobe absolutely doesn't believe that Jordan can make this shot.

With a "bang", the ball hit the top of the basket hard and bounced high.

Kobe showed a trace of mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. If he guessed correctly, this move should be the famous skill of Spurs guard Parker-the unreasonable little "flop". Parker has two major skills, one is the breakthrough, and the other is this unreasonable little float. It seems that the posture, action, and timing are wrong, but Parker's hit rate is extremely high, and the action is too fast, and the defensive players can't defend at all. This is almost an unsolvable must-kill in the NBA.

But this is definitely not so easy to learn!

Unexpectedly, just when the mocking smile on Kobe's mouth had not yet faded, with a "swish", the basketball fell from the air and fell straight into the net. The three-pointer was valid!

"Little guy,

Now it's only 5 points!" Jordan pointed to the big screen. At the same time, he didn't forget to secretly call it lucky. The ball was able to go in, luck really played a big role.

"You are lucky!" Kobe's eyes were blazing.

"If you have the ability, try one too!" Jordan pointed his right thumb at the basket on his side and said.

Hum! —— Kobe ran forward with a sullen face.

At this moment, Parker, who was sitting in front of the TV, was completely speechless. How come his famous skills were also learned by Jordan! He only knows how to break through and make unreasonable small throws. If this trick is learned by others, then he is still a fart!

Damn it! Kobe was completely trapped by Jordan this time. —— Payton was secretly shocked. Jordan's unreasonable small throw just now against Parker was a gamble. If it goes in, it's good. If it doesn't go in, it's a challenge to Kobe, and let Kobe shoot one too. If Kobe doesn't go in, it's a tie. If it goes in, the score will naturally widen again, and the Houston Rockets will lose. But Parker's unreasonable small jump shot is extremely difficult, including Parker's own hit rate is not too high, not to mention Kobe who rarely shoots such unreasonable small jump shots.

"Kobe, don't fall into the trap, score in the way you are best at. As long as you can score." Payton whispered as he handed the ball to Kobe.

"I know!" Kobe nodded.

Although Kobe was furious, he was not stupid, and naturally understood Jordan's strategy. However

"Little guy, if you want to surpass me, don't escape this game. You know, I'm old, and there won't be many opportunities to play basketball like now. Maybe you won't have a chance next time." Jordan was fooling people, and he would definitely cheat them to death. In his words, there was truth and falsehood, and Kobe couldn't tell at all. But even if he could tell the difference, Kobe didn't want to miss this chance to surpass Jordan head-on.

Because Jordan is really old, 42 years old, and the two sides may not have a chance to meet next time. Although they can meet in the regular season, can the regular season be compared with the playoffs!

"Watch it!" Kobe imitated Jordan's move just now and also made a Parker-style unreasonable little lob.

The ball hit the basket just like Jordan, but Kobe was not as lucky as Jordan. Due to the excessive force, the ball hit the top of the backboard and went out of bounds.

"Hey, you didn't score this ball!" Jordan joked.

"Don't worry, you won't score the next ball either!" Kobe's eyes were fierce. He was now one goal behind, and he must defend Jordan in the next ball.

"Really? Then we'll see!" Jordan ran forward.

The ball passed the midfield, and Billups gave the ball to Jordan again.

"This time, what do you think I will do?" Jordan's eyes flashed with a cold light. Then, he took a big step with his left foot and broke through from Kobe's right side.

Want to break through me? No way! ——Kobe blocked Jordan's way. But then, Jordan turned his back.

Want to play the same trick again! ——Kobe looked disdainful. To deal with him, don't use the same trick a second time!

Unexpectedly, just when Kobe was about to block Jordan's turnaround jumper, Jordan only turned halfway and the ball was released.

"Bang!" A shot off the backboard! ——This is Duncan's signature trick.

Swish! ——The ball went into the net.

"Now it's only 3 points." Jordan pointed to the big screen.

Kobe's face turned green immediately.

Phil Jackson stood up on the coaching bench. Now the score was only 3 points behind, and there were 3 minutes left, enough for anything to happen. But seeing the blazing fire in Kobe's eyes, Phil Jackson thought about it and chose to believe Kobe.

In this game, as long as Kobe can go one step further and reach the height of Jordan in the past, then no matter the outcome of this game, it is enough for Phil Jackson. After all, O'Neal is 32 years old, and Kobe is only 26 years old this year. The future belongs to Kobe, not O'Neal. If Kobe can go one step further in this game, technically and mentally, then Kobe will become the undisputed number one in the NBA after Jordan!

Michael, you will do whatever it takes to win this game. But you probably didn't expect that this game might be a stepping stone for Kobe to become the number one in the NBA, and you are his founder! ——Phil Jackson sat down slowly. In this game, he will no longer intervene, let Kobe play to his heart's content, and carefully experience the madness and horror of Jordan's last moments.

Kobe, you only have this one game. If you can be reborn, you will be the absolute core of the Lakers in the future, and the only candidate to stop the Houston Rockets from winning more championships in the future! ——Phil Jackson swept towards the Houston Rockets.

This Houston Rockets team has too many talented players. Center Yao Ming, power forward Boozer, small forward James, Prince, shooting guard Wade, Hughes, and point guard Billups, if such a luxurious lineup can be trained for two more seasons, it will be the biggest favorite for the championship. From the current league perspective, I am afraid that no team except the Los Angeles Lakers can create a god to compete with it.

And the future of the Lakers lies in Kobe!

Phil Jackson did not make any signal, and the Lakers players on the court could only follow the previous instructions, continue to ignore O'Neal's anger, and pass the ball to Kobe again.

"That's right! Such a game is exciting enough!" David Stern nodded with satisfaction. For him, the game is attractive enough. If you can create a god, it would be best to have a game like the match between Jordan and Kobe in every game.

Swish! Kobe lived up to expectations and also gave Jordan a Duncan-style rebound shot.

Wow! ——The Staples Center suddenly became a sea of ​​joy.

"Now we're 5 points behind, it's your turn!" Kobe pursed his lips provocatively.

(Duncan in front of the TV was also depressed. He always played basketball in a simple and unpretentious way, but this move was his signature move, and it was learned by others. What a tangle of life!)

Jordan gently wiped his lips.

This kid is really good! ——Jordan touched his chest that kept rising and falling, with a smile on his face. I didn't expect that before his basketball career was really about to end, there would be such a wonderful game. Life is really perfect.

Since the beginning of this season, as the season progressed, Jordan lamented more and more about his lack of physical strength. Although he could still play 20+5+5 terrifying data, he was really tired. It really can't be compared with the past. Especially the rapid growth of James and Wade in the team made Jordan have the idea of ​​retiring. After the tempering of this playoffs, James, Wade, Yao Ming and others will surely grow greatly. With Billups' calmness, the team can leave the creation of gods to them with confidence.

Therefore, Jordan has been looking for the best time to retire. It's just that he has some regrets in his heart. After all, since his second comeback, he has never really played a game to his heart's content, and this game undoubtedly fulfilled his dream.

Kobe, no matter how strong you are, you will lose this game! ——Jordan, I clenched my fist.

Let me teach you the most important lesson in basketball, which is also the lesson you lack - teamwork and leadership.

"Chauncey, ball!" Jordan stood in front of Kobe and shouted.

"Kobe, if you want to surpass me, watch out!" Jordan said in a deep voice.

Is it coming? Is the ultimate version of Jordan finally coming! ——Kobe's heart trembled.

From the beginning, Kobe has been a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling that Jordan still has some spare energy and is plotting something. This has always made him a little uneasy. And now it seems that his feeling is not wrong, Jordan has not yet exerted his full strength! But this kind of Jordan makes him more excited!

"Michael, let me see how powerful you, the greatest player in history, are!" Kobe opened his hands, and he vowed to keep this ball.

Jordan smiled and moved!
