Chapter 352 Failed Season
Chapter 352 Failed Season
At this time, the basketball has come to the sideline from the basket, and it is about to go out of bounds, and the basketball itself still does not belong to anyone, but Rodman is the last person to touch the ball.
Therefore, if Rodman does not save, the ball will still belong to the Lakers.
Faced with such a situation, Rodman jumped up and received the ball in the air, but he was already hanging outside the court.
If the ball is not handled in time, the situation of the exchange of ball rights cannot be changed after landing.
He made a decisive decision, twisted his dog's waist in the air, and relied on his strong core strength to complete the turn in the air without any leverage.
Seeing Magic Johnson in front of him, he slammed the ball hard into Johnson's foot!
He intends to let the Lakers go out of bounds so that the ball belongs to him.
Unexpectedly, he was fast, and Johnson reacted faster than him. The moment Rodman made a shot, Johnson jumped with both feet and made a split in the air, just avoiding Rodman's attack.
Seeing that he failed to hit Johnson, Rodman fell disappointed in the crowd of a bunch of cameramen at the bottom line.
Fortunately, because there is a flesh pad under the body, it will not be injured.
However, the basketball passed through Johnson's crotch and landed in Jabbar's hands. Seeing that the time was less than two seconds, Jabbar turned around immediately, leaned on Malone with his shoulders, and suppressed Malone with his body so that he could not take off.
Then, he strode his left leg into the penalty area, turned towards the basket at the same time, and jumped up high, with his right arm straight, and raised the ball high above his head. At the same time, when he jumped to the highest point, his wrist lightly Flicking the ball, the basketball flew away from his fingers.
There it was, and for the first time in all seven games of the series, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used his famous stunt, the Skyhook!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's shot was outside the three-second zone. Malone could only look at the ball and sigh, unable to block the shot at all. He could only turn around at the first time, jam Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and prepare to grab a rebound.
This is just his subconscious action. In fact, even he himself knows that no matter whether the goal is scored or not, there is no need to grab a rebound, because the time has come!
The basketball flew straight towards the basket, the arc was not very high, it was relatively flat, but the basketball still went straight into the basket and into the net.
Lore!Abdul-Jabbar used his sky hook to complete the lore!
The time was up after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made a shot. There was no timeout and no fouls. It was an undisputed lore!
The entire Oakland arena fell into dead silence, and people could not accept such a result. Before this game, even a few seconds before, they still firmly believed that their team could win, drag into overtime, and defeat the Lakers.
But no one thought that the team would end the game because of a 41-year-old veteran.
After scoring the goal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was already surrounded by Lakers players. They shouted loudly and wantonly vented their inner emotions.
This year’s playoffs are not easy for them. They have to go to the tiebreaker in each round to decide the winner. When they lost the battle with the Warriors at Tianwangshan, they once thought that their road to this year’s playoffs would be terminated. , But they just relied on their own will to complete the reversal of the Warriors.
Compared with the ecstasy of the Lakers players, the Warriors players were collectively dumbfounded. Watching the Lakers celebrate each other, they still cannot accept the reality.
Li Weisi even put his hands on his hips, bitter in his heart, and wanted to cry but there were no tears.
He lost, and he lost to the Lakers again. He was clearly within reach of victory, but he still fell outside the gate of the finals.
After all, a year of hard work turned into nothingness.
It's not that Li Weisi can't accept defeat. As early as in college, he had tasted the feeling of sitting on the bench and watching the team lose from the bench. However, compared with tonight, it was different. Losing like this is more heart-wrenching than hopeless failure.
While the Lakers players were still celebrating, Johnson quietly came in front of Li Weisi. At this time, his bright smile returned to his face, but such a smile, in Li Weisi's view, was resentful.
"Played a great game, the future will be yours!"
"You said the same thing last year!" Li Weisi said with an ugly face.
"Hahaha, is that right? I've forgotten all about it, but you guys have made great progress. In just one year, I feel like I'm about to lose." Johnson said with lingering fear.
"Just about to lose, not lose!"
"So, I believe you can defeat me soon."
"Next year! I will definitely beat you next year!" Li Weisi stared at Johnson with firm eyes.
Johnson also felt Li Weisi's gaze, but at this time he was the winning side, so he didn't care, and said to Li Weisi carelessly: "Okay, I'll wait for you next year!"
In the end, in the away game, the Lakers relied on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's shocking lore to narrowly beat the Warriors 117:115, with a total score of 4:3, won the tiebreaker again, and successfully joined the Pistons in the finals.
Li Weisi scored a game-high 34 points. In the fourth quarter alone, he scored 23 points. However, even so, it still failed to change the fact that the Warriors lost and successfully sent himself into the empty scoring group.
After the celebration, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the first to be interviewed by Stockton.
The veteran, who played 38 minutes tonight and scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, performed perfectly, and he didn't look like a veteran who was about to retire at all.
"That lore is definitely not just my credit, it is the result of the joint efforts of everyone on the team. We encountered serious difficulties in this year's playoffs, but our team is united and worked together to achieve what we are today the results.
The Warriors are a young team with great potential. They are still far from their peak strength. It is hard to imagine what they will achieve in the future, and it is also hard to imagine. In the future, which team in the league can stop them……"
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s speech was very sincere. Facing Dick Stockton’s questioning, he talked eloquently. In his words, he not only expressed the difficulty for the team to win, but also gave high hopes to the Warriors, showing that this veteran Mind and open-mindedness.
Although people with a discerning eye can now see the potential of the Warriors, they have been able to compete with the Lakers, who are ranked in the historical level team, after only two years in the army.
But if you lose, you lose. In this competitive sports where the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, all excuses are just excuses, which can't explain anything at all. Only victory is the ultimate goal.
Obviously, for the Warriors, no matter how good their regular season results are, how wonderful the playoffs are to the fans, this is destined to be a failed season.
