Champions Creed

Chapter 423 422: I will punish him (ask for monthly ticket!)
The Lakers are more tenacious than people expected.

他们在开局阶段0比2落后，而众所周知，当你在对阵勇士时，0比2就和0比3没有任何区别。

What's more, the Lakers lost two home games.

As a result, the Western Conference No. 1 team led by MVP actually won two games in a dramatic way.

Although they lost the decisive game, the Lakers still shocked the world, just like the 20,000 bodies found in the warehouse at the Colombian airport shocked the world.

With the experience of winning the first two games at Oracle Arena, Kobe Bryant came to Mission Bay again with great confidence.

When Kobe saw the Mark Twain poster outside Oracle Arena, he walked over to the poster that read "The Deep Sea of ​​the Bay Area Will Drown the Lakers."

"Caron, come and take a picture for me."

"Ah? What's there to take a picture of with this crappy poster?"

"Just take the photo."

After saying that, Kobe put his hands to his ankles and made a mocking gesture of "You are too short".

There is no doubt that this action corresponds to the saying "The deep sea in the Bay Area will drown the Lakers."

Kobe is still making that point: It's not deep enough here.

The last time he said, the water here wasn't even deep enough to cover his chest.

But today, his movements seemed to say: No, the water here is not deep enough to cover my ankles!
Back in the hotel room, Kobe looked at the mosaic-quality photo on Caron Butler's phone with satisfaction: "Great, I'm going to post this photo online so that the bastards in the Bay Area can take a good look at it!"

"I even recorded a video for you. Uploading videos is popular now. Don't you know YouTube?"

"YouTube? Videos? Some kind of website with lots of martyrdom videos?" In Kobe's opinion, martyrdom content is the only thing that can attract people to video websites.

"Come on, what era is this? Video sites nowadays don't need to rely on pornographic content to attract users."

Kobe immediately turned on his computer to check. A few minutes later, he cursed viciously: "Listen, I will never upload any videos to Roger's crappy website in my life!"

On the computer screen was a piece of news that Kobe had just searched for six months ago: "A wise or foolish investment? Roger becomes a shareholder of the emerging video website YouTube."

On the other side, in the Warriors' locker room, Monta Ellis just walked in and saw a scene on the big TV screen that was enough to make all Bay Area fans grit their teeth.

Kobe Bryant opened his arms and shouted at the technical desk of Oracle Arena, as if declaring that he had conquered this territory.

Monta Ellis stared at the screen for dozens of seconds, then clenched his fists and sat in front of his locker.

After that, every Warriors player who walked into the locker room started the night with extreme anger, just like Monta Ellis.

This scene kept playing on a loop in the locker room, playing while eating and changing clothes.

The scene was everywhere, even on the TV in the therapy room.

And all the TV remote controls were missing, so no one could change the screen.

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore.

"Can someone please stop this damn scene?" Stephen Jackson roared. "This is even more disgusting than watching jackals mating in the animal kingdom!"

Stephen Jackson was definitely qualified to use the word "disgusting" to describe the scene on TV because he failed to block the three-pointer from his former teammate Shawn Marion in the final moments.

"Yeah, turn off the TV, I'd rather watch Charles Barkley kiss Kenny Smith's ass!"

"That's enough!"

The Golden State gangsters began to complain.

At this time, Roger answered firmly: "No!"

As soon as he spoke, the entire locker room became quiet, and then Roger continued.

"You better remember, if we lose today, Kobe Bryant will do it again in front of us, in front of our fans, and it will be a slap on the Bay Area fans. Hey, this is not Colorado, we have to make that asshole pay for what he did!
Enough is enough! We must not let the Los Angeles Lakers and that bastard Kobe win in Mission Bay again! I can punish him, we can punish him! Make him bow his head in Mission Bay!"

"Punish him!"

"Kill him, kill him!"

“The race will never come back to Los Angeles!”

One by one, the Warriors players showed their attitudes. They had no intention of playing in a Game 6 and instead treated Game as the final battle of life and death.

Roger's bold remarks did not surprise Eric Spoelstra, as this is Roger's usual speaking style.

The key is that this approach works.

Roger made everyone on the Warriors even angrier, and they were about to start a hot and bloody "Patriotic War" at the Oracle Arena.

Forty minutes later, the angry Warriors players stood opposite the group of guys in purple jerseys.

The referees preparing to kick off felt like they were in the ancient Roman Colosseum rather than on a basketball court.

Both sides are not trying to win, but to dig out each other's heart and lift each other's head.

This has always been the most distinctive thing about the series between the Warriors and the Lakers. They can always turn a game into a war.

That, exactly, is what makes Roger and the Lakers different.

At the beginning, it was the OK combination that wanted to get rid of Roger.

Later, the Shark withdrew, but Kobe still insisted on having the Lakers continue to be Roger's biggest competitor.

As long as Kobe persists, the Lakers and Roger's team will never be free from the state of war.

The camera turned to the stands of Oracle Arena, which was as star-studded as ever.

Roger's new girlfriend Emily Vega was also sitting on the sidelines. This was the first time she had watched Roger's game in person since they started dating.

She was just curious about how Roger would be like Van Gogh, crazy about basketball and losing his mind for victory.

Because during the time she spent with Roger, she could clearly feel that Roger was a person with quite stable emotions, at least in life.

He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would get angry easily, nor does he seem like the kind of person who would let his emotions take over his reasoning.

She couldn't connect the Roger who "cut the throat" of Lakers fans twice on the court with the polite Roger off the court.

But in the first round of the game, Emily Vega was deeply shocked.

The two sides immediately demonstrated the difference between war and competition, and she saw firsthand how basketball competition can turn men into beasts.

When Stephen Jackson and Shawn Marion were fighting for position under the basket, they both forgot about the friendship as former teammates and started fighting and wrestling for position.

In the fierce confrontation, the two men knocked each other to the ground.

So the referee had to blow the whistle in the first round to control the scale of the game.

Shawn Marion cursed in dissatisfaction: "Stephen, you are like a mad dog!"

Stephen Jackson spread his hands: "Thanks for the compliment, Sean."

The ball was eventually awarded to the Lakers, but the Golden State Warriors had already sent a message: "No one can take the victory away from Oracle Arena today."

For the defending champions, tonight is the final trial of the Lakers, and they will be executed in front of all Bay Area fans.

In the subsequent games, the confrontation and fighting between the two sides were still fierce, which caused problems with the shooting feel of both teams.

Whether it was Kobe, Nash or Shawn Marion who killed the game in the last game, their three-pointers all bounced out of the rim.

The Warriors were no exception, with Jason Richardson, Tayshaun Prince and Stephen Jackson also missing their shots.

Pure open opportunities almost no longer exist. Any player who gets an opportunity by running and takes a shot will be disturbed by the opponent's tight pursuit and defense.

In addition, before shooting, they have already experienced a lot of confrontation, which has consumed a lot of physical energy. So when a player shoots, he has little accuracy left.

Even so, both sides are still fighting tirelessly, and neither mind continuing to increase the intensity of the game, even if this will further deplete each other's touch.

In a league where role players' shooting ability is far inferior to that of the small-ball era, where the legacy of the dark defensive era still lingers, the argument that "shooting can't win championships" lies here.

The higher the intensity, the harder the shots. If you want to win, you have to find a way somewhere else.

Then, the game entered the bloodiest part.

In this situation, the two teams with poor shooting can only attack more efficiently by attacking the basket.

But both sides will use tough rim protection to prevent everyone from scoring.

Just like that, a standard conference finals game from the first decade of the 21st century was presented to the fans.

Crashes and collisions became the main theme, the referee's whistle would sound from time to time, and fierce physical confrontations filled every round and every second of the game.

In this league that has not yet completely softened, in this league where traveling calls are not that lenient, every attack on the basket is a bloody fight between men.

This game once again proved that in the end, defense still determines victory or defeat.

This is a truth verified by the failures of countless offensive teams and the successes of countless defensive teams.

Marcus Camby became the most dazzling gangster of the Golden State Gang today. He swept the entire half court with full energy.

He dived to block shots, stepped back to protect the rim, secured rebounds, and fought for every loose ball.

Not being selected into the All-Defensive Team this season did not make Marcus Camby depressed. Instead, he worked even harder.

In the team culture of the Golden State Gang, if the outside world does not think highly of you, you should not just give up, but instead completely slap the other side in the face with excellent performance.

This kind of thinking, like working hard on defense, has become the instinct of every Warriors player.

Marcus Camby played very well today and laid the foundation for the Warriors' defense.

However, because the Lakers' frequency of attacking the basket was too high, and the tank Kobe's attack on the basket was too fierce during this period, Marcus Camby ended up committing five fouls early in the fourth quarter.

On that shot, the strong Kobe squeezed past Matt Barnes and broke through to the basket.

Marcus Camby had to collide violently with Kobe and get a foul, because if his confrontation was not tough and rough enough, the strong Kobe would definitely be able to finish it.

The referee blew the whistle and Marcus Camby raised his hand.

Then he turned to Roger and said, "I'm sorry, but this is the only way I can stop that bastard."

"You've done great Marcus."

"No, we haven't made that guy pay yet!"

"I will punish him Marcus. None of your efforts will be in vain. I promise."

This is the second time today Roger has said he will punish Kobe.

Eric Spoelstra had to replace the African player in advance to solidify the inside line, and Marcus Camby sat back on the sidelines, covering his head with a towel.

At the free throw line, Kobe, whose touch was greatly affected by the fierce confrontation, only made one of two free throws.

Spo patted Marcus Camby on the shoulder and said, "Your efforts are meaningful."

Marcus Camby shrugged: "Wait until Roger kills No. 15, then we can talk about whether our efforts are meaningful."

Dikembe Mutombo's mobility and jumping ability are far inferior to Marcus Camby. He is a traditional rim-protecting center, which means that his help defense is average and his switching flexibility can only be described as terrible.

But the African Mountain worked very hard after coming on the court, using his enthusiasm to make up for some of his disadvantages in speed and jumping, and continued to support the Warriors' defensive basics.

But Mutombo, like Marcus Camby, has not been free from foul trouble.

Kobe Bryant continued to rampage with his brute body, using his incredible confrontation ability to get himself to the free throw line time and time again.

Soon, Dikembe Mutombo also accumulated 5 fouls.

After Kobe caused a foul and scored a goal, he raised his arms and showed off his muscles: "Roger, is this what you rely on? I will flatten your inside line!"

Dikembe Mutombo covered his chest which was hit by an elbow in the air and swallowed twice.

For a moment, he felt like he was back in the series against the Sharks.

The Lakers led by 7 points after Kobe made the free throw, with less than 3 minutes left in the game. It seemed that the Los Angeles Lakers were going to win again at Oracle Arena.

This round of the series is very peculiar in that neither team can defend their home court, but always wins away from home.

Today, this strange tradition seems to be continuing again.

In a suffocating atmosphere, the Warriors suspended the game.

On the bench, the anger that had been lingering among the Warriors since before the game reached its peak.

"Damn, the referee's whistle was too biased towards the Lakers. I have never seen such an amateur referee!"

"The league just wants to drag the series to a seventh game, those beasts in human form!"

"Damn ugly call!"

Emily Vega was sitting behind the Warriors bench, listening to the vulgar insults, her palms soaked with sweat.

She received a good education and knew that she should not be rude.

But at this moment, she was completely immersed in the game and wanted to yell along with the Warriors players.

She was watching Roger, curious about what the man would say.

Roger did not join in cursing the referee. The Lakers did have a lot of free throws today, but most of them were real fouls.

Facing the onslaught of Kobe, a heavy guard, fouling was the only option. For a star of Kobe's level, it is understandable that there would be some star whistles. In contrast, Roger also caused many fouls on the other side and received preferential treatment from the whistle that others did not have, but his attacking power was not as great as Kobe's.

Moreover, the number of fouls committed by the Lakers was not too outrageous.

At least it's not as outrageous as the Lakers during LeBron's era, when they had 1200 more free throws than their opponents in three seasons.

Roger's attention was not on the call, but on the Lakers' bench.

Can I withstand Kobe playing like this?

Roger saw two Lakers doctors helping Kobe relax his legs. What does this mean? Kobe's leg muscles were very tense.

In the playoffs last season, Kobe broke Roger's ribs and also suffered a minor knee injury.

Basketball games are fair. Giannis Antetokounmpo has a monster body, but his shooting and ball-handling abilities are never top-notch. Chris Paul has the smartest brain and most comprehensive skills in the basketball world, but his height of 183 cm limits him. Nikola Jokic may be the strongest offensive player in history, having broken the high-level statistics dominated by Jordan and James for many consecutive seasons, but precisely because of his great offensive influence, he never had much energy to deal with defense.

In basketball, if you get something, you have to give something.

Likewise, basketball is fair to Kobe. Excessive weight will give Kobe an advantage, but it will definitely take away something.

The enormous pressure on the legs is the price Kobe Bryant has to pay.

Kobe paid the price for this last season, and now, the same story as last season is repeating itself.

Kobe was attacking the rim aggressively today, playing just like Charles Barkley in his prime.

This gave him a lot of free throw opportunities, but it also made his legs tired.

Roger is sure that Kobe is no longer able to do it!
When he returns from the timeout, his lower limbs will no longer be as powerful as before, and his breakthroughs and even shots will be less effective.

If a man has weak legs, he can't even conquer a woman, let alone conquer a competition.

In fact, in the original history, the reason why Kobe later reduced his weight was because he really couldn't bear such pressure and chose to sacrifice some confrontation for the sake of health.

Roger looked at Kobe like this and clapped his hands: "Stop complaining, I will punish him, I promise! Eric, from now on until the end of the game, I will take over Kobe!"

For the fourth time tonight, Roger made a promise to his teammates that he would punish Kobe.

Then, Emily Vega heard the most beastly words of the night: "I'm thirsty, go drink some blood!"

Roger's guess was right. On the Lakers bench, the team's honorable team doctor Gary Vitti yelled at Rudy Tomjanovich: "His legs have reached their limit! He can't play like that anymore!"

Rudy Tomjanovich is not a cold-blooded person, but he has no other choice now.

He only believed in Kobe.

If there is anyone in this world who can be trusted to defeat Roger, it is only him, Kobe Bryant.

A man closest to Jordan and also closest to Roger.

Kobe waved his hands at Gary Vitti: "Don't be so exaggerated. No one can challenge my limits."

He stood up and walked onto the court muttering, "Only by climbing over this mountain can all past failures be washed away."

This is what Kobe has been trying to achieve for 10 years. In the past 10 years, his life has been full of competition. Even when he was facing the possibility of imprisonment, he did not forget about competition.

Everything he did was for that one goal: to surpass Roger.

He would take the game back to Los Angeles and win it all, capping it all off with a narrative of unsurpassed heroism.

The last three minutes, 14VS15, Roger VS Kobe.

The longest basketball TV series in the 21st century has reached the climax of another unit.

Roger walked onto the court and Kobe walked up to him without any hesitation. It seemed that Kobe was also going to take over from Roger in the last 3 minutes.

"Kobe, I'll throw you into the garbage dump, just like Shaq, so you can still talk about those chaotic days." Roger was still rude to Kobe.

"Do you think you can do this?"

“Yes, I think I can do it.”

The game resumed. In the first round, Roger called for a pick-and-roll, pretending to break through, but actually took a three-point shot from the back.

But the ball still went astray. Roger tried hard to regain his touch, but he still hadn't fully adjusted.

The basketball shots were missed and the fierce confrontation turned the game into a hell for shooters.

Kobe adopted a completely different strategy, he wanted to continue to play inside.

But then, Kobe's shot to the basket also ended in a mistake.

Kobe wanted to force his way past Roger, but Roger put a lot of pressure on Kobe.

He could feel Kobe's strength weakening. At this moment, he was like a tank without fuel, and the engine could no longer drive his huge body.

One step behind the free throw line, Kobe was completely stopped by Roger and his legs could no longer move forward.

Kobe wanted to pull up and fade away, but his lower limbs were not strong enough to support him to complete the action quickly, causing his movements to be completely out of sync.

Finally, with a "snap", Roger cut the ball, and at the same time Kobe fell backwards and failed to support his center of gravity.

Roger quickly rolled up the ball, made a fast break, and performed a tomahawk slam dunk!
The score difference was only 5 points, and the Warriors fans were cheering wildly.

"Defense!!! Defense!!! Defense!!! Defense!!!"

Emily Vega also joined in. She had never experienced such a crazy night.

As the game continued, Kobe's running speed began to decline. Roger could easily catch up with him, making it impossible for him to catch the ball.

Steve Nash gestured and called Shawn Marion to come forward to provide cover.

But Marion's size couldn't completely block Tayshaun Prince, who tried hard to defend him, with his long arms covering Steve Nash's head the entire time.

Nash continued to break through and attracted the defense under the basket. With no vision at all, he jumped up and passed the ball around Tayshaun Prince's back and passed it to Caron Butler in the mid-range!
Only a genius could tell how this Canadian guard saw his teammates. Caron Butler still made the shot despite Jason Richardson's strenuous block, and the Lakers continued to lead by 7 points!
Caron Butler howled to the sky, then pointed at his best friend: "This is our war, too!"

"I'm with you." Nash also yelled at Kobe.

"And me, and Sean. Our entire team is your reinforcements. This is a war for all of us!" Theo Ratliff also broke out in emotion.

Kobe has never trusted his teammates so much, not even the fat man who was almost invincible under the basket at his peak.

But the Warriors' offense was pressing forward. In this round, Roger received the ball and pretended to shoot from outside the three-point line, but actually broke through to the basket.

Roger's ratio of shooting and driving to the basket tonight was very balanced, the purpose of which was to make it impossible for the opponent to completely guess whether he was going to shoot or break through.

Roger broke into the inside and faced the ferocious Theo Ratliff. He bravely rushed into him and scored a goal with a five-finger layup even though his body was tilted.

Whistles, cheers, and commentators yell, "This is Roger's 38th point, and he has to add a free throw!"

Roger fell to the ground, but quickly got up and shook his head at Kobe: "This is a losing war that all of you are fighting."

After the cruel declaration, Roger made the free throw and the score difference was 4 points.

In the next few rounds, with the tight defense of both teams, scoring became a luxury. After the Warriors narrowed the gap to 2 points through a tip-in by Marcus Camby, their pursuit stalled. The same was true for the Lakers, who could no longer widen the gap by scoring.

The battle between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, with iron fighting and hand-to-hand combat repeated in every round.

Until 33 seconds before the end of the game, Kobe Bryant had the ball with his back to the basket for a mid-range shot.

At this time, his lower body was no longer so stable, and Roger had been putting pressure on his lower body, holding Kobe's legs tightly.

Kobe knew that his legs could no longer allow him to make a gorgeous fade away, so after receiving the ball, he slowly faced the basket and dribbled between his legs to find the rhythm.

After two crisp "pops", he took a step to the left and then stopped suddenly to shoot.

However, the dry pull-up also requires strong lower limb support.

His legs ached and his muscles were about to cramp.

But Kobe still squeezed out the last bit of strength.

He had endured the humiliation of so many seasons, lost to Roger so many times. 10 years, more than 3000 days of waiting, wasn't he waiting for this moment?

Now that the opportunity has come, he certainly can't let it go!
He wants to kill Roger, and he wants to lead this group of teammates who trust him to victory.

He must have the last laugh!
Now is the moment to decide the winner!

After Kobe's body rose to the highest point, he gently threw the ball. The basketball passed over Roger's fingertips, fell accurately into the basket, rolled up the net, and then fell to the ground.

"Kobe Bryant! He scored this goal facing Roger, which was his 41st point tonight! In the last 28 seconds of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers pulled the lead back to 4 points! Is there another Game ? Kobe Bryant is the player who has played the most Game s with Roger! Is he going to push the king of the league to the brink of death again this year!?"

Kobe landed and ripped off his jersey.

This is another classic scene Kobe left in NBA history after the buzzer-beater in Game 3 of the series.

He faced the best player in the world and scored a goal that might have ended the dynasty.

There was a deathly silence in the Oracle Arena, as Kobe Bryant was only 28 seconds away from conquering the Oracle Arena for the third time in the series.

The camera turned to the stands, where Emily Vega covered her mouth with her hands, and all the Warriors fans around her had solemn expressions.

At this moment, they finally felt the feelings of the Chicago fans back then.

When Roger pressed Jordan to the edge of the cliff, the Chicago fans at that time must have been as nervous as they are now.

But Roger has said countless times that he is not Michael Jordan.

Spoelstra suspended the game. The Warriors needed at least one three-pointer and one two-pointer to win.

But in this situation, it is not easy to score two goals within 28 seconds.

Everyone's touch has been almost exhausted, and now the only person Spoelstra can rely on is Roger.

On this night, the Filipino coach could only choose Roger to end all the suspense.

On the Lakers side, Kobe has drained all the energy from his legs.

Rudy Tomjanovich made a prompt decision: "Caron, you defend Roger!"

Kobe had no objection, he knew that it was impossible for him to catch up with that bastard now.

His heavy weight already affected his speed, not to mention that his legs were completely weak now.

Caron Butler was so nervous that he couldn't speak. He was about to face the most terrifying killer in the basketball world.

But he can only stand up, as he said, this is a war for everyone on the Lakers!
The game started again and the silence in Oracle Arena was broken.

The shouts of “We believe” grew louder and louder, then spread throughout the venue.

The Warriors' progress to this point has exceeded expectations. Even after losing the team's number two player, the team has one foot in the finals. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen?

The Warriors have already created a miracle, so is there anything else that Bay Area fans cannot believe?
Roger could see that everyone was a little nervous.

Especially Marcus Camby, his body was even shaking slightly.

At times like this, it's normal for others to be even more nervous than Roger.

Because Roger can control his own destiny, and the fate of others is in Roger's hands.

It’s like driving. When someone else is driving, you are often too nervous to sleep. You only dare to take a short nap when you are driving yourself.

The reason is that you will feel at ease when the steering wheel is in your own hands.

And Marcus Camby is the player with the least chance to control his own destiny.

If Roger can't run away, Jason Richardson may finish the ball, Tayshaun Prince may finish the ball, and Stephen Jackson may finish the ball.

But this opportunity will never fall into Marcus Camby's hands.

Therefore, he is also the most nervous Warriors player on the court now.

He was shaking slightly until Roger patted him on the back.

"Marcus, is the air conditioning too low?"

"No, I shouldn't die. I feel like I'm facing death!"

"I will punish him," Roger said for the fifth time today. "Besides, you also have the opportunity to control your destiny. Didn't you just complete a tip-in? I know it's more exciting than a rock concert here. But we have to be calm and cool-blooded and control ourselves, OK? You also control your destiny. We are all the masters of this game!"

"OK."

Marcus Camby took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors' sideline ball tactics were executed very successfully. Roger went to the top of the arc and got a shooting opportunity, while Caron Butler was completely blocked by the screen set by Marcus Camby.

Roger got a half-open opportunity, and for Roger this opportunity was not much different from a pure open opportunity.

The basketball went into the net, and Oracle Arena had its first explosion.

Roger did not celebrate because the Warriors were still trailing by one point with only 1 seconds left in the game.

Rudy Tomjanovich paused the game, and his strategy was simple: "Play as long as possible for 24 seconds!"

The Lakers' offense was very patient this time, with Steve Nash controlling the ball near the midfield line.

As time ran out, the Warriors fans' breathing became more rapid.

But the entire Warriors team remained calm and no one fouled Nash in advance.

This means that the Warriors have to go all out and either kill the game or be killed by the Lakers.

If a foul was committed and Nash made two free throws, the Warriors would have enough time to set up a three-point tactic to tie the game.

But the Warriors refused to do so. They allowed Steve Nash to control the time. They only needed the last few seconds to kill the game.

With 10 seconds left on the shot clock, Nash began to approach the three-point line and Tayshaun Prince immediately pressed forward.

The Lakers set up a double screen, and Nash accelerated toward Shawn Marion. As soon as he got out of the screen, Steve Nash saw Caron Butler running back and cutting in along the baseline.

The first-team guard didn't hesitate and pushed the ball out with one hand. Because of the double screen, the Warriors' inside line was already empty, and Caron Butler's counter-run was so deadly.

The basketball was accurately delivered to Caron Butler, who raised his hand for a layup.

If this sneak attack is successful, the Lakers will be completely invincible!
What he raised at this moment was not a basketball, but the fire of hope.

Facing an empty basket, he had a chance to bring the game back to Los Angeles and a chance to put the defending champions in the mud.

Caron Butler made a layup, and hundreds of millions of viewers were watching the layup on TV screens.

Just as the basketball flew to the side of the basket, the restricted area went dark.

Marcus Camby flew over and pressed the ball on the backboard with one hand, making a loud "bang".

Roger was right, everyone was in control of their own destiny tonight.

"Marcus Camby!!! A block that pierced the heart of the Lakers!!! He was not selected for this year's All-Defensive Team, but he is undoubtedly the best defensive player at the moment!!! This is the Golden State Gang, they always have someone who can stand up at the critical moment!!!"

Amid Mike Breen's shouting and Caron Butler's dazed expression with his mouth wide open, Spoelstra used his last timeout.

With 5 seconds left in the game, the Warriors got one last chance to kill it all!

Caron Butler still hasn't recovered from the shock, and he said one thing correctly: "This is our war."

This is true for the Lakers and the Warriors as well.

In the final moments of the game, Spoelstra wanted to replace all players with three-point shooting ability according to his old experience.

But Roger waved his hand: "Leave Marcus here!"

In the final moments, everyone's shooting was not good. If they missed the first shot, Marcus Camby might be able to grab the offensive rebound and give the team a chance for a second attack.

Roger needs to add an insurance policy to this match.

Sibo was stunned for a moment, nodded, and continued to make arrangements.

Sideline balls are a global problem. The ball may not be passed to Roger 100%, so Spoelstra arranged many alternative shooting points.

And when the game started again, Spoelstra suddenly became nervous.

The Lakers simply sent two players to chase and defend Roger, and there was no way he could catch the basketball.

Although many alternative attack points were arranged, no point was more stable and more reliable than Roger's.

Roger tried hard to break free, but Caron Butler seemed to have glue on his hands and stuck to Roger's jersey tightly.

No matter where Roger ran, nearby Lakers players would come to harass him.

They would rather give others a chance to catch the ball than let Roger catch the basketball.

The serve time limit was about to expire, and Boris Dio could only pass the ball to Jason Richardson who was left open.

The guy who killed the game with a three-pointer at the last moment of the decisive battle was very calm. He chose to stay with the Warriors in order to create similar greatness!
Jason Richardson took action without any hesitation.

But the script was not as perfect as he had imagined. The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced off. The power of his shot was too small, and the physical fight that lasted for the entire game had made him powerless.

The Warriors fans could no longer make any sound, and the players on the Lakers bench had already raised their arms high in celebration.

They are about to once again bully the Bay Area fans at Oracle Arena, right in front of the Warriors players!

Until a pair of hands stood out from the crowd and grabbed the rebound, hope lit up in the darkness again.

It's Marcus Camby! He grabbed the offensive rebound!

He also wants to be the master of his own destiny!
When he grabbed the rebound, he was surrounded by Lakers players wearing purple jerseys.

And in the crowd, Marcus Camby saw the man.

The man who promised to punish Kobe.

He handed the ball to him almost instinctively, without any hesitation.

Marcus Camby suddenly felt relieved when he saw Roger catch the ball.

Come on, Roger, come on!
Do what you promised!

Punish Kobe!

Punish that bastard!
Take us to the finals!
Because it was so chaotic just now, when Roger received the ball, there was no double team around him, only a panicked Caron Butler.

Mike Brin swallowed, he knew that a team was about to die.

"Marcus passed the ball to Roger, and Roger took a three-pointer. BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!! The game is over, the game is over! Roger made the shot at the moment the red light came on, and used 44 points in a single game to create a wave, so that the water in the Bay Area finally drowned the Los Angeles Lakers! The Golden State Warriors made it to the finals for the third consecutive year, and the miracle of three consecutive championships is getting closer and closer!"

After the ball went in, Roger turned to face the Warriors fans, and with veins popping out of his neck, he screamed madly: "No one can conquer this place, no one can!"

At that moment, Emily Vega witnessed how crazy Roger would be for victory.

Eventually, Roger punished Kobe.

A punishment that is absolutely unforgettable.

Roger was quickly overwhelmed by the Warriors players rushing onto the court, and Mike Breen also calmed himself down.

He glanced at Kobe, who was once again disappearing in the confetti, and sighed.

“Roger created a great show, and yes, it hurts, but you have to give him credit.”
