Chapter 518 Try Your Best!

Two points cannot stop the current bleeding speed of the SuperSonics. The Lakers' current offense is too unsolvable, and with Sakuragi guarding Kobe, Chandler under the basket can't compete with Yao Ming on the rebounds. This will make The Lakers have more opportunities for second offense, which will also make the Lakers dare to shoot 3-pointers from the outside.

Therefore, either he has to find opportunities to play outside and tie the Lakers in scoring, or Sakuragi has to break through himself and find a way to defend Kobe and choke off half of the Lakers' offense.

Otherwise, there is only one last move... let Sakuragi give up guarding Kobe and instead get into the basket to compete with the Lakers in the paint and rebounds.

But to be honest, there is a high probability that it will be useless. After all, if we really want to completely let go of Kobe, who is in full swing at this time, then everyone may no longer need to grab rebounds... because there are none!

So there are really not many options now.

Either he can find a way to score 3 points or 2+1, or he can only rely on Sakuragi to break through.

As long as he can stop Kobe and put all the pressure on Dayao at the basket, he can use the speed of transition between offense and defense to wear him down. After all, Dayao is indeed too slow.

Lin Dong took the time to glance at Sakuragi Hanamichi.

At this time, Sakuragi's expression was cold and focused, his face flushed, and he didn't notice Lin Dong's gaze at all, as if he had completely entered his own world.

It feels...at a threshold.

The excessive concentration put all his muscles and thinking in a tense state. This was obviously not a good sign, and his performance might get worse and worse or even lead to a dead end.

But that concentration, tension and pressure may also help him complete the final transformation!

Lin Dong withdrew his eyes. It seemed that he could only continue to resist on his own and give the guy more time!

…………

Lin Dong's frankness just now obviously surprised the Lakers. Even if he is as upright as Kobe on the court, he feels that if he were in such a situation, it would be difficult to say that he would give up the 1 point he could get by opening his mouth.

Some people might have reciprocated politely at this time, and their murderous intent would inevitably be reduced by two points, but that was not the case with Kobe Bryant.

The stronger the opponent and the more dissatisfied the opponent is, the more intense his will to fight will be.

"Lin!" Kobe no longer paid attention to Sakuragi Hanamichi who was tensed in front of him, but looked ahead at Lin Dong who was blocking Nash, and grinned at him: "Many people are discussing your historical status this year, what do they say? I don’t care, but I think you have surpassed Michael. If it were the old guy, he would not give up that 1 point. You are the real king and a respectable opponent. It is a pleasure to play with you.”

Michael Jordan, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching the game, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, feeling a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.

MD I treat you as a brother, you treat me as a favor!

And... wouldn't it be pleasant for you to play ball with me? What a new guy!

Lin Dong responded with a smile: "Isn't the number one in history meant to be surpassed?"

"Hahaha!" Kobe laughed: "Yes, so I will definitely surpass you, and today, the winner will definitely be our Lakers!"

"Really?" Lin Dong just smiled and looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was concentrating on blocking Kobe.

What's the meaning?

Kobe's mouth curled up slightly.

Do you want me to completely destroy this guy before I can be qualified to challenge you and surpass you?

If someone else expressed such a meaning to him, Kobe would be dismissive, but...

There are only two people in this world worthy of his challenge, one is the former Michael Jordan, and the other is Lin Dong in front of him.

To put themselves in the position of challengers to face them, and even to set up obstacles before challenging them, these two people have the qualifications.

If you dare to draw the line, I dare to pick it up!

Kobe ignored Lin Dong and turned his attention to the red hair in front of him.

This No. 10's defensive skills are really strong. In terms of strength, speed, agility and even defensive awareness, he is not inferior to Lin Dong. He is the strongest defender he has ever encountered.

It's a pity that he is facing a completely new and transformed version of himself. Now Lin Dong can't stop him, and neither can this guy in front of him!

In fact, Kobe could see that the mentality of the guy in front of him was about to explode. This was a big taboo for defenders...

Then I will completely destroy you first, and then surpass that guy!

Sakuragi was also staring into Kobe's eyes at this time.

Whether it was the conversation between Lin Dong and Kobe Bryant, the voice of the host on the sidelines teasing Jordan, or the cheers from the audience, the obsession with winning or losing, the desire to win or lose... everything was at this moment. At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi was automatically excluded from his mind.

At this time, there was only one crazy idea left in his mind - block him, block him, block him!

The moment the two looked at each other, Kobe could see the extremely hot look in the other's eyes and the heart that seemed to be obsessed with obsession.

I have had this feeling before, when I faced Lin Dong.

With the rapid secretion of hormones and the burning of blood, his current strength, speed and other physical qualities will be greatly improved.

But correspondingly, it is a decrease in ‘IQ’.

God is always fair. While the anger of self-blame gives you strength, it will also deprive you of your reason.

Kobe felt like he could see a shadow of himself in this guy.

It is true that the world is brighter after taking this step, but this step is also the most difficult to take.

It took me a whole year, but how long does it take for this guy in front of me?

A faint smile hung on Kobe's mouth.

It's a very special feeling to abuse your former self.

"Are you ready?" He said to Sakuragi Hanamichi with a smile.

Sakuragi Hanamichi ignored him, his eyes were as cold as two ice blades, and the next second...

Odom in front of him had already come up with the ball.

Whoosh!

Kobe shook his left shoulder and made a fake move.

Sakuragi felt that his body was in an extreme state of explosion at this time, even better than ever before, and his consciousness was also paying full attention. At this time, he followed closely, followed by Odom behind him who came forward to try to attract Sakuragi's attention, and then Kobe turned around and ran back.

But Sakuragi, who had already suffered a loss once, was not distracted by Odom behind him this time.

In other words, his attention was all focused on Kobe Bryant at this time, and he didn't even notice Odom coming forward.

Stare at the man in front of you!

Since you can't think of a good way to crack it, then go to extremes. Brother Gaoren said that as long as you do anything to the extreme, you can also be invincible!

At this moment, there was only Kobe in his eyes, as if he was the source of all evil. He just needed to catch up with him and catch him, but the next second...

Kobe suddenly disappeared in front of him, replaced by a huge figure.

Bang!

Sakuragi bumped into a huge monster, Yao Ming!

The transitional persistence and concentration made him ignore the positions of other people on the court. When he ignored Odom, he accidentally caught up with Kobe's rhythm, but Kobe's passive pick-and-roll running towards Yao Ming made him suffer a big loss.

At this time, he was blocked by Yao Ming who was standing at the edge of the paint area. Kobe had already gone around from behind Yao Ming, and with just a turn, he got rid of Chandler who hurriedly switched defense, and Odom's pass also flew at this time.

Kobe tried to make an alley-oop, but fortunately Chandler relied on his height and long arms to desperately jump up to interfere and destroy the alley-oop opportunity.

Kobe caught the ball, and the two fell, but Kobe's burst and jump speed were obviously better than Chandler, and he was far ahead of the opponent.

Chandler hadn't stood firm after landing when Kobe jumped up for the second time.

The basket was close at hand, and the dunk was a sure thing, but just as his hands approached the basket, he saw a big hand suddenly stretched out from Yao Ming's head and blocked him fiercely through Yao Ming.

Sakuragi Hanamichi!

Although he was blocked by Yao Ming, just like he always knew where Gao Renxiong was even if he didn't look at him on the court, Kobe Bryant was the same in Sakuragi's eyes at this moment.

Even though he was blocked by Yao Ming, he could fully feel what Kobe was doing.

His extreme concentration made him ignore some of the actions of other people, but it also made him know Kobe's movements very well!

Block him! Stop him!

His unparalleled belief and persistence made him ignore the 226-centimeter big man in front of him at this moment, as if he was a piece of transparent glass.

Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped with all his strength. The surge of hormones and adrenaline made his jump height quite terrifying. Even though Yao Ming was in the middle, his arm that blocked Kobe had even reached the upper half of the basket.

This was a jump from the spot, not a run-up...

He put one hand on the surprised Yao Ming's shoulder, his eyes red, as if the whole world was left with Kobe behind Yao Ming and the basketball in his hand.

His palm slapped Kobe's basketball with great precision.

Block him!

"Roar!" Sakuragi Hanamichi roared uncontrollably.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines was stunned. What is this? Block? !

Kobe's eyes flashed with surprise. Although he knew that the guy was in the period of rapid adrenaline secretion, this burst was too strong. He actually blocked himself through a 226-centimeter super center... This is not only not something that humans can do, but it is not even something that a normal person should have.

However, the surprise was only for a moment.

If you are blocked by the opponent even though Yao Ming is in between you, then you have really wasted your time!

If you defeat this guy's will, you can challenge the last demon king. If you have to hide even when facing this guy, what qualifications do you have to challenge Lin Dong? !

This ball, now!

Kobe also ignored Sakuragi's palm, and did not even dodge. His two big hands held the basketball tightly like iron clamps, ready to be photographed by Sakuragi. If you dare to shoot, you dare to 2+1!

Three or four years of obsession and the desire to surpass Lin Dong made Kobe Bryant's face flushed at this moment, and he poured it into the basket without hesitation.

Poor Yao Ming became a "sandwich cookie" at this moment.

He subconsciously chose to protect it with both hands, and took a half step back. If he didn't step back and chose to fight against Sakuragi Hanamichi, then with the height of Sakuragi Hanamichi's jump, no matter whether he could block Kobe or not, he would definitely fall headfirst.

Although the game is important, no matter what kind of game it is, there is no need to destroy someone for a ball or a momentary impulse.

But this kindness undoubtedly gave Sakuragi more room to play. His whole face was flushed red by the surging blood. With the help of his hand on Yao Ming's shoulder, the height and angle of the block were extremely sufficient. There was only one voice left in his mind: Stop him!

One side was determined to dunk, and the other side was desperate to block.

The two looked at each other, and at this moment, they saw the unstoppable eyes of each other.

Beyond the skill and the limit, at this moment, only the will of the two people to decide the winner exists.

Snap!

Boom!

The crisp sound of the hit, accompanied by the violent vibration of the basket, echoed in the already stunned stadium for a long time.

The huge God Stadium was extremely quiet at this moment, everyone stared with their mouths wide open, so much so that even the referee was stunned for a moment and forgot to blow the whistle.

Dunks are common, and blocks... Sorry, I have never seen this!

And this instant collision was so shocking that many people didn't even see whether the basketball was dunked in.

Beep!

The referee finally came to his senses at this time under the reminder of the sound in the headset, and quickly blew the whistle.

"The goal is valid, the No. 10 hitter of the Supersonics fouled, and 1 penalty was added!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who landed, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the electronic scoreboard.

He had tried his best in the last goal, whether it was his physical reaction or his concentration, he had already reached the ultimate, but why...

On the electronic scoreboard that automatically scores points, the numbers started jumping.

103:99!

At this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.
