Chapter 77: A one-legged shot that made the world stop!
The Staples Center is eerily quiet right now.

After scoring Kobe's 2+1, Wang Yan excitedly shook his finger at the fans at the scene.

To be honest, this was a celebration that would earn you a technical foul, but in such an occasion, the referee kept his whistle shut.

"This is incredible! Wang Yan is not only going to score 80 points, but he is also going to tie Kobe's record!"

Zhang Weiping's voice was excited and full of disbelief at this time.

"Yes, 81 points in a single game. As long as Wang Yan makes this free throw, he will be tied for the second highest single-game scoring player in NBA history!"

"And in front of the original record holder, Kobe Bryant!"

This game is no longer about winning or losing. If I had to use any word to describe this game, it would be just one word.

Fun!

Wang Yan had a scoring duel with the former scoring king Kobe Bryant, and even scored 81 points in front of Kobe, which was Kobe's greatest pride.

After stepping onto the free throw line, Wang Yan made the shot easily.

81 points!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we should stand up and welcome the birth of a new great moment!"

"Wang Yan scored the 81st point of the game thanks to Kobe Bryant's shooting foul!"

"He tied with Kobe Bryant for the second-highest single-game scoring record in the NBA!"

"He is also the third player in NBA history to score 3+ in a single game!"

As the free throw hit
Charles Barkley at Staples Center introduces this great moment.

"I don't know how to describe Wang Yan's performance tonight. If possible, it should be a battle against the gods!"

It is not an exaggeration to describe Wang Yan's performance tonight as a battle against the gods.

Of course, this is also because Charles Barkley is really at a loss for words.

No words can describe Wang Yan's madness tonight.

Even the Lakers' home court was filled with applause.

Wang Yan convinced the Lakers fans at the scene with his strength.

"It's coming, it's finally coming!"

"I know that I might be late for 80+ in a single game, but I will never be absent!"

"The key is that this ball was aimed right at Kobe's face!"

"81 points in a single game, no three-pointers, and there is no suspicion of scoring inflated points!"

"My brother Wang is invincible!"

At this time, fans all over China were completely crazy.

However, Wang Yan remained calm and focused at this time.

the reason is simple.

After this goal, the Cavaliers only had a 2-point lead.

If I score 81+ and lose the game, then the 80+ points will be meaningless.

Kobe had the same idea at this moment.

Even though he allowed Wang Yan to score 81 points, as long as the game could be won, everything would not be too bad.

As for Staples' home scoring record, there is still a long time to go and there will be a chance to catch up in the future.

Winning the victory is the key.

Neither team lowered the intensity of the game, and the intensity of the confrontation remained the same in the remaining two minutes.

After some exchanges of experience in ironing, the game finally came to the last minute.

The Lakers attacked, and after Lamar Odom dribbled the ball across half court, he immediately passed the ball to Kobe.

"Oh!"

Kobe jumped high and caught the ball with one hand, and Wang Yan behind him immediately came up to him and gave him a full fight.

"This is what I want to see, guys!"

Seeing Wang Yan start to defend Kobe one-on-one, Charles Barkley showed extreme excitement on his face.

"This should be the first time in this game that Wang Yan took the initiative to defend Kobe one-on-one!"

Wang Yan is ready to defend Kobe one-on-one.

However, what surprised Wang Yan was.

The moment Kobe received the ball, he didn't make any adjustments and just faded away and shot a jump shot.

The speed of the attack was extremely fast, without any unnecessary movements.

Wang Yan was caught off guard and even though he raised his arm and stretched out his five fingers, he still failed to block Kobe Bryant's super high arc fadeaway.

"Oh!"

The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced high, but then still bounced into the basket by spinning.

Kobe broke the Lakers' two-minute scoring drought.

"Oh my god!"

An incredible voice immediately came from the commentary booth.

The Staples Center also exploded instantly.

"Directly facing Wang Yan's finger and shooting a difficult fadeaway shot, this is not a reasonable shooting choice!"

"But Kobe was still able to score. Wang Yan's one-on-one defense gave Kobe great fighting spirit!"

However, Kobe's difficult two-point shot still failed to reverse the score.

The Lakers are still one point behind.

…………

The Cavaliers attacked, Irving dribbled the ball to the center line, and Butler and Holiday were on both sides of the wings respectively.

At this time, Wang Yan was entangled with Kobe and fought all the way to the elbow area.

"Oh!"

After receiving the ball, Wang Yan slammed it hard and attacked the basket frantically.

Like Kobe, Wang Yan's offensive choices are quite decisive.

But unlike Kobe, Wang Yan decisively chose to attack the basket.

After pushing Kobe away with his shoulder, Wang Yan shot high and broke into the basket. Facing the help defense of Bynum, the little shark, Wang Yan raised his right hand high, with fire in the air.

But in the final stage of the shot, he glided and changed hands, avoided the defensive interference of the Little Shark with his left hand, and made a layup.

“This is Michael’s move!”

At this moment, Magic Johnson in the Staples VIP room immediately screamed.

Wang Yan's move was a complete replica of Michael Jordan's century-long turnover.

Magic Johnson was at the game at the time, so he still remembers this move vividly.

But the magician couldn't get excited at this time.

The Lakers are still trailing by three points, with only 20 seconds left in the game.

"Shit!"

Seeing Wang Yan's outrageous goal, Kobe couldn't help but curse.

But Kobe could do nothing.

The Lakers had already done their best in the defense just now, but Wang Yan was possessed by the God of Basketball, and he couldn't make a mid-air layup even in his prime.

At this time, Zen Master Jackson had already called a timeout.

They needed a three-pointer to tie the score.

“We didn’t have to try to shoot the two-point shot.”

After the Zen Master finished speaking, he looked at Kobe and gave him affirmation and support: "Because we have Kobe, I believe Kobe can hit the target in one shot."

Then the Zen Master drew a catch-the-ball three-point play on the tactical board.

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Fisher and took off Oberm to add a shooting threat.

At this moment, the Staples Center was so depressing that it seemed as if even the air was about to squeeze out the water.

The tension spread to every corner of the arena, and even felt like the heart was in the throat. Artest made a free throw from the sideline and passed it directly to Kobe, who dribbled to the right behind his ear.

Old Fish Fisher stood in the right corner.

Suddenly, Gasol set a screen, but Wang Yan had anticipated it and set a screen in advance to prevent Kobe from directly shooting a three-pointer.

However, the Lakers also took double insurance. The next moment after Gasol was promoted to maintenance, Artest continued to move forward to provide screen.

Double cover!
Even though Wang Yanren wanted to squeeze through the screen, he was still blocked by the Lakers' double screen.

Irving, who was in the open field, hesitated and did not give up Fisher in the corner to help defend Kobe.

After all, Fisher's big heart is not even worse than Kobe's, and it may be useless to help defend from this distance.

"Shh!"

Kobe made an emergency stop and shot a three-pointer.

Even though Butler had already jumped, Kobe's touch was strong enough to make a three-pointer.

hum!
The moment the goal was scored, the Staples Center was filled with thunderous cheers and screams.

The tense atmosphere just now was immediately relieved.

"Oh hoo!"

"It's in! Kobe made a three-pointer to tie the score, and the two teams are tied at 118-118!"

"Oh my God, the Lakers played a very exciting three-pointer tactic, and Kobe was ruthless in his shots. This is a goal that Kobe only scored when he was the scoring champion, and he has already scored his 62nd point of the game!"

In the TNT commentary booth, the two gold medal commentators were completely blown away.

In the live broadcast room of Tianchao, Zhang Weiping was also very excited: "62 to 83, this is really a game of 60 points against 80 points!"

"That may not be the case now."

Yu Jia also said: "If the two teams went into overtime, maybe it would be 70 points versus 90 points."

The two teams are now tied. If they fail to seize the last attack and enter overtime, it is possible that Kobe and Wang Yan, who are in hot form, will score even more points.

So, in the end, both sides entered overtime.

Or did the Cavaliers kill it with one strike?
Amid the tense anticipation of fans around the world, Byron Scott, who had a timeout opportunity, did not call a timeout.

After the Eight Wise Kings passed the ball to Irving, the referee did not blow the whistle, so he took the ball directly across half court.

"What's going on? Byron Scott didn't even call a timeout to plan the final attack."

In the live broadcast room of Balcony 5, Zhang Weiping was a little surprised, but he quickly understood: "But this may not be a bad thing, because the pause gives the opponent time to arrange their defense."

"Besides, the Lakers now have Fisher on the roster. When he returns from the timeout, he will most likely replace Odom, which will make their offense more difficult."

"There are less than 10 seconds left. What is Owen thinking? Hurry up and give the ball to Wang Yan. Don't delay anything."

Now it was the turn of the Chinese fans to get nervous.

As we all know, no Chinese player has ever made a buzzer beater in the NBA.

As strong as Yao Ming is, he still left his opponent 0.8 seconds for his buzzer-beater in the playoffs.

It was these 0.8 seconds that allowed the Yellow Mamba to make the famous three-pointer that would win the game.

Therefore, the record of Chinese players' buzzer beaters in the NBA is 0!

Can Wang Yan become the only one in history?

"Give me the ball!"

Just as Irving was trying to find an offensive opportunity, Wang Yan opened the five fingers of his right hand and pressed them against Kobe's chest.

At the same time, he opened his left hand and shouted at Owen.

Bang!
As expected, at this moment, even a strong player like Irving has to step aside.

When the gods are fighting, stay away!
Wang Yan got the basketball, and all the other Cavaliers players dispersed.

The entire space on one side of the court was opened up to provide Wang Yan with a one-on-one play.

"Don't even think about passing the ball, rookie."

Before Wang Yan launched his attack, Kobe gave him a vicious look, like a black mamba saying, "I will give you a three-point miss."

Kobe's words were undoubtedly a challenge to Wang Yan's psychological quality.

However, Wang Yan had no intention of passing the ball at all.

"I never thought about passing the ball."

Wang Yan raised his lips and smiled evilly: "Because this is my hunting time!"

After saying this, there were only 5 seconds left and Wang Yan started.

Half turning around, Wang Yan placed his body between the basketball and Kobe, then dribbled with his left hand, trying to get rid of Kobe.

And just when Kobe was approaching the room, Artest suddenly rushed out from the side and tried to steal the basketball from Wang Yan.

"Double team!"

"It's a double team! The Lakers finally double-teamed Wang Yan in the last defense, during Wang Yan's buzzer-beating round!"

Kobe stuck to Wang Yan's right hand, forcing Wang Yan to pass the ball with his left hand. At the same time, Artest, who came over from the left, double-teamed him.

Say something.

Artest jumped out like a tiger rushing down the mountain, but Wang Yan raised his hands high and dodged with the ball.

Although he didn't get the ball, Artest was happy.

The goal has been achieved, Wang Yan is now in a dead ball situation!
More importantly, Kobe did not lose his position.

Dead ball + double team!
There are only two seconds left!

There is hardly any room for maneuver!

"The Lakers' double team directly forced Wang Yan to stop the ball!"

"Their defensive tactics worked, it was a perfect defense!"

"There's no room for shooting anymore, we can call a timeout!"

Zhang Weiping hammered the table in the live broadcast room and gave suggestions.

And just when Byron Scott was hurriedly trying to call a timeout.

Wang Yan told Byron Scott with his actions.

No need to pause!

No space to shoot?

Wang Yan's body is made of hard stuff!
While Wang Yan held the ball with both hands, he pushed the ground with his left foot and raised his right leg!
He relied entirely on his core strength to support the stability of his upper body and shot a one-legged fadeaway jump shot.

When seeing this action, fans at the Staples Center all held their breath.

Even Kobe and Artest, who were defending Wang Yan, paused.

Golden Rooster is independent!

This move again!
Wang Yan used this trick no less than three times tonight.

And every time, the Lakers players were left with nothing but helpless hands.

In the slow motion, Artest's fingers were less than two centimeters away from the basketball in Wang Yan's hand.

Kobe in front also tried his best to jump up and block the shot, but was blocked by Wang Yan's knee.

Whoosh!
The basketball flew in a terrifying rainbow arc and even flew out of the camera.

Let the fans stare at the orange basketball in the air

All the fans in the Tianchao area felt their blood stop flowing and their hearts stopped.

This basketball flying in the air seems to carry the expectations of 100 billion people!
Beep...

The basketball was still on the rise, but the red light indicating the end of the game had already come on.

boom!
Wang Yan also leaned back to his limit and fell to the ground.

Swish!
next moment.

A crisp sound of the net echoed in the Staples Center!

The ball went in without leaving a second for the opponent.

Staples, it's eerily quiet at the moment!
