22 seconds before the final game, 96 to 90, the Suns led the Lakers by 6 points.

The Lakers have the ball right, they are ready to serve the sideline ball.

"Defend Kobe! Defend Kobe!" Steve Cole shouted in a loud voice, "At this time, you just need to stare at Kobe!"

The Suns' defensive deployment, as Cole said.

No one defends the sideline ball.

Laga Bale used all his strength to hit Kobe, and Marion, who should have defended the sideline ball, was stuck in front of Kobe.

The two best defenders in the Suns, one in front and one behind, clamping Kobe into a sandwich. The Lakers didn't expect to send the ball to Kobe in one go. There was 22 seconds, just make sure to catch the ball smoothly and hand it over to Kobe smoothly.

Compared to the risk of being a straight-shot Kobe needs to bypass two people, the third party takes the ball and then passes it to Kobe requires two pass steps, but the safety index is the highest.

Odom sent the ball to Wei Xia who rushed out of the basket.

Tim Thomas chased after him.

In order to create a chance for Kobe to catch the ball, Odom ran to the basket after serving the ball. Kobe had a realistic move to get out of it. Marion did not dare to let Odom into the empty city, so he gave the position in front of him to Kobe. So Wei Xia successfully handed the ball to Kobe.

His mission has been completed, and the rest depends on Kobe.

Facing the future members of the best defensive lineup of the year, Kobe got the ball from Wei Xia's hand, one meter away from the three-point line. Wei Xia, who passed the ball to him, didn't even have time to pull the position, so he pulled up.

The biggest difference between Kobe and Jordan's offensive end is that the former lacks the latter's high-intensity defense, and it also has a sense of heavy feeling of sinking into the dantian and exerting the palm of the palm of the hand.

No matter how good the defense is, Jordan's offense always makes people feel that the defense is still a bad breath. And Kobe, he can make his teammates and opponents produce at the same time: Damn that's it?

Then, with a sound of silly! The time stopped at 17.9 seconds.

93 to 96

"The Suns faced the simplest defensive choice in the world and handed out a 0-point answer!" Cole said in disappointment.

The Lakers are still desperate, they have no timeout, and the Suns don't need to call timeout.

They sent the ball to Nash, who had a free throw shooting percentage of 92%, and waited for Wei Xia to foul him.

Two free throws, 98 to 93.

The Lakers, who have not been suspended, need to take a long pass.

But Kobe couldn't have a chance to catch the ball, and Odom's long pass was put into Wei Xia's hands.

Such a fast pace? Not what Wei Xia is used to? But he has to take action.

His three-pointer finally hit the right side of the basket and flew out? 9.8 seconds left? Kobe fouled against Bale, who got the defensive rebound.

He saw Wei Xia in a daze on the spot, and came over and patted his head.

If Wei Xia is right? His meaning is probably "got a good shot".

Kobe's comfort is priceless, but Wei Xia is not happy at all.

They are sure to lose.

Bale only scored one of his two free throws? 99 to 93? 6-point gap, 9.8 seconds. Although the 9.8-minute Miller moment occurred on the NBA, the current Lakers obviously have no basis to replicate what Miller did to the Knicks.

The Suns no longer block Kobe from receiving the ball by blocking his wings.

Marion forced Kobe to a position two and a half meters away from the three-point line? A size that was one or two steps away from out of bounds? Kobe shot as soon as he got the ball. With a very difficult ball, the basket burst out from the front, leaving 6.3 seconds. The game was actually over at this moment. Wei Xia grabbed the offensive rebound? He then returned to Kobe.

Another three-pointer.

it's over.

99 to 93

With a 6-point gap, did the Suns beat the Lakers?                                                       

"If I were a Suns player? I wouldn't be too happy," Cole said. "They almost lost the second game."

Albert agreed with Cole's words: "Yes? They were once very close to losing the second game? If the Lakers can play steadily in the third quarter."

"Although they lost the second game? The Lakers have proved their strength. If the Suns can't wake up, it will be difficult for them to break through the first round."

Cole and Albert's summary is meaningless to both sides.

Wei Xia's mood was as if she was pressed against her chest by a big stone, so heavy that she didn't even want to say anything.

He scored the second highest score in the team: 22 points.

At the same time, there are 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

The team has the second largest rebound, the second largest assist, and the second largest score.

As the sixth man in the main defense of Nash, his performance was wonderful, but he missed a key three-pointer. If that ball could be made, the score could be tied. The Lakers did not have to foul the Suns. The best players on both sides used their offense to decide the outcome. By then, Kobe, who owned the Lakers, would never lose to the Suns.

Once again... Wei Xia couldn't help but think of the key goal he lost to the Timberwolves in the regular season.

Just as he was about to be autistic, Kobe came over and pushed him hard.

If Wei Xia hadn't been stable in the lower plate, he would have fallen badly.

"Even if I miss the key ball, you don't have to treat me like this, right?" Kobe was relieved to see that Wei Xia could still make jokes.

"Yes, your mistake is simply unforgivable, but I don't blame you. Let Phil come, he is more professional." Kobe said calmly.

Wei Xia turned around and ran into the on-site reporter who had been waiting for a long time.

They asked him about his mood for missing the key shot.

"It seems like someone was punched in the face." Wei Xia said vividly.

Then, the reporter asked a question that was easy to make trouble: "Steve Nash had a hard attack under your defense. Many experts think that Coach Jackson replaced you in the third quarter was a mistake. What do you think?"

It is not surprising that experts have such a view.

Nash scored 29 points in the first three quarters, with 6 points in the fourth quarter and 35 points in the game.

It can be seen that his offense is mainly in the first and third quarters.

In those two quarters, one quarter was when Parker played in form, but later Wei Xia couldn't help but come. In the other quarter, Wei Xia was replaced after three-pointers, and then he was even more out of control.

In the relatively sluggish second and fourth quarters, Wei Xia was the main defense throughout the whole process.

Experts who don’t play but are good at observing details and analyzing data will naturally conclude that Wei Xia can ban Nash, and it is a huge mistake for Jackson to replace him in the third quarter!

For the need to maintain stability, Wei Xia helped Jackson find a reason: "No, I applied for the end. I played for a long time and felt very tired."

This is called too much words and mistakes. Wei Xia forgot that the second half had just begun.

His speech made the public's doubts about Jackson, and Jackson naturally believed that Wei Xia had ulterior motives.

"How do you think of the two games in Phoenix?"

"We had a good confrontation, and most importantly," Wei Xia said seriously, "we gained confidence."

It’s not the confidence that you feel strong, but the confidence that “we can win the sun.”

In the two home courts of the Suns, they won and lost one. The second game was very close to victory. Although they did not hold the lead, the Suns themselves also had problems.

Their defense is very bad, Nash himself is easy to become a breakthrough, and it is still the backbone of the entire team. If his performance is problematic, the Suns will have to finish playing.

This is the Lakers' advantage.

He also relies on the performance of his leading stars. If Kobe transforms into a little blacksmith in Los Angeles, the Lakers can reduce his positional offense.

The Lakers' organizer is not Kobe, he is just a tool guy who attracts double teams on the offensive end.

If his teammates were not too unsatisfied sometimes, he would be full and fight five every day? Who doesn’t like to use one-on-one to solve the opponent with a fake move with his left and right hand? There would be no chance.

The Lakers can still survive without Kobe, but Nash was drowned in minutes if the Suns were missing.

This is the difference, the essential difference.

Wei Xia is not the only one who has this idea.

"We know we have the ability to beat the Suns, and the series is basically the last round," Kobe felt like Wei Xia. "It will be a very difficult series. I think we have to play well and stay aggressive. We should play with an invader mentality and get them done with this mentality."

The reporter said that the outside world is not optimistic about the Lakers' promotion.

You can tell if you look at the Phoenix brand on the other party that you are not good at the visitor.

Kobe replied with a dark face: "The outside world has not been optimistic about our entry into the playoffs for a while. So, we didn't care about the outside world's views before, and now we don't care about it."

The gossip reporter asked Kobe and Nash about the first quarter of the matchup, asking if they were old enemies or if they were Liangzi or something.

"I won't say that we are old enemies. They are very competitive, and we are very competitive, so the game between us has been very fierce, but not a old enemy. We have a good relationship off the court, but on the court, we will try our best to win. That's it, he is the top defender in the league, and so do I. We have all beaten each other. We have a good relationship off the court, but on the court our duty is to win."

The most critical question about mvp.

Kobe rolled his eyes like Wei Xia, but unfortunately he didn't do it properly.

Wei Xia's eyes rolled her eyes and she had the effect of squirting trash talk. Kobe's slutty imitation seemed like a sign before foaming at the mouth after eating poison: "I don't care."

Kobe was bombarded by the media, and he was very adaptable.

Jackson was asked no less than Kobe, after all, he made a very controversial substitution.

The reporter's first question was quite friendly, and he asked him what he thought of the defeat.

Jackson calmly replied: "Before the second game, we told ourselves that we would play better than the first game. And when we go back to home, you have to play better than the first two games. The series has just started in the third game, and we hope to win the third game, and if we can't, try to win the fourth game, we always have to win."

Then, here comes the reporter's question is like a bomb.
