Chapter 125
【125】Blast! A lore shot from a negative angle!
Under the tens of thousands of fans' nervous gazes, the basketball flew over the court and whizzed towards the basket.
At this moment, time seemed to stop and the earth seemed to stop turning.
All that could be heard was the heartbeats of countless people, converging into a huge river.
""Shua!"
The basketball went into the net, piercing the heart with a beautiful splash.
Su Mo stole the ball from Kobe and then made a three-pointer, leaving the game still in suspense.
Warriors (100): (102) Lakers.
The difference between the two sides was 2 points, with 33 seconds left in the game.
""Zen Master" Phil Jackson requested a short timeout.

If they couldn't score, the Warriors would have the chance to win the game with the last ball.
In the Oakland Arena, Su Mo's three-pointer made the Warriors fans at home very excited and cheered.
But the fans were more nervous and worried.
The same was true for the Lakers fans.
On the commentary desk, Mike Brin and Van Gundy almost exclaimed that it was normal, but at the last critical moment of the game, they calmed down.
Although the voices were calm, the tension in their hearts was overwhelming.
"It's incredible. Su Mo's three-pointer after stealing the ball from Kobe just now was really incredible!"

In the CCTV NBA live broadcast room, Su Mo's three-pointer made Coach Zhang, Yang Yi and others cheer and cheer, extremely excited.
"Su Mo's three-pointer was really amazing, but now the pressure is still on the Warriors. They must do a good job in defense next time!"
"That’s right, don’t take it lightly. If the Lakers hit the next shot, it will be extremely difficult to turn the tables!"
"At the critical moment, the Lakers will most likely choose to let Kobe play alone. It depends on whether Su Mo can successfully limit Kobe!"
Back on the court, after a short break, the game continues.
The Lakers serve the ball in the frontcourt.
Kobe quickly got rid of Su Mo's defense with the help of his teammates and received Gasol's serve in the backcourt.
Dribbling across half court, Kobe faced Su Mo again.
At the suffocating moment, the countless hot and nervous eyes in the Oakland Arena were all fixed on Su Mo and Kobe.
Time is passing by every second.
For the Lakers, their goal is naturally to consume the 24 seconds of offensive time as much as possible, and then ensure that this goal is scored.
If they can really score a goal while consuming the 24 seconds as much as possible, then for the Lakers, they can say that they have basically grasped the victory in their hands.
It will be difficult for the Warriors to turn the tables.
Kobe's eyes are firm, with flames burning in his pupils.
He must hit this ball.
In Su Mo's pupils... Also burning with a strong will to fight, his teeth clenched, a fierce aura emanating from his body.
He must defend Kobe on this ball.
The offensive time passed quickly, 10 seconds, 8 seconds, 6 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds...
Kobe moved.
It was still the familiar ball control operation, still the familiar fadeaway jump shot.
Su Mo jumped up with all his strength, but still couldn't reach Kobe's shot.
Sometimes, you know what the opponent will do next, but you still can't stop him.
Kobe's fadeaway jump shot is exactly like this.
This may be the power of a superstar.
The basketball flew out from Kobe's fingertips, flew over Su Mo's fingertips and head.
At this moment, Su Mo could only pray silently in his heart.
Tens of thousands of hot eyes were now fixed on the flying basketball.
Su Mo looked back, and his eyes suddenly shone.
The basketball playfully swung around the basket for a few times, and finally fell out.
""Bang!"
Su Mo had come to the basket without knowing when, and jumped up angrily to grab the rebound.
The Warriors fans at home just breathed a sigh of relief, but then fell into tension again.
Warriors head coach Nelson quickly called a timeout.
There were only 8 seconds left in the game.
Warriors (100): (102) Lakers.
Su Mo had a chance for a buzzer-beater.
Could he seize this opportunity?
On the Lakers side, Kobe shook his head and lamented, blaming himself.
At the same time, the flame of battle was always burning in his eyes. In the next 8 seconds, he would defend Su Mo to death no matter what.
Got a buzzer-beater?
Kobe didn't like that feeling.
On the commentary desk, Mike Brin was extremely excited and shouted at the topic again,"A buzzer-beater, finally a buzzer-beater. Will this be the first buzzer-beater in Su Mo's career?"
"Su Mo has already scored 67 points. Will this last goal make him the youngest 70-point player in history?"
The Warriors fans are looking forward to it, hoping that Su Mo can seize this buzzer-beater opportunity, but they also know very well in their hearts that it is really challenging to kill the Lakers with Kobe.
And there are only 8 seconds left in the game.
The fans of the away Lakers are praying silently in their hearts at this moment. If they say that they are not worried about being killed by Su Mo, it must be a lie.
Because although Su Mo is a rookie, his strength has long been obvious to all.
After the timeout, the game entered the last 8 seconds.
The Warriors served the ball in the frontcourt, and Su Mo finally received Jackson's serve through continuous pick-and-rolls by his teammates.
Su Mo came to the three-point line with the ball and motioned to his teammates to open it.
At this moment, Kobe, who was standing opposite Su Mo, also bit his jersey tightly, motioning his teammates to defend the opposing players. He You have to defend Su Mo alone.
The most exciting moment, the most shocking matchup.
Time flies, 6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds...
Su Mo faked and wanted to break through the basket, but was stubbornly blocked by Kobe.
Without any hesitation, Su Mo dribbled the ball directly to the right, hoping to find a good shooting point.
Kobe's defense followed him like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to Su Mo's body.
Su Mo came directly to the bottom corner, and saw that the time on the timer was only 1 second left.
Without thinking too much, Su Mo jumped up with all his strength, drifted over a large range + leaned back, and completely avoided Kobe's flying defense.
At this moment, Su Mo was completely forced into the negative angle of the bottom corner by Kobe.
