Under the initial traffic guidance of Mr. Big Beard, Qin Yue found himself in a one-on-one situation with Odom on the left side of the court.

In this play, neither Mim nor Cook dared to rashly assist in defense.

Therefore, Odom, who carried the hopes of an entire village, had to face Qin Yue alone.

Thud, thud.

Controlling the attack time, observing Odom's defensive stance, after noticing that his center of gravity subconsciously retreated a step, Qin Yue first accelerated, then decelerated, and afterward...

Re-accelerated, charging straight into the Lakers' restricted area!

Under the basket, to avoid fouling, Mim only gave symbolic interference.

Qin Yue soared and scored a layup.

128 to 127!

At this time, the "Zen Master" still had no intention of calling a timeout on the sidelines.

On the court, after Fisher dribbled past the half-court, there were only 43 seconds left in the entire game.

Even though, on the right side of the court, before Kobe received the ball, Richardson did everything he possibly could with pushing and pulling...

But.....

He still couldn't prevent Kobe from getting the ball.

Moreover, just as Kobe received the ball, no one expected him to shoot immediately, catching and throwing!

Swish—!

On the court, Kobe made his sixth three-pointer of the game, bringing his personal score to 70 points.

70 points...

"My God, that's a genuine 70 points!"

On the sideline, Montgomery called a timeout, with 36.8 seconds left to end the game.

The Warriors had ample time to execute the next offensive play.

But during the timeout...

The entire Warriors team, including the head coach, made a collective decision to attack quickly.

Because if the Warriors chose to quick-attack, then even if they missed, they would still have a chance for a final play.

Proven by facts, this team decision had a miraculous effect.

After the timeout, because the Lakers focused their attention on the Warriors' perimeter, Little Deng Liwei decisively cut into the Lakers' basket upon seeing the situation, and after receiving an assist from Davis, tied the score at 130 all.

This attack took the Warriors less than 7 seconds.

Therefore, knowing that regardless of whether the Lakers scored or not in the next possession, they would leave the Warriors with a final attack opportunity, Kobe, after dribbling past half-court, did not rush to initiate the attack.

On the court, while patiently dribbling to consume time, Kobe took a deep breath.

Then, after controlling the attack time to a point he felt relatively confident about...

Kobe dribbled right past Richardson.

This was a dribble breakthrough that left Richardson helpless.

Just watching the playback, you couldn't feel how much mind game Kobe played with Richardson before the dribble breakthrough.

So much so that when Kobe really picked up speed, Richardson simply couldn't keep up.

But fortunately, Davis moved in advance to prevent Kobe from advancing further.

However, as the Warriors' defense became completely disorganized...

Kobe instantly found Brian Cook, who was selectively left open due to the Warriors' switch defense.

Although due to being overly nervous before receiving the pass, Cook wasn't in his designated three-point spot, a straightforward two-point jump shot was enough to help the Lakers secure victory in the final moments.

Swish—!

Of course, the premise was that the Lakers could defend the last 9 seconds.

In the Staples Center, following Cook's jump shot from Kobe's pass and scoring, it was 130 to 132.

In front of the technical table, with the home fans' cheers echoing through the dome, the visiting Warriors called their final timeout.

During this timeout, on the Warriors' side, head coach Montgomery mainly emphasized how to catch the ball.

On the Lakers' side, Jackson emphasized not giving the Warriors a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

After the anxious, annoying, and almost unbearable waiting period...

Returning from the timeout, the Warriors delivered the frontcourt sideline ball.

At this moment, the entire arena of Lakers fans were loudly chanting "Defense, defense."

The tremendous noise created by the home fans almost caused the Warriors players, lacking critical phase experience, to make a mistake while delivering the sideline ball.

It's just that...

Although Little Deng Liwei finally managed to get the ball to Richardson's hands, it disrupted the Warriors' original tactical setup.

Seeing that Richardson couldn't initiate the attack immediately, Davis hurriedly ran up and shouted, "Give me that damn ball!"

In the next second, Richardson successfully handed the ball to Davis.

But as time passed...under Kobe and Fisher's double team, Davis still couldn't find a passing route or an opportunity to attack on his own.

At that moment, Mr. Big Beard, using his peripheral vision, glanced at Qin Yue on the other side and showed his decisive side.

After taking a deep breath, Davis, under the double team, forcefully threw the ball to the other side of the court.

This was a highly risky lateral pass.

Davis admitted he was taking a gamble.

But he was betting...

That the tall and long-armed Qin Yue could use his static talent to catch the basketball before Odom and make the shot!

In the Staples Center, when Kobe turned around, he just saw that scene of Qin Yue grabbing the ball with one hand in mid-air.

Then, having already noticed that there was still time before catching the ball, Qin Yue...

Even managed to fake a shot to shake off Odom, who was trying to block him.

At this moment, with a clear mind, Qin Yue vertically jumped up and immediately made the three-point shot that instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Watching the basketball flying through the air...

Qin Yue, who had previously discussed crucial shot experiences with Evans, didn't have any flashback memories cross his mind.

But for some reason...

When he made that shot...

He just felt that it would definitely go in.

So almost instantly, Qin Yue had already thought of his celebration move in his mind.

Swish—!

In the next second, as the ball went in and the timer stopped, in the suddenly dead silent Staples Center, even though the joy of the game-winning shot exceeded Qin Yue's expectations, even though the excitement in his heart could jump out from his chest at any moment, even though every cell in his body was trembling frantically, Qin Yue still managed to suppress his excited heart and the already swirling blood within his body...

On the court, Qin Yue clasped his hands together, placed them by his ear, and slightly tilted his head, officially completing his finishing move with a "Goodnight gesture"!

Golden State Warriors, jersey number 30, finished with a goodnight gesture after his game-winning shot.

In Qin Yue's view, this was very fitting.

"Goodnight, Los Angeles!"
