With 9.9 seconds remaining, Derek Fisher inbounded the ball to who else? Kobe Bryant.
When Bryant dribbled to the top of the arc, he was immedialty doubled by Shawn Marion
and Jason Terry.
The problem with Jason Terry doubling on Bryant is that he left his man, Derek Fisher,
wide open for a three-pointer.
The Lakers,
playing against the defending champions Dallas Mavericks, fought
an intense
and emotional game. Lamar Odom received a standing ovation from
a
heartbroken
crowd, but that wasn't the most remarkable moment of the night if you
watch the
fourth quarter. The Lakers and Mavericks had an extremely low scoring
game,
battling it out each quarter with pride and the goal to win on their
minds.
Kobe Bryant,
the star everybody is interested in, tries to score 40 points in the
game to
continue his streak. After a long and intense game, the fourth quarter begins.
There are 9.9 second left towards the end of the fourth quarter.
Tied at 70,
the Lakers
will try to shoot a quick shot to gain the lead. The Dallas' defense
assumed
they were
going to inbound to Kobe Bryant so he could attempt the shot, but sadly
they
were wrong.
Derek Fisher, Kobe's old teammate, takes the fame for the day. He passed
it to Kobe,
and Kobe makes a quick move back to pass to Derek Fisher who was wide open
for the
three pointer.
Fisher sets his feet, gets a good look,
jumps, releases, and is rewarded with the sweetest
sound of a
swish. Derek Fisher gets his day of fame, and is well deserved. At 37 years
old,
Derek proves he is
still a fighting machine. He's never the top scorer or the best handler in
the
league, but after
all the practice he’s had over the years, he knew it was his time. He
never
quit at his job no
matter how old he has gotten because he has proven that the flame
on his candle
is still lit. This
article proves that too much ambition does not lead to disaster
because this
shows how too much
ambition just rewards you with your success from all
your hard work and dedication.
If you don't have ambition, you don’t have goals. If you
don't set goals, you
will never reach
success.
