NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 800

The game favored the Lakers as expected.

The Lakers went ahead by 5 points in the second quarter, and the main players of the two sides participated in the rotation in the second half. In the second half... after O'Neal took over the offensive banner, his state was far from being as fierce as the beginning. The smaller Li Shengli, the downward fluctuation of the state is obviously more gentle. In the third quarter, he exerted strength and led the team with Kobe to lead the team by 6 points again, with a total of 11 points entering the final quarter.

Every game in the finals is extremely important.

The Celtics felt the crisis, Pierce immediately became courageous, and the team's situation improved. Just like what Barkley said in the studio, the brave Pierce greatly liberated the offensive capabilities of O'Neal and Garnett. In the last 26 seconds, the 11 points were reduced to 4 points, and the ball was still in possession.

Just 4 points is embarrassing!

If the Lakers don't make mistakes, unless they play 3+1 and drag into overtime in one round, they will have no chance at all, and the only way is to use foul tactics to get the number of offenses, that is, let the Celtics get two offensive opportunities , interspersed with a free throw opportunity for the Lakers.

Let's talk about the free throw in the middle first.

If 2 of 2, that is a 6-point difference, the Celtics must make two three-pointers, and if 2 of 1, the point difference is 5 points, then at least one of the two shots must be a three-pointer to guarantee a hit. In overtime, as for 2 for 0, the probability is not high, but no matter what, it is still necessary to fight for a three-pointer in the first round.

In other words, the Celtics will definitely try their best to hit three-pointers this round, and the players currently on the field have three-pointers...

O'Neill is definitely hopeless.

Even when the Celtics decided to use foul tactics, they didn't even play O'Neal, but instead used substitute center Tony Batty, even if the rules in the last 2 minutes were favorable to O'Neal.

On the one hand, because the team played three-point tactics, O'Neal's role was not great, and the rebounds produced by three-pointers generally collapsed farther away. O'Neal, who was physically bottomed out, did not have the running effect that Pitino wanted. On the other hand, I was also afraid that the three-point plan would fail, and O'Neal really touched the rebound.

You know, even if O'Neal can touch the rebound, there is a high probability that he is not at the basket and cannot directly play a second offense. If he is fouled, he may not have a guaranteed 2 points, so even if this substitution makes many people It's hard to understand, but I can't fault it. On the contrary, Tony Batty has good physical fitness, runs around, and can give a little fight.

There is Garnett, it is estimated that he will not execute the last three points.

He averaged 1 three-point shot per game and made 37% of his shots. Although he can fight, it is obviously more important to partner with Tony Batty to defend the rebound and strive for 2 points in the bottom line.

The rest are Pierce, Burrows, and Overton.

This lineup is basically the starting lineup of the Celtics, with many rotations in the middle, but in the end these five players are still playing, and that season...Pierce averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game and hit 34.3. 2 hits and 41 hits. If you really want to fight for a three-pointer, both of them may make a shot.

……

"Come on, Crotty, keep an eye on it!" Bryant yelled after he took the defensive position. He was taking care of Barros.

"Know!" Clottey waited for Pierce on the three-point line and yelled, "Ron, come with me and leave the others alone."

"Damn, what should the boss do in there?"

"Don't talk nonsense, keep the three-point line!" Li Shengli no longer needs to care about the position of the opposite center, the rebound that the ball may produce is the most important thing, "And Fisher, you also go outside , hold on to this wave and it will be over!"

"Damn, here they come!"

"Don't be in a hurry!"

"Take time first, as long as you miss the defense, foul quickly!"

Everyone knows how to play in the last 2 minutes. Although the Celtics own the ball, the initiative is in their hands. When the Celtics rush over quickly... the Lakers' three-pointer in the backcourt The line was heavily guarded, and Garnett immediately stood up and gave Pierce a cover as soon as he reached the three-point line.

"Grass, it's Pierce, Crotty quickly follow!"

"I can't keep up, Ron, come on!"

"Go ahead, let me do it!"

At this moment, the audience held their breath.

Everyone saw that Garnett went down to the penalty area after the pick-and-roll and partnered with Tony Batty. On the other side, Pierce threw off Crotty's winding defense and won a momentary opportunity to match up with Artest. The Lakers The generals immediately understood the candidate for the key ball, and the Celtics still decided...Pierce.

Too much pressure!

Pierce is under a lot of pressure, and Artest is also under a lot of pressure, but there is no room for more consideration in the nick of time.

It is impossible for Pierce to go to the right with the ball. Crotty is on the right, and it is impossible to step back for a three-pointer. Crotty can still catch up, so he can only move laterally to the left and intend to rush to the three-point line. 45 degree angle position.

What the fuck?

Can't I catch up? !

Artest was going crazy. He was already slow and could only watch Pierce hit a fixed-point jumper. Assuming that this three-pointer was scored, if he lost the game, he would be blamed. Next... A lunge, the right hand straightened up and tried to interfere as much as possible, and the left hand straightened to threaten Pierce's pants.

"Pierce, pants!"

"Me, grass, mud, horse!"

Pierce's face turned red when he saw Artest rushing over, because Artest yelled and made his body tense slightly, but this fatal key ball could not tolerate any interference.

I don't know if Artest's interference worked, or Pierce just couldn't hit it.

Anyway, this three-pointer was not scored, and for the Celtics...the most wanted three-pointer was not scored, and the rest can only use the frontcourt to fight for the bottom 2 points, but the problem is Li Shengli's position Getting closer to the rebounding point, he jumped up and grabbed the rebound with a slam, and there were 16 seconds left in the game.

According to the predetermined plan, the ball must be fouled.

Even if the difference is still 4 points, there is still a chance to fight 3+1.

If possible, Artest, who made the worst free throws, would definitely be the best, but the problem is that Li Shengli, who caught the rebound, stood still, his eyes glaring like copper bells, and he glanced at the Celtics every day. A guy who wants to rush up and foul.

What the fuck? !

Old Li... Does this familiar look want to kill someone?

……

Garnett's hairs stood on end and he thought to himself... Damn, Li's eyes definitely want to hit someone.

Tony Batty saw that Garnett was not moving, and immediately understood that it might be time to draw lots to determine life and death, but he often played in the paint. Horses can't go either, or... let's have a fall, be real!

"What are you bastards doing?"

"Damn it, go up and foul!"

"Pierce, Barrows, Overton, come on, fuck him!"

Celtics coach Pitino saw Tony Batty's ugly left foot tripping and wrestling with his right foot, and he had mixed feelings. O'Neal saw Garnett standing in place and was heartbroken. The two could only hope Be braver than the other three.

but……

Pierce will be talking to Artest.

Barrows and Overton rushed over, but Li Shengli held the ball with both hands and held it high, which reminded the two brothers of the famous Li Big Elbow and Ma Big Elbow in the Jazz Age... The victim of Ma Big Elbow had 40 seams The needled Thomas, Robinson who was in a coma for 3 minutes, and the victims of Lee Big Elbow were fucked to the retired Lambir and Gugliotta who suffered a severe concussion.

Damn, if this elbow falls...will we die?

So, the brave Burrows and Overton rushed to Li Shengli and ran around in a circle. They ran decisively without looking back, and ran without any muddle.

In an instant, there was an uproar in the Garden Arena... From Garnett, who was punished to stand, to Tony Batty, who stumbled with his left foot and his right foot, to the Baoou brothers who refused to look back and bravely turned back, the entire Boston fan base cried.

As for Artest, who is still flirting with Pierce...

To be honest, the young Artest couldn't care less about arguing with Pierce anymore. Looking at the fierce Li Shengli, his eyes showed a strange look, and he almost worshiped...getting the ball at the last moment can make the opponent even Don't have the courage to foul?

What is this riding horse?

This is the deterrent force of brutality to the extreme, and this riding horse is my idol for Artest all his life.

From now on... If I don't elbow a few boys, how can I have the nerve to admit that I have played with my idol? !

……

The people present at this time had different thoughts.

Maybe it’s because the Celtics have very little chance of a comeback, which is usually not the case, but in any case, it still consumes a lot of time, and the chance of a comeback is getting smaller and smaller... The Celtics gave up defense , The Lakers did not force the last 16 seconds until the referee blew the final whistle and declared the end of the game.
