I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 190 I want to kill you here! (big chapter)

As the game entered the fourth quarter, not only did the atmosphere instantly become anxious, but the players' breathing became more and more intense.

The Lakers' first offense used the OK combination to attract the defense, and passed the ball to Robert Horry, who was feeling hot in the third quarter.

However, the Bucks didn't do nothing during the break between the third and fourth quarters.

George Karl had already made a targeted arrangement, sending Tim Thomas to defend Horry at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

If O'Neal hits the basket with the ball, Tim Thomas will help defend O'Neal. If the ball is in Horry's hands, Tim Thomas will use his physical fitness to interfere.

Horry is a player with a big heart. When the ball is in his hands, even in the face of interference from defensive players, Horry will not hesitate to shoot resolutely.

However, Horry's three-point shooting percentage is actually about 43%. Although it is already very good in this era, the shooting percentage is here.

Today's hit rate has exceeded 70%, which is obviously abnormal.

Therefore, the ball was unsurprisingly missed under the interference of Tim Thomas.

Originally, the Lakers had O'Neal under the basket, and the Lakers had a world-renowned Los Angeles blacksmith like Kobe, so they were not afraid to hit the iron too hard. After all, O'Neal was good at grabbing offensive rebounds.

But this shot was a three-pointer, and the point where the rebound landed was out of O'Neal's control.

It was too late and then too fast, He Li used Joel to get stuck in O'Neal's position, and ran towards the rebound's landing point first.

After all, the two players on the weak side of the Lakers were still behind He Li, and O'Neal and Kobe were blocked by the Bucks defenders respectively. It was no surprise that He Li grabbed the ball.

After the transfer of the ball, Kobe reacted faster and returned to defense immediately.

But Cassell and Ray Allen also immediately turned around and made a fast break.

Kobe thought that He Li would pass the ball long and handed the ball to Kassel, so he settled down early and blocked Kassel.

Unexpectedly, He Li is more courageous. After hitting Horry, he has returned to defense and is about to catch up with Ray Allen. He Li still passes the ball over the heads of the crowd, and leads Ray Allen to jump up and catch the ball.

Because there are still three steps away from the basket, Ray Allen can't take advantage of the opportunity to catch the dunk.

Fortunately, Kobe was taken away by Cassel. After Ray Allen landed, he took a big step forward, picked the basket with his fingertips, and sent the ball into the basket lightly.

89 to 85, the Bucks once again opened the score in the round when the Lakers should have tied the score and even overtook it.

However, missed shots are still inevitable.

At this stage of the game, Kobe didn't trust other players very much, and most people on the field felt that Horry could still shoot.

Therefore, the Lakers still passed the ball for the next attack, and then handed it over to Tim Thomas for Horry singles.

The Bucks naturally attach great importance to Horry.

Tim Thomas played less than 20 minutes today. He has sufficient physical strength to defend Horry, and he is also very patient when defending. He gives enough physical confrontation. Anyway, the referee does not blow the whistle easily today.

Horry wanted to shake his shoulders and use fake moves to shake Tim Thomas' center of gravity, and Tim Thomas also adjusted in small steps in time, resolutely not to take off easily.

Tim Thomas' physical condition and static talent are really exaggerated.

Just simply standing on the ground, without jumping at all, as long as one hand is stretched out to stop Hori in this way, Horry's shooting difficulty will be greatly increased.

"Duang!"

Horry hit the iron again with a three-pointer. Fortunately, Horry's shot seemed a little lighter. The ball bounced from the basket and fell not far away. The offensive rebound was grabbed by O'Neal again.

After O'Neal grabbed the rebound, he got up impatiently and dunked.

Joel next to O'Neill was also very anxious when he saw it, and hugged O'Neill with his left hand without saying a word.

It's not the first time Joel has executed shark-slashing tactics, and he knows the horror of O'Neal in recent years.

Joel couldn't stop O'Neill with just two hands, let alone one now.

In order to avoid two plus one, Joel had no choice but to make a bad move. After the left hand had already shot, he immediately used his right hand to shoot from a hidden corner, punching O'Neal in the waist, and then spread his palms, pretending to hug O'Neal.

O'Neal was attacked and obviously stagnated in the air, and because the dunk action became a little incoherent, he lost a little bit of strength for no reason, and finally the dunk turned into a two-handed layup.

As a result, the basketball naturally failed to get his wish and fell into the basket.

Of course, the referee still called Joel a defensive foul.

However, O'Neill was still very angry, and wanted to ask Joel for a theory after landing firmly.

Encountered in this situation, He Li even wanted to laugh when he saw it, and even wanted to hang on to it as nothing to do with himself, hoping that O'Neill would take the initiative to fight Joel.

The starting centers of the two teams were expelled together, which must be a big profit for the Bucks.

Without O'Neal on the court, He Li would not have to defend two on the weak side.

However, O'Neill is still rational, or timid.

The Bucks had always adopted a double-team attitude towards O'Neal. When O'Neal confronted Joel, Tim Thomas and He Li were on the sidelines.

After playing for a season, even He Li, who is clean and self-sufficient, must rush to protect his teammates and support Joel at this moment, the first time.

So did Tim Thomas, who surrounded O'Neal from the other side.

At this time Kobe also rushed towards O'Neal, wanting to protect O'Neal, the boss who did not convince him.

However, Kobe will not let go of any teammates easily, even if he doesn't get along well with his teammates.

However, before Kobe arrived, O'Neal voluntarily withdrew from the baseline and approached the referee on the sidelines to argue.

Garnett, who was thousands of miles away, saw this scene on TV, and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu...

With O'Neal's retreat, there was no further conflict in this game.

In this regard, many fans still feel very sorry.

Even because O'Neal was going to execute free throws next, many viewers in front of the TV chose to go to the bathroom.

However, the on-site commentary took advantage of this time to explain enthusiastically: "The Lakers need other players to stand up and help the OK team share some offensive pressure.

In the third quarter, Robert Horry has done well enough, but the Bucks have Tim Thomas with excellent physical talent!

Tim Thomas completely blocked Robert Horry's three-pointer!And also prevented Robert Horry's breakthrough route. "

"That's right, so far, the Lakers have only three ways to go!
Either use the physical strength of the OK combination prematurely.

But in this way, there will be a hidden danger of lack of physical strength at the critical moment in the last few minutes and not being able to hit the key ball.

Either there are more role players who can stand up, surprise, and help the team chase points.

But other Lakers players are not like Robert Horry, who can shoot after catching the ball. Most players need to hold the ball to master the touch.

In the end, we can only use defense to win the victory, and resolutely refuse to give the Bucks a chance to play an easy ball.

The Bucks are a team that is extremely good at playing fast breaks!
The Lakers have to prevent the Bucks from fast breaks, so they can be sure that they will not lose a lot of points in a short period of time, which will lead to regret before the end of the game. "

"It's worth mentioning that the Bucks have taken the lead in further improving their defensive strength."

"Yes. The offensive state of the two teams today is good. When each other uses offense to determine the outcome, the defensive end will inevitably relax.

It has to be said that the Bucks realized this before the Lakers.

In comparison, it is easy to make everyone mistakenly think that the Bucks are the team with two consecutive championships and rich experience in the Finals. "

You need to score to win games, but defense wins championships is not just empty talk.

In this game, He Lidu focused his work on the defensive end, which is enough to prove the attitude and determination of the Bucks to win this game.

In comparison, the Lakers are indeed a little looser.

Having said that, O'Neill was fouled by Joel, coupled with fighting and retreating, he lost his courage, and the first ball went straight to free throws, which made O'Neill stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, this is the first ball, so it is not considered a violation, and you can continue to shoot the second free throw.

However, O'Neal in this state is obviously not very good. The previous three non-sticks also made O'Neal quite speechless. In order to avoid making a fool of himself again, O'Neal had to work harder, and this time he finally hit the iron.

Because O'Neal was too concerned about not shooting three shots, he didn't immediately rush forward to grab a rebound.

The Bucks had more people grabbing rebounds at the basket, and this defensive rebound was grabbed by Tim Thomas.

At this time, O'Neal came back to his senses, but the Bucks had already started a fast break.

Basically, it's four-on-five, and the Bucks are not fraught with fast breaks, after all, they are ahead in scoring!

Cassell would come, and knowing that Joel had been defending, he took advantage of O'Neill's failure to return to defense, gave Joel a cake, and rewarded Joel.

Ever since, the Bucks extended their scoring lead to 6 points with the help of this lob.

The Bucks scored 4 points in a row, and the Lakers hit the iron frequently. Zen Master finally couldn't sit still. He called a timeout immediately after playing just over a minute into the fourth quarter.

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers wanted to use Kobe's breakthrough to score more open shots for Horry and others.

At the beginning, the Bucks were also worried that Kobe would break through and pass the ball to O'Neal under the basket. They were worried that the number of fouls would not be enough, so they tried to avoid O'Neal from receiving the ball.

This led to two more three-pointers made by the Lakers.

But soon, the Bucks players vaguely realized that they didn't seem to care about this.

Ever since, the Lakers, except for the OK combination, were guarded by the Bucks again.

At most, He Li will miss one person on the first defense and second side.

However, although Kobe can pass the ball, he is not a magician after all. In addition, he has not practiced passing the ball in these years and his skills are unfamiliar, so he cannot pass the ball to the right person in the first time.

Facing the defensive strength of the Bucks, the Lakers don't seem to have the opportunity to pass the ball again and hand it over to the OK combination.

After a few turnovers, both Fisher and Fox dropped several pitches.

Of course, there are progresses, but the shooting rate is not high, and it cannot relieve the urgent need for the Lakers like Horry did in the third quarter.

"It seems that the Lakers can only rely on the OK combination to have the last chance of a comeback."

As soon as the on-site commentary fell, O'Neal suddenly broke out and stood up to take over the game.

O'Neal is smart when he plays the game. Seeing that the Bucks' inside players gradually no longer care about him, he took the opportunity to ask for the ball to steal a wave.

In such a high-intensity game, no one can withstand the players he wants to keep an eye on all the time.

O'Neal kept a low profile for four or five minutes, and suddenly asked for the ball in the low post, which was also unexpected.

Of course, O'Neill's outburst frightened Joel, and he subconsciously reached out to grab it.

As a result, in addition to sending a two plus one, Joel has committed 5 crimes.

In order to protect Joel, George Karl had to let Joel go.

Battelle came up again to defend O'Neal, but Battelle was also burdened with 4 fouls.

But fortunately, when the Bucks paid attention to O'Neal again, O'Neal couldn't get the ball, even if he asked, he was beaten severely, and then stood at the free throw line.

No way, after the Lakers' offense stagnated, Kobe had to force a shot and barely score.

With the last 2 minutes left in the game, the score was already 103 to 95, and the difference between the two teams was about to widen to 10 points.

Unexpectedly, Fisher suddenly came to the savior, taking advantage of Cassell's inattention to complete the steal, exactly the same as when Horry stepped up in the third quarter, stealing a fast break, chasing a three-pointer, and helping the Lakers narrow the point difference to 5 points.

But ten seconds later, Ray Allen helped Cassell respond with a goal.

After all, it is a team game, and Kassel does not necessarily have to respond.

And then, Fox also suddenly stood up and made a three-pointer against He Li's defense.

This is still really a show of people and ghosts, and the fat people in the restricted area are being beaten.

O'Neal had thought that he would become the Lakers' savior at a critical moment.

Kobe also thought, you give me the ball and let me kill the game.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, one player was braver than the other, and Horry wanted to stand up, but Fisher stood up first.

Immediately afterwards, Fox also continued Fisher's touch and helped the Lakers hit a key three-pointer.

Perhaps it was his teammates who infected Kobe and completely ignited Kobe's fighting spirit.

After He Li responded with a three-pointer and hit the iron, the counterattacking Lakers passed the ball into Kobe's hands. Kobe was also tough against Ray Allen's defense and hit the three-pointer with a picturesque fadeaway.

"A fairy ball, Kobe Bryant scored this ball from an incredible angle!"

"The situation is suddenly reversed. If the Bucks cannot withstand the pressure, they may be defeated by the Lakers."

"Consecutive three-pointers, Kobe Bryant's goal is really critical!"

The Lakers scored 3 three-pointers within half a minute, not only maintaining the suspense of the game at once, but also causing a serious blow to the morale of the Bucks.

Encountering this kind of thing at a critical moment in the finals, the Bucks players who lack the experience of the finals may indeed be counterattacked by the Lakers and completely smashed.

"1, 2, 3, the Lakers championship!"

While the Lakers fans were shouting wildly, He Li once again caught the ball outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer.

"No one can stop us, all resistance is futile!"

He Li used practical actions to resolutely play against the Lakers players, trying to turn the tables and say no.

He Li's three-pointer strongly helped the Bucks regain blood. In the remaining 1 minute and 08 seconds, the Bucks, who have a 5-point advantage, are not very stable, but they do have a great advantage.

Of course, the most important thing is that He Li can boost the morale of the Bucks team.

At the critical moment, He Li, the head of the Bucks, still stood up.

In the next round, the Lakers did not rush to use free throw tactics, but chose to pass the ball patiently to O'Neal.

This time O'Neill also lost his temper. As soon as Battelle reached out to O'Neill, O'Neill turned around with an elbow, and then slapped Battelle with his back.

When O'Neal hit the space to take off and dunk, Battelle was knocked to the ground.

In the regular season, this might be an offensive foul.

However, after the whistle sounded this time, the referee awarded a defensive foul, and O'Neal had another penalty.

Cassel heard about this and immediately stepped forward to reason with the referee.

But after arguing, the referee didn't blow a T to Cassel, and Cassel didn't beep too much, but just patiently watched O'Neal make free throws.

After all, when Battelle was knocked over by O'Neal, his hand was indeed on O'Neal's body, and it barely made sense to say that he violated the cylinder.

Anyway, the final interpretation is in the hands of the referee!

Besides, can O'Neal make a free throw?

Really can!
Obviously Battelle and O'Neal also had physical contact, O'Neal didn't seem to be affected this time, and still made a free throw.

As a result, the difference between the two teams was reduced to 2 points.

If the Bucks fail to hit the next goal, it is very likely that they will be tied or overtaken by the Lakers after grabbing a rebound.

Encountered in this situation, George Karl was forced to call a timeout, rearrange tactics, and also adjusted the player lineup.

In the last 43 seconds, the Bucks sent Cassel, Big Dog, He Li, Tim Thomas, and Anthony Mason to the lineup.

All five guys are offensively capable, can run the fast break, and are not bad free throws.

Next, the most important thing for the Bucks is to score the ball and expand the point difference to 4 points, so that it will be safer.

So as not to be in a hurry in the last few seconds.

Although the big dog's defense is not good, Ray Allen is already tired enough today.

At this time, perhaps the physical strength of the big dog will bring some help to the Bucks.

In the same way, going to Anthony Mason at this time is also considering this point.

Joel and Battelle are both 5 fouls, and they beat O'Neal for the whole game, and they are indeed exhausted.

It might as well let Anthony Mason, the stocky rebounder, take over the last shift, maybe there will be miraculous effects.

The Lakers saw that the Bucks were on such a lineup that said they were tall or short, and they didn't know which one to defend for a while.

They can only mark at half-court and perform their duties.

Cassell chose to hand the ball to Big Dog, because Kobe was defending He Li, and Big Dog was facing Fox. Naturally, Big Dog stood up to Fox without saying a word.

It was just one step. The big dog, who was not fast in the past, actually used his not-so-great physical talent to pass Fox, and then came to the middle distance where he was best at.

Because Fox was unexpected, he didn't expect the big dog to be so fast suddenly, so he didn't take a foul strategy against the big dog, and stopped the clock by fouling to fight for a chance to comeback.

At the same time, O'Neill saw that the big dog was about to shoot in the middle distance, so he no longer obsessed with squatting in the penalty area, but killed it from the penalty area.

At this juncture, no one wants to win. Victory overrides everything. Even if O'Neill doesn't like Kobe threatening his status, as long as he can win, it doesn't matter if he bears it!

"I'm the boss of the Lakers, don't even think about scoring in my field!"

O'Neal defended it, and it can even be said to fly out.

At this time, the big dog has already taken off, and even completed the shot.

"High throw! No, this is a predictive alley-oop!"

"Anthony Mason didn't realize it at first, but it doesn't matter, the ball was still caught! The second take-off, dunks with both hands! With 21 seconds left, the Bucks lead by 4 points!"

I have to say that Big Dog played very calmly and witty this time. Even if Big Dog didn't cooperate well with Anthony Mason, it didn't matter, just go in.

With 21 seconds left, the Lakers can only play fast break.

The Bucks will not be able to implement foul tactics against the Lakers, but as long as the audience presses tightly, restricting the Lakers' free throws, advancing, and taking shots to consume time is enough.

If this ball can be stolen, then the Lakers will basically be GG.

Of course, there is still one thing to pay attention to. It must not be too deadly against the three-point defense. It is not impossible for the Lakers to be made a 3+1.

However, this chance is also small. The Lakers must be in a hurry and want to fight for two rounds.

In order to confirm how to play next, Zen Master still called a timeout at this time, and first arranged a tactic that could score quickly.

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers let Kobe serve the frontcourt ball, Kobe served the ball to Horry, and ran directly to the basket.

The big dog couldn't keep up, and He Li noticed that Horry passed the ball, but he couldn't complete the steal in time.

In this situation, the big dog decisively fouled Kobe in advance.

Kobe had just received the ball, and before he could stand still, he went straight to the free throw line.

Two free throws were made, and there were 17 seconds left in the game, but the Bucks still had a 2-point advantage and a possession of the ball.

In addition, George Karl still has a timeout in his hands. At this point in time, there is no need to be stingy.

But there is only one timeout now. George Karl did not dare to timeout directly when there was no need for the frontcourt ball, but chose to trust the players' golf quotient.

The Bucks can try to deliver the ball first, and when they cannot deliver the ball, or when the dribble is unstable and may be intercepted, they can call a timeout and rearrange their offensive tactics.

Anyway, as long as this offense is steady, delaying time, and using timeouts to protect the ball, the Bucks will basically win.

At critical moments, the Bucks players are still trustworthy.

Cassel, as a point guard with a good golf quotient, feels that Tim Thomas has a good height and a good passing vision, so he is suitable to serve at this time.

He Li and Anthony Mason are ready to catch the ball on both sides, and the dog and Cassell themselves are ready to go down the fast break.

If the Bucks can still score two points at this time, they will naturally win the game more steadily.

And the Bucks will have a good layout, and the Lakers can't press them all up to prevent the Bucks from sending the ball.

In the end, the Lakers still defended He Li more, to prevent He Li from crossing the midfield after receiving the ball and making unreasonable three-pointers.

Anyway, Big Dog and Kassel are in front, and He Li shoots a three-pointer. Even if he misses the shot, Big Dog and Kassel still have a chance to grab a rebound.

If He Li hits a three-pointer, it will basically kill the game.

Even if Kobe returned a three-pointer, it basically didn't help.

Because of this, Tim Thomas felt that Anthony Mason had a better chance, so he passed the ball to Anthony Mason.

And Anthony Mason dribbles and sprints directly after receiving the ball. Although Anthony Mason is thick and tough, his skills are actually very delicate and his dribbling skills are not bad.

It can be said that apart from Nowitzki, the power forward who can dribble the most is even stronger than Webber.

Anthony Mason quickly passed O'Neal and rushed towards the frontcourt.

In view of the fact that Anthony Mason has made more than 7% of his free throws in recent seasons and has not missed many free throws at critical moments, Horry did not dare to foul in front of Anthony Mason, but tried to bet on his steals and the Bucks' offense.

But Horry tried his best, but still failed to break the ball in Anthony Mason's hands.

The ball quickly passed to the left corner and fell into the hands of Dagou.

If it was any other time, the Big Dog would shoot a three-pointer directly, but with less than 10 seconds left in the game, and the Bucks were leading again, the Big Dog didn't need to bet on his shooting percentage.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, what if you hit the iron, get a rebound by the Lakers, and get counterattacked by the Lakers, what should you do if you hit a three-pointer?
Since procrastination can win, then procrastinate, not bad for the last few seconds.

The big dog saw Fox pressing up and He Li walked to the top arc, so he immediately handed the ball to He Li.

After He Li received the ball, Kobe bullied him immediately, full of aggression.

However, He Li protected the ball with his back, and with the advantage of his wingspan, Kobe couldn't reach the ball at all.

Seeing that the time was running out, Fisher could only move towards the double-team.

Seeing this, He Li was not only not afraid, but smiled and said: "I will kill you all here!"

With three seconds left in the game, He Li turned on Xu Huang!
He Li knew very well that the next ball, whether it hits or misses, is a lore!

Ever since, He Li took a step forward, then suddenly pulled back, dribbled the ball behind his back, and then faced Kobe and Fisher's double-team to block the shot, and made a super long three-pointer!

beep--

The whistle is blowing!

Before the time ran out, I don't know which referee suddenly blew the whistle.

"3+1!" After the whistle sounded, seeing He Li miraculously hit the ultra-long three-pointer, the on-site commentator couldn't help standing up from his seat.

Obviously He Li doesn't need to force his shot, as long as the time runs out!
But He Li is tough and dares to shoot, just like Jordan, he overcomes difficulties and completes the lore of the century!

……

Sorry for being late. . .

To put it simply, when it was almost 10 o'clock before, there was a problem with the notebook, and the system was automatically updated.

It was updated at about 10:20, and a large section of good content was lost.

I haven't written it until now.

What's even more irritating is that the full attendance is gone, well, I deserve it. . .
