I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 207 207. Vulture!The team depends on you at critical moments!
In the second quarter, Karl Malone teamed up with "Old Fish" Fisher to lead the Lakers' bench to slightly gain the upper hand.

The performance of the Hawks' bench lineup was mediocre, but relying on Derek Anderson's scoring, they still clung to the score and stabilized the situation until the starting lineup came back.

Smush Parker completely lost himself on the stage of the finals. After dribbling the ball, he stood aside and watched. He neither dared to break through with the ball nor dared to shoot three-pointers. He only played less than 3 points. In minutes, he was replaced by Steve Nash. Nash will not rest in the future, and is going to play until the end of halftime.

This is a strategy discussed by the coaching staff before the game, and Nash is also willing to stand up and take on more offensive responsibilities in the finals.

At the current stage of the series, players can give everything for the championship, even if there is a problem with their physical strength, they can only grit their teeth and fight hard.

Suter was also replaced after only a 3-minute break. Unless the team leads or lags too much, it will be difficult for Suter to get a long rest today.

The only starters who can rest for a while are Rebrascia and Stephen Jackson, both of whom have substitutes who can stand up for a while.

As long as the "Shark" O'Neal sits on the court to rest, Rebrascia doesn't have to rush back. His role is to defend against O'Neal's rampage at the basket. Facing the Lakers without O'Neal, the Eagles don't rely on Rebrascia role on the pitch.

When the Eagles' main lineup is the main offense, Derek Anderson does not need to shoot more. He is a bit wasteful as a spot-up shooter on the court, and the defensive effect is not too great. Mike Woodson is bold. Kareem Rush for a while, and it worked surprisingly well.

Every time Josh Davis defends Rush, he is very energetic. He has an advantage in physical fitness. It is not easy for Rush to get rid of the defense. He can only run around with Josh Davis. .

Kareem Rush didn't feel good today, and his opponent Josh Davis was unwilling to pull to the bottom corner to act as a three-point fort. As a result, he made 4 of 0 shots in this quarter and only scored two points with free throws.

Suter continued his excellent personal performance. After he returned to the field, he had no difficulty defending Luke Walton. He just had to follow Walton and did not give Walton any shot space. It has an absolute advantage in speed.

Facing Suter, Luke Wharton, who can make sudden shots, can't get rid of it at all.

As a coach, it doesn’t matter how bad Walton’s coaching ability is. Anyway, he is still young, and there are always teams who believe that he has potential, but as a player, Walton can’t help him. He can only find ways to escape opportunities.

After the Eagles grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break, Suter's defense against Wharton was easy and pleasant. When he broke into the three-second zone, he scored a one-handed dunk like Huashan. His second breakthrough caused Wharton to pull He made two free throws at the free throw line and continued his efficient offensive performance.

Luke Wharton is 2 meters tall and weighs 03 kilograms. He is not much different from Suter in terms of body shape, but he is at a disadvantage in speed and confrontation. Facing Suter's brutal collision, he can do nothing but foul .

Phil Jackson sat off the court and saw that he couldn't do it, so he hurriedly replaced Luke Walton for a rest and replaced him with Kobe, who was physically exhausted.If the Hawks fight back, Kobe's defensive effect on Souter will be better, at least not like it is now, letting Souter enter the basket as if no one is in the land.

Facing Kobe, Suter changed his style of play again, and the Eagles also lowered their offensive rhythm. Suter changed to running without the ball, leading Kobe to run around the court, in order to consume his energy and prepare for the second half ahead of schedule. Prepare the ground for the fight against the opponent, and by the way, play a pick-and-roll with Rasheed Wallace to find opportunities for misplaced shots.

In this quarter, the "big shark" O'Neal and Kobe ensured the offensive firepower of the Lakers, and the Eagles are not easy to defend, especially O'Neal. As long as O'Neal receives the pass in a deep position, Rebrasha I can only pray that this guy doesn't feel good, otherwise there is nothing to do but foul.

At the end of the half, the Eagles led the Lakers by two points 52:50.

In the second half, in order to strengthen the team's offense, "Zen Master" Jackson once again dispatched "Left-Handed Throwing Knife" Karim Rush with a three-point shooting rate as high as 40%.

Souter, Jackson and others seized the opportunity and started to show off. They jointly played a 14:2 attack wave, and Jackson was forced to ask for a timeout.

In these 14 points, Risut scored 9 points himself, mid-range shots, three-pointers, air cuts, and a variety of offensive methods. He also assisted Stephen Jackson to score jump shots twice in a row. Jackson went to the free throw line and scored 2+1. , "Left-handed knife" Karim Rush was educated and wept bitterly.

The Eagles led the Lakers by 14 points in the away game, which surprised all the audience. The Eagles fans who watched the live broadcast were even more excited. They felt that the Eagles would definitely win the championship this season.

Even the two narrators thought so.

Charles Barkley said: "As long as the Hawks get off to a good start in the Finals, their chances of winning the championship will rise sharply. Even if the Lakers win the next game, they will have to go to Atlanta to play three consecutive away games. This is very stressful for the Lakers. It's too big."

Kenny Smith said: "If the Eagles can win two games at home, they have a high probability of beating the Lakers this year. Few teams can come back from a 2:3 deficit, even if the Lakers win two games in the end. The home court will also be at a disadvantage.”

However, just when the Eagles fans thought the overall situation of the game was settled, the Lakers poured cold water on them with their excellent overall performance.

The Lakers can become the biggest favorite to win this season, how can they be defeated so easily?

"Zen Master" Jackson took the initiative to adjust the lineup, let "Old Fish" Fisher and Kobe Bryant partner on the outside, completely stretched the formation on the offensive end, O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone scored consecutively, and the defense was very solid .

The Lakers guarded against Suter and Stephen Jackson, and relaxed their defense on Rasheed Wallace. As a result, Rasheed Wallace missed a shot in the third quarter, and even Nash made a few pass errors. When looking for Suter, the Lakers completed the steal and took advantage of the situation to play a defensive counterattack.

"Old Fish" Fisher single-handedly defended Nash and harassed him non-stop. He fouled twice and sent Nash free throws without adding statistics. Looking at the statistics alone, Fisher seemed to be completely suppressed by Nash, but in fact Nash played on the offensive end. It was also uncomfortable, and he made 4 turnovers in the third quarter alone.

Rebrascia overturned the "big shark" O'Neal during a defense and was called a foul. At this time, he had committed four fouls, which made the Eagles feel an unprecedented sense of crisis. I don't know if Rebrasia can survive to the end .

After three quarters, the Eagles led the Lakers by 81 points 76:5 and entered the final quarter.

In the final quarter, Mike Woodson made a very serious mistake. Instead of replacing Rebrascia who had committed four fouls, he replaced Stephen Jackson, who was in good form and performed well on both offense and defense.

The teenager Boris Diaw became the target of being emptied after he played. The Lakers resolutely guarded against Suter and blocked Nash's breakthrough route near the free throw line. Boris Diaw got several good shots. All the shots went wide of the basket.

After all, Dior is still too young. Not all rookies can have a big heart like Suter, and their performance on the stage of the finals is still strong.

It hurts the morale of the team if a player misses an open shot. The Eagles must have someone to stand up and score next.

Steve Nash had a chance to play singles, and under the defense of "Old Fish" Fisher, he also had two jump shots to hit the iron. Only Rasheed Wallace scored two points in a post-up single for the Eagles at the start. The team only made 8 of 1 shots. middle.

Although Suter was present, he couldn't receive the pass comfortably, and the Eagles' offensive operation was not as smooth as the first three quarters.

The Lakers also rely on stars to attract defense and create mobile opportunities for role players. "Old Fish" Fisher and Devin George scored consecutively and led the team to a 10:2 lead.

"Shark" O'Neal's back-up attack at the basket caused Rebrascia's fifth foul, and the situation suddenly became unfavorable for the Eagles.

Mike Woodson stood off the court and hurriedly called a timeout, but he still didn't replace Rebrascia, who had five fouls, but replaced Diaw, who performed poorly, and brought Stephen Jackson back on the court.

He was the only one in the entire Eagles who did the best job of restricting O'Neal. This time he made the right adjustments, and the Eagles also took the opportunity to stabilize the situation.

Rebrasha has committed five fouls, and the referee can't whistle him down soon. He must pay attention to the referee's whistled scale when defending. As long as he doesn't deliberately use too bad fouls on O'Neal, he can continue to play on the field effect.

Rebrascia's role on the defensive end is irreplaceable, except for him, the Eagles have no other person who can withstand O'Neal's back-up in one-on-one.

After playing for a while, the Hawks began to target Karl Malone’s weakness of slow lateral movement. Phil Jackson saw that the momentum was wrong, so he had to replace Karl Malone off the court and replaced him with Rick Fox, who has a three-point range. .

In the final quarter, Rasheed Wallace performed well, scoring 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block. The scores of the two sides have been leading alternately.

However, in the last 2 minutes, O'Neill made a low-post force and caused a foul by Rebrascia. The fans stood up and cheered, and Rebrascia left the field with six fouls.

The commentator Charles Barkley sighed: "At the critical moment, O'Neal stood up and made contributions. His low-post force made Rebrascia leave the field. Rebrascia's defense was very active, but in terms of results, it was not as good as Let O'Neill deduct one."

Kenny Smith said: "Rebrascia has played for 35 minutes. Although he didn't make any contribution on the offensive end, he also scored 6 points and 7 rebounds. His main role is still reflected in defense. Today's defense against O'Neal has been consistent. They are all good, and there is no way to foul, after all, no one in the entire league can lock O'Neal without fouling."

Charles Barkley said: "Lebrascia made six fouls and left the field. The Eagles have no good insiders to defend O'Neal. O'Neal's performance today is not too strong, and his shooting percentage is less than 45%. But he was still so tough in the crunch time."

O'Neal made two free throws and helped the Lakers successfully overtake the score. 99:100.

Mike Woodson called a timeout again, and then he made a very crazy choice, intending to fight the Lakers at a critical moment.

The Eagles have no one who can limit O'Neal in one-on-one, so no matter who they send to the field, the Eagles must adopt flanking tactics.

Although "Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley is thin, his ability to protect the frame must be better than Chris Crawford, but Mike Woodson did not send Bradley at the last moment. Choosing to use Crawford, who is a more offensive threat, is definitely a crazy lineup rotation.

"Chris, you go up to the 5th position to open up space, wait for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, Rasheed, you stand on the left baseline to attract defense, and you must seize the open opportunity. Stephen, you also pull the outside line Wait for the opportunity, pay attention to double-teaming O'Neal when defending, don't let him easily run into the penalty area under the basket, and if necessary, you can choose to empty Devin George."

Nash and Suter were still on the outside. They barely rested in the second half and stayed on the court to take responsibility.

Mike Woodson held a tactical board in his hand and said with a serious face: "Vulture, shoot when you have the opportunity, shoot boldly, don't be afraid of failure, the team will look at you at critical moments."

苏特最后一节被湖人严防也得到了4分，今天一共砍下了28分15篮板6助攻2抢断和1次封盖。

His performance is better than Kobe and O'Neal, because his offensive efficiency is higher, and he is one of the few players on both teams to shoot more than 50% from the field.

At the last moment, Mike Woodson still chose to believe in Souter. His speed is still very fast, and he can rush up and disrupt the formation. Kobe played for a long time, and his speed is already a bit slow.

So far, Kobe has also scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, but since the fourth quarter, his shooting percentage has begun to decline, obviously due to fatigue.

On the offensive end, Kobe had to fight desperately with Suter to receive the pass, and he had to run back and forth with Suter when defending. It was his unyielding character that could sustain him. Another person might have cramps in his calves.

The game continued. The Lakers had O'Neal and Fox as their inside partner. Except for Fox, the Lakers were still the starters at the beginning of the game, just to ensure defense.

Kareem Rush was completely abandoned. He only played 8 minutes, 5 of 0 shots, 4 of 0 three-pointers, and only scored two points with free throws. The defensive end was also ruthlessly blown by Stephen Jackson.

The Eagles attacked, Suter stood in the right corner, and ran to the left corner under the cover of Rasheed Wallace.

Stephen Jackson received the ball on the right, faced Devin George's ball protection organization, and passed the ball to Suter in time.There were only the two of them on this side. Nash waited for an opportunity in the middle, and the entire offensive formation was pulled apart.

Suter did not pause after receiving the ball, and immediately took the ball and changed direction to the right. He already knew Kobe's defensive style very well. To pass Kobe, he could only rely on speed and explosiveness. Be applicable.

As long as he has the slightest hesitation on the offensive end, it is difficult to get rid of Kobe's entanglement. Kobe's lateral movement speed is also not slow, and his mental attributes at critical moments are even more crazy. This guy has too much potential in his body to explode.

This is indeed the case. Kobe judged Souter's offensive line correctly, but he was a little slower when chasing and defending from behind, so he could only choose to follow up from the side.Suter didn't make any fake moves, forced a breakthrough in the middle, and took three steps close to Kobe.

When his teammates pulled away, Suter began to enjoy the fun of this 1V1.

Kobe was a little slower and couldn't stop Suter from accelerating and couldn't get stuck.Suter went into the penalty area and took off with all his strength, and Kobe also jumped up from the weak side.

Suter raised the ball with his left hand and took it back, his body folded slightly in the air. While colliding with Kobe hard, Suter changed the ball from his left hand to his right hand, pulled the bar sharply and chose a backhand layup.

O'Neal has returned to the basket to defend, but neither of them can cover Suter.

Suter's pulling action was very elegant. After hitting the board, the ball bounced twice on the basket, and finally fell lightly into the net! 101:100.

Suter turned his head and roared at the audience, proving that he has the ability to control the game at critical moments. He has watched Michael Jordan play since he was a child, and what Jordan can do, he can also do in the finals.

Charles Barkley shouted: "Beautiful! This ball is really difficult. The Vulture scored the ball with a backhand pull between Kobe and O'Neal. This is already his 30th point of the game!"

Partner Kenny Smith sighed: "Two of the Eagles scored 30+, but they still only lead the Lakers by one point. This game is too intense."

Charles Barkley said: "Let's see if the Eagles can defend in the next round. Lebrascia made six fouls at the critical moment and left the field. At this time, how the Eagles should defend the penalty area is a problem."
