I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 208 208. The countdown lore from the finals!

On the offensive end, Kobe and Souter were fiercely stuck, and Fox failed to break through Rasheed Wallace's defense.

Rasheed Wallace didn't play for a long time today, and he has plenty of physical strength. In addition to defending Fox in one-on-one, he can also double-team "Shark" O'Neal frantically.

O'Neal only had a short rest in the second quarter, and he was already a bit unable to run. Fatty's inside destructive power is indeed at a historical level, but his physical strength is also a problem.

Faced with the continuous harassment of Rasheed Wallace and Crawford, O'Neal didn't have a good chance to play back singles and could only be forced to transfer the ball to Fox on the right.

Fox is 2 meters tall and weighs 01 kilograms. He is an insider with outside shooting ability. Facing the hard-won opportunity in front of him, Fox took a step to the middle with the ball and then shot a three-point jumper. He successfully avoided Hua Lai The Warriors blocked the shot, but the ball bounced out of the basket with a "bang".

However, the Lakers' offense was not over yet. O'Neal used his physical advantage to grab the offensive rebound, and immediately took off from the basket for a second one-handed dunk.Crawford's defensive ability is inherently weak, and it is almost impossible to defend against O'Neal's offensive rebounds in this position.

At this stage of the game, he didn't dare to foul rashly, so he could only stand aside and watch O'Neal dunk the ball in with one hand.

At 101:102, the Lakers once again overtook the score. The smile on O'Neal's face when he returned to defense was very cheap, as if he was showing off.

The commentator Charles Barkley sighed: "This defense is really a pity. Coach Woodson might as well let Bradley play. At least he can protect the backcourt rebounds. Crawford's defensive ability is really hard to describe."

Kenny Smith said: "The Eagles can only look at the Vulture now to see if he can make another one."

In the positional battle, the Eagles players still looked for Suter to pass the ball. This time Kobe bypassed the screen significantly faster than last time. He had already completed the close-fitting moment when Suter received the ball, which made the Eagles fans even more disgusted with Mike Wood. Sen's servant and Crawford are gone.

Crawford's screen effect is really poor, and he mainly uses catch and jump shots, unable to create scoring opportunities in the low post. O'Neal has already committed five fouls at this time. You can take the initiative to find Oban.

Facing the tight attack from the Lakers, Suter didn't have a good shot and could only pass the ball to Stephen Jackson who came up to meet him. It was not easy for Jackson to play Devin George with the ball. George almost didn't waste any offensively. Physical strength, all the performance is put on defending Stephen Jackson.

Jackson's shooting touch in the first three quarters was not bad, but starting from the fourth quarter, Jackson's touch began to cool down. Now that the game is at the most critical time, Jackson's heart will inevitably start to feel scared, and he really dare not face Devin George's shot. The defense pulls up and shoots three-pointers.

Steve Nash didn't dare to play either. He was facing the super defensive player "Glove" Payton, and he felt that individual singles was not a good choice.At this point in the game, the players began to become cautious, fearing that their bad shots would lead to the loss of the game, and only wanted to pass the ball to the most reliable teammates on the field.

It wasn't until the 24-second attack time was approaching that Suter received the blame from Steve Nash. He had no time to think about it. He could only take a dribble after receiving the ball and force a missed mid-range shot. Kobe almost blocked the basketball. The defense was very good this time.

The offense of both sides began to become difficult, and the game has officially entered a fierce stage.

The Lakers' offense is also to pass the ball to the most confident player on the field to play. When the "Shark" O'Neal will face the Eagles double-teaming the ball as soon as he catches the ball, Kobe has undoubtedly become the offensive end of the Lakers. The most trustworthy existence.

Kobe was stuck in the middle distance on the left side with Suter fiercely. After finally receiving a pass from Payton, he was immediately double-teamed by Suter and Nash.

Payton was completely emptied at 45 degrees on the left, and Suter withdrew to near the penalty area line on the right. If Payton chooses to make an air cut, Suter can enter the basket at any time to defend.

Rick Fox is also about to be emptied. His offensive threat is not great, and his three-point shooting percentage in this year's playoffs is only 25.6%.

The price for the Lakers to choose a solid defense is that they cannot open up space. Kobe knew that the possibility of passing the ball to Payton for a shot was not high. It would be better to let him pull to the other side to reduce the difficulty of his offense. After turning around in the middle, he made an emergency stop and stepped back for a jumper.

Kobe's shot was more difficult than Suter's shot just now. His body leaned back so much that he could hardly see the basket. His shooting was seriously interfered by Suter. After all, there was a 9 cm difference in height between the two, and the ball bounced out of the frame. , O'Neal also failed to grab an offensive rebound this time.

Rasheed Wallace emptied Fox into the basket and jumped high, protected the rebound in the backcourt, hugged him in his arms, and waited for Nash to come up to respond.

There is only the last half minute of the game, and all the Eagles fans are sweating for the Eagles. If this offense does not score, it will be difficult for the Eagles to win today.

In the Eagles battle, Suter suddenly started an air cut to the basket at 45 degrees on the left side and received a pass from the high post Stephen Jackson. Suter did not completely get rid of Kobe's personal defense, but his strong physical fitness allowed him to fight against A steady breakthrough with the ball in the middle.

His ball-handling attribute is still only B-, which can only be regarded as average in the entire league, but it turns out that a player's physical fitness is the most valuable asset.

Suter doesn't need fancy dribbling skills at all. He only needs to accelerate with all his strength to force his way to the basket against the defender. This is the performance of hard power. People with poor health will never learn this brutal collision Law.

Souter followed Kobe all the way to the basket and jumped high to attract the "big shark" O'Neal's defensive block. After pulling the bar, he did not force a layup, but distributed the ball to the right corner from O'Neal's side .

Wallace got an open shot. This time he was well prepared and lived up to expectations, making this priceless three-pointer.

104:102, Suter sent out his seventh assist.

Phil Jackson felt bad sitting off the court, stood up and immediately asked for a timeout.

When the players left the court, Rasheed Wallace excitedly gave Suter a high-five. This three-pointer is priceless. If the Eagles can win this victory today, he will also be the team's hero.

He is the highest paid player in the team this season, with an annual salary of 1700 million. Many fans say that he has high salary but low ability.

Don't ask for merit, but ask for nothing. Hawks fans only ask for so much from Rasheed Wallace, even if his annual salary is not much less than "Shark" O'Neal.

Charles Barkley said excitedly: "Rashid Wallace made a key three-pointer, and he finally didn't disappoint the Eagles fans. He missed a lot of open shots in the first half. If he doesn't make it this time, the Eagles fans will be ashamed." Damn it."

Kenny Smith said: "Rashid Wallace's overall performance is not bad. He has scored 16 points today, which is the third highest scoring player in the Eagles team."

Charles Barkley said with a smile: "Hawks fans can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. The pressure has come to the Lakers. They must score in the next attack, otherwise it will be bad luck. The Lakers didn't shoot a good three-pointer today. , I think it will be difficult for them to overtake the score, and there is a high probability that they will chase a two-pointer."

Phil Jackson called the timeout to arrange offensive tactics and help the stars create mobile opportunities. When the team obviously needed a three-point shooter, he did not replace the "glove" Payton.

Payton only made an open three-pointer from the outside today. The overall performance is not good, but the "left-handed knife" Karim Rush on the bench is even more depressed. He missed a goal in the sports game and only relied on free throws Scored two points, and it was useless to play.

At the most critical time of the game, Phil Jackson still failed to get rid of his old problem of over-reliance on stars.

Even though Payton's three-point shooting rate is very touching, he is still unwilling to replace the immature "old fish" Fisher and Kareem Rush who may redeem himself.

Mike Woodson did not adjust the lineup, and Chris Crawford continued to play. He felt that Crawford did a good job in opening up the space. , You can fight to win.

The game continued, the Lakers served out of bounds, and the players opened up in an instant.

Fox set an off-ball screen for Kobe and helped him receive a pass from a teammate outside the three-point line in the middle, and then Devin George and "The Glove" Payton opened up space outside the three-point line on both sides.

Fox and O'Neal are on the baseline to attract defense, ready to catch the ball and attack the basket at any time. If the Eagles choose to double-team Kobe, there will definitely be an obvious open space. Even the "glove" Payton, the Eagles dare not rush let him go.

But even so, the Eagles chose to double-team, and Nash let Payton go to help defend Kobe without hesitation.

Payton's shooting feel was bad today. Mike Woodson thought that if he was given an open chance, he might not be able to make a shot from the outside. At the critical moment, the famous "glove" Payton was ignored by the Eagles.

The key balls of the Lakers are basically handled by Kobe and O'Neal. When it is difficult for O'Neal to come out of the basket, Jackson will definitely give the key balls to Kobe, just like he unconditionally trusted Jordan when he coached the Bulls.

Kobe held the ball to observe the situation and did not choose to pass the ball. He took the ball all the way to the left 45 degrees. Under the interference of Souter and Nash, he forced a mid-range shot. The arc of the ball was not high, but the shot was very regular. , Hit the basket twice and got into the net smoothly, 104:104.

Charles Barkley shouted: "Go in! This is Kobe, the killer with a big heart at the critical moment, Kobe has always handled the key ball very well!"

Kenny Smith said: "Kobe was able to jump so high at the last moment, even the vulture couldn't block his shot head-on. There were 9.1 seconds left in the game. Why didn't Mike Woodson call a timeout?"

Charles Barkley said: "He may think that the team does not need a timeout, because that will give the Lakers a chance to deploy defensive tactics. The Hawks' final attack will definitely be handed over to the vulture. Let's see, the vulture started to catch the ball..."

Steve Nash dribbled the ball through halftime, Suter ran out from the baseline with an off-ball screen, received a pass from Nash outside the three-point line on the right, his teammates pulled away instantly, and Kobe made a fatal shot just now The pitching tactics are very similar.

The Lakers focus on the triangle offense this season, while the Eagles focus on the Eagles offense. These two tactics come from the same set of theories, and the core purpose is to create singles space for stars.

So the tactics of the Eagles and the Lakers are really similar at critical moments, whether it is the reliance on stars or the positioning of role players.

Mike Woodson did not call a timeout, and the Lakers would have no chance to deploy defensive tactics. If they double-team Suter on the court, other players may get an easy shot.

At present, all five players on the field have very good shooting ability. Woodson did not choose to replace Chris Crawford at that time because of this moment.

At this time, the two teams were comparing the personal abilities of the stars. Even if a timeout was called, Woodson couldn't think of a good offensive tactic, so he simply left it to the players to solve it themselves.

Suter's mood was unusually calm at the moment, there was nothing to be nervous about, and the only option left was to make a move.

If he chooses to pass the ball at this time, it is okay for his teammates to make a shot, but if he fails to make a shot, he will throw the blame and it will become a black spot in his career.

The coach didn't arrange any lore tactics, and the teammates probably weren't fully prepared. How could they shoot more accurately than Suter, who has a "precise mid-range shot".

Unless his teammates are completely empty under the basket, he will choose to pass the ball, because that is an opportunity to score easily, and not passing is purely a brain pit.

He moved laterally and dribbled the ball to the top of the arc. Kobe stepped forward and spread his arms to defend. Suter took a step back to open the space to face the basket. Kobe followed slowly with small steps, not rushing or impatient, showing a Very strong defensive qualities.

Both of them were probing, Suter wanted to break through, but Kobe didn't dare to lean forward sharply, and kept a certain distance from beginning to end.

Their attention was highly concentrated, and all the spectators watching the game held their breath. Even the home fans didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of affecting Kobe's defense this time.

With 4 seconds left in the game, Suter decisively turned on a precise mid-range shot, and then made a breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Kobe instantly lowered his center of gravity to keep up with the rhythm.

Suter's dribbling rhythm is very smooth. He changes direction in front of his body and hands the ball to his left hand, and then immediately pulls back to switch to his right hand. His breakthrough moves are very skilled. He often singled out Chris Webber in dream training It won't be broken easily.

The center of gravity of Kobe’s feet is still very stable, and he continues to move with Suter, but his pace is not adjusted to the best, because his moving speed is slightly slower than that of Suter, and the playing time of the two is not much different. The advantage in physical strength has been particularly obvious.

With two seconds left on the court, Suter pulled the ball with his right hand, slightly moved his left hand closer, and suddenly made a fake shot similar to "joining the ball".

He knew that it was impossible for the referee to blow him such a small personal mistake at this time, and any action that could get rid of the defense would become his weapon.

The star of the visiting team makes the final attack. If the referee dares to call a penalty and give the ball to the home team, he will definitely be scolded to death by the fans after the game. It is unknown whether he can even work in this industry in the future, because what everyone wants to see is absolute Kill, instead of the referee jumping out to disrupt the game at the last moment.

As long as the foul action is not too obvious, the referee will often not intervene at the last moment. This is not only the unspoken rule of the NBA, but also the common acquiescence of all international leagues.

Of course, except for CBA, because there is only one protagonist in CBA, and the referee cannot let others steal his limelight.

Suter's offensive moves were obviously prepared, and the shot fakes he made were extremely realistic. Kobe immediately shifted his center of gravity to the right after seeing it, ready to interfere with the shot.

As a result, Suter changed direction again and handed the ball to his left hand. He kicked the ground with his right foot and dribbled the ball with his left hand quickly to take a step into neutral.

When the last second of the attack time was left, Kobe realized that he had judged the wrong direction, and hurriedly turned around and took off from the side to block the block with all his strength, but it was too late. "Glove" Payton released Nash from the flank to defend, but still still One step slower.

At the moment when Suter made a mid-range jumper, time seemed to be frozen in place. On the left and right sides of him were two defensive superstars, Kobe and Payton. basketball, and a timer with a red light on as the time resets to zero.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and entered the net! "Shua"!
106:104!Suter completed the buzzer lore in the finals at the Lakers' home court!
