I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 214 214. Heavenly King Mountain!The Lakers generals with a broken heart!
"Welcome everyone to watch Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Eagles and Lakers drew 2:7 before. Today's contest is particularly critical for the two teams. In a 4-game 5-win game, who can win? Winning the fifth game has a great chance of winning the championship, so the two sides will definitely go all out tonight and use their full strength to deal with this game."

The commentator Mark Anderson took the lead in introducing the situation of the two teams after the live broadcast began.

Partner Tom Horvath said: "The Hawks are playing at home today. As long as they defend the home court, the Vultures can be regarded as touching the championship trophy with one hand. From now on, he will be the second player to win the championship in his rookie season and have a chance to win the Finals MVP."

Mark Anderson added: "Judging from the whistle on the field, the league doesn't want them to beat the Lakers easily. Currently, there are more fans supporting Kobe. I don't know if the Eagles can withstand the pressure today and defend their last home court."

Partner Tom Horvath said with a smile: "The regular season records of the two teams are not much different. No matter who wins, the team that loses will definitely be a pity. However, the charm of competitive sports is like this. The final victory There is only one winner, and someone is destined to become the background board in the finals."

The ratings of this year's finals hit a record high in NBA history, and the number of countries buying broadcast rights is also the largest in history.

The Lakers, with the Big Four, are the most eye-catching team in the active league, and Suter, who strongly challenged the "OK combination" in his rookie season, has become the darling of the media.

These gimmicks have brought unprecedented attention to the finals. Many NBA stars have been ruled by the "OK combination". Suter is obviously a better challenger and is likely to succeed in the challenge.

Kobe is the man with the most "God" playing style since the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan retired. As long as he is there, the finals will definitely have super high ratings.

Compared with "Shark" O'Neal, Kobe is younger, which is why the Lakers gave up O'Neal and chose to keep Kobe Bryant in the parallel world.

When the players came out to warm up, Rasheed Wallace and Suter passed the ball to each other and played an alley-oop dunk. You dunked one and I dunked the other. They looked very relaxed and did not frown because of the Tianwangshan battle , showing a nervous look.

This is a suggestion made by Suter before the game. He hopes to use this method to improve his morale and put psychological pressure on his opponents.

When the Lakers see the mentality of the Eagles players so relaxed, they will definitely become nervous in their hearts. It is not that the Lakers have no confidence in themselves, but that the more casual the opponent behaves in front of you, the more you will attach importance to this opponent. I always feel that the opponent still has a hole card that has not been used.

On the other hand, if the Eagles frown before the game and have no confidence in themselves, it will only fuel the arrogance of the Lakers for no reason. Suter does not want to see this happen. Today's Tianwangshan battle should be tense It was originally the Lakers, because this is the Phillips Arena, and this is the home court of the Eagles.

As for why the dunks kept showing off during the warm-up, because we are younger and we have nowhere to use our strength. We only need to rest for a day to recover our strength. I ask you Lakers, are you afraid of old men?
Rasheed Wallace, who performed poorly in the last game, liked Suter's proposal very much. Before today's game, he secretly vowed that he must play tougher, create trouble for the Lakers inside, and strive to pass his own contribution. Help the team win this high-profile battle of the King of Heaven.

The Big Four of the Lakers could also play like this during warm-ups when they were young, but now they dare not do so because they have to allocate their physical strength reasonably. Even the young and energetic Kobe only made two appropriate three-pointers from the outside.

In this year's finals, he is definitely the person who consumes the fastest physical energy on both ends of the offense and defense. No matter how strong Kobe's mental attributes are, he cannot hypnotize himself so that his body does not feel tired.

As the series continued, Kobe felt that his physical strength was gradually draining away, and when he saw Suter on the other side of the field like a normal person performing windmill dunks, Kobe hated it to the root of his teeth. It starts to itch.

They are also the ones who contribute the most on both offensive and defensive ends of the two teams. As a result, Suter's physical strength is as inexhaustible as bottomless, and he really feels his legs are weak even after running two extra steps. Not human!
In terms of team morale, the Lakers were overwhelmed by the Eagles from the very beginning. All the Lakers players were clearly aware of a problem. The guy on the opposite side was simply Superman. The offensive end is getting harder to defend.

I can't believe this guy is just a rookie. If he played a few more years in the league, wouldn't he already dominate the NBA?
When the Lakers warmed up before the game, they mainly practiced jump shots, knowing that the Eagles would definitely continue to shrink their defense and put "Gloves" Payton, an unreliable guy, to shoot from the outside.

Payton was still in a sluggish state during the warm-up, hitting irons from beyond the three-point line, and he was short of opening a blacksmith shop in Atlanta.

Kobe's face became a little ugly. If Payton is still as strong as he was in the previous two games today, how could they beat the Eagles?

Kobe, who has always had a strong personality, is angry in his heart, but he can only suppress it and cannot release it. No matter how strong his personal ability is, he cannot win without good teammates.

If his teammates are playing badly, he can't start talking about it, which will appear to be not united enough, and may cause internal strife in the team, which will lead to the collapse of the series.

The Lakers this season have never been twisted together. Everyone has their own ghosts, and each other's hearts are full of dissatisfaction and gunpowder.
The relationship between Kobe and O'Neal has dropped to a freezing point, and there are also some conflicts between Kobe and Karl Malone. At this time, no matter how upset everyone is, they can't vent it. Otherwise, not only will the Eagles take advantage of it, but also let the outside world I just saw the joke.

Players from both sides walked into the court, and the Hawks' starting five were still unshakable, Steve Nash, Suter, Stephen Jackson, Rasheed Wallace and center Rebraxia.

The Lakers started with five players, "Glove" Payton, Kobe Bryant, Devin George, Karl Malone, and "Shark" O'Neal.

Phil Jackson replaced Karl Malone back into the starting lineup. It would be embarrassing for Malone to play as a substitute. His ability to lead the team to score is not strong. The shooting ability can help the "OK combination" to open up space, but Jackson wants to build a lineup of extreme defense and win the battle of Tianwangshan through defense.

Rebrascia won the jump ball and the game started.

The Eagles can't play fast breaks, the Lakers are already familiar with their offensive routines, the players retreat quickly, Kobe can always keep up with Souter in the first time, and today the running competition between the two started again.

They are already considered opponents who know the basics. Suter is not even willing to talk too much nonsense with Kobe. On the offensive end, he never plays any skills with Kobe. He just runs and uses his physical fitness to forcefully drag this guy to death. Opportunity, run a wave first, let Kobe experience the fear of being dominated by young guys.

Suter slid to the bottom line first, then ran up the line. After catching the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, he failed to make a mid-range shot. He faked a shot and dribbled the ball to the center to attract Karl Malone's help defense. Rasheed Wallace on the right.

Wallace did not make any dribbling action after receiving the ball, and directly hit the mid-range shot on the right side to score, 2:0.

Catch and shoot has been Rasheed Wallace's main offensive method this season. As long as the Lakers double-team Souter, Wallace can get a good shot.

In the case that Suter will be flanked by the Lakers as soon as he breaks through the inside, Rasheed Wallace can easily get a shot. As long as he can guarantee his shooting percentage, it will be difficult for opponents to defend him.

Moreover, Wallace attracts the defense at a high position and can pass the ball to his teammates. The position of the inside teammates is fixed. Whether it is Rebrasha or Stephen Jackson, both of them mainly move on the left side.

Frankly speaking, facing the current defensive style of the Lakers, Wallace is definitely the easiest player on the field to score. However, Wallace often wastes opportunities, feels like a ghost, and has never been able to play a stable personal performance. .

If this is not the case, the Eagles may have pushed the Lakers to the edge of the cliff now, instead of a 2:2 tie with a big score, they will have to decide a match point in the battle of Tianwangshan.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe singled out Souter face-to-face. When he broke through, he was double-teamed by the Eagles. Kobe scored the ball to the "big shark" O'Neal. Then the ball was separated from the periphery.

It's not that he doesn't want to play singles, but O'Neill saw that Jackson had already defended himself, and knew that it would not be so easy for him to get a chance to play singles. Rather than being forced to the sideline by the two, it would be better to pass the ball before Jackson came up. , Now this position is not within his hook range, and it is still a little far away from the basket.

Repeated transmission several times, seeing that the 24-second attack time is coming, Kobe can only force a single on Suter on the left side, turn around and fall back and miss the basket under interference, and the rebound is caught by Rasheed Wallace take off.

O'Neal and Malone are very active in grabbing the offensive rebounds, but the Eagles have at least three people shrinking the basket to protect the backcourt rebounds. With a long wingspan to fight for rebounds, Suter will also shrink to the basket to protect the rebounds when he has time, so as to avoid too many second attacks by "Shark" O'Neal.

In this year's finals, the second attack has become O'Neal's main offensive method. Since they want to make some articles on this point of O'Neal, the Eagles coaching staff will naturally not let the "big shark" down.

The Eagles’ positional battle was played again with the same tactic just now. This time Karl Malone’s position was stuck very well when he assisted in the defense, making it difficult for Suter to pass the ball from the flank. Suter was not in a hurry about this, and distributed the ball to Overwhelmed the Stephen Jackson organization on the left, and then continued to run with Kobe himself.

Jackson stood on the left side and gave the ball to Nash. The latter also ran off the screen and walked on the side of "Shark" O'Neal. The shooting opportunity came out. Nash missed the mid-range shot under the slight interference of Payton .

O'Neal grabbed the rebound from the backcourt, and the Lakers fell into battle again.

The Lakers are not efficient if they don't counterattack quickly. When the offensive rhythm slows down, Nash will face the "glove" Payton. Shoot casually, as long as Payton doesn't cut to the basket, even Nash, the famous "defensive black hole", has become a defensive expert in this year's finals.

It's a bit ironic to say it, but Nash's defensive efficiency is indeed all thanks to "The Glove" Payton's missed shots. Payton is so iron that even Nash can be regarded as a defensive elite.

Even if Nash is passed by Payton, it's no big deal. Payton can't grab a three-pointer after he gets rid of it. , Once the steal is regarded as the goal, Suter's talent will be brought into play.

His reaction speed is very fast, he predicted the direction of Payton's dribbling in the first time, and then quickly reached out and cut the ball.

Payton was still dribbling with his back and turned around, trying to move the ball laterally to gain space. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Suter had already stretched out his hand in front of his eyes and stabbed the basketball away firmly. This made Peyton's face show a touch of consternation, accompanied by a trace of anger.

Seeing the ball hit the ground, Payton hurriedly lowered his center of gravity to pick up the basketball, but Suter's reaction speed was faster than him, and he took the ball first and started a fast break.

The last sliver of rationality prevented Payton from choosing to pull a foul. There was no one in front of him. At this time, the pull would be whistled for a violation, which is the so-called two free throws and one throw. This cost is greater than allowing Suter to score fast breaks.

Suter made a fast break, faced the unguarded basket in front of him, took off one step ahead of the free throw line, spun 180 degrees in the air and smashed in! 4:0.

This goal directly detonated the audience, the fans stood up and cheered loudly, and the morale of the Eagles also rose along with it.

The game has just started, and the Eagles have already played their own momentum.

The Lakers played pick-and-rolls and were easily defended by the Eagles. The only players on the Lakers who were suitable for pick-and-rolls were Kobe and Malone. Malone emptied on the periphery.

If Malone is willing to shoot, he can shoot casually. The Eagles don’t care. It would be even better if he can shoot more than 20 times in a game. The 40-year-old Karl Malone has already passed the age of leading the team to win. His mid-range shot can help the team Stabilize the situation, but they can't vote for the Eagles at all.

Rasheed Wallace blocked Kobe, and Suter immediately chased him from behind, forming a double-team. If Kobe didn't want to pass the ball, he could only choose to play hard. Facing two strong defenders, his shooting percentage can be high That's weird.

Kobe didn't want to pass the ball to Malone after attracting double-teams. Knowing that Malone's speed of catching and shooting after covering the screen was too slow, how slow is it?When Malone made a standard shot, Wallace probably had appeared in front of his eyes.

The 40-year-old Karl Malone is still strong, but his speed has already become slow, but if he is four or five years younger, Malone will not be wronged by the Lakers.

With another 24 seconds approaching, "The Glove" Payton had no choice but to hit Steve Nash. Under the interference, he missed a mid-range jumper and Suter grabbed a backcourt rebound.

Rebrascia and O'Neal were fiercely stuck at the basket, but Suter suddenly burst out from the flank like a spring man. O'Neal, who made the second offense, was very annoyed.

If one-on-one rebounds, no one in the Hawks can do better than "Shark" O'Neal under the basket, but they can't stand the Tigers and are afraid of wolves. The Hawks simply use the word "team" when it comes to protecting the rebounds in the backcourt. Played to the extreme, a group of people stuck O'Neal tightly, making it difficult for him to even move, let alone jump to grab the ball.

At this time, Souter and Wallace will use the bounce and wingspan to easily pick off the rebound, which makes O'Neal look envious and at the same time feel more and more uncomfortable with the Lakers.

He believes that the reason why the team failed to win the championship in the past two years is entirely because Kobe Bryant is against him everywhere, but if the Lakers can be as united as the Eagles, O'Neal will not be unable to catch the ball as he is now. Grabbing offensive rebounds to create opportunities is completely without the treatment that No. 1 in the league should have.

　I have a fever, guys, 38.5, it's really hard to code this chapter, it's really uncomfortable, the bones and seams of my whole body hurt from the fever, and I can't even climb up.

　　The key antipyretics are still unavailable.

　　For a while, I plan to take Gankang, the only cold medicine at home, and then go to sleep, hoping to wake up tomorrow and feel better, alas.
