Chapter 95 G4 Final Attack

In the previous life, the Lakers lost two consecutive games at home to the Spurs, and then won four consecutive games to eliminate their opponents.

Now that the Lakers have Sun Zhuo, they have avoided the embarrassment of being 2-0 at the start. If Ginobili hadn't managed to get Sun Zhuo out in the second game, I am afraid that the Spurs will lose two games in a row now, and then return to the Lakers. It is possible to be swept away.

In the East, the series between the Heat and the Pacers has also started. Artest saw that Sun Zhuo scored more than 10 points per game in the playoffs, and the team also won the away game, which made him work harder in the game Get up, not to mention that his opponent is Wade, who has a good relationship with Sun Zhuo. This year, their Pacers are the number one in the Eastern Conference, and they are still qualified to wreak havoc on the Heat.

Therefore, in the first two games, the Heat lost by a large score. If there is no accident, the Heat will be eliminated by the Pacers in this series.

The third game between the Lakers and the Spurs will be held at the Staples Center, the Lakers' home court. Back to the Lakers' home court, the Lakers players are very happy. They stole a victory in the away game. If you win, you can easily get the match point.

In the third game, Sun Zhuo didn't use Sun Zhuo to control the opponent at all. O'Neill and Kobe controlled the game from the beginning, especially O'Neill, after returning to the home court, he became "beastly", and the inside was overwhelmed. The opponent couldn't stop it at all. He can get anything he wants, and the most special thing is that his free throws today are also very good. Four of the first five free throws made the opponent dare not foul easily.

After Kobe returned to the home court, he was also eager to prove himself. It has been a year. Lakers fans have been waiting for revenge against the Spurs for a year. They can't let Sun Zhuo, a rookie, be the leader of revenge, right?So Kobe looks like a killer tonight.

After all, the Lakers are still an OK team. Phil saw that the two cores had reached the best condition, so he resolutely let the two attack. Sun Zhuo and others were lying down again.

The Lakers lead 2:1.

The fourth game of the series is more intense than the third game, because the Spurs do not want to lose this game. Once the Spurs lose the game, the Lakers will get the match point. Once the Lakers get the match point 3:1, they will have a strong dominance With the combined Lakers, the possibility of being reversed is almost zero.

Popovich is well aware of this, so in the fourth game, his expressions, eyes, and decibels are different from the previous games.

Similarly, the Lakers too want to get the match point early and end this series, especially Kobe.

Kobe took crazy shots at Staples tonight. He took more shots than O'Neal and Sun Zhuo combined. Of course, his shooting percentage is also good. He made 55.6% of his two-pointers and three-pointers The rate is also 40%. By the time he reached the fourth quarter, he had already scored [-] points.

However, Kobe's amazing personal performance did not give the Lakers an absolute lead. The Spurs are still clinging to the score. Their team's Turkoglu made 8 of 5 three-pointers today, and three of them were in the bottom corner. , quite a provocation to Sun Zhuo, and Tony Parker also made three three-pointers. These eight three-pointers helped the Spurs not be left behind in the score.

More than half of the fourth quarter has gone on, and it will soon enter the decisive stage, and the score of the two sides has been tied by the Spurs. Kobe, who has been crazy for the whole game, has shot one after another. It seems that his physical strength has been exhausted. O'Neal's physical energy It's also very big. He also scored 28 points in the whole game and made 11 of 8 free throws.

O'Neal and Kobe were both sweating profusely and panting, their eyes revealing confusion. It seemed that the Spurs were really going to fight the Lakers to the last moment.

The commentator at the scene today happened to be Doc Rivers, the Celtics' champion coach. So he ended his first job as a head coach in the NBA, and then came to ABC to be a commentator, but his career as a commentator will not be too long. There have been news in the past two days that he will be The Celtics have been named head coach.

At this point in the game, Doc Rivers had a serious look on his face, and his expression was surprisingly consistent with the players and coaches, as if he was also the coach of one of the teams at the moment. Rivers said: "Today's G4 This is the real strongest matchup in the playoffs. Both the Lakers and the Spurs showed their strongest posture to fight, and it was difficult for them to tell the winner all night. Frankly speaking, I am really worried about the Lakers. They've been relying on Kobe for the entire game, but Kobe is exhausted now, he can't make shots anymore, Shaq can't take over the game at the critical moment of the game, once he threatens the Spurs basket, he will be sent Free throw line and Sun is still a rookie, Manu Ginobili guards him well, I guess he can't make a shot in the crunch time, the Lakers can only hope that someone else will step up, but I don't hold on to that Optimism."

I don’t know if it’s because of the upcoming Celtics, the Lakers’ rival team. When Doc Rivers commented today, his words were still slightly in favor of the Spurs, and when it came to the most critical decisive moment, he was even less optimistic. The Lakers' key ball ability.

What Rivers said is indeed correct. Kobe is currently consuming a lot of physical energy, but even so, the key ball still has to be handed over to him.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally it was the last minute, the last 1 seconds, and the Lakers and Spurs were still tied!
Fortunately, it was the Lakers offense.

"In my previous life, the Lakers and Spurs did not play overtime in this year's playoffs. It seems that my appearance has made the Spurs more tenacious."

Sun Zhuo felt that the Spurs were stronger than the Spurs in 04 in his impression. Maybe it was because the Lakers had Sun Zhuo, which made the Spurs even more insecure. Desperate to support the score.

Popovich really thought so. Now he still needs to let the players defend the last 15 seconds. If there is no accident, the final attack will still be handed over to Kobe. They only need to defend Kobe.

The two sides drew at 103, and the Lakers had the final possession. At this time, the Lakers were more relaxed than the Spurs, because after 15 seconds, they had no possibility of losing, only two possibilities of winning or overtime.

However, it can be seen from Phil Jackson's serious expression that he regards this last attack as a life-or-death goal.

"Kobe's consumption is too much. He can't last the overtime game. Old guys like Shaq, Karl Malone, and Gary Payton can't do it anymore. Even Sun, a rookie, seems to be a bit overspend in physical fitness. Good feeling, once it enters overtime, it will enter the rhythm of the Spurs, this attack must be completed!" Phil Jackson watched seriously from the sidelines, and he gave the last attack to Kobe who felt the most fiery .

Kobe was dribbling the ball, slowly consuming time. He wanted to shoot a three-pointer this time. In fact, he could kill his opponent with a two-pointer. Throwing three points, today he has scored 45 points, for him who feels hot, three points or two points, the difference is not very big.

In the last five seconds, Kobe began to dribble slowly from the top of the arc to the left. Kobe's dribbling rhythm was seen through by Popovich and his opponent. Popovich shouted: "Defend against his three-pointer!"

The two rushed towards Kobe in an instant, Kobe was a little flustered, his opponent saw his intention to shoot a three-pointer!Under such circumstances, Kobe would never dare to make a move alone.

At this time, he found that Sun Zhuo, who was near the left corner, raised his arms and asked him for the ball!

"Sun's corner three-pointer is fine." Kobe passed the ball without hesitation.

Sun Zhuo received the ball at the bottom left corner with only 3 seconds left, but there was a defensive player standing in front of him, a player who always had various ways to deal with Sun Zhuo.

Manu Ginobili!
