I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 201 Send O'Neal to the Free Throw Line
After the timeout, the Rockets still have 24 seconds to attack. During the timeout just now, Tang Shuai specifically asked Su Yi and Grant Hill to decide who will execute the team's last attack. cast.

Whether he left the final shot to Su Yi and the two of them, whether he chose to kill at the last second or attack early was left to the two of them to decide.

In fact, if you look at the performance in a normal game, Su Yi naturally did his part to make the last shot, but after Jordan left the court, Su Yi would definitely be double-teamed and defended. As a first-year rookie, can Su Yi withstand the pressure? Shuai was a little unconfident, so he specially arranged for Grant Hill to cooperate with Su Yi, and when Su Yi didn't have an excellent opportunity, he would catch Su Yi's pass and shoot.

Tang Shuai still likes Hill very much. This player is self-disciplined and hard-working, and can shoot suddenly. Except for the serious injury, he has not recovered to the peak ability, especially the defense has no ability to compete with Kobe, so Tang Shuai can only let him He sat on the bench most of the time, leaving Artest to defend Kobe.

But now it's just an attack time in the last 24 seconds, and he believes in Hill's offensive ability and experience even more.

The Lakers lead by two points and occupy a favorable position. They can choose foul tactics when the Rockets attack and send the Rockets to the free throw line. If the Rockets miss the free throw, the Lakers are not far from victory. It's just an equalizer, but it's about getting the ball back into his own hands. If he can succeed in the lore at the last minute, the Rockets' efforts will be wasted.

Tang Shuai naturally also knew the defensive method Coach Jackson might choose, so he was not confident about whether Su Yi and others could complete this attack.

He naturally knows the shrewdness of Coach Jackson, an old opponent, and he probably won't give the Rockets a chance to win.

Su Yi slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, and it took almost eight seconds for the violation to pass. Just after crossing the middle circle, Kobe pressed close to him, and he didn't seem to care much about the foul.

Su Yi just avoided Kobe's press with his back, but Fisher double-teamed him again. Without hesitation, he blocked Kobe behind with his arm, flicked the ball to Grant Hill with his right hand, and Hill stepped aside after receiving the ball Fox's defense, step back and make a mid-range shot, the basketball hits the basket!The Rockets tied the game.

Su Yi ran over to give Hill a high-five. He didn't expect Hill to be in such a good state. Just now he wanted to get rid of Kobe and Fisher's double-team to catch the ball, but he actually scored.

"Return to defense quickly, and be careful of their fast break." Although Hill was also very happy, he still reminded him cautiously.

Kobe received a pass from Fisher and was cruising beyond the three-point line. He was looking for an opportunity. With 11 seconds left from the end of the game, he had enough time to complete an attack.

Su Yi and Grant Hill crossed positions and used the opportunity of passing by to switch to Kobe.

At this moment, his defensive attitude is very serious, and he is firmly behind Kobe. He can still think of the scene of Kobe flying and dunking when Jordan fell. He cannot tolerate Kobe continuing to score goals, whether it is for himself or the ball. For the team, or for the injured Jordan, he must defend the ball, only in this way can he hope to win.

Kobe was also planning to fight Su Yi one-on-one. When the attack time ran out to 7 seconds, he suddenly accelerated and started, just like a sports car, it only took a moment to accelerate and sprint from a standstill.

Kobe didn't choose the fadeaway jumper because that kind of shooting method is not efficient. If there is less than [-]% chance to hit it, why not try other methods. A dunk after breaking through the restricted area is a better way to score.

There is still enough time now, he wants to try to break through Su Yi one-on-one, if he fails to break through, he will consider using a fadeaway shot to end the final time, whether he can make it or not depends on how he feels today.

However, he believes that even if there is no shot and the two teams enter overtime, the combination of him and O'Neal will be stronger than the Rockets without Jordan.

Without it, Jordan's Rockets team is a toothless tiger. Although Su Yi occasionally explodes, he is just a rookie in the first grade. He may grow to the point where he threatens him in the future, but he is still far away from him now. big difference.

Su Yi will have a good future, but not now, because there is a super dominant player in the NBA, that is their Lakers, they are invincible, no one can threaten the status of the Lakers.

Su Yi quickly backed up, followed Kobe's breakthrough footsteps, but did not limit his sprint, but Kobe couldn't move forward anymore, he leaned back, raised the basketball with both hands high and shot it towards the basket.

Boom!There was the sound of iron striking, and Kobe missed a shot.

But before all the Rockets players could breathe a sigh of relief, O'Neal beat Randolph to get the rebound, which made the hearts of all the Rockets players jump, and they were about to jump out.

Just when O'Neill was about to jump up and dunk, Su Yi rushed up from behind O'Neill, only to see him put one hand on O'Neill's shoulder and the other heavily on the back of O'Neill's right hand, with a slap, The sound of the flesh-to-body clash was transmitted to the ears of all Lakers fans along the microphone on the basket.

After O'Neal was pressed and beaten, he couldn't jump to the predetermined height, and the basketball hit the edge of the basket heavily and bounced out, but the referee blew his whistle at the right time, and he pointed at Su Yi to make a thug foul.

Su Yi has no objection to this, this foul is too obvious, unless the referee is blind and deaf, he will turn a blind eye to it, judging from the referee's penalties in these games, it is impossible.

Su Yi caressed the palm of his right hand with his left hand, and there was severe pain as if being pierced by thousands of steel needles. He didn't expect that he had used such a great force just now that his hand was completely numb due to the shock.

But he didn't pay attention to the pain in his palm, he looked up at the timer, 1.2 seconds, 1.2 seconds to go.

If he didn't foul just now and allowed O'Neal to dunk successfully, the Rockets might not even have a second, but now they still have 1.2 seconds, at least they still have a chance to come back to life.

O'Neill also felt the pain of tearing the skin on the back of his hand. He stood on the free throw line and couldn't help but look back at Su Yi. The kid's foul just now was ruthless enough. If this slap hit his face, he would probably It can knock out the teeth of ordinary people.

As soon as the first free throw was taken, he knew it was not good, the basketball was crooked, but the first free throw cannot be rebounded, otherwise O'Neal must go to grab the basketball back immediately.

During the second free throw, O'Neal slapped the basketball hard a few times. Now he is under a bit of pressure. If the first ball can be hit, he doesn't mind the high time-consuming second throw, but now the two teams still In a tie, they can only rely on the only free throw to get the lead.

He is not afraid of losing in overtime, but he just doesn't want to waste 5 minutes.

Heaving a heavy breath, O'Neal lifted the basketball lightly, as if throwing a balloon, and threw it lightly. The basketball hit the rim, then bounced to the other side of the rim, two times and three times. , After playing three times, it fell into the net under the cheers of the Lakers fans and players. The Lakers led by one point. This is a very precious point, and it may also be a point that determines the outcome.
