I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 260 Victory

Halfway through the fourth quarter, coach D'Antoni replaced Su Yi, Stoudemire and James Posey to rest. Stoudemire had committed five fouls, and Posey was exhausted and needed a rest.

Relying on Su Yi's hard work for three and a half quarters, the Nuggets finally raised the score to 102 to 91. From coming from behind in the third quarter, they now overtook the lead by 11 points, took 32 shots, hit 17 balls and scored 40 points. After exhausting all of Su Yi's physical strength, if he hadn't been born with abundant physical strength, he might have been exhausted and paralyzed long ago, but even so, he still felt sore all over.

Although they have overtaken by 11 points, the game is not over. Coach D'Antoni did not dare to relax his vigilance. The Lakers just couldn't defend Su Yi's shot. Now Su Yi has rested, and the point guard on the field is "Bug" Tim Hardaway.

Time is a ruthless knife. The 37-year-old Xiaochong is no longer nimble and quick. He is no longer young, and his foot movement speed can no longer compete with the young point guards in the league. But he still has rich experience and is unyielding. willpower and hunger for victory.

Tim Hardaway dribbled forward steadily, he didn't attack rashly, coach D'Antoni had already told him before he came on the court that Su Yi must be given enough rest time.

Fisher tried to steal, but Xiao Chong used to have a Hall of Fame ball control. In his era, Xiao Chong was the best condyle finisher.

Fisher's steal was unsurprisingly missed. Xiao Chong immediately changed hands with the basketball in his right hand and made a breakthrough. The containment force attracted the Lakers to attack from inside and outside the line, and Marion gave the ball to Anfernee Hardaway outside the penalty area.

Hardaway replaced James Posey. Since arriving at the Nuggets, Anfernee Hardaway hasn't had many chances to play.

Compared to him, a former star player who has just recovered from his injury, coach D'Antoni is more willing to let Prince, a first-round rookie, go to the court to exercise, even if Prince has enough playing time as a swingman , and Matt Barnes, a second-round rookie eagerly waiting for a chance to play.

But this is not to say that Anfernee Hardaway's strength is not as good as Prince's. On the contrary, his offensive ability is not bad. He uses a slightly receding mid-range shot from outside the penalty area to hit the basket.

O'Neal didn't expect that the Nuggets could continue to score after Su Yi left the field. After Fisher took control of the ball for half the court, O'Neal quickly ran to the Nuggets' basket to get stuck, and put Marcus, who was defending behind him, into position. Camby squeezed outside the bottom line. It has to be said that no player in the league can withstand O'Neal's exhaustion.

Camby was knocked back a step, O'Neal received a pass from Fisher and then turned around and jumped for a dunk. Camby staggered back and hit the pad of the basket directly.

Shark O'Neill didn't come up with the nickname casually, he called out to Camby when there was a disagreement, and Camby looked at O'Neill bitterly while covering his sore nose.

But it's useless to be angry, who made him weaker than others, otherwise it would not be Camby, but O'Neill who was knocked all over the place.

After O'Neal came on the court, the effect was immediate, and it only took a while to close the score. Even if Camby wanted to foul, he took him and dunked him to the basket.

It's not really dunking Camby into the basket, but O'Neal's heavy dunk with Camby's arm hanging on his shoulders is really a prehistoric beast.

Although Coach D'Antoni really wanted to put Su Yi on the court right now, but seeing Su Yi with a wet towel on his head and sweat dripping down on the floor, he still held back and didn't make a sound.

Hold on, hold on for a few more minutes, even if you hold on for a minute, let Su Yi rest for a while.

The Nuggets' defense is too poor, not to mention that they encountered the Lakers, which are extremely outstanding on both offense and defense, and it is not easy to last for 2 minutes.

Su Yi raised his head and looked at the field. At this time, the situation was changing. After O'Neal, a beast, was on the field, the Nuggets players who were beating the Nuggets were losing ground.

Su Yi reached out and tore off the wet towel from his head, took a gulp of Gatorade from the assistant coach, and then said to Coach D'Antoni, "Coach, I want to play!"

"Su, you should rest for a minute. You can hold on for a while longer on the court. We still lead by two points." Coach D'Antoni hesitated. He knew that Su Yi's physical fitness had not recovered, but he hoped that Su Yi could turn around. Passive situation on the field.

"I can't rest anymore. If the Lakers overtake me, my momentum will be much weaker. It will be very difficult to overtake again. Believe me, I can win this victory." Su Yi looked at it firmly. Coach D'Antoni, to win the Lakers, this is his promise to Kobe, no matter how tired he is, he must do it.

On the field, O'Neal tried to do the same thing again and prepared to turn over and dunk. Big Zhi and Camby hugged their waists and flew to block the basketball in O'Neal's hands, but this was not considered as Camby's block, because Big Zhi The hug and wrestling action was fouled.

O'Neal got two free throw opportunities. At this time, Su Yi went into battle. After playing, he went to O'Neal's side to say hello to Dazhi.

When O'Neill saw that Su Yi was on the stage again, he felt like a bloody horse galloping wildly in his heart.

Distraught, he lost sight of the free throw. After O'Neal missed the first free throw, the second free throw hit the back edge of the basket and bounced back. Just as O'Neal was about to rush for the rebound, he saw Wang Dazhi just move to the center of the paint and got stuck in the middle of the paint. In front of him, O'Neal didn't stop, and Da Zhi flew to the floor as soon as he hit him.

The referee blew his whistle, and this time it was O'Neal who fouled for a rebound.

In fact, it was O'Neill who was anxious. He was eager to equalize the score and wanted to revive morale.

In fact, this is Su Yi's attention to Da Zhi. As an international player, Da Zhi is not incapable of defending like Scola.

In the last few minutes, Su Yi used his restraining force to pass the ball to Marion and Da Zhi, and the two did not disappoint Su Yi's expectations, hitting several mid-range and long-range shots in a row.

With Tracy McGrady missing a three-point shot from midfield at the last second, the final score of the two teams was 121 to 122. The Nuggets narrowly beat the Lakers by one point in the away game.

Although O'Neal is still invincible inside, the Nuggets still maintained a weak lead until the end of the last time.

After Su Yi returned to play, he improved the team's offensive efficiency again. Although O'Neal and McGrady also sifted the Nuggets inside, the Nuggets still had the last laugh with their excellent touch. For example, the Lakers can only regret losing at home.

Su Yi also heaved a sigh of relief, he had finally fulfilled his promise to Kobe, and he couldn't just promise it next time, if it wasn't for the fact that his teammates felt so good today, he wouldn't be able to win this game due to exhaustion.

Su Yi played 45 minutes and scored 45 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. At the last moment, it was Su Yi's mid-range hit that prevented the Nuggets from being reversed.

McGrady performed well, played 41 minutes, and scored 68 points with O'Neal, but it became useless under the premise of failure.

Coach Phil Jackson suddenly felt very hopeless in his heart. Could it be that he was going to return empty-handed this season? He shook his head, trying to get rid of this idea. This is really a bad idea.
