against the front

Chapter 266
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

When this extremely anxious game entered the fourth quarter, the audience at the Arco Arena became more and more crazy. Applause, cheers, and shouts resounded in every corner of the Arco Arena , Especially when it is the Lakers' turn to attack, there will be a uniform defensive sound in the Arco Arena in an instant.

The rotation players who came off the bench, also inspired by the audience, played an almost crazy performance. The bench lineup led by Tony Allen and Spencer Hawes has defended for three consecutive rounds. With the Lakers' offense now, relying on the strong performance on the defensive end, the King's bench lineup also completely suppressed the Lakers' bench led by Ron Artest during the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The better the performance of the players on the field, the crazier the cheers and shouts of the audience, and the higher the atmosphere on the field, the higher the fighting spirit of the players on the field. This is a virtuous circle.

Especially in this situation where the king only needs to win this game to see the dawn of the finals. The whole team of the king, from the main force to the substitute, is working hard and wants to help the team win. win and prove yourself.

The championship ring is something that all NBA players dream of. Besides the championship ring, there is also a very realistic thing called a big contract. Basically, everyone who has experienced the baptism of the finals or made a Players who have made certain contributions, whether they are main players or rotation players, don’t have to worry about their future work anymore, and as long as they can help the team reach the playoffs or win the championship ring, even if it is a substitute, then All will increase in value.

What is the purpose of the Kings getting Tony Allen from the Celtics and preparing to give Tony Allen a long-term contract after the end of this season?Isn't it because Tony Allen has experience in the finals and is a championship player?Even in that Finals, Tony Allen’s average playing time was less than 10 minutes per game, but the reality is that, at any time, championship players have a solid job, and some teams are willing to give them a job. lucrative contract.

After the end of this season, the Kings have many players whose contracts have expired. Who doesn't want to win the championship, sign a big contract by the way, and reach the pinnacle of life?
Relying on the outstanding performance of the rotation players on the court, before the official timeout, Phil Jackson was forced to call a timeout ahead of time, put on the main lineup, and was ready to fight the Kings to the death.

When the Lakers put on the stance of a decisive battle and were about to make a final fight, the Kings on the other side were not bad. After the timeout was about to end, the main lineups of both sides began to appear one after another. After Yan Hua stepped onto the court, he subconsciously looked at Kobe who was also walking towards the court.

The four eyes met, when Yan Hua looked at Kobe, Kobe was also looking at Yan Hua, cold and majestic, if it was an ordinary player, he might not dare to look at Kobe like this, but in the system space, After seeing Olajuwon who was more majestic and powerful than Kobe, Yan Hua didn't think Kobe's eyes were so scary.

Seeing Yan Hua, who was staring at Kobe, and Bynum who had already stepped onto the court, his face was also very ugly at the moment. In the game, Bynum's performance was not very good.

Before Yan Hua entered the league, Bynum was famous for his superb physical fitness and excellent low-post skills. It is not worth mentioning. As for the explosive physical fitness, after repeated serious injuries, it has also declined very quickly, and now Yan Hua is also known for his strong physical fitness. Therefore, in front of Yan Hua, whether Bynum Both his technique and his body were eaten up by Yan Hua, and there was no room for him to turn around.

Although from the second game of the series, the Lakers launched a frenzied flank attack on Yan Hua, which directly caused Yan Hua's offensive deterrence to be greatly reduced, and the number of shots and scoring also dropped precipitously, but such a Yan Hua, who is already so poor that he can't get any worse, still has an absolute advantage in various statistics, are you angry?
Angry! Anyone would be angry, let alone Bynum, who is high-spirited and waiting to become the No. [-] center in the Western Conference.

When the game restarted, in order to completely reverse the situation on the court, or directly kill the king with a stick, the Lakers players on the court directly put on a decisive battle posture. It also obviously started to speed up.

Because when the two teams left the bench, the score on the field was 86 to 81, and the Lakers were 5 points behind. Although there were nearly 8 minutes before the end of the game, the difference of 5 points was nothing, but If you continue to maintain the suffocating rhythm and state of the game in the previous few quarters, the Lakers don't have much hope if they want to get back the score and beat the Kings.

So after the game restarted, the Lakers began to speed up the offensive end, and began to allow Kobe to participate in the Lakers' offense a lot, and even pushed with the ball. It can only slightly limit Kobe's shooting percentage, but there is no way to completely limit Kobe, let alone defend the black hole Kevin Martin and the frizzy Zhu Holiday.

Kobe, who has entered the runaway mode, is simply taking whatever he asks for when facing Jrue Holiday and Kevin Martin. Not to mention one-on-one defense, it is Jrue Holiday and Kevin Martin. -Martin went up together, and there was nothing they could do about Kobe.

But no matter how violent Kobe is on the court, Reggie Toyes standing on the sidelines has no plans to replace Tony Allen again, although Tony Allen is used to replace Jrue Holiday or Kevin Martin. , can instantly strengthen the King's perimeter defense and increase the restrictions on Kobe, but replacing Tony Allen means that the King has to make sacrifices on the offensive end.

Therefore, although the situation on the field is already a bit precarious, Reggie Toyes is still very firm in maintaining the current lineup. After all, the King is still in the leading position for the time being. It is not so easy for the Lakers to steal chickens of.
