I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 237 236. The Lakers Win G1
Chen Long relied entirely on his own scoring to keep the game from being anxious, but the Lakers were more successful, which was completely different from people's predictions before the game.

Even Barkley, who predicted that the Bulls would easily beat the Lakers, was dumbfounded, because the rhythm of the game has always been in the hands of the Lakers.

Rose only attacked a ball after he came on the court, because it hit Fisher, the ball could be called an offensive or defensive foul, and the referee did not hesitate to call Rose's offensive foul.

The Cubs were dumbfounded, because since he entered the NBA, the first time he left the game with six fouls was in the finals.

The referee also became the enemy of the United Center. Chicago fans booed the referee, and everyone could see that he was targeting the Bulls players.

Rose sat back on the bench angrily. The sixth foul was not an expulsion. If he left the game directly, he would get a technical foul.

The referee's performance is not over yet.

Two minutes later, Joakim Noah hit Kobe on the shoulder while blocking a layup. It stands to reason that this action is at most an ordinary foul.

Noah didn't follow up with small moves, and Kobe scored the goal against the defense.

Kobe made a 2+1 gesture.

After discussing with the line referee, the referee blew the whistle, but it was not a foul, but gave Noah a T again to send Noah out early.

Kobe was also stunned for a moment. If the foul just now was a T, few people would have survived the entire game. Although the goal just now is not counted, it is more beneficial for the Lakers to have one free throw and Noah's early exit.

Pooh argued with the referee angrily, but the referee only made a gesture to stop making trouble. He had already expelled Noah, and expelling another coach would not have much impact.

Just like the original Fire Bull Finals, it is no secret that there are referees in the finals.

Chen Long looked at the referee coldly. He knew very well that he had to perform better if he wanted to beat the referee.

When O'Neal came on the court, the Sharks looked very serious. He had had enough rest, and now it was time for him to guard the Bulls' basket.

Kobe hits the free throw.

The Lakers sent a sideline ball, Gasol passed it to Kobe, Kobe threw off Ray Allen's defense and rushed to Chen Long, he changed direction and swayed, then turned around and shot a jumper.

Chen Long's defense was already in place, but he still didn't block the ball. He immediately withdrew his hand, because if he touched Kobe's hand, it would be 2+1 again unintentionally.

The referee had already put the whistle in his mouth. Seeing that Chen Long withdrew his hand in time, he was a little disappointed in his performance.

Bryant hits a jumper, then turns and punches in celebration.

The Bulls didn't have time to ask the referee to argue. O'Neal quickly served the ball, and Chen Long was defended by Artest before halftime.

Chen Long dribbled the ball away from Artest with difficulty, opened his hand one step outside the three-point line and shot, the basketball drew an arc and flew into the basket.

But Chen Long didn't have time to celebrate. The Lakers quickly sent the ball to the sideline. After taking the ball, Artest dribbled twice to the three-point line and pretended to make a shot.

Kobe had already crossed the half court, and after receiving a pass from Artest, Kobe made a layup against Ray Allen's defensive lever. O'Neal's defense was like air to Kobe, and the basketball also flew into the basket.

At this time, the game was coming to an end, and the Lakers led by 6 points.

Chen Long took a quick logo shot after receiving the ball, and the ball still fell into the basket steadily.

Artest showed surprise on his face, because for a player in 09, such a crazy three-point shot was still too weird.

Chen Long's three-pointer was terrifying, but the Bulls were still behind.

The referee's temples were already beaded with sweat, and he had sent off the two main players of the Bulls. If the Bulls still won, then tonight's call can only be described in one word, that is failure.

The Lakers suppressed the rhythm, and Kobe took the ball and went beyond the three-point line. As long as this goal is scored, the Lakers will be invincible.

Chen Long and Ray Allen switched defenses and came in front of Kobe.

As the top two on this year's MVP selection list, Kobe and Chen Long began to compete for this year's championship and FMVP again.

Kobe wanted to win too much, especially with O'Neal on the Bulls.

Facing Chen Long, Kobe had no plans to be a legend. He dribbled the ball to find the rhythm, while watching the time, while paying attention to protecting the ball. The 24 seconds were about to come. Kobe made a simple lateral change, and then opened his hand to shoot a three-pointer It crashed!

The United Center was silent.

No matter what the referees did, Kobe hit the big shot.

Kobe did not start celebrating, but opened his arms to double-team Chen Long ahead of schedule.

Now the Bulls only need to guard Chen Long. Ray Allen took the ball and took it halfway, and then shook Artest's defense to force a three-pointer. Bounced off the rim.

Dajia grabbed this key rebound.

Chen Long hugged Kobe and fouled him. Even if he had no chance, he would not give up the game.

Bryant got to the free throw line and made two free throws.

At this time, the Lakers led by 8 points, and the Bulls had only 3 seconds left.

Vinidnagro did not call a timeout because in his opinion the game was over.

After Chen Long took the ball, he shot directly in the half court, and the basketball flew across the court and into the basket.

This ultra-long three-pointer failed to change the result.

The Chicago Bulls were defeated by the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1.

Kobe and Chen Long had no communication.

Bryant came to the sidelines waiting for an interview, his expression very dignified.

A victory does not mean that the Lakers will definitely win this round of the series, because even Kobe himself knows that referees play a big role in the game.

Chen Long took off his jersey and walked back to the player tunnel. All the Bulls followed Chen Long back to the locker room.

All eyes are on what the league will do with the three referees.

But of course the NBA will not respond. They hope that the Bulls and Lakers will play at least six games, because they need Kobe and Chen Long to increase the exposure of the league.

In G1 of the finals, Chen Long scored a large quasi-triple-double with 41 points, 9 rebounds and 14 rebounds, but still failed to lead the Bulls to win.

科比的表现同样不俗，36分6篮板8助攻2抢断1盖帽，如此全面的数据自然配得上一场胜利。

The only problem is that the referee's whistle is too dark.

The Lakers have also become the target of public criticism from fans.

The league immediately held a press conference. Of course, it did not admit that the referee's call was wrong, but made an 'official' explanation for several controversial calls in the game.

Because the league controls the rules, they can find all kinds of basis for whistleblowing in the confrontation, which arouses the attention of fans even more.

The heat of G2 in the finals is even higher.

Chen Long and his Bulls, Kobe Bryant and his Lakers already have a large fan base, plus a lively audience.

When G2 started, the ratings of the Finals suddenly surpassed last year's Yellow-Green War and became the Finals with the highest ratings since Jordan retired.

From this perspective alone, the league won.
