The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 516 Shark's Tiredness, Grizzly's Routine

The Lakers bench during the break was very quiet. Malone was giving the trainer a massage while pouring Gatorade into his mouth.

"Tony, Kobe, Ron, AC, Shaq, I don't want this to be another failure."

The performance of Payton and Glen Rice in this game cannot be said to be sluggish, but they have no chance to perform at all. In this case, they might as well go on. Apart from running back and forth, these guys have no other use at all. Because there is no ball, the ball is gathered in the hands of Malone for most of the third quarter, but the Lakers are still behind by 8 points at the end of the third quarter. Section temporarily deprecated Malone.

Ma Long was very aggrieved, damn it, Zen master completely ignored his performance in the third quarter. He tried his best in the third quarter, but in the end he was still 8 points behind. Is this his own fault, of course not.

It was other people who deliberately played themselves. They did not work hard enough to lead to the current result. Ma Long would not do such things as disobedience to the head coach, so he could only sit on the bench with peace of mind.

In the fourth quarter of the Grizzlies, Duncan Xiaotian did not rest, but the person at the center position was not Brand, but Augstagg. Seeing this big white bear, Zen Master understood everything. That bastard Paul Westphal began to arrange himself again, but is O'Neill so easy to arrange? He is not a soft guy like Luke Langley.

As soon as O'Neill came up, he hung on Augstagg to complete a layup dunk. The difference between the Pyrenees and him was too big, but Paul Westphal let the opponent come up, and he didn't expect him to be able to defend O'Neill at all, but enough to consume O'Neill's physical strength. Although O'Neill is an iron man, he still belongs to the category of human beings after all.

Augstagg didn't foul on this ball, but it got worse in the next confrontation with O'Neal, which made the shark a little overwhelmed, and once again hung up on Augstagg and wanted to put the ball in the basket. As a result, Duncan blocked the ball with a snap, and the ball instantly became the Grizzlies'.

But O'Neal's dominance was really strong. With 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, they evened the score. However, O'Neal was already on the sidelines at this time, panting heavily. He had never been so tired since playing basketball. O'Neal felt the malice from the Grizzlies.

O'Neal was tired enough, and Augstagg was similar, so Paul Westphal replaced the opponent and replaced him with Brand. This is the Grizzlies' offensive opportunity.

Xiao Tian didn't take a single shot in this quarter, but he already had 20 assists. Facing Ron Harper, Xiao Tian didn't use the slightest feint. He put his speed on his feet, took off, shot, shot, and with a sound of the ball, he went directly into the basket for 28 points. This was Xiao Tian's first score in this quarter.

Zen Master loudly called on Harper to defend from the sidelines, but now Harper is no longer the defensive gatekeeper of the Bulls' three consecutive championships. He is already old and Harper can't keep up with the rhythm at all.

Although O'Neal made a short-term sacrifice, it brought the Lakers a disadvantage. Compared with the personal gains and losses of the players, the team's victory is the most important thing, and Zen Master knows this very well.Payton came up and brought the ball to the frontcourt. There was still no sign of sweat on Xiao Tian's face. This time, Payton didn't make a breakthrough or pass the ball. Instead, he was playing one-on-one with Xiao Tian. Seeing that the game time was running out, Payton threw the ball directly with a swipe. It was also a three-pointer.

The Grizzlies didn't call a timeout. Paul Westphal believed in Xiao Tian's judgment. Xiao Tian controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Payton, he also made a shot without hesitation. He scored the ball and scored two consecutive three-pointers. Xiao Tian looked at Payton and continued to shoot if you have the ability. I will be afraid of you.

Payton also did not expect that Xiao Tian would respond to him, because Xiao Tian's style of play since his debut has been based on the team's offense, but this season Xiao Tian's performance is a bit different from the past, and his enthusiasm for scoring seems to have come up all at once.

Payton wanted to continue to respond, because it was related to his dignity on the court, but Zen Master stopped himself from the sidelines, "Gary, I hope you can be sober. Winning this game is more important than anything else. Bravery and ruthlessness cannot be exchanged for the final victory."

Payton was in a very upset mood. Damn, he was tagged with such a hat after only one shot. It was really speechless, but Zen Master was right in saying that the Lakers must win this game, and the time before the end of the game is getting less and less.Payton came to the frontcourt, Xiao Tian deliberately let Payton go.

"Hey, you idiot, don't you really dare not vote?"

What Zen Master and Payton said just now, Xiao Tian couldn't hear, but he could guess that it was [-] to [-]. It must be that Payton sacrificed his personal offense to become a global team. After all, he is not the absolute core of the Lakers.

Nima, this bastard deliberately provoked himself, can he bear it? Peyton can completely feel the cold light from the Zen master on the sidelines, but Xiao Tian has bullied him to such an extent. If he doesn't fight back, he is still not a man.

Duang, Payton still chose to shoot this ball. It was not reckless, but to prevent his basketball dignity from being trampled by the opponent. Unfortunately, the ball was hit, and the rebound was grabbed by Brand. AC Green made a timely foul, which prevented the Grizzlies from playing a fast break, but also sent Brand to the free throw line. Brand's performance in this game can only be said to be mediocre. He scored 12 points and 5 rebounds. come back.

Zen master is very angry. What he dislikes most is the kind of players who insist on going their own way. It takes capital to do what one wants, but Zen master can't see this capital at all in Payton. The opponent's defense is completely top-notch among defenders, but the offense can only be regarded as second-rate.
