Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 152 Suffocation
With Reggie Miller's shocking 3 plus 1 score, the point difference returned to single digits.

The already low morale of the Pacers was reawakened by their team spirit.

However, the Lakers players did not intend to let the Pacers win the O'Brien trophy. Kobe held the ball on the outside, crossed and changed to break through Bowen, and rushed to the Pacers' penalty area by pressing the full accelerator key.

In O'Neill's view, Kobe's stupid impact is like Don Quixote charging against the windmill. He let go of Ben Wallace, defended to the basket, and prepared to give Kobe an eternal life. Unforgettable lessons let him understand how terrifying Shaq's father is.

Just as O'Neal was getting all the strength to take off and block the block, Kobe stepped on the brakes ahead of time, threw the basketball high, passed O'Neal's raised right hand, and accurately found Ben Wallace who took off, and the latter grabbed the ball with both hands , Poured into the basket hard!

Ben Wallace flaunted his biceps and returned to the defense all the way. O'Neal picked up the dropped basketball and cursed angrily.

Reggie Miller came over and briefly spoke to him.

In the next round, O'Neal crushed Ben Wallace, forced a one-handed dunk and scored a foul on Ben Wallace.

O'Neal, who claimed that he would not miss a free throw at a critical moment, did not break his promise and made an extra penalty. The cheers of the fans were even louder than when he completed the dunk.

Kobe missed a mid-range shot, O'Neal took off the backcourt rebound, and after receiving the ball, Brandon used the speed when the Cavaliers were selected as the All-Stars six years ago to shake off Billups, sprint along the left, and went straight Lakers heartland.

Garnett rushed over to defend, blocking the angle of Brandon's layup.

Brandon is well aware of the coverage of his former teammate on the defensive end. He didn't dare to force the frame. Instead, he circled from the bottom line to the right side and waited for an opportunity again.

Billups rushed back, ready to switch defenses with Garnett, the Lakers' defense appeared a little loose.

Brandon directly pulled out and hit two points.

After scoring the goal, Brandon moved his ankle and felt a little sore, but it was nothing compared to the championship trophy that was right in front of him.

The voices of the fans are getting louder, the Pacers are starting, and there are 9 minutes left, anything is possible.

Zen Master immediately called a timeout. Such a defensive loophole should not have appeared in the fourth quarter of the finals. The team seemed to have forgotten that they were the one behind in the total score. A 6-point lead on the field is really nothing, Reggie · Miller only needs 8.9 seconds to smooth the difference.

Live cameras sharply captured Lakers vice president Jim Buss sitting behind the visiting team's bench, staring blankly at the back of the chair in front of him.

According to the interpretation of the Pacers supporters, Jim has fallen into despair and regrets that he personally created the Pacers' first NBA championship.

The two sides returned to the court. In order to ensure the space and attack power on the court, the Pacers replaced Al Harrington as a power forward and put on a four-shot lineup, sacrificing Mason's defense and rebounding. Carlisle planned to With the fiery touch of Reggie Miller and others, bet on offense.

The Lakers' first offense was Garnett's turnaround jumper. Al Harrington's defensive ability is not flattering, and the Lakers intend to use him as a breakthrough.

Garnett's jumper hit the board. Although the process was not what he wanted, the ending was not bad.

The two sides kept seeing each other at the 6-point mark. O'Neal took advantage of the space opened by his teammates and continued to wreak havoc on the basket. Zen Master did not dare to replace Diop. Brad Miller could only temporarily take the center position and challenge O'Neal. consume.

Soon Brad Miller received his sixth personal foul and graduated with honors. O'Neal continued his fiery free throw touch, made two free throws, and wrote his scoring data to 37 points.

With 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the game, the Lakers led 98 to 95.

Billups held the ball, and after a pick-and-roll with Garnett, he made a rare breakthrough, passed Al Harrington who was defending him in a misplaced position, rushed to the Pacers' penalty area, threw a throw, and missed the basket.

But Artest, relying on his animal intuition, suddenly rushed to the basket, stuck Reggie Miller, grabbed the crooked rebound before O'Neal, and made a tip-up.

Reggie Miller picked up the basketball and handed it to Brandon without saying a word.

Bryant was close to Reggie Miller, who felt hot in the fourth quarter, and he could grab any gap and turn it into a sharp arrow in the Lakers' heart.

Al Harrington came out to set an off-ball screen for Miller, and Miller took the opportunity to push Kobe hard, and he immediately ran in the opposite direction, which is his specialty.

Brandon's pass is in place immediately, and Kobe has already desperately bypassed the screen and rushed up.

Kobe came faster than expected. Miller made a feint with the ball, but Kobe, who had suffered a loss once, didn't take off.

Seeing that Kobe was unmoved, Miller directly forced a three-pointer. The basketball's parabola was higher than before, but the landing point was as accurate as ever.

There are 48 seconds left, 100 to 98.

Pacers fans at Conseco Arena all stood up, shouting deafening slogans, cheering for the team.

Garnett held the ball on the wing, and Kobe used Ben Wallace's cover to get to the free throw line. After receiving a pass from Garnett, he faked and flew Bowen. Before Linton arrived, he jumped high and made a mid-range shot.

31 seconds.

O'Neal attacked Ben Wallace in the low post, and Artest immediately chose to double-team.

O'Neal immediately passed the ball to Bruce Bowen in the corner.

Bowen, who only made 47 of 3 shots in the first 1 and a half minutes, aimed for half a century at this five-meter gap that shouldn't have appeared at this moment, and made a three-pointer and hit.

102 to 101, the atmosphere in the arena has reached its peak, the Pacers reversed the double-digit point difference, and the championship seems within reach.

18 seconds.

The Lakers sent the baseline ball to Kobe, and the Pacers tried to steal it. Under the double-teaming of Reggie Miller and Bowen, Kobe stopped the ball in the bottom corner and called the last timeout of the game.

12 seconds.

The Lakers re-sent the sideline ball, and Al Harrington desperately interfered in front of Garnett, but Garnett still used his vision to pass the ball the moment Kobe got rid of the defense.

Bowen immediately fouled and Kobe made a free throw.

The boos were so loud that it seemed that the roof of the Conseco Arena was about to be lifted, but Kobe turned a deaf ear to it, his face sinking like water.

Two free throws were made, the time was a fateful 8.9 seconds, and the Pacers trailed by three points.

Carlisle drew the play with a final timeout.

Al Harrington and Bowen are of course fake, but the Lakers dare not let them go.

It was still Reggie Miller who received the ball in the end, and O'Neal's huge body was an excellent natural cover.

Kobe was blocked by O'Neal, but the person O'Neal was facing was Ben Wallace, who was the best defensive player this season.

Reggie Miller's three-point shot, Ben Wallace took off at the same time, and his fingertips touched the basketball.

The arc of the ball changed and it landed a meter in front of the rim. Garnett grabbed his 18th rebound of the game and slammed the ball forward.

Kobe took the lead, dunked with one hand, and the ball went into the light.

　After watching a few preseason games in Wuhu Lake, I feel that it is really bad to have no insiders.At least there must be a blue-collar who is stuck in the board and defends the top defense. Now when he meets a team like the Pelicans and Thunder, it is easy to be exploded.

　　Others' five minors are based on Curry Harden's ability to play a lot of opposing centers, and my Lake's offensive ability of the back line...
