Chapter 39 The Fifth Game

The fifth game between the Lakers and the 76ers started two nights later.

The home rules of the finals, from 1985 to 2014, have adopted the 232 game system, that is to say, after the Lakers have completed two away games, the 76ers will complete three consecutive games at home.

This fifth game is the last home game for the 76ers.

It is also the game where they have the greatest advantage.

The whole team is united and wants to defeat the Lakers in one fell swoop and give the 00-01 season a perfect curtain call.

"Brothers, it's time to reach the pinnacle of the NBA!"

Before the start of the game, in the locker room, the players of the 76ers gathered together, and their captain Iverson uttered this heart-pounding sentence.

Outside the locker room, countless spectators shouted for the champion.

Dugu Ming felt the heart beating violently in his chest. As a basketball player, this was the moment he dreamed of. He felt that he was in excellent condition and all the cells in his body were in a state of extreme excitement, which made him very satisfied. He high-fived his teammates one by one, encouraged each other, and then walked out of the locker room together.

"This night will definitely belong to the Warriors of the 76ers!"

When the 76ers players entered the arena, the DJ on the scene chanted slogans, which drove the fans in the audience to launch a wave of carnival that was blood-pounding.

While blowing the whistle, the referee threw the basketball in his hand upwards.

Mutombo and O'Neal jumped up almost at the same time, roaring.

This time, Mutombo has the upper hand, with his hand just below the basketball, which changes course and bounces toward the Sixers' backcourt.

The fans at the scene immediately cheered. Their emotions reached their peak as the game started. Every move of the 76ers can make their emotions uncontrollable.

After the 76ers got the ball, they did not quickly launch an attack. They simply passed the ball from beyond the three-point line, allowing everyone to enter the state earlier.

In the end, the basketball fell into the hands of Duguming. Duguming made a cross step, which affected Fox's defense and immediately stopped for a jumper.

Scored easily.

"Ming--"

The DJ at the scene shouted with exaggerated long tones.

Since he evolved into a golden quality title, Dugu Ming's singles ability has skyrocketed, and Fox can't defend him at all.

O'Neal's eyes were red, like a bull in a hurry, he forced Mutombo to the inside, and then took a pass from Fisher.

"Go away!"

O'Neal knocked Dikembe Mutombo hard, then dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

"drop!"

The referee blew his whistle to signal Mutombo's defensive foul.

Mutombo was hit with a painful face. He rubbed his chest and looked at the referee innocently, expressing his incomprehension about the foul call.

O'Neal stood on the free throw line with a fierce face and made the free throw.

"If you have the guts, come and kill me again!"

After O'Neill made the penalty, he waved his arms excitedly, demonstrating to the [-]ers.

The momentum of the Lakers tonight is very different.

In fact, thinking about it, it’s over for them to lose another game, and they have to fight for everything.

Afterwards, Hill missed a mid-range jumper and the Lakers launched a fast break. Kobe forcibly pushed Iverson away and dunked.

Iverson eagerly asked Dugu Ming for the ball, and now the momentum of the [-]ers was somewhat suppressed, and he was eager to win back.

Duguming hesitated for a moment, and handed the ball to him. After Iverson dribbled the ball twice, he suddenly accelerated and went inside.

O'Neal rushed up fiercely, like a mountain toppled, and hit Iverson, and at the same time pressed his big hand on the basketball.

Iverson flew straight out of the baseline.

Duguming signaled to the referee that O'Neal had fouled, but the referee turned a blind eye. The Lakers quickly launched a fast break after getting the ball. Seeing that Duguming couldn't keep up, Fox got up and completed a heavy dunk.

"I won't lose to you again tonight!"

Fox pointed at Dugu from a distance and yelled.

In the opening 2 minutes, the [-]ers fell behind by [-] points.

For the [-]ers and the fans who support them, this is undoubtedly a pouring of cold water.

After the start of the game, the Lakers showed a strong desire to attack, while the [-]ers were a little flustered.

The spirits of the two sides are not at the same level at all.

"Snapped!"

Mutombo's shot was blocked by O'Neal with a big cap.

The Lakers saw the crowd and attacked, a total of four people participated in the fast break, and the [-]ers, except for Iverson and Duguming, failed to retreat in time.

The Lakers scored [-] points again.

"What are you doing?"

Iverson was a little unhappy. He frowned and stared at his teammates with blame in his eyes.

"I didn't pay attention to..."

Hill was a little embarrassed, and quickly stated that he would play seriously.

"Give me the ball next!"

Iverson gritted his teeth and said.

Kobe got [-] points, [-] rebound and [-] assist after the opening game. In contrast, Iverson had all zeros, which made him a little unbearable.

I am the most valuable player!

Of course, the [-]ers players have no objection. Iverson is the soul of the [-]ers. It is only right and proper to give him the ball to play.

Although in the eyes of many fans and media commentators, Iverson is a team cancer, his singles and shot selection look very bad.

But in fact, without Iverson, the [-]ers would be an out-and-out team.

If you can't get in, it's a cancer, but if you get in, it's awesome.

After getting the ball, Iverson passed Kobe in one step and went inside again. Facing O'Neal's supplementary defense, he didn't have the slightest intention of giving in, and directly slammed into it.

"drop!"

This time, the referee blew his whistle.

O'Neal raised his hand helplessly. He didn't expect Iverson to come here just to make a foul, but he was really fooled.

O'Neill then said fiercely to Iverson: "Next time you do this again, I will directly crush all your bones!"

"Just your fat body?"

Iverson responded contemptuously, stepped to the free throw line, and easily made both shots.

O'Neill wanted to bite his teeth, but Mutombo became his punching bag. The poor uncle was thrown out by O'Neill, and he watched helplessly as the opponent dunked the ball into the hoop.

After that, Iverson responded with a three-pointer.

O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-up.

Both of them competed vigorously, seeming to prove who is the better superstar of the team.

The first quarter ended with Iverson and O'Neal's continuous singles. O'Neal scored [-] points and [-] rebounds in a single quarter, while Iverson scored [-] points and [-] steals. The Lakers led by [-] points.
