Chapter 207 Jedi Counterattack
The Lakers did not expect the Warriors to lead by one point and dare to foul. If the Warriors lead by two points, Jackson Jackson would have replaced the Sharks. It is basically impossible to expect him to make two free throws.

The lead of one point is actually very small. No matter how low the free throw rate of the Sharks is, it is about 55% in the regular season. on the field.

But the unreasonable Warriors are a foul. They are betting luck with the Lakers. Just like the winning three-pointer in the last game, they are betting on Shaquille O'Neal's key free throw. At this time, skill is not important. It depends on whose heart is stronger. big.

"O'Neal repeatedly patted the ball and took the ball, and used his iconic action to push the ball with one hand. It is said that the big shark fell off a tree in Germany when he was a child, and his right wrist could not be bent for the rest of his life, which led to O'Neal's free throw. And shots are missed and lack arc."

"O'Neal must regret it now. He didn't renew his contract with the Australian free throw coach at the end of last season. It is said that the legendary top free throw expert offered a sky-high price that the Lakers could not accept. In the end, O'Neal chose to believe in himself and no longer asked for free throws. coach."

"Wipe your forehead to wipe the sweat, and then launch the ball with one hand. O'Neal's free throw posture has been changing, but the only thing that remains the same is the low accuracy and unsightly level. It feels that what the big shark throws is not a basketball, but a ball that will shatter. eggs."

"Sure enough, the first free throw is missed, so the pressure is on the Lakers. Although the shooting rate is more than 50%, you can at least score one point in terms of probability, but if you miss the first point, the pressure on the second point will be. Infinity, it is very difficult to keep the hit rate at 50%."

"Zen Master Jackson had to call another long timeout. Regardless of what he usually thinks, O'Neal must calm down at this time, and by the way, change players to go up to grab rebounds. Old Horry replaced Fisher. He and Grant will be up against Big Ben and Jermaine O'Neal, and whoever grabs this rebound will matter."

"It has happened in history that the second gang took the penalty at the back of the basket, and then the gang leader from outside the three-point line went in and dunked directly, and the one point turned into two points to kill the opponent in seconds."

"If the Sharks had this level of free throws, there wouldn't be so many NBA teams thinking about how to kill the sharks. The more nervous O'Neal took longer to wipe his sweat this time, and the ball felt even more awkward."

"The free throw was missed, Jermaine O'Neal grabbed this important rebound, the old Horry fouled immediately, the number of fouls for the Lakers was full, and Jermaine O'Neal made a free throw."

"O'Neal made two free throws steadily. He has a full-time free throw coach in the Warriors. His daily free throw percentage can reach about 90%, and it can also be maintained at about 80% during the regular season."

"The fatal thing is that the Lakers have no timeout and can only serve from the backcourt. Grant threw the ball to the frontcourt, and the time to return to the watch is only 0.9 seconds. It is definitely not enough for the backcourt to catch the ball and shoot with the ball. We can only bet on who is in the frontcourt. Received the ball and made a direct shot."

"The ball was intercepted by McGrady in the air. The game is over. Congratulations to the Warriors. The home game is 97:100 and the next game is played. The total score is tied at 2:2. The last game will be played at the Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers."

"The Warriors scored two 100 points at home, pulling themselves and the Lakers back to the same starting line. The two sides will have a showdown in Game [-], and the winner will advance to the next round of the NBA Western Conference playoffs."

The home fans of the winning Warriors were reluctant to leave for a long time. They had supper in the food corridor of the arena. When would they celebrate?

Only the Mavericks and Jazz played in the fifth game, as well as the Knicks and Raptors. Now there is a Lakers and Warriors. Fifth, it is a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

On May 2001, 5, Highway 3 from San Francisco to Los Angeles was crowded with densely packed vehicles, including large trucks, buses, and countless small cars, pickups, and vans. The Warriors team flag and police motorcycles cleared the way, heading towards Staples in a mighty way.

Several club buses of the Warriors drove in the front, surrounded by enthusiastic San Francisco fans, and they shouted "BEAT LA" loudly on the radio. This kind of scene is rare in many years.

The Warriors club, which has a good relationship with the Lakers, has obtained a sufficient number of away tickets to meet the needs of loyal Warriors fans. There are more fans left. Verus also found the nearest stadium to Staples. A huge screen was set up on site to broadcast the fifth playoff game of the Warriors live.

Verus didn't expect the Warriors to be so competitive, and they came back in the most dangerous situation. The pressure of the fifth game is definitely not on the Warriors' side. Last year, the Warriors were still at the bottom. Fans and Bricks accuse nitpickers of anything.

In a good mood, Verus reported with a smile: "I will not report the lineup of the Lakers. I believe that all Warriors and Lakers fans can memorize those five players. The lineup sent by Lenny, wow, really. Surprising."

“中锋7号杰梅因·奥尼尔、大前锋3号唐耶尔·马绍尔、小前锋1号特雷西·麦克格雷迪、得分后卫20号拉里·休斯、控球后卫31号杰森·特里，这是一套绝对出乎所有人意料之外的阵容。”

"This is a crazy lineup. Someone dared to use a pure teenager running and bombing lineup without a muscular big man against the Lakers with Shaquille O'Neal. This made everyone sweat for the Warriors."

"Warriors center Jr. O'Neal is 2 meters tall, tall enough but weighs only 11 kilograms. He is not at the same level as the Sharks in terms of physique. The direct confrontation between O'Neal and O'Neal is really exciting."

"Shark Shaquille O'Neill easily passed the jump ball to his partner. Although O'Neal Jr. struggled to make a jump, it's a pity that today's opponent is O'Neal who is extremely flexible, agile and excellent in jumping. Even if there are many outside players with a bounce of 80cm, they cannot be compared with Shaquille O'Neal."

"The Warriors used the full-court press at the beginning of the game. The young player Jason Terry stuck to Fisher and never let him dribble the ball easily. The Lakers, who were forced to slow down, had a hard time. Pass the ball to No. 8 Kobe Bryant."

"Jermaine didn't stay behind the big shark stupidly, so that he would be directly hit by O'Neal who was holding the ball, and Jr. O'Neal who went around the front was not afraid to directly confront the big shark. It was obvious that Big O'Neal was a little irritated. He Reaching out high under the basket for the ball."
