Chapter 570: Night of the Championship(1/3)
Seeing that the score gap had returned to 14 points again, Kobe sighed quietly... He suddenly felt that something was very likely to happen to them today.
On the basketball court, the attack continues.
Both teams were launching brutal charges against each other's defense.
Chen Jie's throw opened the score to 14 points.
The Lakers also started to attack. This time, their poor touch began to show off again... The basketball wandered around the basket for a few times before falling out. Chen Jie jumped high in the paint and picked it off.
This ball.
Then, he controlled the basketball after halftime. The Lakers, not the Bulls, were worried now, so he kept pressing the game time and passing the ball to his teammates for fun... when there were only 3 seconds left.
, Chen Jie then shot directly from outside the three-point line...
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, Chen Jie also had a bad shot this time. The basketball had already hit the rim and bounced high. However, before the Lakers had time to grab the rebound, Chandler on the inside had already jumped high.
He grabbed the basketball and threw it to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie controlled the ball outside the three-point line. He controlled the ball under his hips for several consecutive times and delayed the time until there was only one point left to take another shot!
"Whoa!"
This time, the three-pointer finally hit the basket as expected.
69-52!
Things are bad!
17 points difference!
Chen Jie's three-pointer made the fans at the scene speechless.
They also felt the panic that Kobe had before. It seemed that the Lakers were gradually reducing their possibility of victory... Oh my god. This is a 17-point difference!
The game in the second quarter was coming to an end soon. The Lakers hurriedly launched another attack and handed the basketball to Ariza in the paint. Ariza finally made a two-pointer inside.
Then, the ball belongs to the Bulls... Chen Jie, a guy who has been cursed thousands of times in the eyes of Lakers fans. Tens of thousands of times, once again suppressed the basketball and the rhythm. The Bulls and
The Lakers still have a decent offensive and defensive posture...
But it wasn't until the last 4 seconds of the second quarter that Chen Jie fired directly from one step away from the three-point line.
"Whoa!"
The basketball hits again!
Suddenly, the Lakers audience sighed in their hearts that God is so damn unfair. That bitch Chen Jie actually scored another jump shot!
And Chen Jie's three-pointer made the score 72-54! The Bulls already led the Lakers by 18 points!
Chen Jie only had the last two seconds left for the Lakers to attack. Within these two seconds, the Lakers barely threw the basketball near the midfield.
Naturally, such a shot was impossible to hit... The Lakers missed the last shot. The Bulls ended the first half with a huge 18-point margin of 72-54.
The fans at the scene began to curse loudly——
"Damn Chen Jie...damn the Bulls..." They didn't know what to say. In short, the Bulls have now completely found their own rhythm. This shot is killing them. Gradually
What they felt was that the Bulls continued to lose blood... and were about to run out of blood. In the end, they could only die.
The anger in their hearts made these fans very unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.
On the Chicago side, people cheered one after another. People whispered to each other and their faces were full of excitement - "The Bulls beat the Lakers by 18 points at halftime! Oh my God, that's really good!"
"Yeah, those bullshit experts who said that the Lakers will definitely win the Bulls while the game is hot are all bullshit!"
"That's natural. How can the Bulls' tenacity be imagined?"
"This is the true strength of the Bulls...The Lakers have no leverage at all to compete with the Bulls for the championship!"
Bulls fans, at this moment, their voices have become stronger and stronger, and their previous doubts about the Bulls have completely dissipated.
All they have left now is their admiration for this team and their surprise at the fighting power this team has shown.
Of course, they will not ignore the existence of Chen Jie... It can be said that this guy Chen Jie started this game... In the second quarter, Chen Jie scored 20 points in a single quarter.
Scored a terrifying 45 points in the game...
He is still the most trustworthy person on the Bulls, and he is also the guy on the Bulls who is most likely to get back into trouble... His scoring has exceeded the limit of what the opponent can defend.
The atmosphere in the Bulls locker room became heated. Chen Jie said loudly to everyone: "Guys... today we are in Los Angeles. For the first time, we have found the feeling of truly belonging to ourselves... Next, let's do this, we will definitely
We must defeat the Lakers, lead them with this game, return home and win another game, and we will win the final championship!"
The morale of the Bulls players has basically begun to rise. After hearing Chen Jie's words and thinking about the championship that is very likely to fall into the hands of the Bulls, everyone's mood became enthusiastic.
Morale is high!
The Lakers' locker room was frighteningly gloomy. Kobe didn't even speak. He no longer had the excitement of defeating the Bulls in the last game...
After a long time, Kobe finally said: "We haven't lost yet, far from it... Guys, keep fighting! We will win!"
What responded to him was only the worried eyes of everyone.
By this time, they had all seen the terror of the Bulls, especially that guy Chen Jie.
.........The third quarter of the game officially started, and the first ball was still on the Bulls' side.
Then, Hinrich controlled the ball for half the court and took a lot of time to reach beyond the three-point line. Then he passed the basketball to Chen Jie, who passed the basketball to Chandler inside.
The Bulls were playing a standard positional battle, and they were playing very hard. Although the Lakers were anxious, rushing to steal the ball might cause the Bulls to become even more arrogant.
Therefore, they could only accompany the Bulls in positional warfare... The basketball did not come into the hands of Chen Jie who was ambushing at the bottom line until there were only the last six seconds of the attack time. After Chen Jie received the basketball, he made another three-pointer
The ball is released!
"Whoa!"
The net flowers are flying and the net is rippling!
Chen Jie hit another three-pointer!
The total personal score rose to 48 points!
The score of the two teams has now become 75-54. The Bulls have led the Lakers by 21 points!
"It's over! The Lakers are over!"
When many people saw that the point difference had reached 21 points, they had already predicted that the Lakers were finished... In the last game, they defeated the Bulls at home, which gave many Lakers fans some hope.
But in this game, the Lakers were once again beaten back to their original shape by Chen Jie and the Bulls, and were beaten back to their original shape by Chen Jie's 48 points... Now they are already behind by a terrible 21 points. To win this game, it is almost impossible.
There is no possibility left.
However, the two guys of the Lakers, Kobe and Gasol, are definitely not people who accept their fate. Kobe once again controlled the ball for half the game, then broke into the Bulls' inside, and finally used a ball under the basket.
The handsome man looked back and hit the ball. In this way, Kobe scored two points. The score became 75-56, and the score gap became 19 points again...
However, the Bulls started to play their slow positional offense again. Chen Jie controlled the ball and exchanged passes with Hinrich on the outside, and then passed the ball into the inside. By the time there were only 6 left in the attack time
Seconds later, Chen Jie took control of the ball and rushed inside, but his pull-up jump shot missed.
Chandler on the inside was already ready. He caught the basketball in his arms and then passed it to Chen Jie who had already exited beyond the three-point line.
Chen Jie received the basketball and spent time with several players outside until Kwame Brown found a gap in the paint and with only 5 seconds left in the attack time, he passed the basketball to Kwame Brown.
…
Kwame Brown dunks directly inside!
The basketball was dunked, the score became 77-56, and the Bulls' lead became 21 points...
Then, the third quarter of the game went like this.
The Bulls don't care what the Lakers think, they just focus on positional warfare and don't take any shots until the last few seconds of shot time.
After all, the Bulls were so many points ahead of the Lakers that they were not in a hurry, but the Lakers were so many points behind the Bulls that they had to be anxious...
In this way, the Bulls will focus on positional warfare.
The Bulls' behavior was indeed a bit shameless, but it also left the Lakers with nothing to do. They tried several times to speed up the offense, but the Bulls just persisted in their style of play. This made the Lakers extremely annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
In this way, by the end of the third quarter, the Bulls led the Lakers 93-71, and the Lakers were already 22 points behind... It can be said that this game no longer needs to be played.
Many fans have already left the venue early. They cannot accept such consequences...
Kobe still didn't give up, he still persisted, and he still believed that a miracle would happen... However, in the fourth quarter, although his touch was getting better and better, he was gradually approaching the score... but the speed was too slow.
The score difference of 22 points is too much...
The Lakers simply cannot afford such a score gap...
Although the Bulls had Chen Jie off the court in the fourth quarter, they still played very well. The Lakers quietly collapsed in the midst of such an offense...
In the end, the score was fixed at 109-96. The Bulls won the battle of Tianwangshan on the road, leading the Lakers with a total score of 3-2!
This is a magnificent and powerful decisive battle.
The Bulls and Lakers are standing at their respective nodes. They are about to face a situation where they can move forward or take a step back and fall into the abyss.
The Lakers relied on the intimidating power of Kobe Bryant's victory over the Bulls before them to get off to an extremely gorgeous start.
