Chapter 409 In the finals, the Lakers are here again!
Kobe walked onto the free throw line and made both free throws steadily.
While he was angry, he still maintained an excellent competitive state, and the only one in the league was.
In the Lakers' offense, O'Neal played the same support as in the last game, and Sun Hao took advantage of the three-pointer after the pick-and-roll.
"Swish!"
Unlike the last game, Sun Hao showed an extremely outstanding competitive state at the beginning!
This also caused a burst of cheers from the audience.
Sun Hao had a bad start to the game, and the Lakers won both big wins.
Now Sun Hao has a touch at the beginning, and the Lakers will easily advance tonight!
But immediately, they realized that what they thought was a bit simple.
Because Kobe forced to rush into the inside again, he avoided O'Neal's layup after dodging him!
Kobe had a strong desire to attack at the beginning, and like the second and third game, he had a very high tendency to attack the basket and his scoring conversion rate was also high.
Is Kobe a stronger person?
Yes, not.
Because of his anger, he did become better, but more because of the foul just now.
After O'Neal got a foul at the beginning, the aggressiveness of the defensive end inevitably declined.
Because if he takes a second foul, he will be forced to end up.
Sun Hao realized something and called O'Neal and Malone to him.
"Carl, you go to the basket to assist in defense. Kobe just wants to make Shaq foul tonight."
Sun Hao's meaning is clearly expressed. O'Neal's 2 offenses = O'Neal is not present = O'Neal is injured.
In other words, Kobe, or Johns's idea is to bring the strength of both sides back to the second and third game.
Because in that case, their 1 win and 1 loss versus the Lakers.
Even because Sun Hao cannot play 50+ games and targeted defensive strategies, the Mavericks' winning odds are greater than that of the Lakers.
Ma Long nodded.
In terms of game experience, he is much better than Sun Hao, but in terms of field sense, Sun Hao, a player with IQ in Hall of Fame basketball, is more sensitive.
In the Lakers' offense, Sun Hao and O'Neal played pick-and-roll again. This time, the Mavericks teamed Sun Hao and Sun Hao sent the ball to O'Neal.
After receiving the ball, O'Neal attacked the basket directly. During the breakthrough, Nowitzki, who was assisting in defense, turned around to the basket with a large force and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
Really flexible fat man!
Nowitzki was stunned. O'Neal's flexibility that did not match his figure, he had experienced the feeling of Duncan in the Western Conference semi-finals.
This is just bullying!
Kobe then broke through the basket with the ball, and faced O'Neal's airborne Vanessa must be very happy and leaning back when facing O'Neal!
However, the moment he took action, Ma Long came from the weak side and attacked from behind Kobe.
"Bang!"
In the shocked eyes of the fans at the scene, Malone assisted the defense and blocked Kobe's attack from the outside!
The next second, Staples' center fell into a boiling sound.
O'Neal and Malone, this is a joint effort to cover Kobe!
This passage just makes people imagine.
You should know that the Lakers F4 had a big fight last season, and the three protagonists were O'Neal, Mark and Kobe.
O'Neal and Malone are both standing opposite Kobe!
This block is simply killing people!
The Mavericks sent the ball on the sideline, and Kobe took the ball backwards after receiving the ball.
"Swish!"
Buzzer-beating hit!
Half an angel and half a devil.
This is the most true portrayal of Kobe's period.
The reason why Ma Long dared to assist in the defense in the front ball was because Sun Hao asked Ma Long to assist in the defense because he knew that Kobe would not pass the ball.
But Kobe's strong psychological quality was also fully reflected in the ball just now.
You cover yours, I enter mine!
5 to 6!
Kobe scored 6 points in a row at the beginning, and the Lakers were still 1 point behind!
O'Neal, then played a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao.
After disassembling it, he took the ball and walked in. Bale came from the weak side to defend. O'Neal turned around and distributed the ball to Christie, the bottom corner.
Christie adjusted and took action.
"Swish!"
His three-pointer also scored!
The words O'Neal before the game not only made the Lakers players no longer carry themselves in pride, but even made them more focused than they had before.
And this kind of focus brings better performance!
8 to 6!
The Lakers overtake the score.
Nowitzki hit Ma Long with a low post, and the golden rooster turned back and took action.
"Swish!"
There are, too!
Sun Hao’s previous worries were correct.
People can be divided into two categories because of their different psychological qualities.
One type is that if the psychological quality is not strong enough, they will often feel heartbroken in the face of difficulties;
Another type of people have strong psychological qualities. The more critical the moment or even in desperate situations, the more outstanding they can perform.
Kobe and Nowitzki both belong to the second category.
These two people may not have enough chemical reactions, but in desperate situations, they both showed their best competitive state.
The result is that although the instant kill combination is unstoppable, Kobe and Nowitzki also played their best performance since the series.
Neither of the two sides could limit the opponent's scoring well, and the anxious situation at the beginning continued until the end of the game.
Kobe's big heart jump shot made a hit, helping the Mavericks to score the score 106 to 105 in the first 6 seconds of the final game!
After scoring the goal, Kobe's forehead pushed the teeth in the front row forward, and the fierce light in front of him was revealed.gif!
That was his most fierce expression, no doubt about it!
The Lakers were forced to call for a timeout.
Although I made enough psychological preparations before the game, the Mavericks really played crazy tonight.
The winner is now between one goal.
"Sun, you have the last shot, I'll give you a pick-and-roll."
When the pause was suspended, O'Neal spoke up.
He fulfilled what he had said before.
Moreover, Sun Hao's key ball ability is the most trustworthy type, whether during the Mavericks or after joining the Lakers.
"I have an idea."
But at this moment, Sun Hao suddenly spoke.
O'Neal, including Phil Jackson, cast doubtful eyes on him.
After Sun Hao expressed his thoughts, Phil Jackson thought for a while before nodding, and O'Neal's face felt an indescribable joy.
He even reached out and patted Sun Hao on the shoulder hard.
He must have saved the Milky Way in his previous life, so he met Sun Hao at this time of his career!
The Lakers' offense is suspended.
The sideline ball was sent to Sun Hao.
At this time, the defender standing in front of him was Kobe.
In the end, Kobe volunteered to come up to defend Sun Hao.
Sun Haosan threatened to make a real breakthrough by fake shots and used his first quick step to break through Kobe's defense.
But Kobe also showed his qualities as a top defender, chasing Sun Hao from behind, and always prepared to block Sun Hao from behind.
Including at the same time, Bell, on the weak side, also let Christie come to double-team Sun Hao.
Johnson is betting that Sun Hao will not pass the ball into Christie's hands.
In fact, Sun Hao didn't pass it there either.
Christie performed well tonight, but handing the winning goal to the player with less than 30% of the three-point shooting percentage of the season was not only Sun Hao's wrong choice, but also Phil Jackson's.
Sun Hao continued to break through the basket, and Diop also helped to defend at this time.
The attack on three sides completely blocked Sun Hao's attack space.
And there is not much time left.
But at this moment, Sun Hao did not expect that even the Mavericks team members, or after he did that, they realized that perhaps he was the choice to go from the beginning.
He sent the ball through the cracks and into O'Neal's hand at the basket!
After O'Neal received the ball, he was left with a violent abuse frame with both hands.
"Bang!"
The ball was poured into the basket hard, and the huge impact made the basket shake.
The Los Angeles fans at the scene are definitely not unfamiliar with this scene.
In the 2000 playoff Western Conference Final tiebreak against the Trail Blazers, the Lakers fell 15 points behind to enter the fourth quarter.
At that time, the Lakers were chasing points in a crazy way, and the winning goal that allowed them to overtake before the end of the game was almost exactly the same as the goal in front of them!
The biggest difference is that the passer changed from Kobe to Sun Hao!
Then, in front of Kobe!
This scene was captured by the photographer on the scene, which will definitely become the standard illustration after the game tonight.
The Lakers' new boss ended the game in front of the old boss and the old boss ended the game in the way the old boss once ended the game!
This sounds a bit difficult to talk about, but if you take a closer look, maybe only Kobe himself knows the taste!
Kobe was indeed a little confused because he was chasing Sun Hao, and he was also one of O'Neal's many background boards for dunking.
How ironic this was to him.
Fortunately, the game is not completely over yet.
The Mavericks have the last 0.8 seconds.
Kobe, there is still a last chance.
The Mavericks' timeout.
"I'll defend Kobe."
Sun Hao volunteered to Jackson during the suspension.
Jackson hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Hesitated because Sun Hao's defensive strength is not top-notch in the league. Not to mention Christie and Finley may be a little worse than Finley.
He nodded because this was Sun Hao's own request, and he would not refuse such a request.
After the timeout, Fisher served off the field from the Lakers' front-court sideline.
At this moment, the fans discovered that an interesting scene appeared on the field.
Sun Hao is defending Kobe!
This is very interesting.
Kobe defended Sun Hao in the previous round, but Sun Hao defended Kobe with the last goal!
The two are playing turn-based PK!
However, many fans still showed concern in their eyes, because Sun Hao was not good at defending.
They didn't know what medicine Phil Jackson sold in this gourd.
Actually, Phil Jackson was just as curious.
He didn't know how Sun Hao wanted to defend Kobe in the most critical round.
If Kobe is finally killed, Sun Hao will be the target of public criticism.
Even the image he accumulated throughout the series may collapse instantly.
Because if you can't defend yourself, it's a standard...a behavior of giving away heads.
The sideline referee handed the ball to Fisher and then blew the whistle to continue the game.
Diop, set the pick-and-roll for Kobe at the free throw line, and Kobe took advantage of the pick-and-roll to run.
However, Sun Hao squeezed past Diop like a loach.
The defense is divided into many parts, and Sun Hao has always done a great job in the pick-and-roll part.
Moreover, what happened next was even more unexpected.
Because of Kobe, he couldn't get the ball.
There was a stir at the scene, and Phil Jackson, even looked surprised.
But it was at this time that he knew why Sun Hao volunteered to defend Kobe at the last moment.
Sun Hao is playing with Kobe!
Kobe went left, and he predicted to go left in advance, and he predicted to go right in advance!
Well, just like Sun Hao made Kobe's three-pointer progress, Sun Hao had already achieved great success after learning from Kobe.
Kobe had no choice in the end, so he simply leaned on Sun Hao and reached out to ask for the ball.
But Sun Hao kept defending with his body on his side, and Fisher dared not pass it over there!
There was a 5-second violation in the serve, and Fisher's thinking and judgment were a matter of moments. He finally gave the ball to Nowitzki.
Nowitzki didn't have much time to adjust after receiving the ball, so he turned around and leaned back and took action.
Malone, who defended him, was also experienced in the end, and jumped up early to interfere with him.
Nowitzki's move was obviously skewed, and he bounced out on the edge of the basket.
The whistle of the final game rang out, and the Mavericks lost!
After O'Neal and Sun Hao cooperated, they completed the final kill!
The scene began to boil, and the players on and off the Lakers rushed to O'Neal to celebrate.
After winning this game, they eliminated the Mavericks 4-1.
Two years later, they returned to the finals again!
O'Neal, now he raised his head and shouted, feeling so excited that he could not do it.
He eliminated Kobe face to face and completed the final kill with his own hands!
The Lakers' F4 failure is not because of him, because he is given Sun Hao, he can still fight!
And at this moment, he really loved Sun Hao so much that he couldn't describe his love.
On the other side of the court, Kobe was still asking Fisher why he didn't give him the ball in the end.
Fisher didn't know what to say either.
In fact, that was a momentary judgment. If he really made a pass and was stolen by Sun Hao, then he would be the one who took the blame.
Kobe's questioning did not win. He shook his hands in frustration and sat on the bench with all his might.
The staff handed him a towel, and he took it and fell to the ground hard.
His eyes were red and he was extremely depressed and upset.
Especially after Sun Hao and O'Neal played the cooperation he had played and won the game to the decisive victory.
Nowitzki came over to comfort him after seeing it.
Kobe finally lowered his head and stood up and went back to the locker room with Nowitzki.
For him, this summer is destined to be an extremely busy summer again.
This is only his first time facing the Lakers, and it can be foreseen that there will be a second, third, or even more times.
If he wants to do things without developing in the direction of O'Neal's "not one, not two, not three, 4, 5, and 6" that he has to make himself stronger.
Of course, only a few fans paid attention to these things that happened on the sidelines.
At this time, almost everyone's eyes were on the Lakers players celebrating crazy on the court.
Chapter completed!
