Chapter 378: Never Give Up (2)
Until the last moment, hope cannot be given up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 If you give up, the game is over. - Mitsuyoshi Anzai
For some reason, before the start of the second half of the game, Ruan Erniu suddenly had a classic quote from SD in his mind.
From his current point of view, the animation "Slam Dunk" has too many mistakes and omissions, such as Xiangbei should have used the speed advantage to drag Xiangyang Wugao to death, but it turned out that Xiangyang was ahead of Xiangbei by a big score, which did not conform to the basic principles of basketball.
But some spiritual and volitional things are still commendable. People are not machines, it is impossible to play all the tactics to the extreme, and sometimes, it is just a gamble in the game.
Because I believe it, I firmly believe it.
Before the opening, Ruan Erniu gathered his teammates together and hugged them in a circle, and he yelled: "Stick to our defense, we will definitely be able to win G4, even the Celtics have been killed by us, what can the Lakers do?"
On the offensive end of the Hawks, Ruan Erniu held the ball in the high position, and faced Gasol with a dry shot, looking directly at the basket with firm eyes, and nothing else.
Hit!
Fisher dribbled the ball across the half, and after Kobe received the ball, he rushed into the penalty area and barely shot against the three-man bag, but missed!
Erniu grabbed the rebound, quickly advanced to the halfcourt, hit the ground diagonally outside the three-point line, and after receiving the pass, the eclipse that was quickly inserted immediately dunked and bombed the basket to hit!
For the first time since the first quarter, the Hawks narrowed the score to single digits.
On the offensive end of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant forced another breakthrough after receiving the ball, completed a difficult back-up under the bag, and scored!
However, Phil Jackson's brow furrowed, and he couldn't replace Kobe Bryant at this time, because that's how Kobe Bryant played.
But it's too unsmart to do so, he could have scored in a more secure way and chose a more reasonable shot.
But Kobe Bryant didn't think about this, he just used such an unreasonable but wonderful offensive way to attack the basket again and again.
On the offensive end of the Hawks, Erniu held the ball in the low post, and after squeezing Gasol with his back, he shook off Odom's defense in the air and sent the ball to the basket with a small throw.
It was Kobe Bryant again, who singled out embarrassed with the ball in the low post, and was immediately caught by Mike Bibby when his teammates didn't pull away enough.
In a hurry, Kobe Bryant directly chose to turn over and jump back, with a picturesque posture, but at this moment, four backs turned into three irons.
"Bang!" Marvin Williams took the backcourt rebound and passed to Nguyen Er Niu, who dribbled directly across the half court, and an accelerated break past Radmanovic who tried to stop him, and the Bosnian was taken by one step.
Ruan Erniu used a beautiful European step to put the ball into the basket with ease and chic.
The scores of the two teams were once again closer to within 10 points.
Phil Jackson didn't wait for the score to be caught up further and called another timeout.
In addition to the defense that must be reminded, he said directly to Kobe: "Trust your teammates, you can't solve all the problems alone, understand?"
At the end of the timeout, the Lakers really adjusted their attack, and the ball went to Gasol's hands, but the Lakers generals who were used to being controlled by Kobe Bryant couldn't find their feelings.
Under the continuous iron, the Hawks further narrowed the score gap.
Kobe Bryant is gone, and at this time, he wants to save the planet alone.
At this moment, he is Bumpman, he is Pegasus.
However, most of Pegasus's meteor punches are false moves, and the real real moves are only one or two hits, which is not much different from Kobe's shooting.
Again and again, the Eagles counterattacked again and again.
As the Hawks switched to a small-ball lineup and accelerated further, the Hawks quickly overtook the score, and there was a tendency to pull the score apart.
Phil Jackson had no choice but to replace Kobe, Gasol and others who had a bad hand, and let the Lakers' bench deal with him.
It's a pity that the Lakers bench also couldn't stop the hot Hawks attack group.
Ruan Erniu didn't mean to be soft at all in the face of the Lakers' bench.
Jordan Famar missed a shot, and after Nguyen Erniu grabbed the backcourt rebound, he immediately dribbled the ball into the Lakers half.
In the Lakers' restricted area, Odom and Turyaf were in the middle of it.
Ruan Erniu accelerated, jumped one step inside the free throw line, and the flat basket flew to the highest point.
"Bang!" There was a fierce contact between the three in the air, and in the end, Ruan Erniu, who was still in a state of shock, knocked the two defenders out with terrifying acceleration, and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Toot!" Javi blew the whistle and delivered a wonderful 2+1.
Ruan Erniu hammered his left chest with his right hand, then hammered his right chest with his left hand, and then let out a wild roar to suppress the audience.
In the face of the Los Angeles son, the boos of the Lakers fans are really not neat enough, and the shrewd boos and tickles are not much different.
Erniu hit a free throw and scored three points in a single round.
All of this is a note to the third quarter, when the Lakers were going through a collapse under the Hawks' frenzied attack, and their huge lead of 21 points in the first quarter was wiped out.
It's not something that can be solved with one or two timeouts, their mentality is already out of balance.
The young Hawks are more of a championship team than the seasoned Lakers because they are more determined and never give up.
At 31:15, the Hawks won by 16 points in the third quarter and successfully overtook the score.
At the end of the third quarter, 77:73, the Hawks ended the first three quarters with a four-point advantage.
The story of trailing by 21 points in the first quarter is almost a century for the Hawks.
They did not show the pride and indulgence peculiar to young people, and even if the wind blew and blew, they only thought about the victory in their hearts.
On the contrary, the Lakers' bench entered the state of all beings in advance.
They couldn't believe the fact at all, from leading by 21 points, to trailing by 4 points, they fell from heaven to hell, and just half an hour ago, they felt that G4 was nine out of ten, and they would decide the ownership of Tianwang Mountain in G5 and the Eagles.
But at this moment, the harsh reality told them that the Eagles were about to get match point, and they were just a bunch of losers who couldn't win the game with a 21-point advantage.
Phil Jackson was so angry that he didn't want to speak, but he finally chose to vent the Lakers players angrily, and it was up to them whether they could wake up or not.
As for tactics?
This has never been Phil Jackson's forte, he is only responsible for adjusting the mentality of the supergiants to the best state and giving them the most comfortable space to play singles, if they can't win in this way, it only proves that the supergiants in the team are not enough.
The so-called triangular offense, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, has only one core idea: singles are reasonable, and supergiants are kings!
Kobe Bryant was the first person in the league to push, but Kraft Nguyen, a brutal Celestial Empireman, has never defied all the rules, and he has always been able to conquer others with phenomenal performances.
After three quarters of the game, Erniu scored a total of 34 points, 18 rebounds, and 3 assists, and now that another 40+20 data is about to arrive, O'Neal's historical status in the finals is about to be shaken.
A first-year rookie is likely to break his record in back-to-back rookie seasons, and I wonder how the big shark sitting in front of the TV feels?
There are talented people in the country, and they have been leading the way for more than ten years.
On the one hand, Magic Johnson on the sidelines was disappointed with the Lakers' performance, and on the other hand, he had to admit: "It's the time for Kraft Nguyen!"
