On June 15, 2008, it was still the Staples Center, and it was the Lakers' last home court of the season. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If the Lakers lose the upcoming G5, then they will see the Hawks rise to the championship.

Bryant made a winning declaration before the game: "We're going to Atlanta, the Lakers won't lose three games in a row at Staples." ”

The Hawks, who won two consecutive away wins, were relatively low-key, Ruan Erniu simply refused to be interviewed, and Yu Sen only said that the Hawks would definitely win the championship.

Judging from the momentum before the game alone, the Lakers are obviously more dominant.

There is nothing surprising about the Lakers' starting lineup, and the Hawks' starting lineup is the focus of media attention.

In the past three days, various sports media have broken their hearts for the Atlantans, and they have put out various starting lists, which can be regarded as offering (blind) () (engagement) (engagement) (8) strategy (engagement) for the Hawks.

The truth was finally revealed 15 minutes before the start of the game.

The Hawks still put Assilaw in the starting position.

Coupled with Ruan Erniu, on the stage of the finals, there were actually two first-year players on the Hawks side.

Such a bold arrangement is almost impossible to replicate in modern basketball.

In fact, the Hawks can't help it, except for Assi Law, they really can't find a suitable person to replace Mike Bibby.

The game started, and the Lakers seemed to have expected the Hawks to send Assi Rao as the starting No. 1 spot.

As a result, Fisher, who averaged less than 10.8 points per game in the first four games, scored 10 points in the first quarter of the game.

In the first quarter of the game, Assilao, who had just been started, was blown up.

The once-weak No. 1 issue seems like a last century to the Eagles.

But with Bibby's injury, this cruel fact was once again put on the table.

Kobe Bryant also played quite smart in the first quarter of the game, facing Embarrassment's excellent single defense and the Hawks' still tenacious joint defense, he did not insist on dominating too many shots in the first quarter.

The first quarter ended, at 22:28, the Lakers won by 6 points to end the first quarter.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Erniu focused more on the offensive end, but he was the strongest defense and bag since the start of the finals today.

Like Kobe, once Erniu gets to the ball in the low post, almost in a second, he will be caught by two or three people.

Especially Fisher and Famar in the No. 1 position, they almost put Assilao to shoot, but also to lock up Nguyen Er Niu's offensive space on the inside.

Being defended by two people, looking for opportunities to shoot, that is called the courage of the artist, being surrounded by three people, not passing the ball, seeking opportunities to shoot in the open space, it can only be a cancer of the team.

Even Kobe Bryant may not choose to force his shot, let alone Erniu.

Nguyen Er Niu passed the ball to Assi Lao in the open space almost immediately.

Assi was indeed a little too tender, and he hesitated a little and had lost his shooting rhythm.

Just listen to the "bang", and the rookie point guard's open shot is iron.

After the Lakers grabbed the rebound, they immediately went on a counterattack.

In this game, the Hawks' retreat also had a big problem, and the original defensive method with clear rights and responsibilities became scattered because of the lack of familiar Bibi to cooperate.

The Hawks play a joint defense, and the most taboo thing is the lack of tacit understanding between the defenders.

Bryant got smarter and smarter in this game, and he quickly noticed the Hawks' holes on the defensive end, so he shot inside and out, scoring consecutive points to widen the gap between the two teams.

Erniu struggled to support on the inside, dragging down the pace of the Lakers, at least in the protection of rebounding, Erniu's existence can still restrain the Lakers' counterattack wave to a large extent.

Embarrassment was forced to be helpless and had to reach the No. 1 position, which is also one of the usual routines of the Hawks.

The Hawks have improved a little on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Kobe, who has gained more free space, has entered the killing mode at once.

Throughout the second quarter, Bryant made 6 of 8 shots and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. led the Lakers to 21:32 in the first quarter and ended the first half with an 11-point net win over the Hawks.

At 43:60, the Hawks trailed the Lakers by a huge margin of 17 points.

Unlike the previous game, there is no hope ahead for the Eagles.

In the G4 game, the Hawks generals, inspired by Woodson, firmly believed that the joint defense could finally defeat the opponent.

In the end, Atlantans really did.

Even if they were in G4, they trailed their opponents by 21 points in the first quarter.

But today, it was clear that the difference between the two quarters of the game was not more than 20 points, but the Hawks had only the ability to parry and had no power to fight back.

In the Eagles' locker room, Woodson even considered giving up G5 early at one point, but Ruan Erniu stopped him.

Erniu said: "Mike, it's easy to admit defeat, but if we lose confidence, we really have nothing! To be honest, even if MB can come back in G7, what if he can come? Who can guarantee that he will recover from his foot injury?

……

Since no one can make a guarantee, we must rely on our own strength to solve the problem. ”

Erniu's words still made Egghead give up the idea of admitting defeat in G5.

In the second half of the game, Erniu and Lunar Eclipse teamed up to make a move, once chasing the score to within 5 points, but the Lakers continued to take advantage of the huge loopholes in the Hawks' No. 1 position to score points in a row.

Once Embarrassment was added to the No. 1 position, Kobe Bryant immediately entered the offensive state, and the Lakers took advantage of the backcourt advantage in this game to almost hang the Hawks from head to tail.

At the end of the third quarter, 74:91, the Lakers still continued to lead the Hawks by 17 points.

In the last quarter of the game, Erniu and Lunar Eclipse staged an inside assault again, and the score of the two teams was once again pulled closer to within 5 points, 95:99, which was the score of the two teams 3 minutes before the end.

In the last moments, Kobe Bryant stepped up.

As the well-deserved leader of the Lakers, in the last 3 minutes of the game, he scored 10 points in a row by himself, which can be regarded as the finishing work for this game.

In the whole game, Kobe Bryant shot 11 of 20, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws, scored 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, and finally led the Lakers to a 105-112 victory over the Atlanta Hawks and successfully won the life-and-death G5.

He successfully carried the Lakers' championship hopes to Atlanta.

With one more win, both teams will be back on the same page.

At that point, the Eagles' psychological advantage will translate into a huge psychological disadvantage.

Young players are the most prone to collapse in unfavorable situations, and before the start of G5, Atlantan, who are in a good situation, seem to be in the most dangerous state all of a sudden.

They were already the best candidates for the championship, but with Mike Bibby's injury, after the G5 fight, public opinion suddenly reversed.

Many people are optimistic that the Lakers can finally turn the tables, and the Hawks will become the first team in history to be reversed with a 3-1 lead in the Finals.

The Hawks returned to Atlanta overnight, and on the plane, Mike Bibby said that he would play in G5 even if it was closed.

Mike Bibby is gambling on his career.

This is a hard-won opportunity for Biby, who failed to win the Western Conference championship with the Kings, but when he arrives in Atlanta, he has the opportunity to fight for the O'Brien Cup.

You know, Bibby is not young, coupled with injuries, for a veteran, the chance of winning the championship is too rare.

"I don't agree!" said from the side of the cabin.
