"It's not that easy!" Lamar took a big step forward and rushed forward, with one foot exerting force, and jumped up to the block. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing that Lamar's hand was about to cover the ball, at this time, Stoudemire unhurriedly flicked the ball, and the ball accurately reached Steve Smith's hand! Steve Smith did not stop for a moment after receiving the ball, and immediately turned it to Scott Pippen outside the three-point line.

Scott Pippen didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, and the old Batman finally got a chance to perform after being depressed for almost the whole game, and he raised his hand to make a three-pointer!

The hearts of all the fans in the entire Staples Center arena were touched by the basketball thrown by Scott Pippen.

As long as this ball does not go in, then the fate of the Portland Trail Blazers in this game can basically be determined, and the difference of 10 points is a huge gap for a game with only 39 seconds left!

The fans of Los Angeles are silently praying in their hearts that this goal will not be scored.

"Bang!"

Maybe it was really the prayer that worked, and the ball didn't go in, but bounced off the neck of the basket.

Scott Pippen couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't grasp such a good opportunity to shoot in the open space, at the moment he was still holding his hands high, maintaining the shooting action, and there was a trace of loss in his eyes.

On the sidelines, McDonleavy was already ready to celebrate, he felt that if this goal went to the Trail Blazers, there would still be a chance! But as soon as he raised his right hand, there was the sound of the basketball hitting the basket, and the celebration of raising his right hand instantly turned into regret.

"Rebounding!"

While the others were still basking in the disappointment and surprise of the goal, Lamar and Stoudemire were the first to react, loudly reminding their teammates.

Suddenly everyone had their eyes on the basket, and at this point Shaq and Lamar were both pulled to the perimeter. There is no way to grab a rebound, and the ones who have the best chance to grab a rebound are Rasheed Wallace and Chris Anderson, who are wrestling under the basket!

"Bang!"

Just when people's attention was focused on the two men in the basket, the mutation suddenly occurred beyond everyone's expectations!

Steve Smith, who is not very good in height and bounce, was born like a god, and grabbing the basketball with both hands is a dunk!

The basketball was poured into the hoop by him without any suspense.

The Los Angeles fans who were still rejoicing that Scott Pippen had missed the must-score goal and the outcome of the game was decided were now disappointed, and their faces could not hide their disappointment, while the opponent rekindled their hopes of winning, although this hope was a bit slim.

In this short period of a second or two, both sides experienced the feeling of joy and sorrow.

Forced to helplessly, Phil Jackson asked for a timeout again, and when there were 38 seconds left in the clock, the opponent chased the score to 8 points, and now the Lakers urgently need to stabilize their emotions! At the same time, in the remaining time, the Trail Blazers will definitely adopt foul tactics, and they have to replace Shaq who is super bad at free throws!

Lamar looked up at the time again, took the towel that was handed to him, and wiped the sweat from his face. He is now feeling extremely tired, the chain reaction of Kobe's absence has come out, and no one can share the pressure of the team's outside offense and defense with him, and the burden of the outside line is all on him at once. Although Chauncey Billups did a good job, he was still a lot worse than Kobe Bryant after all, and he didn't help very much.

"What a tough opponent!"

Lamar looked at the opponent's side and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, everyone in the Trail Blazers can stand up and contribute to the team at critical moments in the game, and Steve Smith, who has been silent in the previous game, has just been able to appear so appropriately on the personal position that needs him the most.

"Lamar, delay as long as you can. ”

Phil Jackson's words made Lamar end his wandering, and he nodded solemnly as he looked at the coach.

"No problem!"

Phil Jackson nodded and continued: "Okay, Chauncey, Shaw, you wait here to contain Lamar, Lamar, you take the time, if you really can't do it, throw the undefended players on the net!"

Phil Jackson quickly made a tactical arrangement, and when Phil Jackson simply emphasized his thoughts to the players again, the timeout was also up, and the players from both sides returned to the court.

At this time, the entire Staples Center arena fans stood up, and as soon as Lamar received the ball, the basketball fans in Los Angeles cheered enthusiastically, hoping to pass on their power to Lamar.

In the face of Scott Pippen's foul, Lamar quickly dribbled away.

I saw Lamar make a seemingly strange step, moving with his left foot and leaning on his right foot, but when he landed on his right foot, his right shoulder suddenly shook to the right! Just when Scott Pippen was about to touch him, Lamar strode to the left and cut horizontally!

"Beautiful!"

Although he saw that his proud disciple was deceived by Lamar's actions, McDonleavy on the sidelines still had to admire Lamar in his heart, this feigned right cut action was really the essence of this trick.

Seeing that Scott Pippen was about to catch up with his foul again, Lamar had no way to dodge at this time and had to throw the ball in the direction of Billups.

Chauncy was fouled by a flying squirrel and hit both free throws!

There are 23 seconds left! The Trail Blazers have no timeout, and this little time is not enough for them to attack, what can they do?

With Lamar hitting both free throws again, the Lakers' bench erupted in wild cheers, and no one could hear what the cheers were all about. However, as everyone knows, the vast majority of these cheers were given to the absolute heroes of the game, Shaq, Lamar and Chauncey.

The Lakers' players, both the main team and the bench, rushed to Lamar, and they threw the rookie core into the sky again and again.

Even Phil Jackson, the head coach who has always been known for his calmness, couldn't hide his joy, clasped his hands together, and kept doing the movements of the Buddha's estimation.

Looking at the excited Lakers players, most of the Trail Blazers players couldn't hide their disappointment, and walked towards the players' tunnel one by one, while Scott Pippen was stuck in his waist, looking at Lamar who was thrown into the air again and again, and after a while, he walked towards the players' tunnel.

In Pippen's heart, he really hates defeat, today is completely his own responsibility, if he can limit Lamar well in the previous game, and don't give Lamar so many opportunities to break through, maybe it should be himself who celebrates now.

When he walked into the players' tunnel, the Los Angeles fans behind him collectively let out a huge cheer, this sound was like a sharp knife pierced Pippen's heart, maybe he is really old, this should be a sport for young people.

In fact, Pippen did well enough in this game, even Jordan would not have done better than him at his age, but in the end, his team still lost, and he still felt very self-blaming.

"Scott! You don't have to blame yourself, we just lost in luck today, I think even if you give Lamar another hundred chances like this, he may not be able to face your defense so easily! Even if the Lakers' home court loses, we are not afraid, just return to Portland and find the court!" McDonleavy seemed to know that Scott would be like this, and tried to squeeze out a smile to comfort his disciple, he didn't want a loss to let Pippen, a veteran, affect the next game because of excessive self-blame.

Hearing McDonleavy's comforting words, Pippen didn't feel any better, and in his heart he had already taken all the responsibility for the loss on himself, silently walked to the side of his cabinet, and began to tidy up his clothes without a sound.

"Okay, okay, it's just a loss, don't be discouraged, go for a walk, take a shower! Then go home and get a good night's sleep, we have another game the day after tomorrow! "The old guy Sabonis was the first to speak, originally Pippen should be the most qualified to say these words on the team, but obviously he is not in this mood today, anyone who is beaten up in the game will not be in a good mood! At this time, the most vocal person left in the locker room is the veteran Sabonis, and sometimes, it is still up to an old player like him to do the work.

Losing the game that should have been won has reduced the confidence of the entire Trail Blazers.

This game also made more people realize that even if Kobe Bryant is not there, the current Lakers led by Shaq and Lamar are still a top team in the league!

Lamar was named the best player of the game after the game, and his performance in the game was undoubtedly the biggest concern, except for the magical dribble at the end to stun Pippen, the big triple-double of 32 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists alone left all point guards in the dust!

People were surprised to find that this guy who was not outstanding in appearance and did not have the slightest star temperament has now become the mainstay of a championship team.

At the post-game press conference, Phil Jackson originally didn't want Lamar to go, he knew that his disciple was not good at handling the relationship with the media, and the media was destined to not let him go today.

But Lamar rejected Phil Jackson's kindness and insisted on going, he didn't want to run away from anything, he also had ambitions, Lamar knew that if he wanted to be the undisputed leader of a team, dealing with the media was essential, and he also wanted to go ahead now.

"Lamar! The Trail Blazers were ready to win today's game, but because of your excellent play, the Lakers took the advantage of the game at halftime, and for the final victory, do you have anything to say to the disappointed Trail Blazers?" (To be continued.) )
