Chapter 103: Rockets Can Fish
Lamar and Shaq were originally talented players, and the two played a beautiful combination at this time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoYou have to know whether there are two inside All-Stars, or two players inside and one outside! How terrible it will be to play a wonderful match! Shaq's strong attack, Lamar's breakthrough, and the strategy of the ball, all of this combined to produce a word, and that word is invincible!
At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers took a double-digit lead at the Rockets' home court at 58-43, Lamar and Shaq combined to score 32 points, and Kobe Bryant scored only six points. And Steve's cooperation with Olajuwon only scored 13 points!
"It's a pity that Shaq is a bit older now, otherwise the combination of Shaq and Lamar inside will dominate the league for the next ten years!" Hawley said as he shook his head and said to his teammates. He was glad that he was able to be teammates with them, and of course he understood the combat power that a good combination can produce.
"Why rule for ten years! We can rule the league for three years, as long as we can create a three-in-a-row feat in the next three years, then let whoever wants to rule for the remaining seven years. Lamar would have thought so shamelessly if he had heard Hawley's words.
Shaq and Kobe Bryant stepped forward to pat Lamar on the shoulder and laughed, now that Houston was no longer on their radar, the Rockets' elimination fate was already decided when the playoff schedule appeared at the end of the season. Except for the Trail Blazers, it is estimated that no team in the West can stop the Lakers' progress now, and even the Trail Blazers are not sure that we are better than the Lakers.
The halftime break was in the locker room, and Lamar pulled out his cell phone, which had been dialed by Kim Pull.
He dialed back, and as soon as he dialed up, he heard Kim Kardashian's hoarse and sexy voice: "Lamar, I saw your game, you really did a good job, that open dunk between you and Kobe Bryant was really amazing, those guys in our bar were stunned!"
"Kim, have you and Kohler decided? Why don't you take a leave of absence to play with me in the playoffs, you know I need your support! Come on, I'll grab the O'Brien Cup as a gift for you!" Lamar said affectionately.
Jin Jiao laughed and said, "This is very difficult, you know, so we haven't made a decision yet! But I promise you. I'll surprise you, okay?"
Lamar hung up his phone stupidly, Phil is going to arrange tactics, and the game is not over yet!
The Rockets still have hope of turning the tables in theory, think of the NBA slogan, "Where miracles are born!" Although the Rockets are the least likely team to play against the wind, they are still not to be careless.
Phil took out the tactical board and hastily made a tactical arrangement, and arranged: "Langley, next you replace Shaq on the court, Lu, you replace Billups on the court, and Brian Shaw you replace Kobe." When the second half starts, you can play with confidence and don't be afraid of losing points, you know?"
Bryan Shaw, Tyrone Lue, and Langley all had excited expressions on their faces, and Lamar smiled, he knew what Phil was planning, and he was using the Rockets to practice and get the team's bench players to adapt to the playoffs as soon as possible, so as to help the team as soon as possible.
At the beginning of the second half, Olajuwon and Steve were still on the field, this is their home stadium, and they don't want to admit defeat so easily! Even if they do lose, then they have to fight until the last second, for the simple reason that this is the Toyota Center, which is their turf.
Lamar is still on the court, someone has to organize the game, with the still very young Tyrone Lue obviously can't organize the team just in an orderly manner, even Chauncey is still a little lacking in heat! If Lamar is down, the Lakers' offense will not be able to put any defensive pressure on the Rockets.
'Tyrone Lue's defensive awareness needs to be strengthened, and he has to keep an eye out for changes in the defensive tactics of his opponents and his team-mates. Shaq said.
Kobe Bryant was lying on the seat with a towel draped, and he smiled at Shaq's words, "You know, strictly speaking, Lue is just a rookie now, he's not a pervert like Lamar! He can be a good player. ”
"He has that confidence and determination. But the talent is still a bit insufficient!, but the understanding of tactics is not bad, and he may be a good coach!" Hawley affirmed, since the start of the regular season, Lu Ke has been learning shooting with him for two months, and he has seen Lu's hard work and talent.
Shaq watched the game on the court for a while, and although the Rockets now have a stronger roster on the court, the Lakers players are not bad either, and these people have not lost their offensive rhythm under Lamar's threading needle, and still maintain a very effective and fast offense.
As long as Lamar is on the court, the Lakers have nothing to worry about, Shaw turned his head and asked Lamar: "Lamar, I heard that you are going to participate in the national team this time?
Lamar actually didn't want to go at all, to help the U.S. men's basketball team, so what's the point? The season has been going on for so long, and I'm physically and mentally tired, and I really want to have a good rest!
Every time the dream team is burdened with the glory of American basketball, and this time the American team is a bit dangerous, according to the memory of his previous life, in the semifinals, the American team was forced to the edge of the cliff by Lithuania, and his little butterfly does not know what kind of impact it will bring out. If you win, you can say that everyone is happy! If you lose, it will be miserable, and it will inevitably kick off the fall of the American team!
But it's up to you to say it, and Jeff strongly encourages himself to participate! After all, this is an opportunity to increase his global influence, and the advertising spokesperson has high expectations for Lamar!
"I think I'm going to go, what are you going to do in the summer, let's go to Australia, it's a beautiful country, you should go and see what kangaroo country is like!" Lamar said with a smile.
Billups said happily, "I'll go, Lamar, and you'll have a treat if we meet there." ”
Upon hearing this, Ramon Murray was reluctant. He pushed Billups and said dissatisfiedly, "Man, are you dizzy? You're just blackmail, you won't see Lamar when you go to the game?"
Lamar and Langley and the others laughed. Lang Li pointed to his face and said with a smile: "Guys, don't fight with anyone! I'm the host, I'll be the guide when the time comes." ”
Lamar knows that the gold medalist in the basketball competition of this Olympic Games will be the United States team, and the spokesperson of the sports department of the American team has already told the outside world that the NBA will form a team of stars to participate in the Olympic Games, so that those European basketball giants who think they have risen can know the horror of the world's top teams.
According to Lamar's memory, it seems that the United States, Russia, Lithuania, and France will be the final four finalists in the Olympic basketball tournament, and he is now not sure whether it will be the final meeting between the United States and France, and whether it will be the powerful American team that will win the gold medal even better! After all, no one dares to underestimate the butterfly effect, who knows what unpredictable things will happen to Lamar's appearance, Lamar was not invited to join the American team in his previous life!
Although Lang Li and others fought the court, the score was still slowly chased by the Rockets, and by the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were 68-72, only four points behind! This was the end of Haber who shot a three-pointer at the buzzer, otherwise the two teams should only be separated by one point now.
Kobe and Shaq are on the court again, so there is basically no suspense, Olajuwon and Steve have been fighting for 33 minutes in a row, Steve is okay, after all, he is young and strong, but Olajuwon can't bear it! Playing three games in a row in six days, their physical strength has been overdrawn, not to mention that the two of them basically have no rest in this game! When Kobe and Shaq came on the court, the Lakers immediately defeated the Rockets with strong vitality.
At this point, the Rockets have basically lost hope of advancing and are ready to go home fishing!
But the Rockets aren't going to just throw in the towel. It's still that reason, this is Houston, it's the territory of the Houstonians, they can't just be insulted by their opponents! But the difference in strength is not something that will be able to make up, when the game is over, Steve dragged his tired body to sit on the floor, he covered his face with a towel, and the fans around him clearly saw the tears that flashed down.
Olajuwon walked over and hugged Steve's body. The two men who had never cried out in pain even if they broke their heads and bleeds on the court, shed tears together. They became the first team to be swept this season, and this is Olajuwon's 16th season in his stay, but he has tasted this kind of elimination, and no one wants their season's hard work to be wiped out.
Lamar glanced at Olajuwon and Steve, and resisted the urge to step forward to comfort the two of them! He shook his head and walked out of the basketball arena with the rest of the Lakers, the NBA doesn't believe in tears, there are no weak people in the NBA! This is the battlefield, comfort is mockery, only tough guys and strong people can survive on this stage.
"Are you feeling bad?" Shaq asked, looking at Lamar's depressed face. Of course, he could guess the reason for Lamar's expression.
Lamar snorted and said, "That's true, Big Dream and Steve are great players, they should have gone further, but now they are eliminated by us like this!" (To be continued.) )
