Chapter 22: The Big Guy You Can Rely on Shake
"Haha! too!" Shaq thought about Paris's style and immediately understood what Lamar meant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info (I wonder if Shaq has understood the meaning of Lamar's words?)
The game continued to start, Lamar continued his brave performance on the court, but the score between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers still did not open, relying on the inside and outside shots of the flying squirrel and Smith, the Trail Blazers are now only 5 points behind the Lakers.
"It's useless to be alone, Lamar!" Pippen said to Lamar with a sneer, which is the realization of Pippen's basketball career in the past ten years. In the two years when he lost Jordan to lead the team alone, he always hoped that he could lead the Bulls to the same results as before, just like that person, but in the end, Pippen found that even though he was already one of the best people in the league, he was still isolated in the playoffs and could not lead the team further!
Lamar ran out of the three-point line to get the ball, he ignored Pippen's words (do you still use your own experience in the NBA for more than ten years in the future?), just controlled the ball and watched Grant, who was defending himself, Grant bent down and opened his arms, he didn't want to be broken by Lamar again!
Lamar doesn't want to break through this guy again this time, and even pigs will react to the same tactic all the time. Lamar knows this guy's shortcomings very well, after the ball is close to the free throw line, he turns sideways against Grant, and begins to use his strength to hit Grant's chest quickly and forcefully like a piledriver! Grant gritted his teeth, but he still couldn't stop Lamar's advancing body, which was the little flying squirrel when he saw this and took advantage of Lamar to slap the ball on the floor again, and pounced suddenly, trying to break the ball, but Lamar had already guarded against this.
Lamar lowered his head and grabbed the ball, and then with a big wave of his hand, the basketball was passed by Lamar to Chauncey, who was already unguarded.
After this period of running-in, Chauncy and Lamar's cooperation is also a lot of tacit understanding, when the flying squirrel gave up his own defense, he chose to believe Lamar, and began to run in the opposite direction to the three-point line, sure enough, opportunities are always given to those who are prepared!
As soon as he got to the three-point line, Lamar's pass arrived. Chauncey didn't hesitate to get the ball, and quickly jumped up and threw the ball. The basketball drilled into the basket with a beautiful arc. Chauncy did not know how many times he practiced this shooting in private, and Chauncy raised his arm to Lamarbi in a three-point gesture.
Lamar happily began to defend and deliberately waved his sweat a little as he passed Pippen: "A person? Who told you that I am a man on this team?
"Rookie, don't be arrogant!" Pippen said for tat, who was not good-tempered.
"Rookie, what's wrong with the rookie? Old bird, aren't you coming from a rookie? You're really a monster!" Lamar said with a bit of yin and yang: "The rookie is called vigorous, and there is a good saying that heroes come out of youth! What about old birds? The old man is in the twilight, and it is better to take care of his old age!"
Pippen was irritated by Lamar, and with a blushing face, he decided not to fight with this guy anymore. (Lamar's trash talk level is not a cow's don't want it, it's just life and death, human flesh and bones!Lao Tzu was reborn, trash talk is not a perfect practice in the previous life!)
Grant ran from the baseline to near the halfline to make a block for the flying squirrel, the flying squirrel used his speed to easily shake off Lamar who came over to change the defense, Hawley saw this and immediately stepped forward to delay the flying squirrel, and at this time, Pippen, who saw the opportunity, immediately inserted horizontally into the inner line, the flying squirrel's wrist flicked, and Pippen caught the ball and hit a layup.
Lamar reached for the ball again after half-time, and Chauncey also passed it to him quickly. For this tactic, the Lakers players have not played one or two games, and they are very familiar with each other.
Lamar, with the ball in hand, once again made Grant, who was defending him, nervous. Lamar held Grant with his hand and looked at Grant with a slight smile.
Seeing this, Grant thought that Lamar was about to break through himself again, and hurriedly took half a step back, and with this half-step space, Lamar chose to pull directly outside the three-point line.
"Wow! What a beautiful shot, it seems that Grant is helpless against Lamar!" "Yes, I knew Lamar was not easy!" Barkley and Smith, who were commentators on the scene, began to quarrel again.
"What a horrible guy, is this guy really a rookie?" Grant began to mutter.
The flying squirrel once again took advantage of his teammate's block to shake off Chauncey and threw the ball after rushing inside. Turning around, Lamar singled Grant again.
With Lamar's efforts, the Lakers showed another style of powerful firepower while Shaq was resting. Although Chauncy is not as fast as the flying squirrel, he is much stronger, and uses his strength advantage to eat the flying squirrel several times, tearing apart the defense of the Pioneers from the other side. Influenced by Lamar and Chauncey, Hawley and Haber also got a number of good open opportunities on the outside.
The only pity is that the Lakers themselves are still beginning to take shape due to their small lineup, and they also failed to prevent the Trail Blazers' offense, not to mention Pippen and Flying Squirrel, even Steve Smith alone feels hot on the outside, and Haber can't prevent his shooting at all.
As the game continued, the old saying of the Trail Blazers lineup began to emerge, because the Lakers' small-ball tactics played quickly, the Trail Blazers' physical strength was also quickly consumed under the rapid rotation. With Lamar's performance at the first level, Shaq returned to the court full of blood and began to show his sharp fangs, and the Lakers played with momentum and directly beat the Trail Blazers to an 8:2!
At halftime, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers by six points, 56:50.
At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Lakers played with the strongest lineup, and the effect was still obvious, as the game progressed, the role of Rasheed Wallace began to be reflected! In the face of the energetic Shaq, the aging Sabonis could only rely on his own experience to defend, but with the serious decline in physical strength, the defense was becoming more and more inadequate. In desperation, the Trail Blazers had no choice but to replace Sabonis, who was physically exhausted, and due to the lack of the interior line, they had to leave Grant alone to defend Shaq and Lamar of the Lakers on the inside!
The Trail Blazers began to do nothing on the inside, not to mention the interior offense, and the interior defense was torn apart by Shaq and Lamar. Rebounding basically said goodbye to the Trail Blazers.
This can't be done, the Trail Blazers will definitely lose if it goes on like this! The head coach of the Trail Blazers had to call a timeout when he saw the form on the court.
"Let me play!" Sabonis looked at the anxious manager and took the initiative to speak. After speaking, Sabonis began to take off his insulated clothes, "Coach, make sure to change it, otherwise there will be no suspense in the game!"
The rest of the Trail Blazers players looked at Sabonis with a resolute face, and they were also full of admiration for this veteran and spiritual leader!
"Your physical strength, you know, you're not too young, and it's easy to get injured if you go to a fierce game like this!" Although the head coach admired Sabonis's behavior, he frowned and didn't quite agree with his opinion.
Sabonis didn't speak, just looked at the manager with all seriousness. Taking advantage of Shaq's free throws, the Trail Blazers still replaced Sabonis, who insisted on playing.
"Shaq, that old guy is coming up! is he going to die?" Lamar was also surprised to see Sabonis playing.
"Lamar, leave those things alone! we must win tonight and kill them!" Shaq yelled at his teammates at the end. Tonight, Shaq was also holding back a breath of anger in his heart, Sabonis used his height and experience to make a lot of trouble for Shaq.
Lamar stepped forward and patted Shaq on the shoulder, and then was given goosebumps by the cheering sound from the bench!
"Lamar, come on, you're my man from today on!" Paris cheered Lamar loudly, ignoring the gazes around him.
"Lamar I love you!"
Seeing Lamar constantly rubbing his body with his hands on the field, the fans also let out a good-natured laugh.
Shaq hit two free throws (an absolute miracle!) and continued to pull the score away for the Lakers.
"Lamar, I'll let those guys know the horror of the prehistoric giant shark!" Shaq whispered to Lamar, unlike before, although Shaq's voice was not loud tonight, but it revealed a strong killing intent! Lamar smiled, he was happy to see this prehistoric beast at its peak when it was at full strength.
The Trail Blazers missed a three-point shot. Shaq grabbed the rebound and passed to Lamar, who was answering.
Lamar possessed the ball past half court, and without waiting for Grant to step forward to defend, he made a base pass and handed the ball to Shaq on the inside. Shaq grabbed the ball with one hand, looked at the situation around him, and when everyone was out of position, he forced a forced arch of Sabonis to let go of the basket. Lamar looked at the score on the scoreboard 86:77, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, turned around and waved his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the Lakers~~~ will win!"
"Victory!" yelled both on the bench and on the field. Murray began to defend Pippen again, Pippen did two changes of direction in a row this time and did not shake off Murray, so he had to pass the ball to the receiving flying squirrel! The flying squirrel used the advantage of his speed to shake off Chauncy again, rushed into the vicinity of the penalty area and threw his hand high again, Lamar rushed over on the flank, jumped up when he saw the flying squirrel's shot, and slapped the ball out!
