It's a pity that Lamar didn't let Kobe's unrealistic idea stay in his head for too long.

When the Knicks attacked again, Lamar regained the lead with another long-range three-pointer.

Billups passed the ball to Darmshoe, who hit it with his back to the basket, drawing the attention of the Lakers' defense and quickly distributing the ball to Lamar.

After Lamar received the ball, in the face of Karl Malone's strict defense, first a fake breakthrough deceived old postman took a step back, and then Lamar took a step back and hit a three-point shot easily.

Lamar looked very relaxed after the goal.

The Knicks have three match points in hand, and the championship dream is about to come true. I'm afraid that when Jordan faced such a situation for the first time, he would inevitably be a little nervous in his heart, but Lamar was different. People who have been reborn once can certainly remain calm and calm enough.

"Lamar doesn't look like a young man at all, he's only 24 years old. But he gave me the feeling of an old man, who had already seen through everything in the world, and his heart was like water. Even in this big scene now, this guy doesn't look nervous at all. ”

"Look, look, this guy is just enjoying the game right now. And it's still a slow enjoyment! It looks like the Knicks aren't in a hurry to finish off their opponents tonight. ”

"Lamar like this is terrible! To be his opponent, even if you put in enough effort, unfortunately in the end you can only end up empty-handed. Because Lamar only needs a slight force to finish off all opponents. ”

"It seems that the opening of the big Knicks era is inevitable, and I have to say that it is a sad thing to live in the same era as such a player!"

Bill Wharton read an elegy to all the NBA players except Lamar and his teammates from the commentary box. But on the court, Kobe Bryant still refused to admit defeat, and when it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Kobe Bryant chose to break through this time.

Battier still defended Kobe Bryant as usual, and the prepared Batman reacted very quickly in the face of Kobe's assault. As soon as Kobe Bryant wiped past him, he chased after him and kept threatening Kobe at all times.

"Smack!"

Just as Bryant was holding the ball up, Lamar suddenly hit from the diagonal side. Then Lamar slapped the basketball directly from Kobe's hand with a heavy blow, and by the way, Kobe Bryant, who had lost his center, fell to the ground.

Billups quickly got the ball in his hands and immediately launched a fast attack. After back-to-back passes with Wade, Billups scored on a layup.

When the Lakers attacked again, the stubborn Kobe Bryant still chose to go it alone. His abilities are indeed excellent, but now he is still unaware of the fact that he is stuck in the alley thinking that he has built.

Especially after Lamar achieved an all-round overwhelming advantage, the resentment in Kobe's heart has made him gradually lose his cool, and he only knows how to do it alone.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant was going crazy again and ignoring his tactics, Jackson also frowned. But there is nothing he can do at this time, after all, if he wants to make his second coaching career with the Lakers look less embarrassing, he will have to rely on Kobe.

At this time, if a timeout is called, the only thing that can be done is to replace Kobe Bryant, which is likely to lead to a repeat of the tragedy of the previous game, in which case the gain outweighs the loss.

Kobe Bryant was really ruthless this time, and he rushed to the Knicks' half with the ball from the backcourt. In the face of Battier's defense, Kobe Bryant didn't have any idea of slowing down, and just rushed straight towards the Knicks' basket.

Seeing this, Lamar could only put aside Malone and return to the basket and assist Battier as much as possible.

But Kobe Bryant was very stubborn, even if he was squeezed by Battier several times and was about to lose his balance, he just refused to admit defeat.

In the end, when the two of them were entangled to the basket, although Kobe Bryant was still carrying the ball, he was already stumbling, and he used his hands to support the ground several times to avoid the embarrassment of falling.

"Huh!"

Even in such a difficult situation, Bryant still chose to go to the basket.

As soon as the basketball was shot, Kobe Bryant flew sideways.

The basketball slid through an arc in the air and then bounced on the hoop a few more times. In the end, perhaps it was Kobe's persistence that moved the heavens, and the basketball rolled into the net.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, and his finger was pointed at Battier.

Such a penalty immediately caused a burst of boos from the scene.

"Damn! Is that bastard's eye blind? This ball was obviously fell by Kobe Bryant himself who couldn't control his balance, what does it have to do with Battier?"

"Hell, this TM must be David Stern's old ghost balancing it again. Is he really so reluctant to win the Knicks' championship? Does he have to come out at this critical time and ruin Lamar's good deeds?" Bill Wharton looked very dissatisfied.

And at the instigation of Bill Walton, the fans at the scene were almost about to riot.

David Stern, who was sitting in the VIP seat watching the game with James Dolan, turned blue with anger. Although he did instruct the referee on duty to take proper care of the Lakers during the game, it was just to make the Finals look a little more exciting.

Although Stern doesn't want the NBA to become a situation where the Knicks dominate in the future, it is impossible to make a stupid move in Madison in full view of everyone.

The foul just now was within the scope of whether it could be judged or not, and even if the foul was awarded, it was nothing. It's just that once you connect with Stern's grievances with the Knicks on weekdays, people will inevitably think in that direction.

Battier was also very helpless and stopped his teammates who wanted to find a referee theory.

For such a punishment, Lamar, as the captain, finally chose to accept it. After all, this is just a small episode of the game, nothing to make a fuss about.

As Wharton said, Lamar was really enjoying the game today. There is no suspense about the championship anymore, and now Lamar just wants to make the end of the season even more perfect!

"Whew!" Bryant hit a free throw, and the two sides returned to the same running line at one time, and the game continued.

Seven minutes into the first quarter, the two sides were tied again at 18-18.

During this time, both sides have had an extremely high success rate in attack.

Lamar, in particular, scored 12 points on 4-of-4 shooting.

Kobe Bryant, the highest scorer on the Lakers' side, scored 13 points alone.

Seeing that the team couldn't open the situation on the field, Van Gundy couldn't sit still at first. He didn't have Jackson's concentration after all. Especially sitting in the position of head coach, facing such an important game for the first time, it is inevitable to feel nervous.

"Then we have to continue to strengthen the attack. John, you come on and replace Sean. Devin, you took over Sean's defensive duties as the main defense Kobe. John took care to help Devon defend Bryant. He's not an easy character to deal with. ”

"Kobe Bryant has scored 13 points just now, and this situation must not continue! We must control him, as long as we guard him, the Lakers' outside attack point will be dumb. ”

"Samuel, can you keep up with your physical strength? You defended well in the first half of the quarter! Remember, try to go around the front to defend, as long as that big fat man catches the ball under the basket, stop him from dunking at all costs!"

'The lads concentrate and remember that today is our last game of the season. We can't afford to put it off any longer, and it's just today, on our turf, that the Knicks win another championship after 30 years. ”

Van Gundy said and couldn't help but glance at the VIP seats high up in the arena.

Everybody knows it's there, and the O'Brien Cup is there. In order to prevent the Knicks from really sweeping the Lakers 4-0, David Stern has brought the O'Brien Cup today. Today this trophy will find its ultimate owner, and that's what all Knicks really think at the moment.

Van Gundy was unhappy with his team's performance in the recent period, and Jackson on the other side was equally unhappy. Although the team is now tightly biting the score, the situation on the field is not what he wants.

"Shaq, remember what I said before the game started? You're the starting point for the team's offense, be careful to pull to the free throw line and do the work for the rest of the team, don't always guard the basket. ”

"Play to your strengths and don't always compete with Dampoter's second player under the basket. You're not brave, you're stupid!"

"There are others, and I'm very unhappy with your performance. We can't always focus on Shaq and Kobe. Kobe Bryant pays attention to maintaining his strength, we still have more than 30 minutes to play in this game. If you want to make it to the end and play Lamar, then you have to cut back on the number of shots and find opportunities to pass the ball to teammates in better positions, you know?"

Although Bryant disagreed with Jackson's order, he had to admit that Jackson's statement was right. If he continues like this, he will always be on a rampage on the field alone, and his physical strength will be exhausted before the game is over.

"Yes! Do as you say! Shaq, tonight we let go of each other's prejudices, and for the sake of victory, can you pull more outside to pick me up?"

Shaq hesitated, but finally nodded and agreed. In fact, he didn't want to do any strategic work, whether it was in the Orlando Magic or the Lakers, he was a well-deserved No1 and the offensive core.

But everything has changed since the three consecutive championships, because of the existence of Kobe, a restless freak, his status has been deteriorating. But this is also something that cannot be helped, as he gets older and gains weight, it is no longer possible for him to play 40 minutes per game as he used to!

If you keep messing with Kobe like this, not to mention this season's championship, the shame of being swept is definitely unacceptable to Shaq!
