Chapter 252: Right and Wrong

I don't think Jerry was wrong, Shaq is definitely the first choice that every team dreams of, and Divac still took up a lot of salary space in the team back then, and Jerry did everything just for the team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWe're going to give it our all for today's game, the team is in good shape at the moment, there's no problem at all, we've got, I've got a lot of information. ā€

However, someone soon stood up to refute his remarks, and the good old man Chris Webber finally couldn't help it this time for his good friend and good partner Divac.

"There are people who have to take responsibility for what they have done, and who are like saints on the surface without the slightest selfish thoughts, but in fact such people are often selfish ghosts, who always think about themselves and never take into account the feelings of others. I could tell that Divac loved that team very much, and he must have thought about fighting for that team for the rest of his life, but someone didn't want to give him a chance, and while he was still fighting for that team, that person immediately jumped out and swept him away for the sake of another great guy. Today I want them to see what unforgivable mistakes they made in the first place. ā€

Although he didn't name him, everyone could hear that the person Chris Webber was talking about was Jerry West.

The Kings continued their regular lineup for this game, with center Divac, power forward Chris Webber, small forward Stojakovic, shooting guard Christie, and point guard Mike Bibby.

Bobby Jackson, who had already shown potential as a bench bandit, was put on the bench by Adelman. His purpose in doing this is actually very simple, which is to continue the firepower of the bench and prevent him from being injured in the fierce confrontation in the playoffs!

Compared to Billups, who is excellent defensively, Tyrone Lue is much easier to deal with at the Lakers' backup point guard position.

There is also the fact that Adelman knows very well what the team is inferior to the Lakers, that is, defense. The reason why the Lakers have come to this day and firmly occupy the first place in the league's regular season is because of their sharp defense and terrifying attack group.

Adelman also knows that Chris Webber and Christie alone want to defend the Lakers is simply a fantasy! If you want to win, you can only find a way to attack and try to improve your team's offensive power, after all, basketball games ultimately rely on scoring to determine the winner.

Stojakovic is exactly that variable, the player who can change the trend of the game, when he plays well, he is one of the best outside forwards in the league, and of course when he is impotent, he is also a disaster for the team, and now Adelman has to do all the time to keep Stojakovic in a strong state.

Before the game, Chris Webber specifically approached Lamar and the first thing he said was: "I'll leave with a win in a few days." ā€

Lamar smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "A lot of people have said that, but no one can do it, sorry Chris, your playoff journey is over." ā€

Chris Webber shot back without showing weakness: "Then let's see." ā€

Lamar watched as Chris Webber walked back to his half, turned his head and whispered a few words in Shaq's ear.

The referee has already entered the field with the ball, Shaq and the opposing center Divac stood on the halfway line and prepared to jump the ball, Lamar believes that Shaq will be able to fight for the ball, and there are absolutely only three people in this league who can beat Shaq on the jump ball, that is, Garnett, Duncan, the top interior in the league.

Shaq didn't disappoint Lamar, relying on a brilliant bounce to easily get the ball into Lamar's position, who took the lead and controlled the ball before Chris Webb.

Chris Webber hurriedly stepped back and prepared to defend, and with what he knew about Lamar, the first goal was definitely going to be forced.

The momentum at the beginning of the game is important for the whole game, and if the Lakers play out the momentum, the game will be difficult to play.

Lamar looked at Chris Webb's stern stance, suddenly smiled, and then with a flick of his wrist, the basketball passed through the gap in the crowd as if it had been given life, and found Shaq, who had run to the inside.

At this time, the king had not formed a defensive formation at all, and there was no one under the basket, and in the face of such a good opportunity, Shaq naturally did not miss it, shouted, rose from the ground, and smashed the ball into the basket.

As soon as the Lakers opened up, they used a sneak attack to clearly tell the other party that it is not so easy to win on their turf!

The Lakers' surprise attack at the beginning did not disrupt the Kings' position, and they still carried out the pre-game tactical arrangements of head coach Adelman unhurriedly.

The goal they conceded just now was just regarded as an inconsequential mistake, after all, there are more than 40 minutes in a game, and no one can guarantee that they will be focused at all times.

Chris Webber handed the ball to Mike Bibby, who easily brought the ball to the frontcourt, if you only talk about the control of the ball, he can definitely rank in the top few in the league, even Kobe Bryant can't find a chance to break the ball, can only use non-stop attacks to slow down his speed with the ball.

Sure enough, just after halftime, he passed to Chris Webber, which was the key to the Princeton tactics that Rick Adelman relied on to make a name for.

After Chris Webber received the ball, the first thing he had to face was Shaq's tight defense, and with several lessons in the regular season, Phil Jackson no longer dared to let Lamar defend Chris Webber, in comparison, Shaq was more reliable.

Shaq stuck to Chris Webber the moment he received the ball, and his two arms were stubbornly pressed against Chris Webber's back, preventing him from having a chance to turn easily.

Chris Webber held the ball firmly in his hand, patiently probed, and now he also felt the pressure brought to him by Shaq! Compared with Lamar, Shaq, who defended seriously, was a world of difference, and Shaq had an absolute advantage in terms of body.

Seeing that there was no chance to attack, Chris Webber suddenly arched back to make a posture that wanted to eat hard, and when the Lakers' defensive formation began to tilt in his direction, he suddenly made a ground-hitting pass and handed the ball to Stojakovic outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.

At this time, Ramon Murray, who was responsible for defending Stojakovic, had been attracted by Chris Weber, and the defensive position was lost.

Stojakovic had already received the ball, and with a simple shad, it sent Ramon flying, and then he went short, put the ball at his waist and broke in, and hit a jumper before Lamar could make up for it.

Shaq was unhappy with Rammond's defensive performance on that goal, shouting: "Rammond, keep an eye on your guys, don't worry about anything else." ā€

Ramon Murray also knew that it was because of his mistakes in defense that Stojakovic scored easily, and he could only accept the boss's scolding silently, and took the initiative to run to the bottom line and send the ball out.

Bryant calmly controlled the ball forward.

Although Lamar was closely guarded by Chris Webber, he was not in a hurry, moving slowly, looking for opportunities.

The main cooperation between him and Kobe Bryant on the court has not yet found a channel, basically one is to control the ball, the other to complete the kill, or one person to do both things, and the other to be a spectator.

This is the biggest drawback of the Lakers right now, no one wants to be Pippen, and they only want to be Jordan in their minds. And the Lakers' Jordan has long been firmly occupied by Shaq!

The 24-second offensive time quickly passed 14 seconds, Kobe Bryant also seemed a little anxious, Christie's unreasonable defense made him feel very uncomfortable, and he could only make the speed and frequency of dribbling faster to ensure that the ball was not snatched away, but Kobe Bryant didn't seem to have the intention of breaking through, just pulling the opponent's defense on the periphery.

Seeing that time was running out, Lamar made a color to Shaq on the inside, who immediately understood and pulled out the inside line to block him.

With Shaq's cover, Lamar no longer hesitated, and with a light switchback run, he went around Shaq's side and went straight to the Kings' basket, so fast that Chris Webber didn't have time to react at all.

Chris Webber could only move with his body, but Shaq beside him caused him to hit a wall, and he could only watch Lamar finish the final blow.

Bryant also noticed the opportunity at the moment when Lamar started, and when Lamar jumped, Bryant's pass flew just right.

Although Divac on the inside of the Kings reflected quickly, he chose to jump against Lamar as soon as possible, trying to cover Lamar's slam dunk as deep as possible.

Even violent players like Kevin Garnett and Kenyon Martin have not been able to take advantage of Lamar's direct confrontation, let alone an old Divac.

"Boom!"

There was no suspense, the basketball was smashed into the basket by Lamar's one-handed slam dunk, and as for Divac, he had been hit by Lamar's brutal body into the group of reporters behind the basketball hoop.

If Shaq's two-handed dunk at the beginning was just the beginning of the game, Lamar's dunk brought the game to a climax from that moment.

Chris Webber looked at Lamar with some surprise, he really didn't expect Lamar to be so outstanding this season in addition to his superb ball skills, even his speed and strength have become so outstanding.

Webber didn't feel fear or disappointment in his heart, he just felt that the aggressive nature hidden in his body had been awakened, and he wanted to defeat the opponent in front of him and become the leader of the modern power forward. (To be continued.) )
