Chapter 143: Finals 2
Bryant knew that all three commentators were often making a splash in front of the TV, especially Bill Wharton and Collins, both of whom made it clear that they were their fans!
Now that Bill Wharton said hello, of course Kobe Bryant had to go up and entertain him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, guys, how are you? But that's too formal, isn't it? This isn't a charity gala!" Kobe said happily, and all four of Bill Wharton were wearing the same black suit, white shirt, and blue tie, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.
"David Stern's guy is everywhere, he manages too many fields, and now even we are at his disposal, and now he is the biggest in the United States except for the president. Bill Wharton teased. Now that he is no longer an NBA player, he can comment on Stern at will, and if he dared to ridicule Stern in public, then you will wait to be punished.
Miller smiled and asked, "Why didn't you have a three-point shot in the last game?" ”
Bryant's 1.2-second shot was amazing, but it didn't make history, and Miller was the 0.8-second three-point shot before him. That happened in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Bulls, and it was His Majesty Michael Jordan who was defending Miller.
Kobe Bryant shook his head with a smile and said: "Because that game is too important, we can't afford to lose that ball, Shaq must play in the finals this season, he is my brother." I can't hurt him for my own selfish desires. If I can't shoot three-pointers, then I'll hate myself for the rest of my life, and Shaq can't wait any longer. ”
Miller and others nodded, and Americans take brotherly righteousness very seriously, even though this is a country where money is paramount.
"It's really enviable for Shaq to have such a brother and teammate like you. If only I had teammates like you back then. Bill Wharton gasped.
Seeing Bill Wharton's look of pity, Kobe Bryant suddenly said, "Bill, let's make an appointment." If we win the championship, I'll allow you to take a picture with our O'Brien Cup, okay?"
"Oh, really? It's very memorable, it's really cheap for the old fellow, can I have a share?" Smith laughed.
Kobe nodded, he smiled and said, "Of course!"
Bill Wharton shoved Smith and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, bastard, you're so shameless, you know? Kobe, do you mean it? seriously?"
Bryant smiled and nodded.
"Oh, that's amazing, it must be the best gift I've ever received, haha. It was going to be a monumental moment, and it was going to be a moment of my life!" laughed Bill Wharton, who was truly grateful to Kobe Bryant for doing all this.
Miller shook hands with Bill Wharton, then turned his head to Kobe and said, "Kobe, don't talk too much! Maybe we will win in the end!"
"Is it possible?" said Bill Wharton immediately.
"Anything is possible. Miller said categorically.
Pacers entry roster: Jalen Rose, Reggie Miller, Rick Schmitz, Austin Crohill, Dale Davis, Travis Best, Mark Jackson, Sam Davis, Al Harrington, Chris Mullin, Derek McKay, Jonathan Bender, Jeff Foster, Zahn Tabak. Manager: Larry Bird!
At the start of the game, Shaq easily dialed the ball to Chauncey.
Billups passed the ball to Shaq on the inside, Kobe Bryant and others pulled away from the distance, and it was enough to hand over to Shaq alone.
Davis pressed against Shaq's back hard, and his black face was suffocated as if it was stained with ink, no matter who it was, it would not be good to play against Shaq, not to mention that this was in the finals.
With his body pushed back, his shoulders dangling to the left, and his feet moving to the right, Shaq fooled Davis with a simple feint and easily passed him for a layup.
"I love this kind of game, but I don't understand, how can these guys make it to the Knicks?" Shaq said with a smile as he ran backwards.
Lamar shrugged and showed a puzzled posture, in fact, everyone knew that if it weren't for Miller's extraordinary outburst at a critical moment, the Indiana would not have been in the finals at all. But that's okay, in terms of real strength, the Pacers are not even as good as the Knicks.
"Isn't that better?" Lamar asked rhetorically, Mark Jackson rushed over with the ball, Kobe Bryant hurriedly caught up with Reggie Miller, Miller was unlucky today, repeated games proved that Kobe Bryant was just right to beat him, in front of Kobe, his running instant kill and emergency stop jump shot were useless, and he couldn't get rid of Kobe Bryant at all.
Ramon Murray sticks Jalen Rose tightly, as for the Pacers' interior, that is negligible, Shaq and Lamar are not vegetarians! Now the Indianas only have the advantage in playmaking guards, but they can't just let playmaking guards score.
As long as Shaq gets serious, this guy's defense is absolutely top-notch, and with him and Lamar inside, the Indiana's perimeter players had better be prepared for a hat when they rush in.
The result of the game was expected by anyone, the Pacers were able to pull back a game even if this trip to the Finals was not in vain, but it was not easy, in terms of overall offense, they were not as good as the Lakers, and in terms of overall defense, they were far worse than the Lakers. However, this does not mean that the Pacers admit defeat so easily, how can there be a weak team that can reach the Finals? At least in terms of fighting will, this team is not inferior to the Lakers, especially since they also have a resilient boss. (It's a pity that the boss is about to be by Shaq's big mouth, who called Jalen Rose to exceed himself in the regular season this season, so that Shaq got the handle! If it weren't for a strong head coach Big Bird Bird, maybe Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose would have done it in the regular season!)
This person is Reggie Miller, and he is also the key gentleman in the mouth of the majority of Chinese fans!
Reggie Miller's physical fitness and running and jumping speed are average, let alone top-notch. His best thing is his shooting, and for Reggie Miller's off-ball movement, three-pointers, and especially his big heart!
Unfortunately, the Lakers' outside defensive player is named Kobe Bryant, which is why Reggie Miller almost cried when the Pacers learned that the Lakers had advanced to the Finals, he was not afraid of the Trail Blazers' defensive players, Pippen was old after all, but today he was facing the young Kobe Bryant.
Although facing one of the most defensive players in the league, Reggie Miller was still fearless, taking Kobe Bryant to repeatedly intersperse runs inside and outside, using his amazing sense of smell to find a shooting gap, Reggie Miller immediately threw off Kobe Bryant and ran out of the vacancy.
Mark Jackson immediately passed the ball to him, Reggie Miller raised his hand and made a shooting feint to fool Kobe Bryant, who was catching up, and his legs went around his side and rushed into the penalty area to throw.
After Reggie Miller scored two points, the fans in the arena booed loudly. The fans are happy now, the team is ahead, and of course they have to boo their opponents!
The Lakers played an 8-0 at the beginning, but now the score has changed to 8-2.
The Lakers' tactics are very simple, hand over the ball to the inside players to execute, the essence of this tactic is "outside attack, inside ball" is mainly to let the inside players to score first, so that the opponent's attention will be attracted by the inside players, at this time, when the outside players rely on the running position to get the scoring gap, the inside players will divide the ball in time and play into an offense.
Shaq was on the ball again, and Jalen Rose had to be ready to make up for it at any time, and Dale Davis was obviously unreliable.
Ramon Murray withdrew, Shaq passed the ball to him, no one in sight, Ramon Murray easily made a long shot, but it didn't hit, and the rebound happened to be grabbed by Jalen Rose.
The two strongest fast-break teams in the league are the Suns and the Pacers, the Nets can only be ranked third, and as for the Lakers, they can't even rank in the top five.
So at this time, the Pacers began to break fast, and the trident composed of Jalen Rose, Reggie Miller, and Mark Jackson rushed to the frontcourt. Kobe Bryant and others couldn't defend well and were easily given a layup by them.
Jalen Rose's hand for a layup.
Lamar served the ball to Billups, Chauncy looked at Mark Jackson with a serious face, and said helplessly: "Mark." Forget it, everyone knows that you are definitely not our opponent, why don't you surrender? That would be good for you and me, isn't it? You know, facts are facts, no matter how much you struggle?"
Mark Jackson ignored him, still following Billups, remembering what his high school coach had said to him: "If the playmaker is targeted, then the team is finished, and a car without motivation will not be able to run, no matter how luxurious it is!"
Obviously, Mark Jackson wanted to keep an eye on Billups, but he didn't figure out one thing, in fact, the real motive for this team was Lamar.
Billups passed the ball to Lamar, and in the face of Schmitz, Lamar unceremoniously gave him an elbow to eat first, and then rushed into the box with the ball, and the Pacers' interior could not come up to make up for the defense, and Shaq had already blocked them.
Shaking off Schmitz, Lamar scored with an easy dunk.
What does Bill Wharton think of Lamar now, how does Lamar feel like this young man in the eye, and after Lamar dunked, he immediately praised: "Look, look, guys, I'm willing to bet Lamar is going to be the greatest guy in our league in the future, he's a genius who knows all the offensive means." ”
Smith pouted disdainfully, not because he didn't believe Bill Wharton's words, but because he disdained that the guy was slapping Lamar's ass. Lamar's ability is beyond doubt, and a rookie who can average nearly 20 points per game against the Trail Blazers' defense, what else can you doubt about him?"
