Chapter 51: Lamar's Lucky Day
Historically, in the NBA, the combination of inside and outside is the most terrifying! A super insider, a super outside, can give birth to countless classics. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info such as "Penny" Hardaway and "Big Shark" O'Neal, "Glove" Gary Payton and former "Rain Man" Kemp, John Stockton and "Postman" Malone, "Magician" Johnson and "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar, "Lone Wolf" Marbury and "Wolf King" Garnett, and now OK are all so adversarial.
The combination of the inside and outside of the supersonic team played very well. Although Wenbeck's physical condition has declined significantly due to alcoholism, it is undeniable that he is still an excellent interior player, and Gary Payton's assists are always so appropriate.
On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, although Kobe Bryant can control the basketball well, he is not a point guard after all, he always can't help but start the singles mode with the ball, and the basketball always does not get a good rotation. So Phil had to let Lamar organize every time, although Chauncy is also good, but there is still a little gap between Chauncey's passing ability and the master level, Chauncey's advantage is his control of the pace of the game, so the team is now the best organizer or Lamar.
Official Pause!
Lamar returned to the court with a towel to wipe his sweat and lay prone on the folded mattress, while Gary Wadi was massaging and stretching behind me. Lamar didn't know if this stretching was good for his height, but he believed it would help him recover his stamina, and every time he was tossed by Gary Vidi after the break, he felt his body re-energized.
"Kobe, you get off the court first, rest for 3 minutes first, and maintain your strength for the rest of the game, Haber, you... "The first arrangement made by Doug Collins was to let Kobe Bryant rest, he had to be rotated, if he didn't rotate, I believe Kobe Bryant wouldn't lie down, this guy's physical strength is very perverted!
Murray and Shaq were also replaced, and Hawley and Shaw were substituted. This is a half-main and half-substitute lineup, but this lineup is comparable to the main lineup of many teams, and the strength is not bad at all, which has been tempered for half a season.
Wenbeck was Lamar's main defense, and he didn't play much today, but there were two dunks, especially the second, which put Lamar and Shaq in the back. Lamar is angry, and the consequences are serious!
Lamar kept telling himself in his mind to prevent him from dying. Now Lamar is not a power forward, Lamar is now playing in the center position, and Hawley next to him can be pulled to the outside at any time. When Wembekra came out to do the pick-and-roll, Lamar followed, following him closely.
The basketball was in front of him, and Lamar stretched out his left hand as if he were ghostly, and the fiery red elf suddenly changed his original trajectory.
Lamar broke the ball!
Lamar didn't have time to think about it, took a step forward, picked up the ball, and quickly dribbled to the front court.
There was no one in front of him, Lamar's opponents and teammates were left behind by him! At this time, Lamar did not hesitate, there was no pause, and there was no obstacle, and the dribbling posture was not elegant, but it was very smooth.
Reaching the three-point line, Lamar heard heavy footsteps behind him, followed by Hawley's shout: "Watch the back!"
Lamar can't care so much, now he just wants to vent his inner anger! Jumping up with all his strength, Lamar knew that there was someone behind him, handed the ball from his left hand to his right hand, avoided the block of the player behind him, and poured the basketball into the basket with his right hand, which he was not good at!
"Smack!" Lamar inevitably slapped him the arm.
"Tick!" the referee's whistle remembered in time, foul! It was Brent Barry who saw that the block was invalid and tried to break Lamar's dunk with a foul!
"Lamar broke the ball, wow! There was no one in front of him, Lamar chose to dribble the ball himself, and after halftime, Brent Barry was chasing, got to the three-point line, jumped up, dunked! Oh my God! It was beautiful! Lamar did a great one! His dribble was as fluid as a guard, and his talent was just amazing! The Lakers' deal was wonderful!" Elvin Hayes in the commentary box couldn't be more excited.
"It's incredible! Lamar is going to be a great player, that's what everyone has long recognized! But you would never think Lamar has such a passionate side, and he can play dunks in the air! This is the patent of those super dunks! It's incredible! I declare that I am a fan of Lamar! I will ask Lamar for an autographed jersey after the game!"
The referee sends the ball to Lamar and takes a penalty!
Lamar took the ball, soothed the pain in his hand, and kissed the basketball gently, Lamar just wanted to express his joy. At this moment, Lamar was just a little overjoyed.
The moment the ball was shot, Lamar knew that the shot was inaccurate, and it was obvious that Barry's moment was still a bit ruthless, and Lamar overdid it.
Lamar took a big step forward, smashed past Weinbeck's block, smashed into the paint, jumped high, caught the basketball that had bounced off the rebound, and pushed up with his waist to smash the ball into the basket.
The momentum of the Lakers was instantly rising, and Shaq on the bench began to lead the players off the court to dance towels.
This time Lamar is indispensable! Lamar raised his arms and shouted with joy!
The game changed course at an unexpected moment. The Lakers no longer gave the SuperSonics any chance, and the score began to get bigger and bigger. By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had a 19-point lead. By the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, the margin had widened to 23 points. The game began to go into garbage time.
"Lamar, after you go up, you have a chance to play a low singles and try your skills! understand?" Phil replaced most of the main players, allowing Lamar to stay on the court and lead the bench.
"Be tough! It's okay to make mistakes! We're already ahead by a big margin! Play as you want for the rest of the night!" Shaq said to Lamar as well.
Lamar leaned his back against Olumid Odeje, squeezed his position hard, and stretched out his arms to ask for the ball from Tyrone Lu. Lu loafed the ball to Lamar, who received the ball and leaned back, then turned to the left with the tip of his left foot.
Olumid Odeje reacted quickly and moved quickly to try to stop Lamar's attack. Lamar rotated back again on the tip of his left foot. The contact of his body clearly felt Olumid Odejie's center of gravity shifting back, not only back, but also to the other side, and he tried to stop Lamar from attacking from the other side.
Lamar didn't go as he wanted, and turned left again, and Olumid Odejie was completely out of position, Lamar then slapped the basketball hard, strode forward, jumped up into the paint, and solved the battle with a dunk.
In this low-post single, Lamar gave himself a 9. Lamar felt like he was doing almost everything he could, whether it was receiving the ball or turning around. So he was also very excited, curled up his two arms, and showed his biceps to the audience. The scene was full of cheers, who let this be the home court of the Lakers! Obviously, the fans feel that Lamar's biceps are very beautiful!
The substitutes were desperate, and although it was garbage time for the main players, it was a moment for them to perform. As long as they can perform well in those times, they will be drafted into the rotation, and they may be able to make corrections, and some will even get big contracts. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. The substitutes are no exception.
Lamar once again singled Olumid Odeje with his back, almost in the same position, Lamar used his left toe as the axis, constantly spinning and turning, almost stunting Olumid Odeje, and then used an easy hook to finish the round.
Today should be Lamar's lucky day. Lamar kept moving forward on the stage provided by Phil Jackson, and even Elvin Hayes on the commentary stage was clamoring for Lamar to improve so quickly.
Lamar constantly tormented Olumid Odejey on the inside, hitting him three times in a row with a basketball on the head. Lamar was certainly happy, and his heart was filled with joy. I didn't waste any effort, but with my feet I easily shook Olumid Odeje and broke through the opponent's defense with ease. Lamar put his right hand to his ear after scoring again, listening to the cheers from the stands. It sounds so exciting.
The SuperSonics head coach called a timeout. Although it was garbage time, he clearly didn't want to lose too miserably.
Lamar wiped his sweat with a towel, drank a few large sips of the water handed by Ramon Murray, and didn't feel thirsty when he was running wild on the field just now, and when he paused, he felt that he was really thirsty.
"After the timeout, the SuperSonics will definitely strengthen your defense, Lamar, you have to pay attention to passing the ball outside, you have to combine the inside and outside, don't blindly play alone, understand?" Phil kept analyzing the opponent's moves, constantly telling Lamar what to do.
The SuperSonics did not make substitutions, and they were still a group of substitutes on the field.
Lamar once again put his back on Olumid Odeje and pushed him hard to the basket, deep into the basket. Lu seized the opportunity to hoist the ball to Lamar. Lamar leaned on the back of his left shoulder against Odjie, held the ball in both hands, slammed it back, and then quickly turned to the left with the tip of his left foot.
Kneel down and beg the gods for alms!
