Chapter 1029
Some of the Knicks are just rookies, and some have waited all their lives for this championship. Mark Jackson, for example, doesn't have a season left. Therefore, I cherish such an opportunity.
In the first half, Mark Jackson only played six minutes, but he contributed five points and three assists for the Knicks.
Lamar, who was fully in hot blood mode, kicked the door of the dressing room open again with a big foot. This time he really used all his strength, and the gate actually collapsed directly under his heavy blow.
When the final decisive moment came, Lamar decided not to keep anything more.
At the end of the first half, Lamar had only 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. If this result were put on someone else, it might already be called a star level, but for Lamar, an offensive maniac and scoring machine, it is a bit abnormal.
Everyone knows that Lamar is conserving his strength, and now in the second half, people have a hunch that the most terrifying Lamar will definitely return.
As Lamar came out of the tunnel, Bryant's eyes fell on him. Looking at Lamar's penetrating eyes, Bryant knew that the time for a decisive battle had really arrived.
The first meeting between the two in the second half was again Kobe Bryant's attack on Battier's defense.
This time, Battier deliberately distanced himself from Kobe. Judging from the state of Kobe's shooting in the first half, the Black Mamba didn't feel good today. So the smart Battier decisively gave up defending Kobe's shots and focused on dealing with Kobe's breakthroughs.
"Are you ready to fight for a championship?" Bryant clearly felt that Battier's defense was more aggressive.
Thinking of this, even Kobe Bryant felt funny, since the start of the Finals, when has Battier, a well-known NBA high-IQ defensive master, been polite to himself.
"Bang!", just when Kobe Bryant was distracted, Battier suddenly stepped forward, and his left hand suddenly appeared in the gap under Kobe's armpit like lightning.
This was completely unexpected by Kobe. After all, Battier is very cautious when defending himself, and never dares to make a dangerous shot to break the ball. But now Battier actually saw the right time to make a move, and by the time Kobe Bryant reacted, the basketball had already passed behind him, bounced on the ground, and rolled to the Lakers' halfcourt.
Kobe Bryant hurriedly turned around, but his movements were still a beat slower. By the time he turned around, Lamar, who had been eyeing him for a long time, had already passed him and rushed towards their half.
"Defend! Defend!" Bryant shouted and ran after Lamar, trying to stop Lamar before he could make a layup. But Battier next to him will not let Kobe succeed and has been squeezing Kobe with his body.
The other Lakers players were also trying their best to catch up, but the reaction was nearly two beats slower than Lamar, making their efforts futile.
In the end, the Lakers players, including Kobe, all of them could only watch Lamar jump from the free throw line, and then perform gorgeous dance moves in the air, and the basketball was smashed into the net by Lamar.
After landing, Lamar also looked very excited, looking up to the sky and screaming and pounding his chest hard. Lamar then pointed to Kobe.
Now Kobe's face is even darker, it's not that he can't afford to lose, it's just that he doesn't like to lose, especially not to lose to Lamar, a sworn enemy.
When the Lakers attacked again, before the basketball was halftime, Kobe Bryant reached for the ball.
Still facing Battier, this time Bryant's attention is obviously more focused. The basketball was slowly slapped by Kobe Bryant's side behind his body, and little by little it approached Battier.
When the distance between the two men was less than a meter, Kobe Bryant suddenly accelerated forward without feints, and it looked like he was going to decide the winner with complete speed.
Seeing this, Battier also hurriedly stepped back, leaning sideways to block the straight line between Kobe and the basket. At this time, Battier swung sideways with one hand to prevent Kobe from pulling the ball and turned over, and raised one hand high to prevent Kobe from suddenly stopping the jump shot.
Battier put on such a defensive posture, and Kobe Bryant really felt very uncomfortable. However, the persistent Black Mamba did not give up his revenge so easily, and he was still accelerating.
After stepping into the free throw line, the two men jumped up at the same time, and it seemed that they had decided to put the final battlefield into the air, and everything would be divided between the lights and fires.
"Bang!", the two men collided in the air, Kobe's body obviously fell backwards, and Battier was almost in the same situation.
It's just that even if he fell backwards, Battier's hand was still stubbornly placed directly above Kobe's head, and he just refused to take it away.
Kobe Bryant was ready to shoot, but Battier's hand, which should have disappeared a long time ago, was always stubbornly blocking his shooting lane, so he finally lost the best shooting opportunity.
It was at this moment of hesitation that one of the stupidest mistakes of Kobe Bryant's basketball career was born. Both feet hit the ground, but the basketball was still in Kobe's hands.
The fans at the scene were stunned for a while, although because of the competition with Lamar, the fans did not treat this Los Angeles darling very much. But such a mistake happened to a famous star like Kobe, which still made them feel incredible.
"Hell!"
After Kobe Bryant landed, he smashed the basketball to the ground. Others may not have seen it so really, only he and Lamar knew what was going on.
Although it is understandable to make an occasional mistake, Knicks fans will not be so generous and considerate of Kobe's distress.
Immediately, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and some extreme fans even began to sarcastically mock Kobe Bryant loudly.
"Hey, clown, were you just trying to be funny? Okay, honey, you won! It's so funny! Congratulations, boy, you've made us happy, and the city will thank you for it!"
The referee was also stunned just now, he couldn't figure out what was the short-circuit in Kobe's brain, so that such a funny mistake could happen.
The referee was secretly laughing in his heart, but there was one thing he would not ignore. Kobe Bryant's venting smashing of the basketball on the ground just now has obviously touched the league's rules, so a technical foul can't run.
Lamar made the free throw, and before he made the shot, he glanced back at Bryant with interest.
"It's so much fun!"
"Huh!"
Free throws are solidly hit.
Because of Kobe's gift, the Knicks took a three-point lead at the beginning of the second half, and the ball was still in the hands of the Knicks.
Dampote sent the ball to the touchline, and Lamar kept running to try to shake off Scola who was following him to catch the ball, but Scola was given a dead order at half-time and was determined to follow to the end.
Kobe Bryant has also been keeping an eye on Lamar's movements and is ready to attack at any time. I lost the big guy just now, and it is estimated that after this match, no matter what the result is, he will become the focus of people's attacks. After all, it's a bit unbelievable that such a mistake can occur in a superstar like him, and even a beginner in basketball should know this minimum of common sense.
As soon as I thought of this Kobe, my cold face couldn't help but blush.
"That was done on purpose, right? Actually, you don't have to do it, the atmosphere is already very good. As long as you obediently lose the game, the people here will be very happy, and you don't have to perform that funny thing at all. Wade, who experienced the finals for the first time, laughed in his heart just now.
Wade, who was pressed and abused by Kobe in this round of the finals, finally caught Kobe's sore foot, and naturally refused to let it go so gently. Originally, Wade was in the den of the Knicks, and he was deeply affected by Lamar, the NBA's No. 1 poisonous tongue, and the rookie began to become damaged under the influence of his ears and eyes.
Kobe Bryant listened to the noise of the rookie Wade opposite, and his heart couldn't help but be angry. Fortunately, Kobe Bryant still maintained a trace of sanity, and kept paying attention to Lamar's every move with the corner of his eye while following Wade's running.
"It's better to save your energy, you are the only ones who lose the game. Wade could feel Kobe's contempt for him, but he was not depressed about it, after all, his current strength is still a lot worse than Kobe, and it is normal to be despised.
Lamar kept running and winked at the oncoming Anderson.
If you want to talk about the interior partner combination in the Knicks, the most dangerous and offensive is undoubtedly Lamar and Dampoter, but the degree of tacit understanding is none other than Lamar and Anderson. The tacit understanding between them has been established since the time of the Los Angeles Lakers, and there is no need to speak at all, just a look at it all.
Sure enough, Anderson nodded understandingly, and when Lamar was less than a meter away from him, Anderson suddenly braked sharply and stopped.
Lamar made a nice lateral turn and walked past Anderson.
When the two were side by side, Lamar also deliberately paused, and Scola, who was closely behind Lamar, had nowhere to hide, so he naturally crashed into Anderson's body.
That's when Billups' pass arrived. Lamar seemed to have eyes behind him, and his hand seemed to be casually lifted to hold the ball in his hand.
Facing O'Neal who switched to defend in another position, the fire of revenge in Lamar's heart burned again.
Taking a step up, Lamar leaned on the arms of the big shark before O'Neal could gain a foothold, and then entangled with O'Neal and rushed to the Lakers' basket.
O'Neill regretted it in his heart, and he knew that he wouldn't have stepped forward to block it just now. Now looking at Lamar's posture, he knows that he is estimated to have to pay for another foul this time. The big shark wanted to hide, but when he thought of Kobe's villainous face, he still gave up this unrealistic idea.
The relationship between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal has long been incompatible, and the two will quarrel over a little thing in the team.
