By the end of the third quarter, the game was tied at 83-81.

At this time, the Knicks still led by two points, and Lamar had 22 points, eight rebounds and four assists in the first three quarters. This is the result of Lamar being pressed to the bench for the entire second quarter, or the stats would have been even better.

Kobe Bryant was not unwilling, scoring 27 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Although he is a lot behind Lamar in rebounds and assists, he is a lot ahead of Lamar in scoring.

Back on the bench, Lamar, who had lost his adrenaline support, immediately felt tired. The fighting style with Kobe Bryant just now made Lamar always in a state of excitement, and at this time he stopped abruptly and found that his physical strength was almost exhausted. ‘

Kobe Bryant on the other side is similar, scoring points with a master like Lamar, and having to face those defensive masters of the Knicks, which is too physically exhausting. Even though Kobe's physical strength has always been good, he can't afford to toss like this. At this point, he didn't even have the strength to speak, just panting vigorously.

Jackson looked at Kobe Bryant's appearance and asked helplessly, "Do you want to take a break?"

"No!" Kobe Bryant refused in a cold tone: "It's not the time yet, you must not relax at this time!"

Jackson didn't insist anymore, he knew that at this time in the game, the Lakers who lost O'Neal needed Kobe Bryant the most, and he himself didn't want Kobe to go down at this time.

"Okay! But in the fourth quarter, you must not rush too hard, pay attention to reserving your physical strength, and finally fight the battle!"

Kobe Bryant didn't speak, just nodded, and then stopped moving, closed his eyes and went to recuperate.

But Lamar on the other side failed to convince Van Gundy, who exercised his right as head coach and replaced Lamar with Hilario. It's just a pitiful two points, but the team is still in the lead, and Lamar does need to rest, no matter how much time he has.

After laying out the final tactics, the fourth quarter of the game is about to begin.

Seeing Lamar being left on the bench, Kobe's gaze became even colder. At this time, Lamar, who was powerless, was very calm, and he seemed at ease in the face of Kobe's provocative eyes.

Seeing Lamar's complacent appearance, Kobe Bryant was suddenly a little dissatisfied.

Kobe Bryant was dissatisfied, so he naturally had to take action.

As soon as he came up, Kobe Bryant successfully steals Wade, breaks Wade's ball with a slap, and then makes a fast layup and scores the ball.

The score was equalized!

The Knicks didn't look flustered, and they were still clear when attacking.

After a few passes, the basketball was in the hands of Darmsteat, and the Haitian, although not very good, was very sure against Scola who was familiar with the game and did not defend well.

Dampoter's slam dunk!

Scola's defense under the basket was weak in his heyday, let alone now. What's more, now that the game is three-quarters played, the shortcomings of the Lakers after obtaining the five-lucky star lineup have also been revealed, and the lack of rotation personnel has also been revealed. At this time, the physical strength of the Lakers' players also had a lot of problems.

Kobe Bryant's offense was still so fast, and Jackson's advice to conserve his strength didn't take it to heart at all, and after a period of lost steps, he picked up a basket and scored two more points.

In the usual game, it was the Knicks who played fast, and the opponent tried their best to play slow. But today it has completely changed its routine, the Lakers' attack speed continues to increase and fight more and more fiercely, but the Knicks deliberately reduce their speed and start an abrasive positional battle, never shooting until the last moment of each attack.

Only Lamar knew that his teammates were doing everything they could to buy him time to rest. Although he was sitting on the bench at this time, Lamar was not idle, and the team doctor was massaging him to relax his muscles and let him recover his strength faster.

Van Gundy is also constantly deploying troops, so that every main player can get some time to rest. Anderson, Davis, Wang Zhizhi, Simmons, Hill, Barbosa and other players have been on the court for more or less rotation.

At this point, the Knicks made up their minds to hold on to the two-point lead in preparation for the final showdown.

When the game entered the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Bryant was still replaced. Although reluctantly, this is also something that cannot be helped, his physical strength is already seriously overdrawn. Kobe Bryant threw a three-no-stick just now, and missed a good opportunity to overtake in vain.

Bryant went off the court, and Lamar immediately went into battle. Just like Kobe Bryant just now, Lamar took over the game as soon as he came up and hit a three-point shot.

The Knicks once again took a three-point lead.

But the rest of the game didn't go as easy as the Knicks thought.

Although Bryant was not on the court, the other three giants began to play, Joe Johnson's three-pointer, Karl Malone's strong inside shot, and Payton's small throw. The Lakers relied on the play of the Big Three to bite the score.

And taking advantage of Battier's missed shot in an open position, Fisher launched a fast break to equalize the score.

There was more than one minute left until the end of the game.

At this point, there was no chance of a timeout for either side.

The Knicks served quickly, and Lamar was caught when he dribbled to the Lakers' hinterland. It was at this time that Billups rushed from behind, and Lamar immediately chose to pass the ball, and when he landed, he also blocked the defenders in front of Billups.

After Billups received the ball, he saw that the Lakers' defense had opened the door, and Payton, the glove who defended him, was also left behind by him due to physical problems.

There was no chance to be missed, and Billups jumped up for a layup.

Payton, who was following the defense, was a little overwhelmed, but he didn't want to give up like that. At the moment when Billups was about to make a move, Payton slapped Billups on the wrist.

Billups got rid of the basketball in pain, but the foul was quite obvious, and the free throw was not able to run.

But at this moment, the unexpected happened.

"Ahh

The moment he hit the ground, Billups stepped on Karl Malone's feet. No one can tell if Karl Marrone intended it.

At the same time that Billups fell to the ground, Karl Malone also fell to the ground, looking pained.

But Lamar saw it very clearly, Karl Malone was pretending.

As if specifically to set off Karl Malone's pain, Jackson also replaced him at the right time and replaced him with Medvidenko.

Although Karl Malone escaped the referee's punishment, Payton was not so lucky, and he couldn't escape a foul from a thug.

After an examination, the team doctor announced that Billups had sprained his foot and that the game would not be played.

Billups' last-minute departure cast a shadow over the hearts of Knicks players. Instead of bringing on Arenas, Van Gundy brought on Grant Hill instead of Billups for a free throw, pushing Lamar into the point guard position.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the basket, and the fans at the scene burst into jubilation.

Hill, who was ordered to be in danger, was already under a lot of pressure, but now his face changed slightly. Just on the court, his hand obviously hasn't adjusted yet, he rubbed twice on his pants, took the ball to stabilize his mind, and threw the ball again.

"Bang!"

Hill actually missed two free throws, Dampot and Lamar didn't react for a while, and the excited Scola took the opportunity to jump up and grab the rebound.

After grabbing the rebound, Scola immediately passed the ball to Kobe, who dribbled forward, turned and shook off the last obstacle in front of him, Battier, and then scored with a backhand layup.

"Wow!"

The cheers at the scene almost lifted the roof, and Lakers fans really experienced what it means to transform from geography to heaven at this moment.

Who could have imagined that Hill's two free throws would miss both of them, and who would have imagined that Scola would suddenly rise up and grab the rebound in the final moments.

In the final moments of the game, the Lakers finally overtook the score. A two-point lead isn't much, but with only 20 seconds left on the game, it's enough to decide a lot of things.

The Knicks' last offensive chance. This is a crucial goal!

The Knicks, of course, did not hesitate to hand the ball to Lamar for processing.

As the clock ticked by, Lamar rushed to the Lakers half with the ball.

Bryant and Medvedenko, who had just come on the court, immediately pounced on the defense, and everyone thought that the ball would definitely be shot by Lamar, and there was no doubt about it.

Lamar's next move also seemed to confirm their idea, and after being caught in the bag, Lamar did not choose to pass the ball, but took Kobe Bryant and Medvedenko around the three-point line in circles.

In order to contain Lamar, the Lakers' formation is becoming more and more chaotic, and at this time。。。。。。

"Grant!"

After successfully attracting the opponent's bag, Lamar made a decision that surprised everyone with the pass!

Hill obviously didn't expect Lamar to pass the ball either, but when the ball got into his hands, he reacted immediately.

Hill faced an unobstructed passage in front of him and rushed straight to the basket.

Hill, who was rushing forward at full speed, didn't realize that the threat was approaching him, and all that was left in his eyes was the basket and the good chance to equalize.

Time is running out for the game, and Hill must make up for it when he gets his chance.

But at this moment, a huge force was exerted on Ciel's body, making him depressed for a while.

Before Hill could react to what was going on, the whole person flew sideways and fell into the bench. Then another person pressed on top of him, and suddenly a sharp pain came over him, making him dizzy. Hill felt like his shoulders were no longer his own, and the feeling of his muscles tearing made him almost faint.

It's Scola!

Just now, seeing Hill kill the basket as if no one was there, Scola rushed over without thinking much and knocked Hill over in one fell swoop. He didn't care about the consequences, he just knew that if the ball was thrown, the lead they had built up so hard would be gone. 2k reading web
