Chapter 279: Falling to the ground and frightened

Of course, he will not use a strategy to fight the game to the end, relying on Lamar's individual play alone is no longer enough to ensure victory, and now is the time for the managers of both sides to battle their wits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"We're going to change our tactics next, the Trail Blazers aren't stupid, they're not going to sit still! Chris Anderson, you wait for Rao to defend Sabonis, Lamar, you're in this position in the middle! Chauncey you're here。。。。。。 "Phil Jackson's pen is also constantly sketching!

At this time, at the Staples Center Arena, this wonderful Western Conference Finals began to change from martial arts to cultural fighting. When the fighting ability and fighting enthusiasm of the two teams are comparable, the tactics of the head coach are especially important!

Both teams have now shifted from individual play to overall offense and tactical drills, and McDonleavy and Phil Jackson have made the most of what they can do!

"It's not good!"

At the end of the third quarter, McDonleavy muttered to himself as he looked at the electronic scorer hanging high above.

Although the new defensive tactics successfully curbed the Lakers' interior play, the score between the two sides was not pulled into much, and the shooting rate of the two teams also returned to a normal level in this quarter. Even Rasheed Wallace consumed a lot of physical strength because of his crazy pursuit of points in the third quarter, and his offensive efficiency dropped a lot.

At 63:70, the Lakers still led the Trail Blazers by 7 points.

Seven points is not a lot of points, especially when there are still 12 minutes of play, seven points is really not much.

However, what McDonleavy is worried about now is not the seven points, but the team's core physical strength! Sabonis and Rashid to be exact.

When the players are in physical trouble at the end of a game, the manager's tactical arrangement, no matter how clever it is, can be greatly reduced. At this time, the final outcome of the game will depend on the performance of the star players of both sides at key moments.

Seeing Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace, whose chests were constantly rising and falling on the bench, and Rashid Wallace, McDonleavy was now worried about whether these two men would be able to hold on.

Looking at Sabonis sweating like rain, MacDunleavy's heart suddenly fell into a trough. Sabonis has not forgived his years, and the physical problem of the old guy has been a major problem for him this season, and if this problem cannot be solved in time, then, no matter how good his skills are, the Trail Blazers will be hanging in the balance.

While McDonleavy was worried about Sabonis, the old guy was also calculating his physical strength, and he wanted to do his best in the next game to lead the team to a victory, but unfortunately, he was the one who knew his physical condition best. According to his estimates, he can hold on for 4 minutes at most, and the rest of the time, even if he stays on the field, he can't do anything, and it is likely that he will drag his teammates back, and Sabonis's heart is now full of unwillingness.

Seeing McDonleavy look at him with an inquiring look, Sabonis gritted his teeth and held out a hand to McDonleavy. That's the limit he can hold on to now, and once he gets past it, he's not sure if he'll be able to walk away from the ring.

Although McDonleavy was not completely satisfied, it was still a relatively reassuring answer for him, he could do a lot in 5 minutes, and he could make more arrangements.

There is another reason for him to regain confidence in the game, that is, in the last few minutes of the third quarter, Lamar was also replaced due to physical exhaustion, and was used as the main point of attack to play more than a quarter of the game, so that Lamar, who has always been known for his good physical strength, is also a little unbearable!

On the other side of the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson was also discussing the Lakers' tactical arrangements for the final quarter with his players.

"I think they're going to bring in Grant, and while Bunch Wells is more physically strong and flexible, Portland needs more defense right now, and Grant is not younger, but he's better than everyone else, and he's got more playoff experience than Bunch Wells. ”

Phil Jackson made his own judgment.

"Although Grant is much worse than Sabonis, we must not underestimate him, especially his ability to shoot with his hands, and we must be careful. You can't leave him too much space, Shaq, you replace Robert, remember to defend the basket, Anderson, if Grantra goes to the outside, you have to follow him out in time and pay attention to his shots, understand?"

At the end, Phil Jackson looked at Lamar again.

"Lamar, you take a break, I'll see you later!"

Lamar exhaled deeply, letting his body relax a little, nodded solemnly to Phil Jackson, and then got up and stood on the sidelines to high-five every teammate who came on the court.

The short break passed quickly, and the players of both teams walked onto the pitch a little tired.

At this time, the Lakers' Lamar and Billups, the two main firepower points, sat off the court to rest. On the Trail Blazers' side, Sabonis did not play, and he was replaced by the veteran Grant as Phil Jackson said, and Bunch Wells, who had a somewhat unruly personality, did not get a chance to play in two consecutive games, of course, he was not lonely, and his eyes were still scanning the **** of the cheerleading girls on the sidelines.

After three quarters of hard work, the tempo of both teams is now slowing down. The Lakers relied on the interior height advantage of Shaq and Anderson to attack, and on the Trail Blazers' side, Stoudemire, who did not waste much physical strength in the first three quarters, also began to show his strength at this time!

Assists, scoring, and connecting the Trail Blazers' offense are impressive. It was clear that the inexperienced Tyrone Lue couldn't keep up with Stoudemire's pace.

Shaq leaned on the new Grant, half-hooked shot, hit the basket and bounced up, and Anderson, the birdman who followed him, shook off Rashid Walle, squeezed under the basket very suddenly, jumped up, grabbed the basketball that bounced high in the air and smashed it directly into the basket.

Then Stoudemire used a skillful back-dribble and followed up with a step-back follow-up to break through Tyrone Lue's poor defense and score the ball with a classic textbook shot.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack again, Bryan Shaw received the ball from the outside, made a shooting move, deceived Scott Pippen, who defended him, and then threw the ball in the direction of the basket. Shaq under the basket stuck Rasheed Wallace, and Anderson jumped calmly next to him, beating the old guy Grant to complete the aerial relay.

The two sides went back and forth for a few rounds, and neither took advantage of anything, and after Stoudemire hit another mid-range shot, Phil Jackson decisively called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Lakers first made adjustments, Lamar and Billups, who were resting off the court just now, all appeared at this time, while the Trail Blazers, the lineup did not make much adjustment, Sabonis still did not play, but Atkinson replaced Stoudemire, who also had physical problems.

The game started again, and Anderson stepped forward to make a block for Lamar! Lamar broke through and attracted Steve Smith's defense! Then he distributed the ball to the unmarked Chauncey, and the recovered Flounder sounded the Lakers' offensive horn with his three-point shot!

Not to be outdone, the Trail Blazers made 2 of 2 free throws for Steve Smith to make a layup for a layup by Anderson.

Then Lamar missed a three-pointer, Shaq grabbed the rebound, missed the rebound, the ball was picked up by Grant, Atkinson took the ball to the front court and handed it to Scott Pippen, who was waiting in the corner, who made a decisive shot and accurately penetrated the Nets with three points.

Lamar, in turn, immediately returned the favor and hit another shot from beyond the three-point line.

Now the game has reached a white-hot stage, and the two sides have no concessions, but because Portland's main players have been rested one after another, the Lakers took the opportunity to pull the score away again.

73:84! The Lakers finally opened the score to a double-digit margin for the first time in the final stages of the game.

With just over two minutes left before the end of the game, it was Stoudemire, the re-entered flying squirrel, who was in possession of the ball.

Standing in front of him was still Chaunse, and both of them looked very focused on their expressions now, and they both knew very well that the final moment to decide the fate of both teams had arrived.

Seeing that he didn't have any good chances, the little flying squirrel handed the ball to the roaring Tianzun on the inside!

Lamar stared at Rashid Wallace closely, he was very tired now, every step was very difficult, sweat flowed into his eyes, the feeling made him very uncomfortable, but he didn't bother to wipe it, because he knew that Rashid Wallace was waiting for him to be distracted.

Suddenly Rashid Wallace moved, only to see him cut right and immediately step down to change hands and dribble, slightly deceived Lamar's center of gravity, and quickly cut to the left.

The speed of Rasheed Wallace's sudden outburst shocked Lamar, who had always thought that the other party's physical condition was not very good, but he didn't expect him to be so fast.

"Oops!"

Just as Lamar was about to turn sideways to block it, a sharp pain suddenly came up in his right foot, and in an instant, he fell to the ground.

"Lamar has cramps".

Phil Jackson held his head in his hands and looked at everything on the field in surprise, he has always regarded Lamar as the trump card in his hand, and always believed that even if his physical strength is exhausted, he can create miracles! But he forgot that Lamar is just a person after all, an ordinary person who will feel tired, no matter how powerful he is, there will be a day when his physical strength is exhausted.

"Oh my God, Lamar is okay, is he?" The aunt in the stands didn't care if the Los Angeles Lakers could win the final victory, and she was most concerned about whether her beloved nephew would be okay now.
