Chapter Seventy-One: The Man Who Decided the Game
The ball was handed over to Kobe Bryant again, and a murderous aura permeated the court, and Bowen and Ginobili's eyes flickered with cold light. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The role played by the wrap defense, the rhythm suddenly slowed down, Kobe Bryant was wandering on the outside with the ball, Duncan and Chamberlain's eyes were on him, and the eyes of the two were not very good.
Maybe the performance was enough, or maybe he lost the interest in provocation, Kobe Bryant actually passed the ball and passed it to the inside line - O'Neal, who had been waiting for a long time, the hatred of the "shark" had not subsided.
Seeing Kobe Bryant's pass, all the Spurs were taken aback, and Chamberlain, who was closest to O'Neal, was the first to react, and a sliding step to the basket was already rushing up.
"Jump", surprise "jump", this is the prelude to O'Neal to dunk, Chamberlain is inexplicably familiar with this scene, how did that happen?
At this time, O'Neill was terrified, and the same scene also appeared in his mind!
Popovich's eyes widened, his hands clasped tightly together, and he swallowed his saliva vigorously, breathing like a battered bellows.
He's been waiting for this moment to come, he's been waiting, long before this game starts, long before he first met Chamberlain!
And Phil Jackson, who also threw off his zazen pretense and got up from his chair all at once, he wanted to shout something, but the voice got stuck in his throat!
Is what he fears the most finally going to happen?
If time can be frozen, if time can be reversed, O'Neal will definitely calmly say to himself, be a low-key person, yes, now he wants to be low-key, he really doesn't want to dunk or something, but there is no if.
The evil wind struck, the damp forehead was cool for a while, Chamberlain's mind was even cooler, his spirit was more focused than ever, he waited, he looked forward to it, he wanted to open his mouth and shout: "Ravage me hard"!
The collision was not avoided, the same scene emerged, the thick elbow and the chest were tightly combined, the beating was very happy, the beating was very painful, the beating was tangled because of the pain, and the beating was even more tangled because of the pain!
The anxious referee is quite decisive, foul, offensive foul!
Chamberlain fell, O'Neill withered, the "Zen master" cried, Popovich got wet, and the rest of the people were all stunned!
Fouls, this hidden reef on the NBA court, overturned O'Neal and the Lakers. Two minutes into the third quarter, O'Neal fouled again. 4 offenders, he reluctantly slammed the basketball on the floor, and the trembling of the floor aroused greater cheers from the fans. The fans laughed heartlessly, and the mocking whistles were long and long.
"Is that what it means for you to stand on the pitch, poor Oriental?"
O'Neill's face was stiff and serious, and he stared coldly at Chamberlain, a suffocating atmosphere of terror suppressed on the court.
Malone rushed to O'Neill's side at this time: "Shaq, calm down, this is the game",
The growth of age made his fiery temper rational.
"Shaq, do you want to be banned!"
The "Zen Master" roared loudly and made a gesture for a substitution.
Opposite O'Neill, Chamberlain, who had just stood up, ignored O'Neill's glare, and gently wiped his dripping forehead.
"Are you blaming me, poor stupid fellow!"
Chamberlain's tone at this time seemed to be light-hearted without a little shame.
"Are you playing? Bastard, what are you going to do but perform?"
The referee, who was unwilling to continue to develop his gaffe, blocked the two people, and Malone dragged O'Neal to the court, but he couldn't stop O'Neal's words full of grief and indignation, and the anger broke through his throat, covering the bustling audience, resounding throughout the basketball hall.
"I'll do better than you, you lump of meat you can't afford to lose!"
O'Neill's roar turned Chamberlain's hidden guilt into anger, and he blushed and loudly responded to O'Neill as he walked away.
On the Spurs' side, Popovich also began to make substitutions at this time, with the long-awaited Nesterovic and Lakers center Byron Russell, who has two great names, come on together.
After O'Neal went off the field, Chamberlain also came off the pitch, and he was out of breath and received enthusiastic applause from the fans.
Whatever the way, the fate of a warrior is to defend the position, and if Chamberlain does it, of course, he will be rewarded.
The cheers of the crowd made Chamberlain's unwilling heart improve, and he raised his arms in response to the fans, passing the substitute Nesterovich, who both treated the other as air.
Manpower is sometimes poor, after O'Neal went off the court, the Lakers entered singles mode again, Kobe Bryant was sharp, impacting the Spurs' interior again and again, but the broken wound always couldn't stop the surging bloodflow, and the score was gradually expanded, two points, five points, nine points, thirteen....
In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers began to sink uncontrollably, and the cheers of the audience were like non-stop waves, slapping the hull of the doomed ship again and again.
In the fourth quarter, the Spurs, who didn't want to let the victory in hand slip away, frequently used hand-to-hand combat to tightly control the lead. Time passed slowly, and when the game was interrupted, the score difference did not become smaller, and the "Zen master" who knew that he was no longer able to return to the sky was replaced by a substitute. The Lakers announced their waiver.
The final score was 87:78, and the Spurs won a hard-won victory in the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain".
In this game, Duncan got 21 points and 21 boards of super luxury data, beating O'Neal and Malone to defend the SBC arena home again, but this data was ignored by the media, and their attention was all shifted to Chamberlain.
At the press conference after the game, in front of the noisy reporters, Popovich, who was holding the microphone, talked eloquently, without hiding his pride, "I am very happy to win this game, it is the result of the joint efforts of the whole team." The Lakers are a strong team and it's an honor to beat them."
"I feel very sorry for the Spurs' performance today, they played in the dirtiest way, in the face of an enemy they couldn't beat, they could only use dirty little moves, not only Bowen, but also the rookie in China, like a refurbished old car in a scrap yard, not being able to walk smoothly became his only advantage."
The voice of the "Zen master" was very sad, and the tone was like attending a funeral.
"Remind Mr. Jackson that superstars can't trample on the rules recklessly." Popovich seems quite experienced in this regard, and the Spurs' victory is never because of anyone's outburst, and dense defense is the root of their constant victory.
"Rules, well, rules, hopefully you can say the same at Staples Arena." The "Zen Master" finally got angry, put aside the depressed wind and clouds, brushed his sleeves away, and Kobe Bryant, who came with him, also left without saying a word.
