Chapter 136: The Fourth Section Begins
After the boredom of the second half of the third quarter, after the start of the fourth quarter, when Shaq O'Neal and Jason Green appeared on the court at the same time, not only the audience cheered, but also the howl of Charles Barkley was heard in the ann broadcast seat, who was in charge of commentary. www.biquge.info"It seems that today's ratings can be maintained!" ”
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers were still 11 points behind, not without the possibility of a reversal, this was not a desperate point difference, the ball was on the side of the Clippers, Jason Green stood outside the bottom line, waiting for the referee whistle to send the bottom ball, Billups was inside the bottom line, waiting to pass and receive the ball, and the other players were already standing in the half, Shak O'Neal has calmed down now, but only he knows the real thoughts in his heart, Jason Green himself is a heartless person, although he is now more mature, But the nature of the country is easy to change, this will be the same as no one, and there is even a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the previous conflict has been 'forgotten' by him.
The Clippers made some slight changes to the lineup in the fourth quarter, Stephen Jackson did not play, it was Bruce Bowen who stayed on the court, the game has come to an end, the Clippers led by 11 points, Bill Fitch began to strengthen his defense in the fourth quarter, and as the referee's whistle sounded, Jason Green handed the basketball to Billups, Billups also proved it, dribbling the ball and walking forward, and by the time he reached the three-point line, the Clippers' offensive time had used 15 seconds, There are only 10 seconds left to attack.
Billups dribbled the ball slowly and leisurely, shaking on the outside, but Fisher didn't dare to be careless, and the big sideways kept moving back and forth with Billups, Tiger was originally wandering around the free throw line, and suddenly a feint changed direction, shook off Kobe's defense, quickly came to Billups's side, and Billups made a cooperation, after receiving the basketball, he went to the basket to kill, Fox immediately came over to make up for the defense, Tiger was not strong, stopped and jumped, passed the basketball to the right rear, outside the three-point line on the right side of the court, at a 45-degree angle, Bruce Bowen was completely empty in front of him, Bruce Bowen took the ball and shot, this is his best offensive method, but the basketball did not go in, smashed on the basket, bounced high, Jason Green was still outside the three-second zone, Wright had already stuck the rebounding position, Shaq O'Neal easily knocked Wright out with his body, but it was still too late, Jason Green jumped directly outside the three-second zone, his body slid forward, although the distance was not enough, but with a light touch of his fingers, he still made up for the basketball.
Bruce Bowen has always been good at defense, and he is often ignored on the offensive end, but there are not many offensive means, but he is not completely without offensive ability, he has an empty three-point shot, of course, compared with Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, these killers, are much worse, but as long as there is a strong rebounding guarantee, Bruce Bowen can still play a good shooting ability, and if he can't shoot, he will pass the ball, what if he gets in?
The Clippers scored the ball, the difference between the two sides came to 13 points, the Lakers attacked, compared with the slow offense of the Clippers, the Lakers were obviously in a hurry, Fisher quickly dribbled the ball forward, the Lakers players who stood in a good position at half court stretched out their hands again, Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant asked for the ball at the same time again, Fisher handed the basketball to Shak O'Neal on the inside again, Kobe Bryant did not put down his hand this time, he was still holding up the ball, Shak O'Neal did not pay attention to Kobe, but played strongly under the basket, This time, Wright also came over to pinch Shaq O'Neal, not giving Shaq O'Neal a chance to enter the basket at all.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, Bill Fitch deliberately assigned a new defensive task, sandwiching Shak O'Neal and Kobe, which can empty a Lakers player, the game has been played so far, after the previous conflict, many people's mentality has been problematic, especially the Lakers, they are the defending champions, they are the kings of Los Angeles, they are superstars, and therefore they are more willful, and they will definitely fight back and save face.
Jason Green has the advantage of strength and is responsible for the main defense, Wright is mainly responsible for the package and assist defense, after Shak O'Neal tried, he found that he could not break through the defense of the two, and his shooting ability is not generally poor, he is more mature than Kobe, and finally did not force the shot, and passed the basketball to Kobe Bryant, who has been reaching out for the ball, Shak O'Neal has not had an opinion on Kobe Bryant in this period, the contradiction between the two has not yet broken out, Shak O'Neal himself is not a person who holds grudges or calculates, on the contrary, his personality is very cheerful, After Kobe Bryant received the pass, Tiger immediately came over and formed a pinching situation with Bruce Bowen, and directly let go of Fox, Kobe Bryant kept trying to dribble the ball, but he couldn't find a chance to break through, seeing that the Lakers' offensive time was running out, Fox also raised his hand to ask for the ball, and his front was completely empty, but Kobe Bryant still chose to shoot on the spot.
This shot was a little too hard, smashed on the rebound, and rebounded out, and was picked up by Billups lucky, Tiger immediately started, turned around and ran, after Kobe Bryant landed, he didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly chased after Tiger, but Billups didn't throw the basketball to Tiger, but handed the basketball to Jason, and the Lakers players around him wanted to run to the backcourt, and took the basketball from Jason's return pass again, advancing slowly, and a fast break opportunity was completely wasted.
"Oh! Chance, Tiger Washington has started quickly, and Kobe Bryant has caught up. no! Billups didn't choose to move fast, he handed the basketball to Jason a little too much, and the Clippers' fast break would be gone. York explained in an excited voice and passionately.
"There's nothing wrong with that, and after the start of the fourth quarter, the Clippers' tactics changed significantly, sending Bruce Bowen to strengthen the defense, and the offense was slowed down, and now that they're ahead, Coach Bilfitch is starting to steady, which is the most reasonable way to finish." Rick Barry uses basketball theory to give the answer.
"There's nothing wrong with the Clippers doing that, but they shouldn't have given up such a good opportunity to break the game, they just had a chance to extend the score again, and I think Coach Billups and Bill Fitch are a little too conservative." Charles Barkley objected.
"Charles, you also said that there is a chance, but not every fast break can be successful, the fast break of the Clippers just now is not completely dominant, Stephen Jackson is not on the court, Bruce Bowen's speed is obviously not enough, Kobe Bryant has quickly returned to the defense, instead of risking the fast attack, it is better to advance steadily like now, which can not only use the game time most reasonably, but also ensure the success rate of the offense, and the current Clippers have no need to take risks." Rick Barry is more supportive of the Clippers' quest for stability. (To be continued.) )
