Chapter 220: Impeccable Lore
This game is a dilemma for referee Mr. Steve Jarvey, on the one hand, he must create some problems for the Lakers according to the league's instructions, and on the other hand, he must also master the scale, because if he does too much, the league is estimated to not be able to save him after the game. At the end of the second quarter, Jarvey even wanted to tell the SuperSonics players that you can be more aggressive, and whether the defensive action should not be so big, you must know that he has to struggle for a long time every time he makes a penalty.
Liu Han's supernatural performance in the second quarter of the game made many Seattle spectators on the sidelines silently watch the game, although Liu Han is now recognized as the three-point king in the entire league, but only by watching the game can he feel the horror of his three-point, like a deadly throwing knife that shoots, each of which is accurately inserted into the throat of the Supersonic team.
At halftime, the head coach of the SuperSonics, George Carr, pulled his hair in distress, and the hair that had a tendency to be bald fell out a lot under the unintentional pull of his fingers.
"Get him down, do everything you can to get him down, try to lean on that guy when everyone attacks, the referee is on our side today, if you can't do it, use some means, leave this matter to me." Peyton, who was originally a ruffian, was unexpectedly full of murder and solemnity when he spoke at this time. It's been 8 seasons since he entered the league, but Gary Payton hasn't even seen the shadow of a championship, he doesn't want to be like some old guys, carrying a reputation of no championship and being pitiful after retiring, for the championship, Payton, who used to be a gangster, feels that he can do anything.
After halftime, the Lakers switched to the starting lineup, but Nash was replaced, and he was on the court except for a break in the first quarter.
Liu Han controlled the ball and launched the Lakers' first offense.
O'Neal played extremely irritable today, he was often taken care of by the opponent on the inside, and like Liu Han, he had already committed three fouls after playing the first half.
O'Neal took the initiative to cover Liu Han on the outside, and then Liu Han did not project on the outside like in the first half, but dribbled the ball into the inside, and this sudden breakthrough made the SuperSonics a little flustered. In the previous second quarter games, Liu Han was outside the three-point line, which made the SuperSonics players fall into a little stereotype, thinking that Liu Han would not break through, but Liu Han did the opposite.
After breaking into the interior line, Liu Han's eyes were empty, but Payton followed closely behind Liu Han, and he did not give up defense easily.
When Liu Han took the ball, the afterglow of his eyes swept Peyton's gaze, and he felt a murderous aura from that look, which made Liu Han have to be careful, but his movements did not pause at all, and he jumped directly with his right hand to dunk.
Peyton gritted his teeth behind Liu Han, and after he saw Liu Han jump into the air, he also jumped up from behind Liu Han and made a blocking motion, but in fact, his left hand was covertly pushed towards Liu Han's waist to keep his body balanced.
Originally, Peyton was likely to fly out of the field directly because of this, and there was a possibility of injury, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Han's waist was as slippery as a fish's body, when he pushed Liu Han's waist, Liu Han moved his waist to the side with his thrust, and his whole body turned one hundred and eighty degrees in the air, and then the ball in his right hand was withdrawn and handed to his left hand, and after holding the ball in his left hand, he twisted it gently, and the ball jumped up like a small fish and fell into the net. And Peyton, who was behind Liu Han, made his body fly directly out of the court because of his forward thrust.
Liu Han completely teased Payton with a juggling action, this ball is usually blown by the referee to add penalties, but Jia Wei put the whistle in his mouth for a long time and did not blow it, of course, he did not dare to judge that this ball was Liu Han's foul, because this ball is really beautiful, it will definitely be replayed by the TV station over and over again after the game, Jia Wei does not want to be a negative teaching material.
Liu Han glanced back at Peyton, who had fallen to the ground, and smiled contemptuously.
Peyton was directly excited by Liu Han's laughter, and he even wanted to punch this guy right now.
Although Liu Han used a wonderful layup at the beginning of the third quarter to extend the gap to more than 10 points, the SuperSonics began to dominate in the following games.
First of all, in the offense, the SuperSonics held the ball every time and rushed towards Liu Han and O'Neal like a charge, and the SuperSonics felt that as long as they beat these two down, the Lakers would be useless.
Their ploy paid off with the help of referee Javi, starting with O'Neal picking up a fourth foul less than six minutes into the third quarter, and George Krent rushing to replace O'Neal for insurance.
Then, it was Payton again, he deliberately jumped up against Liu Han's body in the offense, Jarway's whistle sounded directly as if it was well coordinated, Liu Han counted one foul in the second quarter, and now it is also four fouls, so he also had to go to rest, the Lakers' offense and defense fell into chaos after missing the two most important cores, and the SuperSonics took the opportunity to launch an offensive climax, tying the score and overtaking at the end of the third quarter.
George Krent, who was next to the linesman, protested and said that a game like this was unfair to the Lakers, but the referee was like a puppet and didn't say anything.
'Hold on, boys, don't care about the other factors on the field, there is still one quarter left, what we need to do is play our own game, as for the rest, there will be a public opinion after the game, and the most important thing now is that we need to win the game, this game, only a victory is worthy of our performance.' George Krent said to the team after the third quarter. He is now afraid that these young people will not be able to control their temper and have some conflicts on the field, which will affect the future games.
Liu Han once again glanced at the SuperSonics' bench and referee Steve Javi with contemptuous eyes, he felt that these people did not deserve to make him angry, and he must win this game.
After the start of the fourth quarter, Liu Han and O'Neal appeared one after another, and they began to pay attention to their actions in defense, and the SuperSonics are likely to continue to use their tricks, and now Liu Han and O'Neal do not want to go off the court again. While this may make the Lakers' defense flawed, the Lakers have not been fed by defense all along, and their greatest strength is their unmatched offensive power.
Sure enough, the SuperSonics team kept attacking Liu Han and O'Neal at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but in such an atmosphere now, referee Jarvi didn't dare to do too much, and some particularly obvious actions to deliberately find fouls Jarvey ignored.
The Lakers regained their rhythm after having Liu Han and O'Neal in the offense, and Liu Han once again turned into a mobile battery, he didn't go to the three-point line at all, but just ran outside the three-point line, so it was difficult for the SuperSonics to make fouls.
However, the SuperSonics took advantage of the Lakers' defensive loopholes to ensure their offensive efficiency and maintained a five-point lead, while the Lakers, despite their strong firepower, were never able to catch up with the score, and the game fell into a stalemate. (To be continued.) )
