Chapter 221: Impeccable Lore

When the game entered the last four minutes of the fourth quarter, the SuperSonics still led by four points, which was not a big advantage, but the SuperSonics always maintained the lead, and they have been taking advantage of the fact that the Lakers' defense did not dare to move too much to attack the Lakers' interior.

Liu Han still maintains his strong outside firepower, which is not a small pressure on the SuperSonics, Payton has been looking for an opportunity to find a way to get Liu Han down, but he has never found a suitable opportunity, he has to consider his own way to get Liu Han down, he is going for the championship, and he can't be banned for deliberately injuring Liu Han. Although Payton now knows very well that the referees are facing them today, Liu Han is one of the number one stars in the league after all, and there is a certain number of fans not only in the United States, but also around the world.

However, Peyton felt that Liu Han was as slippery as an old ruffian who had experienced more than ten years of ball games, and he wanted to make a black hand several times, but Liu Han avoided it.

The SuperSonics attacked, with less than 4 minutes left, and as long as they guaranteed the success rate of the next attack, they had a good chance of winning this victory.

Payton held the ball to face Nash's defense, he turned around again and played with his back, facing Nash, who was not as tall and heavy as him, Payton would not give up the opportunity to play alone.

Nash has been defending Payton since the second half, and although he has been fortunate to defend it, he has been persevering, and the football training he has experienced since childhood has taught him to be determined at all times.

Payton dribbled abruptly, then shook off the out-of-center Nash with a forward change of direction, then led it inside and hit a pull-up jump shot before Michael Finley could make a stop-and-go jumper, and the deficit widened to six points.

George Krent no longer protested to the referees off the court, he had a lot of confidence in the fact that this game was not bad, and in the face of pressure from many sides, the Lakers' performance in this game was good enough, and he could not guarantee that he would win this game. However, George feels that this is a good opportunity to train the players, and in the face of such pressure, as long as the players can play at a normal level, even if this game is lost, George feels that the Lakers will definitely win the next game.

After Nash dribbled the ball through the half, he relied on Horry's cover to avoid Jose Hawkins, and then suddenly a behind-the-back dribble passed to Liu Han, who had already relied on O'Neal to cover and run back to the outside.

Behind Liu Han, Peyton was blocked by O'Neal, but he quickly bypassed O'Neal and continued to chase Liu Han.

Liu Han was about to shoot after receiving the ball, but as soon as his preparation was made, Payton had already jumped up and was ready to block, so Liu Han took the opportunity to retract the shot, and he didn't jump again until Payton landed.

But the SuperSonics' defense of Liu Han is really very tight, after Payton is out of position, the defense of Horry's Wenbeck has been in place, and in the eyes of the SuperSonics, Liu Han's three points are the biggest threat.

In the face of the tight defense in front of him, Liu Han did not make a strong breakthrough, nor did he have any large movements, just a simple hit to the ground, and passed the ball to the vacant Horry.

Horry's range is to the three-point line, although it is not too accurate on the three-point line, but when there is no one within two meters in front of him, he can still guarantee a shooting rate of more than 70%.

Horry made a knife down to close the gap to three points again.

This ball completely reflects Liu Han's role in the Lakers team, in the previous three quarters of the game, Liu Han used his amazing shooting rate to make the SuperSonics have to defend him tightly, if he is a conceited person, such a defense may make his shooting rate drop, but Liu Han has never been a selfish person, he is happy to pass, and he is also very good at passing, so in this case, any team that wants to beat the Lakers can only think about how to fight with the Lakers to attack, because the defense must not be prevented.

The SuperSonics were hit hard by this three-point shot, they worked hard to get two points, and the Lakers easily scored three points, and anyone will have a sense of loss.

However, Payton is indeed a tough guy, and although he has always been a bit of a ruffian, as a good professional player, there is still some perseverance that should be there. Payton kept yelling at his frustrated teammates, reminding them to take the game seriously.

The SuperSonics regrouped and prepared to attack, Payton met Nash's full-court pressing when he dribbled in the backcourt, and the Lakers suddenly changed the pace of defense and played a tight man-to-man defense against the SuperSonics. This is a tactic arranged by George Krent, the operator is Liu Han, who will be extremely concentrated after going to the court, as long as Liu Han makes a prompt, the Lakers will change their previous defensive strategy, suddenly increase the pressure on the opponent, and the average team will inadvertently make mistakes.

However, Payton is a veteran player who has been honed by eight seasons after all, he smoothly carried the ball through the halfcourt, then relied on the cover of center Jim McYlvain to shake off the defensive Nash, and then passed a very accurate ground pass to Schramf who ran out of the open space, and the German did not disappoint Payton, stepping on the three-point line in the bottom corner to hit a two-pointer to extend the gap to five points again.

There are less than three minutes left before the end of the game, the Lakers are still five points behind, it seems that their chances of winning this game are not big, the SuperSonics will pull one back at home, but Liu Han is not willing to give up like this, if the other party is relying on his own real strength to defeat his Liu Han will admit it, but now the other party is relying on unconventional means to gain an advantage, which in Liu Han's view is a stain on what he loves most.

The Lakers continued to attack, and Liu Han dribbled the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

The rest of the Lakers' players quickly settled into position, and they knew that Liu Han was going to take over the game. Liu Han has always been influenced by stability, teamwork, and precision, but in fact, those who have been in contact with Liu Han for a long time will find that this guy is actually a very stubborn person, and his body contains an incomparable desire to win.

Liu Han dribbled in the face of Payton's single defense, he suddenly accelerated the pace of dribbling, made a move to break through to the right, attracted Payton's attention, and then pulled out his hand without the slightest hesitation. Payton's reaction was very fast, ready to pull Liu Han down, but Liu Han's shot this time was different from usual, when Peyton's hand was about to pull Liu Han's left arm, he threw the ball out in a throwing way, in the eyes of others, this was Liu Hanbo's foul action, but only people who have been training with Liu Han for a long time know that this guy deliberately shot like this.

The basketball crossed a parabola with a very large arc in the air and plunged into the net from a near-vertical position above the basket for an unbelievable three-point shot.

Peyton couldn't help but want to applaud the ball, and the others didn't know, but he knew very well that Liu Han's action just now was deliberate.

The gap was narrowed to two points, and the Lakers had hopes of a comeback.

The supersonic team was hit hard by Liu Han's non-human three-point shot, and the nerves that had been tense had been stretched to the maximum at this time, and there was a danger of collapse in the next moment.

However, Payton withstood the pressure and burst to the basket to draw a foul on an inexperienced Nash, and after hitting two free throws, the SuperSonics led by four points again.

At this point in the game, with less than two minutes left before the end, the Seattle fans in the stadium stood up to cheer on the home team, and the pressure on the Lakers began to increase.

At the critical moment, George Krent once again replaced the veteran Dell Curry and replaced Nash, who was no longer effective.

Liu Han dribbled the ball to the front court after regaining control of the ball, and this time the SuperSonics Payton defended Liu Han, and Jose Hawkins beside him has been eyeing the tiger.

However, Liu Han was very sober in his mind at this time, now that the Lakers are four points behind, the opponent will not let himself easily get regular points even if he sends himself to the free throw line, although Liu Han is no different from sending points to the free throw line.

Liu Han didn't rush to start breaking or shooting, he waited until his teammates were in position and reached out to signal for cover.

Horry mentioned outside cover, which attracted the attention of the SuperSonics, and then Liu Han shot from three people and about two meters from the three-point line. The very abrupt action left the SuperSonics players without the slightest reaction.

It was another stunning three-point shot, but with a slight difference, the SuperSonics fans are now silent.

The gap in the score has narrowed to one point, and now the pressure is on the side of the supersonic team, of course, the pressure on our referee Mr. Steve Javi is not small, at the last moment, he did not dare to blow the whistle rashly, and now any wrong penalty may make him ruined, the previous ones are all trivial, as long as the league makes a force, it will definitely be whitewashed, but at the last moment it is still blowing the whistle, then it is estimated that his career will not be able to continue.

The players of the SuperSonics are now starting to get a little nervous, and the 72-year-old center McYrvain is starting to tremble a little at this point.

Under great pressure, the SuperSonics made a mistake, and the German Schramf, who was originally a veteran, suddenly got out of his hands when receiving the ball, although the ball was finally touched by Finley, who struggled to steal, touched the sideline, but the SuperSonics had less than 4 seconds left to attack.
