Lakers 98:101 Heat.

The Heat entered the fourth quarter with a narrow three-point lead, and Pat Riley was relieved. Although Bryant was like a god in the third quarter, he broke Mashburn in both offensive and defensive sections. He scored 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting. But that's not a big deal, both sides scored more than 30 points in each quarter of this game, and the higher the score, the smaller the role of the superstar.

For example, a game is 78:81. If a star can score 30 points, close to half of the points, then the star is dominant in the game, and it can be said that he can decide the outcome of the game by himself.

And in one game both sides scored 145:148. The star also scored 30 points, so it can be said that it will not make too many waves for the game, even if there is no star, other players can still score.

The role of the star is to step up and dominate the game when his teammates are unable to score, and the more difficult it is to score, the more precious the star's score is and the more influential it is on the game.

In a high-scoring game, the role of the star's score is significantly reduced.

In this game, Pat Riley believes that if the Lakers continue to maintain such an offensive rhythm, Kobe's scoring efficiency is still the same as in the third quarter, then the scoring ability of the Big Three of the Hot Team under the SHOWTIME system must be greater than that of the Lakers.

Even though Mashburn was blocked, Tim Hardaway gradually showed signs of recovery under Eddie Jones' defense, scoring eight points in the third quarter.

And the team's center, the tough guy Amozo Monen, the winner of this game, has scored 37 points and 12 rebounds on 14-of-19 and 9-of-10 free throws.

Mourning's scoring explosiveness is not bad at all, and he is one of the few interior players who can score 50 points. Last season, the 95-96 season, he scored 50 points, 12 rebounds, 45 points and 11 rebounds, and 40 points and 13 rebounds. 1 50+ and 2 40+ in a single season. In this game, Mo Ning scored 40+ steadily, and even had a very good chance of scoring 50 points again.

No matter how efficient Kobe Bryant is, can he compare to Mourning, who all his shots are concentrated under the basket? Pat Riley doesn't think so.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides did not probe or rest, and directly threw all the starters onto the court.

Decisive battle! It's been from the fourth quarter!

The Lakers' five-small lineup did not play a big role in the third quarter, when Pat Riley adjusted his defensive tactics and no longer included Kobe, then the Lakers' five-small lineup did not have the shooting space created by Kobe, and their own defensive problems were infinitely magnified, which led to the team being overtaken by the Heat again.

Harris decided to put Campbell and Ben Wallace's traditional double interior line, and even this interior defense can't keep Mourning, but it's better than a short, soft combination like Big Ben and Horry.

"Kobe, what's the point of you getting more points? Your team can't beat our SHOWTIME system after all. Mashburn mumbled inside his mouth, sticking to Kobe's side.

Kobe Bryant's expression was natural, he had seen too many winds and waves, and Marshburn's provocation was even more drizzle.

The game continued, and the ball possession in the fourth quarter was the Heat's.

Bryant returned to the position of defending Tim Hardaway, and the benefits of defending Mashburn didn't look good, and it was more important to strangle Tim Hardaway as the team's engine.

The Heat's offense in the fourth quarter was mainly instigated by Tim Hardaway and Mourning, and the Lakers struggled to defend it, and Tim Hardaway's short size made his blocking and pick-and-roll very threatening. Kobe Bryant could only ensure that he did not lose his position, and there was no way to interfere with Mourning's catch and score under the basket.

Campbell and Ben Wallace both switched Mourning several times, but the results didn't make much difference. Mourning can crush Campbell with strength, and when he meets Ben Wallace, he uses his height advantage to complete the attack.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant is still the main offensive arrow to break through the ball. With some off-ball runs from Eddie Jones, hand to hand, and empty cuts to the basket.

The shooting outside the three-point line was focused on by the Heat, and Mourning defended the basket with a pillar. Most of the Lakers' offensive options are limited to the mid-range, which is the least efficient means of scoring.

The scoring efficiency of the Lakers is still not as good as that of the Heat.

The Heat's offensive wave under the SHOWTIME system was one after another, and Mashburn was also alive after Kobe Bryant chose to defend Tim Hardaway, who was blown up by Kobe on the defensive end, and he found his way back on the offensive end.

Little by little, the Lakers' score was pulled apart.

From 3 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, it has reached 6 points in the middle of the fourth quarter, and in the last 2 minutes, the difference has reached 8 points.

Los Angeles Lakers 117:125 Miami Heat!

“120：125！ The key killer Kobe's last-minute scoring ability is still so terrifying! Are you scared at Pat Riley? ”

Tim Hardaway carefully dribbled the ball across half court, and Bryant didn't choose to press! He is still very cautious about this top star-level guard like Hardaway, Kobe Bryant is young, but he is very old! ”

"Hardaway tosses the ball high to Mourning, and Kobe yells to cheer Ben Wallace!"

Ben Wallace held Mo Ning firmly with his unicorn arm, but it was useless! Mourning's turn made Ben Wallace's power fall into the air! Campbell assists in defense! Mo Ning's two defenses are strong! ”

"Score! 120：127！ ”

"Lakers serve the baseline ball! Kobe Bryant rushed to the Heat halfcourt! Mashburn stepped forward to defend, and Kobe Bryant dribbled behind the ball past Mashburn again! ”

"Mashburn is so bulky! He was at a loss in front of Kobe! ”

"Kobe Bryant goes to the basket! Tim Hardaway also retreated in time! ”

"Kobe Bryant takes to the air! Dim Hardaway can't stop Kobe! ”

"The new All-Star Slam Dunk King! Jump! Vacated! Stretch and dunk the ball into the basket with one hand! ”

"Tim Hardaway ran out of the bottom line for the first time, which has to be said to be a wise choice!"

“122：127！ Will the Lakers be able to complete the comeback in the final moments? With Kobe, anything is possible! ”
