Chapter 420: Battle!

"Little fish! Why are your feet shaking? ”

"Ahh I'm not me, no don't talk nonsense! ”

The Great Western Forum Arena was even more boiling than in the regular season, when Kobe Bryant was the first to play and won the sound of a landslide and tsunami, the Lakers players who played behind Kobe Bryant felt the frenzy of the atmosphere!

The love on the faces of Lakers fans for the team's players is undisguised! It was this group of young players who elevated the Lakers from the gloom of Magic's retirement to a strong contender for the championship.

This makes Lakers fans very proud!

Right! That's right! The magician and the heavenly hook are old!

But we now have Shaq and Kobe!

We also have the top coach of American professional basketball, Silver Fox Harris!

And a whole bunch of dedicated role players!

With this sense of well-being, Lakers fans chanted indulgently. This season has achieved far more than they imagined, and everyone in the Lakers, from top to bottom, deserves this cheer and deserves these respects.

This made almost all the players of the Lakers walk out of the player tunnel, and everyone is excited! Even the legs of the little fish are trembling slightly!

For the sake of such fans, dare not serve to die?

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I'm Elwin! Your old friends! ”

"Hi guys, I'm Grant Hill." Hill was invited by ABC to partner with Magic to narrate the game. Of course, Stern will not let him stay at home to fish, and even if the team is eliminated, he will be invited to participate in the Western Conference Finals, which has been almost the hottest in recent years.

"Grant! Hey, what have you been up to lately? ”

"Train, rest. It's a little unaccustomed to the days when there are no games. ”

"Ever considered joining the Lakers? THEN THE LAKERS WILL FORM A STRONGER SHOWTIME! You will never be short of balls to play~" The Magic enthusiastically reminded Hill Amley of joining the Lakers, and Stern looked at the black line in the office.

This guy, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't hold any position with the Lakers, would have been punished to death!

But the Magic is now just an unemployed vagrant, and the rules of American basketball do not control him.

Hill smiled bitterly, although he wanted to play in the division finals, it was too much to hug his thighs and join the Lakers. In that way, the Lakers will have three superstars, and the American professional basketball will really usher in the finale, and the league will not be able to let this happen.

A powerful version of SHOWTIME is probably enough to win 10 championships after the 84 generation gets old!

But that kind of championship is not what Hill wants.

"Let's take a look at the lineups on both sides, the Lakers starters, PG Kobe, Bryant, SG, Eddie Jones, SF, Bruce, Bowen, PF, Elden, Campbell, C, Shaq O'Neal." Hill quickly brought the conversation back to the game itself.

"Houston starters: PG Clyde Drexler, SG Jim Jackson, SF, Mario Aley, PF, Charles Barkley, C Hakeem, Olajuwon."

"Neither side risked a change of lineup, and of course the Lakers' No. 4 position is one that I personally feel is very likely to adjust. Campbell is too modest, after this game, if the Lakers lose, the first thing they will adjust is to replace the power forward with Robert Horry, who has more offensive ability, or Daben, who has stronger defensive ability, depending on Harris's judgment of the situation. ”

The referee for the match was Crawford, who was brought in by Stern to take control.

Barkley's big words and grappling, Stern didn't want to see it a second time, it was too rude and barbaric!

Although Crawford has blown Kobe Bryant off the court and been warned internally, he is always an ironclad judgment that all players are a little afraid of! The significance of Stern letting him blow this game is self-evident, that is, to protect the Lakers!

"Watch your movements! I'll be keeping an eye on you! Don't play tricks!" Crawford fiercely warned the players on the field one by one, there are not many referees in the league who dare not sell the face of these superstars, and Crawford is definitely the most famous.

Barkley didn't care about that, and when he found an opportunity, he viciously said to Kobe: "Wonder boy, your magic ends here." If you don't want to break your leg, don't go into the restricted area! ”

Kobe snorted disdainfully.

Bowen's face turned grim by two points.

Crawford tosses the ball high into the air, and Olajuwon and O'Neill both jump at the same time!

The basketball was touched by the fingertips of two men almost at the same time, and then it was clicked again, flying into the air.

O'Neill didn't seem to expect the 34-year-old Olajuwon to jump so high! The second jump was noticeably slower, and Olajuwon brought the ball to the Houston half.

"Excellent jump ball play! Olajuwon won this jump! ”

"O'Neill's big weight still doesn't make his second jump great."

Drexler receives the ball, and the rest of the Rockets push slowly.

Kobe Bryant tried to press directly in the middle circle LOGO!

Kobe's pressing did not make the old Drexler panic, and with the advantage of his height, he passed a high ball to Jim Jackson to complete the transition, and then received the ball twice at the three-point line to organize the offense.

Olajuwon and Ross Barkley played an inside cross screen in the low post, and then Olajuwon used the cover to pull away one of O'Neal's positions and complete the ball on the side.

Drexler's pass Kobe tried his best to interfere, but it didn't work, and the high lob was passed safely into Olajuwon's hands.

"Steady! Olajuwon knew that he was already behind O'Neal in terms of strength, and instead of forcing the ball, Barkley played a pick-and-roll. Even if the magician is an opponent, he praised.

"Clyde's lob pass made the most of his strengths, and Bryant's two attempts at steals ended in failure, so Bryant has to be careful not to use his energy too much on these unnecessary tackles."

Olajuwon holds the ball with his back and leans slightly against O'Neal.

"Let the horses come! Old guys! O'Neill's expression was excited, he had waited too long for this day.

Olajuwon's shoulders trembled slightly!

"Left! Or right! O'Neal remembered what Kobe Bryant taught him on how to defend his fantasy footwork, and he didn't waver in his patience and stood in place.

"Hey, I'm smart." Olajuwon turned sideways to try to walk, O'Neill was still unmoved, if it was O'Neill two years ago, he would have been shaken off at this time.

"Don't jump? Can you prevent it without jumping? ”

Olajuwon step back!

A center forward with an official height of 2.13 meters and an actual height of at least 2.10 meters jumps backwards!

Then a super fast action completes the shot!

"So fast!" O'Neal didn't have time to react at all, coupled with Olajuwon's super high shot.

The basketball is energetic and falls into the hoop.

2:0!

Houston came out on top.
