Bryant stepped to the free throw line and hit both free throws steadily.

He's furious, but he's still in great form, and he's the only one in the league.

The Lakers' offense, O'Neal played the same as in the last game, and Sun Hao shot with three points after blocking and dismantling.

"Huh!"

Unlike the last game, Sun Hao showed an extremely good competitive state at the beginning!

This also drew a burst of cheers from the audience.

In the last game, Sun Hao didn't start well, and the Lakers won a big game.

Now that Sun Hao has a feel at the beginning, the Lakers will easily advance tonight!

But immediately, they realized that they were thinking a little simpler.

Because Kobe Bryant rushed inside again, and scored a layup after dodging O'Neal in the air!

Kobe Bryant started with a strong desire to attack, and like the second and third games, he had a very high tendency to attack the basket and a high scoring conversion rate.

Is Kobe Bryant getting stronger?

Yes and no.

He's been a little bit better because of his anger, but it's more because of that foul.

After O'Neal received a foul in the opening game, the aggression on the defensive end inevitably decreased.

Because if he gets a second foul, he's going to have to be forced off.

Sun Hao realized something and called both O'Neill and Malone to his side.

"Carl, you go to the basket more to help defend, Kobe Bryant just wants to make a foul on Shaq tonight."

Sun Hao's meaning is very clear, O'Neal 2 committed = O'Neal is not on the scene = O'Neill is injured.

In other words, Kobe, or Johns's idea, is to pull the strength of both sides back to the second and third games.

Because in that case, the head-to-head record between them and the Lakers is 1-1.

Even because Sun Hao can't be 50+ per game, as well as a targeted defensive strategy, the Mavericks have a bigger chance of winning than the Lakers.

Malone nodded.

In terms of game experience, he is much better than Sun Hao, but in terms of smell on the court, Sun Hao, a player with a Hall of Fame basketball IQ, is more keen.

The Lakers' offense, Sun Hao and O'Neal played blocking and dismantling again, this time the Mavericks sandwiched Sun Hao, and Sun Hao stuffed the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal received the ball and attacked the basket directly, and Nowitzki, who was facing the defense in the breakthrough, turned to the basket with a large turn, and smashed the ball directly into the basket with one hand!

Really flexible big fat man!

Nowitzki was stunned, O'Neal's flexibility that didn't match his size, and he could have experienced the feeling of Duncan in the Western Conference semifinals.

This is bullying!

Kobe Bryant, then broke through the basket with the ball, and in the face of O'Neal, he took the initiative to find a confrontation in the air Vanessa must be very happy and leaned back!

But at the moment he made a move, Malone came from the weak side and shot from behind Kobe.

"Bang!"

In the stunned eyes of the fans at the scene, Malone assisted in the defense and flew Kobe's shot cover out of the court!

In the next second, the Staples Center was in a state of boiling.

O'Neal and Malone, this is working together to cover Kobe!

This passage makes people reverie just by listening to it.

You must know that the Lakers F4 was inextricably involved last season, and the three protagonists were O'Neal, Mark and Kobe.

O'Neal and Malone are both on the opposite side of Kobe!

This cap is simply murderous!

The Mavericks sent the ball out on the sideline, and Bryant leaned back after receiving the ball and then shot.

"Huh!"

Whistle hit!

Half angel and half devil.

This is the truest portrayal of Kobe Bryant's period.

The reason why Malone dared to help defend the ball in front of him was also the reason why Sun Hao asked Malone to assist in defense because he knew that Kobe Bryant would not pass the ball.

But the strength of Kobe's psychological quality is also vividly reflected in the ball just now.

You cover yours, I'll go into mine!

5 to 6!

Kobe Bryant scored 6 points in a row in the opening game, and the Lakers were still 1 point behind!

O'Neal, and then played a block for Sun Hao.

After dismantling, he received the ball and went inside, Bale came from the weak side to help defend, O'Neill met the bag and turned to distribute the ball to Christie in the bottom corner.

Christie adjusted her shot.

"Huh!"

His three-pointer also scored!

O'Neal's pre-game words not only made the Lakers players no longer get carried away, but even made them more focused than before.

And this focus leads to better performance!

8 to 6!

The Lakers overtook the score.

Nowitzki hit Malone with his back in the low post, and the golden rooster who turned independently leaned back to shoot.

"Huh!"

There are too!

Sun Hao's previous worries were right.

People can be divided into two categories because of their different psychological qualities.

One is that the psychological quality is not strong enough, and in the face of difficulties, they tend to collapse first;

The other type of people have strong psychological quality, and the more critical they are, or even the more desperate they are, the more they can perform well.

Both Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki fall into the second category.

These two may not have had enough chemistry, but in a desperate situation, they have brought out their best competitive state.

As a result, despite the unstoppable combination of instant kills, Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki also played their best games in the series.

Neither side was able to limit the opponent's score well, and the opening anxiety continued until the end.

Bryant hit a big heartbeat to help the Mavericks tie the score to 106-105 with 6 seconds left before the end!

After the goal, Kobe's forehead drove the teeth in the front row to stick forward, and the fierce light in front of him was .gif!

That was his most ferocious expression, not one of them!

The Lakers were forced to call a timeout.

Although they were mentally prepared before the game, the Mavericks really went crazy tonight.

The win or defeat is now a one-goal difference.

"Sun, you come to the last shot, and I'll block it for you."

During the timeout, O'Neill took the initiative to speak.

He's fulfilling what he's said before.

And Sun Hao's key ball ability, whether it was during the Mavericks period or after arriving at the Lakers, is the most trustworthy kind.

"I have an idea."

But at this moment, Sun Hao suddenly spoke.

O'Neal, including Phil Jackson, cast him quizzing glances.

After Sun Hao said his thoughts, Phil Jackson nodded after thinking for a while, and O'Neal had an indescribable joy on his face.

He even reached out and patted Sun Hao's shoulder hard.

He must have saved the galaxy in his previous life, so he met Sun Hao at this time in his career!

The Lakers' offense came back from a timeout.

The sideline ball was sent to Sun Hao.

At this time, the defender standing in front of him was Kobe.

In the end, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to ask Ying to come up to prevent Sun Hao.

Sun Hao's three threats were fake, and he used his quick first move to break through Kobe's defense.

But Kobe Bryant also showed his quality as a top defender, chasing Sun Hao from behind, and always ready to block Sun Hao from behind.

Including at the same time, Bale on the weak side also put Christie over to wrap Sun Hao.

Johnson is betting that Sun Hao will not pass the ball to Christie.

In fact, Sun Hao didn't pass it over there.

Christie performed well tonight, but putting the killer ball in the hands of a player who shot less than 30% of three-pointers this season was not only Sun Hao's wrong choice, but also Phil Jackson's.

Sun Hao continued to break through to the basket, and Diop also helped defend at this time.

Attacking from three sides, this is completely sealing Sun Hao's shooting space.

And time is running out.

But at this time, Sun Hao made something that the members of the Mavericks team didn't expect, or after he made that, they realized that maybe he was the choice to go from the beginning.

He sent the ball from the crack to O'Neal under the basket!

O'Neal was unguarded after receiving the ball, and when he got up, he was a two-handed violent frame.

"Bang!"

The ball was smashed into the basket, and the huge impact made the basket shake for a while.

Los Angeles fans at the scene will definitely be familiar with this scene.

In the 2000 playoffs against the Trail Blazers, the Lakers trailed by 15 points heading into the fourth quarter.

At that time, the Lakers were crazy about chasing points, and the winning goal that allowed them to complete the comeback before the end of the game was almost exactly the same as the goal in front of them!

The biggest difference is that the person who passes the ball has changed from Kobe Bryant to Sun Hao!

Then, in front of Kobe!

This scene was captured by the photographer on the scene, and it will definitely become a standard picture after tonight's game.

The new boss of the Lakers ended the game in the same way that the old boss had finished the game in front of the old boss!

This sounds a bit awkward, but if you taste it carefully, maybe only Kobe Bryant himself knows the taste!

Kobe Bryant is indeed a little confused, because he is chasing Sun Hao, and he is also one of the many background boards for O'Neal's dunk.

How ironic this was for him.

Fortunately, the game is not quite over yet.

The Mavericks, with the final 0.8 seconds.

Kobe Bryant, too, has one last chance.

Mavericks timeout.

"I'll defend Kobe."

Sun Hao took the initiative to ask Jackson for help during the timeout.

Jackson hesitated, then nodded.

The hesitation is because Sun Hao's defensive strength is not the top in the league, not to mention that it is a little worse than Christie and Finley.

Nodding because this was Sun Hao's own request, he would not refuse such a request.

Coming back from a timeout, the Lakers play the ball on the frontcourt sideline, and Fisher serves off the court.

It was at this time that the fans noticed a very interesting scene on the field.

Sun Hao, in the defense of Kobe!

That's where it gets interesting.

Kobe Bryant defended Sun Hao in the previous round, but Sun Hao defended Kobe Bryant with the last ball!

The two of them are playing turn-based PK!

However, many fans are still worried in their eyes, because Sun Hao is not good at defense.

They didn't know what kind of medicine Phil Jackson was selling in this gourd.

Actually, Phil Jackson was just as curious.

He didn't know how Sun Hao wanted to defend Kobe Bryant in the most critical round.

If he is killed by Kobe Bryant in the end, Sun Hao will become the target of public criticism.

Maybe even the image he has accumulated throughout the series will collapse in an instant.

Because if you don't prevent it, it's standard...... The act of giving away heads.

The referee on the sidelines handed the ball to Fisher and blew the whistle for the game to continue.

Diop, at the free throw line, set up a pick-and-roll for Kobe, and Kobe Bryant borrowed the pick-and-roll to run.

However, Sun Hao squeezed past Diop's side like a loach.

Defense is divided into many parts, and Sun Hao has always done a good job in the part of blocking and dismantling.

And what happened next was even more unexpected.

Because of Kobe, he couldn't catch the ball.

There was a commotion at the scene, including Phil Jackson's face in surprise.

But it was at this time that he knew why Sun Hao would ask Ying to take the initiative to defend Kobe Bryant at the last moment.

Sun Hao, playing with Kobe!

If Kobe Bryant goes to the left, he predicts to go to the left in advance, and if he goes to the right, he predicts to go to the right in advance!

Well, just like Sun Hao made Kobe's three-point growth, Sun Hao has already achieved great success after learning from Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant had no choice in the end, so he simply leaned on Sun Hao and reached out to ask for the ball.

But Sun Hao kept his body sideways to defend, and Fisher didn't dare to pass over there!

There was a five-second foul on the serve, and Fisher's thinking and judgment was a matter of seconds, and he finally gave the ball to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki didn't have much time to adjust after receiving the ball, and hurriedly turned and threw his hand back.

Ma Long, who defended him, was also experienced at the end and jumped early to give enough interference.

Nowitzki's shot was clearly deflected off the edge of the basket and bounced off the rim.

The final whistle sounded, the Mavericks, lost!

After O'Neill and Sun Hao cooperated, they completed the lore!

The scene began to boil, and the players on and off the court of the Lakers also rushed to O'Neal's side to start a carnival celebration.

After winning this game, they eliminated the Mavericks 4-1.

After two years, they made it back to the finals again!

O'Neill, at this time he raised his head and shouted, he was already too excited to do it.

He eliminated Kobe Bryant face-to-face, and he completed the lore with his own hands!

The Lakers' F4 failure is not because of him, because if he is given Sun Hao, he can still fight!

And at this moment, he really loved Sun Hao to death, the kind of love that he couldn't describe.

On the other side of the court, Bryant was still questioning Fisher why he didn't give him the ball in the end.

Fisher didn't know what to say.

In fact, it was a momentary judgment, if he really passed it on, and then was robbed by Sun Hao, then he should be the one who took the blame.

Bryant's questioning didn't come to a winning note, and he shook his hands in frustration and sat down on the bench with a hard ass.

The staff handed him a towel, and he took it and threw it the ground.

His eyes were red, and he was extremely depressed and frustrated.

Especially after Sun Hao and O'Neill played the same cooperation he once played and killed the game.

Nowitzki saw it and came over to comfort him.

Bryant finally shrugged his head, got up and went back to the locker room with Nowitzki.

For him, this summer is destined to be another extremely busy summer.

This is only his first time facing the Lakers, and a second, third, or even more is expected.

If he wants things to not go in the direction that O'Neill said, "not one, not two, not three, it's four, five, six", he has to make himself stronger.

Of course, only a few fans have paid attention to these things that happened on the sidelines.

At this time, almost everyone's eyes were on the Lakers players who were celebrating wildly on the court.

Finals, Lakers it's here again!
