286: A very different hardness from seven years ago (4.3k)
Luke. Walton, the white small forward who had previously made only five appearances in the playoffs, played in this pivotal battle.
Everyone knows what the Zen master is thinking, this guy wants to liberate Kobe.
Wharton's three-pointer was able to save Kobe Bryant from being trapped.
Although Wharton's defense is average, his running and jumping ability is not as good as Ariza's.
But with this three-pointer, he has a tactical position.
At the start of the second quarter, McMillan noticed the changes in the Lakers, but still waved his hand: "Bag Kobe!" Tight clips! ”
Then, Walton hit the first three-pointer of the day.
"Beautiful goal, Luke. Wharton made Percy pay. With only 1 point left, are the Trail Blazers still in the middle? ”
After the Trail Blazers attacked, Wayne passed the ball, Posey hit a jumper, and the Lakers continued to attack.
This time, Percy glanced at McMillan, apparently asking him, "Shall we still clip it?" ”
McMillan continued to fist each other, meaning: "Clamp! Why not clip! ”
Then, Wharton Jr. made his second three-pointer in a row.
Wharton: You're clipping your M!
Beat me like an iron tie?
Although he was ordered at a critical moment, Wharton Jr. did not mess with it at all.
After all, he lived on the basketball court since he was a child, and Wharton always played calmly and thought very clearly.
Zen masters once praised him: "Sometimes the coach only thinks of two aspects, but Wharton can think of a third aspect." ”
Wharton knew exactly what he was going to do and what he was going to do when he got on the field.
Moreover, he also plays conscientiously.
Although his father is the NBA's top 50 and has a family, little Wharton doesn't have to play for a living.
But it is precisely in this way that he can devote himself more purely to the cause he loves.
Can't be a star and sign a big contract?
It's okay, I can't starve to death either.
But as long as I'm on the pitch, I'm definitely going to do my part.
That's the mindset of Wharton Jr.
The Lakers overtook the Lakers, and now, McMillan is a little empty.
In these games, the score difference is in single digits.
To put it bluntly, even if a role player scores one or two more goals, the outcome of several games may have to be reversed.
If Wharton is allowed to do this, he may really dig a big hole.
So, McMillan didn't let Posey continue to wrap up.
Now, it's time to sacrifice Wayne!
Wayne picked up the basketball on the ground and looked at the score.
1 point behind, behind.
Well, the time has come.
"Splash! Hold on, we're going to tackle the Western Conference Finals today, OK? ”
"Of course, I said I'll help you!" The sister-in-law nodded.
"Well, let's work together!"
Wayne said, rubbing his sister-in-law's head.
Duncan's Hand of God, activate!
The sister-in-law suddenly turned into a golden lion king, and her expression became hideous, as if her eyes were about to burst into golden light.
I'm sorry Brother Yao, next, this dumpling may have teeth.
The game continues, and the Trail Blazers attack.
Now that the Lakers are on Wharton, Wayne is not welcome.
This time for the attack, Posey came up and blocked Wayne.
After Oddam was blocked, Wharton had to defend in front of Wayne.
Wharton can't stand people, and his height doesn't have an advantage, which is basically a send, which is bigger than Odom's send.
There was no way, Odom had to go up and pack the clip.
But Wayne found Posey who bounced outside the three-point line after blocking and picking for the first time, and he had just hit the iron, so this time he seized the opportunity and hit an open three-point shot.
Wayne continues to assist!
"Don't wrap the clip, don't wrap the clip!" At this point, the Zen master whistled and shouted at the players.
What he wants is an attack!
Kobe Bryant and Wayne just want them to fight one by one!
Throughout the ages, this Jordan Bryant-style one-on-one has always been the first choice for solving problems, and Zen masters are convinced of this.
Don't talk about team basketball, is team basketball really higher than "one to one"?
If team basketball is really higher than "one-on-one," then the league's most popular players of the past decade should not be Shaq, Kobe Bryant and Jordan.
Maybe in Europe, team basketball is very popular.
But in the NBA, in the concept of Zen masters, one-on-one is the strongest!
He won 9 championship rings one-on-one, what else is there to say?
But the Trail Blazers won't just let Kobe Bryant easily one-on-one, Posey can't, and Wayne!
This time, Bryant hit Parker with the ball in the waist. Then, Wayne caught it.
"!" Kobe Bryant scolded and had to pass the ball again, and the target of the pass was Yao Ming.
Although Wayne made three consecutive defensive changes in the final minute of the last game, he laid the victory for the Trail Blazers.
But it was just a round after all, and Wayne couldn't do it all the time.
Therefore, since Kobe Bryant was clamped, Yao Ming had a one-on-one chance.
Odom: So I'm not human, I'm so empty......
In this game that is completely cool when he dies, Kobe really doesn't trust Odom's three-point ......
He would rather trust Yao Ming's low-post singles.
Yao Ming ate the dumplings again, but found that the dumplings were hard.
This time, Yao Ming missed a layup on a single Gasuo.
The Lakers' two singles points are not guaranteed to be super efficient.
It's embarrassing.
And after the Trail Blazers passed, Wayne scored on a single Wharton.
There's no flashy trick to get past Wharton, and then he's throwing a step-back jumper.
Since the Lakers don't wrap up, don't blame Wayne for going crazy and picking wool.
Wharton couldn't stand it and wasn't tall enough, so he could only watch Wayne easily score with a step-back jumper that was very similar to Kobe's.
Wayne had already raised his step-back jumper to the silver level, which was originally intended to deal with Yao Ming.
However, now against Wharton, the silver-level Kobe Bryant's backing is basically equal to invincibility.
And just like that, Wayne's numbers rose wildly today.
When there is a bag, Wayne assists, anyway, the Lakers don't have a super assistant defense.
When he wasn't packed, Wayne scored, and Wharton and Odom defended mediocre anyway.
From the third quarter onwards, Wayne even played with Gasol on the inside and inside blocking!
This trick was learned by McMillan from Carlyle.
The other day, he had studied footage of the 2005 Pacers championship in hopes of learning some lessons from using Wayne.
Wayne and Xiao Ao blocked and dismantled, allowing Wayne to single out Deng Dud, which attracted McMillan.
Therefore, he also decided to consume Yao Ming in this way!
Can Yao Ming defend against Wayne?
It depends on how to prevent it.
If it's in the low post, Yao Ming can keep Wayne from autifying.
But if it is from the outside line, Yao Ming's speed can't keep up at all, and he can't prevent it.
Especially in the third quarter, or after Yao Ming had already had a hard fight with his sister-in-law.
Yao Ming can't do it, as soon as he blocks and dismantles, he can only try to defend Wayne alone.
Wayne's shooting Yao Ming knows, and if he doesn't care about it, it's suicide.
And once Yao Ming comes out, Wayne has two choices.
First, singles attempts to break through Chairman Yao.
Second, hang the ball to your sister-in-law to play Odangdang.
Either way, it's efficient.
Wayne and Gasuo's dual-core connection is obviously better than Kobe Bryant's connection today!
It was the Zen master who wanted to remove Ariza, a good defender, who could blame him?
If you want to play the ultimate 1-on-1 singles, you have to give something.
In this way, the Trail Blazers gradually gained the upper hand, and Wayne and the hard sister-in-law cooperated very well.
With these two big men who can pass the ball, the Trail Blazers' lack of a point guard problem is instead covered up.
I have to say that Wayne and sister-in-law are also in really good shape.
Especially Wayne, he didn't lose a single goal that should have been scored, and he didn't make a mistake when he should have passed well.
The efficiency is so high that it is perverted, and it can be regarded as a complete outbreak.
That's for sure, one blow and then three times exhausted, Wayne also knows that if this one can't bite down and lose confidence, about G7 is.
If you really hit G7, the probability of the Lakers winning can be 7 percent.
So, today is going to win no matter what.
That's how Wayne came to be in hot form today.
This lineup may not be able to win if it replays seven games with the Lakers.
But this one is enough to fight down!
By the end of the third quarter, Wayne had scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 blocks, which was already a close to triple-double!
Gasol also had 17 points, nine rebounds and four assists.
The Trail Blazers led by 13 points and entered the fourth quarter!
"13 points, never before has any team taken that many leads before the start of the fourth quarter in this year's Western Conference Finals! The Los Angeles people only have time in the final quarter of the game to come back to life! ”
Lakers fans are all in a hurry, there is something about this death five.
But Bryant was very calm, trailing by 13 points to face the Trail Blazers.
Well......
Seven years ago, he had a worse situation.
It's impossible to beat me with this difficulty!
The Black Mamba is about to start superspoying.
As soon as the fourth quarter began, Bryant hit a shot under the double defense of Posey and Parker.
After that, he broke through the basket and scored a layup.
After scoring the goal, he didn't forget to yell at Wayne: "You're still too tender little ghost, I've crossed more bridges than you've eaten!" ”
Wayne smiled, "That's because you're old, man. ”
After that, Wayne continued to switch positions to single Wharton, but Kobe Bryant suddenly came out and cut the ball away from Wayne's hand.
It's kind of a ball returned to the cannon in the air.
Bryant rushed to the basket, but instead of hitting the frame directly, he dribbled a shot.
Sure enough, Wayne flew over his head, and he kept following him!
Kobe Bryant has been tapped once before, and he won't be tapped a second time in the same way.
After shaking Wayne away, Kobe Bryant jumped on the spot and dunked.
To this day, he can still jump and dunk on the spot.
Terrifying physical fitness!
"You're like a clown, Way."
"No, I'm your nightmare, I know. You're scared, Kobe, you're scared. ”
Both Bryant and Wayne started a trash talk offensive, but neither could interfere with the other.
How the two should score or how to score.
This is a master meets a master, and the old Chinese medicine meets the old Chinese medicine.
The home remedies didn't work!
In the final two minutes of the game, the Trail Blazers only led by five points.
Kobe Bryant couldn't stop it in the fourth quarter, repeatedly forcing points without a chance.
There was one ball in it that Wayne and Gaso were close to him.
As a result, he was stunned that his left hand changed to his right hand and his right hand changed to his left hand in the air, and the left hand and right hand were slow motion super levers, and his ability to stay in the air was perverted.
This ball is also the same, Kobe Bryant received the ball and burst and first stepped past Parker. Then he faced Posey, who came over to make up for the defense, and easily passed him with a turn.
Connected two!
Wayne leaned in on Kobe, but Bryant made a pass to Odom.
So, Wayne hurried to Odang.
However, Bryant just made a fake pass and after fooling Wayne, he continued to make a layup!
Fake fax on.
Bryant gently tossed the ball to the basket for a layup.
But just as the basketball was about to graze the rebound, a long arm reached over and slapped the basketball on the rebound!
Kobe Bryant was shocked, wasn't Wayne deceived?
As a result, if you take a closer look, it's not Wayne, it's the golden retriever lion king who is too hard today!
"Cannon. Gasso, he managed to cover the basketball, and the Lakers missed the opportunity to continue to narrow the score! ”
After Gasol got the basketball, he raised his arms high and dodged the basket Kobe Bryant's on-the-spot rebound.
At this time, Kobe Bryant doesn't care so much, holding the basketball with both hands, just don't let go!
In this way, the referee finally awarded a scrum.
Despite this, Gasol also made an extremely good defense.
So, after the referee's whistle, the Spaniard roared!
Wayne rushed over as well, and Gasol bumped chest to chest.
"Well done Gaso!"
"Keep rushing, Wei, I'm here!"
Wayne nodded, and his sister-in-law saved herself again.
In the scrum that followed, Gasol relied on his height and reach to get the ball.
Wayne continued to move forward with the ball, and at this time Wayne had already scored a super stat of 34 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 blocks.
But the game isn't over yet, and his stats could get even better.
This time, Wayne sat inside and continued to play Odom with his back.
Kobe, who had no way out, gave up Parker directly and squeezed towards Wayne.
Wayne saw Kobe, and his running route was very chicken thief, right on the passing route!
Therefore, the pass is not safe, and the shot can only be completed before Kobe Bryant's bag comes up.
Wayne didn't hesitate and rolled over and made a jumper.
But by this time, Kobe had already pounced and completed the interference with Wayne with Odom.
Moreover, Kobe Bryant's ball interfered very tightly and jumped very high, which once made Wayne's basket invisible.
If it's just a bronze Kobe Bryant's back, it is estimated that this ball will be iron.
But with the silver level, after cutting more interference, Wayne still threw the ball softly.
"With Lamar and Kobe Bryant defending, can Wei shoot!?"
Kobe turned his head and prepared to grab the rebound.
As a result, in the next second, the basketball hollowed into the net.
At critical moments, Wayne never dropped the chain.
"The ball is in! Wei used a beautiful step-back jumper to throw the ball in with the interference of Kobe and Lamar!
7 points, he extended the difference to 7 points! With just over a minute left, the Trail Blazers have already touched the Western Conference championship trophy with one hand! This is a crucial goal! ”
Mike. Brin stood up excitedly, while the Los Angeles fans covered their heads in despair.
The Zen master also frowned, he really didn't expect Wayne to be able to fight like this!
stunned to be able to withstand Kobe's impact! And Kobe Bryant has been fighting until now!
At this time, Wayne's voice came from behind Kobe: "This Trail Blazer team is not the same now as it was seven years ago, Kobe." Seven years ago, Portland didn't have a player as tough as me.
Do you still want to come back and win? No, you can only pray in your dreams, in your dreams! ”
With that, Wayne turned to leave, leaving Bryant stunned in place.
The Zen master called a pause and prepared to make the final arrangements.
Bryant didn't respond to Wayne and walked off the court quickly.
This game was played so anxiously, which Kobe Bryant did not expect.
Wayne's hardness is no less than all the opponents Kobe Bryant has faced before.
30 points and triple-doubles, Wayne has a big bag today!
Bryant was out of breath, and he knew the situation was not good.
If he loses, Wayne will really appear in his dreams in the future.
All the time, he was tormented in his dreams.
It's horrible!
And Wayne, he doesn't have any baggage anymore.
Maybe in the previous game, he and Kobe Bryant were evenly matched in scoring.
But Wayne was confident that in this crucial final minute......
Kobe Bryant can't beat him!
