Chapter 386: Unexpected Situation
The fifth battle of the finals is also known as the battle of Tianwang Mountain!
There are only two scores that can reach Game 5 in the series, one is 3-1 and the other is 2-2.
In either case, this fifth battle is very important!
The former is a win-or-die situation for the lagging side; In the latter case, whoever can win the fifth game first will be able to seize the opportunity and push the opponent to the edge of the cliff where there is no way to retreat.
The Bucks and the Lakers are in the latter situation, and you can imagine the intensity of this game, which must be a fight to the death!
And for Bucks fans, in this hardcore battle, they are undoubtedly more advantageous because they are at home!
"Kobe, I already smell the smell of failure in you, you're going to leave with a stinky face tonight, I'm sure!"
"Phil Jackson, you look like shit, haven't you figured out how to defend yet? Don't worry, you won't be able to limit it tonight! ”
"The arrogant Lakers, tonight at Bradley, let's enjoy the taste of being beaten!"
The Lakers warmed up in the arena early, and they were greeted by the wilder Milwaukee fans, who had prepared the swear words to hit the Lakers players early on, and poured out their heads when they first saw them.
However, the effect is not good, the Lakers, as a player who has entered the Finals for three consecutive years, has not played away from home in the same situation, and the psychological changes are not very big.
Including Artest, although he has not entered the finals, he is a bastard by nature, and the boos in the audience cannot affect his performance in the game at all, and it is only his own brain that can affect him!
The Bucks players also walked out of the home arena tunnel shortly after.
Yi Jianlian's face was a little unhappy, as if he had been provoked by someone.
"It's always a bit bad to be fined money!"
"Maybe after this game, Bucks fans will thank the league official for the fine, because the angry Yi Jianlian played a brighter performance tonight!"
The other Bucks' main players looked a lot more relaxed than they did when they were at the Staples Center, and it was clear that they were better equipped with the cheers of the home fans.
"Guys, I don't need to say how important this game is, if we win, we have a huge advantage, but if we lose, we will most likely watch the Lakers lift the cup on their home court, so focus your attention on the game, what I want to see is that you establish your advantage as soon as possible like the second and third games of the Finals, and press them for the whole game!"
"Come on!"
“go!”
"Ho!"
The last bit of time before the game ended with cheers.
In the fifth battle of the finals, the battle of Tianwang Mountain officially began!
The starting line-ups on both sides have not changed, they are still the same as the original starting lineup.
Pau Gasol jumped to the ball, Kobe's offensive desire was very strong from the beginning, when Fisher held the ball, he reached out for the ball, and brought himself to the frontcourt, facing Courtney Lee, a breakthrough after a feint, but unfortunately did not throw Courtney Lee very far, and when the last pull-up layup, Courtney Lee caught up and interfered a little, and did not score!
Bogut protected the rebound and was about to give the ball, but Bynum reached out and pulled it, forcing Bogut to become protective again.
Yi Jianlian stayed in the backcourt and waited.
Bogut gave Bynum the ball when he started to retreat.
Yi Jianlian dribbled to the front court and faced Artest, who put a step away, with his hands open, even if Yi Jianlian came to him, he didn't pounce, just guarded.
Is it not anti-burst?
Yi Jian Lianyun doubled twice, adjusted the whole rhythm, and saw that Artest had no intention of pounced, so he no longer hesitated, and jumped up and throw.
Artest only pounced when he had completed his entire jump.
"Bang dang!"
Yi Jianlian was disturbed for a moment and didn't enter.
Bogut got stuck on the inside, but Bynum was behind him, making him unable to exert his strength and jump, and Bogut could only watch Pau Gasol collect the rebound.
Channingfrye also learned from Bynum's interference, ruining the Lakers' chance to speed up and play fast-breaking.
Fisher controlled the ball over the halfway line, and the ball still went to Kobe.
Kobe Bryant continued to feint and shake the breakthrough after shaking, but he did not choose to continue to go deeper like the last time, and then took a step back to shoot a jumper, Courtney Lee, who had just re-posted, did not expect Kobe to suddenly change his moves, and the whole person could not retract and crashed into Kobe's body.
Kobe Bryant's shot was violated, and the whole shooting action was completely deformed, "Wow", but the ball went into the basket!
2 plus 1!
Courtney Lee was also stunned, he looked at Kobe Bryant as he walked to the free throw line with an incredulous face, and he really couldn't figure out how the ball went in.
"Huh!"
Penalty hit.
The Lakers took the lead.
Yi Jianlian held the ball again to face Artest, the latter still put a step away, and he didn't shoot against it, Yi Jianlian who he was so defended just now, naturally had to continue to insist this time.
Yi Jianlian did not hesitate because of the failure of the first shot, he still chose the three-point jumper.
"Bang dang!"
However, this time he still failed to shoot.
Shh
Yi Jianlian shook his head and walked back, and he didn't throw it twice in a row, which made him frown a little, shouldn't it!
"Yi's hand doesn't look very good today! This kind of goal that can be scored with eyes closed in the past has not been scored twice in a row today! ”
"In the next period of time, the Bucks may be passive!"
Kenny Smith is not wrong, Yi Jianlian didn't feel very good today, and the Lakers' defensive focus didn't have to focus too much on him like in the previous Finals, and the other players on the Bucks were under more defensive pressure because of this.
The Bucks' entire team struggled on the offensive end.
And the Lakers, under the leadership of Kobe, kept scoring.
In less than 4 minutes of the first quarter, the Lakers were 13-5 and had a lead of 8 points.
The crowd at Bradley Arena was silent, and neither of them expected that today's start would be so unfavorable.
Xiao K frowned and paced back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, before the game, he had thought about where the Bucks would have problems, and he had prepared corresponding measures, but he really didn't expect that Yi Jianlian, who had never dropped the chain, would have a sluggish hand tonight.
My God!
Do you like to play me so much!?
"Bang dang!"
Yi Jianlian missed again.
Xiao K didn't plan to wait any longer, he turned around and waved his hand at Crawford: "Ready to play!" ”
