Chapter 112: The Fourth Verse of Gambling Everything
The Knicks' strong performance in the third quarter made the Lakers panic, even if he was as steady as a Zen master, there was a faint bloodshot on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to bite his lip.
The changes in the situation on the court have been beyond Phil Jackson's control, in fact, the current situation is not at all expected by anyone, from the initial Lakers outburst, to the subsequent one-handed mending, followed by the Knicks' ancient tactics, one after another, which makes people breathless.
Fans understand this situation very well, after all, if the Lakers lose one more game, they will fall behind 3:1, and no team in history has successfully reversed in the Finals with such a big score, even if it is OK now.
The atmosphere on the Lakers' side is extraordinarily solemn.
“in or go home?” Phil Jackson uttered this classic playoff quote, the Lakers are quiet on the bench, but the scorching flame doesn't lie, who would choose to give up in front of the championship?
"Let's ...... it next"
Phil Jackson admitted that he made a mistake in the tactical arrangement this time, he thought that after the OK offensive power made the Knicks at a loss, the Knicks would definitely fall into a state of helplessness for a long time, but he didn't expect that Mo Xi, who had not experienced much of the bag treatment, suddenly broke out and renewed a wave of life for the Knicks.
Phil Jackson counted a lot of things in this game, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
The final decisive battle began, and the two sides directly changed to full starters, and began a tough battle with bayonets in the final quarter.
Obviously, the Knicks' style is more suitable for tough battles, only two minutes into the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant was directly dragged to the ground by Sprewell, the angry Kobe Bryant was like a beast that chose people to devour, but Kobe Bryant, who was staring at a pair of red eyes, didn't know what to restrain his riotous heart, staring straight at Sprewell.
Immediately after the next Knicks' offense, Kobe Bryant directly returned Sprewell an elbow.
The Iron Legion and Sho Time seem to meet again after more than ten years of time and space.
New Yorkers have always been unreasonable, not to mention that this is still New York.
There's nothing the Knicks can do about the tactical level of OK, it's just, as I said, this is New York, this is Madison Square Garden, and this is the Knicks' turf.
The Knicks didn't hide it at all, I just fouled, so what! You're going to bite me.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, the game was still in a stalemate, but at this time, the Knicks decisively sacrificed another big killer, "shark cutting tactics".
When Murphy sent him to the free-throw line for the second time, O'Neal's face turned green.
Although the words "my free throws are also stable at critical moments" and "what if my free throws are as accurate as Reggie Miller" are all from O'Neal's mouth, O'Neal is still very uncomfortable when he is really "cut".
50%
O'Neal forced his free throw percentage to stay at that point.
And while O'Neal was struggling at the free-throw line, Murphy began to take over the Knicks' offense.
Mercy came to the high post to block Sprewell, and after the two broke up, Sprewell quickly rushed to the bottom corner, and Mercy ran backwards to the wing on the other side.
There was an inside defense line between the two of them, but O'Neal still subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate, and only symbolically delayed Sprewell and hurried to Mo Xi's side.
It's just that the path that O'Neill ran over was on Mo Xi's side, or to be more precise, behind the side.
Mo Xi suddenly stopped and ran back, accelerated to the basket, O'Neal failed to turn back in time, lost Mo Xi's defensive position, O'Neal had to loudly remind Horry under the basket.
"Be careful!"
However, with O'Neill's reminder, Mo Xi has already taken off.
Relay in the air!
From the tie-in between Spreville and Moxi.
O'Neill gritted his teeth, and was about to turn around and give Mo Xi a good look, when he heard the referee's "beep~".
O'Neal looked down and saw that Mark Jackson was holding one of O'Neal's arms very casually, and the appearance of an old ruffian made O'Neal want to smash it directly with a fist.
O'Neal muttered to the free throw line, and at this time, Mo Xi walked behind him slowly, and the top student of the Georgetown Physics Department suddenly showed his fangs after the Knicks studied abroad, and said softly in O'Neal's ear: "In the locker room, you use the penultimate locker inside, give you a chance, smell your hands, is there a faint fishy smell, hum"
Mo Xi walked to his place under the basket, leaving O'Neill to sniff his palm blankly.
Well, it seems to be a little flavorful, what is this?
O'Neal felt very uncomfortable, could it be that the Knicks' grandsons were playing with me?
O'Neal missed two free throws, Mo Xi got a rebound in the backcourt, and the Knicks attacked.
At this time, the Knicks have equalized the score, and this goal is crucial for the Knicks, which is likely to be the first time that the Knicks have led the Lakers in this game, and it will be the turning point of this game.
Mo Xi leaned on O'Neal and sat directly on the left low position, O'Neill wanted to just come to a withdrawal chair, because when he asked for the ball, Mo Xi had already put all the weight of his body on O'Neal's body, but O'Neill found that Mo Xi was tightly pressed on his body, even if he had a tendency to retreat, Mo Xi would immediately adjust his position and always press his weight on O'Neal's body.
Because the center of gravity is pressed too backward, it is difficult for Mo Xi to start immediately after receiving the pass, and after losing this advantage, Mo Xi is not dominant in the face of O'Neal, and O'Neill obviously thinks the same, but the plot of the whole story is completely off.
Mo Xi suddenly lifted his body strangely, turned around, and leaned back.
The whole action was almost done by the ankle, and the strong flexibility supported Mo Xi to magically complete this offensive action, O'Neill looked at the unbelievable scene in front of him, but at this moment he couldn't lift the strength to step forward and block.
Mo Xi turned his back and threw a shot.
With the help of his waist and abdomen, Mo Xi stretched his body in the air, and Mo Xi lay in the air and threw the ball high.
With a crisp sound of "Huh~", the blue ball hollowed into the net, and the Knicks overtook the score.
