Chapter Eighty-Eight: Clouds

“black histle!” (Black Whistle)

“black histle!” (Black Whistle)

“black histle!” (Black Whistle)

“black histle!” (Black Whistle)

In Sacramento, the Western Conference Finals reached Game 7, but the atmosphere here was obviously very unfriendly. There was a terrible mixture of anger, sadness, and despair throughout the Arco Arena.

With eight seconds left in the game, Bryant fouled Mike Bibby to the free throw line while the Lakers switched to their strongest offensive lineup for the final offense.

Mike Bibby hit both free throws to tie the score again at 100:100.

The Lakers started their final offense in regulation time.

The Lakers quickly transferred the ball, and Fisher received the ball and gave it directly to Kobe, who broke through half a step, suddenly stopped, and hoisted the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neill was asking for the ball with his left hand at the moment, as Divac left the field with six fouls, and it was Pollard who defended O'Neal.

Pollard used a near-grappling stance to resist O'Neal, but the difference in strength between the two was still too obvious, O'Neal directly arched after receiving the ball, squeezing out a space, and then O'Neal turned around and hooked his hand.

This time, even the fans who kept shouting black whistles from the field forgot to shout, and everyone focused on this goal.

O'Neal's hook arc was low, and it didn't take long for the ball to reach the basket.

"Rebound!"

O'Neal shouted loudly, and at the same time he strode towards the basket, the ball was heavy, and O'Neal looked at the trajectory of the ball and was shocked.

Everyone around them heard the sound and drilled under the basket, but there was one person who jumped the fastest and tallest, and that was the Lakers' No. 8.

Kobe Bryant used his keen sense of smell to grab the rebound first, didn't stop the ball, and according to his last impression before the jump, he threw the ball behind him.

Robert Horry, who was praised by O'Neal in the last game "Thank you Robert Horry's dad for meeting his mom that day", stood there just right, received Kobe's pass, his eyes were glued to the basket, and he didn't even pay attention to who the person who came to make up for the defense on the other side was who, Horry made a shot.

With a "dang", Horry's mid-range shot missed.

In desperation, Horry lunged forward and snatched the offensive rebound, but before Horry could make another move, the referee blew the whistle for the end of regular time, and the two sides went into overtime.

There was another lament in the Arco Arena.

At this time, in a corner of the Arco Arena, several guys who looked tall and didn't look good at first glance gathered together and talked in a low voice, and at this time, the tallest one suddenly got up.

"Huh? Ink, are you going to go to the toilet? Hurry up, the extra break is short. ”

"No, I'm going back, the game is over"

These people are here to peep, no, they should be called the Knicks generals who collect intelligence.

Hearing Mo Xi's assertion, the rest of the Knicks were a little puzzled, and they didn't know why Mo Xi said this.

Mo Xi turned around and explained to the Knicks: "The king's mentality has collapsed, and the last game may have been helped by the league, but in fact, in the whole series, there are very few situations where the referees directly intervene, and many of them are balance whistles, but the last game made the Sacramentos feel that it was too much against them, so that they also felt that this game was a black whistle, which will make the players lose their coolness, and the Kings fans also think so, which makes their already somewhat unbalanced hearts even more unable to calm down." , the Kings are very strong, they have an excellent experienced coach, a strong core, two of the best interior passers plus their system point guard, shooter, it is normal for them to suppress the Lakers at one time, but in the end, this is still the playoffs, the star theory is more important than the bucket theory, I think after entering overtime, the Kings will not have the power to fight back. ”

After finishing speaking, Mo Xi patted his ass very chic and left, leaving his teammates behind him to look at each other.

"Damn, do you understand?"

"You're such a waste, you don't understand this, that means the king can't beat the Lakers."

"Who said that!"

......

For the Knicks, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, it's just a matter of pinning the opponent to the ground and spanking them anyway.

The Knicks don't have this kind of self-confidence, but they do have this kind of self-confidence, and most of them have watched Mo Xi grow from a soft rookie to the point where he is today. Mo Xi is not like those who are proud of the sky, as soon as he enters the alliance, he is a leader who has been rumored for ten miles, just like he said when he graduated from college, he is just David, not Goliath.

However, there is still a problem in front of the Knicks now, and that is the problem of the player's mentality.

The Lakers will take their three-in-a-row dynasty, at the beginning of this dynasty, it will be the Knicks, and when the foundation of the dynasty is laid, will it be the Knicks again? Although the Knicks' players are a little confident, they are still a little intimidated when they see today's scene.

"Don't forget we're New York." Mo Xi left, and the rest of the mess was fortunately left with someone to clean up, Ewing also stood up and walked out, while inspiring everyone, "New Yorkers never give up in advance, if there is a victory, then the victory must belong to New York." ”

The Knicks left the Arco Arena, and the game was as expected by Moxi, the Lakers threw all the ball to O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in overtime, only Horry got one shot, and the Lakers played a magical shooting percentage in overtime, hitting all six shots, and the shooting rate was 100% perfect to win the seventh game of life and death.

The New York media directly took advantage of the situation, relying on their own news advantages, to put pressure on the Los Angeles Lakers, emphasizing that the Western Conference Finals are "not clean", theoretically speaking, the league headquarters is located in New York, and the New York media has always turned a blind eye to the league scandal, but now it is the Finals! Concentrate all the resources at your disposal to make you uncomfortable.

However, I don't know what agreement Stern and the Knicks have reached, in short, with Dolan's interference, the New York media finally stopped this momentum three days before the start of the Finals.

However, what many people didn't expect was that in the upcoming finals, the most important people were not affected at all.

Mo Xi kept going back and forth between the training gym and the apartment, no one knew what he was thinking, I didn't know if he was under pressure, I didn't know if he was really as calm as he did, I didn't know if he was just like he said, no matter who the opponent was, just beat him.

Clouds hung over New York, but the clouds didn't seem so scary, with a flick of a finger and golden sunlight behind it.
