Chapter 291: This Doesn't Make Sense
"This game looks like it's going to be a final fight again." When there was 1 minute left in the game between the Spurs and the Lakers, 98-100, the Spurs trailed the Lakers by 2 points.
"Meng Xu got rid of Kobe, received the ball, shot, oops, it was a little off, this goal is really a pity." In the studio hall of CCAV, after Meng Xu missed 3 points, Sun Zhengping had a sad face at the moment.
"Although this goal was not scored, but this goal Spurs still played very reasonable, all kinds of tactics and running positions were completed very well, Popovich should resolutely hand over the ball to Meng Xu, to believe Meng Xu, the next goal will definitely be scored. And although he couldn't shoot, you can see Meng Xu's shooting action, it's really good-looking. Although Meng Xu failed to score, but we have to believe that the next goal will be scored, with this firm idea, Mr. Zhang Li nodded after speaking.
There are 56 seconds left in the time, it is the Lakers' turn to attack, the Lakers are now very resolute to play O'Neal, Fisher quickly handed the ball to O'Neal after dribbling to the top of the arc, and O'Neal after receiving the ball, after being sandwiched by Duncan and David Robinson, O'Neal chose to pass the ball back to Fisher, but after the basketball turned around on the outside, it was still handed over to O'Neal on the inside, seeing that time was running out, O'Neal could only force his back to Duncan, but O'Neal's hook was a little shorter, the defensive rebound was grabbed by David Robinson.
"Hey, Jaren Jackson didn't pass the ball to Meng Xu, the Spurs played very problematic in this offense." Seeing Meng Xu reaching out to Jaren Jackson for the ball, but was ignored by Jaren Jackson, Mr. Zhang Li frowned and called out that the Spurs' tactics were problematic, and at the last moment of the game, it was unreasonable for you not to hand over the basketball to Meng Xu.
Due to the decline in physical strength, Meng Xu's previous two shots failed to hit, so in this offense, Jaren Jackson, who received instructions from the head coach, refused Meng Xu's request, but passed the ball to Mario Elie, who handed the ball to Duncan on the inside. Duncan turned his back to O'Neal and after a few consecutive tops, he turned his back and hit a jumper, and with 27 seconds left, 100-100, Duncan's goal helped the Spurs equalize.
Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant stayed outside the 3-point line, both bent over, staring at each other, letting the sweat slide down their faces and drip onto the floor. Although neither of them spoke, but they could understand the meaning in each other's eyes, Kobe Bryant has always regarded Meng Xu as his own kind, the only one of his kind in the league, and Meng Xu also regarded Kobe as his biggest opponent, so although they are opponents, the two always cherish each other, and whenever they are interviewed, they will always praise each other.
After Meng Xu's request was rejected by Jaren Jackson, in this offense, perhaps in the last two minutes, Kobe Bryant did not get the opportunity to attack, Phil Jackson always trusted the big fat man, although the big fat man is indeed strong, but this feeling of being ignored is not something that anyone can bear, and Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant are almost like this now, just when O'Neal and Duncan were fighting, the two quietly broke away from their respective teams' systems, as if this game had nothing to do with them.
With the earth-shattering cheers of Staples, O'Neal singled Duncan with his back to hit, and at the same time caused Duncan's foul, the goal was effective at the same time, and he had to add a free throw, after O'Neal scored this goal steadily, 100-103, the Lakers led the Spurs by 3 points, and the clock had 7 seconds left.
"Jalen, give me the ball." Since there is no timeout, this last offense, the Spurs can only start from the bottom line, Meng Xu, who has been responsible for serving the baseline ball in the second half, did not run to the baseline this time, but handed the basketball to Jaren Jackson, and he stood at the free throw line. At this time, Jaren Jackson was obviously stunned for a moment after seeing that Meng Xu was going to serve the bottom line ball by himself, and then turned his head to look at the coach's seat.
"Jalen, hurry up." After Meng Xu yelled at Jaren Jackson, Jalen Jackson also walked towards the bottom line with his head down, because when Jaren Jackson looked at the coach's seat just now, he found that head coach Popovich had a cold face and did not say anything, while assistant coach Steve Cole was obviously a little flustered, walking back and forth behind Popovich, not knowing what to mumble in his mouth.
"Kobe, guard against him." When he saw Meng Xu holding the ball in the backcourt, Phil Jackson immediately yelled at Kobe Bryant near the center circle, although the team was still leading by 3 points, but his intuition told him that this was not safe.
After receiving the baseline ball from Jaren Jackson, Meng Xu did not hesitate at all, but began to accelerate from the backcourt, after seeing Kobe Bryant rushing towards him, Meng Xu immediately started the change of direction in the backcourt, and completed the attack in 7 seconds, which means that Meng Xu can not have the slightest entanglement with Kobe, to pass the half court within 4 seconds, and then use the remaining 3 seconds to reach the 3-point line and complete the shot.
"That's a lot of speed." Just after Meng Xu easily got rid of Kobe Bryant by changing direction, Rick Fox, who wanted to rush over behind Kobe and wrap Meng Xu, found that he was actually passed by Meng Xu like a stake.
Meng Xu got rid of Kobe and Rick Fox through continuous change of direction, and when he reached the top of the arc, there were still 2 seconds left in the time, Meng Xu's fingertips lightly touched the basketball on the ground, and then his body pulled up, after Meng Xu completed this series of actions, the time was less than a second. When the basketball thrown by Meng Xu fell into the basket in a beautiful arc and equalized the score for the Spurs, the entire Staples was silent, and the defensive sound that was constantly chanting just now came to an abrupt end.
"The referee is watching the replay of the last goal just now, and if there is no problem, the two sides will have to go to extra time." Several referees in this game were gathered around to watch the game video of Meng Xu's last shot just now, and all the players of the two teams walked off the court one after another.
"Meng Xu made a 3-point shot, beautiful, and the Spurs equalized." After Meng Xu scored the equalizing 3 points, Mr. Sun Zhengping, who was far away in the Celestial Empire, had now stood up from his seat excitedly, and Zhang Lili next to him immediately took a bucket on him, reminding him not to be overly excited, and it would be bad to be careful to broadcast some discordant pictures.
"The Spurs should have played like this just now, at the last moment, they still have to shoot 3 points, if the ball just now was handed over to Meng Xu to play, you see, the Spurs have already won, and now, the two sides have to play overtime."
"Meng, in the following game, you organize, we have to play steadily, be patient, and ensure that the hit rate is 。。。。。。" After Meng Xu's goal was confirmed to be valid and the two sides were going to play overtime, Popovich also began to arrange the tactical arrangements in overtime, and Duncan and Meng Xu were calm at the moment, staring at the tactical board in Popovich's hand expressionlessly.
After the start of overtime, the Spurs made personnel adjustments, Mario Ely, who was already physically exhausted, was replaced by Sean Elliott, Meng Xu replaced Jaren Jackson as a playmaking guard, and Derrick Anderson, who only played 10 minutes in this game, returned to the court, the Lakers are still center O'Neal, big forward Robert Hawley, small forward Rick Fox, scoring guard Kobe, and playmaking guard Derrick Fisher.
In the first round of the two sides, the tactics were still very clear, after Horace Grant went off the court in the third quarter, O'Neal lost his bodyguard and arm, and Robert Hawley, the interior of this small forward, basically could not help O'Neal when the two sides were hand-to-hand, so in the case of regaining the advantage on the inside, the Spurs still chose to play Duncan. And the Lakers don't have many options now, Fisher and Rick Fox are under Meng Xu's assistance and deterrence, and the game feels unimaginably poor, Fisher shoots 0 of 8, Rick Fox shoots 1 of 7, and Robert Holly is now facing David Robinson, as for the remaining O'Neal and Kobe, among the two, Phil Jackson chose to believe in O'Neal, after all, the closer to the basket, the higher the scoring efficiency.
"O'Neal singled Duncan with his back, Duncan took half a step back, O'Neal turned his back and hit a hook shot."
"Duncan left the basket, Meng Xu handed the ball to Duncan, Duncan held the ball on the wing, shook Robert Hawley, and hit a jumper."
"O'Neal received a pass from Rick Fox and turned his back, and O'Neal hit a step-back jumper."
。。。。。。
In the first two minutes of overtime, both Duncan and O'Neal maintained a very high shooting percentage, and the first three attacks of the two men were all scored.
"Today's game is definitely the most intense Western Conference Finals ever." What the Spurs and Lakers are doing on the court now is like two samurai in a duel, you stab me, I stab you, and then you stab me again, and keep bleeding each other, and now it depends on which of the two sides will not be able to hold on first.
"It's also the best matchup." In Magic Johnson's career, he has played in the Western Conference Finals 9 times, but Magic Johnson really can't find a game that can compare to this game.
