However, the Lakers' high-intensity pressing still had a certain impact on the 76ers, although the 76ers' players can still get the opportunity to shoot, but the passing is always interfered with and makes everyone feel very painful. Fortunately, Iverson can still hold the ball and do it alone, after all, pressing means that you must defend closely, which makes the Lakers' interior line directly empty.

After the empty shot, the Lakers only had one O'Neal left under the basket, and Iverson deliberately rushed deep into the position every round, and also deliberately looked for fouls. Although O'Neal is already a strengthened version, Iverson is not bad, and his defense may not be as good, but his offense is definitely among the best in the league, and his shooting percentage under the basket is second to none among guards.

After two fouls by Iverson, O'Neal didn't dare to continue to get forward, and now his personal fouls have reached three, and if he fouls again, he will have to go to rest. In desperation, O'Neal can only vent his anger on the offensive end, thanks to the fact that this is the Staples Center, the referee is still slightly biased towards the home team, and Mutombo is not easy to make some small moves, even if the referee blows O'Neal for a foul or two, he may eventually have to change his attitude under the pressure of fans.

The two sides fought to a tie again in the third quarter, and such a staggered score was indeed rare in the first three games. In fact, the 76ers originally had a certain advantage on the offensive end, but in the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant suddenly broke out and scored 8 points in a row, helping the Lakers overtake the score. If it weren't for Reed's consecutive three-pointers to stop the bleeding for the 76ers, the Lakers would have taken the lead into the fourth quarter, which was a very big blow to the morale of the players.

The Zen master's face sank like water, he really didn't expect Reed to be able to maintain such a shooting touch throughout the game, after three quarters, he had already scored 24 points, and basically all of his shots were three-pointers, so it can be said that this game was his battle for fame. For the 76ers' draft vision, the Zen master has to express his admiration, who would have thought that there would be such a wonderful thing as Reed in the second round of the show? He is now shooting 46.1 percent from three-point range in the playoffs and is the 76ers' top scorer.

After thinking about it, the Zen master still decided to let George and Kobe Bryant wrap Reed in the final quarter, and if he didn't wrap it now, he was really afraid that he would be killed by this guy's three-point shot. As for Lewis, another three-point shooting spot, Horry's defense is relatively good, after all, he has a lot of experience in the game, and he has not been a bastard in the league for so many seasons.

However, it is not so easy for George and Kobe to complete the pack, the 76ers have always maintained a V-shaped position, Reed and Bell rarely stand on one side, which means that Kobe and George's defensive positions are not on the same side, if you want to pack Reed, George must span the entire three-second zone to limit Reed with Kobe.

George is a relatively young player on the Lakers' roster and doesn't think it matters much about this kind of wide range of runs, but one thing he doesn't take into account is Reed's shooting speed. Reed is actually a player with a high ball quotient, and when he saw that his opponent wanted to make a pack, he quickly adjusted his shot, and he was already shooting before George could run over.

Seeing Reed make adjustments, the Zen Master smiled slightly, he didn't believe that any player could maintain the hit rate with such a rapid shot speed. But soon his smile froze on his face, and Reed didn't adjust at all after receiving the ball, pulling up and shooting, not only against Kobe's defense, but also into the basket, and it seemed that the quick shot did not bother him.

Chang Wei exhaled on the sidelines, fortunately he gave Reed special training on shooting before the game, otherwise he might not be able to deal with this situation now. Fast shooting may be difficult for most shooters, but it may be a little difficult for Reed, and the shooting percentage can be guaranteed, so how can the Lakers' bag be formed?

Now Kobe Bryant is going to bear more pressure, after all, Reid is his main defense, and Reed's continuous shooting from outside the three-point line makes him a little embarrassed. However, just as Kobe Bryant was about to put more effort on the defensive end, the Zen master told him through Fisher that he should stop deliberately caring about Reed, and try to fight back by scoring outside the three-point line!

At the same time, the Zen master also conveyed this instruction to Horry, and he and Kobe Bryant can be said to be the most reliable scoring points on the Lakers' outside line, and they also have the ability to shoot with the ball. Although Fisher and George can also shoot three-pointers, first, they don't dare to shoot directly, and second, they can't maintain their hands at such a critical time because they spend a lot of effort on the defensive end.

Kobe Bryant knew that his three-point shooting was not very stable, how to shoot when the feel came, and he didn't know what to do if the feeling didn't come. If it is replaced by Kobe Bryant in the future when the Lakers are successful, he can practice his hand by shooting a lot, but now he is only the second leader of the team, and if he keeps shooting, he will probably be sprayed to death by O'Neal.

So when the Zen master asked him to shoot more threes, Kobe Bryant did not strictly follow the instructions of the head coach, but selflessly attracted the opponent's defense, and then put the ball in Horry's hands. Relatively speaking, Horry receives much less defensive intensity than Kobe, and the difference between Bell and Lewis on the defensive end is similar to the difference between them on the offensive end, with Kobe being interfered with by Bell when he is offensive, and Lewis's defensive intensity is close to none when Horry shoots.

Horry made a name for himself with his shooting in crunch time, and he hit no less than those top stars. In addition to his good luck, Horry's three-point shooting and shut-out shots helped his team play a big role in the seven championship rings before retiring. Even later when he played for the Spurs, Horry's three-point shooting was an important part of the team's offensive strategy, not to mention that he is only 31 years old now, and his scoring ability is still at his peak.

What's more, now there is Kobe Bryant to help him attract defense, and he is facing a weak chicken on the defensive end like Lewis, and he is embarrassed not to shoot a few shots outside the three-point line. Although Horry is a little shorter than Lewis in height, but his physical strength is not comparable to Lewis, Lewis really can't stop him alone, and now Lewis's only idea is to shoot more shots outside the three-point line, after all, there are only 5 minutes left before the end of the game, and the difference between the two sides has always hovered within a few points, which is the final decisive moment of the game.
