Chapter 365: You Did It On Purpose, Didn't You?
"You're not the protagonists, people don't want to see you win, your dreams are worthless, stop struggling!"
Zhang Mao's trash talk after the equalizer was very heartfelt, but few people really wanted to see the script of the Clippers beating the Lakers, and in the BA playoffs, there has never been a situation where the home team has been booed by their own fans, and the Clippers are the first in the world.
After the Lakers equalized the score, Zhang Fu now has to think about how to get the "five doubles", because it is no longer a problem to turn defeat into victory. Once the Clippers can't shoot a lot of fairy shots, the Lakers will be anti-guest in all aspects, and the deuce in this case means that the Clippers will soon be carried away by a wave.
In the final three minutes of the game, Bryant drew a foul on Jones from beyond the three-point line and finally got three free throws.
But before that, Kidd and Mason had already hit one goal each, and after Kobe Bryant hit two of three free throws, the Lakers still led by two points.
In the last 2 minutes and 33 seconds, Zhang Fu saw the opportunity to complete another steal on the inside, but after breaking the ball, he realized that what he needed was a block, and no matter how many steals he made, it was useless.
"yes, what's the use of me stealing?"
Zhang Zhu was entangled in his heart, and there was a flaw in the originally skillful dribbling, just as Kobe was not convinced and wanted to break one, Zhang Zhu made a rare mistake in the counter-robbery between Finley and Kobe.
"What, baby koala actually lost the ball, did the Clippers get lucky?"
"Well, the Chinese call this a pie that fell from the sky, but the meat filling is usually dog meat."
"The Clippers have a chance to equalize, it's a rare opportunity for them!"
"Lyon had a steal, one of the few mistakes I've seen in his career!"
“……”
In addition to the fact that some people habitually hack China, the commentators of various countries have the same attitude towards Zhang Fu and the Lakers, and there are really not many people who want to see the Clippers win.
However, they ignore another possibility, and when Zhang Yu turns around and pounces under the basket with the speed of a mechanical gun, some people should wonder: this reaction speed is too fast, right?
Bryant broke the ball and rushed to the basket, and after a picturesque turn past Mason, he was in front of a basket that could be found with his eyes closed.
Mutombo said: I can't help this ball, O'Neill stopped him behind him, and this ball can only look at Zhang Mao himself.
"I'm in the back, and you dare to dunk?"
Zhang Zhu was not gotten rid of at all, and when Kobe Bryant flew to dunk, Zhang Zhu once again stretched out his evil big hand behind him.
"♂ Boom! It was Kobe Bryant who screamed this time, he may have forgotten the previous pain, and he didn't expect that Zhang Mao would deliberately make a mistake to let him shoot.
Zhang Zhu doesn't even know if he is stupid, but this is definitely a good way to make something out of nothing, how can he lead people to take the bait if he doesn't throw bricks and lead jade first?
Chinese fans believe that in addition to throwing bricks and attracting jade, Zhang Fu also wanted to capture and deliberately let Kobe Bryant complete the offense, so that he could secretly cross Chen Cang and achieve his ultimate goal.
But don't think that's the end of it, Zhang Zhu said that he still has a trick to close the door and beat the dog at the end, when Kobe Bryant was chopped off by the big hand behind him, Zhang Zhu did not use his "middle door but people" reaction to snatch the basketball back, but watched Kobe Bryant pick the basketball back again.
"You TM fast pitch!"
Zhang knew that one block was not enough, and he was still two short of completing five pairs.
Kobe Bryant is also a real head iron, and most people will definitely not dare to vote anymore in the face of this situation, because Zhang Yu is behind, but Kobe Bryant just dares to vote!
With a "snap", Zhang Qi would not miss such an opportunity, and after a slap, he got the ninth block.
But now, fans all over the world have seen Zhang Fu's true intentions.
"He did it on purpose?"
"Why didn't he steal the ball?"
"Because he did it on purpose!"
"This is so shameless, is he swiping data?"
"Of course not, if you have the ability, you can also shoot every shot of the opponent!"
"That's it, you can't deduct it, who is the blame?"
"But ......"
"Don't do it anymore, or burn down your house!"
“……”
Obviously, Zhang Fu's behavior has once again been recognized by the majority of fans, although there is a strong suspicion of deliberately brushing data, but his last cap is not fake at all, and it is useless to think about the stone hammer, because Zhang Fu's reaction ability is enough to demonstrate what it means to be "in the middle of the door".
Besides, wouldn't it be over if you just poured the ball straight in?
Now that it's covered, it's your own problem, and you can't complain about it.
The only pity is that Zhang Fu didn't grasp the angle of the block this time, and the basketball flew directly out of bounds, otherwise the 10th block might have arrived.
The referee on the bottom line was frightened, only to see Zhang Yu fly and jump again, and actually killed him in his direction with the basketball.
Thankfully, NBA referees aren't like some coaches who are out of shape or too old to exercise. These referees who want to follow the players for a whole game must have excellent physical fitness and physical condition, and their reaction speed is naturally much better than that of ordinary people.
"It's a pity~!"
Of course, Zhang Qi is not a pity that he didn't hurt the referee, he is a pity that this ball was not saved, so the basketball is equivalent to being touched out of bounds by him, and the Clippers have the ball.
Kobe Bryant only reacted at this time, he almost sacrificed himself just now and completed the first "5 pairs" performance in Zhang Fu's history.
It's terrible, it's a shame that you can't erase for the rest of your life!
Kobe Bryant was a little frightened, he really didn't know that the routines in the world were so deep?
Zhang Yu looked at his 15 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists, 11 steals, 9 blocks and 9 turnovers for a while, the reason does not need to be dictated, whoever gets such data will be happy and painful, because it is a little bit away from a miracle!
The Clippers asked for a timeout, they need to calm down and study how to play this offense by the way?
Actually, Zhang Qian now has the best way to pretend to be forced, that is, not to fight.
Back then, Larry Bird had a chance to be the first player to score a quadruple-double, but he gave up in the fourth quarter to continue playing, and this B pretend has been used to sing the praises every now and then, and Zhang has a chance to complete a bigger 213 at this time.
But the problem is that Bird pretended to be B when the outcome was decided, and the Lakers have not locked up the victory now. Moreover, since he has already pulled down his face to brush the data, it seems a bit redundant to play this set at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
"This can't be pretended", Zhang Wei shook his head, and quickly gave up such a way of pretending.
Now, there is only one choice in front of him - to officially win the "5 pairs", which is more impactful than any 213.
After the timeout, Zhang Qian looked at Kobe Bryant and the Clippers players with completely different eyes, now he can not care about all statistics except for "blocks", he can sacrifice himself on the offensive end, but he must let him complete the final finish on the defensive end.
This would explain why he would take the initiative to play on the inside, and he also wanted to play the center position, which is so unusual.
Of course, Larry Drew didn't indulge Zhang Ji so much, and only let him go to the fourth position to partner with Mutombo, and the outside lineup became Kidd, Starks, and Jones.
The three's tight defense is also dirty, and with Zhang Zhu and Mutombo on the inside, the Lakers' tight defense has become more pressing.
As soon as Kobe Bryant saw such a lineup, and then thought of the difficulty of breaking through this set of defenses, he couldn't help but feel a trace of helplessness in his heart, which was more like an impossible task.
However, Zhang Qi quickly regretted playing with his life.
He wants to lure the snake out of the hole, but first he has to show the flaws, but the Lakers' defense is too dense now, and even Kobe Bryant doesn't dare to break in again, so who else is he going to cover? Covering yourself is not a cap!
In the last 1 minute and 46 seconds, the score came to 113:111, and the Lakers still led by two points.
Cassel gave the ball to O'Neal, and Zhang hesitated to go to the bag in time, but this hesitation allowed O'Neal to shoot under the basket.
"Bang dang!"
O'Neal missed this close-range turnaround layup?
Mutombo just secretly cursed that Zhang Zhu's assistance defense did not exist at all, and at this moment, when he saw that the layup that was close at hand did not score, he quickly put the ball away.
"You're going to let them vote again! Isn't it okay to give it one more chance? ”
Zhang Mao was also secretly scolding in his heart, he also rushed to the basket, as long as O'Neal could grab the rebound and shoot again, he was sure to cover the ball, but Mutombo, the old dog, did not give O'Neal another chance at all.
The Lakers attacked, Zhang Qian was of course not interested in attacking in the face of the bag defense, but he didn't expect Starks to suddenly explode, and he actually singled out Kobe Bryant, and he dunked once under the basket, and he didn't care about the little pot friend at all.
"I can't go on like this, I have to play overtime to have a chance to complete 5 pairs!"
Zhang knew that it would be too difficult to get a block in one minute, and only going to overtime would give him more leeway.
The Lakers defended, Zhang Yu wrapped O'Neal in time this time, although it was a bit of a lack of effort, but he would never be passive at the moment of the block.
But he didn't expect that O'Neal, who knew that he had a problem with his physical strength, quickly passed the ball to his outside teammates this time.
Kassel missed a three-pointer in an empty position, and Kidd said: I did my best!
Kidd did his best, and the ball had already gone to cover O'Neal, and it was completely unnecessary for him to go to the leg again.
Therefore, this is obviously a deliberate attempt to put Cassel to shoot three points, but these opponents are suddenly not powerful, not to mention the various fairy balls in the first three quarters, they can't even throw this kind of vacant position now, it's really a waste!
Zhang Wei agreed, aren't these Clippers guys expiring on their plug-ins, right?
If it really doesn't work, he's willing to pay for them to renew for a second.
This second is not good, the Clippers players really have no strength, otherwise O'Neal's close shot just now will not miss.
The Lakers attacked, and O'Neal slowed down when he returned to defense, and he couldn't keep up with Mutombo's pace.
But it didn't matter, Zhang Yu successfully threw the ball in the double bag.
The Clippers won the rebound, but the speed of Cassel's advancement was different from the first three quarters, and his teammates could sprint except for Finley, and even Kobe Bryant couldn't run at the moment, at least he sprinted far less quickly than in the first three quarters.
But it still doesn't matter, Zhang and Kidd are not in the main defensive position, Cassel sent a wonderful pass, and Finley cut to the basket to score two points.
The score is 115:113, and the difference between the two teams is still two points.
The game time entered the last minute, Zhang Qian still didn't have to pretend to be anything on the offensive end, he was really difficult to have a scoring opportunity, and the Clippers were still wrapping him.
However, it's even worse for the Clippers, as the rest of the team isn't going to be playing on the offensive end for his five-double. Kidd played a little on the defensive end, and with a small shake of his hand on the offensive end, he assisted Jones to score two more points.
It hurts, and now with 40 seconds left in the game, Eddie Jones' two points were enough to kill the game because one attack couldn't equalize the game.
The Clippers can only ask for a timeout, and the next offense is very crucial, and if they still can't score, the Lakers can wear out the Clippers by dragging out time.
It was the Clippers' last timeout, and O'Neal used the minute to regain a bit of energy, but it wasn't him who saved the team, but Brent Barry, who came off the bench.
The white guard of the Clippers hit a key three-pointer on Starks' head after the timeout, which also made Zhang see that there was hope for his "5 doubles".
"The cap is really hard to get!"
Zhang Wei now realizes the rarity of "block" data, not to mention whether you can cover the opponent's shot, if people don't play inside at all, then you don't even have a chance to block, so in the five items of scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks, the most difficult double is the "block".
The Lakers offense, the last 25 seconds of the game are left, and it stands to reason that it is the wisest thing to choose to delay the time, and the Clippers finally dare not have more people to wrap up Zhang Fu this time, otherwise let others easily score two points, and they can even avoid foul tactics.
But there is also a big danger in spreading the single defense like this, and if Zhang Yi singles Lau, I'm afraid it will still be accurate, so with a familiar phrase from Battle, the current Clippers can be described - there is not much time left for them.
"Bang dang!"
Zhang Yu didn't even play anymore, he actually shot when there were 16 seconds left in the offensive time, and the arc of this ball was different from his previous lines full of power, the arc of this ball is called a high, there are few such shooting arcs three or four stories high in the NBA, is this the legendary "rainbow shot"?
"No matter which way you look at it, this difficult rainbow arc will make you feel hopeless."
"For someone else, this kind of bad shooting can only make the coach lose his hair; But for Leon, you just have to shout 666. ”
"Everybody has the best shot for them, but Lyon have the ability to make quick breaks at any second."
“……”
This is the reaction of commentators from various countries after Zhang Mao made a shot.
Everyone also saw that this shooting arc was so high that after people finished saying a big sentence, the familiar "swish" sound sounded in people's ears!
But Zhang Yu swore that he would never want to hear such a beautiful sound at this time, because this sound meant that his dream of "five pairs" was shattered!
At this time, along with him, the Clippers lost their dreams, and Zhang Mao's rainbow shot completely sentenced them to death.
Everyone knew that the fate of the Clippers players going home to fish was inevitable. Zhang's shot brought the difference between the two sides to 5 points, and 15 seconds was not enough time to tie the score, even if the Clippers brought in Reggie Miller and another koala baby, miracles are not rotten street things.
"Do you really think I'm going to let you live until overtime for just five pairs?"
Zhang Qi also reacted quickly, although his heart was like ashes after the goal, but this force always had to be pretended, and immediately went in the direction of the Clippers player, and reluctantly said such a snack that even made him blush.
The Clippers players chose to turn a blind eye to Zhang Mao's words, they have begun to pretend to be ostriches, who let this be the best means to protect themselves after losing, they can only make themselves comfortable if they don't look at it at all, don't think about it, don't listen to it, although this is only suitable for some people.
But whether the defeat is decided or not, and the game is not over yet, this last offense, the Clippers players still have to be interesting.
Kassel handed the basketball to Kobe Bryant after dribbling over half court, and "Peter Pan" was certainly not afraid to take the blame, and picked up the ball and was ready to brush up two more points.
Starks defended very well this time, and he was so angry that he secretly gritted his teeth, and he had already decided to kick out such an eyeless teammate.
If he is a good teammate, then he should put Kobe Bryant in to shoot, because then he has a chance to get one.
However, this bastard used death entanglement to deal with Kobe, although the first three games have proved that Starks can't entangle Kobe now, but now Peter Pan's physical strength is red, but there is a tiger over there, of course, the result is different, Kobe was trapped outside the three-point line by Starks alone.
"It's so bad!"
Zhang Zhu is now playing on the inside, if Kobe Bryant can't get in, then he has nothing to do, especially seeing that there is less and less time, Zhang Zhu knows that there is not much time left for him, so he can only take the initiative to kill out and trap.
Bryant now has two options, one is to force a shot in the last six seconds, and the other is to pass the ball quickly.
Generally speaking, Kobe Bryant is such an iron-headed person, he should choose the first method.
But now that Kobe Bryant, who knows that scoring a goal has nothing to do with the overall situation, he finally chose to pass the ball, and he didn't want Zhang to have a chance to get another block on his head.
Zhang Wei didn't expect that Kobe, who has been the leader in this series, would choose to pass in the last attack? But after all, it was not his willing choice, Kobe Bryant's pass seemed to have a problem, Zhang Fu subconsciously reached out and pounced, and actually stopped the ball?
"But...... Is this any use? ”
Zhang Yu himself was confused, what was the use of him wanting this steal now?
The Clippers players also knew that a steal was completely useless to Zhang, so no one came to fight back after losing the ball.
Zhang Zhu just stopped the ball with a pounce posture, and if the Clippers player grabbed it at the first time, he had every chance to take the ball back. But players on both sides will be watching as Zhang Yi first holds the ground with his hands, and then takes the ball into his arms.
Don't ask why, there are only three seconds left on the timer, and it doesn't matter where the ball belongs.
"What do I want this steal for? What if I have nine caps? ”
Zhang Yu also knew that it was all useless, and in his heart, he threw the basketball towards the opponent's front court before he could stand up, and the result was naturally thrown directly out of bounds.
However, when the basketball he spat on flew out of bounds, there were 1.1 seconds left on the game time.
So, the timer that has been slow for the past two days, it has stopped the watch again......
