Chapter 478: Lakers Championship?

103:103, Knicks and Lakers draw again!

With 1 minute and 48 seconds left in the game, the Lakers attack!

Li Wei shouted to Da Yao: "If he takes the ball, you will foul, don't think about anything else!" ”

"Good!" Da Yao nodded.

Li Wei's mouth is of course "O'Neill"!

In fact, strictly speaking, the shark cutting tactic is not a new invention of the old Nelson, as early as the early days of the NBA, people began to stare at the opponent's poor free throws at the last minute of the game to deliberately foul.

No one is stupid, and the coaches in the NBA who study how to play every day are even less likely to be stupid!

This deliberate foul reached its peak in Wilt Chamberlain's star-studded years!

Wilt Chamberlain, like O'Neal, was invincible under the basket, but his free throw shooting percentage was particularly poor. In those days, at the last moment of the game, Chamberlain's opponents would run after Chamberlain, and Chamberlain didn't want to make free throws, so he had to hide from everyone.

In order to prevent NBA games from turning into peek-a-boo, the league had to introduce a new rule: if a foul is committed in the last two minutes of the final quarter (and the last two minutes of overtime) against a player who is not involved in the offense, the offending team will receive one free throw (one free throw plus one possession). In the past 16 years, the NBA has changed the time limit on the use of this tactic to the last two minutes of each quarter.

Since people played shark hacking tactics decades ago, of course, there were no big sharks at that time, and they could only be called hacking tactics, why do everyone say that shark hacking tactics were invented by old Nelson?

Because after the rules were revised, slowly no one cut the shark (Zhang). But old Nelson didn't go off the beaten path and invented the regular time to cut sharks!

You won't let me cut in the last 2 minutes?

That's fine, I'll cut it in advance, I use the shark as an ordinary weapon, cut all the time, cut all the time, O'Neill will cut as soon as he gets the ball, no need to wait for the last 2 minutes!

Therefore, Nelson Sr. is not the inventor of shark cutting tactics, but the changers and promoters of shark cutting tactics!

In this game, Li Wei didn't deliberately cut the shark, and now it's time to cut in the last two minutes!

Of course, limited to the rules, O'Neal can't cut the Knicks if he doesn't participate in the attack, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses, but as soon as he gets the ball, he can cut it!

The Lakers are also well aware that they can't pass the ball to O'Neal at this moment, otherwise as soon as he catches the ball, the opposite side will cut the shark.

This is also the biggest weakness of the peak shark, when it comes to the critical moment, the players of his own team dare not give him the ball!

The Lakers played tactics, and after a few shifts, Kobe Bryant made a mid-range shot against Maddy's defense!

At 103:105, the Lakers led by 2 points again!

The fans at Staples Arena cheered Kobe Bryant!

There is 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the race!

The Knicks attacked, played a No. 44 tactic, the Lakers defended well, and Garnett finally forced a layup and didn't score!

There is 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the race!

Horry grabs a defensive rebound, and the Lakers attack!

They played a game with Robert Horry as the central axis, and after all the players ran around Horry, Kobe Bryant got the pass!

Maddie chased after the defense tightly and didn't give Kobe a chance to shoot!

At this time, Kobe Bryant found that the basket was empty, and only Da Yao was the only one to defend O'Neal, so he passed the ball without thinking about it!

When Da Yao saw O'Neill getting the ball, he didn't say a word, and hugged the other party directly!

O'Neill hung Da Yao and threw the ball out very reluctantly, but it didn't go in!

"Squeak——!

The referee's whistle sounded, Da Yao defended a foul, and O'Neal made a free throw!

The Lakers' MVP came to the free throw line, the first free throw, and the shot!

103:106!

The second penalty is short!

The tall Da Yao squeezed Horry under the basket and successfully protected the backcourt rebound!

With 53 seconds left in the game, the Knicks are still three points behind!

Stu Lanterz said: "I feel like I smell the champagne after the race! ”

Cheek Hearn said: "Don't worry, the Knicks still have a chance, but I also smell champagne!" ”

"Hahaha!" The two looked at each other and smiled.

The fans at the Staples Center Arena also seemed to see the Lakers win the championship and see the whole team opening champagne to celebrate, and the cheers became higher and higher!

Li Wei advanced with the ball and commanded the whole team to play a No. 15 tactic.

The first phase of the tactics failed, and in the second stage, Alan Houston had a not-so-good opportunity!

Li Wei chose to pass!

Houston took the ball and shot a two-point net!

105:106!

With 37 seconds left in the game, the Knicks are still one point behind!

Loftus-Cheek Hearn said: "Houston hit a very crucial goal, and he really deserves to be the big man in New York! ”

Stu Lanterz said: "We still have the lead, as long as the next offense can be played, the team can win the championship!" ”

Phil Jackson called a timeout to set up the offense for this crucial round!

At the same time, Li Wei also took over Byron Scott's tactical board and arranged the defense!

'They're definitely not going to give the ball to O'Neill because they know that as soon as O'Neill gets the ball, we're going to foul him. Phil Jackson will play the 24 seconds because the less time we have left, the more likely they are to win. Kobe Bryant is their preferred choice for the final offense, but Rice, Horry and others can't be underestimated. Alain, do you have a problem defending on Rice's side? If you're tired, let Bruce defend you! ”

Alan Houston said: "I'm not tired at all, I'm definitely going to guard against him!" ”

"Okay." Li Wei nodded.

He actually prefers to switch to Bowen to defend Glenn Rice, but Houston is the Knicks' big man, and it is not a problem not to keep him on the court at the last minute.

"Tracy, Kobe Bryant's over there." Li Weidao.

"No problem!" Maddie nodded.

After drawing the defense plan, the timeout is almost up, and the players of both teams are back on the field!

The Lakers serve, Kobe Bryant receives the ball!

He was slowly patting outside the three-point line, clearly stalling for time!

When there were 7 seconds left in this 24 seconds, Kobe Bryant finally moved, and he chose to break through Maddie alone!

Maddie is tight-fitting and close-fitting!

Kobe Bryant takes a strong shot against Maddy's defense!

The hearts of all Lakers fans are in their throats at this moment!

And then—

"Dang!"

Kobe Bryant hit the iron, Kobe Bryant hit the iron under Maddie's defense!

"Ouch!" Cheek Hearn let out a cry of annoyance, and Stu Lanterz stomped his feet in frustration!

However, a fat body suddenly appeared under the basket and held the ball with one hand!

"It's O'Neill!" Cheek Hearn shouted excitedly!

Stu Lanterz likewise screamed, "He grabbed the offensive rebound!" ”

O'Neal worked hard to squeeze away from Da Yao and grabbed the offensive rebound!

He knew that as long as he fell to the ground, Da Yao would rush over and foul, so he couldn't land!

He's going to make up for it in the air!

It's too late, it's too fast, O'Neill holds the ball with one hand and throws it into the air!

This kind of close-range basket, he is still nine out of ten!

But as soon as the ball left his hand, a thin figure pounced!

It's Li Wei!

O'Neill was taken aback: "Why are you again?" ”
