Chapter 473: Nash Injured

"Li Wei beat up the Los Angeles reporter, hatting the other party a hundred times", soon became a small news, and appeared in major newspapers and magazines in New York.

Many fans think that the media is bragging, and they think that the Los Angeles reporter is To. Because Coach Li's level is very good, everyone who watches the game knows it!

This is a matter of perspective, Li Wei competes with NBA-level players all day long, so fans think he is very vegetable, but in front of ordinary people, no one can beat him!

It's like the smallest elephant in a herd, and the largest mouse in the herd can still be easily trampled to death!

Li Wei naturally didn't care about the fans who doubted the authenticity of the incident, and the reporters in Los Angeles taught him a whim.

The Knicks are going to prepare for the Finals, and that's the most important thing for him to do.

On June 19, U.S. time, Game 6 of the Finals was moved to the Los Angeles Lakers' home court.

Ticket prices at Staples Arena are skyrocketing, and fans are getting excited, everyone wants to see the Lakers lift the championship trophy on their home court!

But it's a pity that the Knicks had to play like a rainbow at the beginning, and the Lakers were suppressed very badly, because the Lakers were the side leading by a big score, so although the referee gave a few home whistles, they didn't take too much care.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks led by 11 points!

Lakers commentator Cheek Hearn is one of the NBA's most legendary commentators, serving as a Lakers commentator since 1960, and has made indelible contributions to the promotion of the Lakers and even the entire NBA. "America's Best Commentator of the Year", "Best Commentator in California", "Ace Announcer" and other big and small awards, he has won all the big and small awards.

In the past life, the Lakers not only retired a microphone-printed jersey for Cheek Hearn, but also erected a bronze statue of him at the Staples Center.

Before Hearn, the Lakers only had a bronze statue of Magic Johnson, and bronze statues of Jerry West, Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal and others were erected after Hearn. This person who has never been on the court is heavier than many famous players in the team!

Loftus-Hearn was not only a Lakers label, but also a celebrity in Los Angeles, and after his death, the City of Los Angeles renamed 11th Street west of Staples Center as "Cheek Hearn Arena Street"!

In '03, Cheek Hearn was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, the first legend in NBA history to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a commentator!

At this moment, seeing the team behind, Cheek Hearn is not very happy: "Coach Jackson needs to adjust the team's style of play, and it can be seen that the Knicks' arrangement today is very targeted!" ”

Stu Lanterz, next to Cheek Hearn, is a former NBA player, 1.91 meters tall, who was drafted by the Rockets in 1968 and played for the Lakers at the end of his career. Since 87, he has partnered with Hearn to comment on Lakers games, and he is also a famous mouth.

Stu Lanterz said: "We have to guard against the opponent's shots, and once a team like the Knicks shoots away, the consequences are unimaginable!" ”

Commenting on how to defend the Knicks in headaches, so does Phil Jackson. In the current NBA, no team can stretch the space on the court to the extreme like the Knicks!

Luckily, the Knicks' offense was unsolvable, and neither was the Lakers' offense. When you have a monster like a big shark, no one can defend alone, and there are always empty spaces on the field. So the Lakers don't need to completely guard the Knicks, they just need to reduce the opponent's shooting percentage.

Once the Knicks' shooting percentage drops, the Lakers can rely on the unmatched dominance of Big Shark O'Neal to win the final victory!

"Cheer me up, this is our home stadium and we want to win here today! Do you want to lift the championship today? Phil Jackson roared.

"Yes!" The Lakers players said in unison.

"If you want to, give me a little more aggressive and fierce on the defensive end! You played like a bunch of in the first half! Jackson scolded.

The second half began with the Lakers' defensive intensity rising sharply.

The physical altercation between the players of the two teams began to intensify, and after the referee blew two fouls, he did not blow again in the face of the boos of the fans in the audience!

Midway through the third quarter, Robert Horry pushed Nash to the ground during a defensive run, and Nash suffered a contusion on the wrist and swollen to the thickness of his calf!

Although Nash still wanted to continue playing, his injured hand could not control the ball freely, and Li Wei saw this, so he had to replace him.

Li Wei is here!

When Li Wei came to the court, the Lakers players immediately looked at each other tacitly.

Before the game, Phil Jackson had a targeted arrangement for Li Wei, and now it's time to blow him up!

Li Wei soon found himself targeted. Phil Jackson has tweaked his triangular offensive system, and all tactics are to prioritize making others and him 1v1!

was beaten four times in a row, and the offensive end was not smooth, and the Lakers chased the score back at once!

Loftus-Cheek Hearn said: "Beautiful offense and defense, we have nothing to do with the Knicks!" ”

Stu Lanterz said: "The Knicks' regular season routine is that Li Wei misses one person, and the whole team makes up for it. But now, if they want to restrain O'Neal, they will definitely not be able to give Li Wei more support, and Li Wei alone can't prevent any of our players! ”

The score was caught up, and Li Wei's brows furrowed.

Nash also suffered an injury midway through the season, and when Nash is unavailable and the team needs to defend, he usually uses Hornacek as a point guard.

But in the second game of this series, Hornacek's old injury recurred, his knee was swollen, and he was not playing at all!

After a dead ball, Li Wei decided to send Dale Curry to play a temporary cameo as a point guard, although Curry's defense is not very good, but he has height and will not be forcibly eaten!

But after Curry came on the court, although the defensive effect was better than Li Wei, the offensive end was completely unreasonable!

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 77:82, the Knicks trailed by 5 points, and the Lakers outscored their opponents by 16 points in a single quarter, taking the advantage, and it seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the 12th championship trophy in their team history!

Li Wei took a deep breath and said to everyone: "In the last quarter, I will still play the point guard, and you should pay attention to making up for me." ”

The Knicks nodded in unison.

Nash and Hornacek are both injured, Dell Curry is not playing well, and Li Wei is going to play, of course, no one has an opinion.

Li Wei said: "Cheer up, we can definitely win, even if Nash is injured, the Lakers may not be able to limit us!" ”

"That's right, we're the defending champions!" Garnett thumped his chest and roared.

The whole Knicks team, driven by him, also roared together!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Wei, Bowen, Nowitzki, Big Ben, and Nesterovic appeared!

The Lakers' five are Derrick Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Rick Fox, Robert Horry, and Shaquille O'Neal!

Derek Fisher advances with the ball, and Li Wei clings to the defense!

Fisher tactically handed the ball to the team's substitute Fox, went around in a circle, and ran back to the top of the arc!

Fox received the ball, passed to Bryant, and then ran to the bottom left corner with O'Neal's cover at lightning speed. Nowitzki chased after the defense tightly and did not give him a chance to open the spot!

Horry holds the ball and wants to give it to O'Neal, but Bowen shows up in his passing lane at the right time!

So he turned his hand and threw the ball to Kobe Bryant!

As soon as Kobe Bryant received the ball, Bowen pounced, and the Lakers' No. 8 passed the ball almost instantly!

It was a precise lob and O'Neill got on it!

However, the moment O'Neal received the ball, Bowen immediately dropped Kobe, and Li Wei also dropped Fisher and pounced on O'Neal together!

O'Neill squeezed Nesterovich and didn't squeeze, at this time Li Wei and Bowen's bag had arrived!

Seeing that he was being defended by three again, Ao Fat frowned and gave the ball to Fisher!
