Chapter 555: The Bull Blows Up
The difference of six points may not seem like much, but it is already a dangerous sign for the two strong teams. If you play well, you have to catch up in half a quarter, and if you don't play well, the score is very likely to be pulled away, and the defeat is like a mountain, and in the end it is very likely to bury this focus battle.
In competitive competition, mentality is one of the key factors to win. Sometimes, it's a small detail that can make the difference between a match. The next performance of the bulls fully verified this!
With six points trailing, this is the first time that the Bulls have met a god this season. Not to mention falling behind, from the beginning of the regular season, no matter which team you face, it is already very face-saving if you don't beat the opponent in the third quarter, and it can be regarded as a failing performance. And the current situation has not happened for a long time, how can everyone's hearts not be nervous.
If the Lakers are defeated, the opponents behind them are all vulnerable teams on the books, and it is very promising to break the 60 consecutive wins that Yi Yang once created. This is an unearthly feat that has not been done by Yi Yang! The pressure on the Bulls to win is even much heavier than that of the Lakers.
Turning back and fighting again, Rudolph, who ran out of the open space, got a great opportunity to shoot a three-pointer. This kind of unmarked empty three-point shooting is basically nine out of ten in training, even if the German sniper rifle should have 80% of the hits.
However, what was unexpected was that the three-point shot was a little stronger, and the "bang" smashed on the neck of the basket, and the ball bounced out diagonally.
It is common to miss long-range shots, and the key is to scramble for rebounds in the front court, which requires players with rich court experience to make the most accurate judgment.
Fighting for rebounds depends not only on height and jump, but also on the direction of the ball and the timing of the jump. Since the implementation of the "sharp knife" tactics, the Lakers have not invested much in defense, especially against the Bulls, Donkey Kong's absolute interior advantage has made the Los Angeles people choose more tactical abandonment on the defensive end. In order to save energy, Teague was basically in the second half.
What is a superstar is the ability to be on the spot at a critical moment. Just when all the Bulls players were about to grab the rebound and organize a second offense, a purple No. 11 figure shot out again.
The timing and direction judgment was accurate, and the key rebound was suddenly lost. Originally, Yi Yang planned to receive the baseline ball before Rudolph made a move, but a slight wrist shake by the German player made the old ball skin extremely happy.
This ball is too powerful, and the opportunity is rare! For most players, only when the ball is shot, can the landing point be judged from the trajectory of its movement, and what kind of person is Yi Yang! Unparalleled reading prediction, with the most perfect time and space to capture the gap.
The key rebound arrived, and before the Bulls players had time to react, Yi Yang did not stick to the ball, and with a flick of one arm, the ball flew over most of the court and flew to Teague, who had already retreated to the opponent's half.
Trash talker's eyes lit up, this pass was so timely! How could I let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? This season, all the Lakers players are willing to make green leaves for Satan the Great, and scoring seems to have been a thing of the last century. What a delight it would be to be able to get a slam dunk on the bull's chassis!
Seeing that the Bulls defense was no one to keep up, the ball passed accurately and in place, Teague took the long pass, and the "old" body glowed with a second spring. Throwing the ball onto the rebound like a performer, a skillful folding dunk made the Bulls players' eyes almost explode!
It's not enough for you! Load B! Naked outfit B! Can you die if you honestly hit the ball? What are you without Young's cooperation? You thunderbolt!
Especially Donkey Kong Victor, the anger and frustration in his heart can no longer be hidden! At this time, there are two unforgivable sinners in his eyes, the first one is Rudolph, and the second is Teague!
Rushing in front of his German teammates, the spittle of this goods spurted out, his huge face was bruised, and the trash talk was endless. completely treats the German players as Yi Yang, and cannot tolerate a little mistake and failure.
Seeing this, Rose was willing to slack off, and hurriedly asked for a timeout, this goal obviously blew up the mentality of his players, if he can't deal with it in time, seeing that the most taboo infighting is about to happen, then there is no need to play in the last quarter.
The reason is that the timeout is also very reasonable, but the mentality of Chicagoans cannot be changed by the comfort and encouragement of the coach.
It's been a whole few years, and the Bulls haven't suffered this kind of wretchedness, and they have always been the master of bullying others on the court, when have they ever been so humiliated!
It's just that the score is behind, an outdated inside player actually plays self-throwing and self-deduction under his nose? This is not a slap in the face, this is merciless contempt!
There are more than 9 points left in the last quarter of the game, and the time is completely in time, but the object of this time is by no means the Lakers, the Lakers with Yi Yang!
The Lakers are 8 points ahead, how could this strongest player in today's league be willing to give up such a great advantage!
With this buckle, the Lakers' morale soared, and their confidence was even more full, and Teague added fuel to the fire with a gesture of 100,000 US dollars, which made this group of little students scream, full of energy, and naturally worked hard.
has been at the top for a long time, and the ability to accept defeat is definitely not as good as before it became famous. Always high up and suddenly descending into the mortal world, this period of discomfort naturally takes time.
The bull's mentality began to explode, panic like an invisible plague, gradually spreading to the emotions of the whole team, on the surface it seemed to be calm, but inside it was extremely nervous.
If you are afraid of losing, you can't let go of your mentality, and your technical movements are easy to stiffen and deform, and your shooting percentage will naturally decline. In this way, the score difference slowly widens, and the time becomes tighter and tighter.
The cold feel seems to be contagious to everyone, and the three-point counterattack does not dare to be used at will, so it can only rely on the coordination of the pass, initiated by the inside line, and adopt steady and steady tactics. The Lakers' offensive points are all on Yi Yang, with a smooth hand, and a nearly two-digit scoring finale, and he is extremely confident and easy to shoot.
One is getting more and more energetic, the other is getting more and more anxious, seeing that there are less than three minutes left before the end of the game, the score is still wandering at 11 points, and the gambling three points have little effect. The tighter the time, the more panicked it became, the chasing points turned into pulling points, and the bulls, who had blown up their mentality, lost the second meeting between the two teams 103-116 in frustration.
