Chapter 95: The Western Decisive Falls
As soon as the game began, the Lakers burst out with a strong fighting spirit, and Kobe Bryant exploded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info scored 15 points in five minutes, 6-of-6 shooting.
This stunned Adelman and immediately replaced him with Wu Di, but Kobe Bryant had already gone berserk, and Wu Di went up to no avail. Although he has the title of Krypton, he is not Krypton after all, and he can't let Kobe Bryant return to normal from his berserk state.
Seeing that Wu Di couldn't prevent Kobe, Adelman's face darkened, and he called a timeout and reprimanded Wu Di fiercely.
But who can blame this be? Blame Wu Di? Before Wu Di played, Kobe Bryant exploded, and Battier couldn't let it go, but now he let Wu Di come to the top cylinder.
Wu Di glanced at Adelman lightly, and then sat on the bench speechlessly, without saying a word.
Adelman said that he was a little tired, but he couldn't get angry when he saw Wu Di's appearance. He really wanted to replace Wu Di, but after thinking about it, he replaced Maddie instead, replaced Battier, let Battier defend Kobe, and Wu Di assisted in defense, and he would be caught up when he had the right opportunity.
This is the first time Wu Di has wrapped up others, but Wu Di is no stranger to bag clips. He and Battier's bag did limit Kobe, but the Lakers' other big three and the Rockets three were no match at all.
In the middle, Wu Di also tried to let go of Kobe for a while, but he didn't expect Kobe to be like a doping, as long as he let go of him for a while, he immediately felt bursting, and Battier had no power to fight back.
The Rockets lost to the Lakers, basically losing to Kobe Bryant alone.
On the 28th, the fourth game began. Bryant, who exploded in the last game, felt cold, and only scored 6 points on 2-of-8 shooting under Battier's blindfolding.
With such a shooting rate, Wu Di didn't need to play at all, and the Lakers fell behind. After Wu Di played, the Lakers were even more vulnerable.
However, in the middle of the second quarter, all the players present seemed to be infected by Kobe, and everyone felt cold, and the basketball kept smashing on the basket, just not falling into the basket.
Wu Di's hand is not very good, but there is a kind of ball that does not need to be touched, Wu Di immediately rushed into the inside line after Da Yao's pass, and under Gasol's defense, the dunk was successful, and also caused Gasol's foul.
Attacking the basket, both the Lakers and the Rockets want to attack the basket, because that's the only way to score. The Lakers were also ready to attack the basket, but Kobe Bryant was guarded and could only watch Gasol and Odom.
Gasol and Odom are also close on the inside, and Uncle Mu and Scola have a hard time defending them.
Both sides are vying for position under the basket, as the closer you are to the basket, the higher the probability of scoring. Wu Di saw that the restricted area was overcrowded, and it was impossible to kill it.
There was no way, Wu Di dribbled and threw off Ariza, made a quick stop jump shot on the outside, and shot a three-point shot! Although there was some haste in the shot, it completely shook off Ariza.
After a three-point shot, the basketball plunged into the basket.
Everyone immediately looked at Wu Di, everyone felt bad, you can shoot alone, it's not fair!
So the Lakers began to besiege Wu Di and prevent him from shooting. The two sides fought for each other, and soon it was halftime, and the Lakers fell behind.
At the beginning of the second half, the main forces of both sides all appeared, and the two sides played hot again. The main force of the Rockets appeared, and Wu Di's possession was once again deprived of the ball, and he could only devote himself to the defense of Kobe.
However, the strength of the two teams is equal, and it is not easy for the Lakers to catch up with the score, and it is difficult for the Rockets to pull away the score. In this way, the stalemate until the end of the game, the two sides still have a 7-point difference.
The Lakers lost one game at home, and the situation was not good.
Once again, the two teams moved to Houston for a fateful match.
If the Lakers want to win, they will have to win all three of their remaining games. However, after a long silence, Maddie suddenly broke out.
As a superstar, Maddie has his own pride, and he has always been accumulating his strength. The Rockets have been in the playoffs all the way, and Maddy's credit is not the greatest, and if you do it seriously, he is not even the second largest.
The biggest credit is given to Da Yao, who averaged 25 points per game in the playoffs, ranking first in the playoffs. The second credit is Wu Di, who defended Anthony in the playoffs, restrained the Jazz, and defended Kobe, all the hard work was done.
Maddie felt guilty about it, so he wanted to contribute his part to help the Rockets win the championship. Then he broke out, and Maddie who broke out was terrible, and no one on the Lakers could stop him, Kobe Bryant, Ariza couldn't come over, and Maddy's pull-up jumper quickly defeated them.
In the end, there was no way, and the Zen master actually asked Odom to defend Maddie. I have to say that the Zen master is really level, Odom is a well-rounded player, basically the only player in the active team who can play from the number one position to the number five position.
Odom's defense isn't as good as Kobe and Ariza, but Odom has one advantage, and that's being tall enough.
Maddie was still under pressure when he shot against Odom. Odom couldn't block Maddie, but Maddie had to put up with Odom's interference, and his shooting percentage dropped a lot.
Odom went to defend Maddy, and the inside had to come off the bench, and Turyaf replaced Ariza on the field against Scola.
Scola is a rookie, but he has been playing in Argentina for many years. Scola was originally a rookie in '02, but the Spurs didn't sign him until the signing rights were traded to the Rockets, and the Rockets signed Scola with him.
Argentina played basketball at a very high level, and in '04, they even beat the United States to win the gold medal. It was when he was in the national team that the skills shown by Scola made the Rockets very tempted, and he was traded from the Spurs for the signing rights.
Turiaf used to be a great player, but his strength has declined in recent years, and when facing Scola, the two are half a catty!
However, the Lakers have three interior players, resulting in a lack of interior rotation for the Lakers. In the fourth quarter, Gasol almost lost his strength and finally had to go to rest.
The collapse of the interior line left the Lakers without a chance to play the next game, and the Rockets defeated the Lakers 4-1 to advance to the Finals.
On the 31st, the game between the Celtics and the Pistons also had a result, and the Celtics defeated the Pistons 4-2 and became the opponent of the Rockets.
The first game of the Grand Final was played on June 6, with plenty of time for both sides to rest. During this period, both teams have assigned a large number of tactics against each other's players in the hope of winning against each other.
