Chapter 47: The Washington Bullets (Part II)
Linam also spotted his mistakes, but he didn't want to call a timeout, because the situation on the team seemed to be stable for the time being, and the first quarter was coming to an end, so he didn't need to waste another one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, with less than 5 seconds left in the first quarter, Bryant received the ball with his off-ball run, and then shot it from the right wing.
What's worse is that Channy was just blocked by the Lakers' backup center Campbell, and when he got rid of Campbell's human wall, he had already seen Kobe Bryant ready to shoot.
So he threw himself on it.
The ball goes in, the whistle blows!
Kobe Bryant played 2+1.
With the penalty hit, Muresan sent the ball to Strickland, who was about to receive it.
However, at the moment when Murraysan just sent the ball, Bryant's figure appeared like a lightning bolt on Murraysan's passing route, and he cut the ball off with one palm.
Fisher, who was about to retreat, saw Kobe steal the Bullets' serve, and he ran back very quickly to meet Kobe.
There were 2 seconds left in the time, although Kobe Bryant was flat in front of him, but it was too late to make a layup, Kobe Bryant's corner of his eye glanced at Fisher, who rushed to him, and he didn't hesitate and passed the ball directly.
Fisher received the ball, he was one step away from the three-point line, and the clock was running out of the box to make him think about it, so he went straight to the shot.
"Drop"
The red light of the rebound came on to announce the end of the first quarter, and at the same time, a basketball crossed a graceful arc and plunged into the basket with precision.
Fisher hit a three-pointer from the buzzer.
The difference of two points, which had been chased by the Bullets team, was quickly stretched to 8 points in just a few seconds.
Linam slammed his fist on the tactical board in frustration, and the basketball court was changing in an instant, and he could only explain what tactics the players were going to perform, but he couldn't prevent the sudden situation.
After hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, Bryant excitedly jumped high with Fisher and slammed each other on the chest.
The Lakers' bench also fell into a frenzy, with Tony screaming and covering his face in a very exaggerated way, and Sean Lukes waving a towel and jumping and tap-dancing, drawing laughter from many fans.
Compared with the pleasant atmosphere on the Lakers' side, the Bullets on the other side looked much more depressed, and they took advantage of Toney's break to catch up with some scores, but they didn't expect to be pulled wider all of a sudden, which was also too shocking.
Harris didn't stop the crowd from celebrating, he made the players make a fuss. After a while, he raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
The first few minutes of the second quarter were crucial, the Bullets started a full quarter, and the big man was certainly more physically exerted than the guard, and Harris concluded that Linam would definitely take the starting lineup down to rest at the beginning of the second quarter.
Tony had begun to recover after a few minutes of rest, and Harris asked him to step up his offense at the start of the second quarter and take advantage of the opportunity to pull away from the Bullets.
Sure enough, at the start of the second quarter, Linam left only Strickland and Juwan Howard, replacing all three of his other starters.
Tony did exactly what Harris asked of him, and with just 18 seconds left in the second quarter, he forced the ball into the basket against Howard's defense, and then blocked a layup from Bullets small forward Harvey Grant.
For this covered basketball, the two sides fell into a scramble.
In the end, Juwan Howard grabbed the rebound, and he reached out to put the basketball into the basket, but how could Tony let him do it so easily.
Howard, who is two meters 06 meters tall, is ten centimeters shorter than Tony, and Tony just jumped lightly to take Howard's rebound again.
The basketball fell on Howard, Howard hurriedly grabbed the basketball again, this time he learned to be obedient, and did not jump up immediately, but bobbed under the basket twice, trying to point Tony up.
Tony jumped slightly when Howard made his first jump, and he accidentally ate it, but fortunately Howard didn't make a timely move.
Then Tony learned his lesson and didn't get shaken by Howard again.
Howard lost the opportunity to make a move, and he shook Tony a few times in a row but he wouldn't move, so he had no choice but to shoot again, but he chose a more secure way - a small hook.
When Tony saw Howard make a move, his eyes were quick, and he immediately jumped high, waved his big hand, and the basketball that had just left Howard's palm was slapped directly out of the court by Tony.
Volleyball cap!
The Forum Arena was suddenly boiling, and this extremely ornamental cap undoubtedly attracted their attention firmly. And Tony still took the risk three times in a row.
At this moment, Tony's image in the eyes of everyone gradually grew taller. Vaguely, Lakers fans have a feeling that as long as Tony is on the court, the Lakers' restricted area is unbreakable!
Juwan Howard also fell into a flute for a while, and he had some delusions that in front of this big man named Tony, it became a luxury for him to want to score.
Strickland gave Howard a gentle nudge to help him come to his senses, and Howard remembered that the ball was still in their place and that it was time for him to serve.
Perhaps because Toney's back-to-back blocks were so shocking, the Bullets players were a little resistant to breaking inside, and they had no doubt that Tony would unceremoniously humiliate the Lakers if they dared to enter the Lakers' restricted area.
The Bullets were under psychological pressure, and they shrank back a little from playing, and finally it was Chris Whitney who rushed to make a shot just when the offensive time was nearing the end of the game.
Naturally, such a shot was not in sight, and Tony easily pushed past Juwan Howard to pick up the rebound. He quickly sent the ball to Byron Scott, who was not satisfied, and without a moment of pause in his hand, he flew again towards Rumile Robinson, who was speeding away.
"Bang"
Robinson's speed shook everyone off, and he dunked first.
The Lakers took the opportunity to stretch the margin to 10 points.
In the next few minutes, Toney showed his dominance under the basket, defending him against Ben Wallace, an underdrafted rookie this year, who was only a few minutes per game and was a true fringe player.
Tony didn't feel pity for the opponent's weakness, he first singled Ben Wallace with his back and turned around and hit a small hook shot, and then he forced a layup against Wallace's body in the face frame, to his surprise, although the undrafted rookie of the same class was not very tall, he was very tough defensively, Tony spent a lot of effort and still failed to break through him, and the forced shot was also interfered with by Wallace and missed.
However, he then grabbed the offensive rebound with the advantage of his height, and then squeezed Wallace away with both hands to the frame.
Wallace was powerless to stop Tony and could only become the backdrop for Tony's dunk.
