Chapter 114: Three Free Throws
The score on the scorer was 95-91 when Jones jumped off the basket. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He yelled excitedly as he returned to his defense, and the cheers that erupted in the entire arena almost topped the roof.
With about two minutes left, Childs was much more cautious this time, his mistake just now was too fatal, and a mistake at this time could directly lead to the team's final loss, so Childles dribbled very carefully through the half court this time.
However, the Lakers are very simple to defend, and they have no one to harass Childes, and now they have a four-point advantage, and the pressure is entirely on the Knicks' side, and the Lakers have no need to gamble on defense at all.
However, after the positional battle, the Lakers' defense is still very tight, and even if they have an advantage, it does not mean that they can let the Knicks score.
Childes tried to get past Fisher under Oakley's pick-and-roll cover, but the Lakers' change of defense was very timely, Hawley blocked Childes' breakthrough route in time, and then Fisher also managed to get rid of Oakley's defense.
Seeing Fisher coming, Hawley did not hesitate, he directly gave up Childes and turned to defend Oakley.
The Lakers' defense in this round was simply not picky, and Childes couldn't get into the inside, so he had no choice but to hoist the ball to Ewing on the edge of the box.
Ewing is no better than the young and strong Tony, who is already 35 years old and has played almost the whole game today, and he is very tired now, but at such moments, he can only grit his teeth when he receives passes from his teammates.
Even Tony's feet were starting to weaken a little even now, but when Ewing sank down and was ready to start eating him with his back on his back, he steadied himself and met him.
In the fourth quarter, the physical exertion of these two people can be said to be the largest among all, and the normal game of the two is basically in a state of hand-to-hand combat, constantly exerting physical strength, which also gives Ewing a reasonable explanation for the weakness of the last quarter.
But this time, Ewing seemed to be menacing, but he didn't choose to have a hard time with Tony, he tried to push Tony twice, turned around and throw.
Seeing this, Tony quickly pounced on it and tried to interfere.
Unexpectedly, Ewing actually took back the basketball that was about to be taken off, he didn't plan to fight with Tony from the beginning, Ewing was clearly aiming for a foul.
By the time Tony reacted, it was too late, he couldn't regain his body, and his whole body was already on Ewing's body.
Ewing smiled indistinctly, leaned in, and threw the ball into the sky at random.
"Drop!"
The referee's whistle blows.
Watching Ewing smile smugly, like a funny orangutan, he walked to the free throw line domineeringly, which made Tony a little helpless.
But soon Ewing couldn't laugh, the first free throw, the basketball stumbled on the basket several times before finally falling into the basket, if this has made everyone in the Knicks sweat, then, Ewing's second free throw, he actually directly made a three-point free throw.
There was a lot of laughter in the forum arena, even the Knicks coach Van Gundy, his face turned slightly red, his cheeks bulged, it seemed that he was working hard, and he didn't know if he wanted to cry or laugh, while Ewing pretended that nothing had happened and slowly returned to the defense.
Tony got this three-stick basketball, and he was frozen in place for a while, he really hasn't encountered this situation, so he doesn't know whether to serve or attack directly, just when he was stunned, the Knicks players also ran back to their half court in time to start defending, Jones waved his hand at Toney, signaling that he could attack directly, Tony reacted at this time, and he handed the ball to Fisher.
Ewing's three-point non-stick did make the atmosphere of the original needle-point pair of Mai Mang suddenly relaxed, and the Lakers would not show mercy because of Ewing's funny behavior, and Kobe Bryant started his personal singles performance directly after getting the ball.
He also found time in the summer to learn Jordan's back-to-body singles moves, and he now shows off what he's learned, as he directs his teammates to open up space, sits on his back and sits on Alan Houston's top one by one, while he constantly makes some slight shoulder shake feints to confuse Houston.
At this last moment, even Alan Houston, who has always been known for defending black holes, gathered 10,000 points of spirit to defend Kobe, he carefully watched Kobe's movements, and did not fall for Kobe's feints.
But Kobe Bryant didn't care about this, and he gradually relied on his own strength to reach a comfortable position.
Bryant took a deep breath and took a step straight past Alan Houston before turning around and stepping back for a jumper.
Alan Houston was pushed one step forward before, and it was too late to pounce on it to interfere, and Kobe Bryant used a trained strength to directly eat Alan Houston.
Alan Houston was also very surprised in his heart, last season, this guy was clearly just a street ball player with poor play, but he didn't expect that in just one summer, his strength had risen to such a terrifying level.
People are really angry compared to people, Alan Houston knows very well that Kobe Bryant's talent is really good, and his future is limitless.
Seeing the court again, Kobe Bryant's turnaround and backward jumper was very chic, the action was picturesque, and the basketball also crossed a wonderful arc into the basket.
With a minute or so left on the clock, the Lakers have stretched the margin to five points.
Van Gundy reluctantly called out the last timeout, and now the Knicks were on the edge of the cliff.
He can see that Ewing's physical strength has reached a limit now, but he still doesn't dare to put Ewing off the court to rest, and even if he is willing, Ewing may not be willing, Van Gundy as the Knicks coach actually has less say in the team than Ewing.
Although Van Gundy did not let Ewing carry out the last few offensive and defensive plans, he also did not intend to waste Ewing's natural mobile wall, he asked Ewing to cover Johnson, and Van Gundy seemed to intend to hand over this difficult task to Johnson.
This is understandable, after all, Johnson was also a fierce man who could average 20+ per game at his peak, and now he is experienced, although it will be better to hand the ball to Cells who has a good feel in this game, but Van Gundy still chooses to believe in the veteran.
