Chapter 96: A Minute on the Basketball Court
Why is Kwame super mimeric?
It's just because Kwame before the sixth Finals didn't have a double-double assist record again, and in this crucial sixth Finals, Kwame could replace Leitner as the playmaker inside, so that the Wizards' offense didn't change anything after Leitner's injury.
This is a very amazing change, and it has also made many people begin to see the infinite potential of Kwamei, and many people have already thought that Kwame has improved enough this year, and Kwame has once again proved himself with such a battle for fame...... In a game, Kwame can also make a lot of progress and transformation.
Maybe such a game is like the day that a superstar always has, and it is also the one that a superstar always has, but when this game comes in the sixth game of the finals, it is even more precious compared to other games.
Anyway, Stern looked at such a Kwame and nodded his head in approval from time to time, especially after Stern heard that after Jordan retired from injury, the ratings of this game were basically stable compared to the previous game, and he showed an extremely satisfied smile on his face.
However, no matter how good Kwame performed in the second half, it could not stop the fact that the Lakers finally caught up with the score and overtook the Wizards by 2 points 115-113, of course, with one minute left, it was the Wizards who attacked first.
Seeing that there was no sweat left on Kwame's face, Collins asked very nervously, "Kwame, can you hold on?" ”
"Coach! Rest assured! It's only a minute! Kwame replied.
"Only a minute? That is, can you only hold on for this minute? I just don't know how long O'Neal, who is tightly guarded against you, can hold on, and can you continue to be efficient in this minute with such a good performance on the offensive and defensive ends? The sudden thought in his head slightly disrupted Collins' mood at this time, and it took 30 seconds for the players to rest and relax in their chairs before Collins spoke.
"We need to keep our hits on the offensive this time, don't rush and don't need to waste time deliberately...... I know that your spirit is highly concentrated now, and you don't have any more energy to listen to me explain the tactics, Gong Feng, you go on the court to catch the ball and see how the Lakers defend...... At this time, it is extremely difficult to get into the basket, now is the time to test your big heart, I want you to play resolutely, don't think too much, there are vacant seats, there is a good opportunity to shoot, just give me a quick shot! ”
Gong Feng and the others glanced at each other and nodded to Collins, but Gong Feng still took a breath and replied, "Yes!" ”
……
"Collins isn't going to have any tactical ...... right now Put all the possibilities you have in your mind now, let me go, defend according to your instincts, your body is stronger than the players of the Wizards, your experience is something they have never experienced, your strength is the best in the history of the Lakers, and now you are only experiencing a little difficulty! ”
After seeing that there was finally a glimmer of light in everyone's eyes, Jackson continued very loudly: "I want you to give the Wizards more psychological pressure, more pressure, less space, don't lose your defensive position when defending, but also quickly pack when it's time to pack...... Let your instincts decide the outcome of this game! ”
The two coaches are now sweating profusely, and they slowly instructed all the players in a hoarse voice, without a trace of compulsion in their voices, more like teammates on the sidelines, cheering for their teammates now.
The coaches of both teams have been shouting on the sidelines for a long time, and every time a defense is successful or a goal is successful, the players will see the coach cheering for themselves, and every time the defense is lost and the offense is unfavorable, the coach will see the coach applaud everyone and encourage them to do it again.
When the players are at their best, they don't need to say anything about the coach, all the coach has to do off the pitch is to point out the direction so that the players don't get 'lost'.
At the end of the timeout, the players on the Wizards' side were Gong Feng, Kwame, Hamilton, Simmons, and Gerrard.
The Lakers are still the main starting five Tigers and have not changed anyone.
Gong Feng, who received the serve in the backcourt, under the pressure and defense of Fisher, continued to move slowly around Kwamei, who was not far from him, and Kwamei opened his arms at this time, moving forward slowly, showing a rare general's demeanor.
After coming to the front court, he quickly handed the ball to Gerrard, but he quickly ran to the bottom, all the players of the Lakers team were a little surprised, but they did not perform out of position, and even Kobe Bryant wanted to quickly wrap Gerrard, but at this time, Kwame quickly lifted up and made a block with Gerrard.
Seeing a trace of space after Gerrard, he quickly broke through to the three-second zone, O'Neal seemed to be a little slower, and did not catch up with Gerrard's first step, but Horry quickly returned to the defense at this time to block Gerrard, and Gerrard saw Horry who assisted in the defense, and quickly passed the ball to Simmons on the right baseline.
At this time, the Lakers showed amazing coordination and defense, and immediately began to rotate positions, while the Wizards' outside four quickly began to pass the ball, and the last shot was Kwame directly to Gong Feng, which won less than a second of space for Gong Feng's shooting.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gong Feng quickly threw the basketball in his hand, and the posture that was not deformed due to fatigue still ensured the shooting rate of this three-point shot.
This is already the fifth three-pointer that Gong Feng has made in this game.
When Jackson saw the three-pointer score, he immediately called a timeout.
And all the Wizards supporters are already cheering at this time.
There wasn't much time left for the Lakers, and this time the offense, the Wizards took 20 seconds.
After the timeout, the Lakers also sent a backcourt ball, which was carried forward by Kobe Bryant, Hamilton lowered his body at the beginning and followed Kobe, and Kobe didn't seem to look at Hamilton, but kept scanning the position of his teammates.
Hamilton was unmoved, just followed Kobe Bryant, and did not make a gambling steal, and Kobe did not hear a sigh from Kobe's mouth until he dribbled to the three-point line.
Facing the Lakers, the other three are all scattered in two places, and the direction opposite to themselves gives them more space...... Kobe Bryant also saw O'Neal's feet under the basket at this time, and seemed to be a little trembling...... Kobe, who hesitated slightly, did not follow Jackson's arrangement, but lowered his body and began to rush to the basket in an instant.
Hamilton clings to Kobe Bryant, but Kobe, who is now at the peak of his physical ability, is not something that Hamilton can defend, in the face of Kwame's help defense, Kobe just used a lever to let the ball break through Kwame's barrier, and O'Neal has already jumped up at this time, took the basketball that has gone down, and slammed it into the basket.
O'Neal, who had completed the slam dunk action, began to roar loudly.
Fans at the Staples Center immediately boiled over when they heard this.
When Collins heard O'Neill's roar, he hesitated slightly, and instead of calling a timeout, he made a quick gesture to the bow peak.
Sure enough, everyone on the Wizards team did not disappoint Collins, but unfortunately the quick reception of basketball was intercepted by Kobe Bryant at half time, and seeing all the players of the Lakers desperately returning to defense, the Wizards' fast break could not be played.
O'Neal's roar is to cheer himself up and motivate his teammates, this is the roar of a monster before desperate.
But to some people, this kind of roar seems more like a show of weakness, a show of weakness from a prehistoric monster.
Such a roar may sound like this to some people as only one thing, O'Neill has reached the limit, and this last time is the final time to decide the winner.
So Collins didn't call a timeout to set things up, so Bow Peak quickly dribbled forward.
Gong Feng stopped one step away from the three-point line with the ball, and couldn't help but look at the timer, looking at the 19 seconds left of the 24-second offensive time, and looking at the 24 seconds left until the end of the game.
