Chapter 270 [To Our Dying Youth]
Many people regret that the Utah Twin Demons were suppressed by the Bulls, saying that they are tragic heroes.
In fact, as long as fans look at the sinister and hurtful highlights of Stockton and Malone's careers, they will feel that these two people are really doing it without a championship, the sky is watching, the cycle of heaven, karma!
Ma Long made a layup, Wang Jun jumped up to block, it was rare that this time the jump was relatively high, and the two of them had their knees together.
Yes! There was a scream on the pitch and the referee blew the whistle to stop the game.
Not many people care about Malone scoring a layup, they are worried about the player's injury.
Wang Jun covered his right knee and jumped back two steps to stand, grinning his painful porcelain teeth, and rubbing and rubbing them with his hands.
Ma Long sat on the ground with his left knee covered, waved to the outside of the field, and asked the team doctor to enter the field, and the scream just now was made by him.
Malone was a little confused at this moment.
Why is Nima's knees so hard?
It feels like it's on the wall.
The Lakers doctor came in to check on Malone, just asked two questions and shook his head: "You can't play this game." ”
Ma Long sat still, looking at Wang Jun standing upright not far away, he seemed to be fine, he felt cold in his heart, and the world became quieter.
He couldn't hear the voices of the audience, couldn't hear the voices of his teammates and team doctors, he just felt that he was finished, and he knew that today, it was better to retire with Stockton in the Jazz and make a good name.
When he came to Los Angeles, he watched a season of locker room farce, was framed for molesting his teammate's wife, and finally didn't get the ring...... Thinking about it a little, his career is full of regret.
Ma Long, supported by his teammate Cook, slowly left. As he walked into the passageway, he turned his head to take a deep look at the court.
He remembered running in the sunset that day. It was his lost youth.
The big screen in the stadium gave a replay of the footage, and it can be seen that Malone has an unnecessary knee raise. The fans booed, and the Lakers were extremely embarrassed.
yourself down with a trick, what kind of trouble is this? Is it a trick to the death?
Nets team doctor Tim? Walsh also entered the field to check on Wang Jun, rubbed Wang Jun's knee and asked, "Is there any tingling?" ”
"No, it's just that the place where I hit hurts a little, maybe tomorrow it will be bruised, I can continue to fight." Wang Jun replied.
"You don't have to hide the injury, the knee injury is very serious for the players, you can move your knee and try it." Tim said with concern.
Wang Jun moved his knees as he asked. Feeling fine, he bent his knees and jumped twice, and Tim was not light, if it was a ligament injury, he would probably have to go to the operating table these two times.
Tim was shocked.
There have been similar collisions in the NBA, and in 2001 Jamal? Crawford tore his anterior cruciate ligament and scrapped his meniscus after being hit by an inside player, and went straight to surgery.
The collision was so bad, Wang Jun didn't have anything at all?
Zhang Li saw that Wang Jun could jump, and the team doctor left, and breathed a long sigh of relief. "Wang Jun is fine. I can continue playing. ”
Yu Jia smiled: "After this collision, I don't think anyone will doubt his toughness anymore, even his knees are hard." ”
Zhang said with a smile: "If Ma Long can't play in the next game, the scale of victory will be tilted to the side of the Nets." ”
The Lakers put on Luke? Walton. Playing small ball tactics.
WHARTON IS 203CM TALL, WEIGHS 106 KG, AND HAS A WELL-ROUNDED TECHNIQUE. He plays as a small forward. It's okay to make a cameo as a power forward, but veteran Fox is in terrible form. Abandoned by Jackson.
The effect was immediate, and Wharton was moving fast. The anti-blocking and dismantling is better than dragging a horse with a broken leg.
Wang Jun faced this unknown rookie in the same period, and couldn't easily get a shooting opportunity, so he only misplaced Payton in the counterattack and made two fouls.
The Lakers played small-ball tactics, and Martin suddenly became a strong point of attack, pulling out to cover the catch and shoot, and scored three mid-range shots.
Martin played 35+11 in the fourth game against the Lakers in the 2002 Finals, and in the 2003 Finals, he averaged 20+10 per game in the first four games against Duncan, and then he couldn't play due to illness. He doesn't just rely on dunks, but also has a certain degree of confidence in mid-range shots.
The Lakers can only rely on OK combinations on the offensive end, and Malone is off the court, and the blocking and dismantling tactics can't be played. O'Neal doesn't give Kobe Bryant a pick-and-roll, and Wharton doesn't fit a pick-and-roll.
Kobe Bryant would rather play against the defense than pass O'Neal to play to his advantage in the low post, and O'Neal only passes to the bottom corner or re-organizes the point guard. The two core relationships are like class enemies.
O'Neal is okay because the Nets really can't do anything about him.
Kobe Bryant was trapped in the 122 joint defense, and Kittels on the periphery followed the interference, and once he entered the three-point line, the Nets team formed a contraction, and all positions could form a trap for Kobe.
When Wharton and Payton's three-point ability is average, the triangle offense can't help Kobe Bryant create comfortable single opportunities, but he wants to compete with the Sharks for MVP with beautiful statistics, and frequently shoots when the opponent defends his face, and the shooting rate is very low.
At the end of the third quarter, the Nets led 72-62.
It seems that there is a fight, but in fact, the Lakers are at an absolute disadvantage.
In order to ensure the offense, the Lakers did not dare to replace the OK combination at all, and O'Neal and Kobe Bryant continued to play in the final quarter.
The Nets are more flexible in employing people, and the four interior lines take turns to fight with O'Neal in hand-to-hand combat, full of physical strength and not afraid of foul trouble, and send him free throws if he can't stand it.
The three outside swingmen rotated, and Rousios could also play two positions, and Korver and Armstrong were still on the bench.
Wang Jun returned to the court after a four-minute break in the last quarter, and the Nets played small-ball tactics, Kidd, Kittels, Wang Jun, Rodney, and Martin.
The Nets are increasingly leaning towards shooting three-pointers rather than quick counter-attacks. Looking at the long-range shooting performance, Rodney is also better than Jefferson.
Jefferson is likely to sit on the bench and watch his teammates play to the end, just like he did when he played the Pistons, and he couldn't help it.
Lawrence said tactics loudly: "Everyone pulls away, O'Neal is almost out of strength, Kenyon covers the king, if O'Neal doesn't go out, the king will shoot when he catches the ball, and pass the ball on the side." If O'Neill defends it, Kenyon cuts into the air. ”
On the Lakers' side, Jackson asked the players to wait for an opportunity on the perimeter and OK to combine the main offense.
Kobe Bryant's winning ** is very strong, and he hasn't rested today, but his play is not satisfactory.
Before going on the court, Jackson shouted to Kobe: "Kobe, we're about to lose, while there is still a chance to catch up, I need you to see who is in the vacant position?" Do you understand? Who's in the vacant seats? ”
Kobe Bryant was silent, not agreeing with Jackson's words, and he thought that this was the time for him to step up and take over the game.
Jackson motivated Jordan in this way, and then Jordan passed the ball to the open players and scored easily.
Kobe's idea of "who's in the open spot" is another concept: George can't shoot in the open spot, Wharton can't shoot in the open spot, and Payton can't shoot in the open spot...... So, he had to make a move.
The outside world agrees that the Lakers are very strong, and the starting benches are at the forefront of the league, but there are few people who Kobe can afford, only Fisher is more pleasing to the eye, and he doesn't like others.
The key is that you pass it to your teammates, and your teammates will pass it to O'Neal.
Let him watch O'Neal win MVP again? He's had enough.
Obviously, it is the credit of two people to win the championship, why is it O'Neal who wins the MVP every time?
Because O'Neill is the most dominant center!
Because O'Neal is not passed, the Lakers can't beat the Nets at all!
Bryant only thought about himself and ignored important facts. (To be continued.) )
