Chapter Sixty-Eight: Jonny's Three Points (Ask for Collection)
(The collection is over a thousand, ask for a collection, and there are recommended votes)
At the beginning of the third quarter, the main forces of both sides began to rest and come on the bench, and Jonny, who had been fighting for two quarters and had done it alone in almost every offense, needed to rest even more, he sat on the sidelines, drank sports drinks, replenished water, and watched his teammates fight against the Lakers' bench on the court.
Before this game, he used up the special effect of net eclipse, and there was not much physical strength left, and the special effect of net eclipse naturally played a role, Eddie Jones at the beginning of the second quarter because he felt a rapid decline in physical fitness in his body and went off the court to rest, but because Jonny would miss a shot from time to time in this game, so although the special effect of net eclipse played a role in this game, the Lakers did not defend Jonny to the point of losing his strength.
The rotation on the Lakers' side is more diligent, halfway through the third quarter, O'Neal and other main players will return to the court, and the Magic side also sent Anfernee Hardaway and Darryll Armstrong and Denis Scott who had more breaks in the first half, but the players sent by the Magic side did not play a role, and the Lakers once again opened up the difference by virtue of O'Neal's great power in the middle of the third quarter.
Ricky Adhubatu looked at Jonny Lee more than once, the magic of this game has actually been relying on Jonny's personal play to continue his life, but now Jonny is too tired, he needs time to slowly recover his strength, and every time Ricky Adubatu looks at him, he can only shake his head, indicating that his physical strength is not enough to play. However, although Richie Adubatu is in a hurry, he also knows that this is not in a hurry, after all, the real decisive battle will be in the fourth quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers reopened the gap with O'Neal's play in the middle of the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, while O'Neal and others were out of the game, Jonny reappeared.
Defending Jonny in the fourth quarter was Lakers' backup guard Byron Scott, who was a core member of the Showtime era, the Lakers' main backcourt shooter, and of course the Lakers' head coach later. In his peak season, he averaged 20 points per game, and Byron Scott, who was still with the Grizzlies last season, returned to the Lakers this season, and according to him, he will retire after the end of the season. started his career with the Lakers, excelled with the Lakers, and finally returned to the Lakers to retire, and Byron Scott can be regarded as a fallen leaf.
However, letting Byron Scott defend Jonny is a bit of a matter of ignoring Jonny's offense, after all, Byron Scott's height is only 1.91 meters, and he is not young, and defending Jonny will be very difficult for him.
However, the ball at the beginning of the fourth quarter belonged to the Lakers, and it was Derrick Fisher who controlled the ball on the court, and Fisher, who was still a small fish, controlled the ball after half the court, and handed the ball to Baron Scott, who dribbled and took a few steps outside the three-point line, made a few cooperation with his teammates, and finally passed the ball to Derrick Fisher, who appeared vacant in the bottom corner, Fisher took the ball and shot, and in the three-point shot, the Lakers widened the difference to 15 points.
With a 15-point difference, Jonny was also anxious, and after getting the ball, he rushed to the front court, raised his hand and made a three-point shot, and threw the ball out when Byron Scott couldn't react.
"Jonny's three points, in! It was his fourth three-pointer of the game, and he hit all four three-pointers. And in this game, both sides had a high three-point shooting percentage, with Eddie Jones, Van Exel and Derrick Fisher hitting a total of 11 three-pointers on the Lakers' side. On the Magic side, Jonny and Dennis Scott hit a total of seven three-pointers. ”
And in the end, the Lakers didn't make a desperate shot like Jonny, they slowly looked for opportunities on the outside, and after Van Exel's departure, the Lakers' offense seemed to have become a different team, always reversing the ball back and forth in the half, looking for opportunities. And this time, they scored two points through a series of reversible shots, and Elden Campbell made a layup, and the difference became 14 points again.
Jonny took the ball again and dribbled all the way to the frontcourt, at this time Byron Scott had already switched to Darryl Armstrong, and now it was Xiaoyu Fisher who defended Jonny, because he was afraid that Jonny would shoot three points, he kept staring at Jonny, and his whole body leaned forward slightly.
However, this time Jonny didn't shoot three points, he directly launched the Q skill and W skill, the two skills were used at the same time, and suddenly rushed to the right front, so that Derek Fisher, who was originally focused on defending Jonny's three points, instantly had a feeling of being out of position, and was about to retreat in a hurry, and at this moment, Jonny pulled the ball back violently, directly pulled his center of gravity back, and then jumped up and shot three points.
Xiao Yu is not the old fish who has a lot of defensive experience and ability later, he saw that Jonny suddenly pulled the ball back, and the whole person was already jumping, and Fisher, who was in a panic, also jumped up, wanting to interfere with the ball.
"Jonny's three, Fisher jumps at the same time, interferes!"
Jonny throws the ball against Fisher, who was distracting him in a panic, and Fisher's hand hits Jonny's hand in this situation.
"The batter, this ball is fouled, the referee's whistle blows, it should be three free throws."
At this time, the basketball was already shot, flying higher and higher, and then with a bang, the Toyota Center Arena let out an exclamation.
“3+1! The ball went in, it was actually 3+1, a beautiful three-pointer! Mike Brin shouted, and the Toyota Center erupted in earth-shattering boos after a loud exclamation. Because at this time, Jonny was frantically hammering his chest, looking very excited.
Jonny hit a free throw and hit a four-pointer, narrowing the gap to 10 points, and after this shot, Jonny's total score became 41 points! He's already over the 40-point mark! His scoring explosion is truly terrifying. Hubby Brown also exclaimed incessantly.
And then, the Lakers' offense, this time the Magic successfully defended the Lakers' offense, David Vaughn won the rebound, the Magic directly started the fast break, Jonny took the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, and Derrick Fisher quickly returned to the defense, slowing down outside the three-point line, he wanted to force Jonny to stop, in exchange for time in the team's defense.
And when Jonny saw Fisher open his arms and wait for him outside the three-point line, he directly turned on the E skill, a dodge, and actually shook off Derek Fisher directly, and then took a step forward, and the three points shot directly, this three-point, not only has the passive effect of the Exiled Blade Ruiwen, but also has the effect of the nonsensical three-point of the Infinite Sword Master's E skill.
With a bang, the ball went into the net again!
"It's in again! Three three-pointers in a row, Jonny went crazy! The difference has narrowed to 7 points! Maybe now Jonny only needs three more rounds of offense to help the Magic equalize or overtake the score! ”
And seeing Jonny hit three three-pointers in a row, Lakers head coach Del Harris finally couldn't sit still, and he immediately called a timeout.
