236. Great victory
Padin just leaned back when he slipped and saw Kobe Bryant rushing towards him, he had a satisfied smile on his face, his head with short blond hair slammed into the ball, and the basketball that bounced off the ground was knocked out at once, grazing Kobe's body and rushing out of the three-point line.
When Hamilton got the ball, he couldn't even believe that he was empty!
The beast, which had not shown its fangs in the entire finals, woke up at this time, Hamilton looked at the hoop indifferently, exhaled the turbid air in his lungs, and jumped his legs together easily, shaking his wrist with grace and calmness like in training camp to send the ball away.
Everyone changed color, how many fans rubbed their eyes in front of the TV, and Padtin's magical pass was unbelievable! This terrifying trap, this terrifying creativity, this terrifying guts, this kid gave all the fans a shock!
"In such a position, if no one interferes with this kind of ball, let me shoot freely, then give me a hundred and I can throw a hundred!" Hamilton raised his hand, his lips pressed together, the expression on his face was both disdainful and proud.
"The Briton delivered a lethal pass, and the Masked Man hit a lethal three-pointer!" Smith muttered.
Barkley hugged his chest and kept repeating a sentence: "Big heart, these bastards raised by son of a bitch are all big hearts!" I'm never going to host the finals again, I'm going to have a heart attack! ”
The Staples Arena was silent again, a dead silence!
134:129! It's still a five-point gap, a fatal five-point gap!
There was no timeout in the Zen master's hand, the shark gritted his teeth and prepared to serve, but the Pistons were actively scrambling, Kobe, Payton, Fisher, the three outside lines did not run out of the gap, and finally Malone came up to answer, only then did he get the ball, and when he passed to Payton, and then Payton dribbled through the halfcourt, there were 15 seconds left.
"Shoot fast!" O'Neal yelled, he didn't even run to the three-point line!
Payton was entangled by Hamilton and there was no space to shoot at all, Kobe came up to ask for the ball, and the gloves quickly passed to him.
Before the game, Huaben had studied the characteristics of Lakers players, and there was one characteristic that he remembered very well, that is, Payton was good at high-tossing passes, and this was because he was in the early years with a generation of dunk generals, Shaun. Kemp has been teammates for a long time, the Rainmen like to catch in the air, and Payton has developed a habit of throwing high-throw passes. This habit is as famous as Stockton's land-to-ground passes, as they represent the limits of a kind of passing.
When Kobe Bryant went up to ask for the ball, Huaben jumped up without hesitation, and under the staring eyes of 20,000 fans, the ball just fell into Huaben's arms
Patin quickly rushed to the front court, Wabeon flung the ball over, and instead of attacking the hoop, he ran as fast as he could, running around all corners of the front court like the wind.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 squeak!!
"In the third round of the Finals yesterday, the Pistons won a great 134-129 victory, and the Lakers missed a good chance to repechage on their home court, and after this game, they fell to 3-0 in the Finals, which means that they will face the sad fate of being swept away!
In this crucial matchup, the Pistons star Ben. Wallace scored 36 points and 21 rebounds, setting a rebounding record for the Pistons in the Finals and a personal Finals scoring record. Their rookie Mirisic was also eye-catching with 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists, while Rashid scored the same 21 points as Hamilton, who also hit a terrific key shot, and it was the quasi-stunner that pushed the Lakers into the abyss of hell!
For the Lakers, Bryant scored a game-high 38 points, but had 6 turnovers! At 42 percent shooting, that's a good statistic, but if you compare the 45 percent offense success rate that averaged the game, you can see that he's a bit of a mess. O'Neal had 26 points and 14 rebounds, and fell behind in the battle with Ben, a Finals game that rewrote the name of the NBA's No. 1 center, and the Sharks are no longer omnipotent.
Here's ESPN Morning Sports News, thank you for your attention, and watch the Pistons vs. Lakers scoring highlights later, and we'll see you tomorrow at the same time. ”
The results of the match were broadcast almost exclusively on the major television stations in their own news time, and while most of the fans around the world tuned in to watch the game live, that didn't stop them from revisiting the great game.
Yesterday's match attracted TV stations from 165 countries around the world, with 48 languages to narrate the game, and according to the British BBC, more than 150 million viewers watched, including nearly 60 million in Asia alone, and this was in 2004!
Stern almost laughed and paralyzed, and before the Finals, he had worried that the Pistons would compete for a championship with ugly defense, which would naturally hinder the NBA's global efforts. Who knows, from the first game, the Pistons seem to have become a Mavericks, a strong offensive offense and then offense, of course, they also played a beautiful defense, no need for the whole team to defend, the outside Prince stared at Kobe, the inside Warburn resisted O'Neal, this is the most effective defense.
Thanks to the high progress from the playoffs, Huaben quickly became a big name in the sports circle, and at first there were people who were unhappy that he shared Garnett's MVP, and now these people are starting to feel unworthy of him, and with his performance, he can be called the NBA's Most Valuable Player.
Pistons, Lakers, Ben. Wallace, Kobe, O'Neal, these words repeatedly appeared on the front pages of major newspapers and media, and on the other side of the ocean in China, even the "People's Daily" simply reported the finals, with the headline: "The Pistons act as corpse bearers, and the Lakers are put in coffins".
Coincidentally, the Philadelphia Cavalry Newspaper, which is known as Taishan Beidou in the American sports media, reported on the game with similar content, which really rubbed salt into the wounds of Los Angeles fans: "After falling behind the Pistons by a total score of 0:3, the Lakers' road to the Finals is about to come to an abrupt end." Throughout the history of the NBA, including the playoffs, there have been 86 times when they have fallen behind by a 0-3 aggregate scoreline, but no team has been able to come back from a desperate situation to win.
In other words, the Lakers, who have at least four future Basketball Hall of Fame superstars, have now been nailed into coffins, and the remaining game is to carry them to the graveyard for burial. The Lakers' chances of surviving the death are now only theoretical, and in the more than half century history of the NBA, no one has ever been able to prove it in action, and that is to win all three of their remaining games!
Lakers win four games in a row? This possibility is minimal. The current Lakers are like a big ship that has lost power and helmsman, drifting with the tide in the rapids and rapids laid by the Pistons, and the most optimistic situation now is that the Pistons do not want to be crowned champions in Los Angeles, so they take the initiative to lose two games in a row and return to Detroit to solve the opponent. Of course, some fans expect the Lakers to be ashamed and brave enough to unite to win against Detroit, but this is impossible, because in the last game, they are actually very united! ”
Unlike the much-acclaimed Huaben, Bryant is now surrounded by criticism because he took up too many shots, even though he scored the highest points of the game.
Los Angeles Sports Newspaper columnist Nairo claimed that Bryant had a chance to save the Lakers, especially when O'Neal suffered a foul crisis. But he shot too many times unreasonably, like a computer with a wrong program, frantically destroying its own rhythm and program.
Kobe Bryant scoffed at the criticism from the outside world, and he responded to them with silence, as arrogant as a rock on the top of a mountain.
The explanation is useless, the Lakers, who claim to be the aristocracy of the sports world, can't accept the fate of being swept, someone has to stand up and take the blame for this, and Kobe Bryant, who has a bad reputation due to the 'Eagle County incident', is obviously a good candidate.
Beginning on June 14, Detroit's uniform crew led the crew into Staples Arena to prepare for the upcoming championship awards ceremony, which is a very difficult thing for Lakers fans to accept.
What could be more painful for a fan than an opponent winning a championship? Actually, there is, and that is the opponent who wants to celebrate the victory on his own turf.
Also brought is Detroit's die-hard fan base, who enjoy free tickets, but only 1,000 places, and according to the rules, the ticket money will be shared between the NBA league and the Pistons.
On the afternoon of June 14, the all-in-one Stern**OSS arrived in Los Angeles with the O'Brien Cup and the Russell Cup.
The last game was played at 6 p.m. Western time on June 15, and the Pistons players had a bit of physical exertion to win the third game, and the coach rarely gave them a holiday. The reason for this openness is not only because he is about to get his first NBA championship ring in his coaching career, but also because of the unique consideration: Pistons players are now unable to move an inch in Los Angeles, and even if they are given vacation, these people will have to huddle in training camps or hotels.
The two favorite activities of NBA players are to pick up girls and gamble, and since they can't go out, Rashid takes people to gamble.
I'm not interested in what stud, Texas Hold'em and the like, mainly because he doesn't know much, Kobe Bryant called him on the morning of the 15th and invited him to his home as a guest.
It's not the first time that Hua Ben has gone to Kobe's house, the last time Peter Pan helped him and Albara pimp, and took his two bodyguards Du Dongqiang and Easter, he drove there in a hurry.
Seeing Huaben, Kobe Bryant took him directly into a private arena located in the mansion, looking lonely.
"Don't you have training?" Hua Ben took the lead in greeting and asking.
