Not long after, the fourth Finals game between the Lakers and the 76ers began. Of course, this time it was played on the home court of the 76ers.

This time the game is obviously different from the previous two games, the Lakers first changed the lineup, the young Fisher and Tyronn Lue did not play, and the old Spicy Ron Haber played. Nothing else has changed, with Bryant and Rick Fox partnering on the perimeter, and O'Neal and Hores-Grant on the inside. This lineup is flawless for most teams, but it is still a bit difficult against the 76ers.

The 76ers are still Rashid and Big Ben partnering to defend O'Neal, let go of Hores Grant, and the outside line is each defending itself.

The plan was very good, even if Hores Grant got the ball, as long as he didn't go too far, then Rashid would be able to keep up. Even if you run a long distance, others will be able to follow and defend.

During the break, Phil Jackson was obviously an O'Neal communication, and in this game, O'Neal's single time became less, and more often he used his strong deterrent power against the 76ers to cover for other players, pass the ball, and organize offense. Hores Grant, in particular, has been given a lot of opportunities from O'Neal. But the distance is not too far from Rashid, and it is often easy to interfere. But that wasn't much of a deal for Hores-Grant, who used his skilful interior offense and experience to foul Rashid with his skilful interior offense and experience, often to force Larry to make a substitution, once he made a substitution. O'Neal's offensive prowess is back, making waves on the 76ers' interior. In the end, when there was really no way, Larry still sent Rashid on the court, but at this time, Larry's order to Rashid was to give up Hores Grant at all times and guard against O'Neal. Rashid also executed Larry's tactics in earnest. Dropped Horace-Grant. Although Hores Grant once again had a lot of opportunities, due to his own physical strength, reasons and his own strength, he didn't shoot much, and his three-point ability was not strong, and the 76ers got precious respite.

That didn't last long, though. Phil Jackson quickly spotted Horace-Grant's shortcomings. Although he is not bad in other areas. But. He's still not old enough to play high-intensity games for long periods of time, and without three-point ability, he still has a huge flaw in this system. I didn't have those problems when I was with the Bulls.

When he was with the Bulls, Hores Grant played as the team's No. 3 scorer, the Bulls' first three-game winning streak. Most of the team's possession was in the hands of Joe Gang Leader and Pippen "Batman". Although both of them like to rush inside to score. But at the end of the day. Both are still outside players, and each has the ability to make threes from the outside, especially Pippen. What he is best at is defense, three points and passing, these three are his housekeeping skills, often the Joe gang leader burst into the inside, and then encountered the bag or other teams' high-strength defense, he stood aside and waited, if the Joe gang leader thinks that he has a very good chance of scoring this goal, then Pippen will not say anything, will only silently return to the defense, if the Joe gang leader does not think that he can score by his own strength, then, the Joe gang master will pass the ball out, who is it good to pass to? Joe's first thought of his good friend and good partner Steco Pippen, who he relied on to defeat most of his opponents. So at this time, Joe will find a suitable angle and pass the ball out.

And the role of Pippen is evident at this time. As the Bulls' No. 2 scorer, Pippen's ability is unquestionable, and his three-pointers can definitely save the team's fortunes when Joe helps the team face the bag. And his breakthrough is also quite good, which also creates a lot of opportunities for other players. And Horace Grant is one of them. As an interior player, he doesn't need his outside score at all in the Bulls, which explains his three-point can't do it, but he still becomes the third corner of the Bulls.

However, with the Lakers, although it was okay at other times, the disadvantages are now prominent.

Without three-point ability, two-point shooting alone can't take advantage of the 76ers. However, in order to hide his true intentions, Phil Jackson still kept Hores Grant on the court, constantly taking advantage of O'Neal's advantage to score for him.

Until the 7th minute of the fourth quarter.

At this time, the scores of the two sides were still anxious, and at this time, taking advantage of a foul dead ball, Phil Jackson's eyes lit up and said, "Go warm up, Robert!" Execute our tactics! ”

"No problem, Coach!" So Robert Horry, who was sitting next to Phil Jackson, heard the noise, stood up, came to the referee's bench, took off his coat and training clothes, and waited. In a few moments, the whistle sounded, Hores-Robert down, Robert Horry on.

It was a Lakers foul, Ron Harbble fouled Allen defensively, Allen made two free throws, and with Allen's two free throws, the 76ers now have a slight lead.

"Beep-" The referee motioned for Robert Horry to come on.

"It's coming!" O'Neill said hello.

"Hmm!" Robert Horry replied.

"So are we going to start executing Phil's tactics? Did Phil say that? O'Neill asked.

"Phil has agreed, let's execute the tactics!" Robert Horry said.

"Okay, no problem!" O'Neill said with a smile.

Lakers offense. It was still Ron Haber who controlled the ball and came to the front. O'Neill went inside.

But as soon as he got in, O'Neill started asking for the ball. Seeing this, Ron Haber directly passed the ball in the way of a high lob,

And Big Ben also went up at the same time. O'Neal started his normal singles offense. He leaned on Big Ben and kept moving inside.

At this time, according to the plan laid out by Larry, Rashid came, and he helped Big Ben to defend O'Neill and prevent his attack. But O'Neill didn't say anything this time, just smiled slightly, and threw the ball out.

And the ball flew unbiased into the hands of Robert Horry, who was waiting outside the three-point line. At this time, Robert Horry was completely a statue, calm and relaxed, and the outside world did not interfere with him at all. Completely ignoring Luke, who was making up for the defense, he shot directly and hit a three-point shot.

"Damn it!" Luke regretted his defense, and if he had been quicker this time, he would have been able to catch up.

Rashid couldn't do anything about the mistake, and he glanced back at Larry. It was found that Larry had no intention of changing his tactics at all, and he still played the same way.

So Rashid didn't say anything and ran to the front. But this laid the foundation for the later 76ers.

Robert Horry is a player with a big heart, and although he shoots less than 40% from three-point range, he still can't show his role in crunch time. He's never missed a playoff game in his career and always helps the team in crunch time, and that's exactly what the Lakers are right now. When Kobe and O'Neal were limited and Rick Fox couldn't play, he came out.

Of course, Luke knew he was powerful, but neither Rashid nor Larry seemed to be alert.

They made mistakes! But that's in the Hereafter.

In the 2005 Finals, when the Spurs faced the Pistons, when the two sides tied 2-2, in the crucial fifth game, the 35-year-old Hawley scored a total of 18 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, especially when he was down by four points in the final moments, first burst inside and forced a dunk in front of the defender, and then beat the Pistons with 3 seconds before the end of the game. As for why this is the case, it is because of Larry's set-up mistakes, first he asked for Tim Duncan to be clamped first, and then Manuginobili, who played that year. But only Robert Horry was released!

Horry was unmarked and killed the Pistons in seconds.

That's it. However, it is clear that Larry and Rashid have not experienced such suffering and are not yet sober.

The 76ers are still muddy, Luke tries his best to defend, but Luke is not omnipotent, if you go to make up for Robert Horry, then; Bryant, who Luke defended, was bound to be let go, and this one was even more terrifying than Robert Horry. It's not good to let go of anyone.

It's over! (To be continued......)
