Game 7 of the 2009-2010 NBA East and West Finals, the last 3 minutes and 21 seconds!
The Pacers called a timeout of all, and when they came back, the situation on the entire court changed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hibbert was off the court, Murphy was on the court, and although he had five fouls now, he didn't get confused.
Al Jefferson and Granger both woke up Zhang Kong, plus Zhang Kong and Deng Tai Jones, who was not blindfolded in the first place.
The Pacers once again burst into a strong fight, and after coming on the court, Zhang Kong received a pass from Granger and hit a three-point shot.
narrowed the original nine-point gap to six points, and the Lakers saw that Zhang Kong didn't drill into the pocket he laid down, and there were some surprises, only Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson saw clearly, and the eyes of the Pacers at this time were no longer lost just now, but they were all bright and ruthless, everything proves that the players on the Pacers' side have eased up.
The slowed down Pacers' offense is even sharper, and the Lakers' idea of trying to save time has been ruthlessly crushed by the Pacers.
Kobe Bryant's breakthrough wanted to go to the basket, but he was met by Zhang Kong and Deng Tai Jones joint counterattack, their cooperation was much more tacit than just now, Deng Tai Jones was in front, so that Kobe Bryant could not run fast, jump not high, and Zhang Kong was behind, when Kobe threw the ball out, Zhang Kong jumped directly and fanned the basketball in mid-air, after the basketball fell.
Picked by Granger, after Granger picked the basketball, he ran to the opponent's half court for the first time, and after running to the opponent's half, Granger easily threw the basketball into the air and dodged Artest who was defending himself, but Artest did not dodge Al Jefferson who followed behind, Jefferson shouted, fell directly from the sky, took the basketball into his arms and smashed it into the basket, and at the same time Artest on the ground couldn't dodge it, and was hit by Al Jefferson.
This is the home field, no one will complain for Artest, and the referee directly gave a blocking foul, 2+1.
Al Jefferson ignored Artest, who fell to the ground, and went straight to the free throw line, and under the attention of all the fans and players, he steadily scored the ball, and with 2:08 left in the game, the Pacers chased the score by only three points.
And at the critical moment, the Lakers' side is absolutely unambiguous, Gasol successfully got to the position on the inside, but as soon as he received the ball, the three players next to him pounced at the same time, Murphy and Al Jefferson on the inside and Zhang Kong on the outside line all pounced on Gasol's side for the first time, and the six big hands kept stroking the sister-in-law's body, making the sister-in-law gasp again and again.
But it's a pity that the things in his arms are too important, he definitely can't do it, and at this time the three of them have already sealed the outside line to death, Dundee Jones is still staring at Kobe, Granger is still entangled with Artest, except for the two of them, the remaining Fisher and Bynum players in the Pacers look like they are playing soy sauce, there is no way, and the three-second offensive time is coming.
Gasol can now only pin his hopes on offense, and he can only force a jump under the three-man bag and then try to make a layup.
Gasol's reaction was unexpected by the Pacers players, originally they thought that this Spanish softball should hand over the ball, but who would have thought that this guy jumped over the wall in a hurry, and actually wanted to score the ball under the sandwich of Zhang Kong, Murphy and Al Jefferson, and then it was time to witness the miracle, Gasol actually got the ball in...... At the same time, the referee's whistle blew as the Pacers' three defenders were stunned for a moment, giving Gasol plenty of time to find Murphy's big hand with his own hand, and then touch it lightly before throwing the ball into the ...... The referee suddenly jumped out at this time.
Murphy defended the foul again, 2+1 to send Gasol to the free throw line, not to mention, but also got himself out of the game...... "Broken, broken!" At the live broadcast of the court station, Director Zhang watched Murphy helplessly raise his hand and walk off the court, he knew that things were going to be bad, Murphy had already grabbed 11 rebounds in this game, if it weren't for him, maybe the Pacers would have let the Lakers break through the basket, and now that he is punished, the rebounds on the Pacers' side will be over.
Jim O'Brien had to replace it with Hibbert, who had calmed down, and Zhang Kong didn't give him a sober spray, so he could only let him slowly sober up, but fortunately, this guy's surname was not too bad, and he slowly sobered up.
Back on the court, Gasol's free throw hit steadily, the Lakers led the Pacers by 6 points at 76-70, and now there was 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the game, Zhang Kong slowly dribbled past the halfcourt, looked at the time, and then looked at Kobe Bryant, who was defending himself, and after hesitating for a moment, he still handed the ball to Granger, and now it was not time for him to shoot.
Granger didn't hesitate as much as Zhang Kong, and after receiving the ball, he went straight to the three-point jumper and pushed the basketball out every time.
His hand today was actually okay, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and easily fell into the basket.
The Pacers narrowed the gap to three points again, but Artest here was not polite, and returned the favor with his own way, and in the same position, after grinding for a certain amount of time, he also hit a three-pointer in front of Granger.
However, Zhang Kong immediately hit another shot, and the Pacers still trailed by three points with 51.3 seconds before the end.
The key ball, Kobe Bryant held the ball, slowly pressed the time, Deng Tai Jones guarded Kobe Bryant, and Zhang Kong also used his spare eyes to watch Kobe's movements, ready to go over at any time to make up for the defense, and finally 24 seconds of offensive time to ensure that there were 6 seconds left, Kobe moved, suddenly pressed forward, and then immediately stepped back to shoot, Deng Tai Jones, who defended Kobe Bryant, was not deceived by the other party, reacted immediately, immediately took a step ahead, and blocked Kobe Bryant with both hands.
Kobe Bryant's three-point count, inherited his not very good hand in this game, threw it straight out, and then smashed it on the basket, seeing that the ball did not go in, the Pacers players were relieved, but this breath did not wait for them to breathe.
Immediately brought it up again, because although Hibbert on the inside jumped high, it was Bynum who was stuck in front of him, and the difference in height was five minutes, but the hands of the two people touched the basketball at almost the same time, and the basketball was subjected to two completely different forces, and it did not fall to other places at the first time, but flew straight up again, and this time the person who had been prepared for a long time was the Lakers, Gasol's height was 213 cm, and Al Jefferson was 206 cm, It's enough to play a big forward like this, but it's not enough to grab rebounds at such a critical moment!
Gasol was stuck in front of Al Jefferson, and immediately put the rebounding ball into his arms, frontcourt rebounds, the most critical frontcourt rebounds, originally the Pacers still had a chance, but now it looks like the chance is slim!
Gasol didn't stop after taking the rebound, but directly used a behind-the-head pass to the team's boss Kobe.
After Kobe Bryant received the ball, he began to stabilize the situation on the outside again, and there were only 21 seconds left before the end of the game, Kobe Bryant forced a breakthrough, under the entanglement of Dundee Jones, although he did not score, but he deceived Dundee Jones's foul, after two free throws, the Lakers led by five points, and the Pacers called a timeout, and now there are only 21 seconds left in the game, the Pacers need to shoot a three-pointer first, and then foul, and then grab a three-pointer, if the opponent's free throw only scored one, Then the Pacers have a chance, and if the opponent hits both free throws, the Pacers' chances are pitiful...... Everyone knew how to play the tactics now, and after sending the ball out of the half, the team found the empty space as soon as possible.
After Zhang Kong received the ball, he used Hibbert's already standing block to block Kobe, and at the moment when he blocked Kobe Bryant, and the players who made up the defense were not in place, Zhang Kong jumped high and gently sent the basketball in his hand out.
After the basketball drew a near-perfect arc in the air, it fell straight into the Nets, 79-81, and the Pacers used three three-pointers to chase the score to only 2 points, and there were 16 seconds left before the end of the game.
According to Jim O'Brien's arrangement, what the Pacers need now is to foul, and then grab a three-point shot, and the ball is sent again, but the Lakers' personnel have been replaced with the most accurate players on the free throw shoot, Fisher, Vujasic, Kobe, Artest, Gasol The lineup is very powerful, at least in the free throws, the basketball was sent out by Gasol for the first time.
But it's a pity that the Lakers didn't judge the right person, and the Lakers didn't look for Kobe Bryant at the first time, which made Deng Tai Jones, who was going to shoot Kobe, not react, the first person the Lakers were looking for was Vujasic, originally everyone thought that this guy was here to play soy sauce, who knew that he was the last killer, Vujacic ran quickly towards the Pacers' half after getting the ball.
And the fastest reaction is undoubtedly Zhang Kong, and only he can be the first to strike, not long after Vujacic just passed the half, Zhang Kong directly found him, slapped his right hand, huge force, so that Vujacic fell directly to the side.
However, it can be seen that Zhang Kong is aiming for the opponent's hand, so he did not judge the technical foul, but just sent Vujacic to the free throw line.
Looking at Vujacic standing at the free throw line, the hearts of countless fans around the world tugged at these two balls, which are crucial!
