232. The last five minutes
Yao Ming smiled bitterly and said: "This may have happened, I don't know what the two of them did it for, but I know that this team is very united, to see how cohesive a team is, there is a standard, that is, to see how many malicious fouls they encountered." So far, no one dares to foul the Pistons maliciously, they are five on the ball, fifteen on the fight, and no one dares to mess with them. ”
The two experts commented on it, the Pistons also had a beautiful counterattack, Billups passed the ball to Huaben, who tricked O'Neal into turning around and dunking, Kobe Bryant came up to make up for the defense without fear of death, and Huabenso jumped up with Peter Pan and played 2+1.
"Carl, be quick!" Kobe Bryant complained dissatisfiedly, he had a foul on his back, but he didn't effectively stop the opponent, which is quite embarrassing, the key is that this kind of defense is not his job.
Malone pursed his lips, stood on the free throw diagonal and did not speak, it was still the same sentence, if someone dared to speak to Uncle Malone like this, he would have sent you to the morgue to lie down with an elbow.
Wajen gloated at another sign of infighting on the Lakers, and when he got the ball, he winked at Rashid, who nodded with a smirk on his face.
The free throw was shot, and the ball slammed into the rebound crookedly, with considerable force, and it bounced straight back. Malone and O'Neill stuck in the penalty area on one left and one right, but the ball bounced back far away, and the two couldn't reach it, but Rashid in the back happened to grab it.
"Offensive rebounds!" Rashid roared excitedly, and then the referee's whistle blew quickly, and the Pistons players looked at Donaghi dumbfounded, who ruled that Wajben had a free throw violation and deliberately missed the ball.
Seeing this scene, many impulsive Pistons fans smashed the TV directly, Rashid threw the ball and was about to go up to smoke Donnagy, he endured too much anger in the finals, and this time he finally couldn't hold it back.
Huaben held Rashid and glared angrily at the three referees, and finally had to suffer this dumb loss. There is a precedent for this kind of penalty in the NBA, most recently Bob Brown, a former teammate of Waben and a former teammate of Yao Mingyue, in April. Sula's behavior with the Eagles.
On April 12, 2004, the Hawks played against the Nets, and in the last moments of the game, Sula's technical statistics were 20 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds. So, at the moment when the final gong sounded, his teammates passed the ball to Sula, who knocked the ball to the bottom edge of the basket with his left hand, and then easily grabbed the bounced ball and threw the ball in.
After the game, Sula and his teammates hugged each other warmly to celebrate the historic moment. However, Sura's celebration was a bit early, because soon the referees discussed with the rostrum and ruled that Sura's last rebound was invalid, on the grounds that "the premise for an athlete to get a rebound is that the shot must be for the purpose of scoring; Deliberately failing to make a shot simply to get the ball off the rebound should not be counted in the technical statistics. ”
Sulla's this is nothing, the most bulkered is Richie of the Cavaliers last season. In order to hit the first "triple-double" of his career, Davis actually rushed to his team's basket with the ball and swiped the rebound! The audience was dumbfounded, and the referee was dumbfounded, how can this be punished? It was from that day on, after discussion, the NBA decided to add a new way of judging, any rebound that is not aimed at scoring is a hooligan!
Donaghi's decision was based on this theory.
By the way, the self-grabbing and self-dunking that stars are keen on in the future is not considered a rebound, and if it is deducted, it is only two points in technical statistics, such as Maddie; If it hadn't been deducted, such as Kobe, it would have been miserable, and he wouldn't even score.
This time it was the Lakers' turn to gloat, Barkley covered his eyes and cursed the black whistle and the bad whistle and the like, and Smith also held the grievances of the Pistons and said directly to the Magic: "Just give you the O'Brien Cup." ”
The only ones who were happy were the Lakers fans, and of course, their joy didn't last long.
The referee's repeated unfair decisions aroused the anger of the Pistons, and under the command of Huaben, this team snatched the identity of the Lakers' mourning soldiers, and their fighting spirit was high, and they vented to the Lakers one by one with a breath of anger.
The Lakers are not far behind, and the two old gentlemen stepped up at the critical moment, Malone and Payton returned to their peak form under the stimulus of the championship, allowing the newcomers of the Pistons to see the superstar style of the 90s of the last century.
Billups passed Rashid, Tianzun took the ball and used his speed to shake off Malone and slide to the basket to complete the two-handed dunk, and the Lakers fans booed wildly.
Back in the day, Fisher covered Payton, who jumped from beyond the three-point line to add three points to his team. At this time, the Lakers fans were still booing, making the gloves a little stunned, why boo me? What about the cheers?
Waiting for the Lakers fans to react and cheer, Billups made a high-profile pass to the inside, and Wabeen took off to catch the ball to complete the aerial operation, and came to a one-handed dunk.
Basketball flew over the court, one of the two sides wanted revenge, the other wanted to win the championship, they both killed red-eyed, regardless of the rhythm or tactics, they rushed up when they had the chance, and they had to make fouls if they couldn't score. When defending, one action was bigger than the other, both sides were silent and did not protest, and the referee Suo turned a blind eye.
This has a greater advantage over Malone, the old guy's elbow is getting stronger and stronger the older he gets, and his black skin is like a minotaur who has been blessed by a shaman in a demonic beast, Rashid was beaten by him and almost vomited blood, whether it was grabbing a rebound or scoring a layup, it was the elbow that served first.
Seeing such a wonderful attack and defense, the fans danced with joy, and the head coaches were not satisfied. The old man and the Zen master both frowned vigorously, is this a street ball? Where did the blocking and dismantling, the strong and weak side covers, the high and low passes, all the usual training go?
Brown was inferior to Jackson in zazen, and the Zen master was still calm, and the old man called a timeout first.
Originally, the old coach planned to scold his head and face, look at the score, 90:90, his team still has a slight advantage (the Pistons' ball possession), he had to make a substitution, no scolding.
Hamilton, who had rested for two quarters, came on the court, the energetic Oku also replaced Mirisic, and the Lakers were also making personnel changes, but there were very few changes, only Rush replaced Fisher, and the Flyers returned to their favorite point guard position.
Changing places and fighting again, Hamilton was a grievance that he watched on the bench before, but now he is on the field, he is full of energy, and he is not playing hard?
Kobe Bryant's defense has always been excellent, otherwise he would not have been selected for this season's best defensive team, the problem is that he has run for three quarters and has lost a lot of energy, and he can't catch up with Hamilton, who is from a long-distance running family.
Run out of the gap, don't hesitate, go you! Hamilton and Billups are old partners, and when they get the ball, they turn and jump shots, and they successfully gain the initiative for the team, 92-90.
O'Neal gave Kobe Bryant a deep look and didn't say anything in the end. He didn't need to say anything, Kobe Bryant knew it, and when he turned around, he broke through the basket, causing the mask man to defend the foul and stand on the free throw line.
After two free throws and two hits, the score was tied again, 92:92, at this time, there were only 25 seconds left in the time, and the last attack of the third quarter was about to begin, and whether it could enter the fourth quarter with a lead depends on this ball.
Billups cruised around the three-point line with the ball, Prince and Hamilton sprinted around like cheetahs looking for food, and Oku and Wabben coordinated each other in the horns, and the movement of the four men ripped up the Lakers' defense.
"Keep an eye on your own people, keep an eye on your own people, don't care if you leak or not, be optimistic about your own position!" The Zen master looked at the dynamics on the court worriedly, and rarely began to point fingers.
O'Neal and Malone exchanged a look, the two did not follow the instructions of the Zen master, and at the same time stared at Hua Ben, in the eyes of these two talented stars, the most threatening is naturally Hua Ben, who is closest to the basket.
With 8 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, Billups, who had been running slowly, suddenly accelerated, and Payton had been waiting for this for a long time, but when the time came, he still didn't catch up with him, and was thrown off by his acceleration connection.
Billups rushed straight to the basket and jumped up at O'Neill, like the Zhiyuan that hit the ship, full of determination to go and never return.
Defend Billups or Wolfburn? O'Neill's little head was a little spinning.
The Zen master snapped his fingers and called a timeout, the referee blew the whistle, and Bryant shook off the ball and walked off the court with his teammates.
The timer and scoreboard have two lines of blood-red numbers written on them: [05:22], [108:107]
With five minutes left in the game, the Pistons had a slim lead of just one point, but that lead could be lost at any moment.
The Zen master made a simple personnel adjustment, replacing Rush with George, and the Four Heavenly Kings remained on the field. After deploying his tactics, he finally said lightly: "Kobe, don't always play alone, pass the ball, and give the ball to your teammates when they are open." Or, you let Gary control the ball. ”
Bryant nodded, and once again regained his expressionless appearance. In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant took a total of 10 shots, but only hit 3 balls, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
Kobe Bryant is such a person, stubborn, arrogant, never admit defeat, Prince's defense is fantastic, the wrong play aroused the fighting spirit in Kobe's heart, although he knows that according to the tactics should be divided or covered, but he just doesn't want to execute, Prince's face makes him angry, his expression seems to say: Hey, Kobe, you are not the best outside, I can block you.
