Chapter 649: I Won't Let You Be in the Limelight (Second Update)
Kenny Smith believes his silence is the difference between going for the Lakers.
However, the Lakers themselves don't think so, and they are also full of joy now, because Xiao Sage has made full efforts at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which is the result they want to see the most, and it doesn't matter whether Spark scores or not, the important thing is whether Scarb's physical strength is consumed quickly or not!!
According to the level of attrition at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, the Lakers even think that Xiao Dash will not survive the halftime break. After all... Xiao Shao is still a person after all, he is not a god, and he is not a tireless machine. It's a time when people will have a physical collapse, and now the Lakers are waiting for a dashing physical collapse.
Xiao Dash certainly knew what the Lakers were thinking, and in fact it was no secret from the beginning. Phil Jackson has already announced it loudly, and he is also doing this to force Xiao Sang to make a choice, so that Xiao Shan is in a dilemma, or hesitation...... When people enter the dilemma of hesitation, they will naturally be inresolute, naturally indecisive, and naturally not resolute. And in such a crucial game as the finals, when a team is in a situation where it is not resolute, decisive, and undetermined, it will certainly not win.
And even if Xiao Shao did not hesitate and did not have a dilemma, he was resolute and decisive in attacking forward, so... He has also fallen into the trap of the Lakers, and his stamina will be depleted very quickly!
Phil Jackson has always been an old fox, and when he said that, he knew he was going to win tonight, and no matter what choice Xiao Xiao made, he would raise a glass of wine to celebrate the victory at the end of the game! And in the following games, keep raising wine glasses to celebrate the victory.
Phil Jackson thinks he's invincible, and the Lakers' bench is mostly in that mood. In their opinion. After seeing through Xiao Shi's greatest reliance. The Knicks have nothing to fear. After all. In the final analysis, the Knicks are supported by Xiao Shi alone, and Xiao Xiao's most arrogant weapon is his crazy projection, as long as the crazy projection is stimulated in the first three quarters, won't everything be fine?
The game was still going on, Xiao Xiao was still fighting both offensive and defensive ends, and under his hard work, the Knicks gradually made up for the gap.
The Lakers weren't thrilled about that. They are still playing at their pace.
For them, the most important thing now is not the score, the most important thing is Xiao Xiao's body, as long as Xiao Xiao is still running at high speed, then there is no problem at all, even if it is a little behind...... I'm still ahead of the curve!!
In the midst of this tug-of-war offense and defense, the first quarter ended with Kobe Bryant's buzzer-beating shot...... Bang!!
The basketball misses the basket.
As a result, the Lakers ended up holding a three-point lead in the first quarter. 27:24, the score that looks very scorching.
But in fact, both Lakers players and Lakers fans. They were all very satisfied with this score, and they originally planned to use 'backwardness' to consume their sluggish physical strength. I didn't expect the team to be neither behind, but also to consume the physical strength of the chic like something, it is really a double win, eating bear's paws and eating fish at the same time!!
While the Lakers were full of joy, Xiao Xiao did not have too much frustration in his heart.
He just had a little bit of worry, this worry did not come from his physical strength, he felt in good physical condition now, although he fought for a few minutes at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, he felt that his body was still full of energy, and there was no sign of fatigue. The only thing Xiao is worried about now is... My teammates haven't been able to play the offense yet, so how can that be done?
This kind of worry is not easy to release it, because he doesn't want to put unnecessary pressure on his teammates, so he just let everything take its course, and maybe it will be good for a while, no one can say.
Therefore, the bench on the Knicks' side seemed relatively silent, Xiao Xiao did not speak, and the other Knicks players did not speak.
When the silence spread to a moment of embarrassment, Nate Robinson suddenly walked up to Xiao Shi and said in what he thought was a small voice that could be heard by the entire bench and even the Lakers fans in the back row: "Boss, Rihanna just wrote me a note." She wants me to tell you that she is sorry for the protests of those supporters, she herself has absolutely no bad opinion of you, she says that she will still love you, worship you and pursue you as always!! β
Even if it is conveyed, Nate Robinson said it, it is still extraordinarily numb.
Hey!!
Milicic couldn't help but shudder, his voice made the Knicks players and staff who were still pretending not to hear become inexplicably embarrassed, they either coughed, or looked at him left and right, the atmosphere actually became a little lively under this strange embarrassment.
"Boss, I don't think Rihanna is suitable for you at all, you must ignore her, Swift is fine." After a sigh, Milicic couldn't help but open his mouth and give Xiao Shi a heartfelt suggestion from him.
"Boss, you know Milicich's aesthetics, he doesn't know what beauty is!! Taylor Swift is like a bamboo pole, not fleshy at all, I really don't know what to like. β
"You know what? Sex appeal comes from the bones, not from the fat. β
"And what do you know? Poor taste Europeans. β
"Savages from Africa!!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
As soon as the two disagreed, they turned on the spray mode!
Spraying the two of them, Xiao Dash turned around directly, and didn't bother to pay attention to them. The Knicks players on the side didn't mean to persuade them, and these two dashing die-hard fans would always have a heated argument over some inexplicable issue, and then it didn't take a few minutes to get along as if nothing had happened.
In this regard, Stephen Marbury's explanation was unanimously agreed by everyone...... The two of them are simply jealous in order to get the favor of Chic, so they can quarrel over the slightest thing!!
While the two were arguing, the tension that permeated the Knicks' bench finally dissipated somewhat.
Then, the game begins.
The Knicks are still the original lineup. The Lakers made a slight adjustment. Shannon Brown replaced Derrick Fisher as point guard. Lamar Odom replaces Mr. Charity for World Peace...... In the battle against the Knicks, Mr. World Peace played a negligible role, and it was Lamar Odom who was better able to make it.
The game restarted, the Knicks were still fighting alone, and the Lakers were more on offense because they had joined the new force, and their tactics were a lot more flexible, in this situation. The Knicks' iron bucket-like defense also began to show the slightest hole, and the Lakers' shooting percentage gradually improved.
Of course, the hit rate is higher on the dashing side. He rushed into the box, basically to make a foul. And Phil Jackson has had enough of the six fouls in the last game, so they must pay attention to their hand movements early and must not get too many fouls on Xiao Shi.
Xiao rushed to make fouls, but Phil Jackson let them not foul. What else can I do in this situation? Retreat!
When the Lakers' defense in the restricted area automatically retreats, isn't the dashing penalty area scoring still a demand?
So, in the third minute of the second quarter. The Knicks officially overtook the score, and then slowly widened the score difference!!
on this. The Lakers have no opinion. As long as Xiao Shi is still consuming physical strength at a high load, they have no objection to the temporary backwardness, they don't want to lose a big deal because of a small one!!
However, when the ninth minute of the second quarter was played, when the Knicks led by nine points, they were about to enter the double-digit bar. Drip!!
Xiao asked for a pause.
The dashing timeout baffled the Lakers.
Could it be that ... Xiao Wan finally can't hold on anymore and wants to take a break??
Phil Jackson thought so in his heart, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.
He had been preparing for this moment for too long.
Chick is finally tired!
He's finally going to rest!
Taking advantage of the few minutes he rested, he quickly reversed the score and tried to take the lead at the end of the second quarter. Then in the third quarter, he forced Xiao to throw a hand, so that he entered a crazy projection in the second half of the third quarter or even the first half, and when he finished convulsing, it would be the world of the Lakers.
Phil Jackson has been pushing the plate countless times in his mind, he has calculated many possibilities, and each possibility ultimately points to the Lakers winning and the Knicks failing!!
However, one thing he didn't calculate was that when the sky was bright this morning, the female boss of the Clippers entered the hotel where Xiao Xiao was staying, and had a crazy and hearty battle with Xiao Shan. This makes Xiao Sa extra energetic tonight, even if he has been running under high load for so long, his body is still not tired at all!!
And at this moment, Xiao Xiao is worried that Tyson Chandler, who has been working the court since the opening, is tired.
So, he called this timeout.
After returning to the bench, Milicic quickly entered the mode of arguing with Nate Robinson, and the two instantly quarreled with a red face and thick neck.
Seeing that these two goods were so energetic, he simply waved his hand: "Nate Robinson, Eddie Curry, you replace Jeffries and Tyson Chandler, and then attack freely!" Play as much as you like, there are still three minutes before the intermission, let's be presumptuous, we were all too nervous!! β
Larry Brown didn't understand the chic personnel scheduling, with Nate Robinson and Eddie Curry on the court at the same time? Isn't that nondescript? The fast break can't run, the positional offense Robinson has no legendary ability, and the defense of this lineup instantly degenerated from the iron bucket level to the trash can level.
What is this doing? Free offense? Presumptuous?
Larry Brown frowned, he took Finals victory very seriously, and he was a very strict and rigid coach who would not allow any indulgence on the court. And he felt... Does the current Knicks have the right to be presumptuous? Now it's time to race against time to expand the score, and when Xiao Shi is really tired and the crazy projection is released early, what should the Knicks do? With the remnants of the formation without scarcity, it is simply difficult to stop the Lakers' iron hooves from plundering!!
"Xiao, is this arrangement really good?" Although Larry Brown was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, he still said this to Xiao Shi in a consultative tone.
If the players he coached before knew about this, he would have to fall into the eyeballs. When did Larry Brown become so tender? Isn't he the kind of ruthless and self-respecting tyrant?
However. The world is always impermanent.
Even Larry Brown has changed dramatically in his attitude. Xiao Shao still didn't have the consciousness that this old man was once a tyrant, but shook his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, I have my own plans." β
If the former Iverson heard this, the skin of his whole body would have to be tightened, and even the unruly Alan Iverson would not dare to say it to Larry Brown during the game... You don't care, I have my own plans, where are you going to stay cool!!
And what the world didn't expect was even more. Larry Brown nodded, then walked to the side and sat down quietly, without the slightest argument or negative emotional outburst. I just sat quietly to the side, but I locked my eyes on the court and made a wait-and-see expression!!
No one would have thought that Larry Brown, the grumpy guru, would have such a gentle and frugal day, and most people would even think that Larry Brown would take his irascible and dictatorial life to the grave, but in New York, here, he emptied his irascible and self-serving. Turned into a gentle old man.
And for Larry Brown himself, he doesn't think it's such a remarkable transformation. Because in the year since joining the Knicks, he has seen the miracles of Xiao Shi one after another, and witnessed the birth of countless miracles of Xiao Xiao on the first scene, he has fully believed in Xiao Xiao's ability, and feels that Xiao Xiao is better than himself in grasping the game. Based on this, he is so gentle. And if it is another player, he will still release his irritability, even if LeBron James is like this to him, he will not hesitate to let LeBron James stay on the bench and be sober.
Therefore, the grumpy thing has never left Larry Brown's body, he just regards Xiao as an equal or even a higher level of coach, so he will converge it, so he will be so gentle and frugal!!
Drip!
With a whistle, the lineup that calmed down the irascible Larry Brown and waited for it came to the court.
When Phil Jackson saw Xiao Shao return to the court and change to this strange lineup, the whole person was stunned, and he couldn't guess what Xiao Xiao wanted to do. This has never happened in his pre-match push rehearsal, although he knows that Xiao Xiao likes to use strange moves, but is this really a strange move?
"Is the Knicks going to surrender?"
Shannon Brown was stupid and naΓ―ve to ask Kobe Bryant, the boss on the side.
Kobe Bryant thought about it very seriously, and then shook his head: "I don't know." β
"Let's talk about it!"
Kobe Bryant is still an experiential person after all, he prefers to speak with facts and express feelings with battles.
Soon, the game resumed.
Xiao sent the ball to Nate Robinson in the center circle, and Nate Robinson received the basketball and turned around and made a shot put to the front court!!
When the basketball came out, Xiao Sang was a little stunned...... Big brother, I know you've been practicing ultra-long-range shooting lately, but are you sure it's really okay to do that? Isn't this really a mess? I'm just letting you be presumptuous, not letting you walk in style!!
Xiao Sao was so surprised, needless to say, the players of the Lakers team, and the fans in the Stamp Arena were even more surprised and completely shocked!
Nate Robinson, this guy is really going to heaven!! Dare to shoot so far, and don't even dribble, shoot when you receive a serve, is this basketball child's play?
To everyone's belief, the basketball had flown over the three-point line, over the free-throw line, and into the restricted area.
Just when everyone was speculating whether this unbelievable basketball would hit the basket, a figure suddenly jumped up under the basket, directly held the 'shot' and smashed it into the basket...... Rumble!!
When Milicic hung on the basket, the Lakers' players, especially the interior players, didn't react...... When did Milicic run into the box? Why is there no defense at all? Just watch him smash a basketball into the hoop so easily?
No way, who let the attention be drawn to Nate Robinson's bizarre three-pointer?
Who pays attention to Milicic!!
And Milicic pointed at Nate Robinson and laughed after scoring a violent dunk: "Hahahaha, little man, I didn't expect it!" I'm not going to let you be in the limelight!! β
