Chapter 345: Who Said No!

After this setup, the Lakers' tactics relied entirely on Paul. Gasol made the axis, Odom and Kobe Bryant became supporting roles, and the whole team patiently led the triangle offensive strategy.

Petrus and Fisher's outside shots and Petrus' cut-ins caused big problems for the Magic, especially Fisher's three consecutive three-point shots that drove the entire Staples crazy.

And the Magic team is like putting their hands into the cold Arctic Ocean seabed, and the feeling plummets in an instant.

"Bryant had a hard time back, Ron had blocked his face and still couldn't prevent the goal, and even almost got a penalty, unbelievable, unbelievable, L.A. came back to life, they came back to life, and L.A. took four minutes to take a two-point lead.

Even though Orlando's poor hand is related to the Los Angeles defense, there are big problems with their own hand, including Wood, who should play a little more confident and not pass the ball! Hoffman said, looking at the field.

Lin Sen was frantically defended during this time, Kobe Bryant and Petrus made Lin Sen very uncomfortable with the continuous change of defense, and in these five minutes, Lin Sen shot 5 and only hit 2 goals, which looked good, but for Lin Sen this shooting rate is obviously unqualified.

Stan called a timeout, this timeout was necessary! Orlando had to tweak, Chauncey and Wood are the two big hearts of Orlando, they don't have a mess but they don't feel very good. "Bill. Wharton said, looking at the sidelines.

The long timeout passed quickly, and the game resumed as the referee blew the whistle.

"Bryant defends Wood, what will Wood choose this time? Do you want to do it yourself? This offense is especially important for Orlando. "Bill. Wharton said.

The basketball and the ground are constantly colliding. Kobe Bryant looked at Lin Sen coldly. There was a chill in his eyes.

Lin Sen accelerated violently. Bryant immediately turned to chase after him.

Boom!

However, this time Bryant's body was intercepted by a wall, and Petrus on the other side immediately prepared to make up the defense, but he was also slow and failed to change the defense as perfectly as in the previous minutes.

Looking at Lin Sen's cut back, Kobe raised his head and glared angrily at Darko who was blocking him. Milicic.

"This time the Los Angeles outside didn't stop Wood, and Wood rushed inside!" Bill. Wharton shouted.

Natalie in the audience. Portman stared at Lin Sen tightly, originally they thought that the game was won, but they didn't expect such a sudden change. They hope that Lin Sen will usher in tomorrow's Oscar feast with victory, not defeat.

Looking at the Lakers twin towers on the inside, Linson gritted his teeth, the defense of the Lakers' outside Petrus and Kobe Bryant a few minutes ago was a key, and the Paul on the inside. Gasol and Odom's defence was even more crucial.

At this moment, Lin Sen chose to rush inside, and if he stopped urgently, Petrus was likely to make up for the defense and interfere with his shot.

Lin Sen stepped heavily with his left foot in the free throw line, and almost at the same time held the ball to his chest with both hands, like carrying a dynamite bag to blow up a bunker.

Such a tough attitude also made Paul. Gasol had to worry about his defense, and he was worried about being fouled by Linson.

Lin Sen protected the ball with both hands and cut directly to the inside, looking at Gasol with his arms raised without any fear, he took a step and collided with Gasol.

Boom!

The two collided one by one. Gasol kept his cylinder for fear of being whistled for a foul.

Lin Sen took a step with his right foot and adjusted his body's center of gravity. Plus Gasol didn't dare to press down, which gave Lin Sen a chance.

Squeezed directly from Gasol's right side, Lin Sen passed Pau Gasol and then stomped heavily on the floor with his left foot.

Completely leaving Gasol behind, the ball was handed to the right hand and a reflexive pick-up sent the ball into the basket.

"Wood, Wood's successful goal, this time a stubborn breakthrough, Paul, who had five fouls on his back, did not dare to press down to give Wood a chance, 107:107, the two sides were tied, and there was 1 minute and 19 seconds left before the end of the game. In a real life-and-death battle, every point counts. Hoffman shouted excitedly.

Kobe Bryant directly crossed the ball in the backcourt, and Artest looked at Kobe Bryant, who was pressing forward step by step, and his defense was under a lot of pressure.

Artest immediately put it on and didn't wait in place, and in an instant, Artest was like a dog skin plaster stuck to Kobe Bryant's body, and at the same time, his own small movements were also deployed.

He must not let Kobe continue to score, as long as he guards Kobe's ball and returns to the offensive end of the Magic to score another goal, then the situation will be much more favorable to the Magic.

Bryant. Bryant carried Artest's idea of not passing, and listened to the cheers of the whole court, and hit his back.

"Paul cover!" Bill. Wharton shouted loudly, and Kobe, who was leaning on Artest with his back, immediately turned around.

Lin Sen, who was not far away, immediately pounced, but Lin Sen was still a beat slower.

Bryant had already taken a step inside the three-point line and pulled out his hand, and the ball flew out of the arc and drilled into the basket.

"Bryant, Bryant is still on fire, and his goal helped Los Angeles take two points again! The pressure is back on Orlando's side, and I can even imagine Orlando and Los Angeles playing to the bottom of the game like they did in the first regular season meeting, and even putting on a stunner. "Bill. Wharton said.

Originally, he thought that the suspense of the game was gone, and the Orlando Magic would take the victory away from home, but he didn't expect the sudden change in the wind and cloud into a poor Magic hand, and the Lakers, who were nine points behind, caught up with the point difference and achieved a reversal. Wharton had to lament that anything was possible on the basketball court.

Lin Sen can only reluctantly accept the fact that he was scored by Kobe, and for the Magic, he must temporarily throw away all the pressure at this moment and strive for the success rate.

With a minute to go, you're two points down, and if you want to win, you have to at least equalise.

"That's Kobe. Bryant, big heart, he never relented when it mattered, he showed with his actions that this is his home field, this is his turf, what kind of return will Wood make, now Orlando needs to score, someone needs to step up, Wood as the leader of the team he has that responsibility. Hoffman looked at Lin Sen on the field and said.

However, God played a joke with Lin Sen. Lin Sen jumped directly outside the three-point line with the help of blocking and dismantling. He felt good. But in the end, it came out of the frame.

'It's an unreasonable attacking option, but it makes sense for Wood, but God played a joke on him, and I thought it was going to go in and help Orlando take the lead, but it came out of the frame and Orlando had to defend well. Hoffman said with some regret.

Lin Sen shook his arm in annoyance, he felt good and good about the ball just now, but he couldn't hit it. If he loses the game at the end of the game, he can imagine that the ball will be criticized by many people.

"Wood continues, you're doing a great job!" Stan. Van Gundy shouted at Linson on the field, who turned his head to look at Stan. Van Gundy, nodded, while feeling lucky to be able to magic.

Everyone wants to have a coach and team-mates who always support him, but it's not an easy task, and he gets the treatment that countless people can only dream of.

Paul. Gasol picked up the defensive rebound and immediately handed the ball to Kobe.

Switching offense and defense, the Lakers played patiently, and Kobe Bryant attracted the defense to pass the ball to Gasol. Gasol opted for a single against Milicic's defence.

Almost twenty-four seconds of whistle sounded, a flip jumped on the insurance rob. Gasol sent the ball to the basket, and the faces of the Magic fans in front of the TV were filled with a look of loss.

Thirty-one seconds to go. The Magic trailed the Lakers by four points.

"The game is completely grim, Orlando can only score goals to keep the possibility of winning, and what Los Angeles has to do is to defend, as long as Orlando's next attack is prevented, then the suspense of the game will disappear completely." Hoffman said.

Stan. Van Gundy used up the last long timeout for the Magic, and the Magic only had a 20-second timeout left.

"Grab three points, or pursue the success rate to find a two, it's a choice problem?" Bill. Wharton said, looking at the Magic bench.

"Almost everyone on the Magic team has three-point ability, which is a huge test for the Lakers' defense, especially Wood and Chauncey, in fact, I won't have any surprise that Orlando chooses three points, I think Phil will think the same way, and if he thinks so, he can easily grab a two-point shot by Orlando." Hoffman said.

Timeout back, Sean. Battier, Ron. Artest, Darko. Milicic, Linson and Billups became the most powerful lineup on the court, and everyone in this lineup has three-point ability except for Milicic.

Phil. Jackson had expected such a situation, and he still thought that the ball would go to Linson.

Honk!

The referee blew the whistle, and the four members of the Magic team immediately ran around to try to distance everyone as much as possible, and the four of them disrupted the Lakers' defense as much as possible.

Daktronics. Milicic saw Linson and immediately threw the ball over.

Due to the fast running position of four people back and forth, so that the Daktronics. Milicic caught a short chance of passing the ball in the open space, so the quality of the pass was not very good.

Lin Sen could only jump up to take the ball down, so that Kobe Bryant stopped in front of Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked at the timer with his spare eyes, time did not allow him to move too much, and stabilized the rhythm Kobe Bryant's outstretched arms covered Lin Sen.

Boom!

The back and Kobe Bryant collided, the left foot was the axis, and the right hand pulled the ball and turned to the right side of Kobe.

Bryant adjusted his defensive center of gravity, and Linson took advantage of the situation to pull the ball back, and with a change of wrist, the ball landed behind him on the right side.

At the same time, Lin Sen retreated with his right foot, and on his left heel, there was a gap of half a body between him and Kobe.

Lin Sen, who had just missed what he thought he was going to score, looked at the basket and chose to jump again.

"Wood chose to take off, and it was another typical Wood-style shot! Is there one this time? "Bill. Wharton shouted, his eyes fixed on the jumping Linsen.

Lin Sen still didn't hesitate, jumped up directly, and didn't even make too many adjustments to shoot directly, in order to avoid Kobe's block, Lin Sen increased the arc.

The feeling of this shot still makes Lin Sen feel good, but the same is true for the last shot, and Lin Sen is also a little worried.

Watching the ball arc in the air landed, the ball fell straight to the basket.

Swish!

As the ball drilled into the basket, Lin Sen roared.

"Wood, Wood did it, he hit a key three-pointer with a huge hit, and he was just one point away, just one point away! Wood. Wood has a super big heart! "Bill. Wharton yelled.

Lin Sen on the field clenched his fists. Rapid retreat.

This goal also gave the Magic a renewed hope. Linson's attack this time only consumed four seconds, and at this time, there were twenty-seven seconds left before the end of the game.

Even if the Lakers adopt a strategy that consumes 24 seconds of offensive time, the Magic can still have an offensive opportunity, and the team has a short timeout just enough to give the Magic a chance to serve in the frontcourt, and they are starting to look forward to it.

Phil. Jackson called a timeout, and the next 24 seconds are important for the Lakers, not to make turnovers, and to use up 24 seconds as much as possible even if they don't shoot.

The magic side is in the process of finishing the worst of the way. 110:111 Magic were only one point behind, but time was too important for them.

Honk!

With a whistle, the referee began to blow for the players of both sides to come on, and everyone held their breath for the last 25 seconds.

Daktronics. Milicic stands in Paul. Gasol held his arms high in front of him to interfere with Gasol's serve, and the rest of them clinged to their defenders one by one.

For a while, the Lakers' serve stalled, and the Lakers had no timeout, and they were about to violate the five-second serve, and the old fish Fisher actually ran out of position, and Gasol immediately threw the ball over.

Fisher controlled the ball steadily under the interference, advanced to the front court, stopped two steps outside the three-point line, and dribbled steadily to waste time.

Billups couldn't resist the foul tactic when the clock came within ten seconds. Bryant sped up to Fisher, and Linson chased after him. Bryant still received the ball.

The clock was on the edge of twenty-four seconds when Bryant forced a jump and made a difficult three-point shot from a step-back.

"Bryant shot!" Bill. Wharton stood up, and the Lakers fans all over the court were expecting a goal, but Kobe Bryant missed the shot this time, and the ball smashed into the basket and bounced.

Daktronics. Milicic took the lead in protecting the rebound and immediately called a timeout, and the time was fixed at 1.6 seconds.

"There are only 1.6 seconds left in the game, and Orlando has to take a shot to catch the ball."

'There's a lot of pressure on L.A. to defend well and if they get scored by Orlando then they're going to fail. Bill. Wharton said.

"Only Wood and Chauncey are left on the outside, Dacko you and Dwight are on the inside, preparing for the empty receiving tactics, Ron you are responsible for serving the boundary ball on the inside and have the opportunity to go inside, but their Paul and Lamar on the inside line are here, and the air connection is estimated to be unlikely, but once there is a chance, don't hesitate, you and Chauncy on the outside line prepare for Wood, and give Wood as much as possible!" Stan. Van Gundy said quickly.

In 1.6 seconds, he could only catch the ball and shoot, and the rapid whistle blew to urge the Magic players and Lakers players to come on the court.

Phil. Jackson sees Dwight. Howard and Darko. Milicic was full of confidence, although they were two big men who could jump, but Paul. Gasol and Lamar. Odom's height is not afraid of him in that empty space, the only thing he is worried about is Lin Sen, Lin Sen's shooting ability he knows, and he is also worried about Lin Sen's big heart.

1.6 seconds is enough time to shoot, Phil. Jackson's gaze fell on Lin Sen.

Daktronics. Milicic stood outside the front boundary, and Dwight was left behind. Howard and Darko. Milicic stood at 45 degrees from a left and a right, while Linson and Billups were close together.

The referee blew the whistle to signal Darko. Milicic serves.

Kobe Bryant clings to Linson, as long as he holds 1.6 Lakers, he can win, for Kobe, he will never allow others to destroy his victory, no one, not even God.

"I've got to get out."

Deep in his heart, Lin Sen roared, and pushed Kobe Bryant with his left hand in concealment, and the Lakers' defense line is two layers of outside and inside, and the inside air defense is connected to the outside defense of three points, if you run to the three-point line, it is tantamount to a sheep into the tiger's mouth, so Lin Sen made a bold decision, that is, not to run to the three-point line but to continue to pull outward to do it, after the elbow force concealed the collision, Lin Sen immediately ran out.

Wood shook Bryant off and he ......... I ran to the middle circle. Hoffman shouted, almost everyone had the same idea.

Kobe, who was in pain, failed to catch up with Lin Sen.

"Keep an eye on him!" Bryant shouted and watched Lin Sen run farther away.

"Ball!"

Lin Sen raised his arms and shouted, Darko. Milicic hesitated and passed the ball over.

When he received the ball, Lin Sen was three meters away from the three-point point, which is equivalent to more than 12 meters away from the basket, and 1.6 seconds allowed him to make any adjustments, and Lin Sen jumped up and pushed the ball out.

Just as the basketball flew into the air, the rebound turned red, and if you don't score, you won, and if you don't score, you lose, this push almost used up all of Lin Sen's strength.

Such a long-distance shot can only choose the way of pushing, watching the basketball leave the palm of his hand, Lin Sen's strength seems to be exhausted at once.

The orange basketball flying over the Staples Center seemed to be the focus of attention of the entire world at this moment.

The noisy Staples Center was mostly a shout of in, with only a small percentage of Lakers fans clamoring for basketball not to score.

With the gaze of countless people, the basketball trembled and flew to the basket, and looked at the trajectory, and the rebound, which had already turned red, became the perfect background color.

The basketball's arc caused Lakers fans to close their eyes, and the Staples Center fell silent as the screeching sound of wiping the net sounded.

Lin Sen lowered his head and raised his arms high, no roaring or trash talk, just standing quietly, his teammates couldn't bear to disturb Lin Sen, standing not far from Lin Sen, as if worshipping a hero.

Phil. A hint of helplessness flashed in Jackson's small eyes. Van Gundy's suit was wrinkled with excited punches.

Kobe's proud eyes dimmed for a while and then became proud again.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, Wood, Wood works wonders!" (To be continued......)
