Chapter 551

"With a 15-point difference, tonight's Los Angeles turned the Waterhouse Center into its own turf."

Steve. Cole glanced at Mark. Jackson sighed: "No way, the Lakers played so well tonight, Paul and Bryant in the first half, Bryant in the second half, even if Wood also played well." ”

The number column on the big screen clearly reads 83:68, and the Lakers lead by 15 points on the road.

And Kobe's 32 points made many Magic fans gasp, although Lin Sen also got a good score of 25 points.

"Steve, do you think there's a chance that in the end Los Angeles loses the Finals, and then Bryant takes the Finals MVP with a great performance like Wood did last year?" Mark. Jackson asked with a smile.

"You don't have a zài in this hypothesis." Steve. Kerr shrugged, "No one in San Antonio was particularly good last year, but Orlando was different, unless Wood played badly in the next few games.

But how likely do you think that's going to happen? Even now, something going on off the court could have an impact on him.

But I think a professional athlete should know the difference between being on and off the court, and Wood has done a great job of that since the Progressive League. ”

Stan. Van Gundy was arranging in earnest, and the coaching staff was thinking about how to reverse the unfavorable situation on the field just after being on the field.

The crazy refueling in the center of the opening water house still exists at the moment, but it feels like it has a lot less confidence.

After all, in the first three quarters, the Lakers basically pressed the Magic to play again, and the Magic didn't play very badly, but the opportunity came out but it didn't feel good.

"Ron. The team needs you and Chauncey to play in the second lineup! You two are the main attackers! "Stan. Van Gundy said seriously.

Artest and Battier from the first game to this one. The defense against Kobe Bryant is actually basically in place.

But there was still no way to stop Kobe Bryant's goal. For such a situation Stan. Van Gundy could only accept it, just as he usually felt that the opponent could not prevent Linsen from scoring after defending Linsen.

With a whistle, the fourth quarter officially kicked off.

Compared with the Lakers, a strong bench lineup is the biggest reliance of the Magic.

This is missing Anzu. Bynum's Los Angeles Lakers can't be compared, but the Magic didn't feel good today, and the second team couldn't effectively complete the chase points.

Van Gundy wanted Artest to use force-on-the-box offense to get back into the team's offensive situation, and in doing so, the Magic also gave up on Artest's idea of going on defense as soon as Kobe Bryant came on the court.

"Oh, and Stan just put Ron and Chauncy on the field. The idea of chasing points is very strong, and I don't know if it can be realized, and today the Water House Center is obviously unwilling to admit that the Orlando Magic is its master, and the basket is like putting a lid on them. "Steve. Cole said with a smile.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Artest went straight to the ball.

Radmanovic stood in front of Artest, and this season, especially in the playoffs, Radmanovic is one of the heroes of the Lakers' current play.

The height of 2.08 overshadowed Artest, but Artest withstood Radmanovic with his strong body.

Lin Sen, who was sitting on the bench, did not pay full attention to the field, and the game will return to the main competition sooner or later.

The team's defense against the Lakers offense tonight was really bad, and although the interior defense was much better in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant couldn't defend it very well.

The second is that the team struggles on the offensive end. No matter how you shoot, it doesn't seem to be the same, especially mid-to-long-range shots.

It's not easy to win a game without a shot. Now it is imperative to put the ball in the basket, otherwise it is impossible to win the game on the back.

Artest, on the court, squeezed in hard and sent the ball to the basket under Powell's defense, but the ball slipped out of a joke with Artest.

"Oh, Orlando's luck tonight is so bad that the basket is not only like a lid, it's more like a layer of Vaseline on it."

"Vaseline? Why did I think of something that I shouldn't have thought about. "Mark. Jackson had a look of meanness.

Artest waved his hand in annoyance, and Lin Sen looked at Artest on the field and frowned.

The team didn't feel good tonight and then there were some goals that could have been scored and didn't make it to the basket, which changed the mentality a little bit.

After the change of mentality, it will naturally affect the feeling of shooting, which may form a vicious circle.

The game still continued, and the Lakers' offensive end without Kobe and Gasol was not good.

On the defensive end, Artest stole Radmanovic's one-handed fast break and made the screams in the center of the water house much louder.

"Stan should be thankful to Ron and Chauncey, they're trying to get to within 10 points, even though the process doesn't seem easy at the moment." Steve. Cole said as he looked at Artest and Billups as they walked to the sidelines.

At this moment, four minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lakers have replaced Odom, and now Phil. Jackson was the first to call a timeout.

The Lakers lead the Magic by 11 points at 91-80, and as long as they narrow the margin to single digits, the hope will increase a lot.

10 points is a hurdle on the basketball court, and after crossing this hurdle, then there is a six-point hurdle, as long as you continue to cross it, then you will return to the same platform.

Phil. Jackson doesn't want the Magic and Lakers back to the same starting line, and Stan. Van Gundy is the opposite.

"I don't know if Wood and Bryant will play early, there are less than eight minutes left, and it's about the same to play early, but Ron should have to rest for a while, and it's not realistic for him to play the full fourth quarter." Mark. Jackson said.

Lin Sen glanced at the Lakers bench on the other side of the technical table, and happened to meet Kobe's gaze.

Kobe Bryant didn't have a smile on his face, and glanced at Lin Sen with a grim look and then turned his head away.

Lin Sen smiled, he had already thought of the way to go on the court, although it was not easy to implement.

"Toot!"

A whistle blew, and the referee on duty, Bavita, motioned for the players from both sides to return to the field.

"The two protagonists, Wood and Bryant, are finally back on the field, and I'm looking forward to it the most. Oh no. The backcourt matchup, the most anticipated by basketball fans around the world, is about to take place.

Wood has had a lot of reversals. He couldn't do it today, but I knew Bryant didn't want that to happen. ”

Steve. Cole's voice fell, and Bryant took Odom's serve.

Battier, who replaced Kobe Bryant, stood in front of Kobe, and he and Artest have different defensive styles.

The Magic coaching staff pinned their hopes on two styles of defense to interfere with Kobe's offense, but the game didn't work out very well so far.

Boom!

Lin Sen saw Gasol pull to the high post and immediately prepared to switch positions, as Lin Sen expected, Kobe and Gasol wanted to do a blocking and pick-and-roll match.

When Kobe Bryant wanted to shake off Battier, Linson immediately replaced him.

Battier did not blindly chase and defend, but directly switched positions with Linsen.

Bang!

Lin Sen's chest collided with Kobe's side. But Lin Sen's control zhì was very good, and he kept his arms held high, and there was no state of tilting.

Immediately after the impact, they separated to avoid being blown by the referee, and Kobe Bryant was also affected by Linson, and his movements slowed down a little.

It was a great defensive opportunity for Linson, who slammed the ball with his left hand.

Take a horizontal step directly to the right, and then the whole person jumps straight up.

When Lin Sen reacted, he was still a beat slower.

"Bryant and Wood's encounter, Wood loses! With a 14-point deficit, Bryant told Sù Wood with a fiery touch that he wanted to win the game. "Mark. Jackson looked at Lin Sen's Kobe Bryant who was coldly staring at him on the court and said.

Lin Sen ignored Bryant's provocation. Turned around and walked to the bottom line.

After half the court with the ball, Lin Sen saw Kobe.

After the center circle, he was three or four steps away from the three-point line, and Bryant moved. And Lin Sen also increased the frequency of dribbling.

Looking at Kobe Bryant, who was approaching, Lin Sen stared at Kobe Bryant as if he was staring at his prey.

Lin Sen's eyes made Kobe very unhappy, and he opened his arms and chest, exuding a cold momentum all over his body.

Kobe pressed tentatively, he knew that it was unrealistic to cut off Linson's ball, he just wanted to slightly disrupt Linson's rhythm, and that was his purpose.

However, he also knew that it would not be easy to interrupt Linsen's dribbling rhythm.

As Bryant himself thought, for Linson, such a tentative steal would not have any distraction at all.

Lin Sen easily let go of his body, and at the same time took advantage of the situation to lower the center of gravity of his body.

Syllable!

Slap the ball hard and lean your shoulder.

The body moved forward instantly, and with a flick of the wrist of the right hand, the ball immediately left the right hand.

After close contact with the floor, it bounced to his left hand, and the moment the ball touched his left hand, Linsen's foot moved with it.

Bryant made a quick judgment and moved his body quickly, thus trying to block the space for Lin Sen's breakthrough.

But Kobe didn't dare to be careless, he knew Lin Sen's strength and didn't think that he could block this guy's attack so easily.

Lin Sen forcibly stopped the body momentum, but instead leaned on Kobe's body reflexively, and the moment the two collided, Kobe felt the huge progress of Lin Sen's strength.

Although he didn't completely knock Kobe Bryant, that moment was precious to Lin Sen.

For this opportunity, Lin Sen did not let go and stepped out.

Yikes!

There was a piercing grinding sound, and in the next second, Lin Sen had already turned to the other side of Kobe.

"Clean, Wood, Wood shook off Bryant!"

Kobe Bryant was very tenacious in moving, but at this time, Lin Sen actually pulled back horizontally.

In the face of Lin Sen's sudden movements, Kobe Bryant subconsciously moved to the right side in response, but his body failed to keep up.

The whole person stumbled, Lin Sen glanced at Kobe Bryant and jumped up directly.

Bryant held the ground with his left hand awkwardly in front of him, glanced at Linson and threw the ball. (To be continued......)
