Chapter 172: Do you remember the regular season, you want to force me to get serious?

David Stern was also on hand today.

It's just that Lakers fans don't want to see him.

His arrival means that the O'Brien Cup is also here.

If the O'Brien Cup were to appear in the middle of the stadium at Staples Arena tonight, it would undoubtedly be the last thing Los Angeles fans wanted.

Boos erupted.

David Stern smiled a little brighter than usual.

David Stockholm Syndrome - Stern is a real hammer.

It's no wonder he laughs like this.

The ratings of this year's finals exploded, and although "23" was replaced, the script of "23vs24" still sold out.

The ratings of the last game were the highest in the finals in 10 years, and the ratings of the sixth game of "God's Last Dance" in '98 surpassed this one.

This rebound really relieved David Stern.

In 04, the Lakers' "F4" was upset by the Pistons' "civilian" Five Tigers, and then the ratings of the NBA Finals fell again and again. Whether it is "Super God Wade" in 06 or the first trip to the finals of "The Chosen Son" in 07, the ratings are basically high and low.

It wasn't until last year's "Hukai War" script that it was saved the ratings of the finals.

However, even last year's "Hukai War" was slightly less popular than this year's finals.

If the ratings of the 08 finals are high, then the ratings of this year's finals are high.

This can be seen from the degree of discussion on the Internet......

Recently, the NBA Finals on the American network can be regarded as a grand event in the sports industry.

Sure enough, you still have to have a strong gimmick to capture the hearts of fans!

David Stern has once again tasted the sweetness of creating topics.

Judging by the results of this season, of course......

The script is important, and so is the selection of people!

LeBron James almost made this script collapse halfway, but fortunately, Li Wan took up the "No. 23" actor and staged a revenge drama!

Once he wins, then this year's finals will definitely surprise a large number of fans!

What is the "timeless cool male protagonist"!

Particularly......

David Stern turned his head to look at the more than 19,000 fans in Staples, and then turned his attention to Leewan, who was warming up on the field.

In particular, once Li Wan succeeds in revenge, he will still be on the opponent's home court, in front of the 20,000 Lakers diehard fans!

This......

Shhh

David Stern forced himself to stop his divergent thoughts.

He hasn't been so excited since Michael Jordan's "God's Last Dance"!

This is destined to be the best script in 11 years!

Because, standing opposite Li Wan......

He is currently the first person in the league, 4-time champion, 2-time regular season MVP, and 1-time Finals MVP winner Kobe Bryant!

The old man originally prepared a "stepping stone" for LeBron, but he didn't expect it to be used by Li Wan in the end!

Is......

I didn't expect it!

Of course, from David Stern's point of view, whether it is LeBron or Leewan, just use it, and it will not be in vain for him to stabilize Kobe's "godhead".

It's not that David Stern hates Kobe.

It's just that something happened in the summer of '04, and Kobe Bryant was not destined to become the face of the league.

After "81 minutes of dragon slaying night", his popularity rebounded, and he was awesome; The Lakers "came to sign" to get Li Wan, in exchange for such a set of "full-body equipment", and there is also a "superb exercise" in it, count him lucky;

So back to the throne of the first person, David Stern confessed!

But if you continue to praise Kobe, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some organizations, and it will also cause the impact of the NBA brand in the local area......

It is said that David Stern is so eager to push LeBron to the throne that there is a feeling that the time is running out, and this is partly due to this.

Some Los Angeles media reporters at the scene also looked at Li Wan with complicated expressions.

So far, this guy has averaged 26 points, 7.8 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 2.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, shooting 44.5% from the field, 40.2% from three-point range, and 88.7% from the free throw line.

Absolute superstar performance!

What's more, he leads the Magic team with a big score of 3-2 and holds 2 match points.

Such a guy was given up by Los Angeles last year.

Even, after winning the championship in June last year, they naively thought that it was right to send him out!

Li Wan......

Many Los Angeles fans already have a little pain in their eyes.

The picture they don't want to see is gradually becoming a reality,

The result is very painful, and this process is also very painful......

Lakers players walk out of the home hallway.

When Bynum came out, the cheers of the crowd suddenly subsided, and if you listened carefully, you could hear some boos mixed in.

Although Bynum's attitude before the game was very good, his performance in the finals, as well as his subsequent insignificant on-court and off-court behavior, were unacceptable to the Los Angeles people.

Bynum also heard these boos, his expression suddenly became serious, and when he saw Howard on the other side of the team who was giggling and warming up, his eyes were even more indignant.

Naturally, he did not think that his current predicament was because of himself.

In his opinion, it was all because of Howard......

Wait, I'll make you pay!

The flower of sin, growing more and more luxuriant, seems to be waiting for an opportunity to bear fruit.

Kobe Bryant was the last to play.

Like a Jedi, slowly walking to the center of the field, he looked up at the arena, where there were 16 championship flags, as well as ......

Retired jerseys of all Lakers legends.

He stared for a full three seconds, as if praying for something, as if he were longing for something.

When he lowered his head, there was no determination in his eyes.

He didn't high-five Pau Gasol, he didn't high-five anyone, and he didn't look at Lewan on the opposite side as before, the Lakers came to this moment, he reached this second, and all that was left was 2 words:

Fight!

And now, there are only these two words left in his mind!

Everything else, it doesn't matter......

Li Wan glanced to the sidelines, Taylor had just entered, and she sent Li Zi to the airport, who had been in the United States for 11 days, and the vacation was almost over, and he had to go back to prepare for the internship.

Li Wan felt a little pity because of this.

If he loses one less game, he will be able to win the championship in front of Li Zi.

Such a good opportunity to pretend to be compared, just missed......

Ay?

Li Wan suddenly reacted: Wouldn't this girl just leave because she was going to win the championship?

With Li Zi's urine, Li Wan felt that it was very possible.

Taylor shouted "come on" to Li Wan, and she hoped that Li Wan would win tonight.

In addition to wanting to see Li Wan's handsome appearance when he held the cup, he also wanted to live with Li Wan two days earlier in a "two-person world" without shame.

Neither side of the head coach has much to offer.

In the sixth game of the series, there is nothing more to say, all the changes are already on the field.

We've gotten used to each other.

The series starts from the sixth game, and who wins and loses really depends on the live performance.

Howard snatched the first strike for the Magic.

In the boos at the scene, Li Wan held the ball across the half court.

Directly shouted Lewis's block.

In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith watched the Magic's first attack, and was a little surprised, this is a big move when it comes up!

However, it was also unexpected.

The Lakers obviously didn't expect the Magic to be so strong tonight.

Pau Gasol was in a bit of a hurry.

Seeing this, Li Wan carried it to the basket and killed it.

It's another "raise fire to the sky" pose, Bynum didn't think about it this time, so he made up for it.

With his reputation on the outside right now, he has to show his positivity.

As soon as he came out, Li Wan immediately gave it to the basket from the top of his head. - This is the benefit of the "fire to the sky" style, holding the ball with one hand, changing moves at any time, disadvantages: people with small hands can't use it!

Howard grabbed the ball and jumped up for a slam dunk.

2-0!

In the sixth game of the finals, the connection between the Orlando "OK" combination opened up the game for the game.

"Wuhu!"

Howard yelled at Bynum.

This is what he did on purpose.

In the second half of the last game, he was so happy against Pau Gasol, in order to find this happiness again, he had already thought about it, trying to provoke Bynum, so that he couldn't help but move, and was ejected by the referee as soon as possible, so that he could live a "two-person life" with Pau Gasol under the basket.

Therefore, he did everything he could to provoke everything.

It's just that Bynum's flat reaction made him a little unexpected.

Ay?

Impossible!

This guy is not such a calm person.

After thinking about it carefully, Howard remembered the key point and spoke again: "Even Los Angeles thinks you're not as good as Kwamay, man, you shouldn't have burned less newspapers yesterday, right?" ”

He remembered that the day before yesterday, Bynum had become even more impatient after hearing him say, "You are not as good as Kwame."

Results......

This guy's reaction is still very flat, trying to get stuck under the basket, but he doesn't match.

Howard felt even more strange now.

That's not right!

It shouldn't be like this!

"Warcraft" is puzzled.

What he didn't know was that Bynum looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was already overturning the river and the sea, and he wanted to hammer him to death.

Wait!

I'm definitely not going to let you have a good time!

Bynum was angry, and he believed that the consequences would be severe!

Kobe Bryant got the ball at this time, facing Raja Bell, the wing pulled up and shot, and the arc of the three-point shot was not bad, but it hit the side edge of the basket and bounced out.

Bynum confronted Howard and secretly elbowed.

Unexpectedly, Howard thought the same way.

Elbows touched, and Howard touched Bynum's numbness.

Then I saw that there was suddenly a man under the basket who was "crazy swinging hands", and watched Howard and Pau Gasol fight together in pain.

This time Pau Gasol got the ball first, twisted a hook hand, attacked twice, and successfully completed the goal.

2-2 draw!

The scene burst into cheers.

But when the live screen was given to Bynum, they showed disgusted expressions again.

In a close-up, you can see ......

Bynum's eyes glistened with tears.

It really made him uncomfortable when he encountered the numbness.

But in the eyes of Lakers fans, this is not enough to hold Howard to tears.

This is a "soft egg"!

Bynum heard someone in the audience on the sidelines scolding him for being a soft egg, and this account was counted on Howard's head by him.

The Magic team continued to play "Li Liu" to block and dismantle.

This time, Lewis was very quick to pick up the ball, and Pau Gasol had just made a save when the ball flew out of his hands.

The ball falls into the frame in response.

It's very crisp.

The score is 5-2!

Sure enough!

I am Li Wan's "Pippen"!

Lewis was even more convinced that he was right...... He and Li Wan have a bright tomorrow.

Kenny Smith looked at Pau Gasol behind his hair, smacked his lips and said, "This can't work, we have to find someone to share the defensive pressure of Pau Gasol!" ”

It's clear now that Lewis can get to the three-point line and Pau Gasol is at best delayed to the high post and the free-throw line.

"Odom has to go up!"

Phil Handy also noticed Pau Gasol's embarrassment on the defensive end.

Lewis is really disgusting!

Such a tall man doesn't hit the basket and shoots three-pointers from the outside......

Are you worthy of your height?

"Huh!"

on the field.

Pau Gasol, who was a little uncomfortable on the defensive end, continued to work on the offensive end, this time running to the high post to receive a pass that Kobe Bryant almost missed, and then rushed to the basket to complete the score.

He scored four points in a row, which is of course a good thing.

But Kobe Bryant's state tonight is a little worried.

In addition to the CCTV-5 channel, Director Zhang believes that Kobe Bryant's iron is "that opportunity has come out, but it didn't go in, it's a pity", and the passing almost missed is "Pau Gasol didn't complete the response in time"......

Others, more or less, could sense a little impatience in Kobe Bryant tonight.

He was anxious to establish an advantage in the opening frame.

Fortunately, after Pau Gasol made two consecutive saves and wiped his buttocks, Kobe's whole mood seemed to have stabilized a little and he was no longer so head-ironed.

He seemed to remember, and next to him was Pau Gasol, who he considered his best comrade-in-arms.

This is a man who can give him security......

Even if all the teammates are not worthy of trust......

He is still a trustworthy comrade-in-arms!

Phil Jackson also made a timely adjustment, bringing Odom on the court and replacing Ariza. - Odom's mobility is better than Pau Gasol's, and when he blocks Lewan and Lewis, Pau Gasol is standing in the elbow area and waiting, so that he can either immediately pounce in front of Tekoglu, who he needs to defend, or go back to the basket to help Bynum deal with Howard.

Although it can't be a perfect change of defense every time, in terms of effect, it is indeed much better than using Pau Gasol to chase down Lewis before.

Tekoglu was a little embarrassed.

In the first three games of the finals, he was the center of the team's ball, but now he is a fringe man.

But he couldn't feel unhappy in his heart......

The first three games of the Finals proved that let him play with the ball, the Magic is not good to win.

In the end, the pressure was all concentrated on Li Wan.

It's different now......

It both unleashed Lewis's firepower and activated Howard's dominance under the basket.

In addition, Li Wan treats him well, and he has no idea of stabbing him in the back at all.

He just felt that while others could more or less do their best, he was reduced to the Lewis he had before, and could only move back and forth from the tactical point outside the three-point line.

I'm a little sorry for Li Wan's concession all the way.

He can only run more aggressively, and it would be good to attract Pau Gasol's attention more.

The state of both sides came up quickly, and the first quarter ended, and the score on both sides was 33-34.

The Magic are temporarily down by 1 point.

Bryant scored 7 points in a single quarter.

Pau Gasol reassured him and slowly adjusted his touch, and it was with his buzzer-beating 3-pointer that the Lakers overtook the one-point difference.

Phil Jackson's brow kept furrowing.

The price of putting Odom on the court early is that the Lakers don't have enough height and strength on the bench.

All right......

Even if there were, it probably wouldn't be of much use......

Stan Van Gundy's point in Game 5 of the series opened the mind, and at the beginning of the second quarter, he once again came up with a lineup of Jason Williams, Crawford and Howard.

"Warcraft" relied on "White Chocolate" to deliver shells during the substitute rotation stage to carry out dimensionality reduction strikes.

Without even two minutes into the second quarter, the Magic overtook the deficit and regained a three-point lead.

Phil Jackson shook his head slightly and could only put the starters back on the court.

The Lakers' starting lineup, except for Odom, has almost all played about 11 minutes.

But the game started in less than 14 minutes......

On the Magic side, Howard has played the most minutes, currently playing 12 minutes.

Everyone else is in their early 10s.

Don't look at the extra 1 minute of play, just tonight's fierce confrontation, really 5 more seconds of rest, it's a luxury.

At 4 minutes and 15 seconds in the second quarter, Stan Van Gundy took the initiative to make a substitution when the team continued to lead by 3 points, putting Howard, who had played 2 more minutes, off the court and pulling Kwame Brown to take the time.

When Kwame came up, the whole atmosphere of Staples Arena changed.

Phil Jackson's eyes narrowed slightly;

Bryant's eyes became sharp;

All the Angelenos at the scene also unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Bynum was crushed by Howard tonight.

"Warcraft" currently has 7 points and 5 rebounds, Bynum is currently shooting 0 of 3, relying on free throws to get 1 point, in addition to 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 0 blocks, but he has 2 turnovers.

The gap in data is already huge.

Not to mention the performance.

Bynum and Howard are really, one underground, one in heaven.

Now Howard has gone down to rest,

When he finishes resting and runs up with more physical energy, what else will the Lakers play?

So......

During this time, whether the Lakers can erase the point difference, or even overtake the score, will become a very critical matter!

Kwame Brown came on and Bynum's eyes became gloomy.

The two people he hates the most right now are Howard and the other is naturally Kwame Brown.

Dare I say I'm not as good as Kwame Brown, aren't I?

Then let's see, who is inferior to whom!

As soon as he came up, he was entangled with Kwame Brown.

The fierce confrontation is like a beast biting.

He's fierce, but Kwame Brown isn't at all.

Not only was he not afraid, but he didn't take Bynum seriously at all.

In the confrontation, Bynum looked at him, but he looked at Pau Gasol.

"Bang dang!"

The ball hit the rebound.

Nelson Jr.'s catch-and-shoot was interfered with by Leewan.

But under the basket......

Pau Gasol and Bynum formed a sandwich trend.

"Sister-in-law" snatched the ball and successfully completed the second attack.

Kwame Brown is really a little worse in terms of his ability to grab the boards.

Especially against the Lakers' "Twin Towers".

It's even more inferior.

However, in Bynum's view, it is not the work of the two men, but that he alone has prevented Kwame Brown.

Therefore, he roared very domineeringly: "Ho! ”

Look at me!

What a man!

Do you dare to say that I'm not as good as Kwame Brown?

Well?

He also deliberately glanced at the audience on the sidelines.

The person who had just called him a "soft egg" was cheering loudly.

Scold~

Fence-sitter!

There is still 1 point left in the difference.

As soon as Howard saw that he was off, the situation on the court immediately changed, and his ass jumped up as if it was on fire. Glancing anxiously at Stan Van Gundy.

"Coach Anthy" also frowned a little.

The gap is a bit big!

Li Wan also secretly muttered in his heart.

The gap between Kwame Brown and Howard at the peak is a little bigger than he thought.

He only thought about this guy's top defense ability, but ignored Howard's ability to grab rebounds as the No. 1 in the league......

"The Magic have to make sure they're efficient on the scoring end...... "or put Howard back on the court." ”

Li Wan holds the ball to face Kobe.

After blocking Lewis, he went to the basket.

Kwame Brown against Bynum.

After turning around and hitting the board, he easily dried the ball into the basket.

During the whole process, except for the confrontation at the beginning, Bynum exerted his strength, and the rest of the whole set of actions, Bynum did not keep up.

Kwame Brown's turn was a bit of a surprise.

It also made the Lakers fans at the scene look surprised.

“fxxk you!”

Habitually shouted, Kwame Brown returned to the defense.

Do you think that after a season against Howard, only Howard's top defense ability has improved?

Similarly, Kwame Brown is also a lot more proficient at turning and playing the board under the basket.

After all, that's what Howard does best.

Under the influence of ears and eyes, the eyes will know, and the hands themselves will also know, not to mention that it is not very complicated, but after all, it is a move that Kwame Brown did not know before.

No one knows that Kwame Brown has such a small move.

Bynum didn't know either.

Boos rang out from the sidelines.

It's all for Bynum.

Look at you, the single defense under the basket, let a former substitute score the ball so easily, really, don't even want your face!

Bynum's expression became ugly again amid the boos of the audience.

Howard shouted at this time: "I knew that you were no match for Kwame!" ”

"You reacted like a clown just now!"

Bynum heard this, and as if in a stress reaction, he turned his head to look at Howard with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

The flower of sin bears fruit......

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer and officially equalized the score difference.

With this goal, he has now managed to score three times in a row.

There were also loud cheers at the scene.

As long as Kobe Bryant's state is up, then anything can happen!

However, the Magic team also responded again.

Or Li Wan and Lewis's blocking.

The ball went to Kwame Brown under the basket, but unfortunately it didn't go this time.

But......

"Smack!"

Turkoglou, who has never had a sense of presence, actually rushed to grab the rebound and hit the board smoothly to complete the goal.

“yes!”

Tekoglu clenched his fists hard.

Even if the effect of holding the ball is no longer playing, he has his own way to help the team......

Because, everyone is working hard!

On the Lakers' side, Pau Gasol scored another goal, to say that this guy's condition is really good, plus Odom helped to supplement the outside line, and the physical energy he consumed on the defensive end came down at once.

can be better invested on the offensive end, and with Howard not on the court during this time, Pau Gasol plays very strong and full of presence.

It was also Pau Gasol's containment that allowed Kobe Bryant to regain his touch from his struggle.

Pau Gasol, it's good to have you in Los Angeles!

However, the Magic also responded as best they could, and still had a one-point lead before Howard came on.

And after Howard came on the court, they immediately extended the margin to 5 points.

It's not that Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol don't give up, they continue to output, but the disadvantage of the "three highs" being present at the same time is undoubtedly revealed at this time.

With Bynum, Pau Gasol and Odom in need of a physical break, the Lakers' interior strength has weakened all of a sudden.

At the end of the first half, the Magic were 58-50 and had a smooth eight-point lead.

Oh yes!

Bryant cursed as he walked through the home team's tunnel to the locker room.

He scored a total of 15 points in the first half, the highest on the Lakers' side.

Pau Gasol's score also came to 12 points.

The two combined for 27 points, accounting for more than half of the Lakers, but the Lakers still trailed by 8 points......

The feeling of being powerless is really uncomfortable!

"The Lakers have to step up one more person, or they will definitely lose this game!" Kenny Smith glanced at the Lakers' roster, trying to find someone who could help Kobe Bryant and Gasol......

Wood has.

Bynum is also a good opponent of Kwame Brown's ability, and occasionally has to be stolen by an opponent.

Odom, on the other hand, has a problem with playing too long, and he will lose concentration and his efficiency will plummet.

The rest ......

Ariza is not in the starting lineup, and he is a waste.

Nelson Jr. will also be able to blow up with Crawford.

"From this point of view, the Magic team's lineup this year is really deep! And they can complement each other......"

What a perfect match!

This is naturally due to Stan Van Gundy.

Well......

They thought that the Magic team had all these changes in formation in Stan Van Gundy's mind.

I didn't know that from the 4th game of the finals, Stan Van Gundy gradually became "Di Renjie".

Barkley, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Actually, if Howard is not on the court, the Lakers can still play......"

Like him, there is also the Lakers' coaching staff.

But the question now is, how can we get Howard to sit off the court for a while longer?

Although his foul count reached 3, there were still 2 quarters left in the game, and at least he had to eat 2 fouls in a quarter to force him off.

Specifically targeting Howard and rushing inside......

It's not an efficient thing to think about.

Then ......

"Hacking sharks"?

Phil Jackson's mind suddenly flashed such a professional term.

So, in the second half, he used this trick.

The effect was still good, Howard was cut 5 "knives", 10 free throws, and only hit 2 balls.

They also managed to tie the score.

It's just that......

They can't continue to "cut" any longer.

The fierce confrontation in the first half made the number of fouls committed by the Lakers' starting team not very generous, and if they "cut" it again, there may be a foul crisis.

The Lakers have too few people available, and with five games played, Phil Jackson knows very well that the only people who can face off against the Magic are the five people currently on the court.

One less......

No, it doesn't work!

Of course, the most critical thing is that the Lakers "cut" 5 times in a row, and their offensive rhythm was "cut", and Phil Jackson saw the consequences and hurriedly called a halt and resumed the normal offensive and defensive rhythm.

Anyway, the effect is already out.

The score difference is tied!

Phil Jackson understands the truth of taking what you see.

"Phew!"

It was just the next goal, and he suddenly felt that he had received it too early.

Li Wan gave the ball to Howard under the basket after blocking and dismantling, and the depressed "Warcraft" who was "chopped" took the goal of this round to vent and dunked one on the top of Bynum's head.

The ball fell straight out of the basket and landed on Bynum's head.

Howard was still angry, and scolded him: "You can only rely on those indiscriminate means to deal with me, you bitch who is not as good as Kwame!" ”

Just now the Lakers' 5 "knives", Bynum alone contributed 2 "knives".

Naturally, he became the person he hated the most in Howard's eyes.

The ball smashed Bynum's head and made Bynum's head hurt, and Howard's words made Bynum's heart hurt.

He fell into darkness completely.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack.

Bynum's confrontation with Howard was stronger than ever, and there was a desperate hatred in his eyes. It seems that in the next round, it is not only a matter of victory or defeat, but also life and death.

It's a pity that in the eyes of peak Howard, there is only "Yao Shark", and others can't really tie him up when they fight against him.

Not to mention the "Warcraft" that is still strengthened by Kwame Brown.

"Phew!"

Another confrontation, Howard's force, and at the same time an elbow towards Bynum's side.

This elbow hurt so much that Bynum was about to lose his voice, his expression was hideous, and the fruit of the flower of sin fell in his mind, and the petals scattered, and he made a move.

With a fierce face, he pushed hard, and Howard, who was grabbing rebounds with Pau Gasol, didn't expect Bynum to suddenly stop talking about martial arts, and his whole body was unbalanced and almost fell straight to the ground.

Howard's feet stomped on the ground, and then his hands on the ground.

But the moment his foot hit the ground, there was a heart-piercing pain in his ankle, and Howard lost his balance again and stumbled to the ground.

The smile on his face dissipated, and only pain remained.

"Both!"

The referee hurried to blow the whistle.

Bynum glanced at Li Wan for the first time, and then immediately hid away.

He bowed his head weakly.

Li Wan immediately rushed towards Howard, wanting to see what Howard was doing.

In fact, you don't need to look to know that Howard must be injured.

Because......

The second phase of the "Little Prince Against the Melancholy" badge lit up on the badge wall has been lit up, which speaks for the result.

The results of the team doctor's examination did not surprise him.

Howard, supported by two men, walked towards the away aisle.

The eyes of the "Warcraft" were full of unwillingness, and he looked back at the field several times.

"Check in peace, man, I promise you, I will come back with victory!" Li Wan spoke.

Everyone on the Magic team had different expressions, including Howard, who seemed to have forgotten the pain.

Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Here we go again!

Every time a teammate is injured, you will inevitably hear a phrase, and here it comes!

Although they have been slapped in the face many times, they still can't help but question first......

Last time, although the main player was injured, it was Bogans......

It's just an ordinary main force, but because of the lack of people in the second position, it seems that he is irreplaceable, and if he really goes down, it will not have any impact on the offensive system of the Magic team......

But Howard's injury is different!

Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, his departure was a major blow to the Magic.

Stan Van Gundy's expression was grim, and the fans waiting at Amway Arena in front of the TV were not much better. They......

Think a little further!

What if Howard is seriously injured and can't play not only this game, but also the next one?

If the Magic can't win a quarter and a half without Howard, it's even less likely to win in the seventh game of the Finals in the absence of Howard......

In other words, if the Magic team doesn't win tonight, the championship that is close in front of them is likely to miss Orlando again.

"Bynum's action is really too undeserved, it's not an action that should appear on the basketball court!" Kenny Smith sat in the studio and criticized fiercely.

Barkley next to him just shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything.

He knew very well that their criticism would not have any effect, that the fact that Howard was injured would not change because of his criticism, and that the referees would not be able to eject Bynum from the game because of such a move......

A technical foul at most.

Because it's the grand final.

It is impossible to punish unless it is absolutely necessary.

From this point of view, it is understandable why Bynum was sent off and the Los Angeles people reacted so much.

What kind of talent does it have to be to be sent out in the finals?

Sure enough, the referee gave a penalty, Bynum was technically fouled, and the Magic got a chance to make two free throws.

This is the biggest compensation the referee can give to the Magic team.

But everyone knows that it doesn't make up for the Magic.

Li Wan was about to execute the free throw, but he didn't know if he was weak-hearted, the boos on the scene did not get up at the first time, Li Wan turned his head and glanced at Bynum on the free throw waiting line on the right.

"Man, I've always remembered your sentence that the victory fell to Los Angeles, but now it seems that you have changed a lot!"

After Li Wan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Bynum.

One after the other, he hit two free throws in the midst of boos.

The margin was re-extended to 4 points.

Bynum gritted his teeth and cursed secretly: fxxk!

Li Wan's words made him have no confidence to fight back.

It was only at this time that he remembered his former hot-blooded self. He finally felt a trace of guilt in his heart. But it's just a little bit, and it's just a moment.

In the current situation, only winning is the best result for him!

So Howard, it's best to get hurt!

Kwame Brown comes on.

Howard's sudden injury put him on the verge of death.

Therefore, Kwame Brown, who is usually very confident, came on the court this time, and his face was a little more nervous. - He didn't play very well in the first half, and the Magic lost points during that time.

He took a few deep breaths and gave the ball to Li Wan.

Li Wan looked at Kobe Bryant, who had been waiting for him early, and slowly approached.

is not in a hurry to attack, but looks at Kobe:

"Remember the regular season when you tried to make me serious?"

"Black Mamba" raised his eyebrows, his expression was stunned, he originally thought that Li Wan was going to explode something, after all, Bynum's action was deliberate.

I didn't expect it......

That's what he said......

"Now...... Let's take a look! ”

Li Wan said, suddenly speeding up his dribbling rhythm, Kobe Bryant Tongkong shrank slightly, and the familiar sense of offensive pressure hit......

Think back to what Li Wan said......

He suddenly felt iron, old heart.

Huh?

No!

What do you mean by that?

Do you mean that it wasn't until now, when Howard was injured, that you were pushed to the point of seriousness?

Kobe didn't know when to face Li Wan, and this thought had to be self-transformed at every turn.

The sense of superiority generated by Li Wan's effective defense a few days ago is gone.

But this also provoked Kobe's fighting spirit......

He's been waiting for this day for too long since the Olympics!

He wasn't at his best at the Olympics, and he didn't bother to keep his offensive form in order to put more effort into the defensive end.

This is also the reason why he is not convinced by Li Wan!

Right now, it is when he is in the best condition, and he has the confidence to suppress Li Wan!

It's just that......

"Squeak—"

The screeching sound of sneakers scraping against the floor rang out.

After Li Wan dribbled continuously, he suddenly changed direction in front of his body, and his movements were as extreme as he wanted.

Kobe, who was gradually passive, wanted to regain the defensive initiative through steals, but was wiped out by Li Wan step by step, and when Pau Gasol just wanted to defend it, Li Wan had already made a mid-range jump shot.

The ball flew higher and higher in front of him, over his head, and straight into the basket.

Ball in!

Li Wan replied expressionlessly.

His appearance, as well as his extreme movements, made Kobe completely sure.

It is indeed 100% serious Li Wan!

His fighting spirit burned at this moment!

At the same time, there were other members of the Magic team who showed different colors.

If there were doubts just now, now they don't have anything?

Questioned......

Because they have stood on the field twice to witness what Li Wan in this state has done!

In this case, he is the invincible god of war!

As for their gang of horses, just do a good job of wiping their butts......

So Lewis took the lead and shouted:

"Defend! Defend! ”

Kobe Bryant took the ball directly in the backcourt, and after arriving in the frontcourt, he still showed his soldiers and horses, facing Li Wan on the flanks, ready to go heads-up.

There is no doubt that '08 and '09 were Kobe's peak years.

To what extent......

Li Wan, who was on the account of the "God of Basketball", could only watch the ball into the basket in the face of his "step-back jumper".

"Kobe's response, what a ball! This ball is good-looking, Kobe Bryant and Li Wan are against each other, this, this, this is interesting! Director Zhang watched the two people come and go on the field, not letting each other go, and the enthusiasm for the commentary also came to the extreme, dancing with his hands.

Most importantly, both men used "weapons of God."

- Mid-range jumper!

The other two people in the studio didn't speak, just watched intently.

They originally thought that the Magic team would probably lose this game, after all, there was one less Howard, but now, they suddenly felt that maybe now was the beginning of the decisive battle of this game......

There are also other people who are watching this game.

They watched Li Wan once again hold the ball and face Kobe Bryant, and remembered the theme of this finals-

No. 23 vs. No. 24!

Li Wan vs Kobe!

The Ultimate Battle!

It's coming......
