293. We are champions! (12,000 words)

Maddie's style of play tonight was more aggressive than the last one, but unlike the last game, he was stimulated, and this time he calmed down.

Over the past two days, Maddie and Duncan have been discussing how to adjust and see if they can come up with something new.

The two actually thought of a lot of ways to play a real advantage, but they couldn't use it.

The strongest teammate, Mike Miller, only has the strength of the third person on the opposite lineback, and the sixth man, Armstrong, a pure regular-season player, has a similar role in the playoffs as Boykins, who has no chance to play.

Based on the actual situation of their own team, the two discussed for a long time, and the more they discussed, the more bitter they became, and finally they suddenly became enlightened.

In the face of the Nets, the two of them can win by adaptation, because the two of them can take it out casually, don't fight their brains, only compare their personal ability, and they don't lose to Kidd and beat all the other players on the other side.

But in the face of the Clippers, how to respond is an unsolvable problem for them, the overall strength of the core lineup on the opposite side is not too much inferior to the two of them, and the role player lineup beats them, and it is unchangeable!

I didn't expect that the head coach who was useless on the field was really right this time!

Fighting for the dual core and minimizing the defect that the strength of the role players is too weak is the most suitable style of play for them, and only if they play better can they win.

In that case, keep banging! Do your best to get the most out of your firepower!

It was another difficult goal, which was received by the opponent, but the Clippers players were not in a hurry.

For them, as long as it can make it more difficult for Maddie and Duncan to shoot, this is their strategy in the early stages of the game, as in the first two games.

They didn't think about how to deal with it on their two days off, they kept winning what to do, and winning the victory steadily was the right way.

Maddie and Duncan are soaring, can they still turn the sky upside down?

When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao received the ball and turned directly to shoot, was fouled by Mike Miller, and went to the free throw line to make one of two free throws.

Duncan is gentle in most fouls, but he plays hard when he hits, which was learned by brothers Maddie and Mike Miller.

The Magic team attacked, Maddy and Duncan launched a blocking attack, and Li Ao chased around the pile and interfered with Maddie's direct shooting after blocking and dismantling.

Maddie didn't continue to make a strong shot and split the ball to the left side.

Duncan had just come to the left side of the free-throw line to receive the ball, and Matt Halprin was the first to defend in front of Duncan.

Jordan and Matt Hardlin, two small forwards, are paired up frontcourt, faster than most serious forward combinations, and they don't lose to those guys, and that's what makes the Clippers strong on the defensive end this season.

Duncan caught the ball and steadied himself before confronting Matt Halprin and turning right.

The turn may seem clumsy, but it's not slow at all, just right to avoid Matt Hardling's hand-to-hand combat, and it's at a 45-degree angle!

Hit the board ...... Hit!

A hint of shock flashed in Jordan's eyes on the inside, but the action did not stop, picking up the ball and serving.

Duncan just took apart the ball and turned around to shoot, which was Malone's trick!

It looks completely different, Malone's turnaround mid-range shooting is rough and swift, and the movement of those two iron arms alone can intimidate most of the wing defenders.

Duncan's turning mid-range shot is very simple, seemingly clumsy but not slow at all, there is no excess consumption, the ball has been lifted in the process of turning, and the turn is fast enough to shoot directly, and the overall shooting speed and stability are comparable to Malone.

Under the weight of the Finals, the TT combination has become even better, and not only Maddie has developed a pick-and-roll offense in the Eastern Finals, which has improved a lot, but Duncan has also improved, increasing the offensive means of blocking and receiving the ball!

When it came to the Clippers' offense, Jordan singled Maddy, and showed the genuine Joe's shoulder, Maddy was also deceived, and Jordan turned to the free throw line and shot.

Switching offense and defense, Maddie and Duncan launched a pick-and-roll attack.

Jordan went up, Li Ao chased around the pile, Matt Hardlin returned to the front of the dismantled Duncan to go around, and the Clippers became more and more skilled in defending against the two blocks.

Duncan judged Matt Halprin's defensive intentions, dismantled the space and pulled Matt Halplin into the interior.

The experienced Jordan immediately contracted after Li Ao stuck to Maddie, and blocked Duncan as soon as Duncan received Maddy's ball, sticking to the ball, and Matt Harprin chased the defense in place to complete the pinch with Jordan.

The sandwich of the two small forwards who are stronger than most big forwards is thanks to Duncan's first time lifting the ball after being held by Jordan, so that he was not stealed.

Duncan immediately split the ball after settling his body, and Mike Miller received the ball on the right sideline and jumped......

Jordan and Matt Halprin couldn't complete the break, but they gave Li Ao a chance to move, and Mike Miller just jumped up when he saw Li Ao pounce.

Li Ao rushed up like this, the jump height was not enough, but his hands with a super long arm span were enough to cap.

Throwing the ball at Maddie in a hurry? No! Mike Miller leaned back in the air and threw the ball just right to avoid Lee's block.

The ball draws a beautiful arc and falls into the frame!

The Magic scored 4 goals in a row to lead the Clippers 10-5!

Mike Miller only cared about controlling the stability of the shot, after the ball was thrown, his body couldn't control it, and seeing that he was about to fall sideways, Li Ao, who flew up and landed first, hugged his waist and protected it...... Then he let go and let Mike Miller fall to the ground.

However, the force of losing balance and falling in front of him has been unloaded by Li Ao, and this fart Mike Miller doesn't even hurt.

Seeing Li Ao immediately running towards the frontcourt, Mike Miller quickly got up and ran over.

This picture made the chests of more than 17,000 Magic fans at the scene feel sullen - their own players scored goals, and the other party also protected their own players, but why did they feel so angry?

However, they still gave Li Ao a round of applause and shouted "Spider-Man" twice to express their gratitude, and when Li Ao ran past half the court, the fans' shouts turned into "defense" again.

Li Ao and Jordan reached the three-point line at the same time, the two looked at each other, Jordan ran to the left side of the three-second zone to open up space, and Li Ao took Mike Miller to the right side of the free throw line.

Jordan is no longer the main offense, and although he is sure to play Maddie now, it doesn't mean much.

Although Maddie can't prevent Jordan, it can make Jordan have to do more pre-shot feints to consume Jordan's more physical strength, but Jordan's singles, Maddie doesn't consume much to defend.

Maddie's physical advantage is too great, in addition to the lack of strength, speed, flexibility, bounce, height and arm span are better, plus he has studied with Duncan for two years, and knows how to minimize consumption in defense to prolong the time to maintain the state, there is no way to prevent Li Ao, you must follow, but prevent Jordan, anyway, no one can prevent Jordan as long as his physical strength is good, Maddie only needs to use his height, arm span and reaction speed to give Jordan the greatest interference.

Jordan is experienced, saw through Maddie's idea at a glance, and decisively gave up the singles and let the big spider chisel, that guy hit Mike Miller, much easier than he beat Maddie.

To be precise, Li Ao's singles Mike Miller is the most relaxed among several singles players on both teams.

The original strategy of the Clippers was to fight against the TT combination of the whole team, and Li Ao could be lazy on the offensive end from time to time, leaving his physical strength until the fourth quarter to run Maddie to death, which was used as a key point.

Now Jordan decided to switch it and he went to play the key shots.

Maddie followed Jordan to the weak side, and he also saw through the opponent's intentions, but there was nothing to be done, they didn't have a second player on the outside to defend Li Ao and Jordan.

This is already the best he and Duncan have come up with with a few teammates.

After the players of the two teams settled their positions, the Magic players began to intensify their hand-to-hand combat.

Mike Miller, who defended Li Ao, also tried his best to fight against the front wind, Li Ao was a little confused, but he still turned around and cut in.

The Clippers' singles space was wide open, and after Li Ao cut two steps, Bibby steadily delivered the ball to him.

Mike Miller struggled to catch up, Li Ao dribbled into the three-second zone, and before he could shake off Mike Miller, Duncan's supplementary defense was already in place, and he immediately saw through the opponent's defensive cooperation.

Li Ao dribbled to the right with a big step behind his back, stopped near the baseline on the right sideline in the three-second zone, turned to face the baseline, avoided Hores Grant who was coming from under the basket, and hooked up......

Duncan, who was thrown away by Li Ao's back dribble, took it back as soon as possible to cover O'Neal Jr. to eat cakes, Li Ao threw it himself, and Duncan stuck O'Neal Jr.'s rushing space...... The ball falls into the box.

In this ball, Duncan did everything he should have done, but Van Hores Grant is a year or two younger, Mike Miller can defend better, and can defend Li Ao, but he has no dissatisfaction, he has done a good job, he can't consume Jordan, and it is the same to consume Li Ao.

The two teams were much more tentative tonight than in the previous two games, and now the two teams are officially in formation and are once again in attack mode.

The response that the TT group came up with was not complicated, it was straightforward.

However, it is precisely because of the directness that the Clippers can only take it.

At the time of the Los Angeles derby, the OK combination had to fight hard, and the Clippers could only carry it hard, and there was no way to be beaten by fat, so they could only slowly consume it, drag it with all their might, and consume O'Neal to the point where the performance on the defensive end declined in order to complete the reversal.

After setting off the offensive battle, Li Ao didn't have much pressure at first, singled Maddie, with Duncan's help, he could only fight, but singled Mike Miller...... Duncan's 95 points on the defense, plus Mike Miller's single defense, 80 points.

However, Mike Miller's defense is poor, but he is exceptionally active, and as a white small forward, his strength is also better than Maddy's, and he doesn't feel anything in a round or two of confrontation, but as the game deepens, the attrition strategy of the TT combination gradually takes effect.

This is not the point, after taking over the offensive banner from Jordan, Li Ao is ready to be used as a 'consumable', and he also has Bibby and Odom, who rotated on the court in the second half of the quarter, and the offensive continuity is enough.

It's not the pressure from the TT combination, these two can play against them like the OK group in the rampaging stage.

The real pressure comes from the three role players of Troy Hudson, Mike Miller, and Horace Grant!

Relying only on the TT combination, the Magic team is indeed difficult to overturn, and compared with the OK combination, the TT combination has obvious shortcomings.

Troy Hudson and Mike Miller were far more decisive and accurate in their catch-and-shoot tonight than in the previous two games!

They don't want to be the one who drags their feet!

Hores-Grant's cut-and-go finish tonight was also more playful.

In the first two games, he was afraid of Jordan, even if Jordan didn't attack the frame, he was a member of the first dynasty of the Bulls, and he had seen the real most terrifying Jordan, but tonight he put aside his fear and just wanted to win! Do your best to win!

0-2, losing and falling off a cliff, the last two days even the Magic fans called them 'trash', tonight, they burst out with all their strength to prove that they are worthy of the Finals stage.

Their outburst greatly relieved the pressure on Maddy and Duncan, Maddy played better on the offensive end, and Duncan could also focus on increasing the difficulty of the Clippers' rim and close-range shooting.

The Clippers' style of play has also changed as the game deepens, at first Li Ao and Jordan switched roles, and now, Li Ao has really entered the state of playing with life.

When you are tired, let Bibi and Odom fight, and when you slow down, you will chisel.

For the Magic, losing this game is a catastrophe, and it is also very important for the Clippers, who may be beaten by the opposite side!

The Clippers are young, and the Magic are actually young, with Troy Hudson, Maddy, Mike Miller, and Duncan all young players...... The player who has 5 first team, 4 first defense, 1 second defense, 1 MVP, and 1 FMVP has just turned 26 years old in April, and is only in the fifth year of his career, so he can naturally be regarded as young.

Tonight, the Magic's two young pitchers have withstood the pressure and played with the momentum that young players should have, and if they win, they will most likely turn the tide.

The Clippers did it in the Los Angeles derby, and they're especially afraid of that.

The Magic's performance tonight put the Clippers under a lot of pressure.

But...... The pressure was high, but the Clippers players were also excited and excited.

If you can beat your opponent smoothly like the previous two games and win the championship, it will be very cool.

But tonight's game is the finals they yearn for!

Forcing the opponent out of the strongest combat power, and then defeating the opponent, such a champion is even more cool!

In the first quarter, the two teams were full of firepower and fought fiercely for a whole quarter.

As in the previous two games, the Magic still had the lead.

In terms of individual ability that lasts an entire quarter, the Clippers have no one who can match any of the TT combinations.

The margin in the first quarter was smaller than the previous game, 31-34, and the Clippers trailed by only three points.

But the small point difference does not mean that the pressure on the Clippers is less than the previous game, the consumption of the TT combination in the first quarter is significantly smaller than the previous game, Maddy has 8 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, Duncan has 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, and the former played 9 minutes and the latter played 10 minutes, unlike the previous two games, which played the whole quarter like the previous two, and the Magic team still maintained the lead.

When the pressure wasn't as high, Rivers did a good job of rotating.

On the contrary, the Clippers' consumption was greater than the first two games, Li Ao played a full first quarter, shooting 4 of 8, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 3 of 4 free throws to score 12 points.

In the second quarter, Gentry first let Li Ao take a break, but did not let Jordan go up to fight, but let Bibby, Big Q, Matt Harplin, Odom, and Campbell go up and hold on for a while.

Although it only lasted 3 minutes before the Magic stretched the difference to 6 points, it also delayed a little time.

During this period, Gentry, Doug Collins, Li Ao, Jordan, Kevin Willis and others discussed the contingency strategy, and after the score came to 35-41, they called a timeout and replaced the combination of Big Q, Li Ao, Jordan, Odom, and Campbell.

Pure knock defense, on the offensive end, Odom Tu, Li Aotou, Jordan stroke to contain and save physical strength, and big Q running to interfere with the opponent's defense.

The Clippers' change came as a surprise to Maddie and Duncan.

It's not a good strategy to fight them defensively, both of them are the kind that can break through the defense with their individual ability, and their Magic team happens to be the team that smashes the two of them's individual ability.

No matter how well the opposition defense is, they can score more than 95 points in every game and only defend the opponent by about 90 points.

The Clippers hadn't tried to defend themselves in the first two games, and this time they made this move, which really caused a lot of trouble for the Magic.

In the next 9 minutes, the Clippers and the Magic played a 16-16 score, although it did not narrow the difference, but it did not allow the Magic to continue to expand the difference.

At halftime, the Clippers trailed the Magic by 6 points 51-57!

An overall stage adjustment, Maddie and Duncan can do, but this kind of mid-game detail control, they don't have that ability.

Judging from the score, the Magic had the advantage in this quarter, but in terms of the overall situation, the Clippers took the initiative as they did in the previous two games.

Jordan's side didn't make a lot of effort yet, and only played 5 minutes in the second quarter when the Clippers needed hand-to-hand combat attrition, and only played 11 minutes in the half, and was still responsible for wing defense and slow pick-up.

Maddie and Duncan discussed it when they returned to the locker room, feeling that it would be dangerous to play like this, and that Jordan had to be allowed to enter early.

This time, the two didn't get entangled, found Rivers, and said strongly that they would go straight to work in the second half!

Rivers hesitated: "Your physical exertion tonight is not so great, continue to play in the first half, it is more advantageous to be more stable." ”

Maddie looked at Duncan.

Duncan understood what Maddy meant – the manager said so, so we'd have to do the opposite.

Eliminate an error option first.

After the teammates returned to the locker room, Duncan ignored Rivers, called his teammates together, and gave a few brief commands.

Rivers stared at the side with his eyes wide open, but didn't dare say anything.

Feed Maddie chicken soup, he can feed it, but Duncan, this master really ignores people when he says ignore people, and Duncan's words are in Maddie's place, and the priority is above chicken soup......

Coming back from half-time, the second half begins.

The Clippers ruled out a combination of Greg Anthony, Big Q, Jordan, Odom, O'Neal Jr.

The Magic fielded a combination of Troy Hudson, Maddy, Mike Miller, Duncan, Ewing.

The Clippers relied on hand-to-hand defense to stabilize the situation, and chose to play steadily in the second half, making good use of the advantage of comprehensive strength.

But the TT combination didn't give the Clippers a chance to play steadily!

Maddie and Duncan came up and scored 7 points in a row, Duncan scored a mid-range shot and a strong offensive basket to shoot high, and Maddie scored a pull-up shot 2+1.

The Clippers had only Odom scoring two points on a layup from Jordan during this period.

64-53, the Magic extended their lead to 11 points!

Gentry called a timeout and brought on Ao Lee, Bibby and Matt Halplin, while Jordan and O'Neal Jr. continued to play.

This time, instead of knocking the main force in a panic, he responded according to the opponent's style of play.

The Magic, for their part, switched to the most capable lineup, apparently trying to seal the win in this quarter.

If the Magic really opened up a particularly large point difference in this quarter, their Clippers would have enough to chase, and the consumption of the TT combination in the first half was much smaller than in the first two quarters.

But the other party wants to fight in the third quarter, and he accompanies him!

Jordan wanted to leave his physical strength in the fourth quarter, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and after the timeout came back, he and Li Ao fired with all their might!

In nearly 9 minutes, Jordan scored 7 points, Li Ao scored 6 points, and under the leadership of the two, the Clippers scored 24 points.

But the TT combination firepower on the Magic team is also very strong, and the two of them combined to score 14 points, 1 point more than God and Hero!

The two made the right decision, although their teammates worked hard, but in the third quarter, after the confrontation, their hand fell seriously, and they only scored 6 points on 8 shots during this period, and they really had to fight to maintain the lead.

Duncan and Maddie combined for 21 points in the third quarter to lead the team to a 27-26 one-quarter score and extend the lead by one point.

84-77, the Magic led the Clippers by 7 points into the final quarter!

After nearly 9 minutes of fighting, they only chased a four-point difference, which was very unexpected by the Clippers, and the game was out of their control.

This time in the finals, they felt the danger of losing for the first time!

At this time, Li Ao's 'Pride of Champions Level 2' played a role, and they were not afraid in the face of the crisis.

Jordan, who won all 6 finals, had a calm expression that also gave his teammates confidence.

For Jordan, this little accident was all too common.

This is the Grand Final, and plans often don't keep up with the changes.

He approached Gentry and said, "Let me continue to go at the end of the season." ”

Gentry asked, "Michael, are you physically capable?" We're 2-0 up, so you don't have to rush that much. ”

"If it doesn't work, it's okay, I'm here, Spider-Man can play better, I've had so long a break in the regular season, and I've been resting all the time, isn't it now? If I can win the championship tonight, even if I fight hard tonight and retire on the spot, I am willing.

We are 2-0 up and have a way out, but tonight's game is not at a dead end, so we don't need to think about it! ”

Gentry: "......"

He asked, this thing actually came to such an impassioned speech.

It's good, too.

The team members were not afraid, but the whole team became excited when they howled like this.

After the intermission, Gentry clapped his hands, and the combination of Big Q, Li Ao, Jordan, Odom, and Campbell came on the court.

The Magic continue to field a combination of Troy Hudson, Maddy, Mike Miller, Duncan, Ewing.

With an iron sound of Jordan's "bang", the fourth quarter kicked off.

"Bang ......"

The two teams that returned to the court threw most of the balls on the hoops.

But the more this happens, the harder the two teams defend.

This game is in the Magic's favor, and they wish the two teams had played until the end of the game, so they would have won.

The Clippers also want the other side to play iron so they have a chance to catch up with the point difference.

The Clippers are scrappy, and the Magic are unrelenting.

The Magic players were originally just unwilling to fight, but now they see hope, play even more, and play with the momentum of fighting against the odds.

Suppress the Clippers to the death!

Li Ao and Jordan struggled to support with the help of Odom, although they did not narrow the gap to less than 5 points, but they bit the score.

By the time of the official timeout, the score was 88-96 and the Clippers trailed by eight points.

The Magic went 12-11!

Another one-point deficit was not what the Magic players were most happy about.

Li Ao also showed fatigue!

The finals have reached the third game, and they have forced Li Ao to this for the first time.

In the first two games, Li Ao played very leisurely, defending in tandem, making good use of strong teammates, and coming out to kill the game in the crucial final quarter.

In that picture, the Magic players gritted their teeth just thinking about it.

Now, they're finally going to win!

There are two of them, they have to keep all 3 home games and go away to win the championship!

After the official timeout, the Magic team changed back to the top five starters, Ewing was almost exhausted, he played more than 20 minutes, got 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and did his best.

The Clippers fielded a combination of Bibby, Big Q, Ao Lee, Matt Harplin, and O'Neal Jr.

Jordan fought for another half and now stands on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, staring at his teammates.

The game continued, the Clippers attacked, Bibby took over the offensive banner, and O'Neal Jr. launched a pick-and-roll attack, and after dismantling, he grabbed Duncan's block in place and hit a two-point shot!

The Clippers are definitely going to have a fight, and the Magic are no surprise...... Led by Bibby, they were quite surprised, Spider-Man was completely unable to move tonight?

In the past two games, there has been no chance for Bibby to play his key ball ability.

In the Los Angeles derby, Bibby actually played very well, but in the next round he was ignored, and it was still the same in the finals......

When it came to the Magic offense, the Magic players were surprised again.

Spider-Man, who had just attacked and stood on his hips, went to the defensive end to play with Maddie, and defended even harder than in front!

The Magic players don't understand, they don't understand, but it doesn't matter, they just have to hold on to the lead, and they play hard.

In fact, Bibi didn't understand what his junior brother was thinking, so he actually used the rest of his physical strength on defense...... The right should be trust, he and little O'Neill can fight together!

The Clippers' comprehensive strength advantage is real, and it still came after all, Bibby stood up again in the anxious stage and led the team to play an advantage.

Four minutes after the official timeout, they went on a 10-6 run to finally narrow the deficit to within five points and trail the Magic by four points at 98-102.

But it was too late, and at 10 minutes and 12 seconds into the final quarter, Maddie rolled over and made a jumper...... It was short, hit the front of the basket, but finally bounced into the frame!

At 104-98, the Magic continued to hold a six-point lead.

With 1 minute and 48 seconds left, after Maddie's ball was hit, even the commentators who supported the Clippers were saying that the game had lost suspense, and Li Ao's ball could no longer keep up with Maddy's pace.

Although Maddie is also at the end of the crossbow, this ball is thrown, and the Magic team has already sealed the victory.

Just as Gentry was about to call a timeout to put Jordan in a gamble, Jordan took his hand.

Gentry's first reaction - Jordan was instigated.

But he followed Jordan's line of sight, and Li Ao was gesturing towards Bibi when he ran to the frontcourt.

Spider-Man wants to shoot!

You only threw 1 pot ball in more than 4 minutes, ran to knock the defense, and now the defensive pace can't keep up, tired like this, now you want to shoot?

After a bit of scolding, Gentry still pinned his hopes on his disciple.

The basketball god stood on the sidelines with his legs shaking for several minutes, and when he calmed down, he knew that the veteran who had slashed 21 minutes in three and a half quarters was really not counting on it.

Bibby quickly advanced to the front, and he mastered the rhythm very well, as fast as he should.

As soon as Bibby reached the three-point line, he saw Li Ao borrowing Matt Hardlin to cover.

The moment Li Ao got rid of Maddie, Bibi sent the ball to Li Ao.

Li Ao received the ball from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, turned around, and threw the ball out before Hores-Grant blocked it in place......

'Catch & Shoot Expert Level 5' triggers, +5 threes.

'Residual Blood Level 4' triggers! The shooting hand is hot, and the core strength is slightly enhanced.

The ball flew past Hores Grant's finger and plunged headlong into the hoop!

101-104, the Clippers narrowed the gap to 3 points!

The Magic team defended very well, but Li Ao just scored, a very unreasonable goal!

Li Ao struggled to run back to the backcourt, panting heavily, and interfering with Maddie's shot.

Although tired, he is excited now.

It's finally here!

The 'remnant' moment has finally arrived.

The reason why he didn't take the initiative in the past few minutes was because he shot poorly in the first half of the quarter, scoring only one goal in four shots, plus two free throws to score four points.

If you want to chase points with such a poor feel, it is better to fight for a key ball.

Trust his teammates, make good use of his teammates' abilities, he has always been like this, in the past few minutes of anxiety, he believed in his senior brother, and his senior brother did not disappoint him.

Now, it's time to fight back!

The Magic slowly pushed into the frontcourt, and unlike Bibbe, Troy Hudson thought it would take time.

Maddie was panting with his hands on his thighs on the right side of the three-second zone, not in a hurry to attack, and Li Ao also took the opportunity to catch his breath.

With 8 seconds left in the offensive time, Troy Hudson passed the ball to Maddy, Maddie turned and burst strongly, Li Ao struggled to stick to it, and Maddie burst into close range to throw a shot...... Li Ao interfered successfully, and Maddie's ball hit the neck of the basket!

O'Neal Jr. struggled to withstand Duncan and protect the defensive rebound.

Carrying O'Neal alone, O'Neal Jr. is choking enough, but carrying Duncan is no problem.

Duncan, who was at his second peak, had an advantage over O'Neal in that he had a larger offensive and defensive area, but his impact was not as good as before.

After two years of hard work, O'Neal Jr. was very calm at the critical moment, took the rebound and lifted it, avoided Hores-Grant's steal, and steadily passed the ball to Bibby, who came back to answer.

Without waiting for little O'Neill to run forward, Bibby, who received instructions from his junior brother, quickly advanced.

Li Ao was standing and interfered with Maddy's layup and couldn't jump, but when he saw O'Neal Jr. stuck in the position, he rushed forward as soon as possible, and he couldn't run, but he held on, and the opponent had 4 players standing in a position that couldn't prevent a counterattack, and he had to seize the opportunity.

At this time, the counterattack was still two beats slower and stronger, and the Magic team didn't expect it at all and was caught off guard.

Fortunately, Mike Miller took the lead in retreating and had already set up a defensive posture when Li Ao entered the three-point line.

When Li Ao received a pass from Bibby at the free throw line and rushed inside, Mike Miller quickly posted on the ...... Didn't stand it!

Li Ao enters the basket! Jump!

Mike Miller jumped up and reached out to interfere with Li Ao's layup, he felt that the opponent should be a layup, but ......

Li Ao jumped high over Mike Miller and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

'Marathon Level 3' played a key role!

Mike Miller's outstretched hand failed to reach the ball and slapped it on Li Ao's arm, and the whistle and frame smashing sounded at the same time.

In this picture, the commentators of major TV stations shouted "even buy karma".

Although the Clippers forced a counterattack to make the Magic team's defense chaotic, the commentators were saying that it was too irrational, Li Ao had just scored a three-pointer, and he should have landed in the battle to make Li Ao ready to shoot again, and it was possible to drag it into overtime, and the Clippers would be more advantageous at that time.

No one expected Li Ao to suddenly come like this!

played 42 minutes, tried his best to attack and defend, and it seemed that his strength had been drained, and he completed the brutal dunk at the critical moment!

The commentators could only marvel at Li Ao's physical talent.

The players and fans at the scene also felt that this was the suppression of talent.

Mike Miller watched Li Ao fall off the hoop, and he thought of the picture when they met at Mad San more than two years ago, when he could feel the gap in talent between him and Li Ao, and more than two years later, he really felt how big the talent gap was.

This ball, he served.

But he was not reconciled!

Li Ao walked to the free throw line, received the ball and took a deep breath to adjust, still 1 point behind, the effect of 'residual blood level 4' is still there, as long as the shooting force is guaranteed.

Amid the boos of more than 17,000 fans and the cheers of more than 2,000 fans, Li Aojia hit the penalty shot.

104-104 with 28 seconds left, the Clippers miraculously tied the score!

12 points in the first quarter, 6 points in the second quarter, 6 points in the third quarter, 4 points in the first half of the last quarter, plus 6 points in a row, Li Ao's score has increased to 34 points, surpassing Maddie's 33 points, the highest in the game!

Rivers on the sidelines opened his mouth wide and forgot to even call a timeout.

However, this is actually a good thing for the Magic team, and the Magic players are now holding on, and it may not be possible to tighten up after calling a timeout.

Troy Hudson received the ball much faster, and when he got to the frontcourt, he was caught by Bibby's strong body, and quickly passed the ball to Maddie to avoid mistakes.

Maddie was a little speechless, and asked him to slow down for a few more seconds, but he still calmed down and protected the ball.

Li Ao pressed on Maddie regardless of it, and now there is only 105 kilograms of tonnage left in the defense.

This kind of defense is really enough for Maddie in this state.

Maddie dribbled carefully under Li Ao's confrontation, and when there were 7 seconds left to attack, he wanted to get rid of Li Ao, and his legs were weak.

He's a little panicked now, why can't his legs stiffen when this is a terrible thing?

That's when the good brother came! Maddie hurried to the ball.

Mike Miller receives the ball and turns around to meet the big Q and throws a shot from the back...... Hit!

Mike Miller clenched his fists and roared when he landed.

He admits that he can't be compared to Spider-Man, but he can also contribute to victory!

Maddie was ecstatic and beckoned her teammates to retreat...... The other party called a timeout.

Oh, so you can call a timeout at this time......

Rivers was desperate, he actually forgot to call a timeout, and when he remembered to call a timeout, Maddie had already dribbled the ball and carried Li Ao's hand-to-hand pressure, and this state dragged on to overtime, I couldn't think about it.

Unexpectedly, Mike Miller actually scored, and he immediately made adjustments to the defensive lineup after the players returned to the bench.

Darrell Armstrong, Maddy, Judy Buiciller, Don Reid, Duncan played.

On the other side, Gentry, although annoyed by Mike Miller's goal, did not show it and made a skillful substitution.

Bibby, Li Ao, Jordan, Matt Harplin, Odom played.

After a timeout, the Clippers serve in the frontcourt.

The Clippers can be said to have no interior lineup and are difficult to defend.

But Rivers' best coach is not for nothing, he has poor on-the-spot command, but the preparation work is actually very complete, and he has planned the defense of key balls before the start of the Finals, and he also expected the Clippers to send this lineup for key balls...... It's just that I didn't have a chance to use it in the first two games.

Now it's used!

The Clippers did a good job of interspersing the runs, and Odom did not drop the chain on the key ball serve in the finals, and accurately sent the ball to Li Ao.

The Magic didn't flank the shots, Jordan was old and tired, but that's God, Bibby also let the Magic know him tonight, Matt Hardlin cut in, and Duncan needed to limit ...... The Magic could only let Li Ao receive the ball.

But the Magic coaches and players were confident at this moment, and defending Li Ao was Judy Buichler, a member of the Bulls' Second Dynasty and Jordan's backup.

The offense is basically for nothing, but the defense is good and experienced, and every time the Magic team plays to the last moment, he is the first scoring point of the opponent, and he always does a good job.

In theory, Rivers was right, and the trust of the Magic players was not given randomly.

But Spider-Man doesn't make much sense......

After being posted by Judy Buichler on the court, he received a system prompt - 'Punch Nursing Home Level 3' is turned on, and 'Residual Blood Level 4' is on!

Unfortunately, Judy Buichler turned 34 before the finals began!

Li Ao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on a step, didn't rely on it, the veteran's static strength was very sufficient, but his purpose was not this, as long as the opponent lowered his center of gravity, he turned around to catch the dribble behind his back, making a little space to lift the ball up and jump.

Judy Buichler judged Li Ao's intentions and got up in time to interfere...... Void!

Li Aozhong hit a shot, 106-106, and the Clippers tied the score again!

This time, Gentry finally remembered to call a timeout, but with 2.8 seconds left, after the timeout came back, Maddie turned around and missed the shot in the face of the big Q defense, and went into overtime!

was actually dragged into overtime, and Spider-Man, who didn't score a point in 4 minutes after the official timeout, slashed 8 points in the last 1 minute or so...... The Magic players felt what it meant to be a real hit.

This blow was bigger than the previous two defeats.

They did a good enough job tonight and almost every player who came on the pitch played their best.

As a result, at the last moment, Spider-Man was alone 8 to 2!

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same, and the Clippers are very excited here, and they are finally going to turn the tables!

Jordan continued to cross his waist on the sidelines, he was afraid that he would not be able to get up after he sat down, he felt that he was about to collapse after running a few steps on the court just now, and he had to hold on until he was interviewed and returned to the locker room, but the mood was completely different from when he was replaced in the middle of the fourth quarter.

Gentry asked Li Ao if he could continue to fight, and Li Ao nodded.

Gentry didn't question it at all, what the lover said was what he was!

A few minutes of break passed quickly and extra time began.

The Magic players were frustrated, but they didn't give up.

But Rivers doesn't seem to have grasped what it means to 'fight the old man Spider-Man', and still uses Judy Buich to guard Li Ao.

At the beginning of overtime, Li Ao scored 5 points on 2-of-3 shooting under Buichler's defense, exhausted the little physical strength that had just rested and recovered, and then began to swing his waist and hand over the offense to his senior brother.

In these three rounds, the Magic team did not score a point, 111-106, and the Clippers led by 5 points!

Although Li Ao is standing there with his waist crossed, and the defensive end is also half-dead, but his threat is still higher than that of the main attacker Bibi when he is attacking, he moves his foot slightly, and Judy Buichler, who is defending him, will tremble, and when he goes out, the outside players of the Magic team will look at him, and when he goes inside, Duncan will also move his feet.

The card is really full.

The Magic didn't do much in overtime, and their main team had done their best in regular time and didn't want to give up, but they really couldn't play.

Bibby went on his own to score 4-2 the rest of the time, and at 11:41 p.m., the final whistle blew again!

15 of 28 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 9 of 11 free throws, Li Ao scored 41 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks!

The first playoffs and finals of his career are 40+ in a single game!

Jordan had 21 points, 4 points, 4 assists and 1 steal, Bibby had 19 points and 6 assists, and O'Neal Jr. had 8 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks......

115-108, the Clippers defeated the Magic in overtime and led 3-0!

Maddy had 33 points, 6 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and Duncan had 30 points, 13 boards, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

The two of them played the strongest performance of this playoffs, not only individually, but also drove their teammates up.

But still lost.

The Magic team fell behind 0-3, and the suspense of this Finals has been lost.

After the game, fans have already started to discuss the topic of FMVP.

After G2 played, Jordan's FMVP call was still very high, but G3 Li Ao scored 41 points, slashed 13 points in 3 minutes at the critical moment, and single-handedly reversed the Magic team.

In this battle, FMVP loses suspense!

Duncan's second-youngest FMVP in history will be surpassed!

However, the topic of Jordan's 7th crown is even hotter.

After the first dynasty, he returned from retirement, and came back after a small half of the season, and became a dynasty again.

After returning from his second retirement for three years, he will turn 39 years old, and he can still be a key player for a championship-contending team, making great contributions on the offensive end, and making up for the lack of a defensive power forward on the defensive end, and becoming the team's second leading scorer and the most stable single player in the playoffs, making a huge contribution to winning the championship......

This is in response to the old saying from the mysterious East - your uncle is still your uncle!

The day's break passed quickly, and at 8:40 p.m. on June 15, the players of both teams entered the stadium at the TD Waterhouse Center Gymnasium.

The atmosphere of the scene tonight...... It can only be said that this is the South Coast, and the Clippers fans account for half of them! Many Magic fans who grabbed tickets in advance sold tickets to Clippers fans after falling behind 0-3.

Considering the loyalty of the South Coast fans, the Magic team is considered to be strong, down 0-3, and there can be half of the home team fans on the scene, changing the Heat and the Hawks, which is unthinkable.

The stars were shining again on the sidelines, and David Stern was also sitting on the sidelines with his trademark chrysanthemum smile, and when the big screen camera showed him, the Clippers fans and Magic fans united for the first time in this Finals to send boos.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the fourth game of the finals started in the chaotic shouts of the scene.

G3 suffered a tragic reversal, and the mentality of the Magic players was collapsed, and they had no confidence at all.

Originally, the Clippers were still afraid of Maddie rushing again to drive his teammates, and that kind of Maddy, coupled with the steady Duncan, was very stressful for them, Jordan only had one day off, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to support it tonight.

But although Duncan is still steady, Maddie does not have the sharpness of the last game and plays steadily.

In this finals, Maddie tried the playing style of his friend who also holds a high school diploma according to Rivers's arrangement, and determined that he was not suitable for playing like that.

may play two games a game and can play highlights, but the overall performance and continuity are far less than his usual style of play this season.

Yesterday he and Duncan had a day of shutting down, and at dinner in the evening, it was determined that he shouldn't change his style of play and should have the team add players.

The team has to replenish the pitchers, defensive sharps, and blue-collar workers, and although it is difficult, there is always a way.

But it is basically impossible to find a player who has both the characteristics of an offensive core and an outside defensive gate.

When the two began to discuss this, they had actually accepted their fate, and they no longer had hope for this finals.

The TT combination is not sharp, and the other players on the Magic team have naturally lost their hard work.

The Clippers are playing steadily, Jordan is in charge of containment tonight, and if he has a chance to catch and shoot, forget it, just put the deterrence of the 'God of Basketball of Lao Tzu'.

The score was 28-21 in the first quarter, 24-20 in the second quarter, 31-24 in the third quarter, and 25-31 in the final quarter......

At 11:20 p.m., the final whistle blew.

More than 10,000 Clippers fans cheered wildly!

Li Ao made 7 of 15 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 10 of 11 free throws, and scored 26 points, 6 boards, 6 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks.

Jordan had 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Bibby had 16 points and 7 assists, Odom had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, O'Neal Jr. had 18 points and 10 boards, and Matt Halplin had 12 points......

Duncan had 27 points, 13 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and Maddie had 18 points, 6 boards, 13 assists, 1 steal and 1 block......

108-96, the Clippers swept the Magic 4-0 to win the championship!

Before the start of the game, some netizens maliciously speculated that Jordan would mess around because of FMVP, after all, he was a goat.

But Jordan didn't do anything that shouldn't have been done in this game, and did his job well to ensure that the team could win the championship...... After all, this is the real - the goat.

After the final whistle, the Clippers players and coaches surrounded the city...... Ballmer joins in this time, chanting "We are the champions"!

After celebrating for a while, David Stern came to the field with Miss Manners, first hugged Ballmer, Jordan, and Li Ao, and was still smiling after being stuck in sweat.

Ballmer was secretly glad that he was the first to hug Stern when he stood on the very edge......

Stern first announced that the Clippers had won the championship and handed the trophy to the dogs, and more than 10,000 fans cheered again, and after cheering, the fans began to chant "Spider-Man".

Li Ao is also a little nervous now, he averages 31 points, 6.25 boards, 4 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.75 blocks per game......

Stern picked up the microphone again and said loudly in the cheers of the fans: "In the 2001-2002 season, the winner of the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award is...... Spider-Man Leo, congratulations to Li Ao for becoming the first flower planter in NBA history to win the Most Valuable Player Award in the Finals! ”
