Chapter Seventy-One: The New King Is Coronated! (22,000 words per day completed!) Kneel down for subscriptions, monthly passes, collections! )
On June 7, the G2 battle between the two sides continued at the MCI Center.
Since the Finals at this time will be played in a 232 format, whether the Wizards can hold their first two home courts is the key to whether the Wizards can win the championship this year in the eyes of local media in Washington.
On the pitch, the two sides still used the G1 starters.
The only difference is that tonight the Lakers adjusted their defensive strategy against Jordan.
In the center of the court, in the jump ball session, after O'Neal was once again attacked by Gasol, the Spanish curly, the Wizards had the ball.
On the sidelines, looking at Fox who took the initiative to pounce on Boss Qiao, Wang Shuo smacked his tongue and sighed: Sure enough, for the championship, everyone is the kind of person who can throw that damn face on the ground, and then step on his feet hard.
However, now the question arises, did the Lakers switch to Fox to defend Jordan tonight because they felt that Kobe Bryant did not defend Jordan well in G1 wartime?
The answer, of course, is not.
Because compared to Kobe, who dares to "elbow and look" with Boss Joe in a physical sense, if Fox has the ability to prevent Jordan, he will not only get 3.79 million this season, which is only slightly higher than Pippen's salary back then.
Tonight, the Lakers' defensive strategy has only one purpose, that is, to save Kobe Bryant's physical strength on defense as much as possible, so that he can pick out the only hope for the Lakers to beat the Wizards.
Although, in the future, many people will only look at the data and will definitely question why Kobe Bryant didn't pass the ball in the G1 game.
But at least, in the eyes of the people who really know it so far, how many times Kobe Bryant can pick up this series will in a sense determine how likely the Lakers are to beat this Wizards.
Because with no one but O'Neal reliable, do you expect Fisher and Horry Sr. to break down the Wizards' defense?
However, the Lakers' strategic adjustment tonight, Wang Shuo, can only be regarded as a vulgar hand.
On the court, after easily fooling Fox, Jordan turned and wiped into the basket and hit the board, 0-2.
"Without Kobe's defense, Michael wouldn't have just taken 18 shots on the court." On the court, after making a mischievous grimace at the "Zen Master" on the Lakers bench, Wang Shuo smiled.
G1 battle, because Kobe Bryant has always maintained an extremely high intensity defense against Jordan, therefore, Jordan also needs to pay a certain price if he wants to maintain efficiency.
Co-Fox ......
Obviously, it doesn't make Boss Joe pay the price when he played Kobe.
But after thinking carefully in his mind, Wang Shuo found that the "Zen master" seemed to have no other way.
Because it's like you let the war eagle play against Ke Jie, in Ke Jie's eyes, the war eagle may not even be called playing Go.
The Wizards' overall roster advantage is so outrageous.
If in the regular season, under Wang Shuo's tactical "disguise", people thought that Wang Shuo and Jordan were carrying the Wizards forward, then in the playoffs, people would find out......
It's clear that this Wizards is carrying Jordan forward!
Coming back, the Lakers attacked, and O'Neal, who was in a much better physical condition this time, hit the inside after getting the ball.
Seeing this, Gasol decisively gave O'Neal to get out of the way of the attack area after the milk roared fiercely twice:
Isn't it just a strong fight on the inside? Do you need to make it so hard that everyone is embarrassed?
Bang Dang——!
After venting the depression in his heart with a one-handed slam slam, O'Neill glared at Gasol fiercely when he retreated.
It is......
Gasol, who pretended not to see it, didn't think about riding with O'Neal at all, but rushed to the Lakers half in stride!
Seeing this, Arenas, who quickly dribbled through the half, waited deliberately for a while, and then handed the ball to Gasol, who was following up from the middle.
After winning the ball, Gasol raised his long arm high and slashed Huashan!
And, after scoring a goal, while hammering his chest, he didn't forget to look up to the sky and roar!
At the same time, the Wizards' home DJ also cooperated and shouted, "This is a slam dunk!" From Pau Gasol! ”
On the field, looking at Gasol's "fierce face" and listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene, O'Neill found out......
The Wizards team, there is no one who is not cheap!
But at this moment, O'Neill's mind has long since lost the idea of defending himself.
Because right now, all his thoughts are on how to help the team win against this Wizards.
The Lakers attacked, and after spreading out in a 122 formation, O'Neal squeezed Gasol past and sank into the low post again.
This time, after quickly turning around and slipping under the basket, O'Neal didn't even bother to abuse the rim, directly hit the board, and then quickly turned and retreated.
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo saw that the Lakers wanted to win the Wizards all over the world tonight.
Well, since you guys want to win so much!
That Wang Shuo can only ......
"Haven't you eaten enough? One by one, do you think you've won the championship?
Michael, if you dare to be so lazy again, when you get back to the locker room, I'll whip you to death!
How? Think you've won six championships, right? On the sidelines, rushing at the wizards players on the field, I saw Wang Shuo suddenly roaring.
On the Lakers' bench, seeing this, looking at Wang Shuo, who even Jordan dared to roar, the "Zen Master" couldn't help but widen his pupils.
He......
It turns out that it's not just at the press conference that I'm so brave!
On the field, after being yelled at by Wang Shuo, Jordan also shouted at the other players tacitly: "What do you see? Do you think you are quite proud to be yelled at?
One by one, they all give me focus! ”
Of course, no matter how tacit it it is, at this moment, Jordan also made up his mind in his heart:
That is, the VIP membership card of a certain club that he originally wanted to give to Wang Shuo is gone!
In Jordan's opinion, when the season is over, he will only give Wang Shuo an experience voucher for the club at most.
On the court, the game continued, because the defensive strategy against Jordan was adjusted tonight, so the Lakers also made corresponding adjustments to the position of other players as the game progressed.
In order to see Hamilton's perpetual motion machine-like positioning, the "Zen Master" used Fisher to match Hamilton tonight.
At this time, Fisher is full of physical energy, although he is short, but he is very good at physical confrontation, in Phil Jackson's opinion, since he can't count on offense, then when defending, he has to give full play to his physical advantages.
Don't say it, this trick really works.
Because in the process of running, Hamilton could not avoid the physical confrontation that Fisher gave him, so it will inevitably affect his subsequent shooting percentage.
However, this group of counterpoint "Zen masters" can be regarded as temporarily passing......
But the old Horry and Atay are in this group, and the "Zen Master" can only hope that the old Horry can invite Elgin Baylor, the famous place in my lake, in the god invitation activity.
Eh, no, why invite a king of eight ya?
Bad luck!
On the court, looking at Atay's eager expression, Jordan smiled slightly, and decisively signaled Gasol to pass the ball to Artay.
As an absolute core who knows how to distribute physical energy on the court, the biggest difference between Jordan and many big players is that he is very good at squeezing his "second leader" in the game.
Atai and Horry are in this group, as long as the young Atay rushes up, Horry has nothing to do with him.
As for expecting teammates to help defend ......
O'Neill wanted to help defend Horry, but Gasol just couldn't get into the penalty area!
O'Neill served.
He has played as a center forward all his life, and he has played against a lot of center forwards who can only dodge and play, but he has never seen such a brazen person as Gasol in his life!
You say he's dodging and hitting, and while you're not paying attention, he'll slip under your basket and dunk.
You said he didn't dodge the fight, anyway, when you were staring at him with all your body, if he went further three seconds, he would lose.
And you say he's soft, you were accidentally pecked by him, and he dared to look up to the sky in front of you and howl.
But you say he's not soft......
This is softer than anywhere!
O'Neill was completely convinced.
In fact, the "Zen master" did not think of using someone else to oppose Gasol.
But the best thing about Gasol is that as long as the Lakers dare to use other people to defend him, he will immediately incarnate Chamberlain.
Generally, for a player like Gasol, people tend to use the "three words" of extremely high ball quotient to evaluate him.
On the court, after Atay beat the elder Horry for two rounds in a row, "Zen Master" immediately called Devin George from the bench.
Seeing this, on the Wizards' side, Wang Shuo also cast a "you know" look at Jordan.
CCTV, looking at the Wizards and Lakers who played back and forth in the first quarter of the game, Director Zhang sighed with emotion: "Today is really printed with the previous propaganda of the NBA. ”
On the side, Director Sun echoed: "What Director Zhang said is true. ”
MCI Center, 30-33 in the first quarter.
O'Neal, who scored 16 points for the Lakers in the first quarter alone, was definitely the most beautiful boy of the night.
But at this moment, O'Neill, who was not happy anyway, was busy rubbing and massaging his little brother's shoulders.
Tonight, relying on O'Neal's dominant performance in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers have improved a lot from the previous game.
Can......
After slamming O'Neal for a whole quarter, in the second quarter of the game, the Lakers needed Kobe Bryant to stand up and help the Lakers survive O'Neal's recovery from the court.
Don't look at Gasol when he is defending, the biggest role for O'Neill is to shout and cheer on the sidelines.
But looking back, in the face of the Wizards' fast-paced advancement, O'Neal didn't have an easy night tonight.
It's just that as the hope of the whole village......
Will Kobe be able to step up tonight?
In the second quarter of the game, the Wizards made substitutions, and the five on the court were Haywood, Wallace, Jackson, Jefferson, and Crawford.
On the court, as soon as he came up, looking at Kobe Bryant, who sank into the low post, the Wizards didn't think about it, so they directly wrapped it up.
What is a V and a real man fight?
Real men have to dare to face the bags of a group of strong men!
Seeing this, after hesitating in his heart for a while, Kobe Bryant did not choose to pass, but sent a "gift" to Haywood with a graceful backward turn and backward combo.
CCTV, Director Zhang, who saw this scene, said: "Alas, Kobe Bryant's ball is also very difficult!" ”
On the side, Director Sun smiled: "This is Kobe's twenty-fifth shot in this game, and unfortunately he didn't hit it." ”
Hearing this, Director Zhang always felt that he had heard something wrong, 25 shots? When did Kobe Bryant shoot that many balls tonight, why didn't he know?
It wasn't until a while later that Director Sun, who reacted, hurriedly added: "Oh, I'm sorry, I read the technical statistics wrong just now, this is Kobe's fourth shot tonight, and his shooting rate is as high as 25% at present." ”
Director Zhang: "......"
Up...... 25%?
Are you the legendary Kohei?
In this game, Kobe Bryant didn't shoot much in the first quarter, and mainly played support, in order to bring hope and future for the Lakers in the second quarter.
On the Wizards' side, Wang Shuo, who doesn't know whether Crawford is a god or a ghost tonight, is also looking forward to Crawford picking out tomorrow for the Wizards and a new era.
When ——!
On the court, the Wizards attacked, only to see Crawford hit the iron with a trademark shot, and returned the color to the Lakers.
In the first half of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant in 5 shots and Crawford in 4 shots and 0 shots were heroes!
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo, who couldn't stand it, hurriedly replaced Crawford with Arenas.
Outcome......
Arenas really worked as soon as he got on the court, hitting two three-pointers in a row for the Wizards.
But on the other hand, Kobe, who suddenly found his touch, also hit two three-pointers in a row for the Lakers.
In the second quarter, the Wizards failed to open the gap, and at halftime, the score of the two teams was 58-62.
After the break, Yibian fought again, and O'Neal still bullied Gasol on the inside.
Jordan, on the other hand, took Fox as a knife.
On the Wizards bench, as the game deepened, Wang Shuo's heart began to flutter.
Because no matter how strong the overall strength of this Wizards is, on the basketball court, the performance of the players has to speak.
Tonight, the Lakers basically played at their best.
The Wizards, on the other hand, can only be regarded as normal play.
On the court, after Kobe Bryant scored another three-pointer for the Lakers against Artay, with 3 minutes and 25 seconds left in the third quarter, 81-81, the Lakers struggled to tie the score on the court!
In this game, Kobe Bryant's overall hand was average, and he only made 8 of 24 shots in the third quarter.
But he shot 5-of-9 from three-point range.
At this time, the person who said earlier that this strange team could carry Jordan forward was a bit of a clown. (Wang Shuo: ?) )
Because at this moment when the Wizards players on the court didn't know how to win the game, they saw Boss Joe yelling at his teammates: "Pass me the damn ball!" ”
The experienced Jordan knows very well that the current competition is who is the leading star.
Only by surviving this stage can the Wizards' advantage in personnel rotation be fully utilized.
Because of pressing "OK" to play like this tonight, the Lakers' physical fitness will definitely not be able to hold back first.
On the court, the Wizards attacked, and Jordan, who sank into the low post, faced Fox, shook, shook, and then a divine punishment!
Hmmm——!
81 to 83.
Coming back, the Lakers possessed the ball, and O'Neal even spared no effort to pull the high post to make a wall for Kobe.
After the latter borrowed the cover, he was also hit by the dry pull!
83 to 83!
At the MCI Center, Wizards fans who felt their hearts were about to jump out of their throats all looked at that man at the moment.
The man named Michael Jordan!
On the wing, looking at Kobe Bryant, who took the initiative to switch to him again and wanted to try to block his own attack, Jordan suddenly changed his dribbling rhythm after taking a deep breath.
Knock, knock!
Then, after dribbling the ball under the crotch twice in a row, in front of Kobe, Jordan pulled out his hand as if he had dreamed back to the past!
You don't have any wine, but I'm as drunk as a dog!
Hmmm——!
83 to 85!
At this moment, a lot of bad memories suddenly came to O'Neill's mind.
But after glancing at Kobe, O'Neal, who knew that he was by no means a "penny", immediately gave himself a slap in the face.
"You want me to block it...... Just give it to me...... Hit the code! Panting, looking at Kobe, O'Neal, who was already getting tired, said.
Bryant nodded.
At this moment, there is no need to say much.
Coming back, the Lakers attacked, looking at Kobe Bryant, who raised a finger after receiving the ball in the high post, O'Neal, who understood in an instant, rose to the high position again!
At this moment, O'Neill had no other thought in his mind, but to give his all-powerful little brother the idea of blocking Atai!
At the top arc, Artai tried to go around in advance, but Kobe Bryant reacted faster and went around his left side with a forward change of direction.
The three-point line took a step inside, and Kobe Bryant pulled out his hand again!
Also in it!
85 to 85!
TNT TV, Barkley, who felt that he couldn't breathe, sighed: "This is Kobe, this is the Lakers!" ”
On the bench of the Wizards, seeing this, Wang Shuo once again gave Boss Qiao a "you know" look.
On the side, Director Lu, who saw this scene, and the three Mikes hurriedly wrote it down in their small notebooks.
This is a must for you to become a top coach in the NBA.
On the court, it was still Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
However, just when people's attention was drawn to Jordan and Kobe......
The player who was supposed to be in charge of Fisher's defense suddenly disappeared from the field.
Fisher's fitness is really good.
But unfortunately, his opponent tonight is Richard Hamilton, the most patient on the Wizards.
In Hamilton's eyes, who sees the race as a long-distance runner, he doesn't care if Fisher can catch up with him before.
Because he knows that as long as he keeps running, no opponent can always watch him to death.
On the wing, Jordan, who skimmed Hamilton out of the corner of his eye, once again contributed to the divine operation, only to see that while he turned to the left side in a gesture, his big hands suddenly passed the basketball in the opposite direction!
High position, a little to the right of the top arc, the Wizards' No. 32 Hamilton, has been waiting for a long time!
Hmmm——!
85 to 88!
In front of the TV, LeBron-Young Jen, who was also watching the finals with his friends tonight, suddenly lit up!
Admittedly, Bryant and O'Neal's performances tonight were extremely moving.
But in the eyes of young Jen, the great Michael Jordan played team basketball!
The game continues, the Lakers have the ball!
Can Kobe Bryant still respond to the Wizards?
When ——!
On the court, this time under the marking of Artay, Kobe Bryant failed to hit.
But almost at the same time, the moment Kobe Bryant made a move, O'Neal turned and rushed to the Wizards' basket.
Although the mouth is hard.
But in fact, at this point in this game, O'Neal's most trusted person is Kobe.
It's just like he promised Kobe.
As Kobe's "big brother", he has to snatch that damn rebound back when Kobe misses.
This ball, O'Neal fulfilled his promise, and he managed to dial the rebound ball to the perimeter!
However, to O'Neal and Kobe's disbelief......
Fisher wasn't ready to catch the ball!
On the court, the quick-eyed Hamilton hurriedly cut the basketball that was not held by Fisher, and then went all the way down and hit a layup!
Get......
Now, even if Fisher can hit that 0.4-second kill in the future, he won't be able to save his image in the minds of Lakers fans this year.
But it's also absolutely unbeatable.
During Fisher's long career......
Remove his leveling phase......
The playoffs of the 01/02 season were really the most hip-pulling playoffs of his career.
In Wang Shuo's view, this may be due to the fact that the Lakers did not bring in a reliable backup guard last summer.
So what about the Lakers being overconfident in their prowess last summer?
On the court, Hamilton's five points for the Wizards became a watershed moment.
In the game, the Lakers, who were never able to bring that breath up, completely missed the opportunity to rewrite the outcome of this game.
In the last quarter, with O'Neal's efficiency dropping sharply, relying on Kobe Bryant alone, the lonely-struggling Lakers took the initiative to withdraw all their main forces 2 minutes before the end.
In the end, the final score of this game was 106-119.
In the whole game, Jordan made 12 of 23 shots, including free throws, and scored a total of 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Wizards.
Hamilton, who began to explode at the end of the third quarter of the game, shot 8-of-13 from the field, and the Wizards scored 22 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists on free throws and three-pointers.
After the game, looking at Hamilton, who saved the team tonight, Jordan finally said to him, what he had always wanted to hear, "When this season is over, are you willing to wear AJ to play in the new season?" ”
Hearing this, Hamilton replied excitedly: "Of course I do!" ”
In this game, Jordan knows very well how important it is for the Wizards.
Because if you really go away with a score of 1-1......
The 232 Finals format will be against the Wizards.
But now, as long as they can win one of the three away games, the Wizards are basically equivalent to winning the championship.
Without Hamilton's sudden outburst at the end of the third quarter, Jordan knew that the Wizards would likely have a rollover tonight.
Because it's not a secret......
The 39-year-old Jordan really felt a little tired in this game.
And the Lakers' side......
On the night when "OK" teamed up to score 81 points for the team......
Lakers fans are already panicking.
Because O'Neal and Kobe Bryant both played at this level, the Lakers failed to win......
So what else can be done?
Could it be that he really sent Fisher to the guillotine?
……
On the 9th, with only one day of rest and adjustment, the G3 match of the Finals between the Lakers and the Wizards was moved to the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Compared with when he visited the Staples Center in February, Wang Shuo's state of mind at the moment is obviously much calmer.
However, on this night, the Lakers, who were fighting against the water, forced out the same emoji as Wang Shuo's "Anilu Shock .jpg" on the sidelines.
No way.
In this game, O'Neal shot 17 of 28 from the field and 14 of 20 free throws in the cheers of the home fans, totaling 48 points for the Lakers, which not only set a new single-game scoring record for his personal playoff career......
And his 22 rebounds in the game was also the second-best performance in a single game of his playoff career.
In the face of such a terrifying "Brother Shak", in Wang Shuo's opinion, the wizard still has to give him some face.
In addition, as O'Neal's all-powerful little brother, Kobe, who slammed 34 times in this game, also scored 40 points for the Lakers, plus 9 rebounds and 3 assists.
In the face of "OK", they teamed up to score 88 points on this night.
The Wizards can only use one loss to show their high respect for this Lakers team.
At full time, the finishing score of the two teams was 108-112.
However, although the Wizards lost the game, Wang Shuo looked very happy after the game.
"Didn't we lose?" Seeing this, Mike Brown asked with a puzzled expression.
Looking at Brown, whose progress in enlightenment was far inferior to his own, D'Antoni smiled and said: "You don't understand, in this game, we have played the theoretical ceiling of the Lakers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But what about us?
So far in this series, we haven't said that any games have played particularly well. ”
On the side, Mike Malone also said to Brown: "And this series, the further we play, the better it will only be for us." ”
As of now, Boss Joe's average playing time in the Finals is only 36 minutes per game.
But what about "OK"?
With only 36 minutes played in the G1 game, O'Neal is currently averaging 40.7 minutes per game in the Finals.
Kobe Bryant, on the other hand, is a bit outrageous, and in the 144 minutes of the game that has been played so far, this thing has only rested for 4 minutes.
In the G3 battle, with willpower, "OK" can certainly spend that crushing physical pole on the field.
Can......
What about G4?
On the evening of the 12th, it was still the Staples Center.
It's just that it's different from the last time the two teams met......
After waiting for three games, in this game, the Wizards finally waited for Crawford's outburst.
In the first quarter of the game, the gap between the two teams was still not big.
With O'Neal scoring steadily for the Lakers, even if the Wizards blow up the rest of the Lakers, it is impossible to beat the Lakers as soon as they come up.
But the second quarter of the game, with Crawford's performance, began......
The Lakers' second lineup couldn't stand it on this night.
On the court, as soon as the second quarter came up, Crawford made it to the left wing and hit a three-point shot after shaking Fisher's center of gravity with a continuous crotch dribble.
Then, in the next round, after breaking into the penalty area with the help of Haywood's cover, in the face of Samaki Walker, Crawford threw his hand and hit again!
On the sidelines, looking at Crawford's unreasonable way of scoring, Wang Shuo, who wanted to kick him to death in the first three games, immediately changed his words: "I said a long time ago, Jamal is the super sixth man in our team." ”
However, Crawford's performance wasn't over yet.
On the court, after the Lakers failed to score, Crawford received the ball and pushed the counterattack, and chased Fisher for three points and then hit!
At this time, on the sidelines, Wang Shuo also changed his words again: "Jamal was not selected as this year's All-Star, which is definitely a big loss for the NBA!" ”
But you think that's the end of it?
The Lakers attacked, and after Kobe Bryant finally recovered two points, it was still Crawford!
Top arc, after skillfully sacrificing his "double back luck" ultimate, looking at Fisher, who was shaken down by himself on the floor of the Staples Center, Crawford cast a sympathetic gaze at him, and hit three points again!
On the sidelines, holding his head, he watched the "Zen master" who didn't even like to call a pause trotted all the way to the technical table to shoot a pause......
After a pause, Wang Shuo said: "I said a long time ago, Jamal has the potential to become a superstar!" ”
Crawford's outburst on the night not only laid a solid foundation for the Wizards to take the lead, but also raised the difficulty of the Lakers chasing points on the court again.
Unfortunately, on this night, "OK" was not able to reproduce the G3.
In the end, 118 to 100.
With the Washington Wizards storming the Staples Center, the Finals score came to 3-1......
In this era when the finals are 1-3 behind and there is no precedent for a turnaround, in people's minds, the Wizards have been crowned!
On the court, at the end of the game, looking at Kobe Bryant, who was on his knees and looking lonely on the court like himself, O'Neal did not blame Kobe for the balls he threw this night......
It's just that in his heart, O'Neal gradually came up with the idea that he had to bring two more helpers to this Lakers team this summer.
He was so tired.
Kobe Bryant was also too tired.
On the evening of the 13th, before the start of the G5 game between the Lakers and the Wizards, according to custom, because the Wizards had already won the match point, the O'Brien Cup, which symbolized the highest honor of the NBA team, also arrived in Los Angeles that night.
In addition, as the guest of honor for the MVP of the Finals, Bill Russell, the Lord of the Rings, also received an invitation from the league as usual and will attend this year's Finals G5 match.
On the 14th, at the Staples Center, which was filled with a desperate atmosphere, the Lakers, who were fighting every next game, and the Wizards, who were every match point in the next game, joined forces to kick off this G5 battle.
On the court, after the jump ball, the Lakers attacked first.
O'Neal, who is impossible and unwilling to give up, takes the lead for the Lakers through strong attacks on the inside.
0 to 2.
Come back, Wizards ball possession.
After spreading out at 122, just when it was thought that Gasol would pass the ball to Jordan as is customary, the curly-haired milk monster suddenly opened fire on the perimeter!
What a sudden cold arrow!
Swish!
3 to 2.
Lakers' offensive round.
O'Neal, who was quite uncomfortable by Gasol's three-pointer just now, fell into the low post and asked for the ball to play alone.
Bang, bang.
O'Neill scored easily, 3-4.
The Wizards attacked, and this time, O'Neal was clearly becoming more cautious when defending Gasol.
That is, he was too cautious, and when he noticed that Gasol was still about to steal chickens, he accidentally handed over his center of gravity.
On the sidelines, looking at Gasol, who dribbled past O'Neill in one step, Wang Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Xiao Yao will have to work hard next year, this 'sister-in-law' is evolving every day now!" ”
Under the basket, Gasol won the battle against Huashan!
5 to 4.
On the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson, who was offset by Gasol O'Neal's opening attack, immediately frowned.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Difficult.
It's just too hard.
Before the start of the Finals, who would have thought that with O'Neal scoring nearly 41 points per game for the Lakers in the Finals, the Lakers would be the side that fell behind by a big score of 1-3?
Admittedly, the main reason why O'Neal was able to play the best performance of his career in this series was because the Wizards were deliberately indulging him.
But......
If O'Neal can't beat the Wizards by averaging 41 points per game, who can win?
In addition, iron to iron, Kobe Bryant also has an average of 30+ per game in the playoffs this year.
With all that, can't the Lakers beat this Wizards?
In the VIP box at the Staples Center, Jerry Bass will be infinitely annoyed at the thought of Pauline's old smashing her disgusting face.
Why did you say he was ...... last summer? Why didn't you want to spend some more money to equip O'Neal and Kobe Bryant with more helpers?
Seeing that the dynasty of the hand is about to be gone......
Old Bas was immediately angry.
You know, the last time the Lakers won three consecutive championships in the NBA, it was back in the Minneapolis Lakers era.
Therefore, since playing old Buss to accept the Lakers, his biggest wish is that the Lakers can once again play three consecutive championships in the NBA.
Can......
Since the beginning of the "" era, the Lakers seem to be cursed.
Every time I am about to win three consecutive championships, I will always be a little bit worse.
On the bench of the Wizards, as the first quarter of tonight's game entered a stalemate, Wang Shuo, who was sitting back on the bench at this moment, didn't know what Old Buss was saying.
Otherwise he would have told Old Bass:
In fact, before he crossed, Old Bass still fulfilled this wish.
It's just that in this life......
Well......
It's not without chance!
After all, who knows what will happen in the future?
On the court, the stalemate continued until four minutes left in the first quarter.
In this game, the Wizards couldn't wait for Crawford's outburst.
It's not because Crawford didn't play well.
But before he even got on the court, Hamilton had already shot through the Lakers in the final minute of the first quarter.
Left bottom corner.
Right bottom corner.
Left 45 degree angle.
45 degree angle on the right side.
In the first quarter of the game, with Hamilton's four three-pointers in the final minute of the first quarter, the Wizards led 37-27 and entered the second quarter with a 10-point advantage.
In order to chase points, in this battle of life and death, Phil Jackson can no longer care about letting O'Neal rest.
On the Wizards' side, Wang Shuo, who didn't want to dream a lot at night, also chose to leave Jordan on the court.
On the court, the Wizards attacked first in the second quarter, and Jordan assisted Jackson on a three-point shot.
40 to 27.
Coming back, Kobe Bryant hit the iron, and Crawford didn't dare to mess around after dribbling past half court and handed the ball to Jordan.
Jordan stood on top of the arc and commanded the offense.
However, just when Wang Shuo thought that Jordan would pass the ball out after waiting for his teammates to settle down, Jordan .....
I actually voted!
"Am I right? Michael is just one meter away from the three-point line! Wang Shuo said with a look of surprise.
Admittedly, Jordan didn't completely miss out on three-pointers.
But like this ultra-long three-point ......
Anyway, this season, the lonely Wang Shuo has never seen it.
Hmmm——!
And the most important thing is that this goal actually went in!
On the court, Jordan himself was happy after hitting this three-pointer.
And the relaxed mentality of the "basketball god" at the moment is also in stark contrast to the always serious faces of O'Neal and Kobe.
At this moment, the Lakers fans have long since lost their hearts, and everyone is thinking about their own lives.
CCTV, Director Zhang also said: "If the Lakers can't chase the score back as soon as possible, then we have to congratulate the Wizards." ”
In fact, even if they fell behind by a big score, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were trying to get the game back.
But unfortunately, on this night, all the Wizards players were possessed by Iverson......
On the court, often O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have just scored on the front foot, and on the Wizards' side, someone will step up and score the "Answer.Ball".
Half-time is over.
On the scoreboard, 65 to 50.
After halftime, in the third quarter of the game, O'Neal, who once again reached a tacit understanding with Kobe, gave the Lakers' last hope to Kobe's three-point shot.
It's a good three-point barren......
Especially the three points in this period, anyway, it's quite casual.
Just like in the G2 battle, he can get up and go in a row.
But iron up, the same can always be iron.
On this night, God did not favor Kobe.
In the third quarter of the game, no matter how you look for it, Kobe Bryant, who can't find the switch of "God descends to earth", threw 9 three-pointers in this quarter, and only hit 2 of them......
In the fourth quarter of the game, it didn't take long for the "Zen Master", who knew that the general trend had gone, to take the initiative to withdraw all the main forces of the Lakers.
The last bit of decency was reserved for this defending champion.
At the end of the quarter, looking at the scoreboard that had already been stretched to 30 points away, holding the jersey, Kobe's face was full of unwillingness.
O'Neill, who was sitting on the bench with a towel over his head, could hide his depressed expression with a towel, but his heaving chest had already betrayed him.
Now, it's time for the Wizards to celebrate!
In the fourth quarter of the game, as the Wizards and Lakers both withdrew their main forces, Jordan's first action when he returned to the bench was to take a bucket of ice water and pour it off Wang Shuo's head.
In Miami, Riley, who was studying with his apprentice Spoelstra, saw this scene and immediately turned his head and said, "Eric, you should also go and pour yourself a bucket of ice water!" ”
Hearing this, Spoelstra instantly knocked out several small question marks.
No, teacher, why don't you pour yourself a bucket yourself?
At the Los Angeles scene, the Wizards' continues.
As a child growing up in a single-parent family, Stephen Jackson immediately dialed his mother's phone.
Pau Gasol, dressed in the Spanish flag, taught his teammates the Spanish bullfighting dance on the sidelines.
On the side, Jordan, who likes this dance very much, also danced.
I just don't know if the reason why Jordan likes this dance is because he wants to condense his old club, the Chicago Bulls.
Taking off his mask and looking up at the dome of Staples, Hamilton, who still couldn't believe that he was about to become an NBA championship player, couldn't hold back his tears and cried.
And with him hugging and crying, there is also a temperamental man who is embarrassed to avoid Hamilton from crying alone, Arenas.
Staples Center, blessed are the Lakers fans who continue to stay on the scene.
Because on the sidelines, Jackson and Atai also wore boxing gloves and performed a "professional boxing" for everyone.
As for Wang Shuo, after being poured a bucket of ice water by Jordan......
Extremely vindictive, he immediately asked for several bottles of champagne and shot at Jordan.
At this moment, after Jordan, who was shot all over his face, laughed, he knew that he wiped the champagne on his face with his big hands...... Or the "heroic tears" full of various emotions?
Of course.
The most celebratory moment is the moment when the Staples Center timer reaches zero.
On the scoreboard, 120 to 85.
TNT TV, accompanied by Kenny Smith's briefing, spread across the United States......
In the 01/02 season, the NBA welcomed its new king tonight!
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, let us give the Washington Wizards the 01/02 NBA championship with the warmest applause and cheers!"
