When O'Neal came off, Stan Van Gundy made a roughly partner with Haslem to guard the interior.

Kobe Bryant held the ball in the front court with the help of blocking and dismantling, misplaced and forced the penalty area, and against Haslem, who assisted in the defense, scored the ball with a difficult pull-up layup.

"Huh!"

"Beep!"

The whistle of the first assistant referee blew, 2+1.

Without O'Neal's defense, the Heat's restricted area defense is indeed a notch weaker.

Kobe Bryant walked to the free throw line with a resolute gaze, revealing a cold fighting spirit all over his body.

Although the team was trailing by nearly 30 points and there were only a few dozen seconds left in the third quarter, he clearly did not give up the game.

O'Neal's departure also clearly gave the Lakers hope of a comeback, even if that hope was very slim.

"Huh!"

Kobe Bryant, who walked to the free throw line, also hit a free throw and hit a 3-pointer.

With this 2+1 in hand, Kobe Bryant has also scored 35 points tonight, the highest in the team, which is almost the same as Lin Fei's 39 points.

It's just that Lin Fei's 39 points only counted 9 shots, 9 of 9 three-pointers, and 12 of 12 free throws, which can be said to be the highest efficiency in history.

Bryant's 35 points were 28 shots and 13 shots, including eight free throws.

For Kobe Bryant this season, tonight's offensive efficiency is already very good.

Even if Lin Fei worked very hard in defending Kobe Bryant, he also showed a strong single defense ability, but tonight's Kobe Bryant was like crazy, and he really couldn't hold it.

Turning back to the Heat's offense, Jason Williams drove the ball forward.

Without O'Neal, the Lakers' defensive energy is more focused on the outside, which makes it difficult for Lin Fei to receive the ball.

Coupled with a 26-point lead after all, the main players of the Heat team are also starting to become slack mentally.

Jason Williams broke through to Haslem, who avoided Odom and jumped for a dunk.

But there was a posture flashing in the oblique stab, and his teeth were clenched and his eyes were cold, it was Black Mamba Kobe.

"Smack!"

Bryant jumped up with his long arms to cover the sky and the sun, and directly misplaced and gave Haslem a diagonal stab block.

The basketball bounced off the tempered rebound and was taken by Odom, and the Lakers quickly launched a counterattack.

There were only nine seconds left until the end of the third quarter.

The Lakers' counterattack came quickly, although Lin Fei was chasing Kobe Bryant, but Caron Butler quickly shook off Battier, entered the front court and received Odom's pass, and flew into the restricted area to make a quick dunk.

"Boom!"

Lin Fei ran back on the bottom line to receive the serve, turned over and quickly threw a whistle far away, the red light lit up, and the basketball bounce frame missed.

The third quarter ended.

Originally, this kind of ultra-difficult end of the festival was super far, Lin Fei had no need to throw, after all, he still had a 100% hit rate before.

But now that there is an opportunity and the ball comes to his hand, no matter how difficult it is, shooting is Lin Fei's first choice, and even if it is this kind of ultra-long shot of more than 24 meters,

Lin Fei's shooting rate in the game can also reach about 33%, and he can score one of almost 3 shots, which is indeed terrifying.

You must know that many players do not have a normal three-point shooting rate of 33%, and Kobe Bryant's three-point shooting rate in the new season is only 33.9%.

Heat (89) :(65) Lakers.

After O'Neal left the court, under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers chased five points in less than a minute, narrowing the gap of 29 points to 24 points.

But it will still be very difficult for the Lakers to recover 24 points in the final quarter, even if Wade and O'Neal will not play in the final quarter.

But at least with O'Neal's injury, Lakers fans at home see hope that tonight's Christmas game will turn around in the final quarter.

In the away dressing room, the team doctor was still massaging Wade's knees and calves as he lay on the bed.

Wade has a significant contusion to his knee, and although there is no structural damage, the team doctor still advised the Heat coaching staff to rest Wade for 1-2 weeks.

O'Neal was not completely grounded by Chris Meme, but only stepped on the edge of the opponent's instep, and only slightly sprained his ankle, and he was fully ready to return for the next game.

"Leading by 24 points in the final quarter, with Lin here, we can't be reversed by the Lakers, it seems that this kid is going to hit the next 50+ game tonight!"

Watching the live broadcast of the game on the TV screen on the wall, Wade, who was lying on the bed, was full of envy, he had never won a 50+ game in his career!

O'Neill was more concerned about Wade's injury and advised:

"Dwayne, you kid play more leisurely in the future, don't take your body too seriously, especially your knee, this small injury is lucky!"

"If you keep playing with such a strong style, sooner or later there will be big problems, Xuexuelin, I feel like he can play in the league for at least 20 seasons!"

Wade shook his head and sighed lightly: "If I can practice Lin's accurate shooting, even if it is half as accurate as him, I don't have to fight so hard, my style of play is really hard to change!" ”

After the start of the final quarter, Stan Van Gundy asked Lin Fei and Jason Williams to temporarily rest on the bench off the court.

The huge advantage of 24 points emboldened the Heat coaching staff and made them more bold in hiring.

On the Lakers' side, it was completely different, Tomjanovic and Kobe Bryant reached a consensus to take advantage of the Heat's two big players to retire in the final quarter and launch a final counterattack.

At the end of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant had played for 33 minutes, but he still did not rest for a minute in the final quarter, which was obviously desperate to reverse the score.

Without Lin Fei's defense and alignment consumption, Kobe's energy at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends seemed to increase instantly, and he flew up on the defensive end to steal Damon Jones' pass.

In the counterattack, the backup quarterback Shanton Anderson, who was against the rebound, hit a strong layup.

"Huh!"

"Beep!"

The whistle blows again, 2+1.

This time, the first assistant referee who blew the Heat for a defensive shooting foul is still the first assistant referee, he is a white man in his forties, named John Osman, who has been on the NBA referee for five years.

Tonight's first deputy referee's several blows were more controversial, which also made Stephen Jiawei, as the head referee, slightly dissatisfied and confused.

However, the Lakers are so far behind at home, and it is understandable that they should take proper care of the penalty blow, so Stephen Jiawei didn't say much.

"Huh!"

Kobe Bryant, who walked to the free throw line, hit a free throw, and he has scored 38 points tonight, plus 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and his performance is quite comprehensive.

In Kobe's case, many Lakers fans are worried about the future of the team, but there are also many fans who are loyal fans of Kobe, believing that Kobe Bryant can quickly grow into a super quarterback like Jordan.

The absence of the Heat triumvirate at the same time made the team's offensive level drop by a few notches in an instant.

Damon Jones played the ball to Haslem in the low post, who missed Odom's shot and the rebound was protected by the Lakers.

Bryant came to the offensive end to face substitute Shanton Anderson again, and this time Damon Jones took the initiative to wrap Bryant, but still couldn't limit Bryant's step-back jumper.

"Huh!"

Another one.

In less than 1 minute, Bryant scored 5 points in a row, leading the Lakers to quickly chase the difference to 19 points.

The Staples Arena resounded with cheers and screams from the Lakers fans at home, and many fans even shouted MVP!

"It seems that there is a drama in the reversal, Lao Ke is crazy, no one can stop it!"

"Is the Heat so calm? Why don't you hurry up to the forest? ”

"Dwayne and Shaquille are sure they won't fight again tonight, right? Lin also played a lot of time after the third quarter, after all, he is an Asian player, and no matter how good his physical fitness is, he is much worse than that of blacks, and it is estimated that he will have to rest for at least 3 minutes! ”

"Come on, old Corvo, hurry up and score! It's 40 points now, and it seems that getting 50+ won't be a problem! ”

"The Heat are all supported by the Big Three, and the other bench players are really not good!"

Lin Fei and Jason Williams, who were sitting on the bench on the side of the Heat, were not too nervous.

Although Bryant quickly started chasing points on the court, the two still believe that returning to the court after the break can stabilize the situation for the team.

Head coach Stan Van Gundy also did not intend to let Lin Fei play early, at least let him rest for 3-4 minutes.

But the players and coaching staff on the Heat's side obviously underestimated Kobe's determination to chase points.

Battier's empty three-point shot in the bottom corner still missed, and the Lakers protected the rebound and counterattacked the fast break, and the high-hit Kobe Bryant directly shot a three-pointer from the outside.

"Bang dang!"

Although the ball missed, the long rebound was grabbed again by Kobe Bryant, who rushed up, and jumped up from the top defender, and grabbed the explosive dunk from the investment.

"Boom!"

The Heat benches were obviously a little stunned, and Damon Jones' baseline serve was also stealed by Caron Butler, and Kobe Bryant, who was placed at a 45-degree angle on the right side, made a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

The three points are finally there.

Although Kobe Bryant has scored 45 points tonight, he did not shoot well in three-pointers, and this is only the second three-pointer he hit tonight.

With Kobe Bryant's explosive performance of scoring 10 points in 2 minutes, the Lakers played a crazy 10:0, and the difference was quickly chased to only 14 points.

Stan Van Gundy, for his part, finally couldn't sit still and quickly called a long timeout.

On the timer, there were 10 minutes and 02 seconds left until the end of the final quarter.

Heat (89) :(75) Lakers.

After O'Neal was padded to the court at the end of the third quarter, the Heat team did not score a point, and the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant blasted a terrifying 15:0.

There was no way, Stan Van Gundy could only let Lin Fei and Jason Williams play early to stabilize the team's situation.

In front of the live commentary stage, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith also applauded the suspense of the regained victory and defeat in this game:

"There's no doubt that Kobe Bryant is one of the best shooting guards in the league and he's better than Allen Iverson in terms of versatility on both ends of the floor!"

"Kobe Bryant has already scored 45 points with a shooting rate of more than 50% tonight, and judging from the current situation, Peter Pan is likely to play a crazy performance of 50+!"

"It turns out that Lin's defense of Kobe Bryant is still very good, and once he is not there, Kobe's outburst will come unexpectedly!"

"The point difference has been chased to 14 points, and after this timeout, Lin and Jason will inevitably play early, but without Dwayne and Shaquille, Lin will inevitably be targeted by tighter defense!"

"Will he be able to continue his amazing three-point shot? Let's wait and see! ”

On the court, the timeout soon came back and the Heat attacked.

Lin Fei ran on the outside, summoned a cover that was roughly raised, dislocated to open the distance with Kobe, and faced Odom, who came up with a change of defense.

But at this time, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded unexpectedly.

"Beep!"

First assistant referee John Osman gestured for a foul to move roughly to cover the foul.

Roughly feeling innocent, he spread his hands and shook his head and sighed softly, in fact, his footsteps did move slightly sideways when he was covering, but it was very hidden.

And throughout the game, this slight degree of mobile cover, the referee will not pay too much attention to the person without the ball at all, so it will basically not be blown off.

But now at the critical moment, the referee instead targeted the Heat's mobile cover on the blowing penalty, which surprised the players.

Stan Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, also protested to the assistant referee who blew the whistle, which was clearly the home whistle.

The ball was converted, the Lakers attacked, and the crazy Kobe Bryant was indeed difficult to be prevented, with his back to Lin Fei at the top of the arc, his continuous footsteps swayed, and he turned over and leaned back in one go, and his jump shot was picturesque.

"Huh!"

Another two-pointer, Kobe Bryant has scored 47 points.

"Lin, this is our home stadium, it's not that simple to win!"

Kobe Bryant, who was retreating, kept clenching his teeth, his face was covered with sweat, but his eyes were as sharp as a sword.

Lin Fei knew he had to stand up.

On the offensive end, Lin Fei relied on two consecutive outside covers to run away from Kobe, and quickly asked Jason Williams for the ball with the fleeting opportunity.

But the Lakers' defensive intensity was noticeably up, with Atkins pestering Jason Williams and Caron Butler quickly rushing up to cut off the passing lanes and knocking out "White Chocolate's" adventurous pass.

Kobe Bryant shook off Lin Fei and rushed straight to the frontcourt, received Butler's pass and then hit the penalty area and sent another dunk.

"Boom!"

Jason Williams' passing is gorgeous, but at key moments of the game, the mental quality is still not up to the level of a top point guard, and the error rate of passing under the bag will also increase.

The Heat struggled on the offensive end, roughly covering with Haslem's high elevator door, and this time were whistled for a screen foul by the assistant referee, and the ball was once again in the hands of the Lakers.

Stan Van Gundy clearly saw the first assistant referee's target, couldn't hold back any longer on the sidelines, and roared directly.

"Watts? Is this going to be blown too? ”

Unexpectedly, the next moment, assistant referee John Osman's strange operation struck again, and he whistled directly at Stan Van Gundy, the head coach of the Heat, on the sidelines: expel immediately!

It was only because of a roar from Big Van Gundy that the assistant referee expelled the head coach directly.

Big Van Gundy was stunned, his eyes were round in disbelief, but he could only angrily slam the tactical board on the ground and walk towards the player's tunnel without looking back.

As a veteran driver with many years of experience, Stan Van Gundy clearly sensed that something was wrong with the assistant referee, and that this could not be a simple home whistle, there was definitely something wrong with it.

The head coach was ejected, and No. 1 assistant coach Spoelstra could only coach temporarily, and the Heat players were obviously shaken by the morale of the army.

On the court, the Lakers took advantage of the situation to attack one more, and Kobe Bryant broke through the bottom corner of the assist and Butler hit a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The difference came to 7 points in an instant.

Wade and O'Neal are two big players who are injured, head coach Stan Van Gundy is expelled at a critical moment, the Lakers chase the difference to 7 points, Kobe's explosion, Lin Fei's difficulty in receiving the ball on the offensive end, coupled with the frenzied atmosphere at home,

Everything started to turn against the Heat, and interim coach Spoelstra hurriedly called another long timeout, knowing that the players had to be calm and calm in this situation.

"Oh my God, I thought that this Christmas battle was out of suspense early, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting, in the last 8 minutes, we chased only 7 points left, and the reversal was completely dramatic!"

"As long as we can prevent Lin from killing as much as possible and don't let him catch the ball, we definitely have a chance to complete the reversal, which is a difference of 29 points at the most, and it would be amazing if we could really reverse it!"

Feeling the cheers and noise of the Lakers fans at home, Lin Fei suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders become heavier.

Wade and O'Neal are not there, and neither is the head coach, so whether he can hold on to the victory at the last minute is up to him.

In the five sets of live broadcast rooms of the Heavenly Empire, Director Zhang was choked by the assistant referee's target, and couldn't help but say angrily:

"There is definitely something wrong with this assistant referee, and he continues to blow penalties against our cover, which is obviously deliberate!"

"I hope that the league headquarters can conduct a strict investigation after the game, and the NBA's referee gambling incidents have been repeatedly banned in recent years!"
