Chapter 232: The meaning of this game

Kobe beat Bell, Bell defended the ball well, and Nowitzki also assisted in the defense, Kobe was forced to stop the ball.
O'Neal saw it and reached for the ball inside.
If this is based on the cooperation of the two in the first three quarters, Kobe dangles the ball in, and O'Neal turns around, it is likely to be a dunk.
But Kobe didn't give it. He turned and leaned back facing the two defenses to the bottom line.
The ball is very difficult.
"Uh!"
But Kobe still threw the ball in!
Cheers erupted from the Staples Center.
Super personal offensive ability!
After the goal, Kobe glanced at Bale coldly, and then looked at Sun Hao.
The expression seemed to say, look, I am already the king of Los Angeles, and I play the key ball.
Sun Hao smiled, then gave Kobe a thumbs up.
"Kobe is really daring, and can really make it."
Zhang Weiping also sighed on the broadcast booth.
But as soon as he finished feeling emotional, Sun Hao made another three-pointer through the pick and roll outside.
"Hey! But look, this must be our little grandson!"
Zhang Weiping's conversation immediately turned.
Kobe continues to attack the frontcourt.
After the last goal was scored, the tree in his heart grew a bit bigger.
Nowitzki also continued to help defend, Kobe also continued to shoot in the double-team.
"when!"
It's a pity that the basketball hit the rim this time.
Lafrenz struggled to protect the defensive rebound.
The Mavericks counterattacked defensively, and the Lakers retreated a bit inactive.
Nowitzki followed up and received a pass from Nash in the fast break, and scoring also caused Kobe's foul!
The key 2+1!
He adjusted his breathing and made a penalty against interference!
After the penalty, Nowitzki stretched out his hand and punched, very excited.
102 to 106!
The Mavericks got a crucial 4-point lead.
Phil Jackson reached for a timeout.
There was a stir at the scene.
From the past few rounds, it can be clearly felt that the stalemate has begun to tilt towards the Mavericks.
This is the difference between Kobe and O'Neal's influence on the game.
If O'Neal deducted the ball in front, the morale of the Lakers would improve, and Nowitzki would not dare to save anymore.
After all, LaFrenz alone cannot prevent O'Neal at the basket.
But Kobe was trapped by the tree and lost in his own country.
Phil Jackson took Kobe and talked a lot.
After the timeout, the Lakers attacked the frontcourt again, and Kobe... gave the ball to O'Neal.
If the Lakers even Fisher can't control Kobe's thoughts, and there is one person left, then that person can only be Phil Jackson.
The facts also proved that he did it.
O'Neal stormed the basket, smashed Nowitzki, and smashed the ball into the rim with LaFrenz.
The referee also blew the whistle, and O'Neal returned a 2+1!
This offense is no one!
Sun Hao looked helpless.
This year, O'Neal saw fewer numbers and injuries, but his offensive dominance became stronger.
Or it can be described in that sentence.
O'Neal finally realized that he can dominate the basket offensively without relying on technology.
However, O'Neill's penalty is still not sure!
104 to 106!
The game, there is one last minute left!
The fans at the scene have all stood up, and this game has played a playoff taste.
"If the two teams encounter in the playoffs, it will be a wonderful series."
Zhang Weiping sighed when he saw this.
Su Qun on the side nodded.
The Kings, Lakers, Mavericks, and Spurs are basically the first echelon of the Western Conference this season. These four teams are paired in pairs, no matter which group will be very exciting.
The Mavericks attacked the frontcourt again, and Kobe began to defend Sun Hao.
Lafrenz's consecutive picks and rolls didn't have a chance.
Kobe's single defense ability is really strong.
In the last one-on-one between Sun Hao and Kobe, Kobe kept pushing Sun Hao to the left, and has been forcing him to shoot with a non-shooter.
Sun Hao suddenly felt that he was not the only one who played the game.
Before the game, Kobe asked him to play a super long three-pointer to test whether he can shoot with both hands!
Sun Hao's final shot was a bit difficult, and the basketball came out of the box.
O'Neal grabbed a defensive rebound.
The Lakers attacked the frontcourt and O'Neal played hard inside. Amid the shouts of old Nelson, LaFrenz fouled O'Neal directly.
This was the sixth personal foul of LaFrenz and was knocked off by O'Neal.
Bradley went on to replace Frentz and O'Neal went to the free throw line.
The scene was silent. At this time, it was O'Neal's performance at the free throw line.
O'Neal also looked a little nervous.
If there is one thing in the world that makes him nervous, it is only free throws.
He took a few deep breaths and then free throws.
The first penalty, hollow into the net!
Cheers broke out at the scene.
O'Neal also took a long breath.
In the second free throw, the ball went in after a knock on the basket!
O'Neal, made two free throws!
Earlier, O'Neal said that his free throws are not good, but the key free throws can always be scored. Now it seems that he is not completely bragging!
106 level!
Old Nelson called a timeout!
The shark-cutting tactic will not work for O'Neal tonight!
O'Neal himself was hilarious. When he left the field, he supported his hip with his left hand, touched the back of his head with his right hand, and then twisted his body.
The whistle was constantly on the scene.
O'Neill, this big treasure, is really beloved.
"Sun Hao is going to kill three points."
Zhang Weiping spoke directly at the broadcast booth.
Pause back, there are only 28 seconds left.
Sun Hao pressed the time in the front court until the last 8 seconds of the offensive time to launch the attack.
Old Nelson handed the key ball to Sun Hao to handle.
Lafrenz pulled out the pick and roll, but Kobe still bypassed.
After Sun Hao's last false jump, he retreated by three points.
Kobe still kept up.
This is a textbook type of offense and defense.
Sun Hao finally faced Kobe's difficult three-pointer with a slight fall back.
But even with such a difficult shot, Sun Hao's eyes were full of confidence.
Because it's different from the previous ball, this shot is a consistent shot.
Both of them drifted in the air, their eyes facing each other, and time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then Sun Hao threw the ball against Kobe.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the spinning basketball.
On one side of the court, Cuban's hand has clenched his fist.
"Uh!"
There was a crunch.
"Zhang Weiping's Law" reappeared and Sun Hao's lore goal was scored!
106 to 109!
The scene was in an uproar.
The Mavericks' bench is even more boiling.
However, there are 2.1 seconds left in the final game and the game is not over yet.
Phil Jackson called a timeout!
After the timeout, O'Neal was fouled as soon as the Lakers delivered the ball in the frontcourt!
Old Nelson's choice is the same as last year!
And this choice will actually involve a wave of endless discussions.
In history, this kind of leading 3-point active foul, successful, so that the opponent lost the opportunity to equalize the three-pointer, there are also rollovers, such as the Houston team.
Once the car overturned, the coach was absolutely sprayed as 250.
Of course, there are also those who are equalized by their opponents without fouling.
Similarly, after the game, the opposing coach was definitely sprayed with 250.
Regardless of the choice, winning or losing will be two completely different situations.
But there is nothing wrong with the old Nelson's choice.
Although O'Neal made all the first two answers, his overall free throw percentage is low.
And because of the lack of time, the Lakers have only one way to win after being fouled and sent to the free throw line.
Regardless of whether the first penalty is made or not, the second penalty must be deliberately missed, depending on the situation to tie or lore the game.
O'Neal's first penalty.
The scene was silent and the fans were nervous and speechless.
O'Neill punished him a little harder. This technique was like making him cook with a small pot, which really embarrassed him.
But the ball rolled out after a few bumps on the basket.
A lucky free throw, the Lakers are still 2 points behind!
Next, O'Neal must miss a penalty and the Lakers either equalize or seek a lore.
Because the Lakers did not time out, Phil Jackson once again demonstrated his unique whistle command.
A whistle that no one else understands at all, but the Lakers players already know it.
O'Neal's second penalty.
An intentional miss that was obviously not foul.
Yao Ming has had similar successful operations in Houston in history.
In terms of handwork, O'Neill and Yao Ming are both in the first gear among big men.
O'Neal got the rebound, but instead of directly attacking the frame, he threw the ball to Kobe on the left.
Bell rushed over at the first time, and Sun Hao also assisted in defending the past like Kobe did before, not giving him a shot on the side of his shooting hand.
Kobe was forced to turn around outside the three-point line, and time has not allowed him to make a complete shot.
After turning around, he held the ball in his left hand and threw it directly beyond the three-point line.
The ball was shot, and the red lights on the sidelines followed.
This is a shot that looks desperate.
However, after watching the familiar shot movement, Sun Hao already had a bad feeling.
"Uh!"
In the end, that bad hunch was fulfilled.
Kobe, left-handed one-handed three-pointer to complete the lore!
Zhang Weiping's law is still valid, but this time Kobe completed the anti-lore.
The final score on the field was 110 to 109.
The Lakers O'Neal scored 35 points, 21 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Kobe Bryant had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists.
The Mavericks Sun Hao had 30 points and 6 assists, Nowitzki had 26 points and 9 boards, Finley had 19 points, and Wang Zhizhi had 8 points and 4 boards.
The Lakers players have already rushed onto the court, including many fans from the sidelines.
Kobe raised his hands and cheered, and O'Neal went up to hug him for the first time.
The OK combination played a classic match that went down in history.
The scene was also playing back the ball just now. When Kobe made a left-handed shot, Cuban was already smiling and shaking his head on the sidelines.
It is impossible for this ball to appear a second time, but it does leave opponents speechless.
Sun Hao took a long breath.
Although winning or losing is commonplace in the military, winning or losing in the regular season is not enough.
However, in this game, Sun Hao learned a lot from Kobe.
Or in other words, this game also gave him a new training content.
He has to practice his left hand.
Only by opening the bow with the left and right hands, can one's offensive threat be increased.
After the game. The two teams held the final handshake.
"You played very, very well, we just had better luck."
O'Neal is really good at being a man.
He completely dominated the inside in this game, but he can still say such things.
Maybe only after a few years, Kobe will realize that being able to become teammates with O'Neal is the luckiest thing in his career.
In the press conference after the game, Nelson took the initiative to take responsibility.
"It was my choice to make the team lose."
Just like the analysis in the game, as long as you lose, you have to choose whatever you choose.
"This game is very meaningful to us. We have proved that we have the ability to compete for the championship, but we still have a lot of room for improvement."
But Sun Hao's words are the best summary.
They said before the game whether they have the strength to chase the championship, not necessarily to win the game.
Because they have been back and forth with the Lakers.
Even if it wasn't for Kobe's incredible left-handed three-pointer in the end, the victory already belongs to the Mavericks.
Therefore, they have the ability to play against the Lakers.
Moreover, like the previous loss to the Celtics, this will make them play harder in the subsequent games.
After all, half of the regular season has not passed, and maintaining a mentality is a very important part of the season.
At the end of the press conference, Sun Hao and Nowitzki returned to the locker room.
Although they lost, the Mavericks players looked pretty good.
"My fault, I didn't prevent him."
Bell also took the initiative to take responsibility.
"Don't blame yourself, he won't make a second shot like that. You have defended well."
As the leader of the locker room, Esley also went to comfort Bell.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Sun Hao felt that this loss also made the Mavericks more united in another aspect.
Of course, this is at the player level.
After the press conference, the old Nelson was called to the office by Cuban.
The two talked about the details of the game and the changes that the team needed.
"We need a big guy, a big guy who can fight against Shaq."
In this game, even though zone defense has been used, the Mavericks are still exhausted in the face of O'Neal after gaining weight.
The old Nelson also agreed with Cuban's view this time.
During the offseason, the Mavericks' goals were aimed at the Spurs with revenge.
But under the new rules, they found that the results exceeded their expectations.
Revenge of the Spurs is more than their goal~EbookFREE.me~ They want a championship.
Just as Sun Hao said at the press conference, although they lost this game, they have already proved that they have that strength.
However, it is still very unsafe.
In this game, Wang Zhizhi came out, Sun Hao felt hot, and the dual-core performed well. Even the tree planted by Sun Hao worked, but the Mavericks did not win it in the end.
And this is just the regular season. By the playoffs, the Lakers will only get stronger.
So the Mavericks must be reinforced, and it is a targeted reinforcement.
A big man who can carry O'Neal is definitely the first choice.
In fact, Nelson also tried to use rookie Collins in the game, but it was not very useful.
In addition to tonnage, this big man must have some experience.
Such big men are scarce in the league.
