The Celtics were bloodbathed by the Lakers in the last game in Los Angeles, and the frustrated Bird directly shouted that his teammates were "wives" in training. So Kevin McHale decided to make a real foul in the game. As a result, when the Lakers were still six points ahead of the Celtics and Rambis was about to layup with the ball, McHale came to Rambis. A foul on the clothesline caused him to knock him to the ground.
Today, Chris Anderson is doing exactly the same thing as McHale. The difference is that it is not the finals. At the same time, McHale has always declared after the game that this was not premeditated, and he did not expect the offender to be so serious. As for whether this is the case, only McHale knew it in his heart. There is a deliberate suspicion of Anderson's violation of the rules. For the Celtics, how to find ways to destroy Kobe's state is a must. O'Neal can use the penalty area to limit, but Kobe opened it is very scary.
In short, McHale’s foul caused the Los Angeles Lakers to become timid and lose their spirit in the subsequent game. Finally, Larry Bird hit a fatal key goal in overtime. Not only did he lose the game, but also the finals. In the end, he lost the finals and lost the championship.
And Chris Anderson's foul, the two sides almost broke into conflict, and then he was convicted of a malicious foul and went straight off the field. Kobe stood on the free throw line, made two free throws, and the difference between the two sides opened up again. The Celtics' best player in this game is no longer there. No matter how you look at it, this is a stupid foul, but Leon is not in a hurry. He replaced Wang Zhizhi to replace Anderson, and the Celtics will launch a final counterattack.
Wang Zhizhi has played a role as a surprise player in the last few games. A 7-1 three-point shooter is so unique that no team has any ‘sexual’ approach to him.
The same is true for the Lakers. When Wang Zhizhi and Grant Long formed the team's inside line, O'Neal became unguarded for a while. He could neither stay at the basket nor jump out to defend directly, he could only embarrassedly. Stand near the free throw line and stick it there like a'gate' god.
After Wang Zhizhi came on the court, he did not immediately play a role and hit the three-pointer, but he undoubtedly involved the Lakers' defense on the court. When there was no one inside the Celtics, the Lakers' defense was extremely flat. As a result, Malik Cili relied on his rich experience to run back again. Wang Zhizhi caught the ball and slammed the ball and assisted Cili to make a layup.
The defensive paralysis of the Lakers throughout the game, they have no way to have super defensive explosive power like the year before, they do not have Grant, without Ron Harper, their defensive experience and talents are greatly regressed. Phil Jackson has nothing to do with this. He can't remember that this is the first time in this game that the Celtics have used this method to penetrate the defense and easily score. This also reminds O'Neal of being caught many years ago. The fear dominated by the two elders of Utah.
Jackson blew a loud whistle to the players, reminding everyone to be ‘energized’. This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly in the past three years. Every time he does this, the Lakers will wake up and take the next offense or defense seriously.
At this time, O'Neal is taking a position at the basket, because the person defending him is Wang Zhizhi. But Kobe, the ball-handler, didn't pass the ball. He chose to shoot directly outside the three-point line!
In the miss, Williams grabbed a backcourt rebound. This time they will no longer dare to play offensive positions. In the last quarter, they must counterattack!
Williams ran with the ball, Kobe sticked up like a brown sugar, he passed the ball to Alexander, Alexander continued to rush, under the basket to Brian Shaw, he suddenly divided the ball to the right 45 degrees, standing outside the three-point line Wang Zhizhi who is unguarded!
With a huge open space, O'Neal couldn't possibly chase this place. Wang Zhizhi made a three-pointer calmly, the ball drew a high arc, and then hollowed into the net!
After the goal, Wang Zhizhi clenched his fists and roared. Now he is becoming more and more confident. Even the moment he takes the shot, he knows that he will definitely be able to score the goal, because in this place, such counterattack tactics have been practiced in training. countless times. The speed of running, the observation in the process, the angle of shot, every point has been corrected by Leon, and everything is natural.
The 9-point difference was suddenly reduced to four. The Lakers suddenly became precarious. Their morale was completely overwhelmed by the Celtics. Although they still have a two-point advantage, they still have the most in the league. The strong center and the best shooting guard are forced to be like this by a team like this. Whether they win or lose, this game will become a footnote to the Lakers' bad state this season.
But no matter what, they still have to fight to win. If they lose, they will be ashamed. Less than five minutes before the end of the game, at this time, the Celtics finally began to slash the shark completely.
Wang Zhizhi just threw a three-pointer and immediately gave O'Neal a warm hug. Coupled with the previous fouls by the Celtics, their total number of fouls has reached four. O'Neal is about to stand on the free throw line. .
O'Neal said that he might not make a normal free throw, but he would make a free throw at a critical moment. Perhaps a four-point lead is not a critical moment for the Lakers. O'Neal, who has already scored 30 points, missed two free throws again. This was the fifth and sixth goal he missed from 9 free throws in the game. .
And the Lakers can't grab offensive rebounds because their best offensive rebounder is standing at the free throw line.
The Celtics, who had backcourt rebounds, once again fought back two quick counterattacks. Although this group of players were only substitutes, Leon did not relax the requirements of anyone in daily training, including simulation training without the ball. How stupid you are, you must participate in this exercise. This allows the Celtics players to have a good understanding.
This time, O'Neal learned well. He started to stare at Wang Zhizhi, but Alexander would no longer pass the ball to Wang Zhizhi who was defended. He'handed' the ball to Derrick Williams, who made a jump shot after receiving the ball. , The ball missed, but Malik Ciri, who was following up, got an offensive rebound and made a tip-up from the basket.
Malik Ciri, a player who was almost destroyed by a car accident, was still able to grab offensive rebounds for the team at a critical moment. Leon also applauded him, and Jackson was furious.
The Zen master finally couldn't help it. He jumped up from the bench and called a timeout to the referee while holding up the tactical board in his hand. The players started yelling at everyone on the sidelines before they got off the court. Leon, on the other hand, did not rush or slow down, and high-five every player who came off the court to encourage everyone to play well.
Although there is no Chris Anderson, Anderson used his own self-sacrifice to make the Celtics' cohesion on the court reach an unprecedented state. After experiencing the stalemate in the most half of the game, this group of substitutes has completely gone psychologically. With the fear of the Lakers, they have built up the confidence of the winner.
And the Lakers fell into a strange circle in the last few minutes, are they going to play O'Neal? If you go to O'Neal, the Celtics will cut him, no matter who it is, there is no foul trouble. O'Neal's free throw tonight was bad enough. If not for O'Neal, the Celtics will have a complete rebound on the Lakers today, and Kobe is not in good shape.
When the timeout was over, O'Neal was replaced, and Kobe seemed to have left a shadow on Anderson's foul. He tried again to miss a jumper from the outside, and the Celtics counterattacked and missed, but grabbed the front. Rebounding, passing the ball to the outside, Wang Zhizhi hit a three-pointer again, and when he overtook the score, Staples seemed to have become a big graveyard.
Jackson had to replace O'Neal again, and the Celtics fouled him immediately. This time, O'Neal made two free throws to tie the score.
But on the defensive end, the Lakers can no longer stop the offensive Celtics, the confidence of this group of bench players is fully established, everyone can score, and they are very difficult mid-to-long range shots. , Open your hands.
The situation that made David Stern unimaginable just appeared~EbookFREE.me~ With one minute away from the end of the game, the Celtics led the Lakers by five points with 89:84! And the offense is still in the hands of the Celtics.
Stern didn't know what to say to the sponsors, he could only explain: "This is the charm of basketball."
When the Celtics ran out of 24 seconds on the offensive end and relied on Malik Ciri to hit a mid-range, the score difference came to 7 points. The main players on the Celtics bench began to cheer. Won the victory!
At this time, Fox Leon sat back on the bench. He took out a cigar from the inner pocket of his clothes, lit it casually and started smoking.
The NBA site has long been banned, but Leon didn’t know when he sneaked in with a cigar. At the home court in Los Angeles, in front of more than 20,000 Lakers fans, in front of David Stern, in front of the Lakers. In front of the players, like Auerbach at the time, the cigar of victory was lit!
The big screen on the scene gave the Celtics bench, the audience booed, and the game was suspended again. The referee on duty directly gave Leon a technical foul and expelled him!
But the victory has already come.
