Chapter 338: Decisive quarter 3 (2-?)

Pulling the four sides apart, Kobe hunched the ball and faced Lagabe, like a viper waiting for an opportunity.
This is not the first time Bell and Kobe have met in the Finals. As early as 2001, when Bell was still playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. In his first NBA season, he was lucky enough to reach the Finals with the team. , Their opponent is the Lakers.
Of course, luck does not always accompany Bell. As early as 1999, he participated in the NBA draft, but on that starry draft night, he still had no one to care about and unfortunately lost. After he mixed in the low-level leagues, he was finally selected by the Spurs to sign a short contract in 2000. After that, he failed to play and was transferred to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Although he didn't have much performance in the 76ers' regular season, he still entered Larry Brown's Sixers playoff roster. What Brown liked was Bell's defensive endeavor and talent.
By the time of the Finals, in limited playing time, Bell knew what talent is. He is facing Kobe.
Kobe was 22 years old that year. He played in the NBA for 5 seasons, was selected to the All-Star 3 times, 1 All-Defensive First Team, and 1 All-Defensive Second Team. In the 2000-2001 season, he averaged 28.5 points per game, making him one of the best backcourt scorers in the league.
And that year, Lagarbelle was 24 years old, two years older than Kobe, was out of the draft, did not play a full NBA season, the number of appearances and playing time are negligible, averaging 1 point, no honor, no any Fame. Entering the Finals with the 76ers won't make any difference. He is not thinking about how to win a championship for the 76ers, but where he should go next.
In the extremely limited playing time, Bell and Kobe have had a few teams. It is nothing to do. Kobe can easily score, pass and pass on Bell. The relationship between them is like the Lakers and 76ers that year. , One side is powerful and suffocating, while the other side is left with unyielding spirit.
After Bale left the 76ers and was photographed by the Mavericks, where he found his place, and that season he and the Mavericks reached the Western Conference finals. In the summer of 2003, he became a free agent and received a recruitment from the Celtics. He hesitated and agreed, because their head coach was Fox Leon.
When he was struggling in the lower leagues after losing the draft, it was the recommendation of Leon's scout team that he got the short contract from the Spurs, because Leon and the Spurs player director Presti had a good relationship. This small fate allowed him to finally settle in Boston, and once again entered the Finals with the Celtics this season. It can be said that Bell has been playing for a championship-level team since entering the NBA, which gives him a strong Will quality.
Now, he is facing Kobe again, time has passed for 3 years, Kobe has experienced ups and downs and hardships, is still a superstar, and Bell is still an ordinary role player, but he knows that he is no longer 3 years The former player who played in the insignificant time is an important piece of coach Leon.
This time, he will never back down, no matter what skill Kobe uses to torture him, his heart will not be shaken in the slightest.
"Kobe, try to go to the right, Bell is very close to the ground, Kobe throws away Bell, but Bell takes the ball from behind... The two people made a ball... scrimmage, scrimmage." Brin is very It's hard to believe that Kobe has already surpassed Bale with this ball, but Bale can even knock out the ball in Kobe's hand from behind and create a scrimmage.
Both fell to the ground, and Garnett immediately stepped forward and pulled Bell up with Pierce, but only Fox came up and pulled Kobe on the Lakers' side, and the two squatted.
Obviously, Kobe didn't expect that Bell could still destroy the attack from behind. He was still a little careless, thinking that he would be foolproof after passing Bell.
The two stood in the free throw circle to compete for the ball. Bell was not Kobe’s opponent regardless of bounce, speed or strength, but when the ball was thrown to the highest point, he still grabbed the ball with the tip of his right hand before Kobe. Dialed in Garnett's direction, Garnett stretched his arms and took the ball into his arms.
"Garnett made a long pass, Arenas got the ball, Paul Pierce caught the ball in the center and got a layup! I think Phil Jackson is about to call a timeout."
The Celtics once again completed a beautiful fast break. Arenas received a pass from the wing and then passed it to the center with a pass to Pierce who cut in. Pierce easily succeeded in the left hand layup. Has been opened to 7 points, this is the biggest difference in the game so far.
However, Phil Jackson insisted not to call a timeout. He believes that a timeout will not solve the problem. Players need to solve the dilemma on the court by themselves, otherwise they will not be able to beat the Celtics.
This time the Lakers’ offense did not give Kobe a single person. They arrived at O’Neal. When O’Neal had a good offensive position in the low post, the behemoth was very terrible. He turned around with a powerful back and completed a one on Brown’s head. One-handed heavy buckle.
"The Lakers still rely on O'Neal to break the scoring shortage, but if they can't defend the Celtics offense, then..." Brin hasn't even had time to finish his words, the Celtics' counterattack has already been pushed halfway. field.
Leon's tactics in the midfield are very clear. Since Reid is not on the court and missing an outside holding point, he will make two quick counterattacks and use a high-speed offense to bring down the clunky, old Lakers.
Arenas’s legs are like hot wheels, running non-stop, and running with him are the Celtics guards, Bell replaced the role of Reed's feint attacker, and began to ambush in the corner. , And Pierce is wandering near Arenas. Once Arenas passes the ball, he can directly hold the ball with a screen.
Garnett has done his job on the pivot point, playing a role in quickly distributing the ball near the top of the arc, and if given the opportunity, he will also use a jumper to hit the Lakers' defense.
While talking, Arenas broke through to the basket, then turned around and passed the ball to Garnett. Garnett gave Pierce the ball. Pierce received the ball and made a false shot. Then he stopped and made a jumper.
The Celtics' fast-paced offense makes Kobe feel unbearable. He can't watch the team lose points like this, but he can't defend five people alone. In that case, he can always beat five people alone.
"Give me the ball!" Kobe shouted at the serving Fox. Fox gave the ball to Kobe at the bottom line. Kobe took the ball and ran all the way with luck.
Bell is like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to Kobe tightly, until Kobe slows down outside the three-point line, and Bell also slows down. In short, he is entangled in Kobe.
"A clingy shit." Kobe couldn't help cursing between holding the ball. Kobe rarely said trash during the game, but this time he couldn't help it. The faceoff just made him very embarrassed. , And now he sticks to himself and feels bad.
Obviously, Kobe is a bit anxious. It’s not that he has not encountered such a high-intensity defense. When his mind is calm, he can deal with these difficult opponents with ease, but once his mind is out of balance, he wants to score as soon as possible and think of FMVP. It's all different.
Kobe chose to force a shot from outside the three-point line. He wanted to grab a three-pointer, but the ball hit the front of the rim. Arenas grabbed the long rebound. He dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack.
But when Arenas was preparing for a layup~EbookFREE.me~ Kobe fell from the sky and hit the ball from Arenas' hands, a beautiful chase.
"This guy is really fighting, but it's a pity that he missed a place..." Leon watched Kobe as he pursued his life without hesitating his energy, and his heart was also the tenacity of suspending this viper, but excessive paranoia would only hurt himself and the team. .
With the disappointed sighs of the fans in the audience, Kobe wanted to put some salt on the Celtics' wounds. He dribbled the ball from the center and faced Bell. He moved in and out rhythmically, turned and shook off with a fake action. Go up and prepare to end the offense with a forward jumper.
"Kobe, beautiful footsteps shook Bell... but, oh, Bell fouled. He grabbed Kobe's throat from behind and pulled him down, fouled, a malicious foul."
Lagabeel, like a mongoose that is incompatible with a snake, took a fierce bite towards the back of the poisonous snake and dropped Kobe to the ground. After the foul, Bell took the initiative to raise his hand, and Kobe jumped up excitedly and rushed towards Bell.
Players from both sides immediately stepped forward and pulled the two apart. In the face of the aggressive Kobe, Bell didn't say anything and didn't mean to fight back. He just muttered to himself: "It won't let you score easily, no. Let you score easily." (To be continued.)
