Chapter 531

Chapter 537 I'm Lost

After Wei Xia left the field, the Lakers had a 16-point advantage but continued to fall.

Bryant and Gasol's play is far from ideal.

The Big Three of the Lakers: Kobe, Wecha, Gasol.From a strategic point of view, Gasol is more important, he is the one who makes the ball.But in terms of efficacy, Kobe and Wei Xia are the absolute first and second.

Since Zen Master established Gasol as the core of his tactics, he often mentions the upper line as the back axis.

His existence is conducive to Weixia or other people's air cuts, Kobe's coiled cuts and role players' penetration of the inside.

But in the first and second games, although his offensive state was very average, he was beaten by Garnett with his head held down. When Kobe and Wesha used his cover, they would always be blocked by Garnett and PJ Brown.

In the third game, the reason why Kobe and Wesha were able to get a lot of one-on-one opportunities at the top of the arc was related to Gasol's low position and the Lakers' large number of off-line interspersed.

In the Lakers' super attack wave in the first half, Kobe didn't score much.Gasol mentioned the upper line, and Garnett somehow, the Celtics used him very conservatively, often not on the court.

So, Kobe shuttled freely, and then kept looking for his teammates.On the bottom line, Fisher, Walton, and Radmanovich made three-pointers, and Weixia made an empty cut at will.

For the first time since the Lakers played four games in the finals, they played a rhythm that made them happy.

Leading the opponent by 23 points at most, it was a fantastic performance.

这不由让某些老球迷想起1970年总决赛Game6，威利斯·里德受伤，湖人首节36比16领先。当然，那晚湖人赢了——张伯伦45分27个篮板。

However, starting from the second half, the Celtics lifted all the restrictions on Garnett.

No matter who was defending him, he was determined to show his fangs in isolation; when facing Gasol, he didn't clean up the offense with a fadeaway jumper.

Instead, the right wing holds the ball, turns around, steps forward to test, dribbles with the left hand and cuts in, takes off in the shoulder confrontation, and makes a high jumper.

This is Garnett's toughest offensive stance since the series.

It was Garnett's yelling, roaring, and resolute attitude of not giving up an inch that made the Celtics still have faith and never give up in the repeated see-saw of being 23 points behind-catching up to 16 points-and being pulled back by 20 points again.

After Garnett returned to the court, Gasol made several attempts to get back to the high post.

As a result, except for Weixia's successful air cut and being re-offended, Kobe took over Gasol's ground pass a few times, but failed to find a route to the basket.This is the "spear and shield" theme of this series.

It wasn't Posey or Pierce that the Celtics forced Bryant to keep jumping, it was Garnett.On the defensive end, for the most part, he and Kobe were one-on-one with a defender behind them.

It's just that this night, in addition to using movement to control the Lakers' attack on the inside, on the offensive end, Garnett showed his brightest fangs since the series.

The Celtics' majestic counterattack in the second half started from Garnett.

Radmanovich faced the basket, stumbled to the basket, and was slapped off by Garnett.

Garnett made a long pass to Pierce.

The latter's fast break was blocked by Kobe.

The Lakers' defense did their best, but the Celtics were more eager.

Eddie House caught up and grabbed the offensive rebound for a layup.

57 is better than 71

Things got complicated as the Celtics caught up and trailed by just 14 points, and the point difference, and the rest of the game, were all in their favour.

The 14-point lead has become a burden for the Lakers.

They just want to hold the lead, not expand the lead.

Kobe may have the idea of ​​attacking and attacking again, but he doesn't feel good, and he is targeted by the Celtics, so he really doesn't have the strength to put the ball into the basket.

What he does best on the basketball court has become the most difficult thing today.

Gasol backs Garnett and he goes in.

The Spaniard showed a rare vicious look on his face, but his turning hook was a bit unlucky.

The ball circled inside the basket and fell out.

Radmanovich grabbed the offensive rebound and threw it to Fisher on the outside.

He told Wei Xia to rest assured that he made a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

"boom!"

The clear sound of basketball hitting iron seems to be knocking on everyone's heart.

"It can't go on like this!" Even Vanessa could see that there was something wrong with the Lakers' offense.

Elaine Trovis asked anxiously, "Will you not be caught?"

According to Vanessa's watching experience, she believes that if the Lakers continue to be so cowardly, it will not be as simple as being caught up, and they will be completely dominated by the Celtics from the physical to the spiritual level!

Once turned over by the opponent, can that kind of blow be relieved by the two-day offseason?

This is more terrifying than giving up the match point at home to the opponent and going to Boston 2-3 to play two games in a row.

Fisher missed a three-pointer, the long rebound fell into Pierce's hands, and Eddie House, a surprise soldier who replaced Rondo, flew to the layup and scored the fifth point in a single quarter.

Meanwhile, 59 to 71.

The Celtics chased the point difference to 12 points, and Phil Jackson had stood up, watching the game with a sad face.

He looked at Wei Xia from time to time.

There is no moment when the Lakers need Wei Xia more than now, but with the Celtics' offensive, can Wei Xia, who is burdened with five fouls, give it a go?

Once the game is lost, Zen Master knows that the consequences will be disastrous.

The tense game made the spectators unable to breathe, and then, the referee sent a warm message.

They called James Posey an offensive foul.

Posey looked puzzled, and seeing the referee's unquestionable attitude, he knew that he was looking for the whistle at the home court.

He walked away with a sneer on his face.

The referee's entertainment was not over yet, the Lakers seemed unaware that Gasol's mentality had been blown up by Garnett, and passed the ball to him again.

Gasol played Garnett back, not aiming at scoring, but taking creating damage as his own responsibility.

The referee let him go.

The whistle sounded, Garnett's third foul, Gasol stood at the free throw line.

He scored the first free throw, and the director played his statistics.

9 of 3 shots, 11 points, 9 rebounds.

Then, the second free throw was missed.

Garnett grabbed the board with one hand, and Pierce slammed on Kobe in the frontcourt.

They have been facing each other for most of the time, Pierce didn't even make a sound, just asked for a position, raised his hand, and the ball came.

"You can't stop me!"

Pierce yelled, seemingly without moving, but brought Bryant's attention to his right hand.

That was just the slit Pierce needed.

"Truth" took a confident step and dribbled the ball with his left hand to break through. No matter how fast Kobe's reaction was, he was leaned against by the opponent's body, and his ability and anger could not be released under the brutal confrontation.

Radmanovich was on the left, Gasol was behind, and Kobe was trailing behind. Under the attack of the three, Pierce, who had been playing on the floor a long time ago, hit the most magnificent ball since the opening of the Celtics!

He jumped into the air, and his body may be less than 50 centimeters from the ground, completely unable to form a sense of stagnation.

Gasol's shot failed to knock down his ball, but was whistled by the referee.

When the whistle sounded, no matter whether Pierce scored or not, the Lakers' defense was a failure!

However——Pierce's pull rod to find the board, but it flew from under the basket to above the basket, hit the backboard, and then rolled to the left side of the ring, standing still for about 1/3 of a second. Plop.

In! !

"Oh no!"

"Three are the same!" The moment Garnett and Ray Allen pulled Pierce up, he exclaimed triumphantly while spraying droplets, "Several are the same!"

"Paul Pierce is definitely the most underrated player in the league!" Jeff Van Gundy changed the subject, "There are too many like Paul who have the strength to shine on the stage, but are unable to reach the top due to various reasons."

"Like what?" Brin asked.

"Yao." Van Gundy did not avoid suspicion, "Let Yao come, and he can play the most dazzling performance!"

Less than 2 minutes before the end of the third quarter, Pierce scored 2+1.

Then, 62 to 72.

The momentum of the Celtics made them turn away from the guests, replacing the Lakers as the owner of the Staples Center.

The Celtics looked away. For the Lakers, the most important thing is to lock the outside line, inside?Gasol stood in front of Garnett, his momentum dropped a section.

They were so crazy that James Posey faced Gasol at the basket, and the outside three chased Kobe.

Kobe saw that Gasol had a one-on-one opportunity and passed the ball decisively.

Unfortunately, the Spaniard is not ready to repay his trust.

Kobe couldn't help it, and Gasol was too close to the basket. With Posey's height, a long-handed dunk is not too much, right?

He passes the ball with the idea that there's no reason why Gasol shouldn't make it.

As a result, there is nothing impossible, only unexpected.

Gasol's offensive method is exactly the same as Kobe's envisioned, that is, to use his height to play super-handed offense.For the sake of stability, he really wants to use dunks to complete the offense.

Gasol, who was tense all over his body, seemed to be possessed by a devil. His spiritual power was completely unable to suppress the devil deep in his heart.

The moment he took the shot, the devil sent out his magic power, making his ball smash and fly.

The Celtics' counterattack was like a torrential river. They have chased to 10 points and are determined to narrow the point difference to single digits.

Offensive to the frontcourt, moving the ball quickly.

From the left corner, Eddie House's three-pointer!

"Shh!"

65 is better than 72

Confusingly, Jackson acted anxious, but didn't call a timeout to interrupt the Celtics' offensive thoughts and ideas.

Years of coaching inertia made him willing to give players the greatest freedom and let them dominate the game by themselves.

At this time, should we also talk about freedom?

Wei Xia does not approve of his decision, but he has no right to interfere with the mind of the nine-crown coach.

The Lakers desperately let Kobe perform a single at the top of the arc, and the others scattered.

Kobe continued to change direction and pull back, Pierce's hand played a serious interference.

That ball hit the center left of the basket.

It was Eddie House again, he took the rebound and quickly counterattacked, was fouled by the Lakers when he rushed to the front court, and went to the free throw line.

With less than 30 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Celtics replaced Garnett and gave him a break.

As for who they replaced, it was probably the lightest moment in a game that was too serious for anyone to laugh.

Scala Scalabrine

The irrational Lakers made a mindless offensive choice after that.

Derek Fisher, the guy who threatened to reassure Weixia, ignored Kobe's request for the ball, Gasol's misplacement, and made a strong three-pointer against Ray Allen's defense one meter from the three-point line.

At the end of the third quarter, Scalabrine dunked with the ball, thus ending the Celtics' three-quarter counterattack.

69 is better than 72

The Lakers are still ahead, but they are all lost!
