knife point guard

Chapter 213 [The ownership of the championship]

The game continues, and Kobe continues to surge.

Su Xi tried his best to defend him, but the effect was not very good. Kobe's efficiency was very high.

However, from another perspective, the effect is very good.Because Su Xi's integration is improved under high-intensity frontal defense.It was 69% at the beginning, and by the end of the third quarter, it had reached 71%.

Kobe's acquired super talents have increased significantly slower than Su Xi's other super talents, probably because there is too much content.

The third quarter is over.

78: 80.

The Lakers lead by 2 points.

Kobe's activation super talent injects powerful momentum into the Lakers, but the Pacers cannot be defeated by one person's burst.

What's more, Su Xi also gained Kobe's super offensive talent, but there were fewer things he could use, but there was always improvement.

"I'm going to win this one, win the next one, win the next one."

When Kobe came off the court, he told Su Xi with great momentum.

Su Xi lowered her head and glanced: "Your shoelaces are untied."

"I mean, I will beat you, I will turn defeat into victory." Kobe said aggressively.

"Your shoelaces are really untied." Su Xi said.

"you…"

Kobe glared at Su Xi, then squatted down to tie his own shoes. He was one of the few black superstars who could tie his own shoes.

Su Xi walked back to the bench. His coach was worried. His teammates also felt that the game was a bit suspense: Kobe was too strong. He had already scored 31 points. If he kept playing like this, he would score 50 or even 60 points. It's possible.

"We have to find a way to contain him." Carlisle frowned, and he asked Su Xi: "Jack, do you have any good ideas?"

Assistant coach Mike Brown and others standing next to Carlisle have become accustomed to the style of 'the head coach doesn't ask the assistant coach but asks Jack'.

Mike Brown even thinks that this is quite good, which is conducive to work. Not every head coach enjoys being arbitrary.

"There is no need to deliberately contain him. Just let him continue to fight like this."

Su Xi raised his head at a 45-degree angle and said calmly: "The Lakers have accumulated a lot of trouble. Kobe's explosion is just a flashback. Victory will not go into their pocket."

Ok?
So confident?
Carlisle looked at Susie.

Su Xi is not only a matter of confidence, he is also very hot and pretentious.

It felt like the godfather was stroking his cat.

Does the aura have to be so strong?

"Are you like this in front of Scarlett and Jessica?" The handsome guy Carlisle couldn't help but ask Su Xi.

Ok?
Su Xi was slightly startled. He thought Carlisle might want to learn some tips on falling in love from him.Therefore, he said: "I don't need to deliberately make any gestures in front of any women. When I stand there, they can't help themselves..."

Su Xi spread her palms: "I'm not exaggerating."

Carlisle looked at Su Xi, he couldn't help but be fascinated...Whether you are a man or a woman, it is difficult for you to stay calm with a handsome man who is full of confidence.

After a while, he realized that he was getting off topic.

Now is the finals, the most important battle to win the championship, how could this be possible?

He even felt that he was not doing his job properly, but he really didn't know what tactics to deploy, because the Lakers already knew the game, and the Pacers also knew the game. It just depends on who can perform better.

Therefore, he can only say one thing: Everyone eat well and drink well.

...

The Pacers' coaching staff is doing nothing, and on the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson is a bit 'want, want, and want'.

He asked Kobe to maintain this aggressiveness, asked O'Neal to be more dominant at the basket, and asked other players to concentrate on playing around the two cores.

He made detailed tactical arrangements.

However, the more detailed he was... the more confused he seemed.

As we all know, there is only one sun in the sky, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

At the critical moment, who should you listen to?

Who should give the basketball to?
The Lakers have never solved this problem. When Kobe activated his super offensive talent and burst into confidence, Phil Jackson did not give tactical preferential treatment and remained the same as before.

This made Kobe dissatisfied. He felt that he felt so good tonight, why couldn't Phil Jackson say, "O'Neal, help Kobe."

Who makes Phil Jackson not Su Xi? Su Xi has an elf who can capture Kobe's offensive level in real time to achieve a qualitative change.

For Phil Jackson, it doesn't matter. He has coached the stronger Michael Jordan.

He believes the most important factor in winning is: following instructions.

In fact, the Lakers have three teams at this time.

Each has their own plan.

beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

"Where did we just say?"

Yao Ming spoke freely in the CCTV commentary box. He probably hasn't used Chinese like this for a long time.

"Let's talk about the league's encouragement of offense and the practical significance and inevitable reasons for the rise of outsiders..." The CCTV commentator helped him recall.

"That's right. I predict that the pace of the NBA will become faster and faster in the future, and it will be more and more inclined to the outside. If the ball is given to the inside, the proportion of completing the battle in the paint will decrease year by year."

"There is already this momentum. The NCAA has not had a traditional center with exquisite skills for many years."

Yao Ming spoke.

Su Xi got to the basket and faced O'Neal's help in defense. He made a very radical emergency stop. He attracted O'Neal to press forward. But at the moment when O'Neal stepped forward to press and there was physical confrontation, Su Xi quickly turned around. His turning skills were just right, and he fully utilized his strength and flexibility. O'Neal was directly turned behind him.

And, he passed the ball to Foster.

Foster succeeded with a one-handed chop.

Su Xi's skill originated from Kobe, but it is higher than Kobe.

Because Kobe's strength is not as strong as his own, although Kobe's flexibility talent is rare in the entire league, it is still far behind Su Xi's full-level flexibility talent.

Su Xi's turn was not to attack himself, but to break the defense.

There are essential differences between the two.

Therefore, if Su Xi's talent continues to evolve, once he fully integrates Kobe's super offensive talent, he will undoubtedly surpass Kobe in all dimensions.

"Strictly speaking, Su Xi should not be called a point guard. He should be called a center guard. With his physical ability, he can make a living in the paint."

"Moreover, he showed strong post-up skills in this game. His turn just now was so smooth that people can't help but think of Olajuwon. He and Kobe should be two of the best guards in the NBA. .”

CCTV replayed the slow motion again, and Yao Ming was full of praise: "There is even a process of using force to fight. O'Neal exerts force, and Su Xi rotates around his body according to his force. This is a very good skill. To put it in layman's terms, It is easy to understand that this is Zhang Wuji’s great shift in the world.”

Yao Ming's commentary was wonderful and professional.

The game continues to advance.

Gary Payton passed the ball to O'Neal. O'Neal forcefully squeezed Foster away, but was destroyed by Artest who rushed from behind.

O'Neal goes to the free throw line.

Missed both free throws.

Kobe had a grimace on his face, and everyone could see his displeasure.

Changing side to fight again, Su Xi opened the defense line and Gary Payton defended him.Under the difficult defense of Gary Payton, Suhi failed to find his teammates who ran into the open space. He got out of the space and shot... the action was beautiful.

The techniques are also different.However, the finishing touch was a little off.

boom!
Basketball strikes iron.

At the moment when basketball was playing, Su Xi felt that her 'super offensive talent index' was actually on the rise.

And he was blessed at that moment: in a high-intensity defensive situation, shooting and hitting the iron will help improve the absorption of "super offensive talent".

Su Xi was a little unexpected.

Then it suddenly dawned on me: Kobe Bryant is indeed a super talent, and his index improvement is actually achieved through forging iron.

The Little Blacksmith of Milan lives up to its reputation.

Fortunately, the rebound was knocked out of the penalty area by O'Neal. Artest squeezed away Kobe, got the rebound, and passed it to Reggie Miller who ran to the bottom corner. Miller made a three-pointer... Whoops!

hit.

The Pacers took a 3-point lead.

This made Kobe very anxious. He continued to play singles under Su Xi's defense, and he showed a very high level of technical and tactical skills.But when Su Xi blocked his left side, he still forced the attack. Artest rushed over to block his right side, and he failed to pass the ball from both sides.

What a bold man.

boom!
Basketball strikes iron.

The rebound was obtained by Foster.

Passed to Su Xi, who slowly advanced upfield.

He was neither quick nor slow, and was even in the mood to listen to Kobe and O'Neal complaining about each other.

Kobe asked O'Neal to grab rebounds, and O'Neal asked Kobe to treat his teammates as humans and stop thinking about being a hero.

Listening to their quarrel, Su Xi even wanted to hit another iron.

What if the super offensive talent index increases.

However, Su Xi still restrained this strong impulse, Daju was the most important thing.

He rushed to the frontcourt, and the Lakers arranged for Gary Payton to guard him because Kobe wanted to focus on offense.

Susie quickly broke down Payton's defense. He made an exquisite emergency stop at the free throw line and then connected it with a realistic shooting fake, which made Kobe couldn't help but come to help defend.Then Su Xi passed the basketball, Artest caught the ball, feinted a shot, and passed it to Miller, who hit another 3-pointer.

The gap continued to widen.

Carlisle stood on the sidelines, and he had a strong sense of unreality: The Lakers are so easy to beat?Or are we already so strong?
The game continues.

O'Neal finally broke the Lakers' scoring drought. When Gary Payton missed a throw, he grabbed the rebound and completed the dunk.

After the goal, he beat his chest and roared.

His roar also resonated strongly at Staples Arena, and all fans hoped that this would be the beginning of the Lakers' ferocious counterattack.

The Lakers did organize a strong offense afterwards, and Kobe and O'Neal both performed well.

However, the Pacers were very resilient and they maintained a six to eight point lead.

Time flashed to the 11th minute of the fourth quarter.

There is a full minute left before the end of the game.

The Lakers trailed by 96 points 103:7.

Kobe Bryant has the ball in his hands.

He brought the ball to the frontcourt without any hesitation. Faced with Su Xi's pressing, he decisively charged forward and suddenly took off one meter away from the three-point line. Su Xi also took off to block the ball. build.

Kobe's take-off posture was very abrupt, and his body was twisted in the air, but his shot was still so stable.

Su Xi couldn't block the basketball because of the bounce, although his judgment was very accurate.

The basketball flew over Su Xi's head, drawing a beautiful arc.

Su Xi defended to the extreme this time, and he also felt the logic of Kobe's strength in the extreme state during this defense... This finally raised his 'super offensive talent' index to 72.

Swish!
The ensuing sound of the basketball penetrating the net extinguished the joy that had just arisen in Su Xi's heart.

"Defense!"

Kobe shouted.

53 seconds left.

The Lakers are still 4 point behind.

In theory, they have a chance to win.

Su Xi took the ball from Artest, he was very calm.He pushed forward steadily with the ball, and then he stayed at the top of the three-point arc to consume time.

Even though Gary Payton kept harassing him and disrupting the rhythm.

However, Su Xi is calm and unhurried, and the basketball is very obedient in his hands and will not be led astray.

Su Xi waited until the 17th second before he suddenly started.

He quickly reached the free throw line, then stopped suddenly, turned around, and passed the basketball to Reggie Miller who ran back to the corner as planned.

Unexpectedly, not long after the basketball was passed out, Kobe, who was originally following Artest, suddenly came out. He guessed Reggie Miller's running route.

He flew over with a desperate attitude, and at the cost of falling, he pushed the basketball back. Luke Walton caught the basketball and held it firmly.

Kobe got up, grabbed the basketball and rushed forward quickly.

Su Xi was chasing after him, and this time Kobe made a strong attack on the paint area. Su Xi followed up quickly, and he always covered Kobe's shooting space.

However, when Kobe went deep into the paint alone, Foster subconsciously turned sideways.

Just when Foster was sideways, Kobe made a decision that no one expected. He hit the basketball and passed it to the ground. O'Neal grabbed the basketball and he jumped up... O'Neal hurried over to block it, but he was a beat too late. , despite holding O'Neal's right hand.But it still didn't stop O'Neal from smashing the basketball into the basket.

boom!
O'Neal completed a violent dunk.

And the referee blew the whistle and gave O'Neal a foul.

Shaquille O'Neal added a free throw.

There are 26 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers have one extra penalty opportunity.

Staples Arena is in full swing.

They took the initiative.

But at this time, Su Xi stopped Carlisle from calling a timeout.

He didn't want to give the Lakers a chance to adjust.

O'Neal goes to the free throw line.

O'Neal has two options at this time: try to make free throws.Intentionally missed penalty.

Both Susie and Kobe stepped to the free throw line.

This ball is crucial and will determine the title of this year's championship.

All the fans' hearts dropped into their throats.

Even Yao Ming, who had been talking endlessly, stopped the two hosts from talking: Hush!Look how they handle this ball.

O'Neal was breathing seriously at the free throw line. It can be seen from the close-up shot that he was a little nervous, even though he has won three championships and three finals MVPs.But at this critical moment, he still couldn't hide his nervousness.

He took two deep breaths, then aimed at the basket and pushed the basketball out using his 'standard posture'.
