Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

After the game officially started, Gasol helped the Lakers win the ball.

However, the Lakers' first offensive round was relatively simple. Hinrich and O'Neal played a pick-and-roll, and the latter took a jump shot directly after receiving the ball.

Immediately afterwards, the basketball hit the basket with a bang.

It can be clearly seen that O'Neal's shot is shorter.

Are you out of energy as soon as the game starts? Or is it that O'Neal Jr. is under a lot of pressure in the game and has no form at all?

But this scene is undoubtedly a good sign for the Bulls.

Soon, Garnett protected the rebound, and the Bulls quickly launched a transition attack.

The Lakers' defense came in time, but the ball quickly came to Duan's hands.

The moment Duan took off to shoot, Kobe also flew over. However, Duan was not confused at all and took a quick shot against Kobe's block.

brush--

Duan did not waste the ball, and used his best shot from the beginning to help the Bulls build a three-point lead.

"It's in! Duan's shot is so reassuring!"

"It's so accurate, so accurate! No one can guard Du En! We can win everything with Du En!"

"Duen is Michael who is 5 centimeters taller, Duen is Michael on the three-point line!"

Duane hit a three-pointer first, and Bulls fans suddenly became excited.

Tonight's game is crucial for both the Bulls and the Lakers. Considering that the referees have been unfavorable to the Bulls this season, tonight's game will obviously be more difficult for the Bulls.

It was precisely at this time that Duan, as the boss of the Bulls, hit an extremely important three-pointer as soon as he came up, which also gave Bulls fans reassurance.

Duan used this three-pointer to tell everyone - as long as I am on the court, no one can stop me from scoring!

Basketball is a game where the side with more points wins.

Duane's unparalleled scoring ability can often help the Bulls win games.

By the way, after Duane showed off his muscles, Hinrich suddenly went against the routine and shot a three-pointer ahead of Kobe.

Hinrich's three-point ability is good, but he played the ball a little too hastily.

Before the other Lakers players were in position, Hinrich suddenly shot a three-pointer.

If this three-pointer goes in, then of course there will be no problem. But he just missed the shot, which left the Lakers players with no chance to rush for rebounds.

Soon, Josh Smith protected the rebound and the Bulls once again got a chance to counterattack.

The Lakers quickly returned to defense again, not giving the Bulls a chance to switch offense. The Bulls still maintained their previous style of play. Duan continued to shoot if he could.

However, this time, Kobe came faster. When Duan saw Kobe taking off early and losing his balance in the air, he took the initiative to long jump and hit him to cause a foul.

However, Du En's calculation was too clever, and the on-site referee did not call it.

Fortunately, the offensive rebound was grabbed by Josh Smith, who immediately attacked the basket after getting the ball.

Although O'Neal Jr. stepped forward to block the shot and even had a physical confrontation with Josh Smith in the air, Josh Smith's physical fitness was not bad and he forced the ball into the basket with his personal strength.

However, the physical confrontation also caused Josh Smith to fall from the air and fall to the ground after completing the shot.

Originally, Josh Smith was still waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, but the referee just didn't blow it.

Gasol noticed this and took advantage of the fact that the Bulls were still waiting for the whistle and did not notice him. He quickly picked up the ball and slipped out of the baseline to serve.

Coincidentally, Du En didn't hear the whistle before, so he knew that stealing the chicken was a waste of money. Knowing that the ball was a mess, he tried his best to make up for it, so he ran to the basket and rushed for the rebound.

Josh Smith's second attack after grabbing the rebound instantly resolved Duan's embarrassment. Seeing Josh Smith, a meritorious official, fall to the ground, Duan immediately stepped forward to help Josh Smith up. .

But halfway through, he noticed Gasol's movements from the corner of his eye, and immediately pounced towards Gasol's passing route.

"Bam—"

Josh Smith didn't expect that Duen would suddenly let go, so he didn't use much lower limbs and core strength when he stood up. After losing Duen's pulling power, he fell to the ground again.

However, when Josh Smith climbed up from the ground by himself, he only heard a thump above his head.

It turned out that Duan had just intercepted Gasol's pass and then hit the board for a layup.

At this time, Duan came over again and patted Josh Smith's butt.

“Josh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to let you go.

We have to win, it was a good opportunity just now, and it turns out I did the right thing.

Or because time is too urgent, if there is still time, I will definitely pull you up.

Okay, I have explained so much, you will forgive me, right? "

Josh Smith was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course, I can understand, you did the right thing."

In the first minute or so, the Bulls scored 7 points in a row, all of which were related to Duan.

5 points were scored by Du En alone, and 2 points were assisted by Du En.

What else can Josh Smith say about Doane's performance?

However, when Duan found Josh Smith, Gasol persevered and continued to grab the baseline ball.

This time the ball was finally sent to the hands of teammates on the outside, and it was still in the hands of Kobe.

After Kobe got the ball, he hurried to the frontcourt. Luol Deng noticed Kobe's fast break and immediately returned to defense. With his excellent physical fitness, he chased Kobe in front of the three-point line.

Luol Deng noticed that Dunn did not return to defense immediately after finishing the layup, but went to Josh Smith who had fallen before, so he chose a tactical foul to prevent Kobe from making this transition attack.

Unexpectedly, Kobe immediately jumped up and shot a three-pointer after being fouled.

In the past, Kobe didn't bother to commit fouls like this, but the Lakers were pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Bulls. No matter how arrogant Kobe was, he had to cooperate with the referees to use some methods that were more conducive to the Lakers winning.

Sure enough, in the past, it was impossible to judge a ball that was fouled in advance as a shooting foul, but tonight's three referees obviously came with a mission.

Kobe quickly got to the free throw line and missed none of his three free throws.

"Damn it, Fuck, if I had known, I would have let Kobe go to the basket and dunk! I paid a foul and let Kobe get a three-pointer!"

Luol Deng said resentfully, obviously very dissatisfied with the referee and Kobe.

Other Bulls players are actually used to it.

Of course, there's nothing to complain about.

This is competition, this is sports competition. Sports competition is unfair from the beginning, and there are individual differences among each participant.

However, the charm of sports competition is not that the result is everything, the process of sports is also very exciting.

Moreover, in any sports competition, from time to time there will be situations where newcomers beat the strong against famous players, bringing surprises to the audience and a different sense of expectation in the future.

To put it bluntly, sports competition symbolizes the most primitive jungle law of survival of the fittest. The result is not winning the game, but that new things will inevitably replace old things.

The referee's decision to win the game affects the results of some games, which is not of great significance.

If absolute strength prevails, everything becomes fair.

Now the Bulls players just want to use their own strength to make this game fair.

Ever since, with the efforts of Duen and others, the score on the court quickly went from 3 to 7 to 5 to 10. The Bulls still maintained their lead until the end of the first quarter.

24 to 27, although the Bulls only took a 3-point lead in the first quarter, these 3 points were like a chasm. No matter how hard the referee tried, they could not help the Lakers overcome this difficulty and overtake the score.

For the Bulls, this is obviously a gratifying thing.

The Bulls are always in the lead, which gives everyone a sense of security and accomplishment.

However, the situation in the next game is still grim.

Tonight, the referee showed a determined attitude that he would never give up. If the Bulls want to win, they must play better in the next three quarters.

Still the same way - score!

The Bulls can only continue to score points so that the Lakers, who are exhausted and almost out of gas in Game 4 of the Finals, can't chase points, can they ignore the referee's intervention in the game and win tonight's victory.

By the way, after the game entered the second quarter, the Bulls continued to focus on the front line and maintained a certain amount of outside shooting.

The Lakers can use free throws to narrow the score, and the Bulls can also use three-pointers to widen the gap.

It is worth mentioning that the Lakers have been struggling with the Bulls in this series. They lack shooters and people who can shoot three-pointers.

Kobe's own three-point ability is only average. When faced with Duan's defense, Kobe's three-point shooting percentage naturally dropped further.

Hinrich, the Lakers' only good three-pointer, cannot score several three-pointers in a game because of his lack of shooting rights.

The Lakers also have limited shooting ability and a small offensive space on the court, which makes it easy for the offense to suddenly stagnate, and then the Bulls seize the opportunity and widen the point difference in two or three times.

If the Lakers need to rely on Kobe's personal strength to score, then Kobe will be easy to take advantage of. Regardless of whether the singles effect is good or not, for a period of time, they can only watch Kobe attack with the ball.

There are also problems of this kind. The Lakers always have no good way to defeat the Bulls, who have won the championship for three consecutive years.

As for the Lakers head coach, Zen Master, because the team he led before had Jordan and O'Neal, even if no one on the team could make a three-pointer, they could still win and build a dynasty with three consecutive championships...

Even though our ancestors were too wealthy, they had never encountered such trouble. This led to the Zen master not being able to think of any good solutions in time.

In fact, Zen Master also wondered. Normally, with the permission of the referee, the Lakers made such a big defensive move, and the shooting touch of the Bulls' outside shooters should have been exhausted long ago.

But under the leadership of Duan, the Bulls can score the ball from the outside one after another.

Zen Master can only think that this is because the Bulls' outside players have collectively exploded. Waiting for the next quarter or the next game, they will recover and there will be no threat.

However, now G4 of the finals is almost over...

75 to 81, the Bulls entered the fourth quarter with a 6-point lead.

At this time, Kobe and others returned to the Lakers bench, not only sweating profusely, but also sweating profusely.

You know, it's not easy to shoot free throws all the time, and the boos on the scene were so loud.

Lakers players also know that some free throws are not honorable. It is normal to perform free throws in the face of the boos of 20,000 Chicago fans and not be able to perform at their previous level.

If the Bulls hadn't entered the period of killing the main players in advance, the number of fouls committed by the main players would be more valuable. Tonight, they had made 32 free throws but only made 20 of them. The Lakers, whose free throw percentage was only over %, might have been actively hacked by the Bulls.

However, no matter how careful the bull is, what is supposed to come will still come.

Of course, tonight's referee was very capable, knowing that sending someone off for six fouls in the finals, especially on someone's home court, was a bit too much.

After all, it's not easy to commit six fouls in the finals, let alone punish a big-name star.

Therefore, the referee used intimidation to make use of the situation, and Duen, who had accumulated three fouls, accumulated two consecutive fouls in just one minute.

This move disturbed Du En's mentality, making him afraid to make any more moves, fearing that he would end up with six fouls.

Secondly, it also affects the mentality of other Bulls players. After all, Duan's importance to the Bulls is self-evident.

Although the Bulls have a superstar like Garnett, Garnett is strong in defense, not offense.

Garnett does not have Kobe's ability to lead a team even if O'Neal was ejected for six fouls in the Finals, but he could still score strongly and win the game.

However, Duen is not the first rookie to play in the finals, and he is not afraid at all when faced with the threat of six fouls and leaving the game.

Although he didn't get angry and take the initiative to provoke the referee, he didn't hesitate at all to take the ball to attack and defend.

The other players also encouraged and encouraged Du En, and after stabilizing their morale, they continued to perform normally and do each other's jobs well.

Seeing that the referee could not deal with Duan, he could only continue to deal with important players on the Bulls, Garnett, Luol Deng, and Josh Smith. They accumulated one or two fouls due to body hair whistles.

For someone like Garnett who accumulated five fouls in advance, Scott Skiles couldn't figure out the referee's thoughts, so he could only replace Garnett in advance and wait for the last two or three minutes before replacing him at the critical moment. .

The Bulls' temporary personnel adjustments will naturally affect their own game rhythm and the trend of this game.

However, in the following time, Duan fully demonstrated why he was able to win so many championships and why he became the dominant player in the league.

Duan made two consecutive mid-range shots to continue to hold on to the score and ensure the Bulls' lead.

Duen used practical actions to tell his teammates and the referee that as long as he could continue to score, it would be impossible to lose this game.

The Bulls made no mistakes on the offensive end, no passing errors, and no problems with catching the ball and starting the move.

The referee can't give away the Lakers players for free, so when Duan continues to shoot and score, or assists his teammates, the Lakers can only continue to be in a stalemate with the Bulls.

After all, the Lakers don't have three-pointers, so they can only rely on two-pointers, or two and one points to chase points.

Of course, Duane will also miss the ball, and the Lakers will also miss the ball.

The two teams were in a stalemate until the final stage, with the point difference fluctuating between 3 and 5 points.

There was no way. When the Lakers fell behind, they could only gamble on touch. Kobe missed a three-pointer and failed to catch up with the score.

In the end, the Bulls relied on Dunn's combination of sudden shots and small throws under the basket to score two points and win G4! (End of chapter)
