Legendary star

Chapter 400 Be willing to be ordinary for a season, just for the blooming of this moment
"Little bastard, come on, come and play one-on-one with me!" When Meng Xu rushed towards the Lakers basket with the ball again, he had already left the basket and rushed towards Meng Xu who was not far away. O'Neill opened his arms and yelled at Meng Xu who was changing direction.After the official timeout, the Lakers also changed their defensive strategy. When Meng Xu chose to break through, they gave up double-teaming him and let him go one-on-one with O'Neal on the inside. Therefore, when Meng Xu changed his direction and got rid of Kobe, O'Neal immediately rushed towards Meng Xu, while Kobe went to defend Bobby Simmons.

"Whoever's head is squeezed by the door, I will fight you one-on-one." After completing the continuous change of direction, Meng Xu, who had already pulled up his body, happened to see O'Neal who was glaring at him, but when he saw O'Neal, Seemingly pretending to be serious, Meng Xu couldn't hold back anymore. He didn't have as good concentration as Duncan, and could maintain a deadpan expression at all times.Meng Xu is very clear about O'Neal's strength. This big guy is even more terrifying than Duncan, so try not to provoke him if you can. You have to put on the look of going to the basket, especially when the peripheral vision of Meng Xu's eyes has been caught, and Reggie Miller, who is sideways, has gotten rid of Rick Fox and is about to slip to the bottom line. In this case Meng Xu wanted to attract O'Neill's attention to himself even more.

"Boy, this game is over." When O'Neill saw Meng Xu rushing towards him with a sneer on his face, O'Neill, who was already a little angry, immediately stepped forward to face Meng Xu again. One small step, O'Neal is very clear that he may not be able to keep up with Meng Xu's footsteps, but as long as he occupies the position in advance and has enough preparation time, especially within 3 meters from the basket, With his wingspan and first-class small-range mobility, he is 9% sure to block any defender in the league.

"What? This bastard!" Just after Meng Xu reluctantly took off in front of O'Neal and made a posture ready to shoot, O'Neal jumped up without the slightest hesitation, and stretched out his arms to block the shot. Meng Xu, in this position, at this time, as long as Meng Xu dares to shoot, he has ample opportunity to block his shot, but O'Neal, who has already made the blocking posture, finds that Meng Xu who has completed the shooting action in the air , did not throw the basketball in his hand, but after shaking it in the air, he still moved the basketball towards the right side of his body, which happened to be the direction of the bottom corner on the right.

"Is this ball going to be a mistake?" The assistant coach Lester Conor on the sidelines also frowned after seeing Meng Xu's random pass this time. When is it, Meng Xu is still like this.In the regular season, you can play some fancy passes to please the fans, but this is the finals. Come on, maybe this is a mistake. Lester Conor shook his head when he thought of this. These words, I have told Larry Bird more than once, but every time the result is nothing. Larry Bird is too indulgent to Meng Xu.

At this moment, a scene that surprised Lester Conor appeared. When Meng Xu took off, Reggie Miller, who was still beside O'Neal, walked behind O'Neal at the moment Meng Xu passed the ball. The bottom line reached the bottom corner on the right, and what was even more weird was that Reggie Miller, who obviously had his back to Meng Xu, seemed to have known in advance that Meng Xu was going to pass the ball to him, and his judgment on Meng Xu's passing route It was so accurate. Reggie Miller, who had just stepped on the 3-point line with one foot, immediately turned towards the left side of his body. It was not bad at all. The basketball thrown by Meng Xu at will appeared very accurately on Reggie Miller. In the hand, turning around, catching the ball, leaning back, shooting, hitting, all in one go.

"Reggie Miller's beautiful 3 points, hey, the referee called Robert Hawley a foul, 3+1, it turned out to be 3+1!"

When Reggie Miller made an extra free throw, 98 to 96, reducing the score of the two sides to only 2 points, the Bankers Life Arena, which was originally a little low, erupted in an instant with a roar of shouts and a tsunami. Twenty thousand fans shouted Reggie Miller's name in unison.

"I am willing to be ordinary, but I am not ordinary. I am willing to be lonely, but I am not lonely!" Reggie Miller squeezed his fist after hitting a 3-pointer, and after punching each other with Meng Xu, he calmly He stepped onto the free throw line, grabbed the basketball handed over by the referee, looked around the stands, and looked at the teammates around him. Reggie Miller said something silently in his heart.

"It's just luck, it's just luck." Phil Jackson, who had been unable to calm down for a long time, started to think about it on the sidelines after Reggie Miller completed 3+1. Maybe this is the only way to paralyze himself. .But when Meng Xu steals Fisher and assists Reggie Miller to make a mid-range shot, Phil Jackson can no longer deceive himself. Looking at the 98-98 score on the scoreboard, Phil Jackson looks dazed , I don't know what to say anymore.

"Larry, I'm not dreaming, I'm not dreaming!" At this moment, not only the Bankers Life Arena, but even the Pacers' bench are already boiling, with a 12-point difference, After 7 minutes in the fourth quarter, it was tied. All the Pacers players on the bench rushed to the sidelines, frantically waved the towels in their hands, and roared towards the court with a ferocious face. The assistant coach Lester Conor, who was still frowning just now, is a little incoherent now.

"Guys, I have always believed in miracles. If miracles have color, then it is the whiteness on your body today!" Looking at the excited and flushed players around, Larry Bird was still trying to maintain Calm, but the waving arms and trembling voice still betrayed him, Larry Bird shouted loudly while patting the jerseys of the players in front of him. Since the Lakers jerseys are yellow, in order to distinguish them from the Lakers Come on, in this round of the series, whether it is an away game or a home game, the Pacers wear white striped jerseys.

"Rick, keep up with your defender, don't let that old guy throw you away, and you, Derek, don't make mistakes." Compared with the excitement on the Pacers bench, the Lakers' There is a bleak atmosphere on the bench now. Before Phil Jackson could speak, O'Neal lashed out at those teammates who did not perform well, especially Rick Fox. Now even the old guy Reggie Miller can't handle it anymore, and he has completely become a colander on the defensive end.

After O'Neal's roar, Rick Fox and Fisher sat on the bench, lowered their heads and did not dare to vent their anger. O'Neal is now angry, and they don't want to touch O'Neal's bad luck.As for Robert Hawley, he had an expression that had nothing to do with him. After wiping the sweat off his head, he reached out to Mark Madsen, the water dispenser manager at the end of the bench, and asked for a glass of water. I drank it myself.

"Okay, okay, the timeout is about to end, the coach quickly arrange tactics, that old guy is very strong, Rick, and Derek, you need to cheer up and show your full strength When O'Neal was spitting on his teammates, Kobe, who was sitting at the front of the bench, finally couldn't stand it anymore. If he didn't stop O'Neal, the 120-second timeout would end soon, and O'Neal was spitting on his teammates at this time , It also made Kobe very upset, because Kobe always felt that O'Neal's behavior was actually targeting himself.

After Kobe stopped O'Neal from criticizing his teammates, the Lakers' bench fell silent instantly. Everyone, including Phil Jackson, looked at Kobe in surprise, even Robert, who just didn't care. Hawley stared at Kobe with weird faces. O'Neal is the boss of the Lakers, the core of the team. Inside the team, even Phil Jackson would not talk to O'Neal like this, let alone others, but Kobe Now there is no face for O'Neill. Although Kobe's words seem to make sense, everyone knows that some words cannot be said.

"Boss Kobe, you know me best. I have really tried my best." Rick Fox and Derek Fisher, who did not dare to lift their heads when O'Neal criticized Kobe, looked at Kobe. There was also a look of gratitude in his eyes.

"Okay, let's wait until the game is over. This game is not as easy as we imagined, and the Pacers are stronger than we imagined. So, show all your strengths. As long as we win this game, we will There is only one step away from defending the title!" As the head coach of the team, Phil Jackson immediately stood up and opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassing situation in front of him. The thing that worried Phil Jackson the most finally happened, but Phil Jackson also I believe that both Kobe and O'Neal are very professional players. When facing the temptation of the championship, they will definitely let go of the filth in their hearts and unite as one.

"Hmph, for the sake of the championship, I won't argue with you for now." With this episode, the Lakers' timeout was basically for nothing. Before any adjustments were made, the 120-second timeout ended. O'Neal shook off the towel around his neck, and walked onto the court without looking back.

"One day, I will replace you!" After O'Neal, Kobe also walked onto the court.

98 to 98, the game was won in less than 5 minutes, and the final moment to determine the outcome of the game came.

. . . . . .

"Reggie's performance in this game is really amazing, especially in the final stage of the fourth quarter, Kobe and Rick Fox can't stop his fiery touch. When the outside world keeps talking about him When he was old and he was dying, he hit them back with his performance." When the timeout ended and the game resumed, Reggie Miller's performance continued, as if returning to his youth , Reggie Miller sprinted all over the field, with his tireless running, his own weird running position, and rich game experience, he got rid of the defenses of Rick Fox and Kobe time and time again, and then made shots again and again. With less than 2 minutes left, Reggie Miller scored 4 points again under the defense of Kobe. After scoring 15 points in the first quarter, Reggie Miller made 11 of 8 shots in the fourth quarter , including 3 of 7 5-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 23 points. In the cheers of the audience, after making additional free throws, Reggie Miller's score in this game has reached 42 points, and 42 points Reggie Miller's single-game score is also the highest score in the playoffs in Reggie Miller's career.

"Yes, the Lakers can't restrain Reggie at all in the fourth quarter. He is still the key man Reggie Miller. Anyone who ignores him will pay for his comeback." After Magic Johnson's evaluation, Michaels also Immediately afterwards, he echoed that today's Reggie Miller, especially the Reggie Miller in the fourth quarter, is too abnormal, but when he thinks of Reggie Miller's brilliant experience, Michaels naturally thinks that this is the real Reggie Miller. Jim Miller, no matter how old he is, he has the ability to change the game, and the fourth quarter of this game is also a Miller moment exclusive to Reggie Miller!
