Chapter 407 This Is Fate

"Damn it!" When the third quarter of the game between the Pacers and the Lakers ended, O'Neal, who was off the field, took the towel handed over by the assistant coach and wiped it on his head very casually. Then, O'Neal slammed the towel hard. Got to the ground, and then sat down on the bench chair.

Originally, before the start of this game, as the boss of the Lakers, O'Neal really wanted to use his personal ability to win the game and establish the title of the championship, but Kobe's almost crazy singles in the first half, Disrupted all my own ideas and the coach's deployment. Although the Lakers ended the first half with a two-point lead under the leadership of Kobe, this has nothing to do with O'Neal. If it was last season, O'Neal is definitely happy to see Kobe's performance, but since the beginning of this season, when Kobe has gradually shown his ambition, O'Neal has to be wary of Kobe. For O'Neal, the best way , Undoubtedly relying on his super personal strength and the strong dominance shown on the court to suppress Kobe.

For O'Neal, the Lakers can only have one boss and one leader, and that is himself, while Kobe can only be his younger brother, so in the third quarter of this game, O'Neal undoubtedly proved himself the best. Opportunity, when Kobe chose to express his dissatisfaction with silence and not shooting, O'Neal, who took over the Lakers' offensive banner, did not show due dominance in the third quarter. In Jermaine O'Neal, Lorenzen -White and Meng Xu's three crazy double-teams, and frantically going around, and even used fouls to block himself, O'Neal played very aggrieved throughout the third quarter.

So when the third quarter ended and the score was 78-74, the only feeling O'Neill felt when he left the court was that he felt aggrieved, too aggrieved, with all his energy but no place to vent.If this is still the case in the fourth quarter, the Lakers will not only lose the championship, but O'Neal will also miss a chance to prove himself, and even lose everything he has built with the Lakers.Originally, as Kobe's performance got better and better, and he chose to be lazy and play dead in the regular season, among the fans who supported the Lakers, the calls for Kobe to be on the top became louder and louder. In the eyes of many fans, even without Kobe To replace O'Neal's core position and rebuild the team around Kobe, it is also necessary to be like Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.Just for O'Neal, sharing the ball?That’s impossible, not to mention Kobe, even Jordan. In this league, no one deserves to share the ball with him. After Hardaway, after O’Neal left the Magic, O’Neal has never thought about who he wants to be with. Share the ball.

"Kobe, I need your help, and the team also needs your help." After hesitating for a moment, Phil Jackson walked up to Kobe and spoke to Kobe. Jackson would rather lose the game than let Kobe continue to play in the fourth quarter, but today's game is the finals, and it is still a finals that cannot be lost. The current situation is very clear. If Without Kobe's restraint on the outside, the Lakers would not be able to beat the Pacers anyway. Therefore, Phil Jackson didn't care about whether O'Neal would be dissatisfied. He put down his posture, almost begging, and said After finishing, Phil Jackson stared into Kobe's eyes, as if he wanted to observe Kobe's heart through Kobe's eyes.

"I see." After looking at Phil Jackson for a few seconds, Kobe subconsciously felt guilty, covered his head with a towel, and nodded to avoid Phil Jackson's gaze.The moment Phil Jackson spoke to Kobe, Kobe was actually very excited, but after the excitement, a wave of self-blame came to his mind. Could it be that he was really wrong?No, I am not wrong!

"The final moment that decides this game, it can also be said that this round of the series, and the last few minutes of the championship is finally coming!" When the official timeout of the fourth quarter was about to end, all the main players of both sides gathered On the sidelines, listening to their respective coaches making final arrangements, the game also quietly entered the final stage.

"Victory, victory, victory..." On the edge of the Lakers' bench, as the boss of the Lakers, Shaquille O'Neal called all the players around him, waving his arms and roaring loudly.

"Guys, we only need to win this game. Any other results will have no effect on us. We just need to win. For the championship, let's go!" After O'Neal's cheering, the Lakers The head coach Phil Jackson held back several players who were about to come on stage, and used his own unique way to boost their morale.

. . . . . .

"Guys, in the previous game, you played very well, you did a very good job, in the rest of the game, I hope you can continue to work hard, in 6 minutes, you will lift the O'Brien Cup, you will Go down in the history books of the Indiana and Pacers basketball clubs, and you will be heroes throughout Indiana!"

"Guys, remember your dreams? Remember your vows? There are still 6 minutes left, and we will complete this dream together. We are tired of waiting and tired of failing, so our goal now is There is only one, and that is victory, victory! Bring the O'Brien Cup back to Indiana, come on, guys. For the dream! For the championship!" On the Pacers' bench, after finishing the final tactics, Larry De also took advantage of the last moment of the official suspension to continue to use all kinds of gorgeous and nasty words to encourage the players under his command.

"For the dream! For the championship!" After Larry Bird's voice fell, almost all the Pacers players raised their arms and shouted in unison.

After the game restarted, in order to keep the lead and the other to overtake the score, the Pacers and the Lakers tried their best without any reservations. Every player on the field ran and defended at all costs. Jayme Because O'Neill and Robert Hawley even scuffled together in order to compete for out-of-bounds balls.

As the game progressed, while Larry Bird and Phil Jackson were paying attention to the situation on the court, they kept looking up at the timer to see how many more games were left before the game could end. For the Lakers, what they lack most is time, and the Pacers naturally hope that the remaining few minutes can end quickly.For the Lakers, after Kobe began to participate in the offense, O'Neal was like a monster that had broken free from the chains. No one could subdue him. At the same time, perhaps because he really didn't want to lose this game, O'Neal's style of play was also different from the third quarter. As long as he faces double-teaming, O'Neal will pass the basketball to teammates with better chances with a high probability. Compared with the big shark who tried his best to come by himself in the third quarter, it is a world of difference. Not only O'Neal, but also Kobe. After changing the style of play in the previous game, he no longer blindly played against Meng Xu, but chose a more reasonable attacking method.However, the Pacers play very steadily. No matter what the situation is, they always play according to their own game rhythm. While defending, they play very patiently for the success rate of offense. Pass more than a dozen times, and only after finding an excellent opportunity to make a shot, so the point difference between the two sides has always been maintained at about 3 points

"The Pacers are becoming more and more stable now, especially after experiencing the baptism of the finals. No matter what happens on the field, whether the score is leading or trailing, they will not be affected in the slightest. The Pacers, and the Spurs It's getting more and more similar."

"It seems that this game will be decided by lore!" While Michaels was still discussing the Pacers and Spurs, O'Neal received a pass from Kobe and narrowed the difference Two points, 97 to 95, with one minute left in the fourth quarter.

When O'Neal was still hanging on the basket, Larry Bird on the sidelines called a timeout. At 1:06, the Pacers still had a two-point lead. This last minute will undoubtedly determine the final game As a result, how to arrange this last minute is a question that Larry Bird needs to seriously consider.

"Maybe this is destiny!" When Meng Xu walked off the court, he looked up at the scoreboard and the timer. For some reason, Meng Xu remembered the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers last season. It was also the sixth game and the final game. In 1 minute, the difference is that my Spurs are 2 points behind the Lakers. I equalized the score for the Spurs and entered the overtime game. In the overtime game, Derek Fisher beat the Spurs in 0.4 seconds, which is still in the hearts of Meng Xu and Duncan. It was after that game that Meng Xu decided to leave the Spurs and Duncan.
