Legendary star

Chapter 486
"Tyshaun, you performed very well today, I won't say much about the rest, the fourth quarter is the most critical moment of this game, the guy on the opposite side will definitely send Kobe at the beginning of the fourth quarter It’s about grabbing points, so I ask you to keep pestering Kobe like you did in the previous game, and try not to give him any chance to score easily.” As soon as the third quarter ended, Larry Bird stopped Prince, who had just left the field, made special arrangements for him.

83 to 72, the Pacers had already led the Lakers by 11 points at the end of the third quarter, so after the start of the fourth quarter, Larry Bird will not arrange for the main lineup to play the entire third quarter Continue to play, but Phil Jackson on the opposite side is different. He will definitely take advantage of the few minutes when the Pacers' main lineup is off the court to grab points, and when James Posey cannot play due to injury, Larry Bird didn't care whether Prince was tired or not, and arranged for him to play consecutively in the fourth quarter to defend Kobe.

To be honest, Prince's performance on the court today was really beyond Larry Bird's expectations. The reason why Larry Bird took a fancy to Prince was because of his defense and his hard work on the court. attitude, but for Prince's offense, Larry Bird didn't have much expectations, and because of the Pacers' many scorers, Prince couldn't get a few shots in the limited playing time. Opportunity, but through today's game, Larry Bird discovered that Prince is not just a defensive champion, but a near-perfect 3D player, and this kind of player is every player who aspires to the championship. The perfect puzzle for any team.

Being able to lead the Lakers by 11 points at the end of the three quarters is definitely a very good thing for the Pacers, because it means that the main lineup, which rarely rests in the first three quarters, will be in the fourth quarter. After the start, you can have enough rest time, which is definitely very beneficial for the decisive battle in the final stage of the game.

But for the Lakers, the situation is not good. There are still 12 minutes left in the game, but the Lakers are 11 points behind the Pacers. Smooth out this big hole, but with the Lakers' current bench lineup, if they want to defeat the Pacers' bench lineup, it will be very difficult to fill this big hole, unless they let the main lineup that almost filled the entire third quarter, in Continue to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but if this is done, the consequence is that it is very likely that in the last few minutes of the game, the main lineup that cannot get a rest will have physical problems collectively, and once this happens This situation is undoubtedly a disaster for the Lakers.

So after the Lakers' substitute players left the field, Phil Jackson has been thinking about how to grab points in the first half of the fourth quarter. It is definitely impossible for O'Neal and Malone to continue playing. O'Neal in the last 2 minutes of the third quarter In [-], there was already a problem with his physical strength, and when Malone was off the court, O'Neal carried him off the court, so now only Payton and Kobe can be counted on, but Payton's ability to grab points at critical moments Very ordinary, so after thinking about it, Phil Jackson finally turned his attention to Kobe.

"Defend, defend..." After the start of the fourth quarter, the Pacers took the lead in attacking, and the entire Staples Center rang out the uniform shouts of the audience.

"The Pacers' bench players are really strong. It's not so easy for the Lakers to recover the score!" After the opening of the fourth quarter, Jamal Tinsley passed the pick-and-roll with Lorenzen White, Handed the basketball to NN-Hilario under the basket, and NN-Hilario passed the basketball to Reggie Miller who ran out of the open space at the moment of receiving the ball, and Reggie Miller made a mid-range shot. The score between the two sides was further extended to 13 points. Looking at the skillful cooperation between the Pacers' substitutes, Magic Johnson shook his head with complicated emotions. Time, to restore the momentum on the field, then after the Pacers' main lineup debuts, the Lakers will have no chance at all, and once they lose today's game, the Lakers' road to the finals is basically over. Thinking of the Lakers losing to the Finals for two consecutive seasons, Magic Johnson, the famous Lakers, felt a twitch in his heart.

"I will definitely prove to everyone that you are wrong, and I will definitely not be weaker than that big fat man!" Kobe, who returned to the offensive end, looked at Prince, who had obviously thickened his breath, and thought in his mind. I said harshly, I really don’t know what’s so good about that big fat guy, he didn’t work hard in training, he was lazy in games, just like that, there are still so many people who trust him, as long as he is on the court, I will give up everything and surround him Come to play, and as his strength continues to grow, Kobe is now fed up with this kind of treatment, especially in the last game, Kobe almost relied on his own strength to lead the Lakers to defeat the Pacers, but after the game, the main Coach Phil Jackson is still persuading himself to reduce the number of singles and play more for O'Neal, which completely shattered Kobe's last illusion.But now, the team is in crisis again, and the big fat man can't play because of physical problems, so now it's time for Kobe to prove himself, to prove that he is stronger than that big fat man, and to prove that only he can lead the team to victory.

After successfully throwing off Prince who was defending him half a step with a reverse run and change of direction, Kobe quickly reached out to Janello Pargo for the ball, although Prince posted it again the moment he received the ball, But at this moment, Kobe was already ready to start. After continuously shaking his shoulders, Kobe suddenly turned in the opposite direction. The other side completed the turn, and Prince, who just moved in the direction Kobe turned, couldn't follow after Kobe completed the turn, and could only watch Kobe take off one step away from his side, 3 points shot.Although it was only the first round, Prince, who played the entire third quarter, obviously couldn't keep up with Kobe after his reappearance.

"Beautiful back turn, such a difficult back turn, I only saw Michael and Meng Xu use it in the game before, I didn't expect Kobe to be able to complete this kind of back turn perfectly." When he didn't make a shot, Michaels on the commentary seat clapped his hands and let out a burst of exclamation. Few people in the entire league can do this kind of difficult back turn, and the one who used it the most is undoubtedly the former The strongest player Michael, and the current strongest outside line Meng Xu.

Following Kobe's basketball shot, with a swipe, there was a burst of cheers at the Staples Center. Although the Lakers are still behind, Kobe's performance is also worthy of their cheers. For many fans who like Kobe He said that no matter how Kobe performed on the court and what kind of data he got, as long as he could see Kobe playing on the court, it was enough.And after Kobe's crazy performance in the last game, many fans in the Staples Center are now expecting Kobe to save the team as he did in the last game.

"Sometimes I really envy these people." Meng Xu, who was sitting on the bench and covered his head with a big towel, looked at Kobe enviously after seeing Kobe's actions on the court. After the last game, Kobe's ability value has changed again, becoming a player with the same ability value as O'Neal and Duncan, and the ability value of 97 has reached the upper limit that Kobe himself can achieve. Kobe, Duncan , O'Neill, Tracy McGrady, even Jermaine O'Neill who was hanged up and beaten by O'Neal even now that his ability value has reached 97, they are all true geniuses, relying on their superior talent and their own efforts, they have achieved success step by step Today's achievements, if I don't have a system, I'm afraid I have graduated from university by now, and I have returned to China with the title of "Sea Turtle", watching them compete in front of the TV with envy.

As Kobe hit a 3-pointer after the opening game, the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene was gradually mobilized, cheering for Kobe at the top of their lungs, especially in the next round, Kobe hit a 3-pointer in the same way again, putting the After the point difference between the two sides narrowed to 9 points, the fans at the Staples Center had already started chanting Kobe's name.

Although the Lakers' bench lineup is obviously not as good as the Pacers, under the leadership of Kobe, or under Kobe's personal performance, the Lakers' bench has also become excited, because they, like Kobe, don't want to lose. In this game, at the same time, he must prove himself like Kobe.As the competition on the field became more and more intense, the players on both sides became more and more excited, and the rhythm of the game on the field became faster and faster.

"Kobe made a back-and-back jumper, and the difference between the two sides is only 4 points!" With Kobe's mid-range shot, Kobe made 8 of 6 shots and 3 of 4 2-pointers after playing in the fourth quarter. Already scored 14 points.

"Larry Bird needs to call a timeout in advance!" 94 to 90, with less than 1 minute before the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' bench lineup led by Kobe brought the highest time of both sides to 13. The point difference has shrunk to only 4 points. Looking at the game that was about to lose suspense, now it is getting more and more intense. Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines rarely smiled. For a neutral player like Jeff Van Gundy For the fans, the more intense the game, the better. If every game is like the last game, it will be no fun, and as a guest commentator of ABC, in consideration of the ratings of the show, Jeff Van Gundy is also natural. I hope that today's game, the more intense the better, the more exciting the better.

"It seems that the decisive battle between the two sides will be advanced!" If possible, Larry Bird naturally hopes that the main lineup will rest for as long as possible, and the worst will be to play again after the official suspension. The gap between Larry Bird and the substitute lineup is easy to realize, but in the case of Kobe taking over the game, Larry Bird has to send the main lineup in advance, and the corresponding one only needs to walk If the player calls a timeout, Phil Jackson will definitely send all the main players, and once the main players of both sides are all on the field, it means that the time to finally decide the game is coming.

"We have no way out now. What we want in this game is victory, only victory! Do you understand?" In front of the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson called all the main players who will be on the stage. Beside him, very rarely waved his arms and roared.

"Shaq, Kobe, do you two want to lose to the same opponent for two consecutive years?" After boosting the team's morale, Phil Jackson held Kobe with one hand and O'Neal with the other. Face sincerely asked both of them the same question.

"I don't want to, for me, losing to the same opponent for two consecutive years is the eternal shame in my basketball career, in my life! And this shame will accompany me for the rest of my life, until I go to the grave, this This shame will never disappear!" Seeing that Kobe and O'Neal seemed to be thinking, and neither of them wanted to answer first, Phil Jackson, who couldn't help it, spoke first.

"I don't care what kind of thoughts you have now, and no matter what grievances and grievances there are between you now, in this game, in the last few minutes, I hope that the two of you can put aside the past and fight side by side for the team's victory." Let's work together!" After Phil Jackson finished speaking, he put the hands of Kobe and O'Neal together, and when the two hands touched each other, Phil Jackson could obviously feel that they both trembled.

"If you lose, then everything is gone!" At this moment, O'Neill remembered what Payton said when he persuaded him. After a little hesitation, O'Neill nodded at Phil Jackson and Kobe at the same time.

"If I didn't want to lose to that guy again, I wouldn't forgive this big fat man!" After seeing O'Neal give the answer first, Kobe also made a gesture towards O'Neal and Phil Jackson after pretending to be reserved. In response, after all, in Kobe's heart, he also wanted to win the finals and win the O'Brien Cup again.

"Okay, okay, okay, let's work together for victory!" After seeing O'Neal and Kobe nodding in agreement, Phil Jackson said several good words excitedly, and then called Malone and Payton He also called over and asked them to put their hands on the hands of Kobe and O'Neal.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" In an instant, the morale of the Lakers' bench was high, whether it was Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe, Malone, Payton, or the role players surrounding Phil Jackson, they were all waving with high fighting spirit arms, shouting the slogan of victory.
