NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start
197. Tracy McGrady's signature stunt reappears on the field! (Subscribe~)
O'Neal's eyes were very firm and his voice was very low.
At this moment, Rivers even felt the fury of the sharks at his peak from O'Neal's aura.
At the same time, Lin Lei of the Lakers was quick-witted and completed a steal against Rondo. He quickly advanced with the ball, and once again came beyond the three-point line, and successfully scored with his hand.
The score was quickly pulled back to within 20 points, with eight minutes remaining until the end of the third quarter.
In the first 4 minutes, the Celtics only scored two points, but the Lakers scored 14 points. This 14:2 offensive also made the Celtics a little overwhelmed by the crowd.
The main reason was Lin Lei's sudden outbreak, which made the Celtics' perimeter a bit careless. They had to defend Kobe and Lin Lei at the same time. The work was too difficult.
Looking at the struggling players on the court, Rivers thought for a moment, finally nodded and agreed to O'Neal's request.
But he did not let O'Neal appear immediately, but said to him.
"It's okay to let "103" appear on the stage, but don't appear in the third quarter, first look at the situation on the field, you also do a warm-up, let the Achilles tendon be fully stretched and then talk about it!
The Achilles tendon is one of the most critical parts of a player.
Once a player's Achilles tendon is injured, not only will his state decline, it may even threaten his career.
First of all, the Achilles tendon is different from other places. Once the injury is recovered, the time will be very long, and the bounce, footsteps, and movement on the court will be greatly restricted.
This has been seen frequently in the past history of the NBA.
Including the Achilles tendon injury that Kobe suffered at the end of his career, it was also the main reason for his retirement.
At least from the current situation, O'Neal is also plagued by Achilles tendon injury.
Rivers' intention is also obvious, let O'Neal play seven or eight minutes in the 4th quarter to play some residual heat, and this is also to protect him.
O'Neal is naturally very clear about the coach's intentions. He has already started to warm up off the court and is ready to appear at any time.
On the court, with Kobe and Lin Lei once again completing the match, the score has reached 77:62, and the Lakers are only 15 points behind.
In the nearly 5 minutes of the opening, the Celtics only scored two points, but the Lakers caught up with 15 points. During the two of them celebrating together, Lin Lei also pointed to the Celtics' bench.
Kobe looked for Lin Lei's fingers, looked closely, and instantly found O'Neal who was warming up. His eyes changed from the previous joy to a little serious and indifferent.
In this process, O'Neal naturally also watched the situation on the field, and he immediately had eye contact with Kobe.
As a former teammate, and now an old rival who is talked about by others, only they can understand their feelings.
"You old man is going to play, do you have anything to say?"
Lin Lei also teased Kobe Bryant in the mood of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
"Nothing to say, I'll dunk on top of him and win another championship in O'Neal's hands!"
After saying these words, Kobe turned around and waited.
Seeing Kobe's somewhat serious look, Lin Lei smiled and shook his head. Sure enough, parting ways with the Sharks, at least for now, is still something Kobe doesn't want to mention.
Come to think of it, Kobe Bryant has always been a very serious and very eager player for championships.
If O'Neal didn't leave the Lakers back then, but stayed with Kobe as a partner, I'm afraid the two of them would never have only one three-peat to achieve a higher height.
And Kobe has already surpassed Jordan in the number of championships!
In the next attack, the Celtics gradually recovered a little bit of form, at least they were able to cooperate and complete the score, but Lin Lei's offensive firepower became more vigorous.
After all, he didn't appear in the first half before, and several Celtics veterans were already a little out of stamina.
They are not Lin Lei's opponents in terms of speed and explosiveness. The only one who can keep up with Lin Lei is the starting point guard - Rondo alone.
Seeing that the rest of his team seemed exhausted, Rondo decided to change his style of play.
In the next round of offense, he pretended to pass Pierce to attract Bryant's attention, a change of direction went inside, in a needle-and-lead way, completed the scoring on Gasol's head.
I have to say that Rondo's footsteps are also very flexible, and his ability to read the game is the best player Lin Lei has ever seen.
Kobe was also a little angry for his behavior of leaking people, and he was the least willing to make mistakes in front of his old opponent.
Seeing Kobe's expression, Lin Lei smiled and shook his head.
"It's alright, just look at me for a while!
While speaking, Lin Lei also continued to go beyond the three-point line. He pretended to break through and instantly attracted Ray Allen to double-team.
In the face of the common defense of Pierce and Ray Allen, Lin Lei jumped high and made a posture to shoot.
But in fact, Kobe Bryant had already rushed to the inside line, Lin Lei's ball bounced on the basket, and Kobe also took advantage of the opportunity to take off and smashed the ball into the basket above Garnett's head.
"what!!!"
In the process of returning to the room, Kobe looked at the Celtics' bench and let out a roar.
"Coach, why don't I come on stage now!"
Watching his old rival pass by with such an arrogant attitude, O'Neal's face has already become very ugly.
He once again came to the front of the team's head coach Rivers, issued a request to appear.
Rivers's face has not looked good since just now. If the 30-point advantage still allows the Lakers to complete a shocking reversal, his head coach will also be questioned.
But now is not a good time to replace O'Neal, we must give Garnett and others full trust.
"It looks like your old opponent still can't get on the court!"
While the two were preparing to defend, Lin Lei teased Kobe again.
The reason why Kobe was so excited just now was not a deliberate provocation. In fact, he was also looking forward to O'Neal's appearance.
Because of this, Bryant performed extraordinarily hard, hoping that Rivers can replace O'Neal as soon as possible.
Who knows that Rivers is still unmoved, or choose to press O'Neal on the bench.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to make him appear soon!
As for Kobe's wish, Lin Lei is well aware of it and hopes to help him complete it as soon as possible.
So next, his personal performance show began.
The Celtics served, Pierce and Rondo shared a screen for Ray Allen.
After opening a certain space, when Ray Allen was standing outside the three-point line and preparing to throw the ball, Lin Lei actually found a gap in the defense of the two, successfully broke through, took off immediately, and completed the block in front of him. .
After Lin Lei blocked the shot, Lin Lei took the ball to the three-point line and said to Ray Allen.
"Let me teach you, this is the real three points!"
As he spoke, Lin Lei jumped high, ready to complete the shot.
And Pierce, Rondo and Ray Allen have already surrounded Lin Lei, they never believe, and will never allow, Lin Lei can score 5.9 so easily.
The three took off together, forming an airtight human wall in front of Lin Lei. It can be said that Lin Lei's shot path has been completely blocked.
But just when everyone thought that the Celtics were finally going to complete a defense against Lin Lei, a miracle happened...
He did not choose the previous shooting posture to complete the score as before, but raised the ball high above his head, leaned back at the same time, and jumped to an unprecedented height.
It can be said that the three Celtics defended together and did not stop Lin Lei from taking off.
This graceful shooting stance is not at all the way Lin Lei used before, and the moment he shot, the arc of the basketball also showed a straight stance and did not raise too much.
"My God! 35
Even when the basketball was spinning in mid-air, Barkley, who was in charge of the commentary, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Isn't this McGrady's signature move, a dry pull jumper!"
