NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The game was a big success, but the opponent was still alive.

Chapter 331 Stubborn Kobe

Midfield area.

The weakest point of the Lakers’ defense.

The Knicks’ counter-thinking directly broke through the Lakers’ defense.

The scene with the Polish center did not appear. Wang Song and Nash had a tacit understanding. The two did not communicate at all, but understood each other’s meaning just by the interaction of their eyes.

After the double screen, Nash, who was originally slithering towards the baseline to catch the ball, ran back and rushed to the midfield area.

And Wang Song’s pass was even more bold. Before Nash arrived, he directly passed the ball and led the run.

But even so, the Lakers still failed to intercept the pass.

The only defender in the Lakers’ backcourt was even more dazzled.

Walton was fooled by the three fast-forwards, and kept running back and forth between the left and right bottom corners and the top of the arc, but he couldn’t even touch the edge of the ball.

Although the timer starts when the players on the court receive the ball, the Knicks used up 4 seconds of time with their leading thinking!

It was not until Kobe rushed to the backcourt that the Lakers committed a tactical foul on Nash.

If it weren’t for delaying time, the Knicks’ three-on-one opportunity in the frontcourt would have been a sure thing.

The game entered an official timeout again.

The referee team needs to go to the technical desk to reset the specific remaining time, accurate to milliseconds.

Both sides returned to the bench to explain the last attack.

D’Antoni didn’t have much to say, he just asked Nash to relax and treat free throws normally, and then left a sentence to defend three-pointers.

He was a little embarrassed to show off his skills in front of Nash and Wang Song. He said these things just to highlight his role in front of the assistant coach. In fact, he knew more about it than Nash and Wang Song.

These two guys can go out and work alone, so why do they need their own teaching?

Especially the serve strategy just now. When he saw the Lakers’ position, D’Antoni’s heart was dead.

His little tricks were completely grasped by Phil Jackson!

But before he could admire the opponent’s awesomeness, the Knicks players on the court suddenly had their own ideas. After a lot of running around, they really ran out of solutions.

This made D’Antoni, the head coach, feel a little embarrassed.

So at this final stage, every time he talked in front of the Knicks duo, he always felt ashamed.

It was like showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong!

Compared with the complicated emotions on D’Antoni’s side, the Zen Master surrounded by the Lakers players seemed a little anxious.

Although there were only about 5 seconds left in the game, the Lakers had not yet called a timeout.

But long before the game started, the Zen Master had already anticipated this situation and made a plan in advance.

He listed several free throw situations that Nash would face next, explained them one by one to everyone and told them how to deal with them.

In essence, the Zen Master’s plan was to play it safe. If the Knicks were leading by 2 points, they would try to play by 2 points, and if they were leading by 3 points, they would have no choice but to play by 3 points.

Of course, Phil Jackson also knew this.

There were many players in the team who wanted to be heroes. How cool it sounded to kill the opponent in the finals.

The official timeout ended and they returned to the game.

After confirming the exact time left in the game, the game resumed.

4.8 seconds!

Nash stood on the free throw line.

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. Even for a veteran like Nash who had been playing in the NBA for many years, it was inevitable that his hands would tremble in an away environment, and in the finals for the first time.

The fans behind the basket did everything they could, and they came up with countless plans to interfere with Nash on the court.

What’s more, some female fans directly lifted up their jerseys, exposing extremely erotic scenes directly in front of Nash.

It’s a pity that my main point is that he is not close to women. Although he was moved, Nash suddenly became unmoved when he thought of his wife and children who loved him.

Nash hit the first free throw amid the boos of the whole audience.

The Knicks’ score advantage expanded to two points.

The faces of the Lakers players suddenly became extremely cold. The first free throw meant that there were not many options left for them.

During the second free throw, everyone adjusted their competitive state.

Nash took the referee’s pass, dribbled twice on the spot, and took a deep breath.

“Huh~”

After the first free throw, the Knicks actually had two plans.

One option is to take the second free throw seriously, ensure the hit rate and retreat quickly; the other option is to miss the free throw intentionally, go directly to fight for the offensive rebound, and let the Lakers lose the opportunity for the last attack.

Just like Yao Ming’s shot when he was three points behind, he deliberately missed the free throw to create an offensive rebound and pass the ball to his teammates on the outside.

However, Nash still did not choose to take risks. Considering that the Lakers had no time to adjust the time for the last attack, the distance from the backcourt to the frontcourt was enough for them to drink a pot.

He locked his eyes on the basket and completed the shot under huge boos.

The rotation of the ball made the game interesting. The ball turned twice on the basket, almost rolled out, and then slid in.

This made the Lakers, who were ready to grab the defensive rebound early, jump several times in a row under the basket and almost missed their best rebounding position.

O’Neal even used all his strength to hold Wang Song tightly behind him, making him unable to move.

In the end, after the ball turned three times on the basket, it still sentenced the Lakers to death.

The Lakers serve the ball from the baseline.

This world-wide problem has fallen to the Lakers.

But the Knicks had no intention of giving their opponents a chance to breathe. All players retreated to the backcourt, and two defenders were sent to stand directly in the midfield area to block the pass.

This can be said to have completely cut off the Lakers’ idea of ​​a long pass counterattack. The one who served the ball from the baseline was Walton, who was also an organizing forward and had a good passing awareness.

Seeing that the five-second serve was about to expire, the ball was passed to Kobe who was running towards the midfield area.

But even so, it was almost intercepted by the Knicks.

Even in such a chaotic scene, the offensive time wasted another 1s. The most important thing was that the indomitable Kobe had no teammates in front of him.

Because the two players sent by the Knicks to double-team him were Wang Song and Prince, their height and lateral speed directly blocked his sight, making it extremely difficult to pass the ball.

Of course, Kobe never thought of passing the ball at the moment he received the ball.

In his mind, he was the only Lakers player who could not show mercy at this time.

It must be said that the Black Mamba played tenaciously in desperate situations.

Almost under double-teaming, Kobe rushed to the top of the arc two steps away from the three-point line, and glanced at the timer above his head.

With 1.2 seconds left, his hand was already raised high, and he threw it directly towards the basket despite the blockade of two defenders.

This ball was quite similar to the one that killed Wade that year!

It was just a pity that the defender he faced this time was no longer just Wade.

Instead, he faced a super Spider-Man who was 20 cm taller than Wade, and an excellent wing defender.

When he finished shooting against Prince, an orange lightning bolt directly hit the ball in the air and affected its trajectory.

Although it was at the bottom, this little bit of force directly made the basket an unattainable dream for this ball.
