Talent in Slam Dunk Is Bursting

Chapter 632: Critical Moment

In the remaining five seconds of the third quarter, under Hanamichi's strong defense, Nick Van Exel didn't get a good chance and even failed to pass the ball, which made the rest of the Lakers very upset Dissatisfied, even the face of head coach Del Harris became even uglier.

"The two teams have always been in a stalemate. To be honest, I was a little suffocated for most of the first three quarters. The two teams almost used their full strength, especially O'Neal and Hua, who performed extremely well. It is the responsibility of the boss of the team~"

"O'Neal scored 28 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks in the three quarters. The Grizzlies were not inferior at all, scoring 36 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. There is a whole quarter of the game left, and the statistics of the two will be even more terrifying!"

"It's not just the statistics. In the first three quarters, the performance of both of them was perfect. Whenever the team needed them to stand up, they were strong and confident enough to lead their respective teams to maintain the balance of the situation on the court. ~"

"Indeed, but at the end of the third quarter, we can find that the Lakers have begun to show signs of decline, and the Grizzlies have gradually taken advantage of the field. If the game time has not arrived, as the game continues, the Grizzlies' lead 18 will also continue to expand..."

On-site commentary, you talked with each other, and everyone in the auditorium listened with gusto, and among them, two audience members were particularly special, none other than Haruko and Hua Hui~

"Aunt, do you think Hanamichi and the others can win this time?!"

The first three quarters of the game gave Haruko an unparalleled sense of oppression, which was far beyond comparison during the regular season. During that time, she didn't even dare to speak much, and just focused her attention mechanically on the field.

Hearing this, Huahui glanced at Hanamichi who was recovering his strength with a towel covering his head in the bench, and replied proudly: "Of course, that brat is very strong, he should show it immediately in the fourth quarter. Determined to win~”

For his man, Haruko knows very well. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Hanamichi will definitely make another effort.

Similarly, since halfway through the season, the coaching staff of the Lakers has been studying Hanamichi’s characteristics. They also have the same idea at the moment. Head coach Del Harris warned everyone in the Lakers with a solemn face~

"In the fourth quarter, Bryant, you and Jones continue to double-team, don't give him a chance to organize an offense, as for the personal aspect..."

Thinking of Hanamichi's super high scoring efficiency, Del Harris felt a headache. After rubbing his temples, a rare flash of determination flashed in his eyes:

"The same is true for offense. We can no longer allow him to score like in the first three quarters. Remember that Zhongyuan fouls will not allow him to score calmly!"

"Understood~!"

Kobe and Eddie Jones nodded heavily.

In the first three quarters, under the defense of the two, Hanamichi still scored 36 points, which made them very unhappy.

Thinking of the head coach's order just now, his eyes are very firm.

Seeing this, Del Harris nodded and turned his attention to O'Neill.

The super center now looks like he just got out of the water, his clothes are sweaty, but different from the usual weirdness, his whole body exudes an evil spirit that no one should enter. It can be seen that O'Neill has completely entered game status.

"Shaquille, can you hold on in the fourth quarter?"

"Okay, as long as Hua is here, I won't leave!" O'Neill looked decisively.

~The one-to-three situation told him that the Lakers couldn't afford to lose, and neither could he. This was his first season in Los Angeles, and he couldn't be swept away by a team led by a first-year rookie. Out of the playoffs, even if the Grizzlies are No. 1 in the Western Conference in the regular season!

Get O'Neill's response, Del Harris was relieved.

If at this critical moment, O'Neal cannot play due to physical problems, the impact on the Lakers will be very fatal!

Fortunately, despite the huge physical consumption, O'Neill's fighting spirit is still extremely high.

Under such circumstances, the rest time between quarters was exhausted, players from both sides appeared on the field again, and the game entered the fourth quarter to decide the outcome!

For the Grizzlies, Hanamichi led four off the bench.

The Lakers centered on O'Neal, with Kobe Bryant, Eddie Jones, and Robert Horry as starters on the perimeter. Tyrese Knight helped O'Neal share the pressure on the interior line more. Some "dirty work"~

"beep~~~"

The referee's iconic whistle sounded, and the Grizzlies made a baseline serve~

"Inhale..․exhale..."

Taking a deep breath, Hanamichi forcibly suppressed the fatigue from his body. At this moment in the game, both teams were exhausted.

This is the case in the playoffs. The playing time of the main players will increase a lot. Most teams are trying their best to compress the rotation lineup, and strive to maintain the team's overall combat power at the highest level.

Just like what the Lakers did in this game, but the Grizzlies did the opposite. Except for Hanamichi who looked like he was going to play the whole game, other players had to be in rotation and maintain sufficient physical fitness .

But Hanamichi is also human, and he must feel tired, so at the beginning of the fourth quarter, instead of taking the ball, he played off the ball.

There is no doubt that even if he is playing off the ball, his strength is still the top.

Soon ran 733 out of the open space, and Lawrence Morten took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball.

After receiving the pass, Hanamichi took off one step inside the three-point line, stretched his body in the air, prepared to throw the basketball with standard yet elegant movements.

Before the basketball left his fingers, Kobe suddenly caught up and slapped Hanamichi's arm without mercy.

"Crack~~~"

The sound was so loud that the audience on the sidelines could clearly hear it, followed by a tsunami of boos from the Grizzlies fans.

At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded

"Doo~~~The Lakers fouled on the eighth~~~"

But at this time, Kobe couldn't control the foul issue. After all, it was an undisputed penalty. He stared at the basketball that was spinning in the air and approaching the basket, and watched it fall into the basket~

"F****!!!"

He looked at Hanamichi who was rubbing his arms, his eyes were rather complicated, why didn't he feel that this guy was so powerful in high school, he had already fouled to such an extent, and he still made a shot, so he didn't give him a way out!

The extra penalty was very smooth. Hanamichi's free throw percentage this season is as high as 97%, and he basically never misses.

With the addition of Kazunari, the Grizzlies lead temporarily with 87:82.

The Lakers have the ball!.
