Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 506
At the end of the first half, relying on the last few minutes of the second quarter, Kobe and Li Tian broke through the basket in a row and created offensive opportunities for teammates. Ariza and Bynum were also considered competitive, each hitting two shots.

35:40, this is the score of the two teams in the first half. If it is placed ten years later, many people will think that this is the first quarter of the game just ended, but this is the score of the first half of the game.

Inside the home locker room!

"Kobe, you did a good job. When you feel bad, try to create opportunities for the opponent, and then give the ball to the outside. You did a good job. Keep it up in the second half!" Phil is very happy, Kobe is very strong, but That is Kobe who feels good. Once he hits the iron continuously, Kobe is a little blacksmith.

After praising Kobe, Phil didn't stay idle. He had seen it more than once. This time, the statistics of the team in the halftime were not for Kobe alone, but for everyone.

On the defensive end, both teams gave their all and tried their best to defend. Every time they defended, the opponent would not even think about scoring easily.There are also constant small moves. If it weren't for their players with rich experience in the playoffs and finals, their mentality would be broken by their opponents.

The magic team in the last game is the best proof. They have the ability, but because they are unfamiliar with the finals, they collapsed at the first touch. In the second game, with experience, they played against each other again and became calm. .

Of course, Tyronn Lue also gave them a lot of experience. Before the finals, the Magic players didn't even listen to what Tyronn Lue said. After the last game, they realized their mistakes.

They finally understood why the team's management, after Tyronn Lue's buyout, decisively signed him. With his experience, he was indeed worth the salary.

"Next, we will continue to strengthen our defense to make it more difficult for our opponents to score. We have Kobe and Lee, and we can get closer to the basket through breakthroughs. It will definitely be easier to score than them.

Paul, Odom, continue to do a good job of defending against Turkoglu, and continue to cut off their internal and external connections, right." Phil began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

That is to continue to strengthen the defense, don't worry about physical consumption, and make sure the opponent feels the pressure.On the offensive end, increasing breakthroughs will increase the physical consumption of the players, but the Lakers have a lot of offensive starting points and can launch offenses in rotation, so the physical consumption is not that great.

In the locker room of the visiting team, the players of the Magic team are also taking the time to recover their physical fitness.In this season's playoffs, they have never encountered such a strong defensive pressure, even against the Celtics and Cavaliers, they have never played so difficult.

"Whoosh!"

"call!"

They were all gasping for breath, greedily relaxing and recovering their physical energy.

"Boys, you played very well. You successfully limited the opponent's scoring. I am proud of your toughness. They are leading by 5 points temporarily, not because you are not doing well, but because our touch is a bit bad. If We have the same touch as them, so the lead must be us.

The defensive strategy does not make any changes. On the offensive end, we must increase the transmission of the ball, find the best opportunity, and then shoot, understand? "Van Gundy applauded vigorously in the locker room, cheering for the players.

"Brothers, they are about to be overwhelmed. We just need to work harder to beat the Lakers. The loss in the last game is still vivid in our minds. Have you forgotten?

The Lakers have threatened to sweep us, can you agree? ’ Lewis yelled from the locker room.

The players who were still resting suddenly regained their spirits. They also longed for victory, and also hoped to win the finals and get a championship ring.Now that I heard that the opponent wanted to sweep me away, even a basic-salary player couldn't be so underestimated by the opponent.

Victory is just around the corner. The point difference between the two teams is only 5 points. In the second half, the team continued to strengthen their defense. It is not hopeless to win this game.

With a sigh of relief in my heart, I must win this game.

At the beginning of the second half, the two teams did not reduce their defensive intensity at all.

"Crack!" Li Tian, ​​who broke through with the ball, was slapped on the hand by Lewis. If it weren't for his strength, the ball would have been shot out of the sideline by Lewis.

Resisting the pain in his arm, he stopped and shot a mid-range jumper.

"Touch!" The basketball bounced out of the frame, and Howard grabbed the defensive rebound.

"Referee, didn't you see that? He hit my arm. It's a foul. Why didn't you blow it?" Li Tian shouted at the referee, blowing his nose and staring.

He knew that as long as he was not from the beautiful country, he would be treated differently in the NBA.Yao Ming is the most typical example. He is often choked by opponents on the court, and sometimes he is directly hugged and stands in front of the referee, but the referee turns a blind eye.

It's not that I hope the referee will take special care of him, but I don't like that such an obvious foul will not be whistled. This time, I just put pressure on them. I hope the next whistle can be fair. This is the home court, and he was fouled like this If you don't give a whistle, it's a bit too much.

"Too weak, just got hit once, and the shot was inaccurate!" O'Neill said. Of course, if he was fouled like this, it really wouldn't be a big problem, and he could still complete the dunk.

Inside players are different from outside players. Lewis is still very strong in this fight, and he probably used all his strength.

"You're so fat, it won't affect you if you get hit, but he's an outside player, get the hell out of here." Barkley couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

One minute later, Kobe was caught between Catney Lee and Alston, and the basketball was destroyed and out of bounds.

Kobe made a mistake!
This time the complaint was replaced by Kobe, who was still the same referee. He was also under tremendous pressure and did not blow the whistle.

The referees had already discussed before the game. Regarding the issue of the penalty scale, they were all old referees who had been exaggerating for more than ten years. What they wanted to see more was the kind of hand-to-hand combat in the last century.When they call the penalty, they will set a larger scale, otherwise if they encounter a foul and blow the whistle, then this game will lose the fluency of watching at all.

Fouls go unnoticed or go unseen, and it's not just the Lakers, it's the same with the Magic.

Ten seconds later, Howard received a pass from Turkoglu and chose to force his shot directly. Bynum was also desperate. He had already committed 4 fouls and resolutely grabbed Howard's hand.

Howard's shot of the ball was destroyed and out of bounds. The referee did not blow the whistle, but just blew the ball back to the Magic.

"The fight was finally a bit bloody, which made me a little nostalgic. The days on the court in the past, that era, was so bloody, and it was really nostalgic!" Barkley said.

"Hahaha, wouldn't it be the memory of being abused by Jordan, or the days of kissing the ass of a donkey?" O'Neill slapped Barkley and said with a smile.

"FUCK! Stay away from me, I hate you more and more fat man now!" O'Neill dodged, avoiding Barkley's salty pig's hand.

He really deserved to be the most agile fat man on the basketball court.

Smith looked at the two fat men and chattered aside, very speechless.

The offensive rhythm of the two teams is very slow, and there will be some mistakes from time to time. Steals and pincers are often encountered.Being fouled is even more commonplace, but the referees don't give a whistle, as long as it is not an obvious foul, they will not blow it.

At this time, it is the importance of experience. If the foul is more hidden when using small moves, it will be difficult for the referee to see.

Pau Gasol, who consumes a lot of physical energy, in the third quarter, the efficiency of defending Turkoglu dropped significantly.Turkoglu played amazing statistics, 6 of 5, and 2 three-pointers, scored 14 points in a single quarter, led the team in one fell swoop, and overtook the score.

65:63 overtook the Lakers by 2 points.

During the break, Phil was furious.

"Defense, what I mean by defense is there, Paul, what are you doing on the court, Turkoglu has scored 14 points in a single quarter, do you know that?" shouted sharply.

You can attack and fail to score, but you must not let your opponent score so easily, Phil can't stand it.

Indeed, the serious physical consumption caused Gasol's efficiency on the defensive end to decline seriously.

"What I want is protection, don't give the opponent a chance to score easily!" He urged again.

The enthusiastic cheerleaders danced passionately on the field, arousing the passion of the fans again, and the shouts like a tsunami resounded through the Staples Center again.

By the fourth quarter, the two teams were still playing very slowly. If they wanted to run, their opponents would not give them any chance at all.

The two teams played very hard, and the most important thing now is, whoever can hold on, and whichever team vents their breath first, means that they will lose the game.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle again, signaling a foul by Bynum.

Depressed Bynum received his fifth foul of the game. Phil could only replace him early, losing all confidence and patience with him.

"Odom, you go, Paul tops the center position, it must be"

Everyone was exhausted from playing, but no one shouted that they were tired, they were all gritted their teeth and persisted!

When there were 2 minutes left in the game, the score of the two teams reached 84:84, and the two teams tied again. I don’t know how many times the two teams have tied, and the scores have been staggered.

"At the last critical moment, this is the time to test the quality of the team's stars. Whoever can withstand the pressure will be able to lead the team to victory!" Director Zhang said.

Phil called a timeout. Just now, the Magic tied the score with Redick's three-pointer. He had to rearrange his tactics to improve his success rate.

"Kobe, next we have to hand the ball to Lee or Paul if we can't find a good opportunity. No matter whether the offense is successful or not, the inside players must control the rebound, and the outside players must return to the defense quickly. Do you understand? "Phil kept talking and didn't stop at all. He didn't stop until the referee came to urge his appearance.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" Everyone roared in unison!
"Come on! Come on!" Phil also shouted from the sidelines, cheering for the players.

Served in midfield, Kobe received the ball and stayed at the top of the arc for two seconds. He didn't rush to attack. He needed to wait for his teammates to take their positions. Li Tian was most looking forward to him, hoping that he could get rid of Lewis' defense.

However, he defended desperately throughout the game and carried Howard on the inside for a quarter. The physical exertion was serious and it was difficult to get rid of the defense.For his defense, the Magic adopts a strategy of infinite switching and partial double-teaming.

Tens of thousands of fans chanted Kobe's name, but it didn't affect his state, after all, he had experienced it countless times.

Two seconds later, Kobe exploded instantly, accelerating towards the inside lane.

Van Gundy had already made targeted defensive arrangements. The two teams drew again, just to let Kobe break through, and he must not be allowed to easily shoot from the outside.

With Howard guarding the basket, it was not so easy for Kobe to get to the basket and score.

Courtney Lee chose to defend closely, and Kobe, who exploded, was far stronger than Courtney Lee, and rushed to the basket over the defense.Alston on the side didn't dare to go to defend at all. Although Fisher's shooting percentage in this game was poor, he didn't dare to defend at all. Fisher was not soft at the critical moment, but Tyronn Lue confessed over him.

Squeeze away the defense, stop and make a mid-range shot!
"Shua!" A mid-range hit.

84:86 The Lakers lead by 2 points.

"Great man, you hit the mid-range shot!" Odom jumped up excitedly, even happier than he made the mid-range shot himself.

"Defend, hurry back to defend!" Li Tian, ​​who was beside him, shouted loudly, reminding the two who wanted to celebrate that this was a critical moment. The opponent did not call a timeout, and any negligence would affect the final result of the game.

After hearing the shout, both of them ran towards the backcourt, staring at their defenders!

Howard leaned against Gasol, desperately pressing him to the basket.

Odom didn't dare to have the slightest defense, sticking to Turkoglu tightly. On the defensive end, his only task was to prevent Turkoglu from receiving the ball, and ignore the rest.

Nelson saw the opportunity, and with Turkoglu's cover, he passed the ball to Howard at the basket.

After receiving the ball, Howard didn't hesitate at all, and wanted to use his strength to press to the basket and make a shot.

After two backs, it has been compressed into the penalty area.

Turn around, take off, and make a mid-range shot!

"Touch!" The basketball bounced out of the basket, and the shot from the basket missed!
The basket was in chaos, everyone was scrambling for the rebound, whether they could see the ball or not, they rushed towards the basket, wanting to compete for the rebound that would determine the victory of the game.

Just as everyone was fighting, Turkoglu, who had lost his defender, grabbed this crucial rebound in the chaos and made a mid-range shot!
86:86 The two teams tied again, with 85 seconds left in the game.

"At the critical moment, we still have to look at the stars. Howard is still too young. Without the tempering of important games, he is still far behind." Barkley kept belittling Howard.

No wonder Barkley would belittle him. In the last 2 minutes, the score difference was within 5 points, which is a test of the quality of the star, which is why there are stars.

"It's so close to the basket, and I didn't dunk, but I chose to make a mid-range shot. Even if my grandma is here, she can easily complete the dunk and score this goal!" O'Neal said.

Neither team has time to pay attention to the words of the TNT studio, so they will focus on the game.

This time Phil held back and did not call a timeout. The team still has 1 timeout left and must stay at the critical moment. If a timeout is called now, and there is no timeout to call when the last attack is made, the consequences will be disastrous .

Kobe broke through with the ball, attracted the outside defense, decisively passed the ball behind his back, and gave it to Fisher, who was unguarded outside.

Seeing this, Lewis made such an unnecessary defensive error at such a critical moment. Before he had time to think about it, he left Li Tian, ​​turned around and rushed towards Fisher.

Fisher was also very smart, and he just waited for Lewis to come to defend. At the moment he came up to defend, he saw Li Tian's vacancy with sharp eyes.

Passed the ball, received the pass, and did not stay too long. Alston, who was chasing Kobe, had turned around and rushed towards him.

"Shua!" The mid-range shot hit.

86:88 The Lakers led by 2 points. This attack was very complicated. It took 20 seconds and there were 65 seconds left in the game.

Van Gundy's heart seemed to have suddenly lost power, feeling lifeless.

Looking back, Howard mentioned the high pick-and-roll, realizing that his shooting percentage was too low, and it was the best choice to cover for his teammates.With the help of the pick and roll, Li Tian who was chasing and defending him was thrown off.

Headed to the basket and made a mid-range shot.

88:88 The two teams tied again.

50 seconds left in the game!
"The critical moment has arrived, and the requirements for stars are very high at this time!" Director Zhang said.

Gasol quickly served the baseline ball, and at the moment when the Magic team lost their minds to celebrate, Li Tian made a fast break and scored a dunk.

88:90 The Lakers lead by 2 points.

After playing for another 20 seconds, the two teams each had an attack, but both failed to score.

With 10 seconds left in the game, the ball belonged to the Magic, and Van Gundy decisively called a timeout!
"Don't worry, we are only 2 points behind now. There is enough time left for us in the game. We must make the last attack!"

"Alston stopped the ball for too long, no more than 2 seconds, and then passed the ball to Lewis!" Van Gundy suppressed Alston's desire to make a shot.

"Howard, you mentioned the high pick-and-roll. Remember to block Lee. If you see your opponent double-teaming Lewis, you can perform a fake pick-and-roll, and then directly use Turkoglu's screen to get rid of Gasol's defense! Lewis you There are two options, if you complete the pick-and-roll, you can choose to shoot, there is no pick-and-roll to pass to Howard."

Van Gundy kept tapping on the tactical board, and continued to ask, "Do you understand?"

After the timeout ended, Alston received the ball and gave it to Lewis without stopping.

Li Tian stood still half a step away, covering Lewis with his whole body, not giving him any chance to break through or shoot.

Howard hasn't mentioned the high position yet. Seeing that he can't pass the ball, Kobe's double-team will come up in the next moment. Lewis can only hold the ball and choose to break through. There is no way.
Gritting his teeth, he rushed to the basket.

"Crack!" Seeing Lewis start, Li Tian made a decisive shot, completed the steal, and just wanted to attack with the ball.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle, indicating that the thug was fouled and got two free throw opportunities.

"Such a good steal, how could it be a foul?" Director Zhang felt unbelievable, this call was a bit too much.

Two free throws were made, and the tie was tied again at 90:90.

There are 3 seconds left in the game.

Li Tian stepped forward immediately, wanting to argue with the referee.

"Why, I didn't touch him at all!" He shouted loudly.

"Stop talking, if you continue to complain, I don't mind sending you a technical foul!" said the referee.

Seeing this, Kobe also pulled Li Tian back. If the referee really called a technical foul, then the game would be really difficult.

Phil called the final timeout.

"Don't worry, there is enough time for the lore, we want to do this...and then this" holding the tactical board, and kept drawing curves on it.

While Phil was laying out tactics, the TNT studio didn't stop.

"My God, look, this steal is really perfect, it didn't touch Lewis' hand or other parts of his body at all.

Without any physical contact, is the referee blind?I think he must be crazy for calling Li for a foul. It is really unbelievable to whistle like this on purpose. said Barkley.

Although O'Neal hates the Lakers and Kobe more, he is not the kind of person who speaks against his will. The live video replays the defense just now, and everyone can see it clearly.

"Hey, this whistleblowing reminds me of some past games. It's a bit chilling to watch!" O'Neill's meaning is obvious. He has also received such treatment in the past. At critical moments, the referee's whistleblowing, decided to The final trend of the game.

It has to be said that the referee whistled at this time and determined the trend of the game. If there was no whistle this time, the Lakers would definitely win the game.Now is not the next generation, and there is no challenge yet, so even if everyone knows that there is a problem with this whistleblowing, they can only choose to accept it.

"Kill them!" Kobe roared.He has already played 40 minutes in this game, and he has consumed a lot of energy.

The same is true for Li Tian. After all, he moves more without the ball on the court, and he also carried Howard under the basket for a quarter. The physical consumption is also very large. If the season started, he would probably have collapsed by now.

In this game, it can be said that the Magic have given everything they have, and no player has lost the chain.

"Who will kill the Lakers?" At this moment, many fans are curious about this question.

The Lakers have Kobe and Li Tian. This season, they both have a game-winning performance.

Gasol serves from the sideline.

The Lakers used starburst tactics. Four people on the field ran towards different positions. Kobe and Li Tian ran towards the basket and the other towards the three-point line.

Seeing that Gasol was serving the ball from the sideline, the Magic only left Courtney Lee to interfere with the serve. They did not dare to put Howard on the sideline to interfere.Because once the interference fails, the Lakers will have the opportunity to easily break through to the basket with the ball, which will ruin the victory of the game.

When Kobe ran towards the basket, Lewis failed to catch up immediately, and Odom beside him had appeared on their past route.

"Touch!" Howard, who was eager to catch up with Kobe, pushed Odom away and ran towards Kobe with great movements.

"God, why didn't you whistle?" Barkley said he couldn't understand.

Seeing Kobe throw off the defense, Gasol immediately gave the ball to Kobe who was open.

After receiving the ball, the time passed so quickly that it was impossible for him to adjust.

CIC shot directly!

The first time Kobe shot, Howard rushed over and jumped simultaneously.

His right hand flew towards Kobe. He wanted to block Kobe. This ball must not allow Kobe to make a shot without any interference.

Howard knew that he had fouled just now, so he made a smaller move this time.

Fingertips touched Kobe's arm.

Although there is not much contact, it still affects Kobe's coming up action.

However, the whistle did not sound.

1 seconds!
"Beep!" The final whistle sounded.

90:90 End of regular time!
