NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 178 Can't Procrastinate Any Longer

After Bavetta got angry with the other two referees, he already knew what he was going to do next.

With about 10 minutes left in the game, the Lakers suddenly fell behind by 10 points for no apparent reason.

If the Lakers can't come up with something, then it's up to us referees to figure it out!

The second boot that Lu Yuanzhi is waiting for will also hit the ground.

The Lakers asked for a 100-second long timeout, but Phil Jackson did not come up with any effective method.

It's the sixth game of the series. Is there any secret weapon that should have been revealed in the previous games? At this time, I can only choose to trust the players.

So, Phil Jackson is giving his players chicken soup.

"We are the defending champions, we just encountered a little trouble!"

"Play our own tactics, there are still 10 minutes in the game, enough time for us to get back the score and win!"

"Before, we just didn't feel good. Then we worked hard to hit the inside. O'Neal attacked the basket. Kobe, you also rushed in. Don't shoot from the outside."

"Just keep an eye on your own people defensively. Don't panic. They can't maintain a high shooting percentage all the time!"

"Victory must belong to us!"

The chicken soup made the Lakers players scream, but when they got to the court, they were slapped in the head by the Kings, and they suddenly woke up.

Fisher was not cautious enough in passing the ball, and passed the ball before O'Neal was in position. Divac saw the right moment, went around from behind O'Neal, swung his long arm, and swatted the ball away.

Ruined!
The Lakers players who had just drank boiling chicken soup felt as if they had been hit by a cold wind, and their whole bodies felt bad.

Bibby picked up the ball and rushed out quickly.

The Lakers players are desperate!

It's over, we're going to be hit on the fast break again.

It's over, the point difference will continue to widen.

It's over, are we really going to fall here?

The shadow of elimination began to hang over the Lakers.

"Du-du-du!"

The referee's whistle sounded urgently, and the Kings players suddenly stopped and looked at the referee to see what happened.

"White 21, defensive foul!"

Defensive foul?

What kind of rule is this breaking?
Isn't this steal clear?
Divac relied on his seniority and went up to argue with the referee.

"Doo-doo-doo-"

Bavetta didn't listen to what Divac said and made a T gesture to signal Divac for a technical foul.

Even though he is a veteran, Divac couldn't help but feel angry.

What kind of penalty is this?
I didn't commit a foul, so you called me a foul?

I didn’t curse, I was communicating with you properly, why are you calling me a technical foul?
Are you blind?
Divac had lost his mind and wanted to catch up and continue arguing with the referee, but was stopped by a pair of strong arms.

Strong man locks man?

Divac turned around and saw Lu Yuanzhi's clear eyes, and his mood calmed down a little.

"For Win, For Champion!" (For victory, for champion!)

Lu Yuanzhi's words were like sunshine breaking through layers of dark clouds, suddenly awakening Divac.

Yes, why are you arguing with the referee at this time?
If he gets a second T, he will be punished directly.

Without him, how can the team threaten the Lakers in the mid-range?
Pollard has no mid-range shooting ability!
Divac calmed down, nodded towards Lu Yuanzhi, suppressed his inner anger, and returned to his defensive position.

Other Kings players also heard what Lu Yuanzhi said.

They never expected that in such a fierce confrontation, when everyone was excited, it was this rookie who was the calmest, telling them to endure it for the sake of victory!

Divac picked up his fourth personal foul, but no one thought it would be a problem.

There are less than 10 minutes left in the game, and Divac will not be troubled by foul problems at all.

As long as you stay calm and play the game well, the victory will definitely belong to the Kings.Everyone is not a fool. When the ball is hit, everyone can see that the Lakers have run out of tricks!

Kobe also failed to make the technical foul free throw.

The Lakers may really be in trouble.

But the next moment, the referee Bavetta told the Kings players that you are still too young!

Divac and O'Neal were competing for position inside, but before the ball could be passed in, the referee's whistle sounded again.

"White 21, defensive foul!"

what's the situation!
The Kings players were stunned.

The "iron referee" Bavetta, who had been acting normally before, seemed to have been taken away from him at this moment, and he was targeting Divac crazily.

Why did Divac offend him?

The Kings players were still young, but they just thought Divac might have offended the referee on duty, so they were targeted crazily.

Divac committed 5 fouls after this foul!

If you commit another foul, you will be sent off!

The two whistles made the Kings upset and missed someone on the defensive end, leaving Fisher with a big open space outside the three-point line.

Fisher took aim for a long time, but the result - the shot missed!
Divac blocked O'Neal, and Weber took off the rebound.

Great, the Lakers didn't make the shot.

While we were in disarray, the Lakers didn't take advantage.

Score the next goal and victory is in sight.

Weber grabbed the rebound and did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he shouted on the court to let his teammates stabilize.

The Kings players also gradually put the unpleasantness behind them.

Yes, the Western Conference championship is right in front of us. If anything, let’s wait until we beat the Lakers!

The Kings attacked, and Divac received Bibby's pass and scored the ball against O'Neal's block.

91: 79!

Leading by 12 points!
In the fourth quarter, the Lakers did not score a point, but the Kings scored no matter how hard they shot.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe finally broke into the basket, twisted himself into a knot, and then scored the ball with difficulty, finally breaking the Lakers' scoring drought in the fourth quarter.

At 91:81, the Kings still held a 10-point lead.

Divac was relieved at this time. It seemed that the referee had run out of anger, or saw that he had committed five fouls and did not dare to target him.

very good!

Continue to keep the pressure on the Lakers and destroy their confidence at this moment.

As long as the intensity of the attack is maintained and the goals are scored, the Lakers will soon collapse!
We can’t put it off any longer, there will be too many variables!
But what Divac didn't know was that the referee Bavetta also felt that he could not delay any longer, let alone be muddled.

The Lakers are in such a state today that it is impossible to catch up with the score with just one or two whistles.

Now that you have done it, you have to go all the way to the dark side!
On the next ball, Divac continued to pull out and set up a pick-and-roll for Bibby. O'Neal was afraid of Lu Yuanzhi and Webber's attacks at the basket and did not dare to follow.

Divac stood with both feet and firmly blocked Fisher, while Bibby came to the open space and was about to take off and shoot.

"Doo-doo-doo-"

The referee's urgent whistle sounded again, and the 10 players on the field were confused.

Who fouled?

Who can call a foul on that ball just now?

No one committed a foul!

"White No. 21, offensive foul!"

Yes, we can't delay it any longer. Since Divac's offense makes it difficult for the Lakers to parry, then I'll blow you off!
