Chapter 1464 1463. Refuse to Sweep!

A last stand?

burn one's boats?

These are not enough to describe the current situation and mentality of the Eagles.

A more vivid word to describe it is - a fight between trapped beasts!

Such a miserable state of mind.

The Lakers have always felt the fighting spirit of the Eagles before. Entering the finals, it is impossible not to have fighting spirit, so the Lakers have been seeking stability in the first three games.

But this time... the Lakers players were shocked by the Hawks' desperate momentum!

After the game started, Kwame Brown took the lead in attacking. He first helped the Eagles win the jump ball, and then when Liu Mang missed the opening try shot, he desperately stepped up in the paint to rush Yao Ming and Barn. Si smashed the ball into the basket.

Kwame Brown fell to the floor after a dunk.

This was not intentional by Yao Ming and Barnes, but because Kwame Brown himself made a dangerous move. Neither of them committed a foul, but the referee still gave Barnes a foul.

Liu Mang hurriedly helped Kwame Brown up, let the system check it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Kwame Brown grimaced in pain, it was just a bruise and a sore butt.

From Kwame Brown making up the dunk, to falling heavily to the floor, to Liu Mang helping Kwame Brown up, Kwame Brown walked to the free throw line... The emotions of the fans at the scene ranged from shock to worry...

Seeing Kwame Brown twisting his butt and walking to the free throw line to add a penalty, the fans at the scene applauded.

Already trailing 0-3, the fans did not get angry and complain about their poor performance in this year's finals. The media has analyzed that several of the Hawks' main players have been in poor physical condition this year. The 122-kg big center Kwame Brown is one of them. , Jason Terry is the sixth man. McGrady has no fighting spirit. Of course, his physical fitness is not very good in the regular season. It took him a season to perform well in the playoffs.

Under such circumstances, they can also watch their own team play in the finals, and the fans are already very satisfied.

Now they just want their players not to get injured, and then cheer for their fighting spirit!

Kwame Brown was half-dead in the first three games. In addition to Yao Ming restraining him and making him invisible on the offensive end like Howard, who was invisible when he met Yao Ming, there was also the fact that in the second round, he faced off against the Bulls' interior group and the Eastern Conference. Defending James was too exhausting. On the defensive end, he could only defend the basket in the finals. Gasol's wide range of play caused Kwame Brown a lot of trouble.

But today...

The person who received the highest physical bonus to Liu Mang was not himself, but Kwame Brown, the top draft pick in high school with excellent physical fitness!

How could the No. 1 pick in high school score a penalty? As expected, Kwame Brown added a penalty.

But back on the defensive end, when Gasol fell into the low post like in the previous three games, Kwame Brown gave Gasol a big block!

Kwame Brown fell to the ground and yelled at Gasol even after he fell.

"Did this guy take the wrong medicine?"

Seeing Kwame Brown yelling on the ground because of his awkward posture to block the shot, Gasol's head was full of question marks.

Gasol encountered Kwame Brown's crazy confrontation in the low post. Gasol used the confrontation to turn and throw. When Kwame Brown was out of position, he twisted his body and slapped the ball down.

Liu Mang immediately let go of Fisher and moved in. He originally planned to help defend Gasol. If Gasol passed Fisher and made an open shot, there was nothing he could do. Of course, Liu Mang tried his best to judge Gasol. Did I have a chance to pass the ball, but I didn't expect Kwame Brown's hat to come down! Liu Mang went in and just grabbed the ball.

Kwame Brown suddenly got hard, making Gasol uncomfortable.

When Jackson had the cards in his hand, his basketball IQ was beyond the sky, and he accurately judged Kwame Brown's physical problem. In the first three games, Kwame Brown rarely acted like this when Gasol turned around and retreated. .

Kwame Brown was pretty good at guarding Gasol in the past. Normally, the Lakers would have used Yao Ming to beat Kwame Brown, but Jackson judged that it was possible that Kwame Brown had consumed a large amount of money in the first two rounds. Even Gasol can't be guarded. After testing it, the Lakers' overall offense and defense have entered a virtuous cycle. Yao Ming doesn't have to be too tired to go to the low post, and Gasol can move freely in the high and low posts.

But today...

Kwame Brown's physical improvement made Gasol feel what it means to be tough!

Kwame Brown is not a smart person, but he learned the truth of "listen to the boss in everything" in the Eagles.

"Kwame, when you guard Paul, be more manly. It's the last game anyway. Don't worry about getting hit or fouled. You can also learn from Garnett and yell at him to scare him to death."

Liu Mang told Kwame Brown this during the afternoon warm-up, but he never expected that Kwame Brown would risk his life!

Just like the analysis of the media and fans after the second and third games, if a third person steps up for the Eagles, although the Eagles are not said to be stronger than the Lakers, at least they will not be so passive.

In the first three games, the Eagles led only 9 times and only led for 11 minutes...

But this game fell apart in the first quarter!

28 to 24, the Eagles led by 4 points in the first quarter and entered the break!

From the beginning of the game, Kwame Brown scored two points with a putback dunk. After Kwame Brown blocked the shot, Liu Mang received a pass from McGrady from the mid-range and hit a shot to lead 4-0. The Eagles' 4-point lead continued. !

In fact, Kwame Brown really wanted to guard Gasol... He was the best defensive player in the first round. Later, Gasol was pulled out to the high post. Although the Lakers started from the outside, they did not start from the inside. It was so lethal, but he still played well, with 24 points in a single quarter, which is not bad.

The key is that the Eagles worked hard offensively today!

Every one of them was trying to grab offensive rebounds as if they were risking their lives.

Liu Mang's performance is needless to say. Except for the first game when he tried to play team basketball and found that his teammates were not in good condition and only scored 27 points, Liu Mang's performance in the second and third games was the best in the game. After 35 points, he scored 47 points.

Liu Mang's style of play has been firm since the second game. He just does it by himself and just takes the ball.

McGrady is the most comprehensive player around Liu Mang, and he is closest to the top in all abilities. McGrady can do whatever Liu Mang wants.

Liu Mang had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter, and McGrady had 5 points and 3 assists. In addition to these two players who scored more than 5 points, the Eagles also have a third!

Kwame Brown had 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal in the first quarter!

For the first time in four games, Kwame Brown has the upper hand inside the Lakers!

And... an extra penalty was scored!

Made 3 of 4 shots, scored 2+1 on two putback dunks, and made the second 2+1 free throw.

The Hawks continued their defensive efficiency from the previous game. The Lakers originally made adjustments because they were prevented from scoring less than 100 points in the last game, but they did not expect that their team's tactical core Gasol was defeated by Kwame Brown. I'm so confused!

Looking at the data, Gasol shot 2 for 4 and scored 5 points. Gasol's shooting was not bad, but everyone who watched the game knew that Gasol's performance was so bad when he met Kwame Brown, who was going crazy today and occasionally became fierce. Just like his expression...the doormat look was so miserable.

After 3-0, the Lakers entered Game 4 with a arrogant but relaxed attitude. They felt that the Hawks would surrender, just like the Nets in 2002.

Of course, the Lakers are also serious about ending the finals as soon as possible, and they can't wait to take away the championship trophy.

But……

No one could have expected that the Eagles, who looked half-dead after the third game and had refused all interviews in the past two days, as if they were trying to escape from an explosion, would still fight so hard in the fourth game when they were already on the verge of elimination. strength!

Kwame Brown's explosive performance on the defensive end and on the rebounding end brought out the bloody spirit that the Eagles had been holding back for 72 hours!

The key is to continue the defense from the previous game.

On the offensive end, Liu Mang is still scoring points, and McGrady is trying his best to use his previous threats to help his teammates. However, today the Eagles have the third scorer!

After the game, Liu Mang scored 51 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, McGrady scored 18 points and 11 assists, and Kwame Brown scored 15 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocks!

On the Lakers side, Gasol looked pretty good with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists on 6-of-12 shooting. But everyone who watched the game knew that Gasol was blocked by Kwame Brown today. Gasol didn't even dare to go inside. Just like the 2008 Finals in the original time and space, he had to use Yao Ming to go inside at the beginning of the second quarter.

Today, Kwame Brown was indeed very irritable. Although Yao Ming still scored 19 points with a shooting rate of 7 of 10, he blocked Yao Ming from the front and made Yao Ming consume a lot of money in singles.

The Lakers were not prepared for the Hawks to break out like this. Jackson has already played in his 12th Finals and won 9 championships. He has never faced an opponent with a 3-0 lead, and his opponent was actually better than before in the fourth game. Three games will make you fight harder...and have more stamina!

Just like a bunch of crazy savages!

Although Kobe tried to take over the game in the fourth quarter and scored 14 points in a single quarter on 5-of-9 shooting, and scored 41 points in the game, the Lakers could not hold off the Lakers and only scored 20 points in the fourth quarter.

Relying on Liu Mang's 19-for-37 shooting, 3-for-10 three-pointers, and a 51-point performance, as well as McGrady's double-double and the key 15+20+4 Kwame Brown, the Hawks scored 113-99 at home, 14 The point difference beat the Lakers and avoided being swept!

The Lakers really didn't expect the Eagles to perform like this, and the fans at the scene also didn't expect it. They expected their team to win, but they thought that Liu Mang scored 47 points in the last game and didn't win...

But I never expected that Liu Mang would throw 37 times and score 51 points today!

The main reason is that Kwame Brown had 9 offensive rebounds in a single game, which gave Liu Mang a huge help!

After the fourth game, Eagles fans seemed to be more excited than last year when they won three consecutive championships.

Facing the Lakers' inside group, Kwame Brown scored 15+20+4, beating Liu Mang to become the MVP of this game!
