Chapter 809 Those Who Are Regarded as Confidants Will Die (4K)
"Defend the home court! This is Los Angeles! We are the masters of Los Angeles!"
"ONE TWO THREE!!!LA GO GO GO!!!"
Beneath countless legendary flags!
Lakers players filed out of the tunnel!
Wearing a purple and gold jersey!
Every player on the court looked at the twelfth star above the arena, the championship flag!
That was the honor they won last year!
And this year!
They want it again!
They are going to hang a thirteenth star above the new arena!
Engraving the thirteenth star on the LOGO in the center of the stadium!
There will be dreams and a new beginning!
O'Neal is still ready to give up the last spot in the finale to Kobe.
Kobe refused.
OK Lian Jue appears!
"Now! One of the greatest duos in Los Angeles! Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal!"
DJ’s low shout!
Kobe and O'Neal!
One high and one low!
One is fat and the other is thin!
But the aura is also extraordinary!
They own Los Angeles!
Kobe is the king of Los Angeles!
The fans roared like crazy!
All the fans put on yellow support T-shirts provided by the Lakers!
A sea of purple and gold!
The fiery atmosphere made every fan present more and more excited!
Countless fans held up signs with various slogans!
Their faces were smeared with a few strokes of purple and gold!
"K.O.B.E! K.O.B.E!"
"SHAQ!~"
"GO LA! GO!"
No one can feel this fiery sports atmosphere without being there in person.
The Lakers’ home atmosphere! Very good!
The fans here are the cutest fans in the world!
Vanessa, Lao Qiao, Sanxiao, and various world-wide celebrities on the sidelines were all completely integrated into this fanatical atmosphere!
"Game! Start now!"
As the referee threw the basketball into the sky, the much-anticipated third game of the century game officially began!
This Lakers home game is very important!
1:1 tie!
The Lakers defend their home court and win two games in a row, which will prove that their tactical thinking is correct. If they continue to play like this, they will strive to turn the score into 3:1 at home!
As long as they win 3:1, no team will have a chance to come back.
Even if this Hornets team has 73 wins, it is impossible to come back in the face of a 3:1 situation!
These two home stadiums are particularly important!
O'Neal once again won the jump ball with an absolute advantage.
Kobe advances with the ball!
The Hornets' defensive arrangement remains unchanged.
The King of Los Angeles still decided to come first!
"Kobe Bryant still started the game with Horry playing the duo. Horry, the power forward, has greatly improved the offense of the Lakers team!"
"This kind of space-type power forward with certain organizational skills may become the mainstream of basketball in the new century!"
"Hill and Rodman directly competed for position! They circled forward and attacked Kobe!"
"Double-team! The Hornets are starting to double-team Kobe!"
"Obviously, Kobe's 60+5+5+5+5 performance in the last game was too strong! The Hornets would rather let the Lakers' role players take action than let Kobe continue to play like that!"
Hill and Rodman rushed over aggressively!
Kobe didn't panic at all. He had expected the Hornets' double-team!
Pull the ball back!
Then he jumped up high and smashed the ball towards Horry!
Horry catches the ball!
Smash the ball to the ground!
A figure as vigorous as a black panther has rushed over!
Get rid of Hill and Rodman!
Get the ball and go to the basket!
No dribbling!
Take off in three big steps!
Draw your body into a full bow!
Violent battle ax!
The sound of the dunk basket was like a giant ax cutting open the prey!
Divac stood aside shivering!
If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been dunked again!
"Nice little coordination! The tacit understanding between Kobe and Horry is so great!"
"If Horry keeps playing like this, he will become the third boss of the Lakers!"
"Perfect pass to break the double team! Master Zen's face looks a little ugly!"
Double-teaming Kobe is poison!
Not double-teaming is also a poison!
Unless the Lakers lose containment points like O'Neal and Horry, with Kobe's ability to handle the ball, he is not afraid of double teams at all!
Does the Zen Master know this?
Of course he knows!
There are fewer and fewer teams double-teaming Kobe in the playoffs this season.
He just wanted to give it a try!
But it seems that the defensive chemistry between Rodman and Hill is still limited.
Kobe Bryant scored the first home goal in Los Angeles!
It's the Hornets' turn to attack.
"What changes and adjustments will be made to the Hornets' offensive tactics?"
At the beginning, Zen Master was still very stable and did not let Hill challenge Kobe.
Seeing that Kobe was still defending Hill, Hill took the initiative to pull to the corner.
Jordan and Divac were providing tactical support at the high post.
In the end, Divac found an opportunity and made a steady hit in the mid-range shot.
"Divac is a very important point in the Hornets' airport game!"
"I hope Shaq can stand up and put an end to this point. If he wants to become the strongest center in history, then he can't be afraid of players with any style of play." Chamberlain looked at Divac with disdain. This kind of space If the center were in his era, he would have been beaten to the point where he could no longer take care of himself!
Kobe also looked at Divac with a headache.
The strongest center in Yugoslavia, who can replace Kobe alone, is still something.
"Kobe, give me the next ball!" O'Neal became a little angry!
It's simply a shame to be flown by the opponent like walking a dog on your own home court!
But he really had no way to pull it out.
Ryder and Hill were ready to cut.
At the same time, if Jordan uses a pick-and-roll to hit O'Neal, he will have many opportunities to cause O'Neal to foul!
We have to guard against it!
O'Neal also wants to blow everything up!
He also wants to find his glory in front of the home fans!
"Be careful of Michael's help."
"I see."
"Kobe passed the ball safely to Shaquille O'Neal in the inside position!"
"No dribbling! No hitting!"
"Use your body width advantage! Just turn around and hook!"
"Quick, accurate and ruthless! O'Neal gave up his strength advantage in exchange for a quick shot!"
"It feels so soft! The basketball slid around the rim a few times and then fell into the net!"
"Change! O'Neal changed the way he shoots!"
"Good shot!~" Kobe gave O'Neal a thumbs up!
This is a technique O'Neal often used in the later stages of the Lakers!
Kobe didn't expect Jordan to be able to force O'Neal to use it at this time.
O'Neal is used to playing with power, but in fact his finishing touch is also historical!
A small hook, taking advantage of its width, is very difficult to prevent!
Although the hit rate is not as good as that of a back hit, it is better because it is less likely to be affected by double teams!
If O'Neal can stand up, Kobe will play much easier!
"After Kobe broke several double-teams in a row, Phil Jackson changed his defense strategy and still used Hill to defend himself alone."
"Kobe's ability to break double teams is so strong! Perhaps he is the scorer with the strongest ability to break double teams in the league!"
"The Lakers' offense, under the control of Kobe and O'Neal's explosion, scored 34 points in a single quarter!"
"This is Los Angeles! The Lakers played a beautiful game with the crazy cheers of Los Angeles fans!~"
End of single quarter!
Hornets 25:34 Lakers!
Kobe had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter!
O'Neal scored 11 points and 7 rebounds in a single quarter!
Jordan had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Divac had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
The first quarter became a point battle between guards VS guards and centers VS centers!
O'Neal's little turnaround throw was hot, 4 of 7 in a single quarter!
Jordan and Divac also maintained a very efficient score.
But the offense of Hill and Leder was stretched.
Hill involved Kobe in the corner, only occasionally cutting to the basket.
This kind of smokin' offense from the bottom corner has no way of threatening the Lakers' defense.
“The second quarter is here!!!”
"Previously, the Lakers' substitutes and the Hornets' substitutes had wins and losses. This game is very crucial!"
"How the Hornets perform as a substitute mainly depends on Ryder!"
"Wait!!! Wait a minute!!!"
Something amazing happened!
It exceeded everyone’s expectations including the commentator!
Grant Hill!
Continue to appear on the field!
"Fake." O'Neal uttered obscenities when he saw this scene.
He finally understood why the Zen Master let Hill, a big killer, smoke in the corner in the first quarter!
It turns out that the Zen master had already made his decision from the very beginning! Let Hill and Kobe stagger their efforts!
I'm afraid that in this game, Hill will appear whenever Kobe is not around!
Grant Hill looked calm.
The Zen master had already discussed this matter with him.
He agreed.
As long as it is for victory, Grant Hill is willing to make even the biggest sacrifice!
Don't talk about bringing a substitute!
Even if he is asked to defend O'Neal, he is willing to give it a try!
"Stephen, you are in trouble." Campbell frowned, with a rare serious look on his face.
Wu Sheng's expression remained unchanged: "Tsk! It's just Grant Hill, the boss's subordinate is defeated! Let me beat him!"
After three rounds.
"Coach, I want to change defense!" Wu Sheng almost cried.
Warm wine and kill the Martial Saint.
Three rounds!
Hill made three out of three!
2 times is still 2+1!
Stand up to the Martial Saint, ignore defense, and bulldoze!
Destroy the dead, without any skills, just a simple breakthrough!
Layup!
Easily like playing in summer league.
Insult!
Facing the defense of other players, Grant Hill truly demonstrated the dominance of the league's number one small forward!
Wu Sheng's defense is already very good on the bench.
There is also Ben Wallace's help on defense!
With this kind of defensive intensity, Hill actually turned a blind eye!
fear!
In the regular season, Hill once suffered a loss when faced with the defense of Wu Sheng and Da Ben!
However, Hill, who had been holding back for too long in the playoffs, went crazy!
A wave immediately stopped the game.
"Coach, let me play?" Kobe asked, he was a little unsure.
In the last game, Kobe had physical problems in the fourth quarter. He took turns fighting Jordan and Hill, which was too much!
If he is allowed to step up at this time, Kobe really has no confidence that he can save his physical strength until the end!
But if the team needs it, Kobe will still stand up!
A fighter must be on the front line!
Even if you die in battle! die on the battlefield!
"No, Kobe. It's not your time to play yet." Harris frowned.
Hill's substitution really disrupted his arrangement.
In this game, he originally formulated a set of tactics for the bench to limit the defense of Leder.
It looks completely useless now!
Hill can handle it all by himself!
Hill, who was restricted by Kobe and suffered for two games, was simply terrifying!
"Stephen, shock Hill!"
"Manu, pass the ball to Stephen!"
"BEN! Attack Hill tightly and don't give him any chance to make a move! Don't worry about other people!"
It is clear!
Harris decided to consume Hill at all costs, even the score advantage!
Of course Hill deserves it!
"Stephen, resist!" Looking at Stephen Jackson, Hill pushed his back to the basket again, then turned over and knocked him down.
He jumped into the air, glided in the air to avoid interference from Ben, and hit a layup. The Lakers players sitting on the bench covered their eyes.
awful!
It's too awful!
There is no harm without contrast.
Facing Kobe's defense, Hill played like an ordinary starting small forward!
Facing Stephen Jackson, the defensive gate known as the white shooter terminator last year, Hill completely transformed himself into the peak Dr. J!
sudden!
Breaking in is a sky job!
Collide!
If it's knocked over, it's a strong one!
"Is it just this little strength?" Wu Sheng pushed the carp from the ground!
Crazy provocation Hill.
Hill glanced at Wu Sheng.
no respond.
He knows the current Lakers are draining him.
But he doesn't care!
On the contrary, Hill became even more enthusiastic.
He is enough to blow everything up!
There is no need to conserve physical fitness!
Because he knows that no matter how well he plays, from the moment Kobe comes on the court,
"Grant Hill! He already scored 14 points in the second quarter! 5 of 5! 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists!"
"In less than half a quarter, Hill got the score back!"
"Unparalleled dominance! Hill played the best half quarter of the series. This is the league's number one small forward! This is an MVP-level player!"
"Hornets 43:44 Lakers!"
"One goal is needed to equalize the score! At the same time, both sides have replaced all the starting players!"
"Grant Hill keeps playing! Looks like he's ready to play the entire first half!"
"Kobe is on the court!"
Kobe took off his sports jacket.
Step by step, get on the court.
"Stephen, you did a good job."
"Boss!"
Wu Sheng almost burst into tears.
All his defense in this half was ineffective against Hill.
He beat Hill several times, but was killed directly!
But now Kobe didn't criticize him, but comforted him.
Those who are regarded as confidants will die!
As Kobe Bryant came on the court, the originally quiet Great Western Forum Arena instantly boiled!
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
"KOBE! KOBE!"
As rhythmic shouting sounded, Goodrich asked quietly.
"Wirt, last time the Lakers came on the court in the second quarter, who was the player who had the fans shouting for MVP like this?"
"He sits next to you."
Chamberlain looked at the magician.
The magician smiled and said nothing.
