You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 525 Free throw line, life and death line (457)

"I'm not questioning justice, I just don't like the current scale."

After Game3, Celtics coach Doc Rivers expressed in a tactful way that he didn't like the referee's whistle-blowing scale.

"If you foul at random, is the game still worth watching? Think about it, if Kevin McHale's bad foul on Kurt Rambis was not an ordinary foul, but two consecutive technical fouls, would the result of that game be changed?"

Rivers' utterance was interpreted by the Los Angeles media as a direct expression of not being able to lose.

Moreover, his statement will make some people feel that the Celtics still hope to take the same shameful means as they did back then to gain an advantage.

In the 1984 Finals, even the Celtics, who won the championship, admitted that the Lakers were the better team.

The Lakers were in a good situation, but the game was dragged into the tiebreaker by the Celtics, and they had to play a decisive battle in the hellish Old Garden.The harshness of the away environment made people collapse. The young magician was far less stable than Larry Bird, who was a few years older than him, and thus presented a bad performance.James' famous 8 points in a single game, you can only say that he didn't play it. On such an important stage, the magician directly dragged the Lakers back when he used the court disappearance technique.

However, it was Kevin McHale who opened the magic box.

His attack on Rambis, the classic clothesline foul, changed that Celtic team's strategy.

McHale's approach is tantamount to speaking on behalf of the whole team, and they will do whatever it takes to pursue victory.Because if you were to pick a dirty guy from that Celtics team, it could be Danny Ainge, Larry Bird, or even Daniel Johnson, but it would never be McHale.If McHale has done that, it can only show that Lu Kai has become obsessed with winning, and will not care about anything in order to win.

Rivers provoked the events of the year, allowing the Lakers to relive the heartbreaking round of the series, and at the same time triggered massive accusations, but the league office did not make any punishment for it.

Wei Xia, who scored 30 points with Kobe, felt soft all over.

He was exhausted, and the Celtics' defense focused on him and Kobe.Although their score will exceed 30, it seems that they are not very hard, but in the final against the defensive Celtics, it is more tiring to score 30 points against them than to score 50 points in the regular season.

Although Wei Xia has never scored 50 points, even in the regular season, he believes that Kobe has a great say in this.

Scoring 50 points in the regular season was as easy as drinking water for Kobe.

In an interview after the game, Kobe was asked: "You struggled at the free throw line all night. Boston's rebounding was far stronger than yours. What made you persist?"

Kobe replied: "I didn't think that much at the time."

Wei Xia answered for him: "Snakes are cold-blooded animals. They just want to kill and have no time to think."

"What about you, Wish, are you also a cold-blooded animal?" The reporter asked jokingly.

"Of course, only cold-blooded animals can not fear the fiery passion of the Celtics." Wei Xia responded.

The Lakers' press conference was generally easy. They won the game and kept their home court. Then they needed to defend their second home court, their third home court, and then go to the North Shore Garden to win the cup.

The plan is simple, but the execution is difficult.

"We had a lot of trouble, but well done guys!"

Phil Jackson rarely encouraged the players: "We still need three more games like this, let's go all out!"

The Lakers disbanded in place in the locker room, Wei Xia packed his things and met Andrew Bynum outside.

He seems to have returned to normal, but he did not come back and did not participate in training. This is the first time Wei Xia has seen him in a month.

"I watched the game, and you guys did really well!"

Bynum was polite.

"It would be even better if you were here." Wei Xia believed that Bynum would alleviate the Lakers' poor rebounding situation.

Bynum said helplessly: "This is not something I can decide."

Keeping Bynum out this season is another round of infighting for the Lakers.

Since the trade of Odom and the introduction of Pau Gasol, the Jenny Buss team has had the upper hand.Odom is from Bass Jr. Although his style of play is gorgeous, he often makes mistakes and his persistence is not strong. When Bynum was injured, Jenny Pai pushed the boat along the way and encouraged the trade between Odom and Gasol.

Doing so not only cut off a big help from Bass Jr., but also brought troubles to Bynum's growth path.

Bass Jr. strictly prohibited Bynum from returning to the team after he recovered, and he did not participate in training or follow the team. He was in a state of stocking.

Doing so directly hurt the depth of the Lakers' interior. The process of rushing out of the West was uneventful. In the finals, they met the Celtics with a strong interior, and there was a problem.

Gasol and Garnett are not players of the same level. The Celtics' insiders are stronger than the Lakers in terms of age structure, immediate combat power and experience.

Wei Xia expressed regret to Bynum, he wanted to play more than anyone else.

The front office struggles spilled over to him, and one of his biggest breakouts while recovering from injury was bowling despite his injured leg.

"I'm sorry for you, AB." That's all Wei Xia could say.

Even he is just a pawn of the management.

Only when the strength reaches Kobe's level can one be able to control one's own destiny.

Even for Kobe, he still can't touch the management. He can only complain when the team's operation is not satisfactory.

Wesha came to the parking lot and saw Elaine Trovis.

She smiled and said, "Without that kiss, you still won."

Yes, Wescha didn't get a kiss from Trovis in the locker room.

Because Trovis believes that these two things cannot be traded, Wei Xia must win, and this has nothing to do with her kiss.She babbled for Wei Xia to surrender.

Wei Xia "complained" and said: "I was supposed to get 50 points, but you didn't inject your love into me, so I finally got 30 points, and you are responsible for this, Elaine."

"How to be responsible?"

"Contract my supper."

They went to eat something.

Basically Wesha was eating, Trovis was not hungry, and they talked about the game.

Trovis thought the Lakers' free throws were poor.

If the free throws were better, the Celtics would not last until the fourth quarter.

She was right, because the next day, Phil Jackson uncharacteristically increased his practice time for free throws.

Jackson is one of the most casual coaches about training arrangements.

He is different from Riley's 120-minute training time. Each of his training sessions can range from 90 minutes to 60 minutes.Never exceed.

Because it is difficult for players to concentrate for a longer period of time.

Tactical lessons should be as short and easy to understand as possible. Blindly increasing the training time will only add unnecessary burden to the players, and the training effect will be hard to say.

Today, in addition to tactical lessons, confrontation games and individual special training, Jackson also launched a free throw game.

At that time, the Lakers players who had practiced hard for 100 minutes were all out of breath.

Zen Master asked them to take 5 free throws.

The person with the lowest free throw percentage is fined $50000.

If there are players with the same low percentage of free throws, there will be no extra game, and the penalty will be shared among the players with the lowest percentage of free throws.

"I'll come first!"

Ryan Hollins came out confidently. He graduated from UCLA's Birds. His technical accomplishments are simply smashing the golden signs of the Bruins.

Hollins' first free throw hit behind the basket.

"Kareem Jabbar, Bill Wharton, Gail Goodrich, Jason Kidd. Forgive this guy, he tried his best." Weisha taunted him.

His taunt worked, and Hollins made all four free throws.

"Wish, thank you for your encouragement, I feel better." Hollins gestured to Wei Xia.

The insiders of the Lakers are all vying to be the first, and they all want to be the last.

Gasol made all five free throws.

Magloire made four of five free throws.

Radmanovic defended his title as the "best and longest-range Laker."

He made five free throws in different ways.Go in with the board, go in with a circle, go in hollow, go in with a few bounces, and go in with all five goals.

"Are you better at sledging or at free throws?" Kobe couldn't understand his sneering, and sarcastically said.

"Obviously skiing," Versia said.

Everyone is puzzled.

"Missing a free throw can cost up to $50000, but skiing costs 10 times that."

The booing sound lasted for a long time, and Radmanovich blushed, muttering "I have reformed", "I have paid the price", "Can't you give me a chance to correct" and other funny words.

The atmosphere in the Toyota Center was extremely cheerful. Except for Wei Xia and Kobe, the others gradually completed free throws.

What's interesting is that 4 people made four of five free throws, and the other made all five free throws.

Moreover, for everyone who misses a free throw, the lost ball is the first ball, and then he quickly regains his touch and hits every remaining ball.

Only Kobe and Wei Xia are left.

They looked at each other.

"You come to the finale." Wei Xia said to Kobe.

Kobe snorted, "I can do this with my eyes closed."

He was immediately struck by lightning.

The first free throw hit the left side of the basket.

This is not a problem with the feel, it is completely a wrong ballistic, and the penalty is crooked.

"Papa papa!" Wei Xia looked excited, "As expected of Kobe, the way of missing free throws is different from others."

Kobe at this moment is the portrayal of the Lakers Game3 team's free throws.

He made 31 of 21 free throws in the game, a 61% shooting rate.

The unstable touch lasted until Kobe's fifth free throw.

After scoring three free throws in a row, his fifth free throw hit the front of the basket.

"Ladies! Gentlemen! This is Kobe!" Wecha shouted.

Kobe gritted his teeth and said, "You haven't been punished yet!"

Wei Xia said arrogantly: "I even make free throws with my back to the basket, and I don't necessarily miss two free throws!"

He was too excited, and Wei Xia, who wanted to see Kobe being fined too much, shook his hand. After scoring two goals in a row, the third goal was a strike.

"Thanks to Kobe, he made me miss the opportunity to share the fine." Wei Xia bowed to Kobe.

"You're not done yet!" Kobe walked to the basket and passed the ball to Wei Xia, "Continue!"

"Do you think I'm going to miss the second penalty?"

Wei Xia actually played a hook on the free throw line and scored!
Seeing Kobe's increasingly ferocious expression, everyone couldn't help worrying about Wei Xia.

"Kobe, this is strength, you can't accept it."

After all, Wei Xia shot the fifth free throw with the most stable rhythm.

The arc is correct and the force is gentle. There is no doubt that the ball will go in!
As a result, Kobe, who was standing under the basket, jumped up with all his strength and sent Wei Xia's fifth free throw flying!
"You you you you you!" Wei Xia pointed at Kobe tremblingly, "What are you doing?"

Kobe turned up at a 45-degree angle as if nothing had happened: "Oh, it seems that Wish has to pay the fine with me."

"￥%%#..."

It appeared, similar to the angry breath of a mad dog, and the person who made it was Wei Xia.

Although Wei Xia did not recognize the legitimacy of Kobe's block when he killed him, Phil Jackson still ruled that Wei Xia and Kobe made three of five free throws and shared the fine evenly after knowing the whole process of the incident.

It's a Kobe Bryant thing, it's not that he doesn't want to pay the fine, he just can't accept being last in the free throw contest.

Well, unless someone is at the bottom with him.

What?His means mean and shameless?
He expressed his willingness to rematch.

Everyone knows that Kobe, who made three of five free throws, is like a gentle and graceful woman with exquisite facial features, a devil figure and a well-educated woman.

Wei Xia strongly demanded a rematch, but the United States is a country that is overcrowded, and the entire Lakers team rejected his proposal through a democratic vote.
