NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 394 Who dares to cross the sword immediately! !
The timeout is over, and both sides return to the court.

Kobe held the ball and slowly pressed into the frontcourt. The Lakers and Blazers advanced and retreated.

"Lin, what a pity, you were almost able to complete the shot!"

Rasheed Wallace mocked Lin Hong.

"Diarrhea, you too, don't make a move, I will block you!"

Lin Hong didn't mean to be used to the other party at all, and directly responded.

After finishing speaking, Lin Hong put on a serious face and began to sit down. After all, the taste of being blocked and ridiculed by others is not very pleasant. He wants to slap his opponent in the face with his actions.

The Blazers' defense was tight, but the Lakers' running and pulling could always find a gap, and the ball was successfully handed over to Kobe on the outside, who directly pulled out his hand.

Kobe's shot was unusually firm this time, and he focused on a fast word.

But... the ball was a bit embarrassing, and it hit the iron with a bang.

"Rashid, help!"

"coming!"

Sabonis stuck Lin Hong with his back, Rasheed Wallace rushed over without warning, Rodman was entangled by his opponent, Lin Hong one-on-two!

"Get out of here, Laozi!"

Lin Hong was upset at first, but now he shouted loudly. The core strength of Sabonis, the roof of the world, is indeed very strong. Naihe dragged his two broken legs, was hit by a stagger, and Lin Hong successfully grabbed the rebound.

However, Lin Hong was suppressed by Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace, unable to advance or retreat. Rodman rushed to respond immediately, and the two men who were defending against the defense rushed forward desperately.

crazy?

Damn, this guy is crazy!

Both Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace were dumbfounded.Unexpectedly, Lin Hong chose to fight hard.

And what surprised them even more was...

Lin Hong was like a human piling machine, step by step against the two of them, slamming into the basket arbitrarily, until the moment he got close to the basket, his legs suddenly exerted force, kicked off the ground, and dunked with both hands!
This is flying?

Still flying in front of us?

Don't you take us too seriously?
How could Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace allow this kind of tragedy to happen, so people stretched out their hands on Lin Hong's body from left to right.

next second.

"boom!"

Lin Hong smashed the basketball with his hands tightly into the basket.

Even with two people hanging on his body, Lin Hong still smashed the ball into the basket abruptly.

An explosive double-handed dunk!
"Drink~ Ah!!!"

After letting go of the basket and landing, Lin Hong clenched his fists and let out a roar.

Everyone at the scene stared in disbelief.

Although the referee blew a defensive foul in advance and the goal was invalid, the audience was still gasping for breath.

Is this still human?

What kind of terrifying power is this?

It's fine to hang some thin guards, but hang a big center and a power forward, and even dunk the ball, this is outrageous, and it is beyond everyone's perception.

The scene was full of exclamations, applause and shouts were everywhere, and the atmosphere in the TNT studio was completely alive.

Kenny Smith slapped the table excitedly, Albert smiled and said nothing, his eyes sparkled.

Lin Hong walked to the free throw line.

Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace, and Brian Grant stood on both sides of the penalty area, and on the Lakers' side were Rodman and Horry.

If the second free throw is missed, these big men will participate in the rebounding competition.

at the same time……

Bryant waited outside the three-point line, and if the Lakers got a rebound, he could reorganize the offense or pull up a three-pointer.

And Bowen is near the midfield. If the Blazers get a rebound, he is responsible for blocking and delaying the opponent's fast break.

The division of labor between the two sides is very clear, and it depends on Lin Hong's second free throw.

Unfortunately, Lin Hong failed to make the first free throw.

With his current [-]% free throw percentage, it is a pity to miss the first ball, but Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace were hit by Lin Hong just now, and when they saw this miss, they were immediately happy flower.

At least the foul on Sabonis was not in vain.

You must know that Lin Hong's free throw percentage is stable at [-]%, and the probability of Lin Hong missing two free throws in a row is less than [-]%. This probability is very low, but a small probability does not mean that it will not happen.

Bang!

Missed the second free throw.

Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace started instantly, turned around and stuck Rodman, and sprinted to grab the board.

Lin Hong at the free throw line was naturally the one farthest from the rebound, so Sabonis caught the ball and threw it to the little flying mouse Stoudemire who was waiting outside.

Flying Squirrel held the ball and ran at a high speed, and went hand in hand with shooting guard Isiah Rydell, who was waiting for a fast break opportunity in the midfield. Two-for-one in the frontcourt, and successfully scored another goal.

The next game.

The situation of the Lakers is worrisome. Not only was the 5-point advantage of the half-quarter lead filled, but they were even overtaken by 4 points by the Blazers.

The game is like a roller coaster, and the repetitions are quite exciting and exciting.

And as many people predicted, the Lakers' inside performance was indeed restrained.

Rodman first...

Rodman's offensive methods are mainly based on cuts, fast breaks, and secondary offenses.

In the face of Rasheed Wallace's pressing defense, in addition to a fast break and two second-offensive tip-up fouls, he went to the free throw line twice, shot 3 of 1, and made 4 of 2 free throws. 4 points.

It has to be said that apart from Rasheed Wallace who is prone to heat and is often irritated and eats T, he does have a few brushes on both ends of the offense and defense.

Followed by Lin Hong.

Everyone knows that Sabonis' single defense against Lin Hong is to give points, and Rodman has no offensive ability, so the Blazers can only focus on Lin Hong.

If you don't catch the ball, you will go around and block the pass; if you get the ball, you will team up to double-team and bombard with trash talk; if you can't prevent it, you will foul early and send it to the free throw line.

Throughout the first quarter, Lin Hong was pestered tirelessly. He was either fouled early or on the way to being fouled.

Therefore, he took very few shots in the first quarter, 4 of 3.

4 of 3, including a 2+1, looks good, and 5 times to the free throw line, a total of 3 hits, 9 points in a single quarter.

……

Silver Fox is also aware of the current plight of the Lakers, so it adjusted its offensive strategy in the second half of the first quarter, and consciously tilted its shots to the outside.

Against Isaiah Ryder of the Trail Blazers, Bowen’s offensive talent was not as good as others, so he used his life to make up for it. He was in a running state almost all the time, contributed a lot on both ends of the offense and defense, and also found a few open shots. 4 In 2, scored 4 points.

While Youngke seems to have an advantage over Little Flying Squirrel, but it is not.

Flying Squirrel's defense is also fierce, in addition to petty moves and trash talking, Kobe is also very disgusted.

The most important thing is that the basket seems to be on the side of the Trail Blazers. The basket + the little flying mouse are the second defense and the first defense. Kobe is also bang bang most of the time.

As for Robert Horry, his situation is actually the best one.

Leaving aside the defense, at least when attacking, the Blazers small forward Brian Grant, who was facing him, always had his eyes on Lin Hong, which gave Horry a lot of opportunities and scored 3 goals.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 28:24.

The Lakers fell behind by four points instead.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Blazers replaced Brian Grant, because the fouls that restricted Lin Hong were basically on him.

In order to ensure that the main force will not be affected by the number of fouls and can play at critical times, Kevin Cato was replaced.

This guy is said to be specially traded by the Blazers to limit inside giants like Lin Hong and O'Neal.

Trailing by 4 points into the second quarter.

After all, this is the playoffs, and both sides must compete for every goal, so even if half of the game is not over, the court is full of gunpowder-flavored trash talk.

On Rodman's side, Rasheed Wallace's single-defense action was even greater. The collision and trash talk between the two reached a climax, and they almost had physical conflicts several times.

The same is true for Lin Hong's side. Sabonis crazily circles forward to defend. As long as Lin Hong holds the ball, the new Kevin Cato will inevitably rush to double-team and become the new main force of fouls.

This section is still the same, Bowen seldom takes shots, Kobe's shooting touch is not ideal, and Mr. Key once again becomes the Lakers' last firepower.

At halftime, the score was 58:43.

Even though the Lakers have the home court advantage, they fell behind by 15 points at halftime. The situation is quite bad.

Although the Silver Fox adjusted the lineup several times in the middle, the effect of breaking the game was still not ideal, and they were still behind by 10 points throughout the second quarter.

No one would have thought that the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, who were favored by everyone, was surprised to be beaten to this point by the Trail Blazers at halftime.

With a 15-point halftime difference, the balance of victory seems to be tilting towards the Blazers.

The most terrible thing now is that the Lakers' firepower in this game is suppressed. If they can't break through the blockade in the second half, and the Lin Ke duo doesn't come forward, the first defeat seems to be doomed.

……

After the intermission, the third quarter started quickly, and the two sides lined up in rotation.

The first is the Trail Blazers. Brian Grant at the small forward position appeared again, taking turns with substitute Kevin Carr, just to hold down Lin Hong's shot.

As for the Lakers, Lin Hong and Bowen were replaced together, Curry and Campbell played, and there was no smile on Silver Fox's face.

After all, if the first game is lost, and it is still at home, regardless of face, the morale of the Blazers will be unprecedentedly high, and the following games will be more difficult.

Lin Hong was male on the left and right, and it was uncomfortable to be blocked, but the free throw percentage in this game was not high.

And when Campbell comes on the stage, even if his speed is average, his defense will not be too bad. At least he can stand up and give Lin Hong as much rest time as possible.

As for Bowen, he did his best both offensively and defensively, but ran wildly all the time, and Silver Fox was afraid that he would run away and be useless.

It's also a good thing for old Curry, a sharpshooter, to find the touch.

In the third quarter, the gongs continued.

Lin Hong watched from the sidelines with an extremely ugly face. Although he also scored 14 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks in the halftime, which almost filled the data column, the Lakers as a whole still had a crashing rhythm.

Originally, he was ambitious, smashing through the west like a dead man, stepping on the strong enemy in the east, and finishing defending the title forcefully, but the reality was that he was slapped hard.

After all, the first game of the first round was beaten like this, no matter how much you say, it will only increase the laughing stock.

The Blazers will use such players and tactics to restrain him, what about other teams?
Obviously, in future games, even if he defeats the Blazers and enters the second round, he will still be the focus of attention.

And his greatest existence value seems to be purely to attract firepower to his teammates?

Thinking of this, Lin Hong felt even more angry.

Convex (fuck dish f*ck)! ! !

Lin Hong couldn't help cursing his mother!

Regarding this, Yinhu didn't say anything. The current situation is not the responsibility of any one person.

It's not just Kobe's poor performance, it seems that the entire Lakers have fallen into a slump this time, and halfway through the third quarter, this problem has been exposed more thoroughly.

Disadvantages of apprenticeship!

It's just the first match of the first round, no one expected to encounter such a big resistance!
Campbell did not receive the same treatment as Lin Hong, because Sabonis alone defense is enough.

Although Campbell also has two brushes in offense, he is more than a little worse than his blocked shots, so he can only rely on his height and tonnage advantages to compete against Sabonis and exert his ability to protect the basket.

On the other side, Kobe, perhaps affected by the disadvantages in the first half, became more impatient both offensively and defensively, and the offense was quite difficult.

In a game, the importance of momentum is self-evident.

The Blazers took the lead, played more smoothly and bravely, not necessarily stronger defensively, but successfully suppressed the Lakers offensively.

On the other hand, the Lakers became more impatient and made mistakes again and again, which was too fatal for the playoffs.

It means that the two experienced veterans old Curry and Rodman can stabilize the situation, but they are just making do.

Trailing by 15 at halftime.

Halfway through the three quarters, the point difference was stretched to 22 points.

The Purple and Gold Corps seems to have reached a dead end, the Great Western Forum arena is wailing everywhere, and even many Lakers fans have left early, and can't bear to watch the Lakers being hanged by their opponents again.

after all……

The difference of 22 points is simply too terrible.

When the ball was dead, Yinhu called a timeout with a cold face.

There is no time to blame anyone for not playing well, but directly pick up the tactical board and arrange the breaking tactics.

On the TNT commentary table.

"The situation of the Lakers is very bad! Facing the steady Blazers, it is too difficult to recover 22 points in one and a half quarters!"

Albert frowned. Although he hoped that the Lakers would win, he couldn't think of any way for the Lakers to come back against the wind.

Kenny Smith said with a serious expression: "Don't be too pessimistic, if this happens in the regular season, no matter which team will basically give up.

But this is every playoff game that must be fought, and every game is very important. The Lakers will not let it go willingly. Maybe Lin will create a miracle! "

"Maybe, wait and see what new arrangement Silver Fox will have!"

The timeout was quite short, Silver Fox knocked on the tactical board, and poured everyone a bowl of chicken soup almost roaring.

At this moment, the emotions of the entire Lakers were mobilized to the extreme, and once again they were beaten like chicken blood, and stepped onto the field.

The starting five tigers gathered again, this is to give it a go.

Lin Hong got a half-time rest, and his physical fitness was not a problem at all, while Kobe and Rodman also got a rotation, and their physical fitness was quite abundant.

"Lin, it's up to you!" Kobe patted Lin Hong's big butt.

"Relax, don't stress!" Rodman also patted Lin Hong on the shoulder.

under pressure?
Of course Lin Hong was under pressure!
Because Silver Fox's tactic is very simple, which is to hand the ball to Lin Hong.

In other words, Lin Hong became the last hope for a comeback in this game. It would be a lie to say that there is no pressure.

But as the absolute core of the team, he must stand up.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, when have I let you down."

"Brothers, let me go, we have no way out!"

"gogogo!"

"Give me the scale!!"

In an instant, the Lakers' momentum rose sharply, and whether they could break the game depended on the next trembling.
