NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 419 Restricted Area Harvester!
The scores of the two sides on the field climbed alternately. Unlike the Lakers, the Jazz blossomed inside and outside, defended and counterattacked very resolutely, and their offensive efficiency was a bit higher than the Lakers.

More than halfway through the final quarter, the 22-point difference has been eroded by the Jazz to 14 points visible to the naked eye.

However, every time Lin Hong scored a goal, the anger value of all Jazz members increased by one point. After all, the ladder to the sky was built with the dead bones of Jazz players.

Lin Hong went berserk throughout the game, making 32 of 23 shots, an astonishing 71.8% shooting rate, and 17 of 13 free throws, and his shooting rate in this category also reached 76.4%, far exceeding the average level.

So far, Lin Hong's score has quietly reached 59 points.

In addition to the amazing scoring explosiveness, the data of 22 rebounds, 6 assists, and 6 blocks also exploded.

"Lin, you are so awesome tonight! Let's talk about it first. When we play the Knicks in the next finals, remember to let my brother have a good time!"

Taking advantage of the timeout when the Jazz called for a timeout, Rodman glanced at Lin Hong enviously, but looking at his career, he actually played quite well, because he played the rebounding method to the extreme.

1991-92赛季的一场面对步行者的加时赛里，罗德曼全场出战45分钟，拿下了又一个另外类的“30+10”——10分34篮板。

34 rebounds is not only the highest number of rebounds in Rodman's career, what's even more awesome is that 34 of the 18 rebounds are offensive rebounds.
But to say that the most bizarre game of Rodman's career must be this famous 0 points and 28 rebounds.

At the beginning of the season when he joined the Spurs in the 1993-94 season, he didn't score a point in a game against the Hornets, but he grabbed 28 rebounds. You must know that Mourning and Johnson on the opposite side combined only 26 rebounds.

Such a partial game performance is absolutely unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future, right?
"If you want to be cool, let's talk about it after reaching the finals!" Kobe gave Rodman a white look.

"Is there any suspense in the finals?"

Rodman pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Let Shaq wash his ass and wait for me, I can't wait!"

Let the big shark clean his ass?

No matter how it sounds, it feels very heavy.

The generals of the Lakers burst out laughing, and in the tense and solemn atmosphere of the Devil's home court in Salt Lake City, it was extremely glaring.

"Let's go, let's overthrow Salt Lake City first!"

Lin Hong laughed and waved his hands, and the Zijin Army set off again.

Looking at the players who were tight inside and loose outside, Yinhu laughed so hard that he couldn't close his legs. As for the tactical arrangement, he also arranged a dogleg, just hand the ball to Lin Hong.

All he has to do now is to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for his acceptance speech.

The Jazz is close to falling, and the only thing left now is to defeat the Knicks, aspire to the nba championship, and achieve two consecutive championships.

And there is no doubt that after winning the championship last season, Lin Hong entered the finals for the second consecutive year, entered the history of the Lakers team strongly, and forged an undisputed center throne.

back on the field.

The Lakers' offense continued to revolve around Lin Hong, but because of his crazy fast-break running in the first half, his physical fitness was close to bottoming out, and the offense became extremely difficult. Fortunately, he still had a 14-point lead to make the bottom, so it didn't have to be too much panic.

So Lin Hong started the high-position support mode, and after attracting double-teams, he decisively distributed the ball to the open teammates. After all, the ship will capsize in the gutter, and safety is more important than everything else!
Within 2 minutes, the two sides attacked each other for several rounds.

Lin Hongqiang ate Foster, made another defensive foul, made two free throws, and broke through the 60-point mark.

And Foster also left the field with 6 fouls, and Antoine Kyle could only go to the fifth position again.

And the next 1 minute!

The Lakers attack.

Bryant shielded himself and dribbled the ball upfield.

Lin Hong raised the top line of the arc and set him up as a pick-and-roll.

Huo Li, who was standing on the weak side on the left, understood and immediately withdrew.

Brian Russell, who followed him, was called out to near the three-point line.

Stockton, who was chasing, was about to bypass the pick-and-roll, but was blocked by Lin Hong's generous body.

Kobe immediately took the ball to the right and down.

Antoine Carr immediately rushed to cover the defense.

After Lin Hong withdrew the pick-and-roll, he rushed to the three-second zone under the basket.

Kobe, who was blocked by Antoine Carr, immediately threw the ball to the basket with a small throw.

"Bang!"

The ball is out of the basket!

Jazz guard Hornacek at the basket saw the basketball bouncing towards him and reached out to catch it.

but--

At the scene of the Devil's home court in Salt Lake City, I suddenly remembered a burst of exclamation.

Lin Hong had rushed behind Hornacek, and kicked his feet off the ground.

The moment the basketball just fell into Hornacek's hands.

Lin Hong forcefully snatched the basketball from him.

Hornacek, who thought he was a surefire rebounder, seemed to be slammed out of the baseline by a high-speed truck.

next second!
Lin Hong's two long arms protruding from the basket fiercely smashed the basketball into the basket.

"Bang!"

After the dunk, the basket pulled up and roared wantonly.

Lin Hong scored 63 points, tying the highest score in a single game in the playoffs!
this moment……

The Devils in Salt Lake City wailed and wailed all over the field, but the Great Western Forum Arena cheered and screamed constantly.

Even the owner of the Lakers, Old Bass, joined the carnival crowd and witnessed this sacred moment together with tens of thousands of Lakers fans!
……

Lin Hong crossed his hips and was panting like a cow, bean-sized beads of sweat kept coming out of his forehead. He almost ran out of ammunition and food, and the fuel tank was almost bottomed out.

Although this game only lasted 40 minutes, the intensity of the confrontation was full. It is no exaggeration to say that it was even more tiring than playing a full game and 1 overtime in the past.

Lin Hong glanced at the silver fox on the sidelines, and the other party also understood, and with a big wave of his hand, most of the main players were replaced!

The last 2 minutes of the tiebreaker.

The Lakers still maintained a 12-point lead. Center Campbell, power forward Ben, and point guard Bowen replaced the game. Eric Snow and Horry were still present.

Although the offense of this lineup is so-so, the defense should not be underestimated. With the substitute's physical fitness abundant, it is still a very simple matter to defend 2 points in 12 minutes...

Only Lin Hong's end made Lakers fans feel a little regretful and puzzled.

63 points, even if he scores one more goal or one more free throw, Lin Hong can surpass Jordan and occupy the single-game scoring champion in the playoffs.

Such a gift package of glory cannot be easily given up on anyone.

For example, Devin Booker in the 16-17 season.

In the Suns game against the Celtics, when the Suns were still more than ten points behind in the last minute, teammates intentionally fouled and sent the Celtics players to the free throw line, allowing Booker to get a chance to score.

In the end, with the help of the whole team, Booker scored 70 points, not only becoming the highest scoring star in active service, but also the youngest 70-pointer in NBA history.

But Lin Hong chose to retreat bravely.

On the one hand, it is due to physical fitness, and on the other hand, his current achievements are already dazzling enough, and it is the most reasonable way to retreat bravely.

In this regard, Kobe, Rodman and others were very surprised. After all, the temptation of the single-game scoring champion in the history of the playoffs is not something ordinary people can withstand.

As for the little brother Lin Hong...

You can say that he is old-fashioned. In the first game against the Jazz, his mentality exploded and he missed all free throws.

But you say he is young, the growth rate throughout the playoffs is amazing, especially in this game, facing the temptation to aspire to the top of the single-game scoring list in the history of the playoffs, even any super giant dare not say that he can 100% refuse.

The game continues, and the game is in full swing.

The Lakers' rotation lineup played online, but the Jazz's counterattack was also extremely fierce.

Playing until the end of the game, the point difference was chased to only 4 points left, and the score was finally fixed at 119:115.

The Lakers won the away tiebreaker, got the promotion tickets with difficulty, and joined the finals with the New York Knicks who advanced ahead of schedule!
The dream finals...

实现了!
Happiness came so suddenly, all the generals of the Lakers were in a daze, and their reactions were a little slow.

Daben and Rodman directly dragged Lin Hong up, surrounded by everyone and threw him into the air, even the gentlemanly Silver Fox joined in...

This is the second consecutive year the Lakers have reached the Finals!
The LOGO West, who is far away in the Great Western Forum Arena, showed his aunt's smile.

When he remembered the doubts and abuse he suffered when he fought against all opinions and won Lin Hong regardless of the cost, he wished he could hold a press conference now, put the microphone in front of the reporters, and ask them one thing...

You fucking tell me to take Lin Hong now, is it worth it! !

The Lakers reached the Finals for the second consecutive year after selecting Lin Hong!
This season is definitely the exclusive stage for the Lakers, and now they are short of knocking down the Knicks and defending the NBA championship.

There is no doubt that Lin Hong has cast an undisputed center center throne.

Post-match press conference time.

The Lakers were in high spirits, and the reporters were looking forward to it, but Lin Hong was lying in the locker room and sleeping soundly.

It's really not his fault, it's like after three days and three nights, the last drop of essence has been drained, and the body no longer belongs to him for a short time.

The reporters were dumbfounded when they didn't see Lin Hong's figure for a long time! !
What an international joke? !

If Lin Hong doesn't come, let's interview a chicken feather?

Hearing Yinhu's rotten rhetoric, the reporters on the scene rioted.

63 points, 23 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks, such unbelievable statistics, the person concerned is not here, so how to write tomorrow's report?Just hang up a dry data?
Although this data alone is shocking enough, without the 'touching' speech from the person concerned, I always feel that something is missing...

Yinhu guessed that the reporters would keep complaining, but he didn't expect it to reach the level of a riot. In the end, he had no choice but to have Lin Hong carried out of the locker room.

As soon as the dazed Lin Hong arrived at the scene, he leaned on the chair and continued to sleep soundly...

The entire press conference was in chaos, and the scene became a mess.

"Fake, please calm down!!"

Silver Fox couldn't control the situation any longer, so he could only use his trump card: "Security, security, whoever yells and disturbs the order, I will drag them out!"

Whoa!
Hearing that the silver fox got angry, the scene finally became much quieter, and no one dared to touch this bad head and make a fool of himself.

If he was really kicked out, how would he write a report when he went back? !

A picture at the beginning, the content is all based on editing?

"Everyone line up, ask questions one by one, if you have no problem, just sit down for me honestly!"

After all, it was the champion of the Western Conference, and the reporters at this press conference couldn't be driven away, but the always gentle Silver Fox didn't show any mercy, and successfully calmed down the reporters.

"Lin, first of all congratulations on winning the tiebreaker!"

It was a confident female reporter who was pointed out. As the first person to ask a question, she was so excited that she couldn't help herself, "I want to ask, do you have confidence in the finals against the mighty Knicks?"

what's the situation?
Congratulations to the Lakers?

You are asking Silver Fox!
Sure enough, the bear has no brains! !
Lin Hong yawned, and replied with sleepy eyes: "It's not my job to play the Knicks alone, you can ask our coaches, or ask Shaq... do they have the confidence to fight with us! "

Fuck, is this a declaration of war on the Knicks?

The reporters on the scene recorded the questions and answers between Lin Hong and the reporters, and the reporter who was called the second continued to dig holes.

"I would like to ask... In the last 3 minutes of this game, you have time to break Michael Jordan's record of 63 points. Why don't you continue to play?"

Continue playing?
You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk.

Lin Hong replied dispiritedly: "I'm tired, I can't move anymore!"

This... what the hell is this stepping on a horse?

Although what Lin Hong said was true, the reporters on the scene were still taken aback.

You must know that Lin Hong has reached the top of the block list, rebound list and scoring list in the playoffs, and the top five lists alone occupy the top three.

The rebounding list is even more dominant, and the top three are all rounded up by Lin Hong alone.

It's just that the scoring list is tied with Jordan for the top spot, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment.

Yawning again and again, Lin Hong was perfunctory to the reporters, and finally transferred their firepower to the tool man Yinhu!

It is worth mentioning that the major awards of the regular season have all been announced so far. Since Lin Hong was suspended for the regular season and missed too many games, the regular season mvp was collected by the postman Malone, which is also a consolation prize for losing.

As for the best coach, it was Jeff Van Gundy of the Knicks, and the Silver Foxes also missed the election.

"Coach Harris, what do you think about the loss of the best coach award this season?"

The reporter who was pointed suddenly asked a question.

Where did you find the second idiot?

Really rubbing salt in the wound! !

Are you sure you're awake? !
Silver Fox was quite happy at first, but at this moment, he almost broke his defense. How can I feel? !

What a fart, the Knicks led by Jeff Van Gundy has the No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference, and the Lakers' regular season record is not much worse, but the Silver Foxes have never thought about it.

"This season? Maybe you should take a longer view!"

Yinhu replied with a cold face: "This season we will definitely defend the title, and next season... just look, we want all the awards, all the honors, we want to build a dynasty."

"Oh, by the way, the league actually owes Lin an MVP trophy, just because Lin missed more than a dozen games."

"Here, I solemnly remind those players who have won this award that it is best to hide the missed trophy next season against the Lakers, because...we are playing elite players!"

hiss!
If you don't give out prizes, then beat the winners?

Coach Silver Fox turned black too! !
Los Angeles Lakers, you are unreasonable!
There was an uproar at the scene. This was the first time that Silver Fox had complained about missing the MVP in public.
