NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 208 Invest in labor and capital again

The sixth game of the Lakers VS Warriors began at the Oracle Center. In this game, Kobe finally broke the iron shortage of the first two games. The Lakers relied on Kobe's scoring to tightly bite the score against the Warriors.

Phil Jackson told Kobe to reduce his shots after the last game, but Kobe still did it alone in this game. The difference is that he has a good touch in this game, and he has scored 30 points in the first three quarters.

In the last quarter, the Warriors replaced Crawford in order to strengthen their offense.The Lakers have always had problems with Crawford's defense. It was more obvious when Fisher was on the court and couldn't keep up with the speed. Except for Fisher, the other two substitutes couldn't control the rhythm well.

Crawford stood up at the critical moment, and Li Zhi felt a little lucky.His hand feeling is very poor today, reaching 19 of 5 and scoring 13 points with free throws. In the fourth quarter, he can no longer find his hand feel unscrupulously. Now he would rather be a blue-collar to defend.As long as this pizza is won, the Warriors will advance.

The Warriors sent O'Neal, Milicic, Li Zhi, Barnes, and Crawford.Nelson arranged for Crawford to play singles. This was to make a big fuss about the slow pace of the Lakers guards. Nelson also knew that Li Zhi had a problem with his touch. He did not arrange Li Zhi to play singles in the fourth quarter. Even Jordan played abnormally. Nelson did not complain about Li Zhi.

O'Neal and Milicic set up pick-and-rolls for Crawford, and Li Zhi waited for an opportunity in the low post. As long as Crawford attracted the defense, he would pass the ball to him.Li Zhi's current role is very similar to Barnes, even if he doesn't score, he can help the team win.

When everything was developing steadily, an accident happened. The Lakers knew that the back line could not guard Crawford, so they fouled Crawford fiercely.All indications are that this seems to have been planned in advance.

When Crawford broke through with the dribble, Vujacic, who was in charge of defense, made an obvious kick. Jackson and Barnes' fouls on Kobe were just intimidating and did not cause substantial damage, but Vujacic's one made Crawford fall to the ground in pain.Crawford held his calf with both hands, unable to stand up for a long time.

Vujacic's foul was obviously aimed at people, and Barnes rushed up immediately, and the players on both sides had a dispute again.

Barnes pushed Vujacic in the past and pushed Vujacic directly to the ground.

The referee came over and directly gave Vujacic a second-degree malicious foul and was expelled.Barnes got a technical foul because of impulsiveness.Barnes had already been called a technical foul for defending Kobe too much, and now he will be sent out.

The Lakers used a piece of leftover material to fight off the two generals of the Warriors, and the Oracle Arena immediately rang out boos.At the critical moment, the Lakers chose to linger in this way.

Barkley was furious, and said, "Phil Jackson is too bad. If he can't beat him, he will order his players to disable the opponent's players. What rubbish!"

Kenny Smith also said: "This is really too much. Vujacic has no professional ethics and should be suspended. It's just a pity for Barnes. Now the Warriors are missing two generals. I don't know how the next game will develop."

Many fans who were watching the game also expressed their opinions. Many NBA forums denounced Vujacic's villainous behavior. In addition, many Lakers fans also stood up. Such lingering made them feel sick.

Without Barnes and Crawford, the Warriors replaced Nick Young and Jackson. Whether they can help the Warriors at this time is still a mystery.

After the substitution, Li Zhi continued to defend Kobe on the outside. Kobe relied on the pick-and-roll to get rid of Li Zhi to catch the ball, and then the Lakers took the second screen, and Kobe faced O'Neal.

Facing his old enemy, Kobe didn't make a sudden move, but chose an emergency stop jumper to score two points.

Kobe has already scored 4 mid-range shots in this way, the Warriors shot iron, and the Lakers took the opportunity to overtake the score, leading the Warriors by 7 points.

Nelson was running around anxiously on the sidelines, requesting a timeout at the critical moment. Without Crawford, Li Zhi had to stand up.Nelson arranged for Jackson to defend Kobe, replaced Morrow at the point guard to ensure outside firepower, only O'Neal was on the inside, and Gerald Green was on top of the fourth position.

Nelson doesn't know if this approach will work, and he's now putting all his eggs in one basket.On the defensive end, Li Zhi only needs to defend Ariza, and the rest of his energy is devoted to offense.Even if his offense is not good today, but the team needs him, he can only stand up.

Compared to the panting O'Neill, Li Zhi was obviously more confident.

The fans regret that if it weren't for Crawford, the Warriors would definitely be able to win the Lakers.Now that they have a general on board, everything is uncertain.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for initiating the hidden mission: Mr. Fourth Quarter. Mission Requirement: Reverse the game in the fourth quarter. Mission Punishment: None, Mission Reward: Unknown."

Li Zhi clenched his fist, even if there is no systematic task, he will stand up, and now he has more reason to stand up.Now, what Li Zhi has to do is to score, equalize, and overtake.

In the past, Li Zhi admired those gentlemen in the fourth quarter. They turned the tide on the court and made people excited. The most famous key man in the NBA is the peak McGrady, who defeated the Spurs in 35 seconds and 13 minutes. Kobe was relentless at the critical moment, and Wade turned the tide in the finals.Now, Li Zhi has the opportunity to become one of these people.

Li Zhi has yet to prove himself at the critical moment of the playoffs. In this playoffs, he exists as a role player. Although he scores a lot and has excellent defensive effects, his presence is not high.

The game restarted, and the Warriors had the ball.Li Zhi let go, they must win this game, as long as they win the Lakers, the Rockets are not a problem.

Li Zhi held the ball on the outside, and then O'Neal's pick-and-roll broke through to the inside, throwing Ariza away.Odom defended, Li Zhi Alexander, his heart was beating, and his legs had endless energy.At this critical moment, the whole world is watching him...

He wants to ensure efficiency, and he wants to score as much as possible. Odom has fouled four times, so he can't be persuaded.Li Zhi dribbled the ball to the bottom line, Odom continued to follow him, Li Zhi faced the frame, and Odom stared straight at Li Zhi's basketball.

Odom became ruthless and shot suddenly, trying to steal Li Zhi.Behind Li Zhi is the sideline, and he cannot retreat. There is only one dead end.At this time, Li Zhi suddenly threw the ball from Odom's crotch, his body dodged Odom's impact, grabbed the basketball and rushed towards the basket.

Odom didn't expect Li Zhi to make such a move, and he lost his focus and fell to the bottom line.

In front of Li Zhi was an empty basket, and he directly pulled out his hand.This position is Li Zhi's sweet spot, one step inside the three-point line from the bottom corner, and he has scored countless mid-range jumpers here.

Come in, come in!
The fans shouted in their hearts, but the basketball bounced out of the basket at this time. Li Zhi's hand felt so bad that he got rid of the defense and didn't make a shot.

Bynum took the backcourt rebound and passed it to Kobe for a fast break. After entering the three-point line, Kobe suddenly stepped back and made a three-point shot.A three-pointer was scored, Kobe turned his head to look at Li Zhi, his eyes were cold.

This is a move that Li Zhi often uses, fast-break three-pointers, but now Kobe used his method to give the Warriors a fatal blow.

88:98, the Warriors trailed the Lakers by 10 points.

The Warriors were silent, and everyone felt Kobe's horror. Although they scolded Kobe and mocked Kobe's shooting percentage, when Kobe turned into the black mamba, he was helpless.

Li Zhi got the ball again, and his current state is like James in the 07 Finals.Li Zhi witnessed the final battle with his own eyes. James didn't feel good, but his teammates also didn't feel good. He especially needed the help of his teammates, but his teammates also needed him.

Pass the ball?
Do not!
Li Zhi made a breakthrough with the ball, and Ariza pounced on him. Li Zhi turned and dodged and missed Ariza. Now he doesn't feel good, can't jump shot, and can only go to the basket.O'Neal blocked Bynum, and Odom was the only one who came to assist in the defense. Gerald Green tried his best to cover, and Odom pushed Green angrily, but Green didn't know where the strength came from, so he blocked Odom firmly.

Li Zhi made a layup, 90:98.
Li Zhi and O'Neal and Gerald Green clapped hands.When returning to defense, Li Zhi thought of O'Neill and Green's firm eyes just now, he clenched his fists, his teammates haven't given up yet, and I can't give up either.

Kobe finally missed. Jackson tried his best to take off and interfere with Kobe's shooting.Against Ariza, Li Zhi made a layup. 92:98
Ariza made a small defensive move just now. He pulled Li Zhi's jersey with his hand, but the action was very secretive.

The situation of the Lakers is the same as that of the Warriors. Except for Kobe, everyone else feels cold. For the Warriors, Morrow has a three-point threat and can help Li Zhi reduce the defensive pressure. But Kobe is not so lucky. He is facing the toughest defense of the Warriors.In this attack, Kobe missed a jumper.

The Warriors attacked, Li Zhi broke through and made a foul, and Odom made five fouls, but Phil Jackson did not make substitutions, and the Lakers had no one available.Replace Mbenga, he is worse than Odom.

Li Zhi made two free throws and the Warriors trailed by 4 points.

On the defensive end, the Warriors tried their best to bite Kobe. Kobe faced Jackson's mental and physical double attack, and finally made a mistake. Jackson hugged the incoming ball and wrestled with Kobe on the ground.

The referee came over, looked at the scene, and let the two sides compete for the ball.Jackson picked up the basketball and waved his arms fiercely at the fans in the audience. The Warriors fans gave Jackson huge applause.This man, like in 07, used his tenacity to bring passion to the team as always.

At the beginning of the scrimmage, Kobe jumped over Jackson, but Li Zhi ran out of the crowd in an instant, dared to get the basketball before Fisher, and ran towards the basket. Fisher chased behind him, but Li Zhi opened the distance with him in three steps and made a layup.

96:98, the Warriors are now only 2 points behind.

Phil Jackson called for a timeout, a two-point gap, and in the final 57 seconds, players on both sides were nervous.

Jackson arranged tactics, they adopted man-to-man tactics, and let Li Zhi play singles.Odom was re-placed on the court by Jackson. At this time, Odom was placed on the power forward by Jackson. As long as Li Zhi entered the penalty area, Odom would strictly guard Li Zhi.On offense, Jackson didn't have a tactic. He just drew a few times on the tactical board, and then said: "We must let Kobe get the ball, and everyone else will open up space, open up space for Kobe to play alone."

Kobe was expressionless, and Jackson said again: "I believe you, the Lakers dynasty should not stop here, we still have a longer way to go."

Kobe hummed, all he thinks about is getting the ball and winning the game.Phil Jackson has to admit that although he sometimes doesn't like Kobe fighting alone, but at critical moments, Kobe is the most trustworthy person.

The game restarted, and everyone held their breath. Some hoped that the Lakers could win the game, and some hoped that the Warriors would defend against the Lakers.

Kobe had no choice but to fight on.Gasol's injury has been evaluated again, and he needs to rest for two weeks, that is to say, as long as the Lakers can reach the finals, Gasol can return.After winning this game, the Lakers are united, and the next time they return to the home court for a tiebreaker, they have a great chance to continue.

Kobe took the ball from the outside, Li Zhi didn't defend closely, but waited for Kobe one step away.Kobe didn't rush to attack, he had to waste time, wait until the last few seconds to attack again.Li Zhi did not put pressure on Kobe, stealing is not a good choice at this time.

Kobe watched the time on the timer getting less and less, and calculated silently in his mind. In the last 7 seconds, Kobe suddenly moved.Li Zhi took a deep breath and followed Kobe.

Kobe held the ball in his right hand, dribbled it from his crotch to his left hand, and then gave the ball to his right hand after making a move. Li Zhi followed in small steps. He could not foul, but gave Kobe a fatal blow when he broke through.

Sure enough, Kobe chose to break through, dribbled the ball to the center line, made an emergency stop and stepped back for a jumper.

The arc of Kobe's shot was not high. Li Zhi and him did not release their bodies, but opened their hands to grab the basketball.Kobe looked terrified.

This guy, can't catch a basketball!
A second later, Kobe smiled, and the basketball was about to fall into the hoop.Li Zhi felt a piercing pain in his fingertips, and turned to look at the basketball.

bang... bang...

The basketball smashed twice in the basket, swiped it around again, and suddenly jumped out.

"Backboard!"

Kobe roared and rushed to the inside, O'Neal pushed Kobe and Bynum away, Li Zhi rushed into the penalty area, Odom wanted to take off, but Gerald Green instantly came to Odom and blocked his position.

The rebound was held in Li Zhi's arms, and Nelson immediately asked the referee for a timeout.

There are still 24 seconds left, just one attack, and it took a few seconds to grab a rebound.

Nelson gave Li Zhi the chance for the final attack, and Li Zhi held the ball outside the three-point line, which was the same as Kobe's choice, consuming time.

The Lakers did not adopt foul tactics. Phil Jackson did not believe that Li Zhi could make a shot.

The time passed by second by second. At 8 seconds, Li Zhi accelerated a step, threw Ariza away and rushed towards the three-point line. The Lakers had no help defense. They could accept Li Zhi to score two points in the restricted area, which would leave the Lakers with a few seconds. They still have a chance to kill.

But Kobe's eyes widened in the next moment, and Li Zhi suddenly stopped at the three-point line and shot without hesitation.

"Oh!"

The audience let out a long sigh, no entry!

Phil Jackson had a smile on his face, young man, he is still too insane, I give you two points.But his smile froze in the next moment, and a hoarse voice came from the field.

"Stinky boy, aren't you fucking accurate? Give labor and capital another vote."

O'Neal!It's O'Neill!He threw the basketball out from the inside, and it happened to fall into Li Zhi's hands.

O'Neal had a chance for a putback, but he pulled the ball away.

Kobe shouted loudly: "Be on guard!" Ariza came to his senses and rushed towards Li Zhi, but it was too late, Li Zhi had already made a shot, and it was Ray Allen's three-pointer who had made countless shots.

"Shh!"

in!

!!!

we won!Lore!The time is just right!

"Old man, isn't it just a three-pointer!" Li Zhi looked at O'Neill and said lightly.
