Coach Lee

Chapter 425 Trouble

The conflict is neither too big nor too small.

The three referees gathered on the technical table to watch the defense, and then the three met to discuss.

At this time, the Pacers fans at the scene became restless.

"Technical criminal! Technical criminal! Technical criminal!"

O'Neal has already had a technical foul, if there is another one, the Lakers will be completely GG.The Lakers without O'Neal are lambs at the mercy of others.

In the rest area of ​​the Lakers, everyone stood up and stared at the referee.

"No! The referee won't be so ruthless! Two technical fouls in one round! This is absolutely impossible!"

O'Neill also lost his momentum at this time.

I was really too impulsive just now.I have been a veteran for so many years, why can't I hold back?
It's just that it's useless to regret now.The only thing he expected was for the referee to show mercy.

"I'm the number one star in the league! The referee will definitely take care of me!"

Phil Jackson watched all this indifferently, without any waves in his eyes.

Kobe looked at the referees, if possible, he hoped the referees would send O'Neal off.
On the Pacers side, Larry Bird kept saying, two or three meters away from the referee,

"Technical foul! That's a technical foul, old fellas."

"Did you hear that? The audience's eyes are sharp."

"Pull him off. You are the most impartial referees in the eyes of the fans. You can't cover up the 'criminal'."

Reggie Miller is also helping out with Larry Bird.

The big guy Schmitz was also attacking indignantly, saying bad things about O'Neill.

Everyone in the Pacers is looking forward to O'Neal being sent off.

Li Nan was the only one sitting on the bench with a towel on. No one could see that he was dozing off with his eyes closed.

Just when the atmosphere at the scene was so tense, the camera lens suddenly turned around.

Li Nan, who was alone on the bench, suddenly appeared on the big screen, as if what happened on the scene had nothing to do with him.

In the commentary seat, groom Albert and the others also looked at each other.

"Wow, we saw that when the whole court was paying attention to the referee's decision, Li was the only one who stayed out of it. What is this? Is this disunity? No! No! When the conflict broke out, Li was the first I rushed up and gave Shaq a shot. But in this tense moment, Li chose to stay quietly for a while. I suddenly knew why Li can show so much heart? Because Li can always be in such a situation Keep your mind calm for a moment."

Li Nan couldn't hear groom Albert's compliments on him.If he had known, he would never have told the old man that he was actually resting.

In the dozen or so playoff games, each game has a chance of playing about 46 minutes. Even if you have a strong body, you will be tired sometimes.

Therefore, whether it is on or off the court, Li Nan does not want to miss every minute of rest time.

beep!
After repeated discussions, the referee finally decided:
Rick Schmitz technical foul!
Give Shaq a verbal warning.

"Huh~" The Lakers breathed a sigh of relief.

O'Neal raised the corner of his mouth, "I'll just say it!"

Kobe felt a little regretful, but he also patted O'Neal's butt with a smile, "Come on, buddy."

"Black whistle, black whistle, black whistle!"

"Huh~~~"

Pacers fans became restless.

This is the Pacers' home court, so blatantly favoring the Lakers, don't these old men want to leave here safely?

However, no matter how restless it is, it is useless. The referee has already issued a result, and there is no possibility of changing it.

Kobe got to the free throw line, and this time, he made a solid hit.

70-80, 10 points difference.

Soon, the Pacers sent the baseline ball.

Another step-by-step running tactic.

However, this time, the Lakers gave the Pacers a lot of trouble.

pull!

Kobe pulls Li Nan!Fisher pulls Mark Jackson!Glenn Rice pulls Reggie Miller
The small actions of the Lakers became blatant, and the referee was indifferent!

The fairest old man Dick Bavetta was indifferent!
Then, the Pacers also began their own revenge.

Collide!push!top!
The Pacers made the Lakers' defenders suffer a lot.

However, the Lakers' suffering is very meaningful.

In this wave of Pacers' offense, Reggie Miller missed a shot.

As soon as AC-Green took the rebound, the Pacers fouled immediately.

Or send O'Neal to the free throw line!

Surprisingly, O'Neal made two free throws this time!

On the defensive end, the Lakers "do their best", and on the offensive end, O'Neal is not soft at critical moments.

At the end of the third quarter, 78-82, the Lakers chased the score back abruptly.

Here comes the trouble!

What the assistant coach feared before the game has now really happened.

"Crow's Mouth!"

During the break, Larry Bird gave the assistant coach a bitter look.

If the adjustment is not good, then the game in hand will fly.

However, Larry Bird did not put pressure on the players, he was still the same as before.In the fourth quarter, he played the same rotation lineup as before.

Best + Li Nan + Reggie Miller + Coleman + Crohill.

On the other side, the Lakers didn't dare to be careless at all, and went directly to O'Neal + Kobe + Glen Rice + Fisher + Horry.

This game is very likely to be the last one. It is impossible to rest and stay strong, so we must fight!

beep!
The fourth quarter begins.

As soon as they came up, both sides fought very fiercely!

Fighting fiercely will undoubtedly have a great impact on the Pacers, a shooting team.

The Pacers' shooting percentage plummeted.

In the previous three games, the Pacers faced fierce defenses.The Pacers' shooting percentages were pretty good at the time.

However, the Pacers' hit rate today was like a sudden power outage.

3 for 0, and 5 for 0, the Pacers only relied on Li Nan's breakthrough and foul to score two points in the fourth quarter.

But the Lakers relied on O'Neal's brutal inside offense to open up the situation.

After O'Neal scored two goals in a row, the Pacers immediately started fouling. As soon as O'Neal received the ball, he fouled directly.

O'Neal made 24 of 11 free throws in the first three quarters.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, O'Neal directly made 6 of 5 free throws!
Now it has become 30 of 16 free throws!
The Lakers took the opportunity to play a wave of 9-2, overtaking the score in one fell swoop.

87-84
The Pacers are in trouble!

Beep beep beep!
The Pacers paused.

Many viewers in front of the TV were happy.

"Hahaha, the Pacers are in trouble now."

"Shaq's free throws have never been soft at critical moments! This is a player with a big heart."

"Kobe played well. If it wasn't for Kobe's comeback, O'Neal would have such an outstanding performance today?"

"The Pacers will have a headache next, should they continue to kill the shark? Or not?"

The Pacers are indeed in trouble now.The defense can't be defended, and the offense can't be scored. How to adjust?
