Coach Lee

Chapter 430 Failed to fight to the end after all

"Oh~~~"

Endless sighs sounded in the Bankers Center arena.

"Overtime! It turned out to be overtime!"

"That old man was so unnecessary! Anyway, we won in the end."

"It's hard to say in overtime. Several of our main players have fouled four or five times."

Pacers fans are sighing, but Lakers fans are rejoicing.

"yeah!"

"Escaped!"

"We still have a chance, as long as we seize it, we still have a chance to win the final championship!"

No matter when, the Lakers fans are so firmly supporting the team.Lakers Championship!This is their belief that they will never change.

And more neutral fans watched the excitement.

"This game is the final."

"How can it be called the finals without overtime?"

"This is the true level of the two teams."

"It's comfortable to watch a game without the referee making trouble."

On the court, in the rest areas on both sides, the players are also working hard to recover.

In the Pacers rest area, Larry Bird found Li Nan.

"Lee, Shaq's fouled five times."

Larry Bird reminded Li Nan again.Don't keep that great scourge on the field!

"okay, I get it."

Of course Li Nan knew what Larry Bird was talking about, but is it so easy to make a foul?Let's not talk about whether O'Neal is so easy to deceive. If he is deceived, what if the referee doesn't blow it?Isn't that a wasted opportunity?Li Nan didn't really want to do that.

"Coach, don't worry, we will win today."

Do you have to take it?

If it's the fourth quarter, Larry Bird is 80.00% sure.However, until now, this 80.00% has been reduced to only 50.00%.

In Larry Bird's view, Li Nan just cares too much about fame.

Does fame really matter?

Once you win the championship, nothing else matters!
It's just that Larry Bird also knows that he can't be forced at this time.If you are emotionally unstable at such a critical time, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"Well, I believe you!"

Patting Li Nan on the shoulder, Larry Bird called everyone over.

"Come on, listen up, overtime, you all have fouls, but don't be afraid, let me do it! You must not let your opponent score easily."

Having just experienced great joy, everyone's only thought at the moment is to win this championship!Otherwise, wouldn't the joy just now be in vain?

When he was about to play, Larry Bird asked Schmitz to say a few more words.

Schmitz nodded.
The Lakers have just experienced a great tragedy, and now they are coming back from the dead. To be honest, they are not in a good mood.If this resurrection from death turns into dying again later, the feeling will be unforgettable forever.

"Cheer up, guys, we haven't lost yet, we still have a chance!"

Unexpectedly, it was the young Kobe Bryant who said this!

With the burning fighting spirit in his eyes, this is Kobe now!As long as there is even the slightest chance, he doesn't want to give up.

"Yes, yes, guys, we still have a chance!"

This was echoed by O'Neill, "Overtime, we still have 5 minutes, believe me, I will destroy them, destroy everything! None of them can stop me!"

O'Neill is right, the Pacers really can't do anything about him.It's just that O'Neill is sweating profusely now, and his physical fitness has obviously declined.At the last moment, if he hadn't taken that rebound, they would have won.

Is such O'Neal still so reliable?
There must be a big question mark here.

Soon, the overtime game began.

Both sides had a full starting lineup, and no one was replaced. +
Re-jumping the ball, O'Neal didn't take off directly, and gave the ball to Schmitz, and the Pacers got the ball for the first wave of offense.

Or give it to Li Nan.

Li Nan asked for Schmitz's pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, O'Neal didn't come out. Li Nan directly chose to make an emergency stop jumper at the place where the free throw was down.

Bang!
This shooting point, which is usually very stable, has lost its touch now.

I don't know if I'm really tired, anyway, Li Nan's accuracy is really not very good now.

AC-Green scored the rebound, and the Lakers also played slowly.

Leave it to O'Neill!
However, something unexpected happened.

O'Neal took the ball, and O'Neal, who was still lifeless just now, became brutal in an instant.

Take the ball, give Schmitz a hard top, and take advantage of the opportunity to make a flexible turn.

And just such a turn, the referee's whistle sounded.

O'Neal didn't care that much, the whistle must have been fouled by the Pacers.

He still continued his actions.

He got the ball on the edge of the penalty area. With this turn, he directly entered the penalty area, took another step, and went straight up.

boom!
Another brutal dunk.

"And one!"

Hanging on the rim, O'Neal yelled excitedly.

Davis, who just arrived, almost got a shoe print from O'Neill.

However, O'Neal was very arrogant on the basket, but as soon as he landed, O'Neal withered.

"Offensive foul number 34 by the Lakers!"

That's right, O'Neal made an offensive foul.

When O'Neill turned around just now, his right elbow hit Schmitz's face directly.

"What? I fouled? Did you make a mistake?"

O'Neill's face was full of disbelief, why did he foul?In my impression, he didn't touch anything at all!

However, the referee said a foul, so let's make a foul.

O'Neill walked back dismissively.

However, on the sidelines, on the technical stage, he remembered the sound of "beep". Then, O'Neill saw Phil Jackson talking to Robert Horry, Horry also nodded, and walked to the sideline of the center line .

Substitution?Robert replaced Green?Is this not good? Robert is not a good offensive guy, and his defense is also poor, but Green is still reliable.

However, O'Neill found that Horry was walking towards him.

"Did you make a mistake? Replace me? Don't you want to win?"

At this time, Kobe's voice sounded from behind.

"Shaq, don't worry, although you were sent off, I'm still here, we won't lose."

Sent off?

O'Neill looked up at the technical statistics, and only then remembered that in the fourth quarter, the coach seemed to have told him to pay attention to the number of fouls.Before the extra time, there seemed to be a reminder.

"Do not!!!"

O'Neill shook his head and left the game.Sitting down on the bench, his eyes were eclipsed, and the whole person was blank, completely devoid of any superfluous expressions.

This is the feeling of being killed a second time after dying once, it is too noisy.

On the other side, Li Nan looked at Larry Bird on the sidelines, and at Schmitz, whose face was a little swollen on the bench.

"Phew~~~ After all, we still haven't been able to fight to the end."
