On the commentary stage, Barkley shook his head and lamented Lu Tailun's good luck. Even this kind of luck can score, which is really enviable!
Lu Tyron was picked by the Denver Nuggets with the 1998rd pick in the first round in 23, and then sent to the Los Angeles Lakers, starting his lucky thigh-holding career.

He only played 15 games in his rookie season, averaging 5.0 points and 1.7 assists per game, which is an average performance.

In the 1999-2000 season, his playing time was reduced to 8 games, and he averaged only 6.0 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. There was hardly much potential to be tapped.However, even grandma O'Neal and O'Neal teamed up to win the NBA championship. Lu Tyron was also tired of such luck and won a championship ring with the Lakers.

In the 2000-2001 season, Lu Tailun's appearances increased to 38 games, but the statistics were very bleak, averaging only 3.4 points and 1.2 assists per game. Originally, with his performance, he could not gain a foothold in the big stage of the NBA.

However, no one thought that in the 2001 NBA Finals, the unknown Lu Tailun was really popular.

Because the Lakers' main point guard, Derek Fisher, is a heavy guard, strong and strong, but not fast.Let him defend Allen Iverson, who is good at defending speed, very disadvantaged and passive, and directly let Iverson play a shocking momentum, leading the team alone, defeating the undefeated and invincible Lakers in the playoffs.

Subsequently, the shrewd Zen master Jackson waved his hand and replaced the surprise soldier Lu Tailun to defend Iverson and implement the sub-exchange tactic.

The two have the same height, both 183cm, have good speed, and play the same style. As long as Lu Tailun keeps his defense and does not lose his position, Iverson's scoring efficiency can be reduced. In the end, no matter how Iverson performs, Only the Lakers will have the last laugh.

Lu Tailun used tactics to defend Iverson, but he didn't have the answer to prevent the explosion. Iverson still averaged more than 31 points per game, and even staged a classic show of ending the ankle.

Iverson used the crossover technique, like a butterfly wearing a flower, knocked Lu Tailun down, stepped over his body, and scored a layup directly.

Lu Tailun, who suffered the "humiliation of the crotch", became the background of the classic scene of Iverson's strongest battle, which was played repeatedly and was well known by the fans.

Lu Tailun's fame soared because of this, although he became famous not because of his strength, but because of Iverson's crotch.However, Lu Tailun didn't care at all, in his words: I don't care, others remember Iverson, they also remember me!
Lin Bai, who was sitting off the field, stared at Lu Tailun with some emotion in his heart.

Who would have thought that in Lin Bai's previous life, Lu Tailun, who was very emotionally intelligent and averagely capable, would not only get a good contract, but would eventually become an NBA head coach. The identity to win the NBA championship.

It's just that he, Lu Tailun, sometimes misses, and Hill and McGrady are obviously not real thighs.

In addition to Lu Tailun's good performance, Drew Gooden, who came off the bench, also performed well and played brilliantly.

With a strong style of play, he directly catches the ball in the low position, confronts Diop hard, and relies on Diop's body to forcefully kick up and score the basketball.

Drew Gooden, who has a solid technique, also has a good mid-range shot. In the 10th minute of the second quarter, he made an air cut to the free throw line.

The two substitute titans took the lead and blew the horn of the Magic's counterattack.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic played well offensively, and Juwan Howard also played like a fish in water in the chaos, as one of the "Five Tigers of Michigan".Although he was crowned with the hat of high salary and low ability, his strength is very strong. He averaged 17.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in his rookie season, full of potential. In the second year, he averaged 22.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The all-star lineup, and even signed a contract of 1996 million yuan.

His offensive skills are very gorgeous, catch and shoot, low singles, turn around and jump shot, etc., all of them are excellent, giving people a sense of omnipotence in offense, scoring consecutive points, against Boozer Er, there is nothing he can do about it.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers' offensive scoring is not down.

James is still very strong, playing the posture of "full force James", shooting from inside and outside, forcing points one after another, not forgetting to respond, and cooperating with Boozer in the pick-and-roll, frequently hitting the basket, causing damage, 7 of 5 shots in a single quarter, He scored 14 points and withstood the Magic's offensive.

McGrady still performed brilliantly after playing, returned to the court in the 6th minute, and immediately arced at the top of the three-point line, facing Eric Williams' defense, directly on the opponent's head, hit a three-pointer .

Then, he cut to the basket, received a wonderful pass from Lu Tailun, and jumped up after catching the ball. The height in the air was very stretched and elegant, and he directly smashed the dunk with one hand, and smashed the basketball into the basket.

After his own offense opened, he played a supporting pass, assisted Juwan Howard and Drew Gooden to score easy dunks under the basket, and organized forward tactics with ease.

Against James, who is in hot form, he was able to fight evenly. He scored 10 points and 4 assists in a single quarter. The performance of the superstar was incisive and vivid.

In the eastern Christmas theater, the battle was in full swing, and when blood was pouring out, the western theater had already come to an end.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 14 points. In the second quarter, under the force of the "OK combination", the Lakers fought back. The two scored in double figures and scored 23 points together. Single digits, enter the halftime break.

Back from a break, the third quarter started, Kobe turned into a murderous god, he made a fadeaway jumper from the opening three-point line, hit a three-pointer steadily, and then defended Cutino Mobley's breakthrough Layup, staged a good show of one-stop counterattack, dunk directly behind the basket, let the fans praise once, wonderful offensive and defensive integration, beautiful counterattack score.

And this was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, the fake three-point shot from the top arc made a real breakthrough, swayed the defense, took a step to the free throw line, and hit a two-pointer with an emergency stop jumper.

Capable of both inside and outside, offensive and defensive, Kobe used his crazy performance to score points as easily as drinking water. He scored 15 points in a single quarter, led the Lakers, played a smooth offensive, and directly pulled the score back. Go-ahead.

Just when everyone thought that Kobe, incarnated as the God of Killing, was about to reap the victory in the fourth quarter and destroy the Rockets.

In the Staples Center arena, amidst the incredible sighs of regret from the fans and spectators, it was obvious that Kobe's backward shooting posture and shot rhythm were picturesque, and the basketball flew in the air, drawing a beautiful arc.

Why did the basketball hit the iron directly in the end?

Even Kobe himself was [-]% bored. It was obvious that his hands were hot just now, and he was in such a good state that he felt hot, but suddenly, he was disconnected, and his skills seemed to have cooled down.

However, he doesn't believe it, he believes that if he continues to shoot, the next ball will definitely hit, and he won't be intimidated by the sound of iron hammering in front of him...

He made 8 of 1 shots. In the end, Kobe turned into an iron maniac, directly extinguishing the Lakers' red-hot offensive.
