Chapter 443 Pushing the Lakers to Desperation
Kobe got angry thinking about O'Neal's attitude, and O'Neal also got angry when he saw Kobe talking to himself in such a superior tone.

"If it weren't for the championship, I would be teammates with you because of my mental illness." A sentence popped up in the mind of the two during their attack.

Because Kobe and his right arm O'Neal had conflicting views because of Neal's goal just now, even if Kobe understood that he couldn't speak to his brothers like that, but he was the boss, and O'Neal was just the best for him to win the championship. helper.

In order to suppress the high boos in the arena, Kobe told O'Neal in a different way that he never needs to be reminded that he has his own golf quotient and IQ.

With such a consciousness to guide Kobe, Kobe started the unsolvable singles mode. Facing Neil's winding defense, he got rid of Neil by one speed, one step, and then an emergency stop. With nimble and dreamy footsteps, Neil was out of the way, and after receiving the ball, he made a freehand jump shot. Unfortunately, Rashid predicted it. He jumped up and made an aerial interception. At the Lakers' home court, he staged a cap-catching block, and the audience stopped breathing for a moment. Yes, many fans also let out a sigh of loss.

Rashid passed the ball long to Hamilton who was running outside the three-point line amid the applause from his substitute teammates and cheerleaders. Nudged his opponent, leaped to grab the ball, and performed a flying one-stop layup on the road.

Kobe, who has always been bloody and rarely hated by others, felt that this was an insulting moment in his life. He made up his mind to make up for it. After seeing Rashid pass the ball to Hamilton, he ran all the way to chase Hamilton who accelerated and advanced with the ball. Hamilton went on He has a lot of basketball experience. While holding the ball, he saw Kobe chasing after him unconvinced. When he was about two meters away from the backboard, he collected the ball and made a playful fake layup. Kobe misjudged that he was about to make a shot. Leaping forward to block the block, he blocked the block in the air. Hamilton took advantage of the time difference when his block fell and made a quick shot, hitting the ball steadily with the board.

"This is the rhythm of losing? Black Mamba, what did you do? Inadvertently, the Pistons scored four points in a row."

Kobe was speechless, bit his lips with a solemn expression, passed the ball to Gary Payton calmly and silently, Gary Payton received the ball, and said with relief and encouragement: "Boss, it's okay. People make mistakes, and horses make mistakes. , Just be more careful next time, come on, I believe you will be able to lead us to victory and win the championship."

Kobe smiled in relief, stretched out his hand to pat him and said thank you.

The continuous unreasonable handling of the ball forced Kobe to re-examine himself and deal with each attack rationally.

Through the tentative attack from the beginning to this time, Kobe also clearly realized that even though the Pistons did not have an All-Star player, the Tigers are more terrifying than the average All-Star player, so they must be careful and attack carefully.

Kobe held the ball and advanced the frontcourt. Because he had just been praised in a one-on-one match, this time he took the initiative to choose to rotate the ball and connect his teammates to fight against the Pistons.

Thinking of the second leader of the team, because of the conversation just now, Kobe felt that O'Neal had a prejudice against him, so he took the initiative to pass the ball to O'Neal, and brought back his somewhat disappointed heart.

O'Neal didn't seem to ignore Kobe, saw the ball from Kobe, jumped up and grabbed the ball, didn't give Kobe an assist, and directly passed the ball to Malone. He tried twice with his hands and feet, smashed the ball hard, pushed Rasheed with his left shoulder, and stepped back after receiving the ball to meet Rasheed with a jumper. In everyone's sight, the ball drew an invisible arc connecting the basket.

"Wow...a good goal, a good goal! Ma Long scored by taking Rashid alone." The two commentators were the most excited. Every time the two sides scored a goal, they shouted a few words as if they were entertaining, and cheered for the stadium.

Ma Long's goal this time slightly eased the scoring shortage, and the fans' eyes once again shone with hope.

Although Kobe wanted O'Neal to make the pass just now, O'Neal had an opinion about him in his heart, so he didn't want to give him the assist data, so he redistributed the ball to Malone, and Malone made the shot. Malone lived up to his trust and hit the ball. In, he got an assist.

Kobe felt a big lump in his heart for a moment, staring at O'Neal, and said in his heart: "For the sake of winning, for the championship, I will not care about you for the time being."

When the Lakers' offense and defense were blocked, Malone took the initiative to stand up to share the burden for Kobe and O'Neal.

Especially Neal, he is relentless, and he will eat O'Neal and Malone alone when he has the opportunity. Even if he provokes O'Neal and Malone and gets blocked two or three times, he still does not give up cutting the ball, because this tactic combines three-two defensive tactics The effect obtained is very obvious.

With such an original tactic, they will not be far behind the Lakers with the F4 lineup.

Neil and his teammates always keep in mind the coach’s reminder that to play against the mighty Lakers, they must hold the score. Only by holding the score can they have a chance to win. Operate Malone and Gary Payton to create a luxurious F4 lineup, and directly aim at the championship. Before the start of the new season, when Gary Payton and Malone put on the Lakers jersey, everyone predicts Well, the championship this season will definitely be the Lakers. Can the Pistons compete with them?Many people regard this game as a battle of testing the waters, a battle of comparing the strengths of the two sides, what will the outcome be?The two teams are still fighting each other. Before the start of the game, many celebrities in the NBA were extremely unfavorable to the Pistons. They agreed that the Pistons would lose more than ten points after the first half or the first, second and third quarters. At this moment, it is almost the end of the third quarter, and the Pistons are only four points behind the Lakers. It is really hard to predict the final result of this game.

In order to suppress Neal in various statistics, Kobe started the harvest performance at the end of the third quarter. Difficult defense, defending against Kobe Bryant's three-for-one, and under his leadership, the Pistons shot three-for-two in the last three rounds. With his excellent defense and the overall performance of the team, not only did the Lakers not let the Lakers increase the score , also reduced the score to two points.

Due to the anxious score, the coaches and players of both sides actively sought solutions during the timeout. In order to win the game, Coach Brown arranged side covers, high pick-and-rolls, high screens, targeted split tactics, and Triangular tactics, he and his team members firmly believe that as long as they play united enough, selfless enough, use these tactics flexibly, make the tactics more complex and attack more proactively in front of the powerful Lakers, it should be no problem to win this game.

In the fourth quarter, the Pistons' personnel and tactical arrangement made the Lakers unable to understand. Taking advantage of the Lakers' ignorance, they beat the Lakers to an [-]-[-] spurt, overtaking them and leading them by five points. The Lakers coach hurriedly called a timeout.

After the timeout, O'Neal relied on his giant physical fitness and frequently made troubles inside. In just five rounds, he led the team to overtake the score.

In the upcoming victory, O'Neal scored six points in a row, saving the team from the brink of death.

Neil couldn't get used to Fatty O's being so against the heavens, and he was upset, so he decided to beat Fatty O'Neill forcibly, so he made eye contact with his teammates.

After the teammates received the conspiratorial look, they actively cooperated with him when he came back from the offense, because the teammates also expected someone to stand up to destroy the prestige of Fatty Ao, and let him know that not everyone is afraid of his skills, but for the sake of his own body.

Turning back, Neal relied on his flexible dribbling, sharp breakthroughs, and speed unrivaled except for Kobe, dodging in the air and switching his left hand to force O'Neal to regain the lead.

Neil's goal this time made the Pistons' momentum rise immediately, and they wanted to take the game away with an unstoppable momentum. More than a minute before the end of the game, the Lakers once led by more than ten points, and by now they were five points behind the Pistons. Everyone thought they were doomed.

At this moment, Kobe was resurrected from the dead again, with an unsolvable three-pointer, plus a post-up single and a turnaround jumper, to tie the score. It only took 40 seconds, and there were 36 seconds left in the game. Everyone in the Pistons They don't want to play overtime, because this is an away game, which is extremely unfavorable to them, so they rearranged, let them quickly score a two-pointer or three-pointer, and then quickly foul, but the person who fouled cannot be Kobe and free throw accuracy. opponent.

All members of the Pistons organized the final attack under tremendous pressure. Except for Neal who was holding the ball, the other four actively ran to block and dismantle for him.

However, due to a sense of tacit understanding, Hamilton won the dislocation opportunity by running around and back running after giving Neil a pick-and-roll. Neil predicted it accurately and in time, and passed the ball to Hamilton with one hand, and Hamilton quickly picked it up. The ball, facing Malone to block the block, switched his right hand to his left to avoid the block, and the shot was successful.

The audience was silent, only the voices of the Pistons cheerleaders and substitute players pierced through the eardrums of everyone in the arena. Loudly calling the coach to call a timeout, they want the Lakers to win because he made a big bet before the game, and threatened the coach that if the team loses, they will not only pay them money, but also report him and make him step down.

Under tremendous pressure, the Lakers coach called a timeout amid dissatisfied boos.
