Chapter 372 The Last Attack

The game time was obviously enough, but Lakers coach Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout. For the Lakers, O'Neal's dismissal was tantamount to breaking the backbone of their entire team.

"Samaki Walker is on the stage. He and Robert Horry will support the inside of the Lakers at the last moment. Two 2-meter power forwards have to face the impact of the Warriors' tall inside."

"The Warriors used No. 11 Dayao and No. 10 Rodman at the last moment. Yao is 20cm taller than Walker and Horry. With the length of his arms, as long as he has room to turn inside , the Lakers have a hard time stopping him from scoring."

"Obviously everyone knows that Yao Ming's free throws are also quite accurate, so no one has ever hacked the shark's tactic to hack Yao Ming, which is equal to giving points."

"And now that the score is tight, the Lakers will not attack Rodman without thinking. Rodman's free throws are definitely a little better than O'Neal's, hovering around 50%-60% all year round."

"O'Neal is off, but the game has to continue. The Lakers teenager Kobe has taken over the banner of offense. He is now the only offensive strength of the Lakers, and he will launch the offense with the ball."

"When the Warriors focused all their attention on Kobe, he faked a pass and passed it to the Lakers small forward Rick Fox. Fox made a hit from outside the three-point line, and the Lakers bit the score."

"The shooting percentages of both sides began to decline in the last quarter, and there were no points in the next two or three rounds. At 90:90, the two sides entered the final one-minute contest."

"It may be the last attack of the Lakers. Kobe must have come by himself. He chose the safest way of attacking the inside. He really deceived the referee's whistle. Dayao and Rodman held their heads in frustration. penalty."

"Kobe missed the first free throw. Rodman came up and hugged the scattered ball, walked past Kobe with a smile, and muttered in his mouth that he didn't know what he was talking about. Obviously Kobe ignored him."

"Rodman turned around and handed the ball to the referee. The referee hit the ground from the bottom line and passed it to Kobe, indicating that this is the last free throw and the two sides can grab rebounds."

"Kobe adjusted his hand feeling, sank his body slightly, got up and opened his hand to shoot, hit, and the Lakers led by one point at 91:90."

"Now the pressure is on the Warriors. They have to score on the next possession, or they have to foul immediately, send the Lakers to the free throw line, and then look for opportunities to shoot."

"Warriors coach Lenny called a timeout. At this time, any nab coach would call a timeout. How to play the last attack, who initiated it, and more importantly, let all players get enough rest time to play. Well, this is the last attack."

"No. 10 Dennis Rodman, if he stays on the court, it will only make the Warriors lack one attack point. After all, his attack power is almost zero, and defending four points is far easier than defending five points."

"Lenny was replaced by Pau Gasol, and Dayao was also replaced. At the critical moment, the opponent will definitely press the defense. The Warriors replaced No. 7 Jermaine O'Neal, two players with strong mobility and versatile scoring methods. The big inside, plus No. 1 McGrady and No. 33 Grant Hill, and No. 4 Billups, constitute the Warriors' five strongest attack points."

"No matter how the Lakers defend at the last moment, there will always be a Warriors player who will stand up and attack. What Lenny has to do is to put the easiest player on the court. The situation on the court is changing rapidly. No one knows the designed tactics. Whether it can be played, the combination of five scorers must be the safest plan."

"For the NBA's regular season or playoffs, the last few minutes of the fourth quarter can often be played for half an hour or even longer, because the head coaches of both sides will call timeouts, and then change players to arrange tactics. A few goals will determine the outcome of the entire game, and even determine whether your efforts this year will be in vain."

"McGrady served from the sideline of the front court, he passed back to Hill to receive the ball, No. 33 Grant Hill took the ball in the back court, dribbled the ball across the half court, and the final offensive horn sounded, although the Lakers lost the most important inside barrier O'Neal , but they are currently leading the score, defend the ball and they will have a chance to win this game."

"Kobe, the Lakers teenager, defended himself. He certainly didn't want to lose the game. Then after the game, the news media would say that O'Neal's absence at the last moment caused the Lakers to lose the game. Such words are obviously out of their hearts. Something the arrogant Kobe couldn't accept."

"Grant Hill reached out to stop Kobe, and kept hitting the ball with the other hand. First, the Warriors would spend more than ten seconds, leaving the last 7 seconds to launch the final attack. Too little, not enough time to play, Too long is not good, it will leave enough time for the opponent to counterattack."

"Okay, Hill started, and the countdown began. Kobe and Rick Fox, who assisted in defending, had blocked all of Hill's directions. Grant Hill had to choose a lateral breakthrough. He was near the top of the free throw circle. Hurry up."

"The Lakers will definitely not let Hill raise his hand to shoot casually. Kobe, Fox, and Xiaoyu Fisher all rushed up, and the three double-teamed Grant Hill who had already raised his hand and was about to shoot."

"Hill flicked his wrist, instead of passing the ball, he chose to pass the ball to the bottom line, Billups received the ball from the bottom corner, Fisher did not look to defend his opponent, Billups won An open shot opportunity."

"Obviously, the Lakers did not expect that the Warriors would hand over the last shot to their point guard Billups. In their view, Tracy McGrady and Hill are the first-choice targets, even if it is Jermaine O'Neal or Paul Gasol, both look more like the lore option."

"But it was Billups who was not valued by the Lakers. At the last moment, he made a key shot. I saw him sinking after receiving the ball, adjusted his posture with the ball, and then jumped up to shoot. The light was on at 24 seconds At the same time, the goal was scored."

"The referee judged the goal to be valid, and the replay showed that Billups made the shot from the three-point line. It was a 2-pointer. At 91:92, the Warriors overtook the score and the Lakers suspended."

"There is not much time left for the Lakers. They only have the last 9 seconds to play their last attack. If they score, they will win. If they don't score, they will lose. It's that simple."

"After the timeout, the Lakers also kicked off in the frontcourt. Kobe caught the ball and ran horizontally. Obviously, the Lakers' final attack has no suspense."

"Kobe took a step inside the right three-point line, jumped high, leaned back and shot, and at the same time as the shot, the red light was on."
