NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 319 Fighting

Houston’s absence did make D’Antoni a little worried.

As the sharpest sword of the Knicks last season, his sudden absence at a critical moment not only affected the mentality of his teammates, but also affected the mentality of his teammates.

Of course.

The rest of the Knicks players were not affected.

To be precise, Houston’s influence on the team was infinitely weakened before he was closed.

And with the addition of Wang Song and Nash, Houston’s position in the Knicks has actually reached the third place.

And the mid-season reinforcement and the addition of Prince made the position of Houston, the elderly “mid-range shooting king”, in the team ambiguous.

Therefore, the impact on the game was not as great as the Lakers imagined, but there was a sense of looming.

Seeing that the players’ condition was not affected, D’Antoni asked Sam Anderson to warm up in advance.

To be honest, even if it was affected, D’Antoni, as the head coach of the Knicks, could only arrange people to play.

There were only a few minutes left before the end of the game. As long as they could hold on during this period, the game would enter the final stage.

Looking at Houston being carried away on a stretcher, the Knicks teammates all had some waves in their hearts.

What’s more, they looked at the initiator of all this with hatred.

On the other side.

Kobe did not feel the fiery eyes of the hostile players at all.

Now Kobe is completely immersed in the upcoming decisive battle. It would be a lie to say that he has no regrets for the foul just now.

But in the face of honor, let alone the opponent’s injury, even if Kobe’s own finger was broken, he could straighten it on the spot and return.

This is the player with the strongest desire for victory in the 21st century – Kobe Bryant!

Across the ocean.

Although it cannot be said to be a national live broadcast, the live broadcast of the finals in America has raised the ratings of CCTV Sports by many levels, and it has become the king of ratings today.

Among them, the two commentators today are indispensable.

Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhengping, two senior CCTV Sports.

Especially when it comes to the thrilling moment now, the more nervous the two are, the more talkative they are.

“Ho, this game is really ups and downs. In the last second of the game, I thought the Lakers were about to complete the chase, and in just one round, the Knicks instantly opened the gap to nearly double digits.”

“7 points ahead, there is still a free throw opportunity, less than four minutes, to be honest, the situation is in the hands of the Knicks, Coach Sun, I feel that we are expected to witness the birth of history!!”

A trembling voice sounded, and Sun Zhengping saw that Coach Zhang’s hand holding the microphone beside him was shaking slightly.

It is conceivable how this middle-aged man in his sixties feels at the moment.

Sun Zhengping would not spoil the fun, he could understand his partner’s mood, and echoed: “It must be Coach Zhang, given the current state of the Knicks, we will definitely become the first commentators in history to witness Chinese players win the NBA championship!”

“Yeah… But for the Knicks, the only disadvantage on the court now is Houston’s injury. This guy is indeed a bit of a glass man in recent seasons, but fortunately for the Knicks, he is no longer the only attacker last season.”

Excited, Zhang Weiping also expressed his concerns.

New Fox Sports.

In the text live broadcast room, while the two commentators were analyzing the situation on the court, the fans also started a crazy discussion.

——【Tsk, Houston also gave the Knicks 4 points when he left the court. What a good brother. 】

——【It’s easy to dodge an open gun, but it’s hard to guard against an arrow from the dark! Lao Ke’s defense is really unreasonable. If you win the game in the end, it’s fine. If you lose, I guess this save will nail Kobe to the pillar of shame. 】

——【Methods are not the basis for winning. Only by constantly consolidating your skills and cooperating with your teammates can you reach the highest stage, such as Wang Song! 】

——【What a guy upstairs. I thought he was at least a hall-level player, but his true colors were exposed at the end. 】

——【Wang Song is loyal! 】

——【I’m so excited. I’m about to witness the birth of history. I’ve already prepared the words to brag to my son 20 years later. 】

Staples, the game scene.

Just as the coaching staff on both sides were preparing intensively

At the time of preparation, the fans in the stands were not much different from the Chinese fans online.

If I insist on saying it is different, it is probably because the fans in Staples Center and the fans in China have fundamentally different positions.

The smiles of the two groups of people were constantly shifting between each other!

It’s just that at this last moment, Knicks fans took control for a relatively long time.

But the Lakers fans did not completely admit defeat. After all, there were still three minutes left before the end of the game, which was enough for them to hope for a desperate comeback.

Among the fans, the prominent Banana Split Brothers bowed their heads in conversation.

Although the rookie trio are neutral fans, they actually have their own tendencies.

Except for Wade who is optimistic about the Knicks, Anthony and James both reached a consensus that Kobe and O’Neal will lead the Lakers to a comeback at the last moment.

With this thought in mind, the three of them focused their attention on the competition.

···

3 minutes and 34 seconds!

The timeout ends and the game returns.

Not only did the Knicks adjust their lineup, the Lakers also made relatively major adjustments.

Except for Kobe and O’Neal, everyone else was replaced.

To some extent, this is also a very bold attempt by the Zen master.

It can be said that the Knicks’ poor rotation lineup and the game strategy after changing the rotation were clearly understood by Zen Master.

The Lakers lineup left on the court now is Zen Master’s preparation.

In addition to Fisher replacing Payton, Luke Walton replaced Karl Malone, and Rick Fox replaced Devin George.

Only the OK two from the original starting lineup are left!

Of course, major changes will naturally formulate corresponding strategies. For the Lakers, in fact, as long as their core Kobe and O’Neal do not leave the game, the impact on the game will not be too great.

It can even be said that the substitute will be better physically.

It’s just that you have to bear the responsibility that your hands will feel cold while sitting on the court.

In order to put an end to this phenomenon, the Zen master directly gave the ball rights for the remaining game time to the two OK players. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, the other three will basically not have the opportunity to take action.

Just like the Bulls era, Zen Master finally gave the opportunity to the old gangster and the Bulls Iron Triangle.

This is the basketball concept that Phil Jackson has been implementing. Personal heroism determines the direction of the team at the decisive moment.

The more extreme and difficult the conditions are, the more potential players can be stimulated.

In Zen Master’s view, not only O’Neal has this ability, but Kobe, who wants to take on the Lakers ship on his own, should also have it.

As the whistle blew, Nash stood at the free throw line instead of Houston.

Extra penalty hit!

This is where the last minute fight begins.
