Chapter 191: Tired Sharks, Infighting Lakers
Although he scored ten goals in a single quarter, Zhang Tian was not as good as the previous two quarters. This is the essential difference between outside players and inside players. Although the weight of the inside is generally larger than that of the outside, because they are closer to the basket, it is easier to score than the outside. Therefore, the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate is, the higher the shooting rate, because O'Neal's performance already explains everything. He played the first finals in NBA history.
"Be careful of the Lakers' No. 8. Generally speaking, he will start counterattacking with O'Neal in the fourth quarter, and Glenn Rice's performance in the third quarter was not so ideal without Kobe's interference. So Zhang, when the fourth quarter, I don't want to see Kobe break out, you lock him up. The other few of you should also watch the corresponding defenders and pay attention to the unball team. I'll say it again." The Lakers' counterattack in the third quarter was so fierce because the Pacers did a very bad job in the unball marking.
"This game is getting more and more intense. I really don't know who can win. The scores added to the three games did not exceed 20 points. It is conceivable how close their strength is. The Pacers just look at Xiao Zhang and Miller, while the Lakers look at O'Neal. The three of them will be the absolute stars in the fourth quarter." Mr. Zhang Heli analyzed at the CCTV commentator's commentator seat. Sun Zhengping didn't interrupt anything. After all, in the domestic basketball field, the other party knows more than he himself.
In the fourth quarter, O'Neal dunked at the basket, and the ball bounced out under the interference of Bartle. O'Neal grabbed the second rebound. This time he did not dunk, but passed the ball to Robert Horry. Horry received the ball, took the ball from the outside, and the ball entered, and the Lakers narrowed the score to two points.
Billups controlled the ball, and sweat began to flow down his nose. Under the spotlight, his skin became brighter. Fisher faced him and Harper rested off the court. This time the latter did not stance, but chose to stick close to Billups. After all, Billups's outside line has been recognized by everyone in the Pacers for the past half season. The Pacers point guard pulled the ball back and looked at his teammate's position. Zhang Tian and Rick Fox played Brokeback Mountain. The two of them were sticking like double-sided sticks. Zhang Tian took a step back and turned around and ran towards Billups.
Billups understood it and saw Zhang Tian coming and handed the ball over directly. Kobe rushed to Zhang Tian from Reggie Miller at this time. Zhang Tian came to a position far from the three-point line. But he did not shoot, but passed the ball to Billups who cut into the inside line through Kobe. The latter was in the left waist position and shot in the middle distance, pulling the score difference to four points.
Robert Horry is indeed not as good as Ac Green's ten-year-old virgin in defense. His footwork is not fast enough. The only thing that can be praised is the three-pointer at a critical moment.
Ac Green did not play, and the Zen master was just afraid that the Pacers would implement double-team tactics. Isn’t it over in the fourth quarter? Robert Horry was somewhat passable.
Kobe got the ball, but Zhang Tian did not go close to his body, but kept it at a subtle distance with his slippage. Zhang Tian's defensive position made Phil Jackson a little dissatisfied. He hoped that the opponent would fight with Kobe in the Lakers, because Kobe's hand-to-hand combat ability was not inferior to O'Neal. If Zhang Tian did it like that, it would definitely consume his physical strength. Kobe and him would definitely make a profit, just like a soy sauce position that exchanged the eldest brother's number one position, which was really acceptable.
Kobe used a cross step to turn around. He did this move smoother than Zhang Tian. Although Zhang Tian reacted in time, Kobe still came to the position close to the right elbow area. He stopped, Zhang Tian put it on and raised his arms. Kobe took a step back, threw his body into the air, and threw the ball out. Kobe has been practicing this move of a back jump shot. He is looking for a balance point that suits him. At present, it has not been found. Duang, Kobe's backward magnitude is almost 180 degrees, so it is inevitable to hit the iron.
The rebound was protected by Da Ben this time, and he passed it to Billups. Pacers One used all his strength to sprint to the Lakers to complete a layup in the halftime, and the score was further widened.
The Zen master still did not call a timeout. He believed in the ability of the peak O'Neal, but as a heavyweight insider, O'Neal was ineffective against four fierce men's entire game. Although he scored the first hit rate in history, his physical strength was several times more than Chamberlain and Bill Walton.
So O'Neal started to shoot for a while in the fourth quarter, but fortunately he almost protected the rebound. The Zen master called a timeout and let Glen Rice play. The latter scored a three-pointer after the game, which allowed Lakers fans to see hope of winning.
But Kobe played awkwardly, and the ball rights were originally limited. After O'Neal's physical strength decreased, he was the first main attacking point. But when Les came up, Kobe wanted to divide the ball rights.
Rice played in the first two quarters on the offensive end, and Kobe could only devote his energy to the defensive end. But what Kobe didn't expect was that Glenn Rice, who had been promoted to the big brother position on the offensive end, did not work as hard as before before. Although he also doubled Zhang Tian, in terms of strength, he could not compare with the first three quarters. Human energy was limited. Glenn Rice knew what his strength was, so it was understandable that he was unwilling to continue to devote his energy to the defensive Zhang Tian.
But Kobe couldn't understand. When Zhang Tian broke through the defense of the two of them again and completed the score, Kobe finally couldn't bear it.
"Glenn, can you defend well? Your defense in this quarter is softer than the pasta I eat."
If it weren't for tolerance to a certain limit, Kobe, a teenager in the second-tier middle school illness, wouldn't say it. Glenn Rice's face looked ugly. He was an All-Star forward player. When did he get angry? "Damn it, you don't need to teach me how to play. I'm not Brian Shaw, nor Eddie Jones."
Glen Rice's voice was quite loud. Brian Shaw on the bench felt like a big pot was directly pressed on his head. Ron Garethson saw the two Lakers players arguing, and rushed over and pulled the two away. The game was too intense, which made the players on both sides angry. The Zen master took this opportunity to call a timeout. This is really a fear of anything. The logo trade for Glen Rice is really not a good choice for Phil Jackson.
