Chapter 82 The charm of the playoffs!
Chapter 82 The charm of the playoffs!
The Great Western Forum carries the glorious past of the Lakers, and the 98-99 season was the last time it witnessed the Lakers!
"Shaquille! I know you haven't shown your best strength yet!" Rambis looked seriously at O'Neal, who was breathing a little. Even though he looked pretty good, Rambis still thought he should The strength has not been shown!
Listening to Rambis' words, Bruce subconsciously glanced at O'Neal who was already wiping his forehead. Because he was relatively close to the Lakers' seat, he could see the expressions of the Lakers players very clearly!
"Man, why do you think so?" O'Neill said with a serious expression, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes!
The entire series has been played so far, even though O'Neal was restricted by the combination of Duncan and the two, his tactics against Rambis have always been a bit difficult to understand. He gradually became a little dissatisfied with his employment!
"Shaquille, you should show your dominance, not blindly defend!" Rambis didn't know O'Neal's mood at the moment. In his opinion, O'Neal's performance in this series was not good enough. In line with his expectations, even though Reid's defense against Duncan was basically useless, he still bet on O'Neal's current dominance!
"Okay! Kurt, let's see what happens next!" Even though he was a little dissatisfied, O'Neill chose to carry out Rambis' words after thinking about them!
At the end of the conversation between the two and the dignified expressions of the Lakers players, the horn sounded in the second quarter of the game without delay!
Bruce looked at the Lakers players walking towards the field and those familiar faces, feeling a little regretful and a little excited in his heart!
The two teams entered the stage in a serious and dignified manner. The score of the two teams in the first quarter was 22:20. In terms of strength, the two teams are basically the same. The Lakers' lineup is even slightly stronger than the Spurs.
Even though Rambis has led the Lakers to a good record of 24 wins and 13 losses in this shortened season, he is a bit jerky in terms of employing people.
Bruce looked at Reid who was about to serve on the court, and subconsciously looked at the Lakers, Rambis who was sitting firmly on the coach's bench!
Rambis wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, medium-length short hair and a signature beard. In Bruce's eyes, this is a slightly refined but tough white man.
Watching Fisher slowly advancing on the field, an interesting thing suddenly flashed in Bruce's mind!
Although Rambis is a player and coach, this white man is extremely interested in acting.
In an American TV series released in 1996, Rambis played the role of a basketball coach. Apart from this movie, he also played some small roles, and some even just showed a small face!
Thinking of this, Bruce couldn't help but smiled at the serious Rambis: "This Lakers team is really interesting!"
Fisher advanced to the frontcourt with some seriousness. Since the start of the series with the Spurs, he has deeply felt the horror of the veterans in this team!
In his feelings, although Johnson has entered the late stage of his career, his experience makes Fisher extremely uncomfortable. It seems a little struggling under the full prediction and interception!
Fisher ran to the front court and looked at the "old guy" who was panting slightly in front of him. Even though the opponent showed a little tired look, he was still vigilant against Johnson.
O'Neill glanced annoyedly at Reid, who was standing on the high position on the right side, he was completely speechless to this guy!
Fisher handed the ball to Kobe, who was coming from Mercedes, and then ran to the left corner very quickly.
Kobe took the ball, looked at Avery whose legs were a little slow in front of him, glanced at the running position of his teammates and the situation on the court, held the ball with both hands, and when Avery was about to be close to him, he who was standing in the high position on the left suddenly stepped on the ground. In the previous step, after delaying Avery's defense, he raised his hands high, and shot the ball with a slightly backward body!
Seeing Kobe's movements, O'Neal, who already had a very tacit understanding with him, quickly leaned on Robinson to complete a quick turn, and then stuck him behind him forcefully!
Bruce watched O'Neill complete a beautiful turn and extremely skilled positioning technique, and further felt some inexplicable pressure on the ability of this big guy!
Seeing Robinson who couldn't surpass O'Neill at all on the field, Bruce's perception of O'Neill gradually created a desire in his heart!
"Shhh!!"
The crisp sound of passing through the net came out from the loudspeaker on the basket, and a large number of fans gathered in the stadium cheered for this goal that equalized the score!
Starting from Kobe's goal, the two teams gradually played a tough performance, and the shooting percentage of both sides seemed very low under the tough defense.
Bruce stared intently at the two teams attacking each other on the field, and he really saw Duncan's gradual dominance.
With post-up singles, turning around and hitting the rebound, and high-post rebound shots with a very high hit rate, Duncan suddenly turned into an omnipotent super BUG!
In the second quarter, both teams tried their best. The Lakers always wanted to show their own style, but every time they wanted to improve their speed, they were restricted by the tough defense of the Spurs. In the opponent's rhythm!
With the last 2 minutes left in the second quarter, a Spurs player suddenly exploded!
Jalen Jackson looked at Rick Fox in front of him with some excitement. He wanted to defend the ball very much. Even though he was 32 years old, his desire to score was always eager!
Jackson scored 9 points in the first quarter. Although he played in many teams as a role player in his career, his defense still made him come to a very suitable position when his career was coming to an end. The Spurs of their own system!
Jackson stared closely at Fox who was holding the ball in front of him. He was somewhat familiar with this little guy and understood his habits.
When Fox was about to change direction and break through Jackson, the latter, relying on his good defense and years of experience, tapped with his right hand the moment Fox changed hands!
"Damn!!"
Listening to the curses of the Lakers fans around him, Bruce was extremely surprised by Jackson's sharpness.
After stealing the ball, Jackson, even though he was a little stronger, still ran forward quickly!
Seeing the two teams rushing forward, Bruce couldn't help but have some expectations for this guy who basically had no impression of him!
Jackson quickly came beyond the three-point line, glanced at Fox behind him very quickly, and threw the basketball in his hand without stopping at all!
"Three-point chase!!!" Bruce watched Jackson's confident shot, and a word suddenly sounded from the bottom of his heart!
"Shhh!!"
The basketball drew a wonderful arc, and plunged into the nest like a tired bird returning to the forest!
"Jaren, that's so cool!!"
The Spurs players consciously created shooting opportunities for the veteran when Jackson's fiery touch began to play in the first quarter.
And now seeing the veteran's confident shot, the Spurs players congratulated the old guy!
Bruce looked at the performances of these veterans with some emotion, and couldn't help sighing "This is the NBA!" in his heart!
Looking at Jackson, who was high-fiving his teammates on the field, Bruce couldn't help but think of Dell Curry, who was signed by the Warriors.
Even if Jackson does not have Curry's reputation and outstanding scoring ability, since he has been in the league for nearly ten years, it can be seen from this that this veteran has his own bright spots!
With the whistle at the end of halftime, the Spurs once again ended the second quarter with a 2-point advantage.
"Bruce, do you have any good ideas about this summer?" Although Bass rarely chatted with Bruce since the two greeted each other, he still had a very good view of this young man!
So far this season, Bass has set his sights on this summer's draft and the trade of some players, except for the new arena.
Since the Lakers lost consecutive home games against the Spurs, Bass has basically seen the final outcome of the Lakers. Therefore, when he and Jerry West were discussing the subsequent matters, they especially heard West's feelings towards Bruce. After boasting, he couldn't help becoming more interested in this little guy who is only his grandson!
Hearing Bass' question, although he felt a little unhappy, Bruce still chose to respect this senior and said: "You know what our team building idea is!"
"Aha!" Bass heard a little displeasure in Bruce's words, thought of some unspoken rules in the league, laughed, and said with a smile: "I heard that your film company is doing very well!"
When Bruce heard what Bass said, he cursed "old fox" in his heart. Seeing that the other party hadn't been entangled in the last question, Bruce smiled and chatted with Bass!
After Bruce and Buss drank a large glass of beer while chatting, the Lakers and Spurs slowly walked out of the player tunnel under the call of the staff!
At the beginning of the second half, the confrontation between the two teams suddenly rose to the strongest level.
From the Lakers, Bruce clearly felt a heavy pressure. Feeling the existence of this pressure, Bruce understood their mood very well at the moment!
When the Lakers returned home with two losses at home to the Spurs, I wonder if the "golden owners" in Las Vegas were very professional and suddenly increased the odds of the Lakers in the betting on the two teams .
It can be seen from their quick reaction that even some people with not sharp eyes can see the final outcome of the two teams, let alone some professional people!
As time went by, both the Lakers and the Spurs showed the strongest concentration and tough confrontation, and the players of the two teams even almost "fired" in a fight.
I don't know if it was the reason for this dispute, but the Lakers' shooting percentage and tactical execution ability have suddenly improved a level!
O'Neal's power from time to time and Kobe's sharp breakthrough instantly opened up the score. When the two teams finished the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, the Lakers, who were trailing by two points in the first two quarters, suddenly reversed the situation!
Bruce looked at the players of the two teams leaving the field with bright eyes. At this moment, he deeply felt the charm of the playoffs!
In the third quarter, with Kobe's shooting and breakthrough, the Lakers changed the situation in the first two quarters. After the third quarter, they ended the quarter with a three-point lead at 27:24!
The third change is over, I wish you all a sweet dream! ~
