The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 593 The Final is Coming



Chapter 593 The Final is Coming
Kobe was very depressed and could only rely on training to vent, while the other core O'Neal celebrated the Lakers' entry into the Western Conference finals and came to a nightclub in Los Angeles to have fun. Except for Kobe, almost all the Lakers players came. The performance of the Lakers this season is the best record that O'Neal led the Lakers.

O'Neal is celebrating with carnival, while coach Phil Jackson is rather depressed. The current Zen Master has formulated many sets of tactics in the final against the Grizzlies. Bass is very charming, but he didn’t calm down because of this black fungus. As long as he leads the team to do well, then everything in the outside world is nothing to him. Combination, the biggest feature of this combination is that it does not distinguish between you and me. The two of them are not as clear as Jordan Pippen's status level. This is the most difficult point, but if Duncan is restricted, then half of the game will be won.

No one knew about Zen Master’s plan until the entire Lakers practiced together and distributed tactics. It is of course unrealistic to restrict Duncan and rely on Malone alone, so O’Neal must also participate in the defense. I'm not that selfless.

O'Neal didn't listen, and the Zen master could only sigh. He knew that O'Neal was an extremely difficult existence, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so difficult. Compared with Jordan, his biggest difference was that he didn't like to defend. He was willing to put more energy on scoring against others instead of defending.

On May 5th, the Western Conference finals had already started, and the day before Philadelphia overturned the Pacers in an away game, Iverson scored 20 points and 45 assists in the game, and won a victory from the away game in 7 minutes. The Pacers ushered in a bad start, but it doesn't matter.

The entire GM Arena was full, and everyone was very concerned about the outcome of this game. Compared with the matchup in the East, this matchup received more attention. Many media even rumored that whoever can break through from the West will win the championship. Although this is somewhat disrespectful to the two teams in the East, it is true that the competitiveness of the two teams in the East is not comparable to that of the Grizzlies and Lakers.

O'Neal was still laughing and joking. It seemed that he was in a very relaxed state, while Kobe was serious. He was not as big-hearted as O'Neal. After all, the opponent had played in the finals and this kind of divisional finals. This kind of final stage was the first time for him.

"Heaven, everything you did to the Lakers will be paid back in this game." Before the game started, O'Neal actually came to Xiao Tian's face and spoke harshly. This guy is a bit interesting, but who gave him the courage? Has he forgotten the fear of being dominated by himself? O'Neal is terrible, but this guy is not invincible.

The game started soon. Amidst the tsunami of the audience, the Lakers won the ball first. Payton did not meet any decent opponents in the first two rounds of this playoffs, so he was comparable to Xiao Tian in terms of statistics. While controlling the ball, he raised his other hand and made a gesture. The rest of the Lakers understood. up.

The Lakers players pulled away actively. Looking at Payton, Xiao Tian lowered his center of gravity, because the chance of this guy's breakthrough is greater than the probability of shooting. This is a characteristic of point guards in this era. They are better at breaking through and scoring the ball, rather than looking for opportunities in place. That kind of passing is too difficult for ordinary point guards.

Payton didn't hide, but directly bumped into Xiao Tian, ​​the two bodies rubbed together, the ball was still in Payton's right hand, Xiao Tian's attention was still very focused, the running positions of each Lakers player began to emerge in his mind, this is the benefit of the improved mental attributes, you can look at the audience, Xiao Tian unconsciously moved to the left, and then stretched out his left hand, the audience in the audience didn't understand what Xiao Tian's intention was, but in the next second, Payton's ball actually passed from this direction , Xiao Tian was waiting in the middle of the game, with a snap, he broke the ball and sent out the fastest speed, throwing off Payton to complete the layup, and Payton's first ball came up, and Xiao Tian actually gave him a slap in the face.

He was careless about the ball just now, and Payton knew it very well, but there was no fluctuation in his heart. After all, he is a veteran who has experienced countless scenes. He didn’t choose to break through this time, and the Lakers players didn’t all pull away. They were still skillfully dribbling the ball under the crotch.

Payton played the ball for about 20 seconds, but there was still no chance. Xiao Tian stood in front of Payton like a city wall. Zen Master's pre-match arrangements were all tragic because of Xiao Tian and Payton's matchup.But Zen Master is not a head coach who likes to call a timeout. He can only hope that the players can adjust themselves. This is the best point and the worst point of Zen Master as a head coach. Not every player is Michael Jordan and has such a strong ability to adjust. It's a thousand miles away from the word giant.

The attack time is coming soon. Payton chose a strong shot. The ball had a high arc. Xiao Tian didn't have time to block the shot. It was completely a manifestation of his personal ability.This is not available to any team in the league. All five positions can play singles. This is an advantage and a disadvantage. It depends on how you use it.

Payton's ball did not cheer the Lakers fans who came to watch the game, because he played these two offenses alone, and the others couldn't even borrow the ball.

The Grizzlies attacked, and the Lakers began to implement the Zen master's defensive strategy. They frantically pinched four people other than Xiao Tian, ​​especially Duncan on the inside, but they were embarrassed.

Lakers fans are a little disappointed. Why doesn’t O’Neal like to defend? If he participates in defense, the Lakers are really invincible. The Lakers attack, and O’Neal takes the initiative to ask for the ball. Very flexible, as for why he is so cheating on free throws, only God knows.

O'Neal scored on the first offense, reassuring the Lakers fans, but the situation on the court was still very passive. Facing Payton, Xiao Tian didn't shoot directly, but took the ball in a circle with both hands, and then touched Payton's arm, and then the ball flew near the basket. Donaghy still called Payton for a foul because he missed the goal. There is no way, no matter how much Godfather Si doesn’t like Xiao Tian, ​​Xiao Tian is currently No.1 in the league. Since he is No.1, he must be treated as No.1. Although his foul just now is a bit suspicious, who told Payton not to avoid it? If he did, then Xiao Tian would not succeed.

Damn, it's rare for Zen Master to jump on the sidelines. Xiao Tian's play style is too dirty. Shameless, it's so obvious to make a foul, but Donaghy won't change the sentence.As an NBA referee, you must know what balance is. If there is another incident like Xiao Tian retiring because of the referee, then the NBA will really collapse. Now there is no such old hooligan as Jordan, and the only superstar who can attract traffic is Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian made all three free throws despite the boos of the Lakers fans. The Lakers fans really love and hate Xiao Tian. What they love is his playing style, and what they hate is why he didn’t let the Lakers win once. Mommy criticizes him.

Payton got a foul on his back, and now he can't wait to punch Xiao Tian. This bastard was really too shameless just now. He actually used such a shameless trick in order to cheat the foul, but who made himself get too close to him? Hey, he was also guilty. Why was he so close to him? Payton was very entangled in his heart.Payton made a pass, facing Wu Sheng's pressing defense, Kobe chose to break through forcibly. Wu Sheng didn't expect it to be so fast at the start of his step. The latter rushed to the empty space at once. Kobe came to the inside and faced Duncan and Brand. He still chose to dunk. With a bang, the ball was smashed into it.

This dunk ignited the passion of the Lakers fans, but the foul on Payton became Xiao Tian's point of use. Although Xiao Tian didn't continue to look for the foul, Payton didn't dare to do it so recklessly.

The Lakers are still playing the giant planet, but one foul still affected Payton. Payton was terrified throughout this quarter. He was afraid that he would make a second foul. Taking advantage of this continuous scoring, Zen Master did not adjust in time, but still expected Payton to adjust himself. As a result, the Grizzlies ended the first quarter with a 5-point lead.

In the first quarter, Kobe didn't receive the second ball except for the dunk. He only scored 2 points. O'Neal played very happily and got 10 points and 4 rebounds in the interior.
