On June 7, the G2 battle between the two sides continued at the MCI Center.
Since the finals at this time adopt a 232 game system, whether the Wizards can hold on to their first two home games is, according to the local media in Washington, the key to whether the Wizards can win the championship this year.
On the court, both sides still used the starting lineup from the G1 war.
The only difference is that tonight the Lakers adjusted their defensive strategy against Jordan.
In the middle of the field, during the jump ball session, after O'Neal was once again sneak-attacked by Gasol, the Spanish curly hair, the Wizards had the ball.
On the sidelines, watching Fox take the initiative to pounce on Boss Qiao, Wang Shuo clicked his tongue and sighed: Sure enough, for the sake of the championship, everyone is the kind of person who can throw their damn face to the ground and then do it again. Someone who steps on two feet.
However, now the question arises. Did the Lakers switch to Fox to defend Jordan tonight because they felt that Kobe's defense against Jordan was not effective in the G1 game?
The answer is of course not.
Because compared to Kobe who dared to "look at" Joe with his boss in a physical sense, if Fox had the ability to guard Jordan, he would not only earn 3.79 million this season, which is only slightly higher than Pippen. salary.
Tonight, the Lakers have only one purpose in adjusting their defensive strategy, which is to save Kobe's physical energy on defense as much as possible, so that he can give the Lakers the only hope of defeating the Wizards.
Although, in the future, many people will only look at the data and will definitely question why Kobe didn't pass the ball in the G1 game.
But at least, in the eyes of this group of people who really know what they are doing, how many times Kobe can throw the ball in this series will, in a sense, determine how likely the Lakers are to beat this Wizards.
Because no one is reliable except O'Neal, do you expect Fisher and Horry to break down this Wizards' defense?
However, in Wang Shuo's opinion, the Lakers' strategic adjustment tonight can only be regarded as a common move.
On the court, after easily deceiving Fox, Jordan turned around and hit the basket, hitting the ball, 0-2.
"Without Kobe's defense, Michael wouldn't have only taken 18 shots on the court." On the court, Wang Shuo said with a smile after making a naughty face at the "Zen Master" on the Lakers bench.
In the G1 game, because Kobe always maintained extremely high defense against Jordan, Jordan also had to pay a certain price if he wanted to maintain efficiency.
But Fox...
Obviously it can't make Boss Joe pay the price he paid for beating Kobe.
But after thinking carefully in his mind, Wang Shuo discovered that "Zen Master" seemed to have no other choice.
Because it's like asking War Eagle to play Go with Ke Jie. In Ke Jie's eyes, War Eagle might not even be called playing Go.
The Wizards' overall lineup advantage is so outrageous.
If in the regular season, under Wang Shuo's tactical "disguise", people thought that Wang Shuo and Jordan were carrying the Wizards forward, then in the playoffs, people will find...
It is clearly this Wizards who is carrying Jordan forward!
Back, the Lakers attacked. O'Neal, who was in much better physical condition this time, got the ball and hit the inside.
Upon seeing this, Gasol roared fiercely twice and decisively moved O'Neal out of the attack area:
Isn't it just a strong inside attack? Do you need to do it so badly and embarrass everyone?
Bang-dang——!
After venting his frustration with a one-handed dunk, O'Neal glared at Gasol when he retreated.
that is......
Gasol, who pretended not to see it, never thought of talking to O'Neal, but strode towards the Lakers half!
Arenas, who quickly dribbled the ball through the half court, saw this, and after deliberately waiting for a moment, he immediately handed the ball to Gasol, who followed up from the center.
After getting the ball, Gasol raised his long arms and smashed Huashan!
Moreover, after scoring a goal, while beating his chest, he did not forget to scream to the sky!
At the same time, the Wizards' home DJ also shouted in cooperation: "This is a slam dunk! It comes from Pau Gasol!"
On the court, looking at Gasol's "fierce look" and listening to the cheers from the fans, O'Neal discovered...
There is no one on this Wizards team who is not cheap!
But at this moment, O'Neal no longer had the idea of defending himself in his mind.
Because right now, all his thoughts are on how to help the team defeat this Wizards.
The Lakers attacked, and after spreading out in a 122 formation, O'Neal squeezed Gasol away and sank into the low post again.
This time, after quickly turning around and sneaking into the basket, O'Neal didn't even bother to attack the basket. He just hit the board and then quickly turned around and retreated.
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo could see that everyone on the Lakers wanted to beat the Wizards tonight.
Well, since you want to win so much!
Naturally, Wang Shuo can only...
"Have you not had enough to eat? Everyone, do you think you have won the championship?
Michael, if you dare to be so lazy again, I will whip you to death when you get back to the locker room!
how? Do you think it’s great that you won six championships? "On the sidelines, Wang Shuo suddenly roared towards the Wizards players on the court.
On the Lakers' bench, seeing this and looking at Wang Shuo, who even Jordan dared to yell at, "Zen Master" couldn't help but widen his pupils.
he......
It turns out that you are so brave not only at press conferences!
On the court, after being yelled at by Wang Shuo, Jordan also yelled at other players in a tacit understanding: "What are you looking at? Do you think you guys are proud of being yelled at?"
One by one, please focus on me! "
Of course, no matter how tacitly he agreed, at this moment, Jordan also made up his mind:
That is, the VIP membership card of a certain club that he originally wanted to give to Wang Shuo was gone!
In Jordan's view, after the season is over, he will only give Wang Shuo an experience coupon for the club at most.
On the court, the game continued. Because the defensive strategy against Jordan was adjusted tonight, the Lakers also made corresponding adjustments in the matchups of other players as the game progressed.
In order to watch Hamilton's perpetual motion movement, "Zen Master" used Fisher to counter Hamilton tonight.
At this moment, Fisher has plenty of physical energy. Although he is short, he is very good at physical confrontation. In Phil Jackson's view, since he can't count on his offense, he must give his physical advantage to him on defense. Play it out.
Don't tell me the result, this trick is really miraculous.
Because in the process of running, Hamilton could not avoid the physical confrontation Fisher gave him, so it would inevitably affect his subsequent shooting percentage.
However, this group of "Zen Masters" has temporarily passed the test...
But with the matchup between Horry and Artest, the "Zen Master" can only hope that Horry can invite Lakeland legend Elgin Baylor to the god-seeking event.
Hey, no, why do you want to invite a Baya King?
unlucky!
On the court, looking at Artest's eager expression, Jordan smiled slightly and decisively signaled Gasol to pass the ball to Artest.
As an absolute core who knows how to distribute physical energy on the court, the biggest difference between Jordan and many big players is that he is very good at squeezing his "second boss" in the game.
In the matchup between Artest and Horry, as long as the young Artest charges up, Horry will have nothing to do with him.
As for expecting help from teammates...
O'Neal wanted to help Horry defend, but Gasol just refused to enter the penalty area!
O'Neal was convinced.
He has played as a center all his life, and has faced many centers who can only avoid playing, but he has never seen anyone as shameless as Gasol in his life!
You said he was hiding and playing, but when you weren't paying attention, he slipped under the basket and dunked on you.
You said he didn't avoid the fight. Anyway, when you were staring at him with all your attention, if he went further into the three-second zone, he would lose.
And you can call him soft, but if you were accidentally pecked by him, he would still dare to scream in front of you.
But you said he is not soft...
This is softer than anything else!
O'Neill was completely convinced.
In fact, "Zen Master" has never thought about using others to counter Gasol.
But the most powerful thing about Gasol is that as long as the Lakers dare to use others to guard him, he will immediately transform into Chamberlain.
Generally speaking, for players like Gasol, people often use the "three words" of extremely high golf quotient to evaluate him.
On the court, after Artest beat Horry for two consecutive rounds, "Zen Master" immediately called Devin George from the bench.
Seeing this, Wang Shuo from the Wizards also cast a "you know" look at Jordan.
CCTV, watching the Wizards and Lakers playing back-and-forth in the first quarter, Director Zhang said with emotion: "Today's people really live up to the NBA's previous propaganda. When you meet an opponent, you will meet a good talent."
On the side, Director Sun echoed: "That's what Director Zhang said."
MCI Center, after the first quarter, 30 to 33.
O'Neal, who scored 16 points for the Lakers in the first quarter alone, was definitely the most handsome boy this night.
But at this moment, O'Neal, who was not happy anyway, was busy massaging his little brother's shoulders.
Tonight, relying on O'Neal's dominant performance in the first quarter, the Lakers have improved a lot compared to the last game.
Can......
After beating O'Neal for a whole quarter, the Lakers needed Kobe to step up in the second quarter and help the Lakers survive O'Neal's recovery off the court.
Don't look at Gasol when he is on defense. His biggest role in O'Neal is to cheer from the sidelines.
But coming back, facing the Wizards' fast-paced advancement, O'Neal didn't have an easy time at all tonight.
But, as the hope of the whole village...
Can Kobe Bryant step up tonight?
In the second quarter, the Wizards made substitutions. The five players on the field were Haywood, Wallace, Jackson, Jefferson, and Crawford.
On the court, as soon as he came up, he saw Kobe sinking into the low post. The Wizards double-teamed him without even thinking about it.
What kind of battle between one V and one real man?
A real man must dare to face a group of strong men to double-team him!
Seeing this, after hesitating in his mind for a while, Kobe did not choose to pass the ball, but sent Haywood a "gift" with an elegant back-turning combo.
Director Zhang saw this scene on CCTV and said, "Oh, Kobe's shot was so difficult!"
On the side, Coach Sun smiled and said: "This is Kobe's twenty-fifth shot in this game. It's a pity that he didn't hit."
Hearing this, Director Zhang always felt that he had heard something wrong. 25 shots? When did Kobe take so many shots tonight and why didn't he know?
It wasn't until a while later that Coach Sun reacted and quickly added: "Oh, I'm sorry, I misread the technical statistics just now. This is Kobe's fourth shot tonight. His shooting percentage is currently as high as 25%." .”
Director Zhang: "..."
Up to...25%?
Are you the legendary Kehei?
In this game, Kobe didn't take many shots in the first quarter and focused on assisting, in order to give the Lakers hope and the future in the second quarter.
On the Wizards' side, Wang Shuo, who doesn't know whether Crawford is a god or a ghost tonight, is also looking forward to Crawford creating tomorrow and a new era for the Wizards.
when--!
On the court, the Wizards attacked, and Crawford responded with a signature shot to the Lakers.
In the first half of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant, who made 0 of 5 shots, and Crawford, who made 0 of 4 shots, seemed like heroes pitying heroes!
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo, who couldn't stand it anymore, quickly replaced Crawford with Arenas.
result......
Arenas really worked as soon as he came on the court, hitting two consecutive three-pointers for the Wizards.
But in turn, Kobe, who suddenly found his touch, also hit two consecutive three-pointers for the Lakers.
In the second quarter, the Wizards failed to widen the gap. At halftime, the score between the two teams was 58 to 62.
After the halftime break, the game changed sides again, and O'Neal still bullied Gasol in the paint.
And Jordan took advantage of Fox.
On the Wizards bench, as the game progressed, Wang Shuo's heart began to beat.
Because no matter how strong the overall strength of this Wizards is, on the basketball court, the performance of the players must speak for itself.
Tonight, this Lakers basically played their best level.
The Wizards can only be considered normal performance.
On the court, after Kobe Bryant and Artest scored another three-pointer for the Lakers, with 3 minutes and 25 seconds left in the third quarter, the Lakers tied the score 81 to 81 with difficulty!
In this game, Kobe's overall touch was average, and he only made 8 of 24 shots in the third quarter.
But he made 5 of 9 three-pointers.
At this time, those who previously said that this Wizards can carry Jordan forward are somewhat clowns. (Wang Shuo:?)
Because at this moment when the Wizards players didn't know how to win the game, Boss Joe yelled at his teammates: "Pass the damn ball to me!"
The experienced Jordan knows very well that the current competition is whose star is tougher.
Only by surviving this stage can the Wizards' advantages in personnel rotation be fully utilized.
Because if you press "OK" and play like this tonight, the Lakers' physical fitness will definitely not be able to be stretched at first.
On the court, the Wizards attacked, and Jordan, who was sinking into the low post, faced Fox with a flicker, a flicker, and then a divine penalty!
Swish——!
81 to 83.
Come back, the Lakers have the ball, and O'Neal even goes to the high position to create a wall for Kobe.
The latter took advantage of the cover and hit the target!
83 to 83!
At the MCI Center, the Wizards fans, who felt as if their hearts were about to jump out of their throats, were all looking at that man.
The man named Michael Jordan!
On the wing, looking at Kobe who once again actively moved in front of him, trying to block his attack, Jordan took a deep breath and suddenly changed his dribbling rhythm.
Boom, boom!
Then, after two consecutive crotch dribbles, in front of Kobe, Jordan took a shot as if he was dreaming back to that time!
Your Ganba has no wine, but I'm as drunk as a dog!
Swish——!
83 to 85!
At this moment, many bad memories suddenly appeared in O'Neal's mind.
But after taking a look at Kobe, O'Neal, who knew that he was definitely not a "Penny", immediately gave himself a slap in the face.
"If you want me to pick and roll... just give me... the signal!" O'Neal, panting heavily and looking at Kobe, who was gradually exhausted, said.
Kobe nodded.
At this moment, there is no need to say anything else.
Coming back, the Lakers attacked. Looking at Kobe who raised a finger after receiving the ball in the high post, O'Neal, who understood instantly, moved up to the high post again!
At this moment, O'Neal has no other thoughts in his mind except the idea of letting his omnipotent little brother block Artest!
At the top of the arc, Artest tried to get around the block in advance, but Kobe reacted faster and went around him to the left with a forward change of direction.
Taking a step closer to the three-point line, Kobe took another shot!
Also hit!
85 to 85!
On TNT TV, Barkley, who felt like he could no longer breathe, exclaimed: "This is Kobe, this is the Lakers!"
On the Wizards' bench, upon seeing this, Wang Shuo once again gave Boss Qiao a "you know" look.
On the side, Director Lu and the three Mikes saw this scene and quickly wrote it down in their notebooks.
This is a required course to become a top coach in the NBA.
On the court, it was still Jordan and Kobe's duel.
However, just when people's attention is attracted by Jordan and Kobe...
The player who was supposed to be guarded by Fisher suddenly disappeared from the field.
Fisher's physical fitness is indeed very good.
But no matter what, his opponent tonight is Richard Hamilton, the most patient player on the Wizards.
In the eyes of Hamilton, who regarded the race as a long-distance race, he didn't care whether Fisher could keep up with him before.
Because he knows that as long as he keeps running, no opponent can keep watching him to death.
On the wing, Jordan, who glanced at Hamilton from the corner of his eye, once again made a great move. While turning to the left, his big hands suddenly passed the basketball in the opposite direction!
High up, slightly to the right of the top arc, Wizards No. 32 Hamilton has been waiting for a long time!
Swish——!
85 to 88!
In front of the TV, young LeBron James, who was also watching the finals with his friends tonight, suddenly brightened up!
It is true that the performance of Kobe and O'Neal tonight was extremely touching.
But in the eyes of young James, the great Michael Jordan played team basketball!
The game continues, the Lakers have the ball!
Can Kobe still respond to the Wizards?
when--!
On the court, this time under Artest's guard, Kobe failed to hit.
But almost at the same time, the moment Kobe took the shot, O'Neal turned and rushed towards the Wizards basket.
Although the mouth is very tough.
But in fact, at this point in the game, the person O'Neal trusted the most was Kobe.
It's just like what he promised Kobe.
As Kobe's "big brother", he must get the damn rebound back when Kobe misses the shot.
With this ball, O'Neal fulfilled his promise, he successfully pushed the rebound to the outside!
But what makes O'Neal and Kobe unbelievable is...
Fisher was not ready to catch the ball!
On the court, Hamilton, who had quick eyes and quick hands, hurriedly cut off the basketball that was not held by Fisher, and then went down quickly and hit a layup!
have to......
Now, even if Fisher can hit that 0.4-second buzzer beater in the future, it won't be able to save his image in the minds of Lakers fans this year.
But it sounds amazing.
Throughout Fisher’s long career…
Excluding his leveling stage...
The playoffs of the 2001/02 season were really the most embarrassing in his career.
In Wang Shuo's view, this is probably because the Lakers did not introduce a reliable substitute guard last summer.
So either the Lakers were overconfident in their abilities last summer?
On the court, Hamilton's five consecutive points for the Wizards became a watershed.
During the game, the Lakers, who could no longer raise their voice, completely missed the opportunity to rewrite the outcome of this game.
In the final quarter, as O'Neal's efficiency dropped significantly, the Lakers, who were unable to survive solely on Kobe Bryant, took the initiative to withdraw all their main players 2 minutes before the end.
In the end, the final score of this game was 106 to 119.
Jordan made 12 of 23 shots in the game, including free throws, and scored a total of 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Wizards.
Hamilton, who broke out from the end of the third quarter of the game, made 8 of 13 shots. Counting free throws and three-pointers, he scored 22 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists for the Wizards.
After the game, looking at Hamilton who saved the team tonight, Jordan finally said to him the words he wanted to hear most all along, "When this season is over, will you be willing to wear AJs to play in the new season? "
Hearing this, Hamilton replied excitedly: "Of course!"
Jordan knew how important this game was to the Wizards.
Because if we really go to the away game with a score of 1-1...
The 232 finals format will be detrimental to the Wizards.
But now, as long as they can win one of the three away games, the Wizards will basically win the championship.
Without Hamilton's sudden burst at the end of the third quarter, Jordan knew that the Wizards would most likely overturn tonight.
Because to be honest...
The 39-year-old Jordan really felt a little tired in this game.
As for the Lakers...
On this night when "OK" teamed up to score 81 points for the team...
Lakers fans have begun to panic.
Because O'Neal and Kobe both performed at this level, the Lakers failed to win...
What else can be done?
Is it possible to really send Fisher to the guillotine?
…
On the 9th, with only one day of rest and adjustment, the Finals G3 game between the Lakers and Wizards was moved to the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Compared with when he visited Staples Center in February, Wang Shuo's mentality at this moment is obviously much calmer.
However, this night, the Lakers, who were fighting against the odds, used the same emoticon as Wang Shuo's "Enilu Shocked.jpg" on the sidelines.
No idea.
In this game, with the cheers of the home fans, O'Neal made 17 of 28 shots and 14 of 20 free throws. The total was 48 points for the Lakers, which not only refreshed his personal playoff career single-game scoring in one fell swoop. Record......
Moreover, his performance of grabbing 22 rebounds in the game was also the second best performance in a single game of his playoff career.
Faced with such a terrifying "Brother Shaquille", in Wang Shuo's view, the Wizards still have to give him some face.
In addition, as O'Neal's all-powerful little brother, Kobe Bryant, who threw 34 times in this game, also scored 40 points for the Lakers, plus 9 rebounds and 3 assists.
Facing "OK", they teamed up to score 88 points this night and performed explosively.
The Wizards can only use a loss to express their high respect for this Lakers.
In the whole game, the finishing score of the two teams was 108 to 112.
However, although the Wizards lost the game, Wang Shuo looked very happy after the game.
"Didn't we lose?" Seeing this, Mike Brown asked with confusion.
Looking at Brown, whose enlightenment progress was far less than his own, D'Antoni smiled and said: "You don't understand, in this game, we have already reached the theoretical upper limit of the Lakers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But what about us?
So far in this series, we have not said that any game has been particularly good. "
On the sidelines, Mike Malone also said to Brown: "And this series, the further we go, the better it will be for us."
As of now, Boss Joe's average playing time in the finals is only 36 minutes.
But what about "OK"?
After playing only 36 minutes in the G1 game, O'Neal currently averages 40.7 minutes per game in the Finals.
Kobe is a bit outrageous. In the 144 minutes of the game that has been played so far, this guy only rested for 4 minutes.
In the G3 game, with willpower, "OK" could certainly survive the crushing physical peak on the court.
Can......
What about G4?
On the evening of the 12th, it was still the Staples Center.
But the difference from the last time the two teams played against each other is...
After waiting for three games, in this game, the Wizards finally waited for Crawford to break out.
In the first quarter of the game, there was still not much difference between the two teams.
With O'Neal steadily scoring points for the Lakers, no matter how badly the Wizards beat the other Lakers players, they can't defeat the Lakers right away.
But in the second quarter, as Crawford's performance began...
The Lakers' second lineup couldn't stand it this night.
On the court, at the beginning of the second quarter, Crawford moved to the left wing. After shaking Fisher's center of gravity with continuous crotch dribbling, he hit a pull-up three-pointer.
Then, in the next round, after using Haywood's cover to break into the penalty area, facing Samaki Walker, Crawford threw the hand and hit again!
On the sidelines, seeing Crawford's unreasonable scoring method, Wang Shuo, who wanted to kick him to death in the first three games, immediately changed his tune and said: "I've said it a long time ago, Jamal is the super No. 1 player in our team." six people."
However, Crawford wasn't done yet.
On the court, after the Lakers failed to score, Crawford caught the ball and pushed back, and faced Fisher's pursuit and hit a three-pointer!
At this time, on the sidelines, Wang Shuo also changed his words again: "Jamal's failure to be selected as this year's All-Star is definitely a big loss for the NBA!"
But, you thought this was the end?
The Lakers offense, after Kobe finally recovered two points, it was still Crawford!
In the top arc, after skillfully performing his "Double Back Luck" ultimate move, Crawford looked at Fisher who was knocked down on the floor of Staples Center by him, and Crawford cast a sympathetic look at him. At the same time, another three-pointer!
On the sidelines, holding his head, watching the "Zen Master" who didn't even like to call a timeout, trotted all the way to the technical stage and took pictures of the timeout...
After a pause, Wang Shuo said: "I have told you a long time ago that Jamal has the potential to become a superstar!"
Crawford's outburst this night not only laid a solid lead for the Wizards, but also once again made it more difficult for the Lakers to chase points on the court.
Unfortunately, this night, "OK" was unable to replicate G3.
In the end, 118 to 100.
As the Washington Wizards captured the Staples Center, the finals score came to 3-1...
In this era when there is no precedent for a comeback after falling behind 1-3 in the finals, in people's minds, the Wizards have been crowned!
On the court, at the moment the game ended, looking at Kobe, who was just as lonely as himself on the court with his knees bent, O'Neal did not blame Kobe for the shots he missed that night...
But in his mind, O'Neal gradually came up with the idea that he must bring two more helpers to the Lakers this summer.
He is too tired.
Kobe is too tired.
On the evening of the 13th, before the start of the G5 game between the Lakers and the Wizards, as usual, since the Wizards had already obtained the match point, the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of the NBA team, also arrived in Los Angeles that night.
In addition, as the finals MVP award guest, King of the Ring Bill Russell also received an invitation from the league as usual and will attend the G5 game of this year's finals.
On the 14th, in the Staples Center filled with an atmosphere of despair, the Lakers, whose next game was a last-ditch battle, and the Wizards, whose next game was a match point, jointly kicked off the G5 game.
On the court, after the jump ball, the Lakers attacked first.
It was impossible and unwilling to give up, O'Neal gave the Lakers the lead through a strong attack inside.
0 to 2.
Come back, the Wizards have the ball.
After spreading out at 122, just when people thought Gasol would pass the ball to Jordan as usual, this curly-haired monster suddenly fired from the outside!
What a sudden cold arrow!
Uh-huh!
3 to 2.
Lakers offensive possession.
O'Neal, who was quite uncomfortable with Gasol's three-pointer just now, dropped into the low post and asked for the ball again for a single.
Bang, swish.
O'Neal scored easily, 3-4.
The Wizards attack, this time, O'Neal is obviously becoming more cautious when guarding Gasol.
That is, he was too cautious. When he noticed that Gasol was still preparing to steal the chicken, he accidentally handed over his focus.
On the sidelines, watching Gasol dribbling past O'Neal, Wang Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Xiao Yao will have to work harder next year. This 'sister-in-law' is evolving every day!"
Under the basket, Gasol hit Huashan and succeeded!
5 to 4.
On the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson, who had Gasol offsetting O'Neal's opening attack, immediately frowned.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Disaster.
It's just too difficult.
Before the finals started, who would have thought that with O'Neal averaging nearly 41 points per game for the Lakers in the finals, the Lakers would be the team trailing 1-3?
It is true that the main reason why O'Neal was able to perform the most brilliant performance of his career in this series is because the Wizards deliberately indulged him.
but......
If O'Neal can't beat this Wizards despite averaging 41 points per game, then who can win?
In addition, iron is iron, Kobe also averaged 30+ per game in the playoffs this year.
That's all, can't the Lakers defeat this Wizards?
In the VIP box at Staples Center, Jerry Buss would be infinitely upset in his heart whenever he thought of the disgusting face of Pauline's old bitch.
Why did you say that last summer he...why wasn't he willing to spend more money to provide more helpers for O'Neal and Kobe?
Seeing that the dynasty in hand is about to disappear...
Old Bass suddenly became very angry.
You know, the last time the Lakers won three consecutive championships in the NBA, it dates back to the era of the Minneapolis Lakers.
Therefore, since Bass accepted the Lakers, his biggest wish is that the Lakers can win three consecutive NBA championships again.
Can......
Since the "" era, the Lakers seem to have been cursed.
Every time when we are about to win three consecutive championships, we always fall short.
On the Wizards' bench, as tonight's first quarter of the game entered a stalemate, Wang Shuo, who was sitting on the bench at this moment, didn't know what Buss was thinking.
Otherwise he will definitely tell old Bass:
In fact, before he traveled through time, Old Bass still fulfilled this wish.
But, in this life...
Um......
It’s not like there’s no chance!
After all, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
On the court, the stalemate phase of the game lasted until 4 minutes left in the first quarter.
In this game, the Wizards could not wait for Crawford to break out.
It's not that Crawford didn't play well.
But before he came on the court, Hamilton had already shot through the Lakers at the end of the first quarter.
Left bottom corner.
Right bottom corner.
45 degree angle to the left.
45 degree angle to the right.
In the first quarter of the game, with Hamilton hitting 4 three-pointers at the end of the first quarter, the away Wizards led 37-27 and entered the second quarter with a 10-point advantage.
In order to chase points, in this life and death battle, Phil Jackson no longer cares about letting O'Neal rest.
On the Wizards' side, Wang Shuo, who didn't want to have long nights and dreams, also chose to leave Jordan on the court.
On the court, the Wizards took the lead in the second quarter, and Jordan assisted Jackson to hit a three-pointer.
40 to 27.
Coming back, Kobe struck the iron, and Crawford didn't dare to mess around after dribbling the ball past half court and handed the ball to Jordan.
Jordan stood at the top of the arc and directed the offense.
However, just when Wang Shuo thought Jordan would wait for his teammates to get into position and pass the ball out, Jordan...
He actually voted!
"Am I right? Michael was just one meter away from the three-point line!" Wang Shuo said with a surprised look on his face.
It is true that Jordan did not take three-pointers at all.
But a super long three-pointer like this...
Anyway, this season, the ignorant Wang Shuo has never been seen.
Swish——!
And the most important thing is that the goal actually went in!
On the court, Jordan himself was happy after hitting this three-pointer.
The extremely relaxed mentality of the "God of Basketball" at this moment is in sharp contrast to the always serious faces of O'Neal and Kobe.
At the scene, at this moment, the Lakers fans had already lost their spirits, and everyone was thinking about their own lives.
According to CCTV, Director Zhang also said: "If the Lakers can't get the score back as soon as possible, then we have to congratulate the Wizards."
In fact, even if they were behind by a big score, O'Neal and Kobe were still trying hard to get the game back.
But no matter what, this night, all the Wizards players were possessed by Iverson...
On the court, O'Neal and Kobe often just score with their front feet, and someone from the Wizards will step forward and score the "Answer. Ball".
Halftime is over.
On the scoreboard, 65 to 50.
After halftime, in the third quarter, O'Neal, who once again reached a tacit understanding with Kobe, gave the Lakers' last hope to Kobe's three-pointer.
It’s a nagging three points...
Especially the three-pointers during this period are quite casual anyway.
Just like in the G2 game, he was accurate and could score consecutively.
But when you become iron, you can also stay iron.
This night, God did not favor Kobe.
In the third quarter of the game, Kobe, who couldn't find the "God descends to earth" switch no matter how hard he looked for it, threw 9 three-pointers in this quarter and only hit 2 of them...
In the fourth quarter of the game, it didn't take long for the "Zen Master" to know that the situation was over and he took the initiative to withdraw all the main players of the Lakers.
Save the last bit of dignity for this defending champion.
At the end of the quarter, looking at the scoreboard that had been stretched to 30 points away, holding the jersey in his mouth, Kobe's face was full of unwillingness.
O'Neal was sitting on the bench, covering his head with a towel. Even though he could hide his depressed expression with the towel, his ups and downs in the chest had already betrayed him.
Now, it’s time for the Wizards to celebrate!
In the fourth quarter of the game, as the Wizards and Lakers both withdrew their main players, Jordan's first action when he returned to the bench was to pour a bucket of ice water over Wang Shuo's head.
In Miami, Riley, who was studying with his apprentice Spoelstra, saw this scene and immediately turned around and said: "Eric, go and pour yourself a bucket of ice water too!"
Hearing this, Spoelstra immediately raised several small question marks.
No, teacher, why don't you shower yourself with a bucket?
Live in Los Angeles, the Wizards' carnival continues.
As a child who grew up in a single-parent family, Stephen Jackson dialed his mother's phone number immediately.
Pau Gasol, wearing a Spanish flag, was on the sidelines teaching his teammates how to dance the Spanish bullfight.
On the side, Jordan, who liked this dance very much, also started dancing.
I just don’t know if the reason why Jordan likes this dance is because he wants to embody his old club, the Chicago Bulls.
Taking off his mask and looking up at the Staples dome, Hamilton, who still couldn't believe that he was about to become an NBA championship player, could no longer hold back his tears and cried.
And crying with him was his sweetheart, Arenas, who wanted to avoid the embarrassment of Hamilton crying alone.
Staples Center, Lakers fans who stay here are in luck.
Because on the sidelines, Jackson and Artest also put on boxing gloves and performed a "professional boxing" for everyone.
As for Wang Shuo, after being poured a bucket of ice water on Jordan...
He was extremely vengeful and immediately ordered several bottles of champagne and shot Jordan.
At this moment, Jordan, who was shot all over his face, laughed. Who knows, what he wiped with his big hands was the champagne on his face... or the " "Heroic Tears"?
certainly.
The most joyful moment is the moment when the Staples Center timer reaches zero.
On the scoreboard, 120 to 85.
TNT TV station, accompanied by Kenny Smith’s briefing, spread across the United States...
In the 01/02 season, the NBA ushered in its new king tonight!
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please let us congratulate the Washington Wizards with the warmest applause and cheers for winning the NBA championship in the 2001/02 season!"
