Chapter 193 anxious
Michael Jordan hit a three-pointer, which immediately caused huge cheers from the audience.
Why!
Not easy!
Just like Steve Nash's dunk, it will definitely make the whole audience burst into loud cheers. It's the same truth.
In fact, if you really want to say that Michael Jordan's three-point ability is still poor, it is not realistic.
After all, he is someone who can make it to the finals of the three-point shooting competition. Don't worry about his performance in the finals. Anyway, his performance in the first round proved that as long as he has the touch, he will definitely be able to score three points.
But why does his three-pointer still elicit such a reaction until now?
The reason is just two words: too little!
This season, Michael Jordan rarely exerted his strength during the regular season, but he did exert his strength in the preseason. But on a stage like the finals, where the intensity of both sides is placed, it is normal for him to perform poorly.
Look at Hamilton, who is famous for his shooting. His three-pointers in the entire series were only over 40%.
In a high-intensity confrontation, the shooter's survival space is really very small.
Otherwise, why wouldn't a team with a shooter as its core win the championship?
The reason is here.
The game continues in the following time.
Hitting this three-pointer announced the return of Michael Jordan on the offensive end.
Kobe brought the ball to the scene, and Billups stood in front of him at this time.
The Wizards switch defense...
"Now Michael can only take care of one side. If he is allowed to devote himself to the offensive end, he will not be able to put enough pressure on Kobe on the defensive end. Switching defense is the best option!"
Kenny Smith said.
But the problem is that when Billups defends Kobe, the difficulty suddenly goes down for Kobe. This is not very easy to hit a mid-range jumper.
Fortunately, Michael Jordan scored again against him in the next round.
Returned a wave.
Although there was no pressure on Kobe on the defensive end, there was continuous pressure on the offensive end, so this wave was not a loss.
When the game was deadlocked, Oakley was replaced, and then it was Olajuwon's turn to come on.
This is the third man Shaquille O'Neal has faced tonight.
He never thought that he would have to entertain so many men in one night.
This is crazy...
"Big Shark" has been slimmed down for you, can you make it?
But what I say in my heart is what I say in my heart, the confrontation still needs to be top-notch. This game is so exciting. At this time, it’s just a matter of seeing who has the stronger fighting spirit.
Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
It is worth mentioning that in order to ensure that their own goals can go smoothly, both sides are now trying not to arrange for Shaquille O'Neal and Jiang Dalin to face each other directly.
From Scott's side, it's not necessary. With such a bunch of old guys taking turns sitting off the court, waiting to come on, consuming the "big shark", what more Jiang Dalin is needed!
He can just use all his energy on the offensive end.
From the Lakers' point of view, Shaquille O'Neal is tired of dealing with those old guys, and now he has to face Jiang Dalin on the defensive end. It is estimated that all his strength will be exhausted in less than two quarters!
therefore……
Insiders on both sides are using other combat forces to consume the opponent's trump card.
At the end of the second quarter, Shaquille O'Neal scored 14 points in a single quarter, and Jiang Dalin also had a strong sense of presence, scoring 13 points in a single quarter.
The score between the two teams was 54 to 53.
The Wizards barely lead by 1 point.
Director Zhang watched the two sides playing so wonderfully and said "Hey" with great interest: "It's only one point at halftime, this, this, this game is great! Maybe David Stern's run was in vain.
trip!"
He felt that there was no guarantee that the Lakers could win this game.
"Kobe is in very good shape, shooting 50% from the field. This season, I have always said that Kobe can no longer be regarded as Peter Pan. He should be called Peter Pan. Look at his performance in the regular season and playoffs.
You will know from his performance at that time, he has indeed reached the MVP level."
"Many fans may be saying that this MVP level is due to his performance with Shaquille O'Neal on the court. Regardless of whether this theory is correct or not, it must be said that Shaq and Kobe have a very good relationship.
It is estimated that O'Neal will step down and Kobe will take over, and the two of them will still be able to fight!"
Su Qun nodded beside him, this makes sense.
Seeing Su Qun nod, Zhang Weiping glanced at him and said: "So, there is no point in discussing this matter. Now Kobe is the Wizards' most troublesome perimeter offensive point. I don't think anyone will deny this!"
Seeing that he had finished his analysis, Su Qun also spoke, but he was talking about another person: "Dalin's condition in the first half was actually very good!"
Since Jiang Dalin came on the field, his shots have reached double digits, but he has only conceded 3 goals.
Zhang Weiping also nodded: "Dalin's play style and purpose tonight are very clear. I will press you in the penalty area and force you to double-team Shaq!"
Su Qun smiled: "O'Neal is also difficult. The veterans of the Wizards are not so easy to get rid of."
Under such circumstances, Jiang Dalin chose to continuously attack the inside, which was simply a deliberate attempt to stimulate Shaquille O'Neal.
"I bet you don't dare to come to defend yourself, it's a waste of energy!"
These words also spoke to Shaq's heart. Throughout the first half, Jiang Dalin kept dangling the ball in front of him, which really frustrated him.
After 2000 years, no one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of him!
But he is also very clear about the current problem. The Wizards' depth inside is indeed much higher than that of the Lakers. Those old guys will definitely not be able to move if they are expected to do it now.
But if they were to come up for five or six minutes to torture their opponents, then I'm sorry, they would be absolutely awesome!
The second half of the game started quickly.
In the last two quarters, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle from the very beginning. They fought fiercely for every ball, but there was nothing they could do about it. Under the current situation, the difference between the two sides was only one point.
If the winner hadn't been decided at this moment, no one could really tell what would happen at the critical moment.
Therefore, even though Shaquille O'Neal was very tired in the first half, he took the lead at this time and rushed to the forefront, constantly forcing the opponent to compress the defense.
In this way, Kobe can really do it and handle it easily when facing Billups.
And when one person in the "ok" combination can score calmly, then they will often take enough initiative.
Um……
Anyway, this is the case when facing other teams.
Now facing the Wizards, the "ok" combination has such a good offensive momentum, but they are unable to overtake the score.
Everyone on the Wizards team also had a sullen face, a decisive battle, this is a decisive battle!
Michael Jordan, who was already tired, chose to break through frequently, trying to cause fouls on the opponent's defense to gain free throw opportunities.
Seeing him like this, Su Qun sighed twice: "This is really desperate!"
As for the Wizards, it wasn't just him who was fighting. Barkley, who was playing again, really gritted his teeth against Shaquille O'Neal, preventing him from easily entering the paint.
Of course, the effect is not very good.
but……
Although the defense was not good, he successfully helped Jiang Dalin withstand Shaq when grabbing rebounds, allowing the Wizards to gain consecutive offensive rebounds.
At 7 minutes and 15 seconds of the third quarter, the Wizards successfully opened up a 4-point gap.
Gradually starting to gain the upper hand, Phil Jackson panicked a little and immediately called a timeout.
O'Neal gave Barkley a dirty look.
This old boy really worked hard today.
Buckley was not afraid of his gaze at all, and stared back fiercely.
Can I not work hard?
Do you know how long I've wanted a ring?
You know what Kenny Smith said?
He actually said that I was holding him back, but I, Barkley, had never held me back!
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became more active. For the fans, the gradually leading points difference is the road to the trophy. They are getting closer and closer!
The Wizards defend their title for the first time in franchise history!
They are waiting to witness history!
It's just that the Lakers obviously didn't agree that the game would end like this.
Kobe stepped on the court and hit the shot with a three-pointer, bringing the score back to one point!
The cheers at the scene suddenly died down.
When Kobe returned to defense, he took a special look at the Wizards audience on the sidelines.
What were you calling just now?
Try calling again.
But on the Wizards' side, Hamilton also stepped up and scored a three-pointer after receiving the ball, making the cheers louder again.
The fan who was choked by Kobe immediately shouted back at Kobe.
I just shouted, what to do!
Hamilton returned to defense with a calm expression.
As the third quarter is coming to an end, he is about to start exerting his strength!
Following him, Larry Hughes was named to the All-Defensive Team this season.
But when it came to Hamilton, a marathon runner, he had no choice.
I can't chase him away even if he runs.
Looking at Hamilton again, his face was not red and his heart was not beating. He looked like he had just sweated a little.
A look that says "I'm going to get serious now".
To be honest, in this "grinding" game, Hamilton really has an advantage the more he plays.
Phil Jackson also shook his head slightly. In his opinion, Hamilton's style of play should be expelled from the league. Who can bear it if I give you twenty-five thousand dollars?
However, Larry Hughes also responded on the next attack, using a breakthrough layup to narrow the point difference back to within one goal.
After this series, it can be expected that not only the "ok" combination and Jiang Dalin will complete their transformation, but their group of role players will also undergo great changes.
This is definitely a series where offense and defense are at their best.
As for who would have the last laugh, at the end of the third quarter, it was completely unclear. The Lakers only reduced the 1-point difference to 2 points.
David Stern was stunned. He really didn't expect that the Lakers would be in such a state tonight!
The "ok" combination of the Lakers, and Jiang Dalin...
Meeting these people is truly a blessing to the entire alliance!
Originally, whether it was the "OK" combination or the "young and old combination" of Jiang Dalin and Jordan, they were both invincible duos in the world.
Unfortunately, they existed in the same era.
It’s really hard not to be prosperous in the NBA!
Off the court, Michael Jordan looked more serious than ever.
It’s the last quarter, the last 12 minutes.
He finished the Gatorade in his hand and turned to glance at Jiang Dalin beside him: "Man, do you still remember the second round of the Eastern Conference finals we watched together?"
The game between the Nets and the Pacers was in Game 7...
How could Jiang Dalin forget?
"Then do you still remember what I said at that time?"
In any series, the sixth game must be played as the last game, because once the series really has to be resolved through the seventh game, everything will become unknown, uncontrollable, and unpredictable.
"I never let the finals go to the seventh game. This is the reason why I have been to the finals seven times and won the championship!"
His tone was very serious, more serious than ever before!
Jiang Dalin nodded. He had to admit that what Michael Jordan said was not wrong at all. The Lakers' resilience in these two games was something they didn't have in the previous two games.
It shows that this team is getting better and better.
Who knows how much better they can get by Game 7.
Therefore, this last quarter, no matter how difficult it is, the Wizards must take it!
"beep!"
The buzzer sounded, and the fourth quarter of Game 6 of the Finals officially started.
Kobe and Shaquille O'Neal came on the court with the same determination on their faces.
Barkley slumped in his chair on the court, but still shouted at Karl Malone: "Fuck the shark to death!"
He is almost paralyzed. He made a forced comeback this season. After not exercising for more than two years, his whole body is extremely sore. Now the only thing he can do to help the Wizards is this mouth.
Huh?
Then why should I come back?
Can't I just praise them directly from the commentary box?
Barkley found himself lonely in his comeback.
Of course, if you can receive the ring, you will be happy even if you are lonely again.
Anne Hathaway's expression became tense. This game was so exciting that she was even a little wet. She wiped it several times, but it was still wet.
I really put my heart and soul into it.
Kim Kardashian also looked attentively.
But the person she was staring at at the moment was Jiang Dalin.
Maybe it's because I became a mother. When I think of my own child, I think of Jiang Dalin, and the only thing left in my mind is the child's father.
Compared to this matter, she didn't care whether Jiang Dalin won or not.
If he wins, he is the father of her child; if he loses, he is still the father of her child...
There is no difference at all.
The Lakers served, and Kobe took the ball in the backcourt and dribbled it to the frontcourt. Billups was very careful to keep a distance from him.
Kobe glanced at Michael Jordan and seemed to be saying, why don't you come and defend me?
Then you will definitely lose!
At this moment, what Kobe wants to beat is Michael Jordan, and he also believes that now he can definitely beat Michael Jordan!
Jordan didn't react at all, and Kobe was no longer polite. He kept changing his steps while holding the ball, and then shot a mid-range jumper.
Billups stayed in front of him and didn't lose his position, but there was no interference at all.
80 to 80!
The two teams are tied!
