I’m Really Playing Basketball

On June 10, 2010, G4 of the Finals between the Bobcats and Lakers will continue to be staged at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, because in the previous three finals, the Bobcats have led by a big score of 3-0. , so considering the history of the NBA and the tradition of the Lakers, there is no suspense in this finals.

Therefore, tonight's Staples Arena was filled with a large number of Chen Xiao fans and former Los Angeles O'Neal fans.

Chen Xiao has many fans in Los Angeles, and O'Neal also has many fans in Los Angeles.

Although O'Neal joined Chen Xiao's team because he couldn't beat him, his image was very damaged among NBA fans.

However, the fans who still stand firmly beside O'Neal at this time are the real die-hard fans.

And because of the Bobcats' invincible record this season, O'Neal always said that Chen Xiao invited him, not him who took the initiative to kneel down and lick him. He worked hard to shape his own persona, which restored his image a lot.

At least, in Los Angeles, many of his fans have forgiven him.

After all, even now, seven years later, there are still many Los Angeles fans who are unwilling to accept the Lakers' decision to trade O'Neal.

Although Kobe has successfully led his team to the Finals twice in the past seven years and won the NBA MVP himself, for many Lakers fans, such achievements still cannot make them forget the invincible years when O'Neal was there.

Now seven years have passed, and the man they kicked out has actually made a comeback and is about to be crowned king again in his former kingdom.

For fans in Los Angeles, this is indeed a dramatic plot.

On the other side, as long as the Bobcats win this game, it will be Chen Xiao's fourth championship in his career, and it will also be Chen Xiao's fourth FMVP in his career.

If Chen Xiao really achieves such an achievement in this game, then with Chen Xiao's current accumulation of data, honors, and major honors in the NBA, he will be able to compete with Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and other NBA legends for the No. 1 spot in NBA history. Second player status.

Promoting from an ordinary top ten player in history to a top five player in history, and being able to compete for second place in history, is definitely a huge step in Chen Xiao's career.

In addition, if Kidd, one of the three core players of the Bobcats this season, wins this game, it will also be the second championship he has won in his career as the main force and core player.

Although there is no FMVP, but with the MVP and two core championships, coupled with his data accumulation, his status as the second point guard in history seems more worthy of his name.

Without this championship, Frankie's second point guard in history, to be honest, does seem a bit weak, especially in this era when Oscar Robertson's historical status has not fallen into the sewer because of a certain turtle boy.

A 72-win championship season, a 75-win championship season, plus the MVP, this honor is really hard for the boss.

Before the G4 game between the Bobcats and the Lakers started, experts and fans before the game were already taking stock of the Bobcats players' gains after winning the championship.

For the audience, this finals is over.

In fact, this is not only true for the audience, but also for the Lakers players, coaches, and management.

Some people are willing to accept it, but some people are definitely not willing to accept it.

For example, Mr. Ke.

After the game between the Bobcats and the Lakers started, because the Bobcats were about to win the championship, many players were a little excited and didn't feel good about shooting. On the other hand, on the Lakers side, many Lakers players were already completely exhausted. We have lost our energy and energy. After all, we are behind 0 to 3 and our strength is not as good as our opponents. It is definitely not easy for you to ask everyone to cheer up and fight hard at this time.

However, Boss Ke is really working hard.

In the first quarter of the game, the Gasol brothers combined for 2 of 8 and scored 6 points, Billups shot 0 of 3 and scored 0 points, and Artest made 10 of 1, but also failed to score 1 point. .

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe not only made 6 of 9 on the offensive end and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 16 points in a single quarter, but he also worked very hard on the defensive end to wake up his teammates and got 2 fouls in a single quarter.

Unfortunately, judging from the performance of the Lakers players in the first quarter, his teammates were not awakened by him.

This is a pity, but judging from the situation of other Lakers players, it is excusable.

Why do you say that?

Let's talk about the Gasol brothers. It's not that they didn't try hard to change everything with their own offense, but O'Neal is too intimidating at the basket, and Chen Xiao's ability to help defend when he runs up and down at the small forward position is too great. Too strong.

They really have little offensive space, and they don't have the ability to pull out and shoot three-pointers.

In the end, the two of them could only take 8 shots and hit the ball 6 times in a single quarter. In this finals, the offensive space of the two was really compressed by the Bobcats.

And what about Billups?

In this finals, Billups met his old enemy, Billups. Billups is also very good now. He won't suffer against most point guards in the league this season, and he may even be outstanding, but When he met Boss Ji, he felt really uncomfortable. Everyone was playing with their brains. Boss Ji was even more demonic and ruthless than him. This was very difficult to deal with.

And Artest, in this finals, when Artest met Chen Xiao, he was also holding back his resentment.

In this finals, Artest was given the task of quarreling with Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao didn't quarrel with him at all. He played every game very freely. It was as if Artest had been punched by a fist. If it's stuck on cotton, there's no way to exert force.

On the defensive end, I couldn't exert my strength. On the offensive end, O'Neal couldn't get in, and the outside shots were so hard. The iron kept banging and banging, and the whole person was broken.

It can be said that in this game, except for Kobe, the other four starting players of the Lakers had a somewhat broken mentality due to their own problems, their opponents' problems, or objective circumstances.

However, no matter how depressed their mentality is, these Lakers players are actually not softies, and they are not the kind of people who can't be tough. Kobe took the lead in the first quarter and performed so decisively. If they hadn't been moved at all. ,That is impossible.

Therefore, in the first quarter, the Lakers lost by 4 points 22-26.

In the second quarter, the Lakers players actually showed their fighting spirit and intensity.

They even beat the Bobcats 30-28 in a single quarter.

At the end of the half, the Lakers were 52-54, trailing by 2 points.

This game, which seemed to have no suspense, actually became suspense once again.

I have to say that the Lakers did play well in the second quarter. This was not because Kobe Bryant played well, but because Kobe's teammates played well.

In the second quarter, O'Neal rested off the court most of the time. When O'Neal was not on the court, the Gasol brothers played the highest efficiency since the Finals in this quarter.

The two made 6 of 6 in this quarter and scored 13 points.

Artest, who has been criticized a lot, also made three very strong breakthrough layups in this quarter, 2 of 2 in a single quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points.

As for the Bobcats, the excitement still hasn't eased much, and the offensive state is still quite average.

The Bobcats' shooting percentage in the first quarter was 37%, and in the second quarter it was 42%, which didn't improve much.

Perhaps the only good thing for the Bobcats is that in the first quarter, the Bobcats grabbed 20 rebounds, 8 of which were offensive rebounds. Although the Bobcat players were in an excited mood, which was not good for shooting, it was still very beneficial for fighting.

In the second quarter, there were a lot of steals. Therefore, in the two quarters, the Bobcats took 12 more shots than the Lakers.

Although the shooting rate was nearly 10 percentage points lower than the Lakers, they still led by two points.

However, no matter what, after the second quarter, the morale of the Lakers seemed to be restored. Under the leadership of Ko, they seemed to see hope.

If the Bobcats don't calm down their emotions, let alone whether this series may come back, this game seems to be a bit suspenseful.

Therefore, during halftime, Jordan was also decompressing other Bobcats players.

Let's just say that this championship is of great significance to the careers of O'Neal and Key, but it is also of great significance to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was not complacent. He was actually a little excited in the first half. However, his offense was indeed very stable. He made 6 of 12 shots in the half and still scored 17 points. He was the most stable player on the Bobcats team in the first half.

I have to say that the halftime break and the Lakers' pressing step by step were effective in decompressing the Bobcats.

After all, Chen Xiao, Boss Ji and O'Neal are not rookies.

The game is not over yet, the series is not over yet, they now need to get back to the state of themselves and their teammates.

In the third quarter of the game, facing the highly motivated Lakers, the Bobcats finally found their offensive form.

At the same time, because O'Neal was able to play the whole quarter again, there were problems with the offensive status of other Lakers players. In this quarter of the game, the Gasol brothers, who made 6 of 6 in the second quarter, faced O'Neal. It failed again, 2 of 7 in a single quarter, and the two of them scored another 6 points together.

Although Artest made 1 of 1 in this quarter and hit a 3-pointer, it was just a 3-pointer. He could no longer get inside the Bobcats' paint.

However, after a rest in the second quarter, Ke Lao was really full of energy in the third quarter.

Therefore, although the Bobcats have the advantage in the third quarter, they can almost be said to be overwhelming the Lakers.

But with Kobe's 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the third quarter, the Bobcats were only 29-27 in the third quarter, leading by 2 points in a single quarter.

After three quarters, the Bobcats led the Lakers by 4 points 83 to 79.

In this case, the Lakers, in the fourth quarter, started fighting with all their main players.

As for the Bobcats, what surprised Chen Xiao and Jordan but not surprisingly was that O'Neal, who had already played 28 minutes in the first three quarters of this game, actually asked to play the entire fourth quarter and the entire second half.

Regarding this request from the 37-year-old veteran, looking at the extremely eager and excited look in O'Neal's eyes, neither Jordan nor Chen Xiao could refuse his request.

Although O'Neal is a 37-year-old veteran, although Chen Xiao has never liked O'Neal.

But it's hard to deny his contributions to this Bobcats team.

Let's put it this way, as long as O'Neal stands under the basket, he can completely liberate the vitality of Chen Xiao, Roy, Rose, Granger and other outside players.

As long as O'Neal stays at the basket, the Bobcats' perimeter players no longer have to worry about being stabbed in the back, and they can put more pressure on their opponents on the defensive end.

Similarly, as long as O'Neal is holding the opponent's inside line under the basket, their outside players can also gain greater one-on-one space on the outside and space for catching and shooting.

The arrival of O'Neal has made the Bobcats so strong this season. This is not unreasonable.

In this game, the Lakers' performance changes in the three quarters can almost be said to be the greatest explanation of O'Neal's importance.

As long as O'Neal is on the court, the Lakers' inside line, led by the Gasol brothers, will be misfired.

As long as O'Neal is not on the court, the Gasol brothers can suppress the Bobcats' interior and kill everyone.

"For me, I don't have to think about the next game. As long as I win this game, I can retire directly tomorrow!"

O'Neal's words directly eliminated Jordan's last worries.

With such an excited and desperate O'Neal continuing to stay on the court, one can imagine how difficult the Lakers' offense will be, especially since they have not yet scored three points.

In the end, there was no suspense in this game, but it was made suspenseful by Kobe. In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Lakers with a score of 106 to 100 and won.

In this game, Kobe made 18 of 33 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored a game-high 44 points.

Except for Kobe Bryant, no one on the Lakers scored more than 15 points.

As for the Bobcats, Chen Xiao made 12 of 24 in this game, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored a Bobcats-high 34 points in the game.

However, apart from Chen Xiao, O'Neal made 7 of 10 shots in this game and scored 17 points and 18 rebounds. More importantly, in this game, the 37-year-old O'Neal actually played 40 minutes and helped the Bobcats kill his inside line. Stand firm as hell.

Apart from Chen Xiao and O'Neal, only one person from the Bobcats scored in double figures. Roy made 9 of 13, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 23 points.

However, although only three other Bobcats players scored in double figures, there were quite a few who scored 6, 7, and 8 points.

I have to say that the mentality of many Bobcats players did change in this game, and their offensive performance was not very good. However, as the main and substitute two anchors, Chen Xiao and Roy, are indeed very stable.

"champion!

We are the championship! "

When the game ended, Chen Xiao, Kidd, O'Neal, Roy, Rose, Aldridge, Granger, Battier and other players on and off the court seemed to be roaring and running like crazy. .

On the other side, Kobe Bryant, the head player of the Lakers, sucked the sweat above the ball and closed his eyes unwillingly.

It was so uncomfortable to witness that fat man being crowned in front of him.
