legendary point guard

"With a 15-point difference, Los Angeles turned the Waterhouse Center into its own territory tonight."

Steve Kerr glanced at Mark Jackson and sighed: "I can't help it. The Lakers played so well tonight. In the first half, Paul and Bryant, in the second half Bryant, even Wood played equally well."

The data bar on the big screen clearly read 83:68, and the Lakers, who were playing away games, were leading by 15 points.

Kobe's 32 points made many Magic fans gasp, although Lin Sen also scored a good 25 points.

"Steve, do you think there is a possibility that Los Angeles loses the Finals, and then Bryant wins the Finals MVP with his outstanding performance like Wood did last year?" Mark Jackson asked with a smile.

"Your assumption doesn't exist at all." Steve Kerr shrugged, "No one in San Antonio performed particularly well last year, but Orlando is different, unless Wood plays badly in the next few games.

But how likely do you think this is? Even now, some things happening to Wood off the court may have an impact on him.

But I think a professional athlete should know the difference between himself on the court and off the court, and Wood has done a good job starting from the Progressive League."

Stan Van Gundy made arrangements carefully. Just off the court, the coaching staff was thinking about how to reverse the unfavorable situation on the court.

The crazy cheering in the center of the water house at the beginning is still there, but it feels less confident.

After all, the Lakers basically pressured the Magic to play in the first three quarters, and the Magic didn't play very badly. They just had opportunities but didn't feel good.

"Ron, the team needs you and Chauncey to play in the second team! You two focus on offense!" Stan Van Gundy said seriously.

From the first game to this game, Artest and Battier's defense against Kobe was basically in place.

But there was still no way to stop Kobe's goal. Stan Van Gundy could only accept this situation, just like he usually felt that his opponent could not prevent Lin Sen from scoring even though he was guarding him.

With the whistle blowing, the fourth quarter officially kicked off.

Compared with the Lakers, the Magic's strong bench is their biggest reliance.

This point cannot be compared with the Los Angeles Lakers, who lack Anzu Bynum. However, the Magic did not feel well today and the second lineup was not able to effectively chase points.

Van Gundy hoped that Artest would use forced offense to regain the team's offensive situation. In this way, the Magic also gave up the idea of ​​Artest going on defense as soon as Kobe came on the court.

"Oh, Stan just let Ron and Chauncey play. The idea of ​​chasing points is very strong. I don't know if it can be realized. Today, the Water House Center is obviously unwilling to admit that the Orlando Magic is its own master. The basket is like a lid on them.

." Steve Kerr said with a smile.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Artest passed the ball directly.

Radmanovic stood in front of Artest. This season, especially in the playoffs, Radmanovic is one of the heroes of the Lakers' current success.

With a height of 2.08, Artest was covered, but Artest used his strong body to withstand Radmanovic.

Lin Sen, who was sitting on the bench, did not fully focus on the court. Sooner or later, the game would return to the main competition.

The team's defense against the Lakers' offense was really bad tonight. Although the interior defense was much better in the third quarter, Kobe was not able to defend it very well.

Secondly, the team is struggling on the offensive end. No matter how they shoot, it seems to be different, especially mid- and long-range shots.

It's not easy to win a game without shooting. The top priority now is to get the ball into the basket, otherwise it will be impossible to reverse and win the game.

Artest on the court forcefully squeezed in and sent the ball to the basket under Powell's defense. However, the ball made a joke with Artest and slipped out.

"Oh, Orlando's luck was so bad tonight. The basket not only looked like it had a cover, it looked like it had a layer of Vaseline smeared on it."

"Vaseline? Why did I think of something I shouldn't have thought of?" Mark Jackson showed a mean expression.

Artest waved his hand in annoyance, and Lin Sen looked at Artest on the court and frowned.

The team didn't feel good tonight, and some goals that were basically scoreable failed to make it into the basket. This will cause some changes in people's mentality.

After the mentality changes, it will naturally affect the feeling of taking action, which may form a vicious circle.

The game continued, and the Lakers' offensive performance without Kobe and Gasol was not good either.

On the defensive end, Artest stole Radmanovic's fast break and succeeded in a one-handed dunk, which made the screams in the center of the water house become much louder.

"Stan should thank Ron and Chauncey. They are working hard to close the point difference to within ten points, although this process does not seem easy at the moment." Steve Kerr looked at Artest and Bee who were walking to the sidelines.

Lupus said.

Four minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lakers had replaced Odom, and now Phil Jackson took the lead in calling a timeout.

The Lakers lead the Magic by 11 points at 91:80. As long as the point difference is reduced to single digits, their hopes will increase a lot.

Ten points is a hurdle on the basketball court. After crossing this hurdle, there will be a six-point hurdle. As long as you continue to cross it, you will return to the same platform.

Phil Jackson doesn't want the Magic and Lakers to get back to the same starting line, while Stan Van Gundy wants just the opposite.

"I don't know if Wood and Bryant will play early. There are less than eight minutes left. It's almost like playing early. But Ron should rest for a while. It is unrealistic for him to play the whole fourth quarter." Mark Jackson said.

said.

Lin Sen glanced at the Lakers bench on the other side of the technical table and met Kobe's eyes.

There was no smile on Kobe's face. He glanced at Lin Sen with a stern expression and then turned away.

Lin Sen smiled. He had already thought of a plan after playing, although it was not easy to implement.

"beep!"

With a whistle, the referee Bavetta on duty signaled the players from both sides to return to the court.

"The two protagonists Wood and Bryant have finally returned to the court. The backcourt showdown that I am most looking forward to. Oh no. The most anticipated backcourt showdown for basketball fans around the world is about to take place.

Wood has staged many reversal plays. Whether he can get what he wants today, but I know Bryant definitely doesn't want this to happen."

After Steve Kerr finished speaking, Kobe took Odom's serve.

Battier, who replaced Kobe, stood in front of Kobe. He and Artest have different defensive styles.

The Magic coaching staff hopes that the two styles of defense will interfere with Kobe's offense, but the effect is not very good so far in the game.

Bang!

Lin Sen saw Gasol pulled up to the high post and immediately prepared to change positions. Just as Lin Sen expected, Kobe and Gasol wanted to cooperate in a pick-and-roll.

When Kobe Bryant wanted to get rid of Battier, Lin Sen immediately replaced him.

Battier did not pursue defense blindly, but directly changed positions with Lin Sen.

boom!

Lin Sen's chest collided with Kobe's side. But Lin Sen controlled it very well and kept his arms raised, without any conflict.

After the impact, they separated immediately to avoid being blown by the referee's whistle. Kobe was also affected by Lin Sen and slowed down his movements slightly.

This delay was an excellent defensive opportunity for Lin Sen. At this moment, Kobe shot the ball with his left hand.

He slid sideways to the right and jumped up.

When Lin Sen came to his senses, he was still a little slow.

"In the confrontation between Bryant and Wood, Wood failed! With a 14-point difference, Bryant told Wood with his fiery touch that he was going to win this game." Mark Jackson looked at the players on the court with cold eyes.

Lin Sen's Kobe Bryant said.

Lin Sen ignored Kobe's provocation and turned towards the baseline.

After passing the half court with the ball, Lin Sen saw Kobe.

After passing the center circle and still three or four steps away from the three-point line, Kobe moved his steps. Lin Sen also accelerated his dribbling frequency.

Seeing Kobe approaching, Lin Sen stared at Kobe like he was prey.

Lin Sen's eyes made Kobe very unhappy. He opened his arms and puffed out his chest, exuding a cold aura.

Kobe tried to force the ball. He knew that it was unrealistic to intercept Lin Sen's ball. He just wanted to slightly disrupt Lin Sen's rhythm. This was his purpose.

But he also knew that it was not easy to interrupt Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm.

Just as Kobe himself thought, for Lin Sen, such a tentative steal had no interference at all.

Lin Sen easily got out of the way and at the same time used the opportunity to lower his body's center of gravity sharply.

Snapped!

He slapped the ball hard and leaned his shoulders.

His body moved forward instantly, his right wrist flicked, and the ball immediately left his right hand.

After close contact with the floor, it bounced to his left hand. The moment the ball touched his left hand, Lin Sen's foot also moved.

Kobe made a quick judgment and moved his body quickly, trying to block Lin Sen's breakthrough space.

But Kobe didn't dare to be careless. He knew Lin Sen's strength and never thought that he could block this guy's attack so easily.

Lin Sen forcibly stopped his body momentum and instead leaned against Kobe's body. The moment the two collided, Kobe felt the huge improvement in Lin Sen's strength.

Although he didn't completely knock Kobe away, that moment was precious to Lin Sen.

Lin Sen did not miss this opportunity and took a step forward.

Bah!

There was a harsh friction sound, and the next second Lin Sen had turned to the other side of Kobe.

"Clean pass, Wood, Wood got rid of Bryant!"

Kobe moved tenaciously, but at this moment Lin Sen actually pulled back laterally.

Faced with Lin Sen's sudden movement, Kobe subconsciously reacted by moving to the right, but his body failed to keep up.

The whole person staggered, Lin Sen glanced at Kobe and jumped up.

Kobe awkwardly stood on the ground with his left hand in front of him, glanced at Lin Sen and threw the ball. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
