Reborn My Name Is Kobe

The third quarter of our game between the Lakers and the SuperSonics kicked off. The first offensive possession was played by the SuperSonics. Their open Gary Payton took the ball outside the three-point line, and then let Sean Kan

Pu came forward to engage in a high pick-and-roll with him. After the pick-and-roll, Shawn Kemp made a pass to the inside. However, after the pass, he was blocked by Shaq.

This time Shawn Kemp played tougher. He did not retreat, but used one of his arms to support Shaq's body, and then made a motion to catch the ball with his other hand. Such a strategic position

This action means that Shawn Kemp wants to have a head-on confrontation with Shaq.

Scenes like this are actually rare in the first half, because Shawn Kemp and Shaq were not directly facing each other in the first half, but after the second half, Shaq obviously began to face Shawn Kemp.

There was a confrontation. I don’t know if this was deliberately arranged by the SuperSonics head coach. Maybe he wanted to use Shawn Kemp’s frontal impact to cause Shaq to foul.

After all, the overall defense of our Lakers team is still very good, and the SuperSonics' outside shooting today can only be described as average, and it did not provide much help to their inside player Sean Kemp. In this situation

Under this, it seems that Shawn Kemp needs to use his own strength to fight for better scoring opportunities for himself.

After Shaq blocked Shawn Kemp's path, he actually didn't expect that Shawn Kemp would choose to confront him head-on. His choice surprised Shaq, but then he came to his senses.

Because in fact, Shaq's dominance is still there, and he has considerable confidence in his own strength and low-post defense.

Because of this self-confidence, Shaq soon had a head-on duel with Shawn Kemp. Although Shawn Kemp was inferior to Shaq in terms of strength and height, it did not mean that

Shaq will absolutely crush him when he's guarding him.

After all, basketball rules are more often biased towards the offensive side, and our Lakers players are unlikely to double-team or help defend Shawn Kemp when Shaq is guarding Shawn Kemp alone, because

Everyone believed that Shaq could handle this little thing on his own, so Shawn Kemp was free to engage in serious one-on-one confrontations with Shaq.

Shaq also underestimated the enemy a little bit. I didn't expect that Shawn Kemp seemed to be a very rough player, but he was really quite good at making fake moves. His low-post operations quickly put Shaq into trouble.

We are in a dilemma.

Shaq actually has a lot of skills in low post defense, but he underestimated Shawn Kemp, which led to the current situation, allowing Shawn Kemp to take advantage of Shaq's lack of concentration on the defensive end and get a

Opportunity to drive directly to the basket and score.

You must know that Rainman Shawn Kemp's physical fitness is extremely explosive, and his explosive power is no worse than Shaq's. When he was still a long way from the basket, he had already risen into the air, spreading his arms in the air, like a

Only Dapeng spread its wings, and Shaq could only watch from behind. He actually had no intention of continuing to defend. For him, on the defensive end, he could only defend the ball he could defend.

That's it.

Therefore, after this ball was scored, the morale of the entire Sonics players was somewhat improved, and the sound of our Lakers' home stadium, Staples Arena, suddenly became much quieter because of this ball.

This situation is actually very normal. After all, Shaq really doesn't work that hard on the defensive end. If Shawn Kemp plays more resolutely, he can use his athletic ability to score.

Of course, it depends on whether the Sonics will continue to implement their tactics. On the other hand, this kind of ball can also increase Shaq's excitement. If the opponent hits one on his head, he will definitely

He tries to find a way to pay it back in the next few rounds, that's the kind of character Shaq has.

Therefore, in the next round, Shaq ran desperately to the low post to ask for the ball. We saw that Shaq was very determined to get the ball, so he passed the ball to Shaq's hands immediately, and

It was Shawn Kemp who was guarding Shaq at this time.

There are also two Sonics players standing on the side, seemingly waiting for Shaq to enter the paint at any time to double-team him, and grabbing the basketball directly from his hands is probably their plan at this time.

After Shaq got the ball, he did not choose to launch an attack on the basket immediately. This time, he seemed to be smarter. He first made a detailed observation of all the surrounding situations. After these observations, he

You can understand what the opponent's defensive arrangement looks like, and what he needs to do to get rid of their defense.

In fact, Shaq is an extremely smart person, and his basketball IQ is also very high. It's just that he is sometimes too lazy. Even when he is on the playing field, he is too lazy to think about the changes in the situation on the playing field. If he could

If he uses his brain more to think about the situation on the playing field, he will definitely become more powerful.

Now he has entered a thinking state. In this state, Shaq is extremely ferocious. After observing the defensive positions of the surrounding Sonics players, he began to plan how to launch the attack.

Such an attack.

Shaq's starting speed is astonishing. At least considering his height and weight, such a sudden turn is simply incredible. His turn speed is fast and the range of his turn is large, and there is no warning. After turning around, a huge space will open up.

, making it very difficult for defensive players to further block Shaq or even foul Shaq.

Shawn Kemp actually knows Shaq's killer move, but unfortunately, there are so many of Shaq's killer moves that it's almost impossible to guard against them. And even if you know that Shaq is going to use this move,

It may not be possible to truly defend him. The scary thing about Shaq is that he is extremely powerful and cannot be blocked just by trying to block him.

Then Shaq turned around and passed Shawn Kemp, which suddenly opened up the space on the court. Although two SuperSonics players rushed to defend Shaq in time, they were faced with a terrible situation.

When Shaq was on the court, it could only serve as a backdrop. Shaq jumped up high, directly over the bodies of the two defensive players, and slammed the basketball into the basket.

After he dunked, he hung on the rim for a long time. This ball immediately regained the momentum on the court and returned to our Lakers side. The morale bonus brought by Sean Kemp's previous dunk

The effect was immediately restored by Shaq's ball.

In addition, after all, this is the home court of our Lakers. The enthusiasm of the home fans is almost melting us. Now I am somewhat used to the enthusiasm of the Staples fans, so it is not actually like the first few days of the season.

The kind of shock I felt during the game, but this does not mean that there is no shock at all.

Shaq's explosion activated the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene. In fact, a very important purpose of their money to come to the scene is to come and experience the passionate collision on the basketball court. Among these passionate collisions, the most exciting one is nature.

Or a dunk.

Although a giant dunk like Shaq's is not aesthetically pleasing, it is full of explosive power and bloodiness. It makes people's blood boil after watching it. This is enough for fans. Shaq's violent aesthetics

That's how they like to dunk.

Different players have different strengths. For example, Jordan's dunk is also very beautiful, but Shaq's dunk will obviously give people a stronger shock and perspective, especially when it overwhelms several defensive players on the other side and forces a dunk.

, which simply shocked the fans at the scene.

Shaq also started to dance his shark dance, completely ignoring the contemptuous glances the other party gave him. He even deliberately used his eyes to provoke Shawn Kemp.

Shawn Kemp is also the kind of player with a very temperamental temper. Of course, it is difficult to tolerate Shaq's provocation. So in the next round, Shawn Kemp is ready to challenge Shaq one-on-one. Today, he seems to be fighting against Shaq.

It was a completely head-to-head confrontation. Neither of them was convinced by the other, and both were ready to continue to kill the opponent's inside line in their own offensive rounds.

This time Shaq had to concentrate a lot more on the defensive end. He didn't really want Shawn Kemp to score over his head in two consecutive rounds. The previous ball could be said to be because he didn't pay enough attention.

Caused by concentration, now that his attention has become very concentrated, he also wants to see how great Shawn Kemp is and how capable he is of scoring under the basket that Shaq is guarding.

Shawn Kemp was not at all afraid of the tremendous momentum shown by Shaq. He took the pass from Payton's glove and started holding the ball directly from outside the three-point line, seeming to be looking for opportunities to beat Shaq head-on.

Shaq also lowered his center of gravity at this time and looked like he was defending like an outside player. This is really not an easy thing for us. It is not easy to see such a situation happen. Shaq

Ke actually also assumes the posture of an outside player focusing on defense.

But then Sean Kemp also started to use crotch dribbling and cross-stepping that are generally used by outside players. Unexpectedly, his basic dribbling skills are still at a certain level, and they are not as rough as most people imagine.

.

When Shawn Kemp faced Shaq's serious defense, of course there was no way to directly use his own strength to fight against Shaq. After all, his height, weight and strength were at a disadvantage, and Shaq wanted to hold him back.

A strong attack is not easy, and his only chance is to use his feet to attack Shaq.

Shawn Kemp's footsteps are really quite good. This cannot be ignored at all. How can I put it this way? Shawn Kemp gives people the illusion on the offensive end that he is a rough guy without skills, but in fact

Well, he is indeed a rough guy, but he is not without any skills.

How could a player like him who can become a quasi-All-Star have no skills at all? It's just that his style of play may not rely so much on technology to perform. Ordinary people may not necessarily be able to see this.

Gotta come out.

Shaq seems to have underestimated his skills, especially his foot skills, but this time Shaq defended seriously, which meant that Shawn Kemp would not have the opportunity to break into the penalty area and attack as easily as before.

It seemed that Shawn Kemp first dribbled the ball to find Shaq's defensive focus, and then actually made a gesture of worshiping Buddha like a defender. This action stunned me. I didn't expect this guy to do such tricks, but

That's right. His body is a bit too big after all, so he definitely won't be as calm or as good as a defender doing the Buddha worship movements, and there will be a certain time delay.

However, his worship still deceived Shaq's focus. After all, Shaq would never have thought that Shawn Kemp would play such a thing with him. Under normal circumstances, the operations of a small guard like worship

It’s not that easy to do, especially when your height and weight reach a certain level. Inertia and center of gravity will make it difficult for you to control the balance of your body. I’m afraid that if your technique is not up to par, you will not knock your opponent down, but will let yourself down.

It's not a strange thing to lose focus.

After Shawn Kemp performed this Buddha worship gesture, Shaq felt a little stupid. His focus had changed, and it was not an easy matter to change his focus back again.

Shawn Kemp took advantage of this time difference to break through Shaq's weak side defensive area. Shaq was unable to keep up with Shawn Kemp's first step, but this time he did not intend to give up defending Shawn Kemp. Before

That ball allowed Shawn Kemp to rush in and dunk easily. This time, he was determined not to let Shawn Kemp do it so easily.

I saw Shawn Kemp rushing into the paint and preparing to dunk again. Unexpectedly, a huge sound and shadow appeared from behind him at this time, as well as a huge palm. This palm was so big that it could completely

Cover the basketball completely underneath.

Shaq also defended with all his strength this time, and directly slapped the ball in Shawn Kemp's hand from behind. However, his body was so huge that the inertia directly knocked Shawn Kemp away.

.

The referee awarded Shaq a defensive foul, and Shawn Kemp was unable to get up from the ground for a long time. It is estimated that he will have a little psychological shadow after this. It must be quite a big thing to be brought down by Shaq like this.

A sour and refreshing thing.

Shaq was called for a foul, but he didn't look sad at all. In fact, in order to guard him, the opponent had committed countless fouls on him today. This time, it was Shaq who fouled him, so for

For Shaq, this feeling was actually pretty good, because after all, he didn't let Shawn Kemp score the ball easily.

Shawn Kemp was not able to win both free throws. He missed the first free throw. It may be because Shaq's foul had a huge physical impact on him, so his free throws were not able to be taken.

Let's all take penalties.

In the next offense, I wanted to do more things. To be honest, it was not very good for Shaq to play alone. I also decided to hit a more beautiful ball.

I held the ball and observed outside the three-point line, wanting to see what the Sonics' defensive formation looked like. However, the Sonics' defense was really doing a pretty good job at this time. It seemed that both inside and outside

They all seem to have strong defense, and it's difficult for me to find particularly good singles opportunities on the outside.

Because Payton's defense against me was still very tight at this time. In the first half, the number of fouls he committed went up, so he was a little more merciful to me. But it's hard to tell now because his number of fouls went up.

The number of fouls has dropped again, so now it is still difficult for me to break through his defense, because he will most likely use brutal fouls to pull me down directly.

Considering this, I am still more cautious. I know that Payton's defense is full of resilience, like a dog-skin plaster. Although his defense is so powerful, I actually think his defensive actions are relatively clean.

Different from later players like Bowen or Green who were relatively dirty defensively, in many cases, even if you don't use particularly big moves in defense, you can't break through him.

This is quite a challenging thing, but I will never back down easily. As long as Payton is distracted or there are other opportunities for me to seize, I will definitely launch an attack without hesitation.

Come.

Finally, Glove Payton also showed a small flaw. As for why he showed this flaw, it was actually because the threat posed by Shaq in the paint was too great. When Shaq was blocked, he

Directly knocking Sean Kemp to the ground.

At this time, Gary Payton's attention was suddenly attracted to Shaq, and I took advantage of this gap and did not pass the ball directly to Shaq, but directly shot a pull-up jumper from outside the three-point line, because I

I know that even if this ball is passed to Shaq, it will only be two points, but if I shoot a three-pointer, I have a chance to get a three-pointer. And if I fail to make the shot, with Shaq's current position, I can easily get it.

to the second offensive rebound.

At this moment, I considered a lot of things at once, and then decisively took a three-point shot. It seemed that there was no problem with my choice.

With this three-pointer, the point difference between our Lakers and the SuperSonics was further widened.

This three-pointer has once again greatly improved the morale of our Lakers team. Perhaps it is because our overall morale is already quite good, so in the next few minutes, we basically pressed the super team on the court.

The Sonics are fighting, and they seem to have absolutely no power to fight back.

As the point difference has widened to more than ten points, the Sonics had to call a halt to the game. If this continues, I'm afraid the Sonics will soon fall into a huge dilemma. If they want to get back from being a few behind,

It will definitely be extremely difficult to recover under extreme circumstances, especially if it is at the home court of our Lakers team.

Shaq looked very proud, as if he had made the three-pointer, but I just spread my hands helplessly. Maybe I thought he had attracted Gary Payton's attention and gave me this opportunity. Let's shoot this three-pointer. It's normal for him to be a little proud.

The time of the game passed very quickly, much faster than I imagined. After a while, more than five minutes of the third quarter of the game had passed. Now I feel more and more that the time of the game is really passing by. It's too fast.

I used to feel that a game was really long, but now I feel more and more that time passes much faster than I imagined. Many times I don’t feel anything, but time has passed a lot.

At this time, the SuperSonics coach took the lead in calling a timeout. It just so happened that we could use this time to make some adjustments.

In the previous games, I would even use the two minutes of timeout to enter a state of meditation and talk to Kobe. But now I don’t seem to be in a good mood to talk to Kobe about these things. Maybe during the game After it's over, I will take some time to have another conversation with Kobe.

It seems that we haven't discussed the problems in my subconscious for a while, but to be honest, these things make me feel quite conflicted, because if I really spend so much time thinking about these problems, then the result will be It may be a very complicated situation.

In fact, what I want to do most now is not necessarily to understand my own life experience or the secrets hidden in my subconscious. Now I feel some inexplicable fear. This fear is not my fear of the unknown. Instead of being afraid of things I know, I am afraid of things I know, as if I am unwilling to understand the truth of some things from the bottom of my heart.

It's like when I really know these truths, I will definitely pay a certain price. This feeling is very strong, and sometimes it is even so strong that I can hardly imagine it.

However, this feeling generally just passed by in a flash and did not last for too long deep in my heart. Soon I began to re-examine my heart. Of course, I would have to wait until after the game to think about those things. .

Now the timeout is over again, but our starters have not left the game. After all, only five minutes have passed in the third quarter. Next, we have to carry out a crazy attack against the Sonics, trying to ensure a comparison in the third quarter. A big advantage, so that we can have more rest time in the fourth quarter.

Of course, when the game is too intense, you will be too focused on the court and ignore a lot of the overall situation. Therefore, the video of the game is very important at this time. You can watch the game through Use video to find some things that you overlooked during the game. Through your recollection of the scene at that time, and the confirmation of the game video, you can judge whether the response you made during the game was the most correct and reasonable. .

The reason why the opponent is crazy about Shaq is because a simple calculation shows that Shaq's free throw shooting rate is only about 50%, while Shaq's inside offensive shooting rate is more than 60%, or even higher. , so every time Shaq gets the ball in a very threatening area, the best way to defend him is to send him to the free throw line, because in this way he can only score 1 point per offense on average, but if he goes normally If you defend him, he will score an average of 1.2 points or more per attack. This is why when Spurs head coach Popovich invented the shark-cutting tactic, other teams in the league will follow suit. , mainly it’s easy to use.

In addition, the shark-cutting tactic can also effectively disrupt the offensive rhythm of our Lakers team and cut the originally smooth game into small pieces. This is originally a kind of torture for both sides of the game, but for the stronger team,

For our Lakers, this kind of psychological torture will be even greater, because we originally had the opportunity to take away the game in one wave, but now we can only be forced to slow down the pace of the game, which is likely to cause our players to be impatient.

mood.

In a basketball game, offense and defense have always been integrated, just like a warrior in ancient times holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. However, in a basketball game, offense and defense are separate. When you attack, the opponent defends.

, the opponent attacks when you defend, but in fact you can also think about defense when you attack, and attack when you defend.

If on a real battlefield, you only devote all your energy to attacking, then huge flaws will easily appear. Once your attack is resolved by your opponent, you will instantly fall into huge danger.

, the opponent is likely to directly take advantage of your weaknesses to seriously injure you.

The same is true on the basketball court. If all your energy is devoted to offense, then once your offense is not successful, it will be easy for your opponent to seize the opportunity to hit you with a defensive counterattack. In basketball games,

The fastest way to score points is undoubtedly defensive counterattack, because at this time the opponent does not have a complete defensive formation, and it is also easiest to find the opponent's defensive flaws to attack the opponent.

Therefore, a truly powerful team will be like a truly powerful warrior, integrating offense and defense. While attacking, it will also take into account defense, and while defending, it will also look for opportunities to attack. The situation on the basketball court changes rapidly.

, just like the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, you need to focus on one point at all times. Only in this way can you be able to deal with unexpected situations that may arise at any time.

Of course, sometimes the game relies on the courage to move forward, so you may not necessarily make the wisest and most correct decision, but after the game you can analyze these offensive rounds to repeatedly emphasize something to yourself.

, it can also slowly help you develop the ability to quickly find the best competition opportunities.

In the second half of the third quarter, the SuperSonics also started to launch some counterattacks against us, but these counterattacks were repelled by our substitutes. At the end of the third quarter, our Lakers still maintained

With an advantage of about fifteen points, this advantage can ensure that we gain enough advantages in the fourth quarter to win the game.

The fourth quarter of the game is about to start soon. Head coach Silver Fox Harris has made some targeted adjustments to the lineup. In fact, the main adjustments are in the matchup. It can be seen that

Come out, head coach Silver Fox Harris is still working very hard, and he is trying to become a top coach in the league.

Of course, this process is actually not that easy. Just like I want to be the most powerful star in the league, it doesn't mean that I can do it if I want to. It requires a lot of effort.

At the same time, it requires some other objective factors to work together before it can be completed. I am actually quite clear about this.

Our Lakers' arrangement is ahead of the SuperSonics, and at the same time, our score on the field is ahead of the SuperSonics. This puts us in a relatively advantageous situation and allows us to have greater room for choice.

When the game started in the fourth quarter, our Lakers still sent substitute players to play on the court. Our starting players actually did not need to return to the court too early to play, because now the fifteen-point difference.

For the Sonics, whose shooting percentage is not high, this is actually a pretty big point difference.

Their outside feeling was actually pretty good today, but their outside players had a big problem, that is, they were not confident enough. When they actually got a pretty good shot, they were unable to shoot in the first place.

As a result, we lost many good shooting opportunities, which gave us the opportunity to widen the point difference. However, after a game, you are often in a state of high tension. If you want to make every choice correctly,

It seems to be a very difficult thing, and this situation actually happens to many teams.

When facing an opponent who is stronger than yourself, you will have a certain amount of psychological pressure, which will cause you to perform abnormally. This situation will also happen to me. Of course, as your psychological quality improves, this situation will affect your performance.

Your influence will be reduced accordingly.

But generally speaking, these are things that are difficult to explain clearly.

After the start of the fourth quarter, our Lakers substitute players still maintained the advantage on the court. Eddie Jones and Byron Scott on the bench actually did not perform very well at the beginning of today's game.

However, as the game progressed, their performance actually got better and better, and by the fourth quarter they fully showed their form.

The Sonics didn't even replace the substitutes, but let the starting players return to the court early, because if the point difference cannot be narrowed slightly now, it will be difficult for them to play.

About ten minutes into the game, the Sonics finally used a small climax to bring the point difference back to within ten points. At this time, head coach Silver Fox Harris decisively called a timeout, and it seemed that the timeout was over.

After that, our starting players will return to the game.

Since the opponent did not take the starting players off the court, our Lakers starting players will definitely have more rest time than them. If we replace the starting players at this time, the opposing starting players will seem to have more rest time than them.

There was no chance to get off the court and rest.

The starting players of our team can gain a certain degree of physical advantage. In this level of competition, even a small physical advantage will often lead to a completely different direction in the game.

It has happened a lot of times in this season's games.

What we must do is to cherish the key points of every game and grasp these key moments. The entire game is often composed of many small game nodes.

When you can do these game points well, the whole game will become very easy.

In fact, it is the same when doing anything. Many seemingly impossible tasks and many seemingly very difficult things are actually composed of many small details. When you slowly accumulate these small details, eventually,

You can form the entire building that belongs to you.

This is undoubtedly very important.

During the timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris repeatedly emphasized defense and defensive counterattacks. For us, we now have a certain point difference advantage, but the nine-point point difference is obviously not enough for us to completely lay down the foundation.

Victory, so we need to give the Sonics the final fatal blow.

In fact, the easiest thing to do for this fatal blow is to promote the counterattack through defense, because it is easiest to score when defending and counterattacking.

A successful defensive counterattack in a basketball game is very morale-boosting, and if the opponent scores two points less and you score two points more, there is a full four-point difference between the two sides.

If you have several more successful defensive counterattacks like this in a game, the point difference between the two sides will be quickly widened. This is not only the fastest way to widen the point difference, but also the fastest way to recover points.

Poor approach.

Therefore, in this era of Chongshan defense, defensive counterattacks are very important. In the subsequent small ball era, defensive counterattacks seem to have become even more important, because in the subsequent small ball era, the number of three-pointers in counterattacks increased.

The overall game tempo has accelerated, so such defensive counterattacks are even more needed to gain easy scoring opportunities.

And all of this needs to be based on successful defense. If your team does not have a good defense, there will be no defensive counterattack. This is the most natural thing, and there is no way to change it.

.

After returning from the timeout, our Lakers starters also returned to the court. Shaq seemed very excited. It was time for him to kill everyone again. He had more rest time today, so in the fourth quarter

, Shaq still maintains a good physical reserve. For him, as long as he has physical fitness in the fourth quarter, he will have the capital to explode.

I personally prefer to explode in the second half. In the first three quarters, I was defended by Gary Payton. To be honest, the overall shooting percentage was not high, mainly in comparison with my previous performance this season.

In fact, my scoring efficiency this season has ranked quite high among outside players, and it is actually not that far behind Michael Jordan's shooting percentage. Of course, I don't think that my current strength is close to Michael Jordan.

I know this is mainly because Shaq bought more offensive space for our outside players in the paint.

So actually now I feel that Shaq is a very important link in our Lakers team. He is actually the cornerstone of our Lakers team on both offense and defense. Everything our Lakers team is now is based on his dominance.

of.

In any case, I have to admit this, but Shaq's dominance is sometimes unstable. Not when facing all players, Shaq's dominance can be displayed. Why do you say that?

Well, it's mainly because Shaq's dominance often has certain prerequisites, which depend on the playing style of many opponents.

Of course, in this era, as the older generation of super insiders age, Shaq's dominance at the center position has become more and more obvious, and there is simply no one among the new generation of inside players who can follow suit.

The player Shaq is comparing to, there is basically no other inside player who can at least reach his level of dominance.

So even though Shaq has certain shortcomings, it is enough for our current Lakers team. There are no more opponents who can solve this difficulty of Shaq.

In the next few minutes, our Lakers and SuperSonics also entered a stalemate on the court. No one could easily defeat the other. This was determined by many things.

It seems that the SuperSonics have become much more tenacious after entering the fourth quarter. In fact, they have been quite tenacious throughout the entire game. Our Lakers have closed the gap between the two sides many times in the process.

It widens to ten or even fifteen points, and when the point difference is about to reach twenty points, the opponent is always able to firmly hold on to the point difference.

We, the Lakers, were not allowed a chance to tenaciously widen the point difference, which resulted in us not being able to decide the outcome completely until the fourth quarter.

Now we are only a few points ahead of the Sonics. For NBA-level players, it is not impossible to bring back this few-point difference.

Many such miracles happen every day in the NBA, and it constantly happens that teams that take the lead end up losing the game.

However, as time gradually passed, the Sonics' point difference did not narrow further. In such a complete stalemate, it was more able to test the team's true overall strength.

Why do you say this? Because whether it is a downwind game or a headwind game, it is not the time to test the players' psychological quality the most. Only such alternating and staggered games can truly reflect the players' true psychological quality. At this time, if

If you cannot withstand the huge pressure, you will naturally not be able to gain a real upper hand in the competition with your opponents.

When dealing with a weak team, the opponent may be easily defeated by you, but truly strong teams can grow in adversity. Those strong teams in the playoffs all never give up.

Until the last moment of the game, no one knows who will win the final victory.

Soon the time of the fourth quarter has come to the last six minutes, and it is obvious that the main players of both sides will not have time to rest. In this case, the physical energy consumption of both sides is very high.

If you can't grit your teeth and persevere, your efforts throughout the game may be in vain.

Especially for us as the Lakers, it is impossible to accept the outcome of leading the game and ultimately losing. We will definitely do our best to get this victory.

That's what happened. Both of us started working hard for every ball on the court, defending hard, running hard, and attacking hard. No one wanted to be the reason for the team's loss.

It wasn't until the last moment of the fourth quarter that the tension between the two sides was completely ignited, and the passionate collision on the court was completely ignited.
