Chapter 332

Facing the Bulls youth army, the Celtics without Garnett, and the Cavaliers who are not good at the inside, Philadelphia has swept them. Basically, they have not encountered any difficulties. They just use their strength to crush them. Compared with them, Philadelphia is stronger team.

But when meeting the Lakers, the crushing advantage has become [-]-[-], and you can win if you play normally. It has become a test of on-the-spot response and on-court status.

Cheeks thought about it and made a decision.

He let Battier and Kyle Lowry stare at Ariza and Fisher all the time, gave up the shrinking double-team on the inside, and fully controlled the three-point line.

There is a basis for making this decision. Although the Lakers have always had a tradition of strong centers, the Lakers have very good outside shooters, whether it was the Shaquille O'Neal period or the current Gasol Bynum Twin Towers period.

Robert Hawley and Derek Fisher are both killers with a big heart in the Lakers. Although Ariza is a defensive engineer, his three-point shooting percentage at the beginning of his career cannot be underestimated.

Coach Cheeks would rather lose two points than lose three.

"Let them play, they have Kobe Gasol, we also have Channing Yao Ming!"

Coach Cheeks gave his command, and he was right.

The Lakers have always been an overall team with excellent passing ability. Coach Phil Jackson deliberately kept at least two pitchers on the field, also to make a fuss outside the three-point line.

However, after Kobe picked and rolled, he found that the opponent had no idea of ​​flanking. Gasol received the ball and saw that Fisher and others were always followed by defenders.

There was no chance from the outside line. The Lakers' offensive focus was entirely on Kobe and the two inside players. They relied on simple pick-and-roll cooperation to score consecutively, which was completely different from Kobe's difficult singles in the first game.

The Philadelphia team's offense was also adjusted accordingly. Yao Ming and Channing also started pick-and-roll earlier.

Similar players, similar tactics, the two teams were biting the score from the beginning of the second game, and it was the same until the fourth quarter, and the point difference was never widened.

"It was a wonderful battle. The two sides are very similar in terms of players and tactics. Both teams have maintained a high defensive intensity, and at the same time have a good offensive efficiency. They are indeed two evenly matched opponents in the finals! "

Barkley looked very happy.

Smith also added: "With the last 3 minutes left in the game, whoever can insist on not making mistakes and whoever has the strongest execution at critical moments will be the winner tonight."

Both sides sent out starting lineups. Since the game was too intense tonight, Yao Ming's playing time has also increased significantly. He has played for 32 minutes, and his physical strength has shown signs of decline. After playing, he failed to play two consecutive basket attacks become.

Beads of sweat appeared on Coach Cheeks' forehead. At this time, he absolutely did not dare to let Yao Ming off the court to rest. Once Yao Ming was off the court, Philadelphia would only have Channing as his own point of attack. This caused the Philadelphia offense to be constipated. Therefore, knowing that Dayao's physical strength had problems, Cheeks still had this only way to go.

After Gasol's strong attack succeeded, the Lakers have already achieved a 5-point lead. It seems that the balance of victory is slowly tilting towards the Lakers.

Channing won't let that happen, though.

He called Yao Ming for a pick-and-roll again. When Yao's physical strength declined, he stayed where he was after the pick-and-roll, and didn't choose to attack down.

The responsibility for the offense fell entirely on Channing. He moved sideways, faced Gasol's long arm that was defending him, pulled it up decisively, and hit a three-pointer!

Dayao blocked Kobe to death. Although Gasol was very flexible, his legs and feet were still too slow when he met Channing.

Gasol alone cannot switch to Channing. After Kobe made two free throws, Channing and Yao Ming picked and rolled again. In the same way, in the same position, he faced Gasol for the second time and hit a three-pointer. !

The point difference narrowed to one point, Gasol turned around and hit the iron with a hook, Ibaka protected the rebound, and in the last minute, Philadelphia's chance came.

"Flanker! Flank!"

Phil Jackson yelled, Channing suddenly found the outside touch at the critical moment, and fired consecutive three-pointers, which made the Lakers insist on changing the defensive tactics of not flanking the flanks all night.

Channing Yao Ming's pick and roll, this time Ariza retracted sideways to help Gasol delay Channing.

Forced three-pointers against two defenders?

Or choose to pass?

This is a century-old problem, and each star's choice is different.

Michael Jordan had a wonderful moment when he assisted Cole to make a three-pointer, and Kobe also had a moment when he drifted and made a three-pointer alone!

In this choice reluctantly, maybe James will hesitate, but Channing will not.

brush!

Channing chose to pass the ball.

The basketball flew over Ariza's fingertips and into Battier's hands.

Battier catches the ball, jumps, and shoots.

brush!

Hollow into the network!

Pap Rainbow!

Go-ahead two points!

The home fans were boiling, and the game was anxious all night, and Channing finally stood up at the critical moment.

"Two three-pointers, one assist for Battier's corner three-pointer, Channing helped the Philadelphia team score nine points in a row! Such a three-pointer firepower, such an explosive score, I, Barkley, unilaterally announced that Channing was in In my heart, I am a superstar at the same level as Kobe!"

"There are 33 seconds left in the game. In theory, both sides have at least one offensive opportunity. Let's see how these two great teams will perform!"

The voices of Barkley and Smith trembled with excitement.

The Lakers served the ball, and the Philadelphia team quickly retreated after failing to steal the ball. Coach Cheeks ordered that there is no need to use foul tactics, just defend normally.

Kobe spent time dribbling alone at the top of the arc, and Channing defended independently.

"Will Kobe be singled out? He hardly singled out tonight."

"Or the pick-and-roll?"

In the last five seconds, Gasol moved, and Bryant followed suit.

Gasol blocked Channing, Yao Ming slowed down, Kobe pulled up decisively, and hit a three-pointer!

The Lakers went ahead by 1 point, and with 11 seconds left in the game, Coach Cheeks requested a timeout.

Dayao shook his hand, looking a little annoyed. Tonight's game was too tense, causing Dayao's playing time to be close to 38 minutes, which affected Dayao's performance at the critical moment.

"If I'm faster, maybe, maybe, I can block it, or at least interfere with him!"

Qian Ning patted Yao Ming's chest, cheering up the big man:

"Brother Yao, the game is not over yet, forget everything before, we have to look forward, the last 11 seconds, this is the chance that God left for us to kill!"
