Chapter 109 The Enemy Meets Extraordinarily Envy
The Kings still followed the league's arrangement, and with the help of the referee, they lost the sixth game aggrievedly.
On June 6, Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, a really exciting game, the referee let go.
The score between the two sides has been clenched tightly and the point difference has been rising alternately. The regular time was tied at 100 and the winner was not determined until overtime. The Kings did not withstand the pressure. In the first half of overtime, Chris Webber lost his mentality.
The league got the desired result. The most exciting Western Conference Finals series in history reached the tiebreaker and overtime. Both tickets and ratings made a lot of money.
On June 6, the Lakers, who had just rested for two days, had to travel across the entire United States, flying from Los Angeles on the west coast to New York on the east coast, to compete with the Knicks, who had been resting for almost a week.
The New York Knicks set up the strongest lineup to meet the enemy:
Point Guard: Billups
Shooting guard: Zhao Ke
Small Forward: Artest
Power Forward: Rasheed Wallace
Center: Ben Wallace
Patrick Ewing sat quietly on the bench. He gave up the glory of starting the finals to Ben. He didn't want to drag the team down because of his own reasons at the beginning. In the last season of his career, success or failure depends on it.
The Lakers followed the lineup that beat the Kings:
Point Guard: Fisher
Shooting guard: Kobe
Small Forward: Fox
Power Forward: Robert Horry
Center: O'Neal
Fisher is a playoff player. In the regular season, he was robbed of 30 starts by "Ginger" Lynch Hunter, but with his stable performance in the playoffs, "Ginger" has been boring on the bench.
The Lakers are annoyed when they see Zhao Ke now, which ruined their three consecutive championships.
Especially Kobe, when he saw Zhao Ke, his blood pressure jumped up. The humiliation Zhao Ke gave him in the game on February 2 was still vivid in his memory.
Kobe thinks the Lakers are extremely strong now, are the Sacramento Kings fierce?
The first record in the league, the offense is like mercury, and the gorgeousness is impossible to defend. The Lakers can only fight with them on offense, but such a powerful team is now at the feet of the Lakers.It can only show that the Lakers are more fierce!
When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous. Kobe suppressed the anger in his eyes and the arrogance in his heart, and walked up to Zhao Ke and spoke harshly.
However, in terms of cheap talk, he is no match for Zhao Ke.
Before Kobe could speak, Zhao Ke yelled at O'Neill in the distance: "Shaq! Take care of your dog! If it barks at me, I'll just kick it in the mouth!"
O'Neill ignored him, and Fisher hurried over and pulled Kobe back who was trembling with anger and unable to speak. The man across from him was a humanoid mammoth who knew kung fu, and it was said that he would die if he kicked him!
Referring to the unjust, false and wrong case between the Kings and the Lakers, and adding the influence factor of Zhao Ke, a troublemaker, at the Knicks pre-game analysis meeting, Tom Thibodeau told everyone a cruel analysis result: the league probably does not want the Knicks to win the championship, but the league hopes that the Knicks will be defeated by the Lakers 3:4.
Therefore, it is best for the Knicks to take advantage of the unclear situation and the referee's ruthlessness, win two home games first, and take the lead in their own hands.
So at the beginning of today, the Knicks put on the strongest lineup.
When jumping the ball, Ben Wallace was also strong enough, and he got the ball over O'Neal.Taking advantage of the unstable formation of the Lakers, the Knicks ran an elevator door first.
This time, the opportunity came from Rasheed Wallace, 45° to the right of the three-point line. Rasheed Wallace took off lightly, and shot the arrow straight to the red heart!
The Knicks took the lead and scored a three-pointer!
Fisher began to organize the offense patiently, and their first goal was bound to be handed over to O'Neill, but O'Neill couldn't get into the three-second zone. Ben Wallace was like a heavy anchor, firmly holding O'Neill, a fierce battleship, out of the three-second zone.And Rasheed Wallace, who just scored, was watching from the sidelines, ready to go around and defend O'Neal at any time.
Fisher passed the ball to Kobe. Although Kobe's situation is not very good and Zhao Ke's defense is also tight, he can still receive the ball.
Kobe didn't pour the ball again, facing Zhao Ke's defense, Kobe chose to pass this hateful kid!
Kobe changed direction with his left crotch, pretending to break through to the right, and then pulled back with another change of direction with his crotch. Zhao Ke didn't get hit, and he faced him face to face, and looked at him jokingly without reaching out for the ball.
Zhao Ke's defensive awareness can keep up now, and ordinary fake moves can't fool him.
Kobe made it more difficult. This time, he changed direction in his crotch, followed by a change of hands behind his back, and made a fallback jumper before Zhao Ke could react!
Zhao Ke was also planning to block Kobe's breakthrough route, but all of Kobe's moves were fake, he was no match for a jump shot!
The deceived Zhao Ke took off slowly, and watched Kobe make a small-angle fadeaway jumper, but the opening shot was too cold, and the ball hit the iron.
O'Neal got the rebound, turned around and hit Daben with a big move. Daben's height disadvantage was too obvious, and he was dunked by O'Neal.
O'Neill yelled at Big Ben: "Do you think you can guard against me? You are still far away!"
The frustration that he couldn't squeeze into the three-second zone just now has not passed. The static strength can hold O'Neill for a while, but O'Neill rushes like a bulldozer, and no one can prevent it.
When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Billups dribbled the ball just after half court, saw that there was no one around Rasheed Wallace, and immediately sent a long pass to him.
But this pass was too straight and the intention was too obvious, which was seen through by Xiaoyu.He stole the basketball halfway, didn't stop a step, and went straight to the fast break!
Rasheed Wallace was going to catch the ball, but when he saw Xiaoyu's evil behavior, he immediately chased after him desperately.
On the Lakers side, Kobe and Fox also rushed out.
Xiaoyu was at the forefront, followed by Rasheed Wallace, and Kobe and Fox outflanked from left to right.
If Xiaoyu passes the ball to Kobe or Fox, three-on-one in the frontcourt, and Rasheed Wallace can't do it alone, the success rate will be higher.But he ran so fast that he couldn't grasp the ball steadily, so he dared to pass the ball, don't pass it into Rasheed Wallace's arms!
So the attacking fish didn't pass the ball and could only make a layup. As soon as the ball was released, it was pressed to the backboard by Rasheed Wallace with a peg cap.
Rasheed Wallace got the basketball and threw it directly at Zhao Ke who was standing near the center line. The only Lakers who did not participate in the fast break were O'Neal and Robert Horry.
Facing Huo Li who was rushing towards him with all his teeth and claws, Zhao Ke easily passed him with a change of direction on his crotch, and then raised his hand from beyond the three-point line to shoot!
O'Neal squeezed away Ben Wallace to get the defensive rebound, but Zhao Ke didn't give him a chance, and he made a three-pointer!
6:2, the game has just passed 43 seconds, will this be a high-scoring game?
