Chapter 346 The Son of Miracle Reappears(2/2)
The Clippers' touch is relatively slow, and they still rely on Fan Xi to get to the basket to create damage.
In the second half of the first quarter, Nowitzki found his touch.
But at this time, the Lakers' defense has entered a smooth and comfortable rhythm.
Both sides maintained a balance of power and moved forward.
After the first quarter, the Lakers led by 6 points.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers led by 7 points.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led by 3 points.
We soon entered the fourth quarter.
The Clippers once tied the point difference, relying on Nowitzki and Fanci's strong attack, as well as Leonard's output.
And at a critical moment.
Kobe Bryant, wearing black gloves, was finally exposed. He hit two three-pointers from the left and right corners to help the Lakers build an advantage.
But at the same time, Fanshie is absolutely sure that Kobe Bryant, who has little desire to attack tonight, has been injured.
Because Kobe completed the two offenses with his left hand.
Fanci immediately arranged for Leonard to guard Paul while he stared at Kobe.
Leonard's defense is undoubtedly better than Fanci's.
Fan Xi stared at Kobe, and Kobe couldn't hide. He didn't expect Fan Xi to see through his injury so quickly.
Leonard's entanglement tonight made him sweat profusely. During the confrontation, his right hand became increasingly unable to exert force, and his shots were deformed.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lakers couldn't open up the situation, he would never try to shoot with his left hand.
Fortunately, the Lakers should be able to win this game.
Kobe thought so.
The Lakers have maintained their lead.
When the Clippers requested a timeout with 1 minute left in the game, the Lakers led by just 10 points at 85:75.
In the last game, Magic Johnson said in front of the media that the best way to stop Fanci from showing off his power at critical moments is to lead by 10 points with one minute before the end of the game.
Now, it's all said and done.
TNT commentator Kenny Smith shouted on TV: "Magic Johnson should be very nervous now, right? If Jack Fan really counterattacks the Lakers at the last moment, will he slap himself twice and regret saying such things in the last game?"
?”
When Kenny said this, the camera just showed Magic behind the Lakers bench.
The magician looked unfazed.
He looked very calm.
But his heart was in turmoil, and he was thinking: Don't make a comeback. If there was a comeback, and the Lakers fell behind 1:3, they would really have no chance.
"Jack is not a god. The pace of the game tonight is so slow. Both sides are betting on defense. Jack has no chance to complete a 10-point counterattack in one minute."
Earl Johnson vowed that he was very decisive: "As long as the Lakers consume one offense or hit a shot, they will win!!"
Yes, in theory, that's it.
Lead by 10 points in the last minute. Many teams will even give up the game at this time and declare garbage time.
That is to say, in the playoffs, the two sides will fight hard.
However, the leading side can maintain the victory by pressing the rhythm and delaying time.
"Chris."
On the bench, Kobe raised his head. He suddenly patted Paul's knee hard next to him. This was a heavy pressure. He said to Paul: "If we win this game tonight, we can win this series.
You have to control the rhythm well, this is what you are best at."
"Believe in yourself, you are the number one point guard and no one can stop you."
Kobe encouraged Paul.
He really has completely handed the game over to Paul.
Because he found that his right hand was so swollen that even dribbling was a little sluggish, and his sense of the ball was no longer clear.
The Lakers need Paul.
He had great expectations for Paul.
He thought Paul could do it.
However, he was worried about Fan Xi.
Fanci is a player who can always create miracles. When Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum were injured one after another last season, everyone thought that the Lakers had lost hope in front of the Big Three. But in the end, Fanci defeated the Heat.
A fatal blow was completed in front of James.
Paul nodded vigorously, his expression resolute.
Tonight is his masterpiece in the playoffs. He has scored 32 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds and 3 steals tonight, one step away from a triple-double.
If he wins again, Paul will regard it as the best game of his career.
Because he played really well.
…
"I need a screen and I need to quickly complete a three-point shot. This will determine our counterattack."
Fanci told his teammates and coaching staff firmly on the bench.
Previously, Mike Brown had suggested letting Nowitzki or Stephen Nash perform this shot because their three-point shooting percentage is higher.
But Fan Xi refused with her eyes.
He doesn't want to take advantage of others. Moreover, he has full confidence in himself.
His blood was boiling, and his heart was beating faster and faster.
Fan Xi is like this, he is a fanatical player, and the more critical the moment, the crazier he gets.
But his thinking became calmer and calmer.
He clearly stated that he would first steal a three-pointer, then double-team Paul, forcing Paul to pass the ball to Kobe, then steal the basketball away from Kobe, and then shoot a three-pointer...
Fan Xi had a clear plan. In his eyes, the 10-point difference was like the answer to an equation. His final answer was 11 points.
Fan Xi's idea was fully recognized.
The head coach couldn't think of more detailed steps. Although he knew that the court plan was not as good as changes, at the critical moment, it was the rule to hand the ball to the absolute core.
The rule is to let the superstars settle the fight.
Otherwise, how can one be called a superstar?
Pippen has never been considered a superstar in his life, not because at the critical moment, Phil Jackson would rather hand the basketball to Kukoc than to him.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
The final countdown.
Chapter completed!
