Chapter 350 St. Paul's Angry Again(2/2)
Tyson Chandler is actually very good, a top blue-collar guy.
But he's not what Howard is after.
He wants Chris Paul to give him the ball.
Paul was given a headache by him: I was fooled just now, you want the ball, you are deliberately embarrassing me.
But for the sake of team unity, he still passed the basketball to Howard.
Howard also learned his dream moves from Olajuwon, but...his tuition fees were basically in vain.
Howard's inside steps are ordinary. He usually relies on his strong upper body strength to force his opponent away, and then throws the basketball into the basket.
However, what he met was Kwame Brown.
Kwame Brown is also the top pick in high school. Although he has been criticized as a parallel import in the past, no one has ever denied his physical fitness.
Flexible, strong and fast.
These are Kwame Brown’s strengths.
Howard bumped twice but didn't get away. He took a step forward and made a half circle. As soon as he made a throw, a figure floated over... Bang!
The old Hill made another miracle, slapping the basketball onto the backboard, rebounding, and was easily picked up by Kwame Brown.
He quickly handed the basketball to Stephen Nash. Nash ran wildly with the ball, and the old chasing boy was still cool.
And the cooperation between him and Fan Xi was very smooth. When Fan Xi reversed and found space, he quickly passed the ball over, and Fan Xi caught the ball and shot... Whoops!
Three point hit.
Scoring is that simple.
Matt Barnes looked at Fanshi helplessly. He had no choice at all just now. If he chased and defended Fanshi, Fanshi would definitely pass the basketball to Grant Hill, and Hill would take advantage of the situation to complete a layup or dunk.
.
D'Antoni sat on the bench. He couldn't figure out why the Clippers were so smooth and why he and the Lakers were so talented but had such a difficult time.
He is indeed the top offensive coach in the league.
Chris Paul also deserved to be named the league's No. 1 point guard during his peak period.
There is no doubt that Howard is the number one center in the league.
But the cruel fact is: they have never proven themselves in the top competition.
D'Antoni had never played in the Finals before joining the Lakers.
Chris Paul had never even touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals before joining the Lakers.
Howard did make it to the Finals, but most of the credit should be attributed to Van Gundy and the pattern of the Eastern Conference that year. Moreover, he was defeated by Kobe in the Finals and was helpless.
In other words, three losers who have never proven themselves, although they seem to have attractive talents and have abundant natural resources on their books.
However, they are still not good enough to prove themselves in such a top and cruel competition.
Although the Clippers appear to be relatively weak, they are rich in experience, their young people are full of resilience and tenacity, and Fanci is a standard winner.
The moment Kobe was put in a cast, Fanci had already eaten up the game.
Therefore, no matter how confident Chris Paul said before the game, Fan Xi would say calmly: It doesn't matter, and neither do you.
In this game, Chris Paul will score the most beautiful statistics of his career in the playoffs, the most perfect high-level statistics, and he will even be called an honorable loser. However, he will not be able to win.
The game continues.
Chris Paul and Pau Gasol played a cooperative game. Gasol used his flexible steps to get into the paint, but after he finished his first fake move, Kwame Brown had already swooped up and forced the basketball away from him.
Take it from your hand.
Kwame is very vicious.
Pau Gasol is helpless.
Magic Johnson, sitting behind the Lakers bench, finally had a realization at this moment.
The Lakers' ability to win three consecutive championships in the past three years did not rely on these championship puzzle pieces. They relied on Kobe Bryant's tenacious fighting spirit. He was like a villain with a long whip. Although he was notorious and inefficient,
But without him to fight the bad fight, without him to drag the game into the meat grinder, we can't win the game just by relying on these flowers.
The overall feeling last year was that Fanci won the game. Fanci is a player who truly possesses Kobe’s blood-fighting spirit. He is among the winners.
There will be many top superstars in the NBA, but there are very few people who are born with winning genes. These people will infiltrate their thinking into all aspects of the game. Maybe he has shortcomings of one kind or another, maybe he is not even a team player
The first attacker, but as long as he is there, the team's foundation will be solidified.
Magic once again fell into regret. He was thinking how brilliant the Lakers' history would have been if Van Hey had not been traded. Four consecutive championships, five consecutive championships, and six consecutive championships are all opportunities, right?
Magic Johnson couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of this. He stared blankly at the championship flag flying above his head for a few seconds, and then he shook his head sadly.
This scene was broadcast to TV sets around the world via ESPN footage, and all fans who support the Lakers tasted the same loss and regret in this scene.
Everyone knows that the Lakers are finished tonight.
But ESPN's Mike Breen is still bragging, praising Paul and Howard, claiming that they will definitely save the best result tonight.
Whoosh!
Stephen Nash assisted Nowitzki on a jumper.
The score difference widened further.
Fan Xi did not compete with Paul in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Stephen Nash, the former first point guard, even tended to overpower the first point guard St. Paul.
Is this humiliating me again?
St. Paul was angry again.
He was so angry that his eyes could even spit out fire.
Chapter completed!
