Chapter 493: Speed of 120 seconds! Whistle lore!
With the end of the small dispute, Lin Long finally walked to the free throw line smoothly. After he raised his hand and easily hit the free throw, the difference between the two sides narrowed again, only 2 points left!
Although the time has come to the last 2 minutes, the suspense of the game has completely risen! No one can guess what kind of script the next game will have!
Bryant dribbled forward slowly, he waved at the inside.
O'Neal, who was still working closely with Kobe Bryant, immediately greeted him and gave Kobe a cover.
With the help of the screen, Kobe quickly changed direction and rushed towards the basket. O'Neal also asked for the ball from the other side and hit the basket.
Lin Long and Rasheed were on the left and one on the other, one watched Kobe and the other followed O'Neal. They didn't lose their positions at all and didn't give these two guys a chance to easily play together.
Kobe Bryant saw that Lin Long's height and arm length blocked a lot of his sight and passing routes, so he could only shout out in desperation:
"Shaq! Basketball!
Then forcefully took off and threw the basketball out!
This ball, Kobe is obviously not going to the basket!
His purpose is to hit the rebound. He believes that Lin Long is attracted by himself outside the 3-second zone, and he will never be able to grab the rebound in the opposite direction!
As for O'Neal, if he can't grab Rasheed, he doesn't deserve to be called a big shark!
Sure enough, O'Neal did not disappoint Kobe, he pressed Rasheed to force a jump, took off the backboard on his head, and then forcibly changed directions in the air, smashing the basketball into the basket with both hands!
"Boom!""
After a loud bang, O'Neal made a dunk! The Lakers pulled the score to 4 points again!
The Celtics' offense was Lin Long again. After he broke through, he attracted the help defense and gave the ball to Billups. This big heart shooter calmly shot and hit the 3-pointer!
The difference is back to 1 point again!
Looking back, Kobe beat Lin Long again.
Deliberately sold a flaw in the middle distance, which attracted Lewis to come to help defense, and then threw the ball out. Horry who was missed did not hesitate to pull up a 3-pointer, and the 3-pointer hit the basket with precision again!
It's time to enter the last minute!
Lin Long held the basketball. This time, he didn't stop at all. He accelerated from the backcourt, pushed all the way, and took advantage of the Lakers' unsteady footing. He went to the basket and faced the double defense of Kobe and Fox. It was a backhand layup. 2 points hit again!
In this offense, Lin Long went from catch to layup in just 5 seconds!
The Lakers pressed down the rhythm at this time, and only handed the ball to O'Neal in the last 7 seconds. O'Neal opened the way with a pair of elbows, forcibly ran over Rasheed and succeeded again with a dunk!
The last 33 seconds!
This time Kobe frantically entangled Lin Long and didn't let him hold the ball. After Lin Long ran continuously to no avail, the basketball could only be sent to Billups. Billups didn't dare to get the basketball. Stopped, pushed all the way to the Lakers' half before suddenly abruptly braked, and then handed the ball to Lin Long who ran from the backcourt for the first time.
Even if he didn't get rid of Kobe at all, Kobe was still by his side, Lin Long didn't hesitate to shoot!
This ball is only 2 meters away from the center circle! It's a 3-pointer from a long distance!
"Huh 々 々!"
Lin Long's 3-pointer hits again!
In the last 26 seconds, the Lakers lead by only one point!
"No foul! No foul! No foul! Lin Long opened his mouth and yelled, "Fuck it! Force me down! 35
The five Celtics immediately counterattacked on the spot, forcing the Lakers to prevent them from easily sending the baseline ball. Fortunately, Miller, who served the ball, was very experienced. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, he simply called the last of the team. Pause for a breather!
After the timeout came back, the person serving the ball became Horry, who waited for his teammates to move on the sideline. After a series of complicated moves and screens, Miller finally broke through the siege and received the ball for the last attack. !
Miller has no intention of attacking the ball at all. He watches the time and waits for the opponent's reaction!
If he doesn't foul, he will drag it to the last moment. If he fouls, Miller's 95% free throw rate in the playoffs is equivalent to the Celtics giving him 2 points for free!
Under Lin Long's order, the Celtics did not choose to commit a foul.
Instead, Bowen rushed up quickly, and Team Miller started a close defense!
Bowen's defensive intensity was extremely strong, and his entire body was almost attached to Miller's body. An opponent tried every means to reach forward, trying to knock out the basketball in Miller's hands, but he had never been able to find an opportunity.
Under Bowen's siege, Miller unknowingly moved the basketball closer to the sideline. Kobe and Jake Xu yelled anxiously, asking him to pay attention to his position, but when Miller found out, Everything is too late!
Billups rushed out of nowhere!
From behind, a basketball that held Miller in his arms flew into the air and jumped into the air. Then Billups took advantage of the situation and the basketball immediately flew towards the center line!
Lin Long and Kobe Bryant have been watching the ownership of the ball for a long time. After Billups shot, the two immediately charged at the same time and rushed towards the basketball.
In the end, it was still Lin Long's height and wingspan that took advantage of him. He took the lead to shoot the basketball high, and then jumped high and took the basketball into his arms!
There are only 7 seconds left!
Lin Long waved his hand at Bird, indicating not to pause, then dribbled the ball forward and rushed forward. Although Kobe failed to grab the basketball, he still stuck close to Lin Long and maintained his defensive position. In front of Lin Long.
Kobe's life-threatening close contact made Lin Long unable to easily add up his speed. He could only keep changing the rhythm, and the basketball in his hand kept changing direction in a small amount in front of him, trying to find flaws in Kobe's defense.
In 4 seconds, Lin Long has come to the Lakers' 3-point line. Because of Kobe's deadly bite and entanglement, Lin Long's advancing speed is not fast. The Lakers players have all returned to the defense. Under the command of Jake Xu, Fox and Horry have already rushed in the direction of (Wang Zhaozhao) Lin Long, and they want to give Lin Long a 3-person team!
In 3 seconds, Lin Long knew that the longer he dragged the ball, the less chance he had. He changed the direction of the dribble again, handed the basketball from his left hand to his right hand, and then suddenly started to speed again, and did not rush to the inside line. There were two people, Shaquille O'Neal and Horry. Waiting for Lin Long!
Lin Long stepped on the free throw line and moved laterally from the left to the end of the right side of the free throw line, and Fox's double team finally arrived!
Facing the defense of the two, Lin Long no longer hesitated, nor did he have the slightest fear!
Just pull it straight up!
Kobe and Fox in front of him stretched their arms as much as possible, trying to interfere and block Lin Long's shot.
In the face of double-teaming, Lin Long maintains perfection in both body and hand shape!
With a gentle movement of the wrist, the basketball will come out!
"々․Shoo!
With a crisp sound, the basketball entered the net with the sound of the buzzer!
