Chapter Three hundred and ninety-eight
In the second half of the game, the starting lineup of both sides remained unchanged in the first half, and everyone could see the flames and excitement in the eyes of the 10 players on the field.
Smith reassured: "At least from the eyes and body language, the Lakers were not defeated by Lin Long's late first half combo, they still have the confidence to win the game! In the second half, it seemed that Will not easily enter garbage time! 55
Kenny said: "The Lakers sent the bottom line! Let's see what kind of second half the two sides will bring us!"
Fisher was slowly carrying the basketball. He didn't rush to hand the ball to the stars, but asked for a screen from O'Neal at the first time, and then rushed directly into the inside. Facing Big Ben's help defense, Fisher. Er was not in a hurry at all, but made a quick score and gave the ball to Horry on the side.
Horry kept the ball in his hands, passed it again, and directly guided the ball to Kobe who was on the bottom line.
This time, it was Pippen who cut to the inside, and the help defense of Rashid with both hands was a forced layup.
With a "swoosh", Pippen scored two points, opening the scoring for the second half!
This ball, the Lakers played nothing like the Lakers at all!
No extra dribble, no superstar singles, everyone touches the basketball, and everyone contributes to the goal!
That's what Phil Jackson asked for in midfield!
Do not play hero balls and giant stars, use strong personal ability and ability to attract defense, find space and opportunities for everyone on the team, and let everyone integrate into the team's offense!
Phil Jackson believes that only by letting these superstars do what they usually don't want to do.
Let them do the things they usually disdain to do, in order to win tonight's victory!
Not only on the offensive end, but the Lakers' changes on the defensive end surprised everyone.
Their defense has gone up a level again. It's not that the Lakers' defense didn't work hard before, but that everyone's mentality has changed. Lupus or Sprewell go to the same pick-and-roll to get an easy opportunity.
Pippen also started to fight for the floor ball and those 50-50 chances, not letting go of every possible shot, whether he played against Lin Long or Sprewell, Pippen took out his only 20. Bloody and desperate when you are in your early years.
Not to mention Kobe, who has always been known for his hard work and ferocity, his confrontation with Lin Long completely turned into a hand-to-hand fight. The two were tightly attached to each other, as if they were a pair of conjoined twins that would not be separated for a moment. Various small movements in the process, including but not limited to elbows, knees, pushing, pinching and scratching.
The confrontation between the two has completely turned into a textbook on how to keep fouling without letting the referee catch it!
The Lakers' sudden change of play style made it difficult for the Celtics to adapt for a while, and both offensive and defensive ends seemed a little intimidating. Was pulled to between 7-8 points.
Four minutes into the third quarter, Bird called the first timeout of the second half.
He saw that something was wrong on the field, and the Celtics were completely suppressed by the Lakers in terms of momentum.
Back on the bench, Bird looked at the gasping players and knew that they were not relaxing or not working hard, but the intensity given by the Lakers was too great. This sudden increase in intensity made everyone's Physical strength is somewhat overdrawn in advance.
Just when Bird was still thinking about how to cheer up the players, Lin Long took the lead and said: "The Lakers are already dying, guys, don't you see it? The Lakers are dying 々々!"
"It's not going all out in the traditional sense, it's that each of them has shown determination and form that they can't usually show! They gave 120% of the level! I'm not saying that you don't play well or don't work hard. , I can see that we also contributed 100%.
"But it's not enough! It's not enough! Guys, I know what you're thinking. Even if we lose this game, we've got 2 more match points, don't we? It doesn't matter if we lose, it doesn't even matter if we lose in the end, we And two Boston home games.35
"Honestly, if we're just an ordinary team, if we're just a mediocre championship team, this kind of thinking and approach is understandable and understandable. But, are we that kind of team? We're just An ordinary championship team? Is it a Pistons Bad Boys, a 2 consecutive championship team at the level of the Rockets in 1994-95?
Of course we are not that kind of team! We are a super team with 74 wins! We are a super team with 14 consecutive wins in the playoffs! Our goal is to be the No. 1 dynasty in NBA history, No. 1 in NBA history Team! We want a true dynasty-level team with three consecutive championships, four consecutive championships, and so on!”
"At this level, guys, you've done a terrible job! Yes, terrible! If you're willing to be mediocre, and you're willing to win championships, get big contracts, and make it to the All-Star Game, that's enough to pay for it. That's enough! But I'm not enough! I'm not satisfied with that! My goal is to be like Jordan, Kareem, Johnson, Bill Russell!"
"Well, and of course our dear coach.
"I also hope that your goal is to be someone like Bob Cousy, Havlicek, Robert Parish, Bill Sharman, Scott Pippen!
"That's all I have to say, if you all have the same ambitions and dreams as me, if you are like me and want to be truly great, after the pause, let the people of Los Angeles know how good we are! Sweep, we have to sweep! They, too, must be swept away by us!
Lin Long's remarks made every Celtic team member full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm!
There was a flame in everyone's eyes.
"々.FUXX! Fuck the Lakers, I will tear them apart!" Billups stood up first, expressing his confidence.
"SHIT! Then do it! I want to become the greatest power forward in NBA history!" Rasheed Wallace stood up second.
Then, Big Ben, Sprewell, Barkley, Curry and others, everyone shouted the deepest cry in their hearts.
When the players from both sides returned to the court again, all the fans saw the difference.
From the first round, Lin Long and Kobe kept hitting each other with their elbows. You and I hit each other 3 times. Lin Long rushed out to get the basketball. He kept pinching on Lin Long's waist, not giving him a chance to shoot easily.
(Li Li's) Lin Long's knee also found an opportunity.
A heavy blow came on Kobe's thigh, causing Kobe to grin in pain, and the air-conditioning slapped.
In the end, Lin Long finally got a chance to make a shot and made a fadeaway jumper.
Just as Lin Long shot, O'Neal and Big Ben also started a fight at the basket.
Do not.
The card position was also started, and the two of them almost punched each other's head directly to grab a favorable position for rebounding.
In the end, although O'Neal succeeded in keeping Big Ben behind by virtue of his size and strength, Lin Long's shot entered the basket accurately and did not give O'Neal a chance to grab a rebound.
Then there was Fisher's dribble being taken out by Billups.
Then the two of them jumped out at the same time, and you were fighting for the last ticket to Noah's Ark.
In the end, neither of them could control the basketball.
But after all, in the backcourt of the Lakers, Pippen, who felt it in time, took the basketball and finally controlled the basketball past half court.
