Chapter 369 Karl Malone: I'm not cowardly, just a little scared!
In the fourth quarter, Lin Long and others rested off the court as usual, and Barkley led the team to play the first part of the fourth quarter on the court.
But at this time, Jackson suddenly changed his tactics again. He did not let Malone rest, and put two equally tall inside players Campbell and Horry at the same time, plus 195 cm Derek Harper and 198 cm Kobe Bryant. For the back line, Jackson came up with a set of five lineups!
The defense of this lineup shrunk very little, and everyone wanted to be squeezed into the 3-second zone. This defensive lineup immediately made Barkley, who was already a little weak, extremely uncomfortable. There was no room for singles, and he could only choose. Pass the ball out.
But in the fourth quarter, the two major shooters, Sprewell and Lewis, lost their touch at the same time.
Both missed 2 shots each.
On the contrary, Kobe, without Lin Long's defense, once again turned into an all-around superman, 3 points, breakthroughs, scoring... It can be said that he is omnipotent. point.
In this case, in the first 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Celtics were chased and played by the Lakers again, and the points difference was widened to as many as 7 points by the Lakers again.
Bird immediately called a timeout. In the finals game, 7 points is definitely a big difference!
Bird dared not take the risk, and he began to think about what lineup to send.
Smith again praised in the studio:
"Phil Jackson is worthy of being the top coach of the 520 League! Although he lost to Auerbach in the Eastern Conference finals last year, this year, facing Auerbach's disciples, Jackson did not show any sympathy, and several adjustments were made. Timely and effective, so far in this game, perhaps the biggest gap between the two sides comes from the coach! 35
Reggie Miller laughed: "Have you never played with Larry Bird? If you've played with him, you should know how crazy this bastard's brain is and his heart is as dirty as ever. The sewers of New York City! After this timeout, Bird will have their deadliest all-offense lineup! I think Bird didn't do it before because he didn't think it was time yet!"
Smith didn't have time to refute, the first short pause of the fourth quarter ended, and Bird also used actual actions to prove that Reggie Miller was right.
Aaron Bryant, Chauncey Billups, Dale Curry, Tarryl Sprewell, Lin Long!
Bird's lineup surprised both Miller and Will Marcus who supported him!
He actually landed on an offensive lineup that was even crazier and more extreme than Miller and others had predicted.
Two point guards, one of whom is only 171 cm!
The small forward position is Curry, a pure shooter who can only shoot 3 points, and the 4th position is even more exaggerated, only for Sprewell, a guard who is only 196 cm tall.
Among the five people, only Lin Long can be regarded as an insider!
There is only one person, Lin Long, who is over 2 meters tall!
This lineup made Jackson's eyes widen.
He guessed that Bird would have a good offensive lineup, so he directly took his own ace twin towers and Kobe Pippen's four-star lineup.
It is to use height and rebounds, as well as experience and positional offense, to deal with the Celtics' attempt to play fast.
But Jackson never thought...
Bird is actually on such a small lineup, even if it is the ultimate, this is too much.
But after thinking about it, Jackson's response was still very fast, he immediately blew the whistle, signaling the players to play new tactics.
Attack the inside!
With slow and heavy insiders, the Celtics can't use their strength and speed!
Jackson clasped his arms confidently, turned his head to look at Bird who was standing on the sidelines, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
Larry Bird, hum, you're still a little young as a coach, far worse than your teacher!
It's right to be bold and daring to use people, but to play like this in the finals? It's definitely courting death!
The suspense of this game is probably almost gone!
Phil Jackson was so confident that he didn't even stand up, but half-reclined in his chair comfortably.
According to his assumption, in at most 3 minutes, Shaquille O'Neal and Malone will smash the Celtics' inside line and destroy the suspense of the game!
But in the first round, Jackson was taken aback.
Aaron Bryant holds the ball from the top of the arc.
After a one-block screen with Lin Long, Aaron saw that O'Neal was standing a little higher, and without thinking about it, he lowered his head to accelerate, flashed past O'Neal, and entered the basket.
Malone did not expect that this kid would dare to come to the basket to find death, and immediately ran over, a slap fell from the sky, and even the ball was covered by Malone. He wanted to let Aaron know (dbdd) what the league's number one ruthless man is!
"Snapped!
Malone's slap hit Aaron's arm as he wished, and directly pulled him down from the air with the ball.
Just when Malone wanted to snort to show his toughness, the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the aggressive Lin Long. The painful memory of last year's brutal beating immediately flooded into Malone's heart, and he quickly relaxed the slap. The strength of the pump to the ground, but the other hand also stretched out and passed it from under Aaron.
From the fans' point of view, Malone's goal is to protect Aaron, who has lost his center of gravity!
The NBA's top 3 dirty guy, the number one elbow user, and Malone who has done all the bad things, actually protected his opponent in the game!
This move by Malone makes all fans who know him stupid.
Miller even shouted directly: "God! Carl actually protected his opponent. Does the air in Los Angeles still have the effect of purifying the human heart and making the wicked change their minds and focus on goodness?"
The only one who wasn't stunned was Aaron!
Originally, he felt that his body was completely out of control, and there was no way to complete the shot, but then he felt a powerful big hand under his body, dragging his body!
The sense of balance and control of the basketball returned to Aaron's body in an instant, and Aaron immediately took control of his left hand.
A light flick toward the rim.
"Shh!
Aaron scored 2 points and will be fined!
Lin Long rushed over immediately, grabbed Aaron and said, "Are you alright?"
Aaron shook his head and said: "It's okay, Carl dragged me down below, he protected me!"
At this time, Aaron was also full of doubts.
He had the same soul question as a certain little monk.
Why don't tigers in Los Angeles eat people and look cute?
"Why don't you kill him Carl! That's not your style." O'Neal, who was carefree, ran over immediately and questioned Malone in a loud voice.
It's also a pressure for Lin Long and the Celtics' players.
Let them know that if they attack the inside line again, there is a risk of being directly killed by Malone.
Of course, Malone couldn't tell O'Neal that he felt the murderousness of Lin Long, so he was cowardly. He could only make up a reason:
"It's not easy for this kid to get into the NBA, I have to save him a bowl of food! I can't just ruin his future.
O'Neal looked at Malone like an idiot, and he even wanted to test whether Malone had a fever with his hands.
It's bullshit! A villain who doesn't care about his own illegitimate children, a bastard who takes action on girls under the age of 14, will care if a little kid who doesn't know him can make money and has a career?
Ghost letter!
Lin Long, like O'Neal, didn't believe a word of what Malone said. He glared at Malone, saw that Crawford was not around, and said fiercely to Malone: "I don't care if you mean it or not, but if If you dare to hurt our people, I'd rather give up the championship this season than have you rely on a urine bag and a wheelchair for the rest of your life.
!year
"Oh, is it? Then I'd really like to try it."
In fact, Ma Long completely believed that Lin Long would do what he said, and also believed that Lin Long had this fighting ability. His heart even wanted to stop beating with fear, but his dignity still made him bear his neck and not let him take a step. Said: "Next time, I will never show mercy!
