Chapter 345 Who says it’s not possible!

After this arrangement, the Lakers' tactics relied entirely on Pau Gasol as the pivot, with Odom and Kobe becoming supporting roles. The entire team patiently implemented the triangle offensive tactics.

Pietrus and Fisher's outside shooting and Pietrus' cutting in caused big trouble for the Magic. Especially Fisher's three consecutive three-pointers made the entire Staples crazy.

The Magic team felt as if they had put their hands into the cold Arctic Ocean bottom, and their feel suddenly dropped.

"Bryant leaned back with great difficulty. Ron had already blocked the shot in his face and still couldn't stop the goal. He even almost received an extra penalty. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Los Angeles came back to life. They came back to life. Los Angeles used

A two-point lead in four minutes.

Although Orlando's poor touch is related to Los Angeles' defense, they still have big problems with their own touch, including Wood, who should be more confident and not pass the ball!" Hoffman said while looking at the court.

Lin Sen encountered crazy defense during this period. Kobe and Pietrus' continuous defense changes made Lin Sen uncomfortable. In these five minutes, Lin Sen took 5 shots and only hit 2 goals. It looked good, but for Lin Sen

For Sen, this hit rate is obviously unqualified.

"Stan called a timeout. This timeout is necessary! Orlando must adjust. Chauncey and Wood are the two big hearts of Orlando. They didn't have chaos but they didn't feel very good." Bill Walton looked at the sidelines.

said.

The long pause passed quickly, and the game restarted as the referee blew his whistle.

"Bryant defends Wood, what will Wood choose this time? Will he do it himself? This offense is particularly important for Orlando." Bill Walton said.

The basketball kept colliding with the ground. Kobe looked at Lin Sen coldly, his eyes filled with coldness.

Lin Sen accelerated violently. Kobe immediately turned around to pursue him.

Bang!

However, this time Kobe's body was intercepted by a wall. Pietrus on the other side immediately prepared to cover up the defense, but was also delayed and failed to switch defenses as perfectly as he did in the previous few minutes.

Looking at Lin Sen's back, Kobe raised his head and glared angrily at Darko Milicic who was blocking him.

"This time the Los Angeles perimeter failed to stop Wood. Wood rushed into the paint!" Bill Walton shouted loudly.

Natalie Portman in the audience stared closely at Lin Sen. Originally, they thought they would win this game, but unexpectedly such a sudden change occurred. They hoped that Lin Sen would usher in tomorrow's game with victory.

Oscar feast instead of flop.

Looking at the Lakers twin towers inside, Lin Sen gritted his teeth. In the first few minutes, the defense of Pietrus and Kobe Bryant on the outside of the Lakers was a key. The defense of Pau Gasol and Odom on the inside was even more critical.

At this moment, Lin Sen chose to rush inside. If there was an emergency stop, Pietrus would probably come up to defend and interfere with his shot.

Lin Sen took a heavy step with his left foot inside the free throw line, and almost at the same time he held the ball to his chest with both hands, as if he was holding a bag of explosives to blow up a bunker with a death-defying attitude.

Such a tough attitude also made Pau Gasol have to worry about his defense. He was worried about being fouled by Lin Sen.

Lin Sen protected the ball with both hands and cut directly inside. He looked at Gasol with his arms raised in the air without any fear. He took a step and collided with Gasol.

Bang!

The two collided, and Gasol kept his cylinder for fear of being called for a foul.

Lin Sen stepped forward with his right foot and adjusted his body's center of gravity. Gasol did not dare to press down, which gave Lin Sen an opportunity.

Lin Sen squeezed past Gasol directly to the right. After passing Pau Gasol, Lin Sen slammed his left foot on the floor.

He completely left Gasol behind him, passed the ball to his right hand, and made a reverse basket and sent the ball into the basket.

"Wood, Wood successfully scored. This time it was a tenacious breakthrough. Paul, who had five fouls, did not dare to press down and gave Wood a chance. 107:107, the two sides were tied. At this time, there was still time before the end of the game.

There are 1 minute and 19 seconds. In a real life-and-death battle, every minute is extremely important." Hoffman shouted excitedly.

Kobe directly passed the ball in the backcourt. Artest looked at Kobe approaching the frontcourt step by step. He was under great defensive pressure.

Artest immediately stuck to him without waiting in place. In a flash, Artest stuck to Kobe like a piece of dog-skin plaster, and at the same time, he also used his own little moves.

He must not let Kobe continue to score goals. As long as he prevents Kobe's goal. Returning to the offensive end and scoring another goal for the Magic, the situation will be much more favorable to the Magic.

Kobe Bryant took Artest's idea of ​​not passing the ball and hit him with his back while listening to the cheers from the entire field.

"Paul cover!" Bill Walton shouted loudly, and Kobe, who was leaning on Artest with his back, immediately turned around.

Lin Sen, who was not far away, immediately pounced on him, but Lin Sen was still a little slow.

Kobe had already taken one step inside the three-point line and took his hand. The ball flew out and arced into the basket.

"Bryant, Bryant is still feeling hot. His goal helped Los Angeles lead by two points again! The pressure has returned to Orlando. I can even imagine that Orlando and Los Angeles will fight to the end like they did for the first time in the regular season.

In one second, it could even be a game-winner." Bill Walton said.

Originally, he thought that the suspense of the game was gone and that the Orlando Magic would win on the road. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and the Magic were not feeling good. The Lakers, who were nine points behind, caught up with the point difference and achieved a lead. Bill Walton

I have to sigh that anything is possible on the basketball court.

Lin Sen could only reluctantly accept the fact that Kobe Bryant scored. For the Magic, they had to temporarily put aside all pressure at this moment and strive for success.

Trailing by two points with one minute left, if you want to win, you must at least equalize first.

"This is Kobe Bryant, a big heart. He never shows mercy at critical moments. He shows with his actions that this is his home court, this is his territory. What kind of response will Wood make? Now Orlando needs to score goals. It needs to be

Someone stands up, and Wood, as the leader of the team, has this responsibility." Hoffman said while looking at Lin Sen on the court.

However, God and Lin Sen made a joke. Lin Sen used the pick-and-roll and took a shot directly from outside the three-point line. He felt very good. But in the end, he missed the frame.

"This is an unreasonable offensive choice, but it is reasonable for Wood, but God made a joke with him. I thought this goal was going to score and help Orlando go ahead, but it missed the frame. This way

You have to do a good job in defense when you come to Orlando." Hoffman said with some regret.

Lin Sen shook his arm in frustration. He felt very good about the shot just now, but he failed to hit it. If he lost the game in the end, he could imagine that this shot would be criticized by many people.

"Wood, keep on, you're doing a great job!" Stan Van Gundy shouted to Lin Sen on the court. Lin Sen turned his head and glanced at Stan Van Gundy. He nodded and felt lucky to be in the Magic.

Everyone hopes to have coaches and teammates who always support them, but this is not an easy task, but he got this treatment that countless people dream of.

Pau Gasol picked off the defensive rebound and immediately handed the ball to Kobe.

During the transition between offense and defense, the Lakers played very patiently. Kobe attracted the defense and passed the ball to Gasol, who chose to play singles in the face of Milicic's defense.

With almost 24 seconds left before the buzzer sounded, Pau Gasol turned over and made a jump shot and sent the ball into the basket. The faces of the Magic fans in front of the TV were full of disappointment.

With thirty-one seconds left, the Magic trailed the Lakers by four points.

"The game is completely serious. Orlando can only score goals to maintain the possibility of winning. What Los Angeles has to do is defend. As long as it can prevent Orlando's next attack, the suspense of the game will completely disappear." Hoffman said.

Stan Van Gundy used up the Magic's last long timeout. In addition, the Magic only had a 20-second short timeout left.

"Grab a three-pointer, or pursue a success rate and find a two-pointer? This is a difficult choice?" Bill Walton said, looking at the Magic bench.

"Almost everyone on the Magic team has three-point ability. This is a huge test for the Lakers' defense, especially Wood and Chauncey. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Orlando chooses three-pointers. I think Phil will think so too, and

If you think this way, Orlando can take advantage of the opportunity and easily steal a two-point ball." Hoffman said.

After the timeout, Sean Battier, Ron Artest, Darko Milicic, Lin Sen and Billups became the final lineup on the court. Everyone in this lineup except Milicic has three-point ability.

.

Phil Jackson had anticipated this situation. He still thought the ball would be handed to Lin Sen.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle, and the four players from the Magic team immediately ran around to try to widen the distance between everyone. The four players tried their best to disrupt the Lakers' defense.

Darko Milicic saw Linsen and immediately threw the ball over.

Due to the rapid movement of the four people back and forth, the opportunity for Darko Milicic to catch the open pass was short-lived. Therefore, the quality of the pass was not very good.

Lin Sen could only jump up to win the ball, but after a delay, Kobe blocked Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked at the timer out of the corner of his eye. Time did not allow him to move too much. He kept his rhythm and Kobe's open arms covered Lin Sen.

Bang!

His back collided with Kobe's, and he used his left foot as a pivot to pull the ball to Kobe's right side with his right hand.

Kobe adjusted his defensive focus, and Lin Sen took advantage of the situation to pull the ball back. With a change of wrist, the ball landed behind him on the right side.

At the same time, Lin Sen stepped back with his right foot, followed with his left heel, and there was a half-body gap between him and Kobe.

Lin Sen, who had just missed a shot that he thought he would score, looked at the basket and chose to take off again.

"Wood chose to take off. It was another typical Wood-style shot! Did it happen this time?" Bill Walton shouted loudly, staring closely at Lin Sen who took off.

Lin Sen still didn't hesitate and jumped up directly. He didn't even make too many adjustments and shot directly. In order to avoid Kobe's block, Lin Sen increased the arc.

This shot still made Lin Sen feel good, but the same shot last time made Lin Sen a little worried.

Watching the ball fall to the ground in an arc in the air, the ball fell straight towards the basket.

Whoosh!

As the ball went into the basket, Lin Sen roared.

"Wood, Wood did it. He hit a key three-pointer despite a huge blow, only one point away, only one point away! Wood, Wood has a big heart!" Bill Walton roared loudly.

Lin Sen on the court clenched his fists and retreated quickly.

This goal also gave the Magic renewed hope. Linsen's attack only took four seconds, and there were still 27 seconds left before the end of the game.

Even if the Lakers adopt a tactic that consumes 24 seconds of attack time, the Magic can still have an offensive opportunity. In addition, the team has a short timeout that just gives the Magic a chance to serve from the frontcourt. They are starting to look forward to it.

Phil Jackson called a timeout. The next 24 seconds are very important to the Lakers. They can't make mistakes and try to use up the 24 seconds even if they don't take a shot.
