Chapter 170 If you dare to take a foothold, you will be ruined
After a day of renovation, on May 27, 2008, local time, the two teams of AT&T Center will conduct G4.
This battle is of great significance to both sides. If the Lakers win this game, they will return to Los Angeles with a 3:1 score. If this game is lost, the series will be 2:2. After losing two games, the Spurs will win two games in a row, and will come to Los Angeles again with the victory.
The next game will be played in Los Angeles, but it will have different meanings for both sides.
This game also influences the ownership of the series, and its significance is no less than the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. It can be said that for the Lakers, it is better than the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
In the pre-match locker room, pre-match arrangements are carried out step by step, without much change.
"How did the previous game turn out? Don't think about it anymore. Treat this game as the first game of the series. All we need is to win this game and then return to Los Angeles. You will receive cheers from countless fans. If you lose the game, I don't need to say it." Phil gave a sweet date, but it wouldn't make the players forget it and slapped them again.
"In this game, don't have any reservations, defend with all your might, don't worry about fouls, don't worry about not having enough physical strength. At the beginning, you must use oppressive defense to shock them and take the victory away from San Toniono.
Players on the outside, don’t be afraid of not being able to make a shot. If you have an opportunity, you have to take action. If you make a shot, you will count on yours. If you miss it, it’s mine. Don’t have any psychological burden.
Of course, except for Li. If the touch is not good, you can choose to pass the ball. If you miss the shot, you can't be considered mine." Phil finally got a little sad.
This game is very important. Before the game, I also communicated with Li Tian alone and started with defense. If the game is in a stalemate, you can shoot appropriately and give up three-pointers; if the state returns, you don’t have to worry about it and just shoot wildly.
Li Tian's mid-range shot in the first two rounds of the series can be said to have rarely taken action in all previous games. If he occasionally takes action, no one will think that this is a conventional method.
After Phil finished his last sentence, a burst of laughter came from the locker room, and the depression just now disappeared.
"Victory, victory, victory, come on, Lakers." He shouted and walked out of the locker room.
All the players have a new mental outlook, which is a huge difference from the depressedness after losing the last game.
"Haha, old friends, we've met again. Do you miss me very much?" Barkley said with his mouth wide open.
"Look, everyone, the game is about to begin. Lakers players come out of the player channel and look brand new." Smith exclaimed.
"Yes, it seems that the Lakers are extremely determined to win this game, and they are looking forward to this game at first." Barkley instantly returned to serious form.
The Lakers are still regular starters, and the Spurs continue their starters in the last game.
The Spurs' outbreak of Ginobili in the last game was unexpected, so losing the game was accidental, but in fact it was inevitable.
Gasol won the jump ball, Kobe assisted Odom and missed the iron.
"Wow, it's really different. Gasol toughly squeezed out Duncan, grabbed the offensive rebound, took off again, and made a layup." Barkley said excitedly.
It is rare to see such a strong Gasol. Of course, there are not many players who can force him to be so tough, only a few, and Duncan is one of them.
Gasol's toughness was not an accident, but just a kick-off.
Finley passed the ball with the ball across the half, and Fisher and Odom suddenly stepped forward and attacked.
Caught off guard, Fisher intercepted Finley, launched a fast attack, assisted the ski man's mid-range shot.
At the 4:0 start, the Lakers showed their tough side.
Looking back, Parker attacked with the ball, scored Bowen on the wing, and made a mid-range shot.
Kobe made a mistake when facing the three-person double-team.
After a series of passes, the Spurs finally returned to Parker's hand and made another mid-range shot.
The two teams played very fiercely, and they almost had to fight until the last 5 seconds of each attack before taking action.
The ball holder will face double or three-person attacks, which is normal.
Under Kobe's leadership, the Lakers scored an 8:2 offensive climax, bringing the scores of the two teams to 14:6, and the score difference reached 8 points.
"There is finally a chance to die, and Kenny Lee is going to be replaced again. I just saw that he has started to warm up." Every time Barkley said something, it felt like it was going to rain.
"Yes, the Lee you admire the most is going to play." Smith didn't know why, since kissing the donkey's butt, Barkley has rarely targeted Celestial players.
Li Tian replaced the ski man and guarded the basket with Gasol.
Kobe attacked and distributed the ball to Gasol at the basket.
Turning on his back, he blocked it by Duncan, and the ball went out of bounds.
Kobe continued to attack with the ball, Li Tian mentioned the pick-and-roll at a high position, hit the board, and scored another two points.
The Spurs attacked, Parker passed the ball to Ginobili outside the three-point line, faced Kobe's defense, forced a three-pointer and made a shot.
Li Tian protected the defensive rebounds.
Fisher advanced with the ball.
Li Tian stepped forward to pick-and-roll, Fisher broke through Parker, came to the free throw line, and Bowen, who defended Kobe, stepped forward to make up for the defense.
Turn around and pass the ball to Kobe outside the three-point line, and shoots an open position.
"Not good!" Bao Wen realized that he had made a mistake and quickly turned around to interfere with Kobe's attack again.
Kobe didn't care about Bowen's interference, but he always paid attention to his landing space.
Bao Wenfei stretched out his right foot slightly forward, and when he landed on the ground, he landed on Kobe's landing position.
After taking action, Kobe saw that Bowen turned around to repair the defense and had already taken precautions.
The moment I landed, I made a protective action and fell to the ground.
"Ding!"
The referee quickly blew the whistle and then stepped forward to stop the situation on the field from changing.
Fisher immediately stepped forward to ask Kobe how he felt, and his teammates came forward to care.
Li Tianze walked towards Bowen, stretched out his finger, pointed at Bowen and said, "I warn you, if you dare to stretch out your damn foot and dare to placate your foot, I will ruin you on the court. Don't doubt the credibility of my words. You can ask Rondo and Pierce, and ask them how credible they are."
Bao Wen didn't dare to argue hard, and explained to the referee that he was just trying to defend and stabilize his center of gravity, so he would be like this.
"The court suddenly became nervous. If it were me, I would get up and punch the opponent." Barkley was excited. It was true that at that time, if the super giant hit someone, he might not even be fouled.
"Fatty, that was your time, but it is not allowed now." Smith reminded kindly.
"I miss basketball from that era so much. Basketball now is like a group of soft balls playing," kept saying in the studio.
The situation on the court became even more tense. Looking at Li Tian’s fierce look, Bao Wen did not dare to take action first. He knew that if he really took action, Li Tian might be suspended, but it is unknown whether he could end up.
