This Forward is Not Serious

"That's it, that's it!"

There was a pause, Marley yelled excitedly before Gentry could.

Don't think he's too excited, he and Barkley were on the same team at their peak.

Barkley's tragic experience that year also had his share.

So Barkley wants to win as much as he wants to win, and even now as a Suns assistant coach, he may be even stronger!

Gentry reached out and patted the old guy on the shoulder before picking up the tactical board.

"We have to ensure the shooting percentage as much as possible. The Lakers will get Gasol back after the timeout."

On the other side of the court, Phil Jackson really called Gasol up again.

If the Suns tie or even overtake him within this period of time, it would be meaningless for Gasol to switch to the substitute transition period.

Not only are the players on the field fighting, but the coaches on both sides of the field are also competing with each other tonight.

After Gasol returned to the court, the Suns were a little unable to move.

7-second offensive rebounds and penalty area protection are still very important, otherwise it will easily turn into a blind beat by the Black Eight Warriors.

The two teams began to enter a stalemate, and the point difference stabilized at around 3 points.

This situation is acceptable to both parties.

At the very least, the Suns used this period of play to force Gasol back onto the court, and they felt much more at ease in the subsequent substitute transition period.

At the end of the third quarter, the score on the field was 81 to 78.

The Lakers still led, but in this quarter they were chased by the Suns by a full 12 points!

Basically, it's the difference between a crash and a close win.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the whistle started to go a bit off again.

But Barbosa performed exceptionally well during this period, scoring frequently inside and outside.

What is different from history is that he has not suffered any injuries during the season, and his overall condition and physical fitness are much better.

In the last round against the Spurs and this round against the Lakers, he had already performed well in the final quarter, and tonight he came again when the points were most important!

This scene gave the fans at the scene a feeling of returning to youth.

Everything seems to be the same as it was a few years ago, and the unfinished dream from before has continued again!

"Come on! Suns!"

"Defend! Defend!"

What follows is the ruthless enthusiasm of the fans at the scene. Even if they are tired of shouting and their voices are hoarse, they are still shouting hoarsely for the home team.

Now they only have the same idea in their hearts as the players on the field, fight this game, make it back to the finals, and win that damn championship!

This section is still indistinguishable.

When the main players from both sides came back, the score on the field was 97 even!

Both sides are back on the same starting line!

The decisive moment in the last 8 minutes!

Not only were the Suns fans present, but the Lakers fans in front of the TV were also starting to get nervous.

2 to 3, if we lose, we will really lose!

Will the Lakers really lose to the Suns?

How could such an incredible thing really happen!

But, it really might happen!

In the first attack of the decisive moment, the Suns returned to the third quarter's style of play, still taking advantage of Lin Ying's mismatch.

But what is slightly different from the third quarter is that the Suns did not simply create space. Allen on the weak side repeatedly cut in and out to stretch the defensive formation.

The Lakers ignored this at first, but when Lin Ying passed the ball, Allen really scored the ball!

This goal was crucial. The Lakers had to put defenders on the weak side, which greatly increased Lin Ying's chances of misalignment.

With a change of direction and confrontation, Fisher really had no choice!

The "strongest defender" in Barkley's words is indeed strong enough, but his defensive steps are really too slow when he is old!

Moreover, the Lakers' starting performance was relatively poor during this period.

This is also reasonable. Anyone whose score difference is evened by 15 points in more than one quarter will definitely have ups and downs in his mentality!

Also taking advantage of this period, the Suns launched a 12-6 offensive and gained a crucial 6-point lead 3 minutes before the end!

Phil Jackson called timeout again.

The cheers at the American Airlines Center were completely unstoppable.

Victory is already waving towards the Phoenix people!

The Lakers bench has never been quieter.

Kobe has stopped shouting.

At the decisive moment, he tried to mobilize the status of others, but the effect was not good.

Moreover, the Suns' desire to win is too strong. Every time the Lakers want to score, they will encounter two or even three people.

If the Suns win tonight, they will definitely deserve it.

But, no!

He stopped Phil Jackson who was arranging tactics.

This is also the first time he has done so since changing his jersey number.

"I'll take care of the game."

A few simple words, but powerful.

And, there is no doubt about it.

Not only because of his status in the Lakers, but also because if it weren't for him in the third quarter, the Lakers would have been tied or even overtaken.

Phil Jackson's reaction was interesting.

He picked up the tactical board again.

Just when others thought he wanted to maintain the coaching authority and not allow Kobe to act like this.

He erased all the tactics laid out above, and then drew a new one:

"We play Kobe."

Return from the timeout and the game continues.

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt and cleared everyone on the strong side.

This isn't even a triangle, it's just pure singles tactics.

Gasol fed the ball to Kobe in the high post on the right side, and then also moved to the weak side.

Allen defended Kobe one-on-one.

Kobe caught the ball facing the frame, turned around and faced the frame.

Three threats, shooting fakes, breakthroughs and sudden stops!

The action was simple, and Allen followed suit.

However, Allen couldn't stop Kobe's shot. With his legs together and leaning back, normal people wouldn't be able to interfere too much.

To put it bluntly, this kind of ball makes the defender helpless, but it depends entirely on your own personal ability.

If converted into diving movements, it is equivalent to a difficulty coefficient of 3.6 at the beginning.

"Uh-huh!"

The seemingly difficult movements were easy to perform in Kobe's hands.

The point difference was reduced to 4 points!

Then, the Lakers defended in a wave!

After throwing all the offense to Kobe, others blocked almost every point on the defensive end, including Lin Ying's misplaced hit on Fisher.

They are selectively letting Allen go!

So now Gentry is pacing the sidelines, a little conflicted.

Although Allen couldn't guard Kobe, he could at least put enough pressure on Kobe. If anyone else had to guard Kobe, he would have exploded.

But Allen is indeed easy to target offensively.

hold on.

Kobe continued to single out Allen.

Another sudden stop from the face frame.

This time Lin Ying consciously let Odom go and stepped over to attack.

Kobe, no pass!

The ball looked like it was possessed by Anthony, but Kobe used a lever in the air to dodge Lin Ying's block shot!

So difficult!

"Uh-huh!"

But, it’s in again!

Fake first, Carmelo Anthony.

The real Bongxian, Kobe Bryant!

What is true invincibility?

The point difference is only 2 points!

"Damn it!"

In the commentary box, Barkley couldn't help but exploded.

Before it was Jordan, now it's a guy who looks like Jordan!

The courtside whistle blew and Richardson replaced Allen.

Since Kobe is in this state, he just plays offense.

In less than two minutes, as long as the score leads, it is victory!

Lin Ying threw a pick-and-roll for Nash at the top of the arc. After breaking it up, he received a return pass from Nash. After a fake pass inward, he shot directly from outside the three-point line!

This choice is bold enough!

The Suns have not scored for a while. The safest way at this time is to hit the basket and cause damage.

On the one hand, it is easy to miss a three-point shot. If it is a long rebound, it is also easy for the opponent to counterattack.

But Lin Ying just voted!

It is impossible to pursue the ultimate reasonableness at this time.

Because the Lakers also know that the Suns will seek stability, they will pay more attention to protecting the basket.

On the contrary, it is easier to get opportunities from outside.

As for whether you can make the investment, it depends on your personal ability and whether your heart is big enough!

Almost everyone present held their breath.

The ball spins in the air and then falls.

The moment the basketball hit the net, cheers erupted in advance.

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Ying's three-pointer was made!

Crucial three-pointer!

Just like Lin Ying's game-killing three-pointer in overtime in G4!

Lin Ying has a super, super big heart!

And after making this three-pointer, he made an action.

He made his hand look like a phone and put it to his ear.

call.me!

Butler's celebration!

The moment this action came out, the American Airlines Center was instantly breached.

The whole place was filled with overwhelming cheers!

On the bench, a group of players also stood up and made the same move.

Sitting there, Butler lost control of his emotions and covered his face with his hands.

He thought Lin Ying had forgotten his original request on the plane.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ying didn't forget, but wanted to save this action for a special moment!

Kobe was also greatly touched when he saw this scene.

If he were not his opponent, he would really want to go up and give Lin Ying a big hug now!

The game continues!

Lin Ying's three-pointer was fatal. There were not many opportunities left for the Lakers!

Moreover, affected by Lin Ying's celebration, the Suns' defense was airtight at this time.

What's even more desperate is that before this round, Gentry micro-managed and directly replaced Nash with Allen!

Anyway, there are unlimited substitutions in a basketball game, and every round at this point is important!

The Lakers didn't have much offensive time left, and they still couldn't find any good opportunities.

In the end, Kobe came out to catch the ball and there was not much time left. He finally forced a shot against Richardson's defense.

Richardson couldn't control his body and hit him.

Kobe took the shot before losing his balance.

The referee on the sidelines blew the whistle. This ball requires three free throws!

"Uh-huh!"

But what's even more terrible is that the goal actually went in! !

Richardson held his head in his hands, his expression dull.

Kobe has such a waist!

I can’t find any other adjective besides saying that Vanessa is very happy!

Gentry also held his head. If Allen had defended, at least there would not have been this extra penalty.

But there are no ifs in the game.

At this time we can only look at the offensive performance in the next round.

Nash replaced Allen again.

The Suns attacked in the frontcourt, and Lin Ying was already being targeted.

The Lakers' defensive goal is very clear and they will no longer give Lin Ying an easy offense or even a chance to catch the ball!

However, the court is five against five, and focusing on one side means neglecting the other side.

Nash played a beautiful pick-and-roll with Stoudemire at this time. After seeing that Gasol was far away from him, he shot directly from the mid-range.

He is a sure shot of this kind of ball.

"Dang!"

But the ball didn't go in!

Just like the abbreviation of his entire career, at the most critical moment, he failed to seize the opportunity!

Gasol protected the defensive rebound and the Lakers called a timeout!

The last 30 seconds!

Nash's expression could not hide his disappointment.

At this time, Stoudemire went over to comfort him for a while and pointed to the scoreboard.

They are still 1 point ahead.

The fans at the scene were so excited that they didn't dare to breathe.

They are indeed still 1 point ahead, but the ball belongs to the Lakers!

If you guard against this round, the game will enter a free throw shootout. If you fail to guard against it, you may fall short!

Back from the timeout, the Lakers have the ball!

Allen replaced Nash again.

The Lakers gave the ball to Kobe with about 15 seconds left in the attack time, and then Kobe launched the offense in about 8 seconds.

The Suns' entire defensive focus is on him, and this time the Suns' defense is not just about guarding people, but also driving Kobe to the baseline.

This is a comfortable opportunity and I don’t want to give it to him.

Kobe didn't pass, he rushed out of the baseline, and then shot backward in the air.

This is a negative angle shot.

The moment the ball was released, everyone's breath was held.

This kind of ball should...not go in, right? !

The ball flew towards the basket and almost touched the edge of the backboard.

"Uh-huh!"

Then, in!

The entire American Airlines Center was silent for a moment, as if time had frozen.

Kobe, completed the game!

Again!

Suns, called a timeout!

Kobe's face was fierce as he landed, raising his hands high, enjoying the impact of his teammates!

And when his teammates rushed up to yell at him, he raised his index finger and put his hand in front of his mouth, making a "silence" gesture.

Take it, it explodes!

And when doing this action, Kobe's eyes were looking at Lin Ying.

Obviously, this was a response to Lin Ying's previous actions.

He was also telling Lin Ying what he had said before:

"You can't win!"

The ball was almost a buzzer-beater, and the Suns still had 6 seconds to attack.

However, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"sorry."

Nash's expression at this time was indescribably frustrated.

The old boy missed the most important shot of his career.

The shot that he had practiced countless times and was 99% sure of, he actually failed to make it!

This scene seems familiar, Lin Ying felt the same way when he missed the winning shot in G2.

The first person to comfort him at that time was Nash.

So this time Lin Ying reached out and patted Nash on the shoulder:

"Steve, leave it to me."

A very weighty shot that makes people feel extremely reassuring.

Nash looked at Lin Ying blankly for a while, then nodded.

…

"beep!"

When the timeout is up, both sides return to the court.

The fans at the scene felt as if their throats were burning.

I couldn't tell whether it was because my voice was hoarse or because of the heart-burning competition situation in front of me.

In the last attack, if both sides don't score, they will have to play tiebreaker. The Suns' efforts throughout the season may be in vain!

The Suns' frontcourt ball, Nash's sideline ball!

There was no complicated tactics, everyone else pulled away, and Lin Ying caught the ball with his back in the high post.

Like last time, Gentry arranged for his high-post singles with the ball.

With 6 seconds of attack time, he will be double-teamed as long as he catches the ball in the low post.

As for tactics, this time is too late. Betting on inside alley-oops is too extreme.

So this is the safest option.

The person who defended Lin Ying was Kobe!

Familiar scenes, familiar counterpoints.

This is G2’s unfinished victory, and it’s all over again!

And this time the team fell behind, making it even more difficult!

But how to fight, Lin Ying had already thought about it when he saw Kobe guarding him.

Because the two of them had played one-on-one a lot before, they were already quite familiar with each other.

His size determines that he has an advantage in the low post and a disadvantage in the high post.

So after the three threats cleared up the offensive space for himself, he immediately said something to Kobe:

"Kobe, my only goal is to beat the Lakers!"

The words came out of the blue, and Kobe's mind uncontrollably flashed back to the scene when he and Lin Ying were chatting about "from the heart."

Then at this moment, Lin Ying made a breakthrough!

With Grover's special training, his first step became much faster!

One step, passing Kobe!

Kobe recovered and hurriedly chased after him, but it was already too late!

Lin Ying caught this one move, quickly broke through and took one step, and then took action decisively!

Kobe couldn't catch up with his jumping shot! I can only turn my head and watch the ball fly towards the basket!

Everyone's breath was held for a moment.

In the huge arena, the only sound seemed to be the pounding of the heart.

This ball looks a little crooked.

The fans at the scene couldn't help but feel tense.

After all, he still put too much pressure on Lin Ying and had too many expectations?

After all, he is only a third-year player!

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard.

Then, bounce toward the basket!

It was at this time that the fans who reacted quickly realized that this was not crooked, but... a slap on the board!

The successor of Shi Buddha, how can we call him the successor of Shi Buddha if we don’t fight against him!

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball bounced and fell steadily into the net bag!

The red light on the sidelines lit up!

Lin Ying, a buzzer-beating counterattack!

Seal the throat with one sword!

What he failed to accomplish in G2, he did in G6!

Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ball go in, and then raised his hands in front of the fans.

Cheers! Cheer for this victory!

The Suns players on the field rushed towards Lin Ying like crazy!

The Suns bench was also screaming like crazy.

Marley hugged Gentry and shouted wildly.

Butler also recovered instantly and walked quickly on his mechanical legs.

Medical Miracle 2.0!

The American Airlines Center completely exploded!

They won, they really won!

They defeated the defending champion Lakers and reached the Finals again after 17 years!

Like a dream!

Kobe was forced out of Lin Ying's side.

It was only then that he came back to his senses.

The words Lin Ying said before his breakthrough were still echoing in his ears.

The expression is extremely complex.
