Chapter 231 Chasing points, out of reach!
"Wade doesn't hit Kobe, throws the ball to Jones, catches, starts, drives inside, pulls up, makes a two-point jump shot...
Payton's defense also couldn't keep up with Jones' speed, and his height and wingspan also suffered.
Defensive, just put on a show.
Swish-!
Jones singled out Payton and scored steadily! ! "
"Now, the Lakers' defense will be quite a headache.
When Kobe switched to Wade, Jones would explode. If Kobe didn't switch, Wade would kill Payton.
In this way, with the score leading, even if the Lakers' inside offense is revitalized, the initiative to win will still remain in the hands of the Heat. "
Next, the situation on the field was just as the commentator said.
Kobe's defense is quite strong, but the Heat did not find a breakthrough from him.
Anyway, it was just grabbing Payton and beating hard. Wade and Jones were in very good condition.
Singled out Payton and succeeded frequently.
Occasionally, Ye Feng attacked Devin George, and also succeeded in attacking from time to time.
The Heat's outside firepower was full and they tightly maintained their lead.
Coupled with the tilt of the home whistle, after the third quarter, the Heat continued to expand the score difference.
74 to 84! !
After the first three quarters, the Lakers accumulated advantages little by little and took a 10-point lead in the score.
……
"Jackson was really stubborn. When Payton was blown up, he still chose to trust Payton and ignore Fisher off the court.
As a result, Jackson made a wrong call, and the Heat took turns to single out Payton's offensive tactics. "
"In the next fourth quarter, let's see how Jackson will respond. Now the Lakers are only 10 points behind. With O'Neal's physical strength and offensive recovery, there is still a great chance to reverse the game."
The fourth quarter started, and the Lakers finally chose to make substitutions, using Fisher to find Payton and Medvedenko to replace Malone.
The iron man Kobe continued to fight again, and O'Neal, who was paddling on offense, also stayed on the court.
For the Heat, Ye Feng and Grant rested, and Haslem and Butler played.
The Lakers attack, Fisher goes up the court, and distributes the basketball to Kobe.
Seeing that O'Neill is stuck inside, after all, Haslem is not in the same class as him.
It's just a pity...
Kobe didn't choose to split the ball. If he connected with O'Neal, the score would be very easy.
At this time, the Lakers are behind, but the team's internal and external cores are playing their own way.
Kobe made a three-threat pose, feinted, and accelerated to break through inside.
The penalty area pulled the ball up, dodged the block, and pulled the pole to send the basketball into the basket.
"Kobe played very strongly, facing a tight defense, he could still score points calmly.
I have to say that Kobe's personal ability is really too strong.
However, the key for the Lakers to reverse the game now is to freeze the Heat's scoring on defense.
Next, the Heat's offense did not include Payton on the field. In fact, it was the same with Fisher on the field. scored. "
"The two sides have entered the battle, and neither side can defend against the opponent..."
In the next round, the Lakers attacked, and Fisher finally sent the basketball to O'Neal in the frontcourt.
Bang-!
Knocked away Harlesme, turned around and was about to dunk.
beep-!
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded. It turned out that Odom caught O'Neal in time and hugged O'Neal who was about to make a layup. His whole body was hung on O'Neal's body.
O'Neal's offense was disrupted and he got two free throws.
On the free throw line, O'Neal didn't struggle very much, bang bang bang...
Unexpectedly, he missed both free throws.
The free throw to send points has turned into losing the ball. This kind of blow is very demoralizing.
Looking back, the Heat showed the belief that they must win, and Wade went to the frontcourt to break through inside.
After being flanked, the ball came out to Jones, who did not float outside to shoot, and continued to break through inside.
After being blocked by Kobe at all costs, the basketball was assigned to Butler and continued to break through to the inside.
Finally, Medvedenko's thug foul was caused.
On the free throw line, O'Neal missed all the free throws in front, but Butler didn't show mercy, making two free throws and making two free throws.
The difference between the two sides has expanded to 12 points.
Next, the offensive state of the two sides declined, and both sides failed to hit each other.
The situation on the court fell to the Heat's side.
Jackson put the main force back on the field and tried to charge again. As a result, no matter whether Fisher or Payton was on the field, they were all targeted, and when they were blown up, chasing points became out of reach.
Om-!
With the beep of the scorer on the rim, full-time is over.
98 to 107! !
The Heat had the last laugh and defeated the Lakers by 9 points. It will be the biggest score in the Finals series and tie it 1-1.
Wade continued to explode, making 21 of 12 shots, 5 of 1 three-pointers, and 11 of 10 free throws. He scored 35 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. The superstar style continued.
Jones scored 25 points and 6 rebounds, and Ye Feng scored 19 points and 3 assists.
The Heat's outside trident broke out in an all-round way, blasting the Lakers to death.
For the Lakers, O'Neal had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, and Kobe had 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. The guard line was grabbed and blown up, and the loss was not wronged.
……
June 6, Los Angeles, Staples Center Arena.
The third matchup of the NBA Finals in the 03-04 season was held at the home court of the Lakers.
"Back at home, the Lakers should not give the Heat a chance to win."
From this human point of view, even though the Heat are guarding a home court, they are still not favored.
After a relaxed appearance and warm-up, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were displayed on the big screen in the Putaipusi Center Arena.
For the Lakers, point guard Payton, shooting guard Kobe, small forward Devin George, power forward Malone, and center O'Neal.
For the Heat, point guard Wade, shooting guard Jones, small forward Ye Feng, power forward Odom, and center Grant.
……
beep-!
A long whistle sounded.
The referee casually threw the basketball high into the sky.
Odom and O'Neal, the two jumped up and scrambled for the ball at the same time.
"O'Neal was overweight, but in the jump ball, he still defeated Odom and won the first attack for the Lakers."
With long legs, Payton dribbled the ball to the front court, and after O'Neal settled down, he immediately sent the basketball into the interior.
"O'Neal caught the ball with his back to the rim, boom...
After taking a step, he immediately turned around and pulled the ball up, ignoring Grant's defense, with a bang, dunked with both hands, and his whole body was hung on the basket.
The basket also wobbled, and O'Neal's ability to dominate inside was too strong. "
0 to 2! !
O'Neal easily caught the ball and scored, giving the Heat a big blow.
