Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 138 The grand finals start off one-sided!
The Lakers attack the frontcourt.

Kobe received the basketball, dribbled into the paint, pulled the ball up, and made a 180-degree back-and-forth dunk, blasting the basketball into the basket.

0 to 4! !
On the court, the Pacers attacked.

Reggie Miller was closely pursued by Kobe, and the so-called superb off-ball skills were resolved one by one under Kobe's sprint without hesitation.

No way, Reggie Miller could only use the cover of his teammates to finally get rid of Kobe's defense temporarily.

Mark Jackson, who ranks second in the league in assists, comfortably passes the ball into Reggie Miller's hands.

At this time, in the corner area on the right, Reggie Miller received the ball, took off, and raised his hand for a two-point jump shot...

In other words, this is a solid two-point shot. The Pacers need to revive their morale after missing consecutive shots. Reggie Miller naturally dare not bet on three-pointers.

Bang-dang-!
Playing in the finals for the first time, Reggie Miller was a little nervous and felt cold.

"The Pacers seem to be much older than the Lakers, and their experience in the finals may be worse than the Lakers!" Mike Brin said with a smile.

Not possible, but sure.

Reggie Miller didn't make it to the finals for the first time until he was 35 years old.

It was also blown as Jordan's deadly enemy, which is simply too much.

that?

That's the one.

Chinese is broad and profound, you don’t need to understand everything, just understand it.

Ok!

The basketball was snatched by Big Ben.

Dale Davis is still an All-Star center, and it's hard to beat him with his strength.

Being able to enter the All-Star lineup depends on relationships!
There is one thing to say, this is really true, not relying on strength, but relying on connections to enter the All-Star lineup.

For example, Brad Miller in 2004 is the case.

At that time, there were Duncan, Garnett, Stoudemire, Yao Ming, Nuo Tianwang, Gasol, Rasheed and other stars in the West. No matter how you say it, Miller, who had 14 points, 9 rebounds and 3.5 assists, could not turn to Miller. However, Adelman It's the Western All-Star head coach, and the ending is different.

Billups received the ball, and the Lakers fought back quickly.

Jalen Rose desperately chased back, Mark Jackson blocked Billups, Reggie Miller assisted in blocking the pass, and then pressed the Lakers' quick counterattack.

In other words, this fast pace, the old bones of the Pacers can't stand it.

On the court, the Lakers played positional warfare.

Billups hoists the basketball into O'Neal's hands.

He caught the ball with his back and slammed back hard.

Bang-!
Schmitz gets out of the way.

He was about the same height as Yao Ming, and unlike Yao Ming, he didn't choose to gain weight.

Even defensively he doesn't intend to enhance it.

Just use your height to bully people.

Whether it is offense or defense, as long as there is a height, the advantage will come.

Gaining weight with O'Neill is the same reason, a trick that is eaten all over the world.

This is still innate, the height given by parents, why do you have to work hard to gain weight?
Isn't he good enough to crush directly with his physical talent?

I have to say that Schmitz is very self-aware, of course, this is to put it nicely.

To put it badly, they are just messing around.

How could this person be the opponent of a real high-level bastard like O'Neill?
too soft.

He was easily knocked into the air by O'Neal, and only the basket was left when he turned around.

Bang-dang-!
O'Neill jumped up and hung himself on the southeast branch.

0 to 6! !
Off the court, Pacers coach Larry Bird frowned.

He had thought that the Pacers would not be able to beat the Lakers, but he never expected such a start.

Leaning to one side.

How to adjust this?
The offensive opportunity came up, and you couldn't make the shot?
As a head coach, I can't go up and shoot, can I?

No way, just look at the situation again.

Li Mu's side is comfortable.

O'Neill's thighs are not fun, but they are thick enough to be hugged tightly.

He will take you off.

"The Pacers attack, Mark Jackson passes, Jalen Rose triple-threats, starts, accelerates, drives inside.

This is a bit difficult.

Dive headlong into the tight defense of the Lakers.

There is no good opportunity to make a move, so I will force it..."

Snapped--!
Big Ben and Bowen flew up at the same time, and the two of them flew out the basketball fan almost at the same time.

If it weren't for Bowen to block the shot a little faster.

This cover is called Shuangfei.

With this defense, it was like welding the defense of the penalty area to death.

The basketball was snatched by Kobe again, his body rushed up, accelerated, and shook off Reggie Miller visibly.

Anxious, Miller directly grabbed Kobe's jersey. Seeing that he couldn't hold it, he immediately threw himself at Kobe's body, trying to make a foul to stop Kobe's attack this round.

It's called being experienced.

However, Kobe was pulled by Miller, there was a beep, and the referee's whistle sounded, but Kobe's offense did not stop. From outside the three-point line, he made a three-step layup and made an aerial pick.

Swish-!
The basketball hits the net.

At this time, the fans and audience in the arena applauded and cheered.

Kobe played too well, too tough.

Taking a deep breath, Kobe stood at the free throw line and steadily threw the basketball into the basket.

Swish-!
0 to 9! !
At this time, Larry Bird directly called a timeout, and immediately said to his disciple, "I don't remember anyone who taught you how to play.

Missing consecutive open shots, just because it is the stage of the finals, does it make you so excited that you can't make it to the basket?
Remember, no one will remember you as the runner-up, No.2 is the biggest loser. "

"Talk about the tactics, we have to suppress the speed, fight for speed, your old legs and feet can't compete with the young Lakers.

Offensively, it was still Reggie's off-ball that disrupted the Lakers' defensive lineup, and others looked for open opportunities.

Then, throw that damn basketball into the hoop. "

"Defense, next, we have to block the paint and let the Lakers shoot away from the basket.

Only by forcing the Lakers to shoot with us can we win the game.

Did you hear that? !

We can win, but first calm down and try to shoot the basketball into the basket first.

This request is not difficult, right? "

After Larry Bird finished speaking, his eyes swept to the player's face.

Seeing that their faces were full of confidence, they nodded.

After the timeout, the lineups of both sides remain unchanged.

On the court, the Pacers attacked.

Mark Jackson dribbles upfield.

At this point, Miller and Schmitz played an off-ball pick-and-roll.

After all, O'Neal sat in the penalty area and didn't make a save.

With Schmitz's pick-and-roll, Reggie Miller received the ball from the three-point line and got another open shot.

He took a glance, lifted the ball, jumped up, shot...

Bang-dang-!
No one could believe that Miller, as a historical level shooter, missed consecutive shots in such a crucial game.

The rebound was taken by O'Neal.

It was a two-for-one situation, with Dale Davis averaging 9 points and 10 rebounds per game.

And O'Neal and Big Ben are both at the 11+ level.

If they were not on the same team, their rebounds would be even more dazzling.

O'Neal and Big Ben, whoever is replaced will be in a crushing situation.

Billups dribbled upfield, found the Pacers shrinking, and blocked O'Neal's run.

Steady, he was not in a hurry to attack.

Watching Kobe run off the ball.

Reggie Miller ran after Bryant.

With O'Neal's screen, Bryant easily ran back to the weak side.

Billups passes the ball like a scalpel.

Catch the ball, lift it up, and Kobe makes a shot.

Dale Davis's defensive center of gravity shifted, and he jumped out.

In Kobe's eyes, not only the basket, but also Ben.

Snapped--!
One hit the ground and sent the basketball directly to Big Ben's stomach.

Bang-dang-!
Big Ben's whole body is hung on the basket.

0 to 11! !
On the commentary stage, Mike Busson, Marv Albert didn't know how to explain.

The start of the finals turned out to be a one-sided situation.

It was too difficult for the narrator.
