NBA Backer King Chapter 561

   Chapter 561 The 12th crown! Four crowns!

Before    went on the court, the silver fox Harris discussed with Pharaoh, let him attract defense in the low position, and let Richmond play a wave, he agreed.

Jordan chose to defend Kobe, but Kobe didn't arrange for him to attack today. Richmond performed well today. He has scored 18 points in three quarters and shot 49%. He shot a lot in the third quarter. Although it was a hook attack, it was also consumed. If you have some physical strength, it is good to take a rest first.

  Silver Fox is indeed a bit cunning, and this tactic is correct. As usual, after the end of the quarter, the Lakers' offense will definitely be led by Pharaoh, so the Knicks' defensive focus is still on Pharaoh's body, and they were caught off guard.

   Within 6 minutes, Richmond made 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points in the half quarter, blowing up Charlie Ward.

   However, Jordan also scored 6 points with a penalty shot, so after the half-quarter, the Lakers only led by 3 points.

   "Mickey, did you feel good today? I didn't feel good in the third quarter, or you will continue to play next." The Knicks called a timeout, and Pharaoh said when they came off the court.

   "No, you have to come, your efficiency is higher and more stable."

  Richmond shook his head quickly, as an outsider, he is too tactile, what if he feels cold next? He doesn't want to lose this game because of himself, as long as he wins, he will be the championship, and he doesn't want to mess around at critical moments.

   "Okay, don't hit me." Old Wang nodded.

   Harris also did not agree to let the Rock continue the main attack, because Jordan will definitely come to defend Richmond and control the Lakers' perimeter offense.

   "Old K, coach, how about letting me do it?" Kobe said tentatively.

"you?"

  Pharaoh glanced at Kobe and looked at Harris.

After the    timeout, the Knicks attacked.

  Phil Jackson saw that Old K's defense at the basket was too strong today, and made tactical adjustments to prevent O'Neal from scoring.

   But this doesn't mean giving up O'Neal's basket attack, but taking the initiative to make room for Jordan to break through. After Jordan rushes in, O'Neal goes in again, so that we can team up for two-on-one, so that Old K can defend this, but not that.

"boom!"

  O'Neal hung over the basket.

   "What's so special!"

   Pharaoh scolded secretly, knowing that the Knicks finally made up their minds and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to let O'Neal go directly to the basket.

   In this way, he must face Qiao Sha and join forces again.

   However, is Jordan still moving? He was suspicious.

  96:97, Lakers offense.

  Jordan really caught up with Richmond and was expected by Harris.

   Richmond pulled to the left wing, close to the left line, Kobe was at the top of the arc, against Charlie Ward, and Fox was on the right wing.

   "Boom!"

   Tieshan leaned down, and after Kobe knocked back Charlie Ward, he turned around and smashed to the basket with the ball.

  O'Neal and Oakley returned to the defense at the same time, but their speed did not keep up. Their physical energy was consumed too much, and some of them couldn't run.

   And Kobe had a lot of rotation time. He didn't play much in the second quarter, and he only played half of the third quarter. Now he is in a state of vigor and vitality. When he got in, it was a flying dunk that rang the Knicks' basket.

   That's right, at the most critical time, Harris was also very courageous, because the Knicks would definitely think that it was the old K who dominated the offense, so he did the opposite and let Kobe attack with the ball.

   He knew that Old K was very tired, and Kobe's physical fitness was okay, and Kobe's singles against Charlie Ward belonged to a dislocation, so it should be no problem.

   His idea was also supported by Pharaoh just now, and Kobe even raised his hands in approval.

   And this attack proved his decision was right.

   Turning around, Jordan broke through with the ball. Sure enough, his physical fitness was not enough, and his breakthrough speed was not as good as before. He was caught up by Kobe, who had better physical fitness, and then was double-teamed by Hill. He forced a fallback jumper and missed.

   Buckley sighed: "Michael can't do it. Even if his will is as strong as iron, no matter how strong his will is, he can't break through the limits of his body."

Kenny Smith said: "His consumption in G5 is too much, and he is just persevering today. I guess it is also on the old K side. There used to be a burst in the last quarter, but now there is no. However, the Lakers still have a deeper lineup, and the Knicks should Can't get it back."

   Bill Walton said: "On the Knicks' main lineup, only Jordan can attack with the ball, Charlie Ward's ability is not enough, and the others do not have the ability to attack with the ball.

   On the Lakers side, except for Old K, Kobe, and Richmond, they can all attack with the ball, which can give Old K some time to breathe.

  Compared with the lineup, the Lakers are more reasonable. The Knicks have two super large contracts, O'Neal and Jordan. The space for the lineup construction is not as good as the Lakers, which will also affect the final result. "

   Within three minutes, Kobe and Richmond each scored another goal, and no matter which one Jordan chose to guard, the Lakers' offense would avoid him and go to the other.

On the Knicks side, Jordan suddenly stopped moving, Joe Shark was not connected enough, so he could only fight on his own. Fortunately, Jordan made a three-pointer on Kobe's head, and O'Neal made a drop shot in the head of Pharaoh. The score was still the same. bite hard.

   There were three minutes left at the end, 101:103, the Knicks trailed by two points away, and the Lakers had the ball.

  Phil Jackson called a timeout early, mainly to give Jordan and O'Neal a short respite.

   "Old K, I'll leave it to you next." Harris said to Pharaoh.

  Pharaoh nodded. His teammates did their best. In this quarter, he only defended and grabbed rebounds. He didn't attack. He saved some energy and needed to exert his strength.

On the Knicks side, Phil Jackson said: "In the last three minutes, the old K will definitely exert his strength this time, Shaq, you must resist him and not let him get close to the basket."

   O'Neal, who was panting like a cow, nodded slightly, wiped off his sweat, and the beaded sweat immediately spread on his forehead.

  Phil Jackson said to Jordan again: "Michael, I know you are tired, but you have to persevere."

  Jordan and O'Neal looked the same, they were so tired that they didn't even chew gum. They drank energy drinks in large gulps, sweat dripping down, and when they heard the words, they nodded slightly and didn't speak.

  TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "Now I make it clear that the Knicks will lose this time."

   "Why?" Kenny Smith asked in the capacity of a fan.

Barkley shook his head and smiled smugly: "Because Michael and the big shark can't move, and K has been water skiing at the end, his physical fitness is better than the two, you say, the Knicks in the last three minutes Can you withstand Old K's attack?"

   Bill Wharton and Kenny Smith looked at each other and shook their heads.

After the    timeout, the Lakers attacked.

  Pharaoh went straight from the free throw line into the paint.

   "Damn it!"

  O'Neal felt bitter in his heart, so he could only stand down and start fighting.

   With the strength of Pharaoh, he carried O'Neal abruptly and approached the reasonable collision zone, then turned around, stuck the latter, and began to ask for the ball.

   O'Neal's legs were a little weak, and he really didn't have much strength. He was stuck behind and struggled again, and then gave up the hand-to-hand combat.

  Phil Jackson sighed inwardly when he saw this scene. Although he knew that the old K's physical fitness was not very good at this time, but the old K did not attack at the end. Looking at the current situation, his physical fitness was stronger than O'Neal.

   In order to avoid Jordan's defense, Kobe had given the ball to Richmond, who immediately passed the ball in the past.

   "Di!"

  Pharaoh caught the ball and stood up sideways, but O'Neal pulled it down directly, and the whistle rang.

   "O'Neal made four fouls. I estimate that the next Knicks offense will be carried out by Jordan. O'Neal can't be moved. If he is forced to attack, the old K should not cut him, but only defend him." Barkley said.

   "Jordan should not be able to move anymore, the last bit of fuel has been used up." Kenny Smith said.

   Next, Pharaoh missed the first penalty, but hit the second penalty, 101:104, the Lakers led by 3 points.

  The Knicks attacked, and Jordan received the ball in half court.

   He is now very eager to have a "Pippen". The existence of Pippen can reduce his physical consumption a lot and can also share a considerable amount of defensive pressure for him.

  Unfortunately, no, he can only provoke all the responsibilities and pressures on the outside.

   While dribbling the ball, he carried the small hand that Kobe was trying to steal. He observed O'Neal, expecting the big shark to enter the basket, but was disappointed. This time, the big shark was blocked from the paint area by old K.

  Pharaoh is not a fool. Until now, Jordan has no physical strength, which means that he has no ability to break through. What is he afraid of connecting with Qiao Shark? So he can't put the shark in the basket either.

   Jordan had no choice but to do it himself. He called Oakley's pick-and-roll. After getting rid of Kobe, he stepped into the three-point line and made a pull-up jumper before Hill switched defenses.

"brush!"

  The water splashed and hit two points from far.

   "That's right! You can't run anymore, your hands are still so steady!" Su Qun sighed.

   "He is like this. The NBA is the closest person to God. If there is no Iron Army, he should have a dynasty in his hands now, and maybe he has created a myth." Zhang Lili praised.

  103:104, Lakers offense.

  Pharaoh still entered the basket. With his movements, O'Neal, who was on top defense, retreated step by step. The big shark, who had no physical strength, couldn't stand it at all.

The ball was passed in, Pharaoh suddenly jumped forward, and after catching the ball in the air, he turned around, and when he landed, he was already in a basket. Then, with a short and rapid step, he held the ball high in his right hand and faced O'Neal. Body violent.

"boom!"

   "Di!"

   "Boom!"

   The sound of smashing the basket, the whistle, the sound of the human body hitting the floor, sounded successively.

   "Boom!"

   Great Western Forum Arena, the shouts erupted immediately.

   "Beautiful! Old K still has spare power. He dunked Shaquille O'Neal every once in a while, making it two plus one. O'Neal made five fouls! Our victory is in sight! The championship is in sight!" A live commentator roared excitedly.

   "O'Neal can't get up." Bill Walton shook his head.

   "It's not that I'm injured, it's that I'm too tired to get up. I'm like this a lot of times. I fall down and just want to lie down and can't get up." Barkley said.

   In the CCTV live broadcast, Su Qun said excitedly: "It's beautiful, this ball, Lao K took a step up to catch the ball, and didn't give O'Neal a chance to cut him."

   Zhang Lili said with a smile: "I said it at the beginning, as long as the first few games are held up, the physical advantage of the Lakers will be reflected later.

   Now O'Neal and Jordan are obviously unable to move, especially O'Neal, the tonnage is too large, and the physical strength is not as durable as the Iron Army. "

   "Shaq?"

   "I'm fine, hooho..."

On the court, Jordan walked to the basket, and after asking a question, he stretched out his hands to the panting O'Neal, pulled it, but did not pull it up, Oakley ran over, and the two joined forces to pull the exhausted shark. up.

  Pharaoh stood on the side, but he didn't have the idea to help. If he went up to help him at this time, it would be called capitalizing on the enemy.

"brush!"

   Then he added a free throw, 103:107, and the Lakers led by 4 points.

  Jordan came to the left wing of the frontcourt, on the same side as O'Neal, took the ball and made a tactical gesture, and then began to attack.

  The Lakers' defensive formation also immediately moved to the left.

   At this moment, Dale Ellis on the right-wing three-point line suddenly accelerated and moved to the right bottom corner. After Fox caught up, he suddenly ran back and got rid of the defender.

   "Squeak!"

  Fox made an emergency stop and ran back, but he was already a step behind.

   "Whoosh!"

  Jordan threw his hands violently, and the ball flew to Ellis like a shooting star.

"Snapped!"

When Ellis caught the ball, defender Fox was still a step away, and he took off immediately.

   At this time, Fox jumped with all his strength.

   But at this moment, the experienced Ellis was short in stature.

"Oops!"

   Fox, who flew past Ellis, was startled.

   The next moment, Ellis got up a second time, this time he really jumped.

   But at this moment, Teilon Hill below had pounced on him, took off against Ellis, stretched his right arm as best he could, and blocked the cover with one hand.

"what?"

   Ellis, who was about to shoot, could only adjust the angle of the shot upward, and the ball flew out of the basket.

   Under the basket, Pharaoh has blocked O'Neal, and Oakley also threw himself into the paint area.

"boom!"

The    was a little shorter, and the ball bounced off the basket.

"mine!"

Pharaoh struggled to take off and picked up the rebound on Oakley's head with his height advantage. When he landed, he put his hands together, swinging his elbows sideways, forcing Oakley and O'Neal back. With a throw of both hands, the ball flew towards the Kobe Bryant.

   Kobe Bryant took one step ahead of Jordan with his physical advantage, and quickly slammed to the basket after catching the ball.

  Jordan tried his best to keep up, but he couldn't catch up. When he reached the top of the arc, Kobe in front had already taken off, so he had to slow down helplessly.

"boom!"

   Kobe Bryant's Tomahawk-style dunk ignited the Great Western Forum Arena.

   "103:109, the Lakers have a 6-point lead, and the Knicks can't hold it anymore." Barkley shook his head.

   "No way." Bill Walton and Kenny Smith also said.

   But Jordan still didn't give up, but unfortunately his physical fitness was really gone. Under Kobe's stalking, he missed a three-pointer.

"boom!"

   Turning his head, Pharaoh went straight to the basket, and once again used a dunk to overturn the big shark O'Neal.

   This deduction completely defeated O'Neal's will. He fell on the floor and did not get up for a long time.

   "Get ready, it's time to celebrate."

   At this time, the staff of the Great Western Forum Arena got busy.

   A few minutes later, with a whistle, the expected moment came.

   "Boom!"

  The Great Western Forum is in a frenzy.

   As "We Are The Champions" blared, endless streamer crumbs fell from the sky and everyone was bathed in it.

   "Boom!"

  Fengshen Street South Street, the cheers of tens of thousands of people overwhelmed everything.

   "Congratulations to the Lakers for their 12th championship." Bill Walton laughed.

   "Congratulations to Mr. K for winning his fourth championship and defending his championship." Barkley said with envy.

   "Congratulations to Richmond, you scored 22 points in this game, you won the first championship of your career." Kenny Miss said.

   Barkley laughed: "At the same time, congratulations to Chris Mullin and Mark Price, you two old guys made the right decision, and congratulations to you for realizing your dream of a championship."

   On the CCTV live broadcast, Su Qun said excitedly: "Congratulations to the Lakers for their 12th championship! Congratulations to Lao K for their fourth championship.

   This is a personal title defense belonging to the old K. He led his team to win consecutive championships in different teams as a core. "

   Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Winning the championship four to two is the best result. The Iron Army used this championship to prove that the Lakers traded him was the right choice."

After the two talked about it, Su Qun picked up the statistics table and read: "In this game, Lao K scored 38 points, 21 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 7 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, and the shooting rate was as high as 64%.

   Richmond performed well in this game, scoring 22 points and shooting 44.5%, which is the second scoring point for the Lakers in this game.

   Kobe Bryant scored 19 points, shot 48.5%, and sent out 8 assists, and his performance was also outstanding. "

Zhang Lili said: "For the Knicks, Jordan scored 36 points, Shaquille O'Neal scored 32 points, and the two teamed up for 68 points, but the Knicks have no third person to score in double figures except for the two, which is an important factor for the Knicks to lose. one of the reasons."

Su Qun nodded and said: "The first three points of the Lakers combined to contribute 79 points. The scoring ability of the main lineup is no worse than that of the Knicks. At the same time, in rebounding, the Lakers have 11 more points, so although O'Neal and Jordan teamed up for 68 points, Also lost the game."

   Zhang Lili said: "In the six finals, O'Neal averaged 29.8 points, Jordan 37.3 points, and the Iron Army 42.3 points.

  Jordan is really strong, at this age, with 37.3 points in the finals, a semi-divine performance. "

  Su Qun said with a smile: "It's a pity that the Lakers' lineup is still a bit stronger. The eight major rotation lineups are all in battle, and Old K is another pillar of strength. Together, they wiped out the Knicks."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The Iron Army has played four finals and won the championship four times, with a winning rate of 100%. A total of 21 finals, with a total score of 836 points, an average of 39.8 points per game, the first in history. I just don't know if he will have any in the future. Opportunity to break the mark of 40+ per game in the finals."

  Su Qun smiled and said: "The four finals, all against Jordan, the winning rate is 100%, the media really got it right."

   Zhang Lili sighed and said, "Jordan will be booed by the media this time. He lost one, two, three, and now four. He will be very sad at the Knicks, and the New York media and fans will definitely attack him.

   The New York media and fans are so harsh, whether it's Jordan or O'Neal, I guess it's Phil Jackson, and it's inevitable to be scolded this time. "
