Chapter 607 Sweeping the Lakers and advancing to the Finals
O'Neill couldn't hear the boss's roar. He was very flustered and confused, and at the same time regretted it very much. If he hadn't gone out in the summer and practiced free throws instead, wouldn't there be the scene today? In the current game, he failed to score a goal at the free throw line, and the Grizzlies just grabbed his point and beat him to death. It's really abominable, abominable.
The time left for the Lakers is really running out. O'Neal received the ball and he was about to dunk, but Augstagg insisted on using brute force to make O'Neal's dunk fail.Standing on the free throw line, O'Neal was extremely frightened. Looking at the basket not far from him, O'Neal chose to take a shot. Duang, the first goal was missed, and the Lakers fans sighed. O'Neal is fine with everything but this free throw is too stupid.In the second penalty, O'Neill was even more uncertain. He just threw the ball into the air when he got the ball. He didn't dare to watch it at all, but the ball actually scored.
O'Neal scored a point through free throws, which is a rare thing for the Lakers, but the crisis has not been resolved. Unless O'Neal makes all free throws, the Grizzlies' foul tactics are still effective. Compared with the bench, the Grizzlies are undoubtedly better. O'Neill's potential general manager, the man with the logo, is also very clear about O'Neal's shortcomings, free throws are rare, he doesn't like to participate in defense, his life off the court is abnormally loose, and he has no professionalism at all. Play like this.
With less than 2 minutes left in the game, the Grizzlies took the lead. The 20-point lead in the first half was completely gone in the fourth quarter. Although Xiao Tian did not move at 65 points, the Lakers fans had already felt the familiar fear of Xiao Tian's dominance. For four years, every year, every time they met, whether it was home or away, the Lakers faced the Grizzlies. , The shooting rate is as high as 35%. He is not one of the teams with the most experience in playing the Lakers.
The Grizzlies' offensive opportunity, at this time, every minute and every second is very precious to the Lakers. Xiao Tian controls the time and observes the positions of his teammates. The Lakers' defense is really going all out, and O'Neal does not continue to retreat inside. But is it too late? The ball missed, and then knocked on the rim. It looked like it was going to roll off the rim, but it didn't come off, and then wobbled and fell into the rim. The entire Staples fans were stunned at this moment. Xiao Tian's three-pointer was really terrible. If it is used well, then the Lakers may not really have no chance.Zen Master didn't call a timeout, but replaced Horry and Glen Rice. Kukoc's performance in this game can only be considered average. He played very well in the first half, with various series of assists, but when Xiao Tian caught up with the score, the Croatian had no choice but to disappear.
The two people who came up are shooting three-pointers. At present, the five players of the Lakers can shoot three-pointers except for O'Neal. This is a great test for the Grizzlies' defense. In the next offensive round, O'Neal actually took the initiative to come out and do a pick-and-roll. Kobe roared, he withstood the pressure, all the Lakers fans stood up, they still have a chance, as long as they guard against the next Grizzlies attack, they still have a chance.
The Grizzlies did not call a timeout this time, but served directly from the backcourt. In less than a minute, Payton and Kobe chose to double-team Xiao Tian, but Xiao Tian seemed to have expected it. A high lob, just like a pass on a football field, found Duncan who was unguarded in the interior. Duncan took the ball and easily scored a layup.
The entire Staples Center fell into silence again. At this moment, frustration began to spread from the hearts of the Lakers players. Under such circumstances, Xiao Tian was able to pass the ball calmly. It was really a terrible thing. This guy did not make a single pass in this game, which is simply impossible for a point guard. After losing, the Lakers were once again blocked by the Grizzlies from the Finals. The Lakers made a comeback, and they made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals, but they still couldn’t get a victory against the Grizzlies. It’s over, it’s really over. This defeat also marks the disintegration of the Big Five of the Lakers.
There was no sound in the box of Old Buss, the faces of the core members of the entire Buss family were ugly, and it was a fruitless season, which meant that Jim Buss had failed in his decision to be the president. Jenny Buss couldn't help showing a few surprises in her heart. Only when Jim Buss couldn't make any achievements could she have the opportunity to take charge of the Lakers, because in the heart of Old Buss, Jim Buss was far more important than her own daughter.
The game is over, the Grizzlies once again won the Western Conference Championship, and entered the finals for two consecutive years. Absolutely the highest. He has a basketball talent and IQ that surpass ordinary people, but he doesn't have good professionalism, so since he came to Los Angeles, he has always been Xiao Tian's defeat. The confrontation between the two of them, Xiao Tian is on that commanding height.
This season is the best opportunity for the Lakers, but the Lakers' style of play has not changed because of the arrival of Zen Master. Zen Master, the five-time coach, seems to be too optimistic about the Lakers lineup, so he did not force the players to implement their own tactics, because the Lakers have superstars, and they can win the championship even if they rely on singles.
It's just a pity that the Zen master thought too well, and the Grizzlies gave him a blow to the head, which made the five-crowned coach start to wake up.
Xiao Tian created a lot of records in this game, 68 points is also the highest score of his career, and the gold content is even higher in the playoffs. Many scoring records are in the regular season, and there is no way to compare the regular season and the playoffs. Xiao Tian is really a battle.
Xiao Tian went to the press conference because he was one of the team's biggest contributors in this game. Without his 38 points in the second half, the Grizzlies would have no way to reverse the situation, so the reporters' questions were all centered on this topic. The five-time crown coach Zen Master was completely a decoration, and no one cared about his life. Zen Master has always been the darling of that kind of press conference, but today he has become an abandoned baby.
"In this game of heaven, you scored 68 points and broke Michael Jordan's playoff scoring record. Do you have anything to say?"
Xiao Tian looked at the reporter and thought for a while, "Well, it's okay, I just thought I couldn't lose, I lost here, so I kept shooting and scoring, and I didn't expect to score all of them."
What a slap in the face. Before the game, the Lakers players swore that they would not let the Grizzlies get a high score. The victory would belong to Los Angeles. But in the end, Xiao Tian violently scored 38 points in the second half, leading the Grizzlies to sweep the Lakers in the playoffs for the second consecutive season. The loss of the Lakers against Xiao Tian and the Grizzlies is still continuing. What a sad thing.
The reporters felt internal injuries in the audience, but if they laughed, it would be tantamount to offending the Lakers. This is the facade of the NBA, so they can only endure it.
"What do you think is the key to your victory over the Lakers?"
This question is also very acute.
Xiao Tian already had the answer in his heart, "The key is that we face the Lakers in this round of the series, not as a winner, but as a challenger. Their Big Five is the only one in the league anyway, and no one can change this. If we want to win, we must make ourselves the best. We are glad that we have all done it." Xiao Tian's answer made the reporter group silent for a while. Unexpectedly, he did not do this, but did the opposite. However, Xiao Tian’s words made Zen master hot. His face really hurt. Before this season, Zen master saw the Lakers’ lineup and felt that this year’s championship was stable. where is it.
After the press conference, Xiao Tian and his teammates returned to Vancouver. They had a long rest time to wait for their opponents in the finals. As for the defeated Lakers, it's better not to rub salt on the opponent's wounds at this time. It's always good to have a higher attitude as a winner.
But the Lakers were defeated, Zen Master and O'Neal were pushed to the forefront, and the person who was roasted on the fire at the same time was the executive president Jim Buss. "We can't go on like this. We have to make changes. Jenny, you just said that Shaq would be exchanged for Xiao Tian. Is this true? Do you really think that with Xiao Tian coming, the Lakers will be the champions?"
The Lakers are really at the end of the road by the Grizzlies, and now O'Neal is like James in the historical space, but the only consolation is that the Lakers have entered the playoffs, and when James came to the Lakers, the Lakers were still continuing to fish, and the Lakers at that time were much more chaotic than they are now.
"Yes, father, I think now is the best time for us to get rid of Shaq. If Xiao Tian can come, then we will have Kobe and Payton's Big Three combination. Compared with the combination of Kobe, O'Neal and Payton, the biggest advantage of this combination is that they can all defend, and the three of them are excellent in one-on-one and defensive ability. With Xiao Tian's go-between, the Lakers' offense will definitely be much smoother than it is now. In terms of organizing the team, I think the current Xiao Tian is no different from Irvin in his heyday. The points are up and down, and compared to Irwin, his three-pointers are better. If he can come, maybe we can play showtime again. "
Pat Riley nodded crazily on the side. If O'Neal, an undisciplined guy, could swap clubs with Xiao Tian and become the head coach of the Lakers himself, wouldn't that be an enhanced showtime combination? As for Phil Jackson, who cares about the life and death of this loser?It's really good that he can keep from being fired by the Lakers.It's better not to expect too much about other things.
