The world's best combo guard

Chapter 234

Chapter 234

The San Antonio Spurs are too stable. After the start of the third quarter, maybe they expected the Lakers to make a crazy counterattack. Therefore, Gregg Popovich invested a lot of troops on the defensive end.

He doesn't ask that the team can continue to expand its lead during this period, he just hopes that the team can withstand the crazy counterattack of the Lakers.

Over and over again, over and over again, and over and over again.

Popovich determined that as long as they can withstand the crazy counterattack of the Lakers, then they really have a chance to win the game.

Obviously, Popovich's prediction was right. After the start of the third quarter, the Lakers did start a frenzied counterattack. Led by Li Hao and Kobe, they set off a frenzy of decisive shots on the offensive end.

But this night, God really didn’t seem to be on their side. No matter how decisive Li Hao and his team are, the basketball just couldn’t get into the basket. You can’t deny that the Spurs’ defensive end has done a great job in this, but you have to feel that, This night really does not belong to the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Clearly, the hoops at the Staples Center betrayed their real owners on this night"

Barkley shook his head and said.

He originally believed that the Lakers could reverse the score in the second half, but judging from the situation on the court, this possibility is gradually disappearing. After all, the most important thing about reversing the score is the shooting percentage. The areas are too well done and useless.

At the end of the third quarter, the expressions on Li Hao and Kobe's faces became more and more serious. This night was really a mess. Could it be that they really lost the game?

To be honest, this was no longer what they expected.

.........

78: 65!

When the fourth quarter game officially started, all the basketball fans who followed this game finally gradually believed in the fact that the unstoppable Zijin Army in the playoffs seemed to be ushering in their first playoffs loss tonight .

Of course, from a deeper point of view, when the Lakers lost the game at home tonight, all their efforts in the regular season may have come to naught, because it meant they lost their home court advantage.

The San Antonio Spurs have always been a team with a better home record than away games. Now they can win a game at Staples, which means that they are also capable of winning at home.

At this time, many people have new ideas about this series that was recognized as an [-]-year-old series not long ago. Perhaps the San Antonio Spurs are far from being as weak as they thought.

"We have to re-examine this San Antonio Spurs team, their professional attitude is far better than imagined"

"Yes, this top team that has won the O'Brien Cup twice in the past five years should not have been ignored by us. They have Tim Duncan, a guy who could single-handedly challenge the peak Shaq"

"Yeah, this unsmiling guy from Wake Forest doesn't look like Shaq's body, but he's got incredible energy in him."

.........

The fourth quarter is starting, but there's more and more talk about the Spurs, about Tim Duncan.

For a long time, people have positioned the focus of this series on the Zijin Gemini. For the low-key San Antonio Spurs, people have chosen to ignore it as always.

But now it's different...

On the court, Li Hao patted his right calf. During a board grab earlier, he knocked it here and felt a little sore.

However, judging from the look in Li Hao's eyes at this moment, he still did not give up on this game, even though many people already thought that the Spurs would win this game, even though the Spurs are now leading by 13 points.

But in Li Hao's view, 13 points is not an unattainable point difference.

Kobe also had the same idea as him at the moment. Kobe made 18 of 4 shots in the first three quarters and only scored 10 points. He was even worse than Li Hao.

However, his gaze still reveals determination.

.........

"It seems that the Los Angeles Lakers are going to lose this game. Well, they are finally going to break their undefeated gold. For us, meeting them in the finals, at least there will not be so much pressure. "

In the Miami Heat training hall, all the Heat players did not choose to leave after training in the afternoon. They stayed collectively to watch the second game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Spurs.

For them, they have set their goal to the finals, and the Detroit Pistons may not be able to stop them.

Moreover, they are also optimistic that the Lakers can stand out in the Western Conference Finals, and then meet them in the Finals.

To be honest, the pressure of meeting the Lakers in the Finals is still obvious to them. They can ignore the Detroit Pistons, but they have to be [-]% formal with the Lakers, because in terms of hard power and regular season record, the Lakers are indeed stronger. to them.

At this time, when they saw that the Spurs led by 13 points after the first three quarters, Dwyane Wade took the lead to break the silence. He took a deep breath and said.

"The San Antonio Spurs actually did a miracle. They looked like they were going to take the game away from Staples, who hadn't won in the regular season."

"Obviously, the Lakers were terrible offensively tonight"

.........

When Wade spoke first, the entire Heat players also started talking.

Except for one person.

That is Shaquille O'Neal, who was inextricably linked with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Shark frowned at this time and carefully watched the performances of both players on the TV.

To be precise, he was paying attention to the expressions of Kobe and Li Hao.

And when he saw the same resolute expression in Li Hao's and Kobe's eyes, he felt a little bit in his heart.

This expression is all too familiar to him, especially Kobe, who has seen it more than once in the past seven years.

"Guys, don't talk about it. The game is not over yet. The San Antonio Spurs are only leading by 13 points. With a full quarter left in the game, the Spurs may not be the winner of the game."

O'Neal's remarks made the locker room quiet. Everyone looked at O'Neal with some doubts. No one understood why O'Neal said these words at this time. According to what he meant, the Lakers still had a chance to come back.

Everyone knows that O'Neal has played for the Lakers for a long time, and also knows that he has cooperated with the Zijin Gemini.

However, if you want to wipe out the 13-point difference from the San Antonio Spurs in one quarter, that's really not a joke!

"The fourth quarter has already started, let's see what kind of trend this game will develop into"

Barkley rubbed his temples. He has become more and more hopeless about the Lakers. If it is the regular season, maybe he will report some hopes. If the Lakers team is not the Spurs, he will still have some hopes.

However, the Lakers teammate in this game is the Spurs, so that is another matter.

.........

As soon as Li Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he was double-teamed by the Spurs. Ginobili and Parker rushed towards him.

This is their usual tactic in this game. Whether it is Li Hao or Kobe who takes the ball, they will face this kind of treatment.

If it is when both of them feel good, to be honest, they can handle this kind of defense. As superstars and top scorers in the league, it is a compulsory course to get it in the face of double teams.

However, now they feel bad.

In this case, when they encounter double-teaming again, they really can only strike iron.

Faced with Ginobili and Parker's double-teaming, this time, Li Hao still did not choose to back down. He still decided to shoot very firmly, but he just didn't believe that the touch would not recover.

At the top of the arc, Li Hao quickly adjusted his body balance. Facing the defense of the Spurs, he opened his hand and hit a three-pointer.

Staples fans are used to Li Hao's shot selection in this game, but it seems that they haven't seen Li Hao hit even one shot tonight.

This ball, to be honest, everyone no longer had any hope.

Among them, some fans even complained about Li Hao. They complained that Li Hao was too tough. Maybe Li Hao shouldn't shoot like this. Maybe Li Hao chose to hide and pass some balls and sort out the team's offense. To unexpected effect.

"Swish"

"Yes!"

But this time, a miracle happened.

The entire Staples Center instantly fell into madness because of Li Hao's three-pointer.

"Haha, Lakers No. 7 finally hit his first three-pointer of the game. Before that, he made 0 of [-] three-pointers"

"It's so hard, of course, is this going to be the game-changer?"

Someone came to the spirit.

Swish!

Well, that was just a 8-of-1 [-]-pointer that didn't look like it meant much.

Just when some fans had a glimmer of hope, they turned around and Manu Ginobili also hit a three-pointer.

Li Hao gritted his teeth, he wasn't discouraged by Ginobili's response to the three-pointer, he just had a different feeling suddenly.

To be precise, he had a familiar feeling, and the shooting rhythm seemed to appear at that moment.

and so.

Swish!

Lee, it's Lee again!

Lee hit another three-pointer.

10 points!

The point difference was narrowed to 10 points again.

"Derrick Fisher throws the ball to Caron Butler, Caron doesn't have a chance against Horry's defense, left corner, huh? Lee's in that position"

"Lee was in an unguarded position"

Swish!

Again!

boom!

Perhaps this moment was the loudest cheer that erupted at Staples Center tonight.

When Li Hao hit three three-pointers in a row, the arena, which had been silent all night, finally returned to its former hustle and bustle like a tide.

7 points!

Less than 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, under Li Hao's three-pointer offensive, the point difference was forced to close to single digits. To be honest, an impossible miracle seems to be happening...

Gregg Popovich immediately requested a timeout.

"Fuck! Why did you leave out the Lakers' No. [-]?"

The Spurs bench, Gregg Popovich, who had been silent for a long time, was directly furious, even though the object of his fury now was the other two in the gdp combination.

"Defense like shit, are you fucking awake?"

Popovich did not shy away from scolding, and all the Lakers fans who were closer to the Spurs bench could hear it.

For the Lakers fans, they were a little surprised by Popovich's fury in an instant. They didn't understand why Popovich was so furious. You must know that they are still leading by 7 points.

"Greg is angry, but honestly, we can understand his anger. After all, three three-pointers are not just for the Lakers to close the point difference to single digits. It means playing a whole game. Iron Li is back, so what does it mean when his harvest is declared back, I think, everyone is clear."

Charles Barkley saw it clearly.

"Give me that goddamn basketball, I've got the feeling, fuck it"

At the Lakers bench, the atmosphere was extremely hot at this time. After Li Hao swallowed a mouthful of Gatorade, he roared at the Lakers players.

Of course, everyone is very happy to see Li Hao's roaring state, because it means that Li Hao's state has really returned.

"Trust Lee and try to give Lee the ball"

Rudy Tom and Norwich naturally chose to trust Li Hao without hesitation.

The game continued, the Spurs' offense, facing Tony Parker who was holding the ball, Li Hao unexpectedly completed the steal from Parker's hand abruptly.

"Hiss, a steal from Lee"

"bang"

A 360-degree dunk at the basket completely made Staples boil.

5 points!

The gap was further narrowed.

"The Zijin Legion is on the rise. To be precise, the Lakers officially announced their return on the [-]th"

"Okay, this is the fucking Western Conference Finals, this is the real fucking matchup"

"There is no doubt that the previous talk can stop, we must refocus on the field, and the suspense of this game has returned."

"Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, well, Lee with the ball was double-teamed by the Spurs"

Swish!

Hit again.

The entire arena went completely crazy, with the sound of mountains and tsunamis one after another.

The fans even stood up because of excitement.

MVP!

MVP!

MVP!

The fans of the Zijin Legion are definitely not stingy. At this moment, in their eyes, Li Hao is the mvp

On the sidelines, Gregg Popovich didn't say a word. He just shook his head helplessly. What he was most worried about happened. He led most of the game, but it was still futile after all.

In the Lakers' next offensive round, Li Hao, who was holding the ball, was double-teamed by three people again.

This time, Li Hao chose to pass the ball. Unbelievably, he insisted on passing the ball to Kobe who came forward to meet him in a three-person double-team.

Then, because the Spurs double-teamed Li Hao, Tim Duncan had to pull to the high position, and the basket was empty.

"bang"

Dunk from Peter Pan Kobe Bryant.

Haha, Kobe also scored.

God, the omnipotent purple and gold twins we are familiar with seem to be all back...
