Chapter 168 Mr. Key! !
Chapter 168 Mr. Key! !
The Lakers arena was full of people, and every fan was enthusiastically discussing what happened in the first half!
"Hey, Billy, don't you think the Lakers are a little abnormal today?" A young Caucasian man asked his friend beside him with some doubts.
"What's the matter, Shaquille and the others are just a little tired. In the second half, they will definitely conquer the Warriors with a strong performance!"
"drop!!"
With the eager anticipation of the fans, the players of the two teams walked out of the player channel one after another.
Bruce looked excitedly at the Warriors players walking out of the tunnel, and from their temperament, he saw something different!
This team has matured a lot and has become a lot tougher. Among them, Carter is very confident!
Since the beginning of this season, the Warriors have stumbled all the way to the playoffs. They have lost to the bottom team in the league by a big score, and they have also been lucky enough to win against the super defensive Spurs!
When they took down the king led by Weber in the final battle of focus, everyone was slightly sublimated, and the immaturity on their faces was gradually replaced by maturity.
Now, when they lost to the Lakers with a narrow point difference in the first game, they didn't think it was such a bad thing. Instead, they surprisingly survived under the pressure exerted by the Lakers. A player loses confidence!
The two teams walked towards the rest area one after another. The coaches gave them a final explanation, and then the main players of both sides walked towards the court under the call of the referee!
"The Warriors are astonishing, Lenny's coaching ability is simply too exciting!" Kenny Smith looked at Nowitzki who was preparing to serve on the court, and thought of the creator of the situation in the first half , looked at Wilkens in admiration!
"This is where Lenny's charm lies!" Rick Barry said a little emotionally. Since he retired, although he has been playing the role of a commentator, he is very interested in the position of coach. Now Seeing this young team that excited him, he couldn't help thinking about it!
The moment Cassel received the ball, he and Nowitzki ran up the frontcourt in both directions, and all the way to the top arc three-point line with unabated speed!
The rest of the players seemed to have formed a tacit understanding. When Kassel stood still, the others ran quickly!
That's what Wilkens asked them to do!
Run, use non-stop running to find open shots, use non-stop running to create opportunities for yourself or your teammates, the Warriors players firmly implement the tactics formulated by Wilkens!
In this period when the game system has not been changed, if the Warriors lose two consecutive home games against the Lakers, even though they will return to their home games, the chances of advancing to the second round will be slim!
The Lakers players closely followed the Warriors players. Through the arrangement of midfielder Jackson and O'Neal's morale boost, they strengthened their defense at the beginning of the second quarter. At the same time, I felt the defensive pressure brought to them by the Lakers!
Cassel quickly handed the ball to Carter who just ran to the left three-point line, and then cut to the inside!
Fisher's strong body has inherent advantages compared to the somewhat thin Kassel, and he is very good in defense!
Seeing Cassell running to the inside, Fisher tried very hard to stick close to his side, so as to slow down the opponent's pace!
After receiving the pass, Carter first took a look at Kobe who was in front of him with his arms outstretched. In this series, both of them performed very well. The only difference was that Kobe had a little advantage in defense!
Carter stepped out suddenly with his right foot, put the ball behind him with his right hand, and bent his left arm forward to prevent Kobe's sneak attack.
After making this action, Carter quickly glanced at the running position of his teammates. Seeing that the time to stop the ball exceeded five seconds, Carter's shoulders suddenly shook after a very fast probe, and then he leaned on Kobe and rushed inside. over!
In the face of Carter's powerful impact, Kobe's body and strength are not dominant, but he can influence the opponent to further speed up with his extremely fast footsteps!
Seeing that he was about to rush into the inside line, O'Neal, who had already noticed Carter and the two, suddenly ran from the right side of the penalty area to the breakthrough route that Carter would most likely choose!
Under Kobe's delay, Carter's movements were a little jerky, but after seeing O'Neal's position, he rushed over with a determined expression!
Everyone thought that Carter would attack the inside toughly. When Carter approached O'Neal with a low hand and handed the ball to Dampier who entered the penalty area, there was a burst of exclamation in the stadium!
"boom!!"
A loud sound sounded from above Dampier. Glenn Rice, who was standing high on the right, ran to the inside very quickly after discovering O'Neal's action. Seeing Dampier catch the ball, he ran to the outside of the penalty area. Rice, with his arms wide open, jumped up without hesitation!
"Beautiful block!!" Kenny Smith excitedly looked at the hissing Rice, admiring the former team leader's ability!
"Eric could have stayed on the ball for a while, but he got a little impatient!" Seeing what happened on the field, Rick Barry shook his head regretfully!
Dampier, who received a pass from Carter, didn't notice the footsteps behind him, because he was extremely depressed in O'Neal's crushing defense and offense, and he was very eager to vent on the basket, but he was a little bit The impatience still brought some unnecessary subtle changes to his movements, and it was this little incongruity that made Rice cover the basketball right after the take-off, making Dampier miserable as a basketball player. One of the backgrounds for Rice's classic collection!
Bruce looked at the picture replayed on the big screen with regret, then glanced at Dampier with an ugly expression, and murmured, "I hope this is not the beginning of bad news!"
No matter how wonderful the picture is, there will always be an end for him. After the fans cheered Rice with the loudest volume, under the signal of the referee, Nowitzki stood solemnly at the bottom line!
Following the referee's whistle, Carter and the others ran quickly.
Seeing that there were only five seconds left for the Warriors on the timing card, Bruce stood up subconsciously!
Nowitzki looked anxiously at Carter, who had difficulty getting rid of the Lakers' defense for a while. When the violation time was about to run out, just as he was about to call a timeout, Carter made a three-pointer at an extremely fast speed. After getting rid of Kobe's entanglement, the arc at the top of the line quickly ran to the inside!
Seeing that Carter was rushing towards the inside line at an unabated speed, Dampier seemed to want to make up for his fault, and stuck O'Neill behind him firmly behind him!
The situation is urgent, and Nowitzki has no time to think. After seeing Dampier's action, he hesitated and then took back the basketball held high above his head. When Green thought that the opponent gave up, Nowitzki suddenly Throw the basketball to the basket!
"boom!!"
A roar spread throughout the court while Carter hung his hands on the basket, and everyone was shocked to see this imaginative alley-oop.
"Beautiful!!!" Bruce jumped up excitedly. Although this ball has a very high risk, since it is completed, this is a wonderful picture that will definitely enter the top ten balls in the playoffs!
Staples was silent again. They looked at Carter who was celebrating wildly with his teammates in disbelief. Carter's actions further shocked the fans!
"Great, this is simply unbelievable!" Kenny Smith stood up with a shocked face, and subconsciously shouted out.
Excitement flashed across Rick Barry's face, he suppressed the desire to stand up, and said very professionally: "Although this ball is very beautiful, it was not completed under the tactical requirements!"
"God, what the hell, I'm only cheering for the wonderful performance!" Kenny Smith said indifferently, then winked at Barry, and looked at the court with great interest!
Carter's dunk suddenly raised the morale of the Warriors to a very high level. In the third quarter, other players seemed to suddenly transform into "The Incredible Hulk". Get these guys' adrenaline pumping!
Seeing that the Lakers were on the verge of collapsing, Phil Jackson hurriedly called a timeout!
In his plan, this kind of scene shouldn't have appeared here, but now the Warriors are crazy enough to drive him crazy!
After the timeout, the Lakers still failed to withstand the crazy impact of the Warriors.
When the Warriors returned to the court with a score of 85:75 in the third quarter, there was a sudden burst of boos in the court!
All the fans looked in the direction of the Lakers in displeasure. In their understanding, being suppressed by an eighth-ranked team like this is simply unbearable!
At this time, the Lakers are like a crappy quasi-NCAA championship team, with constant turnovers, defensive misplacements, and the sudden downturn of the stars, which makes them want to go crazy!
Brad Pitt looked at the glaring score on the big screen a little speechlessly, and glanced at the excited Bruce beside him, feeling depressed for a while!
Bruce has a feeling that the Warriors will definitely get it in today's game. He has always believed in his feeling!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers suddenly burst out with huge energy, as if they had been instilled with a shot in the arm by Jackson. As much as 3 points.
On the other hand, the Warriors seemed to have lost their way in the fourth quarter after the crazy explosion in the last quarter. Carter's breakthrough was ruthlessly blocked by O'Neal's block, and Nowitzki's proud shooting also hit the iron frequently.
When Wilkens looked at the score leading the Lakers by only one point, he called a timeout a little depressed!
"Children, I don't know what's wrong with you. What you need now is stability, not blind confidence. Do you understand?" Wilkens looked at the frustrated players seriously, thinking that these guys were a bit brainy. Heat blindly shot and broke through, and said angrily, "Dirk, you, Vince, and Cassel get off the field and take a rest first!"
Carter and the others looked at Wilkens with a serious face in astonishment, and after the other party said it seriously again, they looked at him in disbelief.
In the eyes of Carter and the others, Wilkens' arrangement was simply a signal to give up. Although the score was quickly drawn by the Lakers, the current situation is still on the side of the Warriors. Now hearing Will Kens' arrangement, none of the players thought he was right!
Although Bruce frowned at Wilkens' arrangement, he was not a coach after all, but a "dealer" who helped the coach master a good hand of cards.
Hearing Wilkens' arrangement, Billups and the others suddenly became serious. In their opinion, this arrangement has brought them great pressure. If this game is lost, then the best scapegoat It's Wilkens and these guys!
"What??" Kenny Smith and Rick Barry looked at the new Warriors players in disbelief, even Phil Jackson was shocked by their current lineup!
Billups, Hughes and Marshall replaced Carter one after another. When the fans saw this unexpected lineup, everyone was stunned for a moment and then erupted into a burst of endless boos!
Everyone understands how angry Wilkens' arrangement is. Now is the period when the score is stalemate, but he replaced three substitutes on the field. This is simply a naked insult!
As the three walked towards the court solemnly, everyone was waiting to see what these guys would do!
The basketball kept passing in the hands of the Warriors players, as if they had formed a tacit understanding, making them choose to shoot after running out of 20 seconds!
"Is Lenny crazy?" Kenny Smith looked at the Warriors players who were obviously wasting time on the court speechlessly. He didn't understand Wilkens' intention of this arrangement!
"Wait and see the good show!" Rick Barry glanced at the Warriors players wearing the No. 1 jersey on the field, and said with a twinkle in his eyes.
As time went on, despite the Warriors' ugly play, they still held a one-point lead over the Lakers with 30 seconds left.
When Phil Jackson used up the last timeout of this quarter, the players of the two teams walked off the field with strange expressions!
"Vince, Dirk, you go!" Wilkens looked at Carter with a serious face, pointed to Hughes and Marshall, who seemed to be relieved, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and secretly sighed. Pick up the tactical board and set it up!
All the fans gradually stopped booing. When they saw the scores of the two teams on the big screen, they looked blankly at the dignified Lakers players who were about to play!
The referee on duty and the other two referees muttered a few words one after another, and then walked towards the court with a serious expression!
At this critical juncture, the players' emotions are very easily stimulated. If there is a little bit of an accident, they absolutely believe that it will lead to a regrettable thing!
The Lakers served, and Fisher solemnly brought the ball to the frontcourt. According to Phil Jackson's arrangement, he kept looking for opportunities for his teammates outside the three-point line!
For this ball, they have a clear executor, all they need is his good pass and timing!
Kobe kept running in search of opportunities, and Carter beside him seemed to be a different person. No matter how the opponent changed directions or fake moves, he, who had always been only qualified in defense, still followed closely behind Kobe!
Seeing the entanglement between the two, Fisher quickly glanced at the 24-second time on the timing card, and looked eagerly at O'Neal who was fighting with Dampier on the inside!
All the players of the Lakers realized how anxious the current situation is. When O'Neal finally got stuck, Fisher, who was already a little eager, hurriedly gave the ball to O'Neal who was standing deep in the penalty area!
"boom!!"
O'Neal tugged at the basket frantically, venting his depression in the previous game to his heart's content!
The fans in the arena burst into cheers instantly, shouting excitedly as if they were about to lift the roof off!
However, Dampier was shockingly clutching his knees tightly and kept rolling on the floor!
All the Warriors players and Wilkens looked at Dampier who fell on the floor in shock. They couldn't believe it was true!
Bruce looked at Dampier with a painful expression in horror, and subconsciously shouted: "Team doctor. Team doctor!!!"
Under Bruce's yell, Wilkens hurriedly asked for a timeout from the technical table, and then, accompanied by the team doctor, the two ran over in a hurry!
After a brief examination and questioning of Dampier, when the team doctor told the news that it was impossible to play, the hearts of all Warriors personnel suddenly sank!
"This..." Kenny Smith looked worriedly at Dampier who fell on the ground, and when he saw the situation where two substitute players helped him up, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Can't we fight anymore??? "
"God, this." Rick Barry was so depressed that he wanted to scold O'Neal. If Dampier couldn't return to the court, it would put tremendous pressure on the Warriors' inside line.
Although Wallace's ability should not be underestimated, his height is a natural flaw.
The cheers in the stadium, as Dampier gradually stopped as he walked towards the tunnel with the help of his teammates, everyone knew what this would mean!
Dampier's departure was like a mountain pressing down on the entire Warriors. From the dignified expressions of Carter and Wilkens, it was obvious that they were worried!
Although Dampier has been split a lot of playing time by Foyle and Wallace this season, he can still get 25 points and 8 rebounds in nearly 9 minutes. Good data!
Especially his defensive ability is very important to the Warriors. The Warriors remove Wallace, who is super defensive, and Dampier's defensive ability is also very tough. This can be seen from when he played against O'Neal!
In the matchup between the two, Dampier put a lot of pressure on O'Neal by virtue of his impressive tonnage and strength.
And now, with Dampier's departure, only relying on Wallace's defense seems a bit insufficient!
If Wallace's height is 5 cm higher, coupled with his strong defensive ability, he will become a terrifying defensive monster!
Dampier's departure will not change the situation on the court. Wilkens thought about it, looked at Wallace and Foyle one after another, and said suddenly: "Ben, I need your toughness." !!"
"Please believe me!" At this time, Wallace no longer considered whether to get any reuse, and now his only thought was to rely on his own ability to firmly guard against O'Neal who might explode again. mission!
Under the attention of the fans, the Warriors walked to the court solemnly!
With only 16 seconds left, they knew very well how they would be defended by the Lakers, which put a lot of pressure on them!
Billups slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Nowitzki kept covering him all the way.
When the two ran to the front court, there were only 12 seconds left in the time!
To score this goal in these 12 seconds, no matter which player it is, it is under tremendous pressure!
The moment Billups brought the ball to the frontcourt, the Lakers stalked their opponents like crazy hungry wolves!
Seeing that the time was about to enter within 8 seconds, Billups hurriedly passed the ball to Carter in a gap!
Holding the ball in his hand, Carter made a slight adjustment, and when the time went into 5 seconds, he suddenly started and rushed to the inside!
With Carter's impact, the Lakers and Warriors players all shrank to the inside. Every player knows how important this is!
Carter pursed his lips tightly, striding towards the inside line!
O'Neal, Green and Rice stood outside the penalty area one after another. While paying attention to their opponents, there was a faint tendency to form a solid wall!
After seeing this situation, Billups suddenly accelerated and ran outside the left three-point line.
Fisher, who was defending Billups, hurriedly chased after him for a moment, but it was too late!
The moment Carter approached O'Neill and the others, he quickly handed the ball to his left with his right hand, and his body suddenly rose into the air. When O'Neill and the others thought that Carter would attack hard, his left hand suddenly threw the ball to Billup who had already stood still Si!
The moment he caught the ball, Billups didn't hesitate at all, his eyes were fixed on the basket in the distance, and he shot the ball softly with both hands! !
"Shhh!!"
"drop!!!"
All the fans looked at Billups who raised his hands high and Fisher who was extremely annoyed. They couldn't believe what this guy who was just a substitute for the Warriors did! !
"Lore!! Lore!! Chauncey killed the Lakers!!!" Barry jumped up excitedly, waving his hands and shouting loudly!
Bruce stared at Billups with a calm expression. For a moment, he couldn't help but overlap the figure of this key gentleman with the figure of the guy who performed miracles in his previous life.
"This is Mr. Key, this is Chauncey Billups!!!" Bruce's eyes finally returned to their proper look, and he shouted heartily regardless of Brad Pitt's bitter smile beside him! !
Sorry, because of a power outage at home, and now I'm in an Internet cafe, I can't separate the two chapters. I can only use one big chapter to send updates to my friends.
It is said that there will be a call at 8 o'clock in the evening. If it is on time, Lao Lang will try his best to give you the last update, and finally say sorry!
(End of this chapter)

When Wilkens looked at the score leading the Lakers by only one point, he called a timeout a little depressed!
"Children, I don't know what's wrong with you. What you need now is stability, not blind confidence. Do you understand?" Wilkens looked at the frustrated players seriously, thinking that these guys were a bit brainy. Heat blindly shot and broke through, and said angrily, "Dirk, you, Vince, and Cassel get off the field and take a rest first!"

After a brief examination and questioning of Dampier, when the team doctor told the news that it was impossible to play, the hearts of all Warriors personnel suddenly sank!
"This..." Kenny Smith looked worriedly at Dampier who fell on the ground, and when he saw the situation where two substitute players helped him up, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Can't we fight anymore??? "
"God, this." Rick Barry was so depressed that he wanted to scold O'Neal. If Dampier couldn't return to the court, it would put tremendous pressure on the Warriors' inside line.
Although Wallace's ability should not be underestimated, his height is a natural flaw.
The cheers in the stadium, as Dampier gradually stopped as he walked towards the tunnel with the help of his teammates, everyone knew what this would mean!
Dampier's departure was like a mountain pressing down on the entire Warriors. From the dignified expressions of Carter and Wilkens, it was obvious that they were worried!
Although Dampier has been split a lot of playing time by Foyle and Wallace this season, he can still get 25 points and 8 rebounds in nearly 9 minutes. Good data!
Especially his defensive ability is very important to the Warriors. The Warriors remove Wallace, who is super defensive, and Dampier's defensive ability is also very tough. This can be seen from when he played against O'Neal!
In the matchup between the two, Dampier put a lot of pressure on O'Neal by virtue of his impressive tonnage and strength.
And now, with Dampier's departure, only relying on Wallace's defense seems a bit insufficient!
If Wallace's height is 5 cm higher, coupled with his strong defensive ability, he will become a terrifying defensive monster!
Dampier's departure will not change the situation on the court. Wilkens thought about it, looked at Wallace and Foyle one after another, and said suddenly: "Ben, I need your toughness." !!"
"Please believe me!" At this time, Wallace no longer considered whether to get any reuse, and now his only thought was to rely on his own ability to firmly guard against O'Neal who might explode again. mission!
Under the attention of the fans, the Warriors walked to the court solemnly!
With only 16 seconds left, they knew very well how they would be defended by the Lakers, which put a lot of pressure on them!
Billups slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Nowitzki kept covering him all the way.
When the two ran to the front court, there were only 12 seconds left in the time!
To score this goal in these 12 seconds, no matter which player it is, it is under tremendous pressure!
The moment Billups brought the ball to the frontcourt, the Lakers stalked their opponents like crazy hungry wolves!
Seeing that the time was about to enter within 8 seconds, Billups hurriedly passed the ball to Carter in a gap!
Holding the ball in his hand, Carter made a slight adjustment, and when the time went into 5 seconds, he suddenly started and rushed to the inside!
With Carter's impact, the Lakers and Warriors players all shrank to the inside. Every player knows how important this is!
Carter pursed his lips tightly, striding towards the inside line!
O'Neal, Green and Rice stood outside the penalty area one after another. While paying attention to their opponents, there was a faint tendency to form a solid wall!
After seeing this situation, Billups suddenly accelerated and ran outside the left three-point line.
Fisher, who was defending Billups, hurriedly chased after him for a moment, but it was too late!
The moment Carter approached O'Neill and the others, he quickly handed the ball to his left with his right hand, and his body suddenly rose into the air. When O'Neill and the others thought that Carter would attack hard, his left hand suddenly threw the ball to Billup who had already stood still Si!
The moment he caught the ball, Billups didn't hesitate at all, his eyes were fixed on the basket in the distance, and he shot the ball softly with both hands! !
"Shhh!!"
"drop!!!"
All the fans looked at Billups who raised his hands high and Fisher who was extremely annoyed. They couldn't believe what this guy who was just a substitute for the Warriors did! !
"Lore!! Lore!! Chauncey killed the Lakers!!!" Barry jumped up excitedly, waving his hands and shouting loudly!
Bruce stared at Billups with a calm expression. For a moment, he couldn't help but overlap the figure of this key gentleman with the figure of the guy who performed miracles in his previous life.
"This is Mr. Key, this is Chauncey Billups!!!" Bruce's eyes finally returned to their proper look, and he shouted heartily regardless of Brad Pitt's bitter smile beside him! !
