In fact, he didn't think too much, he just instinctively made the most suitable choice.

Kobe was catching up quickly because he was broken by half a step. It must be said that the speed was very fast.

But because of the speed, when Wang Hao suddenly stopped suddenly, this opportunity came.

Half a step inside the three-point line, Wang Hao immediately stopped and shot.

To be honest, this position somewhat surprised the Lakers, even caught them off guard.

As a top star in the NBA and an opponent in the playoffs, Wang Hao has naturally been studied intensively.

Three-pointers are Wang Hao's specialty. In addition, he is very good at finishing at the basket and shooting from mid-range.

After a series of analyses, they also discovered that Wang Hao didn't like growing two points very much.

She would rather step back and shoot a three-pointer than go long for a two-pointer.

Others may not understand it. After all, the farther the distance, the lower the hit rate.

But when I think of Wang Hao's three-pointers, it seems not difficult to understand.

But, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you can’t.

In order to avoid being double-teamed on the inside, taking action in advance is definitely the best choice.

It has to be said that Kobe's defense was very tenacious, and he even forced him to regain his center of gravity and reached out to interfere.

But, again, defense is very passive.

Unless you can block the opponent every time, otherwise, your defense can only reduce your hit rate.

Kobe reacted promptly, but Wang Hao already had room to take action.

Just one second before the shot was about to be blocked, Wang Hao's shot had already been released and flew towards the basket.

"Whoosh!"

As the basketball fell steadily into the basket, the entire Key Arena seemed to stop at this moment.

Of course, it's just for a moment.

The next moment, the game scene was boiling with excitement, the DJ was shouting at the top of his lungs, and the fans were venting their hearts out.

As for the SuperSonics players, they are even more elated.

If there wasn't still time left in the game and the whistle hadn't sounded at the end of the game, they would have already started celebrating.

"Oh my God, this is unbelievable."

"Definite kill, counter-final kill, this is definitely the most exciting game of the year."

"Wang, I think he has told everyone with his practical actions who is the best one at the moment."

…

At this moment, not only the fans at the scene were excited, but also the audience far away in front of the TV.

In fact, not only them, even the commentators and hosts, who are usually very calm, were indescribably excited at this time.

It's not that they support the Sonics, it's purely because this game is so exciting, with ups and downs, and unpredictable.

"1.6 seconds!"

Looking at the time on the timer, Wang Hao frowned slightly.

Originally, according to his thinking, when the ball was scored, time must have completely run out.

But despite all the calculations, the final calculation was still not completed. It was still a little short, leaving 1.6 seconds.

At 1.6 seconds, there is basically no chance to play tactics slowly. Basically, it is just catching the ball and shooting.

At most, it just gives you a little time to adjust.

This is a good thing for the Sonics, but the situation is still not a foregone conclusion.

"Well done, guys, cheer me up and defend one last time.

Remember, let me clear all your thoughts. You can only have one thought in your mind, guard against the guys on the opposite side."

…

Paul Westphal roared at the top of his lungs, and his voice was already a little hoarse.

Not only that, you can even see a lot of sweat on his forehead.

You know, as the head coach, he doesn't have to run around the court, at most he can just walk around the sidelines.

The reason why it is so hard is purely mental fatigue, as well as emotional and mental tension.

On the defensive end, Paul Westphal made a change, and Lewis and Ewing were substituted.

Those who were replaced on the court were Reuben Patterson and Quentin Richardson, both of whom played pretty good defense.

Not only that, he also made arrangements for the last defense.

"Quentin, you told Robert and Wang that your goal is Kobe."

…

That's right, in Paul Westphal's view, it's likely these two who will execute the Lakers' final attack.

As for Fisher, he is still not a big-hearted person.

But, as I said before, defense is very passive, and sometimes, you just can't defend it if you want to.

Especially in such a decisive tactic, pick-and-roll screens, sometimes you can't stop it at all.

Therefore, Robert Holly and Kobe Bryant are the key figures to guard, but it is not just Wang Hao and Quentin Richardson's responsibility.

Similarly, the Lakers have also made adjustments.

Except for O'Neal, the remaining four are all pitchers, Fisher, Kobe, Megan Fox and Robert Holly.

Back to the game, the Lakers' positioning arrangement is very interesting.

Except for O'Neal who would shoot free throws from outside the line, everyone else crowded near the free throw line.

The Sonics had no choice but to follow suit. Except for PJ Brown, who interfered with O'Neal's serve, others also joined in.

Eight people were squeezed together, and the result was predictable.

Wang Hao grabbed Kobe's wrist from the gap, and on the other side, Gary Payton grabbed Fisher's jersey.

Again, at such a critical moment, the referee is under a lot of pressure to call a foul.

Therefore, some inconspicuous foul actions will not actually cause the referee to blow the whistle.

There were so many people squeezing and pushing each other that the referee even had to stop the serving process twice.

After a few more explanations, the game officially started.

As soon as the basketball arrived in O'Neal's hands, the Lakers players in the court immediately made some noise.

Everyone was squeezing in and out of the crowd. Suddenly, a figure squeezed over and pushed Wang Hao.

To be honest, this is actually a cover for a foul.

But, again, at this time, the referee was under great pressure to call a foul, and in the end the whistle was not blown.

At this moment, Wang Hao could no longer hold onto Kobe.

Kobe took the opportunity to break away and rushed directly outside the three-point line, clearly trying to catch the ball.

Wang Hao was a little anxious and wanted to catch up quickly.

But at this time, the figure that was originally blocking Wang Hao suddenly ran towards the bottom corner.

Robert Hawley, how can this be released?

Wang Hao had no choice but to keep up with Robert Holly. As for Kobe, he could only choose to trust his teammates.

In fact, the Sonics are doing really well, and Ruben Patterson has already followed suit immediately.

Sure enough, Paul Westphal's guess was correct, Phil Jackson indeed bet on Robert Holly and Kobe Bryant.

Between the two, O'Neal chose Kobe.
Chapter completed!
