Chapter 340 Kobe speaks

As soon as the basketball was thrown from his hand, O'Neal already knew that it was impossible to score.

It's just that, O'Neal wants offensive rebounds, how can Ewing and Wang Hao let him get what he wants?

Not only that, PJ Brown has also entered the inside, and there will definitely be no problem if he grabs one of the three.

In fact, O'Neal was squeezing and pushing behind Ewing, and kept getting deeper, and he was already suspected of fouling.

It's just that the referee was very cautious and didn't blow the whistle.

As for the reason, of course it is also obvious.

At this point in the game, the number of fouls has already reached the point where every foul requires a free throw.

At this time, if a foul is called on any team, it will give points to the other team.

Not to mention, this is the home court of the Lakers.

Although O'Neal escaped from the referee, the rebound was still protected by the SuperSonics.

Wang Hao didn't waste any time and quickly protected the ball.

To be honest, with Wang Hao holding the ball, the Lakers retreated immediately without even thinking of pressing the ball.

The reason is simple. After the Lakers' offense ends, there are still 28 seconds of offense time.

This means that even if the Sonics use up 24 seconds of attack time, they will still have 4 seconds left.

In other words, as long as they can successfully defend the SuperSonics' attack, they will still have a chance.

There is no idea of ​​​​pressing high, but it does not mean that there is no idea at all.

In fact, Kobe had a lot of ideas at this time.

He doesn't understand why O'Neal just can't make free throws? He doesn't understand that there are always problems with O'Neal's defense.

He didn't even understand why the coach would condone O'Neal if he didn't train.

What he didn't understand the most was that he had already scored a ball just now, so why didn't he give it to him this time?

When Wang Hao was dribbling, he first glanced at Paul Westphal. The meaning was obvious. Do you want to pause?

To put it bluntly, I am asking, does the head coach want to arrange tactics?

Without a moment's hesitation, Paul Westphal gave up on this last tactic.

He just stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly, asking everyone to pull away and let Wang Hao solve the problem.

Has Paul Westphal seriously thought about whether to call a timeout at the last moment?

What tactics should be deployed after the timeout?

There's no need to do anything fancy, just give the ball to the most trustworthy players, that's enough!

It is almost impossible to rely on the passing ball to find open opportunities at the last moment.

Anyway, we let Wang Hao solve the problem, so why pause?

After a timeout, if you serve a sideline ball, you have to find a way to get the ball to Wang Hao first, which is even more troublesome.

Of course, the SuperSonics also have the qualifications to be fault-tolerant.

Today, the SuperSonics are still one point ahead. Although it is only one point, the advantage still lies with them.

If the attack fails this time, there is still a chance to defend.

Of course, Wang Hao will not do anything like handing over the choice to his opponents. He likes to solve problems by himself.

After crossing half-court, he was not in a hurry, but was waiting for time to pass.

Spend as much time as possible, which is also the purpose of this attack.

Looking at Wang Hao, Kobe put aside all emotions and looked at Wang Hao with great solemnity and concentration.

He kept his center of gravity very low, and at the same time, he also maintained a very good distance from Wang Hao.

Because he knows very well that facing an opponent of this level, he cannot give him the slightest chance.

10,9,8……

Seeing that there were less than 10 seconds left in the attack time, Kobe suddenly felt something was wrong. Is Wang Hao going to take action?

He's not Paul George who makes stupid mistakes like that.

The attack time is getting shorter and shorter, and the opponent will definitely choose to take long shots. At this time, it is natural to attack.

However, at this moment, Wang Hao suddenly reacted and asked PJ Brown to pick and roll for him.

Seeing Wang Hao's reaction, Kobe did not dare to be careless and quickly stopped while paying attention to the pick-and-roll next to him.

However, at this moment, Wang Hao suddenly accelerated.

He suddenly broke through to the right, and Kobe naturally reacted subconsciously and stepped forward.

Then, Wang Hao, who was traveling at high speed, suddenly changed direction at this moment and moved the basketball from his right hand to his left hand.

At this time, PJ Brown just stood firm outside the three-point line.

Wang Hao suddenly changed direction, and P.J. Brown's pick-and-roll was just in place. Naturally, this had already been coordinated.

P.J. Brown is not required to completely stop Kobe, as long as he blocks it a little, that is enough.

Kobe bumped into PJ Brown and stopped suddenly. At this time, Wang Hao had already gotten rid of Kobe.

Fortunately, Robert Holly was experienced enough and chose to switch defenses immediately.

However, at this moment, Wang Hao, who had just reached the top of the arc, stopped suddenly and simply.

Immediately afterwards, he pulled out his hand directly.

Robert Holly's reaction was not slow either, but Wang Hao's speed was too fast, giving him no time to react.

Whether it was the sudden emergency stop or the speed of the shot, it was simply difficult for him to guard against it.

Moreover, Wang Hao's choice also shocked countless people.

There was obviously still time, enough for Wang Hao to break through to the inside, but he still chose a three-pointer.

What is this? Confident enough in your three-point shot!

The basketball flew out of Wang Hao's hand. Robert looked at the basketball stupidly and could only sigh in despair!

"Whoa!"

In the eyes of countless astonished people, the basketball fell straight into the net.

101:97

"Oh, no!"

"Oh my God, how is this possible!"

"Damn it, it was just a little bit close, why couldn't it be guarded against?"

…

At this moment, there was a brief silence at the Staples Center, followed by wailing.

They never imagined that this would be the result?

They obviously grabbed an away victory, but now that they are back at home, they should be singing a triumphant song, right?

Why it came out like this?

With a 4-point difference and only 5.4 seconds left in the game, Lakers fans were already desperate.

Not to mention Lakers fans, even the Lakers players looked helpless and disappointed at this time.

As professional players, they know more clearly the difference between 4 points and less than 4 points.

Especially at the last moment.

If the score difference is only 3 points, then no matter how much time is left, there is still hope.

After all, it's enough to find a shot and then throw the ball into the basket.

But now it's 4 points, which requires at least 2 attacks.

Although he knew the chance was slim, Phil Jackson still took the initiative to call a timeout.

He arranged the tactics, but the tactics he arranged made the anger in Kobe's heart even stronger.

That's right, Phil Jackson chose Fisher.

If it were in the past, if the head coach made such a choice, Kobe would not be too dissatisfied.

It's just that today he has accumulated a lot of emotions.

The game continued, and the Sonics made another adjustment. PJ Brown came on the field with four small lineups.
