I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 109 Lakers Championship

Larry Brown watched the score and knew he should call a timeout.

But he didn't think there was a problem with his tactics, and the players executed his tactics very well.

A timeout was called, and Larry Brown didn't know what to say.

Up to now, Larry Brown still thinks that "Phil let Liu He play the 4th position" is a ridiculous decision and a stupid move.

The game continues.

Rashid continued to force Liu He hard.

Kobe tried to help Liu He defend, Rashid directly passed the ball to Hamilton, and Hamilton took the ball and shot.

Swish!
12: 8.

Compared with the Lakers, the Pistons also feel very good today.

Lakers offense.

O'Neal continued to attract double-teams in the low post, and then distributed the ball.

Internal and external tactics.

The Lakers formed a partial 4-on-3 outside.

Big Ben jumped out to help his teammates defend.

But Kobe seized the opportunity and drove the ball into the paint.

Rasheed defended Kobe, and Kobe missed a layup under Rasheed's interference.

But O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound and made a dunk.

boom!
14: 8.

Pistons attack.

Kobe continued to help Liu He defend, and Rashid gave the ball to Hamilton.

George defended Hamilton, and Hamilton passed Prince again.

Prince takes a shot.

Bang!

O'Neal protected the rebound and immediately found Liu He next to him.

Liu He found Kobe who had already made a fast break. Kobe went to the frontcourt and scored a layup.

Swish!
16: 8.

Pistons attack.

Prince seized the opportunity this time and made a three-pointer from the corner.

Swish!
16: 11.

However, looking back, the Lakers continued to play more and less on the outside, and Big Ben rushed out.

Liu He passed the ball in again.

O'Neal went straight to the basket and dunked, not only scoring, but also causing a foul by Rashid.

2+1.

O'Neal walked to the free throw line, stumbled, but still threw the free throw.

19: 11.

This is O'Neal. Free throws are really bad, but the more critical the game, the more critical the moment, the more accurate O'Neal is.

It can only be said that some people are born for big scenes.

As the game progressed, the Lakers always maintained the lead.

At this time, everyone finally realized the role of Liu He playing the fourth position.

If Liu He plays the fourth position, you can't double-team O'Neal.

If you dare to double-team O'Neal, Liu He will shoot you.

Liu He really couldn't guard Rasheed, but Rasheed couldn't guard Liu He either.

The game of basketball is not about defense.

Rather than score.

In the end, as long as I score more points than you, I am the winner.

As a veteran head coach, Larry Brown is also aware of this.

Old Brown immediately called a timeout, adjusted his tactical layout, and no longer double-teamed O'Neal.

"Rashid, you go defend that rookie, don't let him score again!"

After the pause comes back.

Relying on Rashid's advantage at this point, the Pistons continued to score.

19: 13.

Lakers offense.

Rasheed stared directly at Liu He.

"Rookie, your score is over!"

Rasheed said fiercely.

Liu He sneered: "Is your brain sick?"

After the words fell, Liu He passed the ball into the inside.

O'Neal received the ball and hit Big Ben one-on-one.

In the minds of some impressionist fans, Big Ben can single-handedly defend O'Neal.

But in fact, every time the Pistons compete with the Lakers, they seldom use big money to defend O'Neal alone.

It used to be Campbell, and later it was Rashid... These two were responsible for defending O'Neal one-on-one, and Ben's role was more of a help defense.

you ask why?
Daben's official height is 206cm. This is the data measured by taking into account the soles of his shoes, his explosive head, and a few pairs of socks.

In fact, Daben is only in his early two meters, or even less than two meters.

Although the NBA also has Garnett and Durant who deliberately report their height as "short", but most players report their height as high. After all, height is the most important talent in basketball.

Why do you think that a 200cm big Ben can guard against a 216cm O'Neal?

Many fans may not have seen how O'Neal played the big book, just imagine how Yao Ming played other "dwarfs".

As soon as O'Neal got the ball, Big Ben desperately resisted O'Neal.

Big Ben's bottom plate is very solid, and O'Neal can't stand it.

But O'Neill plays big, do you need to push him?
O'Neill turned around and shot directly on Big Ben's head.

Swish!
21: 13.

Liu He sneered and asked Rashid: "You ran out, why should I score by myself? Shaq can beat you all by himself! Do you think your brain is sick?"

Rashid's face turned ugly for a while.

On the ensuing round, Rasheed's straight-arm jumper finally went off.

Gods sometimes miss, not to mention that Rashid is not a god.

Rashid discovered a terrible fact, his own trash talk did not affect Liu He, but Liu He's trash talk affected him.

"Trash, if I give you a chance, you're useless!"

After Rasheed missed the shot, Liu He immediately began to taunt, spitting in Rasheed's ears.

Being ridiculed repeatedly, Rashid, who has always been hot-tempered, is about to explode.

Still Billups came over, grabbed Rasheed and said, "Dude, that rookie is trying to provoke you on purpose, don't be fooled! Our team needs you!"

As we all know, Rashid has a hot temper and is known as the king of technical offenders.

Throughout Rasheed's career, he played 1109 games and received a total of 317 technical fouls, the most in the NBA.

In the 00-01 season, Rasheed received 41 technical fouls in a single season, the most in the NBA.

An average of 1 technical foul in two games, who dares to refuse?

Hearing what Billups said, Rasheed woke up instantly and looked at Liu He coldly.

"What a sinister and cunning rookie!"

When Liu He was exposed, he didn't care at all. Instead, he complained to Billups: "Chauncey, do you treat Rasheed like a baby? You are belittling Rasheed, he is not a baby!"

The corner of Billups' mouth twitched: "You don't want to provoke the relationship between us, Rashid and I are good brothers!"

Debunked again!
Liu He just chuckled, without any embarrassment.

Billups shook his head helplessly, looked at Rasheed and said, "Rashid, you also saw how rascal this guy is. Trash talk is useless to this kind of person."

Billups didn't say the second half of the sentence: Trash talk is not only against Liu He, but may also hurt Rasheed himself.

Just taking into account Rashid's face, he didn't say it.

Rasheed nodded.

Lakers offense.

Payton once again hoisted the ball to the basket. O'Neal jumped high, caught the ball directly in the air, and then worked over Ben's head and smashed the ball into the basket.

boom!
23: 13.

And Big Ben can only watch O'Neill's performance, and doesn't interfere a little bit at all.

Seeing that the score difference reached double digits.

Larry Brown realized: Big Ben can't guard against O'Neal, not at all.

So he adjusted again.

Rashid single-handedly defended O'Neal, and Da Ben went out to stare at Liu He.

But this adjustment is of no use.

In the next round, O'Neal knocked Rashid away, turned around and hit the board, and scored easily.

25: 13.

Rashid's defense is pretty good, but it also depends on who the target of the defense is.

At the peak of O'Neal, no one can defend him one-on-one.

Even those big meat shields are just for O'Neill to work harder.

O'Neal scored consecutively.

It also confused Larry Brown.

Double-teaming O'Neal, Liu He in the fourth position desperately shot three-pointers.

Without double-teaming O'Neal, O'Neal went crazy.

It turns out that Liu He playing the fourth position was not only not a stupid move, but an excellent arrangement.

This arrangement can maximize O'Neal's low-post dominance.

"Phil's adjustment is really amazing!"

Kenny Smith said.

"I'm envious of my real name. Why haven't I met such a good coach as Phil. Otherwise, my career will definitely not be crownless."

Barkley sighed.

"It's still Liu He's three-pointer that is accurate enough. Ordinary people will not have this effect when paired with O'Neal."

"Number one Liu Chuan" Cole naturally can't forget to blow Liu.

The Shuangping combination sighed: "These legendary coaches in the NBA are really good, we still need to learn more!"

……

On the Lakers bench, Phil still had a calm expression on his face, chewing gum calmly, as if nothing had changed.

Only old Winter knew that Phil didn't fix his glasses again.

"Although I don't want to, I still want to remind the Pistons. The current big score is 3 to 0. If they lose this game...the Pistons' journey this season will come to an end."

The live DJ said.

And this sentence made Larry Brown, who was already confused, use a dizzy trick.

He actually double-teamed O'Neal again, betting that the Lakers' outside touch would decline.

Therefore, Liu He directly sent two "three-pointer gift packages" to the Pistons.

End of first quarter, 38:24.

The Lakers led by as many as 14 points.

And Liu He scored 15 points alone.

O'Neill scored 11 points.

Kobe had 5 points.

The Big Three combined for 38 of their 31 points.

In the second quarter of the game, Larry Brown didn't even change into the rotation lineup and directly fought against the main force.

In a critical situation, Larry Brown made another mistake of "deadly manipulating the main force".

Phil smiled.

After Malone was injured, the depth of the Lakers' bench became weaker. This is the biggest problem for the Lakers.

Instead, the depth of the Pistons' bench is their greatest strength.

However, because Larry Brown fell behind by a large score, he chose to play the main force, which is tantamount to giving up his "bench depth" advantage.

"Larry, you're a nice guy!"

Phil silently sent a good person card to Old Brown.

However, when the Pistons played the entire first half, the point difference not only did not shrink, but expanded.

Halftime is over.

68: 47.

The Lakers have led by 21 points.

Old Brown found that he couldn't solve the combination of O'Neill and Liu He at the fourth and fifth positions.

Liu He helped O'Neal open up the space under the basket, and O'Neal helped Liu He attract the defense... This combination is simply invincible.

In fact, not only Larry Brown, but everyone at the scene was thinking about how to deal with the combination of O'Neal and Liu He.

The answer is: unable to cope!

The most dominant big man in NBA history, coupled with the best shooter in NBA history, this combination really has no solution.

Not to mention the players, David Stern, who doesn't know the ball, doesn't know what to do. He feels that O'Neill and Liu He are so strong!

Halfway through the third quarter, the score was 83:53.

The Lakers have led by as many as 30 points.

Larry Brown rubbed his head and said to the assistant coach: "Get ready to kill the shark!"

The assistant coach was stunned and said: "If we cut off Sharks, they can cut off Ben. Ben's free throws are about the same as O'Neal's...Larry, give the players the last bit of dignity."

Larry Brown nodded.

Immediately, he took advantage of the dead ball opportunity and replaced all the main players.

At this moment, far away in the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles, in front of the big screens in the arena and on the plaza, Los Angeles fans jumped up:

"The Lakers Championship!"

Barkley said: "Congratulations to the Lakers, they have created a history of winning the playoffs, plus a record of 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season... Now it can be said that this Lakers is the strongest team in NBA history There is none!"

"By the way, congratulations to my good brother Carl, he just won a ring."

Barkley added another sentence at the end, emphasizing the word "lying to win".

On the CCTV side, the Shuangping team was as happy as a child and shouted: "Champion! Champion! Liu He is the champion!"

In the end, 114:93, the Lakers won the G4 game, swept the Pistons, and successfully reached the top.

In this game, Liu He scored the most 28 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.

O'Neal scored 22 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

科比20分7篮板8助攻2抢断1盖帽。

After the game, David Stern walked to the center of the pitch.

"First, let's thank the Detroit Pistons for a great series for all the fans."

"Then, I am honored to announce that...for the 2003-2004 season, the NBA champions are...the Los Angeles Lakers!"

In an instant, the Lakers celebrated with the few Lakers fans present.

Most of the Detroit fans at the scene have left, and the rest are also leaving.

After the Pistons players bid farewell to the Lakers, they also left the court, leaving the glory to the winner.

The staff moved the O'Brien Cup and handed it over to the Lakers.

O'Neal just touched it and handed it to Bryant.

"I've seen this stuff a lot."

Kobe also touched it and handed it to Liu He.

"I've been kissed many times."

After Liu He hugged it, he handed it to Ma Long and Payton who were eagerly waiting beside him.

"You come first, I will often have opportunities in the future."

These three pretenders are so fucking annoying!

But Malone and Payton have no time to deal with these three pretenders at all. The two old guys are almost robbing each other, hugging the O'Brien Cup together, and kissing non-stop.

Kissing each other, the two of them began to cry, crying bitterly.

Except for Malone and Payton, the rest of the Lakers are relatively calm.

After all, O'Neill, Kobe, George, Fisher, Grant Sr., Fox...these people have many rings.

There is nothing special about the rich teams, except that they have more rings.

As for rookies like Liu He and Wharton, after all, they are young and have just started their careers, so they are not that excited.
