The Rest, Only Noise

Latest URL: Karl Malone is another Hakeem Olajuwon.

Before Louis crossed, he was a sure-fire top five forward in history. After Louis crossed, because he played for a mediocre team that could not achieve results for many years, all he received was praise from professionals and recognition from awards.

Apart from these, those audiences who are not familiar with him will only think that he is an ordinary star.

Therefore, the selection of the top 50 superstars in NBA history may be the most valuable award in Malone's career so far.

Now, coming to Sampson, the world finally sees his strengths...and his weaknesses.

His advantage is that he is strong and durable, versatile in technique, and balanced in offense and defense. The disadvantage is that, for this sake, you can hardly expect him to do anything amazing.

The word stable is enough to explain Malone, but what makes him most regrettable is stability.

And those unstable players, such as Grant Hill, will bring some variables.

Hill broke through the Lakers' defense, broke through the defense and flew to the layup, recovering 2 points for the Celtics.

53 to 64

This can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need for the Celtics to stand out from the second scoring point outside of Sampson.

However, what they faced was Benjamin Wilson who was fully in the state.

Benj held the ball at the top of the arc, called the pick-and-roll dislocation to tear up Sampson's defense, and scored big with a small hit.

66 to 53

The ball returned to the Celtics, and their problems were the same as before.

Who can stand up and break the situation?

Who can help Sampson out?

The answer is Sampson himself.

Malone missed a catch and shot, and Sampson used his wingspan to grab the offensive rebound and directly made a dunk in the air.

55 to 66

"Mr. One and Only is holding up the building that is about to turn upside down!"

"The question is, who else can take the pressure off Ralph?"

Wilson dribbled the ball again at the top of the arc, and the Celtics were already frightened. An unfinished pick-and-roll tactic frightened their defense into chaos.

Wilson locked Liu Yuqing at a glance, and directly transferred the ball from the top of the arc to the right bottom corner in a wide range.

Liu Yuqing catches the ball and makes a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

69 to 55

The cold look on Liu Yuqing's face was chilling, he was just as terrifying as Dale Ellis back then.

Malone can be regarded as standing up, through the pick-and-roll with Sampson, turning around, catching the ball and laying up, stopping the bleeding for the team in time.

He has always been a master of chance shots, but, like this game, there are not so many chance **** for him to hit. What the Celtics need more is his singles with the ball.

This is also the biggest gap between Malone and other insiders and Sampson.

Generally, those who can understand the inside line without the ball are available talents. If there is one and a half moves, the team can design tactics for it. If the offensive means are comprehensive, it is at least like Brad Doherty. Offensive axis.

However, the natural difficulty of getting the ball inside prevents them from dominating the game through a large number of possessions like outside. In other words, their offense depends on the touch. If the touch is good, they will naturally have to play more. If the touch is not good, they have to reduce the ball.

Sampson can hold the ball himself, and has a wide offensive range. He can basically achieve one meter from the three-point line without dead ends.

Now, the Bostonians can feel a little more at ease, because their Big Three are gradually getting their feel.

In the past seven minutes of the third quarter, 74 to 61, the Lakers led by 13 points.

Louis took the initiative to call a timeout.

The Lakers still controlled the situation, and the Celtics had nothing to do with Wilson, but Louis didn't want you to hit the ball, and I hit the ball against each other.

That wears out a lot of patience.

He is impatient now, if you dare to punch me, I will beat you until you have no strength to fight back.

Therefore, he slightly adjusted the lineup.

Kobe replaced Nash, and the tragic division replaced Barkley.

In addition to substitutions, Louis has no other arrangements.

Just before they went on the court, Wilson and the magician were suddenly stopped.

"Coach, what are your orders?" Wilson asked.

Louie smiled and said, "I don't want to call a timeout anymore, and I don't want to worry about this game anymore."

"Put the Celts to hell!"

Pause ends

The magician seemed to be still consuming Louie's last words, but Wilson had already started to act.

Garnett's high pick-and-roll brought Sampson in front of Wilson again.

Great as Mr. One and Only, at this moment is but prey in the eyes of the conqueror.

Wilson played with Sampson's defense easily with speed and agility and scored 2 points.

76 to 61

The Celtics attack as hard as they can.

They tried to use the magician as a breakthrough.

Malone took the ball, but Wilson double-teamed him. Why were they so bold? Because Hill can't do anything on the perimeter.

Malone, who was forced to pass the ball, couldn't change anything.

Hill catches the ball, makes the shot, hits the iron.

Devil Hill felt humiliated, the Lakers had no respect for his shot, and the way he felt it was justified factually.

Bryant grabbed the defensive rebound and drove full speed forward.

The 18-year-old boy's thoughts are clear, and he is not blinded by the temptation of fast break at all.

When they came to the frontcourt, Kobe had a defender in place in front of him, he stopped the ball, found someone, and played the ball.

For Kobe, he would rather waste the opportunity with one-on-three in the fast break, and he doesn't want to pass the ball, but now he just passes this kind of ball.

It's not muscle memory or personal will, it's discipline.

He just felt that he deserved it.

Liu Yuqing, who followed up, received the pass.

Shoot, Ginger, just shoot!

Kobe's inner voice seemed to be known to the opponent—Liu Yuqing didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, she pulled it up and shot it, and the Celtics players looked at the basketball in the air in fear.

"Shuh!!"

"This is Jiang Duo's third three-pointer in the second half. What's frightening is that he also made 4 of 5 shots in the first half!"

Kobe couldn't help looking at Liu Yuqing, that **** who was so harsh on himself and others, like an inhuman killer who didn't know what nervousness was.

However, there is no more reliable shooter than him!

Kobe regarded Liu Yuqing as a competitor, but this did not affect his appreciation of the latter.

Liu Yuqing is always 100% into the game, while Kobe is often swayed by other thoughts.

He hates this.

He wants to be as focused as Liu Yuqing, as powerful as Wilson, as comprehensive as Garnett, and as respected as Bird.

"Bean!"

Wilson shouted and directed Kobe to double-team Hill with himself.

Hill hesitated for only a second before Bryant's double-team made him lose control of the ball.

The basketball left Hill's palm and was about to fly out of bounds. Kobe flew out regardless and slapped the ball back to the field.

Wilson got the ball and launched a fast break on the spot.

The Celtics wanted to prevent the Lakers from scoring easily at the basket through fast breaks, and then ignored the perimeter defense.

Liu Yuqing took her seat.

Matt Price, who was the closest, was terrified. They all knew that if the opponent hit a three-pointer again, the point difference would expand to 20 points.

To them, it was tantamount to death.

Liu Yuqing received the ball, glanced at Price coldly, and made a gesture to shoot, but the moment the opponent rushed up, she passed the ball behind her.

That was the last Lakers player to reach the frontcourt, and he was also the creator of the fast break possession.

Kobe Bryant received the ball two meters from the three-point line.

Shoot, Bean, just shoot!

Kobe seemed to hear the silent roar ~www.readwn.com~ His body pressed down, then got up, and a standard and complete three-pointer from nine meters away flew out.

"Kobe!!!"

"Yes!!"

The Bostonians at the scene cried out in despair and looked at the score again.

82 to 61

The Celtics requested a timeout, and there were a few minutes left in the third quarter, and then there was the fourth quarter, but everyone felt that the result was no longer in suspense.

Kobe may have made a three-pointer that killed the game. Except for Liu Yuqing, other teammates on the field came to pat their heads and pat their backs to show their appreciation.

This rebellious young man only felt a joy he had never had before. He hoped that his life would always be so sunny and brilliant.
