Chapter 271 [Rookie breaks record! 】
The Lakers attacked, Payton led the half to Kobe...≦
Kobe did not look for Medvedonko to cover, and directly beat Kittles one-on-one. He drove a step and almost jumped on the three-point line and bounced out of the box.
O'Neal rushed to grab the frontcourt rebound, and Martin hurriedly fouled and sent him a free throw.
The flaw of the small ball tactics is the protection of the basket, which makes O'Neal more difficult to defend. The Nets' plan is to chop the sharks and then fight for attack.
O'Neal made one of two free throws, 79-70. He failed to make the second free throw, and the rebound was grabbed by Martin, and it was passed on Kidd to play a positional battle.
The formation was widened, Rodney attracted Medvedenko from the left corner, George defended Kittels, Kobe and Wang Jun, and Payton faced Kidd.
There is obvious misalignment on the field, that is, O'Neal defends Martin, and he is not the same size at all. Martin's mobility is stronger than many defenders.
He went to the right 60 degrees to help Wang Jun get rid of Kobe and go to the bottom corner, and Kidd passed the ball.
O'Neal stopped as soon as he saw Kobe chasing the defense, stood in the penalty area and watched Martin. Wang Jun received the ball from the bottom corner and made a jump shot. Kobe was slow and didn't even jump, but just stretched out his hand.
The ball was hollow and Wang Jun scored 23rd and the seventh three-pointer.
82 to 70. The Nets lead and double digits.
"Another!" Zhang Heli shouted: "Wang Jun is crazy. His first finals in his career, he has tied a record of NBA and a player's three-pointer in a single game."
Yu Jia continued: "Wang Jun is the most critical person when the Nets can beat the Lakers today."
Zhang Heli excitedly introduced: "The record of three-point shooting in the finals was maintained by Bulls Scotty Pippen and Rockets veteran Kenny Smith. In the 1995 Rockets vs. Magic series, Smith made 7 three-pointers in a single game; in the 1997 Bulls vs. Jazz series, Pippen also made 7 three-pointers. It is a very amazing achievement to be able to hit 7 three-pointers under such defensive pressure in the finals."
Heavy pressure? Wang Jun feels that this is much easier than the defense he faces when playing against the Pistons.
Even when NCAA beats Wade, his opponent's pick-and-roll defense is more timely than O'Neal's switch to defense.
He felt that the Lakers had a bit of a dream.
The Lakers attacked. The Nets' formation was shrinking, and Wang Jun defended Payton in the middle, took a step and half a distance, preventing breakouts but not shooting.
Payton had the opportunity to shoot three-pointers, without taking any moves, and did not break through, and passed it to Kobe. As soon as he broke through the Nets, the formation shrank. After trying a few times, he no longer broke through and attacked.
Payton seemed to be ten years older. His skills were still there and he lost confidence.
He may be able to beat Wang Jun in a single fight, but Wang Jun is not the only one in the Nets, and he will not give him the chance to easily break into the basket. He is too far away from the basket and he is not sure.
Kobe was not sure, but he would always dare to take action, and even if he didn't score, he would dare to shoot a goal until he made a shot. This was the case when he first entered the league.
He swung a little outside the three-point line, pulled a jump shot, and missed under the interference of Kittles.
The Lakers need someone to break through and pass the ball to attract defense and create open spaces for teammates, which is also what the coach emphasized many times. But Kobe gave up the breakthrough and kept jumping from mid-range and long distance. He made 1 of 6 three-pointers.
After entering the playoffs, Kobe's three-point shooting percentage was only 24.9%, but he averaged nearly 5 shots per game. Once he made a move, his opponents were basically ready to grab rebounds.
Jackson said that he was making efficiency guaranteed. Kobe just thought he was fart. Of course, even so, his superstar status is still hard to shake.
Because for most fans, playing beautifully is far more important than winning. This is why Duncan has a high winning rate, but his popularity is far less than Kobe.
Many superstars can score five goals frequently and make fans shout wildly for several consecutive games. As for how many games the team loses and how many consecutive losses they have suffered, fans will soon forget it, and will never even remember it.
If you don’t break through, it’s not entirely Kobe.
The defender needs space to break through. O'Neal has been at the low post, attracting the opponent's inside line to the low post. Even if the Nets don't shrink the formation, there is not much room left for the Lakers defender.
In the final analysis, the Lakers are in trouble because the Ok combination is pulling each other. The fact that partners can make trouble to this point is probably the only one in NBA history.
Pulling the hind legs is also reflected in the defensive end.
The net team pulled away, and Wang Jun played with Martin without the ball to get rid of Kobe.
The selfless Kidd immediately passed the ball. He wanted to win the ball, but he didn't care that he couldn't win the finals MVP.
O'Neal was not so straightforward when he went out, especially Kobe's defender. Kobe didn't seem to want O'Neal to change defense or help, so he had already called out if he had changed to a net team player.
It is unforgivable to have obvious loopholes. The same loopholes of the Lakers have appeared countless times in one game and are not compensated at all.
Wang Jun got an open spot on the right corner again, Kobe didn't catch up. From the opening to now, she didn't have a minute to rest and was too lazy to jump. Wang Jun made a easy move and made a three-pointer. 85 to 70.
"It's a record-breaking, Wang Jun made the eighth three-pointer, which is simply unbelievable." Zhang Heliu shouted.
"The Lakers look like the situation is over." Yu Jia smiled.
On the other hand, Barkley and Smith also decided that the Lakers were finished.
Smith analyzed: "The Lakers have problems with both offense and defense, and the players don't know which way to attack the opponent's defense. The Nets are much easier than when playing the Pistons."
Barkley smiled and said, "Your three-point record in the finals was broken by a rookie. What do you think now? Do you really want to go up and help the Lakers defend Wang Jun?"
Smith said frankly: "This record is not important to me. The performance of the Nets team made all experts look at it. Malone's injuries are not yet determined, and it seems that he is seriously injured. If he can't play next, the Nets team will be closer to the championship."
The game continued, with 34 points already scored O'Neal in the key position in the interior, and Martin defended alone.
Payton hung the ball in, O'Neal fought one-on-one, and Martin didn't foul this time, just tried his best to interfere. O'Neal turned around with the ball and dunked with one hand. 85 to 72.
The Nets attacked the same tactics, O'Neal defended Rodney on the other side, regardless of Wang Jun.
After the pick-and-roll, Medveden was more reliable in defense, and Wang Jun took the ball and gave it to Martin.
Martin squeezed out Kobe's low post to receive the ball, attracting O'Neal to retreat and failing to shoot. The ball was divided into the bottom corner on the left. Rodney flicked the open position, attracting George to make up for defense and pass again.
Kittels got an open position 60 degrees on the left, and the jump shot was hollowed into the net. 88 to 72.
Brush! For home fans, this is the most wonderful note, and for Lakers and fans who support them, it is like a death talisman.
When he needed to chase points the most, Kobe still did not give O'Neal, who had a clear advantage on the field, and did not rely on pick-and-roll, and he had to fight Kittles alone, and made a quick stop and jump shot from the three-point line.
The Nets did not rush to get a rebound and did not rush to break fast, landed on the position to play pick-and-roll, Rodney failed to make a three-pointer, the chance was good, and the Lakers' defense line had collapsed.
A minute later, Wang Jun relied on cover to get rid of Kobe and caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
On the Lakers side, Kobe played four irons in a row, and the score difference widened to more than 20 points.
Chapter completed!
