Chapter 409 The Lakers Defend!
As the finals continued, information about Yao Ming once again flooded all sports pages!
A short video about all the players of the Rockets pushed Yao Ming, the giant of the East, into the eyes of all fans!
"It is reported that the Rockets have started contacting Yao Ming's Chinese agent. Once the Rockets finally get the Chinese side's consent, they will continue to guarantee their tradition of being a center forward."
The emergence of this news made Bruce suddenly think of Yao Ming's rather mysterious agent, who was also an important figure in Yao's team, Zhang Mingji.
It was because of his pleasantries that the relationship between Yao Ming, the Rockets and the Basketball Association gradually developed in a positive direction!
As the Basketball Association finally agreed to a series of guarantees from the Rockets, they finally decided that Yao Ming will participate in this year's draft as soon as possible!
With the final agreement of the Basketball Association and the Rockets' promise not to trade Yao Ming, it seems that the biggest farce of the summer is about to come to an end!
After seeing this news, Bruce couldn't help being very excited for Yao Ming's final participation in the draft!
As a fake fan of the Rockets in the previous life, it was Yao Ming's joining that made Bruce gradually pay attention to the NBA and the Rockets with Chinese players!
Bruce couldn't help laughing every time he thought of being yelled at by his boss for watching the Rockets game in his previous life!
Now, since Yao Ming was about to achieve his final goal, Bruce couldn't hide his excitement, so he opened a bottle of red wine and celebrated Yao Ming from the air!
This season, because Bruce sent Carter to the Spurs, in this year's draft, after retaining their first-round pick, they still have a draft pick from the Knicks and a pick from the year in the second round. The second-round draft pick from the trade with the Bucks!
These three picks are also very attractive to some teams, especially the first round picks. Due to the current situation of each team and the luxury tax set by the league, the first round picks have gradually become some teams. The meat and potatoes in the hands of the team.
Therefore, if the Warriors release the news of trading the first-round pick, there must still be a large number of teams in the league interested in the pick in his hand!
Now, what Bruce has to do is to wait patiently, waiting for the end of the finals, only in this way can he start a series of investigations and the feasibility of the transaction!
On June 6th, with the start of the third finals, all fans are concerned about whether the Nets can win two games at their home court in order to continue to attack the championship!
In the first quarter, under the outbreak of O'Neal, Fisher and Kobe, the Lakers led the Nets with a score of 31:23 and ended the first quarter of the competition!
The performance of the Lakers made a large number of fans think that they will easily win this game!
However, with the second quarter, Byron Scott focused on deploying defensive tactics for the Nets players!
In this section of the confrontation, the Nets finally overtook the Lakers by two points in a single quarter and returned to the locker room by virtue of their multi-faceted blooming!
After a short break in midfield, the Nets once again showed impressive defensive skills.
Under Kidd's tandem, the Nets played extremely smoothly on both the offensive and defensive ends, while the Lakers seemed to have once again fallen into their old habit of slack in the second half!
After the third quarter, the Nets directly tied the score.
The explosion of the Nets has caused the home fans to fall into great excitement. If they can win this game, the Nets will have a huge respite, and if they lose, they will further push them into the abyss!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers and the Nets started a suffocating battle!
For the Lakers here, O'Neal has just completed a dunk, and Kidd over there will use a mid-range shot or a breakthrough to score two points!
For a time, the two teams played extremely high quality offensively and defensively, especially the arrows of the two teams. They used their extremely strong abilities to brazenly resist their respective teams. A loss will be inevitable!
The intense and exciting battle made the Lakers players seem to be playing against the Warriors. Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, they are all under tremendous pressure!
As time went by, the Nets relied on Kidd's five points in a row, making them once ahead of the Lakers. However, this time, the Lakers used very smooth cooperation to always resist the Nets' offensive!
When the time entered the last 20 seconds, the two teams scored 103:100 outrageously!
As time goes by, the Nets desperately need a two-pointer, or even a three-pointer to keep them alive. Once the time is running out, they will have no choice but to lose the game!
In the last 5 minutes, the Lakers have been suppressing the momentum of the Nets under the sharing style of play of Kobe, O'Neal, and Rick Fox and others!
If Kidd hadn't frequently continued his life for the Nets, I'm afraid they would have lost the game very quickly!
After 15 seconds, when the Nets were about to implement a foul strategy, Kobe opened his hand for a three-pointer, making the Lakers directly ahead of the Nets by 6 points. If the Nets can attack with a After a quick three-pointer, they can also rely on fouls to get back the score. Once a mistake occurs, they will instantly fall to the edge of the cliff!
For a moment, the home court of the Nets suddenly fell into a state of solemnity, and all the fans silently prayed for their home team!
"drop!!"
A whistle interrupted Scott, who was still arranging tactics, and with a desperate momentum, the Nets players returned to the court one after another!
Kidd quickly got rid of Fisher's entanglement, and when he received a pass from his teammate, he quickly ran forward!
As the head star of the Nets, Kidd's decision will bring huge changes to the team!
I saw him quickly coming outside the three-point line at the top arc, watching the rapidly passing time, when the timer showed that there were only 6 seconds left, he hurriedly shot the basketball out!
"Shhh!!"
A light sound caused a huge shock to the home fans and Nets fans. Everyone cheered for this precious goal with the loudest voice!
Amidst the huge cheers, Fisher, who was standing on the bottom line, passed the ball directly to the extremely fast Kobe!
The moment Kobe took the ball, he was like an agile cheetah, breaking through Jefferson's pull defense very quickly!
With only 3 seconds left, Kobe, who had already run to the frontcourt, simply threw the basketball into the air!
"drop!!"
A flute sounded indicating the end of the time, and it sounded at the same time as the basketball was about to fall. The occurrence of this situation caused the Nets' home court to suddenly fall into silence. They all felt unacceptable to this result!
"It seems that the Nets still can't escape their established destiny!" Looking at the lonely Nets players on TV, Bruce couldn't help but sigh for them!
Since the Nets experienced Kidd's joining, they have gradually stood at the peak of the Eastern Conference with an astonishing record.
However, based on their experience in the playoffs and finals, they really don't have much advantage against the Lakers!
Now, they can end the first three games with two small losses and one big defeat. For them, they have already performed very amazingly!
After the Lakers won this game, everyone thought they would continue their way to defend their title, and no one was worried about whether they would win the championship!
In history, no team can complete the final comeback when they are behind 0:3. The Nets, a strong dark horse, are even less likely to accomplish this feat!
On June 6th, when the Lakers narrowly beat the Nets by 12 points 113:107 at the home court of the Nets, all the players of the Lakers shouted excitedly, as if they could only vent their emotions in this way Express your excitement.
In the last ten years of the NBA, the only team that can create a dynasty is the Bulls led by Jordan.
Now, the Lakers have excitingly won another three consecutive championships, and they are already comparable to the second dynasty of the Bulls!
The NBA in the 90s focused on superstars, making the performance of some other players not perfect.
Of course, the Bull trio must be put aside!
In the late 90s and early [-]th century, after a series of rules implemented by the league, in the case of diversified play styles, there have been very big changes on both offensive and defensive ends, the most serious being the defensive end!
In order to further promote the NBA around the world, a series of rules and requirements promulgated by Stern are all admiration for offense!
Under this style of play, the iron and blood defense of the 90s has obviously gradually become lonely!
The final victory of the Lakers caused all the teams in the league to fall into silence. No team wanted to block their footsteps and create another dynasty!
Of course, Bruce is not inferior to those team owners!
The end of the finals means that the draft is about to begin!
Among all the rookies this year, Jay Williams is undoubtedly the biggest favorite of the No. [-] pick. However, with the entry of Yao Ming and the commitment made by the Rockets, he can only be placed under the No. [-] pick!
"Jerry Krause, a miser, is really amazing!" Bruce handed the newspaper to Wilkens playfully, feeling extremely amused by the news on it!
"Aha, this guy is really persistent!" Wilkens couldn't help laughing after seeing the news!
It turned out that after bringing a large number of talented rookies to the Bulls, Krause made a series of adjustments to the lineup.
With the completion of the big deal with the Pacers, this makes them look extremely thin at the point guard position while the players are younger!
Therefore, when Jay Williams showed great talent and potential, they won the second pick of this year, and they locked him directly!
After that, Yao Ming's problem got a great turning point when the Sharks were willing to negotiate with the Basketball Association!
The Basketball Association has also gradually released some favorable words. What the result will be will be the final result some time before the start of the draft on the 26th!
Yao Ming is about to appear, and the road to the Warriors' dynasty has begun
