Chapter 674 Role Players, Taking Turns to Explode!
8 minutes 11 seconds.
"boom!"
Su Yan tore through Artest's defense, charged into the basket on the left, grabbed the ball and leaped up as if his feet were springy.
He jumped at the same time as Bynum, but his whole body quickly went over half a head of Bynum's head.
next second.
Su Yan practically pinned Bynum's head down, slamming him down hard.
It's very bloody and violent, but extremely cool.
Immediately afterwards... Su Yan then blocked Kobe's attack one-on-one on the defensive end.
The result was that the Lakers failed to score on any of their offensive possessions.
In fact, Kobe's inability to defeat Su Yan dealt a severe blow to the Lakers' morale.
This is the key.
Curry is also exploding; on offense, he's unleashing even more firepower than Paul, and his playmaking is just as impressive.
On the defensive end.
Curry's seriousness about the game and his desire to win made him effective when facing Paul's attacks.
It's not about defending every single attack.
At least... Paul won't be able to attack comfortably.
Same with George.
He was just a rookie, and he wasn't expected to perform very well in the Finals.
He might also play worse and worse due to immense pressure.
But tonight was different. George became more and more courageous as the game progressed, and his defense became more and more exciting.
He also caused a lot of trouble for the "diamond backcourt".
The combined burst of fighting potential from the "New York Three Youngsters" means the "Diamond Backcourt" cannot afford to be weak.
They were even the better team.
This put the Knicks in the lead again, putting the Lakers in a difficult position.
Time is flying by. If they play like this, the Lakers will lose the game. They have no way back and no chance of winning the next game.
There's only one game tonight.
They must win before they are qualified to discuss the future.
But... Kobe and Paul have already done their best, they've already exploded, they've already played very well.
You can't expect them to do better in a short period of time.
So, are the Lakers finished?!
it seems that.
However... with 5 minutes left in the game, Artest stepped up once again.
On the defensive end, he surprisingly defended against one of Su Yan's attacks and also secured the rebound.
On the offensive end, he broke through and attacked the basket with force, drawing the defense's attention before passing the ball to Bynum under the basket on the other side.
"boom!"
A powerful two-handed dunk slammed into the basket.
The "bad guy" displayed his power in both offense and defense.
Then... center Bynum actually blocked one of Curry's attacks from the outside, forcing him to pass the ball.
This sounds incredible.
But at the crucial moment, Bynum stepped up, and he did it.
He also made Curry's passing poor, with the obvious intention of allowing Paul to anticipate and steal the ball, and then execute an excellent play with Kobe.
Curry's attempt to train Bynum this time... failed.
"Little Shark" once again secured the offensive rebound in his own paint, ahead of Chandler.
A second jump.
He attacked Chandler hard, drew another foul, and went to the free-throw line.
Despite making only one of two free throws, he was very aggressive, and his performance in crucial moments was excellent.
George put considerable pressure on Kobe and Paul on the defensive end, and Humphries was unable to score against him when matched up against him.
They could only manage to make a move, albeit with great difficulty.
George won't force a shot, so... Humphries' defense prevents George from attacking.
On the rebounding front, Humphries actively boxed out, preventing George from easily protecting the rim.
As a blue-collar center, he also performed very well in crucial moments.
In the final quarter, in the final five minutes of the decisive battle, the Lakers' role players all stepped up to keep the team alive!
