BAB 42
The tactic devised by coach Delmar Harris was Michael Udin setting the screen for Nick Van Exel and causing the opponent to change defenses so Nick Van Exel could make a big shot from outside the three-point line.
Nick Van Exel had to choose to break through against Charles Barkley. If Olajuwon manages to defend, he will split the ball to the person who has the best chance.
The basic tactic is like this. The players of both teams have also returned to the field. The home fans had stood up to watch the game, and they were doing their best to make a fuss.
Elden Campbell serves the ball in midfield. Nick Van Exel received the ball after Kobe and Michael Udin had cleared twice. He is now looking up at the center circle logo area and piloting the 24 second timer, waiting one second. One second passed.
Kobe and Eddie Jones each had a bottom corner, while Michael Udin and Elden Campbell were low on either side.
With eight seconds remaining, Michael Udin picked up Charles Barkley and raced over the three-point line, but when slowing down to prepare for a pick-and-roll, Charles Barkley finished overtaking in two steps!
Both Derek Fisher and Charles Barkley were known to be strong, and Nick Van Exel, who was a little petite, lost his sight.
Michael Udin hastily ran diagonally behind Nick Van Exel to ask for the ball, in a panic Nick Van Exel did not pay attention to Michael Udin's position and immediately grabbed the ball.
At this time, Michael Udin was already standing in a blind spot in the first round, that is, in front of the technical stage, Charles Barkley immediately stepped forward and blocked Michael Udin in it!
Michael Udin has no dribble space. Charles Barkley suppressed his every step. He could no longer back down, otherwise he would have returned to the field as an example.
In desperation, Michael Udin could only take off on the spot. Luckily, Kobe caught the ball and saved his urgent need. When Michael Udin passes the ball into Kobe's hands, there are only five seconds of offensive time left!
Kobe quickly started throwing Drexler and breaking into baskets. Olajuwon made his defense. Kobe couldn't open fire against his aerial confrontation. He could only utilize his superpowers to shoot Elden Campbell!
As soon as Elden Campbell was about to make a layup, Olajuwon returned to his defenses in an instant after landing!
"Pass the ball!"
Michael Udin, who was running from midfield, had already entered the three second zone, and he was screaming loudly!
While Charles Barkley was still gritting his teeth and chasing, the two of them had already opened a considerable distance.
Elden Campbell hit the ball and found Michael Udin, who was on the right at high speed, and Olajuwon had defended the third Lakers man in just seconds.
As soon as Michael Udin raised his hand after receiving the ball, Olajuwon flew away, Michael Udin didn't know how much offensive time he had left, and he didn't dare to dribble again.
Jump straight to the left and hit the bounce with your left hand!
The twenty-four second timer rings at the same time!
The Rockets outfield and substitute players desperately signaled to the referee that the foul was overtime.
The Lakers players pointed their fingers little by little to show that the goal was effective, and the head coaches of both teams were also very passionate and stubborn.
The referee was quickly surrounded. The referee exchanged a few sentences to signal everyone to calm down and they needed to watch the video replay.
The players on the field will return to their homes for a while, and the Lakers players high five with Michael Udin.
As professionals, they could all conclude that Michael Udin had a shot before 24 seconds.
"If the goal isn't legal, we'll be man-to-man, and we'll change defense when we're up against a pick-and-roll. Our foul count has arrived. Be careful not to commit any fouls!"
Although the chances of not scoring a goal were slim, Delmar Harris emphasized this situation.
"Of course, we will definitely return to the game with a three-point advantage.
If the opponent makes a quick two-pointer, we'll send him a layup, and then Elden will serve at the baseline. I was very relieved with the other four free throws.
If the opponent blocks a three-point shot, he will resolutely stop shooting. After a while, the Rockets will definitely put five men who can shoot three-pointers. We can't make double teams!"
After Delmar Harris set up the final attack and defence, the referee made their judgment. The crowd booed and Michael Udin's key goal was effective!
Rockets 7.6 seconds!
Judge Olajuwon served from the halfway line, and Elden Campbell faced him, and the other eight were scattered.
The referee passed the ball into Dream's hands, and the others started running. After two screens, Derek Fisher received a serve from Dream.
Nick Van Exel immediately stepped up and killed his opponent. I can, and I can shoot three points, absolutely not!
The first thing Hakim Olajuwon does after he runs onto the court after serving is picks and rolls for Derek Fisher, and Nick Van Exel is ready to change defense!
Derek Fisher dribbled to the left with the help of the screen, and Nick Van Exel, who got into Olajuwon's arms from a big dream, also completed the defense!
Against Elden Campbell's defence, Derek Fisher didn't play big right away, as moments like these weren't the stage, and Charles Barkley could only stand aside.
Derek Fisher returns the ball to Olajuwon. Olajuwon dribbled towards the three-point line against Nick Van Exel. The Lakers small guard was lobbed from two yards and Olajuwon pulled the ball back. Retreat step three jumper figures!
When Judge Olajuwon fires, everyone rushes to the basket like crazy. Michael Udin was very clear about his mission, which was to get Charles Barkley as far from the basket as possible. !
Michael Udin against his opponent at full strength
Olajuwon's three-pointer missed, Peter Pan Kobe pulled a green onion on dry ground, and furiously took the rebound!
Drexler was quick on the offense and looking to save some life for the Houston Rockets, while Michael Udin was hurled to the ground by an excited Charles Barkley!
The referee's whistle sounds! The Lakers bench all jumps to celebrate the win first!
Kobe also calmly walked to the opponent's half court to prepare for free throws!
But the Rockets fans started cheering!
The bottom line referee pointed to Michael Udin who was lying on the ground, and signaled that he committed a foul in the process of grabbing the rebound!
"What??? I violated???"
Michael Udin rushed and stood up to look for the referee's theory.
"You are blocking Barkley's route illegally. This is a clear violation!"
The referee said to Michael Udin in an unquestionable tone, and the other two deputy referees also supported the referee's decision.
"Barkley dragged me down!!!
Why is this a violation for me?
After all, the position of the two of us is not a point to rebound! ! ! "
Michael Udin controlled his tone and words as much as possible.
"I can see clearly, please don't question my authority.
I give you a verbal warning, if you need to negotiate, please ask your captain to let me know. "
The referee pulled his face and blew the whistle.
When Kobe saw this, he rushed over and chased Michael Udin away with his teammates.
"It's okay, don't get excited!
We're still three points ahead."
Kobe pulled Michael Udin out of the referee's field of view, and he pointed at the scoreboard to calm Michael Udin.
"I was violated and still call me a foul?
Isn't this a nuisance?
Barkley holding his thigh is also equipped with a celebrity whistle? "
Despite knowing that the Lakers still lead by three points, Michael Udin was angry. In fact, the referee did not give Charles Barkley the star whistle. They may not like Michael Udin's asian skin
The entire NBA league has great prejudice against Asians,.
