Chapter 375 Lin Long: It's easy to solve O'Neal, send him to the free throw line!
O'Neal walked to the free throw line almost helplessly. Looking at the basket, O'Neal only felt that the small basket was like his lifeblood, while the basketball in his hand was as big as his stomach.
"Damn it! You bastards, soft bastards! Cowards! Don't you dare to fight against me under the basket?" O'Neal could only use constant abuse to cover up his panic.
He didn't dare to think about making two free throws.
You know, in previous games, if O'Neal made two free throws, it would be enough for him to do a whole dance to celebrate!
"If you don't agree, you can foul me later, and I'll be waiting for you here!"
Lin Long walked to the rebounding position and stood still, looked at O'Neal and said:
"Wait a minute, the rebound must be in my hands, how about I wait for you for 3 seconds and let you foul? 35
Of course, O'Neal knew that Lin Long's free throw shooting rate was terrifyingly high, and after pooh, he stopped bickering with Lin Long and turned his attention to his own free throws.
Take a deep breath, shoot the ball, wipe the sweat, aim and shoot.
Strike iron.
The above actions are performed twice in a row!
Accompanied by the crazy noise of the fans at North Shore Gardens, O'Neal really lived up to expectations and missed both free throws!
Big Ben and Rashid didn't grab the rebound, but stuck Malone and Horry, giving the rebound to Lin Long.
It's not that they are fearless, it's that these two guys are afraid of the Lakers' retaliatory foul play. Rasheed has 70% of his shots, but Big Ben's 30% of the free throws are not as good as O'Neal.
Of course, the most important thing is the strategy that they still find incredible.
Lin Long is the number one free throw shooter in the league! He jumped out, took the basketball in his arms, looked at O'Neal provocatively and said, "How about it, foul or not? If I don't foul, I will advance!
O'Neal, Malone and Horry were all stunned. They were thinking about whether to foul or not, and their thoughts were completely taken away by Lin Long!
With less than 24 seconds left, the Lakers are 3 points behind, and foul tactics are their only option, but the three closest guys to the Lakers were stunned by Lin Long's words.
They thought, 'This guy is so good at free throws, are we going to avenge O'Neal by fouling him.
The difference between the three people's thoughts made Kobe in the backcourt jump with anger and kept shouting:
"Foul! Foul!
On the sidelines, Jackson also stood up angrily, leaving the bench and roaring to let his players foul.
When Horry was the first to react and was about to foul Lin Long, 5 seconds had passed, and Lin Long had passed the ball to Sprewell near the midfield.
Sprewell held the ball for only a moment, and after seeing Kobe rushing over, he threw the ball directly to Aaron Bryant.
After Aaron took the ball, his legs almost turned into two phantoms.
Swinging frantically back and forth on the ground, Aaron also sprinted with the ball.
Fisher had just fouled Aaron when he realized that this guy had already run away a few meters!
Fisher hurriedly chased and tried to foul Aaron quickly, but the distance between the two was unbelievably farther and farther!
Fisher only felt that his lungs were about to burst, and he couldn't catch up with Aaron, who was like a crazy mouse.
Time passed quickly as the two chased and fled.
Until Kobe also surrounded him from the other direction, Fisher and Kobe blocked Aaron in the corner together. Aaron did not choose to force the pass because of his size and vision, but dribbled the ball and wanted to delay for a while. , It's a pity that the route is completely blocked, so that he can no longer run around, Fisher finally successfully completed the foul on Aaron.
There were 25 seconds left in the game when Shaquille O'Neal was fouled and stopped, but Lin Long grabbed the rebound and wasted a full 5 seconds for the Lakers, then Sprewell had another pass, plus Aaron dribbled. The ball rampaged, until Fisher successfully fouled, the game time has only the last 4 seconds.
Celtic's successful tactics, actually wasted a full 20 seconds of time, even when Fisher succeeded in fouling, there are some regrets.
It's better to let them violate the 24-second rule, so that the Lakers can get a 1-second 3-point lore!
But now, as long as Aaron scores a penalty, the game is definitely over.
4 seconds is simply not enough for the Lakers to complete two 3-pointers and a foul.
Not to mention the Lakers' current timeout, with only one remaining.
Therefore, the only hope for the Lakers now is that Aaron misses two free throws!
Aaron on the free throw line is not under pressure, although his free throw percentage is about 70%.
But he knew that as long as he made a free throw and the Celtics led by 4 points, the game would be over!
The entire North Shore Garden was extremely quiet at this time, and all the fans held their breaths and dared not make a sound, for fear of affecting Aaron's free throw.
This 171-centimeter little man has become the focus of attention of tens of millions of people at this moment!
Aaron took a deep breath, and then made a free throw with a very soft posture.
"Huh! 35
Aaron is not O'Neal after all, he withstood the pressure!
Then the second penalty was also successfully hit, and the fans of North Shore Gardens no longer stingy and suppressed their excitement, and everyone cheered!
"Aron! Aron! Aron!"
"Rat! Our favorite mouse!"
"Stay! Next year we will keep fighting! 99
"Auerbach, give him money! Give him some more money!
The fans in the audience cheered Aaron heartily and wished the little man who only had 171 cm, from the undrafted and the developmental league, to step by step.
The Lakers' timeout and the almost desperate 3-pointer that Fisher made after the timeout, no one is paying attention anymore.
Under the repeated pursuit and strategy, the Celtics finally held the home court!
First win of the 1999 NBA Finals!
The excited Aron and his teammates hugged one by one, thanking them for their trust.
In the interview after the game, Aaron directly told the media that it was Lin Long who thought of this tactic and that Lin Long gave him the opportunity. He even went on to say that it was the creation camp organized by Lin Long that allowed him to enter everyone. 's vision.
For Lin Long, Aaron is 100% convinced!
The outside world was once again shocked by Lin Long's brain.
It is hard for them to imagine that an athlete, at this time of the game, can actually have such a calm mind to come up with such a mental tactic that can be called a genius!
But in any case, after a hard fight, the Celtics won the game with a 5-point advantage!
In the whole game, Lin Long scored 47 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, Barkley 14 points and 7 rebounds, Rashid 13 points and 5 rebounds, Billups 11 points and 12 assists, Spur Reville also scored 11 points, coupled with Big Ben's 3 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks, the Celtics once again played a game full of their style.
On the Lakers side, the inside double tower O'Neal scored 34 points and 19 rebounds, Malone also had 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Kobe also scored 29 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
It's a pity that apart from these three, the Lakers have no fourth person to score in double figures, and the support from other teammates is too little, especially Scottie Pippen, who has won five championships. , the second leader of the Bulls, in the matchup with Lin Long, he was completely blown away, and Lin Long defended 0 for 3 shots and scored no points. In the end, he even fell directly by Lin Long. , left the field early due to injury.
Tonight is not just a night of pain in Los Angeles, it's a night of pain that Pippen will never want to look back on in his entire life.
