Next, whenever O'Neal asked for the ball in the paint, Mim would act as a human shield and withstand O'Neal's first wave of attacks.
Once he turned over and entered the restricted area, Kobe and Lin Hao would block O'Neal from behind, pinch him from the front, and cut him from the side.
Atkins is responsible for cutting off the Sharks' passing lanes to the weak side.
Colin's cooperation was like a tight net, making it difficult for O'Neal to play.
With the success of the defense, the Lakers' offense gradually found its rhythm.
The score was getting closer and closer, and the audience's emotions were completely ignited.
The game entered the final critical moment, with 2 minutes left and the score was 84:89, with the Lakers trailing by 5 points.
Pat Riley finally called a timeout.
When Lin Hao walked to the bench, several players surrounded him and looked at him eagerly.
Even Caron Butler offered him a Gatorade.
Lin Hao's performance on the court completely impressed him.
Offensively, he scored 18 points on 51% shooting against three-time All-Defensive selection Eddie Jones.
On the defensive end, they held Flash Wade to 5 of 17 shots and only scored 12 points.
Moreover, 2 of the 5 goals Wade made were scored when Lin Hao was resting.
In addition, Lin Hao and Kobe successfully restricted O'Neal.
"Lin, can you keep up with the physical condition?"
The Zen master looked at Lin Hao who was gasping for breath and asked worriedly.
"No problem, only 2 minutes left, I can hold on a little longer."
Lin Hao said.
His physical strength reached 96 points, and he also had Hamilton's endurance.
Even so, his physical strength was almost reaching its limit.
Although Lin Hao can take physical potion, there is only one bottle of potion.
After winning the regular season, the probability of drawing a reward was very low, and he was reluctant to take it.
"Brother, you've done enough. Now it's up to me!"
Kobe patted Lin Hao on the shoulder, and the two people's eyes met in the air.
In the next game, Kobe fulfilled his promise and successfully tied the score with a three-pointer, two free throws and a jump shot.
However, the Heat's least noticeable player stood out - Damon Jones.
With 5 seconds left, he was wide open outside the three-point line.
After receiving the pass from Wade, he jumped, shot, and the basketball went into the net!
The Heat bench was instantly boiling with cheers and screams resounding through the sky.
The atmosphere in Staples Center was extremely tense.
Phil Jackson looked serious, but did not call a timeout.
He believes that Kobe and Lin Hao, two big-hearted players, have the ability to solve the current predicament.
Lakers ball.
As soon as Kobe received the ball, Wade, Damon Jones, and Haslem clung to him tightly, leaving almost no room for maneuver.
Three people double team!
Pat Riley actually triple-teamed him.
Kobe moved with difficulty under the pressure of his opponents, but could not find any chance to shoot.
"here!"
Lin Hao got out with the help of Odom's cover.
As soon as he broke free from Eddie Jones's defense, Kobe's pass arrived.
After Lin Hao received the ball, he jumped up and shot a three-pointer without hesitation.
"damn it!"
Eddie Jones pounced on Lin Hao like a tiger pouncing on its prey, raising his long arms high in an attempt to block the shot.
"Shh!"
"Snapped!"
The basketball went into the net and Jones committed a foul.
There are only 0.6 seconds left and the score is now 91:91.
The stadium was instantly boiling, the cheers were deafening, and the audience was in a frenzy.
Their man who repeatedly turned the tide in the finals created another miracle with his 38-second 16-point performance.
Victory is in sight.
As long as we make that damn free throw, we win!
"Dad, we only tied the score, why are you all so happy?"
In the audience, a little boy asked his father curiously.
The boy's father said with a smile, "Our Lin can even make such a difficult three-pointer, so a free throw is no big deal for him, right?"
“Yes, yes!”
