Chapter 556 The first score in a single game in the finals

   At this time, the ball arrived, and the Knicks' double team arrived, with O'Neal in the back, Jordan up, small forward Kersey in the front, and Oakley in the bottom.

   The Knicks impressively double-teamed him with four players, only point guard Ward didn't come down.

The moment    received the ball, Pharaoh squatted down to join the ball, and in the next moment, when the four-person team was formed, he suddenly burst into a back arch.

  The fierce iron mountain leaned against him, and O'Neill staggered backwards like a landslide.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!

   At this moment, three big hands hit Pharaoh's hands, but his ten fingers were too strong to knock the ball off.

   In the next instant, Pharaoh turned around and burst into the air like a giant dragon breaking through the cage.

"boom!"

   With the violent explosion of the basket, he hung above the basket, with O'Neal, Jordan and other three standing around in despair.

   This scene was seen by countless people and was extremely shocking.

   This scene was frozen by the media reporters behind the bottom line.

  Pharaoh fell to the floor, glanced down at O'Neal on the floor, glanced sideways at Jordan again, took a deep breath and roared loudly: "Remember, you can't stop me, this is my era, my era!"

"damn it!"

  Jordan was sprayed with saliva all over his face and was so angry that he vomited blood.

   "Clap clap clap..."

  Madison Square Garden, there were very warm applause and cheers. In addition to the 3,000 away fans, there were also a large number of New York fans cheering and applauding for Pharaoh.

   "The Tiejun has exerted his strength in the last quarter. If the Knicks can't stop the Lakers' offense and defense, the Lakers are likely to win this game." Zhang Lili said in high spirits.

   "Match point, you must win it." Su Qun said excitedly.

  90:87, Pharaoh added a penalty, and the Knicks had called a timeout in advance.

  Phil Jackson sighed and called a timeout in advance, but he couldn't prevent Old K from hitting his own morale again. Although he is only three points behind now, the situation is already a bit bad, and the balance of victory is tilting towards the Lakers.

  O'Neal sat back on the bench like sleepwalking, his eyes blank and dazed.

  Jordan spit out the chewing gum, while refilling the energy water, while breathing, he couldn't take care of O'Neal next to him. Old K's explosion at both ends of the offense and defense also caused great pressure on him.

   The timeout ended soon, Pharaoh missed a penalty, Oakley protected the rebound, and the Knicks attacked.

  Jordan glanced at O'Neal inside. Outside the paint area, he didn't have an active position, and knew that the ball was up to him.

   "Squeaky..."

After    continuous technical moves, he got rid of Kobe, took the ball to the flank, and rushed to the paint area.

  Fortson lost Oakley and came up to make up the defense. Jordan gave Oakley the ball, Oakley made a jumper and hit a ball.

  90:89, Lakers offense.

  Pharaoh moved to the basket again.

   On the sidelines, Phil Jackson saw Old K's actions, and instantly reminded him of the painful memory of Old K's attacking the Bulls' basket again and again in the first three finals, and he couldn't help but sigh.

  On the court, Jordan is the same. He didn't have a strong center teammate before, but now he has a big shark around him. Why is old K still so unscrupulous?

   "Shaq, guard him!"

   At this time, he suddenly shouted sharply at O'Neal.

   Hearing Jordan's hoarse voice, O'Neal only felt his scalp explode.

   The next moment, Pharaoh, who was about to enter the reasonable collision zone, suddenly put his right elbow on the top, holding O'Neal in front of him, and then raised his left hand and shook it.

   "I want the ball!" Su Qun shouted excitedly.

   "Whoosh!"

   Kobe suddenly jumped with both feet and threw the ball from Jordan's head to the basket. Jordan responded quickly, but by the time he took off, the ball had already passed.

  O'Neal saw the ball coming in, and quickly turned around and grabbed Pharaoh's right arm with both hands. When Pharaoh took off to catch the ball, he yanked it down sharply.

   "Di!"

  The whistle rang.

   "O'Neal made the fourth foul. Now he can only stop the old K's basket attack by fouling." Barkley laughed.

   "This foul doesn't make any sense," Kenny Smith said.

   "His heart is already messed up, and his morale is dead." Bill Wharton shook his head.

   Walking to the free throw line, Pharaoh took a few breaths, pulled up his jersey to wipe off the sweat, then took the ball thrown by the referee and started dribbling.

   After six dribbles, take a deep breath, and just as Pharaoh was about to throw the ball, the Knicks cheerleader behind the baseline suddenly jumped up and raised his legs.

"boom!"

  Pharaoh admitted that his concentration was a bit lacking, his big white legs swayed his eyes, and he missed the first penalty.

   On the sidelines, Magic Johnson said to Jerry West: "Jerry, after I look back, I ask our cheerleaders to take an hour a day to perform high leg lifts for Old K."

   "You go and tell him." West nodded.

   "No, I'm afraid his wife will kick me out of the trading company." The magician quickly shook his head.

"boom!"

  Pharaoh missed two free throws, O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

   "Congratulations to the Knicks, at a critical moment, your cheerleading team has made a contribution." In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley joked with a smile.

   Bill Walton also joked: "If the Knicks really have no choice, they can take advantage of the home court to carry forward this defensive tactic, and maybe they can get match point with this."

   "I'm afraid that after the Lakers go back, they will also do this to O'Neal. The next two games are the Lakers' home games." Kenny Smith said.

"Ha ha…"

   The three of them laughed.

"brush!"

   A pull-up jumper, Jordan hit another ball, and the Knicks overtook a point.

  The Lakers attacked, and Pharaoh went to the basket again.

  The eyes of the audience once again converged on the Knicks' basket.

  Bryant transferred the ball first and gave it to Fox on the right wing. At this time, Pharaoh began to wrestle with O'Neal on the edge of the reasonable collision zone.

   "Don't think about it!"

  O'Neal vented and frantically fought with Pharaoh, but at this moment, Pharaoh, who was in full power, suddenly stepped up and reached out to Fox for the ball.

"not good!"

  The Knicks saw that Old K suddenly flashed upwards, and O'Neal, who was wrestling, threw forward and almost fell.

   Fortunately, O'Neal's left hand grabbed a handful of old K's left arm and used strength to stabilize it.

   "Whoosh!"

   Fox passes.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh had O'Neal on his left elbow and caught the ball with his right hand. In the next instant, between steps, he turned over and smashed the dunk.

   It was too late to use his hands, and O'Neal pulled with one hand.

"boom!"

   "Di!"

   The next moment, the sound of smashing the basket sounded, the whistle also rang, and Pharaoh was turned over to the ground.

   The referee immediately scored two points, drew a foul and added a penalty.

   "This is bad, O'Neal fouled five times in a row." Bill Walton sighed.

   "The Knicks don't dare to remove O'Neal. Old K will definitely continue to storm the basket. As long as O'Neal is played, the Lakers will win today!" Barkley said.

"brush!"

   This time, Pharaoh didn't get dazzled by his big white legs, and he hit with a penalty.

  93:91, the Lakers lead by 2 points, the Knicks attack.

  Jordan broke through with the ball, smashed through all defenses on the right wing, entered the paint, forced Pharaoh to return to the basket, and then took the opportunity to score the ball to O'Neal.

   Under the basket, at the moment when Jordan scored the ball, a very determined look appeared in Pharaoh's eyes.

   He has been avoiding being dunked all the time. When he is at the rim, when he needs the most determined rim protection, his defense is often not the most determined time.

   The time he blocked O'Neal just now was not a frontal blocking, but a side blocking. That is, O'Neal had just received the ball and hadn't exerted any force yet, otherwise he would not be able to hold it down and would likely fail to block.

   Now, when the team comes to the most critical time, if they win this game, they will get the match point. In the next two home games, the Lakers can basically establish the victory.

   Now, it is time for his contribution.

   "Does it self-destruct after being detained five times? System, I'm strong enough now, if you want to destroy it, destroy it!"

   In the past, he would dodge, get out of the basket, or block from the side, but this time, he didn't dodge and jumped straight at O'Neal.

"what?"

   Catching the ball in the air, O'Neal, who was about to dunk, couldn't help but stunned when he saw Old K's two big hands lifted up in front of him and blocked in front of the basket.

   At this time in the past, wouldn't the coward old K always get out of the way?

"Snapped!"

   In the next instant, O'Neill with the arrow on the string dunked his hands and smashed directly on the hands of Pharaoh.

   At this moment, the two giant beasts wrestled in the air.

"boom!"

   The next moment, Pharaoh was smashed back to the floor by O'Neal, and the basket on his head was smashed vigorously.

"Oh!"

   Then there was an exclamation from Madison Square Garden.

   "Have you been detained?"

  Pharaoh's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up, he saw that the ball had already flown into the sky.

   "Duck fly?!"

   At this moment, he laughed wildly in his heart.

What he laughs at is not that he succeeded in blocking this time, but that he opened a taboo in his heart. From then on, he can protect the rim unscrupulously under the basket. Any opponent who enters the paint area will encounter his strongest defense. .

   Level 98 for solo defense, level 96 for assist defense, and level 95 for blocking. He can be the most feared rim protector in this league.

"Snapped!"

   Moved the card position, he stuck O'Neal, jumped at the moment the ball fell, and caught the ball.

   "It's so beautiful! At the critical moment, Old K played a strong defense, and he broke out at both ends of the offense and defense!" Barkley roared excitedly.

   Came to the frontcourt, and while moving towards the basket, Pharaoh shouted at O'Neal: "Come to guard me, little sardine, let me send you off the court."

   "Don't think about it!"

  O'Neal posted it frantically, and the two immediately started a round of hand-to-hand combat.

   "Don't foul!" Jordan warned loudly.

   When Jordan was distracted, Kobe passed the ball in, the direction was the left side of the basket, Pharaoh's side.

When    Wang received the ball, the Knicks' double-team was one step slower.

At this time, almost everyone's physical fitness has collapsed, they can't run, and they can't play high-quality defense anymore. Even Jordan can only watch Old K catch the ball and then play in the basket. Place a single against O'Neal, and he is still more than one meter away from the old K.

  Pharaoh received the ball with one hand without any fake action. With his left elbow against O'Neal between his sides, he forcibly stood up and split his legs vigorously with one hand.

"boom!"

  O'Neal took off and sealed the cover and was directly buckled.

"Oh!"

   Seeing O'Neal being detained like this, everyone on the Knicks side was very surprised.

   Being eaten by opponents at the basket, this is what the big shark does to others every day, but now he is being forcefully eaten at the basket.

  Larry Bird, Iverson, Mourning, Mutobom, etc., who were watching the game from the sidelines, were particularly shocked by this dunk.

Eating O'Neal under the basket, dunking the big shark, and treating the big shark as nothing, this is absolute crushing, crushing strength and willpower, this is an invincible performance from physical to technical to spiritual will .

   A while ago, the people sitting in the front court all stood up and applauded, cheering for the ball.

  O'Neal blankly turned around and glanced at Jordan who told him not to foul. The morale in his heart was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Jordan leaned down in a breath, resting his hands on his knees.

   "Yah! Ya!"

  Pharaoh finished the dunk, roared excitedly, waved his fists vigorously, and celebrated with his teammates who rushed over.

"yeah!"

When the dunk happened, the Lakers cheered suddenly, the Knicks were dead silent, and then more and more Knicks fans began to cheer for the Pharaoh's offense.

   "Old K blew up O'Neal on both ends of the offense and defense, and the Knicks fans started to defect!" Bill Walton shook his head and sighed.

   "The big shark is out of morale. In the face of such a humiliating dunk, he didn't even use fouls to stop the old K. His will has been completely defeated by the old K." Barkley shook his head.

  95:91, Knicks offense.

   The difference was not big, but Phil Jackson called a timeout.

  Unfortunately, the suspension will not solve the Knicks' current problems.

  O'Neal committed 5 fouls, and his defense was weakened. With Pharaoh's 104-level offensive strength at the basket, how could he be able to defend when his teammates' help and double-teaming were not timely?

"boom!"

"boom!"

  Pharaoh mustered the last bit of physical strength, attacked the basket frantically, and attacked the basket guarded by O'Neal again and again. O'Neal was beaten all over his head.

   On the defensive end, he is based on the basket, not afraid of dunks, preventing the Knicks from attacking the basket, and playing a real top rim protector.

   Even Jordan, when his physical strength was exhausted, his breakthrough speed dropped sharply, and he barely managed to get in, but he also suffered repeated setbacks.

"ah!"

   In the 10th minute of this section, O'Neal finally couldn't bear it anymore and lost control. Under another strong attack from Pharaoh, he directly hugged and fell Pharaoh and got the sixth offense.

   At this time, the Lakers relied on Pharaoh's powerful basket offense and defense, leading by 10 points. This was still when Jordan was struggling to attack.

   But with Shaquille O'Neal gone, in less than two minutes in the final time, the victory balance was completely tilted in favor of the Lakers.

   Jordan also broke out at the last moment, hitting jumpers from the outside in a row, but was unable to stop Pharaoh's low attack.

   A whistle sounded, and the Lakers won the G5 game and won the match point with a big score of three to two.

   At the end of the game, Pharaoh and Jordan all sat down on the floor, gasping for breath.

After the game, Su Qun said excitedly: "Congratulations to Mr. K, who made 9 of 12 shots and 2 of 6 free throws in the final quarter, scored 20 points, and scored 62 points.

   You hit a career high in a single game in the playoffs and a new high in a single game in the finals. At the same time, you also set a new record in a single game in the history of the NBA Finals, and broke the record of 61 points in the Kim Belle Finals.

   There is only one single-game individual scoring record in the playoffs that has not been broken yet, and that is Jordan's 63-point single-game record in the playoffs. "

   Zhang Lili held the statistics table and said: "The Iron Army made 26 of 37 shots, 70.2% of the shots, 10 of 18 free throws, 55.5% of the shots, it should be the most shots today, it's really crazy.

   In addition to scoring, he also grabbed 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks, and had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls. "

Su Qun said with a smile: "O'Neal was crushed by Old K in the final quarter, scoring only 6 points and 36 points in the game. Jordan broke out in the final quarter and scored 16 points and scored 45 points in the game. He doesn't look like a 35-year-old at all. Joe The Sharks teamed up for 81 points and still got beat by the Lakers, it was a tough game."

   Zhang rationally and excitedly analyzed: "Next are the two home games of the Lakers, the match point is in hand, we should strive to solve the opponent in the G6 game, and try not to enter the tiebreaker.

   Being tied at home and playing the tiebreaker will have an impact on the morale of the Lakers, so try to avoid the tiebreaker. "
