Chapter 553 Are they finished? (15/60)
Elaine Trovis's eyes are different from others. Since she and Wei Xia began dating, Wei Xia has only seen him in the Lakers games.
Her attention was all on Wei Xia unless he was replaced.
Sometimes, Wei Xia, who was sitting off the court, was more interesting than the game. She would rather watch the game in a daze than watch the game more. Because Wei Xia on the court cleverly activated the law of "serious men are the most handsome", and his concentration and commitment are the most attractive points.
Trovis felt that she liked Wei Xia a little more every time she watched him.
So when she heard Wei Xia hoped she would arrive in Boston without hesitation.
Since the tiebreak, everything has been good. I know that Wei Xia’s free throws are not in three ways.
From childhood to adulthood, this was the first three-no-no-free throw shot that Wei Xia made.
The reason is not complicated. The sour left foot is swallowing Wei Xia's perception. He doesn't know how to describe that feeling.
Injured? Of course he was worried about the injury. He felt that he should ask the team for instructions, but when he ran, his feet on the floor gave him a powerful transmission. He could feel the strength of his lower limbs. He should not need to go out and observe, but he fell too hard just now, just like in the past.
While running, Wei Xia looked around the stadium
Only the seventh game between the Lakers and the Celtics can bring together stars in North Shore Garden.
President David Stern;
Lakers' celebrity "Magic";
Stars and professional singers from the film and television industry;
Historical grievances have turned this place into a huge stage and a show facing the world.
Ray Allen wanted to call a pick-and-roll, and Wei Xia and Kobe stepped forward together and forced him out of the three-meter away from the three-point line, and he could not attack.
Wei Xia could feel that his aggressiveness was declining and his attention was diverted by his lower limbs.
Fortunately, the Celtic made a mistake.
Garnett received a pass from Gentlei, and made a mistake in the inside pass to Perkins, who touched the ball out of bounds.
What a great benefit!
"Now is not the time to be dazed!" Kobe found Wei Xia's eyes fluttering.
Wei Xia said sarcastically: "Thank you for reminding me that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know that we were playing Game 7."
Whether Kobe believed it or not, his thanks were sincere. He may have a bad tone, but it was indeed his true words.
Now is not the time to be in a daze, nor is it the time to think about it. His lower limbs encountered a collision. When the free throw is on, it seems that he was covered with a heavy iron piece, but that was only a moment. Isn’t he jumping around now?
Wei Xia overcame the inner demon, walked to the right, received the ball, flicked a shot, and rushed into the basket again.
He seemed not worried about being knocked over by his opponent again.
His speed and his power all prove his strength.
He put the ball into the basket.
39 to 40
With three minutes left in the half, the Lakers are still 1 point behind the Celtics.
Now is the most dangerous and difficult time.
It is not easy to survive this period of time, and the Celtics' inside advantage has emerged.
It originated from a Pierce's attack.
He beat Kobe on his back, and the latter was selected for the annual defense for many years. Naturally, he would not be a false reputation. With all his strength in defense, the truth would also be a blackmail.
Perkins grabbed the offensive rebound and did it himself. Missed it.
Garnett scored the second offensive rebound and passed Rondo, a rare large open three-pointer, but still missed.
However, the ball dropped by the basket was taken down by the Celtics.
Garnett grabbed the offensive rebound again, and he roared. Just as he was about to come, he found that Wei Xia had emptied Ray Allen in order to get the rebound, which was a unique and good opportunity.
Reason defeated impulse, Garnett's ball was passed to Ray Allen.
"Jesus" did not disappoint those who believed in him.
The three-pointer of the outside line, which almost made people feel cold, penetrated the net, and the crazy Green Kai made a tight press on the spot. Their full defense actually achieved their goal.
Derek Fisher made an offensive foul and handed the ball over to the opponent's hands for nothing.
The old fish's mistake allowed the Celtics to seize the opportunity.
They instinctively knew that this was a round of pulling the score wide and establishing an advantage.
Pierce walked and walked with a dragon and tiger. After getting the ball, he no longer stubbornly beat Kobe to death. He called him a pick-and-roll and misplaced to hit Paul Gasol.
He had obvious advantages when he was playing small and big outside. Gasol was afraid that he would break through, so he took a big step, but he didn't expect Pierce to pick up the ball and shoot directly.
He couldn't stop him, raised his hand and watched the ball fly high.
"Swish!"
46 to 39
The score difference widens to 7 points, and calms like Zen Master, and they are called timeouts like a normal coach.
After all, this is the seventh game of the finals, and neither side has room for mistakes, so Jackson simply arranged the tactics to Wei Xia.
"If you have the chance, attack decisively and don't look back!" Jackson said loudly.
It's light, but it's not easy from the first second Wei Xia's appearance.
The Celtics seem to know that the Lakers are going to give him the ball, and their defense is done well in all aspects, from defending the ball to confrontation.
In order to send the ball smoothly, Kobe went up to receive it, and used himself as a transition point to give the ball to Wei Xia.
This scene is rare. Kobe took the initiative to give up the offensive core and asked Wei Xia to do what he usually does. Even he himself couldn't believe it, but he was not angry, nor regretful, nor worried about the consequences of doing so.
Wei Xia brought the ball from Kobe's hand. He knew what it meant to make Kobe hand over the offensive core position. He could only succeed but not fail. Now everyone is pointing at him to become Kobe in the past three years.
He was not sure before taking action, and after the attack was launched, he was full of confidence.
He rushed to the free throw line, stopped and jumped, his body was as tall as steel, and he made a shot.
41 to 46
When it landed, the soreness and numbness of the lower limbs brought feedback. It appeared again, but it could no longer distract Wei Xia's attention.
Wei Xia succeeded in the offense, but did not retreat and defend, but stayed in the frontcourt and pressed Rondo on the spot.
This scene happened countless times in the finals. His opponent was used to it, but he didn't believe that he could really make Rondo make mistakes.
One-on-one full-game pressing is a profound science and cannot be done with the will. A little carelessness may allow the ball holder to break through the defense and tear the team's position like a road.
Like Wei Xia, he regards the ball holder who is pressing against the opponent as a conventional tactic. He never has physical strength problems and is almost never taken by the opponent in one step. It is rare wherever his opponent goes or wherever he follows him.
Rondo discovered that Wei Xia was more brave enough to fight, and he was testing the referee's bottom line.
Is there a bottom line for the referee tonight?
No, as long as he does not obviously want to push Rondo down, all confrontation is allowed.
This was a disaster for Rondo. Wei Xia used all his strength, making Rondo unable to escape the LOGO. It was about to be eight seconds before he wanted to pass the ball, but his intention was discovered by Wei Xia. His passing technique was seen, and even the passing line was prophet.
His ball was cut off by Wei Xia.
In a look of shock, Wei Xia's counterattack had already rushed to the frontcourt of the Celtics, and they were greeted by a dunk.
43 to 46
There are less than two minutes left before the end of the first half, only 3 points away.
Wei Xia scored 19 points alone, nearly half of the team's score.
But his madness is not over yet. Wei Xia, who wants to use his best form to bring the most profit to the team, is getting crazier.
He did not retreat backcourt and pressed Rondo every round.
Rondo is also a proud person. It is impossible for him to be timid because of a mistake and face it actively. The two fought for a whole minute, and the biggest variable came from Pierce.
He can both hold the ball and play singles, and use the help of running to catch and shoot.
Garnett's thick cover brought him the best offensive opportunity. After getting the ball, he turned around and took action. Kobe's interference was a little late.
59 seconds before the end of the half, Pierce hit a three-pointer.
49 to 43
The gap between the Lakers and the Celtics was widened again. Although 6 points are not much, in this game where 1 point is more difficult than 10 points in the regular season, the 6-point gap will bring great pressure to the Lakers to chase points.
Before the end of the half, the Celtics wanted to defend the Lakers for one round and then suppress the buzzer.
The fierce defense covered the entire half. Kobe wanted to attack by himself, but he was forced to the cold zone with the lowest hit rate, and passing was the most appropriate choice.
Wei Xia felt that the soreness and numbness on his lower limbs, especially the left foot, was already accompanied by pain. His excitement seemed to be unable to overcome the reflex of the motor nerves, but he wanted to help the team score this goal.
He ran with all his might as well as the beginning, first throwing away Ray Allen, then getting rid of Rondo. Under Pierce's malicious pursuit and Garnett's active defense switch, the Lakers' ball was passed to his hand.
There is not much time to attack, so he has to find an opportunity to take action.
Wei Xia stepped back to the three-point line on the right corner, and Garnett formed an insurmountable spider web in front of him like a big spider. If he wanted to shoot, he had to go against the will of heaven! Negative angle shots greatly improve the shooting point. Only in this way can the basketball fly over Garnett's head safely.
Wei Xia did that. He was very glad that the moment before the move, he found the best feel. He was sure that his ball could be shot, but his body fell in irregular leaning back, and the most fragile left foot fell out of bounds first.
"Swish!"
The moment the ball entered, Wei Xiaru was electrocuted and extended from the thigh of her left foot to her knees. It seemed that an item that had been jumping off had fallen off. He felt a severe pain, subconsciously covered his knees, and screamed in a low voice.
The game was interrupted.
The Lakers were frightened and watched Wei Xia be carried onto a stretcher and leave the court. They were probably sure that Wei Xia would completely withdraw from the stage.
The Lakers' best player in the first half, after Game 5, the soul figures on both offense and defense, have kept them to this moment, and are still full of fighting spirit. Now they are lying on the stretcher, and their future is uncertain.
Are they finished?
