But Carlyle has always been a thorn in the side of the Zen master.

After all, he is the opponent that Zen Master has never defeated in the finals.

I don’t know how many times in the finals, that guy’s unexpected changes in formation and correct response strategies have caused the Zen Master’s team to suffer.

No, this time the seemingly nonsensical "Five Hard Things to Die" seems to be having unexpected effects again.

Kobe did not expect that Wu Sheng would suddenly rush out to steal the pass, but the moment Shea saw Wu Sheng moving sideways in the direction of the pass, he had already started running forward.

So after Wu Sheng got the basketball, he directly passed the ball from the backcourt to find Shay.

By the time Kobe Bryant reacted, he could no longer catch up to Shay.

Fortunately, Auntie had been concentrating on observing the situation on the court. When Wu Sheng moved across the passing route, he knew that the basketball would definitely be intercepted, so he returned to defense in advance and chased Shay.

When Shea was rushing forward crazily with the ball from the wing, the powerful aunt was also approaching Shea.

Although Auntie's current offensive ability is less than 50% of what it was before, her defensive ability is still strong.

If Kobe's defense is more like a smart assassin, then Larry Johnson's defense is a violent and persistent attack!

After he caught up with Shay, he hit him with his strong body without hesitation. Even Shay was hit by this huge force and almost flew off the baseline.

Now, Shay can understand why Finley was beaten by Big Mom again and again in the first three quarters. Big Mom's resistance ability is really abnormal.

Shay jumped up before he was completely unbalanced, but because he was collided, his body glided along a diagonal line after jumping up, gradually gliding to the outside of the baseline, and his whole body ran behind the backboard!

Moreover, the referee has not called a foul yet.

Larry Johnson thought that Shea had flown out of bounds now, so he would definitely have no choice but to pass the ball into the court. Therefore, he did not try to block Shea, but raised his arms high, preparing to intercept Shea's pass.

Who knew that, with his body behind the backboard, Shay was like an eagle spreading its wings, grabbing the ball with one hand and spreading his arms to the side and in front. Although he was behind the backboard, his arms reached to the side of the basket, and he successfully dunked the ball.

!

Shay actually staged a dunk behind the backboard!

Marvin Albert stood up with goosebumps all over his body:

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!

Shay's whole body was knocked behind the backboard, and he was still able to dunk successfully!

Is there a goal in this world that Shay can’t score!?”

The Knicks fans at the scene were also dumbfounded. Why do you think this is more exciting than Kobe's dunk in the dunk contest?

Moreover, Knicks fans also discovered that after this dunk, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to single digits!

The Knicks, who had been going smoothly before, have not scored a point in this quarter, and the Lakers are getting closer to the score!

Sure enough, after this incredible dunk, Master Jackson paused the game.

If it were another game, Phil Jackson would not necessarily call a timeout even if he fell behind. As we all know, he is the coach who least likes to call timeouts in the league.

But now facing the Lakers, the Zen Masters were still leading by 9 points, so they immediately called a timeout.

This shows how nervous Phil Jackson was at this time.

He looked at his players and became furious in a rare move: "Don't you all want to win?"

Jackson would never allow a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter to be reversed by the Lakers.

He still doesn't believe that he can't beat the Lakers even once in the finals!

Soon, he began to lay out his next strategy.

First, he requires role players to take bold action when given the opportunity.

You can't just point at the sharks to score points, and you can't just think about passing the ball to the sharks as soon as you get the ball.

Only by continuing to perform better will the Sharks have a chance.

At the same time, on the defensive end, Jackson told the players to use excessive double-teaming to force Shea to pass the ball.

He would rather double-team excessively and leave others wide open, but also force Shea to pass the ball.

In the third quarter of the previous game, this was actually how the Knicks dealt with Shay.

But Finley's tough goals forced the Knicks to relax their attack on Shea.

Now that Finley is gone, Zen Master decides to attack Shay again.

Kobe nodded and gritted his teeth.

He knew that his defensive performance, which allowed Shea to score six points in the fourth quarter, was substandard.

In fact, his defense did not relax, but it was obvious that Shea was even more murderous in the fourth quarter.

Kobe has also decided that he will continue to improve his aggressiveness on the defensive end!

Don't let Shay breathe for a moment!

On the other side, the Lakers players are all gearing up.

The point difference has returned to single digits. Although the gap is still relatively large, it is at least not as desperate as 15 points.

The team has achieved a phased victory. As long as they continue to persist, they will definitely be able to tie it!

On the first attack after the Knicks came back from the timeout, Auntie followed Zen Master's arrangement. While Ben teamed up with O'Neill, Mutombo, and the Sharks for multi-player sports, he decisively shot a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Kobe.

point.

Big Ben quickly interfered, but the interference was not particularly strict. Larry Johnson still had some room to take action.

But Auntie's three-pointer finally hit the side of the basket hard and came out of the frame!

Carlisle asked Big Ben to attack the shark boldly, betting on Big Mom's three-point accuracy.

The aunt who shot less than 30% from three-point range in the playoffs doesn't need close defense at all.

He is a guy who can't even shoot open three-pointers. If you give him a little interference, his three-pointers will be completely ruined.

After the basketball bounced out of the hoop, the giant men under the basket competed fiercely for the rebound.

Knicks fans only saw Mutombo being knocked directly to the ground, and then O'Neal got the offensive rebound.

Just when all the Knicks fans were about to cheer, the referee gave O'Neal a rebound foul!

The Knicks fans almost had their waists broken, and the ball was actually blown away.

It's almost as if the goddess agreed to your confession, but told you that she was cold. You got it, but you didn't get it at all.

O'Neal also smashed the ball to the ground angrily. He was really frustrated under the basket in the fourth quarter today.

Even if he was prevented from catching the ball, even if he had a chance to grab a rebound, O'Neal would be trapped.

He was stuck time and time again, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as Ben took away the rebound.

He could only watch others steal the rebounds. The key is that when he was blocked, Mutombo and Xiao O didn't know how many hidden elbows they gave him!

He was almost beaten into sashimi!

Because of this, O'Neal just had an emotional outburst and directly knocked Mutombo over.

Little did he know that he was called for a foul instead.

The Knicks' offense failed again, and Marvin Albert also shook his head:

"I don't know if you've noticed, but Madison Square Garden has quieted down.

Shay and his Lakers are simply silencers on the road!

When they started the fourth quarter trailing by 15 points, the home fans were speechless!"

Indeed, Knicks fans no longer have the arrogance they had just now.

In the front row, Goldstein and Spike Lee were no longer arrogant and clenched their fists nervously.

The female companions brought by Goldstein were speechless. Stop watching the ball and touch the ball!

If you keep doing this, it will be difficult for me to tempt you to take me away at night!

But while the Lakers were enjoying great momentum, they missed their next attack.

This time, as soon as Shay reached beyond the three-point line, he was directly double-teamed by Kobe Bryant and the Madman.

In the previous Western Conference semifinals, although the Suns also used unlimited double attacks to deal with Shea.

But whether it is Nash or Chapman, their role in double-teaming is actually very limited.

Just like a pair of scissors, if one side is not sharp, it cannot cut anything.

And now, the Knicks have two guards who have been in the defense double-teaming Shea!

The defensive intensity is nothing like what the Suns did before.

Shay's breakthrough route was instantly blocked, leaving no room for breakthrough.

So he could only pass the ball to Wu Sheng who was freed up.

Although Wu Sheng was daring and hard-working on the defensive end, when he received the basketball at this critical moment of chasing points, he hesitated and was a little hesitant to shoot.

This hesitation caused the madman to immediately return to Wu Sheng, and the shooting opportunity completely disappeared.
