NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Chapter 120 [120] The head coach is expelled!The black whistle of the assistant referee!
O'Neal was off, and Stan Van Gundy let Rough and Haslem partner to guard the inside.

Kobe held the ball in the frontcourt and used the pick-and-roll to kill the penalty area by misplacement.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

The whistle of the first assistant referee sounded, 2+1.

Without O'Neal's guard, the Heat's penalty area defense is indeed a notch weaker.

Kobe walked to the free throw line with firm eyes, showing a cold fighting spirit all over his body.

Although the team has fallen behind by nearly 30 points, and there are only a few tens of seconds left in the third quarter, he obviously did not give up the game.

O'Neal's departure obviously gave the Lakers hope of a comeback, even if this hope is very slim.

"Shh!"

Kobe, who walked to the free throw line, also made an additional free throw and succeeded in hitting 3 points.

With this 2+1 in hand, Kobe has already scored 35 points tonight, the highest in the team, which is almost the same as Lin Fei's 39 points.

只不过林飞的39分只统计了9次出手，三分9中9，罚球12中12，效率上可以说是历史之最。

Kobe's 35 points consumed 28 shots and hit 13 goals, including 8 free throws.

For Kobe this season, his offensive efficiency tonight is considered very good.

Even though Lin Fei worked very hard in one-on-one defense against Kobe, he also showed a strong ability in one-on-one defense, but Kobe tonight seemed to be crazy, and he really couldn't hold it back.

Looking back at the Heat's offense, Jason Williams advanced with the ball.

Without O'Neal, the Lakers' defensive energy is more concentrated on the outside, which makes it difficult for Lin Fei to receive the ball.

Coupled with the fact that they are leading by 26 points after all, the main players of the Heat have also begun to relax mentally.

Jason Williams broke through and scored the ball to Haslem, who jumped up and dunked directly to avoid Odom.

But in the slanting stab, there flashed a straightening posture, his teeth were clenched and his eyes were cold, it was Black Mamba Kobe.

"Snapped!"

Kobe suddenly jumped up his long arms to cover the sky, and directly dislocated Haslem to block with a diagonal stab.

The basketball rebounded off the steel backboard, was taken by Odom, and the Lakers quickly launched a counterattack.

At this time, there are only the last 9 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

The Lakers counterattacked quickly this time. Although Lin Fei was chasing Kobe closely, Caron Butler quickly got rid of Battier, entered the frontcourt, received a pass from Odom, and rushed into the penalty area. It was a fast break dunk.

"Boom!"

Lin Fei ran back from the bottom line to receive the serve, turned over and quickly threw a buzzer super long, the red light came on, and the basketball missed the hoop.

The third quarter is over.

Originally, there was no need for Lin Fei to shoot this kind of extremely difficult end-of-quarter ultra-long shot. After all, he still had a 100% hit rate before.

But now that he has the opportunity and the ball is in his hands, no matter how difficult it is, shooting is Lin Fei's first choice.

Lin Fei's hit rate in the game can also reach about 33%, and he can get into one of almost three shots, which is indeed terrifying.

You must know that many players' three-pointers from normal distances can't hit 33%, and Kobe's three-pointers in the new season are only 33.9%.

Heat (89): (65) Lakers.

After O'Neal left the field, under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers chased 1 points in less than 5 minute, narrowing the 29-point difference to 24 points.

But it is still very difficult for the Lakers to recover 24 points in the final quarter, even if Wade and O'Neal will not play in the final quarter.

But at least with O'Neal's injury and retirement, the Lakers fans at home have seen the hope of a turning point in the final quarter of this Christmas game tonight.

In the visiting team's locker room, the team doctor was still massaging Wade's knees and calves while lying on the bed.

Wade's knee has obvious contusion, although there is no structural damage, but to be on the safe side, the team doctor still recommends that the Heat coaching staff let Wade rest for 1-2 weeks.

O'Neal was not completely stepped on by Chris Mihm, but just stepped on the edge of the opponent's instep. His ankle was only slightly sprained, and he can come back in the next game.

"Leading by 24 points in the last quarter, with Lin here, we can't be reversed by the Lakers. It seems that this kid is going to hit 50+ in the next game tonight!"

Watching the live broadcast of the game on the TV screen on the wall, Wade lying on the bed is full of envy. He has never won a 50+ game in his career!
O'Neill was more concerned about Wade's injury, and persuaded:
"Dwayne, take it easy, kid, don't take your body too seriously, especially your knee. This minor injury is lucky!"

"If you keep playing with such an explosive style, you will have big problems sooner or later. Xue Xuelin, I think he can play in the league for at least 20 seasons!"

Wade shook his head and sighed softly: "If I can practice Lin's accurate shooting, even if it is half as accurate as his, I don't have to work so hard. My style of play is really hard to change!"

After the start of the final quarter, Stan Van Gundy asked Lin Fei and Jason Williams to rest on the bench for a while.

The huge advantage of 24 points made the Heat's coaching staff confident, and they became bolder in employing people.

But the Lakers are completely different. Tomjanovich and Kobe reached a consensus to take advantage of the opportunity of the Heat's two generals to retire in the final quarter to launch a final counterattack.

After three quarters, Kobe has played 33 minutes, but he still didn't rest for 1 minute in the final quarter. This is obviously a desperate state to reverse the score.

Without Lin Fei's defense and matchup consumption, Kobe's energy on both ends of the offense and defense seemed to increase instantly, and he flew forward on the defensive end to steal the pass from Damon Jones.

In the counterattack fast break, the backup shooting guard Shandon Anderson, who was facing back to the defense, made a strong layup.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

The whistle blew again, 2+1.

This time, it was still the first assistant referee who whistled for the Heat's defensive shooting foul. He was a white man in his forties named John Osman, who had been in the NBA referee team for 5 years.

The whistle-offs by the first assistant referee tonight were quite controversial, which also made Stephen Jiawei, who is the referee, slightly dissatisfied and confused.

However, the Lakers fell behind so much at home, and it was understandable to take proper care of whistleblowing, so Stephen Jiawei didn't say much.

"Shh!"

Going to the free throw line, Kobe made an additional free throw. Tonight, he has scored 38 points, plus 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. His performance is quite comprehensive.

Regarding Kobe, many Lakers fans are worried about the future of the team, but there are also many fans who are loyal fans of Kobe and believe that Kobe can quickly grow into a super shooting guard like Jordan.

The absence of the Heat's Big Three at the same time caused the team's offensive level to drop several notches in an instant.

Damon Jones transferred the ball to Haslem in the low post, who missed Odom's shot and the rebound was protected by the Lakers.

Kobe came to the offensive end and faced the substitute Shandon Anderson again. This time Damon Jones took the initiative to double-team Kobe, but he still couldn't limit Kobe's fadeaway jumper.

"Shh!"

again.

In less than 1 minute, Kobe scored 5 points in a row, leading the Lakers to quickly catch up to 19 points.

The cheers and screams of the home Lakers fans sounded in Staples Arena, and many fans even shouted MVP!

"It seems that there is a reversal, Corvo is going crazy, no one can stop him!"

"Is the Heat so calm? Don't you hurry up to the forest?"

"Dwayne and Shaquille are sure they won't fight again tonight? Lin also played a lot of time in the third quarter. After all, he is an Asian player. No matter how good his physical fitness is, he is much worse than blacks. It is estimated that he will have to rest for at least 3 minutes." !"

"Come on, Corvo, hurry up and score! Now it's 40 points, it seems that scoring 50+ will not be a problem!"

"The Heat are all supported by the Big Three, and the other substitute players are really not good!"

Lin Fei and Jason Williams, who were sitting on the Heat's courtside bench, were not too nervous.

Although Kobe quickly started chasing points on the court, the two still believe that reappearing after the break can stabilize the situation for the team.

Head coach Stan Van Gundy also did not plan to let Lin Fei play early, at least let him rest for 3-4 minutes.

But the Heat's players and coaching staff obviously underestimated Kobe's determination to chase points.

Battier's open three-pointer from the bottom corner still missed. The Lakers protected the rebound and countered the fast break. Kobe, who was excited, directly shot a chasing three-pointer from the outside.

"Bang!"

Although the ball was missed, the long rebound was caught by Kobe who was rushing up again.

"Boom!"

The Heat's substitutes were obviously stunned by the beating. Damon Jones' baseline serve was also intercepted by Caron Butler, who assisted Kobe's three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the right.
"Shh!"

Finally got the three points.

Although Kobe scored 45 points tonight, he didn't make a good three-pointer. This is only his second three-pointer tonight.

随着科比2分钟连得10分的炸裂表现，湖人打出一波疯狂的10：0，分差被迅速追到了只剩14分。

Stan Van Gundy finally couldn't sit still and quickly called a long timeout.

On the timer, there are 10 minutes and 02 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.

Heat (89): (75) Lakers.

Since O'Neal was stepped off at the end of the third quarter, the Heat have not scored a point, and the Lakers led by Kobe blasted a terrifying 15:0.

There is no way, Stan Van Gundy can only let Lin Fei and Jason Williams play early to stabilize the team's situation.

In front of the on-site commentary stand, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith also applauded the regained suspense of the game:
"There is no doubt that Kobe is one of the best shooting guards in the active league. He is stronger than Allen Iverson in terms of offensive and defensive comprehensiveness!"

"Kobe has scored 50 points with more than 45% shooting rate tonight. Judging from the current situation, Peter Pan is likely to play a crazy performance of 50+!"

"Facts have proved that Lin's defensive effect on Kobe is still very good. Once he is not on the court, Kobe's explosion will be caught off guard!"

"The point difference has been chased to 14 points. After this timeout, Lin and Jason will definitely play early, but without Dwayne and Shaquille, Lin will definitely be targeted more closely!"

"Can he continue his magical three-pointer? Let us wait and see!"

On the court, the timeout came back quickly, and the Heat attacked.

Lin Fei ran on the outside, called a screen that was roughly mentioned, and opened up the distance with Kobe by dislocation, and faced Odom who switched up.

But at this time the referee's whistle suddenly rang unexpectedly.

"Beep!"

First assistant referee John Osman gestures for a rough move to cover for a foul.

Suddenly feeling innocent, he spread his hands and shook his head, sighing softly. In fact, when he was covering, his footsteps did move slightly laterally, but it was very concealed.

In the whole game, the referee will not pay too much attention to the person without the ball for this kind of slight mobile cover, so basically he will not be blown.

But now at the critical moment, the referee targeted the Heat's mobile screen in whistleblowing, which surprised the players.

Stan Van Gundy, standing on the sidelines, also protested to the assistant referee who blew the whistle, which was clearly the obvious home whistle.

The possession of the ball was changed, the Lakers were attacking, and Kobe, who was playing crazy, was really difficult to guard. He faced Lin Fei with his back at the top of the arc, swaying his feet continuously, turning over and leaning back in one go, and his jump shot was picturesque.

"Shh!"

Another two-pointer, Kobe has scored 47 points.

"Lin, this is our home stadium, it's not that easy to win!"

Kobe, who was retreating, was still clenching his teeth, his face was covered with sweat, but his eyes were as sharp as a sword.

Lin Fei knew that he had to stand up.

Coming to the offensive end, Lin Fei relied on two consecutive outside screens to run back and throw Kobe away, and took advantage of the fleeting opportunity to quickly ask Jason Williams for the ball.

But the defensive strength of the Lakers has obviously increased. Atkins entangled Jason Williams, and Caron Butler quickly rushed up to cut off the passing line, and knocked down "White Chocolate"'s risky pass.

Kobe kicked off Lin Fei and rushed straight to the frontcourt. After receiving a pass from Butler, he entered the penalty area and sent a dunk.

"Boom!"

Although Jason Williams' passing is gorgeous, but at the critical moment of the game, his psychological quality is still not up to the level of a top point guard, and the turnover rate of passing under double-teaming will also increase.

The Heat were in trouble on the offensive end, roughly the same as Haslem's high elevator door screen, this time the assistant referee whistled for a screen foul, and the ball was given to the Lakers again.

Stan Van Gundy obviously saw the aim of the first assistant referee, and couldn't bear it anymore on the sidelines, and roared directly.

"Watt? Do you want to blow this too?"

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the assistant referee John Osman's wonderful operation struck again, and he directly whistled at the Heat coach Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines and gestured: Immediate expulsion!
Just because of Van Gundy's roar, the assistant referee directly expelled the head coach.

Big Van Gundy was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, but he could only throw the tactical board on the ground angrily, and walked towards the player tunnel without looking back.

As a veteran driver with many years of experience, Stan Van Gundy clearly felt that something was wrong with the assistant referee. This could not be a simple home whistle, and there was definitely something wrong with it.

The head coach was expelled, and the first assistant Spoelstra could only coach temporarily. The Heat's players obviously shook the morale of the army.

On the court, the Lakers took advantage of the situation and made another attack. Kobe broke through and assisted Butler in the corner and hit a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The point difference came to 7 points in an instant.

Wade and O'Neal retired from injuries, and head coach Stan Van Gundy was expelled at a critical moment. The Lakers chased the point difference to 7 points. frenetic atmosphere,
All the conditions began to be unfavorable to the Heat, and interim coach Spoelstra quickly called another long timeout. He knew that the players must be calm and calm in this situation.

"Oh my god, I thought the suspense of this Christmas battle would be over early, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting. In the last 8 minutes, we chased to only 7 points. The reversal is completely interesting!"

"As long as we can prevent Lin as much as possible and prevent him from catching and shooting, we will definitely have a chance to complete the reversal. This is the most moment difference of 29 points. It will be amazing if we can really reverse it!"

Feeling the cheers and noise of the Lakers fans at home, Lin Fei suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders become heavier.

Wade and O'Neal are not here, and the head coach is not here. Whether he can hold on to the victory at the last moment can only depend on himself.

In the five sets of Tianchao live broadcast room, Director Zhang was so annoyed by the assistant referee's targeting that he couldn't help but angrily said:

"There is definitely something wrong with this assistant referee. He continuously whistled for our screens. This is obviously deliberate!"

"I hope that the league headquarters can conduct a strict investigation after the game. The referee gambling incident in the NBA has been repeatedly banned in recent years!"
