The glory of the center

Chapter 172 Advance to the Western Final

The difference between the two sides is fixed at 9 points, 75:66. In the blink of an eye, there is only one minute left in the third quarter, and the Lakers hold the ball.

Fisher dribbled the ball to the half, and there was no good chance to pass the ball in sight, which was not beyond Fisher's expectation. The defense of the Suns in this quarter was excellent, and the Lakers' attack took a lot of effort even if they were to make it.

Kobe went along the bottom line to catch the ball outside the three-point line. His former teammate Shannon Brown's closeness made him not have a good mobile phone meeting. Bynum, who had stayed in the bottom line cover, began to move towards the high position. Next to Bynum, Zhao Yue also moved towards the high position.

Bynum just stood on the left side of the city's free throw line. Zhao Yue had already pasted it and kept putting pressure on the opponent behind Bynum.

Kobe, who had no chance to attack outside the three-point line, pushed the ball over when he saw Bynum coming up. Just as Kobe pushed the ball out, Zhao Yue suddenly squeezed out from Bynum's side and reached out in front of Bynum.

Zhao Yue's movements on the side surprised Bynum and leaned against Zhao Yue. He tried to hold Zhao Yue, and at the same time, his hands also faced the basketball.

His body leaned forward and saw the ball flying towards Bynum's hand. Zhao Yue's arm leaned forward a little again and clicked up when the ball was about to fall into the opponent's hand.

The ball pointed by Zhao Yue fell in the direction of flying. Zhao Yue and Bynum also moved at the same time. Bynum didn't care about entangling with Zhao Yue. Taking a step forward was to bend down to pick it up. Bynum's action made Zhao Yue also have no interference. It was too late to step forward and bend down to pick up the ball. Zhao Yue rushed directly to the floor and rushed towards the ball on the floor like a tiger going down the mountain.

At this moment, Zhao Yue tried his best to make up for the gap between the stations and Bynum. Just as Bynum reached out to pick up the ball, Zhao Yue rushed to his hands and grabbed the ball in his hand.

Seeing the ball disappear from his eyes, Bynum's face changed greatly. Seeing that the ball was about to be pulled into Zhao Yue's arms, he also rushed to the floor.

Zhao Yue seemed to have expected Bynum's action. The ball was handed over to his right hand and pulled directly to the side away from Bynum. Zhao Yue raised his left hand high and gestured to the referee.

"Di!" At the moment when Bynum's palm reached the basketball, the referee whistled and the sun paused.

"Well done!" On the sidelines, Erwin Gentry clenched his fist, and Zhao Yue called out a pause to protect the right to protect the ball. Such a pause just allowed the Sun to arrange tactics.

" steal! Zhao played hard today. Zhao rushed to complete the steal on the ground, and the Suns got the ball right, which is not good news for the Lakers!"

"Oh!" As he walked off the court, Zhao Yue was not busy hitting his chest with his fist and roaring in his mouth.

"Seize this opportunity..." When the players came to the sideline, Gentry's eyes shone. There is no doubt that this is a very good opportunity. If they can seize it, the Suns will be able to expand their lead to double digits before entering the fourth quarter.

At the other end, Phil Jackson arranged tactics with a serious expression, and this defense is crucial for the Lakers.

A short 20-second pause soon ended. Gentry closed his tactical board and stared at the field with anticipation.

The Sun launched an attack, and it was Iverson who dribbled the ball. The Lakers obviously paid great attention to defense at this time. Fisher chose to be close to Iverson, and on the inside line, Zhao Yue stood around two players, which made Iverson have some scruples about passing the ball.

The ball guided the ball outside the three-point line and then came to Grant Hill's hand. Seeing that he couldn't find a good offensive opportunity, Zhao Yue began to run towards the outside line, and then took the ball from Hill's hand when he approached the three-point line, while Hill pulled it away with Matt Barnes.

When Hill ran away, Iverson, who was in the bottom corner of the right corner, quickly rushed in the direction of Zhao Yue, while Zhao Yue, who stood on the right side of the arc, put Bynam behind him with his body, holding the ball and drooping with his hands. When Iverson rushed back and forth, Zhao Yue handed the ball to Iverson's hand.

Fisher, who followed Iverson, was blocked by standing Zhao Yue and could not keep up in time. Bynum behind Zhao Yue took half a step to stop Iverson's movement, and at this time, Zhao Yue began to act.

With a sensitive turn, Zhao Yue turned directly behind Bynum, and at the same time got rid of the other party's entanglement without any hesitation. Zhao Yue suddenly ran forward and went straight to the basket.

"Bad!" At this moment, Bynum also realized that he had ignored Zhao Yue and noticed that Zhao Yue rushed to the basket. Bynum hurriedly turned around and ran to the basket.

Neither Zhao Yue's speed nor Iverson's passing speed was as fast as Bynum could. When Bynum turned around and chased him, the ball had already flown over his head and landed in the hands of Zhao Yue, who was rushing towards the basket.

After receiving the ball, Zhao Yue accelerated his strongest speed and went straight to the basket. There was no player interference beside him, giving him enough room for acceleration.

"Stop him!" The scene on the court changed the faces of the Lakers fans, and they couldn't help roaring at the field.

Bynum, Barnes, Kobe... On the court, the Lakers players moved under the basket one after another, but none of them could compare their speed with Zhao Yue.

Kobe was the fastest Lakers player to reach the basket, but when he reached the bottom right of the basket, Zhao Yue, who had completed the running stage, had already stepped on the floor and rose to the air.

The inertia brought by running made Zhao Yue's sliding speed after jumping still amazing. At this moment, Kobe, who came to the basket, did not care about anything else and bravely jumped up to stop Zhao Yue in front of him.

"bu!" When Kobe's feet left the ground about 50 centimeters, Zhao Yue hit him with a heavy impact.

Kobe is a fighter. His courage is commendable, but courage is obviously not omnipotent. The gap in strength between the two is not the courage that can be made up, not to mention that Zhao Yue still has impact at this time. The two bodies separated at a touch, and Kobe only felt his chest stuffy, and then his body involuntarily fell to the floor.

"Go in!" Kobe was knocked away, and Zhao Yue grabbed the ball with his right hand and hit it fiercely under the basket.

"Bum!"

"This ball is great! A slam dunk! Zhao completed the dunk through Kobe Bryant! Violent dunk! 2+1! Zhao has completed 2+1!" Mike Brin's voice became extremely high, in great contrast to the strange atmosphere at the scene.

"Oh!" Hanging on the basket, Zhao Yue couldn't wait to start roaring.

"Zhao, well done!" The Suns players jumped up excitedly one by one, and Yi Jianlian, who rushed to Zhao Yue, hugged Zhao Yue's head and hugged him tightly. Thinking about Yi Jianlian's implicit big boy hugging Zhao Yue so excitedly, you can imagine the mood of the Suns players now.

"The Sun has taken an 11-point lead, and Zhao still has an additional penalty. There is no doubt that this advantage will give the Suns full take the initiative." Mike Brin's words were the source of the strange atmosphere at the scene, and Lakers fans had to admit that they had completely fallen into passivity.

12 points! Zhao Yue's penalty shot brought the Suns' lead to 12 points, and this advantage remained until the end of the third quarter.

After entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers kept making strong attacks to try to complete the reversal, but the Sun, which had led by 12 points, would not let the other party be satisfactory. Although the Lakers once narrowed the difference to 4 points, the Suns, with the overall performance, raised the difference to double digits and kept this advantage. Hold it until the end of the game.

98: 88, 10 points advantage, the Suns defeated the Lakers away and won the sixth game, with a total score of 4:2 to eliminate the Lakers and advance to the Western Conference finals!

Kobe completely lowered his head at this moment. Yes, from being swept by the Mavericks in the Western Final last season to being eliminated by the Suns this season, Kobe realized that he was a little powerless, but this still couldn't defeat him. However, after lowering his head slightly, Kobe raised his high head. He It's Black Mamba, the black Mamba that can't be beaten.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Victory!" As he ran to the locker room, the Suns players roared.

"I have entered the Western Finals!" Entering the locker room, Zhao Yue sat on the chair and then waved his fist and roared heavily.

The interaction and excitement between the Suns players did not last long, and they were soon surrounded by a flock of reporters. Naturally, Zhao Yue, Anthony and Nash were also the key interviewees.

4:2 eliminated the Lakers, and the Suns became the third team in the league to reach the divisional finals. Now there is only one set of matches in the league that have not won or lost, that is, the Heat and the Pacers.

In Indian, the Heat watched the game between the Suns and the Lakers together and saw the Suns win the Lakers. Different expressions appeared on the faces of the Heat players.

"Sure enough, those guys from Phoenix won."

"Although I want to see their early elimination, it will undoubtedly be more wonderful to kill them in the finals." ......

Heat coach Sporstra did not interrupt when the players spoke. After the discussion of the players gradually subsided, he said, "Go back and have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's game. The Chicago Bulls are already waiting for us."

After Spolstra's words, the atmosphere in the room seemed to condense a little. Speaking of which, the Heat players could not keep calm. They will not forget that when the Heat ambitiously formed the Big Three last season, the Mavericks shattered their championship dream and let the Heat fall at the foot of the finals.
