Chapter 338

Chapter 338

From the first minute of the game, to the first quarter, to the entire first half.

The game between the Sonics and the Lakers was extremely exciting.

That's right, it's wonderful.

From offense to defense, they have made targeted arrangements and arrangements for both sides.

But they can all resolve it with ease, so the game is naturally very exciting.

54:56

At the end of the first half, the difference between the two sides was only 2 points, which is a typical match.

It can be said that the arrangement of the two sides before the game is that no one can do anything about it.

Until the start of the third quarter, the Lakers took the lead in making adjustments.

The Lakers took the initiative to play a triangle offense.

Although Phil Jackson is famous for his triangle offense, his team will not only play triangle offense.

But at a certain time period, hit it.

Just like today's Lakers, if they want to play a triangle offense, who will be the axis of this offense?

Kobe can't, O'Neal has to come.

Just like the original Bulls, Pippen is the axis of the triangle offense, and Jordan is the end of the tactics.

Of course, the Lakers' triangle offense is actually somewhat different from the Bulls' triangle offense.

As the axis, O'Neal is actually closer to the basket.

In this position, he can not only pass the ball, but also actively attack.

And at this time, once he is double-teamed, it is easier to give the ball to an open player.

Sure enough, Kobe, who was 45 degrees to the right, did not directly give the ball to O'Neal, but waited.

Fisher slipped the bottom line, with the help of O'Neal's cover, successfully appeared in the bottom corner and received a pass from Kobe.

Wang Hao didn't dare to be careless, and rushed forward quickly. This was not the time to do things with ease, because Fisher really had room to make a move.

While Wang Hao's defense was in place, Fisher decisively passed the ball to O'Neal.

Wang Hao wants to double-team early, so he has to let Fisher go.

Just when Wang Hao was about to double-team, Kobe suddenly made an air cut at 45 degrees and ran from the middle to the opposite corner.

Meanwhile, Fisher is also moving 45 degrees toward the top line.

To put it bluntly, this is not to give Wang Hao a chance to double-team O'Neal, but to use movement to take Wang Hao away.

Seeing O'Neal singles PJ Brown, Gary Payton can only choose to be double-teamed by him.

However, when the double-team was just in place, O'Neal left the pass, and Kobe at the baseline was already waiting.

"Shh!"

Gary Payton frowned a little, and quickly communicated with Lewis to let him double-team O'Neal, while Gary Payton could take turns to defend Holly.

However, the next time he defended, O'Neal didn't give him a chance at all.

Facing PJ Brown, he turned around and flew the man up, easily hitting the hook.

The people in Lewis were so stupid that they didn't even have a chance to double-team.

It had to be the attack, the Supersonics, which had been speeding up, finally found a chance.

In other words, the Lakers have a little slack.

It turned the Sonics into an offensive and defensive transition, with only Fisher and Robert Hawley in the backcourt.

Wang Hao rushed in with the ball, Fisher and Robert Hawley could only double-team, watching Wang Hao pass the ball to the baseline Lewis.

Lewis doesn't play much on offense, but on defense, he's really good.

The bottom line three-pointer was hit steadily, and the point difference was not widened.

Not only that, Wang Hao and Gary Payton also gained a lot in the next attack.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers decisively changed their tactics and gave the ball to O'Neal more easily.

After O'Neal gets the ball, or hits by himself, after being double-teamed, he gives it to his teammates.

It's a very simple tactic, but it hasn't changed much from before.

The only thing that has changed is the running position and movement of people without the ball, which is more purposeful and prevents defenders from easily double-teaming O'Neal at the Supersonic speed.

Such a tactic is really incomprehensible.

For the Supersonics, the good news is that the point difference has not been widened. They have worked hard to maintain the point difference.

"Di!"

At 5 minutes and 28 seconds into the third quarter, the referee's whistle sounded again.

PJ Brown was called for a foul again. He couldn't guard O'Neal, so he could only pay for the foul.

In fact, this scene is not uncommon in this half of the game.

After O'Neal got the ball, without the help of his teammates, PJ Brown had nothing to do.

Either let O'Neill score easily, or he can only pay for a foul.

It's not that the other players in the Sonics didn't help defend, but it was too late, and O'Neal didn't give them time!

Every time O'Neal gets the ball, someone will assist in the first defense.

The result is often that PJ Brown failed to withstand O'Neal's first wave of attacks.

When the help defense players were in place for the Sonics, O'Neal had already completed the offense.

In the previous games, the Sonics double-teamed O'Neal in advance, making it difficult for him to catch the ball.

But now, the early double-teaming has been broken by the Lakers.

Moreover, this is already PJ Brown's second foul in a single quarter.

At this time, he already had 3 fouls on his body, and to be honest, it was still within the acceptable range.

But the question is, there is still a quarter and a half of the game?

What's more, according to the rhythm of the game, it is estimated that he will never last until the end of the game.

The Lakers clearly want to play PJ Brown off the field.

Paul Westphal did not dare to delay, taking advantage of O'Neal's free throw, he made a decisive substitution.

65:71

Moreover, the point difference between the two sides has shown signs of widening. If O'Neal makes both free throws, it will be 8 points.

Ewing replaced PJ Brown, anyway, Ewing at least able to withstand O'Neal's first attack.

Fortunately, O'Neal's free throws were as stable as ever, making 2 of 1 free throws and the score was 65:72.

The Sonics grabbed the rebound and immediately began to counterattack.

Although Ewing was on the field, the supersonic speed was not slow at all, and the four of them arrived in an instant.

After Gary Payton broke through, Wang Hao scored the ball. Wang Hao broke through again and shot decisively in the middle distance.

"Shh!"

The Supersonic's offense is as sharp as ever, as long as there is a little chance, the opponent can't deploy defense at all.

Speaking of the defense just now, Robert Hawley was also very helpless. The defense just now was completely messed up.

For some reason, he was facing off against Wang Hao. With his speed, it wasn't as if he had been completely overwhelmed.

However, returning to the attack, Robert Hawley found something was wrong, Wang Hao was following him.

"No, brother, you followed the wrong person!"

Not just Robert Hawley, until this time, everyone seems to have some reaction.

The current Supersonics are really big and small, Ewing, Wang Hao, Quentin Richardson, Michael Reid and Gary Payton.

No wonder the Supersonics played so fast in the attack just now. Except for Ewing, each of them was able to run better than the other.

Such a lineup is definitely a huge test for the Lakers' defense.

But what about defense?How to defend inside?

If you use a lineup of small guards, there will definitely be big problems when defending the inside.

Everyone's eyes turned to Robert Hawley unconsciously, and suddenly found that this didn't seem to be a problem!

Well, Robert Hawley is not a pure No. 4 position. In fact, he is more suitable for the No. 3 position.

Because in the 3rd position, he has a physical advantage, but when he is switched to the 4th position, the advantage becomes a disadvantage.

It's just that Robert Hawley obviously doesn't think so.

Seeing Wang Hao marking him, he had a flash of inspiration, instead of running to the outside line, he went to the inside line instead.

O'Neill hesitated when he saw it, but he still didn't say anything. After all, Robert Hawley did a good job.

If he can beat Wang Hao one by one, then the Supersonics will have to consider continuing to adjust the lineup.

As for Kobe, he was obviously hesitant, he didn't even want to pass the ball.

He still knows Robert Hawley very well, after all, he has been a teammate for so many years.

At the same time, Kobe still understands Wang Hao. This is an opponent he can't solve.

Obviously, Kobe doesn't think that Robert Hawley can handle Wang Hao, just as Robert Hawley can't handle him.

It's just that the teammates are already in positions like this, if they don't pass the ball, it would be a bit too much.

In the end, Kobe chose to pass the ball.

Robert Hawley saw that no one was double-teaming, so he was naturally impolite and beat directly.

Sudden push back, if there is no push, if it doesn't work once, then try again!

This time, Wang Hao finally took a step back, and Robert Hawley had a little space.

He was also polite, and directly chose to turn around and shoot a jumper. He has a height advantage, which makes him very confident.

However, the moment he turned around with the ball, a palm suddenly slapped the basketball.

"Snapped!"

Robert Hawley wanted to shoot backwards, but Wang Hao didn't give it a chance and cut the ball away with a slap.

After the steal, Wang Hao didn't delay, and immediately started to counterattack.

Almost instantly, as if getting an electric shock, except for Ewing, the other four ran away in an instant.

Wang Hao first gave the ball to Gary Payton, and Gary Payton gave the ball to Quentin Richardson.

Quentin Richardson, who was buried in the charge for a while, threw the ball into the air, which happened to be Wang Hao who leaped high from the free throw line!

Grabbed the basketball and smashed it hard to the basket, easily scoring 2 points.

This goal was just 5 seconds away from his steal, and the Supersonic's offense was like a storm.

Just behind the basket is a group of Lakers fans, but at this moment they are extremely shocked.

They have always believed that the Lakers game is the most exciting game.

They can watch O'Neal dominate the basket, and they can watch Kobe's omnipotent singles.

As for the dunk?

Do you think a team with O'Neal and Kobe at the same time will have no dunks to watch?

However, at this moment, they seemed to be a little shaken.

The supersonic attack is like mercury pouring down the ground, that smooth and silky feeling.

Especially with the blessing of speed, it gives people a feeling of passion, which is really cool.

For a moment, for some old fans, it seemed that they saw the show time team.

Or so to speak.

Seeing O'Neal and Kobe attacking, you can actually imagine how the two will end the offense.

Is it a dunk, or a dunk?

But watching the Sonics game, you can't imagine it at all.

Because their speed is so fast, the attack is over before you think it through.

It may be a dunk, it may be a three-pointer, it may be Wang Hao, or it may be someone else.

The reason why the Sonics can attract so many fans is naturally because of their style of play.

Just like the future Suns, it has attracted a large number of fans.

This is not nonsense, Wang Hao's continuous entry into the All-Stars and even becoming the top voter has already explained everything.

After a few years, Nash really led the Suns to play a bombardment, but it was nothing more than picking up people's teeth.

69:72

The original 7-point gap was instantly reduced to 3 points.

The Lakers didn't dare to mess around anymore, and Robert Hawley was too embarrassed to ask for another position.

It is still the triangle offensive tactic with O'Neal as the axis.

It's just that after O'Neal got the ball this time, he attacked as usual, but found something different.

Ewing's strength is greatly reduced, but with his body and weight, he can still resist O'Neill a little.

In just one or two seconds, Michael Reid's double-team quickly caught up, and O'Neal had to pass the ball.

Of course, he can also choose not to pass the ball, but choose to play hard under the offer of the two.

However, it is doomed that the hit rate is too high, and the physical energy consumed at the same time is also very exaggerated.

Reagan Fox got the ball, and just thinking about whether he had a chance to make a shot, Gary Payton's help defense was in place.

This set of tactics of the Lakers has been cracked.

Seeing that the attack time was running out, the basketball was thrown to Kobe, and Kobe directly singled out Quentin Richardson.

Quentin Richardson's defense is good, but Kobe is carrying such a defense and scoring the ball.

It's just that Kobe can score one such goal, and maybe even score a second, but he can't always score.

Not only that, defending O'Neal is only the role of Ewing, and Wang Hao.

After Wang Hao got to the inside, his quick movement ability gave him a larger defense area.

There was one time when O'Neal wanted to beat Ewing, but this time, he tried his best.

Seeing that Ewing has been knocked away, he can dunk directly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly burst out from the flank, blocking O'Neal's dunk.

More than that, Kobe also wants to challenge.

In the one-on-one duel between Wang Hao and Kobe, Wang Hao encountered basketball with great difficulty.

To be honest, it was barely touched, and he even thought it couldn't be a slam dunk.

However, the reality is that with just such a light touch, the basketball that Kobe grabbed with one hand slipped away.

Looking at his palm, Kobe was full of helplessness and regret.

Wang Hao immediately realized that this hand is too small, it is indeed difficult to hold the basketball steadily.

At the same time, blocking O'Neal and Kobe, Wang Hao fully demonstrated what it means to be omnipotent.

The Lakers' adjustments in the second half were very effective, but the Sonics' response was also very timely.

Especially the move of adjusting Wang Hao to the fourth position caught the Lakers by surprise.

Of course, this tactic is only against the Lakers, especially the Lakers where O'Neal was shared by Ewing.

If you really change to another team with a more qualified player in the fourth position, Wang Hao will not be able to do it.

After all, he is just a defender, even in the third position, his physical advantage is not so obvious.
