Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 346 End

Chapter 346 End

Who is O'Neill?Don't look at him usually smiling with everyone, in fact this guy is very proud.

As one of the four major centers, he actually looks down on Ewing and David Robinson.

After Yao Ming joined the NBA, he held a grudge just because of the media reports.

NBA players all know that O'Neal has an unwritten rule when playing, that is, no one is allowed to dunk on his head.

Of course, most people can't do it, and the few who can do it will be knocked down by him.

Facing Wang Hao's dunk, O'Neal had no time to block the shot, so he simply chose to do it.

He directly stretched out his hand to drag Wang Hao down.

Under the huge force, Wang Hao couldn't stabilize his body at all, and inevitably lost his balance.

Then at this moment, his core strength is fully displayed, and the basketball in his hand is smashed towards the hoop.

"Boom!"

After completing the dunk abruptly, Wang Hao fell from midair to the ground.

"Oh my God, it's Wang, and Wang flipped Shaq head-on, and he made the dunk.

The ferocious big shark turned into a poor little fish at this time. "

It is naturally impossible for the live DJ of the Lakers to say such a thing, this is what the live commentary said.

The voice of the live commentary will not appear on the live broadcast, but Barkley's roaring voice is still heard by many people.

That's right, TNT TV arranged for Kenny Smith and Barkley to comment on the game on the spot.

The fans who had been cheering loudly because of the wonderful cooperation between O'Neal and Kobe were completely silent at the moment.

The scene in front of him is really unimaginable. Someone actually dunked O'Neal.

The ever-increasing home atmosphere of the Lakers was abruptly poured down by Wang Hao.

In fact, not only the atmosphere at the scene, but also the invisible momentum, at this moment, there is also a little silence.

Off the court, Phil Jackson looked at Wang Hao who was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, his eyes were full of helplessness.

As a champion coach, especially a champion coach who coached Michael Jordan.

He's rarely bothered by opposing players because his players can handle everything.

Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen, they'll take care of the most troublesome guy on the other side.

On the contrary, the opponent's head coach needs to constantly worry about Michael Jordan.

But this time, he really felt that way.

In the opening game of the Lakers, the cooperation between O'Neal and Kobe was actually arranged by him intentionally.

As for the purpose, it is naturally to boost morale.

Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it really exists.

However, Wang Hao solved this problem with only one attack, which instead boosted the morale of the Supersonics.

There is nothing more morale-boosting than dunking O'Neal, and it can also damage the morale of the Lakers.

More than that, the referee couldn't turn a blind eye to such an obvious foul by O'Neill.

With an additional penalty hit, the Sonics directly overtook the score.

3:2

The game continued, and the Lakers' offense was still the pick-and-roll cooperation between O'Neal and Kobe.

It's just that this time the Supersonics have been prepared to directly block the passing route between the two.

There is no way, Kobe can only choose singles, turn around and lean back, pull out the hand bullet and come out.

It's just that this time the Lakers retreated in time and did not allow the Supersonics to turn into a conversion offense.

Not only that, after Wang Hao broke through and split the ball, Rashad Lewis failed to hit the first shot.

The main reason is that Robert Hawley's defense followed closely and did not give Lewis an easy shot.

By the sixth game of the series, they are already very familiar with each other, and their defensive judgments are more accurate.

At the beginning of the game, both sides unanimously greatly increased their defensive strength.

Coupled with the familiar offensive routines, successful defense is not too difficult.

In 2 minutes, the two teams were completely caught in the spell of mutual strikes.

Until 2 minutes and 42 seconds, O'Neal grabbed an offensive rebound and made Lewis' defensive foul.

It's a pity that O'Neal's free throws were as stable as ever, making 2 of 1 free throws, and the two teams temporarily tied.

It's really only temporary.

Next, in the Supersonics' offense, they changed their routine, Wang Hao held the ball, and Gary Payton picked and rolled.

Fisher couldn't guard Wang Hao at all, and Kobe wanted to help.

It's just that Gary Payton reacted quickly, Wang Hao had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he assisted Gary Payton to make an air cut.

5:3

Kobe was not bad either. After consecutive changes of direction, he still broke through Wang Hao and scored with a rebound.

The game fell into anxiety, and both sides played their strongest strength.

Not only the four star players, but also the life-saving role players have performed very well.

26:25

At the end of the first quarter, the difference between the two sides was only 1 point.

At the beginning of the second quarter, there was no particularly big change in the contest between the substitute formations.

With 9 minutes and 30 seconds left in the second quarter, both sides replaced the main lineup at the same time.

The Lakers are still playing the same old way, everyone is stretched to the weak side, leaving only Kobe and O'Neal.

2 vs 2, under such circumstances, it is possible to avoid O'Neal being double-teamed as much as possible.

Of course, it is only possible, not certain.

For example, now, PJ Brown is decisively going around the front to defend, and Lewis is always ready to double-team on the other side.

However, O'Neal quickly squeezed PJ Brown away and got the basketball in the middle of the three-second zone.

To be honest, in this position, it is actually a bit far from the position where O'Neal shot.

It's just that Lewis still resolutely double-teamed.

There was no way, after all, they were facing O'Neill. This guy made people dare not relax at all.

In this way, on the weak side, the Lakers formed a small-scale three-on-two.

It can't be cured, and the Supersonics are not worried. Quick rotation and defense have always been their forte.

It is because of the Sonics' successful defense time and time again that Kobe and O'Neal are a little reluctant to pass the ball.

If you can't make a shot even if I give you the ball, then I might as well come.

It's just that this time, O'Neal didn't dare to delay, and quickly gave the ball to Robert Hawley in the bottom corner.

Michael Reid was prepared, and he helped defend in time.

It's just that Robert Holly was also prepared, and he passed the ball immediately.

After receiving the ball, Reagan Fox didn't have any delay, and he shot with open hands, and he was very resolute.

No matter how fast people run, they still can't keep up with basketball.

The situation of playing less and playing more cannot be changed, so there must still be loopholes in the rotation.

However, the choice of the offensive side is also very important.

Sometimes, if you play too much as a team, you always think about passing the ball to find an absolute open space, and don't shoot if there is no big open space.

This approach may be able to find a large vacancy, but it may also pass the opportunity away.

So in this case, isn't it better to play selfishly?

If you play selfishly, at most it will allow you to get a chance to shoot. If you have a chance to make a shot, you may not be able to make the ball.

It can only be said that in the first few games, the Sonics did a good job, but the Lakers couldn't break the game.

It's just that this time the attack was obviously well prepared.

After Robert Hawley received the ball, he had no idea of ​​​​a shot at all. The only thing he focused on was Michael Reid's supplementary defense.

By the time Michael Reid moved closer to him, he had already passed the ball.

At this time, Gary Payton hadn't moved yet.

Gary Payton is also worried, if he helps defend in advance, what will happen to Fisher?

Fisher cuts from the middle, Robert Hawley's pass as long as it is guaranteed, it is a good opportunity.

After all, the opponent's player is not a wooden man, just standing there.

Whether it is offensive tactics or defensive tactics, the most important thing is to adapt measures to local conditions and choose according to the actual situation.

Reagan Fox received the ball, and this is indeed a chance to make a shot.

If it were the same as before, he would hesitate for a while and observe the Supersonic defensive position.

In such a short time, it is very possible that Gary Payton will take turns.

Not to mention completely preventing Reagan Fox's shot, but when he makes a shot, it can form effective interference.

Today, however, Reagan Fox has made a change.

After he catches the ball, he doesn't hesitate, he doesn't even look at people, neither opponents nor teammates.

He chose to shoot directly, very resolutely.

Seeing this scene, Paul Westphal frowned, and unconsciously looked at the opposite bench.

It can be seen that this is obviously an arrangement of Phil Jackson.

When the Supersonic's rotation transition was connected, the Lakers players made a decisive shot.

I have to say that doing so is a bit of a gamble.

If the bet wins, it is really possible to break the Sonics' unlimited double-teaming of O'Neal.

But what if you lose the bet?

Paul Westphal's eyes were fixed on the basket, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

"Shh!"

Sure enough, looking at that parabola, I felt it.

If it was just a coincidence once, what about the second time?

When Fisher was in another position and also made a three-pointer, the problem became bigger.

32:37

In just 1 minute, the Lakers scored 6 points in a row and regained the lead in the score.

Paul Westphal didn't dare to delay, and quickly signaled a change.

Because he hadn't prepared in advance, his idea was also very simple, that is, the shark-killing tactic.

When Michael Reid slapped O'Neill with a slap, O'Neill's expression was almost desperate.

The effect was surprisingly good. O'Neal missed both free throws, which was equivalent to a successful defense by the Sonics.

When O'Neal made a free throw just now, Paul Westphal also made a substitution, replacing Lewis with Gerani McCoy.

Seeing McCoy play, O'Neal seems to have realized the next game.

O'Neal: Don't come here!

Well, it's not just O'Neal who knows, everyone knows that this guy just came on the court to foul.

I don't know if it was because of McCoy's playing that affected O'Neal's already unstable free throws.

It's just that it's not enough to just defend, but also to score.

Wang Hao still chose to play the pick-and-roll with Gary Payton. After the pick-and-roll ended, he directly shot a three-pointer.

It's just that this time the shot came out of the frame.

However, no one expected that PJ Brown poked hard, and the basketball flew into Wang Hao's hands again.

This time, Wang Hao did not miss the opportunity.

"Shh!"

Wang Hao, who is outside the three-point line, may miss a chance, but he will never miss a second chance.

Wait until the Sonics replace McCoy and the game returns to normal.

42:39

The Sonics went ahead by 3 points. O'Neal made 8 of 3 free throws and made a huge contribution.

After returning to the normal rhythm of the game, it was still the same routine as before. This time, Robert Hawley's shot missed.

"Well, I have to admit that although the shark hacking tactic is very useful, it is definitely the most disgusting tactic."

"Paul Westphal, another head coach who has carried forward the shark-slashing tactic."

……

The commentators of the major TV stations, even those who support the supersonic speed, couldn't help complaining at this time.

No way, the impact of the shark-slashing tactics on the rhythm of the game is really too great.

Especially when O'Neal's free throws are not strong, this tactic is so damn easy to use.

There is also the commentary of the Lakers fans, who couldn't bear it at this time, and directly called for official intervention.

"Shaq is killing the game, no one wants to see Shaq free throws, or endless free throws.

If one day, the Lakers and the Pistons play against each other, can you imagine the situation?

Shaq free throws, Ben free throws, Shaq free throws, Ben free throws..."

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation of the Lakers' offense, the Sonics quickly seized the opportunity and continued to play offensive and defensive transitions.

Especially Wang Hao, who hit 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, directly led the team to a 15:5 spurt.

57:50

At the end of halftime, the Lakers have fallen behind by 7 points.

This is the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers, and this is a battle on the verge of life and death for the Lakers.

After halftime, everyone is waiting for the Lakers' counterattack, especially the OK combination's counterattack.

In fact, all this really happened.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Lakers took the lead, and the OK team scored 8 points in a row.

61:60

Seeing that the Lakers had a chance to overtake the score, but at this moment, a man appeared.

The Lakers were looking for O'Neal inside. At this time, a figure flew out from behind and directly completed the steal.

Wang Hao immediately started to fight back. Just as he confronted Kobe, he directly pulled out and hit a three-pointer.

However, this is just the beginning.

When the Lakers' offense was fruitless, Wang Hao fell to the low post to ask for the ball, turned around and made a jumper.

During the Lakers' offense, Kobe and O'Neal picked and rolled, but were suddenly double-teamed by Wang Hao and Gary Payton.

Being forced to a dead corner, Kobe could do nothing but pass the ball as much as possible.

Then, in an instant when he was passing the ball, Wang Hao poked lightly and touched the basketball.

PJ Brown accepted the basketball and gave it directly to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao actually made a direct shot two steps away from the three-point line, and it went in.

Don't ask why, it just feels like it's coming.

In basketball, this kind of thing can be explained very clearly. There will always be a few times, the feeling comes, and how to shoot and score.

Low singles play three-pointers.

A mid-range shot off a teammate's screen.

There is also a strong outside shot that is almost 24 seconds of offense.

……

Wang Hao seemed to turn on the offensive switch. During this period of time, he directly took over the game.

In other words, he does not intend to bring the game back to Seattle.

In the third quarter, Wang Hao made 14 of 10 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 25 points in a single quarter.

You know, the Lakers only scored 26 points in the entire third quarter.

94:76

At this moment, the Staples Center has become somewhat silent, and the fans have become dull.

The laughter before the game was gone, and there were only fans covering their heads.

There were also their astonished gazes, and in those gazes, only Nadao was left.

That guy kicked the Lakers off the cliff in just one game.
