I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 472 The Lakers win two consecutive championships! (5K)

O'Neal's reaction was extremely fast. After hearing the sound of the basket, he became flexible and fat in seconds, and ran away immediately.

Behind him, the basket is like a conquered woman, lying on the ground.

Don't ask why O'Neal runs so fast, because he has done things like dunking the basket or even the basket too many times!
According to incomplete statistics, including both formal and informal games, O'Neal has dunked a full 18 baskets so far in his career!
This includes shattering the backboard glass, pulling down the entire basket, and directly breaking the basket...

Eighteen ways O'Neal abused the frame in a fancy way, so he has a very interesting nickname: the basket quality inspector!
If you say this box is okay or not, it will only be okay if O'Neill buckles it!

In fact, as early as 2000, ESPN made a highlight of O'Neal dunking the basket. At that time, the ratings in North America exploded.

In basketball, dunking the basket represents your strength, and it is also a violent display with more visual impact than dunking. It is something that players are proud of.

This is also an important reason why fans love O'Neal so much.

Who doesn't love a funny, high-QQ, dominant and violent big fat guy?

But if you look carefully at the highlights of ESPN, you will find one thing, that is, the pixels of the scenes in it are a bit blurred.

It happened that way because those things happened earlier, when the cinematography was relatively poor.

Take the dunking basket as an example, that happened in 1993, O'Neal's second year in the league.

Because before that, there has never been a player with the strength of O'Neal, and the quality of the basket and the basket is completely sufficient.

But O'Neill broke through that threshold!
After that, the manufacturer improved the quality of the basket and the basket for O'Neill, and such things happened less.

Then, it is in front of you!
Manufacturers have calculated O'Neill's strength, but they can't calculate that O'Neill will get fat so fast!

O'Neal was only 125 kilograms when he first entered the league, and his peak weight was 1997 kilograms in his second year with the Lakers, that is, in 154.

But now, O'Neill's weight is 161 kg!

A fat man weighing more than 300 kilograms is not a joke on O'Neill!

And although he is fat, O'Neill's body fat content is not too high, and most of it is muscle, the kind that can exert strength.

As a result, "Basket Quality Inspector" is online again!

This year's basket is unqualified!
"This guy, what did you do!"

Mark Jackson was dumbfounded.

Although he had played in the NBA for a long time, he had never seen O'Neal dunk the basket in a game. It was really shocking to see it with his own eyes.

"Looks like we're going into an extra break!"

But Brin on the side was not surprised, and even wanted to make fun of it.

Things like this made this year's finals even more topical.

Phil Jackson was also a bit intimidated at first.

O'Neal is now 34 years old, not 22 years old, and this kind of thing can easily hurt him.

But after seeing that O'Neill was fine, his mood improved instead.

Because it is the entire basket that is broken, it takes half to an hour to fix it from front to back.

In other words, O'Neal could rest that much more time.

The direct result of this is that O'Neal, who could only play 7 minutes in the first quarter, can play at least 10 minutes!

Don't underestimate the extra 3 minutes. In a game of this level, one more round may make the result of the game completely different!
It is the fans and the Wizards who are uncomfortable.

Fans have to wait, and the Wizards, who are eager to chase points, also have to wait!

……

It took a full hour for the new frame and basket to be replaced.

Interestingly, after the change, the staff even ran over to O'Neill and told him:
This is a spare basket, if it is damaged again, the game will have to be postponed.

O'Neill nodded after listening, but was overjoyed in his heart.

If he breaks this button again, is it good news for the Lakers?
Because at that time, Sun Hao's injury would be fine!

So this staff member never dreamed that his reminder had the opposite effect!
After the game, McGrady and Yao Ming continued to pick and roll in the Wizards' offense, and they continued to pick and roll.

"when!"

The basketball went out of the frame, and it was obviously sideways!
Sitting off the court for a long time, McGrady's hands became cold!
O'Neal squeezed away Yao Ming and received the defensive rebound.

He is full of energy now, just like the beginning of the game!
When it came to the offensive end, he took the initiative to put up for Payton to pick and roll, and then took the defense away after taking it apart.

Payton's breakthrough throw from the other side.

The ball bounced high off the back of the rim.

Yao Ming turned around and was about to collect the defensive rebound.

But the moment he stretched out his hand, a huge pressure came from behind him.

When he realized it was O'Neill.

"Oh!"

Amid the exclamation of the fans at the scene, O'Neal had already smashed the ball into the basket through him!

crazy!

The fans are crazy!

Senseless!

Yao Ming is dumbfounded!

In history, Yao Ming detained many others, and was also detained by many people.

Among them, O'Neal, an old opponent, has dunked him many times.

But now that he has entered the NBA earlier, he has also become dominant earlier, and the number of dunks is naturally less than in history.

Not to mention, being backward!

The feeling of the first time!

Sun Hao grinned.

This time it's not a hand pain, but a little distress for Yao Ming.

Although the NBA is embarrassed to say that he is a center if he is not dunked by others, but when he comes back to tease him, it feels completely different from what is happening now.

Today O'Neill is really full of firepower.

Perhaps, this can be called "Full Shark"!
8 is better than 15!

For the first time since the finals, the Lakers opened the score in the opening game!
At this moment, those provocative logos in the stands were silently put away.

Those fans, now their intestines are full of regrets!
It's not good to provoke anyone, but to provoke the "big shark"!
Nelson and Yao Ming pick and roll in the frontcourt, but the Lakers don't change.

Nelson made an emergency stop for a jumper.

"when!"

nor!
The touch will be contagious, and the Wizards will also be accurate to Uncle Huo and McGrady in the opening game.

But after an unexpected break for an hour, McGrady and Nelson were determined!

O'Neal blocked Yao Ming, and this time Mourning protected the defensive rebound.

The Twin Towers have a huge advantage on the defensive end.

And after the Lakers took the lead, they didn't rush to attack.

Payton slowly advanced the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to O'Neal.

This time, the four outsiders of the Wizards are closing in.

O'Neal has been too incomprehensible since the beginning of the game.

O'Neill chose to pass the ball to... Sun Hao this time.

Sun Hao had a good chance after receiving the ball.

If this was normal, this kind of opportunity would be a chance to give points.

But this time when he catches the ball, he feels that he is not shooting a basketball but a shot put!

Although the left hand is only an auxiliary hand, it still has to be raised after all.

"when!"

The result was also obvious, the assist hand was out of balance, and Sun Hao's shot went out of the frame!

Carlisle let out a long breath when he saw it.

O'Neal is in hot form, but Sun Hao is suffering from injuries and will not perform very well.

As long as the Wizards can not be opened up, the further they play, the greater the advantage the Wizards will have.

But just as he thought this way, O'Neal jumped up from the encirclement of the three, grabbing the offensive rebound abruptly!
This O'Neal!The world is invincible!

After grabbing the rebound this time, O'Neal did not attack as before, but passed the ball to the outside again.

Moreover, it was passed on to Sun Hao again!
Some fans at the scene were happy when they saw this. This is their trust in Sun Hao's instinct, or it's embarrassing Sun Hao!

Sun Hao made another shot after receiving the ball.

And the way he shot made everyone's eyes widen.

Sun Hao's left hand only assisted the moment he raised his hand, and when his right hand lifted the ball up, his left hand did not follow.

Appeared! Another realistic version of "Heizi's Basketball": One-handed shooting!

Sun Hao's reaction was quick. Since the left hand can't play the role that the auxiliary hand should have, it's better not to use it!
And don't tell me, after this one-handed shot, the trajectory and strength of the ball seem to be better than the previous shot!
"Shh!"

Then, to the stunned eyes of the fans, it went in!

"Unbelievable!"

Mark Jackson in the commentary booth once again exclaimed.

There were so many things that surprised him tonight.

It's really a fight between gods and gods!

But Kobe has also done one-handed shooting, and it was done with his left hand.

So this kind of shooting can be done, but the stability will be poor.

And what cannot be ignored is that Sun Hao has a strong throwing ability.

Just think of him as a throw from the three-point line!

8 is better than 18!

The Lakers have only played less than half a quarter at the beginning of the game, and they have already established a double-digit lead!
Carlisle, timeout!

Although it is difficult to accept, the Wizards are now at an absolute disadvantage.

Sun Hao's injury activated the "Full Shark", and the Wizards have a headache!

After a timeout, McGrady broke through for a layup and caused Mourning to foul. He went to the free throw line and made two free throws, which finally helped the Wizards continue to score.

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and Payton continued to give the ball to O'Neal.

But the moment O'Neal caught the ball and turned to attack, Uncle Huo pounced on him!

Whistle, foul!
Carlisle once again resorted to the shark-killing tactic!

O'Neal was sent to the free throw line!
When the fans at the scene saw this, they also reacted immediately, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

The game was so intense that they all forgot.

O'Neal's free throw may be the only way for the Wizards to limit him now!
O'Neal goes to the free throw line.

With the extra rest, his energy still looks strong.

The fans at the scene tried their best to make interference noises, and the air sticks of the fans in the front row were also banging.

O'Neal's first free throw.

"Shh!"

To everyone's surprise, O'Neal's first free throw was hollow!

Carlisle froze for a moment.

"Shh!"

Then, O'Neal's second free throw was also hollow!

O'Neal made two free throws, and they were both hollow!

"What did Phil do?"

In the commentary seat, this time it wasn't Mark Jackson, but Brin who exclaimed.

O'Neal's free throw in front of him is outrageous!
You must know that the shooting rate is less than 60% all the year round, and this season it has dropped to 46.9%, and it is only 41% in the playoffs!

The meaning of this hit rate translated into words is: if two goals can be scored in one penalty, it is already an auspicious day!
But the quality of O'Neal's free throws in front of him is obviously not luck!
Sun Hao was also very surprised, this was no longer the Shaq he knew.

The only explanation should be what O'Neal himself said: his free throws are only accurate at critical moments.

Now is the critical moment!
McGrady scored Yao Ming in the frontcourt, and Yao Ming finally found a chance to dunk the ball into the basket.

The ball caused a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene, and it also boosted the morale of the Wizards.

Then, O'Neal was fouled by McGrady again.

Shark hacking tactics are still going on!
Carlyle is not a believer today.

The noise at the scene was even worse.

O'Neal took the first free throw for interference.

The ball hit the front of the basket, but it still crawled in!

The first penalty, no surprises.

For the second penalty, he adjusted his breathing before shooting.

"Shh!"

Then, another hollow.

O'Neal scored four free throws in a row!Three hollows!
After he made the penalty, he couldn't help but look at his hands.

This feeling is better than any dunk!
Moreover, being able to make free throws and stop the watch for free throws, and then he can walk up slowly, will be of great help to his physical recovery!

Carlisle is autistic.

Today's O'Neal is an open O'Neal!
When hacking and slashing tactics can't stop the big shark, then there really is nothing that can stop him.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Wizards 35 to 20 by as much as 15 points.

This was unthinkable in previous games, but now it just happens!

O'Neal scored 22 points and 9 rebounds in a single quarter! !

This is only 5 points less than his career scoring record in a single quarter!
And more importantly, he made 6 of 5 free throws in a single quarter, and was replaced with only 1 minute left in the first quarter!
All-powerful shark, so terrifying!
This performance also boosted the morale of the Lakers.

In the next two or three quarters, O'Neal continued to play strong, and the Lakers also firmly grasped the situation on the court.

By the end of the three quarters, the Lakers still led the Wizards by 89 points 74 to 15!
No one could have imagined such a situation before the game.

Because no matter how you look at it, it will be a tiebreaker, and there is a high probability that the Wizards will win.

However, Sun Hao's unexpected comeback boosted the morale of the Lakers. After being provoked, O'Neal turned into a "full strength shark" and killed the Quartet.

All the accidents add up and become the situation in front of me.

Life is full of surprises!
In the fourth quarter, Carlisle put all his eggs in one basket and replaced Yao Mai in the opening game.

According to the situation on the scene, if he still rotates regularly, the Wizards don't even have a chance to win.

Facts have also proved that his decision is correct and courageous.

After being forced to the edge of the cliff, the Wizards began to chase points under the leadership of Yao Mai, and quickly played an 8-2 offensive, narrowing the point difference to single digits.

Although the morale of the Lakers is strong, Sun Hao and O'Neal are not present, and it is still difficult for them to block the offensive of the Wizards.

Just after seeing something was wrong, O'Neill went to Jackson and volunteered.

"You need rest."

Jackson didn't agree at first.

O'Neill is no better than Sun Hao.

The first quarter was because of that accident and he got extra rest to play that long.

But now the fourth quarter has only played more than two minutes, and O'Neal is prone to injury if he goes up to play.

Sun Hao is already injured, if O'Neal is injured again, the Lakers will be desperate.

And because O'Neal had a previous record of recovering from injuries at the beginning of the season, he didn't want to take the Lakers' next season at risk.

"After playing tonight, I have plenty of time to rest!"

O'Neill didn't say something like "I have time to rest after I die" to his deadly opponent Barkley, but what he said was more realistic.

At the end of the three quarters, they still lead by 15+, which is the Lakers' best chance for the finals.

Because no one can guarantee the state of Sun Hao who has just returned from injury, not to mention that most people actually do not believe that Sun Hao can recover from injury;

It is also because no one can guarantee that O'Neal will be in such a good state tonight in the next game, and it is really rare to see a big shark who is so accurate in free throws.

"Phil, trust Shaq and trust us."

At this time, Sun Hao also came over and said.

The two main generals said so, and Jackson finally nodded.

Some risks are worth taking.

A short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and the Lakers made a substitution.

Sun Hao, O'Neal, Mourning.

Three ups and three downs, except for Finley who stayed on the court, the Lakers starters all came back early!

This is the start of the decisive battle ahead of time.

O'Neal attacked the inside as soon as he came up.

Yao Ming gritted his teeth in the defense, coupled with Huo Ershu's assistance in defense, in the end... still failed to defend.

The main purpose of Yao Ming's weight gain in history is to fight against O'Neal.

Now that he hasn't gained weight, he will definitely not be able to resist O'Neal who is heavier than the same period in history.

O'Neal successfully scored the ball and caused Uncle Huo's thugs!
And O'Neill's penalty is still there!
"Maybe we can celebrate the Lakers' defending title in advance!"

Mark Jackson expressed emotion in the commentary booth for the Nth time.

With O'Neal like this, the Lakers really have no reason to lose.

Hamilton ran without the ball in the frontcourt, and he also had a mid-range pass from McGrady!
84 is better than 94!

The Wizards are in this period of state, and they are also fighting!

O'Neal was double-teamed in the frontcourt and was split to Payton, who then split to Sun Hao who cut in.

After Sun Hao received the ball, he took a step with his right hand and threw it directly.

After playing all night, he also knows how to play best in his current state.

"Shh!"

The ball passed Uncle Huo who turned around to help defend, and fell steadily into the net bag.

84 is better than 96!

O'Neill dug a hole, Sun Hao buried a hole!

O'Neill, give McGrady a big cap on the defensive end!
It is also difficult for McGrady to break through the obstacles of the twin towers!
And the Lakers didn't waste such an opportunity.

Looking back, O'Neal received Payton's breakthrough ball, took a step and jumped up, and it was another violent abuse of the frame with both hands.

The hearts of the staff on the sidelines jumped.

He was really afraid that O'Neal would dunk the rim again before the game was over.

84 is better than 98!

As soon as the instant kill combination came on the stage, the Lakers began to take the initiative on the field again!

The Lakers really don't know how to lose tonight!
The Wizards are still trying, but as time goes by, the chances are getting smaller and smaller.

When McGrady missed the last shot, the score was fixed at 113 to 101!

The Lakers won G6 when they were not favored by everyone!

And won more than ten points!
This time there is no G6 grandson, but there is a full-strength shark!

O'Neal scored 43 points and 13 rebounds!At the age of 34, he almost broke his single-game scoring record in the playoffs!
Sun Hao scored 21 points with injuries!
Incredible game!
At the moment of the final whistle, the Lakers all rushed to the court.

They successfully defended their title in an unexpected way.

They have completed two consecutive championships!
