Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 91 The Big Shark Is Coming

"Zhang Wei, can you tell me about Wang Hao? From today, I'm a fan of Wang Hao!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei, who has the most common name in the country, couldn't help but want to complain.

"Bah, do you really like basketball? You are obviously greedy for someone's body, can you stop insulting basketball?"

However, Zhang Wei finally endured it, after all, this is one of the few opportunities to talk to the goddess.

What if?
This has been the case since CCTV began broadcasting Sonics games live.

The number of Wang Hao's fans in China is also growing day by day.

Far away in Seattle, Zhang Lili's interview with Wang Hao is still going on.

Zhang Lili: "Wang Hao, we all know that this game is very important for both teams.

Because it involves the competition for the top spot, do you have confidence in today's game? "

"Of course, we are full of confidence in this game, because Kobe is injured, and today the Lakers are just disabled.

In this case, I think it is unimaginable if none of them can win the game. "

Wang Hao's words actually have the same meaning. The Lakers can't win against the disabled team, and they don't have confidence.

So how can the Sonics have the face to occupy the top position, and they will be kicked out sooner or later.

"It seems that the entire Sonics team is very confident, so can you disclose, what preparations are there?"

There must be preparations, but it must not be said.

"There is no special preparation, just follow the previous tactics and play normally!"

……

The interview is over and the competition is about to begin.

"Di!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game began.

Without any suspense, O'Neal grabbed the jump ball very easily, and the Lakers took the lead in attacking.

Horace Grant followed up with O'Neal for the first time, and the task of defending O'Neal today belongs to him.

If Wen Baker is really going to defend, it is probably the result of being blown up.

It is also difficult for Horace to guard O'Neal, but he can restrict him. As a former Magic teammate, he is still very familiar with O'Neal.

Except for O'Neal, the other four players of the Lakers started, and the back line was Fisher Fisher and Ron Harper.

Ron Harper is an important member of the Bulls' second three-peat dynasty and is also a defensive expert.

As for the front line, it is Glenn Rice and AC Green. Defense of Glenn Rice will be the focus of today.

Because O'Neal can't defend, then he can only cut off the connection between O'Neal and his teammates.

In the final analysis, this is the limitation of every inside player, who needs to rely on outside players to pass the ball.

A few years ago, why the Lakers couldn't achieve results, was it because O'Neal didn't play well enough?
Obviously not, O'Neal has proved to everyone in the past few years that he is the number one center in the league.

Because no one on the Lakers can help him.

Whether it is Glen Rice or Eddie Jones, they all need O'Neal to involve defensive pressure and help them play better.

But they couldn't take the initiative to help O'Neal, and waited until Kobe came back to let O'Neal relieve the pressure.

To put it bluntly, Glen Rice and Eddie Jones do not have the ability to attack tough problems and cannot force their opponents to change their defense.

Kobe was injured, and today's Lakers are just like a few years ago, O'Neal has to bear the pressure on his stomach.

Unless O'Neal scored 40 or even 50 points alone today, otherwise, he would not be able to beat the Sonics alone.

Sure enough, the Lakers' first offense was to find O'Neal.

Horace was also polite, and directly let go of the defense, facing O'Neal, there is no shame in doing so.

If you are really blindly confident and choose to confront O'Neal head-on, the final result can only be O'Neal ravaging the basket again and again.

On the other side, Gary Payton also stepped forward to press in time, making it not so easy for Fisher to go out.

No way, Fisher can only move the ball to the other side along the three-point line.

This is also the tactic of the Lakers, specifically breaking the front defense and passing the ball to O'Neal.

As early as the previous moment, O'Neal had already come to the other side of the backboard and wanted to occupy his position.

At this time, Horace was already blocked behind O'Neal, and it was too late to defend him.

After O'Neal got the ball, he immediately lowered his waist to dribble, and then squeezed hard behind him.

Horace couldn't hold O'Neal at all, and was easily squeezed away, watching O'Neal violently dunk.

With a powerful dunk, O'Neal didn't even pull the rim, but Wang Hao could still clearly hear the trembling sound of the entire basketball hoop.

Horace is actually not thin, but facing the huge O'Neill, he couldn't bear it at all.

It's okay if you can't carry it, but under such a huge weight, O'Neill still has flexible steps and super explosive power.

I have to say, it's outrageous!
O'Neal, who dunked successfully, looked very excited, accurately found the camera, and prepared to celebrate in a funny way.

Unexpectedly, two figures on the left and one on the right ran past, and they were Horace and Wen Baker.

On the other side, Gary Payton still dribbles across half court.

This is the second set of tactics prepared by the Sonics, which is to play fast and try to speed up.

In fact, this is also the way most teams face the Lakers and O'Neal.

It's just that, after all, it's not the era of small balls, and the bombardment tactics haven't fully worked out.

Even the Mavericks are just speeding up, avoiding meaningless waste of time, and speeding up the tempo.

In such an era background, simply speeding up will often destroy the team's own rhythm.

However, facing a player of O'Neal's level, sometimes you have to block it.

Seeing Horace and Wen Baker crossing the half court, O'Neill was taken aback for a moment, but immediately returned to defense.

However, at this time, after Gary Payton rushed through the half, facing Fisher's forward pressure, he immediately chose to pass the ball.

Because at this time, Wang Hao had already gotten rid of Glen Rice's defense and made an air cut to the inside.

There is no way, the offense has just ended, the Lakers' defense has not yet settled down, everything is messy.

When Ron Harper saw it, he immediately shrank to the basket to make up defense, but saw that Wang Hao swung his arm lightly, and the ball had already been passed.

Brent Barry just caught up, and he jumped high after receiving the ball one step before the free throw line, showing what it means that white people can fly!

"boom!"

The atmosphere of the fans at the scene was instantly ignited, and the basket was blown up twice at the beginning of the game. What could be more exciting than this?

But this time, O'Neill was long overdue.

Seeing the basketball already in the basket, O'Neal felt bad all over, so he dared to make a trip for nothing.

Returning to the offense, he once again showed his strength. After squeezing Horace away from the basket, he made a layup.

This time, the Lakers were prepared and returned to defense immediately, not giving the Sonics a chance to make a quick break.
