Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 45 It is no longer a matter of withdrawing the main force!
Calling a timeout just proves that Nelson is trying to find a way.

In fact, the strength gap between the lineups of the two sides is too great. The Mavericks can only attack desperately and cannot defend. Now the Lakers lineup is full of players who can shoot.

Surprisingly, before Old Nelson could think of a way, Li Mu handed him the knife.

Li Mu swung Billups, Kobe and O'Neal back on the court.

At this time, the Lakers' lineup became Billups, Curry, Kobe, Horry, and O'Neal.

Without Bowen, without Big Ben, it's okay, as long as O'Neal is the main player.

At the same time, Nelson Sr. also replaced Nash, Nowitzki and Bradley.

The game came back, Nash played a pick-and-roll tactic with Nowitzki in the frontcourt.

After catching the ball, Nowitzki made a two-point mid-range jumper...

Swish-!
Two points hit and the bleeding was stopped in time.

Looking back, the fans and audience at the scene watched a lively scene.

On the defensive end, the Mavericks fouled again. Bradley didn't realize that he had already made 4 fouls. When O'Neal was sent to the free throw line, he was only one foul away, and he would graduate.

Standing on the free throw line, O'Neal withstood the pressure and made two rare free throws, which did not let the Mavericks' foul tactics succeed.

Next, Nash and Nowitzki continued to cooperate with the offensive and scored. On the defensive end, it was still a shark-killing tactic.

O'Neal was also competitive enough, and only lost 6 point in the next 1 free throws, but instead let Nowitzki bear 4 fouls.

Soon, the young players Nash and Nowitzki showed ups and downs, shooting consecutive shots and attacking the iron, but the other players of the Mavericks also missed repeatedly when they singled out the Lakers' defense.

The Lakers seized the fast-break counterattack and easily opened the point difference between the two sides to 10 points.

Less than 2 minutes before the end of the second quarter, Kobe broke through and went to the basket, causing a thug foul by Nowitzs.

While Kobe made two free throws, Dirk Nowitzki was also charged with 5 fouls.

In this way, the Mavericks' defensive strength, which is not rich, is now even more difficult.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers opened the point difference to 11 points.

Back in the second half of the game, the amateur operation of the Mavericks' shark-slashing tactics continued to appear.

The player who replaced Bradley, Chris Anstie, the 97th overall pick in the 18 draft, did not catch his foul timing well.

O'Neal just took the ball, and he fouled directly. You know, the number of fouls in this quarter has not yet been fouled, and free throws have not yet been reached.

After wasting a foul, Chris Anstey was a little confused. After O'Neal caught the ball, he fouled again. O'Neal had already made a shooting action, so there must be no mistakes, right?
Bang-dang-!
While O'Neal suffered a foul, he continued to attack the basket and scored a 2+1 dunk!

Then, O'Neal caught the ball with his back and showed his skills. After shaking his shoulders and turning around, he lifted the ball and waited for Chris Anstie to jump up. O'Neal carried the opponent's body and blasted the basketball into the basket again.

beep-!
Still 2+1! !
More than 2 minutes into the third quarter, O'Neal scored 7 points. Chris Anstie has not yet implemented the hacking tactic, and has already committed 3 fouls.

Soon, he successfully executed the shark-cutting tactic, and as a result, he had already carried five times on his back.

Then, Nelson Sr. replaced the 37-year-old veteran Reiter Rod Williams.

He continued to carry out his own experiments, showing the name of the mad scientist to the fullest.

However, with these fringe inside appearances, the Mavericks' offensive firepower can only rely on outside offense.

However, the Lakers' perimeter defense, composed of Billups, Kobe and Bowen, is extremely powerful.

The Mavericks' offense stalled, making it difficult to even make shots.

Six minutes into the third quarter, the Mavericks had trailed by more than 6 points.

The Mavericks did not surrender, and Li Mu did not withdraw the main force.

Moreover, it is no longer a matter of withdrawing the main force when the game has reached this point.

The Mavericks took the initiative to provoke the war, and the Lakers must prepare for a counterattack.

"Mavericks like this, I don't want to see them alive!"

Before the start of the second half of the game, Li Mu gave the order to go all out.

Old Nelson's shark-slaying tactics, which are not visible now, are digging the foundation of the Lakers.

This is unforgivable!
On the offensive end, Li Mu asked Billups to hand over the damn basketball to O'Neal. On the defensive end, all the players strengthened their physical confrontation and pressed the whole court so that every ball must be contested.

At this time, the Lakers dominated both offensive and defensive ends, showing terrifying strength, the scene fell to the Lakers, and the Mavericks were beaten to the ground.

With 1 point left at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers have already led by 30 points.

In the fourth quarter, in addition to O'Neal, Li Mu replaced the starting lineup with Fisher, Curry, Lewis, Horry and O'Neal.

In the first three quarters, O'Neal scored 38 points. Li Mu's goal, what a bad idea, just let O'Neal score 58 points.

From the beginning of the third quarter, the boos from the fans outside the stadium kept ringing.

Li Mu didn't care, and continued to let the team pursue the winning advantage.

Soon, Samaki Walker was beaten to 6 fouls by O'Neal. The Mavericks had no inside line. Old Nelson replaced Nowitzki and Bradley one after another. There was no suspense. Both were beaten to 6 fouls and graduated.

When O'Neal scored 47 points and chose to pass the ball instead of attacking, Li Mu replaced O'Neal.

However, the Mavericks' bench lineup, facing the Lakers' bench lineup, has a lot of gaps in strength, and the point difference continues to widen.

hum~~
The scorer beeps and the full game time is over.

With a score of 127 to 84, the Lakers beat the Mavericks by 43 points and won 8 consecutive victories in the new season.

O'Neal made 17 of 13 shots, 35 of 21 free throws, and scored 47 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks. Although he scored high, his weakness in free throws was shocking.

大本7分11篮板2盖帽，罚球10中3，优缺点明显。

Bowen didn't make many fouls, and he made 6 of 3 free throws. As an outsider who claims to be able to play shooting guard, this shooting rate is also quite unreliable.

Not surprisingly, the Lakers' Iron Squad has already earned an iron-like reputation in the league.

……

On February 2, the Lakers' opponent in the second game in Texas was the San Antonio Spurs.

Despite a back-to-back away game and a tricky schedule, the Lakers still defeated the Spurs by a score of 105 to 96, extending their winning streak to 10 games.

David Robinson still hasn't given up his position as the core of the offense. He will be very uncomfortable if he is suddenly asked to get 25+14 data from the previous 15+10 data per game.

The battle for the core leadership is a long battle, and it cannot be resolved in a day or two.

In Li Mu's previous life, the OK team fought for two years, and after losing both sides, it ended with the shark swimming eastward.

The Big Three of the Heat claim to play brother basketball. As a result, James would rather waste a year than a championship. He still wants to confirm this position so that he can focus on winning.

No matter how gentlemanly David Robinson is, no matter how talented Duncan is, it will take time to adapt and adjust.

The new season has played 10 games in the regular season. After the Spurs lost to the Lakers, they only got 5 wins and 5 losses, and their state is very average.

Of course, this is not the main reason for the Spurs' loss.

What the Spurs lost in this game was not inside, but outside.

Kobe broke out suddenly, scoring 33 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists supernaturally, blowing up the outside line of the Spurs and becoming the spoiler of the game.

O'Neal is just a basic operation, scoring 35 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, playing the Admiral of the Sea, and still working very hard.

The OK combination plays collectively, and any team will die without life.
