Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 64 The dream is broken, and it turns back to nothing!
"Our main core players almost wiped out the core players of the Magic, but in the end, the Lakers were blown away by a group of role players from the Magic.

Can you accept this terrible ending?Are you willing to accept that this will lose the winning streak?

If you can't, use all your energy to get back what you lost in the first half! "

With such a weird situation in this game, all Li Mu can do is to feed the players a bowl of chicken soup.

Tactics or anything doesn't matter.

The opponent is already unreasonable, so if the Lakers want to counterattack the game, they must be even more unreasonable!
Therefore, in the second half of the game, Li Mu took the strongest attacking lineup on the field.

Billups, Kobe, Rice, Horry, O'Neal.

"Lakers, this is going to be desperate!

Just, don't you think it's too late? Chuck Daly said with a smile.

He also did not expect that the first half of the game would have such a fairy start.

Inexplicably, the Magic's role players broke out, and even the rookies broke out with strong offensive firepower. In this game, it was too difficult not to win.

Chuck Daly decided to stabilize the wave and use the starting 5 tigers to stabilize the Lakers' counterattack.

The game started in the third quarter, and Billups continued to catch the ball for O'Neal.

beep~
O'Neal opened up the offensive space, and Austin knew that he couldn't resist, and immediately interrupted O'Neal's offense with a foul.

O'Neal made a shooting action and got 2 free throw opportunities.

Amid the boos of the fans, O'Neal played normally and missed both free throws.

Boom-!
Boom-!
Seeing O'Neal's performance, the fans and audience were all happy.

Li Mu also frowned, the Magic team is playing with their mentality.

Well, not just heartbreak, but in retrospect, the Magic scored a goal.

Nick Anderson faced Kobe's defense and hit a mid-range two-pointer.

The gap between the two sides came to 22 points.

On the commentary stage, Mike Brin shook his head, not optimistic about the Lakers, and said, "The winning streak of the Lakers, no accident, will be terminated tonight.

Tonight's game obviously does not belong to the Lakers.

When O'Neal needs to chase points, the flaws in free throws are actually highlighted.

For the Lakers, this is too difficult. "

"It's not that the Lakers have no chance. Although O'Neal missed the free throw, the Magic shouldn't feel bad either. Isaac Austin has been fouled 5 times.

If he fouls again, the Magic can only count on rookie Michael Doriak, who will continue to incarnate as Michael, to withstand O'Neal's offense on the defensive end.

I think there is no difference between such a situation and a miracle! "The groom Albert said lightly.

Sure enough, in the next game.

When Austin, when O'Neal, and the entire Lakers team realized that the Magic's starting center had 5 fouls on his back.

The content of the game is very straightforward.

During the Lakers' offense, Billups kept throwing the ball to O'Neal. Austin realized that he had only one foul left, so he could only fight and retreat, allowing O'Neal to easily make consecutive dunks at the basket.

In the next 3 minutes, the Lakers have recovered the point difference to 17 points.

Chuck Daly was dissatisfied with Austin's soft defense, rushed to the sidelines, and yelled at Austin.

The effect is immediate.

Austin suddenly awakened and burst out with great power.

Then in the defense, O'Neal turned around and dunked, and with a bang, he smashed the iron and flew out.

Immediately afterwards, in the offense, Austin suddenly pulled up to a high position and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Hardaway.

After receiving the ball, Austin made a jumper and hit a precise mid-range shot.

In other words, in college, he was blown into Malone the postman because of his stable mid-range shot.

However, it is obviously not a good choice to fight hard with O'Neal.

After Austin's offensive and defensive ends suddenly flashed, he was immediately punished by O'Neal.

It was still a new move. After digging through the defense, O'Neal turned around and swayed towards the basket. After Austin took off, O'Neal carried the block and blasted the basketball into the basket forcefully.

beep~~
After scoring a two-point dunk, Austin got his sixth foul and officially graduated.

The one who replaced him was the second quarter. Michael Doriak, the 17th overall pick in 98, scored 11 points in a single quarter. He is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 kilograms. He doesn't seem to be afraid of O'Neal just by looking at his body. shock.

Bang-dang-!
O'Neal didn't feel good about free throws tonight, and now he has made 7 of 2 free throws, so bad that he has no friends.

"Michael Doriac was expected to return to the pitch.

Hardaway obviously felt the rookie's offensive firepower. After he broke through Billups, he chose to pass the ball to the rookie center.

Catch and jump shot…”

"Kangdang——!
The rookie center failed to become Michael, and this offensive round was still the ordinary Doriak.

Well, looking at the statistics, Doriak is now averaging 6 points and 3 rebounds per game. "

On the court, the offense and defense transitioned, the Lakers attacked, and then Kobe became the protagonist on the court.

From outside the three-point line, he lifted the ball and feinted a shot, broke through to the inside, faced Grant's block, and made a split dunk, scoring 2+1! !
The Lakers are only 15 points behind.

Afterwards, Kobe, who had difficulty catching the ball, played off the ball, circled around, came back to the weak side, received a pass from Billus Puss, broke through a three-step layup, and made an aerial pick.

The Lakers are only 13 points behind.

After Kobe led the Lakers' offense, he began to focus on the defensive end.

Preventing Nick Anderson in the third quarter, he only scored 4 of 1 shots, and his shooting percentage was very dismal.

The Lakers played three-dimensional, all-round offense.

O'Neal dominated the basket, and Michael Doriak didn't even look at it.

Kobe Bryant dominates both ends of the offense and defense, can shoot in the middle, and can also hit the layup.

After Rice opened the situation with the OK combination, it also rained three-pointers from outside the three-point line. He made 4 of 3 shots and made the Magic lose their way.

The score was 80 to 87. In the third quarter, the Lakers recovered 13 points, only 7 points behind the Magic.

"After just one quarter, the Lakers came alive and the suspense of the game was back.

This game was ups and downs, like riding a roller coaster.

The Magic can blast the Lakers with 19 points in the second quarter, and they can return the Lakers with 13 points in the third quarter.

This game is even more dreamy than Disneyland in Orlando. ’ explained Mike Breen.

……

The game restarted.

From the first minute of the fourth quarter, the Lakers used powerful offensive firepower to break the Magic's illusion of winning.

Curry started with a three-pointer and continued the Lakers' three-point rain.

Billups was crushed by Hardaway in the first three quarters. Facing the 183cm Darrell Armstrong, he directly used his body to force him to score 2+1! !
The point difference between the two sides instantly became only 1 point.

Next, the Lakers' offensive firepower is still rising.

That's right, the Lakers' offensive firepower still has room for improvement.

Kobe led the team and it was crazy.

Without shooting a three-pointer, Kobe went inside, shot from the middle distance, and easily scored points.

At this time, the weakness of the Magic's physical talent was completely exposed.

In other words, in the past three years, the Magic has been caught in waves of injuries. Hardaway has moved twice just because of left leg surgery.

The other players also had a lot of color on them.

In the fourth quarter, the Magic had serious physical problems, and the Lakers stepped up their physical confrontation.

The Magic are visible to the naked eye and are crushed by the Lakers in terms of physical talent.

First of all, it was Hardaway who had a problem. His shooting touch cooled down and he began to enter the iron show.

Then, Hardaway lost his shot, and his breakthrough was no longer sharp.

Without physical support, the offense woven by omnipotent technology has become omnipotent.

As a result, the Magic's organizational passing problem arose, and Chuck Daly wanted to use Darrell Armstrong to solve the problem.

However, his shooting touch was also exhausted in the second quarter, and he could only blindly hit the basket.

Big Ben's raid made his impact style of play come back to nothing.

When Michael Doriak stopped convulsing, Hardaway lost his shot, and the Magic's offensive system immediately collapsed.

Compared with defense, the Magic can't beat the Lakers at all. They can only bet on offense, betting that the Magic can return to a good state in the second quarter.

As a result, the second quarter was fine, and I can't go back now.

In other words, the offensive firepower of role players is even more explosive than Kobe and O'Neal. How can this super god state last?
On the court, the situation began to lean towards the Lakers.

Li Mu took advantage of the victory and pursued. Seeing that O'Neal had enough rest, he changed to the game again.

Then, tragedy struck.

42 to 21! !
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers played an incredible single-quarter score and knocked the Magic back into the dust.

The magic that was seen as a flaw has no longer the original magic.

hum~~
With the scoreboard, the buzzer sounded, and the game time was over.

With a score of 122 to 107, the Lakers beat the Magic by 15 points and completed a reversal of 22 points, extending the winning streak to 26 games.

Four Lakers scored in double figures.

O'Neal's offensive firepower was fully fired, with 31 points, 15 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 steals.

科比表现更炸烈，统治攻守两端，轰下了38分6篮板3助攻2抢断2盖帽。

Not to mention that the offense stole the limelight from everyone, he was still on the defensive. The defensive Nick Anderson made 14 of 2 shots and scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

How can it be a tragic word!
Hardaway scored 29 points, two surprise players, Darrell Armstrong scored 17 points and 9 assists, Michael Doriak scored 27 points and 7 rebounds, still failed to bring victory to the Magic, but it was a heart attack defeat.
