Chapter 118

Slightly bent his knees and jumped up lightly. With a height of 221cm, his release point was high, and he even added a little back.

O'Neill jumped out from the basket, but his excessive weight slowed him down, and he was just a paper tiger for a show. He could only rely on his bluffing momentum to put more psychological pressure on the attacking opponent.

The rhythm of Ilgauskas' shot is very smooth, the basketball is pulled away from the fingers, and a high arc is drawn in the air.

There was a crisp sound of wiping the net, and the basketball fell into the basket with precision.

Two-point mid-range hit, 9 to 6! !
Landing, Ilgauskas clenched his fists and cheered for his goal. Although he knew that he was no match for a center of O'Neal's level, he would still work hard to defend and score as much as possible. Shoot more and do your job well.

The Lakers were attacking, and Gary Payton was still not in a hurry. He dribbled the ball halfway, passed the ball to Kobe, and opened up space for himself to stand outside the three-point line.

Kobe caught the ball and faced Lin Bai's defense, posing in a three-threat posture. Lin Bai lowered his center of gravity, with his hands one up and one down, shooting a standard defensive posture, letting Kobe one step away, and not letting go.

Kobe took a step and suddenly jumped up. Lin Bai quickly fought to interfere with the shot as much as possible.

Kobe's body was stretched in the air, and the height of his jump had not yet reached the highest point, and he immediately smashed the basketball into the inside with rapid speed.

O'Neal caught the ball from the basket, squeezed Ilgauskas directly, turned around and hooked, and threw the basketball into the basket.

O'Neal's shot was very fast, even a little hasty. It seemed that he wanted to catch the opponent by surprise, but his touch was very stiff, and the basketball spun around the basket and flew out.

O'Neal pressed Ilgauskas, jumped up, and without waiting for the landing, he took off the board, shook his hand, and made a supplementary shot. The basketball hit the top, but still missed, the basketball missed again, O'Neal jumped again, and squeezed again. Drive Ilgauskas, strong rebound.

Boozer on the right and Ilgauskas in the middle offered a double-team.

O'Neal slammed the ball behind his back and rushed to Gary Payton under the basket, catching the ball and jumping up to pick the basket directly.

Easily put the basketball in the hoop, 9 to 8! !
O'Neal is overwhelming at the basket, the inside area is like his back garden, and the basketball is like a small toy in his hand. It is difficult for the powerful O'Neal to control the power of his shots, and his shooting percentage will naturally be high.

However, in his old school, O'Neal can still dominate the basket in a way different from scoring.

For the Cavaliers, although Boozer missed a mid-range shot in the next round, he also used the shrinking inside line to give the Lakers a tough defense, allowing Devin George, who was on the three-point line from the left corner, to make a shot in front of Esther. On the defense of Erke Williams, he made a three-point shot.

Boozer served from the bottom line, James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he did not choose singles, but calmly organized support.

On the right side, Lin Bai changed sides to attack, Boozer understood it, mentioned the side, and the screen helped Lin Bai get rid of the defense. Go around people to chase and defend.

Medvedenko actively supplemented the defense, Lin Bai ran back and moved from the side to the middle.

When James was running in Lin Bai, he had a wide field of vision. Instead of standing still, he held the ball in the middle, moved a step sideways, shortened his body, accelerated the dribble and broke through to the right. After driving Gary Payton's defensive center of gravity, he immediately , stepped down and retreated to dribble, hooked the ball with his right hand, and passed the basketball to the middle with his back to the ground.

James took advantage of the opportunity to use his body as a wall to block Medvedenko's forward route. Gary Payton rushed to James' side because James passed the ball behind his back, which was relatively concealed and he couldn't see the basketball clearly.

The top arc of the middle road was outside the three-point line on the right wing. Lin Bai arrived at the ball, stretched out his hand, pulled the basketball back, dribbled an adjustment movement, caught the ball, and jumped up directly.

The body is very stretched in the air, and the long body blooms calmly in the air. This is an open three-point shot made through two pick-and-roll cooperation.

眼帘划过一系列的手感命中数字，67…53…75…63…56……

From catching the ball, adjusting, jumping up, and shooting, Lin Bai's whole movements are relatively smooth, flowing like clouds and water, without any unnecessary movements.

When the number 75 jumped out, he immediately pulled the basketball out of his fingertips.

Basketball is like a cannonball, drawing a wonderful arc.

With a clear sound, the basketball fell into the net accurately, and the white net flowers splashed, forming a white water splash.

The three-pointer went through the needle, and the goal was scored, 12 to 8! !
Landing, Lin Bai clenched his fists, returned to defense and gave James and Boozer high-fives respectively.

At this time, seeing Lin Bai's smile after scoring a three-pointer, Kobe's face turned cold.

He didn't work hard before, not because of Kobe's poor condition, but because of the tactics of the Lakers.

O'Neal is the Lakers' big killer. In all fairness, it's not too much to be called the league's number one killer.

As long as basketball is in the hands of O'Neal, it is a huge threat.It's just that O'Neill, nicknamed "Big Shark", is slowly being called "O'Fat".

Although O'Neal's deterrent power is still one of the best, but physical fitness is a problem, and he has just returned from injury, so it is not suitable for playing for too long.

If Kobe increases the number of shots, even if he can score, it will not make the Lakers' offensive efficiency better.

On the contrary, if O'Neal didn't have the ball in his hand and ran back and forth, O'Neal's offensive firepower would definitely be wasted in vain.

If the postman Malone doesn't have a knee injury and can play, it's fine. You must know that the Lakers' "F4" organization is a star with both offense and defense. It's easy to win the game no matter how you play. Naturally, there is no such thing as wasting firepower.

However, the current situation is that Malone's offensive firepower is gone, and O'Neal's point is also greatly reduced. If you don't make good use of it, how can you win the game?

Therefore, Kobe played more restrained in the first quarter, and the front fire was just to remind the opponent that Kobe was very threatening, so that the opponent did not dare to easily recruit O'Neal, that's all.

Besides, Kobe was originally an iron man, and he had to lead the offense off the bench in the second quarter. Naturally, he had a lot of shots. It seemed very unwise to fight for the ball with O'Neal in the first quarter.

However, Kobe can't control so much now. Playing basketball is not arithmetic, and momentum is also very important.

Kobe knew in his heart that he couldn't let Lin Bai, a rookie in front of him, jump any longer. He wanted to teach Lin Bai how to be a man with his ball skills!

Making up his mind, Gary Payton dribbled the ball across half court, and Kobe reached out for the ball directly outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left wing.

Seeing Kobe's icy face, Gary Payton was heartbroken and said with a smile: Kobe is going to go crazy, it seems that someone is going to be unlucky!
Gary Payton immediately hit the ground and passed the ball, and there was a clear sound of hitting the floor, and the basketball was accurately delivered to Kobe's hands.

Gary Payton took the initiative to pull the space, and stood aside with great interest, ready to appreciate someone's misfortune...
