Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 254 Running and Bombing
The words were halfway through, and Wang Dazhi seemed to have some concerns.

Delmar Harris: "Say what you really think DZ, you can put forward any opinion."

The battle is imminent, and Delmar Harris must understand the truest thoughts of these two big men.

Wang Dazhi: "I think when we are against the Rockets, we should let Shaq play singles most of the time, and we can try to run and gun the rest of the time!"

Want to play run and gun on a team with Shaquille O'Neal!No wonder Wang Dazhi didn't finish his sentence directly.

This topic is indeed very sensitive, so sensitive that Delmar Harris didn't dare to express his opinion first. He looked at Shaq as if asking for his opinion.

Shaquille O'Neal: "You're gambling, DZ!"

Wang Dazhi played an irreplaceable role in the series against the Utah Jazz, and he accurately predicted the entire process of the Houston Rockets defeating the Seattle Supersonics, which gave Wang Dazhi a special place in Shaquille O'Neal's heart A qualitative leap has been made.

But when Wang Dazhi said this idea, Shaquille O'Neal was still a little displeased.

Once the team starts running, he can only be reduced to a spectator on the field.

Having said this, Wang Dazhi can no longer hide it, so let's say something.

Wang Dazhi: "You seem to be right, if we really do this, it is indeed a gamble.

We won the Utah Jazz, but Karl Malone's wrist injury was the root cause of our victory. We can't expect another injury in the opposing core lineup in this round of the series!After all, such good luck is only a small probability event!

Even though we played a [-]-[-] with the Rockets in the regular season, judging from the ability we showed in the playoffs, we still have no advantage when facing the Rockets, where everyone can score.

These old guys have just played a tiebreaker series, and we have been fully rested. If we give them a few sets of anaerobic switchbacks at the beginning of the game, they will not find it all game Rhythm.

At that time, you can do whatever you want inside! "

In fact, as the fourth in the Western Conference, the objective strength of the Los Angeles Lakers is indeed not as good as the Rockets. If they want to reach the finals with an upset, they have to take risks.

Shaquille O'Neal: "We can try one quarter first. If this strategy doesn't work, I will take over the game for the next time."

The little things that happened these days made Shaquille O'Neal think that he should give Wang Dazhi this face, and he was willing to take a gamble.

Delmar Harris: "Your theory sounds fine, but we have been playing positional warfare around Shaq all season, and we may not be able to play the run and gun you said."

Delmar Harris' concerns are not unreasonable. The tactical system that has been running has suddenly switched to another extreme mode. It is still unknown whether the Lakers players can adapt.

Wang Dazhi: "Kobe and I can definitely bring the rhythm up!"

Wang Dazhi definitely relied on the plan he dared to put forward, but such a sentence also caused waves in Shaquille O'Neal's heart.

Wang Dazhi was mentally prepared for how his words would make Shaq think of him.

The Sharks, who are not so open-minded, will definitely have a grudge against Wang Dazhi in this matter, but in order to win, Wang Dazhi doesn't care so much.

Shaquille O'Neal, who was extremely eager for the championship, also forcibly suppressed the jealousy in his heart. When he became famous, he had enough capital to play Gongdou.

Delmar Harris: "Then let's try."

After thinking for a while, Delmar Harris still supported Wang Dazhi's point of view.

On May 1997, 5, the Western Conference Finals officially started!

The Compaq Center, home of the Houston Rockets, was full early on, which was an unimaginable scene during the regular season.

The fans at the Compaq Center were enthusiastic, but the Rockets players were exhausted. After all, they had just gone through a series that lasted to the last minute of the tiebreaker, and only had less than 1 hours of rest. Anyone would be exhausted.

TNT's commentary team also began to warm up the stage.

Magic Johnson: "There is no Utah Jazz in the Western Conference finals! If a month ago, I would not have imagined such a thing!

But today such a thing did happen in front of everyone's eyes!This is really incredible!
After the upset in the last round of the series, many people are now more optimistic about the prospects of the Los Angeles Lakers. What do you think of this matter? "

Can see the emergence of the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, which makes Magic Johnson extremely gratified.

Wilt Chamberlain: "The playoffs are a battlefield that requires experience. The Big Three of the Rockets are all seasoned veterans. They know how to play to their strengths and how to avoid their weaknesses.

Although the Lakers eliminated the Jazz, Karl Malone's injury was the key turning point in this round of the series.

If this does not happen, I am still more optimistic about the Rockets. The Rockets are undoubtedly a more comprehensive team. "

It's time for the game prediction session that the audience loves to hear. Wilt Chamberlain's thinking is fine. Most people think that the Rockets have a better chance of winning.

Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "Dameng is one of the few centers who don't need to go forward to defend Shaq. In the Western Conference Finals, Shaq will face the strongest challenge in the playoffs.

And Charles Barkley also showed a very good competitive state in the confrontation with Sean Kemp. Facing Charles Barkley in the playoff mode, Wang Dazhi may not be able to take advantage of it.

In fact, the inside combination of Shaq and DZ is already very strong, but if compared with the Houston Twin Towers, the Lakers' double height is still slightly inferior.

The Rockets not only have an inside advantage, but they also have Drexler who can contribute [-] points in the playoffs. Even though the glider does not often take off now, his mid-range and long-range shooting can still bring the Rockets stable output.

I also like the Rockets more. "

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's forecast is the same as Wilt Chamberlain's. No matter how you look at it, the Houston Rockets are stronger.

Magic Johnson: "It seems that the three of us have similar opinions. The Los Angeles Lakers are once again in a position that no one is optimistic about! But I believe the Lakers are used to this situation!
In fact, the predictions of us bystanders can't affect the trend of the game at all. What the series can look like depends on the performance of the players! "
