Chapter 365 Comprehensive suppression
"The Lakers changed in the second quarter. Their head coach, Phil Jackson, replaced four players in one go. Lynch Hunter, Brian Shaw, Devin George, Samaki Walker, this For Zen Master, it is a relatively big adjustment.”

"It seems that Zen Master is also very dissatisfied with the first quarter of the Lakers. Generally speaking, he will keep at least two to three main starters on the court, one by one, and at most two substitutes. Under the circumstances, let the Lakers' starting players get a chance to rest."

"The Sharks stayed on the field with four substitutes. O'Neal's rebounding and offensive support cannot be ignored by any NBA team. His defensive coverage is active and wide. It can be said that there is O'Neal's inside, and there is no O'Neal inside. It's two different levels of defensive strength."

"Few players dare to confront O'Neal head-on, especially at the basket. The only player who has successfully dunked in front of O'Neal is Derek Coleman, the No. 1990 pick of the Nets in 20. A super power forward with an average of 10+[-], if not for his character and temper, his achievements are likely to be the next Karl Malone or Barkley."

"And O'Neal's revenge was very fast. He directly smashed the basket in front of Coleman, and every time he faced Coleman after that, he scored and slaughtered wildly, so after that, again And no player dares to dunk in front of O'Neal."

"The Lakers' offense has never been able to open up. Forced by the helpless Lakers, they can only start to let outside players try long-range three-pointers. Lynch Hunter, Brian Shaw, and Devin George frequently make three-point Attack from outside the line."

"O'Neal alone represents too many things, strength, fearlessness, confrontation, toughness, just relying on his performance alone, the Lakers scored a 25:20 in the second quarter, recovering 5 points, but the two consecutive quarters O'Neill had to rest in the third quarter. After all, O'Neill is just a person. A person who needs oxygen like everyone else may be much stronger than ordinary people, but he is still a person after all, and he cannot be tired or exhausted."

"The Lakers starters who returned to the field, led by the teenager Kobe, entered the consumption stage of the third quarter. They faced the Warriors' inside line led by Uncle Mu and Pau Gasol, McGrady and Larry Hugh on the outside. Sean Battier lined up."

"Kobe's offensive methods are still a little weak. He frequently relies on his personal physical fitness to force shots. His three-pointers on the back are indeed unsolvable and cannot be blocked, but the hit rate is difficult to guarantee. In the third quarter, he alone People's scores cannot be sustained."

"In the third quarter, the Warriors easily beat the Lakers by 23:12. This score made the Lakers a little desperate. The total score was 75:52, and they were 23 points behind in three quarters. This game is really a bit impossible."

"Unwilling to lose, the Lakers can't play the fourth quarter as garbage time. Even though they know that today's chances are not great, the pride of the Shaquille O'Neal and the will to fight of the young Kobe Bryant make the Lakers' OK combination burst out. Showing infinite combat power, he crazily attacked the Warriors inside and outside in the fourth quarter."

"The Warriors deployed the twin towers in the fourth quarter, center Big Ben Wallace, and Dayao played the second center. As long as O'Neal catches the ball, he will quickly come to help defend, and the first time it is a foul. Send O'Neal to the free throw line. Big Ben With the power of the clock, it is difficult for O'Neill to get a chance to turn around and dunk."

"Shaquille O'Neal's free throws today were also very bad. He only scored 6 of 2 free throws. And the Lakers teenager Kobe has completely entered a state of rampage. He is unreasonable and forceful when he takes the ball, or he makes crazy three-pointers from the outside."

"I have to say that once the Lakers started to go crazy, even the prepared Warriors felt unprecedented pressure in the fourth quarter."

"Kobe, a young Lakers player, made an unreasonable diffraction three-pointer. Even if Bowen's hand touched his eyelashes, he couldn't stop Kobe from throwing the ball. The whistle sounded and the goal was valid, plus a free throw."

"Lenny called a timeout for the first time. This is obviously a cooling timeout. It is to cool down the Lakers' feel. Many NBA head coaches will do this. On the one hand, let their players rest and arrange tactics. More importantly, , not giving the opponent a chance to score consecutive starts.”

"After all, many NBA games have miraculous reversals when it seems absolutely hopeless. Obviously, the Warriors will not hope that their team's hard work in the first three quarters and the establishment of such a big advantage will be defeated by the opponent. Pull it back in one section."

"The Warriors changed again, and the center was replaced by No. 55 Uncle Mutombo. Big Ben and Ben Wallace have already had 5 fouls. It is not so easy to stop the Sharks. Dayao also has 5 fouls. Fouled off, in order to prevent Shaquille O'Neal, the Warriors' inside players endured extreme pressure."

"The Warriors replaced O'Neal as a power forward. He and Uncle Mu will join hands to form the Great Wall of the Warriors inside. Big Ben, Wallace and Dayao have contributed 10 fouls to stop O'Neal. The next 10 fouls will definitely not give O'Neal the opportunity to easily break into the paint."

"Kobe's short-lived three-pointer performance, under the combination of the Warriors' new force Shane Battier and Tracy McGrady, can no longer continue to be crazy. Tracy McGrady and Battier have not played for a long time in this game. They With sufficient physical reserves, the behavior of following Kobe closely and almost sticking to Kobe's body was not whistled by the referee, after all, this is the Western Conference finals of the playoffs, and this is the home of the Warriors."

"The exhausted Lakers teenager Kobe refused to leave the court even when the defeat was already decided, and he still persisted in staying on the court, taking the ball and breaking through again and again. This time he was blocked by Tracy McGrady. The ball was blocked by Battier, and he still shot without fear."

"Even the home fans of the Warriors began to cheer for Kobe. He hit the inside of the Warriors again and again, just like Achilles in Homer's epic. Even if he was hit in the ankle, he fell down on the way to charge .”

"The final score was 103:90. The Golden State Warriors beat the Los Angeles Lakers without any suspense at home. They took a 2:1 lead. The next game is the Warriors' home game. All Warriors fans are welcome to come to the Oracle Arena for the next game. Cheer for the Warriors who performed well, both sides played very hard today, and the Warriors who were more prepared had the last laugh."
