Chapter 371
"In the third quarter, O'Neal's early appearance allowed the Lakers to restore order on the court. The Lakers players have become accustomed to playing around O'Neal. Horry and Fox hum around and protect the law, and Kobe and Fisher look for opportunities to shoot from the outside. "

"The Lakers were beaten 13:24 in the second quarter and only scored 13 points in a single quarter. This is another embarrassing score for the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals of the playoffs, just like the Warriors beat 20 points in the first quarter of the previous game. Like leading by points, it is very, very exaggerated."

"Phil Jackson's brows were tightly frowned. Although the Warriors' offensive wave was suppressed with O'Neal's return to the court in the third quarter, the hidden dangers for the Lakers have just begun."

"After all, O'Neal had 4 fouls in the third quarter, which was very difficult for the fourth quarter of the decisive battle. Phil Jackson made a decisive decision and replaced the Sharks with Samaki Walker. Relying on Kobe's performance, The Lakers scored 28:22 in the third quarter and won by 6 points in a single quarter."

"The Lakers enter the fourth quarter with a one-point lead, 1:74."

"As the playoffs between the Lakers and the Warriors progress, the scores of the two sides are getting lower and lower. Obviously, this has reached the moment when no one can afford to lose. In the playoffs, it is obvious that the defense is stronger than anyone else's. It's time."

"Within less than 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, Lakers coach Phil Jackson had to add a timeout. Without O'Neal, the Lakers inside could not withstand the impact of the Warriors' Yao Gasol. Yao's height Too high, Gasol's inside attack is changeable, Samaki Walker and Robert Horry are not tall enough, and they can't prevent the changing rhythm of the Warriors at all."

"After O'Neal was replaced, the Lakers really changed their look immediately. The defense and offense seemed to be in order, but the Sharks, who had 4 fouls, instantly became the target of the Warriors' fire. Everyone took the ball and just irrationally attacked O'Neal."

"The Sharks have never been so despised, but the 30-year-old O'Neal has rich experience and will not shoot indiscriminately like a young boy. He knows that this is the Western Conference Finals of the playoffs. The curse of fouling is the same for everyone. of."

"Dayao takes the ball and sticks to O'Neal. No matter what, O'Neal will not back down with this kind of ball. He bears the title of the No. 2 center in the NBA. He will never let any center score easily in front of him, let alone This year's No. 26 pick in the NBA draft, Yao Ming with a height of [-] meters."

"After all, too many news media and pundits are advocating that O'Neill's Shark dynasty is coming to an end. More and more people are not optimistic that O'Neill can maintain his peak state for a long time after the age of 30. With such a large tonnage and height, Even the executives and owners of the Lakers have not spoken out and made a happy promise."

"O'Neal doesn't care if you are the No. [-] pick in the NBA draft or whoever it is. Following Yao Ming is to stretch out your hand in front of your face. Yao Ming leans back and barely throws the ball in a very difficult situation."

"Whistle, foul, the goal is valid, and a penalty is added. The referee awarded O'Neill a defensive foul."

"This is a hornet's nest. The furious big shark ran away on the spot, rushed over and roared around the referee. The referee on duty explained a few words impatiently. Robert Horry of the Lakers quickly came up to hold O'Neal, and then fought The referee is entangled, and if it fails, additional penalties will be imposed, whether it is a T or something, it is absolutely unbearable for the current Lakers."

"O'Neal, who was still chattering there, watched Yao Ming make free throws steadily. In the fourth quarter, both sides' shooting percentages were very low, and the score rose very slowly."

"Shaquille O'Neal, who lost face, turned around and asked for the ball with his back in the frontcourt. A black player like him absolutely has no such thing as an overnight feud. He just returned it immediately. The Lakers player dare not give him the ball. Game In the end, he will definitely be held in the lounge by O'Neill to communicate well."

"The little fish, Derek Fisher, took the ball to the front court, and quickly passed the ball to the dissatisfied O'Neal. At this time, don't provoke the big shark who is in a rage. Everyone knows this ball. He must You have to play alone."

"Yao Ming resisted the manic O'Neal. After the big shark got the ball, he slammed backwards twice in a row. The force was so strong that people were shocked. Even Yao, who had gained weight infinitely, was knocked back with grinning teeth."

"If it was O'Neal in his young and vigorous period, he would definitely choose to turn around and dunk the ball. It doesn't matter to him whether he is near or far from the basket. His bounce, his stagnation and his strength can make up for it. Everything is lacking."

"But now O'Neal, even in the rage, still maintains a certain calmness. After he hits the space, he still chooses his best half-turn hook under the basket. His shooting rate in the paint area has always been 90%. above."

"The Warriors' defense came a step too late. Under O'Neal's precise calculation, the basketball fell steadily into the basket. O'Neal yelled triumphantly, hammered his chest hard with his fist, and jumped towards his own goal. Run at halftime."

"For an emotional player like O'Neal, his emotions and anger definitely cannot be displayed. Whether he is happy or unhappy is completely written on his face. A player with 5 fouls should not play like this. After all, he is very important to the Lakers. Say, it's very important."

"The Warriors attacked. No. 33 Grant Hill was replaced on the field. He held the ball and rushed to the Lakers teenager Kobe who was defending him. Hill, who rushed all the way to the inside, ran to O'Neal's side."

"Behind him was Kobe closely following, and in front of him was O'Neal with his hands raised high. Hill didn't slow down, and still rushed at high speed, took off, and moved forward."

"The rim followed Kobe and O'Neal who jumped up and blocked all the angles and directions of Hill's layup, but the Hill man made a circle behind the rim, went around O'Neal under the backboard, and dribbled the ball back with a backhand. The limit of hitting the board is where the big loop in the air wipes the board.”

"I have to say that this action is 99% similar to the action of the basketball god Jordan and Joe's leader. cover."

"The ball went into the whistle, and the referee whistled another foul. Look at the direction of the hand gesture. This time, the Lakers O'Neal was called for a foul. Kobe quickly stretched out his hand to indicate that it was his foul. Although he also had 4 fouls on his back, O'Neal had 5 fouls." , must not let the foul fall on him."

"O'Neill held his head in his hands in frustration, shaking his head, unable to accept the penalty, but the referee was very firm and had no intention of changing the penalty at all."

"O'Neal was sent off on the spot by 6 fouls, and the Lakers fans were in an uproar. At the critical moment, the Lakers' most important inside core pillar, Shark, was off the field."
