I'm really good at shooting.

On the Lakers side, there was no response.

Harris has been an assistant coach for Nelson for so many years, so of course he is very aware of Nelson's temper.

Either the Warriors' inside line was defeated first, or the Lakers' outside defense collapsed first.

It depends on who can bear it more!

The Lakers had possession of the ball, and Sun Hao took control of the ball to the frontcourt and continued to hang the ball to Yao Ming.

The same low-post tactics, but different from the previous two rounds, after Sun Hao gave the ball, he no longer simply stood on the outside to create space, but cooperated with Carter on the three-point line.

The purpose of this cooperation is not to score, but to contain the Warriors' defense.

The defense rotation of Death Five is fast, but Sun Hao has not only experienced it himself, but he has encountered similar ones when he was still in the Mavericks.

Well, the Spurs' defense rotation is also historical.

So he also knows how to break this way.

The Warriors saw that Sun Hao moved, and the defense on the strong side did not dare to move. Carter, who was holding the ball, gave the ball to the weak side.

Ever since, the classic that fans are most familiar with came:

The strong side turns to the weak side, and the weak side plays a triangle!

Millsap, Butler and Yao Ming formed a new triangle.

Millsap hoisted the ball into Yao Ming, and Yao Ming continued to hit the basket!

At this time, Durant couldn't get back to the basket, and after Yao Ming made two hard shots in a row, he pushed the ball directly into the basket through Ibaka!

"Oh!"

The muffled sound of the basketball hitting the hoop is clearly audible.

The scene was silent, followed by overwhelming cheers.

This is really beating Ibaka as a younger brother!

Moreover, Ibaka tried to block the ball, but the difference in size between the two was a bit too much, and he was directly knocked out of the baseline.

After being hit, his expression was very helpless, but he couldn't lose his temper at all.

Because the old Nelson's reaction just now let him know that he has no other choice but to fight to the end.

So he can only endure such a round, because...he can't apply to end by himself!

Ibaka endured it, but his mentality fluctuated a lot after these few rounds.

When the Warriors played tactical cooperation in the frontcourt, he didn't dare to take the ball when he got the ball from the outside!

"Vote! Vote!"

Curry yelled while watching this scene, just like Curry yelled Draymond Green in history.

Ibaka finally voted, but obviously missed.

"when!"

The basketball hit the basket and Yao Ming received another defensive rebound.

The Lakers defended once again successfully!

The cheers on the scene broke out again.

"Baby, that's it! That's it!"

On the other side of the commentary, O'Neill shouted excitedly, like a shark sprinting.

"Shaq, you're going to lose."

Barkley felt a little wrong seeing O'Neal's excited look, because the Lakers would win if they continued to play like this, and he would win!

"That doesn't matter, Charles!"

O'Neill disagreed.

Yes, in his opinion, the fact that the Lakers are clearly beating the Warriors this time proves that a big ball is better than a small ball, and that a center is the answer to basketball!

Under this premise, any bet is not worth mentioning to him.

Seeing O'Neill's reaction, Barkley suddenly became a little dull at this time.

Because the interesting thing about betting is that both parties care about it!

Now that O'Neill looks like this, he feels like he's betting on loneliness!

And more importantly, he was very aggrieved by the bet he lost before. Does this mean that he can never win back?

On the field, Yao Ming was still hammering Ibaka.

Ibaka really tasted the most painful experience since entering the league this time.

It was another turning hook that he couldn't resist, and he almost lost the desire to block the shot this time.

Because he knew that he couldn't cover it at all, and at most he would pay a foul!

When Old Nelson saw this, he actually had an answer to the situation on the field in his heart.

He turned and called Oden off the bench and replaced Danny Green with him.

This move meant that Old Nelson had given up on the "Five Dead"!

The moment Oden got up, the cheers of the Staples Center had already resounded through the sky.

Although the game is not yet over, the old Nelson's move actually means that the ball has lost!

Facts have proved that, facing a center forward of Yao Ming's level, the disadvantages of small ball tactics on the defensive end are more unbearable for the team than the advantages on the offensive end!

In the last few minutes, the Warriors showed their strength and were on par with the Lakers.

But Nelson's previous prediction was also correct. The most the Warriors can do with the regular lineup is to maintain the point difference, and they can't do it if they want to chase points.

With 30 minutes left before the end of the game, the Lakers still maintained a double-digit point difference.

At this time, there was no suspense about the outcome, and Old Nelson took the initiative to replace the main players, announcing the end of the game in advance.

The cheers at Staples Center were deafening.

In the end, they won the Christmas battle!

The last laugh is their big ball!

"The Lakers! The Lakers!"

The fans began to shout the name of the Lakers in unison, as if the Lakers kept the basketball dream in many people's hearts!

But it is true.

Although the small ball is an irreversible development, people are nostalgic. Many fans still like the kind of basketball where the inside and outside lines cooperate with each other to play positions.

The Lakers' victory tonight is to keep the basketball dream in their hearts!

But the happiest person at the moment is still O'Neill in the commentary booth.

"Big Shark" is already dancing and dancing at the commentary booth to celebrate.

The appearance of Barkley on the sidelines is also very interesting. He obviously won the bet, but at this time he looks like a loser, and he can only watch O'Neal laughing there.

After all, he still can't escape O'Neill's sanctions against him!

After the last 30 seconds, the score on the court was fixed at 121 to 110. The Lakers finally won the Warriors by 11 points.

I won't win much, but I won thoroughly!

In terms of technical statistics, Durant scored the most points on the Warriors side, scoring a game-high 41 points and 11 rebounds!

He played an MVP-level performance, and it is his performance that keeps the Warriors a possibility of winning.

In addition to Durant, Curry had 21 points, Thompson had 17 points, Ibaka had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and Oden had 7 points and 7 rebounds.

For the Lakers, Sun Hao had 27 points and 6 assists, Yao Ming had 35 points and 16 rebounds!

If the game is not clear enough, then the statistics after the game are the best interpretation.

In a nutshell: Yao Ming exploded the inside of the Warriors!

Leuer's "the grave of the center" turned out to be just a joke, because tonight it was Yao Ming who hit the ball into the "grave"!

A vigorous Christmas game, media reports and fans' discussions after the game reached a new peak since the start of the season.

For nothing else, just because of the discussion about the big ball and the small ball, after this game, there was finally a tentative conclusion.

That is, before super centers like O'Neal and Yao Ming withered, small ball tactics still could not shake the status of traditional basketball!

Some fans even began to hypothesize that if it was the Wizards instead of the Knicks who reached the finals before, then the Warriors may not necessarily be able to reign!

Well, history is always strikingly similar, and such assumptions will never disappear.

Of course, a game is just a game after all, and no matter how lively the fans are, they will only be happy for a while.

Because when there is a definite answer to this question at the end, it must be when the final championship of the league emerges.

A series, or the answer to a playoff, will be the "ultimate answer" to this question.

The Christmas game came to an end, and the fans' attention shifted from the arena to TNT's live broadcast room.

Although O'Neal didn't care, Barkley won the bet in the end.

So in the end O'Neill still has to be "punished" after his failure.

Of course, just like when Barkley kissed the donkey's ass, it was a bit too embarrassing for you to let O'Neill hold back his laughter for the whole game, so the final punishment was only 5 minutes.

In 5 minutes, Barkley can use any non-physical contact method to make O'Neill laugh, and if O'Neill persists in the end, he will win.

Then, the fans saw the funniest 5 minutes.

Buckley's bad jokes, Buckley's dancing, Buckley's impersonations, and even Buckley's dresses!

In order to restore the dignity he lost before, Barkley can be said to have tried his best.

But O'Neill held back. Although he wanted to laugh, his eyes were round and round, like a ruthless, cold-blooded shark.

So in the end, Barkley seems to have won or lost!

When this episode of TNT's program also came to an end, the topic of big balls and small balls finally came to an end.

The next thing fans pay attention to is the upcoming All-Star Game.

This year's Western Conference teams are highly competitive, and the competition for All-Star spots is also fierce.

Especially in the backcourt, both Sun Hao and Kobe were unshakable for thousands of years, but this year, Curry began to pry Kobe's seal.

The results of the first round of voting came out, and Curry was right behind Sun Hao, beating Kobe to the second guard position.

Although it is only the first round of ballots, this is the first time in so many years.

According to the words of the fans: No way, who called Curry the "big nephew"!

They are used to seeing Peter Pan's mamba style, and they also want to see Curry's "Little Sun" performance!

And the results of the first round of voting give people a feeling of vitality.

West: Curry, Sun Hao, Durant, Griffin, Yao Ming.

East: Harden, Wade, James, Anthony, Yi Jianlian.

Curry, Griffin and Harden all appeared in the starting list for the first time!

Especially Curry and Harden, their growth trajectories are obviously different from those in history.

Now that the two of them got a big contract together and entered the starting lineup together, they are destined to become enemies for life!

When the time came to January, after the Lakers experienced the turmoil at the beginning of the season, the Lakers began to really get on the right track.

"All hardships come to an end" is the perfect way to describe the Lakers at this time.

After Yao Ming went through the injury recovery period, relying on his outstanding perseverance, his weight has gradually returned to normal, and his performance has also stabilized.

Although it is a bit unrealistic to return to the dominant offensive and defensive performance at both ends of the peak due to age, it is still the strength of the league's number one center.

Well, it's a bit like the feeling at the end of O'Neal's peak.

Then there is the tactical system of the Lakers. The Lakers won the Christmas game, and the Lakers also found a "new triangle tactic" that suits them. Play the triangle with the bench.

So from the coaching staff to the players, this Lakers team is ready.

And after a relatively devilish schedule at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' schedule in January is also very comfortable.
