I'm really good at shooting.

Last season, he was angry with the Magic for more singles, but it turned out that he practiced this skill.

Compared with Kobe's fallback, McGrady's is more elegant and has a higher release point.

"Shh!"

McGrady's turning and leaning back also entered!

Peak Mai is a little puzzled.

16:13.

The point difference is still 3 points!

Fans in Los Angeles looked a little excited.

Tickets for this game are worth it.

Sun Hao greeted O'Neal's pick-and-roll again.

This time Yao Ming retreated early, and Sun Hao's layup was interfered by him and missed.

But in order to interfere with Sun Hao, Yao Ming made a thorough attack.

After the ball bounced out of the frame, O'Neal kicked into the air from the basket, switched to his own Lu with his hips in the air, and dunked the ball directly into the basket!

Poor Lu, after enduring the humiliation of Sun Hao and Iverson, he will suffer from O'Neal.

What a tragic fate!

However, the fans at the scene were already overjoyed.

Tonight's O'Neal regards the inside of the Wizards as his own Pacific Ocean, overturning the river and doing whatever he wants!

Chapter 363 Isn't this more fragrant than Kobe?

After the dunk, O'Neal glanced at Lu, who was sitting on the ground, and stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground.

Unlike Sun Hao Iverson, Lu played for the Lakers before, and he was also his former teammate, and he was a person who made great contributions to the Lakers' consecutive championships.

This is also different for everyone.

After seeing this scene, Sun Hao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It is really lucky to have someone like O'Neal as a team member.

If only Kobe could realize this earlier in history, that would be great.

The game is still going on.

Sun Hao gave O'Neal a high degree of fit in his style of play, coupled with the innate tacit understanding, the Lakers' offense is pleasing to the eye.

Just after reading this paragraph, fans can conclude that Phil Jackson has found a third team suitable for the triangle offense.

However, the Lakers have not been able to open the score.

In addition to the Wizards' own strength is not weak, the Lakers also exposed a fatal weakness in the game.

Their current defense is a bit poor.

After the first few rounds alone, the Lakers have been beaten into three defensive counterattacks by the Wizards.

O'Neill gained weight and began to be unable to keep up with the retreating defense. Although Horry lost weight, the speed decline brought about by age was unavoidable.

In addition, Howard is also getting old, and the help defense is not very good.

Even Sun Hao is not good at defense.

In other words, Finley is the only one the Lakers can really defend against.

However, Finley's defense is the average level of the league, and the person he defends is McGrady, so he has almost no ability to help defend others.

So the Lakers' poor defense is completely expected.

But the offense covered up this problem. Although they couldn't open the score, they still had the advantage.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Lakers led by 105 points 95-10.

There are not many leaders, but if we continue to play at this pace, the team has a great hope of winning.

Sun Hao, then give the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal has scored 39 points and 16 rebounds so far, and the explosion is not enough to describe his performance.

But Sun Hao felt that it was not enough.

After all, Kobe got 40+!

But at the moment when O'Neal took the ball, LaFrentz rushed forward and hugged O'Neal as if seeing a young girl.

The referee blew his whistle to signal LaFrentz's defensive foul!

Because the number of fouls by the Wizards had reached, O'Neal was sent directly to the free throw line.

Sun Hao, don't be too familiar with this.

The fans at the scene were obviously familiar enough, and they immediately booed.

The slashing tactic was invented by Auerbach in the 90s. At that time, his target was "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain.

And there is an interesting little story about this tactic.

Chamberlain was already an enemy in the NCAA period, and at that time opponents knew that he was not good at free throws, so they often fouled him.

To solve this problem, Chamberlain chose to... dunk on free throws!

Well, that's right, it's what you think, rushing up and dunking free throws...

Don't be surprised, in that era, this rule was allowed.

Ever since, NCAA fans can see Chamberlain perform that magical or even "miraculous" free throw method several times a night.

Afterwards, NCAA opponents felt that this was cheating. At the request of the United, the NCAA changed the free throw rules and did not allow free throws to be dunked from the free throw line.

In the new century, O'Neal, who also has an epic body and talent, appeared, and his free throws were also poor.

Old Nelson, a disciple of Auerbach and the mentor of O'Neill's dream team, took out the hacking tactics again.

Because O'Neal's nickname is the big shark, this tactic is also called the shark-cutting tactic.

When Sun Hao played for the Mavericks before, the Mavericks used this to deal with O'Neal.

At that time, he also went to cut O'Neal as an over-cut person.

Now he's in the Lakers, and he's teammates with O'Neal, and it turns out...

Well, the way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the heaven spare.

O'Neal was sent to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.

"Shaq's free throws are as consistent as Sun's [-]s."

In the commentary, Barkley was merciless.

After the Wizards grabbed the defensive rebound, they continued to catch the Lakers' slow defense, and Nelson scored a goal on a fast break.

Van Gundy let Lu start to defend against Sun Hao, but the effect was not ideal. Sun Hao and Iverson are not the same type of players.

Nelson seized the opportunity. Although the defense was not very good, he played very well on the offensive end. He has already scored 8 points and 3 assists.

At this time, a certain basketball god in front of the TV showed a happy smile again.

He has already decided that when Sun Hao retires, he will probably be the owner of the team at that time, and he must invite Sun Hao to his team as the president of operations.

The Lakers had the ball. This time before Sun Hao pushed the ball into the frontcourt, O'Neal...was fouled again.

Sun Hao couldn't help shaking his head when he gave the ball out.

To say that Auerbach cut Chamberlain and old Nelson cut O'Neal, the biggest difference is probably the influence.

Chamberlain was cut at that time, basically the old rival Celtics, other teams didn't do that often.

Because in that era, it was regarded as an act of weakness not to dare to go head-to-head.

Chamberlain also publicly said more than once that Auerbach is a villain and only uses some tricks to win.

Even in some games, Chamberlain didn't even play the game to protest.

Then when it came to O'Neal, the old Nelson carried forward this tactic, and then the whole league began to use it.

As Nelson's former assistant coach, Van Gundy naturally has experience.

After being sent to the free throw line again, O'Neal took a few deep breaths to adjust his breathing.

However...it was of no use.

It was another solid two free throws, and even in order to avoid using too much force on the second ball, he directly made a three-point free throw.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Phil Jackson got up and called a timeout.

"Think about what is written in those books, relax your muscles, imagine that you are under a tree full of shade, and you are just meditating."

After the timeout, Jackson did not arrange any tactics, but pulled O'Neal to talk.

He was trying to get O'Neal to relax so he could make those free throws.

That's what has the biggest impact on the situation on the court.

O'Neill nodded as he listened, but judging from his looking left and right, he probably... didn't read the book the Zen master gave him.

Thinking about it, that's too normal, that kind of book is hard for Sun Hao to read, O'Neill... Maybe he would rather choose to lose weight!

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, O'Neill turned to look at Sun Hao, and spoke suddenly.

"Phil, let Vlad replace me."

Jackson was stunned for a while, then saw O'Neill look at Sun Hao again, he understood what the latter meant, and then nodded.

"Win this game."

After speaking, O'Neill walked to Sun Hao with a smile, patted Sun Hao on the shoulder and said.

Sun Hao also had no idea.

When he was still in the Mavericks before, Jackson would not replace O'Neal, and it is impossible for O'Neal to ask for that.

But now something seems to have changed.

But from O'Neill's point of view, it's too normal to do so.

He is not the kind of person who pursues statistics. If he were, it would be impossible for him to let Kobe shoot more than himself in the past few years, and it is impossible for him to average only 14 shots per game for the team last season.

You know he is still at his peak!

All he wants most is to win.

The experience of defeating Jordan but being swept by the Rockets that year was too hurt for him.

So even if 39 points are one point away and 40 or something, it is not a big deal to him.

And Sun Hao made him happy, he didn't mind leaving the outcome of the game to Sun Hao at all.

Also, he believed in Sun Hao.

Sun Hao nodded.

After the timeout, the Lakers made substitution adjustments, and Divac replaced O'Neal.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Although in theory, it is the best choice for O'Neal to replace him if he fails to score a penalty.

But that's O'Neill!

If it is not enough image, put it another way.

Would you take Jordan off the court when you needed a three-pointer because you were behind by 3 points?

The answer is obvious.

The existence of some players is beyond conventional understanding!

But now, the Lakers do just that.
