I'm really good at shooting.

As a result, although Sun Hao was still fully fired on the offensive end and scored 47 points, the Lakers still lost to the Mavericks 89-100 in the away game.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from Sun Hao, only Finley scored more than 15 points on the Lakers.

The role players of the Lakers exposed their shortcomings of insufficient autonomous offensive ability under this intensity of the game.

That is, this game made fans realize one thing: basketball games are always for five people.

Even if he is as strong as Jordan, he has been "educated" by the Pistons before meeting his Pippen.

And to be honest, the Mavericks team with Nowitzki and Kobe is no weaker than the bad boy team.

It is already a miracle that Sun Hao won the game without O'Neal in the last game.

Such things as miracles are given such names because they are extremely rare. If they are everywhere like Chinese cabbage, who would think it is a miracle?

And what more can you ask for from a player who scored 40+ back-to-back in the playoffs and scored 100 points in two games?

The good news is that O'Neal is coming back.

After getting enough rest, O'Neill's injury has improved significantly and he has met the requirements for playing.

In the offseason training sessions between three or four games, O'Neal seemed to be a rookie on the first day of an NBA game, showing extra commitment.

For a person with his personality, facing Kobe, he sat down for two games off the court, which really suffocated him a bit.

Even during the full-court confrontation training, he made a two-handed dunk across Divac.

Divac's face was full of question marks: The conflict between you OK, the final result of co-authoring is that I have to be dunked by the two of you in turn?

But Phil Jackson didn't pay attention to Divac's feelings when he saw the ball, and the joy in his heart showed on his face.

In O'Neal's state, the probability of the Lakers winning the next game is at least [-]%.

After playing Tianwangshan with the Spurs, he didn't want to return to Los Angeles with a 2-2 score.

"Shaq, I'll give you more passes."

After the training, Sun Hao said to the impatient O'Neill.

After two consecutive games of crazy output, he can finally relax a little bit.

It feels good to get a high score, but it is tiring after the fun.

This is the same thing as that.

"No, you take more shots from the outside, and I will play a check on the inside."

However, O'Neill's reaction surprised Sun Hao.

The meaning of this sentence can actually be understood as: I will help you!

This is not at all like what O'Neill would say!

Just like when the two talked about the MVP, O'Neal would only say "I think it's okay to give you the MVP", not "You should be the one who gets the MVP"!

The meaning of the two sentences is completely different!

"Don't look like that, I'm 34 years old, do you really think I can score 40 points and grab 20 rebounds every night?"

O'Neal's next words made Sun Hao even more surprised.

The two have worked together for a season now, and O'Neal has never said anything about his age.

It seems that this injury has changed his view of the game.

However, O'Neill's next words made Sun Hao understand what his transformation was.

"You know? Ever since I was swept by Hakeem in the finals that year, I told myself that I must never lose again. In order to do that, I must become strong enough to carry the team. on one's shoulders.

All these years in Los Angeles, whether it's Kobe Bryant or a kid, or after he's played, I've been doing that. I tell myself, when the kid doesn't feel good, I'm going to grab every rebound. Because I can't lose.

So even if you come to Los Angeles, I give my best every night when I play, I know everyone is waiting to see my jokes, what a stupid decision it is for a management to choose to keep a 34-year-old veteran .

But in the past two games, I found one thing, God is fair to me, he first let me meet a guy who is extremely selfish, and then let me meet a guy who is extremely selfless, and this selfless guy, Strong enough to let me go. "

Sun Hao blushed uncontrollably after hearing this.

Although it is not as direct as Malone's, but what O'Neill said is very embarrassing.

But there is nothing wrong with saying this. Any player, when he is 34 years old, will be willing to play support when he sees his teammates score 100 points in two games in the playoffs.

Although O'Neill is arrogant, he is not Kobe's kind of arrogance.

What's more, Sun Hao and Kobe gave him very different feelings, and it can even be said to be two extremes.

Kobe's strength has not yet reached that level, so he wants to compete with him for power, while Sun Hao's strength is already very strong, but he keeps passing him the ball.

Don't say he is O'Neill, even a normal person can't stand such kindness.

So in conclusion, it is really normal for O'Neill to say such a thing.

"Shaq, you can still dominate the game, you're not old."

Sun Hao said.

In fact, O'Neal's dominance at this age is still there, and his biggest problem is the hidden danger of injuries.

"Of course, how can Shaq get old, but that doesn't affect what I just said."

O'Neill, it seems, is determined to do that.

Sun Hao nodded. O'Neill has already said that. It would be inappropriate for him to say that you are leading the offense.

"Then, let's get not one, not two, not three, but four, five, six championships!"

Sun Hao went on to say what O'Neill said to him.

After hearing this, O'Neill laughed, then reached out to look at Sun Hao, and gave him a high five.

The two of them have officially reached an agreement!

That night, Game [-] of the Wizards-Pistons series took the lead at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

After the Wizards took a 2-1 lead, they took the initiative in the series. If they can make another victory in the away game, then promotion will become a high probability event.

But the Pistons obviously won't let them do so.

After a slump, Anthony recovered and scored 29 points, telling the world with his actions that he is still the ripe and sweet melon.

And the Pistons have done similar things to the Mavericks, completely cutting off the connection between other role players and Yao Mai.

As a result, despite Yao Mai and McGrady scoring 55 points together, the Wizards still lost 87 to 94.

Well, Sun Hao felt very familiar when he saw this percentage.

In those years, the Houston team coached by Van Gundy always regretted losing as many points as Yao Maihe scored, and even the role players lost with less than 20 points combined.

Van Gundy's tactical system is too dependent on the core.

Facts have proved that he is indeed lacking in this aspect, and even Hamilton is almost used by him as an ordinary role player.

With a 2-2 tie, the Wizards and Pistons are about to usher in the battle of Tianwangshan.

Jordan will not be happy with this result, but the fans are happy to hear it. You must know that they have not seen a tiebreaker since the start of the playoffs.

It would be great if there could be one or two in the conference finals for them to enjoy.

The next night, Game [-] of the Lakers-Mavericks series kicked off at the National Airlines Center.

It is worth mentioning that the training of the two teams today is fully closed and not open to the outside world.

So before the game, no one knows what the two teams have prepared for tonight's game.

This instead makes fans look forward to it even more.

The return of O'Neill and the mysterious preparations all made the game full of anticipation.

That night, the National Airline Center Arena was packed, and the fans were looking forward to it.

The East has already tied 2-2, and they naturally expect the Mavericks to make another victory at home, and also have a battle against Tianwangshan.

However, it is not as simple as the last game for the Mavericks to win tonight, because O'Neal on the Lakers side is back.

After the opening ceremony before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.

The starting lineups on both sides have basically remained unchanged compared with the previous game. The only change is that O'Neal replaced Divac and returned to the starting lineup.

Because Dampier was used by the Mavericks in the first game, this is the first time since the series that both sides have such a starting lineup.

The game started immediately, and the starting players from both sides appeared one after another.

At this moment, there was a small detail on the court. O'Neal smiled and looked at Kobe a few times when he was on the court.

That expression seemed to say: Brother is back!

"beep!"

As soon as the whistle sounded, O'Neal took the lead and swiped the ball over Diop's head, giving the Lakers the first chance to attack!

One thing can be seen from the opening jump ball: O'Neal's desire to play tonight is no lower than the first game of the series!

Johnson also trembled inexplicably. Is O'Neal going to stage the first game of that kind of shark out of the cage tonight?

But soon, he found that the reality was a little different from what he thought.

O'Neal, instead of sinking directly to the basket to catch the ball like in the first game, twisted his big butt and ran to the high position to play a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao.

This choice surprised Johnson, and he was relieved.

If O'Neal swallows the Mavericks alive in the paint again, he will really be a little bit unbearable.

But in fact, what Johnson overlooked is that O'Neal has just returned from injury, and it is unlikely to play like that again.

If it is really hard to lie down again, it is obviously not worth the candle.

Bell once again hit the south wall, and Sun Hao used the screen to shoot a three-pointer directly.

This is a classic match between him and O'Neal.

"when!"

It's a pity that his first shot missed the frame a bit.

It can be seen that the past two games have consumed a lot of his physical energy.

Johnson was ecstatic when he saw this.

O'Neal didn't go to the basket to play, and Sun Hao exhausted his energy. Tonight, the Lone Ranger has a greater chance of winning than imagined!

Not to mention, he also prepared a killer weapon tonight.

In his excitement, he had already got up and walked to the sidelines and shouted for the team to speed up their offense.

Kobe, after playing a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, and after the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to Nowitzki!

Everyone was shocked!

You must know that in the past three games, to be precise, it should be the season when Kobe came to the Mavericks. After he got the ball, he basically did it alone, including the pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, just to create a misplaced singles opportunity.

But now, he passed the ball!

This is Johnson's trump card.

Some people may say that Kobe's current personality makes it impossible to pass the ball to Nowitzki.

This is true, but there are variables in everything.

This variable has to start with Nowitzki's hug and words of encouragement after the second fiasco.

Just like O'Neal recognized Sun Hao, after that incident, Kobe also recognized Nowitzki.

So he may still not trust others and is unwilling to pass it on to others, but Nowitzki, he is willing.

Nowitzki, a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.

"Shh!"

Still the familiar silky shot, Nowitzki steadily sent the ball into the basket!

The Mavericks, come out on top!

There were thunderous cheers at the scene.

In the opening game of offense and defense, the Mavericks completely overwhelmed the Lakers.

A signal sent out here is: they can win tonight!

"Defense! Defense!"
