The game was a mess, but the game was a mess.

Chapter 127 Internal strife

After complaining to the baseline referee to no avail, O’Neal chose to walk to the technical table and chattered in the ear of Ford, the referee of this game.

Ford did not give Shaq too much good face!

There are also standards for star whistles. He can clearly tell whether he lost the fans in Los Angeles or was known as a “black whistle”.

Especially in such a highly watched game, one or two biased whistles occasionally will not cause much response, but once the number of times increases, it will cause public anger.

You know that the Knicks are very popular among passers-by now!

The most important thing is that as the referee of this focus game, even if Ford intends to help the Lakers, he can’t make a fuss about such a clean defense.

Wang Song’s block was very neat. Although Ford couldn’t believe it before he saw it, the fact was that the rookie blocked the most violent center in the NBA.

···

In China, the commentator of CCTV shouted excitedly in the studio.

“Continuous blocks! Just now, he blocked O’Neal from the back, and in this round, O’Neal, who was trying to get back on the field, was blocked from the front again.”

“Teacher Yu Jia, I think the big shark is too polite. He knew that Wang Song had just arrived in the NBA and gave such a generous gift. He gave this young man two blocks in less than a minute.”

“Ha… Compared with O’Neal in normal times, the big shark is a little polite today!”

Zhang’s humorous commentary made Yu Jia laugh, and he also took over Zhang’s words.

New Fox Sports.

——【God sent a generous gift. I believe that old fans can all see how cruel the peak shark is to the rookie, but this time he met a tough guy. 】

——【The above person really has no sense of humor, it is obvious that the two teachers are joking~】

——【He really can’t play at all! Song Shen, this is the big shark, you just block it? After watching these two balls, I wonder if there is anyone in the league who can break through the Knicks’ restricted area? 】

——【There must be! Wait for the game between the referee who is good at refereeing and the Knicks! 】

——【Mad is so cool to watch, Shaq’s show of strength in the All-Star Game is finally coming to an end. I didn’t expect that the NBA’s lack of young inside players would let our Chinese players take over. 】

——【Wang Song’s defense is indeed fine and has withstood the test, but the Lakers’ iron bucket formation under the guidance of the Zen Master is the primary problem for the Knicks to win this game. 】

The screen was full of comments expressing their opinions, and as the game continued to be broadcast, the perspective returned to the game scene.

I have to say that the director of Staples understands the program effect very well.

He pointed the camera directly at the coaches in front of the players’ seats on both sides.

On the Lakers side.

The Zen Master’s face, which originally showed no emotion, revealed a bit of distress.

O’Neal’s condition today made him feel a little puzzled, and he asked Horace Grant, who was sitting on the bench, to warm up.

In this losing rhythm of the game, proper substitutions are the only way to help the team out of trouble.

Although the Sharks were rarely replaced because of poor performance throughout their career, the Zen Master did have this idea today because of his reckless play.

On the other side.

The bench players of the Knicks bench only threw towels, and at this moment, no news would be more exciting than Wang Song’s head-on block of O’Neal.

The Knicks coaching staff could not hide the joy on their faces.

“Mr. D’Antoni, it seems that our worries are a bit unnecessary!”

Herb Sendek said with ecstasy on his face.

“Well… that kid is tougher than we thought.”

D’Antoni, who has always been known for his seriousness since joining the Knicks, rarely praised Wang Song.

In the silent Staples Center, the celebration of the Knicks camp was particularly harsh.

This attracted a wave of criticism from Lakers fans, and there were discussions in the stands.

“What happened to Shaq today? Didn’t he have enough food? He was actually beaten by such a skinny guy!”

“Sure enough, there is no player who can stand on the altar forever, even the Big Shark will become an old shark!”

“If Shaq was three years younger, that Asian kid would pay the price for his talent!”

···

Listening to the chattering in the stands, O’Neal frowned.

How could this center who brought the highest honor to the Lakers tolerate the doubts of Lakers fans?

He immediately decided to play another ball, stuck Wang Song behind him in the low post, and reached out for the ball

.

Wang Song was well prepared and continued to deal with the fat man.

Unexpectedly, Gary Payton, who was holding the ball from the outside to the frontcourt, was in trouble.

Because there were five players on the Lakers field, but now two of them raised their hands to ask him for the ball.

In addition to O’Neal in the low post, there was also Kobe standing on the wing.

O’Neal noticed Payton’s abnormality and shouted directly at Payton: “Gary, are you going to give the opportunity to that bastard who can only miss shots?”

As soon as this sentence came out, Payton knew in his heart that it was bad.

But when he wanted to pass the ball to O’Neal, the No. 8 in the purple and gold jersey had come to him and took the ball directly.

“Shut up Shaq, you can’t score against that guy, move aside and watch my show!”

O’Neal couldn’t understand how this Lakers “showboat” dared to yell at him on the court. Just when he wanted to compete with Kobe, Kobe had already completed a mid-range jump shot.

2 points!

When returning to defense, Shaq kept chanting in Kobe’s ear: “Listen kid, if you try to steal the ball from me next time, you will be pressed on the sidelines and regret it.”

“Shaq, you don’t really think you still have the final say on this Lakers team, do you?”

Kobe glanced at the big shark with disdain: “You can’t even beat that rookie, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at me here?”

Just as the two were arguing, the Knicks counterattack had already scored.

Phil Jackson called a timeout to end the farce.

The sound of rustling in the stands rang out, which was a situation that Lakers fans didn’t want to see.

In the first quarter, O’Neal did not return.

The Lakers coaching staff did not know what medicine they gave to the big guy to make him quiet down.

What made the fans even more exaggerated was that since their beloved O’Neal left the court, the Lakers’ offense and defense became much smoother.

Even their favorite Milan Blacksmith began to pass the ball to assist his teammates, which gave many Lakers fans a crazy idea.

O’Neal’s absence may not be a bad thing!

After the first quarter, the Knicks trailed the Lakers 22:28.

As the Lakers fans saw, O’Neal’s departure did not weaken the Lakers, but greatly strengthened them.

Especially their outside core – Kobe Bryant!

After O’Neal left the court, he played very bravely. In addition to scoring 8 points in a single quarter, he also sent out 3 assists, and together with Gary Payton, he revitalized this Lakers team.
