NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 286 The Center with the Best Physical Fitness

O’Neal’s calculations are naturally included in the calculations of the Zen Master!

For a player who is petty and narrow-minded, soft is far more effective than hard.

The reprimands did not get any positive feedback from O’Neal, but the high-level PUA rhetoric always worked wonders on the big shark.

In any case, after O’Neal’s consent, the Zen Master was more confident about the second half of the game.

The second half of the game began.

Kobe, who took over the game, came up and made a turnaround mid-range shot!

After the hit, not only did he announce his return, he also cast a cold eye on Wang Song, who rained three-pointers in the Staples Center in the first half.

This was not only an ordinary mid-range shot, but also an answer ball.

Wang Song understood that this was just a part of the party struggle between OK.

What O’Neal failed to do in the first half, Kobe did in the second half, which was not only an affirmation of Kobe’s ability, but also a revelation of O’Neal’s incompetence.

But what Kobe didn’t expect was that the Asian kid on the opposite side didn’t play according to the routine at all, but instead showed his signature creepy smile.

“Well done Kobe, seeing is believing. I’ve heard about you from many people. You are definitely the best scorer on the Lakers.”

“You scare me… But you have to be careful. We will strengthen our defense against you in the next game. You won’t have such an easy chance to score again.”

The tea-like remarks sounded very obvious, but for Kobe, they sounded very useful.

Especially since the one who spoke was Wang Song. The golden words of this Knicks general sounded more sincere than those of his younger brothers under the Lakers.

It’s just that some people are happy and some are sad!

O’Neal on the side didn’t think so.

He always sneered at Wang Song’s sweet words, not to mention such an obvious green tea speech to sow discord.

But Kobe, who seemed quite pleased to hear these words, was a little angry.

He suddenly became angry and couldn’t help but secretly compare his performance in the first half with Kobe’s.

Although neither of them spoke directly, Wang Song could see something fishy from their expressions.

The OK duo, who already had a gap in their hearts, could not withstand the instigation of their opponents.

Of course, being a boaster also has its price.

The price is that Kobe’s self-confidence is getting bigger and bigger!

The absolutely confident Kobe is a player that people love and hate, including but not limited to his opponents, his fans, his coaches…

The almost paranoid shooting choices and the unreasonable hits.

Even if the Zen Master wanted to say a few words on the sidelines, he could do nothing, because when the Zen Master wanted Kobe to play more reasonably, he seemed like a villain who was eroding Kobe’s self-confidence.

For the cultivation of geniuses, the Zen Master mostly let them grow freely.

Fortunately, Kobe did not live up to the Zen Master’s trust. In the second half, the Lakers found their offensive touch again.

After Kobe scored five points in a row, the Lakers gradually found their own rhythm.

O’Neal’s focused defense also played a certain effect!

As the offensive core of the Knicks, Wang Song, who was restricted from holding the ball, could only stay on the outside to open up space, which reduced the offensive options of the Knicks.

Fortunately, D’Antoni seemed to have expected it. Except for Prince who defended Kobe, the rest of the players took advantage of this gap to arrange the rotation lineup.

D’Antoni knew that the game was not a one-day game, and it was certainly a good choice for the Knicks to hold on to the lead in the third quarter.

But he knew that the real score was settled at the moment the whistle sounded.

Rather than leading for three quarters and being overturned in the last quarter, it is better to prepare for the final quarter.

In this rhythm, the purple and gold army led by Kobe successfully chased points in the third quarter, chasing the score to 75:76, only one point behind.

The Lakers were undoubtedly excited to see the dawn again.

The fans at the scene did not hesitate to give their applause and cheers, and sent the blessings that belonged to the fans of a wealthy team to the Lakers who were trying their best to catch up.

“Kobe, Kobe, Kobe!!!”

“MVP! MVP! MVP!”

“Shaq, Shaq, Shaq!!!”

“MVP! MVP! MVP!”

On the scene

The loud double shouts were not uniform at all, and the names of Kobe and Shaq echoed in the stands.

The shouts of the fans made the names of the two teams sound like opposing teams, and almost made a joke at home.

Kobe didn’t care.

He was already enjoying the louder cheers, and with his good performance in the third quarter, he enjoyed it to his heart’s content on the bench.

It was just that O’Neal, whose shouts were constantly covered up, was a little unhappy.

Once upon a time, there was no so-called Kobe Bryant in this venue. During the three consecutive championships, only Shaq O’Neal’s name resounded through the sky at Staples.

Fortunately, the MC on the scene had good control ability and stopped the farce in time.

The last quarter started.

Both sides sent out their main lineups at the beginning of the game. O’Neal only rested for three minutes in the three quarters, and he showed fatigue as soon as he came on the court.

After receiving the pass from the outside, Wang Song made a fake shot to send O’Neal, who was not yet stable, flying, and then rushed into the basket to meet Karl Malone and scored 2+1.

The down-and-out O’Neal originally wanted to take the opportunity of the last quarter to vent his emotions, but he still overestimated his physical strength.

With almost no rest in the first three quarters, O’Neal was physically exhausted at the beginning of the last quarter.

The steady Zen Master is not a paranoid like Kobe!

While Wang Song was shooting free throws, Phil Jackson wisely replaced him and let O’Neal rest.

But O’Neal’s departure was a sign of weakness for the Knicks or Wang Song.

Only in the duel between top centers did Wang Song’s three-point ability stand out so preciously.

But after O’Neal left the court, the Lakers’ restricted area was only guarded by the substitute center and the “mailman”.

No matter how bad O’Neal’s rim protection is, he is at least a second-team center.

But his substitute is just a European white center who can hardly get into the starting lineup. This type of center has only one thing in common with O’Neal.

That is, they both have good tonnage and huge bodies, and look like good rebounders.

But other than that, they have nothing in common.

When facing O’Neal, Wang Song needs to open up space and create enough distance for his teammates.

But when facing the Lakers’ substitute center, Wang Song only needs to use his skilled skills in the low post to break through the high wall of Los Angeles.

After Wang Song scored twice in a row at the basket, the Zen Master kept pacing back and forth on the sidelines.

Because it was only about one and a half minutes before O’Neal left the court, it was far from enough for O’Neal to recover his strength and return to the court.
