Chapter 692 O'Neill's resentment is very deep

After the Celtics changed, the two sides finished the third quarter and tied again.

To be reasonable, although Daben’s shots are not missed every time, the problem is... the offensive efficiency led by him has been unable to catch up with the Celtics, and Li Shengli originally thought that he had a chance to win. I have a headache.

Selective leak prevention? !

Li Shengli will have to admit that the Celtics have caught the key points of the game and also caught the Lakers' sore feet. After all, Daben is the most important part of all tactics against the Celtics since the start of the second half.

……

To boost the offense?

If Big Ben is replaced, the task of consuming O'Neill will be forcibly terminated.

Although Rodman and Daben have similar functions and can consume O'Neal, Rodman is also a serious bias, and his defense may not be as good as the young and strong Daben, so Rodman is used for Daben. This is not going to work, the end is the same.

That is to say, Harris' strategy of consuming O'Neal was terminated.

Of course, the good news is that the Lakers have spent at least one quarter, and Li Shengli is more dominant in physical fitness.

So in the last quarter, under the arrangement of Harris, the rotation area this time is very large...

Li Shengli must be synchronized with O'Neal, so he directly returned to the offensive and defensive matchup with O'Neal, while Kobe and Barkley rested and prepared for the critical time, Rodman and Nick appeared on the stage, and Ben and Eddie continued to stay on the field.

At this time, the Lakers lineup in the final quarter is Li Shengli, Da Ben, Rodman, Nick, and Eddie.

Ben suppresses Garnett and Rodman to chase Pierce. The two sides are almost equal to abolishing the third and fourth positions, but the Celtics will have an advantage. After all, Ben and Rodman are naturally weak in offense. One cut, and Garnett and Pierce still have a chance to play.

A small part of Garnett and Pierce's offense can be offset by the combination of Nick and Eddie.

Compared with the Celtics' backcourt combination, Nick and Eddie must be stable. After the adjustment of Celtics coach Rick Pitino, the score is now tied, and all the focus is on Li Shengli and O'Neal body.

……

"The Celtics are strong enough, they have already posed a threat to us!" During the rest period at the end of the quarter, Harris looked serious, and then said to Li Shengli: "However, O'Neal has been tossed almost by us. Although there is only one section, his consumption is much greater than yours."

O'Neal has averaged 34.8 minutes per game so far this season.

Li Shengli averaged 38 minutes per game, which is the result of Harris deliberately reducing the time intensity.

But the problem is that it is not ruled out that O'Neill also has this situation.

Based on this, 40 minutes can't be more for O'Neill, that is to say, playing half a quarter is his physical limit, but Li Shengli is different... 40 minutes is not his limit. There is not much need for a regular season now, and more importantly, once O'Neal withdraws, the Celtics basically collapse.

Now let's see how the 6 minutes before O'Neal's limit are allocated.

But no matter how it is allocated, Li Shengli will have a few more minutes than him, even if it is only 2 minutes, because the message sent by O'Neal's rest is... The Celtics' heavyweight single defense at the center disappeared, and the substitute center stopped Can't stop Li Shengli; the Celtics' offensive efficiency has been cut in half, O'Neal is not there, and the Lakers have too many big men who can limit Garnett and Pierce.

……

It didn't take long, and the last quarter finally started.

O'Neal didn't take a break, and Li Shengli knew that he was planning his rest time carefully. He estimated that he would rest after two or three minutes of playing, leaving the last time at the end of the game.

At this point, the game is at the end.

There is no such thing as a super giant who can play any tactics, so the beginning of the fourth quarter became the time for Li Shengli and O'Neal to fight each other, and until now...

Both are 36 minutes.

O'Neal scored 33 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block. The block came from Ben's head.

Li Shengli scored 25 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 block. The block was on Garnett's head, and the score was 8 points less, basically in Kobe's hands, because Kobe in the third quarter was the The Lakers have heavy firepower.

Of course, O'Neal's current 10-of-4 free throws are still a big hole. If he made 70 hits, he would have to add 3 points, and this gave the Lakers a last-minute guarantee. In a balanced situation, foul tactics are enough for O'Neal to drink a pot .

……

The Lakers go first.

Ben’s high pick-and-roll sent Nick to the inside, and Nick was blocked by Garnett. He made a desperate pass to Li Shengli. .

Go back to the offense led by O'Neal.

The impact of physical fitness is all-round. O'Neal couldn't play the fierceness of the first half, and was directly blocked by Li Shengli outside the penalty area. With only 40% of the mid-range, he saw Garnett and Pierce staring hard. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn over for a jumper, and the rebound after hitting the iron was captured by Rodman who stretched his legs and created space for the jump.

Played several rounds in a row.

In the face of Li Shengli, O'Neal's strongest basket can no longer be eaten, and his efficiency has plummeted, which is quite exaggerated. Li Shengli is better, also unable to hit the basket, but he still has a mid-range distance, which stabilizes the team's efficiency.

……

This decline period came a little too early!

Rick Pitino is very upset now. After all, the Celtics' betting tactics have already caused an offensive interruption due to O'Neal's physical fatigue, and he had no choice but to replace O'Neal and put Walter on the bench. McCarty.

However, McCarty's defensive effect is ugly.

Li Shengli's forward speed is not as fast as before, but he can still push, and he can score when he hits the basket.

Pitino on the sidelines took a look at Li Shengli, and could only curse... This is really good at fighting!

……

"No, this game is basically over." Pitino patted O'Neal, who was almost paralyzed.

"Damn, these bastards... just need to consume me for one quarter, I can't stand it at all!" O'Neill wiped his sweat and said, "To be honest, the third quarter was originally a good adjustment, but these The bastard just has too many people, no matter how you fight, you will suffer."

"Yeah!" Pitino sighed and continued: "The adjustment in the third quarter is indeed feasible, but our reorganization speed was half a quarter slower, and the current situation is the consequence of that half quarter. If we played again, this half of the quarter would not happen, and we can continue to compete with the opponent now."

At the end of the field at this time.

In the 3 minutes O'Neal was on the court, the Lakers took a 3-point lead, and in the 3 minutes of O'Neal's rest, the Lakers expanded the three-pointer to 9 points.

Just played 3 minutes more than O'Neal.

The situation with Li Shengli on the court fell to the Lakers one-sidedly, and what made Pitino the most helpless was... O'Neal couldn't play any more. After all, even if Li Shengli stopped playing for 40 minutes, the Lakers still had plenty of energy. Big Ben and Rodman restricted O'Neal's offense.

Chess is short of a move and the whole game is lost.

Maybe there is still a chance to fight for that move, but now the Celtics have completely given up, and there is no need to work too hard for a regular season, and the loss is basically a loss, but the Celtics have really accumulated A valuable experience.

"Try it again, and it's not like this!" Pitino repeated.

"I know, this game is enough. I think... I can fight them this season." O'Neill was very tired, but he changed his usual jokes and said seriously: "That's the championship, I don't want to watch it. He saved up one hand of rings ahead of time, so this time I will play through the East in the playoffs, and I will play him again in the finals!"

"Don't worry, the competition in the West is bigger than you and I think, maybe the Spurs can help us!"

"No, the Spurs still can't stand in front of them. After all, they have too many bastards in the fourth position, and they can play too much. Tim Duncan can't stand it. As for David Robinson, I don't think I need more What did you say?"

"Well... maybe!" Pitino nodded, agreeing with O'Neal's statement. Of course, as the head coach, he can see some things clearly. The combat effectiveness is not as much as everyone imagined, and there are also injuries to worry about. Maybe they will not be able to play next season, and the renewal of the main players in the team is also a problem. Their adjustments for next season may not be able to bear it themselves.”

"That's for next season, I really don't want to see him save a hand full of rings in advance!"

"Why, don't you have a good relationship with him?"

"Okay? What a fart, I just don't have as many rings as him, if I also have four rings, hum!"

"Hey, Shaq, let me tell you a joke..."

"what?"

"It's not that you don't have as many rings as him, you don't have any at all!"
